Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is timeshare ownership?
Timeshare is also known as vacation

Play therapy is an effective way to work with children when they don't want to talk much in counseling. Play is the natural language of a young child. Children can often express their feelings and work out their problems through the play therapy process. I also incorporate parents into therapy with their child. Parents will learn how to better respond to the feelings and behaviors that are troubling the child.

Borussia Dortmund announced their Champions League credentials by sending Real Madrid packing.
Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring before the break when Sebastian Kehl latched on to a loose pass and found the Pole.
But the lead lasted just two minutes after Mesut Ozil sliced open the Dortmund defence to find Cristiano Ronaldo – and he easily beat keeper Roman Weidenfeller.
Midway through the second half, Dortmund hit the winner after Iker Casillas punched Mario Gotze's cross straight to Marcel Schmelzer.
Paris St-Germain took three valuable points thanks to a first-half double at Dinamo Zagreb.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring 12 minutes from the interval and 10 minutes later, Jeremy Menez doubled their advantage.
Porto won at home to Dymano Kiev thanks to Jackson Martinez.
Silvestre Varela gave Porto the lead only for Oleh Gusev to level.
Martinez's first gave Porto the half-time lead but Ideye Brown appeared to have rescued a point until Martinez struck again 12 minutes from time.
AC Milan's miserable season continued with a defeat at Malaga – Joaquin scoring the only goal.
Aleksandr Kerzhakov's penalty gave Zenit St Petersburg their first Euro win this term at the expense of Anderlecht.
Under a constant downpour, Zenit netted after Bram Nuytinck upended Aleksandr Anyukov.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
I hope this message finds you well, present circumstances stances excluded. I have many years experience dealing with DWI, on both sides of the issue as well as experience in dealing with administrative bodies such as the Nursing Board. It is a pleasure to assist you with this issue.
The hold placed by the Nursing Board is a mandatory protocol relative to the licensing process. It is odd that once you have completed the testing and licensing process, an DWI will not result in a suspension of your license unless it is deemed a felony DWI. That said, unfortunately, this is standard operating procedure and there may be no way to persuade the board differently.
However, since DWI and court docketing can take time, and in view of the necessity to take the test to receive a license and begin practice, there may be some steps to take that may move things along.
The first thing is that the attorney can request an extension of your son's driving privileges until such time as a trial on the merits may be had. The Texas DMV will recognize and process such a request and order of the court without much thought as they happen every day. This will keep your son's license permanently active until the trial date. This is also a back door way to receive a trial date because the court likes to know when the end of this extension may be. These same documents could then be filed with the Nursing Board with a request to sit for the exam in the mean time. The nursing board may or may not recognize and grant this request even in view of the documents. However, they are not prohibited from recognizing this court order and may very well decide to at least let him sit for the test in view of his active driver license, his proactive nature in attempting to resolve the matter as well as the lack of conviction in the present time and foreseeable future.
In summary, his attorney needs to file a motion for extension of his driving privileges until a trial can be had and needs to file a simultaneous motion for a trial setting. When orders are given by the court on both counts, these need to be immediately transmitted to the Nursing Board with a request to sit for the NCLEX exam.
I would not go to the expense of hiring another attorney just yet. I would also not wait it out. Be as proactive as possible.
Let me know if you have any other questions or comments. I want to make sure you are satisfied with the answers given.
Best wishes going forward.

hello all,
Please, i need to Select all posts with a Term on the Title Then insert them to a Category, how to do that!
at least i can Get all the Posts by using this :
FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_title LIKE '%CSS%'
But how to insert this result to a specific Category !?
Thank you in advance
Well post WP 2.5 how categories are stored has changed. Now its stored under term_taxonomy.
From what I understand you want a group of posts to be added to another category. So after you select you will need to then update specific term values by joining tables.
If the number of entries is less - I guess its better you simply go to posts and modify / update the category by selecting multiple posts and at once running update.
If you still wish to go via the database route - these posts might help you
Finally this what i did even though i had more than 2000 posts to organize! Thank you for your help

