Good Shepherd Community Church was packed for Tony Silva and Laura Dyal-Silva's memorial service yesterday. Powerful tributes were paid to both Tony and Laura, and the Gospel was presented clearly and powerfully.
Press Coverage Update
- KATU ran a story just after the memorial.
- The Oregonian printed a story with the help of staff and faculty here at Multnomah.
Faculty Eulogy
In closing I have included a eulogy that was shared at the service by Dr. Karl Kutz.
As students come and go each year, they leave a lasting impact upon my life. I find myself immensely proud of them as I see their interaction in the classroom, witness their passion for God, and hear what they are learning through the struggles of life. In the process they touch me just as much as I touch them. Naturally there are some who, for some reason or another, I get to know more closely - and Laura was one of those people. Although Laura began taking classes at Multnomah only this last Fall, I had the privilege of getting to know her several years ago.
My first encounters with Laura were second-hand . . . through conversations with Bobby. Bobby was in many of my classes and as we talked after class about theology or life, inevitably he would mention Laura. From the way that he spoke of her, the way that he honored, loved, and trusted her, I could tell that she was a remarkable young woman. Her opinions mattered, their purpose was a shared vision, ... she was truly a cherished companion.
When I finally met Laura I could not help but be warmed by her presence. No one could; her smile was contagious. It was always such an encouragement to look out into the classroom and see her smile and attentive eyes. Her comments and questions revealed an inquisitive mind and an eagerness to learn. She was engaging and focused and I know that in study groups with students she kept everyone on task. I can attest to her delightful, subtle sense of humor and a love for life that thrived on adventure and the discovery of new things. But by far what stood out the most to me was how I saw her encourage those around her and reach out in a way that reflected genuine interest, patience, and love. Ministry was not something that Laura did; it was simply an extension of who she was.
As I think of all the things that Laura could yet have done, the lives that she would yet have touched, her tragic death is such a loss. But I cannot help but be reminded that on this path of life God does not always lead us along through-streets. He sometimes guides us through dead ends because the journey is often more important than reaching many of our destinations. And Laura traveled well. All of us that encountered her along the way have been enriched by having known her and we will all deeply miss her.

UDS: He did NOT say that . . . did he?
For reasons mentioned in yesterday's blog item, I'm not at the Ubuntu Developers Summit in Oakland. Oh, I could go up there and attend — it's only 80 miles from the cozy confines of the Felton redwoods — but I value my life and I'd like to keep it, thank you very much.
This is not to say that I don't hear about what's going on there from friends, as well as from members of the Ubuntu Apocalypse, who are in attendance and are blogging, tweeting and communicating in some form or another (no smoke signals yet, sadly). I do hear a lot of what's going on, and I thank everyone for posting the updates.
Of all the gems from yesterday's presentations, which featured The Mark but not in a black turtleneck and jeans (I lose that bet), there is one quoted by a Web site called OMG Ubuntu where Canonical's Chris Kenyon announced at UDS yesterday that Ubuntu is on course to ship on 5 percent of the world's PCs next year.
Honestly? I hope this happens. Honestly? I think there's a better chance of a squadron of pigs flying in formation over me while I set a world's record for the 100-yard dash just before giving birth. To triplets.
Let's put aside the fact that this is a significant backpedal from The Mark's prediction that there are going to be 20 million new Ubuntu users this year. I'm going to let others handle that routine grounder.
Some are willing to move the goalposts for Canonical in order for them to succeed. A valid viewpoint there, though one with which I don't agree. Pull the goalie if you want — I'm even willing to give that issue a pass as well.
I'm going to travel the more reasonable route, simply questioning their sanity, casting a suspicious eye at their motives and, most importantly, wondering aloud about their metrics. Rather, I'm going to rage against the machine, as I often do, and let a voice of reason, Jef Spaleta, drive here. In a post on my Facebook page relating to the OMG! Ubuntu article I posted, Jef makes the following astute observation on why this is not a "clear win" with these few paragraphs:
"Larry, Ship does not mean sold…generally speaking. And I have pretty much no information on China and India and other emerging markets. They could really have an upward trend there..but its not exactly easy to try to verify even in a ballpark sense.
"The real question I have is: If they did ship as many as they say last year… why isn't that enough revenue to be self-sustaining? And if they get to 5% next year… will that be enough revenue to be self-sustaining at present expense levels? There OEM partners are going to throw them under the bus as soon as Canonical needs to start passing costs on to OEMs instead of eating them.
"I fear they continue to focus on the wrong metrics. Hitting 5% and not having a sustainable business model to service that growth is classic boom/bust business. Do OEMs value Ubuntu enough to pay an equitable share of the cost of its development? So far its not clear that the answer to that is yes. And until its clearly yes… this is not a clear win. The bigger Canonical gets and the longer this drags on, while servicing red ink there ledger, the harder it will be for them to steer the ship off the rocks."
Well said, Jef.
OK folks in Oakland: Keep having fun and enjoy the Kool-Aid.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and develops business software at Redwood Digital Research, a consultancy that provides true FOSS solutions — which no longer includes Canonical/Ubuntu products — in the small business and home office environment.)

the notable thing about canonical – other than that they're still good for clicks – is that they're so downstream from everything and contribute so little back, that if, or when they call it a day nobody on the outside will really feel any consequences. now imagine if red hat in the corporate world, or debian on the community front happened to be so disoriented, disengaged from reality and with such uncertain future. then we would all be very, very worried. this way, it's just morbid curiosity with some folk wanting to see what happens next for canonical. others have lost interest. even if you're an ubuntu user i don't think any of this is very important. there's a whole world of distros out there. good ones.
May 9, 2012 at 12:43 pm
I think Ubuntu could be at 5 percent, but I don't see the OEM preloads or the marketing. And Canonical seems to be moving focus away from the PC and toward mobile, tablet and TV.
It doesn't add up.

what about ATI ?
Jenbo just posted this but since I wrote it up already and he left out a few steps excuse the double.
First things first, if you get errors when you do startx youll need to delete 4 files
Now we need ssl devs and kernel headersCode:cd ~/.kde/cache-root && rm icon-cache.kcache plasma_theme_Volatile.kcache cd ~/.kde/cache-bt && rm icon-cache.kcache plasma_theme_Volatile.kcache
Go here http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-40 and grab these 2 filesCode:apt-get install libssl-dev linux-headers-2.6.38
"Developer Drivers for Linux (270.40)" and "CUDA Toolkit for Ubuntu Linux 10.10"
chmod them and throw them in the /tmp, then "End Session" because we need to do it from cli
For the driver we need to point to the headers
Then do the toolkit "no need for headers .. enjoy the matrix "Code:./devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.40.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38
Before you boot back into X you need to delete the same 4 files from the top!
To install pyrit we have to switch to python27 with
Now just grab pyrit and make cpyrit firstCode:python-switcher --python27
To make sure its workin just run pyrit list_coresCode:svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit
what about ATI ?
edit: Its working but I still get the mismatch error. (getting 23000kps)
Thanks for putting up the info.
Im getting a segmentation fault. Any ideas?
I got it before and after changing python versions
I had it working perfectly on 32Code:Collected all necessary data to mount crack against WPA2/PSK passphrase. Starting dictionary attack. Please be patient.

