'Felipe Salles has truly taken a step into the future with this CD. He has found a way to incorporate the rich musical heritage of his native country, Brazil ( with more than a nod to the genius Hermeto Pascoal), while at the same time incorporating sounds and colors from the advanced harmonies of 20th century contemporary classical music. Possessing a gift for orchestration and arranging, Felipe's music is definitely pointing to the future.' David Liebman Liner notes Brazilian music has established itself as one of the richest mother lodes of inspiration for musicians from all over the world. It is sophisticated in it's melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and lyrical aspects, and by now most people have become familiarized with some of the works of Jobim, Moacir Santos, Villa Lobos and other Brazilian composers. Many other musicians from all over the planet have incorporated Brazilian elements into their music, showing the influence of bossa nova or samba jazz in their work. This is not what Felipe Salles' excellent new work is all about. As a Brazilian saxophonist and composer, he has gone deep inside the wellsprings of our culture, much deeper than most people have gone. He is not interested in showing that he knows the music well - no points to be proven here. He speaks the true language of Universal Music, reaching both inside the little known regional aspects of maracatu, frevo and choro as well as the outer reaches of contemporary harmonic and rhythmic languages. The record is totally Brazilian in it's sound, but it achieves this by the natural use of native forms, employed in an intuitive way. Over these basic strata, Felipe has carefully built elaborate layers of instrumental voices and textures, chosen wisely an excellent group of musicians who are both equally adept at interpreting his charts as at interacting freely through the language of modern improvisation. The result is satisfying in many levels. At times the listener is reminded of the subtle textural arranging work of Gil Evans or Astor Piazzola (as in the mysterious intro to Family Ties), at times of the wild flights of fancy of the sorcerer of sounds Hermeto Pascoal (as in Seven Days). Anyone who is familiar with the works of these great creators knows very well that their music is inimitable - there are no short cuts to the core, other than by meticulous and dedicated musical practice and discipline. And it is here that Felipe Salles excels. His seriousness and devotion to the musical art are present in each note, without sounding contrived or taking himself too seriously. His playing on a wide variety of saxophones, flutes and clarinets is refreshing and expressive, challenging the listener to embark with him on a journey through many colors and moods. Another characteristic of a true creator of universal music is the ability to engage and inspire musicians from other cultures than one's own to join and partake of the essence of the music. This is evident in the ensemble work of this recording, where the participants show their willingness to gather under Felipe's ideas, without ever giving up their individual musical thumbprints. Jacam Manricks on woodwinds, Joel Yennior on trombone, Nando Michelin on piano and melodica, Fernando Huergo on bass, Bertram Lehmann on drums, Rogerio Boccato on percussion and Laura Arpiainen on violin prove to be an excellent team, creating a consistent sound within the diversity of Felipe's compositions. Overall, I am very pleased by this work. It satisfies all my musical needs: interesting writing, inspired playing and challenging ensemble work. I totally recommend it to anyone who is in search of quality in today's music panorama. Quebre tudo, Felipe! Parabéns! Jovino Santos Neto.

Renewal and refurbishment of an anonymous existing building without any interest, was developed by exploring the double height until the roof for the creation of a mezzanine space.
The building functions as a residence, this proposition is developed in a philosophy that do not imply substantial alterations in the main volume, only the rise of the roof top, as well as the redesign of the roof itself, in order to guarantee the continuity of the St. Catherine's alley. In the remaining construction, we consider a new occupation, demolishing the small compartments and creating an only and new space (kitchen/laundry and garage) with an interior courtyard.
The conception of the exterior volume is influenced by the harbor terminals pavilions made in metal structures and coated wood.
The house identification equally appears as an influence of the wood stored in the port and how is identified, with references that normally are painted to identify the lots with big colorful numbers.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Justin Blackmon won't be able to plea out of his suspected DUI charge to a lesser reckless driving charge, an Oklahoma district attorney said.
Blackmon blew a .24 and .26 on his breathalyzer test when he was pulled over last weekend in Stillwater, Okla. Those levels are three times the legal limit for the state of Oklahoma. Blackmon is charged with misdemeanor aggravated DUI. He pleaded not guilty those charges.
The Florida Times-Union reported on Monday that police said Blackmon was argumentative and when questioned by the police, Blackmon said, "I just flew in. I don't know why you are harassing me." Blackmon's hearing is set for July 24, which three days before the Jaguars are scheduled to open up training camp.
Blackmon also faces sanctions from the NFL if convicted.

Our guest blogger this week is Barbara Friedberg. she wants to "to educate, inspire, and motivate for wealth in money and life." Her advice in this post is targeted at the recent college graduate.
Your Four Million Dollars
Are you a 23 year old new college graduate making the average $46,000 salary? Are you feeling down about money and wondering how you will ever earn the "big bucks?" Do not despair.
With 3% raises each year, at age 65 you will have earned almost $4 million dollars throughout your lifetime, $3,773,067.00 to be precise. Take a moment and let that sink in. That's a lot of money.
Here's where you take a global view. Consider what type of life you wish to live and what you want to do with your FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. Of course, you can spend all your income as you go along. Or, spend some of it, give some to charity, and save some for the future. Maybe you'll have a bit less fun along the way and maybe not. Remember, wealth in life is not only about money!
Still confused about how to maximize living now and have some cash left for later? Here's some help with the decision-making.
Option 1: Spend it all along the way.
Choose this strategy and you forgo a comfortable retirement because you chose not to save. Your only retirement income will be social security, at a fraction of your prior salary! After age 65 you will be POOR.
Option 2: Spend some, give some to charity, and save 10% per year.
Invest that 10% per year in a diverse portfolio yielding 7% annually. At age 65 not only will you have your retirement income, but after 42 years, your modest annual contribution will have grown to $1,499,905.00 by age 65. And, don't forget, you will have social security income in addition to your million and a half nest egg!
That's correct; your 10% savings will grow to almost one and a half million dollars. How is that possible?
Year 1, save $4,600, it grows at 7% per year.
Year 2, salary increases 3% to $47,3800.00. You save $4,738 and it grows at 7% per year.
Year 3, salary increases 3% to $48,801.00. You save $4,880 and it grows at 7% per year.
Year 4, salary increases 3% to $50,265.00. You save $5,027.00 and it grows at 7% per year.
END OF YEAR CONTRIBUTION- ADD prior years End of year value
with 3% growth value With 7% return
1 $4,600 $4,922
2 $4,738 4922+4738=$9,660 $10,336
3 $4,880 10,336+4,880=$15,216 $16,281
4 $5,027 16,281+5,027=$21,308 $22,800
And so on..........
Your financial future is your decision. Is it worth saving to ensure a long and prosperous life? The choice is up to you.

