Roethlisberger says he's happy wth offense
After a season of passive-aggressive complaining about the new Steelers offense orchestrated by Todd Haley, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finally has progressed through the various stages of grief and arrived at acceptance. Of course, throwing key interceptions late in back-to-back close losses may have sped the process along. According to Ed Bouc…

Steelers' Offense Reaches Rock-Bottom in Loss to Bengals
All season long it had been this way so why should anyone be surprised? When the offense scored points the defense gave up points. When the offense struggled, the defense played well and kept the games close. This, for the most part was the 2012 Pittsburgh Steelers with only a few minor exceptions. For the second straight week, Ben Roethlisberger t…

Steelers Offense Could Change Again if Haley Leaves After 2012
Former Steelers offensive coordinator, and current Cardinals head coach, Ken Whisenhunt is rumored to be on the hot seat in Arizona. If the Cardinals fire Whisenhunt they are expected to, at least, take a look at current Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
Haley was the offensive coordinator in Arizona from 2007-2008.

Brian Hoyer getting a crash course in Steelers offense
At the rate Steelers quarterbacks are falling, Brian Hoyer has no choice but get ready in a hurry. So the former backup to Tom Brady is getting a crash course in the Pittsburgh offense, since he'll be the backup to Charlie Batch this weekend.

Todd Haley to get Plaxico Burress up to speed with offense
The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley plans to utilize newly acquired receiver Plaxico Burress where he's most effective – in the red zone. "He brings us size. Now we've got to get him up to speed," Haley said. "That's the challenge." With the Jets last year, Burress was part of a team that ranked number 1 in red …

Roethlisberger says he likes the dink-and-dunk offense
As Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Steelers offensive coordinator inch toward a confrontation that coach Mike Tomlin regards as inevitable, Roethlisberger is fashioning a tapestry of passive-aggressive sound bites aimed at needling Haley or building support from the fans, or both. Over the weekend, Roethlisberger referred to Halley̵…

Steelers offense can win without prolific passing game now too
So far this season, Ben Roethlisberger has been on a record pace. In the first 3 games he threw for 904 yds, 8 touchdowns and 1 interception. The upgraded offense installed by Todd Haley clearly works in favor of the strengths of Big Ben and over the course of the season is capable of producing offensive numbers we haven't seen in Pittsburgh in, …

Two hours away from home, on a cold Saturday morning, the Roanoke College Maroons took on Hampden-Sydney's Tigers at their turf in Farmville, VA. While the air was brisk, the battle was red hot as the Maroons came out on top with a 21-13 victory over their opponents. With that win the Maroons move ahead in the ranks to 5-3 overall, 1-1 in the ODAC.
Two Roanoke College athletes, Brayden Gerrie and Joey Coretti led most of the first quarter in goals to bring the score 8-3 by the end of the first. By the end of the first half however the Tigers got in to the groove, controlling most of the 2nd quarter bringing the deficit 9-5.
After the second half was a different story however. Things started to look promising for the Tigers when they scored 4 unanswered goals near the end of the fourth but the Maroons were not done yet. Richard Lachlan put the brakes on the Tiger's scoring spree with his goal twenty four seconds later. After that the Maroons scored three times in less than a minute to end the Tiger's hopes of winning the game.
Some of the key players for the game included Jeff Keating, who led the Maroons with three goals and three assists. Max Satossky was also essential, who collected 11 groundballs and won 19-of-32 face-offs. Mike Hardon made 15 saves in the goal to earn him a win for the Maroons.
Not a major victory in Thursday's game, but still a win, the Maroons at home won over Christopher Newport 16-5 in Non-Conference action. By the first quarter the score was 8-0 and the Maroons never looked back as they outscored, outran, and out-saved their opponents to improve to 13th in the nation.
Much like the previous game the stars for the Maroons included familiar names such as Joey Coretti, who performed a season best with six goals, one assist, Mike Hardon, who stopped 13 shots earning his second win as goalie for the Maroons and Jeff Keating, who scored three points on the night. The Maroons improved to 6-3 on this season.
The men will go to Virginia Beach Saturday, March 31, to take on Virginia Wesleyan.

