Say what you will (mostly questions about the secrecy involved) about the new MaxPreps/AIA formula for determining the postseason, the first full season is about to end and the results seem to be in line with the rankings.
It is working.
That's not the problem. Coaches want to know HOW it is working.
Anyway, here is a look at how the area teams are sitting with one week of action remaining.
Mountain Pointe jumped Desert Ridge for the No. 1 seed in Division I football.
If the standings were to stay the same, which they won't, it is a much easier ride to the title game.
They'd play Cibola in the first round and the winner of Mountain View-Desert Mountain in the second round.
More importantly, No. 3 Hamilton, No. 7 Desert Vista, No. 10 Chandler, No. 2 Desert Ridge and No. 11 Basha would be in the bottom half of the bracket.
Only Brophy, as the No. 4 seed, would be in the top half of the bracket out of the assumed top seven state title contenders.
The Thunder are seventh and have a tough game at Chandler. The winner secures a top eight seed.
In girls volleyball, Desert Vista entered the week as the ninth seed but its win over Dobson and a potential win over No. 11 Mountain Pointe might push them into the top eight and secure a first-round home match.
Should the Pride beat the Thunder it would be a stretch to think they can jump three teams to get the home match.
More importantly, a win would solidify their postseason position. A loss makes things interesting because of the rule that gives an automatic qualifier for the top three in each section.
Entering the final week of action, only one of the top three teams in Section I are in the top 16.
Millennium was 16 in the seedings, but would move to No. 14 to accommodate St. Mary's and Westview, which sit at 18 and 20 right now.
That means two of the teams that made the top 16 (currently Tucson and Mesa) would be bumped. A loss to Desert Vista probably doesn't move the Pride down to No. 14 from 11 but since we don't know the formula it is all guess work.
A win over the Thunder takes it out of the equation.

You run a team -- call it the St. Louis Cubs of Los Angeles -- that has $225 million to spend this offseason on a franchise first baseman. Take your pick:
First baseman A
Age: 27
Average season from 2006 to '10: 159 games, 38 home runs, 105 RBI, .922 OPS
Wear and tear: Never on the disabled list in seven plus seasons.
2011 salary: $15.5 million
First baseman B
Age: 31
Average season from 2006 to '10: 154 games, 41 home runs, 122 RBI, 1.064 OPS
Wear and tear: On the DL three times, including for six weeks in 2011.
2011 salary: $16 million
Four months ago the lean was decidedly in "B's" direction, but then Albert Pujols was on his way to the worst first half of his career (17 home runs, 45 RBI, .855 OPS) and on Sunday broke his left wrist, an injury that is expected to sideline him for six weeks.
Meanwhile, "A," or Prince Fielder, is having a career year for the Milwaukee Brewers, leading the National League with 20 home runs and 62 RBI and second with a 1.031 OPS.
For the first 11 years of his career, Pujols has been one of the greatest hitters ever, winning three MVP awards and a World Series. But contracts, especially large ones like Pujols and Fielder will be seeking, must be given based on future performance.
There may be concerns about Fielder's body type -- that being big at 5-11, 275 pounds -- but he has now proven to be more durable than Pujols, is four years younger and could be still improving while Pujols plateaus.
And yet it is Pujols' wrist injury that could be the key factor in who gets the bigger contract this offseason. If he returns and struggles the rest of the season or just doesn't hit with the same power, then teams, even his St. Louis Cardinals, will probably think twice before giving him more than $200 million.
Cliff Floyd, the former slugging first baseman, also broke his wrist in a similar fashion as Pujols and says Pujols may not return to form until next spring, in which case millions of dollars could be lost.
"Your wrist is your pocketbook," says Floyd. "Balls he might (clobber) now, he might foul off. It might take him a little while, maybe until spring training to get himself back."
The Cardinals, Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels and others are sure to be keeping a close eye on both Pujols and Fielder.

