Our Youth Today
Today's youth (Generation Z) is very eclectic in their styling and appearance. They share a lot of traits and characteristics with the millennial generation. They have knowledge of electronics, are open to new social views, and use music as a central focal point in their social circles. Both generations love to listen to music. MTV was born in late 80"s and with the extension of BET, music videos were a vivid part of the millennial childhood. Similarly, YouTube has carried on the trend as a place that is popular for viewing music content amongst generation z. Gaming is also a big similarity the two generations share. Both generations have a fondness for games both mobile and at home. Lastly, the two generations share their passion for social interaction with each other. Most teenage millennial can attest to the notion that the phone was a major part of their teenage years. Generation Z also feels as though the phone is an integral part of their daily interaction as well.
Even with these similarities, a lot of differences are present amongst the two groups. Ironically, the differences arise in how each generation approach their similarities. For instance, both generations like their fair share of music. However, generation z tends to have an oversaturation of music. They listen to music in more places than the millennial. Music is more integrated into their daily lives and they are more prone to listen to music while they are waiting in between tasks, doing work, working out, or even reading. Also, the area of gaming is another area where differences of the two generations are more visible. Though both generations love gaming, the types of games and how they approach them are very different. Generation Z is more prone to accept cell phone gaming and one person games as enjoyable. They also love online gaming as well. Millennial love local gaming as well as physical games. Since I am from this generation, I can attest to the notion that we loved to play card games such as spades, tonk, I declare war, and rummy with our friends after school instead of the standard cell phone games. Twister and Connect Four was a staple in the house as well.
The biggest difference between the two generations is the method in which they choose to socialize. The phone is the common denominator. The methods are different. The millennials would talk all night with friends on the phone. Generation Z prefers text. The usual talking for hours has been replaced with texting for hours. Passing notes in class has been replaced with typing on Facebook. The saying" getting her phone number" has been replaced with" what's your Facebook name". It's now acceptable to comment on someone's status to say "hey" rather than give them a call. Socialization is still paramount in the two generations, but their methods differ vastly.
The youth today are misunderstood. A lot of the misunderstanding is due to the way they are perceived by older generations. If we look at Generation Z in relation to the Millennials, we can see the evolution of today's youth. Yes, they are losing a lot of core values. However, the way they interact is attributed to the digital era that coincides with them generationally. They still do the same things as the previous generation, albeit in a different format.
Our Younger Generations need our help. they need the "Real World" definition of a "Good Teacher".
Sometimes in life, there are words or phrases that can be very ambiguous in nature. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of coming across such phrase. One of my professors posed the question "What is a good teacher?" and immediately drew static general feedback. I could tell by her tone that she was in search of definition that transcends the typical responses. I watched her wave her head as she encouraged the class to reflect upon the phrase "a good teacher" before contributing any more comments to her question. As I started to reflect upon that phrase it dawned on me that even though the Webster derived responses were correct, I realized it's almost impossible to use the sole adjective "good" to describe that phrase in its entirety.
"Good" as defined by the dictionary is to be "desired or approved of", to be "correct or proper", as well as to "be somewhat of high quality but not excellent." These three definitions, while helpful, do not commit to the full scope of what "A good teacher" is in the classroom. If we examined the first definition, it is true that "A good teacher" is a desirable teacher. However, a bad teacher can be desirable as well by students who prefer a certain class decorum. If we were to use the second definition of "good" to define teacher, one would infer that a proper teacher would be "a good teacher." The question then becomes "What is proper?" That couldn't possibly define teachers because everybody definition of proper is inherently different depending on their cultural and social backgrounds. It is similar to the debate of "What is proper English." That is usually followed with the secondary question of "If your version of English is proper, then why can't my version be considered the same." As learned in linguistics, by default there are many different dialects most notably being a gap between the north and the south that would cause our words and some objects to be pronounced different. Yet in the society we live in, our dialects are tailored to our usual audience who considers that specific accent to be the proper pronunciation. In short, the use of proper to help define teacher would only open the debate for whose guidelines of "proper' should we apply to the word teacher. Those guidelines would run the risk of being culturally derived.
The third definition is a subjective definition of good. In this case good is not the gold standard. Good is considered second best if used amongst the words poor, good, excellent. Surely she wasn't trying to imply that a good teacher was a teacher that was second best. Especially since she wanted her students to strive to become good educators in the future. This is when I chose to reflect on my education over the years to come up with the perfect definition of a good teacher.
"A good teacher" is a teacher who is thoughtful, caring, and nurturing to their students and their abilities. Usually a good teacher disregards the things that the student can't help such as socioeconomic status as well as home life, to make sure while in the classroom, the student is provided a sanctuary that promotes positive learning. I find that a good teacher vary their instructional methods and tailor to students learning abilities in order for them to grasp the concepts. Good teachers should know that not all students learn or process information in the same manner. Also, they usually find a way to teach life lessons while simultaneously teaching academic lessons. These type of teachers are willing to push the academic boundaries to ensure student learning is a priority.
Furthermore, if we dissect this phrase without an academic lens, "A good teacher" is willing to meet after school if a student is having trouble. They can be visited outside of normal class hours when issues arise. After giving my thoughts, I realized that it's easy to get confused on what good is if you are looking at it literally. A good teacher has traits of the standard dictionary word but it isn't defined by that at all. That phrase have sensory characteristics attached to them that seems less impactful if taken from a purely literal standpoint. "A good teacher" is all of the other stuff that isn't mentioned in the dictionary. Those words can best be defined by the actions that accompany this under-appreciated sector of our communities.

