As teachers and other newbies begin piling into Cairo, I was told a story of one unfortunate Canadian teacher that I thought I should share just in case anyone NEW is reading this.
I know that not everyone moving to Cairo is a teacher, but for the most part, a great deal of newcomers are. And for some of you this is your first job out of university and/or first posting overseas. It's unfortunate that the international schools do not provide new teachers a better reference guide or even valid contacts to give you the good, bad and the ugly of what to expect. I've seen some of these lists as to provide suggestions on what to bring. From some other teachers I know, apparently any tool that you use in the classroom that you feel pertinent, you should bring it. You are responsible for supplying your classroom – even getting the materials to do your bulletin board. And for a newcomer, we don't have Hobby Lobby and getting valid materials can prove a difficult task if you don't have help.
You're going to get off the plane and be amazed at what you see – I mean, you thought donkeys running alongside cars was really like Yankees thinking that all Southerners still lack indoor plumbing – just a joke right? Wrong.
You get to your apartment and you say to yourself, "Hmmm, well, I thought it was going to look worse. This is totally doable." Then you realize anything and everything falls apart with YOU, the tenant, expected to fix it – NOT the landlord and/or school (different schools have different policies).
However, probably the biggest warning I can give is to prepare yourself to see poverty like you've never seen. You do get desensitized after a bit, but for those North Americans out there (including Canadians), here's a word of caution that I strongly urge you to exercise:
You will be bombarded by children coming up to you, trying to take whatever you have out of your hands, begging for money, etc. And sometimes these little ones are cute and full of personality. Alternately, you'll see the women in black hijabs and abayas with lifeless babies in tow. Do NOT give money. If you want, give food, but let me explain where this money goes:
First of all, as I've mentioned in one of my beginning blog entries, many of these women drug their babies to look lifeless so that you give them more pity and likewise, more money. Ever see Slumdog Millionaire when the little children get acid poured into their eyes – why? Because a blind street singer makes more money than one who can see.
Second, the children are usually a part of these gangs that are either run by adults or older teens who have worked their way up the ranks. You give money to the cute, little kids and then the older person just takes it away for their own use. It never stays with the children. Don't be fooled.
Now, onto the story of one Canadian's short-lived Egyptian experience. This guy lands and not used to seeing such poverty, began giving LE 5 to every child he saw. Hey, I get it, it is really depressing at first and I'm even ashamed to admit that I'm so immune to it now. This school teacher went to pick up a few groceries at Seoudi market one day and all the children that he'd been so helpful to jumped him and took everything. And that's the Egypt that he will only know since he immediately left.
I have to be honest, if you move here and don't do your research then expect something to happen. Even if you do research your new digs, expect something to happen (although on a lesser scale). If you move here forgetting that it is a third world country, don't be shocked to see the poverty (in addition, a little thing called a revolution took place which has increased the poverty levels and anyone coming from an educated background could have anticipated that).
I know that you want to see the good in everyone and think that you're really making a difference, but if you REALLY want to make a difference, I strongly suggest that you purchase books. However, be mindful that these street children are most likely illiterate, so try to educate in other ways. The sad thing is once you give someone something, they are mostly unappreciative and instead of just saying thanks – they actually ask for more. A friend of mine gave his bowab (doorman) all his old clothes that he no longer wore. The bowab took the items and then came back the next day and said, "I need a pair of shoes too." I guess that saying, "Beggars can't be choosers" completely bypassed Egypt.
It's going to take you awhile to get used to the culture and remember, you aren't moving here to change a country. However, you can pick one thing that you would like to do and stick to it. My thing was to teach the kids around my office how to treat the stray dogs in the area. I also began getting books for a special little girl that I love with all my heart. I wish I would've thought of it sooner, but I suppose better late than never. If you do decide to opt for books remember to stay away from religion and politics. Also, remember what reading level an eight-year old is in your country and understand that eight-year olds here are less likely to be on the same reading level. I can't read Arabic so I had a friend help find an appropriate book that would at least allow me to gauge the girl's reading level.
You're a guest and as a guest, appreciate what Egypt has to offer. Yes, it will offer a great deal of frustrations, but it will also offer so many stories and experiences that you'll be telling the grandkids one day.

