MATTY BLAIR admitted he wanted to "go mad" after scoring Fleetwood Town's winning goal in the League Two play-off semi-final first leg but said "respect" for York City was behind his subdued celebration.
The former Minstermen ace popped up at the far post to bundle the ball home past Nick Pope and give the Cod Army a priceless advantage at the half-way stage of the two-legged contest.
The man for the big occasion, having scored crucial goals for York in their run to a Wembley double and Football League promotion two years ago, Blair was noticeably quiet after his 50th minute strike - merely standing in front of the away supporters while he was mobbed by his teammates.
Explaining his reasoning, the 24-year-old said: "It was a muted one. I've got huge respect and feelings for this football club but I am a Fleetwood Town player and I am desperate to get them all the way. I kept it as respectful as I could but I did want to go mad, which is understandable.
"It is business. I want to score as many as I can, that's my job. I've got two in two games now and I should have had a third, so I am a bit disappointed with that. Let's make it three in three and four in four, why not?"
Blair said that City right back Lanre Oyebanjo was unlucky not to have prevented his goalbound effort from crossing the line, admitting there was a slice of fortune in the shot. He added that he would be aiming to get on the scoresheet again in the return leg on Friday.
"I was at the back post and I thought Lanre made a brilliant first block," Blair said. "He was very unlucky that it just bounced straight back to me and I just tapped it round him. I am not going to grump over that too much. I will take it and I will score again on Friday, hopefully.
"It happened very quickly. The ball came over and I hit it well enough and Banj has just threw himself in front of it and it just popped up. It happened too quickly for me even to think but it is fortunate for us."

(According to a news report by the daily Sunday Telegraph, Lahkhdar Brahimi, the UN peace envoy to Syria, is planning to form a peace force of three thousand soldiers in Syria. In the news report, it is claimed that the Western countries will resist this opinion saying that Syria is not Libya and the entry of European soldiers in the region may be perceived as a military intervention of the West in the region.)
This is not something to worry about, they will just blockade the country from the sea and the land. This would have a very positive psychological impact. It would also be a good opportunity for the government to withdraw and for Assad to save his life. For instance, the force in question can say, "We side with Assad and we will protect him." Then Assad will feel extremely relieved. He can run away by a helicopter and save his life, or five or ten choppers can land in that region where he lives and take him. He probably feels very uneasy because of the crime ring. He is a captive in his hands.
(A buffer zone with a new camp is being formed on the Syrian border. In this camp which is located in the village of Kah, which is very close to the Turkish border, five thousand people will live. The refugees state that they feel secure, for there is a military region only 30 kilometers from the camp.)
But of course in case of an attack, the refugees must be defended immediately. It would be beneficial to enter inside Syria and form a military line. This has nothing to do with invasion, it is a measure to protect the citizens there. Nobody would like to see the division of Syria, no one sets his eyes on the Syrian lands, but if there is a problem about security of lives, and those people vigorously call for help, then we cannot say, "Let's think about it for a moment."
The system of Mahdi has enclosed everywhere. Notice that even the state policy is designed according to the system of Mahdi. Allah designs the foreign policies of America and Israel in compliance with the system of Mahdi. The Arab Spring is in fact the Spring of the system of Mahdi, but one needs to look carefully in order to see.
Turkey is the country that ranks the first in the number of people who believe in Hazrat Mahdi (as). Then comes Iraq.
In the hadith, it is stated that the scholars from Kufa will love him very much. There is a eference to Iraq here, as you will notice. But the actual homeland of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is Turkey and our Prophet (saas) praised Turkey. 65 percent of Turkish people believe that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear.

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards
I already made a post about Katy Perry's breasts – Why say more? – but here are some more red carpet shots that I honestly can't get it up for because, let's be frank, the Grammys are the most sycophantic, middle of the road awards show out there. They take the blandest, corporate music recorded and fellate it on live television for three hours. Just look at the nominees: Lady GaGa, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber. It's like a 14-year-old girl's iPod. Had Robert Pattinson made a dance song, you'd still hear the shrieking hovering over the Rockies, and one guy going, "No, seriously, an egg?"

Carroll County State Bank employees sharing holiday recipes include (front, from left) Mary Bruner, Jane Espenhover, Sandy Boell, Sharon Duff, (second row) Janet Olerich, Corrine Stewart, Mary Jo Steinkamp, Terry Vetter, (third row) Lynn Riesberg, Sheilia Johnson, Sharday Eischeid, (fourth row) Linda Boell, Shelle Mosher and Tamara Bonney.
No matter the occasion Carroll County State Bank employees have a good reason to bring food to share - there are plenty of great cooks and bakers who work at the bank. Oftentimes recipes are shared with one another.
Every year employees share birthday and holiday treats. They also hold an annual bake sale to raise money for American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
Yummy Popcorn
Mary Jo Steinkamp, Vice President Real Estate Lending Department
This is a yummy treat perfect for the break room at work, but hurry if you want some, it will be gone in a flash!
Pop 3 bags of microwave popcorn (plain variety works best). I sort the popcorn and discard the unpopped kernels.
Melt 3-4 squares of vanilla almond bark with a bag of white chocolate chips. Drizzle mixture over popped popcorn and stir throughout. Cool and then add M&Ms (I use the holiday M&Ms). May add salted nuts, if desired.
Surprise Bars
Corrine Stewart, Personal Banker/Teller
Not only are these bars a family staple for Corrine's family, they're also a necessity. When her children were in school and announced they needed bars the next day, this was a "go-to" recipe for Corrine.
4 cups quick oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oleo, melted
6 oz chocolate chips
½ cup peanut butter
Mix oatmeal, brown sugar and oleo until well blended. Pat mixture into 9x13 pan. Bake 10 minutes at 425 degrees. When cooled slightly, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together and spread on bars. Janet's mother often made rice pudding and other goodies. Janet recalls always having homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, cakes, and cookies around. However Janet says her all-time favorite were her mother's pies.
Gourmet Rice Pudding
Janet Olerich, Vice President and Trust Officer
Janet makes rice pudding for holidays and other special occasions. Her family always looks forward to this traditional comfort food.
½ cup uncooked Water Maid Rice
3 cups boiling water
½ teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup raisins, if desired
¼ cup margarine
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Measure rice, boiling water and salt into top of double boiler. Cook over rapidly boiling water until rice is tender, about 40 minutes. Stir in sweetened condensed milk, margarine and raisins. Cook, stirring frequently over boiling water, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm or cold.
Makes 8 servings (about ½ cup each)

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Cincinnati area chamber of commerce is launching its effort to provide financing for economic development to minority-owned businesses.

