GSA and SBA Sign New 8(a) Contracting Agreement
June 22, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - The General Services Administration and Small Business Administration have entered into a partnership agreement to assist Federal agencies boost the SBA's 8(a) program through use of the GSA Federal Supply Service schedules program.
Under the new agreement agencies will be allowed to count toward their 8(a) procurement goals purchases made from the GSA schedules. Prior to this, purchases made from the schedules from companies in the 8(a) program could be considered 8(a) procurements only if the SBA had accepted the particular schedule into the 8(a) program. The new agreement covers all schedules.
"We are pleased to expand the opportunities to the federal marketplace with this new agreement," said Associate Administrator Jackie Robinson, of the GSA Office of Enterprise Development. "We encourage 8(a) contractors to consider participating in the schedules program as a means to increase their sales."
In FY2000 over $10 billion in purchases were made using the GSA schedules. Purchases from companies that have SBA 8(a) status are expected to increase under the new agreement. Unlike traditional 8(a) program awards, GSA schedules will continue to be a competitive, non-set aside award method.
For more information contact the GSA Office of Enterprise Development at (202) 501-1021.

Obama Says Goodbye to Mandela
President Obama celebrated Nelson Mandela as the "last great liberator of the 20th century" Tuesday before a cheering crowd and host of world leaders who gathered in a soccer stadium in Soweto to pay tribute to the former freedom fighter and first black president of South Africa.
Describing the "great soul" of a man who conquered apartheid and became a "giant of history" by peacefully ushering in the country's first era of biracial government, Obama said, "It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailor as well."
Amid an unrivalled collection of the world's most powerful leaders, Obama shook hands with Cuban president Raúl Castro and kissed Dilma Rousseff, the Brazilian president, before taking to the stage to give one of the day's most rapturously received eulogies, five days after the death of Mandela, who is known affectionately as Madiba.
Obama said it was not enough to merely celebrate the life of a great man, he called on those leaders sitting alongside him and millions more people watching on television to take inspiration from Mandela's achievements. "We, too, must act on behalf of justice. We, too, must act on behalf of peace. There are too many of us who happily embrace Madiba's legacy of racial reconciliation, but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality," he said. "When the night grows dark, when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts, or our best laid plans seem beyond our reach, think of Madiba."

Go is an ancient Asian strategy game that is popular in Japan, China, and Korea with enthusiasts throughout the world. Japanese call it Go or Igo, Koreans call it Baduk, and the Chinese call it Weiqi.
Go's few rules can be demonstrated quickly and grasped easily. It is enjoyably played over a wide range of skills. Each level of play has its charms, rewards, and discoveries. A unique and reliable handicapping system leads to equal contests between players of widely disparate strengths. Go is uniquely flexible and rewards patience and balance over aggression and greed. An early mistake can be made up, used to advantage or reversed as the game proceeds. There is no simple procedure to turn a clear lead into a victory.
Go thinking seems to be more lateral than linear, less dependent on logical deduction, and more reliant on a "feel" for the game, a "sense" of form, a gestalt of significant patterns.
Beyond being merely a game, Go can take on other meanings to enthusiasts; an analogy with life, an intense meditation, a mirror of one's personality, an exercise in abstract reasoning, or, when played well, a beautiful art in which Black and White dance across the board in delicate balance.
But most important for all who play, go is challenging and fun.

Amanda Bynes cops a plea in DUI case, avoids jail
(Yahoo!) - 2014 is looking like it could be Amanda Bynes's year.
The former Nickelodeon star will not go to jail stemming from her DUI arrest, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office tells Yahoo.
Bynes, 27, has pleaded no contest to one count of "wet reckless," a less serious charge than the DUI originally filed against the actress after a collision with a West Hollywood patrol car in April 2012.
In exchange for the plea — which was entered by her attorney on her behalf — Amanda was sentenced to three years probation and a three-month alcohol education class.
"Wet reckless" is one of the lowest offenses prosecutors can allow a suspect to plea in a DUI case.
Last year, Bynes entered a psychiatric treatment facility following a string of run-ins with the law. She was released from an inpatient treatment facility in December. Amanda's mother, Lynn, was granted conservatorship of the actress turned student.
Bynes has been attending college classes in design at FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in Irvine, California.
Just last week, Amanda's attorney told People that she was "doing great."
Looks like her road to recovery is going well!

PHOTO: Miley Cyrus makes out with man dressed as giant baby
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus likes making with dolls, unicorns, and now a man dressed like a giant baby.
A photo has been making its way around the internet of the twerk queen lip locking - and spit-swapping a la tounge - with someone dressed like a giant baby.
The man in question was wearing a bib and giant baby head, and Miley is clearly still wearing her engagement ring. When and where the photo was taken has yet to be determined. Check it out:

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Late last year, I was invited by Raoul Illyés, a SQL Server MVP from Denmark, to present a precon at the 2013 edition of SQLRally Nordic. I agreed and decided to skip the US PASS Summit this year and instead visit an area of Europe I've never seen before. A bonus came a while later when I learned that there is another SQLRally in Europe that same week: SQLRally Amsterdam. Things worked out in just the right way and today I'm happy to announce that I'll be speaking at both events, back-to-back. Should be quite a week!
SQLRally Nordic will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, November 4-6.
SQLRally Amsterdam will be in Amsterdam, naturally. November 6-8.
Yes, there is a one-day overlap between these two events, and I'll have to leave Sweden a day early to deliver my seminar in Amsterdam. First world problems.
At both events I'll be delivering my popular No More Guessing! seminar, which teaches a solid and proven performance troubleshooting methodology. I'll be adding some new content and refining some things; watch this space in the coming weeks and months for an updated outline and some information on the newer material.
Both events are now open for early registration, and both events have an open call for speakers. If you're in Europe, or would like to visit, I highly recommend taking advantage of one or both of these options!
Look forward to meeting many of you at these events. See you in November!

