Gov. Christie's declaration that he "could win" the White House if he wanted brings to mind the story of a political leader a few thousand years ago in ancient Athens.
Aristides was making the political fight of his life and a jealous enemy, Themistocles, had arranged a special election to banish him from Athens.
For many years, Aristides had been one of the most popular politicians in Greece. He did so much good that people loved him and called him "Aristides The Just."
But the people grew tired of him, and Themistocles managed to arrange a plebiscite to kick Aristides out of Athens. Citizens assembled in the marketplace and, as was the custom, those in favor of banishing him wrote his name on a fragment of pottery and dropped it in a box.
One illiterate man approached Aristides. He didn't recognize him but asked him to write his name on a ballot. Aristides asked whether Aristides had ever done him any wrong.
The man replied: "No. I don't even know who Aristides is, but I'm tired of everyone calling him 'Aristides the Just.'"
Without saying a word, Aristides did as he was asked. And, soon after, he was banished from Athens.
It seems to me that, for centuries, this man Aristides has been a model for modesty.
The governor of New Jersey, alas, is not. Even as he slashes expenses and battles unions, he manages to speak in glowing terms -- about himself.
About running for president in 2012, he told the National Review: "I already know I could win."
But he insisted he wasn't going to do it. "I have people calling me and saying to me, 'Let me explain to you how you could win.'"
"But that's not the issue," Christie said. "I see the opportunity both at the primary level and at the general election level."
But, he added, "I've got to believe I'm ready to be president and I don't."
That was a refreshingly modest statement by the governor who has been in the Statehouse for barely more than a year.
If he were planning a run for the presidency, one practical consideration is that, lately, Christie has been making as many enemies as friends among citizens who don't like his budget-cutting actions.
Thousands of police officers and firefighters protested budget and pension cuts in Trenton Thursday. Some played transcriptions of Christie promising during his campaign that he would protect their pensions and yelled "Liar ! Liar!"
Christie told NBC New York's Brian Thompson: "What I'm trying to do is save the police officers' pensions."
As for modesty, Abraham Lincoln was humble if not modest. In his first political speech, historian Harold Holzer told me, Lincoln said: "I'm humble Abe Lincoln. If elected, it would be wonderful. But, if not, it will be all the same."

Cellular service zones erraticJan. 17, 2001
Sprint, Alltel top Waco wireless phone market
Those who have experienced it know how exasperating it is: The cell phone that worked less than five minutes ago is now unable to find a signal.
How is it possible to have already moved out of the coverage area when the blasted little machine has only traveled half a mile? Despite the many advances in technology, can the cellular phone industry still be this erratic?
This is probably a common line of thinking for Waco residents who unknowingly wander outside the coverage area of their cell phones. Half a mile may not seem very far, but it can make a big difference when one is trying to make a call from a cell phone.
In spite of the apparent inconsistencies, wireless phone services have very specific coverage parameters.
Because of these specific parameters, the coverage areas of all the service providers are very different.
'I would say that having a large coverage area along with a good, strong signal is one of the top factors one should consider when buying a wireless phone,' said Chris Martin, who is the corporate communications and public relations director for AT&T in central and south Texas.
'Having a large coverage area doesn't mean anything if there are a bunch of holes in the coverage area where you can't get a signal.'
AT&T, Alltel and Sprint are the three largest service providers in the Waco area, according to personnel at Radio Shack, which is an authorized dealer of both Sprint and Alltel wireless services.
According to their respective calling area maps, the three main wireless services have very different coverage areas that seem to cater to different needs.
Sprint's coverage area blankets all the metropolitan areas, but in between Dallas and Austin, the company's wireless service only extends out a few miles on each side of Interstate 35.
'I've never really had any problems with my Sprint service,' Brian Matthews, a Houston freshman, said.
'I have never traveled very far from Interstate 35 with it, though, so I don't know how it would do out there.'
Alltel wireless service, on the other hand, provides coverage not only along Interstate 35 and in McLennan County, but also to some of the less populated counties in the area.
'I have used Alltel for two years now and I haven't had any problems,' said Radio Shack salesman Ken Pflanz.
'I chose Alltel over Sprint because Sprint's service only extends out about five miles on each side of Interstate 35, whereas Alltel covers all of McLennan county and several surrounding counties.'
Alltel provides local calling rates from Limestone County to Hamilton County, and from Bosque County to Bell County.
'We have tried to branch our services out not only to McLennan County but to all the surrounding rural counties as well,' said Jeff Hansen, the general manager for Alltel's central Texas wireless service. 'We take pride in having a strong local footprint.'
AT&T's coverage area is the median of the three major services in the Waco area. AT&T covers all the major metropolitan areas as well as all of east Texas and McLennan County.
However, unlike Alltel, they do not include Bosque, Hamilton or Lampasas counties in their local calling areas.
'Overall, I am happy with my service,' AT&T user Sarah Phillips, a Mansfield sophomore, said.
'What we pride ourselves on is having not necessarily the largest coverage area, but having the strongest signal within our coverage area,' AT&T's Chris Martin said.
'We have the strongest network backbone of any service in the Waco area. Having a bunch of tall towers will do you no good if you are emitting a weak signal.'

1) In a move that comes to no ones surprise, especially those who read this blog, Bob Hartley was let go today. In the interim GM Don Waddell will take over the coaching duties. In truth BOTH the coach AND GM should have been given their walking papers today. Waddell has done a horrendous job with this team.
2) With their 0-6 start coupled with their sweep last season in the first round of the playoffs the Thrashers have lost their last 10 games under this regime. Waddell has made significant recurring mistakes that have resulted in this team being in its current predicament. We will have more on this later today!