A REDDITCH gym is offering a special mother and daughter membership package, to help tackle the rising problem of teenage obesity.
Obesity among adolescents is common in the UK, with around one in five 11-15 year olds being significantly overweight. The statistics come from the official National Child Measurement Programme.
Girls are particularly at risk of being overweight as they move through the teenage years - a time when they typically become less active. This fact inspired Gymophobics, a ladies only gym, to create a tempting offer for mums who join with their daughters. As well as no men at the gym, Gymophobics steers clear of loud music and mirrors so that female members, who don't like some of the intimidating aspects of traditional unisex gyms, feel more comfortable.
The new mother and daughter package offers a reduced membership rate and those who join before May 18 will be entered into monthly prize draws.
At the end of three months all those taking part will be fully assessed and the pair who have made the greatest achievement will win a VIP photo shoot at Sharon Trueman's photographic studio, in Astwood Bank. They will enjoy the red carpet treatment on arrival with champagne and a one hour professional studio session. Both mother and daughter will be given a picture in a presentation mount, which they can select from the photos taken.
Gymophobics owner Zoe Cooke said: "The rise in teenage obesity is often the result of less healthy diets and a lack of exercise.
"We support all our members with healthy eating guidance as well as exercise plans based on our 30 minute circuit. Plus, plenty of positive encouragement."
Being overweight puts young people at risk of serious health problems in later life, including diabetes and heart disease. Teenage obesity also impacts on the person's emotional wellbeing. Children are often teased, which can lead to low self-esteem, negative body image and depression. However, with the right support and encouragement it is possible to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Those interested in taking part in the Gymophobics promotion should register with the Albert Street gym by May 18.
For more details, call the gym on 01527 453483.

Unless KPMG is now publicly ditched by a raft of big clients (which is unlikely), we may never know the damage inflicted on its reputation by the insider trading scandal involving the former head of its Los Angeles audit practice.
But for the firm's chairman Michael Andrew to dismiss it already as "a one-day wonder" in "a slow news week" was silly and premature. There may come a time when Mr Andrew should come out fighting, but it is not yet. Read more

Save Face: Doctor-Approved Eye Creams
Angelina Jolie
Her movie, In the Land of Blood and Honey, lost to A Separation for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes—but Jolie still appeared a winner with a sleek chignon and fiery-red lips. Later, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, she accentuated vintage Givenchy earrings with brushed-back hair and smoky eye shadow. But it was her pumped-up locks, smoldering eyes, and ruby pout at the Oscars that really blew us away. How is it possible that a mere mortal looks this perfect?
Viola Davis
After television stints on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and The United States of Tara, Davis got the recognition she deserved, thanks to a star-making role in The Help. She won Best Actress at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and she also gets kudos for flaunting her natural hair at the Oscars! Her wigs at the Globes and SAGs were stylish but we prefer her without; her metallic green eye shadow was also a nice touch.

I was on an internet marketing conference call and it was said that no digital download page can be made secure from being found by anyone who wants to. It was also said that the only secure pages would be on membership sites, which, of course are pricy (to me it seems they are pricy). Is this true or are there things that we can do for a digital download?
Thanks for your help.
The way to secure a digital download is to store the files above the public level of the site. After purchase, the user is directed to a page that doesn't link directly to the document but to a request to a php script that delivers the file if the appropriate credentials are met.
Just thought I'd second this comment - I've used LinkLok for several client projects, and it works like a charm. Very easy to set up, and secure enough. Highly recommended.
Alas nope, not at this point, the closest thing there is to that is product activation like you get in MS products where the cease to function if the product key doesn't match the machine it's meant to be registered too. If it's anything other than software, you're pretty much in a no win situation (people can crack activation too).
PS: Tron is awesome, there is a new Tron 2.0 movie coming out soon, the trailers look amazing. >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HcsDc_9LX8
These are terrific solutions to what we are dealing with in terms of LinkLok, and php files above the root, and E-junkie. I think php files are probably beyond us, but the others are workable. Thank you very much - this is just what we needed, I'm sure.
Alex, I don't know if you know the movie Tron, but it was rumored to have codes within the film (at that time film meant VHS) so that if a person tried to make copies, they got gobbledygook. Will that be invented for digital downloads? Has it already been invented?
There are many honest people in the world who know that the authors of these downloads have rent to pay like everyone else, and may these wonderful people be our customers.
Thanks again.
PS Tron, now that's a movie to show to a programmers' convention!
The real problem you need to think about is what happens when the end user gets hold of your digital download, there's nothing to stop them putting it onto a torrent site or handing it out to the people they know. Securing your download page may seem like a reasonable idea, but it's pointless if your end-users then decide to make it available outside of your secured environment. You may want to look towards making the download publicly available and having some sort of verification mechanism within the download to ensure the end user is entitled to use what you're offering (activation perhaps).
If you are selling ebooks/pdfs, Adobe also offers a service that locks a pdf to a single computer. It costs a fortune, though, so you'd want to be a big business. Besides, this sort of thing really just punishes honest people, and is a real pain. Others point out that if your materials are spread around, it's a form of advertising--as long as you plan things well.
There are many honest people in the world who know that the authors of these downloads have rent to pay like everyone else...
Yep, there sure are. Apparently they even found one in China recently. :lol:
Yes, a lot of people place PHP scripts above the root just in case in the unlikely even the parser falls-over and leaves their web-pages looking naked with exposed connection scripts, etc.
If it is important you should consider HTTPS for obvious reasons.
Ralph, thankyou so much for this info - Linklok looks very interesting and is probably what we are looking for.
We are just getting our feet wet in this field, so this may sound ignorant - my apologies. We all have probably either Bluehost or Host-Gator, so we have a main domain and then add-on domains for whatever else we develop. We are on shared servers. Where would we put the digital products if we don't want them found by meditation hungry hackers?
And one last question, for now, at least, I know someone is going to ask if there are any free options, so are there? We are beginners with big ideas, but not master programmers - or even junior programmers, so I am afraid that has to be taken into account. Most of us are doing this on a shoe string.
Thank you.
Unfortunately I'm not the best person to ask, as I'm pretty ignorant! If you put a file in, say, a folder called /lala234looloo/, I mean, who's going to find that?! And of course, you could have folders within folders. LinkLok generates a random link that actually leads to that folder, but no one will ever know what the folder is really called.
I know that you can also place files "above the web root", though I haven't done this much, and it may be different on each host. But that's a common practice, I believe. If a file is located "above" the root folder on a server, not even the best hacker can access that, so it may be worth looking into if you REALLY need security.
Also, some other 3rd party services allow you to sell digital downloads and (I believe) host the files themselves, probably in highly secure environments. An example is eJunkie, so that's worth a look too.
For free options, I'm sure there are some around. LinkLok is a cheap, one-time fee, but if I remember rightly, services like Mal's cart offer a free cart that include digital goods (?). Maybe check that out.
Perhaps it is possible that no digital file is completely secure (I'm not sure) but for practical purposes I'd say it's not a big concern. I sell digital files using some simple software, and the url it generates is very long and I defy anyone to work out where the file really lives on that basis. It just wouldn't be worth someone's time—unless perhaps your digital file contained US military secrets or something. (In that case, you'd probably have a million of the best hackers in China on your case, on behalf of their government... o no, sorry, they've denied that, haven't they? :lol: )
It's just one of many options, but I've had good success with LinkLok.