The Good Morning America set has to be in violation of New York's maximum-occupancy laws. The studio couch is packed tight with so many bodies these days, you wonder if the producers need the jaws of life to pry the hosts apart after the show.
The fire marshal might be worried about that, but it's probably fine with ESPN anchor Kevin Negandhi. When Josh Elliott left SportsCenter and wedged himself onto the GMA set, it created an opportunity for Negandhi. The 36-year-old Phoenixville native and Temple alumnus was chosen as Elliott's replacement for the coveted morning SportsCenter anchor gig.
Before arriving in Bristol, Conn., Neghandi had graduated from being the Temple News sports editor to freelancer for USA Today and local TV work in outposts such as Kirksville, Mo., and Sarasota, Fla. At ESPN he has hosted everything from ESPN News to College Football Live to Outside the Lines. And now, each morning, he sits beside Hannah Storm and serves a healthy heaping of sports to millions of Americans looking for some scores to complement their coffee.
Negandhi talked to Page 2 about his dream job, growing up in this area, and why it's OK to cry if you're a Philadelphia sports fan.
Question: You're the first Indian American to serve on a national sports network. What does that mean to you and your family?
Answer: Indians are considered hard workers. Doctor. Engineer. Or motel or convenience store owner. Those stereotypes – I take a lot of pride in breaking them down. When I first pitched my career choice to my family, for them it was, "OK, this is just a phase. He'll be a businessman or an attorney, and that's how things will be." There's nothing wrong with that.
[In] Indian culture, kids aspire to big things. Being on a national network is something foreign to the community. Mothers will say to my mom, "Your son has inspired my son to be in sports." That, to me, is so big. You're breaking down walls. I'm the first Indian sportscaster on ESPN. That's pretty cool.
Q: Do you remember where you were and what it felt like when you got the job offer from ESPN?
A: I was at a high school football practice. It was one of those moments – you can't scream in the middle of practice, even though you want to. Since I was 14, I wanted to do SportsCenter. It was like, for 20 years you prepare to climb Everest and then you finally do. I partied my butt off that weekend.

Ghostly Candidates; Pot Prosperity?
HERE WE ARE, IT'S almost election day once again and you have once again a low key approach to politics.
The candidates left over for the general need to take a hint from those other states and counties where all the people get rowdy and start accusing each other through TV ads of being crooks, charlatans and ne'er do-wells.
You hardly hear a discouraging word in Imperial County.
In fact, its so low key a couple of candidates have almost disappeared completely from the radar screen.
That they are both on the County Board of Supervisors may just be a coincidence.
Louis Fuentes has hardly appeared in public, let alone acted like a candidate. The same holds true with Wally Leimgruber.
Well, most of these fellows blow their campaign money on the primary and hope the general election will take care of itself.
Wally must have spent a lot of money because he has disappeared from Holtville so completely we named the Halloween ghost we have in our office after him. Perhaps he only comes out after dark.
Their opponents have been in the same position before. Close to winning. And with just a little bit of a push they may get the drop on the boys on the The Board.
This is after all, the election of the Tea Party and those seeking extensive change in the status quo.
We're a big supporter of term limits and think that some candidates shouldn't prolong the inevitable, especially when all they are after is a job.
Well, there are two weeks to go. We'll see who is around the second week in November.
WE READ AN INTERESTING ARTICLE about legalized marijuana in Colorado over the weekend. Seems the state passed this and some businesses have a boom in their revenue. One of those has been a daily newspaper that carries a special marijuana section for shops to advertise their products. It's gone over very well and helped keep some papers in business.
They have been able to sell full page ads for double the rate to marijuana shops who are happy to get it. The shops are also flush with cash and ready to spend it.
Sometimes it takes extreme measures to improve the economy. With all the farmland there is around here, maybe there will be a new cash crop around these parts. Cool.
Look for our fearless election forecast next week.
VERY INTERESTING STUFF- In the 400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.
Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'
Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only…Ladies Forbidden'.. .and thus, the word GOLF entered into the English language.
The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV was Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the U.S. Treasury.

