Citation: Campbell, J.F. Stored product insect behavior. In: J.W. Heaps, Editor, Insect Management for Food Storage and Processing. St. Paul, MN. AACC International. p. 39-51. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: What makes an insect a pest of the food industry? Any answer to this question likely involves some aspect of the pest's behavior. Stored-product insects have a diverse array of behavioral traits that enable them to thrive in the environments created by humans for the processing and storage of food. For example, infestation of packaged commodities results from the ability of insects to locate and enter flaws in packaging. However, behavioral traits can also be exploited for pest monitoring and management. For example, pheromone trapping exploits the behavioral responses of insects to cues used during reproduction. An understanding of pest behavior is therefore critical for the development of effective integrated pest management (IPM) programs focused on preventing pest problems from developing and targeting interventions to maximize efficacy and minimize costs. This chapter focuses on two broad topics that encompass many important behavioral traits that have significant implications for pest management in the food industry: 1) exploitation of patchy environments and 2) response to stimuli. Within each of these topics, the fundamental principals that need to be understood, how these behaviors are expressed in stored-product insects, and, finally, implications for pest management are discussed.

The global pinch has yet to reach the Porsche-driving classes, according to the luxury carmaker.
Germany-based Porsche AG today said it has already accelerated to record sales of 128,978 cars worldwide in the 11 months to November, beating the 118,868 sold in the whole of last year.
Sales and marketing director Bernhard Maier said: "The fact we have already surpassed the previous year's result in November is no reason for us to rest on our laurels. On the contrary, it is an incentive to deliver maximum performance in the next year."
Porsche has seen surging demand for its cars in 2012 with sales last month alone up 39% on last year. The company said its third-generation Boxster has proved the most popular model internationally.
The boom in sales has been driven by China and the US, where demand last month was 70% higher than November 2011.
New World and Far East money has proved crucial in offsetting the 7.1% fall in car sales across Europe this year.
The result is good news for Volkswagen, which completed a €4.46 billion (£3.6 billion) takeover of the carmaker in July. Porsche said at the time it expects to increase profit this year as record vehicle sales help offset high costs for model launches and factory extensions.

Our purchases prevent as many as 3,421,989 pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere annually. This is the equivalent to one of the following environmental benefits:
– Removing 284 cars from the road for a year
– Converting 205 average U.S. households to renewable energy for a year
– The amount of CO2 absorbed annually be protecting 352 acres of forest
American Rivers

We help communicate that message with the American Rivers logo prominently displayed on our bags. Boulder Canyon also donates cases of chips, volunteer t-shirts, and trash bags to all river cleanups. Last year we donated over 70,000 trash bags used by volunteers to remove debris from rivers across the country. This year American Rivers will host approximately 500 cleanups thanks to 60,000 volunteers who help communities keep their rivers clean and trash-free.
Sustainable Forestry Initiative

The material is also recyclable through organic recycling (composting) facilities.
Our compostable bags are produced from wood pulp, sourced from managed plantations. The suppliers who manage these plantations either have, or are working towards Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or similar certification. Unlike corn and starch-based compostable bags, the wood pulp mitigates any potential negative impact on existing food supplies. Similarly, the material has the same energy value as wood and can be safely disposed of in modern incineration plants to recover the energy value.

[USA] Striker Jozy Altidore, who started all four U.S. games at the 2010 World Cup, has been added to the U.S. roster for its Aug. 10 game
against Brazil, replacing German product Jermaine Jones. Uncapped Los Angeles Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez has been added, replacing Columbus Crew defender
Chad Marshall.
Jones, born in Germany to an American father, had announced his intention last year to represent the USA -- he previously played for Germany -- but he was then sidelined by a shin injury. He accepted the invi ation for the Brazil game but, according to U.S. Soccer, after further discussions will remain with FC Schalke to prepare for his first competitive matches in more than a year.
Gonzalez, the 2009 MLS Rookie of the Year, was invited after Marshall withdrew from the roster.
Altidore was scoreless at the World Cup but has nine goals in 29 career games for the USA. He has returned to Villarreal after last season's loan stint with England's Hull City.
Jones, in a prepared statement, said, "I would like to thank Bob Bradley and the U.S. federation greatly for my first official invitation. It is an honor that I have been working towards for over a year, and while I initially felt like I was ready to make my first appearance, it is also extremely important to me that I am 100 percent fit for my first national team game and that I make a good impression on the manager and my teammates. I hope to receive another invitation and finally fulfill my goal of playing with the U.S. national team in the very near future."

I think you may now be my favorite artist on this website, if only because I've seen two awesome pieces of yours in a row! I'm not a fan of Iron Maiden, so I don't really understand it. I don't have to, to appreciate how awesome it is. It looks like the scene of a great comic book. I'd like to see you work on a comic book. I think what really works is how you can not see their faces.
You still greatly understand exactly what is going through these character's heads. I don't know what, but it's drawn wonderfully. I also love the huger towers in the background. The crows make it great too. It's the little things that bring everything out in this. I love it!

