SEC and ESPN launch new online network
The University of South Carolina and the 11 other Southeastern Conference institutions have teamed up to launch the SEC Academic Network, a Web site to promote academic endeavors of SEC universities.
The site -- www.secacademicnetwork.com -- has been established by the SEC in partnership with ESPN and the member universities.
Developed using technology and coordination from ESPN Digital Media, the academic network will feature content from every institution on topics ranging from research, innovation and economic development to community partnerships, civic engagement and service.
The University of South Carolina's features emphasize the institution's reach, relevance and impact on the state and world. Among the initial videos are one on Cocky's Reading Express, a student-led literacy effort to encourage young children in public schools to read; successful efforts by the College of Education to recruit teachers to rural areas and improve science achievement in struggling schools; and how alumni in the health sciences are expanding quality, affordable healthcare to those who need it most.
University President Harris Pastides said the Web site is an excellent way to promote the academic side of the university.
"When the new SEC TV agreements were being discussed, we wanted to explore new ways to highlight the excellent academic opportunities found at our universities, in addition to the outstanding athletics programs," Pastides said. "The SEC Academic Network helps realize that goal."
"The commitment to highlight the accomplishments of SEC member institution academic programs was a key component of our new television agreements," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. "We are grateful to ESPN bringing the expertise and tools they use in sports media to our institutions in support of academic pursuits.
"This network will provide our 12 institutions with the ability to create and distribute academic and other non- athletic programming throughout the world on a regular and full time basis," said Slive.
On the Web site, each institution has its own page that includes videos categorized by topic. Alumni, fans and students worldwide now have the ability in one place to learn more about SEC academics through video features that are posted by the league institutions. Videos feature outreach, research, economic development, innovation and the student experience.
The SEC Academic Network is a component of the SEC's 15-year television package with ESPN, which is the most comprehensive in the history of intercollegiate athletics. Also part of ESPN's commitment to SEC academic programs: the production of an annual "Campus Connection" telecast at each SEC institution, in which students take part in the production; telecasts of two programs annually dedicated to the academic accomplishments of SEC student-athletes; a weekly academic feature segment on ESPNU's SEC show; and selection of one undergraduate from every SEC institution to participate in ESPN's summer internship program.

June 28 , 2013 -- Commemorative plaque
There is a plaque on the bench on the corner of Sheenjek and Yukon, but it is too faded to read. What did it used to say?
From Marianne Freelong, Facilities Services
Thank you for your question. The plaque honors a former UA employee and reads:
In loving memory or our beloved friend, Michelle Combellick (1951-2005)
Her walk through life was an inspiration to so many of us, both physically and spiritually.
We will always remember her as we walk through our life's journey.
The Care Bears
June 26 , 2013 -- UAF search feature
When I go to do searches (in the upper right side of the main www.uaf.edu page) on the UAF website, why do results for UAA and UAS always come up first? I have to sort through several links that sound like what I am looking for but for the wrong school.
From Rosen Kehayov, OIT lead infrastructure application architect
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It appears that the search in the UAF banner was pointing to the default search collection which includes all UA domains (UAA, UAS, UAF, and SW) instead of pointing only to UAF and SW domains. I have fixed that for the main UAF page and we're working on fixing it for the rest of the sites.
June 24, 2013 -- Eielson stairwell
Something seems to have died in the stairwell of Eielson. Is there anyway to freshen the air? It's most unpleasant to walk through these days.
From Marianne Freelong, Facilities Services
Thank you for providing this notice. Several FS employees checked the first floor of this stairwell and concurred that it indeed needs a good cleaning. No animals were found. The custodial contractor will be cleaning it in the next few weeks.
Although we did not detect a smell from it, there is a pipe coming from the building that will be capped off and covered up at some point this summer as time permits.Ā
To expedite requests about facilities, please contact dispatch directly at 474-7000 or send an email to email@example.com.
June 21, 2013 -- Restrooms in Signers' Hall
The single person stall bathrooms on the first floor of Signers' Hall really need a vacant/occupied deadbolt lock. The only way to know if someone is in there is to yank on the handle and the door is either locked or not. It is an awkward situation on both sides of the door. If the deadbolt was installed, it would easily indicate "Vacant" when empty and "Occupied" when someone is using it.
Also, do those bathrooms get cleaned very often?Ā They are very grimy looking.ĀĀ
From Marianne Freelong, Facilities Services
Thank you for your suggestion. Facilities Services has submitted a work order to install the "occupied/vacant" slide locks on both bathroom doors in Signers' Hall and custodial services has been asked to do a thorough clearning of the bathrooms.
To expedite requests about facilities, please contact dispatch directly at 474-7000 or send an email to email@example.com.
June 21, 2013 -- Reserved parking in Eielson gold lot
I've noticed that the Eielson gold lot now has a space reserved for OIT. There were also three spaces blocked by cones when I arrived this morning. It costs quite a bit to purchase a gold lot pass. Are spaces slowly disappearing for a reason? Thanks!
From Debbie Hanson-Hill, Parking Services
The OIT space is a temporary relocation due to construction closures only. There is also a short two-week closure of several spaces in the West Eielson lot while construction takes place on the upper floors of the Eielson building. This closure should be completed by the end of June.
Please bear with us during this busy construction time. Should you have any problem finding a space in West Eielson, please contact Parking Services at 474-PARK(7275) for assistance. We will be monitoring the spaces on a routine basis.
June 10, 2013 -- Fire alarm in Gruening
Is there any way to ratchet down the sound level on the fire alarm in Gruening?Ā The alarm went off today and I was one of a line of people going down the stairs wincing in pain with fingers in ears. I know the alarm must be clearly hearable, but is hearing damage really necessary?Ā And if firefighters were giving instructions or someone injured were calling for assistance, no one could hear them.
From Doug Schrage, Fire Chief
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. In following up on your concern, I consulted the Department of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management; the Alarm Shop; and the UAF Fire Marshal. What I've learned is that this is an issue that has been raised before. Extensive noise sampling was conducted at least twice, most recently in 2008. While the sound level was determined to be very high, it is at the minimum level permissible to ensure that the alarm can meet the audible standard in all areas of each floor. Unfortunately there is no short-term solution that we know of. The only way to reduce the noise would be to add horns in the remote areas of the building, which the current system cannot currently accommodate. We are committed to following up on this. In the mean time, the best thing we can do is take all reasonable means to prevent accidental alarms.
June 3, 2013 -- UAF Dining summer hours
I've noticed that Dining Services website has not been updated with summer hours before/on opening day for all summer dining locations; The Lola Tilly Commons hours are still not posted. Not only does this reduce the amount of people who could have used the facilities, but it also causes problems for those trying to plan conferences here on campus. When will hours be posted for Lola Tilly? I know they are subject to change, but currently there are no hours posted and they opened May 29.
Included below is the flier listing the hours for Lola Tilly. UAF Dining has been asked to update the site as well. Conference organizers need to work with UAF Dining Services directly because they are only scheduled to be open for hours in which conferences are booked. They plan the food preparation based number of individuals (plus about 10 percent), so if someone anticipates bringing a conference on campus, they need to work directly with dining to ensure there is enough food to accommodate everyone.