HAMILTON — In the NHL you had Dave (The Hammer) Schultz or Dave Semenko racking up the penalty minutes with each fight or bench-clearing brawl. If you were a hockey fan, you probably knew the league's goal leader as well as its No. 1 goon.Follow @SlamSports
In the CFL penalties come and go, for the most part, without a face put to the infraction. Sure, the number of the guilty party is announced over the public address system, but you don't hear his name and the league doesn't track individual penalty statistics.
That got us to thinking: Who are the Bomber bad boys? Who are the players piling up the penalty yards? Winnipeg was rather undisciplined in the first three games of the season, but they have curtailed their naughty behaviour in their last two outings and through five weeks are now the most disciplined team in the league.
Now if only head coach Mike O'Shea could get these guys to smarten up. Here are Winnipeg's top five penalty yard producers through five games:

One of the things I just discovered about my boyfriend after our first vacation together is… if he were an animal, I would have no idea what kind of animal he would be!
Let me explain…
We just got back from Sandals Royal Bahamian for a few days of fun in the sun, jet skiing and four-handed massages (look it up, it's divine!!!). How can you not be happy lounging by the pool with unlimited drinks and food? Oh, and my love right beside me. It was the most amazing vacation I have ever taken. We didn't want to come home.
But we did run into one snag…
Now, when I say we had the best vacation, you would think that my partner, Jim, and Producer Craig would just take my word for it, right? Nooooo… instead they dialed up Michael early this morning to find out if we really did get along on vacation and what was the one thing he learned about me when we spent 96 hours straight together…
So, the one snag we ran into?
We participated in the poolside "Newlywed Game"… Nine couples answering questions about each other, but they aren't the normal questions that would come up in conversation. Hence, the "if he was an animal, what animal would he be?" question. That's the question that really tripped us up!
I couldn't believe the animal Michael thought he would be…
It's not as easy as it sounds! And to prove the point, we grabbed another couple who was listening and put the same questions to them… they didn't do much better!!

text: Hi, I am a full time stage/studio musician. I have been playing guitar, banjo, and mandolin for many years, but am hoping to add my 1st bass to my toolbox. I think I have decided to go a more classic/vintage vibe route. I had previously considered the possibility of getting a longer scale (35' plus) 5/6 string bass...figuring it could cover some serious territory and work in any situation. I think, for now, I am going to start with something a bit more traditional. I am thinking about a 5 string Jazz Bass or 5 string P Bass. I want to get something decent quality, american made, and will probably upgrade the electronics down the line... Can anybody tell me more about the differences between a P and a J? It seems like the 5 string versions are not popular...why? Thanks!!!

If you have an HTPC you will know that it is nice to have a wireless keyboard and mouse for those times that you want to surf the web or watch a video on YouTube. However most wireless keyboards are large and hard to use while sitting on a couch. Several companies have tried to solve this by making hand held devices that are small and have a keyboard and touchpad. EFO is one of those companies and their product is the EFO Keyboard
- Plug & play
- Support Window (2000, XP & Vista) and Linux (Debian-3.1, Redhat-9.0, Ubuntu-8.10, Fedora-7.0), Mac OS (with USB port). It can also be used on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii games consoles, etc.
- Applicable for the lecturer, meeting presenter, classroom teacher, sales manager or anyone using a projected image.
- RF interface provides a range of 33 feet in any direction.
One of the key features of any mini keyboard is that it is easy to setup and use. The EFO Keyboard meets that requirement by only requiring a single USB dongle and no software or drivers.
Because the EFO Keyboard does not need any software or drivers, it is compatible with most Operating Systems. It is even compatible with most gaming systems.
There are a whole bunch of different uses for a wireless keyboard. Everything from remote controlling an HTPC, laptop during a presentation (for a lecturer or teacher), or even writing emails from afar.
Instead of the normal IR interface for most remotes, the EFO keyboard uses an RF interface. This RF interface allows the attached computer to be controlled without a line of site and from any location, as long as you are within 33 feet.
The front is where you find the keyboard, touchpad, and activity lights. There are actually 5 lights at the top of the EFO keyboard and they consist of charging, external power, RF status, battery power, and caps lock/input switch.
The touchpad is quite large when compared to other devices like this, but this gives you lots of room to move around in. Below the touchpad are two buttons which are the left and right mouse buttons.
The keyboard is very small, but it does has a standard QWERTY layout. The buttons are also slightly raised, but they are also very smooth. Most of the buttons have dual functions, the second function is indicated with a small number or character above the regular one. However, not everything is perfect. Normally, the F and J keys have a raised spot so that you can orient your fingers without looking at the keyboard. This keyboard does not have these, and some of the keys are not in their normal location, so looking at your fingers while typing is a necessity. The keyboard is also missing multimedia keys. For use with an HTPC the multimedia keys would have been very helpful.
The keyboard also has a backlight function, but it needs to be turned on manually. To turn on the backlight the RF key must be pressed twice. The only way to turn off the backlight is to let the keyboard go to sleep or use the power switch to turn off the keyboard.
Backlit keys
Backlit keys
The bottom has the USB port for charging, and a power switch. I often found myself forgetting to turn off the keyboard. Fortunately, the EFO keyboard also has a sleep mode. This means that if you are like me and you forget to turn of the keyboard, you don't need to worry about wasted batteries. The sleep mode automatically activates after 30 seconds of inactivity.
So now it is time to hook it up to my HTPC and try it out.
Because there is no software to install, setting up the EFO keyboard is very easy, just plug it in and turn it on.
Once it is plugged in and turned on, the computer will detect a new device and install any needed drivers. After that is done the only thing left to do is use it, and using the EFO keyboard is actually very easy.
As I stated above the keys have a QWERTY layout, so it is easy to find the keys you are looking for. The buttons have a solid feel and give a solid click when pressed. I did not have any trouble getting it to work or using it.
Warranty and Support
The EFO Keyboard comes with a 1 year warranty, and you get support through the EFO website.
The keyboard certainly does its job, and it does it without breaking the bank. The low price of $40 makes up for a lot of the missing features. For example, the more feature rich Logitech diNovo Mini sells for about $120, thats 3x as much as the EFO keyboard.
If your looking for a wireless mini keyboard and you are on a tight budget then the EFO keyboard is a great option.

NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), has captured an image of two black holes in the spiral galaxy IC342 (also known as Caldwell 5).
"These new images showcase why NuSTAR is giving us an unprecedented look at the cosmos," said Lou Kaluzienski, NuSTAR program scientist in a release. "With NuSTAR's greater sensitivity and imaging capability, we're getting a wealth of new information on a wide array of cosmic phenomena in the high-energy X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum."
The NuSTAR is the first telescope in orbit that can focus on high-energy X-Ray emissions, which allows it to get a much clearer picture of distant stellar phenomena. Galaxy IC342 is 7 million light-years away from Earth.
Before NuSTAR, high-energy X-ray pictures of this galaxy and the two black holes would be so fuzzy that everything would appear as one pixel
"High-energy X-rays hold a key to unlocking the mystery surrounding these objects," Fiona Harrison, NuSTAR principal investigator at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena said in a statement. "Whether they are massive black holes, or there is new physics in how they feed, the answer is going to be fascinating."
In the NuSTAR image (above), the two points of purple indicate the presence of black holes. The purple indicates X-rays while the rest of the image is represents visible light.
"Before NuSTAR, high-energy X-ray pictures of this galaxy and the two black holes would be so fuzzy that everything would appear as one pixel," said Harrison.
The two black holes are not supermassive black holes like the one at the centre of our galaxy, but they are still ten times more luminous than the normal stellar-mass black holes that pepper the space between the stars.
The black hole picture wasn't the only one the NuSTAR sent back.
The image shows the stellar remains of supernova Cassiopeia A, about 11,000 light years away from Earth.
"Cas A is the poster child for studying how massive stars explode and also provides us a clue to the origin of the high-energy particles, or cosmic rays, that we see here on Earth," Brian Grefenstette of Caltech, a lead researcher on the observations said in a statement. "With NuSTAR, we can study where, as well as how, particles are accelerated to such ultra-relativistic energies in the remnant left behind by the supernova explosion."
The NuSTAR telescope was launched last June. You can read more about it here.

About the Honorable Harold A. Ackerman
February 15,1928 to December 2, 2009
Judge Ackerman was born on February 15, 1928. Judge Ackerman attended Seton Hall University between 1945 and 1948, during which time he served in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of sergeant. After returning from the service, he attended Rutgers Law School in Newark and received his law degree in 1951. After graduation, Judge Ackerman worked in private practice for three years before taking a position with the New Jersey Workmen's Compensation Division of Labor and Industry in 1954. He began what would become a 54-year judicial career by becoming a judge of the New Jersey Worker's Compensation Court in 1955. He served in several state-court judicial posts between 1955 and 1979, including judgeships with the Union County District and County Courts, as well as the Law and Chancery Divisions of the Superior Court, before being nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey by President Jimmy Carter on September 28, 1979. Judge Ackerman received his commission on November 2, 1979, and was sworn in as a District Judge on January 3, 1980. Judge Ackerman assumed senior status on February 15, 1994.
During his tenure in the District of New Jersey, Judge Ackerman heard thousands of cases and presided over hundreds of trials and hearings, including many involving political corruption, organized crime, and fraud. In 1984, after a lengthy bench trial, Judge Ackerman held that a Teamsters local union had been controlled by organized crime through violence and intimidation, and became the first judge in the nation to assert federal control over a mob influenced union under the RICO statute. His tireless efforts over the next 14 years restored democracy to the union and helped rid the union of mob control. From 1986 to 1988, Judge Ackerman presided over what, at the time, was the longest criminal trial in American history: the prosecution of 20 alleged members of the Lucchese organized crime family. Judge Ackerman frequently sat by designation on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and in recent years he also sat by designation annually on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Judge Ackerman also served as a mediator with the Third Circuit's Appellate Mediation Program, and he was renowned for his uncanny ability to settle cases.
Judge Ackerman loved this Court and his country, and enjoyed every minute of his service to the Court. Throughout his years on the bench, he fostered close relationships with his law clerks and staff. Judge Ackerman ate lunch with his law clerks every day, sharing his legendary stories and jokes, and considered his clerks part of his family. He served as a mentor and friend to his devoted law clerks, many of whom have gone on to have distinguished careers in public service and private practice, in academia, and on the bench. As a judge, he prided himself on treating all litigants fairly and with respect and courtesy. He lived by the motto inscribed in Latin on the bench in his Newark courtroom: "Let justice be done though the heavens fall." Judge Ackerman's fairness, humor, and larger-than-life presence is sorely missed.

SECOND ELEVEN: Match drawn at Hove as rain denies exciting finish14-Aug-2014
Sussex's Second Eleven Championship match with Gloucestershire at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, Hove finished in a draw yesterday, as heavy rain during the evening session ensured there was no chance of an end result.
After the visitors resumed 12 runs ahead on the final day yesterday morning, they reached 335 for 9 declared. Fynn Hudson-Prentice (pictured) was the pick of the bowlers for Sussex, taking 4 for 34, whilst there were also scalps for Abi Sakande, Daniel Doram, Ashar Zaidi and Sam Grant. Mark Craig, who has played three Test Matches for New Zealand, made a century for Gloucestershire.
That set Sussex a target of 248 to win the match but at 99 for 3 the heavens opened and no further play was possible. Phil Salt top-scored with 33 whilst Harry Finch (26) and Zaidi (14 not out) also chipped in.
The Second Eleven are back in action today taking on Gloucestershire again in the 50-over Trophy competition. Play begins at 11.00am and entrance is of course FREE at Hove.

SAN ANTONIO, June 10 (UPI) -- A woman was wounded and a suspect was arrested Monday in a shooting at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston in Texas, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 2:50 p.m. local time at the Army Medical Department Center and School, prompting a lockdown at the base, WOIA-TV, San Antonio, reported.
The lockdown was lifted after the suspect was taken into custody a short time later.
The victim was in stable condition at San Antonio Military Medical Center, the TV station said.
The Houston Chronicle reported a post official said the gunman was a retired Army sergeant major. The official said he had "no idea" why the man, who turned himself in, began shooting.