Super Bowl 2011: Delightful Anticipation and the Agony of Impatiently WaitingJanuary 31, 2011
The Green Bay Packers have left the building...
Yes, friends, it came to my attention today that the Green Bay Packers left the State of Wisconsin in order to go to Dallas for the Super Bowl. While I knew this was going to happen, and while I have also been eagerly anticipating this for the past few weeks, I am also aware that this means that we are one step closer to the Super Bowl. And one step closer to the 2010 football season ending.
So I have taken it upon myself, after some prodding by friends, family and comments, to give you some friendly reminders on how to pass the time prior to the Super Bowl and also after the season has ended. This list is by no means all encompassing, however, and additions may be added at a later date and time. Additionally, this list is not endorsed by the Bleacher Report or this writer for that matter. I am just offering helpful hints on how to pass the time.
Let's begin, shall we?
1) Perfect shaving whatever letter you are in "GO PACK GO" in your chest and/or back fur. This is a cheap, yet meaningful, way to spend time with your loved ones. Fellas, grab your favorite lady friend and have her assist you with shaving the hard-to-reach areas. Get a bunch of your buddies together and relive your glory days, or the last Packer game you attended. It is almost a guarantee that someone will mention chest hair, often to hilarious laughter all around.
However, if you plan to attempt this with your buddies, and one person is going to be shaving everyone, make sure that 1) the person shaving the group has not consumed more than 10 beers prior to conducting this experiment. This will reduce unnecessary bleeding and unexplainable nipple amputations. The people being shaved may consume as much alcohol as deemed necessary to make it through this potentially painful experience. 2) The person who is completing the shaving can spell. Nobody wants to see "Gee Pats, gee!" This could be a painful reminder to Patriots fans that they lost in the playoffs. As I am sure that they are still smarting from the loss, this could additionally result in nipple amputation. 3) All involved parties are aware that once the Lady Daisy razor comes out, head shaving may be involved. Do not attempt this prior to a wedding or family picture. Your lady friend will not be happy. 4) All involved parties can stand together to spell the words correctly. This is imperative.
Upon effectively completing this task, you are ready to go to Lambeau next year. If you have not effectively completed this task, you will have to schedule a re-do once the stitches come out or your chest and/or back fur grows back in. Depending on your fur growing capability, this could be days, weeks or months. Consider this when attempting this task. Ladies, you may not be eligible to participate in this event.
2) Super glue your fingers together, and not for any other reason than you want to. As I have stated, I live in Wisconsin. Green Bay has the nickname "The Frozen Tundra" for a reason, you know. It is cold. It is snowing RIGHT NOW and will continue to snow until at least MARCH. And the people of Wisconsin are threatening to leave the sanctity of the frozen tundra for warmer climates. Unless you want us to break out of the borders to pursue warmer climates, you may need to give us a distraction. Thus, the Super Bowl. Thanks, Dallas and the Bears.
Back to the Super Glue: Since it is so cold and snowy, the majority of the conversations in Wisconsin begin with, "I hate winter and/or snow." One of the main reasons for this is that the cold sucks all the moisture out of your skin, to the point that Wisconsinites are former shells of themselves when springtime finally shows up in this blessed state. Short of laying out a Slip and Slide, slathering it down with lotion and going for a ride, it has been determined that we must moisturize.
I do have a point, trust me.
In order to lock in moisture, some of my beloved family members, who shall remain nameless to protect their identities, have taken it upon themselves to put Super Glue on what remains of their cracked, dry hands. While this does not seem as fun as the Slip and Slide idea, it does, occasionally, have hysterical consequences. Ever seen someone super glued to their dog's leash? I have.
It is in your best interest to do this when you ABSOLUTELY KNOW you have nothing else that needs to be done, at least for one minute or so. Do not attempt to go to the bathroom after performing this amazing feat. Did you not read about the dog's leash? You see where I'm heading with this one.
3) Watch the evening news. Seriously, it's a good thing to know what is going on in the world. For example, did you know that a poll was taken showing that Miley Cyrus was the worst role model for kids?
On second thought, don't watch the news. Save your brain for the next idea.
4) Make snotty, sarcastic comments on your favorite social networking site. Try to humor yourself by posting as many annoying Packers facts on your favorite Vikings fan's wall. Not only can you take out your aggressions over the whole Brett Favre thing, but you can rub in the fact that the Packers are going to the Super Bowl. You may also instigate comment wars on any other football fan's wall. The picture floating around on the Internet of the hospital in Pittsburgh that is wrapping their newborn babies in Terrible Towels? Yeah, I commented on that one. Hilarity ensued and a good time was had by all.
5) Mentor youth in your neighborhood/community. If you are going to do this, you must remain sober, however, so this option may not be for everyone. If you are going to be a fan of the Green Bay Packers, you must share this with the younger crowd. Why, I have seen kids who have never been out of the great State of Wisconsin wearing Michael Vick jerseys! The travesty! The injustice!
Don't let this be your kid, or your neighbor's kid, either. This must be stopped. Thus, the need for mentors.
Well, friends, I have given you a start on how to address your boredom. If you can think of anything else, I am waiting patiently...After all, there's no football on... And the Slip and Slide is packed away, in the shed, outside, in about six feet of snow.

I often hear people say that when it comes to cultural events, there aren't enough things to do in and around Perry County. That's true to some degree. We are a rural community so we don't draw celebrities for concerts and larger museums, orchestras and galleries are naturally centered in larger cities.

Broadband service has become increasingly necessary to access the full range of services and opportunities that the Internet can offer. This session, I have introduced legislation that seeks ways to expand affordable and reliable broadband service to rural parts of Indiana that currently have limited access, if any at all.

Film Review
This past year I kind of gave up on reviewing movies – took a bit of a hiatus from March to about August. This was partly due to being a bit bored with the process and because not many movies had been released that truly excited me.
One movie really brought me out of that funk ("Snowpiercer") and made me realize that 2014 was a pretty great year for movies. Here are my top-10 picks and a few honorable mentions that, if I was in a different mood, might have been in my top ten.
Lee Hamilton
Center for Congress
It may not be obvious from the news coverage, but a good bit of Congress's 2015 agenda just landed on Capitol Hill with a thud. I mean this literally. The federal budget that President Obama recently submitted runs to 2,000 pages.

Once again, farmland assessments and property taxes are going up. The Department of Local Government Finance, which oversees the property tax in Indiana, has set the base rate per acre of farmland for 2015 taxes at $2,050 per acre. That's a 16 percent increase from the base rate for 2014 taxes. In December the DLGF announced the base rate for 2016 at $2,420, another 18 percent increase.
The base rate has been rising for years. But, this year, it's a hot topic in the General Assembly.

We just returned from Taylorsville, Ky., and on the drive home, Andy remarked, "Wow, we have passed four dead skunks!" We don't see them on the farm as much as we used to because of the dogs, although I have been getting whiffs of them for about a week now. The lightbulb moment: it is mating season for skunks and they are on the move.

There was a mystery at the Adkins house a few years back. It was a full-scale whodunit that would have kept Sherlock Holmes and Perry Mason up all night scratching their heads. I call it "The Case of the Missing Finch."
It all began a year earlier when my wife's sister gave us her two pet birds. My sister-in-law had just given birth to three children in rapid-fire succession and didn't have time to care for the kids, a house, the birds and a career all at once.
I dropped by a small roadside restaurant while traveling in France several years ago. While the liverwurst and blood sausage were worth writing about, memories of a chubby grandma and her bubble-blowing granddaughter will never be forgotten.

