text: WVU gives free course in online communication By Mackenzie Mays February 5, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Elizabeth Cohen has always felt at home teaching, but she's nervous about an upcoming lesson. That's because her students could be anyone -- literally."There's a pit in my stomach because I'm so excited. I'm not used to teaching an audience I don't know, but the opportunity for feedback is limitless," said Cohen, an assistant professor of communication studies at West Virginia University.Cohen is among a handful of WVU professors leading a recently launched online course that is free and open to the public. The Massive Open Online Course isn't graded and isn't for college credit, but instead is a way to engage everyone about the impact technology has on our everyday lives, Cohen said.The MOOC is WVU's first and will last through the month of February focusing on a range of ways communication technology shapes people's social lives, examining online dating, cyber bullying and everything in between."This is for anyone in the entire world -- that's what's revolutionary about it. The whole point is to give people more opportunities. A free education -- how often do people have a chance at that?" Cohen said.The group uses the Twitter hashtag #WVUCommMOOC to engage participants about the program and discussion is at the core of the lessons, Cohen said.On Tuesday, someone using the hashtag said they were on a ventilator and can't get out much in the winter and showed their appreciation for the class. Keeping up with technology is more important than ever, and programs like these allow experts to share their skills with people of all ages allover the world, Cohen said."Technology is accelerating at a faster and faster rate, but the faster we develop things, the quicker it is to fall behind and the harder it is to catch up. Media literacy is a woefully understudied topic in most curricula," she said. "With this, it doesn't matter what your level of comfort is. We start with the assumption that everyone is new, and you can jump in at anytime. All you need is an Internet connection."We're covering very hot topics, even if you don't immediately recognize the application to your own life."Those topics include Cohen's lesson, starting Feb. 25, on understanding and conquering technology overload."Multitasking gets a lot of bad press, but on some level, we've evolved to do just that. We just need to be more aware of our limitations and conscious of what we're doing," she said. "I realized a long time ago that having Twitter and Facebook open at my desk may not be the most conducive thing. What we're doing is studying the cognitive mechanisms responsible for how much we can handle."Anyone interested in participating can register at WVUCommMOOC.org.Reach Mackenzie Mays at email@example.com or 304-348-4814.

Why Buy a Portable Speaker?
You own an iPod, a mobile device equipped with audio, a laptop and a PSP. You can listen to music and other audio files on each and everyone of these things. Why would you possibly want to purchase a portable speaker? The fact is each of these pieces of equipment do broadcast audio, but they do not play it loud and clear without the use of headphones. In fact, most laptops, phones and handheld video games can only be heard if you are holding them closely. Also, most MP3 players can only be heard with the use of headphones. The restriction of audio does not allow you to hear the music loud or clear.
Portable speakers can fix this for you. Not only can you listen to you music without the use of headphones, but you can also broadcast it throughout the room. Others can listen to your music with you and the quality will be like nothing you've ever heard before.
If you look for a portable speaker that is compatible with all of your audio devices, your audio selections will be endless. There are many different portable speakers on the market, but to get the most for your money you should get one that has dual USB technology. This will give you the opportunity to use your portable speaker on both PCs and Macs.
One positive attribute to having a handheld speaker is listening to music with other people. If you have a portable speaker you can hook it up to your MP3 player or laptop and broadcast the music for the entire room to hear. This is a great idea for parties and casual get-togethers.
Handheld speakers are also good if you are a fitness fanatic that likes to work out with friends, having a compact speaker will allow you to listen to music together. There are some portable speakers on the market that are designed for the fitness gurus. They are small in size and weigh less than ½ pound. They also come with a fitness armband that will fit your MP3 player as well.
No matter what you use to listen to audio files, having a portable speaker will be beneficial. It will allow you to listen to your music louder, more clearly and without interference. It will also give you the ability to share your music with friends and most importantly, you won't have to use those dreaded headphones anymore.