Combined Men's and Women's Results (pdf)
PHILADELPHIA - With 24 underclassmen opposing just six seniors, the 2012-13 version of the women's swimming team is undoubtedly on the young side. Fortunately, the talent that was on display Saturday might just balance out some of the inexperience. With five wins in individual races coming courtesy of freshmen, and an all-freshman relay team taking home the 200 Medley Relay, the Quakers cruised to a 174-125 victory over the visiting UConn Huskies on Saturday at Sheerr Pool.
Penn set the tone for the day in the 200 Medley Relay. Lauren Church established a large lead for her 'A' team in the first 50 yards and it only grew from there with Catherine Yee, Rachel Astles and Emily Baturka each expanding on their team's edge. Penn claimed the victory with a time of 1:47.02 while the Quaker 'B' team of Lauryn Brown, Dayae Choi, Taylor Sneed and Christina Hurley was second in 1:48.82.
As has become custom over the past two seasons, junior Shelby Fortin won her first race of the season in the 1000 Freestyle (9:56.85), finishing over 24 seconds clear of UConn's runner-up. Later in the day she would add another win in the 100 Freestyle, touching the wall in 51.14 ahead of Choi, who finished second in 52.51.
A pair of freshmen went 1-2 in the 200 Freestyle with Sydney Stinner (1:52.22) and Morgan Scott (1:53.00) placing ahead of the three Connecticut swimmers in the race. Stinner added a second win in the 500 Freestyle, clocking in at 5:00.96. Church joined her in winning twice on Saturday. The freshman had her way in the backstroke, winning both the 100 (57.54) and 200 (2:04.87). In the 50 Freestyle, Baturka outsprinted Chinyere Pigot of UConn, winning by eight-hundredths of a second with a time of 24.23.
Sneed and Melissa Parratto made sure that the freshmen didn't have all the fun. Sneed, the school record holder in the 100 Butterfly, nipped the freshman Astles in that event with a time of 58.26 to 58.36. Brown joined them in 58.89 to ensure a 1-2-3 finish for the Quakers in the race.
Parratto, a senior, was a double winner as well. Her time of 2:05.11 easily outdistanced the pack in the 200 Butterfly and she teamed with Megan Alexander and Katherine Ashenfelter for a 1-2-3 finish in the 200 IM.
Penn is home once again next weekend, facing an Ivy League tri-meet with Cornell and Princeton on Friday afternoon. Diving will get started at 1 p.m. with swimming set to begin at 3:30 p.m. from Sheerr Pool.

The first is a 6'ft.10" Bing Dharma quad fin with Futures Controllers fins. Has a Volan deck patch.
Flawless. No dings dents or pressure dings.
This is some info from the Bing site:
The Dharma blends modern surfing with the subtleties of riding a retro fish. This board was designed to catch a lot of waves, supplying endless amounts of fun to wave riders alike. Matt and I set out to design a board that was not only fast down the line but also turned with laser sharp precision and could pivot in the pocket. The flat nose rocker gives you optimum glide and paddle. The beveled rail and concave deck concept lessens the volume for increased sensitivity in rail-to-rail turns. The butt tail provides multiple pivot points for quick direction changes. The outcome of this quad-finned, butt-tail wave whip is hands-down the most fun fish I've surfed. This design works great back-side and front and is a perfect blend of front-foot speed and back-footed shredding. Suitable for clean lines, barrel riding, full rail turns and a perfect platform to take your aerial antics to the next level.
6'10" 22 3/4" 2 7/8" Volume: 48.90"
New this board retails for $695 w/o the fins.
Firm at $475
Attachment 10227
Attachment 10228
Second is a vintage 1967 G&S Skip Frye Double Eagle. Original waveset fin.
Edit: The board is 9ft.8"
I rescued this board and had it professionally gone over. All dings pro repaired board is straight and watertight. Not bad for a 47 year old board.

Yeah, not quite as tall but bit on the heavy side so volume was important. This boards got mad float and performs admirably in mush to juice.
Yes, they glide right over mush. I forgot that I have a friend, smaller than me that bought a 6'10". He planned on using it in the winter with a full suit, and as a substitute for a longboard. Not sure if he ever uses it since he has 20 boards, lol. Well good luck with the sale, they are fun.

Yes, there is an information in the ports collection about FAST_IPSEC:

If vpnc fails with

check your kernel configuration. The ESP protocol is only
enabled for FAST_IPSEC (this cannot be configured together with
IPSEC). See LINT for further details.

M0n0wall is using FAST_IPSEC kernel option, so no problem, I thought :-(
There must be another problem with the options compiled in m0n0wall,
because it's not possible to open a raw socket to the ESP port (as in
tunip.c). Maybe someone can track this down. Here is a sample code to
play with:
---< schnipp >---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
int main() {
int fd;
fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ESP);
printf("fd = %d\n", fd);
if (fd == -1)

Any hints?

Justices Allow Dumping of Gold-Mine Waste in Lake
(CN) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday upheld a Bush-era permit to dump millions of tons of gold-mine tailings into Alaska's Lower Slate Lake, a move that even the government admits will wipe out the lake's fish and most other aquatic life.
On a 6-3 vote, the high court determined that the Army Corps of Engineers - and not the Environmental Protection Agency - had the authority to issue the permits. The ruling overturns the 9th Circuit's decision to vacate the permits on the grounds that they violated the Clean Water Act.
The justices found the permits lawful, despite environmentalists' objection that the Corps violated EPA performance standards for "froth-flotation" gold mines, or mines that use a chemical process to separate minerals. This standard bars new froth-flotation mills from dumping any wastewater into U.S. waters.
The Corps had allowed Coeur Alaska to dump 210,000 gallons of slurry - including 1,444 tons of mine tailings from the Kensington Gold Mine - into the lake each day. The company plans to reopen the gold mine, which is 45 miles north of Juneau and has been closed since 1928.
Coeur Alaska intends to dump 4.5 million tons of tailings into the lake over the life of the mine. This discharge will raise the bottom of the lake 50 feet, nearly triple its surface area and coat the aquatic life with toxic slurry.
The Corps also allowed Coeur Alaska to build a dam 90 feet high and 500 feet long to prepare for the lake's expansion. The possibility of restoration is unclear, because the mine tailings could do lasting damage to the lake's ecosystem.
The Clean Water Act authorizes the Corps to regulate "fill material," including waste from the gold mine, so long as it considers the environmental consequences. Applying those guidelines, the Corps determined that the lake-dumping plan was the "least environmentally damaging practicable" way to get rid of the waste.
The Corps admitted that the plan would decimate the fish population, but said it was a temporary hazard; Coeur Alaska would help reclaim the lake by covering the tailings with about four inches of "native material."
The Corps rejected the alternative option of placing the tailings on nearby wetlands, because the resulting pile would be twice high as the Pentagon and cover three times as many acres. This option would do as much - if not more - damage than dumping the slurry into the lake, the Corps concluded.
When the EPA declined to exercise its veto power, environmentalists appealed to the 9th Circuit, which vacated the permits and remanded.
Justice Kennedy reversed, saying federal law clearly gives the Corps the authority to regulate "the discharge of dredged or fill material." Because the slurry meets the regulation's definition of fill, the Corps properly issued the permits.
Justice Ginsburg filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Stevens and Souter.
"No part of the statutory scheme, in my view, calls into question the governance of EPA's performance standard," Ginsburg wrote.