As the great Salt-N-Pepa once sang: Let's talk about sex. (C'mon.)
I once went on a date with a handsome mountain man, and things were going well. He was cute, well-read, and we talked about food for two hours, which gave me an enormous, uncontainable boner. So we went back to his apartment where there was a cat (first red-flag) and things started getting freaky. Everything seemed to be going according to plan, and then this began:
Him: (excitedly) Oh, so you're a bad little girl, huh?
Me: Sorry, what?
Him: Yeah, you're a dirty little girl!
Me: (flustered) Umm. Well I guess I cheated on a few tests in high school. And I don't shower every day, so I guess I do kind of have a 'devil may care' thing going on, but it's not —
Him: Yeah, say it!
Me: What?
Him: Say you're a bad little girl!
Me: (resigned) Oh, boy.
Now, I have no problem with dirty talk. I just wasn't into this particular brand and I didn't know how to address it without embarrassing both of us. This was my mistake. It's been proven that talking about your sexual likes and dislikes makes you much more satisfied and comfortable, which in turn makes it much easier for women to come. But rarely do people actually talk about sex before they hook up for the first time.
In an ideal world there would be a sexual checklist you could fill out when you meet someone, much like the menu at The Meatball Shop, where you can pick the things you like and ignore what you don't (e.g. extra cheese, please don't call me a "small child"). This will also help you to avoid situations where you do the regrettable without permission, like slap an unwilling partner in the face. (I'm sorry about that.)
Dating apps like OkCupid show you your sexual match percentage with a potential date and you can search for people based on personality traits like "kinkiness", "aggressiveness" and "sex experience" to see if they're your style. But if you meet your partner IRL, the conversation needs to be more organic. A study by Assistant Professor Elizabeth Babin at Cleveland State University in Ohio found that "apprehension in talking about sex can spoil one's sexual enjoyment, with that anxiety linked both to less communication in bed and less satisfaction overall. Unsurprisingly, less sexual communication apprehension and higher sexual self-esteem were both associated with more communication" about sex.
At the end of the day, having someone inside of you is pretty much the most intimate thing on this earth and if you're not comfortable talking about it, you're probably not going to be comfortable doing it. As the great band Salt-N-Pepa once sang: Let's talk about sex. (C'mon.) Let's talk about sex. (Do it.) Let's talk about sex. (Uh-huh.)

What BPM Experts Know About Business Process that SOA Folks Don't - …Some people have proposed creating a new term such as Process-Oriented Architecture (POA) needs to be created to separate those SOA efforts that are process-driven from those that aren't, but one can just as forcefully argue that SOA efforts that are not process oriented are of little value. Successful SOA must necessarily be process-driven, otherwise an organization's SOA efforts are nothing more than either standards-based integration or a new form of object-oriented computing. SOA efforts will get a significant boost in both effectiveness as well as business stakeholder buy-in if it can leverage the best of what's been learned from BPM as well as include BPM experts within their SOA teams. Indeed, for SOA to be successful, it must merge or more comprehensively combine with the efforts of BPM in order for it truly to be a business-focused architectural approach that successfully gives business the freedom to change. webMethods Hires Renowned Process Improvement Expert Bruce Williams to Accelerate Enterprise Success with BPM - webMethods, Inc., a leading business integration and optimization software company, today announced the appointment of Bruce D.

Review for Project Mend-A-House, Manassas, VA, USA
i got involved over 9 years ago with Project Mend-A-House (PMAH) as a board member. At that time we didn't know where any of the money was coming from to do the work needed for our clients. Since that time, we have expanded our reach in the community and our funding has far exceeded anything we ever imagined. The clients we help (seniors, low income, & infirmed) so need help from organizations like PMAH. We help with projects such as repairing homes, help build wheelchair ramps, clean yards, landscape, and painting. The work is done all by volunteers... and each one loves helping each other & helping the community. I am proud to be associated with this organization - it's needed in our community & in every other community in our country.

Swisher born with baseball in blood
Swisher born with baseball in blood
"I told him, 'I want to be a Major League Baseball player just like you were,'" Nick said. "That's when I realized this is what I wanted to do."
But Steve, who coached for 15 years and played nine years in the Major Leagues, didn't want Nick to get ahead of himself and he gave Nick advice that he will never forget.
"He told me, 'Hey, that's awesome, but I'm going to tell you one thing -- you're going to have to work for it,'" Nick said. "That's something that I have always just remembered."
Nick said that the whole summer was memorable because he got to spend it shagging balls for the team and, most of all, being with his dad.
"Every seventh inning at the games, I would just fall asleep on top of the bat rack," Nick said. "Maybe that's where I got a little bit of baseball in me."
Nick, who joined the A's in 2004, said he still talks to his dad after each game.
"I have been around this game my whole life," Nick said. "And if it wasn't for him and the things that he has taught me and the things that he has helped me with, I don't think I would be [in the Major Leagues].
"He's been my best buddy, my hero and my idol. [I'm here] because he taught me so much about this game. Not only the on-the-field stuff, but the off-the-field stuff, too. Any time I have a problem with things, I know I can call him and I know he'll be able to help me through the tough times."

Review for MIRA Foundation USA, Pinehurst, NC, USA
Our son received a guide dog from Mira USA one year ago. His dog has changed his life. Our hope was that his dog would aid in his navigating the campus of his High School as a freshman. The reality is, his dog has given him that and so much more. Our son is more confident, he is more approachable by his peers and he is incredibly more independent. I cannot express how grateful we are for this remarkable dog and wonderful organization. They are truly changing lives and we will forever feel that they are family to us.

I got the fabric from Hancock's. I like it better than the felt or even just a light weight cotton…it's a pretty heavy denim and I'm hoping it will last for a long time (or at least until I have a girl–maybe this one?)