Cougars place first in five events, Thomas posts fastest 100-200 times
If there was a sign of Crenshaw's dominance at the City Section track-and-field preliminaries Thursday at Birmingham High School, one needs to only look at their clean sweep in their 100 meter heats.
DeAnthony Thomas (10.69 seconds) , Gregory Ducre (10.90) and Jonathan Downard (10.94) won their heats in convincing fashion as the Cougars led the way in five events, with Thomas playing a dominant role in four of them.
In addition to the 100, the speedy sophomore posted the fastest time in the 200 (21.71 – tied with Santee's Tevin Carter) and anchored the 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay squads to victories in their heats (41.36 and 3:22.76)
"We're just trying to win City and we set the tone in the 4 x 100,†Thomas said excitedly. Their time was only .01 of their league-winning time of 41.35, which ranks fourth in the state.
He admitted that he had to get used to the track again – the place where he finished third and second in the 100 and 200, respectively, last year as a freshman – but his performance in each heat seemed effortless as won in convincing fashion.
Senior Moriah Johnson qualified in the high jump (six feet) and will enter next week's championships as the favorite with his league-winning height of 6-6.
Never content in their rivals' shadow, defending boys champion Dorsey made quite a bit noise as senior Jeremy Harris won his heats in the 110 (14.67) and 300 hurdles (38.87), finishing directly behind Taft's D.J. Morgan in both events. His 300 time was a personal best.
"I was trying to go for it,†Harris said of his time. After finishing third in the 110 last year at City, he said that he's worked on getting his footing down and it's made a difference in improving his times.
Dorsey senior Christopher Clark won his 400 heat with the third-fastest time of the day (49.96) as Manual Arts senior Terrence Conway set the pace with a time of 49.17. The Dons also saw junior Khambrell Gomez set the pace in the shot put (48-5.5 inches)
On the girls' side, Washington Prep senior Danielle Thomas had an up-and-down day. She helped the Lady Generals to a personal best in the 4 x 100 relay (48.39) and won both of her heats in the 100 (12.48) and 200 (25.37).
In the last event of the day, the 4 x 400 relay, she struggled on the second leg as a result, the Generals had to fight to hold off Reseda to finish second in their heat (4:10.82), still qualifying for the finals
Thomas – who finished third in the 200 last year – said  she was battling shin splints throughout the day and they caught up to her during the relay.  It was something that happened last year at the City finals but she chose to focus on how to prepare for the 200 next week.
"I need to come out of the blocks better,†she said, something that came easier in the 100.
She had a simple mantra for the finals -"24's, 11's and 47's,†referring to her times in the 200, 100 and the 4 x 100 relay.
Crenshaw senior Xzanthnice Bourgeois placed second in the girls long jump (17-1) and teammate Doretta Rye finished second in the long jump (35-0)
The meet was halted near the end as L.A. Jordan sophomore Umeka Anderson collapsed during the last heat of the girls 4 x 400m relay. Anderson suffered what her coach called a mild panic attack during the third leg of the relay and was taken off the track in an ambulance as a precaution. She was expected to recover.
The finals will be held on May 28 at Birmingham High School with field events starting at 3 p.m. and running events at 5:30 p.m.

Senator Farley Reports On The Senate's State Budget Plan
My colleagues and I in the New York State Senate have been diligently going over the Executive budget proposal and are deeply concerned with several provisions, including the cuts to nursing homes and local hospitals. The Senate has passed its own budget -- a plan that will be fair to all New Yorkers.
When talking to constituents, I frequently hear concerns about high taxes, education and jobs. I have heard from people that they don't want services cut at their local hospitals, they don't want their school district shortchanged on State aid, they want greater property tax relief and they want a stronger economy.
Our plan redirects $1 billion in spending proposed in the current Executive budget to achieve the Senate's commitment to provide tax relief, prevent devastating health care cuts, provide appropriate aid to all school districts, invest in job creation and make college more affordable. Rather than taking more money from taxpayers for the government to spend, the Senate budget rejects new taxes and provides greater tax relief.
Highlights of the Senate's proposed State budget include providing more than $3 billion in tax relief, growing to $4.5 billion next year. The Senate tax cuts would deliver property tax relief on your school property taxes by tripling the size of rebate checks. In order to stimulate economic development and to promote the creation and retention of jobs, the Senate proposal would also reduce the tax burden on manufacturers and small businesses.
The Senate budget rejects health care cuts that put patients at risk, and it restores funds so that hospitals and nursing homes can hire more nurses. Our budget proposal also rejects increased health care taxes that would drive up costs.
The Senate budget would make higher education more affordable by expanding the eligibility for the State's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP); enhancing the tuition tax credit for families; establishing a student loan debt relief program; providing assistance to help veterans afford college tuition; and creating a math, science and engineering technology retention initiative for New York students.
We are moving forward on the budget with meetings of legislative conference committees. This represents a public process to resolve the differences between the budgets proposed by the Governor, Senate and the Assembly. As long as everyone involved is open and willing to negotiate and compromise, there is no reason we can't have a budget in place by April 1st.