HOUSTON - Juan Sanmiguel is one man who doesn't have a problem with people looking in his windows. He's all about setting up elaborate displays. And these days, there's Olympics history behind the glass.
Sanmiguel has been collecting memorabilia since he went to his first Summer Games in 1968 in Mexico City. He has his original ticket stub, souvenirs, and press material from the year leading up to the games. Since then, Sanmiguel has only missed three: Moscow in 1980, Seoul in 1988, and Beijing in 2008. You can find something in his window from almost all the games since Mexico City -- a silver coin from the 1984 in Los Angeles, a ticket stub from Montreal in 1976, and a bronze bowl commemorating the Olympic Stadium in Seoul.
Sanmiguel has some rare pieces too, including a plate from Moscow in 1980. That year, the U.S. boycotted the games because the Russians invaded Afghanistan. Yet, an American athlete was still pictured on the commemorative souvenir. Sanmiguel also has what might have become the Olympic pin of Texas, submitted with Houston's failed bid to host the 2016 games. Sanmiguel still loves the design, mostly because the the symbol of the torch resembles a jalapeno pepper.
One of Sanmiguel's most memorable games was in 2000 in Sydney, Australia. But it was rooted back here in Houston. Sanmiguel built a 39-year career as an art teacher for the Houston Independent School District. Retired now, he got to watch a former student, boxer Rocky Juarez, fight for a silver medal in Sydney. And Sanmiguel had the honor of posing with it around his neck for a picture.
Sanmiguel is ready for London now. His packet of tickets arrived in the mail a week before the start of the games. It included passes to public transportation, event tickets to Olympic Stadium, and, let's call it the Golden Ticket -- one for closing ceremonies. Sanmiguel joked that waiting for the tickets in the mail was like waiting for a child to be born. And this Olympic journey is the most expensive yet, said Sanmiguel.
"I never felt that it was a lot of money until this one. It's like a new car," he said, laughing. The ticket packet that came in the mail alone is worth close to $5,000. If you add in hotel, flights, and food, the total is closer to $13,000.
You could call it an expensive London vacation, but Sanmiguel doesn't see it that way.
"I don't go just for vacation," he said. "I go to learn."
And this go' round, he's flying solo. "I like to meet people," he said. "Usually when you're by yourself, you meet more people than when you're [with] two, three, four, or five."
His favorite sports are track and field, swimming, and cycling, although he doesn't root for any single athlete. But more than the sports, Sanmiguel is there for the experience, not just to witness history again but to be part of it.
"Next to the athletes," he said, "we want to be seen and heard [too]." Sanmiguel leaves Aug. 6 and, with a stop in Paris, expects to be back in Houston by Aug. 23.

Donations are temporarily closed! (more info)
Our community is run entirely by player donations. Your assistance is what enables us to continue working on the server we love!
How it works
Donors receive one cosmetic item for each of the below amounts donated up to a maximum of four items. Donors can only have a total of 4 cosmetic items. Thus, additional donations after the first four will replace existing cosmetic items (or your items will stay the same if you'd just like to donate - thanks!). Cosmetic items automatically spawn inside of the player's backpack/satchel at the start of every round (see right). The item must be cosmetic in nature, but they will retain the statistics (armor values, fire protection, etc) of standard Marine gear. We can also rename the item just for your character.
There are a few stipulations regarding cosmetic items:
- The item(s) cannot be Weyland-Yutani PMC-based gear
- The item(s) must coincide with a reasonable theme regarding the Aliens universe or other futuristic worlds. For example, Fallout 3 gear is acceptable. A clown suit is not.
Cosmetic Items
$5 = One Default Cosmetic Item: An item that already exists in the code. It can be renamed to have your character's name.
- Raw .dmi icons from default Baystation (open in Dream Maker to view)
- Quick screenshots of some of the above: Suits, Uniforms, Hats, Masks
- A Bag of Holding that acts like a regular backpack
- Reactive Armor that has its ability to teleport the user removed
- "[Your Name]'s Beret"
$10 = One Custom Cosmetic Item: A newly-created (or previously-made for $10) custom item of your choice that can be coded and sprited by our developers. It can be renamed to have your character's name. However, other players are able to donate for this item after you've requested it and had it made for you.
- A Ranger Helmet from Fallout 3 called "John's Ranger Helmet"
- A suit & tie combo with a color scheme of your choice
- Armor with a camouflage pattern
$15 = One Unique Custom Cosmetic Item: The same as the above in that it is custom-sprited to fit your specifications (including having your name, if you wish it), with the added benefit of being completely unique to your character and no one else - ever. For example, if you want to be the only person on the server with a Fallout 3 Ranger Helmet, this is how you do it.
Additional Benefits
All of the following benefits are provided after any donation of $5 or more:
- The "Donor" rank on the forums, which allows you "Read" access to our Staff Development forum.
- The Change OOC Color verb in-game, which allows you to change your OOC chat color to anything you like.
- The [D] tag in OOC chat, identifying that you're a server supporter. You know you want the D.
What to do:
- Post a new topic in our Donation Requests forum with your information. Topics posted here are private and only visible to you and other Staff.
- Apophis or another staff member will contact you and work out the details.
- Ensure that your donation is approved FIRST before moving on to the next step.
- Click on the "Donate" button below to donate your discussed amount and authorize the transaction with PayPal.
- Retrieve your new cosmetic items from within your player's backpack in the near future.

