[1]Americans can expect to pay an average of $328 a month[2] for a mid-tier Obamacare insurance plan.
The price of these plans can be lowered through tax credits, which work as an upfront discount. A report by the Health and Human Services estimates that 95% of consumers will have at least two health insurance providers to chose from. There are four levels of insurance coverage: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The different levels each cover a percentage of expected cost, ranging from 60% to 90% depending on the plan. The average doesn't mean that's what everyone will pay. Factors such as location, family size, age and the type of plan chosen can all affect the price of insurance. An individual in Minnesota will pay an average of $192 a month for a silver plan, but an individual in Wyoming will pay an average of $516 for the same plan, reports the Associated Press.
Health insurers including UnitedHealth (UNH[3]), Aetna (AET[4]), WellPoint (WLP[5]) and Humana (HUM[6]) will all sell plans on some of the exchanges. Molina Healthcare (MOH[7]), which focuses on Medicaid, will also have a part to play in the exchanges, reports Reuters[8].

Security Officer Scenario
Security officer scenario
While Sheila and her colleagues are experiencing optimal productivity thanks to secured mobile access, her Chief Security Officer, Ajay, has additional challenges to face...
Sheila, a senior executive with a Delhi-based international talent search firm, which focuses on top management recruitment, travels at least 15 days a month. Since she processes vast amounts of sensitive data, the organization's security polices have restricted her access when she is on travel. This obviously hinders her performance and information sharing with her team. How would her life change if she could securely connect to her office intranet from any location (home, hotel or any internet café) using her laptop?

Two nationally published authors to be featured at Department of Humanities visiting writers reading on Oct. 9
PLATTEVILLE, Wis. — Two nationally published authors will read for the University of Wisconsin-Platteville's Humanities Department Visiting Writers Reading Series on Oct. 9 in the Harry and Laura Nohr Art Gallery, Ullsvik Hall, from 5-6:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. The Humanities Department Visiting Writers Reading Series features three reading events each semester.
Featured authors at the Oct. 9 reading include Jennifer Perrine and Karla Huston, who will do selected readings of their published works, which include prose and poetry.
"The Visiting Writers Reading Series exposes the members of our campus community to the diverse and vital world of contemporary literature," said Dr. Kara Candito, assistant professor of creative writing at UW-Platteville and recipient of the 2013 Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize. "These readings are especially important to our creative writing students because they provide them with professional models for reading, publishing and promoting their own work."
"UW-Platteville students and faculty alike will benefit from each writer's celebration of empathy and imagination, which are fundamental human conditions best explored by literature and the arts," continued Candito. "Since we began the series in fall 2011, we have noticed that our students' public speaking and reading skills have improved because they've listened to and have been inspired by contemporary poets and fiction writers from a variety of backgrounds."
Perrine's first collection of poems, "The Body is No Machine," won the 2008 Devil's Kitchen Reading Award in Poetry. Her second book, "In the Human Zoo" (University of Utah Press), received the 2010 Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize. In 2014, she will serve as a member of the U.S. Arts and Culture Delegation to Cuba. Perrine teaches in the English department and directs the women's and gender studies program at Drake University.
Huston is the author of "A Theory of Lipstick" (Main Street Rag, 2013) as well as six chapbooks of poetry. Her poems, reviews and interviews have been widely published, including in the 2012 Pushcart Best of the Small Presses anthology. She has also published a collaborative chapbook of poems, written with Cathryn Cofell with Sunnyoutside in 2012. A new chapbook of her poems will be published by Dancing Girl Press in late 2013.
"Reading my poetry to undergraduate students is important because it allows them to connect a face and voice to the poems, which enhances their understanding," said Huston. "Hearing authors read their own work adds nuance and unexpected emphasis and inflection. Later, when students read the poems again, that voice still resonates and rings in their ears."
The Department of Humanities visiting writers readings and other creative writing readings during the past year have been made possible, in part, by donations from an anonymous patron of the arts.
"We are thankful for this support," said Dr. Terry Burns, chair of UW-Platteville's Department of Humanities. "Without it, we likely would not be able to bring such nationally recognized writers to Platteville. Having readings and other events involving writers of this caliber helps enrich the tri-states region. Thriving arts communities are often found where people seem to least expect it."
Following the reading, there will be a question and answer period, refreshments and a book signing.

Ahh, Kamelot, one of my favorite power metal bands. Epica, their sixth studio offering to the metal world, is a splendid piece of work indeed. What did you expect, with a man like Roy Khan on vocals?
Musically, well, it's a fucking mystery to me why Kamelot does not recruit keyboardist Miro permanently. His keyboard work rules big time. Just listen to the intro to "Center Of The Universe". Speaking of that song, it fucking rules. Definitely one of the best power metal songs ebar. It has everything. The brilliant keyboard intro, the powerful guitar work, the fast drums, and the catchy as something really catchy chorus. "But that's standard power metal!" I hear you cry. Sorry, the fact is that "Center Of The Universe" has all those traits completed so much better than in other power metal songs, plus we get that really sweet vocal duet with a very nice female voice. Yes, like OSheaman mentioned, following up on such a brilliant song is hard, but I think that Kamelot does a very very fair effort, and the album has no definitive "bad" songs whatsoever.
The Guitarwork here is very prominent, and not once does the keyboards drown the awesome riffage courtesy of guitarist Thomas Youngblood. His fast playing is as good as anything within this genre, and the slow melodic parts are just like slow melodic playing should be done, slow, but crushing and powerful. And to answer your next question, yes, this album has a fair share of ballads. Now, I love ballads, so naturally, it doesn't hurt the album one bit for me. In fact, these ballads fucking rule. Moreso than many other power metal ballads I've heard. Off course if ballads is not your thing, you are going have somewhat lower opinion on this album (shame on you if you don't like ballads). "Wander" is the definitive ballad on here, especially for that haunting chorus. \m/
The keyboards are, as said, awesome. Be it furious leads or haunting background melodies, keyboardist Miro delivers. GET HIM AS A PERMANENT MEMBER NOW! Ahem….. Were was I? "Descent Of The Archangel" is a prime example of the awesome use of keyboards in the background, like "Center Of The Universe" is THE example of the lead work (the intro). The drums and bass does nothing special for me, but they do what they should do, so no complaints on that part there either.
Now off course, here comes the big one. Almost completely unmentioned until now, Roy Khan, mastermind behind the vocals. Boy, does this guy rule. Easily the best vocalist I've heard in power metal, Khan does everything to perfection on this album. From the incredible power his shows in choruses such as those of "Center Of The Universe", "Farewell" and "Lost And Damned", to the emotional onslaught of the ballads of the album, Khan consistently delivers and owns your soul. Thank you for being such a mighty singer Khan, you really lift this band up to incredible heights.
And yes, you do want the limited edition. "Snow", the bonus track, is an awesome song, and no, it is not ridiculous at all that you get a temporary tattoo with the package. In fact, that's incredibly cool. Now shut up, you filthy "power metal is so cheesy" naysayer, and run out and buy this album. Or download it, or borrow it and burn it. Whatever you do, don't miss it. Hell, even the silly little interludes rule. So sayeth Roy Khan the wise.

