When is it news, or is that dirt?
Page Tools
There may not be a dirt unit in Canberra, but that doesn't mean that the shovels are idle, writes Christian Kerr.
Liberal staffer Ian Hanke makes a great pantomime villain - tall, lean, shaved head, a scar on his chin, a fag in one hand, a drink in another and a line in patter that would do any East End villain proud. But does he run a dirt unit?
On Tuesday, John Howard told Brisbane radio: "There is no dirt unit." That doesn't mean, however, that dirt isn't a currency of politics. It just needs to be put in context.
The recent allegations surrounding Mark Latham may well be nothing more than sour grapes from old Labor foes back home in Liverpool. But the local branches are the building blocks of our political parties.
Gossip, rumour and innuendo swirl round the system like smog - from the branches up. And if dirt decides an outcome at a branch annual meeting, then it can feed up through all levels of the political process.
Dirt seeps through the cracks at all levels of our political system, into the Canberra press gallery and, sometimes, daily reporting.
But are there dirt units? No. Mark Latham made an error on Monday when he suggested such a body existed in the Howard Government. No administration would be so foolish. He created an entity John Howard could immediately deny existed - and blunted his own attack.
What there are, however, are press secretaries wandering the corridors of the Canberra gallery with their message of the day - and a stab at some opponent. There are other staffers compiling lists of quotes from rival parties looking for the slightest inconsistency, reading the biographies of retired politicians searching for barbs that might be thrown back at serving colleagues. I know. I've done both jobs.
Then there are organisations like the Government Members Secretariat. The Prime Minister didn't really say last week what the secretariat or its boss, Gerry Wheeler, does - but he did comment that he knows Wheeler well and that he had "not heard anything that would support" the claims made against him and Hanke.
Hanke and Wheeler do not run a dirt unit. I know them both and like them. They're talented, competent men - who show no quarter to their political opponents.
Serious questions should be asked about the secretariat. It is nothing but a taxpayer-funded propaganda unit, designed to maximise the generous postage and printing allowances Labor and Liberal governments have given MPs to help them hold their seats.
The secretariat exists to maximise the political benefits of incumbency, yet is funded by taxpayers. It is under the control of the Government whip, Jim Lloyd. This immediately removes accountability. Unlike a minister, the whip cannot be hauled before a Senate Estimates Committee. This line of command is an innovation - but the secretariat is nothing new. The Hawke and Keating governments had the Australian National Media Liaison Service. Its acronym, ANiMaLS, tells you all you need to know about its role. And it replaced a propaganda and campaigning creation of the Fraser years, the Government Information Unit.
Political dirt collecting is nothing new and neither are some tactics in handling it in the media. One of the first cases is one of the more blatant. John Norton was a muckraking journalist who arrived in Sydney in 1884. He ended up editing Truth - and joining the NSW Legislative Council. By the time he died in 1916 there was virtually no form of political, media or criminal activity he had not indulged in.
Alfred Deakin, Australia's second prime minister, was very different. That didn't stop him reporting anonymously on Australian politics for the London Morning Post - even when prime minister.
Political dirt can be more upfront. In April 1939, Earle Page of the Country Party tipped a bucket on Robert Menzies because he had not volunteered for service in World War I. The divisions that created ultimately ended Menzies' first term as prime minister and lead to the Curtin and Chifley governments.
There are the stories of the Chifley press secretary who seemed to enjoy remarkable luck in the poker and two-up schools that flourished in Parliament House in those days. The losers wondered if his fortune was related to his generosity in feeding the gallery.
More serious is Document H in the Petrov papers, a dossier on Canberra identities given to the Russian embassy by one of Labor leader Doc Evatt's staff. There are the Menzies stories, too. Canberra old-timers still swear claims about a liaison between the Warden of the Cinque Ports and the wife of a media magnate are true.
John Gorton yarns are legion. Claims about Billy McMahon's sexuality have never gone away and then there's the Whitlam government.
Labor returned the favour in opposition. Former finance minister Peter Walsh had a manila folder labelled "Dirt" he liked to brandish.
Second-guessing your opponents is a vital part of politics. Exposing hypocrisy is a vital role of the media. The gossip and innuendo that swirls around all levels of politics is unavoidable.
Unless it has been carefully managed and spun, virtually all news begins with hearsay. But when is hearsay news?
That's the balancing act media have to manage. No wonder reporters slip.

Cerberus appears to be indifferent to public relations and to its public image.
Based thousands of miles away in New York City, Cerberus owns Freedom Group.
Fiat injected capital, imagination, and real auto talent—three things Cerberus lacked.
The Financial Times reported that CALSTRS had expressed concern with Cerberus about the investment.
Same goes for a private-equity firm called Cerberus Capital.
A Cerberus guards the entrance to the andarun, but 319 he allowed Mirza to accompany me.
Now that she had conquered that most savage Cerberus, all would be pleasant with her.
This was designed to appease the fury of Cerberus, the infernal doorkeeper, and to procure a safe and quiet entrance.
No, I am the public, and this ignoramus—this Cerberus—won't let me in!
This wholesome statute had at least the effect of changing a Hydra into a Cerberus.