Irish folks there have a legend of a drunken farmer, whose dealings with the devil led to him being turned back at both the gates of heaven and hell upon his death. Forced to wander the darkness of purgatory, Jack made an o'lantern from a turnip and lump of burning coal to guide his lost soul. Every Halloween, communities in Ireland would craft their own turnip lamps to scare him and other wayward spirits away. The tradition became pumpkin-ified when Irish immigrants found the orange veggie sprouting in abundance in North America.

I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable modern Jay fan but nothing compared to how knowledgeable I was about them in the early 90s.
Just this very night I found out that Vin Scully called the Joe Carter 93 world series homer. I've obviously heard the Sean McDonough call, the Tom Cheek call, the Philly radio call but was completely ignorant to the fact that Vin Scully was in the house and called the Carter homer!
Is this also news to some of you other older die hard Jay fans or am I just some astronimical statistical anomaly that somehow avoided knowledge of a commonly known call of the Carter homer in spite of being a monstrous Jay's fan in the 80s and 90s?
24 hours ago I'd have given 50 to 1 this call never happened to anyone proposing that it did. I've always took pride in my "I'm 100% confident" sport wagers when people propose bets that I knew I was right about. At only 40 years old I now have to accept 100% confidence means nothing, I'm shook.
How did I not know this call existed?

These Yankees swapped wives back in the swinging '70's
A baseball "trade" that made New York Post history occurred in 1973, when Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich, of the New York Yankees, swapped wives. The swingers made the switch at a party hosted by sports writer, Maury Allen. The drama that followed kept readers interested for months.
Diet soda could actually make you fatter
Dr. Mike Varshavski stops by the New York Post to warn us against sugar substitutes, such as Splenda, Equal and Truvía, which actually encourage you to eat more. "Artificial sweeteners are marketed as zero calories," says the fit physician. "But they're not truly zero calories." Dr. Mike also breaks down a recent study in which lab rats chose sugar substitutes over cocaine.

'It's a trap': man who owes $65K in child support for kid who isn't his says men are the real victims
A man in Texas is on the hook for $65,000 in back child support payments for a daughter who is not his own. According to Texas' family code, payments accrued before a paternity test still must be paid. "I have advice for other men around the world," Gabriel Cornejo told the New York Post. "You need to be careful."
Nearly all the presidents love pets, except Trump
Donald Trump has yet to choose a first dog. The 45th POTUS is one of just three US presidents to do without a pet. In fact, the vast majority of past commanders-in-chief owned multiple animals, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, bears, alligators, goats, opossums, and even a hippo, courtesy of Calvin Coolidge.
The number 1 culprit behind New York subway delays? New Yorkers
An epidemic of subway delays has incited outrage among New Yorkers. According to the MTA, however, the main problem isn't track work or technical failures; it's overcrowding. The rickety 112-year-old system is ill-equipped to handle the swell in population NYC has seen in the last 20 years.