'Strange Fruit' and Stalinism
Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
David Margolick, writer of books and articles on legal issues for The New York Times and Vanity Fair, has hit a raw nerve with his haunting book, "Strange Fruit: Billie Holiday, Cafe Society, and an Early Cry for Civil Rights" (Running Press). The book is an account of the scalding impact of one song – a song about a lynching – on scores of Ameri-can activists, writers, musicians, artists and intellectuals.
When I interviewed him, Margolick told me of how he discovered "Strange Fruit": "I got into Billie Holiday 15 years ago and bought a record. When I saw the song's title, I thought it might be a sort of goofy long song with that playful title, kind of exotic and sexy. So I was utterly unprepared for what it actually was. I was amazed by two things: what it was about, and that I didn't know about it.
"I fancied myself a student of civil rights a little bit. I grew up reading about it, caring about it, and I never knew anything about this. So I sensed there was a void. I always had at the back of my mind to write something about it. It stayed and grew in my mind. I just knew there was a story."
"Strange Fruit" was written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish schoolteacher, who used the nom de plume "Lewis Allan," combining the names of two of his children who died as infants.
Meeropol, a Communist who adopted the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953 when they were executed as Soviet spies, first wrote the song as a poem, later setting it to music, when he saw a photograph of a horrendous lynching in a civil rights magazine. In 1939, Meeropol brought the song to Barney Josephson, the owner of Cafe Society, a legendary, integrated Greenwich Village club. Josephson gave the song to Billie Holiday, who made it indelibly her own.
Columbia refused to record the song, and Holiday took it to Milt Gabler, a producer who ran his record label out of his Commodore Record Shop in Manhattan. Gabler recorded it, and it has never gone away. In recent years, the song has been performed by Nina Simone, Tori Amos, Cassandra Wilson, Sting and UB40.
"Decades later," Margolick writes, "the experience of listening to, and watching, Billie Holiday perform 'Strange Fruit' – her eyes closed and head back, the familiar gardenia over her ear, her ruby lipstick magnifying her mocha complexion, her fingers snapping lightly, her hands holding the microphone stand as if it were a teacup – lingered in many memories."
As Pete Hamill has commented, "Strange Fruit" was not concocted by a songwriter with a fedora and a cigar sitting at a piano in the Brill building hoping for a hit. It put a searchlight on one of the ugliest facets of the American experience from 1889 to 1940, when, according to a study by the Tuskegee Institute, 3,833 people were lynched in the United States, 90 percent of them in the South.
Margolick's concentration on just one song's impact is an illustration of the power of the written word to change and transform our lives. I will never forget my own epiphanies of this kind – among them Kay Boyle reading James Baldwin's "The Fire Next Time" to my writing class at the New School for Social Research when it came out in The New Yorker.
I come to Margolick's book from a somewhat unique perspective. While writing my novel about the Rosenbergs, "Red Love," I researched the Communist Party's deeply cynical and exploitative role in the campaign supposedly to free them (in fact, the party, at Soviet direction, wanted nothing of the kind). I also drew upon my own personal adolescence experience, when Communist historian Herbert Aptheker, chronicler of slave rebellions, with his blazing red hair and equally blazing eyes, gave his last lectures at the crumbling Jefferson School of Social Science after Khrushchev's speech about Stalin's crimes in 1956.I loved to watch Aptheker; he was highly intelligent, and there was an inspired lunacy about him.
Sometimes he started "talking black." And sometimes he turned his back to the class for long periods of silent contemplation. We would wait patiently. Stalin's words of inspiration were on the blackboard, and in a shaking voice, Aptheker defended Soviet troops in Hungary and quoted a Brecht poem that Communists did not kill, they stopped killing. Yeah, right. I remember Aptheker once whispering to me that Tennessee Williams was "on our side," that Stanley Kowalski was a "splendid revolutionary," and that Williams' plays were magic (he was right about that).
Aptheker also told me of his own youthful days risking his life battling Jim Crow in the South. On that score I believed him then and I do today. American Communists could betray a good cause in a heartbeat (and Ralph Ellison writes brilliantly of their abrupt abandonment, literally overnight, of Harlem in "Invisible Man"), but like other ideologues, if instructed to do the right thing, they could do it with passionate hearts and sometimes even do it well.
Which brings me to the only difficulty I have with Margolick's elegant and compact book, as enduring an achievement as it is. Margolick uses the word "progressive" to denote everything good, and that includes Henry Wallace, his leadership of the Communist-dominated Progressive Party, and the Communist Party itself. By not critically examining the party's historic role, Margolick almost unwittingly lends himself to the currently fashionable revisionist view of the party as somehow, maybe in spite of itself, a force for democracy-that it really was indigenous, radical and progressive, and not a servile defender of a brutal, anti-Semitic and murderous Soviet status quo that embraced the Hitler-Stalin pact, barbarous repression and concentration camps.
Abel Meeropol's great and beautiful song helped pierce the American conscience and transform society, and that is almost entirely what David Margolick's book is about. But there is an inherent problem in embracing an ethos that somehow suggests, if only by historical omission, that democracies have "no enemies on the left." Stalin and Pol Pot, among many others, would hasten to disagree.


text: I picked up some more wheels during the Christmas break. I just can't help myself! Swapped a set of horrible 19" R8 rims that we were running on Rach's TT while I get my **** into gear and get her BBS's refurbed... for a set of 18" Lamborghini replicas. I quite like them... and Rach even mentioned about keeping them! They're not on yet as Rach is away at the moment with her TT, but as soon as she's home I'll whack 'em on and take some pics. I also swapped my 2nd set of Audi A8 monoblocks for a set of genuine BBS CH's in 8.5x17" fitment. Had them on my car for about an hour until I decided that I couldn't ever part with my Fat5's (well, unless someone offered me silly money for them)... so I've just put them in the classifieds for sale. I'm always on the lookout for something different... lol Note to self - must get Mk3 finished and stop messing with the A4!