Stop and Frisk is a Huge Problem in Newark
New data examined by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey reveals that stop and frisk is more than 10 times as common in Newark as it is in New York City.
WNYC reports that in the past six months, the New York Police Department stopped eight out of every 1000 residents, while Newark police stopped 91 out of 1000 residents, according to an ACLU-NJ report.
Seventy-five percent of the people stopped in Newark were black, although black people make up just 52 percent of the city's population. Only 25 percent of the people stopped actually ended up receiving a summons or being arrested.
"Several disturbing patterns have emerged that raise constitutional red flags about the Newark Police Department's stop-and-frisk practices," said Udi Ofer, ACLU-NJ's executive director, in a statement. "Specifically, our report raises concerns about the high volume of stops, racial disparities in who is getting stopped and the fact that the vast majority of stops appear to be of innocent people."
In August, opponents of stop and frisk praised the Newark Police Department for its decision to begin releasing monthly stop-and-frisk reports to the public, making it the first police department in the country to do so.
The decision came just days after Shira Scheindlin, a federal judge, ruled the NYPD's stop-and-frisk tactics unconstitutional, saying that officers targeted blacks and Latinos without reasonable suspicion, and that they were pressured to make such stops by superiors.

Serious Eats New York contributor Barbara Hanson visited the Lower East Side's San Marzano, which has been getting some buzz lately, and found the slices there small but tasty. At $3.50 a pop for three-ounce, five-inch-long slices, the place has to be serving some of the most expensive pizza per surface area in the city.
What there is of them, however, is pretty good. The Margherita was not to my taste, sweet and a bit oily, but I tend to find Margherita slices a bit light on flavor. I tossed on some Parm, which perked it up a good deal. The quattro formaggi was better, riddled with creamy puffs of ricotta; the only off note was the gorgonzola, which shouted down the other cheeses each time I bit into it.

The Joy of Dreamweaver MX: Chapter 4
Organizing Your Kitchen: The Macromedia Workflow
|Server Model(s)
|HTML document
|Sample Code
|Style sheet
|Sample Code
|ColdFusion template
|Sample Code
--from the desk of Paul Newman
[The following is chapter 4 from the Osborne/McGraw-Hill Title, The Joy of Dreamweaver MX. Sample code for the chapter can be found on the book's companion site, www.newmanzone.com.]
With the release of Flash MX, Macromedia gave us a first look at the technology of the new MX brand: a new authoring environment, dockable panel groups, and tight integration with ColdFusion MX. Soon after came the preview releases of Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX, demonstrating Macromedia's commitment to a consistent workspace across its product line. With the announcement of Macromedia Studio MX--a package that bundles Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, Fireworks MX, Freehand 10, and ColdFusion MX-- Macromedia has ushered in "a new integrated family of client, tool, and server technologies for creating rich Internet applications that promise significantly more intuitive, responsive, and effective user experiences across platforms and devices" (http://www.macromedia.com/ macromedia/proom/pr/2002/mx_wrapper.html).
The key word here is integration. Macromedia is banking that web developers will prefer to work with a single suite of integrated tools, rather than rely on a different product for each phase of a site's development. The MX brand is an important first step in this direction, and it's a safe bet that future Macromedia releases will offer even tighter product integration.
In this chapter, we'll explore some of the
ways Dreamweaver MX integrates with Fireworks MX, TopStyle Pro, and HomeSite+.
In order to complete the examples in this chapter, you need to create a new
folder in your server root--and define a new site in Dreamweaver MX--called
Chapter4 (e.g.,
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Chapter4). For details on defining a
site in Dreamweaver MX, see Chapter 5.
Fireworks MX Integration
While Dreamweaver's integration with Flash still leaves something to be
desired, the integration with Fireworks keeps getting better and better.
One of the most notable enhancements is improved "round-tripping." Prior
to Dreamweaver MX, a developer's workflow might have resembled this: create
a logo in Fireworks and save the PNG file in a folder reserved for images
C:\images\ mysite\logo.png). Export the GIF image from Fireworks
to the folder that contains the web site (e.g.,
Thanks to improved Dreamweaver MX/Fireworks MX integration, you can now save your Fireworks source files in your site, and Dreamweaver "remembers" where to find them. With a little advanced planning, you'll never again have to search for the PNGs you used to generate your web site's images.