The attorney for Maj. Nadal Hasan says his client, who is still on the military's payroll, can't find a bank that will cash his client's paychecks.
That's right -- Hasan, the man many hope to see face the death penalty in connection with last November's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, is still on the military payroll, and banks are turning him away.
Hasan is currently facing 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of premeditated murder in the shooting that killed and injured unarmed service members and civilians on Nov. 4, 2009.
The military said that until Hasan is no longer a service member, he will continue to be paid, and that all soldiers who are jailed prior to trial keep their income, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
"He is a major in the United States Army and will therefore be paid until he is no longer a major," Lt. Col. Chris Garver told ABC News. "So yes, he's still receiving payment."
Something about that -- especially because he is in the military and not a civilian -- just doesn't seem right. Maybe I am wrong, but if I were in jail awaiting trial on multiple charges of murder, I am pretty sure NBC wouldn't keep paying me and that someone else would be sitting at my desk every morning. Either way, military policy is military policy, and, while sitting in his Bell County jail cell, Hasan will soon have no place to keep or receive his "hard-earned" income -- a figure that the Statesman estimates to be a little more than $6,000 per month based on his age and rank, or about $54,000 of your taxpayer dollars since Nov. 4, the day of the shooting.
Last month, Bank of America terminated Hasan's account, according to the United Press International, and his lawyer hasn't been able to find any other bank that will do business with him. According to FoxNews.com, Chase Bank, BBVA Compass Bank, Fort Hood National Bank and the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, all have refused him as client.
The banks refusing to work with this individual, admittedly, I kind of like. After all, it's their choice who they do business with. The hearts of the bankers are, for once, in the right place.
But we have to remember what makes our judicial system so great. Hasan hasn't been found guilty of any crime yet, and we should all remember that every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a courtroom -- no matter how difficult that may be for us to wrap our brains around in this particular case, it's still true. It's not right to turn Hasan away while he is still under the presumption of innocence -- and I guess it's right to keep paying him while we wait for trial.
Hasan's attorney, John Galligan, told the Austin American-Statesman that the problem his client is having cashing his paycheck is a prime example of why he wants his pending trial moved far away from Fort Hood.
"How do you expect me to get a fair trial at Fort Hood if he can't even get a bank account?" Galligan said.
Galligan may be right, but I think that is a problem he will find that isn't exclusive to Bell County.
Hasan's pretrial Article 32 hearing, which is similar to a grand jury hearing for a civilian, is to begin again in October. It originally began on June 1, but was delayed for four months after the defense stated they needed more time for adequate discovery. The Article 32 hearing is required before a defendant can be put before a general court martial in a military court of law.
About that checking account -- the military is said to be working with Galligan to find a way to get Hasan his earnings.

Statistiques de Vent de Anse Bertrand, moyennes sur Toute l'Année depuis 2006
The graph illustrates how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical year. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 28044 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Anse Bertrand, located 30 km away (19 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the prevailing wind at Anse Bertrand blows from the NNE. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Anse Bertrand. Converseley, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average year, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 2% of the time (7 days each year) and blows offshore just 24% of the time (3 days in an average year). During a typical year wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was expected for only a single days at Anse Bertrand
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

As the first week of Island roads being in the hands of Island Roads draws to a close, Rebecca gives us an update on the installation of LED streetlamps. Ed
Work to replace street lights across the Island has begun, with a number of streets in Cowes being the first to be fitted with this energy-saving lighting solution.
The current street lighting across the Island is in variable condition and many columns and lights need to be replaced. As part of the highway service, Island Roads are installing new lights and columns to improve the look and feel of our roads and pavements and to improve safety where it is most needed to help reduce traffic accidents, crime and the fear of crime for all.
Herbert: "New lighting will be more reliable"
Paul Herbert, Island Roads Service Director, said, "Lighting is one of the greatest consumers of energy, Island Roads will be replacing all streetlights over the next three years converting to LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lamps.
"Due to the efficient nature of LED, this new lighting will be more reliable and once installed they will result in less lights out of service and will also support the Eco Island Vision."
Centrally controlled
As the new streetlights are installed they automatically connect to our central management system. They will be illuminated for the first 24 hours, until this system has been configured and will then return to normal operating mode.
Longer term benefits of this system mean that the lighting will be able to be controlled – dimming and enhancing our streets and public spaces in accordance with the IWC requirements.
Heritage lights
Heritage lights may also be replaced with new heritage style columns and lanterns of sympathetic appearance so residents will not see a change to the look of the street light itself.
However, the replacement lanterns will also contain a modern LED light source to continue to support this carbon efficient program of improvements.
Image of new lights in place added above and image below showing the street before the new LED lights were fitted.

Take this week's On The Line poll
This week we are asking:
"Do you support tougher gun control laws?"
Some believe that in the wake of many mass killings around the nation, tougher background checks and restrictions on certain kinds of clips or assault weapons would save lives. Others strongly feel that the Second Amendment should be interpreted to allow gun ownership with little or no government regulation.
Where do you stand?
See our attached chart for results from our recent On The Line poll, concerning Rockland's proposed moratorium on building projects for buildings over 50 feet tall.
Results from recent polls along with the latest online poll are always available in the upper left corner of the homepage at Knox.villagesoup.com. Just click On The Line to take the poll and see results. Results are also published each week in The Courier-Gazette. Email any questions or suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
It's very interesting, the polls generally show just the opposite of all the talk here. Silent majority.
Must have been NORO(North Rockland) residents, possible WERO(West Rockland) residents as SORO residents in the Pleasant Street area are against tall buildings.

Skyzoo ft. Chi-Ali - Jansport Strings (Remix)
At the very start of Brooklyn spitter Skyzoo's Jansport Strings he raps, "My mama prayed that I wouldn't be Chi-Ali/ Now my mama straight cause I wanted to be Chi-Ali." So I probably don't have to tell you how incredibly dope it is that Skyzoo was able to recruit the Bronx rapper for a newly-released remix of Jansport Strings, right? Jansport Strings (Remix) serves as the first record Chi-Ali has appeared on in quite sometime due to a 12-year prison sentence he recently served, but it's as if the newly freed emcee hasn't missed a beat on the 9th Wonder-produced cut. Jansport Strings (Remix) serves as merely a promotional single, but the original version of the record can be found on Skyzoo's Dream Deferred album, which is due out today and can be previewed and purchased via The DJBooth.