Granny putting her church hat on and climbing up on top of her soap box to take a few minutes to straighten out a few things. Y'all bear with me for a second.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." A ravenous wolf is a person that preys on the gullible to feed their greed and who hides malicious intent under the guise of kindliness.
A party that caters to the rich and could care less about the poor and downtrodden (oppressed) does not exactly line up with the word. That's all I'm gone say and I'm getting down off my soap box.
Can someone please tell me why Republicans think that they have to insult or disparage black people in order to gain votes in
"I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."~~Rick Santorum~~
So, does that mean that he wants black people to work for free?
Does that mean that he is going to create more jobs in America, by bringing back all the American Companies from China, Japan, Mexico, Haiti, Indonesia, wherever these companies have gone? The biggest handouts in history were the Homestead Act, GI Bill, which were all exclusively programs for whites, and that includes the "FDR New Deal" too. However, now America gives the biggest handouts to Corporations in the form of welfare.
Yup! Do they seriously think that will get the black vote? Methink not, unless they are a Uncle Tom or are demon possessed with self-hate. Smh! The Republicans might as well hold their campaigns at Klan rallies. Nevertheless, I hate to break this news to Santorum, but being poor and on welfare crosses all color lines in America, blacks are not the majority of welfare recipients, poor people and I'm sure that ALL poor Americans would appreciate a job.
Lately, I've been hearing the Republicans and that one half Republican/half Libertarian Paul claiming that President Obama is responsible for excessive expensive entitlements meaning Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. I am convinced now that the Republicans and that half Republican/half Libertarian need mental therapy. Yup, they've made a believer out of me that they have truly lost it.
Or do they have suffer from a mental block because I could have swore that FDR and Johnson signed those entitlements into law. Nonetheless, it would be interesting to hear the Republican's version of how President Obama is responsible for acts that two Presidents in the past signed into law. I bet it's a doosies.
And they wonder why minorities never vote for them.

Las Vegas, NV, --(PR.com)-- As co-owner of an ActionCOACH business coaching firm in Miami, Florida, Mr. Barra has been helping the owners of small and medium sized businesses in the key areas of time, team, money and marketing.
Having recently acquired the executive coaching certification from ActionCOACH – the world's leader in business coaching – Mr. Barra has stepped up his coaching business as part of the company's first executive coaching training class for North America.
"I think Executive Coaching is a natural expansion for our business," he said.
Mr. Barra feels that an outsider's vision is critical in today's fast-paced world of business.
"If you are not growing, you are dying, and the only way you can continue to grow is with the help of others," he said. "It's always best to have the vision of an outsider and Executive Coaches bring just that."
Mr. Barra believes executive coaching can greatly enhance and improve business performance.
"For executive coaching the scope of influence is larger," he said. "There are many more tools that come into play for executive coaching that can positively impact an organization and career."
As part of his strategic plan, Mr. Barra will be targeting opportunities in the medical and financial markets. Eventually, along with his team, he will venture into multinational corporations with head offices in Miami.
Mr. Barra believes that as the leader in the category, ActionCOACH's diversification into executive coaching will be nothing short of "explosive." "I only hope enough of our exceptional coaches see the opportunity and get onto the team so we can support the incredible growth we are about to experience," he said.
Recipient of the ActionMAN award along with wife and business partner in their first year as Business Coaches, Mr. Barra was also named finalist for the Associate Coach of the Year and Most Improved Coach of the Year awards.
ActionCOACH is the world's number one business coaching and executive coaching firm, with more than 1,000 offices in 26 countries.

ROCKAWAY, NJ -- Full Service Vending said that Coca Cola Enterprises has agreed to pay Full Service a "six figure" settlement to resolve a six-count complaint it filed against the bottler, primarily for breach of contract.
Full Service said it entered a contract with CCE that established the price it would pay the bottler per case, provided it met a minimum volume requirement. Full Service exceeded the established volume requirements, but CCE raised its case cost and refused to sell the operating company beverages at the contractually agreed-upon price, the complaint alleged.
The original lawsuit was filed in a Morris County, NJ, court in March 2006 and advanced to the federal level shortly thereafter. Full Service said the settlement came about after numerous unsuccessful court-mandated settlement conferences over the past two years. John A. Stone of DeCotiis FitzPatrick & Cole LLP (Teaneck, NJ) represented the operator.
"We consider this a great victory for vending companies nationwide," said Full Service president Moti Almakias. "Hopefully, bottlers will think twice about the way they treat companies that work so hard selling their products. I really think CCE didn't want to see this played out in court."
Full Service Vending, founded in 1955, is a division of the Full Service Foods Group, which also operates Coffee Express, Café on the Go, Milk Express and Arctic Chill Ice Cream. It operates in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

The latest member of the 6,000-yard club is more concerned with team goals than personal goals.
Anthony Calvillo became only the fourth quarterback in Canadian Football League history last night to pass for 6,000 yards in the Montreal Alouettes' 58-20 victory over the Argos.
Calvillo needed 313 to reach the plateau and passed for 354 before exiting in the fourth quarter.
"It wasn't a major goal of mine to reach 6,000," Calvillo said. "I know (head coach Don Matthews) had predicted that (before the start of the season). It wasn't that important to me. The most important thing was to make sure we were playing well going into the playoffs at this point in the year."
The Als overcame a three-game losing streak to conclude the regular season with two emphatic wins. They will play host in the Eastern final on Nov. 14 to the winner of next Friday's Eastern semi-final between the Argos and Hamilton at the SkyDome.
"It's great to set records and do a lot of things, but we still have some unfinished business and that's to win the Grey Cup," Calvillo added. "We've still got a few more games ahead of us."
If the Als end up playing the Argos in the Eastern final, Calvillo said last night's game will basically be meaningless from a schematic point of view.
"It's not even close to what they're going to be showing," he said. "It wouldn't even be worth us watching this game to prepare if we see them again because it's nothing what they do. We realize that and we know the guys they weren't playing were some big-time players. You look at what they did over the 17 games. They stopped a lot of people, so we know this is not their team."
Not that Calvillo was disappointed.
"We put up 58 points, we're excited about that," he said.
Calvillo said he will welcome the rest the team will enjoy before beginning preparations for the final.
"My body is going to enjoy a whole week off," he said. "As you get older you start to appreciate (that). We had a short week and my legs and my back were really tight coming into the game. For the veterans and I'm sure for these young guys they'll realize how important it is to get that bye week because all you have to do is win one game to get to the Grey Cup."

