#FixYoungAmerica: Can You Save Us?
Over the past several years the news media has reported on the doom and gloom aftermath of the global economic crisis that has impacted young America and the world. Primarily the headlines cast shadows on a plight of epic proportions, "Global Youth Unemployment Rate Staggeringly High: 'Lost Generation' Feared."
And while policy makers, thought-leaders and young entrepreneurs agree that we must overcome the youth unemployment epidemic and #FixYoungAmerica, who's really up for the task at hand?
Is it you … will you save us?
The Problem
According to a United Nations World Youth Report, "The global youth unemployment rate, which has long exceeded that of other age groups, saw its largest annual increase on record in 2009; at its peak, 75.8 million young people were unemployed."
Across regions, young people are disproportionately affected by unemployment, underemployment, vulnerable employment and working poverty. Even during periods of economic growth, many economies have been unable to absorb large youth populations into the labour market. In recent years, however, the global financial and economic crisis has further hit young people particularly hard in the developed world."
Essentially, the world's bright young minds bear the brunt of this economic burden. And some fear that current trends offer little to no hope on the job creation front, as supply continues to outweigh demand for young America's labor force.
What's to blame? Is it a lack of skill set, a deficient educational system, discord between education and labor market needs, a shortage of self confidence and self esteem, or simply a structural lack of opportunity?
These questions plague our government and leave us, young America, "holding the bag." Yet one simple idea could spark massive change – entrepreneurship.
Is it a viable solution? Young America's entrepreneurs think so.

text: Hi, I have a Mark Little amp head and 104HR cab - I was going to buy a speakon cable but am confused about the choice of 2 pole or 4 pole! The Markbass manual says: SPEAKER OUT speakon/1/4" combo, 1/4" I was hoping to buy a right angle speakon for the cab but they're only available in 4 pole. So my questions are: If anyone out there uses Speakons with their MarkBass, did you use 2 pole or 4 pole? Does it matter (and is it possible) to use a 2 pole cable into 4 pole socket and vice-a-versa. Thanks

Sheridan Media partnered with the Sheridan-Johnson Community Foundation to contribute $3,000 toward the Sheridan High School Community Donations and Hardship Funds. The funds are used to fill in financial gaps for students who need assistance paying for school lunches, technical certification, testing, and sports-related expenses, including equipment.
The staff at Northeast Wyoming Pediatric Associates, P.C., have gone all-out to celebrate Halloween in a way that's not scary for their patients.

Unwired Planet Terminates ITC Litigation; Intends to Pursue Matter in District Court of Delaware
Unwired Planet (Nasdaq: UPIP) today commented on its pending investigation against Apple and Research-in-Motion at the International Trade Commission (ITC). For more information, please see Unwired Planet's blog at www.unwiredplanet.com/unwired-planet-blog/
On Thursday, October 11, 2012, Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") Gildea declined to stay the pending investigation despite a joint motion filed by all of the parties. The denial of the joint motion further postponed the ability to appeal what Unwired Planet considers an erroneous claim construction. Rather than proceed with the trial, Unwired Planet has determined that it is in the shareholders' best interest for the Company to terminate the investigation.

Your One Stop Bird Feeder Shop
All About Bird Feeders & Accessories
Bird enthusiasts often need not look any farther than their own garden to find a microcosm of feathered friends. Even the most desolate spaces can attract birds if they are equipped with a well-stocked bird feeder, which draws a variety of species that might otherwise remain out of sight.
Bird feeders are as varied as the birds they attract, coming in many shapes, sizes and materials. Some bird feeders are simple and hand-made, such as a pine cone covered in peanut butter and seeds. Alternately, they can be elaborate pole-mounted structures with covered roofs and multiple perches to attract birds and create a decorative focal point to the garden. Though they may look differently and have different features, all bird feeders contain one thing in common: food birds like to eat. Sunflower, millet, nyjer, peanuts, suet, corn, safflower, flax are some of the most popular seeds for filling a bird feeder.
In addition to serving as the point of entertainment for birdwatchers, bird feeders also provide supplementary food for over wintering birds in the months when other food is scarce. Those looking to add vibrant life to their outdoor spaces should consider their birding aims, their environment and possible deterrents as they choose which type of feeder to install.
Bird Food
Birding enthusiasts will also need to fill their newly erected storehouses with the tasty treats birds love, such as seeds, crushed nuts, mealworms, fruit, coconut…
Bird Boxes
Sometimes confused with bird feeders by novice birders, bird boxes are simple structures built to provide a safe place for breeding pairs to nest, lay eggs…
Bird Baths
As essential as food and shelter, a source of fresh water can draw birds to the garden all year round. In its simplest form, a bird bath is a dish of water…
About TheBirdFeeder
We aim to help you enhance your garden enviroment all year round, not by just encouraging the birds, but by also adding some interest, colour and design.
We will be working hard to constantly introduce new stock and build upon the site in the hope that if you are looking for something unusual and beautiful for your garden birds, then TheBirdFeeder will be high on your list of shops to visit.