Hi all,
Apologies for this, I can see another thread addressing the same issue but unfortunately the solution didn't work for me, evidently I'm doing something incorrectly.
I am attempting to change the placeholder text in my search box to "'Search by Ingredient, Recipe Name or Category'". I have used some code that Prasanna provided
function graphene_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
$strings = array(
'Search' => 'Search by Ingredient, Recipe Name or Category',
if ( ! empty( $strings[$original] ) ) {
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
$translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
return $translated;
add_filter( 'gettext', 'graphene_filter_gettext', 10, 3 ); ?>
I've read both of the related threads as directed by Syahir (as well as a number of articles found on Google) . I'm hoping you may be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Britain's funding systems are seen as a model for reform.
A Chinese court has sentenced a university professor found guilty of "separatism" to life in prison, The New York Times reported. The Times said that the sentence is the most severe in recent years to a dissident. Ilham Tohti, the professor, teaches economics at Minzu University and is an advocate for ethnic Uighurs. In 2013, he had been expected to take a visiting position at Indiana University at Bloomington, but Chinese authorities blocked him from leaving the country.
Thousands of university students in Hong Kong boycotted classes on Monday to demonstrate against Chinese government restrictions on voting rights, The New York Times reported. Organizers said that more than 13,000 students attended a Monday rally to protest a proposed change to election rules in which a nominating committee loyal to the leadership in Beijing would be able to screen candidates for the Hong Kong city government's top post. Hong Kong, a former British colony, was returned to Chinese rule in 1997 and operates as a semi-autonomous region.
Country steps up its recruitment of international students with a goal of attracting more skilled immigrants.
A coalition of Israel advocacy organizations concerned by what they describe as the prevalence of anti-Israel programming at federally-funded Middle East studies centers are lobbying for changes in the Title VI program that would 1) "[r]equire recipients of Title VI funds to establish grievance procedures to address complaints that programs are not reflecting diverse perspectives and a wide range of views" and 2) "[r]equire the U.S. Department of Education to establish a formal complaint-resolution process similar to that in use to enforce Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
The full joint statement, signed by 10 groups, is included as an appendix to a new report on "The Morass of Middle East Studies" issued by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law. The statement also references a paper produced by the AMCHA Initiative that reports on anti-Semitic activity and an anti-Israel bias in the programming at the University of California at Los Angeles's Center for Near Eastern Studies. The Brandeis Center and the AMCHA Initiative are both parties to the statement, as are Accuracy in Academia, the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, the Endowment for Middle East Truth, Middle East Forum, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, and the Zionist Organization of America.
The groups behind the statement argue that Middle East studies centers are not being held accountable in regards to a provision of the Higher Education Act requiring Title VI grant applicants to present "an explanation of how the activities funded by the grant will reflect diverse perspectives and a wide range of views and generate debate on world regions and international affairs." They argue that in using tax dollars "to present biased, anti-American, anti-Israel views in their outreach programs," the federally-funded centers are not serving the national interest. They maintain that, without reforms, Congress should consider cutting Title VI funding to Middle East studies centers altogether.
In an emailed statement, Amy W. Newhall, the executive director of the Middle East Studies Association, rejected such "politically motivated attacks on scholars and academic institutions" as a serious threat to free speech, academic freedom and the role of colleges as sites of free and open discussion.
"MESA resolutely opposes all forms of hate speech and discrimination, including anti-Semitism," Newhall wrote. "It supports prompt and forceful action in response to anti-Semitic incidents on college and university campuses."
"However, MESA is concerned that some of the reports issued by partisan political groups based outside academia may actually weaken efforts to combat anti-Semitism by portraying all criticism of Israeli policies as a form of anti-Semitism or as 'anti-Israel.' Their real goal seems to be to shut down open discussion of issues of public concern by demonizing academic and other critics of Israel, Zionism, and U.S. policy in the Middle East, in many cases by tarring them with the brush of anti-Semitism. They are even willing to threaten federal funding for university-based Middle East studies centers, which have a long and distinguished history of providing the United States with thousands of people trained in the languages, politics, cultures and histories of this critical region."
UPDATE: UCLA's media relations office issued a statement saying that the university "remains dedicated to complying with all federal laws and respecting the free and open exchange of ideas representing diverse viewpoints. Academic units all across our campus are constantly working to provide programming that exposes our students and the public to a vast range of perspectives and topics. In fact, three centers at UCLA focus on Middle Eastern Affairs and regularly provide programming on Israel, among other topics: the Center for Near Eastern Studies, the Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies and the Center for Middle East Development. Israeli academics, students, speakers and artists are regularly part of programming at UCLA. We recognize many subjects may engender passionate debate and difficult conversations and we encourage civil dialogue that appreciates the paramount importance of free expression, academic freedom and a respectful exchange of ideas."
Can elite university advance through massive new development with more research space and housing for academics, but without more undergraduates?
The National Association for College Admission Counseling has released a guide for colleges that are considering working with agents in international student recruitment. The report emphasizes the risks of institutions engaging with third-party agents and ethical concerns about paying agents per-capita commissions -- particularly in cases in which students and parents are not aware of the financial relationships between a given institution and an agent -- concluding that, "For these reasons, NACAC does not endorse the practice of commission-based international student recruitment." But NACAC does now permit the practice (even if it doesn't endorse it) and for those institutions that choose to work with recruitment agents, the report provides advice on such topics as identifying and vetting agents, providing training, and monitoring agency performance. Among other things, the guide recommends that institutions list all of their agency partners on their website and that they contractually prohibit agents from "double-dipping" by charging students for services related to advising and application assistance. The guidance also recommends that contracts stipulate that agencies must disclose to students and their parents the fact that they receive compensation from the institutions that they represent.
As Australia prepares to deregulate the setting of tuition prices, experts there warn that universities will begin offering cut-price "scholarships" while maintaining high sticker prices as markers of quality.
A new paper on creating global learning experiences at historically black colleges and universities finds that resource constraints significantly inhibit internationalization efforts. The paper, from the American Council on Education, also emphasizes the central role senior leaders play in creating global learning environments and the need for a broadly shared understanding of the rationale for internationalization efforts.
"The challenges HBCUs face in internationalization won't be unfamiliar to other institutions, but the unique environments of HBCUs made some of the challenges seem more pronounced," Gailda P. Davis, the report author and ACE's associate director of inclusive excellence, said in a press release.
Professor fired by Israeli university in West Bank explains why he feels allied with the controversial scholar denied a job by the University of Illinois.