School: Floyd
Grade: Senior
Athletics: Soccer (fall), basketball (winter), softball (spring).
Statistics: A starter on the varsity soccer team since seventh grade,
Lisa Stoia has 64 goals and 56 assists in her career. She has been
All-County the past four years and was All-State last year. She is
following in the footsteps of her mother, Gail, who was a three-sport
athlete at Floyd, where she graduated in 1970. Stoia is the starting
point guard for the basketball team and plays shortstop in softball. She
has earned All-Conference and All-County honors in softball and also was
named All-League in basketball. Stoia was selected to the Eastern
Regional soccer team from the Olympic Development program.
Quotable: "Soccer is my life," said Stoia, who has had perfect school
attendance since kindergarten. "Ever since I was five, soccer has been a
big part of my life. Each day my love for sports grows, and it has
helped me to achieve my goals in all aspects of my life.
"When I was very young, I played with and, looked up, to my older
brothers, Cosmo, 22, and Richard, 21. They have always encouraged me and
helped me get to where I am, but I know I never could have gone as far
as I had without great teammates and coaches."
Academics: Stoia has an 85 grade-point average.
Interests: Hanging out with friends, going to the beach, watching
Next Competition: Floyd opens its girls basketball season against
Eastport at home at 4 p.m. Dec. 8.
From Her Coach: "Lisa is the ultimate team player," Floyd soccer coach
Janice Amman said. "She is a captain who leads by example and has
without a doubt elevated our program by making everyone around her
"She passes so well and is totally unselfish that she often opts to
set up her teammates instead of scoring herself. She is such an
exceptional person. She is a kid that comes along once in a lifetime."
Ambition: Stoia will attend West Virginia University next fall on a full
soccer scholarship. She is interested in pursuing both psychology and
elementary education and wants to work with children after college.

Remember when President Barack Obama and Democrat Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi promised in 2012 that we'd all have lower rates thanks to the Affordable Care Act?
Well, that promise may come with a few caveats, according to the Manhattan Institute's Avik Roy.
"[B]ased on the rates submitted by insurers to date, the average individual-market health insurance premium in 2014 will come in around $420, 'representing an increase of 88 percent' relative to 2013," Roy writes in Forbes, citing the Ohio Department of Insurance.
In short, according to Ohio officials, individual-market health premiums may increase as much as 88 percent thanks to Obamacare.
"We have warned of these increases," said Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor in a statement. "Consumers will have fewer choices and pay much higher premiums for their health insurance starting in 2014."
Roy is careful to note that the "rates that Ohio reported are proposed rates; the Department of Insurance still has to formally approve them."
"A total of 14 companies proposed rates for 214 plans to the Department. Projected costs from the companies for providing coverage for the required [by Obamacare] essential health benefits ranged from $282.51 to $577.40 for individual health insurance plans," the Ohio department claims.
This, as Roy reminds us, is commonly referred to as "rate shock."
"[B]ut it's not shocking to people who understand the economics of health insurance. In August 2011, Milliman, one of the nation's leading actuarial firms, predicted that Obamacare would increase individual-market premiums in Ohio by 55 to 85 percent," he writes.
"This past March, the Society of Actuaries projected that the law would increase premiums in that market by 81 percent. Like good players on 'The Price is Right,' they both came in just under the Dept. of Insurance's figure," he adds.
So what's driving the increase?
The main drivers, according to Milliman and Roy, are "risk pool composition changes" (such as having a healthy group subsidize a sick group) and the Affordable Care Act's expansion of insurance benefits (most especially in its mandated reductions in deductibles and co-pay).
"This is a significant concept to understand. Some people have the impression that the main reason that rates are going up under Obamacare is because of the law's requirement that insurers cover people with pre-existing conditions," Roy explains.
"But that accounts for only a fraction—around a quarter—of the rate hike. The rest comes from all the other things that Obamacare does, such as forcing people to buy richer insurance benefits; to buy products with all sorts of add-ons they might not need; to pay Obamacare's premium tax; and to pay a lot more, if they're young, to subsidize older individuals," he adds.
The Forbes contributor continues with this careful reminder:
There is an important difference between these analyses and the one I conducted for California last week. Ohio has reported average premiums across the individual market, for everyone; for California, I looked at the lowest-priced individual-market plans for 25- and 40-year-old men, both pre- and post-Obamacare.
"We'll need to go through Ohio's individual rate filings, especially after they've been approved by the state, to get a more detailed sense of what is going on," he adds:
Still, based on Roy's and the Ohio Department of Insurance's projections, it would appear that, yes, lower-income individuals will have lower premiums — but only because of middle-class funded subsidies.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, known for his keen interest in technology, is set to meet with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in Moscow next week, according to Russian news agencies cited by Agence-France Press.
More from GlobalPost: Turkey's Erdogan takes Russia, China, Iran to task over Syria conflict
Facebook is not as popular in Russia as it is elsewhere due to the succeess of rival social network VKontakte and others, said AFP.
Nevertheless, Medvedev, an avid user of social networks -- he has nearly 1.5 million followers on Twitter -- has arranged a special meeting with Zuckerberg on Monday, the prime minister's spokeswoman Natalya Timakova announced today.
The two will reportedly discuss social media innovation in Russia, a sometimes controversial topic due to the opposition's use of such platforms for organizing anti-government activity, as well as plans for new technology pursuits at Russia's hoped-for equivalent to the US' Silicon Valley -- the Skolkovo complex.
The Kremlin in July announced plans to start its own Facebook-style social network, reported The Guardian, which is currently being developed and is scheduled to launch next June.
While in Moscow, Zuckerberg will also reportedly take part in the Facebook World Hack event bringing programmers together to brainstorm on the future of social media, according to AFP.