To mark Highway Workers Memorial Day, officials held a solemn ceremony Wednesday in Old Town to honor the 178 state highway workers killed in the line of duty between 1924 and 2011.
Orange cones with the names of the each employee and the year each died were arranged in the courtyard of Caltrans' regional headquarters on Taylor Street, where hundreds gathered for the service.
The observance included a moment of silence and the recitation of the names of the employees, 15 of whom were from San Diego and Imperial counties.
"It's important to honor our fallen workers who have made the ultimate sacrifice," said Laurie Berman, Caltrans' local director.
The last three deaths in the region happened in 2011 in May and June. "The sharp wound of their loss is still painful," Berman said.
The workers were Richard Gonzalez, 52, of San Ysidro, who was hit and killed on the Interstate 15 connector to eastbound state Route 94; Jaime Obeso, 53, of Imperial, who died after being hit on Interstate 8 in Imperial County; and Stephen Palmer, 64, of Jamul, who was working on trolley tracks in National City when he was struck by an oncoming train.
Caltrans employee Ralph Gonzalez, 44, a lead maintenance worker who has been with the agency for 13 years, was one of the employees who volunteered for the name reading. He said he knew the three local workers who lost their lives two years ago.
"They died doing what they loved to do — serving the public," Gonzalez said.
He said the memorial was a sobering reminder for him and fellow workers to never let their guard down while working.
Gonzalez said people just do not realize how dangerous it is to work on the highways where cars are speeding by just a few feet away. He said not long ago one of his crew members had a very close call when a driver ran onto the shoulder and slammed into some heavy equipment. Luckily, said Gonzalez, the crew member was away from the equipment at the time.
In 2007, the state enacted the Move Over Law, which requires drivers nearing a work zone to move over one lane if it's safe to do so or slow down.
One of the state's highway signs reminding drivers of the law was unveiled at the ceremony.
Gonzalez said he appreciated the memorial for the fallen.
"I think its great that they are recognizing the lives that were lost," Gonzalez said. "Hopefully the public will pay more attention when they are driving."

A 2-year-old girl who was pulled from a pond Saturday on Cedar Street in Ramona and flown to Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego has died, authorities said.
Firefighters with California Department of Forestry, or CalFire, responded at about 3:30 p.m. to a report of a child falling into a pond, Capt. Mike Mohler said.
A family member had seen the girl fall into the pond, but couldn't get to her, Mohler said.
Firefighters waded into the pond and searched under water by feel for the child, he said. They found the toddler and began CPR.
Firefighters called for a helicopter to meet them at Ramona Airport, and the toddler was taken to Rady Children's Hospital, CPR still in progress, Mohler said.
An investigator with the county medical examiner's office confirmed that the child died.

Pop Culture
Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
Sept. 30, 2010
Good morning! On today's episode of "The Pretend Jew," our heroine waivers on hosting the Hanukkah open house in her home because her Christmas tree is still up. And who doesn't love her confused expression every time she's in synagogue (she doesn't speak Hebrew!) and has no idea when to sit down! And here's your hostess … Deanna Shoss!
Yes, that would be me. "The Pretend Jew," I like to call myself in conversation. Raised Reform, don't speak Hebrew, dropped out during my early adult life, oblivious to many intricate traditions that others seem to know innately.
Yet I'm also responsible for raising our son Jewishly. Dillon, now 9, clearly identifies as a Jew. How did that happen?
|Deanna Shoss' son, Dillon, does his Hebrew homework.
These three tenets from the field of intercultural communications can help you figure out how to give your child(ren) an unambiguously Jewish identity without occluding the other partner's cultural identity:
1. Know and respect who you are. (Embrace your own cultural identity.)
2. Know and respect who others are. (the new Golden Rule: Do unto others as they would have you do unto them.)
3. Find the right person/community to teach the details. (E.g. build your cultural competence--even if it's about your own culture!)
So let's get started.
As a white woman, this one was hard for me. If I was afraid of prejudice I could simply hide behind my whiteness and omit that I was Jewish. But at the core of intercultural communications is to know thyself first. It started by answering "Jewish" rather than "Eastern European" when asked of the origin of my last name.
When invited to join the Board of Directors of my synagogue as the chair of the Parents Club, I accepted in the Jewish tradition of "hineni," meaning "here I am," ready to serve.
I also have carried our Judaism into the home--as simple as lighting the Shabbat candles or getting a challah on Fridays (I try to remember at least once a month), celebrating the major holidays (got that one covered) and going to services while he's in school on Saturday mornings (I'm at least there for the sermons, and always there when Dillon files in after class.) He knows our Saturday ritual of going to synagogue is the priority.
In our family, we are also multicultural, so I view my husband's Brazilian cultural background as the "counterpart" to my Jewish identity. (He was raised Catholic, but is more agnostic now.)
Honoring that heritage equally helps to balance Dillon's connection to both of us. I learned Portuguese and serve on the Board of the Illinois-Sao Paulo Partners of the Americas--giving equal weight to our family's cultural connections.
I am grateful that we agreed what religion to raise our children well before having them (and please note that this is critical to do.) This is not about my spouse becoming Jewish. It's about unambiguous support from both of us that our child is Jewish, regardless of what we practice individually.
When I set up training for intercultural communications, I introduce the core curriculum--recognizing communications styles, outlining how culture influences value systems and identifying tools for embracing difference. I will then bring in a "country specialist" for those requiring more in-depth knowledge about a specific culture.
The same concept works here. I don't need to be nervous that I don't speak Hebrew, even though my son is learning it. Nor do I have to be anxious that I didn't know how to celebrate Simchat Torah or that there are times of year that you're not supposed to get a haircut.
Because there are people to do that! I like going to the kids' service with Dillon because I learn so much. The rabbi is my "Jewish" expert. He (or my mom, who has taught kindergarten Sunday school at two Reform congregations in St. Louis for 40 years) will have the answers to any "How do I?" or "What is it?" questions I have. Or you can check out our rabbi's 590-plus "how to" videos on YouTube.
If the fellow parents at Ezra Habo are any indication, no. The two moms who are the most active and who take the lead on planning and helping with special events are not Jewish! Not only are they not Jewish, they very strongly identify with their Catholicism--but each had made the commitment with her Jewish spouse to raise their children Jewish.
While gender roles continue to evolve, "because I'm the mommy" usually still means it's the mom who is setting up the Jewish home. Jewish or not, these moms are the ones carting the kids to Hebrew school, baking challah, volunteering at the mock seder and more.
A mutual commitment to raising the children Jewish, confidence in your own and respect for your partner's cultural identity and access to Jewish cultural experts (e.g. join a synagogue!) all provide a good framework for building your Jewish home.
It may be easier with our families living out of town, but we have celebrated many a Christmas in Brazil. Dillon has received more than one gift book of Bible stories and an overabundance of Jewish books from well-meaning relatives.
But by knowing thyself and respecting others, the correct answer to these gifts is "Thank you." The gifts were given out of love. We still are raising Dillon Jewish and he knows it, and we are doing it in the context of respect and understanding for all of the faiths and cultures in our home. These instances just offer an opportunity for dialogue and learning about other perspectives.
What about you? How do you negotiate raising Jewish children in an interfaith family?