Brockberg to attend National American Legion College
WORTHINGTON — Nobles County Veterans Service Officer Bill "Brock" Brockberg has been selected to attend the National American Legion College (NALC) Oct. 26 to Nov. 1 in Indianapolis, Ind. He was one of two Minnesota Legionnaires chosen from about 10,000 eligible members to attend the all-expense paid college.
Each year, the 55 Departments of the American Legion — one for every State and five overseas — may select an attendee to the NALC. This year, because class size permitted, Minnesota's American Legion is sending two student legionnaires.
In Minnesota there are about 90,000 members of the American Legion and about 3 million Legion members nationwide. NALC students are chosen by Legionnaires who served on active-duty after the Vietnam War, which is about 10 to 12 percent of the membership.
The NALC teaches the core values and contributions of the organization and prepares young Legionnaires for leadership positions in posts, districts and departments through education, development and motivation. The curriculum challenges student leaders to think critically and creatively about issues confronting the Legion.
Students review the American Legion's core values, develop new ideas and consider the future. An emphasis is placed on programs, management techniques and leadership skills necessary to increase visibility of programs, growth in membership, and public awareness of the Legion and its corresponding organizations.
Core subjects include mentoring, leadership styles and opportunities, time management, conflict resolution and legal issues.
Brockberg is starting his eighth continuous year of Legion membership with Michael-Boock Post 6 in Pipestone. He has served as Post First and Second Vice Commander, Commander, membership director and adjutant. At the district level, he has served as a Vice Commander, First Vice Commander and Commander. He has also served on district committees for public relations and veterans affairs and rehabilitation. Brockberg is now the secretary to the post development and revitalization committee for the Department of Minnesota.
Brockberg has been the Nobles County Veterans Service Officer for six years and is retired from the U.S. Army.

All quotes by Xavier Serra
(5 quotes found)
"The 'since you bought this artist, you might also want to buy this one, as other customers with a similar profile did' method is not that effective, however, because there may be similar songs out there but if they haven't been bought that much they won't appear as a recommendation."
"The technique represents a major advancement over the existing methods used by audio software. It improves the way users can organize, navigate and visualize audio files and how they can interact with music on their audio player, PC or the Internet."
"The music world is highly commercial and only the works of the biggest artists are really well known and widely promoted. Something like 10 per cent of music accounts for 90 per cent of music sales, while the remaining 90 per cent accounts for just 10 per cent of sales ? this system could therefore herald a revolution for little-known music and artists."
"Though we were originally planning to set up a spin-off company to exploit the project results, we're now looking to collaborate with other firms to introduce our technology into existing products and others that are still in development."
"The goal is to be able to have as complete a description of a piece of music as a human being can do. That's beyond the current state of our knowledge. But what we can do now is enough to develop music recommendation systems based partly or totally on the automatic generation of descriptors."

George Ryan will be released from prison five months early to participate in a work-release program in the West Loop. No one is saying yet what he'll be doing, but I have a great idea: Big George should serve the remainder of his sentence behind the counter of the Secretary of State's office in the basement of the James R. Thompson Center.
During his eight years as secretary of state -- eight years that were basically a waiting-period for the governorship -- I don't think Ryan ever got a chance to appreciate what it was like to actually work for his office. I don't remember an Undercover Boss episode with Ryan taking driver's license photos. Serving as a clerk in a Driver's Services branch has to be one of the most miserable white-collar jobs imaginable. The lines are long. There are too many forms to fill out. The cost of a license plate tag has more than doubled in the last 10 years, from $48 to $99. By the time most customers reach a window, they're in a foul mood. I don't know how anyone could work in that place without becoming a grouchy, surly misanthrope.
Ryan already is a grouchy, surly misanthrope, so the job wouldn't ruin his personality. Plus, placing him in an office where his picture once hung on the wall would add a few delicious humiliations to his sentence. First, he'd be working in a building named after a man he served as lieutenant governor. Jim Thompson spent 14 years as governor, and in all that time, he was never convicted of anything. Second, he'd be embarrassed every time a customer recognized him, and he'd feel forgotten every time a customer didn't. Ryan would also have to hold his tongue when someone slipped a $20 bill across the desk and cracked, "I'd also like a trucker's license."
In fact, I think it would have been fair if Ryan had served his entire six-and-a-half year sentence inside a Secretary of State's office.

Yesterday before the start of trading, Constellation Brands (STZ[1]), a large producer of alcoholic beverages, reported better-than-expected results for its first quarter. Although STZ stock rallied on the day and broke past technical resistance, it closed the day well off the intraday highs, thus flashing warning signs of buyer's exhaustion.
[2]More specifically, Constellation Brands earnings for Q1 came to $1.03 per share, and adjusted earnings of $1.07 easily beat analyst estimates of 93 cents. Meanwhile, revenues of $1.53 billion rocked by more than 130% thanks to the 2013 acquisition of Crown Imports Beer, and that figure trumped estimates of $1.23 billion. Operating margins improved about 1 percentage point to 26.5%.
In terms of the outlook, Constellation Brands raised its full-year 2015 earnings guidance from a previous range of $3.95 to $4.15 per share to a range of $4.10 to $4.25.
Consumer staples stocks, to which STZ belongs, have had a good run year-to-date, particularly if measured off the February lows. As U.S. economic growth decelerated this year, the typically defensive consumer staples sector took this chance to shine and push to new all-time highs.
On the daily chart, note that STZ stock broke past lateral resistance in mid-June, which in and of itself is bullish. However, Wednesday's intraday action is concerning, particularly if we also consider the aforementioned points on the multiyear chart above.
Near the open on Wednesday, STZ was up around 7% for the day, but the stock quickly reversed, rejecting these new all-time highs and closing the day up "just" 2.34%. Many momentum indicators including the Stochastics are showing negative divergence, which points to losing upside momentum in the stock.
Investors can use Wednesday's post-earnings rally to lock in some gains, while quicker traders could try shorting the stock against Wednesday's intraday highs near $94.75 for a mean-reversion move back toward the low $80s.

