Actor and comedian Patton Oswalt kicked off The 18th Annual Webby Awards with an opening monologue that simultaneously honored and poked fun at the weird and wonderful world of the Web.
"Any bitcoin people in the crowd?" he quipped. "Are you broke or wealthy? What time is it?"
He also spared no barbs for the FCC and its latest efforts to kill net neutrality: "Please stop the bullshit about making the Internet 'fast lane.' You're not making an Internet fast lane. You're making the other lanes slower," he said to applause.
(See Patton's full monologue here.)
The Webbys were held on Monday, May 19, at Cipriani Wall Street, where winners and industry insiders alike gathered to enjoy Oswalt's scotch-infused commentary – and, of course, to celebrate the best of the Web.
Among last night's winners were Special Achievement honorees like De La Soul, named Artist of the Year for giving away their entire catalogue as a free digital download; Kickstarter, named Breakout of the Year for revolutionizing the way projects get funded; and Taylor Schilling, who took home the Actress of the Year Webby for Orange Is the New Black.
Each year The Webbys also honors a Lifetime Achievement Winner, and 2014's was Dr. Lawrence Lessig, co-founder of Creative Commons and a true champion of the open Web, who gave this five-word speech: "So, I'm not dead yet."
It was a great year overall for five-word speeches (a Webby hallmark), which ran the gamut from inspirational to zany — such as "'Eventually everything connects,' Charles Eames," from Dots; and "We're sleeping in your bed," from Airbnb. (Check out Five-Word Speech highlights here.)
With this year marking the 25th anniversary of the Web, attendees were also treated to an especially moving speech by the founder of the Web himself, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, in defense of the free and open Internet.
"In this particular country, where we happen to be right now, the battle must rage again," he said.
He followed that up with a poignant three-word speech: "Up to us."

I have access to an Employee Assistance Program and counseling services...as well as psychologist/social worker benefit as part of my health care...so resources are not an issue...
What kinds of counselor can help the most?
When do/should we go together?
Thank you for everyone's help.....I really appreciate everything...
Biggest thing for you is DON'T LIE! Any omission is also a lie. Get it all out. My wife lied to the counselor and I for a year, and I might as well have flushed all that money and time down the toilet. If you're going to do this, do it all the way.
[This message edited by NotDefeatedYet at 9:41 PM, July 29th (Monday)]
I thought one on one counseling would be best first.....thanks...No....no lies...thats stopped.....I need to keep what I have been used to doing...LYING....in check
Does anyone know if there is a specific kind of counselor that works best?
My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.

Ah, thanks.
Somehow I just didn't know what to do, so I quit this session (perhaps I should have said "good bye" properly, but I thought that everyone had enough things to do so I didn't want to disturb everyone too much).
The Bottle of Air is a nice thing I wonder how it looks like ? - Someone wanted to sell it.
I remembered that when I entered the lighthouse quest, I was a bit disappointed. It didn't have anything to do with the lighthouse building as such.
And here is my proof that I did do the whole jumping towards the tavern (I did not dare to jump back, however) :

What should you do if your dog eats chicken bones?! My dog did it.
Lots of other dogs have too.
Here's what you need to know and what you should do if your dog eats chicken bones…
My Dog Ate Chicken Bones
Back in the days when I was single, I took my dog with me on vacation everywhere I went. This frequently included long-distance road trips — usually from Texas to Florida, or Florida to Indiana. He loved it.
Jersey's always been a great car dog. He sits still. He doesn't get antsy. He just looks out the window or sleeps — right there on the front seat next to me.
But on one trip, I stopped at a Kentucky Fried Chicken and purchased a boxed chicken dinner for myself.
I ate it in the car, while Jersey ate some of his dog food. When I was done, I put the box on the floor in the back seat — fully intending to throw it away once we got to the next stopping place. Only I forgot.
Unfortunately, when I stopped at the convenience store to get gas and use the restroom, I returned to find the entire box of chicken contents on my front seat. There were pieces everywhere — pieces of chicken… pieces of chicken bones… pieces of box… pieces of napkins.
I panicked. Knowing that my dog had obviously ingested a number of chicken bones (thigh and breast), I feared he would puncture his innards or not be able to pass the bones at all.
Everyone knows that chicken bones are dangerous for dogs to eat — especially cooked chicken bones — because they're dry & brittle and they splinter into lots of tiny (and sharp!) pieces inside your dog's tummy after they've been chewed and swallowed.
Fortunately, the bones that my dog ingested on this day passed just fine — but it took a couple of days. I was completely on edge for that part of the vacation.
Thankfully, he didn't seem to suffer much from what could have been a scary incident.
What To Do If Your Dog Eats Chicken Bones
Since there isn't much that you can do after the chicken bones have been ingested by your dog, you simply need to monitor him closely for the next few days.
- Watch the dog's stool — Keep checking your dog's stools to see if the bones pass. Watch for blood in the stool, or any signs that he's straining to defecate. If so, take your dog to the vet.
- Watch the dog's mood — You should also keep an eye on your dog's temperament. If he becomes moody or listless, take him to a vet immediately.
- When feeding the dog try to cushion the bones — Perhaps the best thing you can do is try to "cushion" the tiny bones inside your dog's tummy by overfeeding him a little more over the next couple of days. A piece of bread and cooked rice (that's completely cooled first) are ideal. They're gentle on a dog's stomach and digestive tract. You can serve up a small helping of plain white rice alone, or mix some cooked rice in with your dog's normal dog food and/or some low-salt chicken broth along with broken up pieces of bread.
- Monitor your dog — Then, you just wait and see. Chances are, everything will come out fine in the end.
- Do not induce vomiting — It is generallynot recommended to induce vomiting to recover solid objects like chicken bonesbecause these sorts of sharp objects can potentially cause problems on the way back up.
Here's a vet's viewpoint: What You Should Do If Your Dog Ate Chicken Bones
A dog swallowing chicken bones is not something that should be taken lightly:
- Dogs can choke on chicken bones.
- In some cases, the bones can get caught in the stomach or intestines and wreak havoc on your dog's insides.
- If your dog's behavior changes in any way after eating chicken bones, it is important to contact your vet, because x-rays may be necessary.
Here are the signs of intestinal blockage in dogs.
What About Turkey Bones And Dogs?
Dogs can eat turkey, but not turkey bones.
A veterinarian weighs in: Can Dogs Eat Turkey Bones?
Turns out, any kind of cooked bones are bad for dogs — because they tend to splinter, which can damage your dog's throat or intestines.
Raw bones for dogs are a different story.
Here's what you need to know about dogs and bones:
- Which Bones Can Hurt Your Dog + Which Bones Are Safe For Dogs
- Some Things To Think About Before Giving Your Dog A Bone
- Raw vs Cooked Bones For Dogs
Some Precautions You Can Take
The biggest lesson I've learned: NEVER leave food in places where your dogs can get it — now or later!
It's not worth taking the chance. You don't want to find out (the hard way) that cooked bones can, indeed get stuck in a dog's throat, or tear up the dog's intestines, or worse… require surgery.
Many veterinarians have weighed in to say that it does happen, even if it doesn't happen every single time. You never know until it happens whether your dog is going to gulp down the bones (bad), or bite them into smaller pieces that could cause blockages (bad), or grind up the bones with his teeth before swallowing (good).
So, if you've got large dogs in your home (or maybe even small or medium sized dogs who just happen to be good jumpers!), you'll want to remember to push plates, dishes, and leftovers up high enough and back far enough out of the reach of your dog.
And maybe your dog won't poke his head in the trash can when you're around. But the minute you're not within sight, chances are, he'll sniff out anything smells good & tasty in there.
So, be sure to keep your garbage pail behind a door or cabinet that latches securely shut. Or, purchase a heavy-duty, stable garbage can for the kitchen that has a lid your dog couldn't possibly open.
Here are the best dog-proof trash cans, plus tips for keeping your dog out of the garbage.