By Scott North Herald Writer
EVERETT — A man charged with killing two Snohomish County women more than 17 years ago likely won't be going on trial until sometime this summer — and that may be pushing things, a judge was told Thursday.
Danny Ross Giles, 45, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder connected to the July 1995 stabbing death of Patti Berry and the May 1995 disappearance of Tracey Brazzel.
The former Everett man, who has a long history of sex crimes, made a brief appearance in Snohomish County Superior Court on Thursday while lawyers updated a judge on the status of his case. Giles has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.
Giles' trial initially was scheduled for January but within weeks was moved to late March. Lawyers on both sides of the case on Thursday asked Judge Anita Farris to reschedule the trial for sometime in June.
"Even that date is not a realistic date," said Neal Friedman, one of two seasoned public defenders who have been assigned to represent Giles.
More than 10,000 pages of police reports and other records already have been collected in the case, the judge was told.
Meanwhile, investigation continues, deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said.
Giles has been locked up in the Snohomish County Jail since the murder charges were filed in November, his bail set at $4 million.
Previously, the convicted rapist had been at the state's Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island, where he was awaiting a civil trial to determine whether he is a sexually violent predator. That case was dismissed after the murder charges were filed, but could be reactivated by prosecutors at any time.
Giles' criminal history includes convictions for raping a Lynnwood woman in 1987 while she was in a tanning bed and for exposing himself to two college-aged women near the University of Washington in 2005. His record also includes peeping and other offenses against women and girls, starting in his teens and continuing into middle age.
He repeatedly refused sex offender treatment while in prison, records show.
On Thursday, Giles made it clear that he wasn't terribly pleased to be waiving his right to a speedy trial on the murder charges, but given the amount of discovery in the case and the availability of his attorneys, he saw no other option.
"What choice do I have?" he said when the judge asked him if he understood what was happening.
Prosecutors say Giles has been linked to Berry and Brazzel through science, and through his lifestyle, circa 1995.
Investigation by cold-case detectives with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office has determined Giles in 1995 frequented Kodiak Ron's, which was then located south of Everett at the intersection of Highway 99 and Airport Road.
That's where Brazzel, 22, was last seen alive. The same is true of Berry, 26, who was spotted at a convenience store in the same block, where she went looking for air to fill a leaking tire on her car, according to court papers.
Giles wasn't a suspect in either case until about five years ago. That's when tests found his DNA allegedly mixed with Berry's on the steering wheel of her car. Detectives in 1995 had preserved the steering wheel as evidence after removing it from Berry's blood-spattered car. The statistical probability of a random match to Giles was calculated at 1 in 580 million, according to court papers.
The connection to Brazzel came in 2010 after tests on the blood droplets found in 1995 on the outside of Brazzel's car. The blood contained Giles' DNA, and the statistical probability of a random match was calculated at 1 in 56 quadrillion, prosecutors say.
Cold-case detectives still are interested in talking with anyone who has information about Giles, particularly any connections he may have with Kodiak Ron's or Honey's, a nude nightclub that used to be located along Highway 99 south of Everett. The sheriff's office tip line is 425- 388-3841.