Maybe Avis shouldn't try so hard after all.
Shares in Avis Budget Group (NASDAQ:CAR[1]) — the nation's third-largest car-rental company after privately held Enterprise and Hertz (NYSE:HTZ[2]) — are burning rubber. So why make a big acquisition for a perennially unprofitable business now?
Avis said Monday it would buy Zipcar (NASDAQ:ZIP[3]), the fast-growing car-sharing and hourly rental business, for $491 million[4].
Yes, the move helps Avis play catch-up with its bigger competitors — especially after Hertz won the battle to buy Dollar Thrifty for $2.6 billion in August[5]. Meanwhile, Enterprise went big into the car-sharing business after buying Mint Cars On-Demand and PhillyCarShare last year.
"We see car sharing as highly complementary to traditional car rental, with rapid growth potential and representing a scalable opportunity for us as a combined company," Avis CEO Ronald Nelson said in a media release.
Well, fine. But as fast as Zipcar has grown — from revenue of just $58 million in fiscal 2007 to $242 million in 2011 — it has never posted a net profit since being founded more than a decade ago.
At the same time, before Avis' offer — a whopping 49% premium to the most recent closing price — Zipcar's stock had lost 70% since going public in April 2011.
So, yeah, it's great news for Zipcar shareholders. But what about Avis?
Well, the fast-growing but always unprofitable car-sharing service could just have Avis spinning its wheels.
Despite being lapped in market share, it's not as if things are going badly for Avis' stock. Shares are up 92% in the past 52 weeks versus a 16% gain for the S&P 500. Hertz is up 43% during the same span.
True, as we noted after Hertz bought Dollar Thrifty, consolidation has been the name of the game[6] in the rental-car industry for the better part of a decade. There used to be nine big independent names — now there are just three. And since Enterprise is privately held, only Hertz and Avis offer traders and investors a way to bet on this sector of the travel business.
At the same time, Hertz's big acquisition pushed Avis into the No. 3 position, leaving it trailing the pack by a stretch. Enterprise, with 38% of the U.S. market, is by far the biggest player. After adding in Dollar Thrifty, Hertz jumped to almost 24% market share from 18.9%. Avis, formerly neck-and-neck with Hertz, now lags behind at about 18.5% market share.
But the Zipcar deal looks more like a tack-on play at this point — with plenty of risk, to boot. Avis expects to find annual savings in the deal of $50 million to $70 million. (It better, because Zipcar lost a total of about $26 million from fiscal 2009 to 2011.) Meanwhile, the acquisition is forecast to add to Avis' earnings on an adjusted basis in the second year after the deal closes — so sometime in 2015.
So the "rapid growth potential"? Maybe not.
Really big growth will come from an increase in business and leisure travel, and that's more dependent on stronger economic growth — not buying what's essentially still an unprofitable niche player.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold positions in any of the aforementioned securities.

Isringhausen fires strikes in debut
Isringhausen fires strikes in debut
Yes, Isringhausen was facing a bases-loaded situation just three batters into his 2007 spring debut. But this wasn't fasten-your-seatbelts Izzy from 2006. It was just a pitcher throwing strikes and watching his opponent place a few balls perfectly.
Overall, Isringhausen turned in a solid performance in his first game following hip surgery last September. He allowed two infield hits and struck out a batter in one inning, throwing 16 pitches -- 14 of them for strikes.
"I was able to pitch," Isringhausen said. "I got in a jam and I was able to make some decent pitches when I needed to, so all in all a good day."
The first three hitters to face Isringhausen all reached base, but it was scarcely the right-hander's fault. And once he loaded the sacks, he retired the side, getting through his first inning of the year without a run crossing the plate.
Isringhausen was St. Louis' starting pitcher against the Dodgers in the Grapefruit League contest. He had not pitched in a game since Sept. 6 of last year.
A great deal hinges on a healthy and effective Isringhausen in St. Louis. The assumption that he will be ready helped drive the decision to put Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper in the starting rotation. In Isringhausen's absence, there is no obvious candidate to pitch the ends of games.
"He is a key cog in the wheel," said pitching coach Dave Duncan.
The Cardinals closer fell behind leadoff hitter Tony Abreu, 2-1, before getting back to 2-2. And he didn't throw another ball.
Abreu hit a comebacker that neither Isringhausen nor catcher Yadier Molina could turn into an out, and Isringhausen was charged with an error. Juan Pierre singled softly to left, past third baseman Scott Rolen, who was playing in to defend against a possible bunt. James Loney hit a chopper for an infield hit, loading the bases without a ball leaving the infield.

And that was all the Dodgers got against him. Isringhausen got ahead of Andy La Roche with an 0-2 count before La Roche popped up to second base. Andre Ethier struck out looking on an 0-2 cutter, and Matt Kemp lined out to left on his first pitch.
"A comebacker and a couple of bleeding things here and there, but at least I'm not walking them to put them on," Isringhausen said. "I did that a lot last year. So I'm happy with making them put the ball in play."
His teammates were happy to see him pitching at all.
"He's overcome a lot," said Wainwright, who closed in Isringhausen's absence in the 2006 postseason. "Nobody knows how bad he was hurting last year, except for him. We could all see it last year, and we can also see this year the difference in his stuff when he's healthy. He is just unbelievably nasty. So we are as a team excited to see him out there because he's going to help a lot. He's a big part of our team."
Isringhausen's next outing is scheduled for Sunday at home against the Mets.

Final paper
please write in High school level like "The reflection paper is about what happened during class. When it started, the teacher asked if we read the article that is called What Students Really Need to Hear. Some of us gave a summary or view that in general a teacher cares for his students as he encourages them to work harder to have a successful life, instead of quitting class. It means to me a lot since it's related to the internship which makes it serious work and will show a good impression on the person's resume. The internship helps people learn how to work in the right way. The Workforce Recruitment Program or WRP works on proving all the companies that college deaf students can work with their abilities and many of them get job opportunities throughout WRP. A network and technology may be powerful because it helps us connect with other companies which helps us get a job any place over the world, although a brownie is to tend to follow other people instead of your own opinion, it might make people in a work place to be honored and trusted as a good team. I am concerned about the brownie. It may not be a good idea--I don't like it because I believe in my peaceful opinion so that we can discuss to solve a problem."