Is sploshing the messiest sex trend on the internet?
Hide your wife, hide your cakes! Sploshing, also known as the wet-and-messy fetish, is making a comeback. Designed to spice up your sex life, sploshing is erotic food play, which combines fetish and pleasure. Los Angeles-based sex therapist Dr. Susan Block hosts sploshing parties and says she's seeing a spike in the food-plus-sex fetish, which some have even embraced as a form of visual art.
Hackers are turning people's own houses against them
As 'smart homes' (houses full of internet connected devices that can all be controlled remotely from a phone) are rising in popularity, so are the dangers. Hackers have already found ways to hack into most smart devices, and as these stories all show, they can either cause chaos throughout the home, or they can do something much more sinister.

This is a cool bag!
By Sis.
from MOOSE JAW
I ordered this one in burgundy. This is a light light bag with slightly padded, really comfy handles and a top zip closure. It does sort of feel like a really soft kid leather. The texture feels and looks extrodinary. Great tote for all ages, I really love this one. The only thing is that it is really dark, not as light and bright as in the picture.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hi and thanks in advance for your time.
We recently deployed Acrobat X Standard and Pro and want to let our standard users (ie those without admin priveleges) have the ability to update Adobe which is new for us.
Adobe's customization wizard of course has the option for this under Online and Acrobat.com Features, but when we save it and redeploy it (Win Server 03), the changes are not reflected meaning the average user doesn't have the option that admins have under the Help menu to manually update, nor are they able to change update settings under Preferences.
I would greatly appreciate a starting point to tackle the issue. I am thinking it's a Group Policy setting, but we have given permissions to users to be able apply updates.
Thank you Spiceworks community! I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

How are you deploying/redeploying the software package? Script? GPO? Are you making sure to include the MST in either?
Mar 9, 2011 at 12:27 UTC
You might want to check this other Spiceworks thread:
Mar 9, 2011 at 12:41 UTC
Hi, thanks Cazi.
We are using GPO and we are indeed including the mst.
On the Server side we also made sure to enble 'Always install with elevated privilege' and 'Enable user to patch elevated products'
I should note that I have not applied the updated changes to Acrobat X Standard yet as we are trying to get Acrobat X Pro to work first.
Mar 9, 2011 at 12:45 UTC
Thanks GadJeff for the reply.
Our problem is not actually in patching Adobe products, we can do that just fine. We want to enable users to be able to (when prompted) download and/or apply updates on their own.
We have many users who connect via VPN and don't get updates our servers push out, and we have users who may only connect to our network once a month, so giving them the ability to receive and apply patches on their own or automatically for them is key.
Oct 13, 2011 at 11:28 UTC
Answer: New Adobe products do not allow updates/upgrades by anyone except administrators for Windows XP. There is a convoluted way for Windows 7 users via UAC settings.