Why buy a paper shredder?
According to the Federal Trade Association (FTA), an estimated 9 million Americans have their identities stolen every year. With the holidays around the corner, it's more important than ever to protect your personal and financial information. Identity thieves still rely on the most common and cheapest way to steal your information - digging through your trash and grabbing papers such as old credit card statements, expired credit cards, bills, check stubs, pay stubs, and even something as innocuous as a birthday card. Even with today's threat of fraud happening at an alarming rate, many people still throw away their old documents without thinking twice.
Credit card offers increase dramatically around the holidays, as these institutions hope to gain more profit by tempting people with preapproved credit limits. Such applications are rampant at this time, and thieves know this. If your identity and information gets stolen, the thief can use it to make an exorbitant amount of orders online, and have them shipped to their address instead of theirs.
Take the proper steps to protect yourself, your identity and your finances - not just around the holidays, but all year around. What is the easiest way to do so? Simply invest in a quality paper shredder. Not enough consumers do the proper research to find the best paper shredder for their needs. While it's common for businesses and corporations to use shredders, every home should have one. A small investment now will pay off in huge dividends when you realize you've cut the easiest rope thieves can climb to find out who you are.
First, you'll need to determine what a thief would need to steal your identity. Here's a condensed list:
• Your name
• Mailing/billing address
• Date of birth
• Mother's maiden name
• Social security number
• Account numbers (bank, credit card, etc)
• PIN numbers and passwords
As you may have guessed, your social security number is target number one - the skeleton key to your identity and who you are on paper. You'll want to make absolutely sure any document that reveals your social security number, even partly, is completely destroyed.
How do you find the best shredder for the highest security possible?
Paper shredders come in three shred types - strip-cut, cross-cut and micro-cut. Strip-cut shredders do just that - they cut paper into strips, and are the most commonly found because of their economic value. However, leaving your documents in even sized strips are not enough. A patient thief will simply put the pieces together and use it to find your account numbers, or use the "junk mail" for yet another preapproved credit card offer to get one made and sent directly to their door. You'll want something much more intricate. Cross-cut shredders cut your documents into crisscross, diagonal pieces, and make it impossible to piece back together. Micro-cut shredders cut the pieces even smaller and are most often used for highly sensitive data in hospitals and government offices. A cross-cut or micro-cut shredder is the best choice for anyone to use at home.
There are shredders that allow you to shred multiple papers at once, and even with blades that can safely cut credit cards and CDs. Investing in a shredder that does all three is ideal, since it'll effortlessly cover old statements, old, expired credit cards, or CDs that might have incriminating information. Very few, if any thieves will spend the time it'd take to put together several hundred pieces of a document when they could just move on to an easier target. Make life difficult for them, and ensure the padlock is on yours.
Profect against identity theft with a paper shredder while doing your 2012 taxes
It's almost time to file your taxes! In the United States, tax return season runs from January 1 – April 15 in 2013. Be prepared and protect your identity during this crucial time by shredding sensitive documents while filing your tax returns. Even if you believe your past paperwork is too old, outdated or insignificant, any personal information that ties back to your identity can be used by thieves. W2 forms, specific tax related forms such as 1040 or 1040A, and any other receipts, statements, and invoices have your personal information and should be eliminated after filing.
Your name, address, social security number and income numbers are plainly displayed and should only be viewed by authorized personnel, such as the IRS. Identity thieves know that this is a prime time to collect your information and up their efforts to rummage trash for old forms, receipts and invoices. This is the best time to shred all of your financial or personal information and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
You were probably saving your pay stubs, receipts and statements all year in preparation for your taxes. While you're collecting the previous year's paperwork, why not use the time to shred older papers and documents you may have stored away? You will likely bring up your storage of old documents, statements, invoices and forms from past filing seasons.
There are many benefits to shredding your old documents while doing your taxes:
The IRS suggests keeping documents that support your tax returns for at least three years in the event of an unexpected audit. However, if you're absolutely sure the threat of an audit has passed, or you're confident that you've done your taxes accurately and reported all income, keep a copy of that year's tax return and shred everything you used to reference the return.
ATM receipts, credit card statements, business invoices, write-offs, paycheck stubs, bank statements, investment records, insurance policies and big purchase warranties can all be safely shredded after you no longer need the information for that year's filing.
These days, you do not need paper versions of your receipts and forms. The IRS accepts electronic versions, so scan what you need and keep them safe in a USB flash drive or another secure virtual storage box. Banks offer online statements, and you can download applications directly from the IRS' website if necessary.
In the event your house is destroyed, having digital backups become invaluable, and when kept off-site (such as with a trusted party out of state or in a safety deposit box) you have little fear of your information being intercepted or simply picked apart with a paper trail.
Documents that do require a paper version include birth, death and marriage certificates, documents related to home ownership, wills, powers of attorney, business agreements, and divorce or child care orders, to name a few. Do not make additional paper copies – however, if you do, make sure the copies are shredded as soon as you don't need them. Tax season is a good time to look over what can be safely disposed.
Ensure your personal and financial information's security and use a high quality micro-cut or cross-cut shredder right after filing your taxes. Micro-cut and cross-cut shredders cut paper into multiple pieces, rendering it impossible for a thief to re-assemble. Keep one at home and well-maintained for years of security and protection from identity theft. Unclutter your space, save time and gain peace of mind this tax season with a smart investment on a quality paper shredder.
When you're out shopping for portable audio speakers, it's hard to know which one has the best quality AND won't put a hole in your wallet. There are so many brands, models, and features that could easily overwhelm anyone shopping for new speakers. However, once you try out the SimplyVibe V5-BT1, you'll never have trouble shopping for speakers again.
The SimplyVibe V5-BT1 portable speakers are the newest model that have been introduced on SimplyGlobo's website. One of the best features of this product is that it is Bluetooth which means it can hook up to your laptops, smartphones or tablets without dealing with any cords or plugging anything in. It's very simple to pair your device with the speakers and the instructions are user friendly and straightforward. Once your device is paired up, all you have to do is choose a song and hit play! You can control the volume as well as switch songs from either your own device or the speakers which I find very convenient. These amazing speakers can play up to 18 hours on medium volume without needing a charge, so you don't have to worry about charging it all of the time. The speakers aren't the only thing that can be charged; in case your phone battery is about to die, you can use the included USB and charge your phone using the speakers. That's a very special feature that you won't find on a lot of portable speakers. Also, if you're using your smartphone to listen to music and you get a call at the same time, you can answer the call using the product as a speakerphone! It takes one press of the button and you can talk to someone straight from the speaker and then go right back to listening to your music. After learning about all of the unique features of the SimplyVibe V5-BT1, I hope this helps make your shopping experience a lot less stressful! Happy shopping!

jcprice wrote:Hi green-tea,
I am sorry to read that you are in such difficult circumstances at the moment.
However, in my own practice, I have found that all of my own suffering has been a great opportunity for insight, or at least motivation for practice.
My thoughts on the matter are:
1. Are you safe? Out of compassion for yourself, if you are in danger of harm, you should remove yourself from that danger.
2. You have already acknowledged that you may have acted unskillfully. It is worth reflecting further on the cause and effect elements at work here. Great insight and opportunity for further insight.
3. It is worth reflecting that it is hard enough for us to make changes in ourself, let-alone attempt to change others.
4. While we may attempt, out of compassion, to help others, without the wisdom to succeed, our efforts are likely to be wasted.
5. A good basis for action in the world are the Four Sublime States (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/auth ... el006.html): Lovingkindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Sympathetic Joy (Mudita), and Equanimity (Upekkha). I have found the cultivation of these states of mind extremely useful for reducing suffering and improving skillful action.
6. As a first step to lovingkindness, it is important to acknowledge that, just like you and I, all unenlightened beings seek happiness and freedom from suffering, but they deluded about how to achieve it.
I am unsure of your current practice and understanding of the dhamma, so I'll stop there.
Also, I've only just joined these forums and I'm a bit rusty posts such as these.
With metta,
Laurens wrote:Hello green tea,
To be fair you were being provokative in saying "Do it", not saying your father was right in taking a swing at you, but perhaps your saying that is what pushed him to it. Would that scenario have ended in the same way if you apologised sincerely for saying "shut the f**k up" and explained the reasons why you were angry etc etc in a calm manner?
I think the main lesson here for you is to be more considerate in what you say and when you say it. In that post you describe two situations in which you say the wrong thing at the wrong time as it were, the first being telling your father to "shut the f**k up" the second being tempting him to "do it" when he was speaking of being violent.
In your speech you should be calm, peaceful and understanding. You should speak at the right time. The way to deal with this situation is to talk in a calm and understanding way to your father, try to understand where he is coming from as well as trying to get your point across, don't let it turn into a shouting match. Be apologetic and forgiving.
The man is your father, not your worst enemy, I am sure you can resolve this issue simply by having a discussion about it. If you give up your resentment towards him and he sees this, I am sure it will be easy for him to give up his resentment towards you. The problem currently seems to be that you both resent each other quite a lot and this is a vicious circle, you just make each other mad. This problem won't solve itself until one of you stops resenting the other. In the Dhammapada it says that hatred does not cease by hatred, that hatred ceases by love alone. Give it a try.
As for dealing with people that want to hurt you. Not telling people to "shut the f**k up" or pushing them to "do it" is a good start .
All the best
green-tea wrote:Laurens,
Thanks for the reply. I agree with everything you said and am wondering if there are any practices that might be suggested to help give up my resentment towards him. I understand that I should speak with calmness and understanding. Generally I do this, but as I described he pushed my buttons. I know those buttons of mine exist and am hoping that Buddhism can offer something to help manage those buttons. I would like to eliminate harmful reactions all together!
Maybe I simply need to spend more time in meditation...