"A greedy father has thieves for children."
-Serbian proverb
Not unlike those of the Roman Empire, the political fathers of the modern day Fiat Empire purge their citizenry's hard earned capital in order to attempt to maintain short term popularity. When they run out of funds, they simply borrow more. Then they spend that too.
I'm in the midst of reading "Rubicon - The Last Years of the Roman Republic." I've written about this before, but it's worth mentioning again. The behavioral parallels between professional politicians circa 100BC was eerily similar to what you see in Western Europe and America today.
Sulla (138BC-78BC) was the poster child of what became an untenable Roman dictatorship. Once he captured control, he swept away the ideals that galvanized the Roman Empire's longstanding pride. The meritocracy that allowed common citizens to rise up against the political aristocracy and lead their country was quashed. The greed and lust for political power in the Republic became disgusting. Tom Holland captures life in the Sulla moment effectively:
"As dictator he had thrown the largest parties in Rome's history. Everyone in the city had been invited. Spit roasts had sizzled in the streets, vintage wines had flowed from public fountains. The citizens had gorged themselves." (Rubicon, pg 104).
This, of course, didn't end well. Leveraging yourself to the habit of overspending never does. European governments are finally coming to grips with this new reality. While their political resolve continues to be borrow-borrow-borrow, then spend what they borrow, unlike America, at least they are implementing some form of austerity on the spending side of this dysfunctional equation.
This morning, markets around the world remain confused. This is mainly a function of professional investors being confused, not the people whose money they are managing. To the citizenry of all nations who are over-geared, the output of austerity is crystal clear – slowing growth and less to gorge.
Here are some interesting thoughts from influential Europeans in
this morning's news:
1. UK – George Osborne (the new Chancellor of the Exchequer): "At the heart of the crisis was a rapid and unsustainable increase in debt that our macroeconomic and regulatory system utterly failed to identify, let alone prevent."
2. Russia – Igor Shuvalov (First Deputy Prime Minister): "I'd be very cautious about stock investments in this country. I would welcome real investors who can build factories, something new in this country."
3. Italy – Claudio Artusi (CEO of City Life – Milan's $2.6B real estate project that's built the tallest building in Italy): "Our investors are more concerned about long term value than short term returns. The project is aimed at the top end of the market and won't be affected by the economic cycle."
Confusion from the Italian sitting on his perch at Club Myopia and, at the same time, admission of the new Age of Austerity that has been voted into the UK's political system. All the while Spanish and French governments are trying to convince the Russians to buy their broken promissory notes (more sovereign debt auctions this morning) as the Russians look to start taxing their almighty petrodollars (considering a tax on oil exports from tax-exempt Siberian oil fields).
The only way that this unsustainable Piling Debt Upon Debt plan changes is if we change the governments who plan to keep spending. Germany has a much better fiscal position than the US at this stage of the game and has already implemented austerity measures on the order of 2.7% of GDP. Part in parcel with Osborne's comments in the UK this morning is David Cameron getting rid of the FSA (Financial Services Authority). Why? Because it doesn't work.
You can't solve problems with politicians who perpetuated the problems. Change is good and it seems to me that those countries who have the political backbone to make changes first will win this race to the bottom in the end (you need to hit bottom before you bounce).
Levered markets, politicians, and financiers alike need to take a good, hard, and long look at the bottom before they change their ways. Artusi's fanciful expectations are a metaphor for an era that's passing us by. The score for Italy's latest version of an opulent "City Life" is on the board – only 90 of 390 luxury apartments sold. The Fiat Empire may not be burning yet, but the smell is becoming awfully familiar…
We covered our short position in the SP500 (SPY) yesterday on market weakness. That doesn't mean I'm not bearish. It simply means I think I can re-short the market higher. We will see if I'm right about that. My immediate term support and resistance lines are now 1101 and 1127, respectively.
Best of luck out there today,
Keith R. McCullough