Hilary Swank not divorced yet
Hilary Swank says she's still trying to save her marriage to Chad Lowe, even though they just recently announced their separation. She told Access Hollywood during the Golden Globes: "We're still trying to save it. It's not over, we're not divorced. We've been together for over 13 years, and there's a lot of love there. We're still married."
It's nice to see that not all Hollywood couples give up on their marriage at the first sign of trouble. I think the secret is to stay as far away from Angelina Jolie as humanly possible. I read in a scientific magazine that just being within 100 feet of her causes men to murder their wives and throw themselves at her feet. And that's usually pretty bad for marriages.

McDaniel highlights women as agents of change
The McDaniel Women's Leadership Network presents the conversation and panel discussion about and by women who are making a difference at 7:30 p.m. March 26 on campus in McDaniel Lounge. The event is free and open to the public.
Keynote speaker Julie Mercer brings to the discussion her experiences with change in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors. Managing director of the international executive recruiting firm Columbia Consulting Group, Mercer serves on numerous corporate and community boards, including the McDaniel College Board of Trustees and, as board chair, the YMCA of Central Maryland. She's been named one of Maryland's "Top 100 Women" by The Daily Record for three of the past six years and was one of Girl Scouts of Central Maryland's Distinguished Women in 2003.
The panelists represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences as catalysts of change. Artist Chanan Delivuk is a McDaniel senior who is already using her talents to change lives. She taught art at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic last summer and frequently teaches at the Westminster Boys and Girls Club.
Vice President of Communications for ATK Mission Systems, Tracy Imm '87 has been successful in a variety of traditionally male-dominated industries including financial services, nuclear energy and now aerospace and defense. She says that being a woman and a change agent has helped her keep her sanity.
McDaniel Sociology Professor Linda Semu encourages her students to look at global problems and focus on what each of them, as individuals, can do to help alleviate them. She serves on the academic support network for the non-profit Raising Malawi, which is working to help children – many of them homeless orphans – in Semu's home country.
A consultant in non-violence and conflict resolution, Pam Zappardino '71 is a co-founder of the Ira and Mary Zepp Center for Nonviolence and Peace Education. Winner of the 2007 Alumna of the Year award, Zappardino teaches Peace Psychology at McDaniel.
Moderating the panel discussion is Deborah Vance, assistant professor of communication at McDaniel, whose research interests include the interplay of media, culture and identity.
The McDaniel Women's Leadership Network is a group of alumnae, students and friends who are committed to advancing women as organizational and philanthropic leaders at the College and beyond.

CHATTANOOGA – Penn sent two wrestlers to the podium at a very loaded Southern Scuffle, with sixth-place finisher Lorenzo Thomas leading the way. He was joined on the podium by eighth-place finisher Caleb Richardson as the Quakers kicked off the 2014 portion of their season against a field likely to resemble the one many Penn grapplers hope to see in March at the NCAA Championships.
Caleb Richardson was a revelation for the Quakers at 125 pounds, garnering national notoriety with wins over multiple top-ranked opponents. After a convincing 6-0 win over No. 4 seed and national No. 7 Corey Keener on Day One, Richardson rebounded from a frustrating 4-3 loss in the quarterfinals to American's No. 5 seed and national No. 9 David Terao defeat No. 6 seed Anthony Zanetta of Pitt, 9-7, in the Round of 12 to place. Richardson had four takedowns in the match, scoring twice in the first period to build a 4-1 lead. A takedown midway through the third period provided the separation needed to stave of Zanetta. In the Seventh Place Match, Richardson allowed three backpoints early in the second period, and couldn't recover to former Blair Academy teammate Evan Silver in a 7-1 loss.
No. 5 seed and national No. 9 Lorenzo Thomas wrestled to sixth place at 184 pounds, posting a 3-3 record in the tournament. All of his losses were to ranked opponents, including No. 1 seed and national No. 1 Ed Ruth of Penn State in the semifinals. Thomas was able to hang with the two-time defending national champion in the first period, trailing 7-3 after three minutes – notching a reversal along the way – but Ruth picked up his 84th consecutive win by racking up the points in the third period en route to a 22-7 win. In the sixth place match, Thomas allowed a takedown late in the first period after No. 2 seed Kevin Steinhaus of Minnesota secured a body lock. Thomas was able to get back in the match after a full ride in the second period, but two takedowns from Steinhaus in the third were the difference. The highlights for Thomas were his team-high seventh pin in the second round on Day One, and a decision over No. 4 seed Matt McCutcheon of Penn State in the quarterfinals.
As a team, the Quakers finished 19th with 31 points.