Proposition 40 is perhaps the best example of political inside baseball turned ballot initiative.
The confusing and controversial measure asks voters whether they support the state Senate lines drawn by the equally controversial California Citizens Redistricting Committee.
A yes vote keeps the new Senate lines in effect until 2020. A no vote invalidates the boundaries and starts the redistricting process from scratch, officials said.
The measure was written in an effort to redraw the lines -- its sponsors were initially urging a no vote. But now leaders of the California Republican Party and other backers have asked their supporters to approve the measure in anticipation of having a better chance in the next election.
"The state Senate lines are bad for this year and not so bad for 2014," said Douglas Johnson, fellow at the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College. "When the even-number districts come up in 2014, the Dems are almost guaranteed to lose."
Democratic lawmakers are suspicious of the ballot initiative, with one lawmaker accusing the Republicans of "childlike behavior."
"I think it is a failed attempt by some Republicans to mislead the voters and confuse the voters into changing the rules after the courts decided that the Redistricting Commission appropriately drew the lines," said state Assemblyman Mike Eng, D-Monterey Park. "I think it's laziness on their part. And it's a failed attempt to mislead the voters."
After voters approved a 2010 ballot initiative to take redistricting out of the hands of politicians and assign the task to citizens, the hope was that the process would be clean.
But it wasn't.
Outrage from California Republicans boiled over when the redistricting commission released its legislative lines in 2011. The lines, according to Johnson, would hand the Democrats a two-thirds majority in the state Senate.
According to a ProPublica report, state Democrats gamed the process to increase their representation. Memorandums obtained by ProPublica showed the Democrats were working "behind the scenes" to assure they would gain seats.
For example, in its report, ProPublica said that Eng's wife, U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte, benefitted from the lines drawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission. Chu, an Asian-American politician, was given a congressional district where Asians are in the majority. With some hesitation, the Republicans agreed to the state Assembly lines, but not the state Senate boundaries.
"It's clear to us that the process had been corrupted," said Tom Del Beccaro, California Republican Party chairman.
"We supported the idea of a ballot initiative because we wanted fairness in the process."
The GOP spent more than $1.7 million gathering signatures, but the actual ballot language was drafted by Fairness & Accountability In Redistricting, a political action committee, Del Beccaro said.
Under normal circumstances, a qualifying ballot measure would prompt the courts to hold off on enforcing the district lines. But the courts put the new lines in play despite Prop. 40.
But the court decision isn't the end of the Prop. 40 tale. Republicans looked a little closer at those state Senate lines this spring and decided, well, they weren't that bad. They feel they can recover some of the electoral losses from 2012 in two years.
Those seats are mainly in the Central Valley in northern Orange County, according to Del Beccaro.
"The 2014 lines are certainly better than the 2012 lines and our candidates on the 2014 lines are better than their candidates," Del Beccaro said.
The confusing and controversial measure asking voters whether they support the lines drawn by the equally controversial California Citizens Redistricting Commission has gone from referendum effort widely supported by the Republican Party to one most members of the GOP are asking voters to reject.
A yes vote keeps the state Senate lines in effect until 2020. A no vote invalidates the lines and starts the redistricting process from scratch, officials said.
The California Republican Party was all in on Proposition 40 at first but is now asking members and supporters to remain patient. The measure has no official organized opposition now.
Proposition 40YES means: The state Senate district boundaries certified by the Citizens Redistricting Commission would continue to be used.
NO means: The California Supreme Court would appoint special masters to determine new state Senate district boundaries.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on Kackar TV dated October 20th, 2010
A Messenger has come to you from among yourselves. Your suffering is distressing to him; he is deeply concerned for you; he is gentle and merciful to the believers (Surat At-Tawba, 128 )
"A Messenger," a Mahdi (a.s.) "has come to you from among yourselves. Your suffering is distressing to him; he is deeply concerned for you; he is gentle and merciful to the believers." Look, Allah swears an oath and says "Your suffering is distressing to him." For example, a Muslims being in any kind of distress, that could be a psychological trouble, that could be material or a trouble due to disease; the believer is bothered with that. Since they do love and protect each other, they do not say "What is it to me?" due to compassion. This is not so among unbelievers, the man would say "What is it to me?" He would not even bother and enter into something that would discomfort him. He says "distressing to him." Look, he is distressed with it, it bothers him. If the man is bothered, he is even ten times more bothered. He wants to solve it for sure. "He is deeply concerned for you." How is a mother concerned with her child? How is a father concerned with his child? An affection that would not even be comparable to that, I mean that is a great affection. No harm should come to them, they should be healthy, they should be joyful, no harm should come to their happiness. They should have strong faith. They shall go to Paradise, no word should come to their dignity and honor.
He acts very painstakingly so that no harm comes to their honors and good names. "He is gentle and merciful to the Muslims." What does merciful mean? He both loves and pities them. A love mixed with pity. Pure love turns away; it is bad and there is desire in it. But when it is mixed with affection, it is both very pleasant and very acceptable; and this is true love. The exact meaning of love is affection. For example, I love my little kitten here with compassion, love mixed with pity. Because I want no harm to come to her, I do not want her to be tired, to be sad; but if I am not concerned with her tiredness or if I am not concerned with her disease but if I am just saying "I love her" then this is very bad, that wouldn't be okay.. "And merciful" in the verse "merciful." Why mercy? You are sparing them from unbelievers, trying to protect from Hell, taking care of their health, avoiding microbes. You are careful against the cold, against the hot, you protect them against hunger. You protect them against sleeplessness, everything that comes to your mind; being merciful about everything materially and spiritually everything that they would benefit from. "A Messenger has come." Its abjad (numerological) value is exactly 1990. Not more, not less. It points to Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.). It points to the system of the Mahdi; but this verse is a verse that directly tells about our Prophet (saas). But in one respect; it also refers to Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) as a second meaning.

Stand your ground with your smartphone
Yesterday's paper brought yet another amazing story from the alternative universe that is Florida. In the land of jai alai and alligators, where "stand-your-ground laws " are considered by many to be a legitimate defense for shooting people, it seems that recording a conversation with a cop will land you in jail.
As the Sun-Sentinel reports, 33-year old Brandy Sherling was stopped by a Broward County, Florida sheriff's deputy for a minor traffic violation. When she told the officer she was recording the conversation on her smart phone, he demanded she give him the phone and told her (erroneously) that she was committing a felony by recording him. The argument went on for over four minutes. Finally the officer pushed Ms. Sherling from her car, twisting her arm and spraining her wrist in the process. She spent a night in jail—but was never charged. Now she's suing. Good for her.
Oh, not because she's going to get a ton of taxpayer's cash from Broward County. Because she shows us the way we Americans will ultimately protect our freedom and civil rights in a nation where the desire for security now trumps the Bill of Rights.
From the NSA sweeping up metadata to local police scanning license plates, the authorities believe they have carte blanche to surveil us. So as they spy on us, we have a civic duty to return the favor - just like Brandy did with her smartphone.
You see, the only real safeguard we have against this new wave of creeping, technology-driven totalitarianism is to expose the abuses, and create tidal waves of public outrage. The surveillance community instinctively understands how powerful and deeply ingrained our distrust of government "security" runs, even in red states. Justice Scalia, certainly no liberal, penned the 2012 Supreme Court opinion in United States v. Jones, which found the warrantless use of GPS auto tracking devices violated the Fourth Amendment.

Toronto FC announced THursday that the club has parted ways with President and General Manager Kevin Payne.
"I have a great deal of respect for Kevin and thank him for his contributions with TFC, but he and I have mutually agreed that the team will be moving in a different direction as we prepare for the 2014 season," said Tim Leiweke, President & CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. "Kevin and I both share a passion for MLS soccer and he will play a role in the transition as we work to put the best team on the pitch for our supporters.
"By delaying the season seat holder renewal process until January, we want to show our supporters that they do come first to us. I know the turnover has been frustrating to them, but my goal with every move we make this off-season is to return the tremendous support that they have shown this team."
Payne joined Toronto after 17 seasons with D.C. United where the club won 12 domestic and international championships, including four MLS Cup titles.