Phillip Thomas Becomes Unanimous All-American
DALLAS, Texas. - Fresno State senior safety Phillip Thomas has become the first player in school history to be an unanimous All-America selection, has he been selected to all five official first-teams for the 2012 season.{} The final All-America team was announced Friday morning, as Thomas was named to the 2012 Football Writers Association of America All-America team on an exclusive live announcement on SiriusXM's College Sports Nation.{} "It means a lot. I've very appreciative of all the accolades and notoriety I'm getting right now," Thomas said. "I just appreciate my teammates because they do it for me as well as I do it for them and they deserve the credit. None of the accolades I got - All-America team or anything - has been me by myself.{} "It's just a good thing for Fresno State football to be able to have something like this happen to get people around the nation to notice Fresno State football."{} Thomas was previously selected to the AFCA, Sporting News, Walter Camp Football Foundation and Associated Press All-America teams that represent the four other official organizations. He now joins TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes (2009) and New Mexico linebacker Brian Urlacher (1999) as the only players in Mountain West history to garner unanimous All-America status.{} "Obviously it is a great indication of the kind of year he had," head coach Tim DeRuyter said of Thomas being one of 12 bowl subdivision players to achieve unanimous All-America status this season. "He worked extremely hard to come back after his injury a year ago. He really took well to the coaching and Tim McDonald did a great job with him.
"He put in the work and he absolutely produced. He was a guy that sparked our defense with eight interceptions and three scores, so all these accolades he is getting are very well deserved and for him to be the first unanimous All-American in Fresno State history, I think they picked a great one to do that."Just like on the four other official All-America teams, Thomas was the only offensive or defensive player from a non-BCS school to be named to the FWAA All-America team.{} For nearly seven decades (since 1944) the FWAA has selected an All-America team with the help of its members and an All-America Committee, which represents all the regions in the country.{} The Football Writers Association of America, a non-profit organization founded in 1941, consists of more than 1,200 men and women who cover college football for a living. The membership includes journalists, broadcasters and publicists, as well as key executives in all the areas that involve the game. The FWAA works to govern areas that include gameday operations, major awards and its annual All-America team.

In the storied tradition known as Lowriding, there are many different types of riders. The riders range from those who have projects that never seem to get finished, to those who finish their projects, but trailer them from town to town to keep them in mint condition. It seems that for one reason or another, some cars never get to put the rubber to the pavement on the boulevards and freeways of their cities. Joe "Wooch" Willingham is neither type. He's another breed of rider, one who believes that cars are built to be driven and tested constantly. With a chrome undercarriage, candy paint, and no fear of getting inches at any speed or in the pit, Wooch gets respect from riders of all types. As you can see for yourself, Wooch and his Regal hit the streets… HARD!
This particular project came to Joe's attention via a co-worker, who spotted this G-body gem for sale in a local paper. As soon as he saw it, he knew it was the ride he wanted to build into his dream car. The Regal had only 40,000 original miles and an ash tray that never saw smoke, so he paid the price the owner was asking, and was on his way. The rest is history.
Joe maintains close relationships with his fellow Lowriders. His team includes Jimmy and Tommy from Show and Go Customs, the shop where much of the work on 'Trouble Maker' was completed. After months of putting down ideas, time, and money, Trouble Maker rolls with its nose held high, as one of the cleanest rides on the Detroit Lowriding scene. You can find Joe cruising his 1986 Regal all throughout the city, riding on some of the roughest roads in the country. Despite these rough conditions, Joe throws caution to the wind and fully enjoys his vehicle, laid back in every cruise without worrying about chipping this or breaking that. His only major concerns are finding out where the other Lowriders are meeting up on Woodward, and where the best taco spot in Southwest Detroit is.

State of the County address upbeat
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) Kern County's Fifth District Supervisor Leticia Perez delivered the State of the County address Wednesday evening before a packed house at the Marriott Hotel.
Perez is the new chairwoman of the board, and she acknowledged that 2013 had its difficult moments in county government.
"Perhaps the most difficult challenge was Kern Medical Center," said Perez.
The county-owned hospital has been losing millions of dollars annually.
"We discovered that for many years, KMC had been spending far more and collecting far less money than it reported. Something had to be done, and we're doing it," she said.
Other sensitive spots touched on reducing the euthanasia rates for animals. Perez said the county was able to reduce euthanasia by 26 percent from 2012 to 2013. County supervisors this week committed $250,000 toward a countywide spay and neuter plan. It includes participation from communities and nonprofit groups.
On public safety, the county must find a way to supervise and rehabilitate thousands of state inmates released early each year into the county's custody to reduce state prison overcrowding.
Kern County's population has grown to 856,000. County supervisors oversee 42 departments with a total budget of $2.6 billion. Perez stressed the goal is to improve the quality of life in Kern County.
Some of the strongest applause from the audience was for The Outlets at Tejon Ranch. The first phase of the project is slated to open in August.
"Let us rededicate ourselves to making our community a place we are eager to call home," said Perez.