Montenegro are relative newcomers to the FIBA Europe family but judging from their performances in international competition so far, the country could become a powerhouse on the old continent very soon.
Less than a year and a half after claiming independence from the joint state with Serbia, Montenegro have celebrated basketball successes.
In the summer of 2007, Montenegro won the U20 European Championship Division B gold medal.
This summer, the senior side won four games without a single defeat in their EuroBasket Division B campaign.
The success rate made the new country proud, and their head coach Dusko Vujosevic as well.
"Our results speak enough how good and how hard we've worked this summer," Vujosevic said.
"My players responded wonderfully to the call for the first Montenegrin national team in basketball and I really have plenty of reasons to be happy," said Vujosevic.
The Partizan Belgrade coach has won seven consecutive club titles on the domestic scene and he is looking a good bet to achieve something big on the international stage, too.
With Montenegro, his charges won 70-63 on their international debut at the Netherlands and then claimed three more triumphs: 96-73 over Austria, 80-66 at Iceland and 96-60 against Denmark.
"I have to salute my friends as they've worked hard since our first practice and acted as true professionals until the very last moment," Vujosevic said.
"I really expect that next year, they'll be even better."
Power forward/center Nikola Pekovic and naturalized guard Omar Cook from the United States were leaders of the squad in the qualifying games in points, rebounds and assists per game.
Montenegro have played in other games as well against more prestigious opponents.
They have defeated Turkey and FYR of Macedonia in friendlies, and they also won a mini-series with Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2-1.
"We've played as visitors in those games, and among the rivals there were teams that will play at the EuroBasket in Poland," Vujosevic said.
"And, out of all those games we've suffered just a single defeat, one in Sarajevo, which was a good sign for qualifying (to Division A).
"Then, when the 'real deal' started, we showed that there are no secrets in basketball. The only secret is hard work. Or, let's say it's about good preparation and a good atmosphere. And we've had that."
Looking ahead to the forthcoming second phase of qualifying for EuroBasket Division A, Vujosevic says his players have no reason to be afraid.
"We are witnesses that surprises happen in sport," he said.
"We can be one of those. Therefore, we don't need to be afraid of forthcoming challenges.
"We just have to work hard and the award for that will come, I'm sure.
"On the other hand, we can't afford to be relaxed, as we are going to reach our goals only if every single member of the national team stays focused on the joint task."

Twas the Night Before...

Nyack's "Poet Laureate"
Mick Williams
During the 2009 Faculty/Staff Christmas luncheon on December 22, the following original masterpiece was shared by our own poet laureate, Mick Williams, Reference Services and Serials Librarian, in Nyack's Bailey Library on the Rockland campus. Columbia College had its Clement Clark Moore; Nyack has its Mick Williams.
With Apologies to Clement Moore, this is...
A Visit from Dear Middle States
'Twas the night before Midterms, when students will grouse,
And the slackers were feeling as low as a louse;
Their iPods were dangling with hardly a care,
In hopes that a nifty tune soon would be there;
Few students were drifting to sleep in their beds,
For visions of essay tests danced through their heads.
Now the Prez in his best suit, a fine one with snap,
Was alone in his office, reviewing a map,
When far down the hillside arose such a clatter
He sprang from his desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the window he flew like a flash
(And hoped that the market would not again crash.
When alumni would give oh his face would just glow,
Which in turn brought great joy to us all, as you know.);
When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But the Middle States crew—which brought twinges of fear.
Such a crack team of scholars, so sharp and so quick,
He knew in a moment that this was no trick.
More rapid than eagles his thoughts went and came,
So he needed his helpers and called them by name:
"Now! Dave, and now! David, now! Carol Ann Freeman,
"Help! Ben and Andrea, Help! Cory and Meehan.
"To the Document Room! Double check one and all!
"We need every word! Every word, great and small!"
As dry syllabi at semester's end fly
When they meet with a garbage can ever so nigh;
So to their computers his helpers they flew,
With clear guidance of just what they needed to do.
So, heartened with certainty there'd be no goof
He waited for Middle States to ask for proof.
As he drew in his breath and was turning around,
Up the stairs came the Middle States Team without sound.
They were all dressed in suits, from each head to each foot,
Quite like pirates they came, seeking truth as their loot.
Each clipboard with forms seemed poised to attack,
And they seemed as ferocious as wolves in a pack.
Their eyes—how they glistened! Their clipboards—how scary,
Their suits were like armor, each held a Blackberry.
Each quizzical mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the look on each face made his blood turn to snow.
A cell phone of sorts was by each set of teeth;
As they walked up the hill each was slipped in its sheath.
At last they got close, and he knew in his belly
That all would be fine, though the waiting was smelly.
"They are friendly and nice," said the Prez to himself,
"Though I know they'll inspect every binder and shelf."
"To think of the stress I've endured from this dread;
"I'm glad I can get it right out of my head."
They spoke just a bit, then got straight to their work,
And jotted on clipboards while guided by Turk;
Though once in a while he'd quote Milton or prose,
The Veep was prepared for each question they'd pose.
The Prez hit his stride, and his team, tough as gristle,
Led their guests to each binder, old file, and epistle.
When the visit was through, ere they drove out of sight,
The Prez knew in his heart everything was all right.

Street Actions Car Club's 6th Annual Charity Car Show and Food/Toy Drive
Tis the season of giving and Gearheads are as giving as any. Take for example the Bay Area, California based Street Actions Car Club and their annual charity car show and food/toy drive: It's a perfect excuse to get together to enjoy some nice cars and give back to the community.
Twenty-thirteen marks the 6th year of the event at the world-famous Vic Hubbard Speed & Marine. Each year the Street Actions Car Club manages to raise at least three barrels of canned food and a truck-load of toys for local charities while show attendees are simultaneously greeted to a free lunch, good music and great times. No matter if you're a Ford, Chevy, Mopar, Euro or Import guy, everyone is welcome to spread the holiday spirit and kick a few tires.
If you find yourself in the Hayward area next holiday season, do yourself a favor and attend the show. Just make sure and bring some canned food and a few toys.