Torso found in Lake Ontario belongs to single mom
TORONTO (AP) — A badly decomposed torso found in a suitcase in Lake Ontario this week belongs to a single mother whose other body parts were found scattered around Toronto last month, police said Thursday.
Police Const. Tony Vella said autopsy results showed the torso is from Liu Guanghua, a Canadian citizen of Chinese descent.
Her head, foot and hands were discovered in a river west of Toronto last month. A few days later, her two calves, a thigh and an arm were found in a creek in eastern Toronto. Her estranged boyfriend was charged with murder last month.
Her torso was found Wednesday after two boaters spotted the suitcase.
Liu, a mother of three, was reported missing on Aug. 11, a day after her friends dropped her off in front of a now-defunct spa she owned in east Toronto.
Last week, a woman's torso was found at the base of Niagara Falls. Police have ruled out any connection to Liu's case.
Niagara Police suspended their search Thursday around the Niagara River in an area where the torso was found after no other evidence was discovered.
That torso has not been identified but a post-mortem determined it belonged to a Caucasian woman between 31 and 55 years old. It's believed to have been in the water for four to 10 days before it was spotted by a tourist. Police are appealing to the public for help in identifying the woman, who had a pierced navel and two caesarean section scars.
The two cases have received extra attention since porn actor Luka Magnotta was accused of dismembering a Chinese student in Montreal and mailing his body parts to political parties and a school earlier this year.
Mark Mendelson, a former Toronto police detective, said dismembering a body as a way to dispose of it is not new and said three cases does not make a trend.
"It's not that unique," Mendelson said.

text: Bobcats Hold Off Thunderbirds, 76-68 January 21, 2013 By SUU Strategic Communication Related Links Box Score Jordan Johnson had career-highs with seven rebounds and six assists at Montana State Courtesy: SUU Strategic Communications BOZEMAN, Mont. Jan. 21 - Damon Heuir scored 20 points to lead three Southern Utah players in double figures but Montana State outscored SUU 9-2 over the final 2:38 to take a 76-68 men's basketball victory in Big Sky play Thursday night. SUU lost its fifth straight to dip to 3-5 in the Big Sky and 4-12 overall while the Bobcats improved to 4-4 in conference play and 7-9 overall. SUU slipped into a six-way tie for fifth place in the BSC while Montana State moved into a tie with North Dakota in third place. "We had our chances to win this basketball game and kinda get over the hump, but obviously that basketball team was eight points better than we were tonight," SUU Coach Nick Robinson said. Southern Utah trailed 36-31 at halftime but came back to tie the game at 50-50 on a Jayson Cheesman layup with 11:55 to play. MSU got two free throws from Xavier Blount, then a short jumper from Antonio Biglow to go up 54-50 and although the Thunderbirds stayed within striking distance the rest of the way they were never able to take the lead. Damon Heuir scored inside to pull the Thunderbirds within 59-58, but after a Bobcat timeout MSU got a dunk from Paul Egwuonwu and a layup from Christian Moon to push the edge back to five. After Montana State pushed the lead up to five on a Flavien Davis basket the Thunderbirds got a free throw from Jackson Stevenett and a layup from Heuir to get back within 67-65. SUU then got a defensive rebound and had a chance to tie or take the lead but Heuir's three from the corner was off the mark. SUU had another chance to tie or take the lead after Blount missed a pair of free throws but again Heuir's 3-point attempt was off the mark and Marcus Colbert pulled down the rebound, was fouled, and hit two free throws to give MSU a 69-65 lead with 57 seconds to play, and the Thunderbirds were able to get no closer than three the rest of the way. "In terms of down the stretch I thought we had a chance when they missed a free throw but got an offensive rebound and were able to take more time off the clock," Robinson noted. "We had the momentum at that point but we weren't able to make a basket. Our guys fought hard tonight but we couldn't get out of the rut. Hopefully we'll do a better job when we get back home to Cedar City." Stevenett finished with19 points and Cheesman had a season-best 13 with eight rebounds and three blocks while Jordan Johnson dished out six assists and pulled down seven rebounds, both career-highs. SUU was without the services of starting forward Jaren Jeffery, who was suffering from illness. Moon led Montana State with 24 points while Blount finished with 13 and Egwuonwu had 10. SUU out-rebounded the Bobcats 37-33, finished with 13 assists and 13 turnovers. "Thirteen turnovers is encouraging for us, since we've been averaging about 17 but they still were able to get 14 points off those turnovers and that's too many," Robinson said. -- SUU --

To put it in baseball terms, Palmer can't put the ball where he wants. His control is off. Its either mechanics or his elbow.
You watch other top-level QBs throw, they throw precisely and can pick on which side of the receiver they throw, high, low, etc etc. Probably to about a 6 inch square window. If given adequate time, they can find the open guy and put the ball where he can catch it and the DB can't.
But it seems that Palmer often makes a throw which makes the catch difficult.
Now, he doesn't get any favors from his receivers. NFL receivers should routinely make the difficult catch. Caldwell especially, Coles, and even sometimes Ochocinco don't seem to do that.

Struggling with Your Mortgage Payment?
Save Your Home
Mortgage Modification Programs are Available
Printable version - PDF
High-Resolution PDF for Reprinting
Stop living in fear of losing your home
If you are having financial difficulties - due to a job loss, a higher mortgage payment, or any other reason - you are not alone. The economic crisis has made it hard for many responsible homeowners to make ends meet. The good news is that many people who were finding it difficult to make their mortgage payment have been able to save their home, and you can too. You could lose your home if you ignore the problem and do nothing. Get in touch with a counselor and your servicer (the company to whom you send your monthly mortgage payment) today.
Your Servicer Wants to Help
Your servicer wants to help you keep your home. Many servicers implemented new loan modification programs in 2009 to assist homeowners experiencing financial difficulties by lowering their monthly mortgage payments. Plus, many servicers are participating in the government's Making Home Affordable Program and are working with non-profit counseling agencies through HOPE NOW.
Contact Your Servicer Today
Many servicers have recently added new mortgage modification programs for home loans. Call your servicer even if your request has been turned down before, as you might qualify under a new program. Be patient and persistent if you don't reach your servicer on the first try, as other homeowners are seeking help as well. If you don't know who services your loan or how to contact them, check your mortgage statement or look on-line at http://HopeNOW.com/index.php.
Apply for a Loan Modification
In a mortgage loan modification, you and your servicer agree to permanently change one or more of the mortgage's terms to make the payments more manageable for you. The changes could include reducing the interest rate, extending the term of the loan, forbear-ing (interest free) or forgiving principal, or a combination of these factors.
Save Money
A loan modification could lower your monthly mortgage payment by hundreds of dollars and save your home from foreclosure!