Marshall FaulkFootball PlayerCarver HS/San Diego State/NFLInducted: 2011Marshall Faulk was such a talented and versatile athlete growing up in New Orleans that seemingly every coach had a spot for him. He ran track, played baseball and basketball, but football was where he stood out the most. Though as a senior he would play quarterback, tight end, receiver, cornerback and even kicker, it was running back where Faulk was destined to become a legend.In his final two seasons at Carver High, Faulk rushed for 1,800 yards and scored 32 touchdowns. Though he was pursued by bigger programs such as LSU, Nebraska, Miami, and Texas A&M, Faulk chose San Diego State as his college because the Aztecs promised him the best opportunity to develop as a running back.Faulk went on to become one of the most productive running backs in NCAA and NFL history. In just his second collegiate game he gained 386 yards and scored six touchdowns. During his four-year career with the Aztecs he set numerous school records, including the one for career touchdowns (62).After being selected No. 2 overall in the 1994 NFL Draft, Faulk went on to play five seasons for the Indianapolis Colts and seven for the St. Louis Rams. A seven-time Pro Bowl selection and a three-time first-team All-Pro selection, he had seven 1,000-yard rushing seasons and gained more than 2,000 yards in total offense in four seasons. Faulk scored 136 touchdowns (100 rushing, 36 receiving) in his career. He is the only player in NFL history to accumulate 12,000 rushing yards and 6,000 receiving yards. His 19,172 all-purpose yards ranks sixth all-time in NFL history. He will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame later this summer.Faulk's speed, quickness, and vision were obvious attributes that helped make him a special player, but less obvious to the naked eye was his intelligence and studious approach to the game. He was respected for his detailed note-taking in team meetings and was known to chastise teammates who didn't do the same.Opponents also noticed the cerebral element to Faulk's game. Former Giants All-Pro defensive end Michael Strahan, who played 15 seasons, said he saw Faulk do something he had never seen before from a running back."He was a coach out there," Strahan said. "I'd look across the line at Faulk, and he'd be standing in the backfield, directing traffic. He's making adjustments in their protection, he's getting the players lined up properly, he's telling (QB) Kurt (Warner) what to look out for."I've never seen a running back do that -- take over the offense and get everyone in place before the snap. Marshall was an amazing player in every way." Growing up in the Desire Housing Project, Faulk (pictured right with Sugar Bowl President Lance Africk) was surrounded by dangers that easily could have diverted him from the path that took to him to football immortality. But Marshall Faulk was too smart and too talented to allow that to happen."There are people who grew up in rough environments, and you just don't hear about it, and they make it in business," Faulk once said. "I don't think that makes me what I am. What makes me what I am is that you have success, but you keep your head on straight and you make the right decisions in life."

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by maxdallasfan, Oct 12, 2012.
I never said you NEED great crowd to win.
As a die hard soccer fan, i have to tell you that some "soccer" (I hate calling it soccer, its football ) hooligans riot or fight for other things unrelated to football, for example politics. I dont like hooligan culture, i dont approve violence in sports, but i do love the other things football fans do like the chants, flags and colors they put into the stadium.
I think it might also have to do that sports in USA are too much of a business and people are very aware of that, such thing doesnt happen with "soccer" in most countries and fans are very into in the team. This is happening less and less since most big clubs are being bought by rich oil arabs or chinese investors.
Anyways, about what Troy said. I never been to a Cowboys of NFL game, so can only speak from what i see on TV or read and Cowboys Stadium can be very very silent.
I called it soccer to avoid confusion. I know it's the original football. The game I went to they were even setting off fireworks IN THE STANDS. No little firecrackers, either. I'm talking major smoke and colorful explosions in the sky and a resounding "BOOM!" And yes, the chants are sometimes Hi-larious!
Really? People who would fight for their team are stupid...borderline ********...in fact, I'm not even sure I'd issue these same people a license to operate heavy machinery. Point blank.
Are you serious? Did you just refer to the lack of willingness to fight for ones team as a problem? Is this a joke?
I think this get's blown out of proportion due to that huge post season home win they had a few years ago against the Saints. If you look at their actual regular season record it's not near as "huge" an advantage as people make it out to be. I think they're either .500 or barely above it at home over the last 3 regular seasons.
I agree with this. People seem to think that a huge home field advantage contributes to a team being successful more than it actually does. I think it's actually more the other way around: when a team plays well at home their fans will get more into the game, as opposed to thinking a team will play well at home because their fans are into the game. Now, I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, but I just think it gets blown out of proportion.
"Lets T-A-N-K !!!!!! No hope for this year. 1st pick is better than 10th pick and 3 more wins."
Your opinion no longer matters.
The key though is to look at the home/road splits. They've had average records at home because they've been below average or just plain bad the past few years. Their home crowd definitely gives them an advantage.
2011: 4-4 at home; 3-5 on the road
2010: 5-3 at home; 2-6 on the road
2009: 4-4 at home; 1-7 on the road.
No reason to blame the failure of the team on the fans but our home crowds are embarrassing.
Sure sir, whatever you say. If we win SuperBowl i will be happy to eat my words.
I'm just saying that the whole idea seems to be getting blown out of proportion on this board in general. There's been a number of threads about it over the last few weeks and it's just beating a dead horse at this point. Also, you have to consider that a team like Seattle plays in what's been an overall weak division for a number of years, and 3/8 of their home games are against those division teams.
I do agree that some teams definitely have more passionate, raucous home crowds than others, however I stand by my earlier statement that most home crowds get into a game because their team plays wells, as opposed to thinking that the team plays well because their crowd is into the game.
"Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in the world!"
So what? The Black Eyed Peas sold millions of albums and they still suck. Soccer is popular because all you need to play it is a rectangle of dirt and one ball. Most of the world is dirt poor so this is what they are into. Good for them and all that, I guess.
Clearly Aikman was implying the reason the Cowboys haven't won Superbowls recently is because of the fans. [/sarcasm]
#TheRat (just in case you have tunnel vision and can't see my handle on the side of your screen)
Ever been to an NFL game in New Orleans? Houston? Nashville? A college football game pretty much anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon?
You're going to have to do better than that.
There are high school games in Texas that are absolutely nuts!
Some of you are more sensitive than women.
What exactly did Aikman say that we all didnt already know? We do have a weak home crowd. Is it the reason we suck? No of course not, it only exacerbates the situation.
I think we can all agree a homefield advantage can be useful in certain situations.
I would like actually having a home field advantage. Playing in front of your fans should help you.
This! And I grew up in DFW so I have seen both sides...