great post vvpalin, everything worked like a charm here on my m11x laptop (335M nvidia). now KDE4 64 is operating at proper rez, and life is good
'see the fnords!'
I wanted to make a side note. This worked perfectly for me by the way, but after I went through a cold boot, I could not pull up Wicd anymore. From what I could tell, it was an error that had to do with setting the default version of python to 2.7. Once I set it back to 2.6 it worked fine. I am not sure if this was just an isolated case, or something I did wrong myself, but I figured I would let everyone know just in case. Here is the code for the lazy ones:
Code:python-switcher --python26
... anybody of You Great Guys out there would be able and willing to repackage/modify both original ISO files to support CUDA right from the beginning, & to get it up and running even from the Live-CD mode? (I guess that would be worth a "virtual gold medal & strong friendly handshake" from all of us BT5 "Infected" Nvidia fans! ...PLEASE! pls, pls
hey i am using 64 it gnome and got kinda stuck at "./devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.40.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38" not finding any path any help would be appreciated thanks and when chmod you ask us to chmod them what exactly do you want us to chmod there permissions to.

What does it mean if my child has a "normal heart murmur"?
As your child's blood moves through the chambers, valves, and major vessels of his heart, it makes a "lub-dub" sound. If it makes an extra sound, it's called a heart murmur.
A heart murmur doesn't mean your child has a weak heart or any other health problems. Almost all children have one at some time or another. Some experts estimate that a heart murmur can be heard at some time in 90 percent of children between the ages of 4 and 7 with normal hearts.
Depending on what kind of murmur it is, the noise may be vibratory or rumbling, humming, swishing, gurgling, or even musical. Most of the time, this noise is diagnosed as an "innocent," "functional," "normal," or "harmless" heart murmur.
Sometimes the noise is caused by blood flowing faster or in greater amounts than usual through the heart and vessels. That can happen when your child has a fever, for example, or if he's anemic or has an overactive thyroid.
The noise may also result from something structural that doesn't affect the functioning of the heart. In that case, the sound may fade as the child's body develops and his chest wall thickens.
Innocent childhood heart murmurs require no treatment and usually go away on their own, although some people have one their whole life.
How will the doctor evaluate my child's heart murmur?
To assess whether a murmur is normal or needs looking into, a doctor checks a child's pulse and blood pressure and listens carefully to his heart with a stethoscope. For clues, the doctor tries to determine where in the heart the murmur is occurring, when in the heartbeat cycle it happens, what type of noise it is, how loud it is, and whether it changes when the child changes position.
If your child's doctor has diagnosed the murmur as normal, you can rest assured it's nothing to worry about. If the doctor isn't certain about it or is concerned, you'll be referred to a pediatric cardiologist. The cardiologist might order tests such as a chest X-ray, echocardiogram (which uses sound waves to scan and create an image of the heart), or an electrocardiogram (which records the electrical activity of the heart).
Note: If your child is a newborn and has a heart murmur, his doctor will try to determine if it's transitional – that is, his heart is changing as a result of the change of environment from intrauterine to extrauterine. You might be referred to a pediatric cardiologist, or, if it sounds benign, the doctor may follow your baby's heart murmur for a few months to see if it resolves over time.

The study, which was published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, included 89 people over age 60 with mild to moderate chronic health problems that are common to seniors, such as osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. They were randomly assigned to receive either an herbal combination or placebo for six months.
The herbal formula was made up of eight herbs, all widely used in Ayurvedic medicine: licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), turmeric (Curcuma longa), gotu kola (Centella asiatica), caper bush (Capparis spinosa), ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Terminalia chebula, and Terminalia arjuna.
The people receiving the herbal combination showed signs of increased antioxidant activity and reduced oxidation at the end of the trial. There were no changes in antioxidant status in the placebo group.
Although no one knows for sure whether taking this herbal formula could lead to better health and a longer life, the study's authors suggest that reversing the decline in antioxidant status that occurs with age might slow the aging process.
"The results showed [a] significant rejuvenation of the total antioxidant capacity…in the geriatric patients treated with the polyherbal formulation," they said. "Antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage, the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases."
The results from this study begin to shed light on the ways that herbal combinations might promote better health. Below are a few plant antioxidants that have been studied for their effects on aging:

It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, we all hate how messy you (and your car!) get during an oil change. It seems like some of the auto designers made a point to put the oil filter in a spot that the oil will have to drain down the side of the engine, or the car, or even worse; your arm when removing the filter. Here at Eastwood we hate the idea of getting our detailed engine bay all oily every time we changed the oil in our restored and modified rides.
We now have a solution to help save the mess when doing an oil change with our new No-Mess Oil Filter Wrenches. These handy little wrenches come in 3 generic sizes to fit most oil filters. Simply slip the wrench with bellow over the block and use your 3/8″ ratchet to loosen the filter. The flexible bellow seals against the block to help catch 99% of the oil that is released from the filter. You can then drop the wrench and filter and pour the contents into your drain pan. Simple as that! It also works in reverse for those that like to pre-fill your new filter with oil before installing.
Watch the video below to see how easy it really is; we don't know how we lived without it!

This is a very interesting site! Have you ever wanted to learn a foreign language? Well now you can for free, with FSI Language Courses.
Developed by the United States by the Foreign Service Institute in the late 1940s and early 1950s these courses have entered the public domain and as such are being made available on this website by an unaffiliated party.
To navigate the site is easy. Just select the language you are most interested in learning. I came here for the French, as I'm trying to brush up my French for a college level competency test.
When you select a language, you'll be given a menu for that course. Each menu is different and is based on what course material they have for that language. The really cool thing is most of them have language tapes that go along with them that you can listen to as you work through the exercises associated with the lesson.
From a historical standpoint, it was very interesting to see how they approached teaching linguistics in first part of the 20th century.
UPDATE – Unfortunately this site was shut down without notice at the end of February 2013.

Brevard, N.C.- Brevard's Micheala Watkins scored a game-high 22 points, including the 1,000th of her career in game's final seconds, to lead the Tornados past Tusculum College 60-56 in BC's season finale in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
Watkins became the Tornados 6th 1,000-point scorer on a pair of free throws with just over 13 seconds remaining in the game, giving BC a six-point lead and effectively putting the game out of reach for the Pioneers. The senior also had five steals.
The Tornados erased a six-point deficit early in the second half thanks to a 9-0 run consisting of three's from Asheley Watkins, Micheala Watkins and Tempestt Mack to give the Tornados a 41-38 lead with 13:12 left in the game.
After several lead changes, the Pioneers took a 52-50 lead on two free throws from Nequoiah Anderson at 4:07 before BC's Shelby Wolfe tied the game at 52-52 on a jumper at 3:24.
Micheala Watkins gave BC the lead for good on a bucket with 2:32 left in the game as Brevard closed the game on a 10-4 run. The contest saw 12 ties and 16 lead changes.
Freshman Tuccoa Brackett chipped in 17 points and seven rebounds off the bench for the Tornados, while Mack finished with nine points and three rebounds.
Asheley Watkins fittingly dished out a career-high seven assists in her final game in a Brevard uniform, and finished her tenure with the Tornados 2nd all-time in assists.
Watkins, Mack, and Watkins along with fellow seniors Candice Fritz, Alyssa Cutshaw and Katelynne Poole were honored in a ceremony after the game to celebrate their careers at Brevard.

