Was United Nations coalition right in Friday's bombing of radar systems in Iraq?Feb. 20, 2001
No: Actions will hurt Iraqis, not Hussein
Friday's bombing of five strategic points around Baghdad has refocused the nation's eyes on Saddam Hussein and Iraqi-United Nation relations. President George W. Bush and his administration have proudly proclaimed this action was the continuation of a policy to enforce post-Persian Gulf War sanctions that began with Bush's father and continued throughout the Clinton years.
There is only one problem: this policy is flawed.
The sanctions and military actions used to enforce them are against the American ideal of sovereignty of the people, first introduced by Woodrow Wilson in his 14 Points of Light following World War I. This idea is that the people within the nation should be able to decide how they are to be ruled. There is to be no interference from another country.
'The rationale that the Bush administration gives is no explanation at all,' said Hussein Ibish, spokesman for the American Anti-Discrimination committee in Washington, D.C. 'You can't give justification for something that wasn't justified to begin with. Iraq didn't give up its sovereignty when it lost the Gulf War.'
Not only are the sanctions contrary to historically American thought, they are counterproductive. Despite these restrictions, which are aimed at removing Hussein from power, Hussein remains as strong within Iraq as he was 10 years ago. The sanctions do not hurt Hussein but his people, who are desperately in need of supplies to live. UNICEF has stated that the infant mortality rate in Iraq has doubled in the past 10 years.
Robert Pape, a political science professor at the University of Chicago, said totalitarian states often rely on the civilian population to suffer through harsh punishment to accomplish their goals. The punishment encourages the people to stay loyal to the regime to receive supplies such as food and medicine.
Bush stated that the United States is enforcing the sanctions in cooperation with its United Nation allies; however, several 'allied' nations have condemned the attack, including Russia, China and one of our few 'allies' in the Middle East, Egypt.
The military action has also been ineffective. Despite air raids in the no-fly zones and in the heart of Iraq as of Friday, the United Nations weapons inspectors have not entered Iraq since December of 1998. In an ABCnews.com report, U.S. and United Nations officials were cited as saying that they did not believe the inspectors would enter the nation any time soon.
A wise man once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. These actions have not worked, I think it is time to try something new.
'The United States' actions were completely unjustified, and all it does is dig a deeper hole for all of us and everyone else involved,' Ibish said. 'It's a horrible way for a new administration to begin what should have been a change in approach.'

Review for Supportive Housing And Innovative Partnerships Inc, Boise, ID, USA
I began working with Supportive Housing and Innovative Partnerships in early 2009. Since then I have seen many people turn their lives around and become successful members of our community, including several veterans and women with children. Working with this organization has changed the way that I view our community and the individuals that SHIP works with. The most amazing part is watching the individuals that have gone through SHIP's program coming back and volunteering, not only for SHIP but for other organizations in our community. They have created opportunities through Second Chance Building Materials Center to help individuals with barriers to employment. They are community oriented and have helped many other non-profit organizations in Boise with donations of items for auction fundraisers and the creation of a website designed to help link offenders with resources.

Local theater group entertaining with 'Unnecessary Farce'
For twenty-seven years, the Harwood Prairie Playhouse has catered to comedy.
This year will be no exception as the cast and crew prepares to tackle Paul Slade Smith's riotous new comedy "Unnecessary Farce," in which Eric Sheridan and Billie Dwyer play a couple of young and bumbling police out to cement their reputations as real cops.
This production reacquaints playhouse audiences with favorites Amanda Eide and Adam Harfield who are joined on stage by veteran actors Bill Lucas and John Noone as well as newcomers Missy Teeters, Sarah Piersol, and Taylor Schatz.
Pam Strait is serving as director, marking her second experience with the group, having performed in the world premier of David Lassig's "Who Maid Who" performed two seasons ago.
Strait is a veteran of the local performing arts scene, involved in writing directing and acting for over 30 years, currently as a member of the Theatre B ensemble, sitting on their board of directors.
Strait said she is enjoying her newfound directing role. "The combination of a great script and a talented cast has made working on this production a real joy. HPP draws actors from several other companies in the region - Theatre B, FMCT, Tin Roof, Bare Stage, F/M Opera, Linebenders Improv, all the colleges - and the melding of these diverse groups yields a tremendously creative cast and makes the process that much more enjoyable. By the time the show closes, the actors will have donated approximately 150 hours of time each to this project. They make a terrific ensemble and working with them has been a lot of fun."
As for the script, she said it is sure to entertain. "It's a smart, sassy farce and I know the audiences will have a great time watching the actors have a great time. It's nice to be working with the HPP family again, too. They like to create a working set for the actors very early in the process - an especially useful tactic when the script calls for eight slamming doors, as does this one. I must also admit to a real fondness for the HPP audiences who seem to have their own special energy and vibe. Performing for them is an amazing experience - they laugh and respond to everything that happens onstage, creating a wonderful symbiosis that enhances the experience on both sides of the footlights."
Performance for "Unnecessary Farce" will take place at Dawson Hall, Bonanzaville, on March 11-12, March 17-19 and March 24-26 at 7:30 p.m. each evening, and 2 p.m. each day on March 13, 20, 26.
Senior Citizens Night will again be observed this year on Thursday evening, March 17. Those attending will be able to enjoy desert at 6:45 p.m. prior to the show and then have the opportunity to meet and mingle with the cast after the production.
Tickets are $10 and are available by calling the box office at 701-287-6807, by emailing email@example.com, or by contacting Yunker Farm at 298-6807 for reservations.

Solomon Hill is big enough to admit that he let himself go last season. "I was not in the best shape," says the Arizona soph. Wildcats coach Sean Miller was counting on Hill, an ESPNU Top 100 recruit, to fill some of the void created when forwards Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill bolted early for the NBA. But Hill, out of condition all year, was a nonfactor, committing an unsightly 4.4 fouls per 40 minutes and averaging just 6.7 PPG. His low point, he says, came in an ugly 67-64 loss to Oregon State in January, when he scored just two points. "I struggled against their zone and couldn't get back on defense," he says.
Much like the rest of the student body, hoops players battle the freshman 15. "A lot of guys enter college resistant to change because of their high school success," says an NBA scout. "But they aren't used to playing at a faster pace against quicker opponents. It just so happens, most of the Pac-10 freshmen were in that boat last year." The league has had an abundance of rookies on the floor the past two seasons because in the 2008 and 2009 NBA drafts, 21 Pac-10 players were plucked, the most from any conference over that span.