The US and Canada might have felt a little left out over the weekend, as leaders from Latin American and Caribbean nations formally launched a new bloc in the western hemisphere — one that doesn't include the two big powers.
The occasion? The struggling global economy, which the industrialized nations have managed to push to the brink of collapse.
The answer? Regional cooperation and integration, the states decided.
Per the AP:
"It seems it's a terminal, structural crisis of capitalism," Bolivian President Evo Morales said in a speech Saturday. "I feel we're meeting at a good moment to debate ... the great unity of the countries of America, without the United States."
The narrative works well for leaders like Morales and Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez, who have advocated a brand of Latin socialism that rejects the West's capitalist bent.
But the idea that the old Western powers no longer have all the answer has also been embraced by Brazil's Dilma Rousseff, the first woman president of that nation and leader of the region's most powerful economy. The US, and Europe, no longer dominate the conversation or have the clout to dictate terms. That's a point that Rousseff hasn't hesitated to make.
When the International Monetary Fund showed up in Latin America last week, it was with a begging bowl.
Latin America hasn't been dented as hard amid the global financial crisis. It grew about 5 percent last year and while that's been revised downward for this year, the region is still doing all right. Poverty is at a 20-year low.
At the summit over the weekend, the new 33-nation bloc was lauded by, who else? Chinese President Hu Jintao. In a letter, Hu said he'd deepen cooperation with the group. While the US remains a major trading partner, China's elbowing in, especially in Brazil and Chile, where it now trades more than the US.
Trade wasn't the only topic at hand. Delegates also discussed whether the militant antidrug efforts, largely funded and backed by the US, were the right approach. Colombia's Juan Manuel Santos brought that one up, of course. He's been pushing even to legalize cocaine, a move that the US thinks is absurd, but one that Mexico might at least tentatively back.
They also discussed climate change, which is basically an illegal topic of conversation in the US.
It's unclear how invested these nations will be in the new body, known as Celac, or Community of Latin American and Carribean States. But one thing is clear: the US isn't running this region anymore.

A Review on Security Issues in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks are set to become a truly pervasive technology that will affect the people daily lives in important ways. The authors cannot deploy such a critical technology, however, without first addressing the security and privacy research challenges to ensure that it does not turn against those whom it is meant to benefit. Other applications include climate sensing and control in office buildings and home environmental sensing systems for temperature, light, moisture, and motion. WSNs suffer from many constraints, including low computation capability, small memory, limited energy resources, susceptibility to physical capture, and the use of insecure wireless communication channels.

Pass the Crown : Virtual Holiday Gift Exchange… with Whisky
Ah yes, the Holiday gift exchange, there are many ways to do it. Some offices do the dreaded Secret Santa, but more sophisticated offices take their Secret Santa and turn it into Yankee Swap :
This holiday season, our friends at Crown Royal are taking the spirit of Yankee Swap and gift exchange a bit further… by giving out all of the presents! They've recruited Gunaxin, along with tons of other great sites to participate in a virtual gift exchange, with real stuff. Real. Good. Stuff.
They're calling it Pass the Crown, and you can follow the craziness on Twitter by watching the hashtag #PasstheCrown. On top of that, every time that hashtag is used, they will send a Crown Royal gift bag to a U.S. solider overseas through the Crown Royal Heroes Project.
During the holiday season, every site playing the game will receive an awesome gift from Crown Royal on a pre-designated day at 9am. The gift will be virtually wrapped in one of Crown Royal's iconic purple bags embroidered with a hint as to what's inside. Upon receipt, we each have until 4pm that day to decide if we want to open the bag to find out what's inside, or steal a gift already opened by a person before us – forcing them to take whatever was in our bag!
Yesterday was our turn, and with 16 gifts opened before us, we had an amazing list of items to choose from including the following that caught our attention :
- Crown Royal XR & Happy Hour – The Roosevelts
- iPad Mini – The Smoking Section
- Kindle Fire – Black Sports Online
- Digital Smokehouse – Proof 66
You may remember that last year we played the same game, and ended up stealing (and keeping) the bottle of Crown XR and hosted an awesome Happy Hour. So we decided we'd forgo the desire to acquire cool gadgets, and once again go for the steal of a bottle of Crown so we could host a happy hour. However this year we opted to snag a bottle of Crown Royal Black from Everyday Drinkers, and let our boys over at The Roosevelts hold on to their XR.
Before we decided to steal though, we were presented with an embroidered Crown Royal Bag as a clue, with the words "Know When to Dive In." We never really considered opening it, since we had our heart set on another bottle of Crown and a Happy Hour, but check out what was inside :
That's an amazing Citizen Eco-Dive Scuba Fin Sports Watch which is now proudly in the column of Everyday Drinkers. If you like the embroidery work on that Crown Royal bag, its available to adults (21+) on www.CrownRoyal.com for $9.95 and features a max of 40 characters – perfect for the person who says it short and sweet. Or, you can also personalize a Crown Royal bottle label – for free.

Last night the remaining eight teams of The Amazing Race 20 headed to Bavaria, the oldest state in Germany and certainly one of its most historic. For the entire hour, it looked as if the contestants had been dropped into a Grimm's fairy tale, only with more Travelocity Gnomes and a narrator from New Zealand.
Art and J.J., victors of the last two legs, got an early morning start on the trip to Bavaria. Once there, they had to wait for a Middle Earth-lookin' inn to open so they could grab the Travelocity Roaming Gnome that held their next clue.
By the time the inn cracked open its doors at 8:30 a.m., Dave and Rachel and Danny and Joey "Fitness" has already caught up to Team Border Patrol. But before addressing the next challenge choices, I'd like to make some important observations.
–Does Art always have a bandanna or cap on his head?
–Ralph has been divorced three times at age 36. That's almost something to brag about.
–Danny said the tongue sticking out of his panda hat is "kind of flirty." Only if you're trying to pick up ladies at an arts 'n' crafts fair.
–Mark opined that "We need the money worse than any team out there." That's probably true, which makes me sad because there's no way they're gonna win this. Although I love them.
Speaking of Bopper and Mark, they had a speed bump thrown their way since they came in last on the non-elimination round. The challenge: Yodel a tune to the satisfaction of a professional yodeler. The producers couldn't have picked a team better suited to this challenge.
The way these two pals tackled their penalty exemplified exactly why they're worth rooting for. Most teams would have approached the speed bump with exasperation or a sense of grim determination, but they just threw themselves into the yodeling task like it was a reward.
"We didn't have no choice but to have a ball," Mark said, and indeed they looked like they enjoyed yodeling as much as the pros. The expert didn't hold them to terribly strict standards, so before long they were on their way.
The first challenge was a choice between Fairy Tale or Champion Male. I'm kinda shocked it wasn't called "Fairy Tale or Hairy Male" given that the male champs were Bavarian beard-growers. I imagine being a pro in that discipline puts you at a level of respect between "fireman" and "Nobel Prize winner" in certain parts of Bavaria.
In Fairy Tale, teams had to follow a gingerbread trail to a woman in a witch costume standing in the freezing cold. She would judge the gingerbread house roofs they constructed using the bits they collected on the trail. Champion Male was indoors (meaning it was the better choice) and it required the teams to sculpt a champion beard-grower's whiskers into a ridiculous, ahem, I mean "award-winning," pattern.
The leading teams all went the hairier route. Rachel of Team Army took control while Dave explained why they picked that particular snowy white-haired dude: "We chose this gentleman because he looks like a jovial gentleman, he looks like Santa Claus." While its true that the Deutschlander in question did look affable, I'm guessing that had less to do with the Christmas spirit and more to do with the fact that all of these guys were drinking beer at nine in the morning while Americans toyed with their beards. Why wouldn't they be jovial?