A TripAdvisor Review from 2015:
Watermark Cruises organized a absolutely delightful charter out of Annapolis to the annual Wine Festival in St Michaels, MD. Every detail was beautifully executed, including the on-line ticket purchase, regular email updates about the cruise, check-in, festival passes, on-board food service, and the on-time arrival and return. The journey could not have been more comfortable -- The Lady Sarah is a beautiful vessel, designed for comfort, with plenty of on-deck and below-deck seating. The crew is super friendly and made certain to touch base with each passenger several times throughout the 2-hour cruise to the festival and back: they made us feel welcome and let us know our satisfaction was of paramount importance. The wine festival itself was great fun -- can't wait to take this Watermark trip again next year! Meanwhile, I'll check out the other Watermark cruise excursions. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!
Any cruise may be canceled because of severe weather, mechanical breakdown or lack of participation.

Product Information for TSC America TTP-247 DT/TT 4" 203dpi 8MB DRAM 4MB Flash Serial Parallel USB Clamshell Thermal Printer
Highlights for TSC America TTP-247 DT/TT 4" 203dpi 8MB DRAM 4MB Flash Serial Parallel USB Clamshell Thermal Printer
The new TTP-247 thermal transfer desktop bar code printer series delivers more performance for the price than any other printer in its class. Based on the design of its best-selling predecessor, the TTP-245 Plus, the TTP-247 runs at an impressive 7 inches per second, printing up to 4 inches wide at 203 dpi resolution. A second model in the series � the TTP-345 � offers high resolution 300 dpi printing at 5 inches per second. Both models offer 8 MB of SDRAM and 4 MB of onboard Flash memory. Gigabytes of Flash memory can be added via an onboard SDHC card reader.
TTP-247 series offers USB 2.0, parallel and serial connectivity, plus an optional Ethernet port for networking. It also incorporates the TSPL-EZ� printer-control language, which is fully compatible with other TSC printer languages, while supporting TPLE (Translation Printer Language Eltron�) and TPLZ (Translation Printer Language Zebra�). The languages automatically decipher and translate the format of each label as it is sent to the printer. TSPL-EZ� also features internal scalable True Type fonts (based on the Monotype� font engine), which are typically found only in more expensive printers.
Like its predecessor, the TTP-247 series features a user-friendly clamshell design for easy drop-in media loading, along with a rugged double-wall design that is stronger and more durable than other thermal transfer mechanisms on the market. Its innovative two-motor gear-driven engine is powerful enough to handle a 300-meter-long ribbon and label rolls up to 8.4 inches in diameter.
By using two motors instead of the usual one, TTP-247 series printers operate at lower torque, reducing noise, decreasing wear and tear, and extending printer life. The platform�s user-friendly design makes it easy for operators to load and unload ribbons, and its 300-meter capacity is more than four times the industry-standard length for desktop printers.
The TTP-247 series holds up to a 5-inch OD roll on a 1-inch core and, using an optional external media hanger, can accommodate a full 8.4-inch OD label roll on a 3-inch core. With its many performance features and budget-friendly price, the TTP-247 series is by far one of the most attractive thermal transfer bar code printers on the market.

