Works across large, multi-network sites, reduces field service time
August 22, 2016 — Today VIAVI Solutions announces the 11.5 enhancement to the EtherASSURE Solution – further improving service providers' ability to manage and monitor Ethernet Mobile Backhaul and Business Services Ethernet networks. Service operators now have new opportunities for operating expense (OpEx) savings by including the ability to easily activate, test, add, remove, and monitor remote sites across large multi-site networks without the need to deploy technicians to those remote sites. The new 11.5 enhancement further demonstrates the VIAVI market leading Ethernet Assurance capabilities for business services and mobile networks with unique multi-stream test generation from the network edge using the VIAVI Smart SFPs, an essential component for assuring today's dynamic networks.
EtherASSURE allows service providers to test and monitor performance in the network services they provide without dispatching technicians to remote sites. Of key importance to release 11.5 is the use of VIAVI JMEP Smart SFPs to perform site-to-site testing to initiate and then terminate turn up tests. This is critical for assurance of increasing deployments with service traffic flows from site-to-site rather than site-to-core, such as VoLTE, providing the ability to test and monitor sites under actual traffic patterns managed from a centralized network operating center (NOC).
With improvements to the TWAMP (Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol), service operators can also better manage their customers' Quality of Experience and Quality of Service (QoE and QoS) resulting in the ability to maintain customer satisfaction and assure the service level agreements (SLAs) of their customers.

(Updates with a comment from Pruitt's attorney)
By Sarah N. Lynch
WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators on Friday filed civil charges against two former executives at government contractor L3 Technologies over accounting violations that led the company to improperly recognize $17.9 million in revenue from a contract with the U.S. Army.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said that David Pruitt, former vice president of finance in the Army Sustainment Division at L3, plans to fight the charges, while L3's former Army Sustainment Division President Mark Wentlent has agreed to settle related charges.
The company previously settled with the SEC in January and paid a $1.6 million penalty.
The SEC said Friday that the improper recognition of the company's revenue was caused by the creation of invoices that were not actually delivered at the same time the revenue was recorded.
The regulator said that Pruitt, a CPA, allegedly tried to hide the issues with the undelivered invoices from L3's corporate office and its external auditor.
Pruitt's attorney John Carney said that his client, a "highly decorated career Army officer," will be vindicated at his hearing before an SEC administrative law judge.
"It is highly unusual for the SEC to bring a revenue recognition case where there is no allegation of fraud and it is undisputed that the work was fully performed, the amounts were immaterial and the company fully collected on the receivables at issue," Carney said.
The SEC also said that Wentlent, meanwhile, failed to follow up on the red flags "that Pruitt had caused L3."
He is settling without admitting or denying the charges, and will pay a $25,000 penalty. The company also separately rescinded his bonus.
An attorney for Wentlent could not be immediately reached for comment. (Reporting by Sarah N. Lynch; editing by Bernard Orr and Diane Craft)

Madison Communications has been very clear in its intentions to spread out to international markets, and the next market in the organisation's radar is Sri Lanka. Madison Communications already has presence in Bangkok, when the group acquired a 24.5 per cent stake in Penada, a Bangkok-based event management and allied services company. Madison Media is now in the process of finalising details for launching an office in Colombo, and expects to commence operations there within a month.
Sam Balsara, Chairman and Managing Director, Madison Communications, explained, "The reason why we are setting up office in Sri Lanka is that it is one of the important markets close to India, and many of our clients are either already operating there or are looking at beginning operations there soon."
Balsara informed that Madison had already identified the local players that it would partner with in its Lanka foray and that it was in the process of appointing a head for the Sri Lanka operations. When asked further, Balsara said it was still too early to divulge any details on this as the agency was still in the process of finalising the deal. He, however, informed that Madison would be ready to speak on the specifics in a couple of weeks.
Speaking more on the international growth plans, Balsara said, "We are on an aggressive growth and expansion drive and, therefore, we are looking at other markets too, where we believe we can bring something unique to the market."
Madison World, as the group is officially referred to sometimes, is a 19-year old diversified communications group in India with 15 specialist units in the domains of advertising (Madison Creative), media (Madison Media Group), outdoor (MOMS Outdoor Media Solutions), PR (Madison PR), rural advertising (Anugrah Madison), retail design (MRP), shopper marketing (MASH), and entertainment (Madison Teamworks Film Promotions and Entertainment), among others.

My new clients ask me all the time: Rita, how can I get more mileage out of my highlights? Whether you're blonde, brunette or redhead, woman or man, there are a few things that will harm anyone's highlights.
Regular exposure to chlorine or the sun, or using the wrong products, can strip away the color faster than it should. The result: is dull and life less hair. Generally speaking, your highlights should look better over time, richer in color and they should grow out gently.
To keep your highlight fresh in between salon visits: moisturize! Always use a moisturizing or smoothing shampoo and conditioner. There are many wonderful drugstore brands out there, pick one that has B vitamins and collagen or plant based protein in it. When you wash your hair, use lukewarm water not hot, and when you apply the conditioner-roots to ends- leave it in for no less than 5 minutes.
After towel drying, gently use a wide-toothed comb to prep your hair for the next moisturizing product: an oil-free leave in liquid or gel based serum that has a pump dispenser.
Oil free serums are super important because when used sparingly, a dime sized amount, they coat the hair without leaving a heavy film. After blow-drying lock in shine with a light oil free spray serum spritz.
Four to five weeks after your highlights, ask your stylist to treat your hair with a glaze. This five minute treatment involves coating the hair with a little kiss of color and some added protein which works to perk up that halo of sunshine on your head! So instead of paying hundreds for highlights, you'll pay a fraction of that.
If your budge could use even more love without sacrificing hair beauty, you can pick up a clear gloss from the drugstore. The effects aren't exactly the same as a salon glaze and won't last as long, probably only a week, but you'll have instantly shiny, healthy sun-kissed hair in a pinch.