34 immigrants found in a Tilbury shipping container are now claiming asylum.
A Home Office spokesman said they "are now in the process of claiming asylum in the UK and we are providing accommodation and support to those who require it while their cases are considered".
He added: "The UK takes its international obligatiions extremely seriously and has a proud history of offering protection to those who need it."
Police can now confirm that they believe the man who was found dead to be Meet Singh Kapoor, aged 40, from Afghanistan.
The number of children found trapped in the shipping container has risen to 15.
Police and Border Force officers will now begin interviewing the final four of the 34 Sikh Afghanis found with their dead countryman, believed to be in his 40s, after they were treated for dehydration and hypothermia at Southend Hospital.
Police have now confirmed two adults and two children remained in the hospital overnight, taking the total children discovered in the container to 15.
Officials are yet to confirm the ages of the newly discharged patients, but those who left hospitals in Southend, Basildon and London at the weekend included 13 children aged between one and 12 and nine men and eight women aged between 18 and 72.

Oscar Pistorius not wearing prosthetic legs when he shot Reeva Steenkamp: leaked report
Oscar Pistorius was not wearing his prosthetic legs when he shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp dead through a locked lavatory door, a leaked ballistics report allegedly states, ahead of a court hearing laying the ground for the Paralympian's trial for her murder.
The latest claim in the case is reportedly made in a leaked ballistics report said to form part of the police investigations dossier handed to Pistorius' defence team last week.
Mr Pistorius, 26, is preparing to face the glare of the world's media once more as he appears in court in Pretoria on Monday for a preliminary hearing in his trial for the murder of Steenkamp, a law graduate and FHM model, who would have celebrated her 30th birthday today.
The double amputee shot Steenkamp dead at his home in Pretoria in the early hours of Valentine's Day this year. He claimed he thought she was a burglar - the state claims that he killed her deliberately after a blazing row.
In an earlier court hearing, Pistorius said he had woken in the middle of the night, heard a noise in the bathroom and grabbed his gun to protect himself and his girlfriend, who was staying the night.
"I did not have my prosthetic legs on and felt extremely vulnerable," he said in an affidavit.
"I believed that when the intruder or intruders came out of the toilet we would be in grave danger."
Gerrie Nel, the prosecutor, stated Pistorius took the time to strap on his prostheses, indicating the shooting had been a "clear case of premeditated murder".
According to a report in the UK Sunday Times, ballistics evidence backs up Pistorius' claim that he was on his stumps.
The paper quoted "a person with inside knowledge of the case" saying: "The defence will try to show that his actions were reasonable for a person with a disability."

Saturday September 28th, Ryan and I left LA at 5am to make the trek to Hollister Ranch outside of
Santa Barbara. Neither one of us knew what to expect as we took the 101 North, watching the
sunrise across the water, I knew it would be a good day. The AWOW founders and volunteers
greeted us in the parking lot and expressed their gratitude. The entire day was designed to create
an experience, even such a detail as having the best coffee available for the parents, was one that
wouldn't go unnoticed. The day was meant to not only provide water therapy for special needs
children, but offer guided surf instruction to their siblings and parents alike. A Walk On Water, a
non-profit organization, put on their final event for the season using the private beach at Hollister
Ranch to create a safe atmosphere. AWOW uses donations and proceeds from selling branded
merchandise to make this series possible, they don't charge the families to attend and all
volunteers donate their time. Seeing this event first hand, I cannot even begin to describe how I
felt, watching these kids paddle out with their instructor, and ride the wave in. Wether they stood,
laid or sat on the surfboard, the entire shore cheered them on as they made it in. The pure look of
joy, for a small moment, meant the world. For some of these families, they cannot go to public
beaches because of certain needs or behaviors that cause people to stare. But on this day, the
beach was all theirs. They could comfortably let their child play, kick sand and splash, while they
sipped their hot cup of Caffe Vita, knowing their child was safe in the hands of both the land and
sea instructors. It was this day, as several parents explained to me, each in their own way, that
gets them through all the hard days. To have one special day where their child was the happiest,
uncontrollably jumping with excitement for their achievements, where they said their first word,
'surf', where their sister was able to ride a wave in alongside her special needs brother. I have
never felt so blessed to experience a day like this one.

Airedale Hospital staff who take blood from patients have a new image.
Members of the phlebotomy (blood collection) team are proudly sporting new purple uniforms. Previously the staff, who run a drop-in service, wore white uniforms with an aqua trim.
The team is part of the pathology department and every morning its members go round the wards collecting blood samples from patients to take to the laboratories for analysis.
Operational manager Anne Crabtree took over the running of the team a year ago and has introduced a number of changes.
These have included altering the times of the service, producing a leaflet to let patients know what to expect from having their blood taken and making sure staff are not left without support when operating alone in community and outpatient clinics.
Ms Crabtree said: "As this team is the public face of pathology dealing with hundreds of patients on a daily basis, they need to present a professional, caring image. Phlebotomy is a skilful job and members of the team need to be successful every time. This can become tricky when people get older or have a history of smoking as their veins become very difficult to find."

1994 Mitsubishi Mighty Max - Weekend Warrior: STK TRUK Edition Part 5: Disk-Brake Conversion
Disc-Brake Conversion
An easy and overlooked modification in the minitruck world is the rear disc brake conversion. What made our conversion so easy is the fact that Downey Off-Road Manufacturing-a popular company with all of you dirt junkies-makes a bolt-on kit for Toyota trucks. Now, being a Mighty Max guy, I never really thought about this conversion. However, because we converted STK TRUK to five-lugs by using a Toyota Pickup rear-end, the rear-disc conversion was the next obvious step. After a quick phone call to the friendly staff at Downey, my brakes were on their way. The installation was very easy and straightforward. It took less than an hour, and the hardest part was taking off the dust plates. We definitely recommend this product to all the minitruckers out there with Toyota rear-ends. How can you argue when you see the awesome looks this product has to offer?