Atlanta Magazine: Xocolatl to make single-origin, dual-ingredient chocolateFrom bean to bar in Krog Street Market
Matt Weyandt and Elaine Read always had traditional jobs. He worked on political campaigns, while she focused on international aid with the Peace Corps. In 2012, they packed up their two children—ages one and four—and moved to Costa Rica for a change of scenery and the chance for adventure. There, the husband-and-wife team met cacao growers and gradually learned how to grind the beans into chocolate. They decided to bring this pure, unadulterated, single-origin, two-ingredient delicacy back home to Atlanta. And Xocolatl was born. - See more at: http://www.atlantamagazine.com/dining-news/xocolatl-to-make-single-origin-dual-ingredient-chocolate/#sthash.IWtMDEVf.dpuf

Woman taken in for mental evaluation after caught pushing her dead 3-year-old in playground swing
Authorities arrived at the scene located at Wills Memorial Park, at 500 St. Mary's Avenue around 6:55 a.m., Friday morning, after receiving reports that the woman had been pushing the child in the swing for an unusually long period of time. It is unclear how the child died and at this time, medical examiners are performing an autopsy.
The mother's name has not been publicly released; however, authorities described her as a 24-year-old woman.
You may see photos of the park and a report from local Maryland news, WUSA9 here.
The report sounds like something from a horror movie and it must have been extremely disturbing for any onlookers who witnessed the event first hand. It is unknown whether the mother had lost touch with reality and was overcome by grief, or if she was involved in foul play that resulted in the child's death. At this time there are no charges pending against the mother.
Stay tuned for further updates on this breaking news story.

In this great nation of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
In Savannah's Historic District, the Croque Monsieur ($8.50) at Papillote neatly bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch. Thin slices of ham and Swiss cheese that's warm, but not quite melted, are sandwiched between two toasted slices of bread. The top piece of gets dipped in crème fraîche before it's broiled, so it browns and bubbles up a lot like cheese.
True to its name, (croque means "crunch" in English), the bread is crisp with a resounding crunch, but since it's broiled, rather than pan-fried in butter, it's not at all greasy. If you're looking for the sandwich's egg-topped counterpart, a croque madame, swing by during brunch on Saturday or Sunday, and get the same sandwich, topped with a sunny side-up egg.
Note: the café is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Should Sox get in on Justin Upton?
ORLANDO — As we reported in today's On Baseball column, the Diamondbacks have been fielding offers for Justin Upton, an interesting name considering his youth and his ability. The 23-year-old outfielder is a talent several teams would be interested in and a player the Red Sox should get in on.
The D-Backs have made it clear that listening doesn't mean trading unless the package coming back is massive. The Red Sox would probably rather sign a Jayson Werth than give up players for someone like Upton, but it's an intriguing possibility. There doesn't seem to be anything to a Ryan Braun possibility for Boston, at least not judging by Doug Melvin's reaction and kidding with Braun about Red Sox rumors that have been out recently.
Victor Martinez's agents are here and they have some meetings scheduled for the popular switch-hitting free-agent catcher/1B.
Scott Boras is here and there was also a Prince Fielder sighting, a Boras client who could be traded by the Brewers this offseason if the price is right. Is Fielder another player the Sox should be interested in?

Election 2010: Manchin, Raese contest in W.Va. could offer early signal to Senate outcome
Tuesday, November 2, 2010; 3:04 PM
The last time West Virginians elected a new senator to the seat up for grabs Tuesday it was 1958, college football's West Virginia Mountaineers went 4-5-1 and then-Rep. Robert C. Byrd (D) beat incumbent Republican William Chapman Revercomb.
This year, the Mountaineers are 5-3, Byrd is dead after the longest Senate career in U.S. history and businessman John Raese, 60, is trying to retake the Senate seat for Republicans. But he'll have to get past the enormously popular Gov. Joe Manchin III, a moderate Democrat known to most of the country as the man who led the state's response to two deadly coal mine disasters.
Independent political observers consider the Senate race close but give Manchin, 63, a slight edge. Polling suggests the race is tightening thanks partly to a series of Democratic attack ads that highlight that Raese's wife lives in Palm Beach, Fla.
Polls close statewide at 7:30 p.m., meaning that West Virginia could offer an early signal of how the Senate's balance of power may play out.
Party and state officials reported few problems across the state Tuesday and none causing significant concerns. West Virginia voter turnout for midterm Congressional elections usually hovers between 40 and 50 percent, and party officials do not expect it to exceed the 49 percent of register voters who showed up in 1994.
A few of the state's voting machines had been mistakenly set back to daylight savings time and were reset by poll workers, according to West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant. In one county, an official accidentally tripped over a vote-counting machine and broke it; workers plan to use a replacement machine, she said.
Tennant, a former television anchor, offered West Virginians hourly updates Tuesday during a series of webcasts she hosted from her office in the state capitol.
A few miles away, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.) voted at a Charleston Methodist church and predicted Republicans will gain at least 50 seats in the House as part of an anti-Democratic, anti-incumbent wave against Washington.
"Having been there for 10 years as the sole [West Virginia] Republican, I'm going to get some company, I like that," Capito said, predicting that Congressional Republicans will try to repeal health-care reform and pay down the government's debt.
"We've got lots to do and I hope the president is willing to work together. Our mission is going to be to listen to what people are saying and to respond," she said.
State officials said Monday that 108,212 voters had cast early ballots, a much higher figure than in the 2006 midterms, but lower than the presidential election years of 2004 and 2008.
Raese (pronounced race-ee) runs Greer Industries, a collection of companies including radio stations across the state and limestone and asphalt plants. He has lost three previous statewide campaigns - two for the Senate and one for governor. He has cast Manchin in television ads as a potential "rubber stamp" for President Obama's policies. Despite the attacks, ads by the National Republican Senatorial Committee call Manchin "a good governor."