GSA Provides Government Internet Information Service
September 11, 1996
Contact: Bill Bearden
(202) 501-1231
Internet: firstname.lastname@example.com
As part of its ongoing effort to provide enhanced services to the citizens, Acting Administrator David J. Barram, announced today that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is launching a unique government Internet service that will make it easier for everyone, everywhere to access and search for government information on the Internet.
GIX, which is short for Government Information Exchange, is an operational prototype, top-level home page developed by the Office of Network Applications of GSA's Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS). GIX is available on the Internet now and can be accessed at URL: http://www.info.gov .
"This new service will provide a seamless government information network on the Internet that is easy for the American public to access and use," Barram said. "It will provide a convenient entry point for the public to find local, state, federal, and foreign government information."
Greg Woods of Vice President Gore's National Performance Review said that GIX has already helped improve government's service to the public by hosting the President's Customer Service web site. He explained that the Customer Service page showcases federal agencies that have committed to making significant improvements in their service to the public. "Customers of these agencies can even use the Internet to comment on the services they have received," Woods explained. "All levels of government can use GIX the same way, to put ideas in front of the public. This gives us a great tool for reinventing government."
"The addition of GIX will move the government one step closer to being able to provide to citizens one-stop shopping for government services," said Robert Woods, GSA's FTS Commissioner, who has been an advocate of this NPR effort.
Ron Piasecki, Assistant Commissioner for Network Applications said that he hopes GIX will facilitate information and resource sharing among the various levels of government to better serve the needs of the American public.
Piasecki credited Henry Lai, who heads the Center for Emerging Technologies, and his dedicated staff for hatching the idea of GIX and making it a reality.
Lai, who also heads other information technology initiatives with the states of Iowa, Arizona and Nebraska, said that he hopes GIX will serve as a catalyst for local, state, and federal governments to work together to define how the government as a whole can better and more seamlessly present information and resources on the Internet.
Using current information technologies, GIX is moving information sharing efforts to the forefront and provides a virtual roadmap to a vast array of government information in a user-friendly platform. GIX pointers will link everyone, everywhere to a ready reference resource for searching and locating desired information.

I beg to differ. I have a early 2008 24" iMac (2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB Ram) and when I upgraded to Lion it slowed my computer down. I had the spinning beach ball all the time when opening simple applications. It lagged soo bad I then decided to do a clean install. It seemed quick at first but after a few days it was the same thing....sloooooowwwwwwwww!! I got fed up so I used time machine to restore back to snow leopard. So much quicker now...I even asked apple for a refund and got it, so everything is aaaaokayyy!
Lion is slower than SL for me. The boot time increased on Lion about 10-15 seconds more. I have a late 2010 MBP.
However, I love the gesture controls. I can't live without them. Was on a SL machine the other day and never noticed how much I used gestures until then lol. I love Lion, that's for sure.
(And please, nobody attack me on that last statement. I'm not out to hate on windows and windows lovers, I'm just saying that's one thing I couldn't stand when I used to own a windows-based device)
Btw, who ever completely shuts down an mbp anyway?
The touch gestures were awkward at first, but they're hard to live without these days... I use gotomypc and it's frustratingly slow to work in a PC that accepts none of the Mac gestures.
Lol I shut it down once in a while. I also usually just put it to sleep by closing it. But I had a scare once when I first got my MBP. Never once shut it down and one day it just wouldn't turn on. It was full charge when I left it the night before. Eventually it turned on after being plugged in for 5 minutes. Read around online and turns out it happens sometimes when you don't shut it down once in a while so I do it like once a week just to be safe.

hi guys im new the site and i have a question just got in to bow hunting this past year . when u i shoot my bow its silence most of the time but once in awhile i get like a bong sound hard to explain with some vibration. is it me not being consistent form or is this the bow . i'am shooting a rampage xt, 65 lbs hha sights, 418 gr arrows, 29in draw. its got string stop, limsaver and i think there called leaches on the strings. is there anything else i can do to quite it down more . thanks for any info .
to 3d shoots.
First thing I would look at is the string stopper, they will cause some noise if spacing isn't right. Should be just able to fit a credit card between the string and stopper. Next take a real close look at the bow and see if anything is starting to loosen up. Witha loose grip on the bow, start at the top of the bow and start hitting it with the palm of your hand and work your way down, if there is something loose or vibrating that will help pin point the problem.
Let us know what you find.