Newhall, AlfredThe Newhall name is one of the older and more renowned names in the American piano industry. DWIGHT & NEWHALL: Daniel B. Newhall was born in Boston in 1813, and was building pianos by his early 20s. Sometime in the 1820s, archives suggest that Daniel Newhall went into partnership with John Dwight to form the firm of 'Dwight & Newhall'. Dwight & Newhall were awarded a patent for an 'iron bar' in 1824 which was the forerunner of the cast iron plate used in pianos in later decades. WILKINS & NEWHALL: In 1832 Daniel B. Newhall entered into partnership with Levi Wilkins to form the firm of 'Wilkins & Newhall'. At first their factory was located at 23 Temple Street, but by the 1840s the firm had moved to the more fashionable location of 355 Washington Street, Boston. Archives suggest this partnership dissolved in 1855 with the death of Daniel B. Newhall. ALFRED NEWHALL: Daniel B. Newhall died in March of 1855, at which time his son, Alfred Newhall, took over the firm. Alfred Newhall brought John B. Mullin and Nelson S. Read into partnership, and the name of the firm was changed to 'A. Newhall & Company'. The few surviving pianos by the firm are labeled as 'A. Newhall & Company' as well as 'Alfred Newhall & Company'. None of the partnerships listed above ever built pianos in large numbers, but their instruments were exceedingly well made and of superior craftsmanship. Newhall was out of business before the Civil War, and their instruments are exceedingly rare and of museum caliber today.

I wouldnt dare to tell my mom that because she would definitly critisize and propably wouldnt even listen it . I know that a baby needs a lot of things but my Bf has a job ( he is finished the schoul this year ) and i know that his parents would be truly supportive ( I dont know about mine but ........) if we take that desision . if i get pregnant this wouldnt stop me to finish the school and i would most likely go to a univercity . I want a baby for years now but iam ( very) afraid what the others would say .

Aren't you like 16?
I think you need to be older than you are now to make the decision to become a mum. Life's not that short. Babies are sweet, cuddly and fun, but they cost money and are a lot of hard work, and for someone to actually consider this while they're as young as you are is a sign that you're too immature. Having a baby while you're in school is idiotic, you won't have time to deal with a child and do all that work. There's a reason why teenage mums drop out of school.My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014

Wait. Wait until you finish school. Maybe even until you go to university. Save some money and have it set aside for emergency use. I had my first son when I was 18/19 and even though I wouldn't take it back I wish I had a chance to do more as an adult. I was a teen who wanted a baby and a family also so I know where you are coming from but you should really wait. In five years from now you wont regret having the extra time to grow and learn and become yourself. You wont regret living alone with your boyfriend or getting married and taking a honeymoon without a baby in tow. You ccan say now that things like that wont matter but one day they will. Even a little bit here and there. Enjoy this time now because once you have a baby and you watch them grow you will understand that you want them to do so much. Just like your parents do for you. I dont know how old you are but take it from someone who is still fairly young, I'm 22 and even now I sometimes think that im so young.

With a 99% success rate (using stupidly naive "statistics") every single module on that Top 100 list will fail to install. In a large system with lots of recursive dependencies, it doesn't take much for your install count to grow to 20 or 50 or 100 dependencies.
Given that logic, and the fact that the top module on that list passes, cpanm would have to work with more than 99% of cpan (or only be broken for very little used modules). I'm quite aware that MojoMojo does depend on most of cpan. I think the 273 dependencies we have is quite sufficient. (and a bit over 1% of the total number of CPAN modules

FELTON -- Two cases of highly contagious measles have been confirmed in San Lorenzo Valley by lab tests, and the county health services agency warns anyone who shopped at New Leaf Market or Liberty Bank in Felton on Jan. 26, 27 or 28 may be at risk for the disease.
Health services agency spokeswoman Laurie Lang said the first confirmed case was isolated Jan. 19. The second was isolated at home Jan. 30, but remains infectious through Feb. 3.
The Communicable Disease Unit of the Public Health Department is investigating to identify close contacts to the cases. Measles can cause complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, ear infection and diarrhea.
"One of our employees was confirmed to have measles," said Nellie Donovan, New Leaf Felton general manager, noting the individual works in the office, not a cashier or someone handling food. "It was an extremely mild case."
Employees at New Leaf were required to produced immunization records, and those who didn't had blood drawn Friday to check.
"They're taking all the precautions," Donovan said.
The health department advises anyone who shopped at New Leaf on the days at issue to ask themselves:
If you answer yes to any of these questions, you likely are protected from measles but may want to consider a second dose of vaccine.
If you answer no to all of the questions, you are at risk for measles, according to the health agency, which recommends you get a vaccine and watch for symptoms from Saturday until Feb. 24.
If you have a cough, fever, runny nose, watery eyes or rash, stay home, isolate yourself and call your doctor, the health agency said.
Pregnant women and those who are immune-compromised are advised to call their health provider to report the exposure. To prevent measles from spreading, do not sit in the patient waiting room, the health department advised.