Three men have been found guilty of the "callous" murder of a mother who was caught up in a gang war while celebrating her 24th birthday.
Sabrina Moss, a nursery school teacher who grew up in Grahame Park, was gunned down in the street by two hooded men armed with a machine gun and a shotgun in Kilburn High Road, Maid Vale.
Martell Ricco Warren, 23, of Station Road, Hillingdon, Hassan Hussain, 29, of Cranhurst Road, Cricklewood and Yassin James, 20, of Chaplin Road, Wembley, were all found guilty of her murder.
They were also found guilty of the attempted murder of her friend, Sabrina Gachette, with whom she was out at the time of her death.
Simon Baptsite, 29, of Rondu Road, was found guilty of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm and will be sentenced on September 12, with the others.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Partridge, of the homicide major crime command, said: "This was a callous act, committed by three individuals who were willing to fire a MAC 10 and a double-barrelled shotgun indiscriminately at a group of people outside a busy restaurant.
"They waited until a large group of people were together and then fired at their victims. It is clear they wanted to injure, maim or even murder as many of those people as possible, without any consideration as to who was within that group."
The Old Bailey heard how on Friday, August 23 Sabrina was out celebrating her birthday with friends at the Love and Liquor Bar.
After the celebrations, they made their way to the Woody Grill to order food, and two gunmen were seen walking down Messina Avenue.
They took up crouching positions behind the parked vehicles and from this vantage point, they had clear visibility of the restaurant.
Although police believe members of a rival gang were the intended target, Sabrina Moss was caught in the crossfire and shot in her heart and arm.
Her friend Sabrina Gachette, was shot in her back and received injuries to her bowel and liver.
Both women made their way back inside the restaurant where they were tended to by their friends and the London Ambulance Service.
Following the shooting, the gunmen made their way back down towards Messina Avenue and drove off in a car which was waiting for them by Rondu Road. They but were later arrested.
Two men who police believe were the intended targets were also shot during the incident and were treated for their injuries in hospital.
The firearms used in the shooting have yet to be recovered.
After the verdict, Sabrina Moss' family said in a statement: "She was a beautiful, loving and caring person. She had a larger than life character the fullness of which cannot be summarised in one statement.
"It would take an age to describe all the ways we have been affected and what we miss about her. We miss everything about her and who she was. She was an important key piece of our family, she is simply irreplaceable.
"Sabrina was a completely innocent victim of a totally senseless and callous crime and even though this chapter is now closing in our lives, we will never be the same and our lives have been forever been affected."

Vacation Destinations: Horoscopes for the Summer Traveler
Sometimes couples aren't always honest with each other about their purchases or financial assets. Do any of the following every happen in your relationship? If you want to, tell us what you or your partner hides:
"As a general principle, my husband thinks I have 'enough' clothes and shoes, so sometimes, if I buy something new, I just won't mention it. Not so much a lie as an omission."
"I hide money to spend on clothing, so there aren't arguments about this. I think he has a 'secret stash' of cash too, but not as large as mine."

PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) -- Nuclear regulators have canceled a meeting about whether cracks found at the Davis-Besse nuclear plant in northern Ohio should be part of the decision on renewing the plant's license.
The federal Atomic Safety and Licensing Board had planned to meet Friday in Port Clinton.
But the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says opponents of the plant asked to reschedule the hearing so that they can revise their arguments. The opponents say regulators should take into account small cracks found last year in a concrete shell that protects the reactor when they decide whether to renew the plant's license.
Operators of the plant near Toledo say the cracks trace back to a 1978 blizzard when wind, rain and a drastic temperature drop caused moisture to penetrate a concrete containment shell.

Did you know?
A quaint suspension bridge links Mazeppa Bay mainland to an island, a favourite fishing spot.
The majority of the Eastern Cape's hiking trails can be found along the Wild Coast, which many travel pundits argue is among the most beautiful coastlines in the world. It's not only wild, but also empty, save for the local villages and their friendly inhabitants.
These hiking trails offer breathtaking beauty, dramatic coastlines, pounding seas, a few shipwrecks and very few other people.
The established favourite, the five-day Wild Coast Meander, takes you south along one of the loveliest stretches of coastline in the country, from Kob Inn to Morgan Bay. There are a few long, hard stretches, but as local guides and porters are carrying your bags, you won't have a problem if you're reasonably fit. You'll stay at small seaside hotels each night, where you'll dine on local seafood and relive the day's experiences over a glass of wine or two.
The five-day Wild Coast Hiking Trail, from Port St Johns to Coffee Bay, is more strenuous but, whether you hike the whole trail or take a shorter option, the smiling hospitality you'll receive from the local villages at your overnight stops will overcome any sore feet. Porters are available if you want to slackpack.
The 59km Drifters Wild Coast Trail, along the northern Wild Coast, explores some of the area's best-known landmarks, including Cathedral Rock and Waterfall Bluff. You'll sleep in a comfortable safari tent and choose whether or not to carry your own bags.
You never leave the Wild Coast's gorgeous beaches on the 80km Diaz Cross Trail, which starts at Woody Cape in the Alexandria State Forest and goes north via the Diaz Cross and Kenton-on-Sea to the mouth of the Great Fish River. You'll enjoy luxury accommodation each night on this fully catered trail and porters carry your bags.