Man impersonates Pink Floyd's David Gilmour for medical treatment
Listen to Pink Floyd on iHeartRadio
A Minnesota man could face charges after claiming to be a member of Pink Floyd to receive medical care. "The St. Cloud Times" says on April 20th Phillip Schaeffer checked in to St. Cloud Hospital as "David Gilmour," and said he had no insurance.
He was treated and released, but hospital spokeswoman Jeanine Nistler says staff members weren't convinced they had really cared for the British rocker and flagged his file. She says the head of security then determined the man wasn't Gilmour after comparing hospital camera photos with online pictures of the rock star.
When Schaeffer returned a few days later he again claimed to be Gilmour, saying he was seeking treatment during a break in Pink Floyd's Canadian tour. He finally gave up the charade when police arrived and took him into custody.
Authorities are now considering filing felony theft charges, since Schaeffer received close to $100,000 worth of medical services as Gilmour.

Mint, Linux Mint
On Google+ recently, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols brought back a May 2011 item he posted on Linux Mint because "[w]ith all the chatter on one of my posts about Linux desktops, perhaps it's time for me to drag out this review of my current favourite Linux desktop."
It may seem trivial to some, but Steven calls Linux Mint "Mint" throughout the review, and in the back and forth on the comments, that seems to be OK with some. Correction: It seems to be OK with everyone but me. In my opinion, calling it just "Mint" is wrong — especially since the screen shot featured in the article says "Linux Mint" and the symbol is an "LM" — and I find it a little grating to do so, like someone calling me by my last name (Note: Unless you're a drill sergeant, don't do that).
So who's right? Is it "Mint" or "Linux Mint"?
Let's ask Clement Lefevbre, the lead developer at, ahem, Linux Mint. When I e-mailed him that question — "Mint or Linux Mint?" — he responded with the following:
Hi Larry,
You're right. The official name is "Linux Mint" and this is what we should call it.
With that said, most people nickname it "Mint", myself included. I think, when it's within a conversation or an article, it's ok to call the distribution "Mint". It's like a nickname of sorts. But when referring to it officially, we should use its proper name instead. So for instance, its entry within Distrowatch should not be "Mint", but "Linux Mint".
Personally, when I talk about the distribution to other "Mint" users, and when I talk with the other "Mint" devs, we all refer to it as "Mint". When I adress the public or anyone outside our project, I call us "Linux Mint".
Clement Lefebvre
Linux Mint
So . . . I guess that means that both Steven and I are right then.
A couple of things about Linux Mint, going forward: I've used Linux Mint off and on for a couple of years now and I've always found it solid; particularly, and most recently, the Linux Mint Debian Edition which runs flawlessly on a ThinkPad R30. Also, I think the naming convention is one of the best: in initial letter order, a woman's name ending in the letter "a" (I asked Clement once what is going to happen when he reaches "Zelda" — or whatever the "Z" name is — and he said that they'll start with "A" again, ending the name in "e")
If it's up to me, I'll keep calling it Linux Mint, thank you.

Would a rose by any other name run as well on my laptops, my wifes laptops
and that one old desktop?
We have five machines all running Linux Mint because it just works. It even
works after upgrades.
If I or we should my wife be present, are talking with folks that use Linux it is
natural to say "Mint" or maybe "Mint 11" or "Mint Debian" because that is
how people talk. To the uninitiated of the world the "Linux" would be used
just so there would be no confusion. When communicating with LtFSG we
all have to watch that grammar and punctuation and now I guess the noun
nomenclature also.
This weird naming convention stuff of distros, er, make that distributions is
rather infantile. LtFSG has some problem with the alliterative animals that
are used by Ubuntu but he has written a song for the new release of his
favorite distribution, Fedora "Beefy Miracle". Oh come on, Beefy Miracle?
Would anyone drive a car called a Beefy Miracle? I use Mint 11, or if talking
to LtFSG, Linux Mint 11. When talking about Debian (or should that be Linux
Debian Larry?) I have to stay with stable, unstable and testing, I have never
watched "Toy Story" so the cute names aren't in my head. Bah humbug!
It is all in the context.
Peace, Bob

its like people who shorten my name from Thomas to Tom. Only those that know me know not to do that, and those that shorten my name start off on the wrong foot immediately.

Now that's just being a little bit picky. I, personally, refer to my Ubuntu 11.04 as "Natty" and my 11.10 as simply "Oneric" on my blogs and forum posts. It doesn't seem to cause confusion or disrespect to it's official name.

"I guess that means that both Steven and I are right then."
How, exactly? Clement says he's fine with it being just called "Mint" in a review. From where I sit, if the question is, "should Steven have said 'Linux Mint' in his review?", that makes only Steven right, and you wrong for calling him out and insisting on it.
As I said to you in the G+ thread, you're certainly welcome to call it Linux Mint if you like, just as you're welcome to ask for "Kleenex Brand Facial Tissues" instead of "Kleenex" if you're about to sneeze. But if everyone knows what is meant by "Kleenex" or "Mint," communication has been achieved, so I'm not sure what the point is in insisting on the extra syllables every time. Apparently not even Clement insists on that, so why is it such an issue for you?
"…Linux Mint Debian Edition which runs flawlessly on a ThinkPad R30…" Don't you mean an "IBM ThinkPad R30"? 😉

If you want o complain look at Ubuntu you will harli see the word linux used they try to separate linux from ubuntu same us Apple did with there OS base on Bsd