Telstra plans legal action if the government supports calls by rivals
When asked if he'd abandoned previous Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo's combative strategy of taking the federal government to court, Mr Thodey said it remained a weapon in Telstra's arsenal.
"If they chose to invest in Australia as we did they would be in a different position," he said. "If we believe that we haven't got a fair outcome against the law we would take action, as we are in seeking clarification on interpretations today with the ACCC.
"We have invested enormous amounts of money and I think our shareholders would be rightly upset if there was any favouritism of anybody else. It's about . . . making sure things are just and lawful."
Telstra head of corporate affairs
"If you regulate you undermine that because then you're saying 'you don't need to invest, you can just get a regulatory benefit' and you're going to ruin the incentives that made what our industry is in Australia today."
The comments hark back to 2007 when relations between Telstra and the Coalition Government were at their lowest point. The telco sued then-Communications Minister Helen Coonan over her decision to award Optus a contract to roll out mobile towers in rural areas. Optus is currently lobbying to win a $100 million government contract to build mobile towers in regional Australia.
Let telcos strike deals with Facebook, Google
Mr Thodey spoke with The Australian Financial Review on the sidelines of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which is the global telecommunications industry's biggest annual gathering. Despite tensions over its mobile network, Mr Thodey said the renegotiation of its $11 billion deal with NBN Co over access to its copper network was on track. He called on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to allow Telstra and other telcos to strike deals that allow preferential broadband speeds for companies such as Skype and WhatsApp willing to pay extra.
US telecommunications providers AT&T, Verizon and Comcast have all made similar agreements in recent months and Optus is set to trial such services later this year.
The ACCC has previously been wary of any agreement that allows telecommunications networks to favour one type of content over another.
"If I want to do a special arrangement with Google then that's a commercial decision I make," Mr Thodey said. "As long as you the consumer know that, it should be fine.
"I think it'd be fair [if Telstra had a deal with Google that gave its users better mobile network quality than Facebook's] . . . because that's a commercial decision."
But he said calls by SingTel global chief executive Chua Sock Koong for regulators to intervene and encourage OTT players to pay operators for the use of their networks were wrong.
"We don't agree with SingTel because we don't need regulatory help in this area," he said. "I am very strongly of the [view] you should let the market be the arbiter and that regulation should only step in if there's a fundamental failure in markets that disadvantages consumers.
"I have no criticisms of over-the-top players and I think they've been great for our industry and our challenge is … how we benefit from that incredible demand."

Effective Grammar Practice
by ~Bob Proctor~
Effective grammar practice is not something that is usually done well in language classes, nor by language learners themselves. This is one reason why the rates of school age kids and adults picking up a second language are so poor world wide. I have seen so many people practice grammar with such phrases like "I am going to; she is going to; he is going to; they are going to" etc . Whilst this has some merit, the reality is that its usefulness for most is limited.
The human brain works best when it can identify with situations and when there are links made to what is already known. So instead of the above or what grammar books might give you as examples, it is a good idea to always personalise the examples.
For eg, "I am going to the movies this afternoon with Grace. She is going with me. Rob and Jo are not going with us as they are busy." etc
The other important consideration for you to maximise the chances of learning language so you will be able to use it, is to distinguish it from other tenses that may be confusing you.
"I have gone to the market with my friend so I can't help you"
(Where/when are you saying that….and who are you saying to?)
How is that different to:
"I am walking to the market with my friend so I can't help you"
(Where/when are you are saying that….and who are you saying to?)
"I will go the market with my friend so I can't help you"
(Where/when are you are saying that….and who are you saying to?)
If you are not sure of the differences, you can get clarity about your problem when you are VERY clear what you are trying to solve. Like the above problem for example. These are very clear examples on which you can do research. My suggestion is that you put up your antenna so that when you are reading or listening to people you hear these forms. Be very observant of the context and listen very carefully to the meaning. This way you can become more effective in your grammar practice as the language you use attempts to be a reflection of what you think, see and hear. This way you are actively engaged in getting as a good a match in what you say to what you are thinking and feeling, at the same time as working on the forms of the language.
Of course you can check a grammar book, but learning to listen better ( and the above is an example of focussed listening) and being more attentive will help you enormously in your quest to become a better language learner.
If you want to look at other examples of how you could improve your practice there are other examples I have provided here as well as in a post on I wrote on how you could improve your grammar by reading. The important thing to remember is that to make your grammar effective you need to do a whole lot more than do the kinds of grammar exercises you see in books or courses. You need to ensure that the language you are speaking is your own!