Global Value Chains and the Productivity of Canadian Manufacturing Firms
The paper examines whether the integration of Canadian manufacturing firms into a global value chain (GVC) improves their productivity. To control for the self-selection effect (more productive firms self-select to join a GVC), propensity-score matching and difference-in-difference methods are used. Becoming part of a GVC can enhance firms' productivity, both immediately and over time. The magnitude and timing of the effects vary by industrial sector, internationalization process, and import source/export destination country in a way that suggests the most substantial advantages of GVC participation are derived from technological improvements.

Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season.
The interim manager, once again targeted by a section of Chelsea's support during last night's 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round victory away to Middlesbrough, was in defiant mood after the game.
He said: "I have been in charge in football for 26 years. I have won the Champions League, the Fifa Club World Cup, the FA Cup, the Italian Super Cup, the Spanish League twice, nine trophies, all the trophies you can win at club level.
"A group of fans, they are not doing any favours for the team when they are singing and wasting time preparing banners.
"It's because someone made a mistake. They put my title as 'interim manager', and I will leave at the end of the season, so they don't need to waste time with me.
"They have to concentrate on supporting the team.
"In the end, they are not doing any favours to the club, the rest of the fans and the players.
"Every game they continue singing and they continue preparing banners, they are wasting time. They must support the team.
"If we cannot achieve what we expect to achieve, that is to be in the top four and be in the Champions League for next year, I will leave, they will stay in the Europa League."

On the night Linsanity officially died in New York, it looked like Valdespinsanity would provide a reason to smile.
Down 2-0 with two on and one out in the top of the ninth, Jordany Valdespin pinch hit for Jason Bay (that signing really is the gift that keeps on giving) and delivered a massive hit for the second time this year. Valdespin took Tyler Clippard deep, giving the Mets the lead and brightening a night that had been awfully dark until that point.
Valdespin did the same thing to Jonathan Papelbon earlier this season and Frank Francisco was able to close things down in the bottom of the inning. Francisco's on the DL now, so Bobby Parnell got the chance to shut things down in D.C. on Tuesday night.
As you can see by the title on the top of this page, it didn't go well. It would have been easy if he just gave up a home run and made the pain quick, but minimizing pain just isn't the way these Mets roll.
Parnell got a perfect double play ball with one out, but the Nats had the hit-and-run on and the ball rolled through the spot once occupied by Ruben Tejada and got Washington in serious business. Parnell struck out the next hitter on three straight curveballs, threw five more benders to get Danny Espinosa right where he wanted him and then returned to his fiery, straight fastball just in time to blow the save.
The screws weren't done being turned. The Mets pushed a run across in the 10th, giving Tim Byrdak a chance to do what Parnell couldn't do in the ninth.
A single, a bunt and a Bryce Harper triple confirmed that he couldn't get the job done either. And then, for the icing on the totally rancid cake, Pedro Beato threw a wild pitch with two outs and the bases loaded for the final bit of agony in a 5-4 loss.
This is not fun and, even worse, this is not new.
Every year, the Mets trick segments of the population into hailing their fighting spirit, resiliency and grit instead of harping on their instability. That lasts right until the All-Star break, when the wheels come off the bus so rapidly that you wonder if you dreamed up the whole thing in the first place.
Sandy Alderson spent all day Tuesday saying that the Mets were buyers in the trade market, but that message suddenly feels as dated as the Knicks saying they'd match any offer for Jeremy Lin up to $1 billion. They are now seven games out of first and losers of five straight games that are making it increasingly difficult to buy into this team's ability to contend over the long haul.
Go ahead and make a deal, but you better make it quick if the idea is doing anything other than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Jaleel White **slaps forehead** That's right. Alfonso Ribero (sp?) I would really like that one. He does well with the hip hop and his "preppy white boy" dancing (hahaha)
I think they should do a themed show one season. The one I'm think of would be classic rockers and they could have Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Sammy Haggar and so forth. That would be so funny and cool!