The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% (now get this…)
The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died because of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Nineteen-year-old Michael Davis, younger brother of NFL players Vernon and Vontae Davis, has been declared incompetent to stand trial in the murder case against him.
He is charged with the April killing of 66-year-old Gary Dederichs, a tourist from Colorado, by striking him in the head with a hammer-like object. Davis is charged with two other nonfatal attacks and suspected in two more assaults. All incidents occurred over a three-day period.
Davis will receive treatment at a psychiatric hospital 'in hopes of restoring his competency,' according to the Associated Press. Davis will be brought back to court in 60 days to determine if his condition has improved, according to The Washington Post.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Stamey's Old Fashioned Barbecue – I guess….
One of the great things I get to do while traveling is try new restaurants and especially with my love for BBQ I normally try to find at least one on a trip to check out. While doing some research on a trip to Greensboro, NC all indications from my web searching was that Stamey's was the place to go.
I was in a training class while on this trip and asked the teacher who was a native of the area the same question and without hesitation he said the same thing… Stamey's… he also told me that you had to go to the original one, which was by the Greensboro Coliseum and that one of their claim to fame, is that George W. Bush ate there while he was President. Well – I figured good enough for W. good enough for me ☺
The building was a cool old building with old fashion stools and a counter top bar and it was pretty full for a Tuesday night. Not overall full but full enough for me to think I was getting some good food.
Sat down an asked the waitress for some ribs and a diet coke which as you could tell by my pictures is one of the best things I cook as well as a way I judge BBQ restaurants. To my dismay… No ribs at all and diet Pepsi only… That started my questions about Stamey's… if you are at all a soda drinker you have your favorite and if its one brand other the other… you really don't like the other and are disappointed when that's all they have. No matter – I'm in North Carolina and I lived in the state before what else but Sweet Tea to order… perfect. Still – I couldn't get over no ribs at a BBQ joint that is suppose to be the best in the city…. One side note about the sweat tea – in NC it's normally so sweat that you're filling hurt… in a good way. This wasn't… in fact I was wondering if I had to add more sugar but I digress.
Well – I figured I was there what the heck. Waitress what is the best thing on the menu I asked? She said the sliced with hushpuppies. Perfect send me an order!
So – my disappointment continued. This was the smallest plate of BBQ I think I have ever gotten. I mean a McRib was bigger:
I was there and I was hungry – so I dug in. The sliced was ok… a little dry but I tried some of their Stamey's sauce which helped. Of course vinegar based NC sauce. Nothing out of the ordinary just your average sauce.
Best part of the small plate of food was the Hushpuppies – were golden on the inside and crispy on the outside. I finished them all!
With really good service – and I am serious about that the wait staff was as nice as they could be… she asked if I saved room for desert (their peach cobbler was supposed to be awesome I was told by the teacher). I didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't have to save room so without being a wise guy I placed an order of cobbler.
It was December and I'm a Florida boy right now so it was really cold outside and I didn't order with ice cream. The cobbler was simply amazing it was worth the drive and the dry sliced. If you order one thing at Stamey's… Order the cobbler!
Overall – my first night in Greensboro BBQ was disappointing. No Ribs, No Diet Coke, weak Sweet Tea and a very small pate of food…. I hate to give bad reviews because maybe it was a one-time thing, I got there at the wrong time or something but I was disappointed. I now wonder what W. thought! ☺

I like to display the page options at the bottom in this format: < Prev 1 2 ... 7 8 *9* 10 11 ... 19 20 Next > By always showing the first 2 and last 2 pages, the user has an easy way to first and last page and they get an idea of how many pages there are. There's no need to have a special 'First' and 'Last' link if you do it this way. Here is a good site with tips and examples of pagination: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/16/pagination-gallery-examples-and-good-practices/ Hope this helps. Regards, Bradley C Bailey

Sebelius Lied About Payoffs From Late-Term Abortionist
There may be more to Kathleen Sebelius's rabid support for abortion than a dread of the patter of little feet. The tax cheat Abortion Queen was paid more for her fanatical stance than she's been willing to admit:
President Barack Obama's health secretary nominee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, got nearly three times as much political money from an abortion doctor as she told senators.
In response to questions from the Senate Finance Committee, Sebelius wrote that she received $12,450 between 1994 and 2001 from one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers, Dr. George Tiller.
But records reviewed by The Associated Press show that Tiller gave at least $23,000 more from 2000-2002 to a political action committee that Sebelius established while state insurance commissioner to raise money for fellow Democrats.
According to Health and Human Services, this wasn't a lie, but an "oversight."

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius also claims she didn't really know Dr Tiller that well either. Funny - you would think if someone contributes over $20,000 to your campaign, you'd make every effort to know who that person is. What kind of motive do you think the good dr had in mind?
Posted by: Joycer at April 14, 2009 8:42 AM
Lie - oversight. The difference between right and left. No, no double standards here....it's really too bad when a president can't get a cabinet assembled because the people he is picking are so vile they can't stand a little vetting. Well, he is selecting from the DemocRATS.

Hiram, not much of a difference!
One can deduce then, that abortionists, at the very least late-term abortionists are lower on the scum suckers totem pole than the child molesters that let their victims live and at the same level as those who don't.
No argument from me!