The pigeon had something to do with it all xD
Oh, Tyrande. How many times have the Horde killed you while I laughed at your misfortune in trade chat. Nobody likes Darnassus.
So it was a set-up?Tyranade died than some druids or whatever turned her in to a pigeon so she could restore balance? Epic :)
I like the fact that Tyrande is the most powerful of all the racial leaders ((in lore anyway)) becuase she can literally call the power of a god down on her attackers.

By: Luana Mattos, Guest Blogger
Fame comes with a price, but sometimes it also comes with a priceless opportunity to help people; this is what Jillian Rose Reed (one of the female leads on the MTV series Awkward) is doing. She is using her fame as a platform to reach out young people to talk about important issues, such as eating disorders and diabetes. She is currently the official celebrity spokesperson and producer of Breaking The Chains, and she is a passionate spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association Los Angeles Chapter.

1. Could you tell us a little bit about Breaking The Chains campaign?
Breaking the Chains is a campaign focused on changing the face of eating disorders. This is a disease that has been kept in a dark, shame-based place for so long...and we want to shed positive light on it. Give people a chance to see that they CAN recover.
2. What motivated you to join Breaking The Chains? Have you or someone close to you experienced this disease?
A big part of my motivation is my fans. I have a lot of super young followers, and if I can be a source of positivity in their lives, then I'm doing my job. I have never experienced an eating disorder per se but, being in the entertainment industry, I understand the pressure that comes with the job. I've seen the struggles that people go through, and I've been close to people who have struggled.
3. I like the idea of changing the face of eating disorders because it's not just about being skinny. I had an eating disorder when I was 13 and it wasn't about getting thinner, it was my way to grieve my brother's death and it was about having control of something since I couldn't control the pain I was feeling. So, Jillian, in your opinion what can we do to change the way people see eating disorders?
First of all, I'm so sorry for the pain you've experienced. That being said, you hit the nail on the head. Eating disorders are not about what someone looks like on the outside...they're about what they feel on the inside! We can change this by ending the clinical explanations, the pictures of the skinny girls, and the shame. We are shedding light on this topic by using art!! Music, pictures, drawings, color! Beautiful things. Things that make people feel inspired!
4. I heard that BTC's short film, Finding Alice has received two Awards of Merit in "The Best Shorts Film Competition", congratulations on that! Could you tell us a little bit about this project?
Thank you! We're so excited! Finding Alice came about almost accidentally. I did a photoshoot with some of the other actors and, after looking at the pictures, our executive producers realized we were telling a beautiful story. We created Finding Alice to help…to explain this disease in a different way. We're hoping to release it, place it in treatment centers, and hopefully have it touch people who are suffering.
5. I know that you're a spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association - How and why did you get involved with ADA?
I'm thrilled to announce that I've taken my involvement one step further, and am now on the Celebrity Cabinet for the ADA! My whole family got involved with the ADA when I was young. My older brother was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 18, and this was our go to platform for everything we needed to know.
6. November is Diabetes Awareness Month - what do you believe we can do to raise awareness on this disease among young people?
Get involved! See what kind of events the American Diabetes Association is doing in your area and take part. To raise awareness, we need to be educated. Stay active and live a healthy lifestyle!
7. After all the experiences in your life what would tell your sixteen-year-old self?
I would tell her to stop being so dramatic, not everything is as serious as you make it seem when you're 16. Then again, I should tell my 22 year-old self that too. I would also congratulate her on being comfortable enough in her own skin to wear sweatpants to high school...sweatpants rock.
8. For many reasons you are certainly THAT GIRL, but who is THAT GIRL in your life? Who's your biggest female influence and why?
I have a few. My mom and my grandma are my best friends; they're two extremely strong women who I can look up to. I'm also extremely influenced by my cast mate and one of my best friends Nikki DeLoach. She's a fantastic friend, woman, mother, and actress.
9. You're living your dreams, and it's inspiring to see the sparkle in your eyes when you talk about what you do. What advice would you give to the girls that also want to pursue an artistic career?
I would tell them that if they want to do this with every bone in their body...then don't give up. It's a hard career to have, and it demands a lot from you, but if you stick to something you'll get it!