Well, I have a high-schooler now.
Yes, readers, Maggie the Eldest is now Maggie the ninth grader. For those of you who have been following this column since she was a toddler, this is a gentle reminder that we have all grown older. I can't believe I have a full-blown teenager - who will be driving (heaven forbid) in two years.
Wasn't she a baby in a backpack like a week ago? Wasn't she that little toddler scribbling "words" across a reporter's notebook and proclaiming she was "Maggie from The Post?"
I'm sure many of you have had those moments where you look across the table and finally realize that your baby is no longer a baby - and you are no longer 25 years old. BIttersweet. I will never be able to mush her neck again. She'll never hop on my lap and jab me with her pointy elbows or crawl into my bed with her cold Saturday morning feet again.
Her hugs aren't as melty. They are more grown up and reserved. Sloppy kisses: gone. Ooey-gooey pancakes: a waistline killer not to be eaten. Besides, she can "make them herself" if she wants them.
Now her life is about Facebook and school and friends. Family is still important, but she has other things to do. Boys to meet. Mascara to layer. Miles to ride on her bike. And decisions to make. What high school will she go to? Which friend will she talk to today? Camping with the family or hanging out with her friends?
It's kind of amazing to sit back and watch this flower bloom and start to fend for herself. She's like a deer trying out her new legs - except instead of legs, she trying out new looks and new pathways. Is she the drama girl, the artist or the scientist? She paces back and forth in indecision as though one wrong move will alter her life forever. It probably won't (unless it's one of those decisions).
At 14 she doesn't realize that her life will twist and turn down several paths. Nothing is ever usually set in stone. This is the great time of life when you get to try on different faces until you find the one that fits. She'll get to discover just who Maggie the Eldest is. For some kids, it's easy. They were born with a strong, mapped-out identity and just knew what they wanted. For others, the search can last a lifetime.
My daughter is a searcher. She is a dreamer with a thousand dreams to fulfill and only a lifetime to live them. I love this age. I love the angst. I love the hope and the limitless paths teens seem to see in their lives. Opportunities are without boundaries and obstacles. She hasn't hurdled many roadblocks yet, so the pessimism of life hasn't set in to taper her ambition.
I have to say the thrill of this age and the hope of this age is almost as nice as a sloppy toddler kiss. Sometimes I feel so old as I watch her leap about the room and daydream about her future.
She and her sisters have been my future for so long. They've been what gets me up in the morning. They've been my job. Watching my Maggie grow up is indeed bittersweet. It is a fantastic metamorphosis, but at the same time, it's kind of like getting a post-dated pink slip.
In watching her jet off to high school, I am reminded that college is four years away. In four years, I'll have a sewing room instead of a fourth bedroom. My house will have a little less pitter patter - although by then I guess it will be a little less click-clack of high heels. Wow! We have quite an adventure ahead of us. I have to do a little self-searching myself as I prepare for a life with more freedom, and perhaps I can learn a little from my teenage daughter - like how to turn off the "what ifs" and how to just take a chance on this new adventure.
Life is boundless. All things are possible if you know how to dream and to act. Those are the things she says.
And here is what I say: You may be able to Botox your face, but you can't Botox your life. Time stands still only for those who never live.

Cabot Plans Microelectronics IPO
Post a comment
Cabot announced plans Thursday to launch an IPO of stock for about 15 percent of its microelectronics materials business among a number of initiatives aimed at boosting shareholder value. Cabot also said it would eliminate 250 jobs and cut $30 million to $35 million in annual costs from its core businesses to increase the overall financial performance of the company.
After an intensive review of its businesses, Cabot said its management decided an IPO will help make its microelectronic materials division move competitive. The division is the world's largest supplier of slurries for chemical mechanical (CMP) planarization. Earlier this month, Cabot jumped into the CMP pad business after months of product development.
Samuel Bodman, chairman and CEO of Boston-based Cabot, said the company's management team conducted an extensive review of its businesses in the past several months to identify areas for improved earnings and opportunities to increase shareholder value. A number of initiatives resulted from the review, including a cost-cutting program intended to save $30 million to $35 million in the fiscal 2000 year.
Also Thursday, Cabot reported results for the company's third fiscal quarter, ended June 30. The company's net income slipped to $22.4 million from $33.3 million in the quarter last year. However, the company said year-to-year improvements in earnings were recorded in the microelectronics materials business.