WE usually take 7-night cruises but lately our cruises are running 14-nights or more. I really begin to relax on the longer cruises. What is the best length for you?
WE usually take 7-night cruises but lately our cruises are running 14-nights or more. I really begin to relax on the longer cruises. What is the best length for you?
30 days. It takes me two weeks to begin feeling at home in our cabin. One weekers just don't cut it, might as well not unpack. Five weeks is just right. Plus, all that expensive and tiresome air travel around the globe just for a quickie? Not for me.
We like 3 week cruises if we can.
The only 7 day we took was to Bermuda, but the holiday was actually longer.
Looking forward to our next long one, with plenty of sea days.
I like 14 night or longer if it is a vacation, I have done a couple of those where I add a few weeks land with them so it is a 4 to 5 week trip. It is not worth going to Europe for just a week or two. No better place to relax then on a ship for a transatlantic sailing.
On a 7 night cruise you just start relaxing and it is over. The 3 and 4 night cruises I consider a quick get away, same as if I'd drive down to San Diego or up to Santa Barbra for a few days.
I am looking at some cruises for next year that would be 30 to 120 night trips if I can find friends to go with me.
It's difficult for us to be away from work for more than a week, but we'll stretch it to 10 or 12 days to include flights plus pre and post stays for those trips like Europe or Alaska. Fortunately we get enough vacation time that we can do a few week-long trips each year and we're definitely looking forward to a time when we'll be able to take longer cruises!
10 days for me
Thanks for answering. I agree with all of you. Good to know that almost everyone is taking longer length cruises.
Seven days doesn't seem long enough. You just get used to the ship and it's time to get off. We usually do ten days, but we'll be doing fifteen in November.
I may be considering a much longer cruise for next January but have not made up my mind yet.
The longest I have been on is 30 days. Seemed like I blinked and it was time to get off.
Well, we've now booked our longest cruise yet! A 15 day river cruise Amsterdam to Budapest this summer aboard Avalon Impression! With flights it'll be 16 or 17 days. I can't believe we were both able to get so much time off work in one stretch! Of course, we'll probably never be caught up on work again afterwards…
Oh well. We always say, we work so we can travel!

Linux memory management: Real memory or Cached buffers?
I wanted to know more about how to look at a linux (Red Hat Enterrprise) in terms of memory ? Should you look at "real memory " free using top or free -m or should you pay attention to "CAched buffers"
For example lets take this output from "free -m"
bash-3.00$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 15808 15130 677 0 113 6171
-/+ buffers/cache: 4845 10963
Swap: 2047 0 2047
So lets say when you do ps -ef you see ther are a few java process and combined memory usage is around 10Gigs. So question is
a) Where is the rest of the memory ? Was it used for cached buffers when copying over some big files?
b) Can I start say 2 more java process with 2Gig heap space and it will get memory from the "cached buffers"
Bottom line if you want a healthy system should you be worried if you dont have real memory but have a lot of cached buffers?
The cached buffers do not matter, since these will occupy as much of the remaining memory as required.
The sign of having enough memory is that the swap space is seldom (if ever) used.

Cheers to the season: Holiday pop-up bar will open in Market Square next week
Plus, a chocolate pop-up, a Lawrenceville bar opening and a new Dormont coffee shop
The calorie-counters out there already know how many calories are in that Diet Coke (zero). But wouldn't it be nice to know exactly how many calories are in the rum or whiskey that you mix with your cola?
Or in that White Russian?
Or that towering, 20-ounce Long Island iced tea? On second thought, maybe it's better not to know, which is why there hasn't been a public clamor for more nutritional information on the back of that bottle of booze.
Spirits, as well as wine, are among the few foodstuff items that don't bear a nutrition label of substance. The only thing a booze label is required to convey to the consumer is the "proof," or alcohol content, in the bottle. Beer bottles aren't much more illustrative, sometimes offering up the number of calories and alcohol percentage and possibly carbohydrate levels, but not much else.
"In the year 2011, it's sort of bizarre that alcohol's the only consumable product sold in the United States that you can't tell what's inside the bottle," Guy L. Smith, executive vice president in North America for Diageo, said to The Associated Press.
Federal regulators may want that to change, and have been debating improved alcohol labeling since the early years of the George W. Bush administration. But the three affected industries -- spirits, wine and beer makers -- don't always get along, and they have been at odds over how to best display nutritional information and serving sizes.
The issue is revived from time to time, and the National Consumers League revived it again, late in 2010, when it issued a statement urging the U.S. Tax and Trade Bureau to get its act together.
The Tax and Trade Bureau is the federal agency with authority over alcohol labels, and it continues to debate a new set of alcohol labeling regulations. Most recently, the bureau considered a rule that would have required an "alcohol facts" label on all bottles (or cans, or boxes) of alcohol, but it declined to formally endorse that rule.
"The drinking public needs certain basic information on beer, wine and spirits labels," said consumers league Executive Director Sally Greenberg. "With a severe nationwide obesity epidemic, there is no excuse for not having calories listed on all alcohol beverage labels."
The group also suggested that the nine college students who fell ill last year after drinking too much of a caffeinated alcoholic beverage might not have made that mistake if they knew the exact contents, and serving size, of the drink they were imbibing. (One such brand is Four Loko, made at the former Rolling Rock brewery.)
Suggesting that the college kids might have had less to drink if only they'd known that a can of Four Loko represented, say, 2.5 servings of alcohol, rather than one serving, is a bit like saying that pigs might eat fewer truffles if they knew about the saturated fat levels. But the National Consumers League's larger point is that a wide cross-section of imbibers -- from calorie-counters to diabetics to those with food allergies -- would benefit from improved nutritional disclosure on alcohol bottle labels.
Consensus seems far away. The beer industry wants to update the notion that a serving of booze represents 1.5 ounces; otherwise, the 100 or so calories in a 12-ounce bottle of beer might suffer by comparison to an artificially low calorie measurement for spirits.
The wine industry has a separate beef: With all of the varietals and blends that go into making a particular vintage in a particular year, a winery would have to calculate nutritional information for every new vintage. Instead, it wants to use broader estimates in its labeling, the rough number of calories and carbs in each serving.
And what's the point of nutritional information on a bottle of booze when most mixed drinks are imbibed at bars and restaurants, where no one is going to look at the bottle anyway?
Meanwhile, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a pro-business think tank, says the labeling standards are so much hogwash and wouldn't do anything to curb our obesity problem, as the consumers league suggests.
"While benefits are unclear, such mandates pose drawbacks for consumers -- both monetary and aesthetic," the institute says. In other words, people like pretty labels on their bottles of wine, and a black-and-white "alcohol facts" box would muck that up.
The Enterprise Institute also points out that nutritional information can be found online, in some cases. Diageo, the international beverage distributor, runs a website called drinkIQ.com that offers fat, calorie, protein, carb and serving information (all of those measurements are based on a serving size of 1.5 ounces, another point of contention with the beer industry, which says 1.5 ounces doesn't accurately reflect the amount of booze people imbibe in a drink).
Diageo's ingredient information is more hit-and-miss. For example, the site tells us Baileys Original Irish Cream contains "fresh dairy cream, sugar, alcohol, maltodextrin, milk products, cocoa extracts and flavours, Irish whiskey, coloring: 150b, emulsifier: E471, acidity regulator: E331."
But for Guinness, another Diageo brand, ingredients are not available. For Johnnie Walker, the ingredients disclosure is just a description of how Scotch is made. Tanqueray gin is made of "water, alcohol, juniper berries and other natural botanicals"; for Black Haus, a blackberry schnapps brand, the website says the only ingredient is "Blackberry Schnapps Liqueur."
The consumers league says inaction at the federal level is out of step with national dietary trends, which put more nutritional information in the hands of consumers.
"Label reform for alcoholic beverages is a no-brainer," Ms. Greenberg said in the statement.
Embury, the old-fashioned cocktail lounge (read: no vodka, no mixers from a soda gun) housed beneath the Firehouse club in the Strip District, is the winner of the "Nightclub & Bar" magazine award for "Small Wonder Bar of the Year" in 2010. Embury is owned by Spencer Warren, and named after famed cocktail author and historian David Embury.
Last year's "small wonder" award went to Manifesto, a cocktail bar in Kansas City, Mo.
Boyd & Blair, the top-end potato vodka distilled in a former glass factory along Route 8, has entered a new distribution agreement with The Country Vintner of Ashland, Va. The agreement means that Boyd & Blair soon will be sold in Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Washington, D.C.
Boyd & Blair, the first distilled spirit to be produced in Pittsburgh, already is available in eight other states. The company is owned by Prentiss Orr and Barry Young. Visit boydandblair.com.