But Johnson downplays its importance, sort of
The Washington Nationals will throw their three best pitchers at the Philadelphia Phillies and catch the visitors at a good time in their rotation in their three-game series this weekend.
On Friday night, Stephen Strasburg (2-0, 1.13 ERA) faces right-hander Kyle Kendrick (0-2, 6.95 ERA). On Saturday afternoon, Gio Gonzalez (2-1, 1.82 ERA) takes on right-hander Vance Worley (2-1, 1.97 ERA). On Sunday night (ESPN), Jordan Zimmerman (1-2, 1.89) matches up with lefty Cole Hamels (3-1, 2.78 ERA).
Phillies ace Roy Halladay pitched Wednesday night at Atlanta and 1A ace Cliff Lee is on the disabled list.
With the Philles (12-13) off to a slow start this is an opportunity for the Nats (15-9) to put some space between themselves and the N.L. East favorites. But Washington manager Davey Johnson was quick to remind that it's only May and it's a long season.
"They're all the same to me. They all count," Johnson said. "But it's division and it's the perennial best team in the league. And it's how you stack up. So it'll have a little more significance than just a regular game … It doesn't go unnoticed. If we want to win this division, you gotta beat Philadelphia No. 1 and Atlanta No. 2, and all the rest of them.
With so few Nats having played for contending teams, an early series might mean more for their confidence. But Johnson said experience isn't realty a factor.
"It doesn't matter if you're young or you're old," Johnson said. "It was a big game last night because we were playing the Western Division champs. You want to see if you measure up."

Prep's size poses challenge for Knights
Prep's size poses challenge for Knights
SOUTHINGTON — They're big.
The sheer size of the Jesuits and the multiple capabilities of junior quarterback Colton Smith are the two factors that pop up most often when high school football talk centers on Fairfield Prep and its quest for the Class LL championship.
Size is not one of Southington's attributes, so it's a major point of contention in anticipation of the clash slated for Arute Field at Central Connecticut State University Saturday evening. Kickoff is slated for 6:05 p.m., but a storm is forecast for that time period and the CIAC was weighing alternatives Wednesday.
Those forecasting the game may consider size a determining factor, but not the Blue Knights. They're convinced that the size of the heart outweighs that of the body.
"Outside people are going to say that it probably would, but knowing my teammates, I know that it's not a factor for them," said Zach Maxwell, an undersized (6-2, 210) but explosive defensive end.
Maxwell, a defending State Open wrestling champion in the 195-pound weight class, cites other factors that have stirred the ingredients of Southington's 11-1 season.
"Our team has so much heart despite our size and we're not going to let size limit us," he said. "On offense, it's definitely speed, but on defense it's definitely the heart and desire to get 11 hats to the ball because when you're small you have to make up for the size, and our relentless pursuit is what makes our defense so special."
Southington coach Mike Drury and his staff focused on the intangibles that tend to offset such an imbalance.
"They're big up front. We're not big up front in terms of our defense against their offensive line, but what we are is very fast and strong, and the kids play with great technique and leverage," Southington coach Mike Drury said.
The readings on the Fairfield Prep weight charts aren't for the faint of heart:
*Anthony Palazzolo weighs 302 pounds and stands 6-foot-5.
*Fordham-bound Tony Fox is 6-2, 254.
*Michael Ruther may qualify for his own area code at 6-7, 286.
Other prominent behemoths are Thomas Cirillo (6-foot, 252), Connor Roche (6-2, 252), Stephen Kornutik (6-foot, 272). Perhaps the most notable is running back Nick Crowle (6-3, 246), who will be a Yale classmate of Southington quarterback Steve Barmore.
"We've thought all along that we should be able to move the ball and be effective up front," Fairfield Prep coach Tom Shea said.
"The challenge is when you meet a real fast team like Southington.
"We've been a good second-half team because we have been able to wear people down. We've made a mistake a few times like getting in a hole early in games and we've got to avoid that if we can."
Barmore, a good-sized quarterback at 6-2, 210, has had sporadic duty in the defensive backfield, so he can speak from both sides of the football.
"They're big. It's going to be a challenge for us, but I think we'll rise above it and if we play the way I know we can play, I'm confident," Barmore said.
"We've played teams bigger than us all year," he added. "Glastonbury was big. NFA was huge up front and our linemen get great leverage because they're not as big as other teams and they're strong. We work very hard in the offseason to make sure that we're all strong, so size to an extent, it doesn't matter as much as you think it would because it doesn't really seem to affect our guys."
The Southington offensive line doesn't have quite the girth the Jesuits present. Center Sal Conti is 6-1, 215. Jon Rauch (6-3, 250) is the biggest of the three guards. Joe D'Agostino is 5-11, 240 and Noah MacDonald is 6-foot, 250.
The tackles are Carlos Gil (5-10, 235) and Jimmy Nardi (5-11, 225).
"We've been out-sized all year," Nardi said. "It comes down to who's going to get low, who's going to want it more. We'll just do what we do."