Ratings for Dr. Mark A. Testaiuti
Dr. Testaiuti saved my life! After having ACDF surgery three years ago by another doctor, I was left with debilitating pain and unable to swallow. I was told there was nothing she could do to help. I wanted to die. Then I was introduced to Dr. Testaiuti. He spent hours with me figuring out how to help me. It has only been three days since Dr. T repaired my neck and I already feel 100% better. This man is a GENIUS! Thank you Dr. Testaiuti.
Dr, SAINT Mark Testaiuti !!! Him and Coastal Spine are awesome. The staff is great and very professional, Back surgery is scary but these guys made it much easier. I had surgery to remove a large bulge at S1 in my lower back. I was in extreme pain prior to surgery and swore I would never have any back surgeries but when the pain got that bad and I didn't want to continue living life with a ton of pain pills well I had to make a decision. I'm glad I did !! My 24 year old daughter even gave me some grief for not having a second opinion but I was comfortable with my decision. Dr. Scholl and Dr. Testaiuti both fully explained to me my problem via my MRI and back model. The answer was clear. Before surgery I even meet with the surgical team and explained my concerns to them about getting sick from anesthesia and they took care of that too!! My recovery nurse after surgery Phyliss Doyle was the best. I recommend Coastal Spine and Dr. Testaiuti to anybody.
1st class. Dr. Testaiuti is an ace. My surgery went easy and I am healing and feeling better everyday. Coastal Spine and its workers are professional and dedicated and caring. Top notch organization. Thank you
Dr. T did a 3 level cervial fusion for me in 11/09. He is personally very likable, and professoinally very knowledgeable. He patiently answers all & any questions, used charts, pictures, and 3D's to explain the issue & procedure. He welcomed me to seek a 2nd opinon, which I did at Jefferson Neurological. Both said same thing. My experience with the office staff, Dr T, and Virtua were the same - A++. And FYI, both docs were extraordinarily clear: the surgery probably would not actually help me (ease symptoms) but would help to stave off paralization. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during this trying time. Thanks Dr.T! Glad you are there if needed in the future.
Dr. T. did my spinal surgery in Jan. 2006 & I am still relatively pain-free where he operated. I could barely walk before the surgery. He took great care of me in the hospital & during my rehab/healing period. I would definitely return to him for any spinal surgery in the future, if needed. I only wish he could operate on any impaired body part! (My 'staff rating' is based on my experience at Coastal Spine'.)
Dr. Testaiuti is an AWESOME surgeon and person! His staff is also first rate and always take time to answer any and all questions. Dr. T performed a back surgery on me in 2008, and I was pain free as soon as I woke up from my procedure. My lower back has not felt this good is YEARS!! Thank you, Dr. T!
excelent surgeon,caring.uses the best technique for the situation.
a gifted surgeon and a gentleman--- highly recommended
awesome personality takes the time to make you feel comfortably in the important phase of your life

WATCH: Ariana Grande has breakout moment at 2013 American Music Awards
Listen to Ariana Grande on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Let's do a quick tally: At the 2013 American Music Awards, we saw Trojan horses (Lady Gaga), eyebrows (Miley Cyrus), Daisy Dukes (Ke$ha), and really long legs (Taylor Swift).
And then there was Ariana Grande.
If there were any doubts about the young singer, they were dispelled tonight.
Grande, 20, who is best known for her role as lovable ditz Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and spinoff "Sam & Cat," has just barely started her official solo music career with the August release of her debut album Yours Truly. Still, she managed to capture the AMAs audience singlehandedly with a mesmerizing rendition of her song "Tattooed Heart" — as well as score the night's New Artist of the Year award, beating out a formidable and multi-genre slate of competition including Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Phillip Phillips, Imagine Dragons, and Florida Georgia Line.
That was the most nerve wracking thing ever and I haven't had access to my phone all day but hi y'allllll love u I'm so nervous! u watching?
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) November 25, 2013
However, her nerves clearly did not translate to the audience. Before even receiving the New Artist recognition, Grande amassed a tidal wave of social media support following her moving performance, with fans raving such superlative praise as "amazing," "adorable," "perfection," and "gorgeous" over and over on Twitter.
Grande was in complete command of herself while singing, but became charmingly flustered when taking the stage to accept her award for New Artist. After explaining that her mom had put together a script for her (which she pulled out of her bodice), the young star rattled through her thank-you's at warp speed, managing to get out a comprehensive list of gratitude in mere seconds.
Less rapid than her acceptance speech has been Grande's path to this particular award. Although she's had a long history of vocal performance in musical projects, Grande didn't start conceiving her solo album until 2011. Displeased with the direction it started to take, she continued to work and perfect the set until its release in August two years later. She's listed as a co-writer on six of the songs, and the record debuted at No. 1 upon its first week of release.
"Victorious?" Indeed.
The 2013 American Music Awards were held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on November 24, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.