Written by Andreas Busch, email@example.com. Last updated 1 April 2004.
This HOWTO is a step by step guide for creating a Crystal Space application using KDevelop as your integrated development environment outside the Crystal Space source tree.
Open KDevelop and click on New from the Project menu. The KDevelop Application Wizard offers you special settings for the creation of dedicated GNOME or KDE/Qt applications, but the selection Terminal-C++ is usually sufficient for creating a new Crystal Space project (i.e. using OpenGL).
In the Generate settings dialog enter the Project name as well as the Project directory for your project files outside the Crystal Space tree. When you mark the checkbox generate sources and headers the Hello World 'main.cpp' and 'main.h' files are generated which can be used if you want to start from scratch. If you want to import source files to start with, leave it unchecked. The GNU-Standard-Files option copies the General Public License file 'COPYING' a dummy 'README' and 'INSTALL' file into the project tree.
Click Next and you will next be confronted with another dialog box.
If you want Version Control Support you can select SVN now and fill the required fields according to your SVN environment, otherwise leave it set to NONE.
The Next two pages are header templates for header '.h' and source '.cpp' files. Click Next when you're done here.
Now an almost empty window appears and you should click on Create to run an automake. After that you can click on Exit and do the relevant parts for using KDevelop with Crystal Space.
Click on Options in the Project menu and select Compiler Options. Add a new Configuration and call it CrystalSpace, then make sure to set the path back to the correct Build Directoy.
When you installed Crystal Space, the script 'cs-config' should have been placed in the 'bin/' installation directory, and this directory should be mentioned by your 'PATH' environment variable,so that you can invoke 'cs-config' as you would any other program simply by typing its name. If you did not install Crystal Space, then you may want to copy 'cs-config' into the top directory of your new project, or alter your 'PATH' variable so that it points at the directory containing 'cs-config' (the Crystal Space build directory, for instance). In the examples below which invoke 'cs-config', be sure to include the backticks in the fields CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in the Flags and Warnings tab for the 'cs-config' script to be executed properly, otherwise you will get an error message that your C-compiler cannot create executables. The CFLAGS field should contain '`./cs-config --cflags`', and CXXFLAGS should contain '`./cs-config --cxxflags`'.
The same applies to the field Additional flags in the Linker Flags tab. After '`cs-config --libs`' you may add the Crystal Space primary library 'crystalspace'; thus, the entire content of the Additional flags field might be '`./cs-config --libs crystalspace`'.
Now over to the Linker Options. Include your additional libraries here as needed. Many platforms will require '-lpthread' in this field.
In the Make Options dialog you need to set the include directory for
Crystal Space. Don't forget the backticks for automatic execution upon build.
The additional options field should contain
-I`./cs-config --includedir`.
Click on OK and the configure will re-run.
In the Compile Configuration you can now change from (Default) to CrystalSpace to set your compiler options. If you want to compile for different target platforms or optimized processor-types you can invoke Configure in the Build menu with different arguments. For example, '--host=i686-linux --build=i686-linux --target=i686-linux', instead of the 'i386-linux' default in KDevelop. Of course, you can choose other platforms as well.
In the Project menu you can now Add existing File(s) to your
project. Select the 'simple1.cpp' and 'simple1.h' files from the
Crystal Space code tree and add them to your project destination directory.
You may want to uncheck the
insert templates box to keep the files
These files can be found within the Crystal Space source code tree at the following location:
Alternately, you can type in your own Crystal Space program, but for the sake of this tutorial, using the existing 'simple1' application is easier.
The resulting KDevelop project session file 'kdevelopcs.kdevses' will look like this. (You do not need to edit this file by hand; it is shown here for illustrative purposes only.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE KDevPrjSession> <KDevPrjSession> <CompileConfigs> <CrystalSpace> <Architecture>i386</Architecture> <Platform>linux</Platform> <VPATHSubdir>/compile/kdevelopcs</VPATHSubdir> <CFLAGS>`./cs-config --cflags`</CFLAGS> <CPPFLAGS></CPPFLAGS> <CXXFLAGS>-O0 -g3 -Wall</CXXFLAGS> <AdditCXXFLAGS>`./cs-config --cxxflags`</AdditCXXFLAGS> <LDFLAGS>`./cs-config --libs crystalspace`</LDFLAGS> <ConfigureArgs>--build=i386-linux --host=i386-linux \ --target=i386-linux</ConfigureArgs> </CrystalSpace> </CompileConfigs> <LastCompileConfig>CrystalSpace</LastCompileConfig> <Mainframe MaximizeMode="1" /> <DocsAndViews NumberOfDocuments="1" > <Doc0 CursorPosLine="0" Type="KWriteDoc" NumberOfViews="1" \ CursorPosCol="0" FileName="/compile/kdevelopcs/kdevelopcs/main.cpp" > <View0 Top="0" Width="406" Attach="1" Height="328" Left="0" \ Focus="1" Type="KWriteView" MinMaxMode="2" /> </Doc0> </DocsAndViews> </KDevPrjSession>
The following is the content of the KDevelop project file 'kdevelopcs.kdevprj'. (Keep in mind that this file is created and updated automatically by KDevelop, so you do not need to manually change this file either.)

What do McDonald's, pop art and The Sting have in common? The answer might surprise you: These all-American symbols represent the Czech and Slovak influence on our culture. You can see the fingerprints of these central European peoples' descendants all over US society — from Czech-American burger baron Ray Kroc's golden arches to Slovak American actor Paul Newman's box-office blockbusters to the famous soup cans created by Andy Warhol (a Rusyn-American). Baseball hall of famer Stan Musial has Slovak roots; tennis star Martina Navrátilová and astronaut Eugene Cernan share Czech heritage. Even President George W. Bush's lineage leads back to the heart of Europe.
In all, nearly 3.5 million Americans claim Czech or Slovak ancestry — and if you count yourself among them, you're undoubtedly eager to celebrate the polka and pirohi in your past. But with your homeland's well-known historical and political complexities, how do you start finding your family tree? Make our tips a central part of your research strategy.