GREEN BAY, Wis., Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Record-setting quarterback Brett Favre has told ESPN that he asked for his release from the Green Bay Packers.
Favre reported to the team this week, ending a retirement he announced in March, but the Packers were apparently at a loss of what to do with the 38-year-old veteran, since they'd already taken steps to replace him at quarterback, including naming Aaron Rodgers the team's starting quarterback.
"We're at a stalemate," Favre told ESPN.com after meeting with Packers Coach Mike McCarthy Tuesday. He said he agreed with McCarthy that his being on the practice field was a "distraction."
He told ESPN.com he planned to meet with team President Mark Murphy and General Manager Ted Thompson.
Favre said Green Bay had rejected his request to talk with other teams in the NFC North. Favre is friends with members of the Minnesota Vikings coaching staff, including head coach Brad Childress.
Favre, who played 16 of his 17 NFL seasons in Green Bay, ended last season with several NFL records including most career touchdown passes (442), passing yards (61,655) and completions (5,377). He also owns the record with 160 victories as a starting quarterback.

Collection at Holy Thursday Mass Will Support Syrian Refugees
The collection will take place during Mass at the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. The pontifical council Cor Unum will send the collected money to Caritas Syria.
| Posted 4/5/12 at 9:55 AM
The collection taken at Pope Benedict XVI's evening Mass on Holy Thursday will go to support humanitarian assistance for Syrian refugees.
The collection is "a very generous gesture by the Pope towards the immense suffering of our people, who also live the consequences of the embargo," Samir Nassar, the Maronite archbishop of Damascus, told Fides news agency.
"It is a gesture of closeness and solidarity that has a strong meaning for us in this Lenten time and of great suffering: It makes the universal Church feel closer to its faithful in difficulty," the archbishop continued.
The collection will take place during Mass at the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. The pontifical council Cor Unum will send the collected money to Caritas Syria.
More than 20,000 Syrian refugees fleeing the conflict between rebel and government forces have crossed the border with Lebanon.
"Over the past two days we have welcomed 100 other families, and the flow of refugees does not stop," Father Simon Faddoul, president of Caritas Lebanon, told Fides recently.
"The situation is worsening dramatically, and we are already in full emergency. Our volunteers do their utmost to be close to people, who arrive exhausted and psychologically tired."
The priest said the Pope's help is "a wonderful initiative, which encourages us a lot."
"We thank the Holy Father and his collaborators for their tenderheartedness," Father Faddoul said. "The Pope is close to all those suffering in the world and is close to the drama of the Syrian people. We hope and pray that the suffering of the Syrian people soon comes to an end."
Archbishop Nassar also stressed the need for peace.
"We keep in mind and we hope that the messages sent by Benedict XVI for a ceasefire, peace, dialogue, freedom in Syria are fulfilled," he said.
The Syrian government has accused insurgents of terrorism and international conspiracy, while the government itself faces accusations of torture and massacres of civilians. Nearly 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
Violence in the major Syrian city of Homs has driven 50,000 Christians from their homes, amid reports that their houses have been attacked and seized by extremists with links to the terrorist group al Qaeda. On March 18 a car bomb exploded near a church in the Catholic quarter of Aleppo.
There are fears that Syria could become a second Iraq, with church attacks, kidnappings and forced expulsions of believers.
Government shelling of towns is also severely worsening the refugee crisis.
President Bashar Assad has accepted an Iran-backed peace plan calling for the army to withdraw to barracks, though that plan has not won the
agreement of Assad's opposition.
The United States, Germany and the Arab League have called for an end to the violence, as has U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

TORONTO In December, catering company the Food Dudes partnered up with club promotion firm Something and Monroe and entrepreneur Steve Georgiev to open Bloke & 4th. With a prime location near the TIFF Bell Lightbox and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the restaurant and lounge was built with events in mind and includes a number of customizable features.
Bloke & 4th is divided into two rooms—the dining room, called 4th, and the lounge, known as Bloke. The spaces can be rented together or individually, although there is only one bathroom for both spaces. The entire site is available for buyouts and holds as many as 380 guests.
Lined with plush blue banquettes and bordered by a bar, the 2,500-square-foot dining room seats 90 and includes a semi-private table for 16 at the window. Exposed brick walls and hanging local art add to the decor.
The same blue banquettes accent Bloke, the open 2,500-square-foot lounge furnished with cocktail tables and small ottomans. A larger bar extends across the space, uplit with customizable coloured lighting. Near the entrance is a small stage with built-in audiovisual equipment, which does triple duty as a V.I.P. area or additional private dining space.
The kitchen is headed by Food Dudes founder, Adrien Niman. The menu features seasonal ingredients and global flavours and can be customized for events.

As many as 500 people ran from the Fiesta Event Center late Thursday night after gunfire erupted at a private party being held inside the center.
According to police, shots were fired on the dance floor just before midnight Thursday, leading to hundreds trying to flee the center.
"Everyone was just dancing. Next thing you know, they started shooting," said patron Dezz Ludgood.
Dallas police said the crowds trampled over each other to escape the violence, leaving behind shoes and other personal items as they fled the center.
"Everybody ran to the door. I fell, that's how I got my pants dirty. People crawling over me," Ludgood said.
According to a letter posted by the El Rio Disco/Club Rio management, the incident occurred during a private party that had hired their own security staff and police.
Off-duty officers called for back-up as the private party turned into a dangerous free-for-all. After the initial shooting, police said more shots were fired in the parking lot of the event center.
Ludgood said tension had been mounting and that a lot of people were saying they were going to start shooting. So they were going to shut it down.
Remarkably, the most serious injury was to a security guard who was shot in the backside. By mid-morning Friday, the guard had been treated and released from an area hospital.
Fiesta Event Center, at 704 South Walton Walker Boulevard, is in the same building as El Rio Disco/Club Disco, where 19-year-old Jose Peralta was shot and killed early Tuesday morning. The Fiesta Event Center and El Rio Disco also share a parking lot, but are not the same business.
Dallas police reports show that since last June police have investigated at least 34 crimes at the address 704 S. Walton Walker Boulevard.
Neighbors said the violence has been plaguing the plaza and more needs to be done to protect everyone's safety.
"There's been some shootings here. Drug busts over here frequently," said neighbor Kenneth Russell. "They patrol during the day, not at night. They need security at night."
Club-goers report being robbed, beaten, their cars burglarized and one woman was kidnapped at gunpoint.
Police said they are continuing to search for the gunman, who slipped away in the chaos.