Follow your health care practitioner's advice regarding physical therapy & exercise during the recovery process. The Science of HomeopathyHomeopathy is safe and gentle and assists in the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. The science of homeopathy is more than 200 years old and has been widely practiced in Europe and Asia. Homeopathy was extremely popular in the United States in the 19th century and then declined with the use of wonder drugs and other changes in the practice of medicine. Homeopathy uses natural remedies made from animal, vegetable, and mineral substances. These remedies are prepared in such a way that they are nontoxic and do not cause side effects. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann discovered the basic principle of homeopathy in 1796 in Germany; he did not, however, claim to have discovered the concept. In the 10th century BC, Hindu sages described the concept, as had Hippocrates, who wrote in 400 BC "Through the like, disease is produced and through the application of the like, it is cured." The principles of homeopathy are: The Law of Similars, The Law of Proving, and The Law of Potentization. The Law of Similars states "like treats like." The Law of Proving refers to the method of testing a substance to determine its medicinal effect. The Law of Potentization refers to the preparation of a homeopathic remedy. Hahnemann found a method whereby the substance is diluted and shaken vigorously over and over again, until the mixture contains no molecular trace of the original matter. This final, minute solution—or homeopathic remedy—is safe and gentle, yet powerful and effective. A homeopathic remedy for headache pain is in actuality a "potentization" of a substance which, in larger doses, may cause symptoms of a headache in a healthy person. When a homeopathic remedy is marked X, it is diluted at the ratio of 1:9 or 1 part substance to 9 parts water. 6X means it was diluted 1:9, 6 times. Dr. Hahnemann called this unique medical system "homeopathy" from the Greek words "Homios" for similar, and "pathos" for suffering. Homeopathic remedies reflect the primary concept that substances in extremely minute doses actually stimulate and assist the body in healing itself. The science of homeopathy is more than 200 years old and has been widely used in Europe, Asia, and the United States. The practice of homeopathy has been exceptionally popular in England; the Royal Family has used homeopathy since the early 1800s. Clear Products' MissionTo promote the safest, purest, and most effective use of homeopathic/herbal formulas by dedicating their talents, resources, and energies to the health industry...doing their part to improve the quality of health and life for all. Clear Products Company HistoryClear Products, Inc. (CPI) is committed to quality and excellence. CPI observes Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure the highest quality product obtainable and to promote the safest, purest, and most effective use of homeopathic/herbal formulas to their valued customers. (GMP is a standard established for the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs in the United States.) Each of their health products is registered with the United States F.D.A. CPI follows the current F.D.A. guidelines in the research and formulation of its product line. The end result is a product that safely and effectively combines homeopathic remedies and Traditional Oriental Medicine. Clear Products Inc. more simply defines this as: Who They AreClear Products, Inc. (CPI), the premiere formulator of innovative Homeopathic/Herbal solutions, was founded in San Diego, CA, in 1998 by Dr. Stanley (Stas) T. Ozog III, Ph.D. (A.M.), L. Ac. (Licensed Acupuncturist), Dipl. A. & Dipl. C.H. (NCCAOM) [Diplomate of Acupuncture and Diplomate of Chinese Herbology (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine)], MTOM (Masters in Traditional Oriental Medicine) and Delmar (Skipp) S. Neville II. CPI's goal is to make a difference in people's health and lives through providing the highest quality natural health products at a reasonable price. Dr. Ozog is licensed in both California and nationally as an Acupuncturist and Herbalist. He has been involved in Oriental Medicine since the mid-1970s. After graduating with his masters degree in Oriental Medicine, he practiced in Palm Springs, CA, at the Palm Springs Wellness Center; was a regular speaker for more than a year on a weekly radio show to discuss alternative medicine; and continues to lecture at various venues around the country. Dr. Ozog earned his Ph.D. in 2012 and is currently is in private practice and devotes most of his time to the research and development of new products. In 1995, Skipp Neville, the Founder and President of a successful real estate consulting firm, engaged the services of Dr. Ozog to help remedy ear problems he suffered from since childhood. Skipp's ear problems were due to what is commonly known as "swimmers ear." He was an avid swimmer, water polo player, and surfer during his high school and college years and later added scuba diving to his assortment of water activities. Skipp worked with many doctors and tried numerous, traditional Western medicine products to relieve the ear pain and pressure—all without success. Skipp did not want to give up his love of the water and sought out complementary methods of treatment. After taking just a few doses of an herbal combination formulated by Dr. Ozog, Skipp was amazed that his "swimmers ear" had all but disappeared. Skipp was so impressed with his personal success he asked Dr. Ozog if the all-natural herbal formula could be mass-produced for those who suffer with similar symptoms. Product HistoryWhat followed from this association and success story were the products Clear Sinus & Ear, for ear and sinus congestion relief, and Clear Motion, for relief of motion sickness and general nausea. Since 1998, Trident Diving and Equipment Co., has marketed these two products to the scuba diving industry worldwide with great success. From the beginning of CPI's marketing initiative, many unsolicited calls were received from customers who noticed the side effects of tinnitus were greatly reduced when they took Clear Sinus & Ear. CPI began immediate research to uncover what was occurring with the unique blend of herbs in Clear Sinus & Ear and its interaction with tinnitus. In March 2005, CPI reintroduced Clear Sinus & Ear with new packaging and an improved formula including homeopathics that reinforce the properties of the original formula. Also during this time, Clear Motion was renamed, repackaged, and reformulated with homeopathics to include relief from digestive issues as well as motion sickness. The new formula, Clear Motion & Digestive Aid, includes relief from abdominal distention, bloating, gas, and acid reflux. After researching the effects Clear Sinus & Ear had on the customers' side effects of tinnitus, Clear Tinnitus was formulated to relieve a broad variety of causes for tinnitus. Clear Tinnitus was unveiled at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, CA, in March, 2001. It has since become CPI's top selling product. In an April 2007 Press Release, CPI announced the results of a prospective human clinical trial run by researchers from the Martha Entenmann Tinnitus Research Center, New York. This study was of a pre-selected group of tinnitus patients diagnosed clinically to have a predominantly cochlear type tinnitus with a middle ear and central component. The hypothesis was that tinnitus relief with Clear Tinnitus reflects improvement in the sensory component of the tinnitus complaint by controlling the factor of aeration of the middle ears and improvement in Eustachian tube dysfunction. A statistical and clinical significance for improvement/maintenance in middle ear pressure (MEP) was established with tympanometry. Patients with tinnitus of the severe disabling type selected for this study responding to Clear Tinnitus reported tinnitus relief accompanied by improvement in or maintenance of MEP of the middle ears. CPI began expanding its product line and, in March 2003, added two new products: Clear Headache and Clear Migraine. To meet the needs of our customers, great care was taken to make Clear Headache and Clear Migraine aspirin free, non- habit forming, and non-drowsy. In July 2004, Clear Cold Sores, Shingles, and U.T.I.'s was formulated to specifically relieve the discomfort, itching, and burning sensations associated with shingles, herpes (simplex 1 and 2), prostatitis and urinary tract infections. This unique formula has an antibiotic, antibacterial, and antiviral effect—as well as anti-inflammatory properties—which offer the most effective symptomatic relief available today. In 2010, Dr. Stas added three new products to the CPI family. The first, Clear Body Detox, is a mild, full body detox formula which nourishes the blood and organs of the body while strengthening the red and white blood cells. With the demand for energy products in the market, Dr. Stas set out to create a product that would be helpful to the body by supplying what the body needs in order to function efficiently and maintain physical stamina as well as mental alertness. Clear N-R-G Plus is the result of these efforts. The last addition in 2010, was Clear Restless Leg Relief. This formula is beneficial for muscle sprain and strain due to minor injuries, sports injuries, or repetitive movements. Currently Clear Headache, Clear Migraine, Clear Motion & Digestive Aid, Clear Cold Sores, Shingles & UTI's, Clear Sinus & Ear, Clear Tinnitus, Clear Body Detox, Clear N-R-G Plus and Clear Restless Leg Relief along with our two newest products, Clear Cold & Flu and Clear Immune Support are available on the Internet, from mail-order catalogs, in health food stores, pharmacies and select mass-market retail stores.

Materials handling automation: Get ready for robotic materials handling
Robotic materials handling is coming to the warehouse and distribution center.

You may have read that the robotics industry show is co-locating with ProMat next year in Chicago. My first reaction was: Huh! Sure, robots are very cool, and there are plenty of robots doing arc welding or loading machines on the automotive assembly line. But how often do you see robots in materials handling, especially in warehouses and distribution centers.
Turns out, there's more than you think. In fact, according to Jeff Burnstein, president of the Robotics Industries Association (http://www.robotics.org), in Ann Arbor, materials handling is now the fastest-growing application segment for the robotics industry. "If you look at industrial robots, we've been dependent on automotive for years," says Burnstein.
And, while Burnstein sees a lot of opportunity in the auto industry for his members despite the recession – growth driven by retooling for new vehicles – the growth of robots for materials handling is cutting across industries, including food, pharmaceutical and public warehousing. "There is clearly a movement to get robots into the warehouse," he says, adding that developments like two arm robots that can work side-by-side with humans and industrial robots on mobile platforms are going to open up new opportunities for robots in the warehouse.
Certainly, our industry has seen the introduction of a number of interesting mobile robotic materials handling solutions from companies like Kiva Systems, RMT and Seegrid, along with solutions to build mixed SKU pallets from Axium and Kuka Systems/Westfalia. In fact, all five were on display at NA 2010 in Cleveland.
This past week, I've been talking to a number of robotic solution providers and consultants for a story on robotics for our August issue. One of the questions I've been asking is why now? What's changed that is allowing robots to make the transition from the assembly line to the warehouse. I've heard a lot of explanations, but the one that resonates with me is that we've seen the cost and reliability of the technology down to where it's competitive with the cost of labor in the warehouse and distribution center. "Robotic technology has become versatile, especially with mobile robotics that can move a pallet around a warehouse with a picker," says Bryan Jensen, a partner with St. Onge (http://www.stonge.com). "But the most important may be that the cost of robotics is now in line with the payback, which is the cost or a portion of the cost of an operator in a distribution center."
One of the economic hurdles to adoption of robotics in the past, Jensen adds, is that while an assembly line worker, especially in an automotive plant, was pretty highly paid, distribution labor was, frankly, cheap and available. That is changing at the same time as robotic technology is getting better and cheaper. The lines on that payback graph are finally crossing.
In other words, robotic materials handling technology is maturing and moving beyond the wow factor to a tried and true tool for materials handlers kit bag. This is going to be a very interesting area to watch over the coming years.