Why The Recent Infosys/Airtel Deal Is A Glimpse Into The Future Of IT Services
Posted by Fred Giron on March 7, 2012
- 666 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Infosys announced last week that Bharti Airtel, India's leading mobile service provider, has selected its WalletEdge platform to operate Airtel Money, the first mobile wallet service in India. This announcement is interesting from a few different perspectives. First, it will provide a new source of revenues for the Indian telecom industry, which has been struggling with low ARPUs for several years. Second, it's a boon for the banking industry, which will find a way to accelerate financial inclusion initiatives in line with the recommendations from the Reserve Bank of India. Obviously, the urban Indian consumer will also benefit from the "pay anytime, anywhere" convenience of such a service.
I also look at this deal from an IT services industry perspective, and I believe that it embeds a set of very interesting attributes that will become increasingly prevalent in the way IT services vendors engage with their clients moving forward:
- IP assets and domain expertise are the building blocks for innovative services. Infosys leveraged its own existing intellectual property (IP) assets, along with strong domain expertise in the financial services and telecom sector, to build the WalletEdge solution. This included regulatory compliance, transaction management, and security best practices as well as the Finacle Digital Commerce solution on the mobile commerce front. Multichannel integration expertise combined with Infosys' multichannel gateway were the key capabilities leveraged from a telecom point of view. In addition to this IP and domain expertise, strong architecture and system integration capabilities were also important to stitch the WalletEdge platform together.
- Scale is a key success factor for IP-based solutions. Over the past couple of years, individual mobile wallet pilots run by telecom operators in India proved unsuccessful, mostly due to the lack of economic sustainability of these solutions. The platform created by Infosys is hosted as a shared service on a private cloud infrastructure providing scale, flexibility, and robustness to handle millions of customers performing billions of transactions. Airtel is the first telecom operator to jump on the platform; over time, others will follow, driving economies of scale and making the service more affordable, which is a critical success factor in price-sensitive markets like India.
- IT services vendors are multistakeholder integration enablers. Regulatory bodies, telecom providers, banks, public sector institutions, and merchants are all key stakeholders in mobile wallet projects. Infosys has developed four key use cases (consumer-to-consumer, consumer-to-merchant, government-to-consumer, and enterprise cash management) catering to all these stakeholders.
- Reverse innovation is gaining traction as the next innovation model in IT services. IP assets will be key success factors for IT services vendors entering emerging markets. It is interesting to see that Infosys is leveraging the India domestic market to innovate in the delivery and business models of this mobile wallet platform. The company has identified opportunities in other emerging markets, such as sub-Saharan Africa, where both mobile penetration and financial inclusion objectives are high. Interestingly, developed markets are also on the radar and several European banks have shown interest in the mobile commerce solution.

I love these credits: "Golden Delicious would like to extend our greatest thanks, appreciation and love to everyone who shared live experiences with us as some of the most kick-ass times we've ever had." This live bluegrass alt country CD embodies their spit kicking gratitude.
In essence, the recording of this Portland, Oregon show is alive, fun and exudes the kind of spontaneous joy that both the artist and the audience share here on disc for all of us to enjoy.
Golden Delicious
Live at the Laurelthirst
The band boasts a lineup complete with washboard, banjo and fiddle players. I always wondered what the difference was between a fiddle and a violin. I guess it is like the difference between a harmonica and a harp. Just as Sonny Boy Williamson never played no harmonica, the fiddle player, Ms. Hord, on this recording ain't playin' no violin here.
A track by track listing and critique is somewhat fruitless here because this is the kind of music you feel (wait-is there any other kind?). Some of the tracks are uptempo. Some are story numbers. All the tracks give me the feeling I had when I visited the Gospel tent at the New Orleans Jazz Festival a few years ago: it's very uplifting and powerful celebration music.
My personal favorite on the CD is "Alabama Carmody". It is a bit more uptempo guitar based, and the band is really chugging and rolling along in a real hootenanny style.
Man, I feel like square dancing after this one. What else can I add? The performances are strong. These guys and gals can play their instruments. Fans of alt country, bluegrass and traditional country a la Carter Family will enjoy this.

TJ Rosenthal kicks off our week of coverage here at Turn On The Jets with his weekly No Huddle. Make sure to give him a follow on Twitter - Get A King's Ransom For Revis Or Keep Him When healthy, Darrelle Revis is the best on a team that is in dire need of three to four pieces on offense. Can Revis provide this compensation right now, only months after ACL surgery? We suggest that the Jets find out, by asking for a king's ransom for him, hoping there's a taker. If not, Gang Green should sit tight with him, and look to open up cap room in another way. There have to be other roads to take. Revis is too good for the Jets to feel pressured in any way to get rid of him for say, a 2nd and 4th rounder. Second level value due to his knee injury. Not when his signing elsewhere before 2014 guarantees the Jets a third round pick as compensation anyway. Woody, for a ton of pieces for 24. That, or else try to negotiate with the Revis team and go for a long term deal that keeps him a Jet. No cheap giveaways involving the team's best player please. Play Like A Jet? No. Play Like Chrebet Toughness, resiliency, and a team first attitude. Letting one's play on the field speak for itself. That is what "Play Like a Jet" should mean from here on in. The way that Wayne Chrebet used to do it. Chrebet's no nonsense "gamer" style ought to be the template going forward for a franchise that is once again looking to rebrand itself individually and collectively, Sanchez Doesn't Need Garcia, He Needs Dr. Phil Mark Sanchez will be back. GM John Idzik has already intimated that. He will have veteran competition too this year. Probably a Matt Moore type, a cheap option with experience. Sanchez is meeting these days with former QB Jeff Garcia to learn the West Coast system that new OC Marty Mornhinweg will implement. Yet playbooks and preparation are never a problem for Sanchez, who will now be in his third system as a Jet. Self confidence and a short memory is. Sanchez has to somehow return to Florham Park with an exterior that is harder than he has ever shown. The fans have him on a short rope now. Opposing teams love trying to rattle him. He will be challenged for his job all summer too. Which Sanchez will we see after those first mistakes, and boos at home? The guy who is ready to lead finally, or the one who hesitates, doubts himself, and compounds mistakes? Sanchez needs to clean up the emotional part of his game. More than he has to up his understanding of the X's and O's. If he can do that, he can succeed in the right system with the proper help. If he can't, no system, personnel additions, or grasp of the playbook will matter. Free Agency Heats Up In March Who will join Sanchez at QB and what will happen to Tim Tebow? Will Revis remain a Jet? These questions and many more are now just weeks away from getting answered. 6-10 means "not good enough." Expect the unexpected with regard to personnel moves. It's all about to heat up. The rumors, the deceptions, the sneak attacks for off the radar players. The free agency period is a game within the game, and one the Jets must perform better at this year if they want to have a chance to compete in 2013.