THIS 1979 PHOTO shows one of 60 U.S. hostages being displayed to the crowd outside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by Iranian hostage takers. At least two former U.S. hostages say they believe the bearded man, second from right, is Iranian president-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
AP Photo WASHINGTON -- President Bush said Thursday that "many questions" have been raised by allegations of some former American hostages that Iran's president-elect was one of their captors a quarter century ago.
"I have no information," Bush said in an interview with foreign reporters ahead of a trip to Scotland next week. "But obviously his involvement raises many questions." The hostage comments were first brought to light by The AP.
Bush's national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, said the administration has followed the career of Iranian president-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has been serving as the hard-line mayor of Tehran.
He said they are "looking to see what's in the files," but he would not disclose what the U.S. government may know about any role Ahmadinejad had in the 1979 hostage-taking crisis at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and whether he is one of the captors pictured in photos from the crisis.
"At this point no determination has been made," Hadley said. "We need to get the facts. These are allegations that have come forward. They are allegations at the present time."

IRAN'S PRESIDENT-ELECT Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is pictured Thursday in Tehran.
AP Photo
Former hostages Chuck Scott, David Roeder, William J. Daugherty and Don A. Sharer told The Associated Press that after seeing Ahmadinejad on television, they have no doubt he was one of the hostage-takers. A fifth ex-hostage, Kevin Hermening, said he reached the same conclusion after looking at photos. Associates of Ahmadinejad denied the president-elect took part in the seizure of the embassy or in holding Americans hostage.
The hostage-taking, which came in reprisal for Washington's refusal to surrender ousted Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi for trial there, contributed substantially to then-President Jimmy Carter's defeat by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election.
Militant students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on Nov. 4, 1979, and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. The shah had fled Iran earlier that year after he was overthrown by the Islamic Revolution.
At the State Department, spokesman Sean McCormack would not say whether the United States would attempt to discuss the situation directly with Iran. There are no direct U.S. relations with Iran, but diplomats from the two countries have participated in joint meetings involving other nations.
Some other hostages could not identify Ahmadinejad and several former students among the hostage-takers also said they did not believe that Ahmadinejad had taken part in it.
Ahmadinejad was a member of the Office of Strengthening Unity, the student organization that planned the embassy takeover, but he was opposed to taking the U.S. Embassy, several of his associates said.
One of his aides, Meisan Rowhani, told the AP from Tehran that Ahmadinejad was asked during recent private meetings if he had a role in the hostage taking. Rowhani said he replied, "No. I believed that if we do that the world will swallow us."
Rowhani said Ahmadinejad said during the recent meeting that he stopped opposing the embassy seizure after the revolution's leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, expressed support for it. But the president-elect said he never took part.
Mohammad Ali Sayed Nejad, a longtime friend of the president-elect, said that in 1979, "Ahmadinejad had focused his fight against communism and Marxism and he was one of the opponents of seizing the U.S. Embassy. He was a constant opponent."
Abbas Abdi, the leader of the hostage-takers, said Ahmadinejad definitely did not take part in the seizure. Abdi has since become a leading supporter of reform and sharply opposed Ahmadinejad. "He was not part of us," Abdi said.
Another of the hostage-takers, Bijan Adibi, said Ahmadinejad "was not involved. There was no one by that name among the students who took part in the U.S. Embassy seizure."
Adibi said it's clear from photos, which show a blindfolded American hostage next to a bearded man of about the same height, that the man could not be Ahmadinejad, who stands at 5 feet 2 inches.
"Look at every picture of Ahmadinejad today and he is at least a head shorter. In this picture this man is the height of the American," Adibi said.
Some former hostages couldn't be sure about their captors. Former Marine embassy guard Paul Lewis of Sidney, Ill., said he thought Ahmadinejad looked vaguely familiar when he saw a picture of him on the news last week, but "my memories were more of the gun barrel, not the people behind it."
"I cannot positively identify the individual. When I was interrogated, I was blindfolded and shackled," said Alan Golancinski, one of the former hostages who is retired and now lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Scott, Roeder, Daugherty and Sharer said they have been exchanging e-mails since seeing Ahmadinejad emerge as a serious contender in Iran's elections.
"He was extremely cruel," said Sharer, of Bedford, Ind. "He's one of the hard-liners. So that tells you where their government's going to stand for the next four to five years."

Air pollution - Outlook 2020 (Switzerland)
- Topic
- Air pollution
Emissions are projected to decrease to 2020
Under current policies, emissions of air pollutants will further decline towards 2010. After 2010, with continuation of current policies and additional measures, emissions of NOx, SO2, NMVOC and ammonia are expected to continue to decline.
Number of exceedances will strongly decline
With current and proposed national and international legislation and the expected effect on emissions, the number of exceedances will strongly decline by the year 2020.
Premature mortality from particulate matter is projected to decline further
If proposed national and international policies are put in place, the number of life-years lost will continue to decline to 2020. Where health effects are caused mainly by primary emitted combustion-related aerosols such as soot, health improvements may even be greater.
Critical loads may continue to be exceeded to 2020
While emissions of acidifying and eutrophying substances are expected to decrease, critical loads, particularly those for eutrophication, may still be exceeded in 2020.

Now, in my current efed up relationship, I know my WBF is far more skilled in technology, and has the time to cover his tracks. So it kills me. I don't think I will ever believe him.
I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I can honestly relate.
Them : in the past, where they can stay.
How does someone carry on for so long and not leave a trail.
1) Must be proficient at deception.
2) Uses work blackberry where there is no insight into phone bill.
3) Uses work computer.
4) Too cheap to buy anything for anyone or take anyone anywhere.
I also believe that my own inexperience with infidelity left me at a loss.
Sadly, I am SO MUCH SMARTER ~ I dare him to have an A and get away with it...Seriously, I DARE HIM!
The truth hurts, but I have never seen it cause the pain that lies do.

In the years between that incident and my DDay where I finally faced reality there were dozens of clues I either missed or chose to overlook or ignore. In my gut I knew, but I couldn't admit it to myself.
What cooked his 4 year A goose was the new IPAD he bought so we could control all the new gadgets in our house. What he didn't realize was that, when he synced it to his cell phone it sync up to all of the above mentioned. I was then blessed with 100's of emails and text threads, pictures......pure and utter hell.
Through thick and thin we will survive but he gets only one shot at it!