Lynn University dedicates on-campus Central Energy Plant
Published Feb. 13, 2014
With the new addition of an on-campus Central Energy Plant, Lynn University will now be able to reduce its energy consumption by 612,000 kilowatts a year, which is the equivalent of taking 90 cars off the road for a year. The plant is the key component in Lynn's $10.7 million energy efficiency program, which is the largest single-phase university project of its kind in Florida.
Lynn University partnered with Siemens to complete the project, and now Lynn's air-conditioning needs are being met by two 650-ton chillers located inside the plant. The Central Energy Plant also has room to add three additional 1,000-ton chillers for future construction such as new residence halls and a student center.
"The Central Energy Plant is a transformational facility in our university's sustainability plans,"said Lynn President Kevin M. Ross. "This addition fully supports our Going Green efforts, which all together will result in a 30 percent reduction in campus utilities costs."
The chillers inside the plant will help in Lynn University's goal of having the International Business Center achieve a LEED platinum rating, which is the highest award for 'green' structures. The Central Energy Plant is also the first plant of its kind in Boca Raton to use IRIS reclaimed water, which significantly reduces potable water consumption.

In the Year of the Dragon, the lineups at the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital are longer than ever.
Moms-to-be may wait two hours for a blood test, or nearly three for an ultrasound. At other hospitals, women complain of lineups beginning at 3 a.m. for the 7 a.m. scheduling of appointments.
"It's so busy!" sighed Sun Yueting, 28, while trying on maternity clothing in a shop near the hospital, one of some 17 million Chinese women expected to give birth this year, as the ancient Chinese zodiac fuels a statistical blip in the slowing birth rate. "I didn't care, but the older, more traditional generations like the dragon as a birth year. It has a royal connotation."
Babies born in the Year of the Dragon are thought to bring prosperity and wisdom to their families, spurring what is forecast to be a 5-per-cent increase in the birth rate this year. By a United Nations estimate, 31 babies are born every minute in China.
The result? Hospital lineups, in-demand baby nurses and a spike in sales of all things baby-related.
At a time when China's government is trying to rebalance its economy away from investment-driven growth toward consumer spending, retail sales are the constant bright spot in increasingly dismal economic figures. Retail spending in China grew 17 per cent overall last year; last month, as GDP growth slid to 8.1 per cent and inflation stayed just over 3 per cent, the growth in retail sales remained reasonably strong at 14.1 per cent.
Within that, the baby-care industry was already among the healthiest sectors.
"The growth is really driven by the rise in disposable incomes," said Larry Kung, the Taiwanese-American founder of China's Leyou chain of maternity and baby care shops. "We don't build a business on one year's spike; we've been growing at a compounded rate of over 60 per cent for the past four years. It's not so much any one year, but the rise in consumption."
For foreign firms, the baby-care industry in China presents a golden opportunity, thanks to a rising middle class, the country's one-child policy and new-parent anxiety over safety scares that have touched everything from Chinese-produced infant formula to toys and clothing.
"The single child is a very big thing for the family, so they are really willing to pay for foreign products," said Helena He, China marketing director of baby and child care for Kimberly-Clark, maker of Huggies. Among the growing areas are disposable diapers, as newly urban parents abandon the tradition of kaidangku, the split pants that allow babies and toddlers to relieve themselves freely.
Kimberly-Clark is building a second plant to manufacture diapers for the mainland but it won't come on line until next year, leaving them running at full capacity this year even during the warm summer months – when sales drop as split pants return to the streets – as well as shipping in diapers from South Korea to keep up with the rising demand. The company is planning for 20- to 30-per-cent annual growth in demand through 2015.
In the big picture, though, this little population spike will do little to address China's wider problem: its aging and shrinking work force. The United Nations Population Division lists China's fertility rate at 1.6, far below the natural replacement rate of 2.1. Economists warn that China now risks being the first developing country that will get old before it gets rich, and these dragon babies may reach adulthood in a society whose real standard of living changed little even as wages increased.
"In China, the labour price is still low but it is rising so quickly now in the last five years, and this will continue," said Zhu Guozhong, an assistant professor in Beijing University's Guanghua School of Management, warning that an increase in labour costs will in turn drive up all other prices including food, goods and services. "In the future, to an average person, their living standard may not increase that much because of these relative increases in price."