mucus plug??
I am 28 weeks n I have been feeling burning and pinching pains in my vagina for a few days now then yesterday I THINK I seen my mucus plug but it was a little bit and I haven't seen anything else since but now am getting baxton hicks... anyone else have this?? Is it normal??
i had pain in vagina during my pregnancy.ligaments are stretching, hormone levels are changing, and organs are shifting around to make room for your growing uterus. But sometimes pain is a red flag that something more serious is wrong. I think you need to see you doc just in case

Smith won't fuel Bent reports
Walter Smith reacted coyly to reports Rangers are trying to sign Marcus Bent, who is on loan at Wigan.
Last Updated: 26/01/08 10:19pm
Walter Smith reacted coyly to reports Rangers are trying to sign Marcus Bent, who is currently on loan at Wigan Athletic.
The striker has been linked with a January switch to Ibrox after scoring seven goals in 19 Premier League appearances this season.
But, having also played for parent club Charlton Athletic this term, current Fifa rules would prevent Bent joining the SPL leaders.
"I think you will find, if you look back on Mr Bent's season, he may have played for two clubs already this season," said Smith.
However, Rangers striker Daniel Cousin is in a similar position regarding his proposed move to Fulham and a thumbs-up from Fifa on that deal could facilitate a swoop for Bent.
Tough task
Regarding the rumours, Gers boss Smith continued: "You are free to speculate.
"We are actively looking for players who we think would improve the team and I've said that right from the very start of the transfer window.
"If we can find a player who we think can improve the team then we will endeavour to try to get them.
"So far, that has been a tough task. Clubs don't want to let good players go at this stage of the season. That's where we are at the moment in a situation where you are free to speculate."
Smith is looking to sign a goalkeeper, which would allow Roy Carroll to complete his move to Derby County, and is tipped to land Dundee United's Grzegorz Szamotulski.

IBM just launched a series of webinars promoting the iSeries as a application platform and the new POWER7 processor-based systems. This should be good news to iSeries customers, who constantly worry about IBM's commitment to the platform.
If you're an iSeries user, what's your thinking these days? Are you comfortable that IBM is all in on the iSeries, or do you have your doubts? And if you have doubts, what could IBM do to put your mind at ease?

I am very comfortable with the commitment to the iSeries platform. To me the drive for the iSeries is related to the big players in the ERP game that support the platform. So if numerous ERP providers support this it will not be going anywhere.
Now if I get informed that our ERP system provider (INFOR) decide to drop the platform...I will be a little concerned.
Nov 10, 2011 at 11:03 UTC
Until certain management types decide to move off the ERP platform we are on, iSeries will be in my future for a long time. Of course, they been saying they wanted off JD Edwards 5 years ago, but here it is years later with the ancient version still running on POWER6 boxes with V5R3. :-)
With POWER7 not supporting older versions of OS400, we will need to move to some other ERP package by force if we move off the current hardware. But the powers that be plan on keeping the whole thing running for another 4 years. Maybe something will be better then.
Of course, my experience is pretty atypical. Not everyone uses 15 year old ERP packages on 10 year old OSes.
Nov 10, 2011 at 12:19 UTC
Looks like our parent company in Germany is going to roll out Microsoft AX, obsoleting our 15 years of using the 400/iSeries. Too bad, INFOR (learned from OP) looks great. :(
Solid platform that's never failed us. Downgrade...
Nov 10, 2011 at 12:22 UTC
We just purchased a new Power7. It will be live next Monday. I'm really excited about how quick it will be compared to our 6 year old i. Harris Data is our ERP, so IBM will be around as long as that's their platform and as long as they are our ERP. Another 3 to 5 years at least.

I'm sure a lot of iSeries users would agree with you on the downgrade sentiment.
Nov 10, 2011 at 5:49 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
We use a lot of POWER7 here, but for AIX, not i. I am definitely completely confident with the commitment to the platform, though. POWER is where IBM's, well, power comes from. That AIX, i, Linux and z all run on the same platform really cements IBM's position in the high end RISC space.
We just did a casual study here and it would take 300 of the biggest Proliants that money can buy to replace... FOUR POWER 7 boxes.
Imagine how many more admins it takes to run 300 Linux boxes rather than 4 AIX boxes. Okay, well it takes two more admins. But admins are VERY expensive. Admins who can handle 150 unique servers aren't cheap. If you want normal admins you'd need between 4 and 6.

Great point. Common platform = lower maintenance and less incentive to abandon the platform. IBM was smart to move iSeries to POWER when it did.
Nov 17, 2011 at 3:19 UTC
love it, I've worked with the 400 since '88 and Wouldn't fully go to anything else.

Jk Rowling Adult Novel
February 23, 2012 by staff
Jk Rowling Adult Novel, J.K. Rowling has announced her next novel will be something "very different" from the Harry Potter series – a work for adults.
There is as yet no title, release date or details of Rowling's next work, but on Thursday she announced a deal with publisher Little, Brown to publish the book in the U.S. and Britain.
That's the same publisher who handled Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and a change from Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury.
"Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world," Rowling said in a statement released Thursday.
"The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry's success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher."