I increasingly have become disturbed at the non-stop media stories about Herman Cain and his escapades with women and conflicts with Rick Perry. Lost in this media blitz is any concern for poor Michele Bachmann who has been left behind. Is it because she is a woman? Ann Coulter recently commented that "our Republican blacks are better than Democratic blacks," but she did not utter a more important point, "our Republican women are better than Democratic women!" Why have Republican women been left out of the media?
Let's face it, when it comes to knowing less about world affairs, Michele Bachmann does not have to take a back seat to the Republican black guy. OK so she never ran a pizza place, but she was a lawyer. Oh, I forgot, among modern Republicans being a lawyer is less important than knowing how to make pizza.
My advice to Michele: get a job in a pizza place. Have an affair with some guy(preferably black or Asian so you can cite multicultural issues) and make certain the media learns all about it. The bottom line is that it guarantees at least several days of media coverage.

State Sen. Leland Yee told KQED's Paul Lancour today that he is planning to introduce legislation to require people who manufacture guns on 3-D printers to undergo background checks. If that effort should fail, Yee said he then will attempt to have such weapons banned altogether.
"What I'm looking at right now is to ensure that any individual who is going to make a gun out of these 3-D printers go through a background check, just like any other individuals who purchase a gun," Yee said.
Yee's announcement mirrors efforts by legislators on a national level to regulate 3-D guns in the wake of a YouTube video demonstrating just how easily such weapons can be made. They require as few as 15 components that can all be built on 3-D printers.
"What is even more dangerous about these guns," said Yee, " is that because they are made out of polymer [they] in fact can go through a metal detector or an X-ray machine undetected."
Yee's initial focus on the background check issue also comes soon after the apparent failure on Capitol Hill to expand background checks on a national level. Those legislative efforts came after the school killings in Newtown, Conn., last December.
"Part of the reason we have background checks is to ensure that felons, criminals, are not going to have guns," Yee said. "[And] that those individuals who have mental health issues are not going to have guns. And so now there is a gaping loophole to allow any individual to make a gun undetected, and the guns themselves are undetected. It's going to create a tremendously unsafe situation for the rest of society."

100 AMP service to barn
Electrician suggested using #1 Copper, 3 wires for 100 AMP going 245' placing in 2" schedule 80. Grounding at Barn. #1 Copper to allow correct voltage drop.
Let's see if I understand correctly:
100 AMP Breaker at Panel in house
100 AMP Shut Off Box in house (separate from panel) Note: barn can be shut off at Shut off w/o interupting main 200 AMP panel
I have two 200 AMP panels in home. One panel is nearly empty.
100 AMP Breaker Panel in Barn with Main Switch to kill power while in barn.
Uses will only be a few lights, stock tank heater and welder. Heat by wood only.
Does this sound like it will work? I am trenching, placing water first, then conduit on Friday Oct.17, 2008
A 4-wire feeder is IMO a better installation anyway.
A ground rod at a detached structure with a feeder is mandatory in either case.

Apple's iPad Sales See Disruptions, OK in Shanghai for Now
I have written before about the challenges to international business operations and the difficulty in adjusting to differences in political, economic, and judicial structures between countries. Regulatory differences seem to be troubling tech companies the most in recent times, specifically regarding laws relating to privacy, piracy, antitrust regulation, and now trademark violations. Apple currently finds itself in the middle of a legal push by Proview International, a Chinese company, and its parent company to disrupt sales of the iPad. According to The New York Times, the parent company is a Taiwanese computer monitor manufacturer that contends its subsidiary in the Guangdong Province has the rights to the iPad name in mainland China. Thus, Proview and its parent company are working to block Apple's usage of the name, and by extension the selling of the iPad products where they feel they have the trademark rights.
On the other side, Apple claims its subsidiary attained from Proview the rights to the iPad name years ago but that Proview did not register the change in trademark ownership. The trademark dispute has been taken to court in several locations by Proview, most notably in Shanghai. Just this week the Shangai Pudong New Area People's court suspended the case stating they would not make a ruling because there is a similar pending case between the two parties in the Guangdong Province.
Apple welcomed this result, given the fact that Proview has successfully blocked iPad sales in several small cities in the country. Apple is looking to not lose any momentum on the sale of their entire range of products as they are growing in popularity throughout China. The filing of the case in Shanghai likely stood as measure to establish how much the company could disrupt iPad sales in one of the biggest markets.
This situation clearly illustrates how companies become more vulnerable when they operate in new locations. Companies open themselves up to such battles when they enter new territories both inside and out of their own countries, but especially internationally. According to The New York Times, Proview is facing bankruptcy and has indicated the company is trying to drive Apple to ultimately pay compensation. This is a lesson for companies in any industry expanding their operations, taking any steps possible to limit their risk of such circumstances and the litigation that follows.
During expansion, companies can benefit from expert consultants that can advise decision-makers on how to best navigate new regulatory and legal circumstances. In the online environment, SEO companies perform the same functions assisting businesses not with regulatory or legal advice but on how to get the most out of their web presence when expanding internationally. During this time of transition, there is much change including the target audience which will often require SEO based on language and cultural specifications. Transition across borders is not easy but can bring unprecedented opportunity and growth when you have the appropriate assistance along the way.

American Idol Changes
Things will be a little different on this year's American Idol. Besides the fact that the only original judge remaining will be our Dawg Randy Jackson, the format of dwindling down the contestants by gender is getting tweaked.
You could see an all-male or all-female top 12 this year on "American Idol." And instead of viewers at home whittling down the final 24 contestants over three weeks, this year's show will featuring a single, 20-singer "sudden-death" round that will determine the season 10 finalists.
Here's Randy Jackson's thoughts on the show adjustments.