Praise for God's mighty deliverance of Zion.
Scripture References:
st. l = vv. 1-3
st. 2 = vv. 4-7
st. 3 = vv. 8-10
st. 4 = vv. 11-12
Ancient tradition suggests that this psalm was composed after the destruction of Sennacherib's army outside Jerusalem (2 Kings 19:35). The psalm's main theme develops in the opening and closing stanzas (vv. 1-3, 11-12; st. 1, 4): God defends Zion and makes his name known; God requires commitment, worship, and praise, even from the kings of the earth. The seven Hebrew lines (vv. 4-10) that link the psalm's framing verses celebrate God's awesome act of judgment that brought relief to Zion: God's unequaled power overcomes human might (st. 2), and not even human hostility can frustrate the plans of the God who pronounces judgment from heaven (st. 3). The theme of God's protection of Zion links this psalm with 46 and 48 (see also 84, 87, 122, 125, and 137). The versification is significantly revised from that in the 1912 Psalter.
Liturgical Use:
Beginning of worship; celebrations of God's victories over the enemies of his kingdom.
--Psalter Hymnal Handbook
F. Pinder composed TEMPLE BORO, published as a setting for Psalm 76 in the 1912 Psalter and in every edition of the Psalter Hymnal. Nothing is known about the composer or the origin of the tune. TEMPLE BORO's three long lines have identical rhythms. Interesting facets of this music are its wide melodic range, its harmonization (undoubtedly intended for choral singing), and the climax in the final line. Strive for three long lines; avoid six choppy phrases.

Tuesday Coffee Club
The April 2 meeting of the coffee club was opened with "What Happens in Heaven When We Pray," read by chairwoman Sandy Weller. This was followed by roll call, answered with a memory of an April Fool joke. Minutes were read and corrected.
The first order of business was the proposal to suspend dues for one year and for each member to give $1 to the community center at each meeting held there. These proposals were unanimously approved.
The nominating committee presented the following slate of officers for the new year beginning in September: chairwoman, Vivian Griffith; co-chair, Sharon Niffenegger; treasurer, Judy Donaldson; and secretary, Joyce Taylor. These candidates were accepted by voice vote.
A signup sheet was passed for members to indicate their choice of date to serve at the summer coffees and also for the monthly meetings of the new year.
An amusing story, "The Worst Case," was read by Jean Cousins. "Spring" was read by Vivian Griffith.
Refreshments were served by Charlotte Magdefrau and Vernetta Crawford.
The next meeting will be held at 1 p.m. April 16 at the community center.

Radio Waves
Radio waves are known to have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. There are many benefits in Radio Waves. One of the benefits is communication. Radio waves can help with communication by letting the astronauts out in space able to reach and talk to the people on earth. Another benefit is better navigation. Radio waves have enabled better navigaton on aircrafts and ships. They send signals and then they recieve them from the reflection. The third benefit is increase in accuracy. By using radio waves people are able to monitor and control certain industrial inviroments. There aren't many negative factors or health precautions for radio waves except for if you have large amounts of radio waves in you it can cause dissorders like cancer, lukemia in particular. Some future possibilities for radio waves are mostly in radio astronomy wich has lead us to find out about pulsars, quasars, and radio galaxies.