Read data from virtual world to Simulink model
Simulink® 3D Animation™
The VR Source provides access to virtual world fields, as chosen in the Block Parameters dialog box as input signals during simulation.
The VR Source block supports several activities. For example, use the VR Source block to:
Provide interactivity between a user navigating the virtual world and the Simulink model. The VR Source block can register user interaction with the virtual world. The block can pass to the model those values which then can affect the simulation of the model.
Read into the model events from the virtual world, such as time ticks or outputs from scripts.
Read into the model static information about the virtual world (for example, the size of a box defined in the virtual world 3D file).
Access values of 3D object nodes that are not driven by simulation, but whose monitoring is essential.
For an example of how to use the VR Source block, see the
the Setpoint subsystem in the
vrcrane_panel example.
The current internal viewer window (
You cannot use the Simulink Coder™ software to compile a model that includes a VR Source block.
A VR Source block outputs signals of type double.
Source file — Virtual world 3D file name specifying the virtual world that connects to this block. By default, the full path to the associated virtual world 3D file appears in this text box. If you enter only the file name in this box, the software assumes that the virtual world 3D file resides in the same folder as the model file. You can specify a VRML file or an X3D file.
Click the New to open an empty default virtual world editor. When you either enter a source file name or use the Browse button, the New button becomes an Edit button.
Click the Edit button to launch the default virtual world editor with the source file open.
Click the View button to view the world in the Simulink 3D Animation Viewer or a Web browser.
Click the Reload button reloads the world after you change it.
Open Viewer automatically — If you select this check box, the default virtual world viewer displays the virtual world after loading the Simulink model.
Allow viewing from the Internet —
If you select this check box, the virtual world is accessible for
viewing on a client computer. If you do not select this check box,
the world is visible only on the host computer. This parameter is
equivalent to the
RemoteView property of a
vrworld object.
Description — Description that is
displayed in all virtual reality object listings, in the title bar
of the Simulink 3D Animation Viewer, and in the list of virtual
worlds on the Simulink 3D Animation HTML page. This parameter is
equivalent to the
Description property of a
vrworld object.
Sample time — Enter the sample time
-1 for inherited sample time.
Note To achieve a smooth simulation, MathWorks® recommends that you explicitly set the Sample time parameter. You can change the value of this parameter to achieve the specific visual experience you want.
Allow variable-size output signals — Specify the type of signals allowed out of this port.
By default, the VR Source block does not allow variable-size signals. If you enable this parameter, then the VR Source block allows variable-size signals for fields that can change dimensions during simulation. These fields include MFxxx fields that can have a variable number of elements (typically, MFFloat or MFVec3f). The SFImage is the only SFxxx field that can map to a variable-size signal. For details about these data types, see Field Data Types.
Note: The signal dimensions of a variable-size output signal of a VR Source block must be the same size as, or smaller than, the initial state of the signal.
Virtual World Tree — This box shows the structure of the virtual world 3D file and the virtual world itself.
Nodes that have names are marked with red arrows. You can access them from the MATLAB® interface. Nodes without names, but whose children are named, are also marked with red arrows. This marking scheme makes it possible for you to find all accessible nodes by traversing the tree using arrows. Other nodes have a blue dot before their names.
Fields with readable values have check boxes. Use these check boxes to select the fields that you want the Simulink software to monitor and to use to input values. For each field that you select in the Virtual World Tree box, Simulink creates an output port in the VR Source block. Simulink creates the output ports in the same order as the selected fields appear in the virtual world 3D file.
Fields whose values cannot be read (because their parent nodes do not have names, or because their values cannot be imported to Simulink) have an X-shaped icon.
Show node types — If you select this check box, node types are shown in the virtual scene tree.
Show field types — If you select this check box, field types are shown in the virtual scene tree.

B. Smyth's Favorite Things
Listen to B. Smyth on iHeartRadio
Up and coming R&B artist B. Smyth got his start the way a lot of new musicians have these days: by uploading videos to YouTube. The Florida-based singer made waves with his impressive covers of Frank Ocean and Miguel, to name a couple, and eventually got the attention of hip hop blogs and major record labels.
Smyth went on to sign with Motown, and now his debut, "Leggo" ft. 2 Chainz is nearing 2 million views on YouTube.
Get to know the talented 19-year-old singer/dancer by discovering some of his favorite things!
Favorite dance move:
"There's one where I do a little spin and I act like I'm falling, but get back up... it's pretty cool. Or I just do the cabbage patch."
Favorite song:
"'The Only Exception' by Paramore. It's a nice song. Haley Williams is a great vocalist."
Favorite rappers:
"2 Chainz, Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, Future..."
Favorite thing about Ft. Lauderdale:
"We are as real as it gets - shout out to Lauderdale! We're not in your face but we'll let you know that what you see is what you get, basically. We're not really pretenders, you know, we don't put on a façade. What you see is what you get."
Favorite cover he's done:
"Miguel 'Sure Thing,' because it pretty much jump-started my career."
Favorite YouTube video:
"My favorite YouTube video is probably 'Smooth Criminal' by Michael Jackson. When I'm up late - because I barely get sleep - sometimes I'll be in my bed just looking at the walls. I just go to YouTube and watch that video or just watch anything."
Favorite moment with a fan:
"I have a song called 'Snap Back.' and at the end of the song I say, 'Do you want to wear my hat?' to the crowd and I throw it. I remember there was a time when I would throw my hat and nobody would care, like, 'Oh it's just a hat on the floor.' But now I throw it and it's like, 'Oh my god let me get the hat!' They fight over it and I think that's really cool to see how things change."
Favorite TV show:
"One of my favorite TV shows is 'That 70s Show.' It's the bomb. After school, I think they would play it on ABC Family like two times and every time I would be home just in time to catch it. That's one of my favorite shows."
Favorite dream:
"Once I decided I was going to do music I would think about it all the time. I would dream about it. I would always have this one dream where I would get into a car, it would be a raggedy car and I would be driving, and all of a sudden it would transform into like a Ferrari and the road would transform into really bright lights and you'd see my name in the lights and now... I don't have a Ferrari yet, but you know."