Out On Film receives grant from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
Out On Film, Atlanta's LGBT film festival, is proud to announce that it has received a grant from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its 2014 festival. It is one of 23 U.S. festivals that The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has funded for next year in the 16th year of the Academy's Film Festival Grants Program.
The program's mission is to make festival events more accessible to the general public, provide greater access to minority and less visible filmmakers, and help strengthen the connection between the filmmaker and the public. It has awarded Out On Film $2,700 for Out On Film's 2014 filmmaker appearances and Q and A sessions.
"We are thrilled," says Out On Film festival director Jim Farmer. "We are honored at the support and grateful at the Academy's continued support of film festivals. Having filmmakers as part of our festival has become a vital, nationally-recognized element of what we are about."
The just-completed Out On Film 26, which took place October 3 – 10, 2013, was the most-attended festival in the organization's history with more than 6500 attendees over eight days and the highest number of filmmakers ever present. Among filmmakers/performers in attendance were Darren Stein ("Jawbreaker') for his comedy "G.B.F;" Jim Tushinski of "I Always Said Yes: The Many Lives of Wakefield Poole;" "Noah's Arc" veteran Doug Spearman for his directorial debut "Hot Guys With Guns;" Scott Gracheff and Alice Hoagland (Mark Bingham's mother) for "The Rugby Player;" Cindy Abel for "Breaking Through;" actors Matthew Camp and Tanner Cohen ("Were the World Mine," HBO's upcoming "Looking") for "Getting Go: The Go-Doc Project;" Ty Martin, one of the subjects of "Before You Know It;" iconic actress Guinevere Turner ("Go Fish") and writer/director Anna Margarita Albelo of "Who's Afraid of Vagina Woolf?;" Robert Phillipson of "The Blacks of Their Eyes;" Charlie Vaughn of "First Period;" director Del Shores and actor/producer Emerson Collins of "Southern Baptist Sissies;" Sister Missionary P. Delight of "Joy: Portrait of a Nun;" and Shane Bitney Crone, subject of the documentary "Bridegroom."
Established in 1987, Out On Film is one of the oldest and largest LGBT film festivals in the U.S. and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2012. The 2014 festival will be held October 2 – 9. A special "thank you" patron/sponsor party is scheduled for November 24th at 5 p.m. at the Phillip Rush Center.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world's preeminent movie-related organization, with a membership of more than 6,000 of the most accomplished men and women working in cinema. Although best known for its annual Oscar telecast, the Academy is involved in a wide array of education, outreach, preservation and research activities. More information is available at www.oscars.org
Sponsors for Out On Film include Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., Georgia Council for the Arts, W Atlanta – Midtown, Orbitz, Georgia Film Office, The GA Voice, Project Q Atlanta, David Atlanta, Apres Diem, MEAK Productions, Actor's Express, Atlanta Pride and Gayborhood.

God's Car Wash
Cindee Snider Re
1/08/2010 / Devotionals
It was Sunday afternoon. The sun was shining and the temperature above freezing - the perfect opportunity to wash my salt-coated van. I'd been grumbling about it for a week, telling my husband it was like "seeing through a glass darkly," and hoping he would get it washed before leaving for Europe. He didn't, and now I was determined. Washing the van shouldn't have been much of an issue, but I'd never actually driven it through a car wash, and questioned my ability to navigate this somehow daunting task. Yet the afternoon was so perfect, how hard could it be?
I waited in line until it was my turn to punch in my pre-paid code - once, twice, three times - without success. The picky little machine simply refused to accept the code. I grabbed my wallet and started hastily feeding dollar bills into the slot, until it finally accepted enough for a basic wash not the one I'd already paid for, but that no longer mattered.
The door opened and beautiful, sudsy, white underbody foam sprayed from the jets as I inched forward. Ahhhthis wasn't so hard. I could already envision my van, clean and glistening, in the mid-winter sunshine. As the "Drive Slowly" light went out, I stopped and waited, expecting bursts of cleansing water to spray my van at any moment. I waitedand waited, and nothing happened - absolutely nothing! No water sprayed from the nozzles, no soap soaked my van, and no lights ever came back on. But the front door eventually began to rise, and there I sat in my salt-encrusted van, ready to cry. I should have laughed. The attendant sure did! She handed me a new code, and when I asked the expiration date, she laughed again, asking, "Why?" I think she actually expected me to try that again, but I'd already decided I would simply drive my salt-white van exactly as it was until spring!
Later that evening, as I was cleaning up from dinner, I heard what sounded like big, fat raindrops hitting the roof. I checked. Unbelievably, it was raining! My heart soared. My amazing Heavenly Father knew all about this tiny, seemingly insignificant detail in my life, and cared so much that He sent a car wash - a car wash even I could manage. I grabbed the keys and backed my van out of the garage and right into that steadily falling rain. It was a moment of pure joy!
Philippians 4:19 says, "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." God knows every single detail of our lives, and He cares about them deeply. He loves us so much more than we can begin to imagine, and promises to provide everything we need, not always in ways we expect, but always perfectly, in His time and His way. God didn't smooth out the bumps in my afternoon, because His gift was already on its way - a Heavenly car wash - no codes, no machines, no money, no lines, and no skill necessary, just His perfect presence and my faith.