Tuesday, Louisville officially joined the ACC and in addition to meeting its new league partners, we thought you might like to learn a little something about the conference, too.
1. South Carolina was a charter member. Founded near Greensboro, N.C., in May 1953, the ACC originally had University of South Carolina among its members. The Gamecocks were part of the seven-school group that withdrew from the Southern Conference and made their own league. University of Virginia joined in December of that year, forming an eight-team nucleus that lasted until 1971, when South Carolina left the league to become independent and eventually join the Southeastern Conference.
2. The first "conference expense" was $200. In a league with television contracts delivering an estimated $20 million-plus to its members, the initial dues among the seven original ACC members was a measly $200. Back then it wasn't such a small number, but $200 now could buy you a 32-inch high-definition television or about 200 cans of Coke.
More: The ACC move: What it means
3. The first commissioner brought Arnold Palmer to Wake Forest. The league's first leader, Wake Forest athletic director Jim Weaver, built up the Demon Deacons' golf program and helped recruit golf legend Arnold Palmer, who played there briefly before joining the Coast Guard.
4. Miami's the youngest school. The home of the Hurricanes was established in 1925, making University of Miami the youngest of the 15 ACC schools. The Coral Gables school started classes a year later, with 372 students enrolled in the university's maiden class.
5. Clemson's basketball struggle. One of the original members of the ACC, Clemson hasn't exactly run over the league's men's basketball teams. The Tigers have won one regular-season ACC title since 1953 and zero ACC men's basketball tournaments.
6. Only three charter members have football titles since 1991. Florida State joined the ACC in 1991 and started competing for league titles in 1992. Clemson won the 1991 and 2011 ACC football championships, and Wake Forest won the 2006 title. No other original members have won a league football championship in that time span, with the league dominated by FSU and Virginia Tech, which joined in 2004.
7. Technically, Louisville is the league's most populous home city. Boston College is in Chesnut Hill, Mass., and Atlanta proper is actually smaller population-wise than Louisville, which has expansive city limits. When we switch over to metropolitan areas, it's not close: The Boston metro area, according to the 2010 census, is the sixth-largest in the country, with 7.9 million people in the area. By comparison, Louisville has about 1.5 million in its metro area.
8. The ACC geographic area contains the most television households and largest population in college sports. It helps when the league stretches from Boston to Miami, and also has cities like Louisville, Pittsburgh and Raleigh in its expanse.
9. Notre Dame has the league's largest endowment. The Irish don't play ACC football -- their independence in that sport was pivotal in Notre Dame agreeing to join the league -- but they still have an estimated $6.3 billion endowment. That's about $1 billion larger than Duke, which ranks second in the ACC. Notre Dame's estimated endowment is still $1 billion more than the combined endowments of Clemson, FSU, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Miami, NC State, Syracuse and Wake Forest.
10. Wake Forest is the league's smallest school. The Winston-Salem university is the only ACC member with an enrollment under 10,000 students (including undergraduates and graduates). The largest school? FSU. And it's not really close.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Upgrading notebook
I've had my notebook for about two and a half years now and its starting to run slow and lag often. I noticed that the cpu usage when just browsing the internet is around 50%, when watching a movie around 70%, and when playing a video game or using a big program around 90%. The notebook has a relatively slow cpu speed (1.2GHz). Is it possible to put a new cpu in my notebook without replacing the motherboard as well? It also has 4gb of RAM which I am going to upgrade to 8gb soon. I don't really have money to buy a brand new notebook so I was just looking for ways to upgrade my current pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Two Fridays ago a seminar on Constitutional Reform the Process, was held at the University of Guyana. The event, which was well attended, was organized by the Carter Centre and facilitated by the British High Commission. The PPP and a cross-section of civil society were represented, but conspicuously absent was any APNU or AFC party or Government representatives. The discourse focused on why there should be constitutional reform and the process by which it should be undertaken. The event was not intended to have a formal conclusion but to have Guyanese ownership.
Many ills of the society that needed redress were identified. There were concerns that elected officials were interfering in the democratic right to protest, of political intermeddling in Amerindian affairs, of the need for equity in the society, of implementing the existing provisions of the Constitution, of educating young people about the issues, and everything in between. The debate around the issues raised was lively and energetic. The fact that the audience remained attentive and engaged throughout the three-hour event suggested that there is much interest in constitutional reform and scope for more debate.

Narciso Rodriguez Goes It Solo
>> After speculation that Narciso Rodriguez and his backers Liz Claiborne were parting ways was floated around last month, they confirmed their separation in a joint statement yesterday.
For the first time, Narciso, who launched his collection in 1997 thanks to a partnership with Aeffe SpA, will be financially independent, as Liz Claiborne has allowed him to buy back their stake — for a rumored $12 million — and regain all trademarks. This solo situation, assuming that his finances are all in order (before Claiborne invested, he was struggling to make ends meet; Donna Karan was sending rolls of fabric over), sounds ideal for Narciso — who has a notoriously difficult reputation.
The termination of his partnership with Claiborne is widely believed to be amicable, though, and Narciso is looking forward to his "independent time": "Our business is on target and we have full confidence in the future of the company. We are also enjoying tremendous success with our fragrances and are now exploring various licensing opportunities." Maybe his well-received Fall 2008 collection made the world of difference he needed, money-wise?