Outtakes From Kate Upton's Photoshoot With Terry Richardson Show Lots Of Nip
Kate Upton is hot. She is also everywhere. So are her breasts, which are often the focal point of her various photoshoots, but usually her nipples (nipples take a photo from SFW to NSFW for some reason) are covered. I imagine this is very frustrating for pervy photographer Terry Richardson, as that guy never met a nipple he didn't want to uncover and photograph. And while some of his racier photos may never make it to print, he's always happy to post those outtakes to his personal website, which is how I came to become quite familiar with Upton's nipples this morning. NSFW versions after the jump, if you're interested.

Sorry for unwelcome news
Page Tools
New York: The CBS television network has apologised for breaking into its popular prime-time drama CSI: NY for a special report on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's death, blaming an "overly aggressive" producer.
The report cut off the ending of the popular forensics drama, prompting a flood of viewer complaints.
The network said the episode would be repeated the next day.
The report came just five minutes before local news broadcasts in the East and Midwest.
ABC and NBC waited until the local news to break the story; in the West, NBC ran a "crawl" with the news at the bottom of the screen.
"An overly aggressive CBS News producer jumped the gun with a report that should have been offered to local stations for their late news," the network said in a statement. "We sincerely regret the error."
CBS News spokeswoman Sandy Genelius declined to identify the producer or say whether the person faced disciplinary action.

By Steven Wine, AP Sports Writer
DAVIE, Fla. The biggest challenge Jason Taylor confronts each week tends to stand well above 6 feet and weigh 300 pounds or more.
Taylor has mastered those matchups with offensive linemen so well he was chosen NFL defensive player of the year in 2006.
The award raises another, less tangible challenge for Taylor: how to deal with success.
"You just have to stay hungry," the Miami Dolphins' No. 99 said. "I've been around 10 years, and people that have been around know that I'm not that kind of guy who's going to sit back and rest on what he did. I'm happy, but I'm never satisfied."
Seeking advice on how to duplicate last year's achievements, Taylor said he sought out "people who've had success in their respective professions."
He declined to identify them, but said the conversations led him to this conclusion: "What I did last year doesn't mean anything. The biggest challenge - yeah, I did it once, but I'm going to do it again."
That sets the bar high. The best thing about the Dolphins' dismal 2006 season was Taylor, who had 13 1/2 sacks, forced 10 fumbles, recovered two, intercepted two passes and returned both for scores.
"Guys that have had success, it's tough," Taylor said. "First of all, you've got everybody shooting for you. If you don't have the same level of success that you had the previous year, people are going to say, 'You're not the same."'
They won't say that in the Dolphins' locker room, and teammates anticipate no drop-off in Taylor's productivity this year. Defensive tackle Vonnie Holliday smiled when asked if winning the award as the best defensive player made Taylor bigheaded.
"I don't know if his head could get any bigger. Have you seen it?" Holliday joked. "Nah, being defensive player of the year is a tremendous achievement, but he hasn't made a big deal out of it. I think he would have traded that for a run at the playoffs."
A ring remains Taylor's primary source of motivation: He has yet to play in an AFC championship game, much less the Super Bowl.
The Dolphins have failed to even reach the playoffs the past five years, a franchise record. In 2006 they went 6-10, only their third losing season since 1969.
"I hated losing, and everybody knows that," said Taylor, a five-time Pro Bowl player. "But you can't have a chance of winning without having a chance of losing. As long as I can line up and have a chance to go out and win, sometimes you're going to lose, but that doesn't diminish the challenge of the game that I love."
After last season, Taylor said he contemplated retirement, with frustration about losing a factor. The offseason rejuvenated him.
He turns 33 on Saturday, will be under contract through 2009 and said he might play another three to five years.
"Sure, why not? I can do it. It depends on a lot of things - how healthy you are, the state of your team and whether or not you win a championship."
The Dolphins aren't a likely title contender in 2007, although they expect to be strong again on defense and better on offense. Teams may focus more than ever on containing Taylor, but he's difficult to neutralize, as new coach Cam Cameron is well aware.
In Cameron's five years as offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers, they faced Taylor three times.
"You have to account for him every play," Cameron said. "People say, 'We'll run at him.' If you run at him, he's tough for people to stay on because he's so active. You say, 'We'll run away from him.' Then he runs you down from behind. Then you say, 'We'll have to double him,' and you free-up somebody else to make a play.
"It's nice to be on the same sideline."
An 11th-year veteran, Taylor spent most of his NFL career at end, disproving critics who said he was too small. The past two years, coach Nick Saban used Taylor at both end and linebacker, depending on whether Miami played a 4-3 or 3-4, and he'll continue to do both this season.
"Whatever it is, I just want to be the best at it," Taylor said.
He'll line up on the flank or inside, rush the passer or drop into coverage. When he plays linebacker, he's part of a corps that ranks among the game's best, with Zach Thomas, Channing Crowder and newcomer Joey Porter.
Porter brings to Miami a Super Bowl ring he won with Pittsburgh and a reputation for emotional leadership. Last season he returned an interception for a touchdown against the Dolphins, then kissed Steelers coach Bill Cowher.
Taylor can be demonstrative himself, but he's reluctant to emulate Porter's mode of celebrating.
"I don't see how kissing relates to winning," Taylor said. "I kiss my wife and that's fine, but as far as kissing Cam, it isn't going to happen.
"I take that back - if we win a Super Bowl, I'll kiss him."