Hi everyone,
A while ago i wrote a program to solve a sudoku board by way of learning to program in C. It worked and i learned a lot (and caught the bug!)
Now i'm looking at improving it.
The original program was to solve a 9x9 board. But i'd like to modify it so the user inputs the board size.
So i'd have an array: board[width][width][9]
Can anyone suggest the best way to go about this?
Will i have to use malloc()?
Firstly should i have it as a structure?
Or is there no advantage in having a structure with only one variable type?Code:struct board { int array[width][width][9] };
Thanks in advance,

Goldman Sachs Group Inc awarded 22 senior executives and board members more than 736,000 restricted shares worth nearly USD 104 million as part of their 2012 bonuses, according to securities filings on Friday.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc
Goldman Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein received 94,320 restricted shares, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. The shares were worth USD 13.3 million as of Goldman's closing price of USD 141.01 on Thursday, when the shares were granted.
The award was 53 percent larger than the 61,702 restricted shares Blankfein received last year when Goldman's shares traded at USD 113.45.
But Blankfein did not get the biggest award. Vice Chairman Michael Sherwood, who is co-head of Goldman's international division, received 109,461, according to a separate filing. That award was worth USD 15.4 million as of Thursday's closing price of USD 141.01.
The stock awards for executives will be delivered in three equal installments through 2016 and generally cannot be sold for five years. For board members, the shares will be delivered on the first trading day of the third quarter the year after they retire.
Chief Operating Officer Gary Cohn and outgoing Chief Financial Officer David Viniar each received 85,136 restricted shares worth USD 12 million. Vice Chairmen Michael Evans, who is global head of growth markets, and John Weinberg, who is a co-head of investment banking, each received 75,208 restricted shares worth USD 10.6 million.
Mark Schwartz, a vice chairman and chairman of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific who re-joined Goldman in June, received 37,428 restricted shares worth USD 5.3 million.
Chief Accounting Officer Sarah Smith received 36,594 shares worth $5.2 million, while General Counsel Greg Palm received 29,998 shares worth USD 4.2 million. Chief of Staff John Rogers received 28,509 shares worth USD 4 million, Global Head of Human Capital Management Edith Cooper received 26,382 shares worth USD 3.7 million and Global Head of Compliance Alan Cohen received 24,254 shares worth USD 3.4 million.
Goldman's 10 board members also received restricted stock awards ranging from 589 shares worth USD 83,055 for Mark Tucker, the CEO of the Asian life insurer AIA Group Ltd, who joined Goldman's board in November, to 3,829 shares worth roughly USD 539,927 for lead director James Schiro.
Altogether, the directors received 28,741 restricted shares worth USD 4.1 million on Thursday, when they were granted.

Local wins Calgary Stampede Heavy Horse Pull for second year in a row
Thursday, Jul 17, 2014 10:23 am
Airdrie rancher Stan Grad came away from the 2014 Calgary Stampede as a big winner when his team of Belgian horses along with their driver, Randy Dodge, claimed the champion title for the second year in a row in the Heavy Horse Pull competition for middleweight class on July 12.
�Stan�s a good man and he�s done a lot for me over the years,� said Dodge, who co-owns the team with Grad, in a press release.
Dodge, who hails from Albany, Ore., lead horses Simon and Mike to victory by pulling 11,000 pounds of weight a full pull of 14 feet. The second-place winner Kevin Danyluk and his team only managed to pull the impressive amount of weight to the halfway point of about seven feet.
The event, which ran for three evenings during the Stampede, began with each team pulling a combined weight of 3,000 to 3,499 pounds. The weight was progressively increased during the next 10 rounds to the winning pull of 11,000 pounds.
It took until the sixth round, with a weight of 9,000 pounds, before any of the 10 teams entered in the event fell out.
Dodge said the pressure increases for him and the horses with each new round.
�They (the horses) know it�s getting heavier,� he said.
�They�re old veterans so they get worked up for it.�
The driver, who has been competing in the Stampede for the better part of a decade, said he knows the trick with his team.
�When you get wound up, you fight the ground more � then you slip more. If you hold onto the reins a little tighter, you can keep them on their feet.�
This is Dodge�s forth heavy pull victory in row with 11-year-old Mike and his third with nine-year-old Simon.
He said the thing he likes best about competing at the Calgary Stampede in the Agrium Western Event Centre is the benefits of the facility.
�I�ve never pulled in an air-conditioned facility. It was really refreshing when we came into it,� he said.
Rounding out the competition in third place was Cameron Witman and his team Tom and Tickle.

This feature is available only in the
Accountant, Manufacturing and Wholesale, and Retail editions.
Learn how to upgrade
your edition of QuickBooks.
A packing slip serves two purposes. It helps the packager make sure that all
the correct items are included in the customer order, and it gives the customer
a way to make sure the order was fulfilled correctly.
To do this task
If it's not already open, find and open the sales order.
Go to the Customers menu and click Create Sales Orders.
Click Find near the top of the Create Sales Orders window.
Fill in any information you know about the sales order and click Find.
If only one sales order matches the information you entered, that sales order immediately appears. If more than one matches, the Find window appears with the matching sales orders listed in the table at the bottom of the window.
(If the Find window appears) Click the sales order you want and click Go To.
Print and use a pick list to pull the items from inventory.
For a number of reasons, including breakage, theft, and entry errors, the actual quantities of items in inventory may not always match the quantities recorded in QuickBooks. So it's a good idea to use a pick list to pull the items from inventory before printing a packing slip. If you're short on any item, change the quantity on the sales order in QuickBooks first so the packing slip created from the sales order will be accurate. You should also make an inventory adjustment to make the quantity in QuickBooks match the actual quantity on hand.
After pulling the inventory items, open the sales order in QuickBooks again.
Click the Print drop-down arrow and click Print Packing Slip.
(Optional) Change the print settings as needed. More...