Get certified - Transform your world of work today
See all CSM courses near Los AngelesSee all CSM courses within California.
Scrum Inc.
Jeff Sutherland, PhD
Scrum Inc.
Date: 16-17 February, 2011
Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States of America
Regular Price: $1,800
This course is sponsored by the Scrum Training Institute and will be taught by Jeff Sutherland, Co-Creator of Scrum, and Agile Coach Scott Downey, owner of RapidScrum.com. While the Scrum Alliance provides a list of core concepts that must be covered in the class, each instructor creates his or her own material, allowing courses to differ based on the strengths, interests and experiences of the instructor.
In this course, participants will learn how to stop thrashing and start executing along with everything necessary for getting started with Scrum. There are very few rules to Scrum so it is important to learn its fundamental principles by experiencing them directly from those who have implemented the best Scrums in the software industry. Participants gain hands-on practice with the release backlog, sprint backlog, the daily Scrum meeting, tracking progress with a burndown chart and experience the Scrum process through a "59-minute Scrum" and the "XP Game" which simulate Scrum projects through non-technical group exercises.
A new section covering eight key Scrum metrics that tune and track your team's process improvement and maturity will be added for this course. These metrics, presented by Jeff and Scott at the Agile 2010 Conference, help teams gauge performance, highlight areas for improvement and provide a fully portable language for comparing your team's performance against other teams -- inside or outside of your organization. The material describes how to speed up the process of estimating without sacrificing accuracy, identify unhealthy trends, and answers questions such as:
The CSM course was formulated to train and certify ScrumMasters and is used worldwide for ScrumMaster training. Upon successful completion of the course and online certification exam, each participant is enrolled as a Certified ScrumMaster, which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional Certified ScrumMaster-only material and information are available.
You can receive 16 Professional Development Units (PDUs) for this course.
Course Material
Participants will receive course materials for review at the start of the course. A course syllabus is available at http://jeffsutherland.com/csmsyllabus.pdf.
Participants should read The Scrum Handbook by Jeff Sutherland (downloadable for free at http://jeffsutherland.com/scrumhandbook.pdf) or Ken Schwaber's book, Agile Project Management with Scrum before the class as we require you know the basic definitions of Scrum. Of course, there will be updated material and training exercises in the course which you cannot get from books.
All CSM courses are taught by Trainers approved by the Scrum Alliance. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.
Venue:The Olympic Collection Banquest & Conference Center11301 West Olympic BoulevardLos Angeles, CA 90064 United States of Americahttp://www.ocbanquet.comGet Directions
The course will run 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.
This course is equally suited for managers, programmers, testers, analysts, product managers, and others who are interested in working on or with a Scrum team. If you want to be as Agile as the best Scrum companies, anyone in your company can benefit from this training. It helps to have everyone understand and use the Scrum process for any project whether in sales, marketing, development, or support. You will leave with solid knowledge of how and why Scrum works. Through practical, hands-on exercises and small-group discussion you will be prepared to plan your first sprint immediately after this class.

Alastair Cook refused to be drawn on the future of Kevin Pietersen and whether he will be part of his plans for the rebuilding of the England team after the Ashes whitewash.
Cook confirmed he has been told by the England & Wales Cricket Board he will keep his job as captain and lead the rebuilding process which will start after the one-day series against Australia.
Cook has met with Paul Downton, the new managing director of England cricket, in Melbourne this week since the furore over Pietersen's future erupted in the aftermath of the Ashes whitewash.
Downton has told Cook he will continue as captain after hearing his plans for the rebuilding of the team. Cook turned down several opportunities to offer assurances to Pietersen and did not even refer to him by name during his press conference at the MCG.
"When you lose a series 5-0 a lot of things get thrown up and in your face as a captain," said Cook when asked directly if Pietersen has a Test future. "You start looking at everything and it is important we do that. We know that when we get home from the one day series there will be a lot of important decisions on how we want to go forward with this Test team, one day team, all that kind of stuff. But my focus has to be on us winning games in this one day series. We have a World Cup in 2015 in exactly same conditions we are going to experience here and that has to be given my full thought. Then after this series you go back on to how we rebuild the Test side."
Cook was asked if Pietersen has been a good influence in the dressing room. "I can't talk about what happens in dressing room at this precise moment in time. I refuse to do that," he said. "What happens in the dressing room has to stay in the dressing room."
When told his failure to back Pietersen could be seen as a rejection he replied: "You can regard it as you want."
The England management do not want to discuss the future of any player at the moment as they want to take time to make decisions.
Cook and Andy Flower have both passed up the opportunity this week to back Pietersen who learned on Friday he will not be retained for next year's IPL by the Delhi Daredevils.
He will now have to enter the player auction on Feb 12 if he wants to sign a new deal. England players have not attracted big bids in recent years due to their lack of availability caused by a clash with the English summer but Pietersen would boost his chances of matching his previous $2m deal if he announced before the auction he has retired from international cricket. That would free him to play the entire IPL season and cash in at the age of 33 on what could be his last big contract but last week he twice committed himself to playing for England until 2015.
With his own future as captain safe, Cook can now plan for the next step. The absence of Pietersen may help him grow in the role and stamp his authority on a dressing room where he will be the most senior player.
"It is reassuring," he said about being told he will stay on as captain. "I have had a couple of meetings with Paul Downton and Andy before he went home. It is nice knowing that I have the opportunity to make amends as a captain. I am desperate to try and do it. The challenge is whether I am good enough to do it and we will see over the next few years or however long."
Cook is clear he wants Flower to be part of that process. "He's a fantastic coach with a very good record. It's important that he's got to want to carry on. Just seeing what he's said in the media he desperately wants to do that. That's great news for us. We've got a lot of hard work ahead of us.
"I would be wrong if I said I have not been lying in my bed over the last week or so thinking about stuff I would like to do, how I would like to lead this side forward and the decisions that go with that.
"We maybe need to change a lot of things. It's been a real reality check for us. When you win games of cricket it might paper over that. When you lose like we've lost 5-0 in the series it gives you a chance to have a blank sheet of paper and really start afresh, but knowing what we've got is still a good starting point with a lot of experience and quality in that team."
The first step for Cook is regaining some semblance of form himself before the five match one-day series ends and he takes a break from international cricket until the start of the English summer. Winning the one-day series, which starts on Sunday at the MCG, with a young team will be hard but new faces have plenty to play for by impressing Cook over the next three weeks.
"There are a lot of guys who haven't been affected personally by the 5-0 so there is an upbeat nature and excitement at the start of the series as you'd expect. Hopefully those guys can drag the other guys with them.
"We came here to win the Ashes and take them home. Now we have lost them if we win this series we will salvage some pride from our performances. It is an exciting time for a lot of these young players in this side. They know they have a World Cup in a year's time. After seeing what happened to the Test team they will be thinking there are a lot of places up for grabs."

Major accident averted between Air India, Indigo flights at Delhi's IGIThe incident took place around 11 am when Goa-bound Air India flight number 156 was about to take off and IndiGo flight 6E-398 from Ranchi was landing on the same runway.
A potentially catastrophic collision between two flights of Air India and IndiGo was averted at the last moment today morning at Delhi's busy IGI Airport.
The incident took place around 11 am when Goa-bound Air India flight number 156 was about to take off and IndiGo flight 6E-398 from Ranchi was landing on the same runway.
The Air India flight with 120 people onboard was rolling at almost 185 km per hours when the pilot was forced to abort the take off.
Lack of communication at the Air Traffic Control (ATC) was perhaps the reason behind the mishap, though there has been no official word on it yet.
FLASH: Air India and Indigo flights come face to face at Delhi airport runway, mishap averted due to ATC communication. pic.twitter.com/1XL0TgJty1— ANI (@ANI) April 7, 2017
The Air India flight, Airbus A-320, had to return to the terminal for rechecks of the emergency equipment before taking off for its destination.
As per reports, the Air India flight was set to take off from the runway number 27 and IndiGo plane was making a landing at the runway number 28.
Both the runways of the IGI can't be used simultaneously as they merge at a point towards Dwarka side. When the ATC learnt about the timings of both the flights, it immediately directed the Air India pilot flight Capt. Amit Tyagi to reject the take off.
The IGI Airport is one the busiest airports in the country. It is spread over an area of 5,106 acres and operates 800 flights daily (approximately).