Music Legend Engelbert Humperdinck Comes to Three Stages, 2/18
With four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for "Entertainer of the Year" (1988), 63 gold and 24 platinum records and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Humperdinck might rest easy on his laurels. Not likely. With over 150 million records sold and new collaborations in the works with artists like Sir Elton John and Seal, Engelbert Humperdink continues to be a steady producer of new material and active as both a recording and touring artist.
Engelbert Humperdinck will perform in Three Stages on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $49-$89. Premium tickets are available for $99. They may be purchased online at www.threestages.net or from Three Stages Ticket Office at 916-608-6888 from 10 am to 6 pm, Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Three Stages is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, Calif., facing East Bidwell Street.
Born Arnold George Dorsey he took an early interest in music, starting out as a saxophone player before moving on to singing. Performing under the name Gerry Dorsey, he scraped by financially until he was struck with tuberculosis. In an attempt to reinvent himself after recovery, he followed the advice of his new manager, who also oversaw fellow singer Tom Jones. He changed his name to Engelbert Humperdinck, the same name at the late 19th century German composer of the opera, Hansel and Gretel. The name was just outrageous enough to be memorable. "I had no choice," Humperdinck said later. "I was a starving singer, and someone was giving me a chance to get on in the business."
His career took off shortly after than when he recorded Release Me (And Let me Love Again), the song that thrust Humperdinck into the spotlight. At one point the single sold 80,000 copies a day; managed to fend off the Beatles' Penny Lane from securing the #1 position at the top of the charts. It proved to be the first of seven consecutive Top 10 U.K. hits over the next few years, including The Last Waltz, After the Lovin' and A Man Without Love.

The San Antonio Spurs recently requested to interview longtime Jazz assistant Scott Layden for an executive position, a source informed The Salt Lake Tribune on Monday, and Utah granted the request.
Jazz General Manager Dennis Lindsey joined Utah on Aug. 7, after adding to his resume as assistant GM/vice president in San Antonio.
Layden has spent 25 years with the Jazz and previously served as general manager.
His success with Utah during the 1990s led to him being hired as New York's GM in 1999.
Layden spent 14 seasons working with former Jazz coaches Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson, and joins current Utah coach Tyrone Corbin as a holdover from the Sloan era.
If Layden is hired by the Spurs, it would create an opening on Corbin's staff, which is already small by NBA standards. Sidney Lowe and Jeff Hornacek also serve as assistants, and the latter was a candidate this summer for Orlando's coaching job.

Grading Scale and Quality Points
Students receive a letter grade in each course taken for credit.
Each semester hour of credit for each letter grade carries the
number of quality points indicated as follows:
Grade Point Average
A grade point average is determined by dividing the total number
of quality points by the total number of credit hours attempted in
graded courses. Credit/No Credit courses are not included in this
calculation. Developmental mathematics courses (0900 series) are
graded as pass/fail.
Credit/No Credit Courses
Credit/No Credit grades (CR or NC) are given in specified
courses and result in earned credit hours if they are completed
successfully. The courses do not result in GPA quality points, and
they have no impact on a students grade point average, whether for
the semester or cumulatively. For that purpose, they are not
considered to be graded courses, though the CR and NC designations
are listed on the transcript with all other grades.
CR/NC courses are noted as such in the course descriptions. A
student may repeat a CR/NC course in which a grade of NC is
received. CR/NC courses may be counted toward graduation as
elective hours up to a maximum of 12 hours, but such courses may
not count toward completion of major or General Education
Requirements unless that is noted specifically in the course
Midterm Grade Reports
Mid-term grades are submitted electronically at mid-term of each
semester according to the deadline issued by the Registrars Office.
Mid-term grades are not a part of the students permanent record.
Grades are mailed to students home addresses.
Semester End Grade Reports
All grades are reported to the Registrar at the end of each
semester. Grades are mailed to students home addresses.
Incomplete Grades Grades of I
A grade of I (Incomplete) is given when circumstances beyond a
students control prevent completion of course requirements. The
student must complete the course work within six weeks or as
mutually agreed upon with the instructor. Approval of the
instructor, the Division Chair, and the Academic Affairs Office are
required. If work is not completed within the specified length of
time, the I grade will change to an F, unless special arrangements
for extension have been made by the faculty member and approved by
the Academic Affairs Office.
GPA Requirement
Lindsey Wilson reserves the right to suspend any student with a
.0 to .5 term GPA.
Questioning a Grade -- The Student Academic Complaint
A student who wishes to question a
grade assignment, or other academic issue, should follow the
procedure below:
If the disputed grade is assigned at the end of a fall or spring
semester and the student and faculty member cannot meet to resolve
the issue, the student must contact the faculty member by email
within 14 days of receipt of the disputed grade. If the issue
cannot be resolved by email within the time limit, steps b, c, and
d of the appeal may extend into the beginning of the semester
immediately following receipt of the disputed grade by following
the timeline above.
Students attending campuses in Virginia may contact the State
Council of Higher Education of Virginia at 101 N. 14th
Street, Richmond, VA 23219, (804) 225-2600 as a last resort if
their complaint has not been resolved to their satisfaction.
Students will not be subject to unfair actions as a result of
initiating a complaint proceeding.

Hip stretch
Stand with one foot in front of you, your weight equally distributed between your feet.
Bend both knees, and lift your back heel off the ground. Bring your pelvis forward so your back is flat. (You can lean against a wall or column for balance.)
Hold for 10 - 20 seconds, then repeat on other side. You should feel the stretch in the front of the hip and into your abdomen.