Looking fit in an A's uniform while coaching at their spring training camp, though, there's temptation all around.
"Some of the young kids say, 'Go get the bat and show us how it's done.' I say to them, 'If I pick up the bat and show you how it's done, I'm going to do it so smoothly that I'm going to ask to play again,''' Henderson says with a chuckle. "So I just try to help out.
"This is in my blood. I love being out, teaching the game. You try to share some of the knowledge you learned in the game.''
Baseball's career leader in runs scored and stolen bases is fitting in some coaching sessions in between Hall of Fame commitments, after being enshrined last summer. Much of his focus is on base-running, likely a key element of the game this season for an Oakland team short on power.
The A's hit the fewest home runs in the American League last season and, although they added third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff, they traded their biggest power threat in Matt Holliday last July.
However, they have more speed than in the past, with free-agent acquisition Coco Crisp joining Rajai Davis in a fleet outfield. Henderson has instructed them on getting better jumps, reading pitchers and sliding.
"A lot of kids are stealing headfirst and some are banging up their bodies,'' Henderson said, "and what I learned are techniques to take away the pounding based on how low you can get to the ground before you start your slide.''
Davis, who stole a career-high 41 bases last season while getting caught 12 times, is paying close attention.
"It's always nice to gain information from someone who's proven himself,'' Davis said. "He's got the stolen base record by more than 400, so he's obviously figured out something. He's already paved the way, and for him to share that knowledge, I'm really amazed and thankful.''

The Booker Prize was first awarded in 1969. It has been sponsored by Man Group plc since 2002, when it was renamed the Man Booker Prize. The Prize was set up by a company called Booker, who were at the time one of Britain's largest cash and carry companies and owners of the Budgens supermarket chain. (At around the same time, they also acquired the rights to the back catalogue of Ian Fleming.)
Until 2013, only original English-language fiction written by a citizen of the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland was eligible. From 2014 onwards, original English-language works by any writer, regardless of nationality, will be eligible.
The number of titles each imprint at a publishing house is entitled to submit is determined by the number of their books that have featured on the longlist in the previous five years. Publishers with 5 or more longlisted titles can submit 4 titles, those with 3 or 4 can submit 3; 1 or 2 longlisted titles allows 2 entries. Those without longlisted titles may only submit one. Self-published works are not eligible.
In addition to these, any previous winner or any author shortlisted in the previous five years gains automatic entry. Judges may also call in eight to twelve further books that they feel should be considered. Each judge reads every entry, usually around 140 books.
The Man Booker judges change each year and are selected from critics, writers, academics and public figures. They announce a longlist of 12 or 13 (in earlier times the list was often much longer) in late July or early August, a shortlist of six in September and the winner in October. The Prize has been split between two books twice, but the rules were changed after the second instance in 1992 and the judges must now pick a single winner. The prize is £50,000, as well as guaranteed sales of hundreds of thousands or more all around the world. It's also the only long-running literary award in the UK where every winner remains in in print.
Three authors have won twice, J M Coetzee, Peter Carey and Hilary Mantel. Coetzee is one of four winners to go on to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the others being V S Naipaul, William Golding and Nadine Gordimer. The late Beryl Bainbridge gained notoriety as the eternal 'Booker bridesmaid', shortlisted on five occasions without winning. Iris Murdoch made the shortlist on six occasions, but was rewarded with the Prize in 1978.
Debut authors have won on four occasions: neither Keri Hulme nor Arundhati Roy have written fiction since and the victories for D B C Pierre and Aravind Adiga left many commentators suggesting that the judges had been seduced more by sensationalism and novelty than the literary skill that more seasoned writers tend to offer.
Given the importance of the Prize to sales and to the reputations of both writers and judges, it is not surprising that few years pass without controversy of some sort. Malcolm Muggeridge withdrew as a judge in 1971 after reading submissions left him 'nauseated and appalled'. Patrick White's The Twyborn Affair was withdrawn from the 1979 shortlist at the author's request: White said he wanted to give younger writers a chance. (The award went to the then 65-year-old Penelope Fitzgerald.)
In 1991, Nicholas Mosley walked out, saying that he didn't like any of the shortlisted titles. In 1994, Julia Neuberger chose to disassociate herself altogether from the winner, James Kelman's How Late It Was, How Late. 2011 proved particularly controversial, with judge Chris Mullins' comment that the panel was primarily looking for books that 'zip along' provoking much media comment about the apparent promotion of 'readability' over literary merit.
The 2015 winner was Marlon James for A Brief History of Seven Killings.
The 2016 longlist was announced on 27th July 2016 and the shortlist was revealed on 13 September. The winner was Paul Beatty, the first American to win the prize, for his satire, The Sellout. Chair of judges Amanda Foreman was joined on the 2016 panel of judges by Jon Day, Abdulrazak Gurnah, David Harsent and Olivia Williams. Exclusively at Foyles you can read this year's Chair of Judges Amanda Foreman talking about the selection process. On announcing the prize, Amanda Foreman said 'The Sellout is a novel for our times. A tirelessly inventive modern satire, its humour disguises a radical seriousness. Paul Beatty slays sacred cows with abandon and takes aim at racial and political taboos with wit, verve and a snarl.'
One-off awards
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Prize in 1993, three former judges were asked to pick their 'Booker of Bookers' from the previous winners. They chose Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, the book which was also named the Best of the Booker on the 40th anniversary.
In 2010 a one-off prize, the Lost Man Booker Prize was awarded to J G Farrell for his novel, The Troubles, which missed out at the time because the Prize ceased to be awarded retrospectively and became - as it is today - a prize for the best novel of the same year, meaning that most fiction released in 1970 was never eligible.
In 2011, the public were invited to vote for their favourite book of Beryl Bainbridge's five shortlisted entries: the Man Booker Beryl was awarded to her 1998 entry, Master Georgie.