Paper Mill is replacing "The Song of Lucy and Jessie" with "Ah, but Underneath," a number written for the 1987 London production. "The feeling there was that 'Lucy and Jessie' was an interesting song, but it never really made a journey, and I think that when they rewrote the number for London, they wanted to emphasize the fact that Phyllis, who does it, had made her whole life a facade. 'Ah, but Underneath' is a strip, so she's stripping away her facade and really finding out that there may be nothing underneath when she gets it all off. There's nothing else like that number in the show, and it's certainly the kind of thing that was typical of the old follies."
Paper Mill is also merging into a single couple (danced by Donald Saddler and Natalie Mosco) the two pairs of dancers featured on Broadway. "Having two couples dissipated the effect of this metaphor of dancing through the years and through life. This one couple, whose marriage has lived through it all, has found their 'glue' through their dancing, and instead of their popping in for a single number, they're now threaded through the entire evening."
Johanson says he and Goldman have also worked to clarify the "ghost story" aspect of the book, which had each of the aging showgirls represented by a younger counterpart of herself, a performer dressed in black and white, wearing ghostly pale makeup. "The original production, I think, was a little confusing as to what the 'ghosts' were and what they were doing," Johanson says. "We've tried to make that clearer and more 'present' in the production."
"What Jim has done is to emphasize all the people who have passed through
midlife and are embracing every day as a party."

Apple released a new Get A Mac ad during American Idol last night. Now online, it's title is "Office Stress."
The synopsis: PC gives Mac a gift, saying that now that Office 2008 is available for the Mac, Mac should have the gift. Upon opening it, Mac is confused, and PC reveals that is a stress toy. He says that because Mac will be doing a lot more work now, he will need one. The fun gets started when PC gives examples of when one might be stressed: "Oh, Mac just got the latest version of Office [squeeze] Mac can do all the work stuff you can do [squeeze] I want to transfer all my files to Mac [squeezing hard]" As the iMac still comes on at the end of the commercial, we hear PC say "Give it a squeeze!" in an irritated voice, and a popping noise as the stress toy pops.

The performance of the cerebral state index (CSI) in reflecting different levels of isoflurane anaesthesia was evaluated in ten cats subjected to four end-tidal isoflurane concentrations (EtIso), each maintained for 15 minutes (0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6%, or 2.0% EtIso). The CSI, hemodynamic data, ocular reflexes, and eye position were recorded for each EtIso concentration. Pharmacodynamic analysis of CSI with EtIso was performed, as well as prediction probability analysis with a clinical scale based on the eye reflexes. The CSI values showed great variability. Between all parameters, burst suppression ratio showed the better fitting with the sigmoidal concentration-effect model () followed by CSI () and electromyographic activity (). EtIso was the variable with better prediction of the clinical scale of anaesthesia (prediction probability value of 0.94). Although the CSI values decrease with increasing isoflurane concentrations, the huge variability in CSI values may be a strong limitation for its use in cats and it seems to be no better than EtIso as a predictor of clinical signs.

It's your kids 13th birthday and they now are technically old enough to setup a facebook account but should they?
This is the debate that has been going on in my little social circle. Parents who have practically no social media experience are now being asked to police kids social media activities. Parents hear stories about how facebook and twitter give the outside world too much access to their kids but just like any activity, you need to put on the training wheels first before they ride the bike. Your kids will need Social Media training wheels too.
Social Media is huge and is not going away. Teach your kids how to manage it now or they will jump on without you knowing and create a mess. It's kind of like having the "Talk", you know, the birds and the bees "Talk". If you don't have the "Talk" with your kids one of their friends will have it with them first. So you will need to have the social media talk too.
I prefer Twitter Accounts for Kids
Yes, I prefer twitter over facebook on so many levels. Number 1 is security. On twitter either everyone has access to your child's account or no one has access until approved. No complicated privacy settings in twitter. What you see is what you get. You can see who your child is following and who is following your child.
I Prefer Private Twitter Profiles for Kids
Private Twitter Profiles are like training wheels for kids. It allows them to use the service without being searchable which is a huge plus. I won't go into detail about how marketers target users on twitter using SEO and get all technical on you. As a longtime user of Social Media, a twitter account is much easier to monitor than a facebook page.
Here are a few reasons twitter lists as why you would want to keep your twitter profile private:
- People will have to request to follow you and each follow request will need approval
- Your Profile and Tweets will only be visible to users you've approved, meaning that other users will not be able to retweet your Tweets
- Protected Profiles' Tweets will not appear in Twitter search
- @replies sent to people who aren't following you will not be seen
- You cannot share permanent links to your Tweets with anyone other than your approved followers
So, Mom, Dad, follow your kids on twitter. Have their tweets sent directly to your phones. It's, by far, the easiest way to monitor their social activities
As for Facebook…
I have never been a huge fan of facebook. It's the one social media platform I have been on the longest but the privacy settings drive me nuts.
Facebook technically allows a child to setup an account and block Mom and Dad from viewing most anything. There could be a folder in pictures that you can't see or certain status updates you could be blocked from. With the many.many, many levels of privacy settings in facebook you have to wonder how a parent with no social media skills could possibly monitor their kids on facebook?
A tech savvy child could give his parents the illusion they are seeing their child's whole profile but in reality they are only showing you the part they want you to see. So I won't be going into facebook here, maybe another day.
But that is my opinion… A twitter account should be used first before a facebook account until you feel comfortable knowing your kids know how to conduct themselves online.
This was my first posting for a new column I am working on for Patch.com. Check it out here…
Any Questions?