15. Paths of Glory
One of Stanley Kubrick's least-known films also proves to be one of his best: In this intimate 1957 war film about a French officer and his efforts to take an unconquerable hill, Kubrick offers devastating anti-war sentiment that feels as palpable today as it did fifty years ago. Kirk Douglas plays the heroic but helpless Col. Dax, who attempts unsuccessfully to convince his superiors that the land is unconquerable, and then makes an equally pointless plea to spare the lives of three subordinates picked for death by firing squad for having the unfortunate luck to be unliked (or undesirable) in the eyes of their fellow soldiers. Watching the film, which precedes such modern classics as Platoon and Saving Private Ryan, its emotional impact during the war scenes have lessened none with advancements in technology; but the film's combination of institutionalized ignorance and hierarchical hypocrisy is what proves truly outrageous. If one need any further proof in the destructive absurdity of war, then watch Paths of Glory. -TG

14. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest tells a classic story of one man (Jack Nicholson) railing against the establishment. With superb acting, memorable characters, and a markedly humanistic story, Cuckoo's Nest proves to be a timeless tale &#Array; as emotionally effective and engrossing today as it was 30 years ago. The film swept the Academy Awards in 1976 &#Array; winning Best Picture, Best Director (Milos Forman), Best Actor (Nicholson), Best Actress (Louise Fletcher), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Lawrence Hauben & Bo Goldman) &#Array; a feat that hadn't been accomplished since Frank Capra's It Happened One Night in 1931. -BZ

13. The Graduate
While scores of movies have since similarly attempted to capture post-collegiate life's unfettered, unpredictable possibilities, Mike Nichols' tribute to America's restless youth still proves the most powerful, even some 38 years later: Benjamin Braddock, brilliantly embodied in a virtuoso performance by Dustin Hoffman, lapses into a lazy affair with an neighbor's wife (Anne Bancroft, whose Mrs. Robinson would come to embody older seductresses everywhere) as he stumbles through the first steps of a relationship with her daughter (Katharine Ross) while trying to find some meaning in his monotonous life. Scored to the music of Simon and Garfunkel, who provided a soundtrack not only for the film but an entire new generation of young people, The Graduate set a historic precedent as much as it did a cinematic one; so today, when movies like Garden State try to capture the 'quarter-life crisis' en route to their far more conventional endings, what they 'teach' feels uncomfortably like secondary school rather than a first-rate education. -TG

12. Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption, released in 1994, is the impressive directing debut of screenwriter Frank Darabont, who adapted the script from Stephen King's short story, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. The powerful and inspiring tale chronicles the life of falsely imprisoned inmate Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) and his friend Red (Morgan Freeman) &#Array; a man who can get things &#Array; inside the dark corridors of Shawshank State Prison and their redemptive journey back into the light. The film didn't win any of the seven Oscars it was nominated for in 1994, but it's gone on to achieve "new classic" status. Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'. -BL

11. A Clockwork Orange
Stanley Kubrick's spare style and unflinching eye were put to amazing use in this adaptation of the Anthony Burgess novel. The futuristic film tells the story of Alex and his group of droogs (friends), who spend their lives cruising around the bombed-out city, looking for "a bit of the old ultra-violence." Stylish and brutal, amoral yet deeply humanistic, A Clockwork Orange is one of the most unique films ever committed to the screen, and stands as an odd testament to the human spirit and what makes us all tick. -CC

Terex R165S
Kategorie: Skid Steer Loaders
The Terex® R165S radial lift path skid steer loader has a rated operating capacity of 1,650 lb at 50-percent tipping load (3,300 lb). Loaders engineered with a radial lift path, meaning the loader arms raise in an arc pattern, excel at digging and grading applications. This unit weighs in at 6,605 lb operating weight and achieves 116 in of lift height, as well as nearly 22 in of reach. The R165S also boasts 10.5-in ground clearance and 28.4° rear angle of departure, which improves its ability to traverse soft, uneven terrain.
The R165S has a 50-hp, Perkins diesel turbocharged engine with load sensing, variable flow hydraulics — the engine and hydraulic combination on the R165S offers 8,453 lb of tractive effort. Terex skid steer loader operators are able to move more material per loader per day than other brands. The drive pumps and motors on these loaders are performance matched to provide operators with the optimum amount of hydraulic horsepower on every task. Its load-sensing hydraulics to ensure that fuel and energy are not wasted on surplus hydraulic power, so operators can push material, dig, grade and drive-through the toughest jobsite conditions, yet conserve power when requirements are less demanding. For increased versatility, the loader arms on the Terex models are designed to easily accommodate over-the-tire steel tracks, and because these loaders run cool, allowing operators to work longer in hot, humid environments.
For quick cycle times, a powerful drive train with optional 2-speed transmission propels Terex skid steer loaders to the fastest top speeds in their class — up to 12 mph. Terex skid steer loaders also offer increased fuel capacities over other brands, a 25-gal fuel tank on the R165S, that translates to longer operating times between refueling.