You see, gone are the days when a supernatural dramas like Lost or its rip-offs Alcatraz, Invasion, or The River dominated TV.
My guess is that in the final moments of the season the supernatural elements of the show will recede.
On TripAdvisor, visitors gush about the tour and the supernatural experiences encountered during their stay.
The destruction of this divine refuge counts as inevitable, for all the heroism and supernatural abilities of its inhabitants.
Many of my soldiers began to treat bracelets, pictures, bibles and video games as if they had supernatural powers.
It is no concern of ours to explain the phenomenon that followed, or to tone down its supernatural elements.
This garment had so dazzled the eyes of the Indians, that they had appropriated it to themselves as of supernatural splendor.
And consequently they were thought to be of a supernatural origin and eternal duration.
This argument comes up: 'You have only the natural powers; I have supernatural.
And the new machines that make all impossibilities come to pass inspire a significant class of supernatural stories.

Christine Quinn, New York's recently married City Council Speaker, has announced this morning that she's running for mayor. If elected, Quinn would become the city's first female AND openly gay mayor, and would prove that Michael Bloomberg isn't the Augustan tyrant we've all secretly suspected him to be.
Quinn's campaign video emphasizes that she grew up in a "typical, middle class household," which may not sound like an especially inventive biographical detail for someone running for political officer until one considers that Michael Bloomberg is one of the richest humans on the planet. An affable "middle class" mayor might be a nice change for New York, especially if Quinn plans on doing something about the subterranean army of Morlocks massing under the streets of Manhattan, waiting for their opportunity to strike...

I thought it was not worth my while to enter as the champion of Miss Oldcastle's sanity.
In the end Oldcastle was burnt for an obstinate heretic (Dec. 1417).
It would be an amazing mare that galloped to the top of Oldcastle Street!
In one Oldcastle had been condemned to death; in both, money was granted.
Opposite Miss Oldcastle's bedroom was another, seldom used, the door of which was now standing open.
In Oldcastle an organist is an organist, recognized as such in the streets.
I have sometimes wondered if Mrs. Oldcastle had any deliberate purpose in this conversation.
He walked in the dark nearly to Oldcastle, and returned about six o'clock.
He did not know what he was coming to when he came to Oldcastle Hall.

JR: Hey, I'm JR.
Ken: And I'm Ken. We're here today at the Crutchfield video studios with the Alpine Type-S speakers.
JR: These are affordably priced so you're gonna get quality Alpine sound without breaking the bank.
Ken: Right. They're gonna work well for a lot of different applications. For example, they're high efficiency; they'll sound good even when you've got them hooked up to a low-powered factory system.
JR: And they'll handle plenty of power. For example this six-and-a-half will handle up to 80-watts RMS, or continuous, power. So they work well with an aftermarket stereo or even the power from an external amplifier.
Ken: That's right. That power handling gives you extra headroom so they're going to sound good even when you crank 'em up.
JR: And headroom's good because I like to crank it, and then crank it some more.
Ken: Well, crankability isn't everything. You need good clarity too.
JR: True.
Ken: I like the silk dome tweeter on these models. They give you a nice smooth high that's not tinny. You can listen to them for a long drive and they're not gonna hurt your ears.
JR: And you know the polypropylene-mica woofer is nice. It's lightweight and yet strong so it can be controlled by the amplifier for loud clear sound with really good lows.
Ken: I ought to point out too that it's got a rubber surround around it. The rubber surround will last a long time. It also gives you plenty of cone excursion. Move the air for good sound. Even though you're moving the cone a lot this is a pretty shallow speaker, and that's good. You know, a lot of cars these days have really confined spaces for speakers. These are going to fit into a lot of areas that other speakers might not.
JR: Smart. So to find out which Alpine Type-S speakers will fit your car, go to crutchfield.com/whatfits
Ken: Or give one of our expert advisors a call. They'll be happy to help. You can get them at 1-800-555-9408.

finally got some fun waves here on the gulf too
Attachment 8957Attachment 8958
Saturday got to water 7 AM, nuthin (knew it was wishful thinking with outgoing tide anyway). Ran errands went back later.
Almost two hours of consistent stomach high+ fun sets. With a buddy, catching a bunch of waves, talking about the football games to come that day, slight chill in the air.
I do love the fall.
Got a couple of hours of clean waist high surf today, and am working late to make up for it. Definitely sharks mixed in with the other fishies. Mostly of the four foot spinner variety. I took the shortboard out to get my pop ups ready for when it gets big ( tomorrow is October so it is only a matter of a week or so). Too many sessions on the log gets you slow to your feet when you have to switch to the shortie. How does that 6'4" Kechle work? I had a stump fish the same size and it worked great on all kinds of waves.
The cool thing about Florida is that you don't have to worry about the water dipping into the 30's.
Saturday was a blast. But the Jellies OMG they were everywhere. One poor dude duck dived and came up under a bunch of them, had welts all over his face, trunk, swollen eyes, ouch. I gave him vinegar to pour on it. It helped.
The finger mullet were everywhere, even jumped on the long board. Some guy pulled one out of his pocket. It was like wild kingdom out there!
got some decent waves this past weekend. i guess my fall is off to a good start. forecast doesn't look too good for the rest of this week though. i think i'll just go on a week long bender.