" The Key Confessional"...I'm the only one out here""
Aside from S2, there has always been a "Key Confessional". In the past seasons we have always been treated to some sort of clue in the very first episode of Survivor. In the form of a confessional (or lack thereof, which applies to S2 only). Just to re-hash the past...S1 Rich's "You might as well write me the check" confessional.S4 Sean (to Vee)"A black person will never win Survivor". S5 Brian "I'm here on a business trip". For S2 we got the "dog that never barked" theory referring to the fact that Tina had no confessional in the first episode (A survivor first and only...at the moment). Or S3 where Kim J. said, "Whoever decided to dump the water will probably win", referring to Ethan. I bring this up only as a compatriot of "pride cometh" yet a totally different ending. Where "pride cometh" is a symbolic fate thing, wherein Brian and Alex say nothing negative. Or someone falls prey to foreshadowing.Key confessional is the symbol. Where Brian says, "I'm the winner" yet, in different words. This season has everyone talking about things at camp or things concerning the other tribe whether negative or not, none of them spoke as much truth (or with as much symbolism) as Christy's comment in confessional "Doesn't anyone care that I am the only one out here". Pretty foreboding, a statement. Yes? No one else had anything even similar. The comment's context referred to her being left out of a "tribal" decision. Question is "Would anyone care if she were the only one left?" Not to hard to pick the deaf girl as the winner at the moment. She seems to be riding a crest of popularity from all the peeps, spoiler and non.Yet how many actually think she can last past a couple of boots. At the moment, as far as the women are concerned, no one wants to talk to her. Not one of them is adapting to the FACT that they have a deaf girl on their tribe. The women have shunned her (aside from the niceties of Deena and Janet). Christy left the ball in their court, it's up to one of them to hook up with her, and best to do it...before the men do. Who ever sides with Christy is "Golden". Just to tie in, I even think she may be the woman who doesn't start out as attractive...yet becomes the most attractive woman left.

Stratasys has published a new white paper on fused deposition modeling (FDM) and PolyJet inkjet printing.
FDM, conceived and patented by Stratasys, and PolyJet inkjet printing, patented by the former Objet Ltd., are now companion products. According to Stratasys, while there is crossover in applications and advantages, these two technology platforms are "distinctly different and bring unique benefits." The new white paper helps explain the differences between them, and provides guidance on selecting the right technology for a given application.

Amateur fossil hunters and beach goers on teh south coast are putting their lives at risk by ignoring warnings and closures at cliff edges.
Coastguards say large sections of England's fragile south coast is crumbling into the sea, with landslides caused when heavy rainfall mixes with soft stone and rock to create ''a potentially deadly porridge''.
Around a quarter-mile of Swanage Bay in Dorset, along the Jurassic Coast, has begun crashing into the sea this weekend, while Lyme Regis is among the areas also being carefully monitored by emergency services following days of torrential rain.
The potentially deadly combination of heavy rainfall and fragile rockface was brought into sharp focus this summer following the death of 22-year-old Charlotte Blackman from Heanor, Derbyshire, who was on holiday when part of the cliff at Burton Bradstock collapsed and crushed her.
Yet the following day, people were still sunbathing below overhanging cliffs within a short distance of where Miss Blackman died.
Despite the best efforts of coastguards and other emergency services, people are ignoring warnings about the perilous nature of the coastline.
Philip Chappell, a coastguard in Weymouth, said: ''Parts of the Jurassic Coast are notoriously fragile, particularly following this bad weather.
''The amount of rain we've had recently is turning parts of the cliff into a potentially dangerous porridge.
''The professional fossil hunters are no problem, they know the risks - but the amateurs don't really have a clue.''
In Swanage, local coastguards are keeping a watch on areas near the beach and beach huts as sections of cliff continue to move, and on Portland a section of coast path on the west of the island is particularly vulnerable.
Further west, sections of beach and cliff near Charmouth have suffered from cliff falls and mudslides.
Simon Dennis of Portland Coastguard said: ''With the poor weather continuing, we're dealing with a number of landslips and mudslides along the Devon and Dorset coastline.
''In Lyme Regis, coastguards and Dorset Police are dealing with an area to the west of the town, with very significant movement, including buildings overhanging the cliff edge.''
Earlier this week, an amber landslide warning was put in place by the British Geological Survey for the South West, who urged walkers to take care along coastal routes.

Damariay Drew is still pretty sure he's going to honor his commitment to Cal but with the recent coaching changes and some other late interest coming in the Livermore, Calif., prospect is really considering all his options.
Drew is mainly interested in two Pac-12 schools - Oregon and Washington - but is open to hearing from others as well.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound three-star prospect visited Washington this past weekend and has an offer from the Huskies.
Article Continues Below
Former Cal assistant coaches Tosh Lupoi and Eric Kiesau have left in the last couple days for Washington and Drew said it's something to consider as signing day gets closer.
This weekend, Drew, who emerged late in the recruiting process, is going to visit Oregon. The Livermore prospect said he's not sure what's going to happen in his recruitment until after his trip to meet with the Ducks' coaching staff.
"Washington offered and coach (Lupoi) leaving is a big shock," Drew said. "I'm kind of waiting to see what everyone else is going to do and I am still looking at Oregon.
"I just went up (to Washington) for my visit and it was really nice so I'm not really going to know where I'm going until after I check out Oregon."
Drew, who also has an offer from Nevada, rushed for 1,291 yards and 17 touchdowns on 157 carries in his senior season.
He also recorded a team-high 79 tackles, registered three sacks and had one interception. The three-star averaged almost 28 yards per kick return.
Drew is being recruited as an athlete since he can play on either side of the ball and can also contribute on special teams.

Ifrs, Us Gaap Or Romanian Regulations Can They Become One?
In a period when convergence is the main driving force of IASB and FASB programmes, who needs a comparison of the two sets of standards-IFRS issued by IASB and US GAAP issued by FASB? Aren't they mainly the same after 5 years of hard work of those who establish the two sets of standards? The answer lies in the fact that mostly all people who work in a multinational company has to understand the present differences between these two sets of standards. A combination of the convergence of the national standards with the IFRS and the follow-up use of IFRS standards would mean that the two accounting languages from all over the world should be reduced rapidly only to IFRS and US GAAP. Although these two sets of standards are more and more similar to each other, they are not totally identical-yet. And until they become identical it will be necessary to state clearly and explain the differences that exist between them.