Hagatna, Guam (AFP) Dec 10, 2009
The governor of US-administered Guam said his Pacific island would be unable to provide a new home for a US airbase at the centre of a row between Washington and Japan.
As part of a 2006 pact between Tokyo and Washington, 8,000 troops will be moved from Japan to Guam by 2014 but Japan's new government also wants to take another look at the future of the Okinawa island Marine Corps airbase.
Guam Governor Felix P. Camacho told reporters late Wednesday the island did not have the capacity to provide a new home for the Futenma airbase as well.
"We are already challenged with the present numbers of the relocation of 8,000 Marines, and moving the entire Futenma base would not be possible due to our limited resources and capacity," the governor added.
Speaking during a visit by Japanese defence minister Toshimi Kitazawa to Guam, Camacho said he was confident the stand-off between Washington and Tokyo would be resolved.
Japan and the US are at loggerheads over where to relocate the Okinawa airbase, which was due to be moved from a city area to a coastal region under the 2006 agreement.
Since coming to power in September, Tokyo's new centre-left government under Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has angered US officials by announcing a review of the pact.
Hatoyama has left open the possibility of moving the base off the island or even out of the country.
Kitazawa told a press briefing in Guam Wednesday that no decisions had been made on the airbase but Camacho later said Guam's interests had to be taken into account.
"Guam's resources and the welfare of our community must be kept in mind," he said.
Japan's foreign minister Katsuya Okada said Tuesday that US-Japanese talks on resolving the airbase row have been put on hold until Tokyo clarified its position.

No matter what the hell it is, it's creepy.

A good return for a great creeper.

Well worth the wait
Salad fingers, the newgrounds classic, returns after a long absence. I think some have tried to mimic it's creepy humor, but have fallen short. This episode has everything I loved about the originals, mutated(?) characters in a creepy, baron environment with a story that feels like a humorous nightmare.
This is proof that David Firth still has the imagination to create salad fingers that he did 3 years ago, no Newgrounds fan should miss this!

In two recent articles in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa, Saudi columnist Yousef Nasser Al-Sweidan argued that the Palestinian refugees' right of return is an idea that cannot be implemented, and that the only solution is for the refugees to be naturalized in the countries where they currently reside.
"It is patently obvious that uprooting the descendents of the refugees from their current homes in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and other countries, and returning them to Israel, to the West Bank, and to Gaza is a utopian ideal and [a recipe for] anarchy. More than that - it is an idea that cannot be implemented, not only because it will upset the demographic [balance] in a dangerous and destructive manner, and will have [far-reaching] political, economic and social ramifications in such a small and constrained geographical area, but [mainly] because the return [of the refugees] stands in blatant contradiction to Israel's right as a sovereign [state], while the Palestinian Authority lacks the infrastructure to absorb such a large number of immigrants as long as the peace process... is not at its peak..."
The fact that these words appear in a Kuwaiti paper by an Arab columnist gives them even greater significance than if they would have appeared in some other news source. (Does anyone know how this newspaper is regarded in Kuwait and the Arab world?) Slowly, it appears as if at least some people outside of the general Pro-Israel community are starting to acknowledge reality.