Conflict Of Interest In Politico's Policymaker Awards?
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Tonight, Politico will host an awards ceremony honoring the political figures they consider the "Policymakers of the Year" in three different arenas: energy, healthcare, and technology.
And just who are these lucky Washington powerbrokers whom other Washington powerbrokers have deemed worthy of recognition? In the energy field, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson. In healthcare, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). And in tech policy, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT).
The selection of Ryan as the healthcare "Policymaker of the Year" has raised some eyebrows, but even more interesting are the technology honorees, particularly when you look at the list of sponsors underwriting the Politico awards show.
According to Politico, Smith and Leahy are being honored for the passage of the America Invents Act, a patent reform bill, which was "the only major piece of tech legislation signed into law in 2011 -- a rare instance in which a bipartisan effort bore fruit."
Smith and Leahy are also the chief sponsors of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), respectively. Both bills, which purport to combat online piracy of copyrighted material, face opposition from big-name technology companies that fear they will stifle online innovation. Legal scholars have denounced the bills as unconstitutional and said that they are tantamount to Internet censorship. Perhaps most significantly, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA) both oppose SOPA in its current form.
Just about everyone hates these bills ... but the entertainment industry loves them. And among the sponsors of the Politico awards gala is the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the video game industry's chief lobbying group. According to disclosure records, the ESA has spent thousands of dollars this year lobbying in support of PIPA, designated S.968. (For the individual filings, click here, here, here, and here.) ESA has also donated $1,000 to Smith each election cycle going back to 2008. They donated $2,400 to Leahy in 2010.
That a chief proponent of these anti-piracy bills is also a sponsor of an awards ceremony honoring the chief authors of these same bills is unseemly, to say the least, and Politico should disclose this relationship.

(winthropintelligence.com) Francis X. Reidy became a full time member of the Saint Leo Lions athletic department in 1993. Along the way, he has served as Sports Information Director, Compliance Officer, Assistant Athletic Director, and Associate Athletic Director until reaching his current role as Director of Athletics in 1999. Mr. Reidy was good enough to offer some thoughts on the evolution of DII athletics, as well as advice for new and hopeful ADs.
What is one challenge that your program has overcome and one future challenge you see you'd like to surmount?
The one challenge we have overcome was being competitive in our conference and region. Prior to 1999 we had appeared in just three NCAA regionals and had not won any Sunshine State Conference Championships. Since 1999 we have won three SSC championships (Men's Soccer, Women's Soccer and Volleyball), one Deep South Men's Lacrosse Title, 2 Deep South Tournament Titles and one SSC tournament title (women's soccer). We have appeared in over 30 NCAA regionals.
The future challenge is to be a consistent challenger for our conference Mayor's Cup (overall sports standing award) and to be a regular Top 25 finisher in the Learfield Director's Cup.
What aspect of your tenure at Saint Leo University are you most proud of?

About us
The Grant Sawyer Center for Justice Studies was established at the University of Nevada, Reno, in the fall of 1992. The Center operates e-wide as one of the land-grant functions of the University. It was established out of a recognition that one of the timeless areas of citizen concern is justice at all levels of society. This concern directs attention to scholarship, social policy, and the relationship between the two. The Center was created to stimulate scholarship that would generate information about justice issues which could form the basis for informed social policy.
The Center is part of the School of Social Research and Justice Studies, whose purpose is to facilitate and encourage interdisciplinary social research, especially in social justice related areas, and to expedite and promote interdisciplinary teaching and development of degree programs among the constituent organizational elements making up the school.
The Grant Sawyer Center Center for Justice Studies has several goals including:
To encourage faculty, departments, and students with an interest in broad issues of justice to work together on research, teaching, and service activities of mutual interest;
To forge working partnerships between scholars, on the one hand, and practitioners within the legal system of the community, state, and nation on the other.
To join efforts with the internationally recognized National Judicial College (NJC) and the National Council for Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ), both located on the university campus, in seeking greater understanding of justice issues and better performance of the mechanisms through which justice is developed and fostered in society's institutions.

A week-long fire raging on Kenya's highest mountain has devoured thousands of hectares of Mount Kenya's ancient forests, a crucial water catchment for the country.
Described as a potential ecological disaster, the fire on Mount Kenya is now threatening the wildlife in the area as well.
In addition to being a UNESCO world heritage site, the second-highest peak in Africa at 5,199 metres plays a crucial role in a country fighting against drought. The green canopy retains water in the wet season, releasing it in the dry months.
"This region – I would call it the lifeline or the backbone of the country. The Kenyan people and the Kenyan economy rely on the ecosystem serviced by the water towers which provide rainfall and hydro-electricity," Susie Weeks of Mount Kenya Trust said.
Al Jazeera's Naznine Moshiri, reporting from Mount Kenya, said it was believed the spark came from people clearing bamboo to plant illegal crops.
Poachers also target the elephants that roam the forested slopes of Mount Kenya for their ivory tusks. Read more…