LA HABRA - No one in the large turnout of partisan fans can say that the La Habra High School boys soccer team didn't leave everything out on the field in the last few minutes of Friday's CIF-Southern Section Division 2 first-round playoff loss.
A flurry of shots by a host of La Habra players couldn't find the back of the net to tie the game and the Highlanders fell to visiting Lynwood, 2-1.
One shot in particular by Highlanders senior forward Sammy Lopez brought the crowd to their feet when he was all alone and missed on a shot in stoppage time, just outside the goal box as the ball sailed over the crossbar.
"It was a good first touch, but the bad touch was the hit and it just didn't go in," Lopez said.
Junior defender Kolby McInally also took a hard shot that missed, after halfback Robert Coronado knocked a free kick toward the goal that bounced right to McInally.
Forward Luis Felipe scored both goals for Lynwood (11-10-2), while sophomore halfback Ray Flores scored for the Highlanders.
"Yeah, it's a little disappointing," longtime La Habra coach Stephen Aanderud said. "We're young in many ways, including age-wise. We seem to get leads and lose them and we just sort of get down on ourselves, but next year we should be very good."
La Habra (12-7-2), which last won a CIF-SS soccer title in 2008, scored first to take a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute after senior fullback Bernie Hefner had a throw-in which ended up right in front of the goal. Flores, after the ball bobbled around, then headed in a nice goal for the early lead.
The Highlanders, who finished second in the Freeway League, missed on some scoring opportunities in trying to take a 2-0 lead.
Halfback Chris Stump chased down a long pass from midfield by junior halfback Josue Rodriguez, but Lynwood defenseman Frankie Salceda knocked away the hard shot in the attacking third.
The Knights tied the score in the 34th minute when Felipe knocked the ball through La Habra senior goalkeeper Joel Garcia's hands.
Felipe, who leads Lynwood in goals, also scored in the 50th minute for the Knights.

G.I. Joe Action Figures
In 1963, Hasbro, a toy company from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was on a mission. A group of its designers were borrowing guns and rifles from the National Guard and driving around with their trunks full of military weapons. They even had the gumption to call generals and request top-secret material.
What, exactly, were they up to? They wanted to make a product that would be similar to Mattel's Barbie, except one that would be just as popular with boys. Barbie, the 1/6-scale fashion doll for girls, was launched in 1959. The original dolls were sold wearing only a swimsuit and high heels, and wardrobe sets and accessories could be purchased separately. Because girls would get together to dress and play with their Barbie—and because this play time would inspire more purchases—sales were through the roof by 1963.
Of course, a product for boys could not be called a "doll." No, when Hasbro debuted its first G.I. Joe, a 12-inch-tall fully poseable figurine not entirely unlike a Barbie, in 1964, it was dubbed an "action figure."
The G.I. Joe action figure—whose name came from the 1945 film, "The Story of G.I. Joe," and the World War II slang for the typical serviceman "Government Issue Joe"—was presented as a rugged, powerful fighting man, with a deliberately generic face, scarred to prove his indifference to pain. Accessory packs for all branches of the U.S. Armed Services were available for purchase, and its toy weaponry was impressively authentic in detail. G.I. Joe could be a combat-ready soldier carrying a bayonet, an undersea frogman sent to explode a ship, or a Marine landing on Iwo Jima.
These toys were a hit with Baby Boomer children, partially due to their emotional connection to their family members who had served as soldiers, pilots, and sailors in World War II. The boys could imagine themselves going on the missions fought by their fathers, uncles, and grandfathers—in that way, G.I. Joe helped the generations bond.
In addition, 1964 was a timely year to introduce new military toys: The United States was stockpiling weapons for the Cold War and growing more entangled in the conflict in Vietnam. Thanks to the growing pro-military fervor, fake guns and small plastic soldiers were hugely popular at the time. Hasbro's new toy struck a chord.
One of the company's most clever promotional moves was to encourage boys to join its G.I. Joe Club, which had kids forming "Backyard Patrol" groups that required authentic access...
By 1968, however, as the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War peaked and the conflict became increasingly unpopular at home, G.I. Joe toys started to fall out of favor. In 1969, Hasbro declared that G.I. Joe had retired from the military and would now be an "Adventurer," with some weapons but many more accessories meant for exploring deserts, jungles, and even the ocean floor.
The Adventurer G.I. Joe was a lot like Indiana Jones, rescuing mummies and gilded artifacts, and wrestling with wild beasts like bears, gorillas, and lions. As a part of a new "Adventure Team," this post-combat G.I. Joe, with his fuzzy "life-like" hair and beard, was on a mission to prevent world-wide disaster. The new look, direction, and "AT" logo made G.I. Joe a sensation all over again. In 1974, the action figures got "Kung Fu" grip hands, so the Joes could more easily hold weapons and adventuring equipment.
As the price of plastic rose, G.I. Joe got a new figure in 1976—a smooth, lightweight "muscle body," wearing blue swim trunks. This money-saving change didn't go over well with the public, which was losing interest in G.I. Joe, despite the company's attempts to remake him as the Atomic Man Mike Power, Bulletman, and one of the Intruders.
The year 1977 marked the end of the 12-inch G.I. Joe. Instead, Hasbro offered an 8-inch Super G.I. Joe, with the same face, grip, and muscular body of its predecessor. It was Hasbro's attempt to enter the market established by Mego, which made wildly successful 8-inch figures of DC and Marvel comic-book superheroes. However, the venture failed to take hold.
It wasn't until 1982 that Hasbro launched another G.I. Joe line, this time with 3 ¾-inch posable figures similar to Kenner's Star Wars figurines, which were selling like hotcakes.
The new G.I. Joe was rebranded as "A Real American Hero." Instead of being an anonymous fighting man, each pocket-sized figure had its own identity and exciting code name, like Snake Eyes, Stalker, Short Fuse, Breaker, Zap, Flash, Scarlett (a woman), Rock 'n Roll, and Grunt. The '80s G.I. Joe team also had a new enemy army, the Cobra Command led by Cobra and Cobra Officer.
For 13 years, this new incarnation of G.I. Joe flourished on the market, spawning companion toy military vehicles and aircraft, as well as new heroes and enemies. These G.I. Joes became the heroes of a popular children's TV cartoon, a comic-book series, and several video games.
In 1995, Hasbro hoped to revive declining interest in G.I. Joe with larger 5-inch figurines called Sgt. Savage and His Screaming Eagles, who were also featured in a new animated TV show. When that failed, the company tried and stumbled again with G.I. Joe Extreme, modeled after popular superhero action-figure lines.
The 12-inch G.I. Joe action figures were produced again in limited numbers in the 1990s, usually in special deals with Target. In 1992, Hasbro began releasing limited-edition 12-inch versions popular '80s G.I. Joe characters. In 1994, it reintroduced the generic 12-inch G.I. Joe, and late in 1995, the "Classic Collection" came out with a figure similar to the 1976 "muscle body."
A new reproduction line was started in 1996 by original G.I. Joe designer Don Levine and John Michlig, in collaboration with Chronicle Books. These 12-inch figurines were sold under the Masterpiece brand, but were too expensive to be purchased as mere playthings—these were instant collectibles. In 2004, classic 1964 figurines were released again.
The vintage 12-inch G.I. Joes are the most sought-after for collectors. For example, a rare G.I. Nurse from 1967, the earliest female G.I. Joe ever made, recently sold at an auction for more than $6,000.