"The pen is mightier than the sword."
~Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Nowadays, this quote has been changed to "The keyboard is more powerful than a gun. ", which to me means, some of the words which are posted online (or in texts and emails), can, in some instances, hurt another person so badly, they decide to end their life.
When I hear stories of children committing suicide because they were bullied, it breaks my heart.
Because of words, and possibly the inability to defend themselves, the self esteem of these children ended up in the toilet and they (probably) felt like life wasn't worth living. Maybe they felt worthless. Or felt they were a burden on society. That no one cared about them. Maybe they didn't feel loved, wanted, needed and/or heard.
Because I haven't walked in their shoes, I can't say exactly why a child would take their own life, but the world won't be the same without them. They will be missed.
Today's Lesson
Cyber bullying is on the rise and as more young people sign on to social networking sites or start blogging, the problems will undoubtedly escalate.
Cyber bullying won't go away, but it can be minimized.
When I analyze social networking sites and blogs, I see how problems can emerge.
Let's look at Facebook. They utilize a "like" button and label those we communicate with with as "friends".
Most adults can differentiate between real friends and online friends, but can children?
We enjoy the "like" button as it's a quick and easy way to give a thumbs up to what others are sharing, but children may feel if no one "likes" what they post, then they're not liked either.
Sites like Twitter with their "followers" and Google Plus with their "circles" use different terminology, but it still comes down to who "accepts our request(s)" and follows us back. Who likes us, so to speak.
It also makes me wonder if bloggers contribute to the problem.
In my travels around the blogosphere, I've seen where some blog authors let their commenters rate other comments as "winner", "loser", "spam", and "like". Although this gives others a chance to quickly share what they think of other comments, it also lets fellow bloggers be the judge and jury.
Instead of verbally disagreeing with the opinions of others, we can instantly place a virtual "loser" stamp on the comment/author.
If children observe adults doing this, might we be teaching them to do the same? To label others?
Although some will say it's solely the parent's job to be a good role model and monitor what a child does online, a parent cannot realistically be with a child 24/7. Plus, even if we are doing everything right to raise well balanced, self confident children, a child is more apt to listen to the words of their peers rather than those from a parent.
With cyber bullying, it's words which are killing or negatively affecting our young people. Words which hurt. Words which others don't take responsibility for. Words which are often published in haste.
I wish I had a sure-fire way to stop cyber bullying, but I don't.
What I do have though, is a blog; a place where I can ask you for your suggestions.