It all started off on Wednesday the 4th of July. Left Plymouth at 18:00 to meet up with my friend in Exeter for a quick nap to get up at 02:00 for our road trip to Poole to catch a ferry to Cherbourg, then on to Le mans. July the 5th - 8th. On the way to Poole we met up with a V8 MG midget, V8 Cobra and a our support vehicle, a Toyota Hi-lux Surf. Our convoy now consists of a Audi A4, Clio 182, V8 Cobra, V8 Midget and a Hi-Lux Surf. With the convoy complete we set off for our ferry. The trip to Le Mans was fine. Nothing really special happened, some nice roads, couple of nice cars, lovely weather, typical French sceneries and roads. Bout 20-30mins out side of Le mans my car started to lose power. Any form of a slight incline and it would find it hard to get up the hill, slow down, drop a gear and put my foot down and nothing. It will climb the hills but not very well and struggle to over take cars. I limped it in to the camp site, set up camp and had a quick look over the car. Could not see any thing, so forgot about the car and enjoyed my weekend in Le Mans. Not sure what to say about Le Mans Classic, Its vast. loads of stalls, cars, people, stuff going on. Its expensive. Not something for my self, 15 euros for a burger and chips, 7 euros for a pint of beer and over 60 euros for a T-shirt. I never bought any thing. lol The weather could never make its mind up. It was hot, sunny, cold, windy, raining and generally a pain in the ass!! But the amazing array of cars made up for the weather. The next 3 days was spent walking around the tracks, stalls and enjoying the sights and sounds of the cars. Here is some images. One of few Audis. I think there was 6, mine being one of them. I don't think I fit in here very well. There is even more Le Mans pictures by Axios - Photobucket I'm still uploading, so check back over the next couple of hours.

A lot of photographers made my life very difficult when I came out. They would make up stories about me and tell clients terrible things about me which were flat-out lies. Why did they do that? I always thought it was insecurity on their part, which is funny, because the two that I'm thinking of right now were both capable photographers. I found it very odd that they would waste their mental energy attacking me.I got a lot of positive feedback on the Turnback the Alarm photo that wound up winning the Eclipse Award (1992). After it was published, one of these men said to me, "It's a great shot." And I thought, "Wow, I've made it, this guy actually gave me a compliment!" Then, after I got the award months later, the same guy was standing with a group of people one day and he said, "Barb, you got to admit, anybody could have taken that shot that was there that day."So, here it is twenty years later and they still do stuff like that on occasion. I think these guys are so hard on me because I'm just such a girl. You just see me walking around, and I'm smiling at everybody, feeding apples to the horses. Some of it is about competition -- this is a very competitive business. There is something about me being a bubbly, happy girl that really annoys them. A lot of these people don't love the horses. I just HAVE to do this work because I love horses. I can't do anything else. I walk into that paddock, and there's nowhere else I'd rather be.Buy the book

"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap."
So said former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, quoting Robert Fulghum. And based on the surprisingly passionate responses to my recent column on napping in the workplace, I think many of you would agree with her sentiment.
In that column, I referred to claims that a short nap in the early afternoon can make employees happier and more productive during the day. Almost 200 readers voted in an unscientific poll included with that column, and nearly 84 percent agreed that naps should be allowed in the workplace.
As a person who always feels like he needs a nap, I voted in favor of work siestas. But some readers disagreed.
One person wrote in an online comment: "You're on the clock. If you can't make it through an eight-hour shift without having to nap, then you shouldn't be working and wasting your employer's money."
Others echoed those remarks.
"This is a great idea if you work for a 'mattress testing company,' wrote one reader. "Otherwise, it could result in the need to look for work."
Another wrote: "If you feel the need to nap at work, then consider this: What if you are depending on someone to help you and he decided that rather than really do his job, he's tired, so he's napping. Maybe he's a flight controller. Yeah, napping at work — what a great idea. It could also be considered stealing from your employer if he's paying you for that time that you nap.
"Schedule your own time better. And quit with the excuses and the whining. I've worked 13-hour days for weeks on end and never napped and did the job I was paid to do."
I did point out in the original column that I was referring to workers who aren't in life-or-death jobs. I wouldn't want an air traffic controller taking a nap while my plane was on final approach. But not everyone has that kind of occupation.
Most readers who replied to the column were more positive about a quick nap's positive effects on the body and mind.
"Why be embarrassed by napping at work? People who take time to smoke at work aren't embarrassed. People who have non-work-related conversations at work aren't embarrassed," wrote one person in an online comment. "If napping isn't allowed, the quality and speed of the work suffers because the person is tired."
Another pointed out the role of naps in the work/life equation. "As I see it, work/home are fairly meshed now," read this online comment. "I see nothing wrong with engaging in personal activities on occasion at work, as I do have to engage in work activities at home. If a nap makes a person more productive, I say take it. In the end, being someone in management, I care more about results than whether someone is chained to their desk from 8-5."
I agree with this comment wholeheartedly. Nearly every day, I spend time handling work issues at home. Many of us have 24/7 jobs that require that kind of attention.15 comments on this story
The key, as this comment points out, is not whether an employee snoozes for 20 minutes during the afternoon. It's about productivity. And, based on my experience as a manager, happy workers are generally more productive and committed to helping a company meet its goals.
So, if we take this to the next level, should businesses offer "quiet rooms" in which people can catch some rejuvenating slumber? Have you ever worked at a company that offered that kind of space? How did it work out? Please let me know.
(And if you think milk and cookies should be provided, too, don't forget to mention that.)

Marion Jones admitted using steroids before the 2000 Olympics in a recent letter to close family and friends, The Washington Post reported. Jones, a triple gold medalist in Sydney, said she took "the clear" for two years, beginning in 1999, and that she got it from former coach Trevor Graham. Graham told her it was flaxseed oil. "The clear" is a performance-enhancing drug linked to BALCO, the lab at the center of the steroids scandal in professional sports. (WRAL.com)