Springfield School To Cut Bus Service For High Schoolers
Springfield Local Schools say high schoolers will be on their own for transportation in the fall. Toledo News Now reports the district will cut bussing for students in grade 9 through 12 this coming school year. The district says the cut was made because the levy that was on the August 5th ballot failed.
The district says PENTA students will still receive transportation, but the cut does include area non-public school students as well.
Springfield will also close its elementary buildings one hour after the end of the school day. The buildings will no longer be available for after-school activities and meetings and other activities.
Another levy has already been announced for the November ballot.

n., from L. magister + tonam: the product you want to purchase for thirty-eight easy monthly payments of $429.93. The tonemaster is a small rectangular box covered in groundhog hide that enables its owner to accomplish such death-defying feats as: 1) riding an alpaca and saying a Tridentine mass at the same time; 2) ordering a large bucket of hot wings while a live performance of Monteverdi's Vespers comes out of a random bodily orifice; 3) increasing the value of your otherwise worthless life and ensuring that you will be able to see during the Three Days of Darkness by the miraculous FedEx delivery of Marian herbs (including St. John's Wart) and Sts. Cajetan and David of Wales medals exactly forty-two minutes before those Three Days of Darkness...which FedEx delivery will also include a nice spatula so you can make those brownie cakes you like so much, you slutty bitch, you.

View: Steven Brooks criminal complaint
Video: Arrest of former Nevada Assemblyman Steven Brooks (Warning: Contains expletives.)
Photo gallery: Steven Brooks, former Nevada assemblyman, arrested after chase
Related stories: Former Nevada assemblyman arrested after police chase | Nevada Assembly ousts embattled Steven Brooks | Historic expulsion vote pending in Nevada Assembly
Former Nevada Assemblyman Steven Brooks, who was arrested last week after a high-speed chase in the High Desert, pleaded not guilty to three felony counts and one misdemeanor this afternoon during court proceedings in Barstow.
Brooks, 41, was arraigned on the charges via closed-circuit video in Barstow Superior Court.
The charges include one count of evading an officer, resisting arrest and throwing objects at a police vehicle -- all felonies, according to the criminal complaint filed today in Superior Court. Brooks is also charged with one misdemeanor count of assault on a police animal.
Brooks returns to court April 9. If he is convicted as charged, Brooks could face five years and four months in state prison, according to District Attorney spokesman Chris Lee.
Brooks became the first person in Nevada history to be voted out of office by his colleagues in the Legislature last week after they cited concerns for their safety and a bizarre series of public incidents.
Brooks was arrested Thursday near Victorville after police say he attacked a police dog with a wrench and had a struggle with officers. The chase followed a call from a tow truck driver who argued with a motorist about the cost of fixing a flat tire on the freeway shoulder in Barstow, police said.
It's the third time Brooks has been arrested this year, and it came just hours after his colleagues deemed the Democrat from North Las Vegas to be too dangerous to serve out his term.
Brooks was first arrested Jan. 19 after he allegedly threatened other legislators, including Assembly Democratic Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, and a police search turned up a gun and ammunition in his car.
He was arrested again less than a week after being sworn into office, on Feb. 10, following a domestic dispute at his estranged wife's home where he allegedly tried to grab an officer's gun. Brooks faces a court hearing in May in Las Vegas on one felony and three lesser charges in that incident.
More details to come.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Who has wondered about paying for college??? Show of hands…everyone's hands should be in the air!! Okay so if you are anything like me you probably started thinking about it while you were pregnant. So when I was offered the opportunity to review Going to College and Paying for it Online Video and Workbook from College Common Sense I was jumping for joy!
With hubby working on his Bachelor's degree and me thinking about going back to school and 2 kiddos who one day will get to the age of going to college, when I think of the cost I can feel the hives popping out. Thankfully Denise Ames the creator and author of College Common Sense has 10 years of experience working with college admissions and financial aid process to help us along.
You might be thinking, I have plenty of time and you know, I thought the same thing until I started asking the girls about future plans. Leann wants to go into the medical field and Amber well she wants to be a performer. Have you ever checked on the prices of what it cost for medical school??? Not to mention Performance Arts schools!!
The first thing I did was signed up for the free lesson plans and free newsletter. Then I started checking out the Going to College and Paying for it Online Video and Workbook (which cost $25.00 for 12 month log-in access or you can order the DVD for $50 + $5 Shipping & Handling). This program consist of 6 videos that last about 20 mins each that includes a PDF worksheet. We started our All About Me Journals and the Scholarship Binder.
Video 1 – The Big Picture
Video 2 – How Financial Aid Works
Video 3 – All About the Free Money
Video 4 – The System That Works
Video 5 – You in the Process
Video 6 – Pull It All Together
Age range: All ages, but if you have younger kids I would hold off having them watch the videos. If you have High Schoolers, I would highly recommend this program. If you have a Middle Schooler, this is a great program to get them thinking on the future and helps them take charge of their future choices and if you have an Elementary student, this is a great way to open the discuss of college. The worksheets and the videos might be a bit much and are geared more for the parents. I adapted the worksheets for my 7 year old (because she needs to do the same thing as her older sister).
There are many opportunities out there so that your children don't have start with a mountain of debt. Let Denise guide you through this somewhat scary process. And don't put it off because you think you have plenty of time, cause before you know it you will be filling out applications and pulling your hair out wondering where the money is coming from to pay for it all.
Check out what the rest of the Crew is saying about College Common Sense!
Wishing you many Blessings