Changing Preferences for Aging Boomers
The survey was conducted by homebuilders Pulte and Del Webb.
"Boomers of all ages now consider 80 to be the tipping point at which 'old age' sets in.
The Del Webb findings further indicate that the desire to stay active has made more Boomers amenable to the idea of moving. Roughly 42% of the 50-year-olds surveyed this time around said they planned to move during retirement, versus 36% in 1996. Of those planning to move, half said they would relocate to a different state, while a quarter indicated plans to move to a different city within the same state."

Melbourne, Australia • In years past, Novak Djokovic marked his victories at the Australian Open with rowdy late-night celebrations and bleary-eyed photo shoots the next morning in downtown Melbourne.
This year's win made history but inspired a more sober reaction.
After beating Andy Murray to become the only man to win three consecutive Australian Open titles, the No. 1-ranked player didn't feel the need to celebrate immediately. Instead, he booked an early Monday flight home to start preparing for his next challenge: the clay courts of Europe.
The Serb has the Davis Cup next weekend and a few months away is the French Open the one major that has eluded him. Djokovic now has six Grand Slam tournament trophies, four overall from the Australian Open and one each from Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2011. He came close last year at Roland Garros, but lost in the final to clay-court master Rafael Nadal.
"Of course, I want to go all the way in the French Open," Djokovic said at his post-match news conference just after midnight. His goal for the year is a big one, he said, when asked if he would choose a Roland Garros title over his No. 1-ranking.
"I'll take everything," the 25-year-old Djokovic said. "I have no reason not to be confident in myself."
The French Open begins May 26.
Djokovic never lacked self-confidence and his dominating performance at the Australian Open showed just why.
The elite group Djokovic heads includes No. 2 Roger Federer, No. 3 Murray and Nadal, whose creaky knees caused him to sit out this tournament and yield his No. 4 ranking to David Ferrer. Djokovic beat Ferrer in an 89-minute semifinal he said he played "perfectly."
Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam-winner, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have combined to win 33 of the past 34 majors.
"I have a great feeling about myself on the court at this moment," Djokovic said after beating Ferrer.
His 6-7 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2 victory over Murray on Sunday night showed his mental toughness and supreme fitness in a match that contained riveting rallies between two of the best returners in the game.
"It's going to give me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season," Djokovic said.

The most stressful part of the day (at least for me) is figuring out what to wear. There are so many factors that go into picking something to wear for a full day of classes, meetings and hanging with friends. You want to be comfortable and of course you want to look nice! I found a Fashionista, a fellow Communications major, who rocked the perfect outfit that could work from day to night.
Communications majors at Misericordia always seem to look put together compared to some other majors. I think it's because we are constantly meeting with different groups on campus for different projects or running back and forth to our internships. Because of all the running around we're forced to look nice – all day long. And, on top of all that, we probably won't have time to change before going out with friends to dinner.
This Fashionista chose a pair of dark wash jeans, similar to these from Gap to serve as the base of her outfit. Then, she chose a bright, patterned top that makes her stand out in the crowd of other Communications kids or at her internship off campus. She accessorized with a pair of riding boots, like these from Macy's, and a statement necklace. The statement necklace is key. It shows she had time to think about her look rather than rushing out the door. Banana Republic has great options for statement necklaces, so make sure to check those out!
Then, if she needs to head right from campus to dinner with family or friends, all she needs to do is add a blazer or jacket for a nighttime look. This one from Anthropologie is to die for!
One Simple Change: To make this outfit more springtime appropriate, and great for a brunch with girlfriends, swap the riding boots for strappy sandals. Go for a gold pair to highlight the statement necklace.

Controlling cross-platform image display
Hi, still in midst of my coding muddle trying to create an epub that will convert predictably to a .mobi file for Kindle etc. These questions fall into the image category...
I'd to include an image after every chapter title, and make sure they both always appear on a single page. Is there any way to make sure the image scales to stay on the same page as the title, and sill have it be large enough to zoom on a device that supports that?
Then, i'm creating a list with images that float left inside an indented div, but still having them be zoomable to their full size (about 300px wide). What I have works great in epubreader on Firefox and on the iPad, but the Kindle version is displayed full size right away.
(Do I understand correctly that .mobi/Kindle is only html, and that what I end up with there will depend on the how Calibre (for example) interprets the epub style sheet?)
I can supply code and stuff if need be. Feeling kinda buried under all this -- so thanks for any help at all.

home remedies for hot spots Canines Providing difficulty to New Jersey bed bugs Overview: Border Collies, Puggles and Beagles are used extensively in the recognition of New Jersey bed bugs. They are a much better alternative to traditional methods of insect detection and also have a rate of success of 96%.