Negative Conceptions of GenY:
There can be no doubt that not everyone believes that (perhaps apart from their own kids) the
youth today is the greatest, most beautiful and smartest generation that has entered this world. In
fact, there are countless articles that tackle the problems of Generation Y and aim to explain why
today's youth is just not up to the standards of its predecessors. Common words and phrases
associated with Gen Y are shown below. Need more be said?
Want to be nurtured (constant feedback, immediate recognition) at work
Demand workplace flexibility
Unresponsive to motivational tactics
Motivated not only by money, but also fun and social (Maslow's hierarchy)
Easily bored (less consumerism, more engagement and stimulation)
No job or brand loyalty
Focus on live rather than work (work to live)
Ignorance of politics
No 'sucking up' but questioning and challenging employers
From a workforce perspective: they are difficult to attract, harder to manage and are
proving near impossible to retain.
Increased sensitivity to economic class
Image conscious
Demand rationale behind any request
Positive Conceptions of GenY:
While some negative press about Generation Y has been predominant lately, it has to be realised
that not all change is evil. In fact, positive aspects of this generation need to be highlighted, to
decrease generational barriers and create a more cohesive workforce with more satisfied
employers and employees. And there are plenty of positives about these individuals.
Furthermore, times are changing. Generation Y is here to stay and will be a major part of the
Australian workforce. And they can be beneficial to any organisation, bringing youthful idealism
and energy, a fresh view to the industry, new qualifications and a 21st century perspective to life.
In addition, there are other positive associations for Generation Y, which are shown below:
Knows technology
Ideally placed to be key drivers of product development and sales
Tolerant, accepting of differences in terms of race, gender and ethnicity
Well travelled
Fast learners
Very education-minded
Concerned about environment
Multi-taskers and fast thinkers
Creative and independent thinkers
Financially smart
Is there really such a difference?
It has to be acknowledged that pigeonholing an entire group of people into a category will only
serve to give a general overview of a person's anticipated needs and desires. Everyone's story is
unique and every individual has choices in how to respond to the surrounding environment and
make independent decisions. This could be said for all generations and people of all ages. It can
also be said that there have been countless teenagers and twens in the last 100 years that have
been rebellious and wanted to change the world. However, it is safe to say that it is our
surrounding environment that shapes many of our character traits. Therefore, it is logical that
people born around the same time, in similar social, cultural, economic and technological
environments will have similar characteristics. This in turn results in different perceptions of the
world and the way it works, known as generation gaps. For example, 48 % of Generation Y today
do not believe home ownership will be achievable in their lifetime. This highlights that Australia
is not the same place it was 25 years ago and therefore teenagers today are not like the teenagers
25 years today.
Why are the Y'ers what they are?
Generally described as impatent, demanding and self-interested with little job loyalty, it raises
the question of why values are so different today. Generation Y, which has grown up among
global terror threats and corporate downsizing, is driven by duty, independence and stability. To
them life is foremost and above all about choices. This generation has developed during one of
the most expansive economies in the past 30 years.
What needs to be realised is that Generation Y is the world's first global generation. They are the
most educated, entertained, materially endowed, entrepreneurial yet supported and protected
generation in history. Generation Y experienced the "working mum trend" first hand, so it is no
wonder this generation places more emphasis on quality of life rather than standard of living and
puts family and friends first.
While everyone has their own perception of this group of people and
individuals in it, there are some general observations of Generation Y that seem to be prominent
in academic and popular literature.
Generation of Choice
Top three things they want in a job are positive relationships with colleagues, interesting
work and continuous opportunities for learning.
When accepting a job, salary ranks sixth after training, management style, work
flexibility, staff activities and non-financial rewards
Internationally flexible (overseas recruitment)
Community/Social driven: be respected, included, understood and accepted
Decisions based on peers
Increasingly short term focus (finish education)
High disposable income (no financial commitments)
Deferring adulthood
Top 3 leisure activities being: go to a party, listen to radio, go to a movie
Communicating mainly through SMS and web

You don't really mean that do you Nathan?
I work in a school and I have one (teenager, not school) living under the same roof as me.
While I agree that their perspective can at times be fresh and thought provoking, one thing I wouldn't say is 'that they've got it all figured out'. Quite the opposite actually.
By the way, I don't actually think you are Jesus, nor deriding your statement, its just an indication at my shock!!!!
I really don't like smileys, but this one seems appropriate:
hi BenBen wrote:Hi Nathan
Of course you can have a converstion with Jesus if you are one and the same person. Don't you ever talk to yourself? I do.
Look, I hear what you are saying when it comes to treating all people as equals. Some months ago i actually did a short stint relief for a vacation program, looking after kids from the ages of four to 13. It was fun but hard work.
I don't mind my current job and I don't think it has hardened me against teenagers. I just tend to think that having had kids and working closely with kids at a number of institutions, you get a perspective that is a little different to, say, the perspective you enjoy.
Looking back at my own adolescence, I can say in retrospect that I definitely didn't have it all worked out. I was confused, tormented and so totally focused on the minutae of my own misery that I am surprised I actually survived to adulthood.
Thankfully not many kids that i have contact with are going through a similar adolescence that I had. But what I have witnessed, and speaking of generalisations, is that the vast majority of teenagers are so self-absorbed that they are oblivious to others, generally, there is a lack of awareness of the impact of their actions and an unwillingness to take responsibility for their actions. I also see some kids who are having issues with sexual orientation and other psychological issues such as anorexia or self-harm.
Kind regards
I've never had my own children but I've had a lot of other peoples children. Yes I have watched them grow from sprouts to taller than me. Working on the 2nd batch these days.Chris wrote:Hello Nathan,
Have you lived with the same young ones daily as they grew over the years from early teens to early twenties?
I think anyone who has had teenage children, and known their friends over the years, understands and sees the changes that come as they go through experiences, gain real knowledge of themselves and the world, and grow to maturity.

Still a bit judgmental for my tastes, but someone has to keep order. Well how would you feel about all this stuff if it was done in your name? I suppose he would have 'mixed feelings about it'. I'm sure he's fine. He's been pretty high since we lifted him up there. My relationship with him is pretty old. You may have to start from scratch, so be patient. Like I said, he's a busy guy.

Weeks dealing with bone bruise in right shoulder
PHOENIX -- Turns out Scott Sizemore isn't the only A's second baseman ailing these days.
MLB.com learned Tuesday that Jemile Weeks is also dealing with an injury -- a bruised bone in his right shoulder he suffered while getting tangled up at second base on a double-play attempt in Friday's game against the Giants. He hasn't played since being injured.
Weeks, manager Bob Melvin said, is day to day and close to returning to game action.
The young second baseman was enjoying a productive spring before the injury, collecting hits in six of his first 11 at-bats -- including a home run -- for a .545 average, to go along with five RBIs in just four games.
Sizemore, meanwhile, could return to the lineup as soon as Thursday after being hit by a pitch in the left hand on Sunday. He took grounders on Monday and hit in the cage Tuesday morning, both signs of progression.
The two infielders are the top candidates to open the regular season as the starting second baseman.