I started working a rather unique puppy store in '99. All the dogs were in large crates in an open floor plan and we routinely opened all the lids so they could stand up and greet the people. We loved them all dearly, as though they were our own.
One day a flight crate arrived with a Doberman and a Dalmatian. We set the crate up for them to be 'crate buddies'. This was the first Doberman I had seen in the store. He was the opposite of what a show Dobie should look like, though he was pure. He was too tall, had a blaze on his chest, was missing molars, flat footed, one of his floppy ears was caddywompas and the brown in the 'black and brown' was more tan than brown.
Despite his sweet temperament, not a single visitor took him to a play room. We could only assume they all believed he would grow up to be a viscous, child eating dog; a homeowners insurance nightmare. They couldn't be more wrong! And I know that this was because he was MEANT to be my family!
My schedule had me close the store and open the next morning, so I started taking the pup home so he could play with my Boston Terrier. Then one evening he positioned himself on the sofa in front of my (now ex) husband and fell asleep. He looked at me and said "We have a Doberman, don't we?" He was a 'clearance puppy' at this point...5 months old.
We named him VooDoo...Actually, the dog named himself. My ex said he literally heard it in his head when he asked him.
He was more people than dog. In fact, I renamed his breed 'Dober-person'. He had a few nicknames... When he went to kiss you he clapped his jaw shut after each lick, so I called him 'Croc-a-dobie'
When he looked at me I saw such adoration in his eyes! He was a velcro dog...always at my side. Slept with me in bed...with his own pillow...for 13 years.
I could write a book with all the stories of his kindnesses and human-like moments. My favorites... Of his own choosing, he started walking my friend Julie home at night and would wait until she closed the door before starting his trek down the sidewalk home. Hated water but let me force him to learn how to swim. Convinced me to give him his Christmas tennis ball early by retrieving the busted one from upstairs and tossing it to me while filling his stocking.
He took his last breath at home on the sofa on Wednesday Nov 14,2012...I was in Texas on business (brokenhearted because I knew he wouldn't make it until I got home). About an hour before he passed, our ADHD White German Shepard laid down facing him and put his arm around him. When it was time, my fiance said he picked his head up and tears fell...the clock turned 8pm and he took one last breath. Rob was looking him in the eye and rubbing his ear the whole time. I wrote him a letter before I left Tuesday morning for my trip and Rob read it to him at his grave.
I can't have children...Voo was my child...I lost my 13 year old 'son'...my best friend...He got me thru the death of my mother and other family members, a divorce and starting over. We did it all together. I wish he were here to get me thru this...
I love you, VooDoo...my buddy, VooDoo. Maybe, when the grief subsides, I'll hear the clickity clack of your toenails on the floor and the patio. I'll hear you sing when I start a howl, and I'll feel you lay down in front of me in the bed so that I can put my arm around you and sleep soundly. When I see you again, I will let you give kisses for as long as you want...Don't forget to eat your breffist and finish your dinner. And I promise the water bowl will always be full...Wanna go for a walk?

Holiday house vacation along Portugal's south coast
Algarve | The coastal region Algarve is one of Europe's most popular travel destinations. Wide, flat sandy beaches, beautiful villages and many leisure facilities are some of characteristics for the eastern part of the Algarve coast. This part of the coast, also referred to as Sotavento, stretches from the Spanish border to the main city Faro. The western section is shaped by its impressive cliff coast, idyllic bathing bays and charming beautiful landscape and is situated between Faro and Sagres. This part is also called Barlavento. The windswept Cabo de São Vicente is the south western most point of Europe and was said to be the end of the world until Christoph Columbus discovered America. Behind the coastal area which is also called "Littoral" ascend the peaks and mountains of the Serra de Monchique and the Serra de Calderao. The impressive mountainous backdrop offers lots of room and is ideal for an active holiday. Whether you want to go climbing, mountain biking, hiking or just want to enjoy the panorama with the deep blue ocean – here almost anything is possible and on atraveo you can also find pretty holiday houses in the mountains.
What else you can do around the Algarve? Interesting cities such as Faro, Portimao, Lagos or Tavira are always worth a visit. Besides that the Algarve has probably the world's greatest density of golf courses that will be very much to the liking of golf enthusiasts. Around the larger cities there are range of leisure facilities including adventure pools, go-cart tracks and miniature golf. In addition to this numerous day trips such as the lighthouse of Cabo de São Vicente will give you lots of entertainment.
So did you get an appetite for a holiday house vacation along the Algarve? Then take some time and have a look through the offers for Portugal's south coast on atraveo in order to find your perfect holiday home! Just a little tip: In regards to the Algarve atraveo customers especially prefer the areas around Albufeira, Lagos, Carvoeiro, Armacao De Pera, Tavira and Odeceixe.

Monday, Sept 19, 2016 Verona Walk & Fancy dinner We had planned Verona as a center for exploration of the cities surrounding it. However, Monday seems to be a "day of rest" in this part of Italy and we had no place to go. So we decided to see what Rick Steves had as a "Verona Walk."