Else, you most likely developed welts and hives. How was the first ending up in the New Jacket bed bugs family? Were not the eggs how big a pen stage, the small infants, partially clear and like poppy seeds, and also the grown ups as large as apple seed products and rusty in color? You've attempted oral sprays, DDTs and just what not. Nevertheless, they revisit. Consequently, it is time you change world war 2 strategy a bit. How about bedbug sniffing canines?

This happens because inside the lower digestive tract there's a number of smaller sized muscle tissue that contract and take away so the food is gradually passed across the intestines. But when your pet has the regrettable situation of diarrhea or vomiting caused by an additional none related in most cases common situation, it agreements rapidly because the physique panics to eliminate the problem items or toxins.

Then as you might expect the food forces and forces aside in the sides producing the alcove bigger and bigger containing all of the stale and solidified food as well as causing blood flow issues and discomfort. This is not one such occurrence in canines but is none the less really irritating or painful for that canine in question and could cause constant retching to vomit and pass waste together with usually sensation unwell and unpleasant enough to not drink or eat in most cases. Surgical treatment is usually the way your vet will fix canine intussusception by entering the impacted area and tugging the 2 the overlap golf part apart and releasing and taking out the included waste to ensure a normal passage later on.

What To Plan For When Dealing With Online Shopping
by Joan Gray
For any company that wants to enhance service provision and grow in the right direction, reviews on products have to be an important aspect of day-to-day operations. The enjoy it or don't attitude of days gone by does not work anymore. Consumers have many providers to select from and so it is your responsibility as a company owner to demonstrate them why you should be their preferred service provider. The customer has secured a place in today's world as the most crucial player in any business transaction. Customer satisfaction comes first.
Consumers have the capacity to generate a chain reaction that starts with them using a specific product, liking or disliking it, expressing their satisfaction or discontent on-line and following customers either purchasing or turning away from the brand. Get more details on product reviews. Such a chain of events has serious implications on a small business which is the role of the company owner to make sure that the implications are positive and not negative. The easiest way to do this is by allowing consumers to air their opinion in the form of reviews and then acting on the recommendations so.
What weight do product reviews take?
Several surveys are carried out online and offline to try and find the extent to which a review by a consumer can affect buying behaviour. Results suggest that a lot of individuals will initially look in the pricing of a service and product provider prior to making a purchase decision but they'll inevitably also look at reviews about the product they find most reasonable priced.
The decision to purchase or not is mostly determined by what a customer finds on the organization website in the reviews section. Additionally, there are websites that specialize in featuring only product reviews and consumers generally source for advice from such websites. On average, 3-4 negative comments about a product will make the consumer try to find an option to what they initially considered.
The reception of reviews by businesses has done many companies more good than just about any other strategy everyone can think of. Negative reviews may be properly used as turning points to leave from old ways and alter products and services to serve consumers better. Reviews do a lot for businesses and here are three priceless benefits that any company can get from truthful and fair reviews on products.
Encourage change and product advancement:
It's impractical to try and satisfy everyone's needs as a service provider or business entrepreneur however you can definitely make an effort to match the requirements the most. Click here for more information on the subject. While some reviews about your product will be partial and driven by other motives, most of them are going to be genuine as well as your clients will be reporting back actual problems they have come across with your product. It can be a problem about issue to utilize the product, mechanical or compatibility problems in the example of applications or some other type of issue. No matter the case is, the company concerned should contemplate the review as an opportunity to improve on a product they already need to satisfy the requirements their customers. Joyful customers purchase more.
Highlight significant sales opportunities:
There's no denying that sales teams do a great job creating interest in your product and tempting buyers. It's however also true they might not be able to exploit the full potential of the item and consequently under sell the item. Reviews by customers emphasize important features of the product which act as selling points. Missed chances may be pointed out by users and this can help improve the service or product greatly.