text: When anyone thinks of New Berlin Eisenhower, they immediately think of Nicole Bauman, the best player in the state based on the fact that Gatorade and the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association named her the state's top player — "Miss Basketball.""They are led by one of the best basketball players — boy or girls — that I have seen in the state of Wisconsin in the last 10 years," Whitefish Bay coach Greg Capper said after the Lions blew out his team, 48-23, on Saturday to win the Waukesha South Sectional to qualify for state for the second time in three years.But I think the key phrase in that statement is "led by" because the Lions are a far cry from a one-person show. As amazing as Bauman is — and she is amazing — the reason for this team's success is depth and talent combined with a passion and drive to succeed that is hard to find on most teams.Besides Bauman, it is easy to focus on junior forwards Jenny Weiland and Katie Lang, the second- and third-leading scorers on this team, who would be stars if they played on another team.They both stepped up their game when Bauman hurt her ankle and missed two games in January and will have a chance to shine even more next season.Two other players who do their jobs are Taylor McArthur, a 5-foot-5-inch senior guard, who does a lot of positive things that go unnoticed in the box score, and Jessa (don't call me Jessica) Hahn, a 6-foot sophomore forward, who hit a big 3-pointer on Saturday and played good defense on Maya Jonas, Bay's outstanding 6-2 sophomore.But two of my favorite players among the top seven are junior starting guard Erin Ganzke and sophomore guard and sixth-man deluxe Kristen Hesselbach.Ganzke at 5-6 and Hesselbach at 5-5 are usually found right in the middle of the action — making steals, playing defense or putting up rebound baskets in the land of the giants. Both these girls are fearless and their play in the last two games had a lot to do with the Lions' defensive success."She had a mission today, she had to get there (state)," Ike coach Gary Schmidt said. "She missed last season (ACL injury). She's a hard worker and she does have a lot of grit. Look at her size and stature. She doesn't give an inch to anybody. "She'll go in and knock around with the big people. You love to have a kid like that on your team. She never shows any negative emotion. She goes with the flow and she does what she needs to do."Listen to what Schmidt has to say about Hesselbach, the closest thing to the Energizer Bunny in a basketball jersey that I have seen this year."With some teams they put in a sub, they might think they're getting a little break," he said. "Kristen is just as tough as anyone. She is always under their chin; one step ahead of everybody. "She gets a lot of kudos for her defense, but she's a darn good offensive player too. She's smart; doesn't turn the ball over, makes things happen. You bring in kids who can do the job; you have nothing to worry about. She was just phenomenal tonight."Bauman, who is a lot more outgoing about her teammates than herself, also praised Ganzke and Hesselbach."Kristin and Erin picked us right up and that sparked us right there," Bauman said when talking about the Lions' rally on Saturday. "At practice they play hard, always challenging me, challenging the rest of the team. It's just amazing. Kristen knows coming off the bench, she can just work her hardest and you can see what she does."Both players were quick to compliment each other."When one person comes in and brings up the energy it brings the whole team up," Hesselbach said. "We start playing as a team and start playing our game. "Erin always knows where to cut, when to pass the ball. She finds those gaps and holes underneath the basket. It helps spread it out and she becomes a threat inside as well as outside."Added Ganzke: "We talked about picking up our game because we started out slow. Kristen brings a lot of energy and when we're not playing well, she gets us going." One of the best plays of the game actually came late in the fourth period. Ganzke was on the far right side of the court and when the defense shifted over, she drilled a perfect pass over the defense to Hesselbach, who banked in the layup.Walking off the court afterward, I ran into Ganzke and asked for her reaction to the win since she missed last's year's game because of knee surgery."It meant everything to me," she smiled and said, probably summing up the thoughts of all the Eisenhower fans. The Lions were headed back to state for the second time in three years.

This tool is in the Backtrack repositories, so if you want it apt-get install it.
I thought there was a samba service in earlier versions of BackTrack, but it doesn't seem to be on the list of services for version 4, R2.
Having a samba service is very useful for things like booting a virus-infected or otherwise failing windows machine in BackTrack, and then sharing that machine's drives or folders on the network for inspection, file-backup, or virus scanning from a different (probably windows) machine.
`apt-get install samba` and `apt-get install system-config-samba` are the two commands I happened to use to achieve this. It would be nice if these were included in BackTrack by default. Thanks.
* I guess that, since "samba" is a dependency package for "system-config-samba", that simply installing the latter would install both.
* FYI, after installing system-config-samba, the new menu item can be found at System > Samba
This tool is in the Backtrack repositories, so if you want it apt-get install it.