Tequila Chamucos was founded by a "movie director, a famous caricaturist, and a young businessman" to use their words--originally to share tequila among friends but later as a true business concern. The tequila is bottled in hand-blown glass to help represent the artisitc nature of the label. "Chamuco" is translated by no less an authority than the Urban Dictionary as a "devil or mischevious person."

Anti-stalking measure targets electronic devices
ALBANY – Two years after a woman was shot dead in a Buffalo hospital by an estranged boyfriend who had been stalking her, the state on Wednesday made the use of electronic devices to follow someone with the intent of hurting them part of New York's anti-stalking laws.
Though not as strong as an earlier version of the legislation, the final bill signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo is believed by advocates to be a new tool domestic violence victims can use to report stalkers to police and to get help without having to file a criminal complaint.
The law was prompted by the June 2012 fatal shooting of Jackie Wisniewski in Erie County Medical Center, where she worked, by Dr. Timothy V. Jorden Jr., her estranged boyfriend. He installed a GPS tracking device in her vehicle to follow her movements.
Jorden later killed himself.
Before she was murdered, Wisniewski, who lived in West Seneca, found a tracking device on her car that had been installed by Jorden, who had been following her with the GPS for three months.
She did not file charges against him for fear it would upset him.
Backers say the new provision will make it easier for stalking victims to obtain orders of protection in family courts while cases against their stalkers proceed in criminal courts.
The new measure came with a compromise: The version proposed in 2013 allowed police to charge someone who used a GPS to stalk someone with a felony, but the 2014 bill signed by Cuomo amends the law to make it a Class B misdemeanor.
The Democratic-controlled Assembly blocked the provision with the stiffer penalties.
The law's signing comes after a two-year campaign by the victim's family.
Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes and Sen. Tim Kennedy, both Buffalo Democrats who sponsored the bill, said the new law will permit police to now prosecute stalkers for using GPS devices without the victim having to press charges or file an order of protection.
They said that shifts the burden from victims, who might be reluctant to come forward, to law enforcement in stalking cases.
The lawmakers said there were more than 6,300 cases of domestic violence incidents in Erie County in 2012; 4,000 were reports filed by women.
Kennedy said the state owes thanks to the Wisniewski family for pushing the legislation.
"It is with heavy hearts that we mark the signing of this important legislation, as we reflect on the tragedies that have prompted it," he said.
Peoples-Stokes said a dangerous loophole in the state's anti-stalking laws is now closed.

The code in wbee.c wants that arg for a sscanf, and that's where the error is coming out. There's nothing in there that points to a token problem. In migin.c, look at spawn_kid(). The size setting for sidbuf[] and tokenbuf[] looks unsafe. In both of them, set their size to a constant, say 10, and try that. If that works, let me know and I'll check it in. Dean

Baby Bjorns For Dogs
I can see my sister doing this.
Now dog owners can carry their pets like babies.
Small dogs have generally been carted about in designer handbags — but now there's a new carrier designed especially pups.
Similar to the way slings are used by parents to hold their babies, the Puppoose enables owners to transport their pets in fashionable comfort – and is said to be the first hands-free way of carrying your dog.
It costs about $65 and comes in four sizes and a choice of colors. It can carry dogs weighing up to 22lb.
I have to admit, I wouldn't be caught dead carrying my dog like this…would you?

dazzling my eyes with many colours.

Keisha Castle-Hughes
Jump to
Though Keisha Castle-Hughes had always dreamed of being an actress, she never thought that she would actually be one. Plucked from roughly 10,000 New Zealand schoolgirls to play the part of Paikea in "Whale Rider" (2002), Castle-Hughes put in a performance that was hailed by critics the world over, especially since she never acted a day in her life, even in a school play. But Castle-Hughes's depth of character and range of emotion was apparent to director Niki Caro and casting director Diana Rowan-who also discovered Anna Paquin for "The Piano" (1993)-from the start. It took several months, and eight or nine auditions, but the then-11-year-old landed the part, and with it, her one-time dream of being an actress turned into reality.