This fish, caught by the methods and in the area listed above, is not the most sustainable choice of fish to eat. Click on the rating icon above to read more and on the alternatives tab below to find more sustainable fish to eat.
Sustainability overview
Swordfish in this region are both targeted for and landed as valuable bycatch in directed tuna fisheries. To a lesser extent they are also taken in artisanal net and harpoon fisheries off the coast of South America. The last stock assessment, updated in 2011 indicated that stocks were in a healthy state and were being harvested sustainably. Bycatch of vulnerable species such as birds, sharks and turtles is of concern in both the pelagic longline fisheries and net fisheries. Various measures are available and required to be used to reduce bycatch in the longline fisheries yet monitoring is deficient and their effectiveness is yet to be evaluated. Harpooning is very selective capture method and is a more sustainable option yet accounts for a small proportion of the catch.
Buy swordfish from fisheries that are well regulated by their flag state to ensure that bycatch mitigation devices are being employed and monitored. Commercial buyers in particular should establish what measures the flag state and or fleet is taking to improve deficiencies in reporting interactions with vulnerable species and specify the need for ongoing and demonstrable improvements. Large buyers should consider supporting such improvements. Much smaller quantities are taken in artisanal harpoon and gill net fisheries off the coast of South America. Pelagic gill nets are associated with high levels of bycatch of shark, birds, other billfish and endangered marine turtles. There are few effective measures to prevent mortality of these animals caught in these nets and the reporting of such incidents is very poor.
Swordfish is the only member of the family Xiphiidae. It is a highly migratory species, moving towards temperate or cold waters in summer to feed and returning to warmer waters to spawn. They are apex predators that feed opportunistically. Squids and fishes are major prey items. In the South-East Pacific Ocean (SEPO), spawning takes place in summer months. Usually solitary, it forms large schools during spawning. A fast growing fish, swordfish in the SEPO mature at 2-3 years of age, when they 115-120cm (males) and 165-175cm (females).They can attain a maximum size of 4.5m and a weight of 650kg. Swordfish tolerate temperatures of about 5 to 27C, but their optimum range is about 18 to 22C, and larvae have been found only at temperatures exceeding 24C.
Stock information
Stock area
South East Pacific
Stock information
The South-east Pacific swordfish stock is managed by both the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The most recent stock assessment was updated in 2011, and indicated that the stock was not experiencing overfishing and was not overfished. Results indicated that the spawning biomass had decreased to a low of about 43,000 t in 1993 and had been increasing since, reaching about 135,000 t in 2010t. At the same time as this increase, the annual catch by all fisheries was maintained at an average 12,000t during the 10 year period ending in 2010. Spawning biomass was estimated to be at 50% above the carrying capacity, and substantially above the level which is expected to produce catch at the level of Maximum Sustainable Yield (1.45SBmsy). Catches have increased in the last few years towards the estimated MSY of 25,000 t. It is not clear whether this is due to increased abundance of swordfish or increased effort directed toward that species.
A new stock assessment is needed to gain a better understanding of current stock status.
As for tuna, individual swordfish stocks range across and are accessed by numerous coastal states, making harmonised and effective management of these individual stocks very difficult. As a result, intergovernmental Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) have been established. There are five main tuna RFMOs worldwide and it is their responsibility to carry out data collection, scientific monitoring and management of these fisheries, including swordfish. In this case, it is shared between the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and the Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). Whilst the RFMOs are responsible for the development of management and conservation measures, the degree to which they are implemented, monitored and enforced still varies significantly between coastal states. The main countries reporting swordfish catches in this region are Chile, Japan and Spain.
There is no Total Allowable Catch (TAC) set for this stock. Management measures that apply to directed tuna fisheries are expected to also benefit swordfish stocks.
The IATTC and WCPFC requires 5% observer coverage on longliners greater than 20m.
To help address IUU, the IATTC & WCPFC maintain an IUU Vessel List; maintains a register of authorised fishing vessels; and prohibits transhipments at sea for most vessels (Some exemptions apply) and requires most other transhipments to be documented and observed as part of the regional observer programme.
Capture information
In the South-east Pacific Ocean, swordfish are mostly caught in mixed species longline fisheries by Chilean, Japanese and Spanish fleets.
Pelagic longlining for tuna and billfish is associated the bycatch of vulnerable sharks, seabirds and marine turtles. To address this, both the IATTC and the WCPFC require a number of mitigation measures. Longliners must use one or more of the following, depending on vessel size and fishing location: weighted branch lines, night setting, tori lines, side setting with a bird curtain and weighted branch lines, blue-dyed bait; deep setting line shooter; management of offal discharge. WCPFC is beginning a project in 2017 to estimate seabird mortality. WCPFC Scientific Committee research in 2016 into sea turtle mitigation in longline fisheries found that interaction rates are lower when large circle hooks are used, higher at hooks closest to floats and higher when squid baits are used. Current measures relating to turtles include: the use of circle hooks for shallow set gear to reduce turtle capture, along with the requirement to carry line cutters and de-hookers and to promptly release turtles or to foster to recovery any sick or comatose turtles captured. Shark measures include: full utilisation of permissible sharks and retention of no more than 5% of fins to total shark weight; a prohibition to land silky and oceanic whitetip sharks; and countries to develop national plans of action to address the bycatch of sharks, turtles and seabirds. WCPFC prohibits the use of wire leaders and lines running directly off the longline floats or drop lines - known as shark lines; and for fisheries specifically targeting sharks, WCPFC countries are required to develop management plans, demonstrating how they intend to avoid or reduce catches of highly depleted shark species. In 2016 IATTC adopted a resolution to prohibit retention, transshipment, landing or storing of silky sharks caught by purse seine vessels. They also introduced stricter monitoring and reporting of catches of shark species. Data on the effectiveness of the WCPFC ban on shark finning is very limited. In 2016, WCPFC adopted measures to improve recording of manta and mobula rays discarded and released, and to treat these species as key shark species for assessment and research.
Monitoring and reporting of interactions with vulnerable species is deficient in many fisheries however, and the effectiveness of these various measures has not been evaluated. The IATTC and WCPFC both require 5% observer coverage on longliners greater than 20m.