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: 0.9.0-incubating
Component/s: Reasoners
The current implementation of the reasoning services execute the operation in real time.
Reasoning tasks are often time consuming, and in some cases cannot be completed in the lifetime of a http request.
For this reason, there is the need of a way of running reasoning operations in the background, and a web service to ping the running operation and retrieve the result, when ready.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
The current implementation is stable, I will start to work on this issue on a separate branch, and let the current version in trunk until this is solved.
As next step we need to refactor the ReasoningServiceExecutor class in the web module, in order to prepare it to be an implementation of Callable to be given to the JobManager:
- Remove references to JAX-RS types from ReasoningServiceExecutor (decoupling from JAX-RS Resource)
- Create two new types:
- ReasoningServiceResult, to be processed by the JAX-RS resource. In perspective this would be the outcome of the job (Callable<ReasoningServiceResult>)
- ResponseTaskBuilder, this class would prepare the Response object, used by the ReasoningServiceTaskResource with data from a ReasoningServiceResult.
The Jobs API have been moved to a dedicated module: Stanbol Commons Jobs (see
STANBOL-383). The /reasoners endpoint implements this api.
A set of runtime tests on the services have been prepared in /services-test, a shared class between runtime tests is in /test. Some of these (offline ones) could be added to the shares integration-tests module, after putting Reasoners in the full launcher (but decoupling of i-t from a single module is in discussion
Tests are actually configured to run with a kres launcher (so you need to build that before running the tests).
At this stage I would move this to /trunk, close this issue and then create dedicated issues for improvements.
As the previous comment says, this can be marked resolved, then specific things will be managed on separate issues.

Kansas posted large jobs gains compared to a year earlier, but the growth in employed people was more subdued. How does that work?
Kansas had about 19,200 more nonfarm jobs in January 2014 than in January 2013, but only 4,651 more people were employed, according to different data sets released by the Kansas Department of Labor on Monday.
Supporters of Gov. Sam Brownback often point to the first data set as evidence his policies are working, while his opponents point to the second set to show the policies are failing. So who can add points to their scoreboard? The answer isn't simple, and the difference has as much to do with methodology as ideology.
According to Tyler Tenbrink, senior labor economist with the DOL, the nonfarm jobs numbers come from surveying civilian employers around the state. The employment numbers come from surveying a sample of people about whether they are employed, unemployed or not looking for a job.
One person who works two jobs would count as two jobs in the first data set, but as one person in the second, Tenbrink said. The data sets also differ because the employment survey includes agricultural workers, people who are self-employed, domestic workers and other people who aren't counted in the jobs numbers, he said.
The DOL typically focuses more on the jobs data, which has a larger sample, but the employment data is used to calculate the unemployment rate and how many people are in the labor force, Tenbrink said.
The jobs data show strong job gains over the past year, but the employment data show more modest gains, with about 7,485 fewer people working or looking for a job in January 2014 than in January 2013 (whether due to people getting discouraged or to older people retiring is unclear).
That divergence isn't uncommon. According to the Associated Press, the unemployment rate fell in 43 states in January, but only 23 states reported an increase in jobs. In February, preliminary data suggests the opposite happened. The unemployment rate rose at the same time more jobs were being created, because more people decided to take their chances on looking for work.
The takeaway? Jobs were created in Kansas in the past year, but people continued to exit the labor force. Some people are better off, with new jobs or second jobs, but other people still aren't coming back into the labor force.
The data can easily lend themselves to spin from either side, and they don't clearly show if economic policies are working. (They also don't take into factor out influences from the national economy, international upheaval or even the weather, which are all beyond the control of state government.)
While jobs and employment data are interesting, and important to keep track of, they aren't points on the political scoreboard. A little something to think about when the cheerleaders for both sides of the aisle start pulling out their megaphones.