THE patter is unmistakably Boardwalk, handed down for decades from summer to summer: ''A winner every time. Step right up. Winner takes his choice. Come on, only need one more to play.''
But the accent is different. The name tag attached to the young woman at the water-gun race at the Schellenger Avenue Pier reads ''Verushka,'' and she is here from Ukraine.
''I am here, as they say, because America is the land of opportunity,'' the 22-year-old blond woman said. ''And this is my opportunity to have fun for the summer.''
A generation ago, the invasion of summer workers was predominantly from Philadelphia and its suburbs or from North Jersey or maybe Staten Island. But as business boomed along the shore in the 1980's, Irish workers on special visas started to join them. But Ireland has prospered in recent years, and there is little reason to stray.
As a result, summer visitors to the Jersey Shore are increasingly hearing Eastern European accents. With temporary work permits in hand, young people from Poland, Russia, Romania, and other former Eastern Bloc countries have come out from behind the old Iron Curtain and into the pizza parlors, Boardwalk amusements, and T-shirt concessions.Continue reading the main story
''I think the Irish thing started because there were just some jobs, menial things like being a chamber maid, that local kids didn't want to do any more,'' said Richard Samuelson, who owned Poor Richard's Inn, a bed and breakfast in Cape May for 25 years.
In the 1980's, Mr. Samueson said, he started hiring Irish workers, whom he found reliable -- even if they did party quite a bit.
''Then around 1990, you started getting two groups, the hard workers and the partiers, and you had to distinguish them,'' he said. ''By the mid-1990's, the economy in Ireland started getting better, so only the partiers were coming. So a few years ago, everyone started hiring the Yugoslavs and Polish and Romanian kids, who were the new hard workers.''
At the same time this was happening, the circumstances of local college youths was changing. ''Today's college kids are looking for jobs that will give them an edge in the future work world,'' said Jeanne DeYoung, who runs the Monmouth County Tourism Department.
For instance, she said her own children have forsaken traditional beach jobs, even though they live nearby, to work at internships in their chosen fields. ''On top of that, they either go to summer school or start college so much earlier than before. If you own a pizza parlor, are you going to hire a kid who is going back to school on Aug. 20, or a kid from Russia who might not have to go home until the end of September?''
The Morey Organization, which owns the three major amusement piers and several hotel properties in Wildwood, hires from 700 to 800 young workers from up to 30 countries every year, advertising on its Web site and sending recruiters to international employment fairs to make sure each applicant's English, deportment and working papers are satisfactory.
While the typical starting salary paid by Morey is $6 an hour (plus such perks as help with housing, trips to Philadelphia and Washington, and discounts on rides and pier food) may not attract middle-class youths from the suburbs, it has been fine for those wanting to spend the summer in Wildwood.
At the Lobster House, the largest restaurant and fish market in Cape May, Eastern Europeans have been filling up jobs formerly reserved for local youths for the last two years or so.
''I can't tell you exactly why, but we employ about 500 people,'' said Jackie Dever, banquet manager at the Lobster House. ''We needed more and more and they were there and willing to work. I'd say most of ours are Russian or Polish.''
Most visitors seem to take the unfamiliar accents in stride and with a touch of humor.
''It shows we won the cold war,'' said Bill Morrow of Cherry Hill, a visitor to the boardwalk. ''It's perfect that they have come here to see what we have.''
Still, not everyone is happy. The Cape May Herald, a free weekly newspaper, published a virulent complaint in what it calls ''Spout Off'' and features letters from readers.
''I am fed up with the Russian invasion of Wildwood Crest,'' read the posting, signed only ''Wildwood Crest.'' ''You can't even go to -- for instance -- a locally owned ice cream parlor that you have gone to for 20 years and receive the correct order. And forget about going near the library. That might as well be the Russian Embassy. If you get a work visa, learn how to speak English.''
Mr. Samuelson admitted that sometimes the language barrier was difficult, though it was usually overcome with their sincerity, patience and work ethic.
''Can you imagine how grateful they are?'' he said. ''They come here and make, in some cases, as much as their parents might in a year. They are on the beach for the summer and have a great time, even when they are packed in eight to a two-bedroom apartment. I'm sure they speak highly of being here, since more and more come to try to work every year it seems.''
Verushka, the water-gun race barker, agreed.
''I will try to come back again and I'm sure I can convince several friends,'' she said. ''I never heard of the Jersey shore at home, but now it seems like paradise.''Continue reading the main story

UK rates may head higher
The Bank of England has given its clearest indication yet that interest rates may start to climb again.
The release of UK inflation data on Tuesday also diminished the chance of any further cuts to interest rates.
UK prices in June steadied at a two-year high of 2.4%, only 0.1% below the Bank of England's inflation target of 2.5%.
This means that any further moves to stimulate the economy could risk sparking an excessive rise in inflation.
Peter Luxton of Standard and Poor's said: "They're not going to be prepared to cut rates very early unless the UK economy does collapse quite sharply."
Unemployment falls
Also on Wednesday, the Office for National Statistics reported that the number of Britons out of work and claiming unemployment benefit had fallen by 12,000 in June to 963,700.
However, a 6.7% fall in vacancies posted at UK Jobcentres hinted that the unemployment figure may start to rise in the coming months.
The BBC's economics reporter Jenny Scott said that there is often a time lag between when companies begin to experience a downturn and when they cut jobs.
She pointed out that tight cashflows also encourage companies to avoid incurring redundancy costs, while there is still hope that they can ride out a slowdown.
Last month, jobless claims dropped for the eighth successive month, touching its lowest level for 25 years.
MPC minutes
The Bank of England minutes also revealed that the MPC voted eight-to-one in favour of keeping rates on hold at 5.25% during its July meeting.
"Members agreed that while there had been a considerable amount of news during the month, on balance it had not greatly altered their views on the appropriate settings of policy, although for some the news made it rather less likely that the next movement of interest rates would be down," the minutes said.
The uncertainty over the next movement in rates reflected the "dichotomy" in the economy with retail sales and the housing market surging ahead while exporters continued to struggle.
The minutes added: "The committee should monitor the situation, being prepared to adjust rates in either direction in the light of new information."
World prospects
Prospects for the world economy remained "mixed" with the United States holding up better than had been feared, but with Europe and Japan doing worse than had been expected.
The strength of the pound against the euro would continue to make life difficult for exporters, the minutes added.
Although recent inflation figures had been higher than expected, pressure on prices from seasonal foods and oil costs had begun to recede.
There was still some evidence of a "more broadly based" increase in inflation, although this may not persist, the minutes said.
Falling rates
Interest rates have come down three times since the start of the year, as the Bank of England attempts to stave off the effects of a slowdown in the global economy.
Earlier this month, the MPC left them unchanged for the second month in a row.
It last cut rates - by a quarter-point - at its meeting in May.
The MPC minutes held few surprises for analysts.
"In the minds of some MPC members the easing cycle is close to an end, but I think with the global economy still slowing down the jury is still out on this particular score."
Analysts also welcomed a slowdown in wage inflation, with the headline rate of average earnings falling slightly in May to 4.8%.

MONGO: Adventures in Trash
After moving to New York in the 1990s and furnishing his apartment with bounty from the city streets, the author discovered he wasn't the first or only enterprising scavenger around. In this entertaining narrative, Botha (Apartheid in My Rucksack ) delves into a world of avid collectors who forage New York's garbage for everything from empty soda cans and leftover sushi to old coins and first editions. These treasures even have a distinct name—mongo—which The Cassell Dictionary of Slang defines as "any discarded object that is retrieved," Botha explains. Each chapter examines a different category of mongo seeker, from pack rats and preservationists to voyeurs and visionaries, whom Botha befriends and accompanies on their mostly nocturnal routes. Some of the most fascinating sections involve Dave, "The Treasure Hunter," whose frequent forays to Manhattan's landfills yield precious gems caked with mud; and "The Anarchists," a band of bicycle-riding young people who forgo grocery shopping in favor of gathering edibles from plastic bags outside restaurants. Steven, "The Dealer," a used- and rare-book merchant whose entire inventory comes from the street, emerges as one of the tour's most industrious characters; he gets up before dawn and "works more diligently than anyone in an office, seven days a week." Though some of Botha's observations are repetitive, he's an able guide through the undisputed capital of mongo. His sensitive and nonjudgmental study portrays a previously overlooked but resilient and passionate population as one that's worthy of attention and respect. Agent, Luke Janklow. (June 28)
Forecast: This book could have a strong New York following. Botha will conduct NYC mongo walking and collecting tours for booksellers and media, and the publisher will run ads in the New Yorker.