The demise of the NFL workhorse back has been greatly exaggerated.
With the rise in prolific passing games and the increase in teams adopting a committee approach to the running game, it might appear the opposite is true. The perception wasn't helped by the 2013 draft, when for the first time in 50 years no running back was selected in the first round.
But then you remember the power of Adrian Peterson, who broke the 2,000-yard rushing mark and almost set the NFL single-season record while carrying the Vikings to a wild-card berth.
PHOTO GALLERY: Highest-paid players
Peterson was among four 300-carry backs last season. The other three—Houston's Arian Foster, Washington's Alfred Morris and Seattle's Marshawn Lynch—also were major reasons their teams reached the postseason. Peterson, Morris and Lynch finished 1-2-3 in rushing yardage.
That fact wasn't lost on one of Peterson's biggest fans and fellow 2,000-club member—Lions Hall of Famer Barry Sanders.
"You look at last year. Your top three rushers all made the playoffs," Sanders said. "Your top three passers did not make the playoffs."
The 1-2-3 quarterbacks in yardage—New Orleans' Drew Brees, Detroit's Matthew Stafford and Dallas' Tony Romo—all fell short of the postseason. When you look deeper at the 2012 list of top rushers, 10 of the top 21 backs were on teams that made the playoffs
PHOTO GALLERY: Best of OTAs
Considering just how much they produced throwing the ball and still didn't crash the party, the Saints, Lions and Cowboys—who all have made recent playoff trips with those same quarterbacks—are looking to re-establish a steady running game in 2013.
The Saints aren't scrapping their multi-back approach, but with Sean Payton returning as coach, the power running game and balance to better support Brees will return. It's what made them a Super Bowl-winning team four years ago.
The Lions are moving away from inconsistent, injury-prone youngsters and going with seasoned former Saint Reggie Bush, who transformed from a scatback to a workhorse in Miami.
The Cowboys know a critical element of their offense in 2013 is having a healthy DeMarco Murray to carry the load.
The 2012 Patriots provide a good model to follow in striking the right balance. With Tom Brady and his many diverse receivers, New England had the No. 4 passing offense, but that was complemented by the No. 7 rushing offense. The Patriots found their workhorse in Stevan Ridley, and only the Seahawks attempted more rushes.
Teams such as the Seahawks, Redskins and 49ers excelled at balancing the traditional running game with the quarterback read-option running game last year. As good as the Redskins were in the scheme, there's no doubt that San Francisco, with Colin Kaepernick playing off Frank Gore, ran it the best.
And the running threats of Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III and Kaepernick made it tougher for defenses to slow down Lynch, Morris and Gore.
"You look at the teams that have figured it out—take San Francisco," Sanders said. "Before Jim Harbaugh got there, they were one of the worst rushing teams. They implemented schemes to run the ball better the past two years, and it got them to the Super Bowl."
Former NFL head coach Herman Edwards, now an analyst with ESPN, says a running game is more about "controlling the tempo" than "controlling the clock." The passing game is about striking to score and building a lead. The running game is what allows teams to dictate terms with that lead.
That's not to be confused with slowing things down and going into a shell to whittle the time off the clock. Teams such as the 49ers understand the formula for the modern running game—stay on the gas and adjust the pace without changing it.
Ideally, NFL teams would like to have a durable power back, a speed back, a receiving back and a pass-blocking back all rolled into one who can stay on the field and still stay strong in second half. When those roles are separated among two or three backs over four quarters, it's easier for defenses to know what to expect based on down and distance.
There weren't any first-round running backs in '13, but two first-rounders in 2012—Tampa Bay's Doug Martin and Cleveland's Trent Richardson—are off to a great start as versatile workhorses.
Two of last year's also-ran teams—the Chiefs (Jamaal Charles) and the Bills (C.J. Spiller)—had explosive backfield stars, too. Knowing the Peterson-powered Vikings reached the playoffs in spite of below-average QB play, Kansas City and Buffalo will hope big changes at quarterback will lead to quick turnarounds.
In the cyclical NFL, the more problems offenses can create in the passing game will continue to facilitate the running game. It's just that it's getting hard to find one good back to take advantage of that. When a team gets him, it will want to ride him.
They choose to run better
Three contending teams with big-time passing attacks who—like the Patriots—didn't quite make the Super Bowl last season but are trying—like the Patriots—to get more pop from the running game:
Green Bay Packers
The problem: The Packers have struggled to find a back who can do what Ryan Grant did for them from 2007 to '09. Consider Brandon Jackson, James Starks and Alex Green have been the team's leading rushers the past three seasons. By playoff time last year, the Packers were relying on undrafted, unheralded DuJuan Harris to get the majority of backfield touches.
The solution: They doubled up on backs in the draft with Alabama's Eddie Lacy (second round) and UCLA's Johnathan Franklin (fourth round). While Lacy's straight-ahead, powerful style is a nice complement to Aaron Rodgers' ability to spread the ball around, Franklin is good insurance if Lacy's injury issues linger. The Packers will remain a pass-first team, but now they have options to pound it more.
Denver Broncos
The problem: The Broncos were the league's best running team two years ago because they needed to be with Tim Tebow. With Peyton Manning, they became the passing team you would expect, but they still maintained a commitment to the run, finishing ninth in the NFL in rushing attempts. The issue was Willis McGahee wore down and was injured, and Knowshon Moreno, though effective down the stretch, didn't give them real pop, either.
The solution: The Broncos don't want anything fancy in the backfield to play off Manning, especially now that he has the added dimension in the shorter passing game with Wes Welker. Enter second-round pick Montee Ball, who comes with fresh legs and a good program pedigree from Wisconsin. He sets up well to finish drives for Manning.
Atlanta Falcons
The problem: Similar to Denver in 2012, Atlanta saw its old reliable back, Michael Turner, start to slow down. Though Turner was still able to score touchdowns (10), his yards-per-carry average plummeted to 3.6. Despite the proficiency the Falcons had with Matt Ryan zipping the ball around the field in an up-tempo attack, they didn't have a veteran to take advantage of it in every situation.
The solution: It might seem weird that the Falcons signed another aging back, Steven Jackson, who turns 30 in July. But Jackson still doles out abuse with his size and is a more consistent runner than Turner. Although Jackson is not as good at the goal line as Turner, he makes up for it with the versatility to make steady contributions as a receiver. That fits better in the Falcons' new high-flying attack.

I may be the noob around here but not to forums. Isn't it a mods job to keep the thread's on point? I fail to see what this reply has to do with 24. LJ I think your personality is threatening to some. That is not a dig. It speaks more to the individual(s) who feels threatened. But that is not 24-related so...
On a side note, the only other show that keeps me on the edge of my seat week to week is Prison Break. As long as 24 can keep doing that I'll be watching.
The episode was that boring to me.
I'll even take more little Ricky because he has something big in store for us.
We need some serious action/twists in the next few hours to make up for a few slow episodes.