|High School Humiliation
It was late Friday afternoon, and a bunch of students had gathered in the hallway outside their rooms. There was a flurry of activity as some girls returned naked from their last class, having been inspected or perhaps punished by one of their professors, and so they took the opportunity to put on either a top or a skirt — just something so they wouldn't be naked. Other girls were so relieved to be finished with the pressure-cooker of inspections that it was a relief to change into something more comfortable, like a loose-fitting pair of pajamas, and just sit with their friends in the hallway. Donna and Crysta liked to share a pair of pajamas — Crysta wore the top, and Donna wore the bottom, holding it up when she got up, since it was several sizes too big for her. The environment was so friendly and easy-going that the girls felt comfortable wearing a wide variety of styles.
It was in this relaxed milieu that one of the girls suggested going into town for dinner. They were all primed for just such a suggestion, and agreed instantly. "Wait for me!" I said as the gaggle of girls made their way to the stairway. I'm Carol, one of the shyer girls in the group, so I need to cover myself up, especially if I'm going off-campus. I jumped into a pair of painters pants, with straps and a bib to at least partly cover my admittedly big tits. I ran after the other girls and soon caught up to them.
They were talking about the humiliations they had suffered in high school from the teachers, the dress codes, and the other students. I chimed in, "the stocks were awful".
The chatter stopped. I could feel my face redden. "Didn't you have stocks in your school?" I felt like I had stepped into a big pile of dogshit. "You know, wooden stocks?"
"Like in olden times? Puritans?"
I let out my breath. "Yeah, that's it. When we did something wrong, like forgetting our homework, or whatever, the teachers would make us get in the stocks."
"What was that like?" one girl asked.
"Well, it was low to the ground, but high enough that you couldn't really kneel. The teacher would unlock it, and lift the top piece off, and then you put your head and both hands on the bottom piece. Then the teacher would lock the top piece down, so you can't take your hands or your head out."
"And you're standing there, all bent over?"
"Yeah. And you can't look anywhere but down. You can hear people around you, but you can't see anyone. But they can all see you."
"That must have been awful."
"I haven't even told you the worst part. It was the spankings. You see, the boys spank the girls while they were in the stocks. The teachers always told them to stop spanking the girls. Don't you think they feel humiliated enough without being spanked? But somehow they never seemed serious enough for the boys to stop. I can't tell you how helpless I would feel, all bent over like that, when I would hear some boys behind me talking about how they would spank one of us."
"The boys spanked you through your clothes?"
"Sometimes. But sometimes they lifted up my skirt, and spanked my bare bottom. I hated that the most."
"You mean they spanked you through your panties?"
"Yes, if I wore panties that day. I felt so vulnerable with my hands immobilized, and my butt sticking out into the hallway with so many students going back and forth behind me. If I was wearing a dress, it seemed the boys would always lift it higher than necessary for just a spanking. Did they need to bare my breasts, too? Some of the boys would make me spread my legs, which also seemed unnecessary, but what could I do? I really had to obey them, so they would stop spanking me."
"I guess an experience like that would teach you to wear panties!"
"It's not that simple. You see, our Dress Code wasn't like the one here at the College. For us, the rule was you had to wear a dress long enough to cover your panties, so the test was always whether a teacher could see your panties. Like all the girls, I wanted to wear the shortest dress possible, but I didn't like to get caught by the Dress Code. So I was in history class one day, and the teacher was going through the class in order, asking each student to point out some random country or city on the world map. Nichole was right in front of me, and she had to point out Norway. She was short, like me, and she goes up to the map, looks around, and picks up the teacher's pointer stick. 'No,' says the teacher, 'point to it with your finger.' Making it harder for her was the fact there was a big box of computer paper on the floor directly in front of the map. So the poor girl straddles the box of paper, hunches her shoulders, and as gingerly as possible begins reaching up to Norway. Well, by the time she got to London and France, we all saw her underpants! The teacher said her dress was too short, and so she had to take it off. She begged him for leniency, but he was firm."
Get it? He was firm!
I was thinking this would be no big deal. Nichole would strip down to her bra and panties, and then we would get on with the class. But Nichole was really shy, so it affected her quite a bit. The poor thing, she threw her dress on the teacher's desk, and went back to her seat, sobbing. Meanwhile, I was thinking: my dress was an inch or two shorter than Nichole's, and I wasn't wearing a bra. And I was next to come up to the front of the room. This would not be good. So while everyone was watching Nichole cry and carry on, I slipped off my panties. You see, the rule is, if the teacher can't see your panties, then your dress is long enough. A technicality, perhaps, but I was prepared to take it to the highest court! Once Nichole's sobbing died down to a reasonable level, the teacher called me to the front of the room, and asked me to point out the city of Reykjavik. I straddled the big box, and raised my arm up to point out the city, knowing my asshole was in full view.
"You're not wearing panties!" the teacher said. My classmates stifled their laughter.
"That's true," I said, sheepishly.
"That's a violation of…"
"Of the Dress Code?" I asked, my hands on my hips. "No, it's not. I checked."
"Well, your dress has to be long enough to cover your panties," said the teacher.
"Yes," I said, defiantly. "And what is the test, specified in the Dress Code, to verify this?"
"The teacher stuttered and stammered, and I knew I had won my case. So from that day forward, I made sure not to wear panties under my shortest dresses and skirts. The only downside was the occasional bare-ass spanking I would receive while in the stocks."
By this time, we had arrived at the restaurants, and we faced a choice. The two best restaurants, right next to each other, each had specials that all the girls really liked. One had the "bottomless salad bar", which was only a dollar for bottomless girls. The other served "breasts" of chicken, which were offered at a discount to topless girls. The catch at both restaurants was that every girl in the party had to agree to the terms, or else none of them would get the special.
As it happened, the girls split down the middle, mostly based on what they were wearing. For example, Donna and Crysta were wearing the bottom and top of a pair of pajamas, so Donna was already topless, and Crysta was already bottomless. Carol's painter's pants covered her bottom quite a bit more completely than her top. Some of the girls were wearing dresses that might have been short enough for the bottomless salad bar — this turned into a topic of discussion: how much bottom has to be showing to qualify for the discount salad bar? There was some discussion of splitting up, but Donna and Crysta were emphatic about the whole group staying together, and the girls agreed. In the end, it turned out there were more bottomless girls than topless ones, so everyone wearing a bottom had to take it off, and then they would all go to the bottomless salad bar.
I'm very shy, but I didn't want to be a party pooper, so I took off my painter's pants. Donna saw me strip naked, and joined me, taking off her pajama bottoms. We checked them at the coat check window, and I felt myself trembling, I was so shy. I mean, it's one thing to be naked on campus, with so many other naked girls, but here we were out in the big city. Donna was so sweet, she saw me trembling, and held my hand as we walked back to the table to join our friends. When we got to the table, I kissed her, and she responded warmly. She could see I still needed comfort, so she let me sit on her lap.
It was fun to go to a restaurant with a special theme. Even the hostesses were bottomless, wearing a cute little "belly shirt" that accentuated their feminine form. Their naked butts and high-heel shoes gave their legs a long sleek look. Many of them were college girls, and so they were completely shaved.
The waitress came to the table, and asked us what we would like. She was very pretty, but not bottomless. Her apron covered her front almost completely, with cute little breasts peaking out of each side. When she turned to leave, however, I could see she wasn't wearing anything besides the apron. She had beautiful hips, and a nice, round ass. Her ass was nice and firm, and she held it in a relaxed way that made me think she was used to showing it off in public. I enjoyed the way she wasn't the least self-conscious, never squeezing her butt cheeks together to try to hide her asshole or her pussy. When she needed to bend over, she wasn't shy about it; she just did it. Very pretty.
Donna was so sweet, stroking my belly from time to time, to make me feel at ease. I shifted to the side so I could rest my head against her soft, sweet neck. I love the way Donna smells. I stroked her perfect breasts, letting my fingers touch her hard nipples, and then gently down her flat belly to her pretty legs. Donna relaxed her legs, letting them fall gently apart. I took the hint, and stroked her soft inner thigh. She closed her eyes, and leaned her head back, as I traced little circles on her beautiful tan legs, getting ever closer to her sexy pussy. When I finally reached it, I found it to be quite wet, and so relaxed. I felt under her soft, sweet lips, and let her juices flow down between her legs. I slowly slid off her, and knelt on the floor in front of her. She lifted her legs, and shifted her butt forward in the chair, with my face just inches from the source of her sweet nectar. With childlike delight, I nuzzled her, breathing in her fragrance. As she dripped, I tried to lick up every drop, she was so delicious! I spread her legs apart, and she didn't resist. She opened like a beautiful flower. I continued licking her juices, from her asshole to her pussy, sometimes plunging my tongue into one hole or the other, she was so relaxed!
Then, unexpectedly, she clenched my head between her legs, and held her breath. I grabbed her and held her tight, my face still pressed against her pussy. I looked up and saw her eyes were closed, and then I noticed her nipples were very hard, so I kissed them tenderly. She held me tight, barely sitting on the chair, her warm, moist pussy now pressed against my belly. I slowly got up from my kneeling position, and kissed her pretty face. She grabbed me even harder, and kissed me back, like I've never been kissed before! Then, when we had kissed for a long time, she opened her eyes, and gestured to the chair. I sat down, and she sat on my lap. She melted in my arms like a cuddly kitten. I have never been happier in my life!