If you know your baby's blood type, then I've found that introducing foods that are highly beneficial for her blood type can be ideal, and avoiding foods that can cause problems for her blood type is helpful.
However, most babies are not typed at birth which means you simply won't know her blood type, unless you know the blood type of your husband and yourself, at which point we might be able to narrow it down.
But in most situations, just introducing one food at a time can be helpful.
There is a fabulous book called Baby Led Weaning which teaches you how to introduce solids to your baby as your baby shows signs of readiness.
Baby will feed herself from the beginning, and no babyfood is served - simply soft foods that baby can easily manage. Don't forget that "food is for fun, until they are one", which means that your breastmilk or baby's formula will continue to be her primary source of calories and nutrients while she becomes accustomed to different textures and flavors.
Here's a video showing you more about why baby-led weaning can be best for baby. Personally, I held my baby on my lap and started introducing foods when my babies were about 8 months old or when they started reaching for the foods I had in my hands.
I was not familiar with baby led weaning when my children were babies, but it's definitely something I will encourage my children to do with their children.
Warm Regards,

Hello Kate! I will definitely take your advice regarding Baby Led Weaning. Thank you so much for the reply =) God Bless
29th October 2012 06:03 AM #4
Hi seanntori,
As Kate says baby led weaning means allowing the baby to try and explore a range of food types themselves. In the book by Gill Rapley she explains that babies who are allowed to feed themselves have even been found to not choose food that they are allergic too. That said, if you have any family history of allergies then I would avoid giving your baby this food type. Eggs and peanuts are common childhood allergies, although you obviously need to be careful with nuts anyway due to the choking hazard (my 22 month old still doesn't have nuts). I would have a read of Gill Rapley's book as it is great at explaining all this.
Have fun weaning!
Best wishes,

Sitting in stunned silence
I'll be there. You should be there, too.
For those of you who keep track of such things, the Fedora Project's naming convention is somewhat unique. Fedora doesn't take a character from the famous Pixar movie "Toy Story," as Debian does, or have the distro's space-traveling master of all he surveys unite an adjective and an animal both starting with the same letter, as Ubuntu does. No, Fedora puts a little more effort into the name choice for each release; an effort that can sometimes border on performance art when debated publicly among those in the community.
The formula is simple: "$CURRENT_NAME is a ______ and so is $NEXT_NAME." A history of the names can be found here.
So this formula has produced some interesting names. Fedora Core 5's Bordeaux — a wine region in France, but also a comic book character — begat Fedora Core 6's Zod, another comic book character. One of my favorites is Fedora 11's Leonidas — which comes from Fedora 10's Cambridge (Cambridge is a ship in the Navy, and so is Leonidas) — because it allowed some fun with the name with "300" memes. Ubuntu? THIS! IS! FEDORA!
As an aside, it's unfortunate that Barona was not chosen as the Fedora 16 name, which would lend itself to rewriting the lyrics to The Knack's "My Sharona." Such are the things that go into consideration in Fedora circles regarding what name to choose in the ranked voting.
There was a huge effort to bestow Beefy Miracle as the Fedora 16 name, to the point where T-shirts and sites abounded. As noted here and elsewhere, I was not fond of that name, which didn't come from an A-is-a-(blank)-and-so-is-B formula as much as it came from an algorithm based on the Fedora 15 name, Lovelock (not exactly a barnburner either). The problem wasn't the formula so much as the name, arguably, lent itself to painting a target on the distro for merciless derision in the FOSS world. However, with all the effort that went into promoting the name and with what it meant to those who pursued it — hell, it's only a name that never gets remembered anyway — I gave it the highest rank in votes anyway in a field of candidates (Barona excluded) that seemed to be so weak as to ensure Beefy Miracle's success.
So I waited for Fedora 16 Beefy Miracle.
Well, guess what? The Fedora world woke up this morning to the results of the naming vote to a shocker. Beefy Miracle finished second in the polling to Verne — not Jim Varney's off-screen buddy (who I believe doesn't have the tailing e at the end of his name), but Jules Verne, the science fiction writer and futurist. Therein lies the connection: James Lovelock is a futurist, and so is — or was — Jules Verne (never mind MY futurist, Marshall McLuhan not making the ballot, despite celebrating his centennial year this year as well as coining the phrase "the global village").
Personally, I'm stunned. Everywhere you went in Fedora circles — and that would mostly include IRC channels, Beefy Miracle was collectively on the tips of everyone's tongues and a lot of effort went into promoting the new "god" — but it was not to be. I truly thought that some approved candidates were left off the final ballot — Dusty, Talladega and others — to ensure Beefy Miracle's success. The prospect that Fedora Activity Days at events would be called "Meat Ups" now falls by the wayside. There is no joy in Mudville.
Now I have to rework my presentations for Fedora 15 — the standard stump speech has a "what's coming up in the next release" and part of that is explaining the naming convention and how we came up with the name for the following release. I feared the derisive laughter that, "Well, upcoming in Fedora 16, which is code-named Beefy Miracle . . . ," and found a way to deliver it with some decorum. Now I don't have a chance to do that.
It's sad on various levels.

A red bottom is the last thing you want to find when you open your baby's diaper. But it's not unusual for infants and toddlers to develop diaper rash, a skin condition that occurs from wearing diapers. "Diaper rash is very common," says Daniel Krowchuk, M.D., FAAP, chief of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C. "A study we published in 2000 indicated that approximately 25 percent of children make a visit to a provider for this condition." The first and most obvious symptom is redness of the skin on areas in direct contact with the diaper. "Parents may notice redness, bumps or breaks in the skin in or around the diaper area," says Tanya Remer Altmann, M.D., FAAP, associate medical editor of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, Birth to Age 5 (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2009) and a pediatrician in Westlake Village, Calif. "Sometimes the skin can be uncomfortable or tender to touch. Some babies will fuss or cry when changed if the rash is bothering them."
Most rashes are the result of leaving your baby in a wet or soiled diaper for too long. Moisture from a soiled diaper can harm your baby's skin and make it more prone to chafing. In more severe cases there may be painful open sores. Once the skin is irritated and damaged, your baby will become vulnerable to yeast or bacterial infections.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than half of babies between 4 months and 15 months of age will develop diaper rash at least once in a two-month period. Diaper rash is most common between 8 to 10 months of age. It's also common when babies have frequent bowel movements or diarrhea.
Diaper rash is more likely when babies start to eat solid food, which causes changes in the digestive process. Babies are more vulnerable too, if they — or their nursing mothers — are taking antibiotics, which makes them prone to yeast infections.
Healing the rash involves being more vigilant about changing your baby's diapers. While your baby is battling a bout of diaper rash, here's what you can do:
Fortunately, you can take steps to prevent diaper rash, especially if you know your child is vulnerable. Apply a thick layer of diaper ointment that contains zinc oxide on to your baby's bottom at every diaper change. Avoid putting the diaper on too tightly, which will trap the moisture and discourage air circulation. A petroleum jelly type product also works well.
Consider using extra absorbent diapers, too. "With the advent of super-absorbent diapers, which wick moisture away from the skin and keep the skin dry, the frequency of irritant diaper dermatitis has declined greatly," says Dr. Krowchuk, who is also former chair of the AAP Section on Dermatology.
And make sure to change your child's diaper frequently. "Changing the diaper promptly after it becomes wet or soiled is the best way to prevent diaper rash," Dr. Krowchuk says.
If you're using an over-the-counter diaper ointment, and your baby's diaper rash still doesn't improve after a few days, or is even getting worse, call your pediatrician. The rash may have developed a yeast infection.
"Depending on the type of rash, your doctor may recommend a yeast cream, especially if the rash is bright reddish pink and raised with bumps surrounding it, which are signs of a candida or yeast diaper rash," Dr. Altmann says.
The good news is, diaper rash can be prevented and is easily treated. "Once children are toilet trained and out of diapers, the problem goes away," Dr. Krowchuk says.