The welts were still fresh on Zack Stortini's face when he got the bad news yesterday morning.
The big winger, who dropped the gloves with tough guy Eric Godard during Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Calgary Flames at the Pengrowth Saddledome, was one of eight players cut or reassigned yesterday as the Edmonton Oilers trimmed their roster to 37.
That'll leave a mark.
"You're never happy being sent down," said the gap-toothed Stortini, who has been assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL. "I'll make the best of the situation and work as hard as I can and help that team win. I'll be ready when they need me back up here.
"In all, six players were sent to the AHL. While Stortini goes to Steeltown, Forwards Kyle Brodziak, Liam Reddox and Tim Sestito are headed to the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins. Left wingers Stephane Goulet and Brock Radunske were sent to Grand Rapids.
Vyacheslav Trukhno was returned to Gatineau of the QMJHL, while J.J. Hunter, here on a tryout, was released.
Like the other forwards re-assigned, Stortini, a former captain of the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL, found himself in tough with the Oilers boasting a lot of depth up front.
"I don't think it's a situation where you look at everybody else on the team," Stortini said.
"You go into camp and work as hard as you can and make it a tough decision for the management and coaching staff. I just do the best I can and one day I'll have the opportunity to help the Oilers win."
Stortini's ticket to the NHL will be his toughness, but even his willingness to go with Godard couldn't keep him here.
"I've got to improve on everything. I think it's really important for me to continue to get better at my skating and my skill and to get bigger and stronger."

"Hi Dad!"' called Clarisse, "Here's the stuff from Joey's."
"Thank's sweetie," replied Tony. "Oh, Grace dropped by. She's upstairs."
"Kayloveubye!", came the reply as the teen headed upstairs.
Tony just shook his head and went back to his welding.
The door to her room was slightly open and Clarisse could see Grace sitting at the computer. Surfing the gossip sites her mom won't let her see at home, she thought. Without even glancing at her friend, she bounced into the room and flopped down on the bed. "So who's Justin sleeping with this week?", she drawled. The answer she got was unexpected.
"Wow. Successful exec, beautiful young wife and son killed in an accident, then disappears from the grid? That's just so amazingly dark and tragic, K-B! Just makes you want to melt! Kind of a plain name though. Should be something like 'Rex', or 'Alistair', or 'Carter', instead of 'John', don't ya think?"
Clarisse sat bolt upright in bed. "WHAT THE FRAG DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!", she yelled. "That's a private file, you twit!"
Always snooping though things aren't you?
"What's your damage? You left it open in the desktop. Look, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not really 'stalking' if you're going out with him, right? Besides, it's an absolutely dreamy story… I'm so jealous."
Clarisse jumped across the gap and hit close tab. "It's stuff he asked me to look into, and it's not about him, it's his twin brother, okay? So just drop it."
Or. Else.
"Whatever. Psycho. If you don't want me to see it, don't leave fragging file open on the screen. What about these files on the rest of them? I suppose that's about someone else too?"
Clarisse stood over the blonde girl, fists held tight, fighting to control her anger. "Did you snoop through those files too?", she said through clenched teeth.
Gun's in that drawer, still loaded from Mazula's "lesson"…
"No! Well, maybe a little. But I thought we shared stuff like that," whined Grace, shrinking away from Clarisse's fury. "And there's really nothing in Hirito's file."
"Get. Out. Now."
Grace scrambled awkwardly out of the chair, not wanting to turn her back on her friend. "What the hell is wrong with you, Clare?", she asked. "You've been acting all weird ever since you met those guys."
"GET OUT!!!!", came the reply, as the desk clock smashed into the door next to the blonde's head.
Tony looked up from the welding as he heard running footsteps. Grace came racing through the door and out to the street, tears streaming down her face and smudging her makeup. Whoo, boy. That looks like a doozy. Wonder what, or who, they're fighting about now?, he thought.
The troll briefly considered about going upstairs to check that Clarisse was ok, but dismissed the thought. She'd probably just blow up at me too, he thought. Besides, the girls regularly had dust-ups about boys. And clothes. And friends. And boys. It always blew over. He'd never understand how teenage girls could get so intensely upset one minute, then forget about it the next.
Tony just shook his head and went back to his welding.