The GRASP project is investigating how middle school students use body movement to build deeper reasoning about critical science concepts. How can gesture aid in students' ability to construct explanations of scientific phenomena, particularly ones that have unseen structures and unobservable mechanisms such as molecular interactions? The project will apply findings from this study to design and research gesture-controlled computer simulations using motion sensing input technologies.
GRASP (Gesture Augmented Simulations for Supporting Explanations) studies the role that motions of the body play in forming explanations of scientific phenomena. This four-year project is conducting empirical studies with middle school students, gathering data to apply to enhancing educational tools. We're designing and testing the addition of gesture control to computer simulations using motion-sensing input devices to see if these digital technologies can guide learners to perform physical actions that can help them comprehend, recall and retain.
This NSF-funded project is led by researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where the research with students is conducted. As a collaborator, the Concord Consortium provides computer simulations and technical expertise to incorporate gesture-sensing technologies into the simulations.
This work brings together two prominent areas of study with high potential for impact in education. One is the emerging field of embodied cognition that has provided evidence that human reasoning is deeply rooted in the body's interactions with the physical world. Some researchers believe that it is impossible to separate the nature of thinking from the bodies we inhabit, hence learning and understanding are shaped by the actions taken by our bodies. Research findings and guidelines for connecting body movements with learning outcomes are starting to emerge, but there is still much to be understood about the kinds of movements that support the development of specific ideas, particularly unobservable mechanisms, which is the focus of the GRASP project.
The second area of study is human-computer interaction (HCI). Inexpensive devices make the control and navigation of a computer possible using body motion. This technology, once expensive and confined to research labs, is now affordable and commercially available. Microsoft's Kinect and the Leap Motion system are two leading examples. Educational researchers have taken note of these technology developments and the potential for new embodied interaction techniques that facilitate student learning. Studies using specialized and expensive technologies already demonstrate the strong potential of embodied interactions with technology to generate new learning. Our research aims to identify embodied learning opportunities that can be created with software freely available on the web and with relatively inexpensive interface devices, making it accessible to a broad audience of learners.

The GRASP project seeks to enhance student learning by helping students build explanations of science phenomena. Building explanations is an essential dimension of the Science and Engineering Practices of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and a skill distinct from providing descriptions of science phenomena. To build explanations students must develop explanatory models, that is, models that can explain hidden structures and unobservable mechanisms behind observable phenomena. Our research seeks to identify types of body motion that support causal explanations of observable phenomena. Since body motions that promote causal explanations are so central to this research and distinct from other motions, they are given a special identifier: embodied explanatory expressions (EEEs). GRASP is exploring differences in the kinds of embodied expressions used to support explanations versus those used to offer descriptions of science phenomena. Understanding this distinction is an important step for characterizing the role of embodiment at different levels of science reasoning and for creating gesture-based simulations that can elevate student thinking.
Three STEM topics form the basis of investigation: molecular interactions, heat transfer, and Earth systems. These topics are chosen because they involve phenomena that can be observed but have unobservable causes or hidden mechanisms. Furthermore, the topics are all prominent in the NGSS and have robust literatures examining student reasoning and conceptual development. Finally, the Concord Consortium has already developed rich resources of simulations in these topic areas that can be the starting point for the investigations with the additions of gesture-based control.
In order to generate research findings that inform the broader understanding of embodied reasoning around science concepts and inform the design of new technologies that facilitate student explanations three research questions will be pursued:
- What are the characteristics of embodied expressions that support scientific reasoning at the descriptive level (observations of visible phenomena) and at the explanatory level (causal accounts that include hidden structures and unseen mechanisms)?
- What are the embodied explanatory expressions (EEEs) that facilitate reasoning about three critical science topics: molecular interactions, heat transfer, and Earth systems?
- How can online simulation environments effectively integrate EEEs into their interface design? What features of interfaces most effectively elicit prescribed movements from students?
In this four-year project, the first two years will focus on research questions 1 and 2 with the outcomes informing the development of gesture-based simulations in the latter two years when the focus will be question 3. Data is gathered from a diverse sample of middle school students in interviews where they are asked to interact with various phenomena (e.g., a syringe with a plunger) to explain why it behaves as it does. For instance, the interviewer might ask, "If the plunger tip is blocked, why does it become difficult to compress or why does it spring back when released?" As students develop their explanations, they may build on tools available in the interview or simulations on a computer. Finally, they may be asked to illustrate their understandings with words and gestures. These interviews are video recorded and will be analyzed using methodologies of micro-analysis—looking in detail of the moment-by-moment interactions of students—and of embodied learning research.