WILKES-BARRE — The scar remains visible on Francis William Petroski's face, but the veteran correctional officer says it was the fallout from a convicted killer's prison knife-slashing that cut deepest.
The longtime SCI Dallas correctional officer announced his retirement following Joel Perez's conviction Wednesday afternoon by a Luzerne County jury, citing a life changed and a career cut short due to the brazen ambush.
The inmate's attack, Petroski said in a statement, cost him "a career that I would have continued on with had this incident not occurred."
Perez, 42, was convicted on all five counts related to the April 17, 2014, ambush inside the medium-security state prison. The jury returned its verdict at about 1:15 p.m., less than an hour after deliberations were forced to restart due to a juror's excusal.
Perez did not react as the jury foreman announced his fate.
Petroski, 45, of Dallas, said the attack strained his personal relationships, changed the person he used to be and fed into his decision to walk away from a nearly 17-year career as a corrections officer.
"It has kept me on edge watching my back," said Petroski, a former member of the U.S. Army National Guard. "It has brought on negativity that wasn't there previously. All in all, it has changed the man I once was."
Prosecutors said Perez, who arrived at the prison in 1996 following a murder conviction in Lancaster County, sneaked up from behind Petroski, whispered something in his ear and slashed the right side of his face with a toothbrush handle embedded with a pair of razor blades.
A visible scar remains on the right side of Petroski's face.
Assistant District Attorney Michelle Hardik said the attack seriously injured Petroski and disfigured him for life. The scar, she said in her closing argument Wednesday morning, serves as a reminder of the ambush each time Petroski looks into a mirror.
Petroski, hired at the prison in 1999, and several fellow correctional officers that took the stand during the three-day trial identified Perez as the attacker. They say he fled down the prison's main corridor before being taken to the ground and subdued.
Perez, however, had maintained his innocence, saying he is being "used as a scapegoat" because correctional officers inside the prison failed to protect themselves. Perez, who represented himself, claimed he had no motive to attack Petroski, who previously regarded him as a "quiet, church-going man."
"Because I came out running from that block (does) not make me guilty," Perez said Tuesday. "If someone was charging at you … you would run too." Perez did not testify in his own defense.
Hardik said she was pleased with the verdict and hoped it will provide closure to Petroski and his family.
"You go to work one day and you don't expect essentially your entire life to be changed," Hardik said after the hearing. "At least a piece of it he can put behind him now."
SCI Dallas spokesperson Robin Lucas confirmed Petroski retired Sept. 25. He is entitled to a partial pension, she said.
Hardik said she will ask for Perez's sentence to be served consecutive to his life sentence, noting a large amount of restitution is also in play.
"I understand it appears there isn't much we're going to be able to do but that doesn't mean we're going to choose not to seek justice for the victims in this matter," she said. "It at least sends a message that this kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated."
As Perez was being led out of the courthouse, he told reporters he wasn't surprised by the verdict because there were no "Spanish people" or "black people" on the jury.
"There's 12 white people, and it's a case against a white person," Perez said, noting he will likely appeal.
The jury initially began its deliberations shortly after 10:30 a.m., but was forced to start over about two hours later after juror David Thompson was excused. Thompson told Luzerne County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. his dog had just died and was replaced by an alternate.
Told of Perez's comments, Hardik said the jury was "clearly attentive to the matter."
"They reviewed the evidence," Hardik said. "They clearly put a lot of thought into it."

Alex hockey falls 6-2 in Class A quarterfinals
Red Wing's junior forward Nicole Schammel proved to be too much to stop for the Alexandria girls' hockey team as the Cardinals fell 6-2 in the Class A quarterfinals on Wednesday morning.
Schammel came into the day with 120 points and 69 goals on the season. She left with four more after securing the hat trick in the first period and adding another in the second.
"What a phenomenal player," Alexandria head coach Andy Shriver said. "Nicole gets out there and she doesn't draw that attention to herself. She just has this incredible hockey sense where she puts herself in these great positions and then her skills and her execution is just about flawless."
Schammel's play trumped a solid effort by the Cardinals in a game that was a little closer than the final score indicates. The Cardinals fell behind 1-0 just 15 seconds into the game but found a way to answer back. Nicole Bartels found herself alone almost four minutes after that first goal and fired a wrister that got past Red Wing's Ashley Corcoran to tie things up.
Schammel simply took over the rest of the opening period. She went to her back hand at 11:18 to give herself an open net for a goal. In a span of a little more than four minutes, she added two more to give her team a 4-1 lead at the first intermission.
"That really helps," Red Wing head coach Scott Haley said of the early lead. "I think it takes a lot of pressure off of our defense. It makes us all look pretty smart when she puts three in in the first period."
The Cardinals didn't quit forcing the issue in the second period. Lauren Niska made a nice charge at the net that set up a goal that was credited to senior Shelby Iverson just 1:23 into the period. Alexandria continued to pressure Corcoran but missed making it a 4-3 game on a couple of pucks that trickled just wide of the post. Alexandria outshot Red Wing 14-11 in the second period.
"I mean, I think if you take everybody that watched this game, it's human nature to look at the scoreboard and crumble a little bit," Shriver said. "It was almost the opposite. We came in and licked our wounds for a few minutes but then came out and outshot them in the second. The score actually looked really good until they got two."
Schammel did what she had to do to take away any hopes of Alexandria coming all the way back. She released a wrister for her fourth goal of the day before her teammate, Emily Stegora, ended the scoring with less than a minute left in the second period.
Alexandria freshman Amy Jost got the start in net and had 26 saves. Corcoran got the win with 25 saves, including 13 in the second period.
The Cardinals will have a chance to put this game behind them when they get right back on the ice tomorrow morning at 10. Alexandria will move to the consolation bracket at Ridder Arena on the campus of the University of Minnesota. They will take on the loser of the day's second quarterfinal game between The Blake School and Mound Westonka.
Shriver isn't worried about a letdown for a team that wants to finish this week off on a positive note.
"We've got senior captains in there who as they continue to cheer on their teammates down four goals with five, six minutes left in the game, then we stepped off the ice and they're talking about tomorrow," he said. "Talk about character. I'm not worried at all. We said if we were playing pond hockey tomorrow, we'd be awesome there too. It wouldn't be for the state championship, but we'd be there. That's the plan."