Georgia offensive lineman Kolton Houston, who has yet to play in college after testing positive for a banned substance by the NCAA, is no longer listed on Georgia's official football roster, but his status with the team remains the same.
"I'm still on the team," Houston said in a message to the Athens Banner-Herald. "I'm just waiting to get cleared before I start practicing."
The school still hopes Houston will become eligible to play.
"Kolton is currently not working out with the team, which is the same as has been the case since his NCAA eligibility has been in question," team spokesman Claude Felton said via email Thursday morning. "But his status is the same as last fall. He's still on scholarship and work (is) still being done to restore his eligibility as has been the case the last 2-3 years."
Houston has remained ineligible for testing positive for a performance enhancing substance banned by the NCAA. Georgia has said that Houston was unknowingly given a substance banned by the NCAA — the anabolic steroid Norandrolone — after sustaining a shoulder injury playing for Buford High School.
Houston, who first tested positive in April 2010 after enrolling for the spring semester, practiced with the team last fall while trying to reach an appropriate threshold that would restore his eligibility, but was away from practice at times as well.
"It's been tough on him to go this long and not get a chance to play," Georgia coach Mark Richt said in December. "We're in a situation where whether he plays or doesn't play he's part of our 85 (scholarship) number. We can't medically give him a DQ on this thing. He's either going to make it or he's not but in the meantime he counts in the 85. If he ever gets to the point where he reaches whatever threshold they're looking for and he still wants to play then we want him to play. It will be up to him."
Georgia last August released 19 pages of documents to the media, including five letters related to his appeal. In a letter of appeal to NCAA president Mark Emmert last July, Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity called it "very disappointing" that Houston's eligibility remained in question despite no evidence of re-use.

Cannibal Cop Case: Bail Denied for Co-Defendant of NYPD's Gilberto Valle (VIDEO)
The co-defendant in the so-called "Cannibal cop" case has been denied bail on Monday. The 22 year old car mechanic, Michael Vanhise's plan to kidnap, rape and kill women across New York, along with NYPD officer Gilberto Valle, was found to be more than just an Internet fantasy, as the defense had claimed.
Prosecutors had said that the auto mechanic had confessed to the FBI about the cannibal plot, and Vanhise was ordered to be detained by U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman just three days after being arrested for planning the horrific attacks with Valle.
Former NYPD officer Valle, 28, will have his trial in a Manhattan federal court in just to weeks time. Charges claim that he planned to abduct, rape, murder and cannibalize his victims - young woman across the New York area.
Vanhise's attorneys said at Monday's hearing that no people were hurt in the incidences, and they further claimed that Vanhise had tried to want authorities about others taking part in online discussions about the plot.
The judge, according to reports, was convinced by prosecutors' arguments that Vanhise had confessed to FBI agents on Friday that he meant to carry out the plot with Valle. Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall Jackson insisted that although Vanhise had been speaking to the FBI since all the way back in October, he had made a confession on Friday that he had intended to carry out the plot with Valle.
It was also claimed that Vanhise had even conducted surveillance of some of the intended targets of the plot.
Jackson said, "He goes far beyond any fantasy," according to CBS News. He further revealed that Vanhise had haggled with Valle about the fee for kidnapping a Manhattan woman.
Although the defense has argued that Vanhise had reported others to police about the plot and online discussions, prosecutors have said that there are no police records verifying his claims to have made any such reports.

William C. �Bill� Friday was born in Virginia, but he was North Carolina through and through. But that simple truth really only scratches the surface of a vast legacy left by one of the towering giants in education not only in our state, but in the nation.
Friday, who headed the University of North Carolina system for 30 years before settling in as its president emeritus, died Friday at age 92. And even though he suffered periods of poor health over the past couple of years, he remained a central figure for higher education in North Carolina while also continuing to host the popular �North Carolina People� on UNC-TV.
Friday�s list of accomplishments is truly extraordinary. He served as president of the 16-campus university system from 1956 to 1986 � taking the job at age 36 � and is considered a pioneer and shaper of the modern, multi-campus system now common in nearly every state. During his tenure, the university system grew and achieved a national reputation for academic excellence and innovation in higher education. Evidence of Friday�s influence can be seen statewide on university campuses from Asheville to Wilmington. Part of his legacy is a 10-year fight with the federal government to protect programs at historically black universities and colleges, a move that kept a college education readily available to all.
He was a consolidator who forged a sense of community in the university system, friends and colleagues said. It fact, it could be noted that few if any ever had anything bad to say about Bill Friday. That, itself, is an amazing achievement in a critical age when almost everyone has vocal and visible detractors.
�He was part of the conscience of North Carolina,� Virginia Newell told the Winston-Salem Journal. Newell met Friday through her work representing Winston-Salem State University to the UNC system. �He showed that by trying to include a lot of people, black and white, young people and older people. He loved to bring out the good in North Carolina.�
Born in 1920 in Raphine, Va., Friday�s family moved to North Carolina when he was a child and he grew up in Gaston County. He graduated from what would become N.C. State University with a degree in textile manufacturing. Later, after a stint in the Navy, he got his law degree from the University of North Carolina and joined the school�s administrative staff. While in that role, he was instrumental in establishing the Atlantic Coast Conference. His interest in athletics didn�t wane over the years, even though he expressed concern over the potential damage campuses face from it. In retirement, he helped found the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.
Friday navigated university politics, presided over the university system during years of growth and upheaval, navigating treacherous waters with a style described as amicable and understated � and most of all, smart and forward-looking.
Gaston College President Pat Skinner characterized Friday as �a very, very knowledgeable, intelligent person� who was well respected in the community. Friday visited the Dallas campus numerous times.
�It�s such a loss for all of North Carolina�s higher education. He was just a great advocate for higher education. He had such wisdom,� she said.
�He was a real hometown boy, if you will. He had good memories of how Gaston College got started,� Skinner said. �He certainly is leaving a legacy not only to Dallas but to the state and to the nation.�
Friday�s biographer, William Link, author of �William Friday: Power, Purpose and American Higher Education� said there are few college administrators of Friday�s caliber today.
�He was very unlike the kind of university presidents we have now, who are CEO types and no one has access. Bill Friday, everyone had access to. But he managed it in a very cool way,� Link told the Winston-Salem Journal.
Like we said, North Carolina through and through.