- How to Optimize Working Capital throughout the Financial Supply Chain
- Silo Mentality is No Longer Acceptable
- The Role of Technology
As economies around the world step back from the previous several years of monetary uncertainty and begin adjusting to a new normal, companies face a different set of financial supply chain challenges than they did at the height of the downturn—among them are rising pressure from global competition, consumer expectations, and increasingly complex patterns of customer demand. Most global CFOs face the basic challenge of doing much, much more with much, much less and gaining cost savings while simultaneously improving quality, gaining productivity and improving visibility.
Organizations today are searching for nearly the same visibility in their financial supply chains that they enjoy in their physical supply chains -- minimize incremental costs at touchpoints to maximize working capital. The financial supply chain involves the flow and use of cash throughout the physical supply chain, where there is an accompanying flow of cash in the transfer of products, services and analytics.
Presently, corporations are seeking best practices in how to move from a working capital optimization theory to practical initiatives which will improve their corporate financial performance while maintaining both customer and shareholder satisfaction. Leading companies are reforming their financial supply chains to achieve the next wave of improvements in working capital. As new services come to market, finance executives are taking a second look at supply-chain finance to improve performance.
The goal of operative financial supply chain management is to increase the transparency and the level of automation of business processes along the financial value chain. The purpose is to save processing costs and reduce the working capital of the company. This definition doesn't consider where the financial supply chain actually begins and ends, because there are also analytical processes that are not directly related to a business process but which belong nonetheless to the financial supply chain. Presently, corporate finance organizations are facing unparalleled pressure to improve finance supply chain operations.
To be competitive, CFOs are looking to better manage the financial supply chain, integrate and standardize processes, achieve a return on technology investments, and manage risk while improving margins and reducing costs. In sum, improving performance with innovation and technology in financial supply chain management enhances finance operational efficiency, strengthens finance reporting and analysis, and improves finance control and predictability.