Alabama coach Nick Saban had the most to gain with the SEC's decision to keep conference play at eight games. But the league's best and most successful coach during the SEC's run of seven straight BCS national championships wanted things a little tougher.
Saban, who has three national championships at Alabama, wanted nine conference games per season. The coach who has greatly benefited from the traditional eight-game conference slate felt it was better for the league if it made things harder for everyone.
I can respect that, and I also respect the fact that Saban is still pushing for the league to make things harder. On Wednesday, Saban continued his stance on beefier schedules by saying he thinks teams in the Big 5 conferences -- SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 -- should only play teams from the Big 5 conferences.
"If it was totally up to me, I'd say you've got to play all 12 games in the Big 5. If we did that, I think we would be less averse to playing more conference games because I think we have such a great conference. But I don't think anybody's going to be in favor of that until we change how you select bowl teams. I think you ought to do it based on the RPI and strength of schedule and all that for all bowls."
I like this idea. When the SEC decided to keep the eight conference games, I said it was a good move by the conference. From a business standpoint, there was no point in changing if the product was working. Adding the mandatory Big 5 nonconference game in 2016 was also a good move when it comes to strength of schedule, which will be used in determining who makes the new College Football Playoff.
Oh, and remember when the SEC got blasted for keeping its format? Well, look at the ACC. It's sticking with eight as well, so maybe the SEC isn't so bad after all.
While I'm all about better games and a much better fan/eye experience, the SEC didn't need to make things harder on itself until its hand was forced. But Saban's idea to keep games within the Big 5 is perfectly fine with me. I understand what FBS vs. FCS games do for the smaller schools from a money standpoint, but it really is killing the product at the FBS level. You have weeks sprinkled throughout the season where cupcakes dominate schedules, creating mostly snoozer matchups.
Sure, you're going to get a Georgia Southern-Florida every once in a while, but those upsets are far from the norm. If you're a fan, are you pumped to see your team take on Georgia Southern or Oklahoma? Nicholls State or Michigan State?
Big 5 opponents, whether it's Oregon or Syracuse, are going to put more people in seats and more eyes in front of TV sets than any FCS opponent would. Of course, that means more green in pockets.
I really, really like this idea by Saban because you can still keep eight conference games and make things more competitive with the rest of the country. The arrival of the four-team playoff could really make college football even more exciting during the regular season. We could get dream matchups every week instead of having to wait until bowl season, when our excitement sometimes fades. And schools should be more inclined to toughen up the schedule without the win-or-go-home BCS formula hovering over their heads.
The other idea Saban mentioned was changing the bowl eligibility format. If you're going to make the schedule tougher, you have to change how you pick bowl teams. Saban says don't just restrict it to teams with at least six wins; add an RPI and make strength of schedule a priority.
Now we're talking. Reward teams who purposely make things tougher during nonconference play.
Saban's onto something here, and people listen to what he says. He might not get everything he wants, but people are always listening. And hopefully they're listening now.

I've been listening to Mecca and the Soul Brother and it got me thinking about how much I like C.L. Smooth. Well, Pete Rock as well, but this is a post about C.L. It's too bad that the duo didn't put more out, because I feel that C.L. got the short end of the stick, as far as not really being mentioned often as the great emcee that he is. Because of the short life span of their partnership, and possibly being overshadowed by Pete's success, he just didn't really get the attention he deserved.
Pete Rock and C.L. busted onto the scene during the rap "golden age" and seemed to have a very promising future. Unfortunately, they broke up and I don't think I ever heard any real reason as to why, besides creative differences, which to me means that they didn't get along anymore. After the break up, C.L. didn't put out any solo material for whatever reason. This is why he gets lost in discussions about the greats (which we love to do in hip-hop). I think, unfortunately, people just forgot about him. Pete was making music, but C.L. just kind of stopped, until a couple years ago.
Because I've been listening to Mecca, I've been trying to get into C.L.'s solo LP from a couple years back, American Me. I'm still working on it, but I've been enjoying songs like this:
Mecca and the Soul Brother:
I Got A Love (from the last LP, but a great track):