NEW YORK— Robinson Home Products had a strong focus on its Oneida flatware business at the New York Tabletop Market last month, unveiling strategic ways to strengthen both its housewares and fine flatware set business, and to expand its popular housewares carded flatware program for retailers.
One of Robinson's focuses was on reinvigorating Oneida's 65-piece expanded set fine flatware business, and it featured four new patterns and a packaging redesign. While some brides register for five-piece place settings for their formal pattern, some also look for a more casual, everyday pattern.
"The strategy is to present [Oneida's fine set business] more as a fine quality everyday product. It's still the 18/10 material, but [patterns are]a little more simple in style," said Ross Patterson, business director, tabletop for Robinson Home Products. Oneida's current set packaging is closely linked to its five-piece place setting packaging, which will remain the same, a formal black box.
The new packaging is less austere and features an eye catching swirl design on the front, with the words "Everyday Elegance" printed below the Oneida brand. The redesign also allows the consumer to touch the product and assess its quality, by showcasing a full five-piece place setting in the window of the box. Its current boxes have either no window or a small window with one or two pieces on display through it, he explained.
Recently debuted at the Tabletop Market, Oneida's Procession features a beaded band at the tip reminiscent of a pavé diamond wedding band. It has a modern design with a mirror finish. Colossus, also in a mirror finish, has clean lines on the handle that give sculptural shape to a flare at the tip, where a raised inset provides architectural detail. Mica's design is reminiscent of a stained glass window, and has a linear geometric pattern achieved with a bead blast technique. Edessa is a European-inspired clean modern pattern with an all-over brushed finish. All of these fine 65-piece sets retail at $179.99.
In Oneida housewares flatware, Robinson showed two new tiers in its 45-piece set business; previously the brand had focused on two pricepoints, $79.99 and $99.99. The two new pricepoints added to the assortment were $89.99 and $109.99, created in part due to price challenges and an increase in the cost of imported goods.
The highest tier was implemented earlier this year at retail and it "has not been a barrier for the consumer," said Patterson. In fact, one of the brand's best selling patterns at the department store level, Voss, a five-millimeter gauge, is at this level. It was previously at $99.99. "We did not want to cut quality or weight back in order to hit a lower pricepoint. I think if you picked up this product and felt the weight and quality . . . people are reacting to that as a factor and they are understanding that this product will have a higher ticket due to the nature of it," he added.
The price levels feature increasingly heavier gauges or more intricate details. Zoya, a new 4-4.5 mm gauge pattern introduced at this new price-tier of $109.99, features bold quilting that echoes the pattern of feminine lace, creating an ornamental design overlaid on clean, modern lines. The higher pricepoint allows for the pattern detailing to wrap around the back of the flatware as well.
"Everyone knows there has been migration [to housewares flatware]. The fine business has been challenged," said Patterson. "We feel that that shouldn't be a limitation. The material is 18/10 but we can still do a great pattern. This new tier [$109.99] has allowed us to experiment," he said.
At the market, Avelina, a decorative scrollwork pattern, debuted at the $99.99 tier, as did Chef's Table, formerly only available in open stock; Everdine, a sculptured shape with clean, fluid lines and a gently brushed finish, debuted in the $89.99 tier; and Liola, with its bead blasted design highlighted by the pattern of rolling surf and Reyna, a hammered pattern, debuted at the $79.99 opening pricepoint.
Also at the housewares level, Robinson has expanded Oneida's carded flatware program, which has attracted a new consumer, "someone who is looking for replacements or looking to add on to something they already own. It is more of an impulse business. It catches your eye: 'I could really use that.'" In contrast, a set is more of a "considered purchase," whether you are renovating your kitchen or have a "life event" such as a wedding, Patterson explained.
Carded programs present an alternative to open stock flatware; many retailers who have carried the latter expressed theft concerns and that merchandising it was hard to manage, he said, notwithstanding that they were significantly small ticket items. The Oneida carded program offers sets of six for $9.99 retail, in basic shapes and designs that can be customized for each retailer. It has worked well in department and specialty store housewares departments, he said, and high-end grocery stores have also shown interest in the program.
New Oneida carded introductions, aimed not only for self-purchase but also for the gift giver, he said, included iced teaspoons, cocktail spoons, cocktail forks and spreaders, and a two-piece salad set. The tabletop market highlighted its Aptitude pattern.
Robinson Sets Strategic Initiatives For Oneida Flatware Programs
NEW YORK— Robinson Home Products had a strong focus on its Oneida flatware business at the New York Tabletop Market last month, unveiling strategic ways to strengthen both its housewares and fine flatware set business, and to expand its popular housewares carded flatware program for retailers.

Topic: New Member- hoping for some hope, support and advice.
Thank you for this wonderful site. I have spent hours on this site reading and researching all I can since Mom was diagnosed with CC last spring. It's been a very scary roller coaster (and I stress roller coaster) since she's been diagnosed. I thank anyone who reads all this but I would like to share my story in hopes that anyone has advice.
My mother started getting uncontrollable blood clots sometime last year which lead us to finding the cancer (since we are told cancer can sometimes cause the blood to thicken). Once confirming it was Cholangiocarcinoma we were referred to an oncologist in April of 2012. They said a few spots lit up which meant it probably spread, stage IV.
Then came Chemo, Cisplatin and Gemzar on Mondays and hydration on Tuesday pretty much since then. After biopsies of the other parts that lid up on a PET came out negative and/or inconclusive and we were told it probably didn't spread. After one round of chemo the tumor shrunk 60% and chest didn't light up anymore but two lymph nodes lit up after another round it went from the size of a baseball to a cm and only the main mass lit up.
About a month ago, we were then told operation was possible. I was ecstatic but scared with the clotting something could go wrong but thought, out of only 10% of those with CC can get a chance to remove the cancer completely so we are blessed. I was terrified though thinking, what if she didn't make it after removing so much of her organs? The surgery sounds so scary but she was determined for a cure.
Two hours into the surgery we got a call that they were wrong, the CC spread to her diaphragm and very thin tumors (one being a cm wide) didn't come up on the scans but when they opened her up they found them, biopsied them, and confirmed they were malignant. They closed her up and explained if it spread surgery is no longer an option. The surgeon told us now we are talking about Stage IV for sure and all that can be done is chemo for the rest of her life and try to extend it as long as possible. She says my mother is responding so well to chemo she believes that's the best approach but I recall the oncologist telling us she may eventually stop responding to chemo.
I hear stories of people stage IV that are somehow cured and want to know if I have any hope of her being cancer free at this point or if it's only a hope of extending her life as long as we can. That's a depressing and scary concept so I guess I'm here hoping someone experienced something similar and is doing well. I'm taking her to Sloan Kettering next week and hoping there is something they can do to help prolong her life. The tumor is now so small I can't face thinking it will just grow again. We visited Sloan initially and they thought surgery was probably never an option but recommended the same chemo as the local cancer center recommended which is why we didn't stay at Sloan since the local place was more convenient for her. I'm wishing we stay at Sloan looking back. I feel the local oncologist cut her open for nothing. I know the "air spreads cancer" myth is false but with blood clots it was an unnecessary risk. Sorry I continued on so much. Thanks to whoever can share anything you can. I refuse to give up and won't let Mom give up. Any advice is appreciated.

embargo: For immediate release
Welcoming the announcement by European Commission President Barroso today (Wednesday) of a draft directive for a Financial Transactions Tax (FTT), TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:
'This is a major step forward and I urge the British government to support it. An FTT would provide much needed revenue for tackling climate change, global poverty and cutting public sector deficits.
'It would also help rebalance the economy, address the under-taxing of the financial sector, and reward long-term investment.'