Official: Amr Gamal joins South African side Bidvest Wits
Egypt international striker Amr Gamal has completed his move to South African...
Zamalek have completed the signing of veteran Egypt international Ahmed Eid from Harras El-Hodoud.
After years of negotiations, Zamalek have finally reached an agreement with Harras El-Hodoud over the transfer of the 32-year-old forward today.
Ahmed Eid Abdel-Malek, who's contract with Hodoud was set to expire this June, has signed with the White Knights on a two-and-a-half year deal for EGP 700,000 ($106,669).
According to Ahram Sports, he will receive one million EGP in the first season, 2.5 million in the second and three million in the third season with Zamalek.
The Egypt international, who started his career with Zamalek's youth team, has been at Harras El-Hodoud since 2004, helping the club to back-to-back Egypt Cup titles in 2009 and 2010, and also the Egyptian Super Cup in 2009.
Harras were last year's league-leaders before the cancellation of the 2011/2012 Egyptian Premier League season, following the tragedy of Port Said.
Ahmed Eid will not travel with the squad to the UAE for the upcoming Matchworld Cup – a four-team friendly tournament featuring the White Knights, Zenit St Petersburg, Shakhtar Donetsk and Al-Hilal FC.
Al-Ahly are also on the verge of signing Egypt striker Ahmed Abdul-Zaher from ENPPI for EGP 3.5 m, according to football director Hussein Amin.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Greg Camarillo will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, coach Tony Sparano said Monday.
Camarillo left Miami's 48-28 loss to New England in the second half Sunday and did not return.
"You don't want to lose a player like that," Sparano said. "He's been really productive for us. To me, the guy's been exactly what you're looking for on your football team. I'm disappointed for him. I know how important it is for him."
The injury ends Camarillo's breakout year with the Dolphins. He leads the Dolphins with 55 receptions for 613 yards and two touchdowns after catching a total of eight passes in his first two NFL seasons.
"He's a very, very consistent player," said Casey Cramer, who has roomed with Camarillo for the past three games. "I just hope that he heals quickly and he gets back out as soon as he can. He's a great guy."
Camarillo did not think the injury was season-ending after Sunday's game, his agent J.R. Rickert said.
"He's in good spirits considering the circumstances," Rickert said. "Greg is the kind of guy who really likes going out there every week and laying it on the line with his teammates."
This is the second time in two years that the Dolphins have lost a key player during a game against the Patriots. Running back Ronnie Brown needed surgery to repair a torn ACL after the Dolphins' 49-28 loss to New England on Oct. 21, 2007.
Camarillo signed a $6 million, three-year extension this year that will keep him under contract through 2011.
"It hurts to lose Greg, but I think we'll be fine," running back Patrick Cobbs said. "I think this team can pick it up and we can definitely move forward."

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.—Brittany Sims recorded her first career double-double to lead CSU Bakersfield past Stanislaus State 78-51 in women's basketball action Tuesday night. Sims scored 17 points and grabbed a career high 10 rebounds.
Stanislaus State (3-6) led 9-2 two minutes into the first quarter. Led by four Addi Walters' three-pointers, CSUB outscored the Warriors 25-10 over the final eight minutes of the opener to lead 27-19. The Roadrunners held Stan State to four second quarter field goals as CSUB extended the lead to 43-30 at halftime.
The CSUB defense strengthened in the third. The 'Runners limited the Warriors to 2-of-15 shooting. CSU Bakersfield made six steals, and forced seven turnovers which were turned into six points. For the third time this season, the Roadrunners limited an opponent to six points in a quarter as the 'Runners sped out to a 57-36 advantage. CSUB made 8-of-13 from the field in the fourth quarter as CSUB cruised to the victory.
Sims was 6-of-10 from the field and 5-of-5 from the free throw line. The 6-3 center also added three steals and one block. Walters would record 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting from beyond the three-point arc. Jazmyne Bartee scored a season high 15 points as she went 6-of-6 from the field.

Stanislaus State was led by Cassidy Sanders-Curry who scored 14 points.
"It feels good to get back on the winning track," said CSUB head coach Greg McCall. "We have struggled with our tough schedule. Tonight allowed us to get some confidence back and we played well. We were able to play tough defense in the third quarter. We need to clean up our turnovers as we head into Saturday."
The Roadrunners (2-6), which broke a six-game losing streak against the Warriors, host Fresno Pacific Saturday afternoon. Tip is set for 1 p.m. Fans who bring a new unwrapped toy to the game will receive a $5 ticket.