Coach's Corner Set to Return Tomorrow
The regular segments, called the Coach's Corner, will highlight a particular position during each article. The coaching vignettes will include an article on the position, that position's preseason depth chart and an audio interview with the spotlighted unit's position coach.
The Coach's Corner segment will debut tomorrow, opening the 10-part series with a look into the defensive backs. Liberty Head Coach Danny Rocco has called the Flames' backfield one of the most experienced units on his roster, with three out of four starters returning for another go at it this season.
The article will go in depth into Big South all-conference performers Patrick Calvary and Ryan Greiser, along with fellow returning starter Kent Hicks. The audio interview will feature defensive backs coach Marshall Roberts, a five-year veteran on Liberty's coaching staff.
Below is a full schedule for the Coach's Corner segments during this year's August training camp:
Coach's Corner No. 1 – Defensive Backs (Aug. 2)
Coach's Corner No. 2 – Offensive Line (Aug. 5)
Coach's Corner No. 3 – Tight Ends (Aug. 6)
Coach's Corner No. 4 – Linebackers (Aug. 10)
Coach's Corner No. 5 – Wide Receivers (Aug. 13)
Coach's Corner No. 6 – Defensive Line (Aug. 18)
Coach's Corner No. 7 – Special Teams (Aug. 20)
Coach's Corner No. 8 – Defensive Coordinator (Aug. 23)
Coach's Corner No. 9 – Running Backs (Aug. 24)
Coach's Corner No. 10 – Quarterbacks (Aug. 26)
To tease the upcoming Coach's Corner segments, here is a beginning look into a season of "Unfinished Business."
It's not uncommon in the world of collegiate athletics for one to pick up a preseason media guide and catch a slogan pasted on the cover of the annual preview publication.
Youthful programs will often corner the market on phrases that involve "construction" and "building for the future," while themes with the likes of "on the move" frequent the covers of up-and-coming programs.
But how often do you see a team live up to its preseason billing? For those among the record-setting crowds to see Liberty grace the gridiron in 2007, they witnessed their beloved Flames do just that, in a season which saw the program go from "Good2Great."
In 2005, the Flames posted an abysmal 1-10 record, one of the lowest points in the three-decade history of the program. Head coach Danny Rocco, now entering his third year with the team and 25th season as a football coach, was brought in to right the ship.
And he did just that, as the Flames tied for the nation's best turnaround during his first season. Liberty's five-game improvement enabled the Flames to post a 6-5 record and a 2-2 mark in Big South play.
Following the 2006 "Season to Remember," when a stingy Liberty defense allowed a minuscule 15.6 points per game (ranking No. 12 nationally in scoring defense), Liberty's coaching staff deemed the 2007 campaign the year they wanted to move the program from "Good2Great."
Liberty accomplished its feat in diametric fashion in 2007, exploding on the offensive side of the ball to post unheard of numbers. The Flames bested the program's team record for points scored in a season by more than 100 points. Liberty averaged 42.6 points per game, ranking No. 3 nationally in scoring offense.
Liberty outscored its opponents by more than 20 points a game (42.6 points scored to 22.3 points allowed), enabling the Flames to post an 8-3 record. The eight victories marked the fifth time in program history Liberty had reached eight wins in a campaign and the first since 1997.
However, the more important benchmark for the program could be found within half those victories. The Flames' prolific offense stormed through the Big South Conference, seeing Liberty post a perfect 4-0 record en route to the program's first-ever league title.
"I think as you take a look back at last year, our theme for the season was going from Good2Great," remarked Rocco. "I think we were able to take that step, evident in the fact we were able to win our first-ever Big South Conference championship.
"Winning the Big South Conference championship was a great honor and an outstanding accomplishment for this program, which just two years ago was coming off a 1-10 season."
Following Liberty's unblemished mark in the Big South, unprecedented accolades were laid claim to by the team. Rocco repeated as Big South Coach of the Year, while junior running back Rashad Jennings was tabbed the league's Offensive Player of the Year.
As a team, 22 players earned places on the Big South's all-conference teams, setting a new conference standard. The squad also drew attention outside the league, with eight players being named to the VaSID all-state team.
Eight more garnered All-American accolades, including long snapper Dan Pope taking home first-team honors to mark the program's first honoree since 2000. Furthermore, two players moved onto football's highest level, as linebacker Vince Redd (New England Patriots) and offensive lineman Stephen Sene (St. Louis Rams) signed free agent contracts to play in the National Football League.
"What we have been able to accomplish during our first two years here at Liberty is really exciting for our program and our University, as well as for the community," reflected Rocco. "We are at a point where I sense that the support of the administration, the faculty and the student body is at an all-time high. I really feel and sense the same thing from the community, and we have very high hopes and expectations for the upcoming season."
Rocco has properly dubbed both his first two go rounds as the Flames' head coach, steering the direction of the program upward toward play at a championship level, not just a championship season. Lending the question, how has the third-year skipper labeled the pending 2008 campaign?
"I have been saying here in the offseason that our program has some unfinished business," stated Rocco. "I think this team is capable of being even better than last year, but we still have a lot of work to do."
In 2006, Rocco's squad brought a smile to the face of a two-decade veteran of defensive football by keeping points off the board. Last year, the pendulum swung the opposite direction with Liberty erasing offensive records nearly each time it took to the field.
This year, Rocco hopes his 2008 squad will be more poised, stable and well-rounded, finding its equilibrium in all facets of the game.
"What I am hoping for this year is a more balanced football team," remarked Rocco. "I want a team which shows signs it has abilities on offense to be explosive and to continue to be able to control the football with both our power run game and a short high-percentage pass game. Defensively, I think we need to get back to being a little more dominant."
A season of "Unfinished Business" awaits a well-balanced squad of 40 returning letterwinners and 12 starters, mixed in with a solid base of youthful players ready to carry on the rich tradition which is quickly becoming the trademark of the Danny Rocco era at Liberty.

If this clade is not common in Denmark that is interesting.
I guess one option to consider is that this really is a case where a there
was once a small local concentration. But could we be talking about a
pre-Roman movement? We don't know all that much about that period, but we do
know that some tribes from Northern France and Belgium, moved to England
around the time the Romans were making moves into the area.
On the other hand, like it seems you are thinking it also makes me wonder
whether this is really a lineage from inland. If you could regionalize your
data in a more refined way down to county or province level it might help a
lot in this case, because different parts of the North Sea are at least
traditionally thought to have had different North Sea invaders.