BRUSSELS, 3 October 2012 – Kandeh K. Yumkella, the Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) today said that the partnership with the EU aimed to bring economic opportunities and prosperity for all.
Yumkella held meetings in Brussels with EU Commissioner for Development, Andris Piebalgs, and other officials to review EU-UNIDO cooperation. EU's External Action Service was represented by Mara Marinaki, Managing Director for UN and Multilateral Affairs.
"We are reviewing our strategic partnership, taking stock of our rich joint cooperation in various countries and regions, and discussing the future. This is essential in order to fully realize the potential of our cooperation for the benefit of the poorest, and, in turn, for the benefit of all of us. Our aim must be more economic opportunities, and more prosperity for all," said Director-General Yumkella.
He noted that in the last six years, cooperation between the EU and UNIDO had grown substantially. "Currently, it amounts to more than one hundred million Euros invested in joint programmes, benefitting more than 70 developing countries and their regional institutions," said Yumkella.
"Our most successful cooperation lies in Africa, particularly in West Africa, where we have been working together to strengthen regional integration, while creating the local capacity to deal with standards and norms, and to produce quality agro-industrial products that meet food safety standards and create sustainable, local jobs. We have jointly implemented the same approach in Asia and the Caribbean."
Commissioner Piebalgs said: "The EU and UNIDO should work together with the clear aim of providing essential elements for sustainable and long lasting development of the post 2015 MDG world. We share the same vision of how development policies should be applied to generate prosperity. We have a sound and credible track record of our cooperation. Let us translate our shared vision into visible results. Our commitment to that collaboration will not wane as we pursue poverty eradication goals hand in hand with our UN partners."
Yumkella also said that many joint programmes are now entering a second phase, which demonstrates the solid partnership on the ground between UNIDO and the EU in support of developing countries and their productive sectors. "We have initiated innovative approaches that are upgrading industrial sectors, structuring local entrepreneurs into clusters, and establishing vocational centres. These are precious experiences that can guide us in the future," said Yumkella.
He added that UNIDO had created unique public goods that can be utilized to design new interventions by the EU and UNIDO, and by other development partners. He cited, as examples, a database that maps polluted sites in more than 30 countries, indicating the imminence of risks for the local population and providing information on the cost and nature of the remediation; and the investment surveys in 20 African countries that provide information about more than 7,000 enterprises and the quality investments that stimulate the long-term development of local small and medium enterprises.
Yumkella also commended the EU's support for UNIDO's Green Industry Platform and the Sustainable Energy for All initiative launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Commissioner Piebalgs was a member of the high-level group that designed the initiative, and has agreed to serve on the new Advisory group to be chaired by Secretary-General Ban and World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim.
"UNIDO connects 174 countries on sustainable energy and industry. This is our leverage. We help our Member States design smart industrial strategies that work in a globalized world and that can create jobs, while preserving the planet. We also support them with the implementation of their policies, while facilitating the transfer of the great wealth of experience that exists in the world, particularly in Europe," said Yumkella.
The EU is currently preparing its multi-annual financial framework for 2014-2020, while the global community is addressing the post-2015 development agenda. "On our side, we are reviewing our programme with our Member States in order to design our future in accordance with the evolving framework for inclusive and sustainable development," said Yumkella.

Mia Love Appears Poised For An Election Rematch
Although she's not officially announced it, Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love has told a group of Utah Republicans, she plans to run against Jim Matheson, for Congress, again next year.
Love lost a very close election to the 6-term Matheson, last fall.
She's remained in the GOP spotlight since then, and is said to be gathering advisors and strategists to face the Democrat next year.
Love made her comments to a group of Weber County Republicans.

Romney's lying. He's not spinning the truth to his advantage; he's not hiding in a gray area between fact and fiction; he's just lying. The law hasn't been "gutted"; the work requirementhasn't been "dropped." Stations that air this ad are disseminating an obvious, demonstrable lie.
All Obama did is agree to Republican governors' request for flexibility. That's it. Indeed, perhaps the most jaw-dropping aspect of this is that Romney himself, during his one gubernatorial term, asked for the same kind of flexibility on welfare law that Obama agreed to last month. Romney, in other words, is attacking the president for doing what Romney asked the executive branch to do in 2005.

Separate water and sewer bills coming to tens of thousands
(Cleveland)-- Customers of Cleveland Water and the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) will now be receiving separate bills for water and sewer service. Cleveland Water chief of public affairs Jason Wood tells WTAM 1100 this separation will create simpler bills for customers, and provide each organization with additional space to share critical information about the services they provide. Customers will not see an increase in their bills as a result of this transition.
"Separate bills are part of Cleveland Water's on-going efforts to become more transparent and provide better service to our customers," said Wood. "These simpler bills will help customers by providing a better understanding of the services and charges on their bills, in addition to eliminating confusion about who to call in case of an emergency."
Customers who currently receive services from both Cleveland Water and NEORSD will receive two separate bills with two account numbers. The Cleveland Water bill will be blue. The NEORSD bill will be green. The two bills will arrive in separate envelopes, about the same time of the month as they currently do, so customers will not have to adjust their budgets.
If customers have questions about their Cleveland Water or NEORSD account or bill, they can still call 216-664-3130 to receive service. After the separation, customers will also have the same convenient payment options, including paying by mail, phone, on-line, in person or via automatic withdrawal. Because the accounts have separate numbers, customers who pay via mail will need to send in two checks in the return envelopes provided with the separate bills. Customers using their own banking institutions to pay bills will need to set up their Cleveland Water bill and NEORSD bill as separate payees with their respective account numbers. Customers enrolled in EFT/EZ pay will automatically be enrolled for the NEORSD charges.
Customers who receive sewer service from their local community will not see any change to their current bill.
Cleveland Division of Water has about 420,000 customers, and about 285,000 of those receive sewer service from NEORSD.