Fab Four
Al McGuire, as only he could, went out in style. With the Marquette Warriors putting the finishing touches on a 67-59 victory over North Carolina in the 1977 NCAA championship game, the retiring coach sat down on the MU bench and bawled his eyes out.
It's a powerful image, one that came to represent college basketball that season. But it also overshadows that year's semifinals, which should rank among the greatest Final Fours.
It was a field bursting with storylines. There were the blue-blooded Tar Heels, the clear favorite but also ravaged by injuries. They were also still looking to get Dean Smith his first title. UNC-Charlotte, from the same state as the Heels but miles apart in talent, made its first Final Four appearance. UNLV was led by its charming rogue of a coach, Jerry Tarkanian, and led the nation in scoring at an absurd 107 points per game. Marquette had been in a late-season tailspin, but the Warriors faithful hoped McGuire's imminent retirement would galvanize the team.
The two semifinals at the Omni in Atlanta would be decided by a total of three points.
UNC-Charlotte and Marquette squared off in the opening match. The 49ers, in their first NCAA Tournament, were led by stars Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell and Lew Massey. McGuire's final team had irrepressible offensive talents Bo Ellis and Butch Lee and key role players like Jim Boylan, Jerome Whitehead and Bill Neary.
Charlotte seemed overwhelmed by the moment in the early going. The 49ers were flummoxed by Marquette's changing defenses and fell behind by 14 points. Charlotte's defense dug in, however, switching easily between man-to-man and exotic zones (even the obscure 1-1-3 set). The 49ers went on a 13-2 run and headed into the locker room facing only a 25-22 deficit.
The second half would be tight the whole way. Marquette had shot poorly, but the 49ers' zone defenses had given Whitehead (16 rebounds) enough space to attack the offensive glass. Charlotte's swarming defenders had taken Lee (who shot 5 of 18) out of the flow until the final minutes, when the star of the Puerto Rican national team hit two clutch buckets.
Marquette eventually went ahead, 49-47, until Maxwell sank a tough leaner in the lane with five seconds left.
McGuire called time out with three seconds on the clock, then took the time to examine the height of the scoreboard at the Omni and calculate how the parabola of a court-length pass would be affected. Satisfied with the answer, the coach of the Jesuit school's team drew up a play in which Lee heaved a "Hail Mary" to Ellis or Whitehead at the other end.
The prayer was answered when the ball glanced off the hands of the long-limbed Maxwell and right to the waiting Whitehead, who found himself wide open for a half-dunk/half-layup that almost bounced off the rim. The ball found the net, though, and after some anxious discussion among officials at the scorer's table, Marquette was awarded the 51-49 victory.
Lee-to-Whitehead has been shunted aside in the annals of full-court final plays, getting lost behind U.S.S.R's controversial bomb against the U.S. in the 1972 Olympics and the Grant Hill-Christian Laettner connection in the 1992 tournament. Milwaukee is probably the only place that remembers Marquette's miracle play as well as those others.
How could the second semifinal in 1977 ever top that? The Tar Heels and Runnin' Rebels tried to burn their own mark in the popular memory by playing at warp speed.
Tarkanian's first great squad at UNLV boasted six players that would be chosen in the 1977 NBA draft. The draft was eight rounds deep back then, but UNLV's Glen Gondrezick, Eddie Owens and Larry Moffet were all picked in the second round.
The Tar Heels had battled injuries all season. Team leader Tommy LaGarde was out for the season with a broken leg. Walter Davis (broken finger) and Phil Ford (elbow) were both not quite right in the NCAA Tournament.
The Rebels, who also had Reggie Theus, took a 49-43 lead at the break. But the Tar Heels caught fire in the second half, including a 14-0 run that gave UNC control. John Kuester made 5 of 6 free throws in the final minutes, giving the Tar Heels the 84-83 victory.
Fans who watched both games got the defensive chess match and a once-in-a-lifetime finish in the first semifinal. Then they were treated to offensive fireworks in the nightcap, with UNC shooting 59% and UNLV at 51%. That Final Four should be remembered as fondly as McGuire's last game.

Origin Story
A lot of University of North Carolina fans like to proclaim that they are "Tar Heel born and Tar Heel bred."
I was indoctrinated in a different manner.
It was a few months into the third grade when I moved from Illinois to North Carolina. I showed up in Ms. Nelson's class desperate for a friend of any kind.
The first kid that talked to me eyed me up and asked: "Do you like Carolina, Duke or State?"
The question took me aback. I recognized all the words in his sentence, but didn't comprehend the meaning of them placed together.
He was wearing a sweatshirt that had "Carolina" emblazoned across the chest. So, eager to fit in as the new guy, I quickly responded: "Carolina."
It so happened that the real estate agent who sold my parents their house in Greensboro, in our first brush with Southern hospitality, offered up tickets to a Tar Heels game at the pleasant-sounding Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill.
I was an official convert. The Heels' game against UCLA on Dec. 17, 1988, would be the baptism.
Looking back at the tape and box score of the game, I had no idea what was going on during the action on the court.
There's no way that I knew the Heels were ranked eighth in the nation or that they had gone 8-1 despite the absence of All-American forward J.R. Reid, who was about to return from foot surgery.
Certainly I had no clue about UCLA, which had started 4-0 behind new coach Jim Harrick and the stellar play of guard Pooh Richardson.
I was just happy to be one of the 20,712 fans at Dean Dome, teeming with the evangelical spirit.
The crowd reached a fever pitch when Reid and his imposing flattop checked in at the 15:41 mark. A few minutes later, Reid worked himself free in the post with his ample backside and hammered home a one-handed dunk that gave the junior his first points of the season and UNC a 19-10 lead.
The game turned out to be a 104-78 dismantling by the Tar Heels. At the time, it was the third-worst loss in Bruins history. Dean Smith's trapping defense flustered Richardson. Reid finished with six points and four rebounds in 10 minutes. Harrick and the UCLA bench were whistled for two technicals.
None of that registered in my 9-year-old mind, however. I was just taken by the rise and fall of the crowd with each three-pointer by Jeff Lebo, offensive put-back by Pete Chilcutt or defensive hounding by King Rice.
I was hooked for life even before Marty Hensley and Jeff Denny closed out garbage time against the Bruins. In subsequent seasons, I paid witness as Reid begat George Lynch, who begat Rasheed Wallace, who begat Antawn Jamison. And so on.
That passion followed me even after I moved away from the Old North State. It led me to the wayside televisions of State Street Brats in Madison, Wis., where I watched every Duke-UNC game alongside a UW graduate student and native of Boone, N.C. He got me in the habit of saying, in a drawling Appalachian accent, "Fuuuuuuck yoooooou, Wooo-joooo" every time ESPN cameras would catch a shot of Blue Devils assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski.
I don't think I ever knew that guy's name. We just recognized a shared passion that had long since hooked itself into our souls.