The $16-plus-billion emergency fix for the scandal-plagued Department of Veterans Affairs is
designed to do a lot of things.
It is intended to help hire more doctors and nurses; build more VA facilities; and make it easier for veterans to get health care from non-VA providers.
What it won't do is start to
reform a culture that rewards liars, punishes whistleblowers and shields itself from scrutiny with a bureaucratic brick wall.
That would require the ability to quickly and easily fire bad employees, which this recently approved bill doesn't do.
"Throwing money at the VA won't solve their problem," said U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan. "A fundamental change in culture and real leadership from the president on down is the only way to provide the quality, timely care our veterans deserve."
The media have ballyhooed provisions enabling the VA secretary to immediately terminate senior executives – an authority new Secretary Bob McDonald should have anyway. But the measure signed recently by President Obama does nothing to streamline the termination process for the VA's rank-and-file civil service employees.
As many as 1,000 veterans may have died while languishing on secret waiting lists at VA facilities nationwide, including in Augusta. Considering the depth and breadth of the scandal, one would assume at least some mid- to low-level employees also should be held to account.
After all, the falsified and omitted records and cover-ups that led to the preventable veteran deaths – and $100 million in pay bonuses for VA administrators over a three-year period – clearly bear the fingerprints of federal employees at multiple pay grades.
Reforming the VA requires overhauling its employee culture, from the top down and the bottom up.
Yet, as Military Times reports, fewer than 500 of the VA's 380,000 employees are covered by the bill's streamlined termination
and discipline provisions. And even then, "it's unclear whether they face any real threat to their jobs."
It's also unclear whether the VA has fired anyone in this scandal. Before the appointment of former Procter & Gamble CEO McDonald as VA secretary last month, the agency said it "might" discipline six officials, whom it declined to name, and that only two of them could be fired.
Remember, this is an agency whose inspector general found falsified wait times at 70 percent of its facilities.
A wholesale house-cleaning might be just what the doctor
"If you've been in an organization that's failed across the board the way the VA has, the writing is on the wall and probably a lot of the senior people have to go," Todd Henshaw of the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business told Stars and Stripes. "(McDonald is) going to need some people coming in from the outside."
An old saying goes that it's impossible to fire a federal employee for anything less than murder. So what would you call it when a veteran dies from the willful withholding of medical treatment to which he is entitled?
And what about the fact that performance bonuses were linked to these deaths?
Honestly, where's the accountability?
Sadly, it's not found abundantly in the VA reform act. Any terminated "senior executive service" employee – or equivalent medical professional – still would have seven days to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board, which in turn has 21 days for an expedited adjudication. The MSPB's decision to retain or terminate is final.
That's only slightly better than the existing appeals process, which can take months to resolve, but far too cumbersome when compared to the termination process in the private sector – which consistently delivers better outcomes at lower costs than government health care.
The private sector fires employees at six times the rate of government, which in 2013 terminated just .049 percent of workers, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
The civil service laws Congress enacted decades ago to protect employees from politically motivated firings has created a job-for-life system that serves the interest of the federal bureaucracy, not the general public.
If a government worker is deemed a poor performer – a designation that itself is subject to interpretation – the onus for improvement is put on the organization rather than the employee.
Even when misconduct – not performance – is the cause for action, employees still are entitled to lengthy due process and a period of administrative leave. All of this generates paperwork and confrontation. Most managers try to avoid that.
And even when managers take a termination to the furthest level, there's always the chance the MSPB will overrule their decision.
This is a big reason why IRS employees can harass conservative groups; Secret Service agents can hire prostitutes; and General Services Administration employees can treat themselves to a lavish Las Vegas conference with near-impunity.
More often than not, career government employees get
reassigned or demoted, or are
allowed to retire – almost anything but terminated.
"I actually think the federal workforce would be better off with more firing," Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute told CNN. "The good workers get disheartened and demoralized if they see these nonperforming workers making as much as them and they're not doing their job."
If lawmakers are serious about reform, they should change the way government employees are evaluated, promoted and disciplined. And they should start at the VA, where decisions by government workers literally can be a matter of life and death.
Otherwise, the $16 billion VA bill is nothing but a reward for failure, and it's only a matter of time before the next scandal arises.

Need advice building a caller ID system
I've looked through the forum and can't see where to best ask this question... so I thought I'd try here
I want to build a caller ID system
A user calls up. The system should capture the number called from and then identify the user and bring up their details
I've investigated, and think I'm correct in saying that I need the old modems connected to a PC (for example). This then can be used to pass the phone ID. I've in the past seen 3rd party programs
What I'd want to do is some how pass to a web interface and then have this pull up records
Not sure where to start!
Any pointers would be great

Since 1923 the Sammlung Tusculum has published authoritative editions of Greek and Latin works together with a German translation. The original texts are comprehensively annotated, and feature an introductory chapter. In the new volumes, additional essays delve into specific aspects of the works, illuminating their historical context and reception to the present day. The high academic quality of the new editions together with clearly written essays and annotations make the Sammlung Tusculum essential reading for students who are discovering an ancient author for the first time as well as professional scholars who would like to gain a deeper understanding of specific aspects of a given work. Moreover, the series is ideal for lay readers who would like to engage with antiquity through a reliable German translation.
The series contains over 270 titles, available in print and eBook editions, making previously out-of-print titles and rarities available again for the first time.
In order to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the series, De Gruyter is proud to present Tusculum Online, an eBook package which contains all titles that appeared between 1923 and 2013 - a fitting tribute to an important part of German publishing history.