Ribeiro was the son of a treasurer in the household of the Duke de Viseu. He studied law at the university in Lisbon between 1507 and 1512. Later he frequented the court of King Manuel I, where, according to tradition, he fell in love with one of the court ladies, who, however, rejected him. Ribeiro probably spent the years 1521–24 in Italy. On his return in 1524, he was appointed secretary to King John III. His last years were clouded by a mental disorder.
Ribeiro also wrote the chivalric and pastoral romance Livro das Saudadessaudades (1554–57; "Book of Yearnings"). This prose work, better known by its opening words as Menina e Mocamoca ("Child "Childhood and Damsel"Adolescence"), is generally considered a masterpiece of Portuguese literature of the Renaissance. Innovative in its use of prose, Ribeiro's tale established a stylistic tradition that has endured as a major force in Portuguese literature.

Chip Kelly brings Oregon speed to Philly
After Michael Vick kneeled down for the final time, having sapped the life out of the Robert Griffin III welcome back party, the exhausted Philadelphia Eagles offense exchanged the usual pleasantries with the even-more-spent Washington Redskins defense.
"The Redskins were like, `Next time we play you guys, you need to slow it down a bit,'" Eagles center Jason Kelce said.
Good luck with that. RG3 and the Redskins just couldn't keep up with Vick, LeSean McCoy and the frenetic offense unleashed by coach Chip Kelly on the NFL on Monday night. The Eagles crammed 53 plays into a 30-minute first half, took a 26-point lead in the third quarter and held on for a 33-27 upset of the defending NFC East champs.
"You have great dreams and you have nightmares," said Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, describing the first half. "That was a great dream."

Immigrant Advocates Urge Expanded L.A. County Health Program
Credit: Eric Leonard
Some immigrant advocates have asked Los Angeles County Supervisors to expand and fully fund a planned local public health insurance program, so the estimated 1-million residents ineligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act won't be left out.
"I think the American people, particularly folks in Los Angeles County, certainly support expanding health coverage," said Jim Mangia, who runs the St. John Well Child and Family Center, the largest free and low-cost clinic in the County.
People in the U.S. illegally cannot enroll in ACA programs and access to discounts is limited for many legal immigrants.
The non-profit group One L.A. has been pushing the County to expand its plans for the "Health Way L.A. 2.0" program, that's aimed at providing preventive care to those excluded from ACA and other federally-funding programs.
"I think most people believe that health care is a right, not a privilege," Mangia said.

Why We Need a New Investigation of 9/11 NOW!
March 15, 2009
Ray Bock
In his recent TV appearance [reported on at Huffington Post, as reprinted below],
Dick Cheney said "And now he [President Obama] is making some choices that,
in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another
Cheney: Obama Has Raised The Risk Of Attack On America
Dick Cheney, in his first television interview since leaving office, didn't shy away from throwing a few haymakers at his White House successors, saying at one point that Barack Obama's policies had raised the risk of a domestic terrorist attack.
"I do," said the former vice president, when asked if President Obama's policies had made the U.S. less safe. "I think those programs were absolutely essential to the success we enjoyed of being able to collect the intelligence that let us defeat all further attempts to launch attacks against the United States since 9/11. I think that's a great success story. It was done legally. It was done in accordance with our constitutional practices and principles. President Obama campaigned against it all across the country. And now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack."
Speaking to CNN's John King, Cheney was referencing the Obama administration's decision to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, to strictly outlaw torture and define water boarding as such, and to suspend trials for terrorists by military commission. His comments furthered a line of attack he had made against the president in his first post-office interview with Politico.
Cheney's foreign policy critiques didn't end there. He also whacked the president for appointing Christopher Hill as the country's top diplomat in Iraq.
"He is not the man I would have picked for that post," said Cheney
of Hill. "He has none of the skills and talents that Ryan Crocker has."

SpecializationApplied Youth Ministry
Ken is a youth ministry veteran of over 25 years. He has been the youth minister at five churches, run a large youth ministry, and worked in church plants starting from scratch.
Ken was the youth ministry trainer with the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Australia, for four and a half years. During that time, he was involved with training youth leaders for a number of churches.
He is the founder of Youth Surge, Australia. This is a ministry that runs youth gatherings, leadership training events and prints resources for youth leaders (www.youthsurge.com.au).
He has led training workshops trained all over the world including: New Zealand, Malaysia, South Africa, the U.K., Western Europe, and the U.S.A. He has also taught youth ministry at Regent College (Vancouver, B.C.).
His passion is to see a youth ministry that honours God through effective discipleship and evangelism, and his desire is to see strong disciples of Jesus who stay followers for life. These strong young Christians are equipped and able to reach out to their friends for Jesus.
He is a frequent contributor to The Journal of Student Ministries and has written for Youthworker Journal and Youthwork Magazine (UK). He has been a speaker at several of the annual Youth Specialties conferences in the U.S.A.
My research interest is two-fold. First, I am focussing on the connection between longevity in the Christian life and whether there is a connection between entertainment as an evangelistic tool and the lack of longterm Christian commitment among youth. Do youth drop out of the Christian faith because the models and methods we used to attract them (and keep them) were unsustainable and in the end, unhelpful?