Architecturally, the restaurant is a succession of intersecting glass planes. It is a comfort-controlled conservatory, chic and dazzling. Beautiful but also austere, the dining room is sparse with expensive details: a glass box with hardwood floors, bare wood tables and upholstered but straight-back chairs. It's an expense account-driven venue of angular, masculine composition.
Executive chef Marco Fossati hails from a long line of professional cooks. Born in Portofino, Italy, he has worked kitchens in Italy, London, Berlin, Hong Kong and Egypt. He is responsible for the hotel's considerable business and reception catering, as well as room service, and a large restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
When I last reviewed Quattro in 2006, Fossati was chef de cuisine and Alessandro Cartumini was executive chef. Fossati transferred to Egypt for two years but has been fully in charge of the East Palo Alto kitchen since November.
New chefs bring change and one was simplifying the menu. There are now five appetizers, five pastas, five entrees and eight desserts, plus cheeses. There is a four-course chef's tasting menu ($55) and a bar menu that offers more casual fare: pizza, appetizers, cheese and dessert. Every ingredient possible is locally farm-sourced.
Seated in the dining room, I loved the chanterelle mushroom trifolati ($13): grilled peaches, garlic and parsley, all drizzled with a 20-year-old balsamic vinegar. The earthy chanterelles had been thinly sliced and fried with garlic and parsley, then reassembled on the plate with tiny wedges of the grilled peaches. Old balsamic is sweet and syrupy, and juxtaposed wonderfully with the woodsy mushrooms.
Also noteworthy was the vitello tonnato ($12), poached top-round veal, pickled ramps, a tickle of thyme and creamed ahi tuna. Sounds a little strange but it was delicious. Vitello tonnato can be traced back to 19th-century Piedmont, where the tuna was pounded into pulp with olive oil to make it creamy.
We shared a second course of smoked pappardelle ($15) with duck ragu and pecorino cheese. The kitchen happily split the order onto two plates but charged us an additional $4 for doing so. Not cool for a dinner that approached $200 for two people. I've never experienced an upcharge when ordering multiple courses. The pasta was good but not $19 good.
The wild striped sea bass ($28) was sauteed in Marsala (a fortified Sicilian wine), with sultana raisins and caponata (sauteed eggplant and other veggies). The fish tasted fresh-off-the-line, delicate and barely flaky. The Marsala and raisins gave the dish a resonant note of sweetness but did not overpower the bass.
The organic chicken ($26) came with a Meyer lemon confit (thin slices of lemon poached in olive oil) and taggiasche olives from the Italian Riviera, black, oily and sweet. It is a Mediterranean dish I will never tire of eating.
Quattro's bar area is divided into two oblong sections. One room has a modern marble and glass fireplace, stone walls and shelves of Joan Miro art books. Flanking the fireplace are a half-dozen modernist paintings that mirror Miro's abstract expressionist style.
The bar menu is more relaxed but some items appear on both bar and dining room menus. BBQ sliders ($13) featured Point Reyes blue cheese. The fork-tender meat was piled into mini-buns and the cheese oozed deliciously. A Madeira onion dipping sauce accompanied.
Dungeness crab tempura roll, $6 for three rolls, was packed with crab and salmon. The dish was mostly salmon, chives, pickled ginger, wasabi and dipping sauce. Great finger food that whetted the appetite.
Parma ham pizza ($14) was piled with arugula and curls of Bellwether Farms' soft-ripened crescenza cheese. The crust was magnificent: thin, crisp but not crackery, just pliant enough with a hint of sweetness to it.
All desserts were $9. Pastry chef Minoru Miyazaki's sweet endings were all terrific. The Neapolitan baba al rum featured crisp almond caramel, citrus rum syrup and vanilla whipped cream.
The Sicilian cannoli trio was a compote of sweet black Bing cherry with a breath of mint. The chocolate tortino was similar to a lava cake. Hot chocolate oozed from the spongy cake when the cake was pricked. A scoop of honey gelato accompanied.
My favorite was the tiramisu with cocoa powder, mascarpone and espresso. The round cake was creamy and refined, chocolaty, with just a suggestion of the espresso.
The restaurant manager is wine expert Claudio Villani. Quattro offers two dozen wines by the glass ($11-$25), numerous half-bottles, and an extensive list of 750-milliliter bottles: 400 labels and counting. The corkage fee is $30, except on Friday evenings when corkage is waived and the entire wine list is offered at 50 percent off.
No need to be overly dressed at Quattro. It's business casual, but that's about the only thing casual about the place.

Taylor Momsen's acting days are over!
The 18-year-old Pretty Reckless singer told Elle magazine that she's "quit acting" and wants to focus solely on her music career.
"I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band," she told the site. "That's pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully, I'll be able to only do that for the rest of my life."
In November, Momsen began an "indefinite hiatus" from Gossip Girl amid numerous headlines about her shocking wardrobe and foul-mouthed interviews. In May, Us Weekly confirmed she would not be reprising her role as Jenny Humphrey on the CW hit.
"[Music] is all I ever wanted to do with my life," she told Us in April. "I wanted to make records and tour, so it's very exciting that our first record is coming out and people can actually hear it."

SUPERMARINE boss Dave Webb has decided he would like to keep loanee Conor Thompson at the club until the end of the season but it is yet to be seen whether parent club Torquay will go along with his wishes.
The former Swindon Town youth team goalkeeper has been a steadying influence behind the back four since the departure of Kent Kauppinen before Christmas, but is due to return to League Two Torquay following Saturday's home game with Taunton.
Webb has been mulling over whether or not to keep Thompson at the Webb's Wood Stadium over the weekend, with a number of other options available to him, but having signalled his desire to keep the youngster now has to wait and hear the opinion of new Gulls boss Chris Hargreaves.
"Conor's keen to stay with us and down at Torquay they have three keepers of which he is one, so, although the clubs haven't spoken yet, we would be keen to have him here maybe until the end of the season," Webb said.
"Until the clubs talk about that we won't know, although he's available for the next two games, but hopefully something will be sorted.
"There could well be an emergency recall in there in case Torquay need him back, which can present problems for us, but we will have to deal with that because he's a very good goalkeeper.
"We do have some more options we could exploe but Conor's come in and done really well and has given us a lift.
"I'm sure he wants to stake a claim at Torquay so it will all depend on what the clubs can agree, but we would hope to know more by Tuesday really."
Marine's game away at Wimborne on Saturday was washed out by the wet weather, much to Webb's frustration, but the former Highworth boss is keen to avoid further fixture congestion after backed up matches caused his side problems last season.
"It's frustrating but there's not an awful lot we can do about it because it's so wet everywhere," he said.
"We've only played four matches since the start of December so we're really hoping we don't get into a situation like we did last year with so many games crammed into April, so we're doing our best to fit them in.
"We need to keep our players fit over this period and if we do then we have a chance."