Scholarships Help Fund Future Doctors' Education
With our country's aging population and the continued rise in chronic diseases, ensuring there are enough doctors to take care of our increasingly complex health needs is a daunting challenge. The Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) and PAMF's Santa Cruz health care partner Sutter Maternity & Surgery Center (SMSC), both Sutter Health affiliates, are helping to meet this critical need by awarding annual scholarships to deserving students who are committed to becoming doctors.
PAMF Physicians Award Scholarships for Almost 20 Years
Since 1993, PAMF physicians have awarded scholarships to outstanding local high school students to help pay for their undergraduate studies. This year's scholarship winners are:
- Sophie Ballard from Santa Cruz High School, who will attend University of California, Berkeley
- Jeffrey Chen from Irvington High School in Fremont, who will be in the Physician – Scientist Program through Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy and Albany Medical Center in Albany, both in New York
- Stephanie Kong from St. Francis High School in Mountain View, who will go to University of California, Los Angeles
The Palo Alto Medical Group (PAFMG) Pre-Medical Scholarship is funded by our physicians and provides $5,000 a year (a total of $20,000 per recipient) to deserving students who attend a four-year college and plan to pursue careers as doctors. Unlike most other scholarships, which award a one-time sum, the PAFMG scholarship repeats for all four years of college.
Sutter Maternity & Surgery Center Awards Primary Care Doctor Scholarship
Since 2007, Sutter Maternity & Surgery Center (SMSC) together with the Central California Alliance for Health (The Alliance) have awarded a $10,000 scholarship to pay the medical fees of a University of California, Santa Cruz health sciences graduate, who is dedicated to returning to the Central Coast of California community and working as a primary care doctor.
"Becoming a primary care doctor will allow me to integrate my passion for health with my genuine care for people," says Kaitlin Russon, this year's scholarship recipient. "I feel that health care is something everyone should have access to, and our primary challenge is to make that happen."
During her time at college, Russon used her Spanish skills to work with families at the Walnut Avenue Women's Center in Santa Cruz, sang for hospice patients, mentored children in the California Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program for educationally disadvantaged children and interned with primary care doctors.

For Sally Credille, everything is negotiable. Whether it's buying a cellphone, setting up cable service or even paying an electric bill, Credille says she almost always bargains to get a better deal.
Credille, a marketing specialist based in Auburn, Ala., says she's probably saved about $500 in the last five years through her negotiations, which include landing a lower price on a BlackBerry Storm cellphone and getting a power supplier to eliminate a service-transfer fee when she switched apartments in her native Atlanta.
SHOPPING FOR HEALTH: Websites help patients shop around for colonoscopies to fillings
Credille says she thinks she's been able to work out a deal with service providers about 50% of the time. It takes persistence though. Credille says she often has to call multiple representatives at a company before getting the response she's looking for.
"I've had circumstances where they just will not budge," she says.
But often providers will budge, because they don't want to lose your business to a competitor, especially when it comes to buying cable TV, phone service or Internet access, consumer advocates and seasoned negotiators say.
"People are in a good position to be able to negotiate some discount for telecommunications," says Anthony Giorgianni, associate finance editor for Consumer Reports Money Adviser. "Every week it seems like they're trying to offer something else. It's a really good place to try to save money."
John Walls, vice president for public affairs for CTIA – The Wireless Association, says cellphone companies will often be flexible with consumers, especially in times of financial distress.
Rick Vaccarelli says he's had trouble lowering his cable bill, but he's been able to bargain successfully with his cellphone company a couple of times. He recently cut his bill by about $20 per month.
Vaccarelli, who works at a Pittsburgh magazine, says he reduced his bills by calling when he was at the end of a promotion and threatening to switch carriers.
Edward Stillwell, a retiree based in Wayne, Okla., says that whenever he's looking for an extra service, such as high-definition cable or texting capabilities, he calls his provider and asks the representative to add the feature without raising his rate.
"If you don't ask them, then they're going to charge you for it," Stillwell says, adding that he pays attention to even small rate increases because he and his wife are on a fixed income.
Some tips on how to get the best results when negotiating with your cable or cellphone company:
•Make sure you're always taking advantage of a promotional offer.
Call your cable provider when the promotion has expired and ask for an extension of the rate. If the provider won't agree, you may need to switch to another provider that's offering a promotion, Giorgianni says.
•Review your options before you negotiate, and make sure you understand what's included in the price.
"It can be very difficult to compare one cable company to another because they all have different types of programming, particularly on the television side," Giorgianni says.
One example: Some companies require cable boxes for every television they service, which can cost extra money.
•Let them know you're looking at the competition. "These companies are at each other's throats in terms of competition," Giorgianni says, which is why he suggests letting your provider know that you've looked into other offers.
Vaccarelli says threatening to switch providers has helped him negotiate a lower cellphone rate. "They immediately go into panic mode," he says.
And if a customer-service representative isn't giving you what you want, ask for a representative in customer retention. You'll usually have better luck, Giorgianni says.
•Ask for what you've negotiated in writing. Just because you've verbally negotiated a deal doesn't mean your bill will turn out the way you expect, Giorgianni says. He advises consumers to get a line-by-line breakdown of the bill before they agree to anything.
"Whatever offer they're giving you, get it in writing," he says. "Sometimes these customer-service people can be a little bit overzealous."
Though she's been known to spend two hours on the phone with a customer-service representative, experienced bargainer Sally Credille says it's never a waste of time.
In her years of negotiating, Credille, a marketing specialist based in Auburn, Ala., says she's discovered that some tactics work better than others. Here are her tips for getting the best deals:
•Be a loyal customer, and use it as leverage. Credille says she always reminds service providers of her loyalty and history of on-time payments when she's looking for a deal.
•Find the service representative who will "go the distance." If the customer-service representative you're speaking with isn't helpful, call back or ask for someone else.
•Ask for the name or customer ID number of the representative you're dealing with. Take notes during the call or visit to the store.
•Call back periodically. Getting in touch with your provider every three months or so to ask about promotions and other discounts can help you get a good deal, Credille says.
•Don't be afraid to complain about poor service. Ask the company to put an official note on your account about the complaint.
•Negotiate away extra fees upfront. Credille says she's had better luck getting rid of fees before they were charged to her account than she's had getting them removed after the fact.