I have a Dell Dimension 8300. Prior to my current problem, when I tried to power the unit up I got a solid amber power button light with no diagnostic lights at all. I replaced the power supply with a 350w Kentech micro-atx . I replaced the motherboard with a Dell W2562 Dimension 8300 socket 478, as the old CPU was not seating properly. I updated the CPU to 3.4 Ghz.
Now when I hit the power button, I get cpu fan working, power supply fan working, green light on MB. Power light is flashing amber and no diagnostic lights whatsoever. Any ideas?
You were very helpful because just today i was installing a 3rd disk drive and my computer suddenly shut-down and i couldn't turn it on. The power button was flashing Amber instead of staying solid green. It was the power supply. My PC couldn't handle 4 harddrives, a windows 8 operating system,38 GB of ram and 3 disk drives. Yes I did upgrade my computer. I added a second power supply and it worked perfectly. Thank you for the advice.
Have you tried reinstalling the *old* processor, to see if it makes a difference?
Have you checked that BIOS version A07 is installed, when Updated microcode for newer CPUs was added.The W2562 motherboard does support either Northwood, or Prescott processors, with a BIOS upgrade.
Edited, for content
If my answer was helpful, please use the 'Did this answer the question' and click: YesForum Member since 2001I am not employed by Dell
Thanks for your response. Tried the old processor with the same results. How do I check the bios version or for that matter install AO7 if if is needed if the PC will not boot?
Sorry, but I forgot to ask. You stated earlier that "A Socket 478, P4 3.4GHz processor will only work, if your 8300 motherboard was built after December 2003 and with a BIOS upgrade to version A07". Is there any way to tell when my mb was built by the SN??
Thanks for your response. Tried the old processor with the same results. How do I check the bios version or for that matter install AO7 if if is needed if the PC will not boot?
It's listed in the System Setup, see if you can enter it to check.
Turn on (or restart) your computer and when the blue DELL logo appears, press <F2> immediately.
My PC will not boot to that point. When I hit the power button, I get nothing on my monitor. Only the power button flashing yellow.
Sorry, but I forgot to ask. You stated earlier that "A Socket 478, P4 3.4GHz processor will only work, if your 8300 motherboard was built after December 2003 and with a BIOS upgrade to version A07". Is there any way to tell when my mb was built by the SN??
A blinking amber power button LED usually indicates a power supply problem, especially when none of the four diagnostic lights are not lite.
Did you connect both the 20-pin and the P2 4-pin power connectors to the motherboard?
Both connectors from the ps to the mb are in place. How do I find the sSpec number you mentioned? And yes the E520 would have been better and faster, but I need an "old" faster computer to run a specific type of program and hardware that I'm working with.
It's located on top of the processor
Thanks again for all of your help. The Sspec # is SL7E6.
The processor is compatible with the Dimension 8300.
All I can think of, that either the motherboard and/or the processor could be bad.
Where did you buy them from?
Are there any 'Beeps'?
As there are no diagnostic lights lite, you could try the following:
As the power supply is new, I'll asume it's a know working unit, first remove the power cord, hold the power button in for several seconds to discharge the residue power.Remove all the PCI cards, the video card [if applicable], memory, all peripherals, disconnect the data and power cables to all the drives, check that the front panel cable is connected to motherboard, with nothing else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on. If you do not get any beep codes and/or there is no change in the diagnostic lights, it would appear that the motherboard and/or the processor are dead.
Note: The only method I know of checking a checking a processor, is to install it a compatible working PC, or use a known working processor. Also, while the case is open, check the motherboard for any capacitors with bulging tops or are leaking, the tops should be perfectly flat.Bev.
Sorry this response is coming after so much time, but I have been out of town for a while. I did all of the above looking for the issue with no luck. There are no beeps, no diagnostic lights, no bulging capacitors etc. I got the PC from my cousins son and according to him the unit worked fine until he "borrowed" the video card for another computer. Once I got it I purchased a new video card, new memory, motherboard, CPU etc. After all that all I get is the flashing amber power light. Basically everything in the computer has been replaced with new parts. Is there anything else I could be missing? Is it possible the power switch is bad? Also since I installed the video card, I have of course not been able install any drivers etc as I've never been able to get it up and running. Any ideas would help. Thanks again, Steve
After reading your exchange in the forum and learning that you installed a new video board, I remembered a case where I was requested to specify a good upgrade video board for and old HP Media Center computer that I had cleaned and upgraded memory. I gave him the specs for a good new PCI-E board and he purchased one and installed it and could not get any video. From his description I suspect he could not even power up. When he went back to his original ATI X300SE video board all was well. I suspect that a video board for PCI-E2 will not function in a PCI-E1 slot. Therefore I would suggest removing the video board and try booting up. You may have to downgrade to a PCI-E1 video board or even a PCI version. This is my best suggestion since you have tried verything else.
This thread has been locked due to it's age, if you have a similar issue, please use the 'New Post' feature at the top of this page and start a new thread.Bev.

FORMER Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon has agreed to sign a two-year pay-as-you-play deal with Celtic.
Gordon, the former Scotland No 1, has not played first team football since April 2012 but has impressed Celtic's new manager Ronny Deila and goalkeeper coach Stevie Woods sufficiently to earn a deal.
The 31-year-old, who Sunderland paid a record-busting £9m to Hearts for in 2007, has been without a club for more than a year and has been hoping to work his way back in to Scottish football.
Loading article content
Gordon flies out to Celtic's Austria training camp this week to meet his new team-mates and there is a chance he could start the new campaign in goal if tentative interest from abroad in England goalkeeper Fraser Forster comes to anything.

ReviewI bought a brand new 2013 RAM 1500 and must admit that it was my first brand new purchase for a vehicle. I got a couple blocks away from the dealership when all of a sudden steam and smoke started pouring out from under the hood. I looked down at the temp guage and it was slightly below the red mark. I pulled over and popped the hood and found a rad hose not attached to engine. I called the dealership who sent a tech out to meet me (later found out that the hose is given a plastic peice at the factory to assit in assembly and it was never removed causing the hose to fall off under pressure). I spoke with the dealership and Chrysler Canada and was told too bad basically, your stuck with it.
Best FeaturesIpod control, seats, overall look of truck and MPG.
Worst FeaturesAfter more research I have learnt that there is a lot of people complaining of problems that seem to stem from poor quality at the manufacturing level. Everything from paint imperfections to my scenario, a lot of problems with the big screen radio units causing truck malfunctions.

text: Hi, just update of progress. Had the Audi A3 for around 7 months and have covered 19,000miles so it was due its first service. Went to the local Audi dealer where I have to say it was a good experience. I noted to the service lady that the brake discs had gone rusty and was not a good standard for a 7 ish month old car from new.... not something i had experienced with mercedes or bmw...... at the same time it was noted the plastic wheel bolt covers were discolouring. I was asked where i was the car, i replied various and sometimes myself. I got use of an Audi A1 which backed up my thought it was an expensive VW polo, the build quality and weight of controls is nowhere near the A3 model i use. The doors were superlight ....... but i did like the centre console layout with flip screen. Anyway all was good on collection of the A3, the bolt covers (replaced) and discs (painted) had been sorted and the service carried out. New wipers also fitted. So far its all good news as i am new to the Audi product. Will keep you updated....... just wish the mpg was slightly better!

In a career spanning more than half a century, Oscar Peterson has performed and recorded with more jazz legends than perhaps any other keyboardist alive. Though Peterson suffered a stroke several years ago, in 1994 he swung back into action during a historic comeback performance at Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, where he appears again June 12.
From his home outside Toronto, the 73-year-old Canadian pianist recently reminisced about several jazz masters:
Ella Fitzgerald, singer: "I think mainly Ella went on stage nervous at all times. No matter where the show was, no matter how many times she had played there, she was a bundle of nerves before she went on.