By the way, I1-AS1 does not show strength in Denmark or other Scandinavian
origins, so I don't know how seriously to take coast-hopping Scandinavians
into Frisia as a scenario for the I1-AS1. Given the heavy German
contributions to AS1 and the brother clade AS8, I am looking for the
movement of a Germanic peoples from further east moving into the low
countries and the higher than expected presence found in the low countries
maybe due to the area being fairly empty when they moved in --- as is
suggested repeatedly by sources. Why British AS1 has as much or more
variance as the continental AS1 is odd to me. It could be that AS1 was
rather inconsequential in a demographic way and only flourished on the
continent when those people moved west into contact with the late Roman
empire and for one reason or another demographically flourished due to that
association --- and this latter era was not that much different than the
founding of AS1 populations in England?

I think every child is convinced of the existence of ghosts and bogey-men.
Being asleep and dreaming used to seem as "real" and vivid as being awake. Dreams were the place where we found monsters to scare us. They came in forms that had no loyalty to the conventions of the day-world of mothers and fathers and siblings and people in general.
(Often these nightmares pursued us. Sometimes through dark woods, in swamps, in poorly lit and derelict mansions, inside our own homes. They might eventually speak, but often what they have to say is incomprehensible.)
Once in a while, monsters from dream crossed the border and would seem to occupy the real world. How many of our beds once had monsters living under them who might creep out of hiding at any time (but especially at night)?
It's a twisted sense of nostalgia that makes me recall the imaginary creep at the bottom of my stairwell. It's true that fear -- in the correct dosage or from the proper distance -- can be pleasurable and even educational.

NHL notebook: Flyers tab Giroux as new captain
The Philadelphia Flyers named Claude Giroux the 19th captain in team history.
General manager Paul Holmgren made the announcement Tuesday night. The Flyers say Kimmo Timonen will serve as associate captain, and Scott Hartnell and Danny Briere will serve as alternate captains.
Giroux takes over for defenseman Chris Pronger. Pronger has not played for the Flyers since Nov. 19, 2011, and still suffers from lingering effects of multiple concussions.
Giroux enters his fifth full season with the Flyers. He had 28 goals and 93 points last season, the most points by a Flyer since Eric Lindros had 93 in 1998-99. He was selected by the Flyers in the first round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Giroux has 78 goals and 165 assists for 243 points in 285 career games.
The Flyers open the season at home Saturday against the Penguins.
Red Wings name Zetterberg captain
The Detroit Red Wings chose Henrik Zetterberg as their captain, replacing retired defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom. The 32-year-old Zetterberg has been an alternate captain for the Red Wings. The Swedish forward had 22 goals and 47 assists last season.
Original owner of Sharks dies
George Gund III, the original owner of the San Jose Sharks, has died at 75. The Sharks said Gund died Tuesday after a battle with cancer.
General manager Doug Wilson praised Gund as a great ambassador for hockey.
Gund and his brother Gordon relinquished their ownership stake in the Minnesota North Stars in 1990 in exchange for the rights to an expansion team in the Bay Area. The Sharks played their first game in October 1991.

The Spencer Davis Group was formed in 1963 in Birmingham when Welsh guitarist Spencer Davis recruited vocalist and organist Steve Winwood and his bass playing brother Muff Winwood. The group was completed with Pete York on drums. Originally called the Rhythm and Blues Quartette, the band performed regularly in the city. In 1964 they signed their first recording contract after Chris Blackwell of Island Records saw them at an appearance in a local club; Blackwell also became their producer.
The Spencer Davis Group – particularly its incarnation with Steve Winwood – proved to be influential, with many of the band's songs covered by other artists over the years. Notable among these are Chicago's 1969 version of "I'm a Man"; The Allman Brothers Band's 1969 take of Davis' instrumental "Don't Want You No More"; Three Dog Night's 1970 recording of "Can't Get Enough of It"; and The Blues Brothers' 1980 recording of "Gimme Some Lovin". The Grateful Dead also covered Spencer Davis Group material in live performance on occasion, and Spencer Davis himself performed "I'm a Man" with the Grateful Dead at a 1989 performance at Los Angeles' Great Western Forum.............from Wikipedia.

The 4000 year-old shaft tomb has yielded grave offerings and pottery, but the race is on to retrieve these articles before the bronze age cemetary is destroyed by the very building project that was responsible for its discovery in the first place.

- 1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup almond paste, softened
- 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal with the cake flour and baking powder.
In a food processor, combine the softened butter and almond paste and process until very smooth. Add the 1 1/4 cups of confectioners' sugar and the vanilla extract, and process until light and fluffy. With the machine on, add the egg yolks and whole eggs, 1 at a time, processing in between additions, until smooth. Add the sour cream and process until fully blended. Scrape the batter into a large bowl and stir in the dry ingredients.
Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the lower third of the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden, puffy and pulls away from the side of the pan. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack and let it cool completely. Turn the cake right-side up and sift confectioners' sugar over the top before serving.