The majority of small cell lung cancer(SCLC)(50-100%) express somatostatin receptors(type 1-5) with some small cell lung cancer express more than one subtypes. Stimulation of these SSTR's lead to inhibition of angiogenesis and cell growth. SOM230 also lower levels of IGF which is known to contribute to SCLC proliferation. Topotecan is approved for second line therapy in relapsed small cell lung cancer. We hypothesized that combination of both agents should yield greater antitumor activity.

If you don't have wireless then you shouldn't be using wicd.
Use an ethernet cable. I don't think there's a lot of linux support for usb to modem network connections.
What's up guys?
So i recently burned Backtrack onto a cd and installed into my external hard drive. works like a charm. so far, one major problem is connecting to the net. It's such a hassle to log back into XP to access the net. But right now that seems to be my only option.
i have a desktop, and it doesn't have any wireless card into it whatsoever so i have to use a USB adapter. Belkin is the brand. Searched high and low and none of the solutions of others seem to relate to mine. maybe they do, i don't know cause i'm still a newbie. I've tried /etc/init.d/networking start, and wicd start. they both dont do much. so i'm stuck there.
my bro in law's router is set up and everything. i guess my Backtrack doesn't have a wireless thing going on? My bro doesn't really know linux to well so he can't really help out too much.
so i would appreciate any help that i can get, and simple steps to obtaining the vast World wide web. it's like 2 am here so i will head off to sleep. just wanted to leave this here so i would maybe have a solution when i wake up.
So thanks~!
TL;DR No Internet, Wireless USB adapter. Total FOB
If you don't have wireless then you shouldn't be using wicd.
Use an ethernet cable. I don't think there's a lot of linux support for usb to modem network connections.

I'm going to say from just what i read you should really install ubuntu and learn basic linux tasks from there and not work out of backtrack where you will probably run tools not knowing the actual outcome