Twenty-First Century Metric America in Your State
It is absolutely unbelievable that the Greatest Industrial Country and the Greatest Military Power in the World, the UNITED STATES, is so slow to rid of the English Measurement System. The time has come, it did it's job, now is the time to say good-bye to the antiquated system and embrace the International System of Units, the Metric System.
Excuse me, but who is the one the pushed for a 'World Free Trade', but refuses to use a world wide measurement system? The Overpaid American CEOs are cutting labor cost every possible way, reduce pay, layoffs, oversea labor but, they refuse to convert to using only the Metric System. It does not make sense, does it. American workers are forced to purchase two different sets of tools in order to work and businesses are forced to purchase and keep in inventory two sets of hardware, all the while the competing countries/companies only need to have one set of tools/hardware. Now is that an American competitive edge? That does not say much for the CEOs of American companies.
Why is America losing in the education of math, science, and engineering with it's own citizens? Tell your Representative, that she/he is the woman/man to bring America to the Twenty-first Century. Use Metric Now.
[Lord It's Hard To Be Happy When You're Not Using] The Metric System
- The Governor, Your State Senate and Your State House
It is pretty embarrassing that the Greatest Economic Power and Greatest Military Power in the World refuses to embrace the Metric System. How can the US possibly want to be part of the 'World Free Trade Market' and yet will not use the World Measurement System, SI?
I am writing to you to ask that you pass a Bill to have 'YOUR STATE' stop all use of the Imperial/English Measurement System immediately and exclusively use the Metric System. The Metric System is already an legal and recognized system in the US of America. Any further delay will put America in more economic disadvantage to both American citizens and businesses. America is the only Industrial Nation required to purchase two sets of tools and hardware!
Are you, the 'YOUR STATE' Representative/Senator, up to the task to bring 'YOUR STATE' into the Twenty-First Century? Or are you going to continue a long line of lazy legislators? Please spend some of that Recovery/Stimulus money for the final switch over to Metric and bring up 'YOUR STATE' and America to the same level as rest of the World.

Though there's no action at the county level to suggest an extension project is in the works, San Juan Capistrano's City Council reaffirmed its opposition Tuesday night to any eastward extension of San Juan Creek Road, an idea that is in Orange County's Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Several residents spoke out against an extension and supported Councilwoman Laura Freese's proposal to restate the city's opposition.
Freese and the residents said they oppose an extension of the route east to La Pata Avenue because it would cut through a sensitive neighborhood.
"If you open that road you'll change the entire flavor of that community," resident Don Richardson said. "The entire city enjoys the ambiance of that area."
Though Mayor Larry Kramer eventually voted for Freese's resolution, he expressed concern that it might invite the county to look into what the city is opposing.
"I prefer we leave this dog lie," Kramer said. "I don't think we're going to gain what we'd like to gain out of this."
Kramer pointed out that no money or plans are being dedicated to extending San Juan Creek Road, as far as he is aware.
Freese suggested removing the idea from the city's General Plan but shied away from that after city staff warned of the possible consequences. Alan Oswald, a senior city traffic engineer, said if the council removed the extension from the General Plan, the city would be in danger of losing funding from Measure M2, a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2006 to fund county transportation projects.
Councilman Sam Allevato said any extension of San Juan Creek Road would have to go through the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park property, which the city owns and could give San Juan leverage if the extension is ever pursued.
One resident spoke in support of extending the road. "I think it's about time to open it up. Kick the dog, get that road open," Dusty Otero said.
Though many residents are concerned about San Juan's traffic congestion, Freese said it's more important to preserve the city's character than to put more streets through residential neighborhoods.
"Traffic in this city is always lousy and it will always be lousy if you like the character," Freese said. "If you like the character of something that looks like Crown Valley (Parkway), we can put that in San Juan too, but that will just destroy the city. So you've got to live with a little bit of congestion if you want to protect the character of San Juan."
The council directed city staff to look into how a road might be removed from the county master plan, without bringing up specific concerns about San Juan Creek Road.

Sugar & Spice Salmon
READY IN: 25mins
Recipe by Halcyon Eve
This is from the July/August Simple & Delicious.
Top Review by Paris D
We thought the fish was very good by itself and the salsa was very good by itself, but the two don't really go well together. Fish glazed with a brown sugar sauce is more of a fall/winter dish, but the salsa is definitely a summer dish. I would make the salsa again, but I would serve it with chicken. I would also make the fish again, but I would not make the salsa with it.

Here is Part Two of my first Fanfic! If you haven't read Part 1 here is a link:
Part Two
Sam and Gibby walked into Principal Franklin's office for detention. Gibby looked tense, and whenever she could, Sam stole glances at him to check that he was ok. Principal Franklin gestured towards two seats.
"Sit down," he said. Sam and Gibby obeyed and Principal Franklin began speaking again, "I hear you two were passing notes in class. Is that true?"
"Yes Sir!" Gibby answered immediatly.
"Ok then. Before I leave to go to the teacher's lounge, I need to ask you something Sam. Teachers have told me you have been sleeping during class. All twelve of them!"
"Maybe a little," Sam replied with a lazy tone.
"Maybe a lot!" said Principal Franklin, "So I'm giving you 12 lunchtime detentions. You'll start tomorrow. Don't argue! I'm going now. You kids do whatever it is that kids in detention do."
Principal Franklin left and Sam and Gibby were left alone. There was a long silence. Then Gibby mustered up the courage to speak.
"Listen Sam... Sorry about your detentions."
"Why are you sorry?" she asked.
"If I hadn't passed that note to you we wouldn't be here and most likely Principal Franklin wouldn't have given you detention.
"Meh, it's not that big a deal. Been there, done that."
Gibby chuckled, "You mean that?"
"Yeah, detention is sorta a habit for me. A hobby, if you think about it."
Another silence followed, and Gibby spoke again, "Hey... you wanna know my hobby?"
Sam shrugged, "Sure, why not?"
Gibby was hesitant to answer, "You might have guessed it, but I like dancing with my shirt off."
"Umm, I knew that Gibby. You said it at the Cheesecake Warehouse in forn of the whole world, remember?"
"Oh yeah... I forget a lot of stuff. I'm not that smart."
"I guess that means we have something in common."
"Yeah... Hey! Remember the time where I guessed there were 5 fat cakes in that tank?"
Sam chuckled, "Yeah, that was funny."
Sam and Gibby talked on for the rest of detention, laughing and having a great time.