• tittle •
Pronunciation: tid-êl • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A small jot, such as the dot of an "i", the cross on a "t", the tiny beard (cedilla) on "ç", or the tilde atop Spanish "ñ", as in cañón "canyon". 2. Something minute, incredibly tiny, smaller even than an iota; indeed, the dot on an iota (Greek short "i") is a tittle.
Notes: Interestingly enough, today's noun is unrelated to the verb (to) tittle, which was clipped from the rhyme compound tittle-tattle. Nor should it be confused with a titter "a suppressed giggle". Think of a tittle as the smallest thing or amount visible without a magnifying glass.
In Play: Today's Good Word originally referred to those itsy-bitsy appendages, diacritical marks, that are added to letters in some languages, "Red Herring almost failed French for consistently omitting the tittles on his written French." Although we classify today's word as a noun, it probably is used today more often as a quantifier, specifying how much, "When Lucinda dropped her ice cream cone on Harry Beard's head, he didn't move a tittle."
Word History: Today's word entered Middle English as titel, originally a variant of title, from Latin titulus "label, title, inscription". In 1607 Francis Beaumont wrote in his play, The Woman Hater, "I'll quote him to a tittle," meaning precisely, without omitting so much as a tittle. The same Latin word developed into Spanish tilde "accent, tilde". Somewhere over the years that followed, "to a tittle" was apparently confused with the phrase, "cross all your Ts (and dot your Is)", which also referred to exactitude. Ultimately, "to a tittle" was reduced to "to a T", which is how that odd expression wriggled its way into English. When we describe something to a T, we describe it absolutely exactly, down to the very last tittle.

Creating the first draft: Initiate it! Initializing the first draft of the essay is as important as completing the whole task. It has observed numerous times that the first step towards essay becomes a huge task for the beginners. Once the task of creating an essay has been determined, the potential author should just initiate the process of writing, without any fear or comprehension. Once the first draft has been created, the base and the platform for the essay is ready, ready to be launched for the final version.

What's more awesome than having your kid as the best dressed person in the room? Well, in all "non-shallowness," there are probably a bunch of things. But nevertheless, having your little one as the flyest dressed, even compared to adults, is still pretty dope! And once again, the Babesta crew has located another line to make this possible as Munster comes back hard with their Fall/Winter 14 collection.
Munster's collection really encapsulates what the flyest people are wearing today in the streets of New York City. And, at the same time, the collection also manages to stay kid authentic so they don't just end up looking like awkward "Kidults."
For girls, the Love Tribe Ruched Leggings really fit the description of what's fresh today in the world of pants. And we couldn't leave out the Animalls Digital Jeans. For dress-up, we love the Island Dream Dress. For the boys, what says fly more than the paper plane prints, and the spray can tee will definitely have your little one styling for back to school, especially with his new Spillage Paint Backpack. And for the really little ones, the Rollin In It Paint Romper is the coolest!
We can go on-and-on about all the dope pieces in this season's Munster collection. Check out the line today at Babesta.com, the leading stylista's for best dressed kids and trendsetting tots!