I need to check out the keyword ranking in Google.com and through a proxy. I believe you know what is the difference between searching on Google.com and searching through a proxy. Can anyone suggest me a proxy link, through which I can open Google.com and find the keyword ranking precisely.
Appreciate your quick responses...
there are hundreds of web proxies out there. I suggest you try the codediaries free proxies. Search for 'codediaries' in google.
The one that you suggested: "codediaries" is not a proxy at all. I need something that provides accurate US search engine results, the one that I was using is not working now a day, which you can find by Googling "Google Proxy US".
May I am little late to reply in here. I use 'hidemyass' free proxy. Its a great proxy with US,UK and NL servers.
I personally use hidemyass.com and unblocked.org. However i prefer unblocked.org. Both of them serve the purpose quite well.
openproxy (dot) co (uk) is the best free proxy.
Actually, I have used Hidemyass before, but when you check it with a original US proxy, you can find the difference in their results.
Thanks for your suggestion. As mentioned I have already tried Hidemyass, but will have to check out the second option.
You can try proxy4free [dot] com. It is a proxy server list with a lot of free proxy servers.
There are alots of free websites just do search in google, but mostly those proxies will slow or dead. So I've been using this resource to get unlimited proxies monthly in just $2.99
I got one free proxy site that is reliable. Also they have some private proxies that you can also try, and they are also cheap. Try proxy.seoqualityservices.com.
http://www.atproxy.net/ there is a free proxy list.

SAN BERNARDINO - Frustration seethed at a community meeting Wednesday night about panhandling and other recurring crimes, but Police Chief Robert Handy said much of the problem was out of the Police Department's hands.
Nearly 150 people came to the meeting at Arrowhead Country Club, which was called to in response to the slaying of a 76-year-old woman in a usually quiet neighborhood nearby but which focused largely on transients, marijuana dispensaries and other quality-of-life issues.
"We are trying to refocus and pay a little bit more attention to those (types of crimes) because honestly, those are the ones we get complaints on," Handy said, adding he's working on a longer-term fix for aggressive homeless people. "We may not come out immediately, but many of those transients have been arrested more than 50 times. There's no room for them in jail."
That's largely because of Assembly Bill 109, a law that attempts to ease crowded prisons by releasing prisoners whose last crime was nonviolent to county supervision, he said.
Handy recommended reporting crimes when people see them and to take basic precautions like locking their doors and keeping valuables out of sight - and especially to pay attention to neighbors and report suspicious activity - but he discouraged residents from confronting transients or others.
The Police Department has cut down on people answering the main line - 909-383-5311- but anyone dissatisfied with the response could email Handy or Lt. Rich Lawhead directly, he said.
City Attorney James F. Penman also answered many questions, sometimes bluntly.
"I'm going to answer that question, and you're not going to like the answer but you know how I am," Penman said. " People have asked me what should we do? Go home, lock your doors, and load your gun."
Similarly, the city couldn't shut down marijuana dispensaries until the California Supreme Court decides whether they're legal, Penman said.
"Believe me, we want to," he said, but in the meantime the city is essentially limited to fining the dispensaries $1,000 a day and waiting.
While some questions were sharp, most residents said they were grateful for the meeting and the police.
"I have not had any problems when I contact the Police Department," said Judy Standley.
She said she lives across the street and had contacted the department three times in the last five days with information about the Nov. 14 homicide and vagrants.
The meeting was hosted by Councilwoman Wendy McCammack. Councilmen Fred Shorett, Chas Kelley and John Valdivida also attended.

Citing new evidence that hurt their case, prosecutors dropped a murder charge Friday against a Woodland Hills tennis official accused of killing her husband but said they will continue investigating.
That leaves open the possibility that Lois Goodman, 70, could be charged again. But she and her attorney greeted the dismissal with relief and said they believed the prosecution was over.
"I feel I'm being treated fairly now. It was just a terrible accident," Goodman said outside court.
Defense attorney Alison Triessl said she believed private polygraph tests conducted by a former FBI polygraph examiner were pivotal in proving that Goodman did not kill her husband.
"We're elated," Triessl said. "This has been a living hell for her. Justice has been served. She did not do this."
Goodman was arrested in August in the April death of Alan Goodman, 80.
After her arrest, police and prosecutors said Lois Goodman bludgeoned her husband with a coffee mug, then staged the death as an accident.
They offered as a motive the notes she exchanged with another man, which suggested she was preparing to leave her husband.
Her attorneys said Los Angeles police detectives botched the case and compromised evidence, not fully searching the couple's home until four days after the death.
Lois Goodman had been free since posting bail Sept. 2, having spent more than a week in jail.
In a statement, a spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office said a judge dismissed the charge "without prejudice," which means it can be refiled.
"We received additional information regarding the case," spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said. "Based upon this information, we announced that we are unable to proceed with the case at this time."
Prosecutors would not detail that evidence or answer any questions about the case, citing the continuing investigation.
Goodman called 911 to report her husband's death on April 17, telling police she'd found him in their bed. She suggested he must have had a heart attack and fallen down the stairs, then struggled up to their bedroom before dying.
Given the lack of forced entry to the house and Alan Goodman's age, a coroner approved the release of the body to a mortuary.
On April 20, three days after he died, a coroner's investigator went to Heritage Crematory and found his body had lacerations to the head and three cuts to his right ear, "deep penetrating, blunt force trauma" that police later said suggested a homicide.
The body was taken from the crematory to the coroner's office.
The next day, April 21, police served a search warrant at the Goodmans' home and found a trail of blood stains that stretched over all three floors of the house, according to the police affidavit.
Police said Lois Goodman's account didn't match the physical evidence. They said an autopsy showed injuries that couldn't have come from a fall.
And if Alan Goodman had really fallen, yet been able to make his way to the couple's third-floor bedroom, he likely would have called for help from one of the phones he passed on the way, police said.
But defense private investigator Scott Ross told The Associated Press that famed pathologist Dr. Michael Baden examined the coroner's evidence in the case and found that Alan Goodman died of a heart attack, not from any injuries.
"His heart was four times the normal size," Ross said.
Two printouts of emails and a handwritten note found in the home suggested Lois Goodman was talking to a man online, an LAPD detective said in a court affidavit.
"The content of the email suggests that Lois was terminating a relationship and that alternate sleeping arrangements should be made in Los Angeles as well as in the desert," Detective Jeffrey Briscoe wrote.
The coroner ruled the death a homicide Aug. 2, and prosecutors filed a murder charge Aug. 14.
Police arrested Lois Goodman Aug. 21 at a hotel in New York, where she was acting as a US Open official.
Her lawyers criticized that move, saying she was no flight risk and police easily could have waited until she was back in California.
The Goodmans, both San Fernando Valley natives, had been married 50 years and had three grown daughters.
After Lois Goodman's arrest, relatives set up a website and Facebook page called Lois Goodman Defense Fund to clear her name.
"Case DISMISSED!!!!" the Facebook page said Friday morning.
Goodman, who has worked matches between some of the greatest tennis players in the world, made her first court appearance in her US Open uniform.
U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier said Goodman's biannual certification as a referee expires at the end of December and she can apply for renewal. If recertified, she will have the right to apply for an official's position at the 2013 US Open, he said.
"I definitely want to get back to refereeing," Goodman said at the courthouse. "But first I want to call my close friends that supported me and thank them again and again."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