Just remembered another one. My ws best friend was having A with Ow best friend. I figured that one out. While watching our kids game, this best friend sat behind ws and I. Since
friend was coaching, I thought she was there spying on him. I told my ws, why is she here if their A is over. Well looking back, she was sitting behind us to report back to ow. My ws was barely speaking, squirming, and kept getting up to go to restroom. Wish I would have known, I would have slapped a Ho that day. There I was feeling bad for the other bs and how humiliated she would be if she knew but nope, joke was on me. I hate all those fuckers for that one

Jimmy Reed bounded off the mound and jogged toward the third base line during his final practice with the Maryland baseball team last month. And it's at that moment, sizing up the 6-foot Reed and wondering how a once-scrawny Atlanta Braves fan from Gaithersburg has become a mid-round MLB pitching prospect, that you realize the Terrapins' ace has been practicing with an open fly.
"Just a broken zipper," Reed explained, shrugging off a wardrobe malfunction discovered weeks before. He stopped worrying about what others thought long ago, like the high school opponents who mockingly shouted, "Bring out the L-screen," as if Reed were employed to hurl batting practice and nothing more.
That was 30 pounds ago, when Reed looked nothing like the left-handed workhorse who boasted a 2.33 ERA this season, with 22 strikeouts over his last two outings and consecutive ACC pitcher of the week awards, the first such achievement in program history. At this year's Major League Baseball draft, which begins Thursday, Reed might hear his name called on the second day, sometime before Round 15.
"No one's really surprised now," catcher Jack Cleary said.
Reed is equally unflappable when innings sour, revealing little emotion beyond facing the outfield, pounding his glove and shouting "Let's go."
"That's Example A as to how to handle things," Maryland Coach John Szefc said. "If you're a young guy, trying to figure something out, go hang out with that guy. Buy him lunch or do his laundry, because you need to get in that guy's head."
For years, Reed struggled with the issues for which younger teammates now seek counsel. He entered Maryland weighing 148 pounds out of St. John's in the District and labored to a 7.94 ERA over his freshman and sophomore seasons. Thanks to a nutrition program that required 4 a.m. wakeup calls to guzzle protein shakes, he's up to 180 pounds. His fastball now hovers around 90 mph, and he throws three other pitches — a change-up, curveball and cutter, his swing-and-miss pitch — with deadly accuracy.
After that rough start, Reed also devoted himself to studying baseball's mental components. "One hundred percent the most important part of the game," he said. Reed developed an extensive routine for starts, from day-of meals at Bagel Place (plain with cream cheese), Jimmy John's (the Country Club sandwich) and 7-11 (trail mix) to the water break he allows himself after exactly 20 pitches on the bullpen mound. Even on days off, teammates know what they'll get: an intensely focused observer, startling the Terps with unexpected caterwauls after big plays.
"He's really into the game, so sometimes he'll freak out," Cleary said. "Like not in a bad way. In a good way. It's funny. Sometimes we have to tell him, 'Easy.' "
Last spring, the New York Yankees drafted Reed in the 21st round after his eight saves tied for second-most in school history in 2012. He declined to sign, instead opting to play in the summer Cape Cod League and pitching eight games for the Orleans Firebirds before returning to College Park.
"Most importantly, I felt like I had something to prove," Reed said. "I didn't start the whole year, I felt like I could come back and be a Friday night starter in the ACC. . . . And I'm glad I did. I have no regrets at all."
At least seven scouts occupied the stands on May 16 for Reed's final start at Maryland. He struggled at first against Boston College, allowing three first-inning hits and a leadoff home run to Chris Shaw in the second. Reed then retired 11 straight Eagles , but runners reached second base in both the seventh and eighth.
Then emerged the dominant Reed, tough enough to close the eighth with back-to-back strikeouts, both looking, both on full counts. Having thrown more than 120 pitches with the Terps still down 2-1, Reed conferred with pitching coach Jim Belanger, deciding he had enough left to climb the mound one more time.
After striking out Stephen Sauter to start the inning — Reed's 11th of the game, which matched a career high — up stepped Shaw, the only Eagle to reach base twice. The lefty sliced a double down the left field line, and out stepped Belanger to pull his star. "I think inside, there were some emotions," the pitching coach said later, "but he's too much of a pro to show it right now."
As relief arrived from the bullpen and Reed surrendered the baseball, the Terps formed an aisle for high-fives and hugs. A modest crowd, including family members and friends, offered a standing ovation. By now the sky had turned an imperial purple as Reed walked through the tunnel, withdrawing into the shadow of the dugout.

That is exactly what I am finding out. Everyone thinks that the '08 LS is the same as the Outback hull but that changed in 2006 SC started using the LSV hull until they stopped building the LS last year. So I am pretty sure the set up is going to be some what different then the Outback. I have to start from scratch so I ordered a couple 750 sacs to start with. I'll let you know what I come up with. I sometimes feel like us LS owners are few and far in between. LOL
Harms, I have started a simular thread in the past and never really got the the answer I was hoping for. Let me know what you figure out. I'll do the same. I know that LS is capable of a great wake for surfing!

Jenson Button and Jessica Michibata 'delighted' as she sports HUGE diamond engagement ring
JENSON Button is set to marry his girlfriend of five years Jessica Michibata, it's been confirmed.
Not only has a spokesperson for Jenson spoke of the happy news, but Jessica has stepped out sporting her diamond engagement ring.
The Formula One driver, 34, clearly went all out for the proposal as Jessica's ring is of a pretty decent size and includes a tear-shaped rock.
The 29-year-old model looked happy and relaxed as she soaked up the sun in Bahrain today on day three of the Formula One Winter Testing.
Wearing dark broen skinny jeans, a beige jumper and large dark sunglasses, the Argentine-Japanese star listened to some music on her headphones as she sat in the paddock at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Jessica first met Jenson back in 2008 in a hotel bar in Tokyo, but originally turned down his advances after believing that he was a womaniser.
However, eight months later she gave in and began dating the British star, with their romance going from strength-to-strength.
Things became really serious when Jenson became Formula One World Champion in Brazil back in 2009 and dedicated his win to her, live on television.
Sadly, the pair split in 2011 but soon rekindled their relationship six months later and appear to be happier than ever.
The engagement has no doubt come at the perfect time following a tough few weeks after the sudden death of his father, John Button, who died last month aged 70.