For many private companies, going public can be an exciting possibility, one that can open the doors to greater capital, financing options, and growth potential - not to mention considerable monetary gains for management and investors.
When a privately owned company makes an initial public offering, or IPO, it offers ownership of the company to the public through the sale of securities. But, prior to the actual offering, companies embarking on an IPO must go through an extremely demanding, time-consuming, and expensive preparation process, requiring excellent support from IPO experts in many disciplines.
While the rewards for such effort are often tremendous, shifting from a private to a public entity may involve difficult adjustments that management needs to anticipate.
How to go public
Going public requires months of preparation, sometimes as long as a year. The cost can be considerable - companies should expect to pay fees for legal services, accounting, auditing, and printing, as well as underwriting commissions and expenses.
While a private company seeking to go public should have already assembled an outstanding management team, it now must put together an equally good team of outside professionals who specialize in IPOs. The attorneys and accountants a company selects are particularly crucial. These experts typically direct a great deal of the IPO process and could make or break its success. Together, these specialists will draft the necessary documents required for the public offering, including the registration statement that must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Various written materials will need to detail the company's products and services, potential markets, and audited financials. They will also name principal shareholders, officers, and directors. In addition, risk factors should be thoroughly explained in order to minimize the company's potential exposure to future misrepresentation or similar claims. A securities fraud lawsuit resulting from disappointing after-market performance can be disastrous.
The next, and most important, step in going public is choosing an investment bank to act as the underwriter. Underwriting is the actual process of raising capital through the public offering of securities for the company going public. Private companies should consider the investment bank's reputation, industry expertise, and distribution channels. The investment bank should also be able to put together a strong syndicate of large investors to back the offering.
No company wants speculators buying into its IPO for a quick sell and a short-term gain. The underwriter must create a strong market for the stock, in what is called the "after-market," by attempting to make sure that significant investors are holding it for the long-term. The underwriter itself typically should hold a considerable number of shares to help make a market for the stock.
After the company files its registration statement with the SEC, the company must enter what is commonly called a "quiet period." It is during this time that the company issues a preliminary prospectus, or red herring. The red herring introduces the company to the investing public and reiterates much of what is contained in the registration statement. This is the only information that can be provided during the quiet period.
About one month prior to SEC-approval of the issue, the management team generally goes on what is called a "road show" to acquaint brokers, portfolio managers, and institutional traders in many different cities with the company. During these meetings, managers familiarize the audience with the company and the information contained in the red herring.
Once the SEC approves the issue, the offering price is determined based on current financials, financial projections, comparisons to similar companies, and other investment trends. The price per share and the amount of capital the company wants to raise determines how many shares will be offered for sale to the public.
On the date the issue becomes effective, a final prospectus is issued and the company's securities are offered to the public.
What to expect after the IPO
Public ownership can have a dramatic change on a company, and the transition is not always easy. The company's managers suddenly must face new responsibilities that they didn't encounter when the company was private - namely, shareholder accountability.
The company's founders still must answer to the board of directors, which has the power to remove executives from their positions. But they aren't the only "bosses" of the company any longer. Managers now also have a responsibility to public investors, analysts, and money managers, all of whom can share in the company's gains and losses. For that reason, public companies must comply with disclosure requirements about their finances and operations.
Both during and after the IPO process, careful preparation and realistic expectations are key to success. With the help of top financial professionals, months of hard work, culminating in the emotionally charged day when the company finally goes public, will likely pay off if management has been properly discriminating about all aspects of the IPO.
The growing pains that come with a public offering are to be expected and must be overcome to face the new challenges of developing as a publicly held company and increasing shareholder value.

Paul Innella ('95)
As computers continue
to become more challenging and necessary, so does the need for their
security. That's why Paul Innella ('95) de-cided to form
his own information security company with some of his friends.
"We focused on the idea of information security, recognizing it
as the next technological arena to truly take off," says Innella,
a computer science major and math minor.
In 2001, Innella
(president and CEO) formed Tetrad Digital Integrity, which provides
solutions to today's most challenging security problems for numerous
government and commercial clients.
TDI is a small business with local and global partners. The company
has done work in New York, London, Milan, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Cincinnati
and Harrisonburg according to Innella. TDI has provided security service
for a number of organizations, including the U.S. departments of Education
and Defense. Yet, Innella is hesitant to truly call himself successful.
"I think that we have exceeded our best expectations thus far,
but I know the road ahead is long and hard," he says. "We
make sure that we do only what we can, ensuring that our existing customers
are happy."
TDI has also formed
an alliance of sorts with other security professionals around the world.
The International Network of Information Security Professionals was
established to "bring the many small information security firms
and independent consultants together" to try to serve customers
A student spotlight
piece in the honors program newsletter Honor News foreshadowed Inella's
career choice. "The [writers] asked me what I wanted to do after
graduation, and I said that I wanted to start a business with my friends."
With an increase
of hacker attacks and security leaks, and since tragedies of Sept. 11,
information security and assurance has become a hot topic. TDI's
mission is to create a safe network environment, ensuring the integrity,
confidentiality and availa-bility of information within a computing
"The largest
problem we've noted," Innella says, "is a lack of
properly staffed information security personnel. IS departments are
understaffed — often with professionals whose backgrounds are
not in security."

BMW Questions? Ask a BMW Repair Expert for Answers.
It would be my pleasure to assist you with this.
I am familiar with this problem you are describing on your N52 engine.
I do not think the other expert was familiar with your problem. On your vehicle you have an electrical water pump. When this begins to fail it will give you the temperature warning and the electrical fan will come on high. Sometimes even just restarting the vehicle can correct this for a short time.
The problem is internal in the electrical water pump as the speed is monitored by the engine control unit. When it identifies a problem the overheat warning will be displayed.
I have a video describing this on an x3 with the same style water pump.
I hope this information is helpful. Please accept this answer by pressing the ACCEPT tab. You will not be charged again but this will transfer your deposit for my assistance today. If I can help you further please let me know. If I can help you in the future please ask for Roger. Thank you.