Unable to install device driver software
- Hi,
I have somewhat recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 but my problem occured after having Windows 7 for about a week. I am unable to use my wireless mouse as when I plug the sensor device into the usb port it recognizes it and attempts to install the driver software via searching for it on windows update, but it fails. I originally had it working with windows 7 for a while until one night I shut it down with windows updates to install, then the next morning it failed when I tried to connect the wireless device. It is a logitech wireless mouse that was originally part of a keyboard/mouse combo but I'm just using the mouse portion as I have a laptop now.
Here are the things I've done and some conclusions that I've come to:
- I have uninstalled,reboot,reinstalled and updated everything in my device manager
Including updating the BIOS and Motherboard chipsets
- I have tried to get the updates from windows update manullay and it still fails
- I have gone to HP's website and installed every update on their for my computer, although its fairly new, 08/09 so there were only a few things to update.
- I have done multiple system restores to try and set the computer back before the problem was occuring
- I have tried powering off the computer and removing the battery and power sources as a type of full restart to the computer with no effect.
- I have gone to logitechs website and downloaded the latest setpoint version which still didn't help the wireless mouse work, unless there are other options in the software that I don't know about, I could use some information on that.
- Finally I bought a new optical wireless mouse thinking that the problem might be its incompatibility with Windows 7 (even though it was working at one time) and the new wireless mouse had the same problem, plugged in the usb driver and the device software fails to install.
So the usb ports recognize the devices, as I have an external Harddrive that I attach via usb and that recognizes and works fine. I have also tried a flash drive that installs the software fine and works. My guess is that its not the usb ports directly but something with where windows installs the updates, I don't know if its been cluttered with stuff that it can't install anymore or what. But I am out of ideas and have searched all over the internet for answers.
Computer specs:
HP G60 Notebook
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-75 2.20 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G
BIOS: PhoenixBIOS 4.1 Release 6.1
Thanks for any help that you can give. I would attach my dxdiag file but there doesn't appear to be a way to attach files.
- Edited by Piney7 Saturday, January 09, 2010 7:56 PM Added more things that I've done.
- Hi,
All replies
to reset the windows updates see this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 as for attaching the files, upload them in the public folder at www.skydrive.com
MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message. By marking a post as Answered, or Helpful you help others find the answer faster.]
I tried that fix and it didn't work, I could try the aggressive approach (i did the default one). Here is a link to my public folder with my dxdiag file. Let me know if there is any other information that might be useful in solving this problem.
Hi Piney7
Have you try uninstalling the updates? By going to ctrl panel>under programs and features choose view install updates and uninstall from there since you mention the issue occurs after the updates. The other alternative is the do a reinstall of win 7 or try doing a repair
Ask the old saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it i suggest to leave it as it is if you're able to get it going, oh ya between i have a similar logitech wireless sensor, keyboard cum mouse and is working fine with xp, vista and win 7 but the only thing is that i didn't install any update
The problem is, I did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 so my recovery disks are of Windows Vista. And I'm not sure how the recovery partition works, does my recovery partition drive convert to the Windows 7 format when I upgraded or did it stay with the orginally pre-installed Vista format? Could you explain the process of doing a recovery from partition?

Video: Chemerinsky, Lawrence review a big Supreme Court term
Distinguished legal scholars Erwin Chemerinsky and Frederick Lawrence discuss the big rulings of the Supreme Court's 2013-2014 term, in a talk with the Anti-Defamation League's Civil Rights Director, Deborah Lauter.
The annual Supreme Court review took place at the National Constitution Center on July 8, 2014.
Chemerinsky and Lawrence spoke at length about clashes between the First Amendment and reproductive rights, prayer before legislative meetings, and state bans on affirmative action.
Chemerinsky noted that while Justice Anthony Kennedy was again the most influential Justice in the Court's majority decisions, more than 60 percent of the cases ended in unanimous decisions. He argued that the large number of unanimous decisions was an "anomaly" and the Justices still has their ideological differences.
Lawrence also remarked that the ideological split was "troublesome," particularly in the Town of Greece v. Galloway public prayer decision.
The Hobby Lobby decision also drew criticism from Chemerinsky, who saw the Court's decision as "opening the doors to a tremendous amount of litigation."
Lawrence argued that the Court's Hobby Lobby decision "gives rise to a whole set of cases with unintended consequences" that could ultimate limit some religious liberties.
And Chemerinsky also pointed out the historical significance of the Court's decisions in the cellphone privacy cases.
They also analyzed the 60th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that desegregated public schools.

AKRON — Midview has been hitting the ball with authority all season. Friday the Middies had a hard time just hitting the ball out of the infield.
Central Crossing sophomore Ally Gruen held Midview's prolific offense to four hits, all singles, as the Comets defeated the Middies 4-1 at the Akron Racers Spring Showcase at Firestone Stadium.
Midview (7-1) came back later in the night to beat Maysville 3-1.
But against Central Crossing, the Middies hit only two balls out of the infield and scored their only run in the third inning when junior Erin DiFranco reached base on an infield single, stole second and scored thanks to two wild pitches.
Senior third baseman Carlee Grunda was the only Midview player with two hits. Grunda just beat out an infield single in the second inning and led off the seventh with a line-drive single to center.
"(Gruen) wasn't anything really spectacular but she was just able to hit that outside corner all day," Grunda said. "My approach was to take one pitch at a time and just go with her pitches."
DiFranco's run gave Midview a 1-0 lead but Central Crossing tied the game an inning later on an RBI single off the bat of Abby Rhodes.
In the fifth inning, the Comets scored three runs as the first six batters reached base on four singles, a walk and an error. That was all the offense Central Crossing (4-6) needed.
Gruen, who struck out two and walked three, said playing at the site of the state championship helped get her ready for the game.
"Everything came together," she said. "My drop curve and change-up were working, my defense was awesome behind me and when I got here and saw the stadium I was really pumped and ready to pitch."
Even though Grunda's team came out on the losing end, she also enjoyed playing at Firestone Stadium.
"This is the best facility we've played in all year and that was probably the best team we've played all year," Grunda said.
Midview coach Mike Ives didn't like losing, he believes playing good competition from outside the area will prepare his team for the rigors of West Shore Conference and the postseason.
"The only way we're going to get better is by playing quality teams," Ives said. "Going out and beating poor teams isn't going to make us any better."
He was also pleased with his team's effort.
"It was a well-played game," he said. "There were not a lot of mistakes. Lauren (Landers) pitched well. It all came down to we couldn't get the big hit and in that one inning they were able to."
Senior shortstop Amanda Beursken had the Middies' other hit, a single to lead off the second inning.
"Ally did a good job of pitching today, keeping them off-balance and changing her speeds," Central Crossing coach Rona Dorsey said. "We play in a tough league in Columbus so our record might be a little bit deceiving, but this was one of the best all-around games we've played this season."