So, I am working on a new ecommerce website, and it has an affiliate program, which I would like to set up and run, except it is asking users for their tax id, which seems like overkill since I am only going to pay in store credit. I would like to remove the request for the user's tax id, except I realize if I just remove it from one page, it's going to be missing it elsewhere in the program, so instead, I would like to assign a value to the tax id (just a dummy number or something (It's not any sort of key database value or anything)) and remove the prompt for the user to fill in.
The code in question reads:
Tax ID#:
<input name="txtTaxId" type="text" id="txtTaxId" size="15" class="txtBoxStyle" value="[strTaxId]" maxlength=12>  (SSN# or EIN#)
How do I tell it that the tax id is _________ and assign that value to whatever the important variable(s) is/are here, in place of this request.
Sorry if this is a stupid question--please see my username. Thanks for your help.

Baku, Azerbaijan, July 25
By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
Hamas urged the Palestinian people to engage in a general armed uprising (Intifada), Hamas spokesman Fevzi Berhum said on July 25, Turkish news agency Anadolu reported.
"The Palestinians must put up armed resistance to Israel to protect their rights," he added.
"Hamas does not intend to disarm until Israel liberates occupied Palestinian lands," the head of Hamas political bureau Khaled Meshal said earlier.
"First, Israel must disarm," he added.
"Israel says that civilians live in the Jewish settlements in Palestine," he added. "In reality, they are not civilians as they live in occupied Palestinian lands."
Meshal also stressed that the population of Gaza, which has been subjected to Israeli aggression, has the right to self-defense.
More than 800 civilians, including women and children were killed during the 'Enduring Rock' operation which started on July 7.
It is reported that the Israeli army lost 45 servicemen during the hostilities.

Nasuni, a provider of software that streamlines data transfer to cloud storage outlets, announced today that it has raised $15 million in its second round of funding led by Flybridge Capital Partners.
The company's software serves as a link between local storage and any number of cloud storage providers, which store data in remote servers and usually charge per gigabyte of storage, like Iron Mountain and Amazon's S3 storage service. The software behaves like a virtual server that hosts some data locally in a cache and regularly transfers data back and forth between cloud storage providers.
It can be slower and sometimes less efficient to use cloud storage, though. Nasuni's software attempts to remove some of the headaches by including a number of functions that speed up data transfer. One example is de-duplication, which only transmits changes in files to the cloud server rather than the whole file if it's already present on a cloud server.
There's been a lot of interest in moving data to remote cloud servers because it can cut costs for many companies. Services like Nasuni's let companies add storage as they need it. That means they don't have to install and maintain expensive in-house databases that are often underused. Cloud-based service provider Salesforce recently launched its own version of a cloud-based database called database.com.
The company was founded by storage industry veterans Andres Rodriguez and Robert Mason in 2009 and has 25 employees. Rodriguez and Mason have already seen some success in cloud storage, selling their earlier company Archivas to Hitachi Data Systems in 2007 for $120 million. Nasuni raised $8 million in a first round in March, 2009, from Sigma Venture Partners and North Bridge Venture Partners.

I could not see (2) but following code should fix it for (3), Please add it to Quick CSS in Propulsion theme options under Styling tab
small.includes_tax { width: 100%; float: left; }
Best regards,
YigitJune 30, 2014 at 9:18 pm #285390
thanks for help.
(3) is working.
You can see (2) just on the secound check-out page, this means you have to proceed to checkout.
But I made a screenshoot with the HTML code of this section:
(Purchase code hidden if logged out) /Unbenannt.png">LINK to the pic
(Purchase code hidden if logged out) /Unbenannt.png" alt="" />
I think its not as easy as the solution for (3). Isn't it?
Thanks, EnricoJune 30, 2014 at 9:32 pm #285397
Please try following one
tr.shipping span.amount { width: 100%; float: left; }
I added real address but still cannot see it like you do – http://i.imgur.com/yrU2Zyf.png
Best regards,
YigitJune 30, 2014 at 9:40 pm #285405
this code doesn't do the right thing. This code will move the amount for the shipping to a new line (on page_id=12).
When you entered a real address, you just can proceed to check out, its a testing system, nothing will be sent to you ;) Then you will see that effect on the order-review page.
Is it also possible to change the text for (3) –> the same as (1)?
Thanks, EnricoJuly 1, 2014 at 1:45 am #285491
Thank you for the update.
Please use this on Quick CSS or custom.css:
td.product-total span.amount { float: left; margin-right: 5px; } tr.order-total td strong { float: left; clear: none; margin-right: 5px; } small.includes_tax { width: auto; float: left; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; }
Best regards,
IsmaelJuly 1, 2014 at 8:13 am #285595
thanks, but this doesn't do the right thing.
This code is working for (3):
small.includes_tax { width: auto; float: left; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; }
(1) dont need to be touched.
(2) is still the same styling. I'm not sure, but I think there is no chance with CSS, because there is no separate class:
(Purchase code hidden if logged out) /Unbenannt.png">LINK to the pic
What do you think?
And last question: Is there any chance to chance the order of the text for (3). Is would be perfect if the text has the same arrangement as (1) and (2).
Thanks for your help.
EnricoJuly 1, 2014 at 5:06 pm #285795
Yes, without a separate css class there's no easy way to style the output. If it's the second checkout page WooCommerce loads the template from German Market and I recommend to submit a feature request here: http://marketpress.de/support/forum/woocommerce-german-market/ and to ask for a separate css class. Maybe they can also give you a temporary solution (= hardcoded file changes) until they release a new update.