Mesquite has come a long way since its humbling start to District 12-5A play. Though coach Robbie Robinson says there's work to be done, the team has something to smile about heading into the final three regular season games.
Two weeks after beginning district play with a 69-17 loss to Longview, Mesquite (4-3, 2-1) topped Mesquite Horn, 31-17. Fresh from that Oct. 11 victory, the Skeeters take on North Mesquite at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
"These inner-city rivalry games are big for you. That coupled with the fact that [Horn] is a great team, it's a great feeling," Robinson said.
Horn entered its showdown with Mesquite ranked No. 5 in the Dallas Morning News area poll. Unranked at the time, Mesquite leaped to No. 17 in next week's poll with the victory. It was a step forward in what has proved to be a turnaround from the team's district opener.
"Everyone was pretty well humiliated [against Longview]. We could do one of two things, fold our tent and go home or rally and start doing what we needed to do," Robinson said. "I'm thrilled to death with the way the kids have responded."
Things began to look brighter as key pieces came together in a 39-14 win over Rockwall-Heath, just a week after being blown out by Longview.
Senior Horace LeBlanc took control of the quarterback position, and senior running back Shadavian Reed eclipsed 100 yards for the third time in 2013.
Against Horn, LeBlanc went 12-of-14, a season high in completions, and threw a touchdown, while Reed racked up 203 rushing yards and scored three times.
"You talk about a quality kid on top of a quality player with leadership; the job he's done is invaluable," Robinson said of Reed.
Mesquite kept Horn on its toes with team-leading senior receiver Octayvious Miles and sophomore Robert Blythe. Blythe is second in the team in both rushing and receiving yards, a strength Robinson expects to use throughout the rest of the season.
"I saw a quote the other day from a coach about balance," Robinson said. "Having dual-threat kids is always helpful."
Friday's matchup with North Mesquite pits teams with similar strengths. North Mesquite enters with running backs Ta'Varius Luke and Corey Hunt, who rank second and sixth, respectively, in rushing yardage among area 5A schools.

text: Sorting out the hurricane closet is an annual ritual. Goal is to have enough food to comfortable ride two weeks, but also to have it moveable, so mostly it's cans in bins. We probably don't do the greatest job at rotating stock, b/c day to day we eat mostly fresh foods. Doing a major re-sort and re-org this year and notice that many cans show mid-2010 or even mid-2009 "best if used by dates." If manufacturers would just put "Canned on" date, I'd count five years and be done with it. But no such luck. So thoughts on how long a can of soup or SPAM or hash or tuna or pineapple slices etc etc really is good for? All cans in good condition, stored at room temp (75-ish). We'll replace it all eventually -- local food bank takes anything at all and uses it if can, tosses if it can't. I just can't afford to find out when I open it if a can is good to go.

CubeMasterwrote a review of The North Face Ultra 103 XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's on April 13, 2007
Excellent Waterproof Breathability
These are positively wonderful. I don't understand why MORE manufacturers don't make a breathable waterproof shoe. The world is full of boots, but in a shoe you have about 4 options. These are genuinely cool and light, have incredible support - work well for walking or hiking. They are hard rubber and get very slippery when wet, but overall awesome. So nice to walk through puddles and wet grass and not get your socks even damp.

Private home rentals second in Ireland
COUNTY Wexford has the second highest number of Rental Accommodation Scheme houses in the country.
Only Dublin South County Council has more houses in the RAS scheme, which sees local authorities leasing houses from private landlords on behalf of tenants for up to five years.
The Wexford figure has risen strongly since January 2011, when there were 245 RAS tenancies. By January of this year, it was 645.
However, councillors have serious concerns about the scheme and see it as a poor replacement for social house building.
'A RAS house can never be called a proper home because people don't know how long they are going to be in it,' said Cllr Bobby Ireton.
Cllr Malcom Byrne said RAS tenants don't have the opportunity to buy their own properties.
Cllr Byrne argued in favour of RAS tenants being allowed to transfer back to a council scheme. 'I understand that's not permitted,' he said.
Director of Services Tony Larkin replied that these are private houses owned by landlors and, in any event, all tenant purchase options are currently suspended.
Many RAS tenants are coming to the end of their lease terms and the owners can claim the houses back if they wish, said Cllr Padge Reck: 'The most important thing for people is secure tenure and RAS is not secure tenure.'