AMD's Mobility Catalyst 13.1 Update, Enduro Editionby Jarred Walton on 1/18/2013 8:08 PM EST
20 Comments
Back to Article
colinw - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkHow long have we been complaining about AMD (and ATI) drivers?
I don't use multiple GPUs so with my desktop PC it's not a big deal, but there's no way I will touch an AMD dGPU powered laptop in the near future. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkBad luck with AMD ?
It's not the bad year, it's the bad luck DECADE.
I am sorry but what is their problem man !
I can see what their response is to all the little amd consumers: " Why did you mess with anything ?! JUST USE WHAT YOU GOT, IT WORKED THEN ! "
" HIT F11 upon reboot and restore to factory defaults.. "
(probably the only way to get somewhat 'reliable' performance again)
" It's not our fault here at AMD, call your notebook vendor for updates. This thread is closed."
AMD is dysfunctional. The dysfunctional GPU family, by amd. Reply
DarkStryke - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkOh look, same old story and enduro is still a buggy mess for many. I believe I got called out for making too much of this with one of your reviews like 2 months ago, well it's the same old story.
Buyer beware, AMD is not worth the headache in the mobile spaces. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkIt's mostly the install process people have issues with on the mobility side.
I have an AMD Trinity Notebook and about half way through downloading the drivers using the verification tool it just conks out and goes no farther.
Downloading them manually via Guru3D is flawless and they install and work great.
I mean, why do we need a verification tool in the first place? Why not give us the option to download them manually and thus give us less of a bloody headache. Reply
duploxxx - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linktyping on a latitude 6520 with switchable graphics (INtel - Nvidia) doesn't work either that well. Only when I set the GPU type manually to what i want i will get a decent result. Often game startup will end up with black screen and hard reboot with the default Intel gpu unless right click select graphics to use....
oh btw, nvidia doesn't neither autoupdate the graphics so why complain on AMD only.... Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkAcer M5, running 306.02 NVIDIA drivers: right-click system tray icon, choose "Check for updates". I get a window saying, "You're running 306.02; 310.90 is available." Click the download button and away it goes. Same thing happens on four other Optimus laptops I have, including an 18 month old laptop with dual-core Sandy Bridge and GT 540M graphics. So while you apparently have issues on one laptop, I'm five for five on getting updated drivers with both Fermi and Kepler GPUs on NVIDIA laptops. And the drivers all installed properly on each laptop. Reply
Bob Todd - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkThanks for the continued coverage of the Enduro situation Jarred, please keep it up. As you surmised, things are still totally broken on a Sandy Bridge based Envy 15 (2670QM/7690M). Update utility says "the version of your graphics adapter is not supported". Looking for the update from inside CCC works, but the installer says the old driver (official HP bundle) is up to date and indeed does not update upon install. From a clean install, the drivers appear to install fine, but it's back to the old situation where Windows disables the card and CCC won't even show any hardware information. This happens with the default Intel driver from Windows Update or the latest official Intel release installed. So like you said, it's actually kind of a step backwards since the drivers don't install and mostly work on top of the OEM drivers like they used to. I was really hoping the first non-beta driver would do the trick. AMD, please keep at it until you get this working on older Dynamic Switchable Graphics hardware. To their credit, HP actually had their Windows 8 graphics bundle up for the launch, albeit with an old driver. Reply
milli - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkI've noticed that things are a bit different between the driver installation of nVidia and AMD. While nVidia's Optimus driver installation requires you to first install the Intel iGPU driver, AMD's Enduro is the opposite. The AMD driver will install the required driver. Maybe you should consider to first uninstall all drivers (AMD and Intel) with internet disconnected and try to install 13.1 again after a reboot.
Off-topic: can't post any messages from IE10. Works from FF18. Reply
milli - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkTo the Europeans of this forum, you can also download the drivers from this German server quite a bit faster than Guru3D:
(one time registration required though) Reply
thomasmorkeberg - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkI don't get how people at a hardware site can't even get a driver to work.
I just installed it on my laptop (Clevo P150em) with a 7970M GFX and it worked wonders.
The enduro settings is way better then in the 12.11 beta drivers, and almost all my software is now preset with what gfx to use.
And the performance is also way better for me. I went straight from 5600 in 3DMark 11 to 6600 points with the 13.1 driver.
Really don't get the complaining. For me the 7970 driver problems are now fixed! Reply
silverblue - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkI just don't see how this sort of verification tool cannot work. Cards have specific IDs that must correspond with a list... or am I oversimplifying things here?
I know this is a hardware site, but regardless of being able to manually install drivers, if somebody releases a tool to supposedly help with the process then it should really work as intended. Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkI believe the core issue is that some OEMs didn't want AMD releasing updated drivers. But now there are so many ID codes that AMD might simply eliminate any that they haven't specifically tested. Whatever the case, the full drivers will install in many cases but the utility seems to only work on a small subset of hardware IDs right now. :-\ Reply
Bob Todd - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkI don't get how you can respond to an article you apparently weren't even intelligent enough to comprehend. You think Jarred doesn't know how to install a driver? The success or total failure is completely dependent on your hardware. Folks with Ivy Bridge/GCN (official Enduro) are fine now. But this driver is supposed to work all the way back to PowerXpress 4.0, which it currently doesn't. At all. Did you even read the next to the last paragraph? Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - linkWell, it worked for him and his sample size of one, so it must work for everybody. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkthomas, use your head - all the amd catalyst hacks have the big A 7970 lappy they do their crap work on, so of course, you bought the big boy, and it works - amd gets the very top correct because they must do the very bare minimum - as far as everything else- forget it.
So the bloated heads of the catalyst makers get their own corpo issued speedy laptop working then they're done. " Hey it works for me, what's your problem ?! (comsumer complaining in amd forum gets told off by amd rep) ".
That's how it works at amd bro. The top corpo dogs have fun jacking with their corpo pig top tier and screw everyone and everything else. Reply
junky77 - Sunday, January 20, 2013 - linkWell, I used the 12.11 v.11 beta drivers and it worked fine for, but when I installed the 13.1 drivers, the device manager showed that the 7730M drivers installed are from the 8/8/2012 (there are two devices in the 'device manager' - 7700M series gpu and 7660G + 7700M). The 12.11 beta drivers showed 12/2/2012 drivers for a "7700M" and "7660G" GPUs.
With both drivers, the screen brightness control didn't work.
Using the factory installed Windows 8 that came with the laptop, fully updated Reply
dczyz - Sunday, January 20, 2013 - linkIts the only way I can get the ati drivers to work on a HP notebook. Come on ATI - unified drivers now!
My next notebook will be nvidia. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, January 21, 2013 - linkI didn't mention this in the article as I've previously discussed this, but the Leshcatlab drivers are the only way I could get anything to work with Enduro/switchable graphics on the Sony VAIO C and Windows 8. I'm not sure if the updated 13.1 drivers change that at all, but I did manage to upgrade from the previous 12.11 beta11 drivers to 13.1 without problems at least. Reply
dczyz - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI actually scraped Windows 8 on my notebook. Just to many problems with the ati drivers.
Went back to Windows 7, and the Leshcat's 13.1 and it worked great. I have a cheap hp dv-6.
Next notebook will be a Haswell / Nvida combo I think Reply
vias79 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkDownloading the 13.1 driver and installing it worked on my Dell Vostro 3550 with 6630M card. Was using 12-1_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc before that which I found in this thread http://www.ideastorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?id=08770000... Couldn't get any other version to work. The 12.1 version had problems though with my GPU not working all the time "video card reset problem" which made explorer restarting. These problems are now gone with the 13.1 driver.
So thanks for the article! Wish it wasn't such a jungle to be able to install notebook graphic drivers. Reply

Cox tabs Murphey as new leader for Middle Georgia market
Lynn Murphey was recently named as Cox Communications' executive field director for its Middle Georgia market.
In the newly created position, Murphey, who has worked for Cox for 16 years, will oversee day-to-day operations for Cox and work with local and regional Cox leaders to help identify process improvements and implement solutions. She will also serve as a liaison for employees, customers, community leaders and the communities Cox serves in the greater Macon/Warner Robins areas.
"I'm thrilled with the opportunity to expand my role with Cox and assume additional operational responsibilities," Murphey said. "I'm proud to work for a company that has a national footprint but remains intensely focused on serving the local communities where our employees live, play and work. That spirit of giving back to the community I call home is what excites me about coming to work each day."
Prior to her new role, Murphey served as the vice president of public affairs for Cox's Florida/Georgia region. In this position, she built a team that was responsible for the region's government and community affairs efforts, media relations, and internal communications.
Murphey helped introduce several of Middle Georgia's best practices to the region. This included a volunteer program that allowed Cox employees to take time off to volunteer and provided grants to local charities where employees serve. She has also served as Cox's local lead for the expanded pilot program for Connect2Compete in Middle Georgia, a broadband adoption program that's helping low-income families get connected to the Internet.
In 2010, Cox folded Middle Georgia into its Florida division as part of an operational realignment. Last year, Cox cut its systems from nine to seven, which included combining its Louisiana and Florida/Georgia properties.