A FABULOUS 89th-minute free kick by Jordan Cotterill kept Barry Town United's 100 per cent start to 2014 intact as the men in yellow won a difficult match against Bridgend Street 1-0 at Jenner Park.
After the ground staff worked wonders to get the pitch back to playable condition, the visitors provided significant resistance for much of this Welsh Soccer League clash, even threatening to win the match with a string of second-half attacks on Dan Bradley's goal.
However, the Cardiff side's physicality in the latter stages proved to be their undoing as they conceded what proved to be a crucial set piece with just a minute to play. With composure under pressure, Cotterill fired home from around 25 yards to send the home crowd barmy and securing another valuable three points in the process.
Three then became six at the weekend as Barry ran out 2-0 winners over Lliswerry on the Gwent side's 3G surface at Spytty Lane.
Played in a notably strong wind, the freak weather almost ensured a freak opener as the home goalkeeper's long clearance missed everyone, and forced opposite number Bradley to tip it onto the crossbar.
Cotterill, pursuing his second in as many starts, also hit the woodwork, with his stunning right-footed effort narrowly denied.
However, the frame of the goal favoured Barry in the 46th minute, when midfielder Troy Greening's curling strike hit the inside of the post and ricocheted into the net.
The later stages saw the lively Lizards slither forward in pursuit of an equaliser, leading to some nervous moments for the travelling Barry supporters.
Nevertheless, the Town defence stayed resolute, and worked to ensure a fifth clean sheet in as many games since the start of the year.
The icing on the cake came three minutes into stoppage time, and again featured Cotterill in a prominent role. Forcing a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, the Lliswerry defence retreated to cover and, while Cotterill's shot was saved, the rebound fell to fellow forward Ryan Jenkins, who chipped the defenders and the goalkeeper to score Barry's second.
With Llanwern dropping points in midweek, Gavin Chesterfield's team have now closed the gap on the leaders to two points, with two games in hand, passing the landmark of 3,000 all-time Welsh League points in the process.
With 15 games remaining, there is all to play for for the Jenner Park side, with a host of tricky fixtures on the road coming thick and fast over the coming weeks.
This Saturday Barry are away to third-placed Risca United (2pm kick-off) before holding a special St David's Day race night fundraiser at the Sea View on Dock View Road (7.30pm).
Championship challengers Risca surrendered a 1-0 lead to ten-man Barry in December, and the Cuckoos will be eager to avenge their Jenner Park defeat in this enticing encounter at Ty-Isaf Park.

text: Just in case anyone is interested, this week's Auto Express have a road test comparing the A3 1.4 TFSI Sport with the BMW 116i ES and the Mercedes A179 Eleganse SE. The summaries are: The BMW can't match the Audi's pace, but it's engine is refined. Emissions are low and economy good, while the 116i has a sharp chassis and steering. Only the firm ride and cramped rear let it down. The A3's new engine is great. It's punchy and refined, and has lots of torque for strong in-gear pace. Cabin design and finish are the best, yet it's not as well thought out as that in the A-Class Even though it's solidly build, the baby Mercedes lacks the Audi's quality. It's also wooden to drive and the exterior design isn't very appealing. It's practical, but the A-Class can't match it's rivals.

Throughout the second part of the season, the Hurricanes have been playing better baseball.
Entering its mid-week game against Central Florida, Miami had won four of its past five series and six of its last nine games.
Still, with the regular-season finale approaching, the Hurricanes know they are running out of chances to collect the kind of wins they'll need to try and secure a 45th straight NCAA Tournament berth.
Those tournament hopes, already dim because of Miami's slow start, took another hit Wednesday night.
The Hurricanes, who have struggled offensively all season, missed several opportunities to cut into UCF's early lead and the Knights hung...

The FIGC has announced it will hold a summit this Friday, with 'vanishing spray' on the agenda among other things.
The spray was successfully used by officials at this summer's World Cup as a means of ensuring defending players remained at least ten yards away from the ball whenever a set piece was taken.
Now, upon the request of both Serie A and Serie B, leading figures within Italian football will discuss the possibility of allowing the spray to be used in domestic matches.
"A Federal Council meeting has been called for this Friday July 18," a statement on FIGC's official website reads.
"These are the issues for discussion during the day," it continues before listing the minutes of the summit.
The most notable of these was the "request of the Lega Serie A and Serie B for permission to use the 'vanishing spray.'"
The dates for League and cup fixtures over the 2014/15 season will also be formally approved.

Forward-Looking Competitive Firm Under Uncertainty, The
This study of the firm under uncertainty relaxes the standard single production cycle assumption. Under realistic circumstances, a forward-looking risk-averse firm will produce more than a risk-neutral firm, and an increase in the mean-preserving price spread will increase the risk-averse firm's production. These results depend on firms realizing that the prices of inputs required for production in subsequent periods are correlated with the prices of current output. There are two important implications of this work. First, empirical work should not assume, nor should it find a monotonic relationship between output and the level of risk or risk aversion. Secondly, one can rationalize previously unexplained real-world behavior such as the relative insensitivity of production and sales to current prices, and the spreading of sales over time.