Chocolate "wet" Cake
READY IN: 35mins
Recipe by Shirl J 831
This recipe is from a spice magazine. It is more like a fudge but it is a cake.
Top Review by Jacqueline in KY
The first time I made this cake it scared me to death, I thought I had done something wrong, the batter is so thin.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/8/2014 (1105 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EDDYSTONE -- Bill Finney's hay fields near Lake Manitoba were just starting to come back nicely after the 2011 flood.
That was about right on schedule -- it takes three to five years for flooded pastures and hay land to fully recover.
Then the Portage Diversion was opened up full throttle again. Gusting winds in late July pushed Lake Manitoba whitecaps across Finney's field.
Flooded again.
"We were recovering and things were looking up," said Finney.
Now, after all he's been through since 2011, Finney said he's finally "exasperated."
Finney's probably the last one who is. The same story is being written all along the boundary of Lake Manitoba. It's a horror movie, The Return of the Portage Diversion.
Water from the Assiniboine River is being detoured into Lake Manitoba to protect the lower Assiniboine between Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg. The area is largely made up of farms and newer residential development. Winnipeg is largely protected by the Perimeter Highway.
"We understand why the Portage Diversion is being used. All we need now is the same flood protection as people on the lower Assiniboine. We need to be flood-protected and we don't want to wait seven years," said Finney.
There's the rub. The provincial government says it will take seven years to flood-proof against the Portage Diversion. The province plans to build another outlet for Lake Manitoba and make the emergency outlet for Lake St. Martin permanent. The opposition Tories say it could be done faster.
Naturally, Finney prefers to believe the latter.
"How would (people on the lower Assiniboine) feel if they were told they couldn't use the Portage Diversion for seven years while its effects are studied?" he asked.
Finney now must buy about 800 round bales of hay to make up for flooded land. That's at least a $40,000 expense the family farm -- he farms with brothers Lyle and Norman -- wasn't expecting.
Either that, or they'll have to sell their cattle again. During the 2011 flood, they sold off most of their herd.
Lake Manitoba is expected to crest this month at about 814.8 feet above sea level. The big factor for the next several months will be wind.
Farmers are receiving various levels of government compensation but find themselves caught in a standoff between the federal and provincial governments, Finney said.
The effects of flooding on this agricultural land last at least three to five years, but the federal government says its disaster-assistance program only allows for one year of compensation. The province is unwilling to pick up the other years alone, even though it promised farmers full compensation.
"I think it's unfortunate the two levels of government don't like each other. I hear that from the politicians all the time," said Finney, who sits on the Lake Manitoba Rehabilitation Committee.
Meantime, farms are being sold.
Finney's neighbour, a 48-year-old rancher, is in the process of selling his Lake Manitoba farm.
Joel Delauriers, 45, who ranched down the road, and who was threatening to sell in a Free Press profile during the 2011 flood, carried out his threat.
That's an age group farming is trying to hang on to.
Finney, 66, wants to sell, too, as do most farmers along Lake Manitoba's shoreline. But flooding has depressed land prices.
"We're not selling yet because we don't think we can get fair value until we get some flood-proofing," said Finney.
In addition to the Portage Diversion flooding farmland and cottages, and loading phosphorus and nitrogen into Lake Manitoba, it's also destroying the area's esthetics.
"I understand the use of the diversion. But all the trees along the lakeshore are now all dead" from artificial flooding, said Finney. "It's not an economic thing but it just wrecks the beauty of the lake."

So far, only the December 2009 cover has surfaced, featuring Kasia Struss alongside iconic top models Lara Stone, Natalia Vodianova, Christy Turlington — and in a surprise, the currently close-to-the-end-of-her-pregnancy Gisele Bundchen — but word is that the models on the cover and in the accompanying editorial inside all photographed themselves, in an ode to Twitpic.

A swag valance pattern is sewn after the fabric is marked to ensure all pieces fit together properly. Be sure to have enough fabric, lining and interlining available. Lay the pattern onto the fabric, and add extra panels of fabric if the pattern falls over the edge. Do the same for the lining. Cut the interlining to the final size of the finished piece.Continue Reading
Lay the fabric face down on the table. Place the interlining fabric on top, making sure that there is a three-fourths inch allowance around the edge. Fold the turning allowance over, and pin in place. Then cut the fabric at the curved sections as necessary. Sew in the interlining with a herringbone stitch. With the turnings folded under, pin the lining in place about one-eighth inch from the edge. Cut the fabric on the curves as needed to keep a soft round shape. Sew the lining and fabric into place with a slip stitch. Pin the fabric into the swag shape using the paper pattern as a guide. Fold the pleats, and pin the fabric at the top, making adjustments as you go along. Once all of the pleats are in the desired position, sew the fabric folds at the top using a strong thread. Check the piece, and make any necessary changes before mounting to a board for hanging.Learn more about Sewing