At the moment, Rafael de la Parra has but one goal: to jump into water churning with whale sharks and, if he can get within a few feet of one, use a tool that looks rather like a spear to attach a plastic, numbered identification tag beside the animal's dorsal fin. De la Parra is the research coordinator of Proyecto Dominó, a Mexican conservation group that works to protect whale sharks, nicknamed "dominoes" for the spots on their backs.
From This Story
Related Content
He slips off the fishing boat and into the water. I hurry in after him and watch him release a taut elastic band on the spear-like pole, which fires the tag into the shark's body. De la Parra pops to the surface. "Macho!" he shouts, having seen the claspers that show it's a male.
The biggest fish in the sea, a whale shark can weigh many tons and grow to more than 45 feet in length. It's named not only for its great size but its diet; like some whale species, the whale shark feeds on plankton. A filtering apparatus in its mouth allows it to capture tiny marine life from the vast amount of water it swallows. But it is a shark—a kind of fish with cartilage rather than bone for a skeleton—a slow-moving, polka-dotted, deep-diving shark.
De la Parra and a group of American scientists set out this morning from Isla Holbox off the Yucatán Peninsula. The sleepy tourist island, whose primary vehicles are golf carts, has become a research center where scientists study whale sharks. The animals spend most of their lives in deep water, but they congregate seasonally here off the coast of the Yucatán, as well as off Australia, the Philippines, Madagascar and elsewhere. No one knows for sure how many whale sharks are in these waters, but the best estimate is 1,400. The global whale shark population may number in the hundreds of thousands.
Researchers have fastened IDs to about 750 whale sharks here since the scientists started studying them in earnest in 2003, and they hasten to say the procedure does not seem to hurt the animal. "They don't even flinch," says Robert Hueter, a shark biologist at the Sarasota, Florida-based Mote Marine Laboratory, which collaborates with Proyecto Dominó. The researchers have outfitted 42 sharks with satellite tags, devices that monitor water pressure, light and temperature for one to six months, automatically detach and float to the surface, then transmit stored information to a satellite; scientists use the data to recreate the shark's movements. Another type of electronic tag tracks a shark by transmitting location and temperature data to a satellite every time the animal surfaces.
Despite all the new information, says Ray Davis, formerly of the Georgia Aquarium, "there are a lot of unanswered questions out there. Everyone's admitting they don't know the answers, and everybody's working together to get the answers."
Eugenie Clark is Mote's founding director and one of the pioneers of shark research. The first whale shark she observed, in 1973, was a dead one caught in a net in the Red Sea. Once she began studying live ones, in the 1980s, she was hooked. On one occasion, she grabbed the skin under a whale shark's first dorsal fin as it cruised by. She held on, going ever deeper underwater until, at some point, it occurred to her she'd better let go.
"It was incredible," Clark remembers. "When I finally came up, I could barely see the boat, I was so far away."
Clark, who is 89 and continues to do research, recalls the ride with impish delight. At one point, as we sit in her Florida office, she casually mentions a recent dive, then catches herself. "Don't mention how deep I went," she whispers. "I'm not supposed to do that anymore." Then she explodes in laughter.
As she studied feeding behavior in whale sharks, she noticed that juveniles, less than 35 feet long, fled from humans, but larger animals didn't seem to mind nearby divers.

Just after midnight on Sunday, May 3rd , the Roseville Fire Department responded to a report of a small explosion and smoke from a structure on the 500 block of E Street. Crews quickly discovered a fire pit in the rear of the home with an older tube-television burning inside causing the smoke and booming noise. Fire crews quickly contained the fire and the hazard of the television. The crews determined that the television was an older CRT TV with a vacuum tube that could potentially release toxic gases when exposed to fire. Because of the quick actions of Firefighters on-scene, the hazardous release of toxic gases was contained and the risk to the surrounding neighborhood abated.
Although it's not illegal to have a residential fire pit, the Roseville Fire Department encourages residents to only burn clean dry wood and a small amount of starter materials; such as hay or kindling. Flammable liquids, combustible materials, electronic, or household hazardous waste should not be used with a fire pit.
Residents needing to dispose of electronic waste or other household hazardous waste can call the Roseville Environmental Utilities Department. They offer a free doorstep pick-up service for Roseville residents for a wide array of electronic waste and other household hazardous waste items. To set up a pick-up at your doorstep by appointment, call (916) 774-5780. Visit this website (http://www.roseville.ca.us/eu/solid_waste_utility/household_hazardous_waste/default.asp) for more information about proper disposal of household hazardous and electronic waste.
For more questions about residential allowable burning please call the Roseville Fire Department at (916) 774-5800 or visit our website at www.roseville.ca.us/fire