contextual marketing
Contextual marketing is an online marketing model in which people are served with targeted advertising based on terms they search for or their recent browsing behavior. By tying the ads users see to their demonstrated interests, advertisers hope to decrease user annoyance with online marketing and, simultaneously, increase clickthrough and conversion rates. Google's AdSense program, for example, is a straightforward version of contextual marketing, in which ads are displayed based on the terms that the user searches for.
A Special 8-Part Guide on CEM Best Practices
Experts advise how to use new technologies to improve customer relations, increase profits, and keep up with consumers.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
In a more sophisticated application, contextual marketing uses an approach called behavioral targeting to serve relevant advertising. Here's an example: The user searches for mid-size car reviews, reads one or two reviews and then reads an article about fuel-efficient models. Next, the user might visit a general news site and be shown ads for hybrid vehicles and biofuels.
To the user, the appearance of ads relevant to his interests -- on seemingly unrelated sites -- may seem like pure coincidence, or even synchronicity. In fact, however, each time the user performs a search, reads an article or clicks on an ad, a cookie stored on the computer tracks the activity, which is used to create a behavioral profile of the consumer for marketing purposes.
Behavioral targeting is usually conducted throughout ad networks of affiliated Web sites. TACODA, Inc., for example, is an Internet marketing company that oversees an ad network of 4,500 sites. According to the company's chairman, David Morgan, TACODA sees 80 percent of the U.S. online population 50 times a month, through sites including Cars.com, CBS Sports and the Wall Street Journal.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/762,519, filed on Sep. 18, 1991.
The present invention relates to computer architectures including shared memory resources and, more particularly, to a memory buffer and buffer management technique for shared memory resources.
NCR Corporation has developed a scalable computer system architecture providing more effective scaling of multiprocessor performance than conventional system architectures. The scalable system architecture recognizes and overcomes many limitations of conventional system architectures, such as degradation caused by multiple processors sharing memory and memory busses, and overhead penalties associated with memory/cache coherency.
Key characteristics of this new architecture include: the use of multiple memory busses to reduce memory bus utilization and physical loading; the use of multi-ported memory to facilitate multiple busses and allow simultaneous use of different memory devices; the use of memory base coherency techniques that significantly reduce coherency overhead; and a symmetric view of system resources by all processors.
One implementation of this architecture employing dual system busses (12 and 14) and two dual-ported memory modules (16 and 18) connected between the system busses is shown in FIG. 1. Also shown in FIG. 1 are two Micro Channel� input/output (I/O) busses 32 and 42 and interface modules 28 and 30 connecting respective I/O busses 32 and 42 with the system busses. Thus, multiple bus masters, identified by reference numerals 34, 36, 38, 40, 44, 46 and 48 in FIG. 1, have access to memory modules 16 and 18. Arbitration systems may be employed to prioritize access to the system memory.
Each bus master which seeks read or write access with system memory may possess different memory transfer parameters for optimal operation. Memory caches and buffers can be employed to enhance memory transfer operations, but the wide variance in bandwidth requirements and performance characteristics among the bus masters makes it impossible to define a single buffer scheme that provides optimal performance for each bus master. For example, the Micro Channel bus architecture defines a high performance 80 Mbytes/second streaming transfer mode optimized for large block transfers. A bus master reading from memory using the streaming mode requires buffer logic which reads and buffers data from system memory relatively far ahead of the bus master. However, another bus master in the same system may only read a few bytes of information from the system memory every time it arbitrates for memory access. In this case, utilization of a buffering scheme which reads far ahead only to discard the bulk of prefetched data needlessly wastes system memory bandwidth.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and useful buffering scheme.
It is another object of the present invention to provide buffer control logic which selects the optimal set of buffer parameters for bus master to memory transfers.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide such buffer control logic which decodes bus master arbitration signals to select buffer parameters.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a new and useful memory buffer scheme which decodes arbitration signals associated with a plurality of Micro Channel� bus masters to optimize data transfers between any selected bus master and a shared memory resource.
There is provided, in accordance with the present invention, a method and apparatus for optimally configuring a data buffer within a computer system which includes a plurality of bus masters connected through a common bus and the data buffer to a shared resource, such as memory. Assigned to each bus master is a unique arbitration value for prioritizing access to the shared resource. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of storing buffer configuration parameter data for each one of the bus masters within a register file, decoding the unique arbitration level for a bus master controlling the bus to retrieve parameter data associated with the controlling bus master from the register file, and configuring the buffer in accordance with the retrieved mode data.
The apparatus as described herein is employed within an interface between a Micro Channel bus and a system bus providing access to one or more memory modules. The apparatus includes a latch connected to receive four-bit arbitration signals from bus masters residing on the Micro Channel bus, a register file programmed with specific data buffer parameter information for each Micro Channel bus master, and logic for decoding arbitration levels to retrieve from the register file parameter data associated with a bus master having control of the Micro Channel bus. A data buffer included within the interface is optimally configured in accordance with the parameter data retrieved from the register file.
The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and the attached drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram representation of a scalable system architecture for a computer system.
FIGS. 2A and 2B provide a block diagram representation of the addressing and arbitration logic included within Micro Channel interface module 28 of FIG. 1, including buffer control logic in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a simplified depiction of the data path structure included within Micro Channel interface module 28 of FIG. 1.
One implementation of a scalable system architecture for a computer system is shown in the simple block diagram of FIG. 1. As implemented, the architecture comprises dual system busses 12 and 14, two dual-ported system memory modules 16 and 18 connected between the two system busses, two processor modules 20 and 22 connected to bus 12, and two processor modules 24 and 26 connected to system bus 16. Also connected between the system busses are Micro Channel� interface modules 28 and 30.
Micro Channel interface module 28 provides connection between system busses 12 and 14 and primary Micro Channel I/O bus 32. Connected to bus 32 are various Micro Channel bus masters 34, 36, 38 and 40. Interface module 30 provides connection between system busses 12 and 14 and bus masters 34, 36, 38 residing on secondary Micro Channel I/O bus 32.
A block diagram representation of the addressing and arbitration logic included within Micro Channel (MC) interface module 28 is shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The interface module includes logic in addition to what is shown in FIG. 2 which has been omitted to simplify the present discussion. The omitted logic is not necessary for an understanding of the present invention.