Genel Energy plc says that, as of 12 July 2015, Rodney Chase has resigned from the Company. Tony Hayward has been appointed Chairman in his stead.
Murat Özgül, previously President, Turkey and KRI, has become Chief Executive, and been appointed to the board.
In his role as Chairman, Tony will oversee the strategy of the Company and the effective running of the board, with Murat focusing on the day-to-day management of Genel, including operational performance and the delivery of Genel's growth projects in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Tony Hayward, Chairman of Genel, said,'Rodney has been a driving force in the establishment of Genel Energy as a respected London-listed company. It has been a great pleasure working with him, and on behalf of the Board and the Company I would like to express my sincere gratitude for his leadership through the IPO and over the past four years, which has helped make Genel the company it is today.
Murat has been a longstanding member of the Genel executive team and has overseen the growth of our KRI production to over 100,000 bopd. This makes Genel one of the largest independent oil producers on the London Stock Exchange in addition to being the largest holder of reserves and resources in the KRI.

Switched at Birth, New Love Interest Casting Scoop11/13/2012
Switched at Birth: Bay related casting scoop from Zap2it's Carina Adly MacKenzie
Here's some scoop on Switched at Birth from Carina Adly MacKenzie's Monday Kickstart column for the week of 11/11/12.
Switched at Birth
Bay will go on the Carlton School for the Deaf retreat — and she'll be pretty surprised when she hears some loud singing. Enter Joey, a guy her age who isn't deaf… yet. Described as "warm, handsome, and charismatic," Joey is losing his hearing and trying to commit his favorite music to memory. No word yet on whether he'll be a new love interest, but he is potentially recurring and he and Bay do share a pair of earbuds under the stars, so… we'll assume sparks fly.
The second season of ABC Family's award-winning drama series, "Switched At Birth," begins Monday, January 7th 8:00PM – 9:00PM ET/PT. This season sees dramatic changes in the lives of the Kennish and Vasquez families as a result of the verdict in the baby switch trial. Gilles Marini joins the cast in season two as a series regular. With an array of deaf and hard-of-hearing actors, including scenes shot entirely in American Sign Language, "Switched At Birth" was recently honored with a Television Critics Association Award for Youth Programming and an Imagen Award for Best Primetime Program. ABC Family will air a special "Switched At Birth" marathon on Monday, January 7th, from 11:00AM – 8:00PM ET/PT, leading up to the season two premiere. The season one finale airs tonight, Monday, October 22nd at 8:00PM ET/PT on ABC Family.

Review for Helping Hand Home for Children, Austin, TX, USA
It's always sunny at the Helping Hands Home for Children! It's filled to the brim with positive energy, which emulates from staff, volunteers, and the children!
It's unforunate that a loving family isn't a birth right, but love is abundant for these children at this organization. They have homework help, get to take classes taught by volunteers, are read bedtime stories (something I personally feel makes all the difference in a child's education and, on the grander scale, their life) and the kids are even taken on field trips around the community. It's important to have a strong sense of community and a strong foundation in education, and the children receive both thanks to staff and volunteers.

Harold Messenger's voice shook a bit as he talked about how important today's Honor Flight of the Quad-Cities trip to Washington, D.C., will be to him.
"I want to see the Korean Memorial. It has been 61 years. So, yes, it will be emotional," Messenger of Davenport said during a pre-flight dinner for the veterans Wednesday night at the Hy-Vee banquet room on East Kimberly Road, Davenport.
"When we came home from the war, we just came home, changed clothes, and went back to work. There were no flags waving or anything."
That was hardly the case Wednesday. A high school band playing patriotic songs greeted veterans as they entered the room, and local ROTC members saluted them.
Today's Honor Flight is the final one of 2013. It departs at 7 a.m. from the Quad-City International Airport in Moline with 80 Korean War and 11 World War II veterans on board.
In Washington, D.C., the group and the volunteers who are accompanying them, known as guardians, will spend the day touring military monuments dedicated in their honor. They are scheduled to return to the Quad-Cities about 9:45 p.m. today.
Quad-City and Clinton Hy-Vee stores are sponsoring the whirlwind, day-long trip. This is the fifth Honor Flight that Hy-Vee has sponsored and the 26th flight since November 2008.
"Every veteran should have the opportunity to make this trip," said Debbie Geisler, Quad-City marketing director for Hy-Vee. "This trip means everything to these veterans and Hy-Vee feels honored and privileged to make this flight possible."
Among veterans traveling today will be Geisler's father, former Sen. Roger Jepsen, R-Iowa, who is 85 and living in Florida. He served in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1985.
"I was the guest speaker here last year," said Jepsen who served in the Army during World War II. "I am so happy Hy-Vee is doing this. If I had my way, we would give them a national award."
Thirteen Hy-Vee representatives will make the flight. For the first time this year, Hy-Vee conducted a promotion to select six customers to serve as guardians on the flight. Guardians normally pay their own way.
One of those customers is William Looney of Grand Mound, Iowa, who served with the Army in Korea from 1965-1967. When he heard about the promotion, Looney decided to sign up.
"I thought it would be kind of a honor," he said.
Robert and Barbara Long of Davenport have been married 62 years. They were married while Robert was serving Marine Corps during the Korean War.
"He told me he did not like living in the barracks, so he said 'Let's get married.' So, we did," said Barbara Long, who like her husband, is a retired music teacher.
Robert said he was thrilled by Wednesday's celebration.
"This is marvelous. This is wonderful," he said. "The band was playing. Servicemen were saluting. I was a little choked up to tell you the truth. This is so amazing. I am looking very much to going to Washington, D.C.
"I know people who are on (the Korean Memorial.) I have several names I want to look for."