/// Suing Facebook? Best of Luck.
May 25, 2012 | All Things Digital
By Wednesday, after just three days of trading, several lawsuits had been filed against Facebook complaining about the adequacy of its prospectus disclosure. However, at least so far, there is no indication that anything is wrong with that prospectus. It is true that much has been made (including by me) of reported changes made by certain research analysts in their estimates of future performance. Let's come back to that after we look at the facts on the prospectus. Read the rest of this post on the original site »

text: SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) said today that it has reached an agreement with a diverse group of consumer and other organizations to enhance its proposed "Green Option" to give electric customers an opportunity to support 100 percent renewable energy. The revised proposal, which has been submitted for approval by the California Public Utilities Commission, would provide participating customers with energy from new small- and mid-sized solar projects located in PG&E's service area. PG&E's original proposal, issued last year with widespread support from elected officials and the environmental community, provided customers with an option to buy renewable energy certificates from new and existing projects, including those outside PG&E's service area. The new proposal would allow customers to directly support the development of new projects that generate clean energy in and around the communities that PG&E serves. "We are pleased to have worked with a wide variety of organizations to fashion an enhanced option for our customers," said Helen Burt, Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer of PG&E. "PG&E is already one of the largest suppliers of renewable energy in the country. Our proposed new program will enable our customers to voluntarily support additional clean energy projects in communities across Northern and Central California." PG&E worked closely with The Utility Reform Network (TURN), Coalition of California Utility Employees, the Black Economic Council, National Asian American Coalition, Latino Business Chamber of Greater L.A., and other parties to shape this program. Said Matthew Freedman, Staff Attorney with TURN, "This new program will provide a meaningful opportunity for PG&E customers to link their energy usage to the development of new local renewable energy projects. Every customer subscription will help PG&E to exceed state clean energy requirements and accelerate California's transition away from fossil fuels." (See also other statements of support below.) Under the new plan, participants will pay the full cost of the new renewable energy supplies built in direct response to their enrollment. Those additional supplies—provided under long-term contracts by third-party developers—will be incremental to the clean energy that PG&E already purchases for all of its customers. Participating customers will also receive credits for avoided PG&E generation costs, making the program more affordable. PG&E will actively market the plan throughout its service area, including low-income and minority communities.

Fortunately I managed the situation well, none of them were able to bite those 3 times. For this kind of thing, my reflexes and guarding up are strong areas.
All of the above I agree.

If these were real fights, I'm with selzer, you need to not have these dogs together for awhile.
But continue to take the dogs OUT OF THE HOUSE separately and deal with 'socialization' and training in general. Putting you more in the picture so at least your dog looks to you BEFORE reacting to join the fight. I know my girls know they are NOT allowed to start anything. They also trust and know that I am there and will step in to deal with the situation.
If they did NOT trust/know I was going to deal with it. Or if they did not have the huge back history of meeting tons of dogs in my presence to KNOW what I expect of them (they don't have to love all dogs. they DO have to be 'polite' when around other dogs). This takes weeks/months/years of ME taking my dogs out and about and exposing them to other dogs so they know what's what.
I do NOT intentionally put them in a situation where they will get hurt. I also do not keep my dogs with other dogs I do not trust. My dogs. My responsibility. They take care of the little things and know to throw out all those 'calming signals'. I take care of the big things like NOT keeping them around other dogs I don't trust.
If this was actually a fight, and not play, if there was any blood, then you need to do more than separate them for a minute. Sometimes a dog's adrenalin can be up for days after a fight. So it would have probably been best to separate them completely until the owners could pick them up.
We may like the idea of dogs running and playing together. But some dogs just do not mix well, and it is better in those cases to keep them safe, especially if they are not ours.
Mistakes or right thing?
I felt like I made many mistakes today. Lobo's owner is out brought him to my place. She's out right now 9/1/14. Already looking after a GS/husky mix (Bailey) who is a 1-year-old, wild pup. Also have Riley my lovely companion. For a lot of the time Bailey and Lobo we're getting along fine, drinking water together, playing, kissing, sleeping together. although there were a few fights. 1st was playing wrestling with Bailey, as Lobo walked over I don't know who started it but a fight came on. Trying to get all dogs to play. Luckily I separated them put Lobo in my room had him stay there for a minute. 2nd fight, a stick happened to be in the garage Lobo brought it out Bailey grabbed the stick Lobo and I followed her to the table. I was going to get the stick to put it away. As Lobo was present, Bailey growled and attacked then a fight but broke it immediately before anything happened. Then nap time since there wasn't much to do, Bailey got on the bed and then Lobo. Could see some whale eyes in Lobo's when annoyed from Baileys barking out of jealousy. Bailey would come over then Lobo seemed to have enough lunged at Bailey. Bailey didn't seem to know that Lobo was lunging at her. I pulled Lobo back and pushed Bailey off the bed. Then all 3 dogs laid down on by the bed. Think some of these problems were out of jealousy and possession. Got up kept Lobo in my room brought Bailey home, texted Lobo's owner what happened briefly.
I'm happy to take critism, my mistakes won't have Lobo over here around other dogs again. Things have changed I chose to cut down more on Lobo, that obsession made me realize my mistakes.