The logic blocks shown in FIG. 2 include an arbiter 52 which senses and drives MC I/O bus 32 arbitration signals ARB(3:0) and arbitration/grant indicator signal ARBGNT-- L. The arbiter must arbitrate for control of I/O bus 32 during system bus initiated requests for access to the I/O bus. Arbiter 52 also conducts system bus arbitration and cycle generation on behalf of MC bus masters requesting access to system resources.
Logic elements utilized during system bus initiated cycles propagated to the MC I/O bus include latch 54 which is used to latch address, address parity and bus operation signals received from system bus 12, i.e. signals SB-- A(31:0), or system bus 14, i.e. signals SB-- B(31:0). The output of latch 54 is provided to a decoder 56 which detects whether or not the current cycle is directed to the MC I/O bus and generates start and decoded address signals for system bus slave module 58.
System bus slave module 58 controls the multiplexing of system bus address information to I/O bus 32, coordinates system bus data transfer activities, and controls the starting of MC bus master module 60. Upon receiving a start signal from module 58, MC bus master module 60 generates cycles on MC I/O bus 32 in accordance with the Micro Channel Architecture specification and coordinates MC I/O bus data transfer activities.
Logic elements utilized during MC I/O bus initiated cycles propagated to the system bus include latch 64, decoder 66, MC slave module 68, SB master module 70, and address FIFO 74. When MC interface module 28 is a slave on MC I/O bus 32, MC address MC-- A(31:0) is held within latch 64 to be propagated to decoder 66. Decoder 66 is responsible for decoding of MC cycles directed to the system busses and determining whether the system bus directed cycles are to be decoupled to allow write posting and read-ahead address information into address FIFO 74.
MC bus slave module 68 senses the MC bus signals received from decoder 66 to latch the current address, initiate propagation of the MC cycle to a selected system bus and coordinate MC I/O bus data transfer activity.
The system bus master module requests a system bus on behalf of a MC bus master and controls the system signals when MC interface module 28 is a system bus master on either one of system busses 12 or 14. System bus master module 70 communicates with address FIFO 74 and coordinates system bus transfer activities.
The data path structure included within Micro Channel interface module 28 is shown in FIG. 3. The structure includes a multiplexer 82 and steering logic 84 for directing data transfers between either system data bus and the MC bus. System bus data is identified as SA-- D and SB-- D. Micro Channel bus data is identified as MC-- D. Three data paths are provided by the architecture. For MC bus master initiated cycles, data is directed through a bidirectional buffer 86. During system bus master initiated write cycles data is provided from the selected system bus through a write-posting buffer 88 to the MC bus. Data is provided directly from the MC bus to the selected system bus via path 90 during system bus master initiated read cycles.
Interface module 28 provides buffering, or decoupling, between the system busses and the I/O bus 32. Data buffering at the interface module boosts total system bandwidth by allowing bus masters on both the system busses and I/O bus 32 to concurrently operate at their peak rates.
When a bus master on I/O bus 32 requires write access to system memory, it first must arbitrate for control of bus 32. Upon gaining control of the bus 32, the bus master transfers its data into bidirectional buffer 86 which functions as an eight 256-bit line FIFO line buffer. After filling one of the eight line buffers, MC I/O module 28 arbitrates for control of either one of the system busses and performs a burst cycle to move the buffer contents to system memory. Meanwhile, the master continues to write new data into the next line buffer.
During MC bus master reads from system memory buffer 86 functions as a read-ahead pre-fetch queue for the MC bus master. An MC bus master read cycle will cause the MC interface module to arbitrate for the system bus and fill buffer 86 with read data. The requested data is fed to the MC bus master as fast as possible while the buffer is filled.
The present invention provides a method and means for decoding MC arbitration signals to configure data buffer 86 for the most efficient operation with each bus master on the Micro Channel bus. The block diagram of FIG. 2A includes a latch 76, decoder 78 and register file 80 for performing this function. Latch 76 is connected to receive the Micro Channel arbitration signals ARB(3:0) and arbitration/grant signal ARBGNT-- L from the Micro Channel bus. Signals ARB(3:0) are latched and held when signal ARBGNT-- L is set to the grant, or LOW, state. Decoder 78 is connected to receive the output of latch 76 and retrieve from register file 80 stored data utilized to properly configure the data buffer. The retrieved data signals, identified as MODE(3:0), are provided to address FIFO 74 which coordinates the data transfer operation.
Arbitration signals ARB(3:0) are driven by bus masters residing on the Micro Channel bus when requesting ownership of the MC bus. Up to sixteen arbitration levels, binary values 0000 through 1111, are supported. The highest priority value for ARB(3:0) is binary 0000, the lowest is binary 1111.
ARBGNT-- L is set to the arbitration, or HIGH, state at the initiation of an arbitration cycle. Requesting bus masters then drive their 4-bit arbitration level onto the arbitration bus. When a requesting bus master sees a more-significant bit LOW on the arbitration bus, it stops driving its less-significant bits onto the arbitration bus. The bus master driving the lowest arbitration level, i.e. the highest priority value, thereby wins control of the bus. ARBGNT-- L is set LOW at the conclusion of the arbitration cycle. However, the arbitration level associated with the winning bus master remains on the arbitration bus.
It is this arbitration level remaining on the arbitration bus at the conclusion of the arbitration cycle which is utilized to optimally configure the data buffers. Because each MC bus master must have a different arbitration level assigned thereto, the ARB(3:0) signals uniquely identify the various bus masters. For each arbitration level, register file 80 is programmed with a mode value, MODE(3:0), that selects the optimal set of data buffer parameters for the bus master associated with the arbitration level. Thereafter in normal operation, when a particular bus master wins control of the bus, its arbitration level selects the appropriate entry in register file 80 to dynamically configure the logic controlling the data buffers.
Table 1, shown below, presents one possible scheme for utilizing register file 80 to specify the read-ahead policy for each MC arbitration level when MC interface module 28 is a slave to a MC bus master reading from system memory.
TABLE 1______________________________________MODE 3 MODE 2 MODE 1 MODE 0 DEFINITION______________________________________1 0 0 0 16 Bytes1 0 0 1 32 Bytes1 0 1 0 48 Bytes1 0 1 1 64 Bytes1 1 0 0 80 Bytes1 1 0 1 96 Bytes1 1 1 0 112 Bytes1 1 1 1 128 Bytes0 X X X One Bus Word______________________________________
In Table 1, mode bits 2, 1 and 0 specify the amount of data in multiples of full memory lines prefetched from main memory in response to a MC bus master read. Mode bit 3 enables and disables prefetching of data in excess of one bus word. Additional mode values may enable buffering of data being written from the MC bus master to system memory or enable 32-bit or 64-bit streaming for MC bus master initiated read and write operations.
It can thus be seen that there has been provided by the present invention a simple method and logic for optimizing memory read and write transfers between a plurality of bus masters and a shared memory resource. The invention when implemented with bus masters residing on a Micro Channel bus decodes standard four-bit arbitration values and the arbitration/grant signal defined by the Micro Channel architecture standards to identify the bus master controlling the bus and configure a data buffer connected between the Micro Channel bus and the shared memory resource in accordance with prestored configuration parameters associated with the controlling bus master.
Although the presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been described, it will be understood that various changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