It's not often you hear a coach glorify a 2-2 run.
But for Todd Graham, Arizona State's early-season slugfest — which started with a fortuitous win over then-No. 20 Wisconsin and ended with a crushing 37-34 loss to defending national runner-up Notre Dame at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — cut the rugged, wild Sun Devils into disciplined diamonds.
It was during that month-long stretch from Sept. 14 through Oct. 5 that Arizona State found itself tested and up to the task. In good times (62-41 win over USC in Week 4) and in bad (the USC win followed a 42-28 loss to then-No. 5 Stanford), the Sun Devils bought in and buckled down, setting the stage for a seven-game winning streak down the stretch.
And setting the stage for a rematch with Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game, which Arizona State will host on Saturday at 5:45 p.m.
"That stretch there, I think our team matured more than I've ever had a team mature," Graham said. "That's been a major factor in forming the maturity and toughness in our team."
The Sun Devils will need both against a Cardinal team whose hallmark has become toughness and discipline.
The maturation of ASU and the consistency of Stanford were rewarded on Monday in the annual all-conference awards, as each team had six players on the first team. They combined for 13 on the second team.
In the team's first matchup, at Stanford Stadium on Sept. 21, the Cardinal's bulk beat up the Sun Devils' brawn as Stanford jumped to a 39-7 lead before watching Arizona State climb back with a 21-3 fourth quarter.
On that day, the Sun Devils were erratic — Taylor Kelly threw two interceptions — and inefficient, rushing for just 50 yards while going only 6-for-18 on third down.
"When we went to play them, we felt our guys were pretty confident," Graham said. "We came off a win against Wisconsin, a pretty talented team. We thought we were disciplined, and then we saw what a disciplined team looked like."
Even in victory, Stanford coach David Shaw saw signs of what was to come for the Sun Devils.
"This team, this year – we didn't see them last year – they play with such energy," Shaw said. "Such passion. They're so aggressive. They have great team speed. Defensively, they try to keep you on your heels. Offensively, they're always on attack mode. Attacking with the run, attacking with the quarterback, with a lot of things. It's fun to watch."
It's been nearly two months since the two teams met, and much has changed. The Cardinal suffered two surprising losses at Utah and at USC, and the Sun Devils have soared. Arizona State is actually favored by 3 on Saturday, despite being ranked lower.
Not that Graham is paying attention.
"More important than being a veteran team, they're the defending Pac-12 champions, the defending Rose Bowl champions, and that experience is big," Graham said about Stanford. "We talk about being humble and hungry. Well, they are the defending champion. We are the contender."
The Sun Devils' strength of schedule — theirs was rated the third-toughest in college football — was not lost on Graham.
"If you can stay healthy through a schedule like that, like we've been able to do, I don't think we'd be where we're at without that schedule," Graham said. "It's allowed our program to grow and improve dramatically."
Shaw has his Cardinal back in the conference championship game for the second straight year, and he's using some rote motivational tactics to spur on his team. He's almost completely forgetting Stanford's 27-24 title win over UCLA last season.
"There's a sense of excitement because it's a challenge," Shaw said. "Last year, we were fortunate to have it at home. This year, we're on the road. It's going to be a loud, exciting environment against a really good football team. Our guys are getting geared up for that. It's a completely different world from last year. It's going to be a tough game to win."
Initially dismissive of a question about his opinion of the hire of Steve Sarkisian at USC, Shaw ultimately did say that he's sure it wasn't any one thing that took the Washington coach down to the Trojans.
"There are so many things that go into it," Shaw said. "Money is one thing, where you live, where your wife wants to live, where you have history, don't have history, a family base. I don't know anything about the particulars, but when things like this happen, it's usually never just one thing. Not, they're going to pay me $10 more, so they're going to go down there."

Hyundai i30
Hyundai's i30 is a Focus-sized family hatch that's been improving, generation by generation. This MK3 model really accelerates its aspirations.
Jonathan Crouch reports
Ten Second Review
If, in choosing a family hatchback, you merely want to buy a very good one and pay as little as possible for it, then Hyundai has a proposition for you - its much improved third generation i30. With more efficient engines, a smarter look and the option of an impressive dual-clutch 7-speed auto gearbox, it's certainly a more competitive proposition than before. Spacious, sensibly-specced and value-laden, this is one car that all the other big volume manufacturers are keeping their eye on.
Cast your mind back to 2007. That was the year the very first Hyundai i30 family hatchback appeared, a Focus-sized model that completely changed the way we thought about Korean cars. Since then, this Asian maker has transformed itself from budget brand to the point where it's now a mainstream quality choice. Can this significantly improved MK3 model i30 help Hyundai progress further in its relentless march to full automotive credibility?
It's very firmly a product of evolution rather than revolution. But there's an upgraded engine line-up including a more efficient 1.4-litre T-GDI petrol powerplant. Buyers also get a high-tech dual-clutch 7-speed automatic transmission option. And cutting-edge standards of electronic safety and media connectivity. It all sounds quite promising doesn't it? But then, if this i30 is going to be able to keep pace in this closely-fought segment, it's going to need to be.
Driving Experience
We've yet to drive this MK3 model but the prospects look good. Let's look at the engines on offer - there are three petrol units and one diesel. The range starts with two older units, an old-tech 100PS 1.4 MPI four cylinder petrol powerplant and a 1.6-litre diesel offering a choice of 95, 110 and 136PS outputs. Better are the new generation T-GDI petrol options. We're already familiar with the 1.0 T-GDI powerplant from the i20 - here it develops 120PS and 170Nm of torque. New though is the 1.4 T-GDI variant. This unit puts out 140PS and 242Nm of torque. Mated to the engines is either a six-speed manual gearbox or Hyundai's efficient and direct-responding '7DCT' seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Go for the auto and the car will offer you two drive modes: 'normal' and 'sport'. In 'sport' mode, you get a different shift pattern that holds gears longer before shifting, plus the steering provides a sporty feel and the throttle response is adapted.
Design and Build
The upright front of this third generation i30 uses the brand's latest stylistic signature, its so-called 'Cascading Grille'. In combination with the three-projector LED headlamps and the vertical LED daytime running lights, this gives the car a much stronger visual presence than it had before. To further enhance this, projector-type front fog lamps are integrated into the air curtains. Under the skin, the structure is much stronger, with 53% of the framework now fashioned from Advanced High Strength Steel.
It's much smarter and classier inside too. The floating screen of the optional eight-inch navigation touch screen on the dashboard integrates all navigation, media and connectivity features and there's a redesigned multifunction three-spoke steering wheel too. For enhanced comfort, the front seats can be heated or cooled in three stages. When customers choose power seats, these can be adjusted in 10-ways including lumber support. There's an optional panoramic glass roof to fit with the current segment trend.
Market and Model
Hyundai isn't holding back when it comes to equipment. There's dual-zone climate control will ensure a comfortable environment for all occupants during long journeys. Plus niceties like a panoramic sunroof and a heated steering wheel are option, as is a Navigation system you operate via an 8-inch touchscreen on the dash.
Safety has been a particular feature of the development of this car. The key news is that all variants get Autonomous Emergency Braking, a system that scans the road ahead as you drive, the set-up looking for potential collision hazards. If one is detected, you'll be warned. If you don't respond - or aren't able to - the brakes will automatically be applied to decrease the severity of any resulting accident. Other key i30 safety features include a 'Driver Attention Alert' system, 'Smart Cruise Control', a 'Blind Spot Detector, 'Rear-Cross Traffic Alert', a 'Lane Keeping Assist System', a 'Speed Limit Information Function' and 'High Beam Assist'.
Cost of Ownership
The introduction of new engine technology has kept Hyundai right on the pace of the class best when it comes to efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions are as low as 95g/km. Even the 1.4-litre T-GDI petrol engine gets some creditable figures, returning a CO2 emission figure that can be as low as 109 g/km. Fuel saving technologies include Integrated Stop & Go (ISG), low rolling-resistance tyres, an alternator management system (AMS) and a drag-reducing 'active air flap' in the front grille, similar to the technology introduced on the Ford Focus. All of this is aided by a slippery drag coefficient and the 7DCT auto gearbox provides an improvement in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of up to 20% compared to a conventional six-gear automated transmission.
In summary then, an effective package - as this i30 has always been. For complete desirability in this segment though, you sense that in the future, a touch of unpredictability might be needed from Hyundai when it comes to a car of this sort, something truly ground-breaking that still ticks all the boxes on every Family Hatch buyer's wish list. We've little doubt that one day, the brand will provide it.
In the meantime though, what we already have here is still enough to leave the industry's more established car makers with furrowed brows. Ultimately, it's hard to do too much better for the money. Which means that for the time being at least, the i's still have it.