text: Is arbitration binding? Under §718.1255, arbitration is not binding unless the parties agree to be bound by the decision or a party fails to seek a trial de novo within 30 days of the arbitrators ruling. Trial de novo is a fancy way of saying new trial. In essence, the parties go before a trial court as if the arbitration had never happened, filing a complaint, responding to it, seeking discovery, and then resolving the case through motion practice or a trial. Are arbitration rulings binding on Courts? No and yes. In a trial de novo setting, the decision of the arbitrator is not binding. In Davis v. Condo. Ass'n of Plaza Towers South, Inc. a dispute arose between the owner and the association involving an air conditioner installed by the owner. After non-binding arbitration and a request by the owner for a trial de novo, the trial court granted the association's motion for summary judgment based on the arbitrator's findings. The Appellate Court reversed holding that while the arbitrator's decision was admissible in the Trial Court proceeding, it could not be used to bind the Trial Court in making a decision. In other words, the issues of fact resolved by the arbitrator still needed to be resolved by the Trial Court as part of the case. and summary judgment could not be granted solely because the arbitrator had had otherwise. After the time for a trial de novo has lapsed, yes. Remember, if no one has sought a trial de novo, the arbitrator's decision becomes binding. At that point, if there is a filing for enforcement and the party fighting enforcement tries to argue the merits of the case, the Trial Court can do nothing to change the ruling. It must simply proceed with enforcement. How is an arbitration award enforced? A party may seek to enforce an arbitration award once it is issued. This is done by filing a petition in court. The court however cannot grant the petition until such time as the time for a trial de novo has expired without such a request being made. Once granted, the failure of the losing party to comply with the award could result in a finding of contempt of court and sanctions against the party.

Olympic Dam gets a cheer squad
Page Tools
South Australia is banking on a $4 billion expansion of WMC's Olympic Dam copper/uranium/gold mine by the end of the decade to plug the hole left in the state's economy by Mitsubishi's contraction.
WMC played its part by joining in a celebration yesterday of the fact that its board had recently approved $48 million more to be spent on a two-year study of the mine's expansion potential.
While the Rann Government seized on the news as a potential bonanza for the state, the truth was that the study has been under way for 18 months. WMC was nevertheless happy to gain the Government's "full support" for the expansion study.
It is also a good time to promote an ability to more than double Olympic Dam's output as the China-led boom in demand for commodities has underpinned a strong rise in copper prices. A continuing rundown in the world inventory of uranium has also fuelled strong gains for the material, with prices up from $US10 a pound to more than $US17 ($24) a pound in the past 18 months.
WMC managing director Andrew Michelmore said in Adelaide the expenditure would give the company the "facts and figures we need" to arrive at a single life-of-mine plan for the Olympic Dam deposit.
"We would not be doing this if we didn't believe it was a positive and viable thing to do," he said.
Olympic Dam is the world's eighth-largest copper ore body and the biggest deposit of uranium oxide. Annual capacity is now rated at 235,000 tonnes of copper, 4500 tonnes of uranium and 100,000 ounces of gold - levels it is capable of supporting for the next 200 years.
WMC and a previous partner, BP, spent more than $4 billion getting to those levels, knowing that extracting full value from the deposit would come only when its annual production levels better matched the deposit's capability.
"When we compare it with ore bodies around the world, it is effectively underdeveloped," Mr Michelmore said.
WMC closed 4c higher yesterday at $4.44.


text: Some state lawmakers from the mid-coast aren't happy with the LePage administration.They claim they were barred from holding a labor-related event in a state facility. The Rockland Career Center is open to everyone. " It's a public building, it's paid for the people of the State of Maine," said Representative Ed Mazurek, from Rockland. Representative Andrew O'Brien from Lincolnville says he's been denied access by the LePage administration. O'Brien is out of town, so fellow lawmakers are speaking out for him. " The letter was asking the governor to come and take a tour of and meet some of the people who are seeking jobs to hear their side of what they're going through," said Representative Joan Welsh of Camden. The statement, O'Brien says he received an email from a Department of Labor staff member saying the commissioner's office decided not to grant his request to use the career center for an unemployment meeting because of concerns about the limited amount of space available in the center. Other state representatives say the governor did not respond to O'Brien and they want answers. " What's the straight scoop? If the governor knows then he should tell the people, tell the representatives," said Mazurek. Adam Fisher, spokesman for the Maine Department of Labor says the meeting request was denied due to logistics, not politics. He says O'Brien wanted to host an event that was simply too big for the center. Fisher tells TV 5 they suggested lawmakers move the event to a school or other town building. " Why hold it at a McDonald's when you have a career center that's designed for the job," said Mazurek. For now, O'Brien and other lawmakers say they'll continue to do what they can to tackle unemployment. The Department of Labor encourages that, saying representatives are more than welcome to spend time at career centers.