"Back Pain From Sitting"
Back pain from sitting is almost always caused by poor sitting postures.
Since poor sitting posture is so habitual for many people, it is almost undetectable most of the time. And unless we know what good sitting posture should look like, how would anyone know the difference?
Sometimes the key factor to healing back pain can only be a matter of improving one's sitting posture.
Eliminate Back Pain from Sitting
An easy way to eliminate back pain while sitting is to restore proper sitting posture.
Observe the following instructions to sit properly in your chair:
- Your head should be directly in line with your neck. Having your chin tucked in slightly. Keep the ears over the shoulders.
- Both shoulders should be level.
- The middle of your back should be straight.
- The hips should be in line with the shoulders and the ankles should be in line with the hips.
- When sitting the hips and knees should both be at 90 degree angles.
- Maintain a natural curve in the low back (referred to as your lordosis).
Why Do We Get Back Pain from Sitting?
As we deviate very much from the proper sitting posture, which often happens when we are forced to sustain sitting positions for long periods of time, postural dysfunction can occur. Whether we are working at our desk for hours at a time or commuting to the workplace, our lower backs can become rounded and the natural lordosis lost.
As ligaments in your lower back become stretched and weakened, or lumbar discs become distorted, you will find that going from a seated position into standing is uncomfortable for a few minutes. These are your early warning signs. The reason you feel this way is because the soft tissue in question has to change length and recover from being overstretched or distorted.
When we create an environment that impacts our sitting posture, nasty things can happen to our lower back. Ligaments and muscles in the lower back become stretched out (and weakened). It may also cause a distortion of the lumbar discs that are located between the vertebrae.
I would recommend you spend time focusing on using the postural muscles of your lower back in sitting. Over time, they will become strong enough to keep up with your current demands. Only use lumbar supports (lumbar roll or soft corset) if absolutely necessary. It will be difficult at first to sustain a proper sitting posture and absolutely worth it in the end.
Two easy steps you can take to relieve back pain from sitting:
- Start paying attention to how you sit! This means that during prolonged sitting periods, you must maintain the natural curvature of your lower back (back should be arched and the butt is sort of sticking out). Keep to the above guidelines for proper sitting posture.
- Break up your long periods of sitting as it exceeds more than one hour. It is important to note that these breaks should occur before any symptoms of pain start. Do not wait until you are hurting to take a break because it will be too little, too late. If you must, set a timer or use the alarm on your cell phone to alert you when it is time to stand up!

Zeroing in on Zero Tolerance:
What's it really about?
Tales of schoolchildren harshly penalized for seemingly innocuous violations of "Zero Tolerance" policies continue to surface in the media, despite lawsuits and public outrage. Here are a few recent examples:
For years, parents and students have been chafing under the nationwide policy known as Zero Tolerance. The tragedy at Columbine High School was used to justify excessive punishment for benign violations - to the point that the term "zero tolerance" has become laughable, except to the schools imposing the penalties and to the students and parents being penalized. The question is, why do these policies persist despite parental outcry and, occasionally, unnecessary legal action?
Some education researchers say these policies are the result of a process that has been in the works for decades and is finally coming to fruition. In her article "Zero Tolerance for Non-Compliance," researcher and author Berit Kjos states that both zero tolerance and mental health policies "are vital parts of a far more insidious program of intimidation, control, and cultural transformation." She cites a 1970 prediction by Raymond Houghton, Professor of Secondary Education at Rhode Island College, which can be found in "To Nurture Humaneness: Commitment for the '70s" (by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development of the NEA, 1970): ". . . .absolute behavior control is imminent. . . . The critical point of behavior control, in effect, is sneaking up on mankind without his self-conscious realization that a crisis is at hand. Man will . . . never self-consciously know that it has happened."
In 1934, NEA leader Willard Givens wrote: "The major function of the school is the social orientation of the individual. It must seek to give him an understanding of the transition to a new social order." A few years ago, President Bill Clinton put the same philosophy in more appealing language: "Teach our children to be good citizens. Promote order and discipline. . . . Impose curfews, enforce truancy laws, remove disruptive students from the classroom and have zero tolerance for guns and drugs."
Clinton's marketing strategy, says Mrs. Kjos, matched that of educational change agents who say one thing but mean another. The definition of a "good citizen" is a global citizen in the minds of leading educators. "Our new education system is designed to instill a utopian vision of global interdependence in people everywhere," she writes. "Contrasted to the exaggerated evils of Western culture, this vision looks enticing enough to motivate many to accept unthinkable environmental and social restraints."
"Using 'zero tolerance' policies to shock, embarrass, and intimidate students into compliance with irrational rules fits the plan," she continues. "Most students caught in the confusing web of federal regulations must endure long sessions in 'conflict resolution' and 'anger management' - two related psycho-social strategies used to instill a submissive, collectivist mentality. They have already become standard procedure in our nation's classrooms."
Columnist and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Thomas Sowell could have been summarizing Zero Tolerance when he told Forbes magazine in 1993: "The techniques of brainwashing developed in totalitarian countries are routinely used in psychological conditioning programs imposed on American school children. These include emotional shock and desensitization, psychological isolation from sources of support, stripping away defenses, manipulative cross-examination of . . . moral values, and inducing acceptance of alternative values by psychological rather than rational means."

From: The Daily Beast
"Bill Wolfe, a former DEP official who frequently blogs now about the inner workings of the Christie administration, compared it to a governor deciding that the speed limit did not apply in a certain area where a friend of his got caught.
"These are laws. You can't just assert politics to compromise science and the regulatory regime," he said. "I can't recall anything like this where you have two explicit denials. That is pretty hard to turn around.""