I bought this for my fiance for Christmas. He loves history and Lincoln was his favorite president. He is always commenting about how the book is so interesting. He isn't the biggest reader, but he hasnt put this book down....
I hesitated for a long time before deciding to write a biography of Abraham Lincoln. There were already thousands of books on the subject, and many of them were excellent. Some were monumental, like the ten-volume Abraham Lincoln: A History (1890), by John G. Nicolay and John Hay. A few, like Lincoln the President (4 vols. 1945-55), by J. G. Randall and Richard N. Current, were masterworks of historical research. But most of these books were written before the publication of The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Roy P. Basler (9 vols.; 1953-55), which provided the first authentic texts of all of Lincoln's voluminous personal papers, long sealed in the vaults of the Library of Congress. These manuscripts included thousands of letters that came across the desk of the Civil War president, from other members of the government, from soldiers in the armies, and from private citizens. The opening of these papers in 1947 made it possible to understand just how Lincoln functioned in the White House. Now, for the first time, a historian could learn (to borrow a phrase from a later, unhappy administration) just what the president knew and when he knew it.
Even more recently it has become possible to reconstruct Lincoln's career at the bar, which was the basis both of his income and of his political success. The Lincoln Legal Papers (an organization of expert legal researchers) has collected thousands of documents relating to every legal case in which Lincoln was involved, and we can now trace the growth of Lincoln's skill as a lawyer and the evolution of his distinctive style.
Finding the new sources so plentiful, I concluded that a new biography was called for. I wanted to write a narrative account of Lincoln's life, one almost novelistic in form, though every statement would be buttressed by fact. My intention was to tell the story of Lincoln's life as he saw it, making use only of the information and ideas that were available to him at the time. My purpose was to explain rather than to judge.
In telling the story from Lincoln's perspective, I became increasingly impressed by Lincoln's fatalism. Lincoln believed, along with Shakespeare, that "there's a divinity that shapes our ends,/Rough-hew them as we will." Again and again, he felt that his major decisions were forced upon him. Late in the Civil War, he explained to a Kentucky friend: "I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me." This does not mean, of course, that Abraham Lincoln was inactive or inert, nor does it imply that he was incapable of taking decisive action. But this view -- which is something that began to emerge from his own words, and not a thesis that I originally started out with -- emphasizes the importance of Lincoln's deeply held religious beliefs and his reliance on a Higher Power.

The National Emergency Alerting System (EAS) will undergo its first nation-wide test this month after 15 years in existence. This is an important test to see how reliable and effective the system really is, and it brings up the question: If this test were a real emergency, how would the leadership of your business react? Does your business continuity plan include a way to notify staff with specifics that could ensure their safety, and possibly improve the chances of your business survival? Are evacuation plans clear and current and do your people know where to turn for help? Most important, is your database up to date; when you deliver your important message, are you confident that it will reach everyone it should by every possible channel?
As every business continuity planner knows, a well-tested plan holds the best possible chance of actually working effectively when a real emergency takes place, no matter what kind it may be. Like the National EAS, when you test your plan you're not looking to pass or fail, bur rather to evaluate the plan and adjust and strengthen it where necessary, always adapting and improving. So when the National EAS test takes place on November 9, 2011, consider carefully how your notification system would stand up to a similar test. For more information, download The Definitive Guide to Business Continuity Planning today.

Peanut Butter & Oat Muffins
Recipe by HokiesMom
I found this in a TOH mini cookbooklet. Submitted by E. Searer. They are a dense muffin and not overly sweet. Great for breakfast or mid-afternoon treat.
Top Review by Annacia
Super muffin! For a muffin with no added fat these are very moist and delicious. Especially considering that made them with 3/4 cop whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of all purpose and used Porridge Oats (a mix of old fashioned oats, oat bran, crushed flax seed an other very high fibrous things that are really good for you). Adams peanut butter (a natural brand that has NO added fat or sugar and salt is even optional) is that only brand that I buy and all I have on hand right now is smooth but I wanted the nut crunch so I rough chopped some cashews and tossed them in........YUM. Oh! and I used a 3/4 cup half full of Splenda Brown. This is a keeper recipe for sure. Made for Almost 5 Game 2011.