It seems the proposed £43bn High Speed 2 rail link will create rather a slowdown on the "old-fashioned" rail network – i.e. the bit we all use.
Robert Goodwill, the transport minister, revealed in the Commons last Wednesday that around 386 weekend closures on parts of the existing routes will be "necessary" when construction of HS2's routes between Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester gets underway, if it ever does.
That'll cheer up all those long-suffering residents who live near the line, who pretty much hate the whole project anyway.
Not in the Earl's back yard ...
The stand-off between London's second-biggest landowner, Earl Cadogan, and the billionaire Lebanese former prime minister, Najib Mikati, over a controversial "iceberg" basement extension shows no signs of thawing.
Dashwood learns there have been so many objections to the proposal by Mikati's London property company, M1 Group, for a two-level subterranean extension in Chelsea that the council has pushed back a decision on the plans, due in early January, until next month.
Of course, the Earl has more interest in keeping noise created by M1's proposed basement conversion to a minimum. The two townhouses that M1 hopes to enhance are within earshot of his Cadogan Estates HQ.
John "Eight Jags" Caudwell
John Caudwell, the founder of Phones4U, was last week granted permission for his £250m Mayfair mega-mansion thanks to "exceptional circumstances".
Among the 12 parties opposing the billionaire's 40,000 sq ft project was Westminster Council's highways planning team, which queried whether Caudwell really needs parking spaces for eight cars, rather then the two per household permitted by existing policy.
But the council decided the proposed three-storey subterranean car-park is a special case, after Caudwell, whose fleet of motors includes a Bentley Azure, assured that his eight parking spaces will be mostly used as "storage".
It never rains, but it pours
Like the flooding that caused chaos of "biblical proportion" at Gatwick on Christmas Eve, the inquiry into the impact of those adverse weather conditions has also, sadly, proved a washout.
The airlines and travel agencies left out of pocket by the 121 flight cancellations were due to meet last Friday in a London hotel – except, less than three hours before the Open Forum summit, chair David McMillan emailed round with a raincheck.
To the wry amusement of attendees, the Flight Safety Foundation chief cited: "The bad weather and the problems with the transport system today."

Great Silverlight news coming out of Microsoft Press Pass
A) "Microsoft Corp. today released to the Web (RTW) Silverlight™ 1.0, a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering richer user experiences on the Web. Silverlight significantly reduces development and deployment costs and provides enhanced Web audio and video streaming and playback using industry-leading Windows Media® Technologies. " (from the press release)
So the 1.0 version is finally out! Does this mean we might see some official Silverlight curriculum materials for uni's on the way? I'll be pushing for it! Stay tuned.
B) More excitingly, (IMHO), Microsoft have announced a partnership with open source heavyweights Novell to deliver support for Moonlight, a new version of Silverlight that will run on Linux (started on by Mono - Moonlight screenshots found here). I had heard rumours of this happening earlier, but this is the first confirmed news coming out of the Silverlight camp that such a project will go ahead. This is a big thing given that Microsoft is so often maligned for being anti-open source. It's also big news given that it's inability to operate on *nix platforms was a major factor holding back alot of prospective adopters. Interestingly, the press release doesn't really spell out what the partnership will entail, but I didn't really expect I'd see OSS oldies and Microsoftee's working together just yet, so any kind of collaboration is a good start.
Could this be a sign of more OSS collaboration to come? The company are doing alot to try to make nice with the Open Source Community, with things like this, sharing Windows source code with academics and services such as codeplex.

Modes of Interaction between Divorced Parents
I develop a model in which exact compliance with child support orders is synonymous with cooperative outcomes with respect to child good expenditures The child support order imposed by institutional agents serves as focal point for the problem of dividing the gains from cooperation. Compliance is observed when the gains from cooperation exceed the value of noncooperation for both parents. The model is estimated using administrative data from the state of Wisconsin. My estimates imply that increasing child support enforcement activities may have weak effects on the welfare of children of divorced parents.

UAE Ministry of Economy and Business Software Alliance launch "Using unlicensed software can shut down your business" campaign
UAE Ministry of Economy and Business Software Alliance launch "Using unlicensed software can shut down your business" campaign
Country-wide initiative focuses on legal consequences of using and selling pirated software
The Business Software Alliance (BSA), the leading global organisation established by the business software industry to promote a safe and legal digital world, in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Economy (MoE), has announced that it has recently launched the "Using unlicensed software can shut down your business" campaign, a UAE-wide anti-piracy initiative that seeks to further improve the country's global image as a secure IT investment destination.
The month-long campaign, which ran from May 4 to June 10, 2008, also aimed to spread awareness about intellectual property rights (IPR) laws and the legal consequences of using and selling pirated and illegal software. The anti-piracy drive also highlighted the negative impact of piracy to all members of society, particularly in terms of lost jobs, declining tax revenues and a less competitive economy.
"This comprehensive campaign included all media outlets in the UAE because we wanted to reach out to as many individuals and organisations as possible," noted H.E. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Alshihhi, Undersecretary, MoE. "This is an excellent platform to complement the UAE's stringent anti-piracy policies."
According to the Fifth Annual BSA and IDC Global Software Piracy Study released in May 2008, the UAE has the lowest piracy rate in the Gulf region at 35 per cent.
Jawad Al Redha, BSA Co-Chairman for the Gulf commented: "Through this campaign, we intend to deliver the message that using unlicensed software can lead to severe consequences, including the possibility of the closure of a business for a limited period of time. Additionally, using pirated or counterfeit software can compromise the integrity of the IT network, may result in long-term damage to reputation and additional financial costs to the business."
"Another important component of the anti-piracy campaign was to deliver strong and consistent legalisation messages in key markets across the Gulf, aimed at promoting a legal and safe digital business environment and helping reap the benefits of a piracy-free society," added Al Redha.
Other activities to be held as part of the campaign include a number of criminal complaints to be submitted by BSA members against illegal resellers within the next two months.
The awareness campaign also seeks to enlighten the public on the possible consequences faced by the management of offending businesses. According to the UAE Federal Law No.7 of 2002 concerning copyrights, management representatives of organisations that use illegal software can also face criminal prosecution.

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.
In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.
An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).

Style: Funky gospel fun; compare to Da' T.R.U.T.H., tobyMac, Kirk Franklin
Top tracks: "I Need You," "He Understands," "We Are the City"
Freddy Washington has spent enough time behind the scenes—producing and writing tracks for Da' T.R.U.T.H. and Melinda Watts—that it should come as little surprise that his debut solo venture is a solidly packed, stylistically diverse double CD set. There are far more hits than misses on The Jesus Album, with his biggest successes coming when he leans on his gospel roots. Those tracks in particular find some deep, body-moving grooves perfect for stuck-in-traffic air drumming or bringing the congregation to its feet. Granted, this could have been whittled down to a tight single CD collection, but Washington maintains a great flow throughout, making even the lesser songs go down smooth.1