Staffers at Bank Leumi, demanding stock options and bonuses as the government prepares to sell off its controlling stake, are launching an unusual industrial action. Beginning today, potential foreign investors in the bank will be advised through economic online media not to bid for Leumi for as long as there is no agreement with the workers. Most Leumi branches were closed yesterday at 11 A.M. as part of their protest at privatization, while the irate staff will shut the bank's headquarters, its call center and its computer center at Lod until 11 A.M. today.
Meanwhile, disgruntled managers and signatories at First International Bank have decided to launch a job action - beginning this morning, they will refuse to issue new credit cards, will not provide any foreign currency transactions, and will not refill the bank's ATMs.
"We gave management two months to reach an agreement on our demands, but the talks ended in a stalemate," Yona Goldshlagger, chairman of the staffers committee, said yesterday.
The senior staffers are demanding a bonus equal to one month's pay based on First International's profits in 2003 and 2004; additional overtime pay; and inclusion of workers at subsidiary Investec in the collective work agreement.
"We were surprised at the committee's renewing the industrial dispute and repeating its unreasonable demands, despite reaching an agreement that workers would receive bonuses on account of profits to be made in 2005," First International Bank management said yesterday.

Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is bringing animal traits into the game
When it comes to the 3DS exclusive Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, Natsume is going back to the basics.
(I'm going to go ahead and take up this space with fauning over how much I love the Harvest Moon series. I've invested more of my gaming time in these Harvest Moon games than in any other game. So, to say I'm excited is an understatement.)
Every aspect of the game was whittled down to the basics of what makes Harvest Moon, a Harvest Moon game. Natsume is bringing back the original quartet; the cow, the sheep, the chickens and the horse. The Lost Valley's animals will will have "skills," or more specifically, personality traits that you can build your barn around.
You could go for a barn/coop all around one trait or try to balance it out. Natsume hasn't revealed all of the traits we will be seeing in the game, but they did sample two:
- Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall: A season trait, the animal will prefer one season over all of the others. During this season the animals affection levels will rise faster.
- Elegant: These animals hate being dirty, you'll get a big affection bonus for brushing them.
If you're a seasoned Harvest Moon veteran, this goes without saying -- the higher an animal's affection, the higher quality products they'll produce (and in higher quantities).
Let's say you end up liking a particular trait and breed the animals with it over and over again. You can keep breeding the same skill...or a rare, super version of that skill. Here's a sample of how the skills level up - so worth:
- Great Goods becomes High-Quality Goods: Animals will sometimes produce higher-quality products.
- More Goods becomes Super Goods: These guys produce a higher quantity of products.
The Lost Valley will even let you help your animals learn new traits by feeding them a special feed. Unfortunately, Natsume didn't disclose how to make the feed yet! That's going to remain a surprise!
I cannot wait to get into this game! Do you love Harvest Moon?

Join the MLS ExtraTime Radio league! We're giving away FREE MLS Live subscriptions after every round. Click "Leagues"---> Join a private league ---> Enter this code: 7953-1611
REMINDER: All transfers need to be finalized by Wednesday, May 8 at 6:45pm ET.
MLS Fantasy Soccer: Manager Experts Jason Saghini and Andrew Wiebe are back with another episode of "Starting Lineup" (above), answering the questions you submitted to @MLSFantasy. This week, we received a lot of questions focused primarily on the double-game week.
The importance of the DGW is not only to fill your team with players expected to make appearances in both games, but that they log the entire 180 minutes as well. You don't want to invest in guys who only play 60-70 minutes a game because over a two-game period they're missing out on too many chances.
READ: Nearly 4,700 owners captained Graham Zusi in Round 10…did you?
Since Jason and Andrew answered most of your questions in the video above, I'm going to go through a few key points regarding the double-game week. Hopefully you still have some of your transfers left.
1. Which players are going to play the full 90 minutes in both of their matches?
There are quite a few things that will determine whether or not a player gets the full time in each of their games; injuries, cautions, ejections, blowouts, etc. Putting aside those issues, here's my list of every player that the best shot at playing the full 90 minutes in both of their matches in regardless.
- Goalkeepers – All goalkeepers are expected to play the full 90 minutes in both games
- Defenders – Chris Korb, Brandon McDonald, Dejan Jakovic, Daniel Woolard, Corey Ashe, Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Kofi Sarkodie, Markus Holgersson, Roy Miller, Hassoun Camara, Matteo Ferrari, Jeb Brovsky, José Gonçalves, Chris Tierney, Chris Wingert, Chris Schuler, Tony Beltran, Aurélien Collin, Seth Sinovic, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Djimi Traoré, Leo González, Zach Loyd, Matt Hedges, Jair Benítez, Michel, Michael Harrington, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Futty Danso, Rodney Wallace, Steven Beitashour, Víctor Bernárdez, Justin Morrow, Nana Attakora
- Midfielders – Dwayne De Rosario, Brad Davis, Boniek García, Brandon Barklage, Tim Cahill, Lee Nguyen, Kelyn Rowe, Javier Morales, Kyle Beckerman, Graham Zusi, Oriol Rosell, Osvaldo Alonso, David Ferreira, Will Johnson, Diego Chará, Jack Jewsbury, Darlington Nagbe, Sam Cronin
- Forwards – Lionard Pajoy, Will Bruin, Fabián Espíndola, Claudio Bieler, Eddie Johnson, Blas Pérez, Chris Wondolowski
If you have a few players starting that were not mentioned above you might want to look a little deeper into their situation. For instance, Thierry Henry hasn't played in a game at Gillette Stadium since his arrival to MLS.
Before making any transfers, review each player's "history" by clicking on the blue icon next to their name. Here you can sort through every game log, points earned, minutes played and more. Each team is only allowed to sub three players each game and these guys are usually the same more often than not.
2. How to plan accordingly for Philadelphia and LA's double-game week in Round 12?
The best case scenario for this week is to have everyone playing multiple games in your starting lineup and all three subs (including your GK) from either Philadelphia or LA. Then you can use your two transfers in Round 12 to maximize your starting lineup.
3. Which players are at risk of missing time due to suspensions and injuries?
- Questionable – Matt Besler, George John, Andrew Farrell, Stephen McCarthy, Olmes García, Steve Zakuani, Shalrie Joseph, Obafemi Martins, Benny Feilhaber, Chris Pontius,
- Out – Álvaro Saborío, Alessandro Nesta, Davy Arnaud, Daniele Paponi, A.J. Soares, Dax McCarty, Mikaël Silvestre,
- Suspensions – Dan Kennedy, Jackson, DeAndre Yedlin, Paolo Nagamura, Lamar Neagle, Alan Gordon, Steven Lenhart, Sheanon Williams, Jeff Larentowicz