Amid sanctions, Penn State's seniors salvaged season
Coach Bill O'Brien often can't say enough about the role Penn State's seniors played in leading the Nittany Lions to an improbable 8-4 record this past season.
But two key words offer the simplest explanation of why this senior class will go down as perhaps the most important in Penn State football history: "Charlie Mike."
That is military shorthand for the initials C.M., which stand for "Continue Mission." Following an inspirational speech from a former Nittany Lion and Navy SEAL, those words became the rallying cry for the players in August. And the code words help tell the story of a group that refused to let Penn State fail after crippling NCAA sanctions in July triggered widespread predictions of collapse.
Notre Dame and Alabama play for the national championship Monday night, bringing an end to the college football season that capped the most trying year in Penn State history. If the Nittany Lions one day rejoin the elite in college football, 2012 will go down as a seminal season.
Senior leaders, many of whom composed an unheralded recruiting class five years earlier, helped prevent a mass exodus of underclassmen in the days after the sanctions were announced. The Tribune-Review talked exclusively with a handful of those players, including outside linebacker Michael Mauti, about how they held the team together during the most precarious time in program history.
The efforts of Mauti and his fellow seniors started the same day the NCAA slapped the program with sanctions that included a four-year postseason ban and allowed all players to transfer without penalty. That night, Mauti and running back Mike Zordich showed up unannounced at the on-campus apartment of defensive tackle Jordan Hill.
"We need to keep this (expletive) together," they told Hill after he opened the door.
Taking charge
The players met with O'Brien, who was six months removed from a trip to the Super Bowl as New England's offense coordinator, shortly after the NCAA sanctions were announced.
"He didn't show weakness of hoping guys would stay or begging guys to stay," said senior offensive tackle Mike Farrell, a Shady Side Academy graduate. "He was honest, but he was firm with the plan that he had, and I don't think he could have done it better any other way."
The seniors pledged to stay together almost immediately after the sanctions were unveiled, and they took the lead in persuading underclassmen not to flee the program.
Hill talked to every defensive lineman and told them to call him at any time with questions or doubts.
"I may not have the answer," he said, "but I will help you."
Senior cornerback Stephon Morris, to whom the concept of loyalty is fiercely personal, talked to the defensive backs about how he planned to honor the commitment he had made to Penn State. Sophomore cornerback Adrian Amos and freshman cornerback Da'Quan Davis thanked Morris afterward. Both told Morris that they hoped to lead like him one day.
Mauti and Zordich kept detailed notes on every player and where each stood as far as staying at Penn State or leaving. The two players would work out first thing in the morning and try to stay in front of the fluid transfer situation in the afternoon.
Nights were spent in O'Brien's office, as Mauti and Zordich shared notes on what they were hearing with the head coach and strength coach Craig Fitzgerald. Mauti and Zordich outlined scenarios in which a player might leave and what player or players he might follow out of Penn State.
"Going to bed at 3 or 4 at night and wake up at 6 in the morning and doing it all over again," Zordich said of the days after the sanctions were announced. "We had it all mapped out."
Not that everything followed script.
Mauti found out one day that two of his teammates were visiting Michigan State, and he reached one of them by cell phone. After he delivered a pitch as to why they should stay at Penn State, the two turned around and headed back.
Mauti declined to name the players, but he said the anecdote illustrates how fine a line there was between keeping the program together and watching it crumble.
The first significant loss came a week after the sanctions were handed down when star tailback Silas Redd made official his plans to transfer to Southern Cal.
O'Brien had previously invited hundreds of former lettermen back to Penn State, and they were scheduled to address the team that night. O'Brien told them following the loss of Redd that he needed their help.
"The boat isn't sinking," O'Brien said to them. "It is rocking."
A galvanizing speech
No former player did more to galvanize the current ones than a walk-on whose name might not register with even the most avid Penn State fan.
Rick Slater joined the team in the late 1990s, at age 28, after serving eight years in the military. After 9/11, he re-enlisted, and by the time O'Brien had asked him to address the 2012 team, the Navy SEAL had served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Players sat at attention as Slater brought to life abstract values such as duty and honor. He talked to them about how his life depended on trust and knowing the guy next to him would fight for him.
Then Slater took off the football belt he had worn at Penn State. He told the players that it had been on every continent and that he had worn it during every mission.
That, he said, was how much Penn State football meant to him.
"That was one of the more powerful moments of that speech," Mauti recalled.
Slater concluded by exhorting the players to "Charlie Mike" — continue mission.
The words made their way onto T-shirts as well as the wall of Penn State's weight room.
Players would often bark the words in unison after they broke a team huddle. And "Charlie Mike" is the reason Penn State didn't unravel after opening the season with back-to-back losses for the first time since 2001.
"We didn't have any come-to-Jesus meetings in that aspect among seniors or among players," Farrell said of the start that included a demoralizing one-point loss at Virginia. "We just maintained that idea that we were just going to refuse to be denied."
Penn State won seven of its next nine games, and the team that was not allowed to play in a bowl game turned into one of the stories of the year in college football.
Players, however, chafed at the notion that Penn State would play with house money in the regular-season finale since it already had guaranteed itself a winning record.
Mauti, after all, had taped Slater's speech from more than two months earlier inside his locker for a reason.
"Charlie Mike" indeed.
Completed mission
The night before the final game against Wisconsin, O'Brien asked every senior to address the team.
Morris talked about his father, Roman, who had raised him after his mother tried to give him away at age 2 and how much Penn State meant to both of them. Hill told the team about his father, who had suffered a stroke a couple of years earlier and taught his son the real meaning of perseverance.
Mauti talked about everything he had been through at Penn State, which included three season-ending knee injuries, the firing and death of former head coach Joe Paterno and the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
The next day, Penn State placed the 2012 team in the school's ring of honor. The Nittany Lions wore No. 42 on their helmets to honor Mauti, who could not play against Wisconsin after injuring his knee the previous game. Outside linebacker Gerald Hodges switched from No. 6 to No. 42 as a tribute to his teammate and close friend.
Hill, who had suffered two knee injuries earlier in the season, dominated the game on one healthy leg. Maligned kicker Sam Ficken booted a 37-yard field goal in overtime. The Badgers couldn't match the field goal after Hill wrecked yet another Wisconsin possession.
A glowing scoreboard on a bitterly cold night at Beaver Stadium said it all: Penn State 24, Wisconsin 21.
"Charlie Mike" officially had turned into completed mission.
In the glow of a victorious locker room, Zordich spread the two words. They were the password to get players and their families into a private party later at a popular State College restaurant.
More than six weeks later, "Charlie Mike" offers the most succinct summation of a season that won't soon be forgotten.
"We understood that it was just bigger than us and having gone through so much in our careers and more adversity than any other team and program in history, we came out with our guns blazing and with our hair on fire," Mauti said. "That's the only way I want to be remembered. We lit our hair on fire back in July, and we just played as hard as we could on every play until our last play."