Review for Variety - The Children's Charity of Wisconsin, Elm Grove, WI, USA
Words can not express the feelings I have for Variety - The Children's Charity of Wisconsin. My son is 10 years old. Just about two years ago now we put him on a waiting list for a bike, but never heard a thing. It was earlier this year in March, my son's therapist recieved a call from Gerise from Variety about seeing his name on that waiting list for the bike. I was put in touch with Gerise, filled out some forms and just in time for spring he was riding his bike!! This bike has CHANGED my son's life. All of the sudden we saw this boy who clung to his mother take off. Within two days he was riding up and down the neighborhood with all the other kids by himself. He has ridden this bike nearly everyday. I have neighbors who sit out on their porches just watching him go up and down the sidewalks amazed at his new independence. Infact, just earlier today his dentist told me she was passing by the house saw him on the bike and was so excited she was not watching where she was driving and nearly hit a parked car. Not only has Variety granted his wish to have his own bike, but in January he will have the opportunity to try snow skiing and snowboarding, something he is very excited about and never thought he would be able to experience. Did I mentioned he took part in the Fishing Has No Boundries of Milwaukee that Variety is also a sponsor of? The second year in a row he reeled in the biggest fish, this year it was a 14lb Shinook Salmon and also a Brown Trout. I am so thankful from the bottom of my heart for what Variety - The Children's Charity of Wisconsin has done for the new independence I see in my son and the future that they may bring to his life.

THE national broadband network is being connected in Treasurer Wayne Swan's marginal Brisbane seat, only days after a devastating poll for Labor.
Aspley, in Brisbane's north, will be the first site in Queensland's capital to get the optical fibre connection on Wednesday.
A ceremony is being held at the Aspley Rugby League Football Club, just two days after a Nielsen poll showed Labor's primary vote falling to 30 per cent.
It falls on the border of Mr Swan's seat of Lilley, which he holds by a slender 3.2 per cent margin.
Other parts of Aspley fall within the neighbouring marginal seat of Petrie, which Labor holds by 2.51 per cent.
NBN Co said construction had already started on connecting the NBN to other northern Brisbane suburbs.
Several also happen to fall within Mr Swan's seat, and include Nudgee, Virginia, Banyo, Eagle Farm and Northgate.
Brisbane is the fourth capital city to get the NBN.
Melbourne came online in October last year while Hobart and Canberra went live in early February.
It is Queensland's third city to get the NBN, after Townsville and Toowoomba.

...as well as update the icons at this page:
I love OpenMeetings as you, therefore want OM look as beautiful as be possible.
Other beneficial point woul be rename the title VMWare at the page:
VMWare - Iso Live DVD
...because thinking as a normal user computer as i am, if found only VMWare title (not now)
could not imagine in that paragraph were a live iso dvd, but the most of the people know
what is a live dvd.
OpenMeetings have the means to help users just have to show them and remind them,
For it would be wise to remember every three weeks or so, where they can get the iso
live dvd through a post on the list, that with your permission i will write.
These are ideas only.
I have an image composition that show how can look the main page with a logo.
Send to you by mail because here is no way tu upload.
Thank you!

Hi all,
Attached a new Apache OpenMeetings logo.
The Apaches knew and respected Nature
it gave the green of weed and water their
horses and food his creatures.
If we care for nature, she take care of us.
That is the mean of the green weed in the
Continue improving it.
Please Sebastian, tell me what you dont like
or if you prefer some color...?
The file uploaded called:

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you for your directions. Now i have more clear
where to go.
Should work in that direction.

Hi Alvaro,
thanks for the screenshots!
Please compare also other Apache projects:
Of course you might argue that those other projects might just have bad visual web-designers, however our project has to fit into the "Apache world" somehow.
If you think that we should put a orange header on top you have to give us very good arguments. I am a bit conservative, My point of view is: Design follows Function
That orange is kind of an alarm color and I don't see a connection where this Orange is comming from.
You can find for example nice colors that fit together with that application: http://kuler.adobe.com/
Please keep also in mind that we will need to re-style the whole Openmeetings Application according to our website, so that everything:
OpenMeetings Website and OpenMeetings Application has the same Look and Feel. If that orange is going to stay here we will need to put it into our application too.
For the Logo I would suggest that you remove the square between N and M
Also we should discuss what the green flower in the logo is exactly ... if we put it into the logo it has to have a meaning.
That is why lots of Apache projects put the "Apache Feather" into the logo as this feather is the official logo of the ASF.
We have no official icon or logo yet (so we instead use the feather)
Hope that helps
Hi all!
Sebastian, attached somes images that
could be a possible way for the Apache
OpenMeetings web.
The name OpenMeetings is a little too long
to build a small logo, therefore is divided
by two parts that are joined by a litte
column of cristal.
Please tell me where to change it or if this
is not the way you likes.
The attached file called:
...OK Sebastian,
Thanks for your answer. Shoul think
about it and see what i can do...
El jue, 29-03-2012 a las 07:19 +0000, SebastianWagner (Commented) (JIRA)
I have attached your ZIP, you can do it too ... in the main menu of each Issue > More Actions > Attach Files
I have reviewed your logos, however I think if there is a new logo it should actually replace the current one.
The current logo is "Apache OpenMeetings" + the "Apache-feather" on the top - left. So if there is a new logo there should be only one. Also the Logo has to include the "Apache" style pr text somehow, see for example the new "Apache Flex" logo: http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ or their other proposals: http://incubator.apache.org/flex/logo-contest.html
I think on the current white space on the top-right of the incubator website there should be some popular links, for example: Demo-Server / Downloads / Jira / Source
And we could make some stylish buttons for the links. However I had no tmie yet to make such stylish buttons.
We should also then discuss which main colors to use.
Currently the main menu has the colors: #1484E6, #2293F7, #000088
The color #000088 is the connection between the color of the menu and the color of the Apache Feather.
In that sense a potential restyle of the logo would affect the whole website. So if we are going to change the logo the rest of the website has to fit with the logo.
Potential buttons for the top right bar also should either contrast nicely to those colors or be inline ... OR we completely change everything based on a new logo ... everything is possible however it needs to be co-ordinated.