DVD-Audio Gets Another Step Closer to Final Spec
MLP, which stands for Meridian Lossless Packing, is a digital audio coding technology developed by Bob Stuart, Peter Craven, and the late Michael Gerzon. Lossless compression is employed in the MLP scheme to save disc space and transmission bandwidth, in a manner similar to "zipping" and "unzipping" computer files.
Meridian's Bob Stuart has stated that MLP can be easily implemented and will not alter the decoded signal in any way. He emphasizes its "cascadable" quality, meaning that there is no "error accumulation" in multiple generations of copies. The process requires relatively little computing power: six channels of 24-bit/96kHz audio can be processed by an inexpensive DSP chip, he said, and will offer the added advantage of much longer playing times.
"I believe MLP will be welcomed by all of the music industry, because its high performance is already well-known and field-proven," stated WG-4 chairman Bike H. Suzuki. "MLP fully meets the requirement from the ISC (International Steering Committee, representing the RIAA, RIAJ, and IFPI) with a playing time of 74 or more minutes in all modes of DVD-Audio."
Mr. Suzuki also said that, "at the request of Meridian Audio, MEI (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.), who has been a leader in the DVD Technology, is going to cooperate with Meridian to implement MLP into the Audio Specifications Ver. 1.0."
Mr. Suzuki said he hopes the v.1.0 specification will be released around the end of September. He noted that "lossless is the last issue before Ver. 1.0 is released. That's why I and other WG-4 members are very glad to settle the lossless issue. The WG-4 have responded to any new requirement from the ISC with the right technical solution."
One other contentious issue facing the WG-4 has been the recent announcements from Sony and others regarding Direct Stream Digital (DSD), a competing high-resolution audio format (see previous articles 1, 2). Mr. Suzuki comments that "there is no WG-4 move to approach DSD at the moment. But the WG-4 have repeatedly said that DVD-Audio Specifications reserve space for DSD as an optional audio coding [format]. I understand some people outside the WG-4 say that DVD-Audio and DSD should merge into one format." He added, "Yes, I think a format war should be avoided. However, as far as I am concerned, there is no breakthrough on the matter yet."
Further information about the DVD-Audio Specification and the upcoming DVD Conference (see previous article) can be found at the DVD Forum website.

Ayub Nuri, an Iraqi fixer has written an interesting article for the New York Times. In it he tells us of the reality of those people who bring the news out of Iraq, that stuff that we read while eating our breakfast at home - a week's work for a 4 minute soundbite ...
I supported the war, as did many of my countrymen and pretty much all the fixers. We thought that only a powerful outside force could take on the job of ousting Saddam. The war also brought an economic boom. People began to refurbish their houses. In some streets, the sidewalks were piled with boxes containing TV sets, air-conditioners and other appliances.
People thought Iraq would become a kind of 51st state. Everyone wanted to find a job with a news agency, a foreign company or the U.S. Army. Speaking English was a key for success in "the new Iraq," so English schools sprang up around Baghdad.
He ends with this. Many of the fixers fled Iraq and are now refugees in neighboring countries. Those who remained risk their lives every day. Some of them have big families to feed, so they stay. But some fixers I know refuse to leave the country merely out of loyalty to their trade.
We welcomed the U.S. war with a lot of hope. We changed careers and became fixers to help Iraq. Some of us paid with our lives. Now we are no longer sure we will ever be able to fix anything.

wikiHow to Paint a Cornucopia in Watercolor
At the holiday season, if you feel awed by your life's riches, do a painting of the "horn of plenty." It symbolizes the bounty of the harvest by having fruits, vegetables, and flowers spilling from its mouth. It is a classic table decoration at Thanksgiving. Make a lasting memory of the season and Thanksgiving by doing a watercolor of a cornucopia. Hang it in a prominent place to remind you to give thanks all year 'round.
1Draw a cornucopia on an 11 x 14" piece of watercolor paper. While it was originally a goat's horn, most today are baskets woven into that shape.
2Have the opening be large and extend the tapered end behind, even off the page.
3Fill the horn with drawings of various fruits and vegetables. Cluster them tightly, overlapping, and spilling out of the mouth of the basket.
4Small items like grapes or plums make a good contrast to larger ones; pineapple and pumpkins. Use elongated shaped items like corn, bananas, string beans and asparagus as lines to lead the viewer's eye. They work well as space fillers, too.
5Activate your paints with a few drops of water so that when you pull them onto your palette, you can easily fill your brush. This is no place for skimping on paint. Paint the fruits and vegetables, reserving a spot on all, regardless of size, for a highlight. Make a circle as a reminder to leave white paper.
6Paint the cornucopia with strokes that correspond with the shape you are working with. Circular for the opening and semi-circular for the horn. Allow the painting to dry.
7Wash color beneath the fruits and vegetables.

- Think about various fruits and vegetables and try to get them as close in size as they actually look. Grapes, for example, should not be minuscule dots. Make the items lush and plump, bursting with vitality.
- Many of the baskets sold in craft shops have a braided edge around the opening. This braid adds a lively element, highlighting the circle shape and anchoring the basket on the page.
- Try setting up actual fruits and vegetables to use as models for your work.
- Although the Greeks and Romans devised the cornucopia for harvest celebrations, it's fun to imagine how it might have come about.
- A still life of fall's bounty is a good subject, if the cornucopia isn't your thing.

Slow loading of shared DLL files
We have built a system with a Windows Server Standard 2012 as the host and two Windows 7 as the clients connected on a gigabit TCP/IP network.
On the host, a 64-bit MFC-based executable (app) and some small-size dependent DLL files are located and shared to Everyone with the full control right. The app can be run either on the host or on the client.
When the app is run the first time on any of the clients, it starts up quickly/normally - Taking ~1 second - with all the DLL files being loaded quickly.
However, the next run of the app, either on the host or on the other client, takes 3~4 min to start up. Process Explorer showed that each DLL file loading took 30~40 seconds.
It was also found that during the slow start up, if the first client is shut down, both the ongoing and the rest of the DLL loading finished quickly giving a sudden start up of the app.
BTW, the slow start up has never been seen on an old system with Server 2003 (host) and XP (clients).
Anyone with similar experience?
What would be the possible causes?
How to fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance.
My guess is that the first client obtains an oplock (now in SMB2/3 terms more properly called a lease) on the file(s). When the second client starts, it waits for the lease to be broken
Best way of verifying is taking a WireShark trace - start it before the first client runs the app, end it when the second client has succesfully loaded the dll

More info:
The slow loading of the shared DLL's happens only if the second run of the app is attempted withing ~3 min of the first run. It doesn't happen with the third and later runs.
Also, both the app and DLL's are debug version built from VS2010 projects.