Goalkeeper Manninger earns recall to Austria squad
VIENNA, Nov 9 (Reuters) - AC Siena goalkeeper Alex Manninger has received a surprise recall to the Austrian national squad ahead of next Wednesday's friendly match at home to Trinidad & Tobago.
The 29-year-old former Arsenal stopper picked up the last of his 18 caps for Austria in October 2004 but has forced his way back into international consideration after a string of fine performances in Serie A.
Deemed surplus to requirements by Salzburg's new sporting director Giovanni Trapattoni during the summer, Manninger has conceded just nine goals in 10 Serie A matches with Siena to help take the club up to fifth
Manninger's chances of being fielded against Trinidad have been enhanced by the non-selection of Austria's regular goalkeeper Juergen Macho.
Austria coach Josef Hickersberger has agreed to let Macho stay with his German second division side Kaiserslautern who are due to play two league matches on Monday and Friday.
After starting his second spell as Austria coach with four defeats and a draw, Hickersberger will be looking to build on last month's much-needed friendly wins over Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
Austria have already qualified for Euro 2008 as tournament co-hosts along with the Swiss.
The coach will have to rejig his midfield, however, with Frankfurt's Markus Weissenberger and Heerenveen's Thomas Prager both ruled out with groin and knee injuries.
Captain Andreas Ivanschitz has been included in the 19 man-squad but a recent ankle injury makes him another midfield doubt.
Sturm Graz midfielder Klaus Salmutter is likely to be the main beneficiary as he awaits his first international cap.
Goalkeepers: Alex Manninger (Sienna), Helge Payer (Rapid Vienna), Andreas Schranz (GAK)
Defenders: Johannes Ertl (Austria Vienna), Ferdinand Feldhofer (Wacker Tirol), Christian Fuchs (Mattersburg), Martin Hiden (Rapid Vienna), Joachim Standfest (GAK), Martin Stranzl (Spartak Moscow)
Midfielders: Rene Aufhauser (Salzburg), Gyorgy Garics (Napoli), Andreas Ivanschitz (Panathinaikos), Christoph Leitgeb (Sturm Graz), Zlatko Junozovic (GAK), Yuksel Sariyar (Pasching), Juergen Salmutter (Sturm Graz)
Forwards: Muhammet Akagunduz (Kayserispor), Sanel Kuljic (Sion), Roland Linz (Boavista)

Check with the creditor that you have the autopay setup for, make sure that it's auto drafting for the actual amount due and you might also want to make sure it's autodrating before the due date, move it in a few days that way if they have a wacky posting policy you can make sure your payment is hitting the account before the due date.

January Jones Gives Birth to a Son Named Xander Dane Jones
January Jones Welcomes a Baby Boy!
January Jones gave birth to a boy! She welcomed son Xander Dane Jones in LA on Tuesday, and both baby and January are "doing great." January kept the sex of her child a surprise throughout the pregnancy, much of which she spent hanging close to home and also practicing yoga. Her series Mad Men is up for many awards at Monday's Emmys, but it seems unlikely that we'll get to see January on the red carpet so quickly after the delivery.
Congrats to January!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Ethics Resource Center (ERC) is reporting continued strong response to the Penn State Values & Culture Survey. ERC, the independent, nonprofit organization that is conducting the survey, said about 8,500 individuals have completed the survey as of Nov. 11. ERC also has committed additional computing power to the effort in order to eliminate lag reported by some survey-takers, caused by high traffic on the survey site. (For more information about the survey, visit the FAQ.)
Regis Becker, director of University Ethics and Compliance, thanked students, faculty and staff for their participation, and encouraged those who have yet to complete the survey to do so before it closes later in November. Those who may have experienced slow response times on their first attempt are encouraged to revisit the survey using links sent via email by ERC. Those who previously started the survey will be able to pick up where they left off.
The confidential survey will take about 20 minutes to complete and is designed to help University leaders gain a fuller understanding of the priorities and collective values of the people who learn and work at Penn State every day. Beginning on Nov. 12 and continuing throughout the week, those who have yet to take the survey will receive an email reminder from the ERC. Becker encouraged every member of the campus community to provide their input.
"The results of this survey will help Penn State to grow and improve as a University and as a community," Becker said. "If you already have taken the survey, thank you for participating in this important undertaking – if you have not yet, please take advantage of the opportunity to share your confidential feedback."
The ERC is conducting the survey in a manner that protects the identities of all participants; responses will be aggregated and only summary data will be provided back to Penn State, so that no individual within any unit can be identified.
Individuals who experience technical difficulties as they are taking the survey should contact the ERC by sending an email to email@example.com or by calling 800-777-1285. The help desk phone line is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
Results will be used to develop an inclusive statement of shared values for the university community; it also will contribute to a more concise understanding of the values of students, faculty and staff, which in turn will help University leaders to improve ethics and compliance programs.
The ERC will deliver an executive summary of the findings in spring of 2014, and Becker said the document will be published at that time.

Man Accused of Killing 2 Detroit PD Officers Deemed Competent To Stand Trial
Detroit (AP) -- A judge ruled Thursday that a man accused of killing two Detroit police officers is mentally competent to stand trial.
Eric Marshall, 23, is charged with the shooting deaths of officers Matthew Bowens, 21, and Jennifer Fettig, 26.
"There has been nothing at all to indicate Mr. Marshall has a mental illness," Wayne County assistant prosecutor Elizabeth Walker said in her closing at Thursday's competency hearing before 36th District Judge Jeanette O'Banner-Owens.
Marshall's preliminary examination is scheduled for July 13 in district court.
Fettig and Bowens were shot during a traffic stop early in the morning on Feb. 16. Bowens, 21, was pronounced dead upon arrival at a Detroit hospital, while Fettig, 26, died later in the day.
Marshall was charged with the crime the next day. Judge Mark A. Randon ordered a psychiatric exam following a request by Kerry Jackson, Marshall's attorney.
The results of one exam were released in early May by the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry. Jackson then asked for another doctor retained by him to examine Marshall.
But Jackson said Thursday he was unable to get another doctor to agree to evaluate Marshall due to the high-profile nature of the case.
The evaluation by Dr. Richard Rickman at the state center found that Marshall was competent to stand trial. Rickman noted that Marshall may suffer from some behavior disorders, but nothing that would meet the state's criteria for mental illness, or prevent him from understanding instructions.
As many as five Detroit officers stood around Marshall in the court proceeding -- a measure the prosecution said was necessary for safety. Jackson protested the measure as gratuitous intimidation, but the judge allowed it.
Marshall did little but look down at the table during the hearing, but jerked to his feet and cursed a few times as the judge was making her ruling. He was forcefully removed from the courtroom by four officers.
Rickman testified that Marshall laid on the floor and cried at times during his examination in March and that he generally was uncooperative. However, Rickman said he didn't display similar behavior at the Wayne County jail according to statements from jail officials and another doctor.
"It is my opinion that he is competent to stand trial," Rickman said.
In cross-examination, however, Rickman revealed that Marshall's sister had told the psychologist during an interview that her brother had an obsession with demons, generally was considered odd, and that she had told her mother that he needed treatment.
Jackson said during trial he will be calling more than a dozen witnesses to testify that Marshall was mentally disturbed and needed help, but never had received treatment.
James Bowens, Matthew Bowens' father, said he was pleased with the hearing and confident that Marshall would be convicted.
"I'm just sad they can't have the death penalty," Bowens said after the hearing. James Bowens is leading a petition drive to put a measure on the state ballot to end the state's 158-year-old ban on capital punishment.