HERCULES Trailer Debuts, The Rock Teases DC Comics Movie Role
Son of Zeus. Lion of Olympus. The Rock. Yup, those are all names for Hercules, or at least will be this Summer if Paramount has their way. The first trailer debuted at Cinemacon, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson himself tweeting out the link early to his followers during a fan Q&A on twitter.
In addition to the trailer, Johnson had this to say about future DC Comics movie work, when asked by a fan who his favorites are and who he'd like to play.
"Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Black Adam are my fav superheroes, but GL's already been made and stamped."
That, along with earlier in the conversation saying, "Myself & DC have agreed on a character.. extremely complex, well known (but never played) and a pure BAD ASS MF;)" sure makes it sound like Black Adam is in The Rock's future. During a Cinemacon roundtable interview, he also said he had three rules he laid down with DC and WB about who he wanted to play.
"He had to be extremely complex and have a lot going on. What that does for me as an actor and for the studio is it just gives us space that we can explore. What that does, again as an actor, is that it gives me a little bit of space…it gives me a chance to put an imprint into his personality with the set of tools that I can bring to the table and put a very unique twist on his personality – but still pay homage to who he is. He had to be a badass MFer. And on Superman level of power where he can throw down. In those three qualities I'm happy we found that character and right now we're out to a lot of writers."
Keep revving those speculation engines.

Cold, Flu and Viral Infections Answer A32470
Welcome to e health forum.
Persistent nose blocks or nasopharyngeal infections are common in many individuals. The main risk factors in such cases include - malnourishment, Stress, nasopharngeal abnormalities (deviated âseptum, polyps), Allergy related conditions are also causes which can predispose a individual for ârecurrent infections. â
Using anti histamines (Benadryl) and anti inflammatory medications (Like Motrin or Tylenol)as needed can be very helpful to control the âsymptoms at the onset when you have them. Improving your nutrition and use of antioxidents ââ(vitamin C and Vit E) will also help you a lot, to strengthen your immunity.â
In case of severe symptoms, you may need to seek a doctors help, for prescription of antibiotics to âtreat infections, and to rule out any predisposing conditions, as mentioned above.

The EUR is trying to maintain the 1.2700 level as we begin the week. There will be anxious eyes watching the US retail sales numbers later this week, as well as earning's reports from Wal-Mart and Home Depot to see if there was any Hurricane Sandy impact to those figures. But before we get to that, the markets should have a eye on Europe, where Euro zone finance ministers will be meeting today and discussing the latest funds to be turned over to Greece.
Today will be a somewhat quiet trading day as bond markets as well as banks are closed in observance of the Veteran's Day holiday. While there will be some traders at their desks, liquidity is expected to be lower than normal, which can always affect the movement of the markets.
Moving forward during the week, now that the election is over, President Obama will be focusing on meetings with congressional leaders in an attempt to find some common ground on negotiations regarding the fiscal cliff. Congress had chosen not to deal with this until after the elections. The President will be meeting with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner.
But for today, we'll focus on Europe and the EUR. It seems as if the core economies are beginning to slow down, and there is fear that this will force the entire region into a recession. These feelings are weighing on the EUR and it is why the currency has been orbiting the 1.2700 level during overnight trading. Even the news that Greek Parliament passed the new austerity package which will allow for further aid did not rally the EUR. As the EUR continues to challenge the 1.2700 level pressure to go lower is building and technicals are pointing toward a target of 1.2480 by the end of the month. The support levels below 1.2700 are now at 1.2670 and 1,2640. A daily close above 1.2880 would be needed to reverse this downward trend. Traders will keep a close eye on the meeting today as well as awaiting the next "shoe to drop"; the eventual request by Spain for aid.
The other risk currencies are split as well. AUD remains better bid, while the CAD keeps flirting with the parity level. Concerns over the fiscal cliff problems in the US are starting to affect the Canadian Dollar. Analysts are concerned that if there is no solution to the fiscal cliff in the near term, problems the will affect the US economy, will spill over into the Canadian economy.
In other currency news, a report has shown that the Mexican Peso has gone from the world's strongest major currency to the weakest as traders are concerned their economy will begin to slow as demand will lessen from the United States, which is their largest trading partner. The peso had strengthened 12% since May, but has weakened a little more than 2% lately, which is the largest decline of the 16 major currencies traded, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Just as the Australian Dollar heavily trades with China and moves in that economy have strong effects on the AUD, 80% of Mexico's exports travel north of their border into the US, so the US economy greatly influences the Mexican economy.
As stated earlier, this could be a liquidity challenged day. The market has become short EUR, so the anticipation would be for some short squeeze at some time today. Overnight the high was 1.2739, so there is your first level of resistance on intraday trading.
Overnight equity markets were mixed and this morning we are seeing the same from European equity markets. DOW Futures are slightly higher, so we should see a positive start to the US equity market as long as there are no surprises in the next 3 hours.
Lastly, as we celebrate Veterans Day and Observance Day in the United States and Canada, take a moment to thank and say a prayer for the brave men and women who spend every moment securing our freedom and well being. We remain as always in their debt.