Hi Dilip,
Thank you very much for the information.
Based on it and KB296264, the issue appears to have been resolved by adding the following registry key on the server:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\EnableOplocks Value: 0
Again, thank you very much!
Unfortunately, the key worked only once or at most 2 times.
"The opportunistic locking registry keys are valid only for traditional SMB (SMB1). You cannot turn off opportunistic locking for SMB2. SMB2 was introduced in Windows Vista to enable faster communication between computer that are running Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2." is stated in KB296264 after reading it more carefully again.
So, what should be done to get rid of the locking on Windows Server 2012 (SMB3) and Windows 7 (SMB2.1)? Any other possibility causing the slow loading?
Hi Dilip again,
Sorry for having not done the wireshark trace, yet. After we disabled SMB2 (by adding "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\SMB2" and setting the value to "0") in addition to disabling OpLocks on the server, the slow loading has completely gone.
One thing we don't understand is that why no slow loading was seen with the old system based on Server 2003 and XP where the same lock was enabled by default.
We have submitted a support case with Microsoft Support, and hopefully we can get more details soon.
We appreciate your help very much!
It seems the oplocking is the cause, so have you tried the values provided in KB296264 for tuning the performance?
The following value specifies the minimum link throughput that the server allows before it disables raw and opportunistic locks for this connection:
REG_DWORD 0 to infinite bytes per second
Default: 0
The following value specifies the maximum time that is allowed for a link delay. If delays exceed this number, the server disables raw I/O and opportunistic locking for this connection.
REG_DWORD 0 to 100,000 seconds
Default: 60
The following value specifies the time that the server waits for a client to respond to an oplock break request. Smaller values allow detection of crashed clients more quickly, but might potentially cause loss of cached data.
REG_DWORD 10 to 180 seconds
Default: 35

Hi Shaon,
Thanks for the information.
We only tried OplockBreakWait and by setting it to the shortest 10 sec the loading did become faster but it was still not acceptable.

Hi Jeff,
So it seems that the app you are using works improperly under SMB2. Is it acceptable to disable SMB2 and using SMB1 as a workaround? And as you have already submit a support case, let's see if there is a solution rather than the workaround.
TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hi Shaon,
Sorry for the late response.
Yes. The performance appears OK so far after disabling SMB2.
Based on the data collected with Wireshark, the client-side (Win7/WES7) somehow failed to respond to the oplock break request from the server for each of the DLL files, causing timeout of the dialogue corresponding to the setting of OplockBreakWait. BTW, the server didn't send any such request with SMB2 disabled.
The support team is working on the issue and hopefully a solution is available in near future.
Hello Jeff,
We are facing the exact same problem. We migrated to a Windows Server 2012 File Server from Windows Server 2008 R2.
Since the migration, we are facing some sort of "hick ups", and especially long waiting times for opening files which are already openened by someone other. This can take up to 60 seconds.
I already changed the OpLockBreackWait to 10. This made very littkle effect.
Yesterday we disabled SMB2, which did a major improvement. But this is not a situation we want...
Is the problem resolved for you? And can you share the solution (if there is one)?
Thank You in Advance,

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo didn't have his best game by any means on Sunday, but he did enough--along with a defense that held the Eagles to 278 yards and three points--to beat Philly on their home turf, and made some history in the process.
The 17-3 win marked Romo's 100th NFL start and with 317 yards passing on 28 completions and a touchdown, the Cowboys signal caller became the league's all-time leader in both completions (2,262) and passing yards (27,485) through 100 starts.
Romo ranks third in that span in terms of touchdown passes with with 189, behind only Dan Marino (214) and Brett Favre (194).
On the season, Romo is completing 68.3 percent of his passes and has 2,010 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions through seven games. More importantly, Romo has the Cowboys sitting alone atop the NFC East after the win over the Eagles.

Introducing PageCompiler and ApacheConnector
As promised a few days ago, here are two new and cool addition to POCO.
PageCompiler is a simple compiler that translates HTML pages containing embedded C++ code (using syntax familiar from JSP and PHP) into HTTPRequestHandler classes.
ApacheConnector is a module for Apache 2.x that allows you to use POCO HTTPRequestHandler subclasses in Apache. The simplest way to write Apache modules.
The sources are in the Subversion trunk and will make it into coming POCO releases.
Documentation (in PocoDoc format, but human-readable) is in the doc directory of each project.
Feedback and contributions wanted!