How the Services Stack Up
Hulu Plus
Price: $7.99/month
By far, Hulu Plus offers the widest selection of television shows I have seen from the major services. While CBS shows are absent from the content thus far, most of the other major networks are available, offering shows one day after they air.
This might have been a problem before the era of the DVR, when you would have to plug your ears around the water cooler to avoid spoilers, but now watching day-later episodes is not such a hassle.
There are some things to watch out for with Hulu Plus. When you research the shows you like, make sure they are not "Web Only." Some shows prevent Hulu from offering their content on set-top boxes, which means you will have to use a computer with a browser (and no, tablets and phones don't count). If that's no big deal, fine, but if you really want to watch shows on the big screen, make a note of this before you subscribe.
You should also be aware that Hulu episodes do carry advertising. Not a lot, typically 4 to 5 minutes scattered across the whole show, but it's not commercial free. (And the commercials tend to repeat a lot, which can drive you crazy.)
Finally, be sure you don't just sign up for the free Hulu service. It's okay for very casual TV watching, but for the $7.99/month, Plus is a very good value for the upgrade.
Price: $7.99/month
The king of Internet TV streaming, Netflix pretty much catches all of the shows that Hulu Plus doesn't. In conjunction, these two channels cover nearly 90 percent of my family's TV watching.
There is, for TV shows at least, a catch. While there's a huge library of shows to watch, many are only going to be available at the time of DVD release. This sets up a small conundrum: wait and get it for free, or pay extra to watch it now?
For example, I can watch How I Met Your Mother on Netflix but it will only be the seasons up to the season that just aired. If I want the current season now, I have to purchase a season pass on Amazon or iTunes. Or wait, and it will eventually show up on Netflix as part of the subscription cost.
This decision is really up to you, but you will need to factor in the cost of your decision when you put your spreadsheet together.
Amazon/Amazon Prime
Price: Per Item; Prime $79 per year
Amazon actually offers two key Internet TV services. Anyone with a normal Amazon account can use the service to rent or buy movies and TV shows in an a la carte fashion.
But, if you opt in for the Amazon Prime service, you will have access to a fairly decent library of television shows and movies to stream free of charge. The television content works with the same kind of timing as Netflix, but if the all the shows you want to watch are on Amazon Prime's service, the $79 annual fee will save you a little money over Netflix ($16.88).
Amazon Prime's free content is still rather limited compared to Netflix, so it may not be worth the savings. If you are a big Amazon buyer, though, Prime gets you all sorts of other benefits, such as the free two-day shipping, so it could still be worth your while.
And I will confess that sometimes I will just outright rent a movie from Amazon's wide rental selection if I want to watch something newer that hasn't rolled to Netflix yet. Not great for the budget, but sometimes you gotta splurge.
Price: Per Item
Thanks to the perseverance and legacy of the iTunes service, there is a lot of TV and movie content on the iTunes platform -- easily on a par with Amazon's digital content (and way more than what's available on Amazon Prime).
But there are two big catches here: all the content is only available on a per-item basis, so if you want it, you're buying or renting it. That can add up in a hurry.
Another big issue is the fact that you can only watch this content on iTunes-capable devices. That means Apple and Windows computers, iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, and Apple TV. That's it. If you are a Mac household, or plan to watch the content on the go more than on TV, that may fit nicely within your lifestyle, but it is pretty limiting if you want services like Hulu Plus, which isn't available on Apple TV.
Other Considerations
First, there's the cost of the device itself, which usually ranges from $49 to $199, depending on the unit. Internet TV devices can range from dedicated set-top boxes such as the Apple TV, Boxee, or Roku; gaming consoles like the PlayStation 3 or Wii; or many "smart" TV and Blu-Ray DVD machines.
Choosing a device is going to depend on one big criterion: does it have the services you need to get the content you want? If so, then you can start comparing and price shopping. Other features to use when looking at streaming devices:
· Connectivity to the Internet. Is it WiFi-only or Ethernet? WiFi works pretty well, but there's nothing better than streaming multimedia content over a dedicated Cat5 cable.
· Capability to play other content. Some devices have a USB port and software that will let you play additional content, such as home movies, on your TV.
· High definition/Sound. This is almost a given these days, but not always. Make sure the audio and visual quality is a good as your system can handle.
One thing you may also want to purchase, if you don't have one already: a good digital antenna. If you need to watch local channels (for news, weather, or sports), it's a must. These run around $100 to $150 for a good indoor antenna.
And then there's the almost invisible cost: the subscription for the broadband Internet service itself. You're going to need at least a mid-range broadband option to bring decent streaming into your home. If the cost of better Internet service will be more than the cable company charges, then all of this is for naught. Pay very close attention to the terms of service, too. If your Internet provider has any sort of a data cap on the monthly service, you could very well find yourself TV-less around the end of the billing period.
Once you have all the costs in hand, use the spreadsheet to add them all up. Don't worry that you will have an initial outlay for the new equipment you will be buying: focus on the cost per month.
If it's under the monthly cost of your cable bill, and you can watch most if not all of your existing shows, then cutting the cable may work for you. Go out and buy the devices you selected and get started. If there are monthly savings, then you can use those to figure out how fast your equipment expenses will be offset.
If the cable bill is still more of a bargain, or if you find there are too many shows you will lose, then don't worry, because this exercise hasn't wasted your time; it's proven that cable TV will work for you and you aren't losing any savings.
Either way, it's a win.
(Author's Note: Due to several inquiries in the comments, I have added an addendum detailing my own decisions and savings in my "Open for Discussion" blog.)