In school, most of our teachers uses presentation in PDF form. And even our requirements like brochure and flyers are advised to pass in a PDF form too. With this, PDF reader is really important to me to read the presentations from my teachers. Unfortunately I don't have an Adobe Reader and honestly I am not that good in computer and I don't know how to have such. My brother advised me to search in Google a software like Adobe reader or even the Adobe reader itself and download. I have checked a free downloading site and I spotted this software PDF reader.
This PDF reader is what I look for. It looks like an Adobe reader and is really manageable. I am happy because I downloaded the said software for free. This software can open any PDF file. The installation feels like heaven because of its lightweight design. It has many features like it can read XPS, DjVu, CBZ and CBR. It has simple, intuitive user interface, small and start up very fast. This is really good for a person who needs a simple and user friendly PDF reader. I think that with its simplicity and lightweight design make it a very good alternative to the larger PDF program. You must give it a try.

French aerospace manufacturer Snecma plans to develop more innovative aircraft and rocket engine designs at a faster pace with its recent selection of software
from ANSYS.
Snecma is deploying ANSYS Workbench as its standard simulation environment to support a corporate-wide product initiative as it develops civil and military airplane engines, launch vehicles and satellites. The aerospace company plans to leverage the open architecture of the ANSYS Workbench framework, relying on the technology for all its computer-aided engineering solver interfaces and to reach an optimized design of Snecma products in terms of performance, cost and robustness.
"Snecma will realize the benefits that can be achieved by applying numerical simulation upstream in its product development processes. Through the use of ANSYS software, the organization can look into innovation as a best practice, while concurrently reducing time to market," says Josh Fredberg, vice president, marketing at ANSYS.

Syria confirmed Saturday that it had shot down a Turkish fighter jet, having opened fired on an "unidentified target" that had entered its airspace, the official SANA news agency reported.
"An unidentified aerial target violated Syrian airspace, coming from the west at a very low altitude and at high speed over territorial waters" in the eastern Mediterranean, a military spokesman told SANA.
Anti-aircraft batteries had opened fire, hitting it as it was one kilometre away from land and it had crashed about 10 kilometres off the coast of Latakia province, in Syrian territorial waters, he added.
"We later confirmed that the target was a Turkish military plane," the spokesman said.
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

The two countries' navies were now cooperating in an operation to find the two missing pilots, the agency reported.
A little earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed in a written statement that Syria had shot down a Turkish fighter jet reported missing over the eastern Mediterranean Friday.
He was speaking after an emergency meeting of top military and government figures in Ankara.
"Turkey will announce its final position and take necessary steps with determination after the incident is entirely clarified," Erdogan added.
An earlier Turkish army statement said the jet had lost radio contact with its base over the eastern Mediterranean near Syria's Latakia.

Production has been temporarily shut down on 24 by 20th Century Fox Television so that Kiefer Sutherland can have surgery related to a ruptured cyst near his kidney.
Although the cyst ruptured while he was working earlier in the week, production continued until Friday without him. His publicist, Evelyn Karamanos, issued the following statement on Sunday to the Times:
"While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and Fox decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now as a precaution as opposed to six weeks from now when production wraps. He looks forward to returning to work next week."

Should Pregnant Women Who Are Speeding To The Hospital To Give Birth Be Given A Ticket?
Should pregnant women who are speeding to the hospital to give birth be given a ticket?
It's not an uncommon story. A husband (or partner or the expectant mom herself) is speeding -- literally -- to the hospital because she is in labor and about to give birth. The driver is pulled over by a highway patrol or police officer. And then s/he is either given a ticket or sent on her very hurried way. Today, NPR highlighted a short story:
John Coughlin's wife was having a baby, which was coming too fast. So Coughlin drove his wife toward a Manchester, New Hampshire, hospital at 102 miles per hour. Soon a state trooper was chasing them, so the Coughlins called 9-1-1. They got a message back to the trooper, who then escorted them to the hospital. The baby born six minutes after arrival. The trooper congratulated Coughlin, then gave him a speeding ticket.I'm annoying noncommittal on this (not this particular story, just the occurrence in general). I can see the absolute need to get a laboring mom to the hospital in time to deliver her baby in the hospital. I can also see the danger that someone driving way too fast -- I'm not talking a few miles over the speed limit, but really, really fast -- can put others in danger, even if they themselves are in time sensitive situation. I can't really fault an officer for giving a speeding ticket...as long as s/he is very, very quick about it! >>What do you think? Okay to give a speeding ticket to a driver who is taking a woman in labor to the hospital?

Toward the Verification of a Simple Hypervisor
Virtualization promises significant benefits in security, efficiency, dependability, and cost. Achieving these benefits depends upon the reliability of the underlying virtual machine monitors (hypervisors). This paper describes an ongoing project to develop and verify MinVisor, a simple but functional Type-I x86 hypervisor, proving protection properties at the assembly level using ACL2. Originally based on an existing research hypervisor, MinVisor provides protection of its own memory from a malicious guest. The authors' long-term goal is to fully verify MinVisor, providing a vehicle to investigate the modeling and verification of hypervisors at the implementation level, and also a basis for further systems research.

Just when we thought the push by the Obama Administration to cleanse Christian values and Christian worship from our military could not get any more bizarre, there is now a push to hire "chaplains" for atheists. We might anticipate the next step would be to ban all religious activities from our military other than for Muslims and atheists [secular humanist].
Fox News reported,
Members of Congress are set to square off over a push to create military chaplains for people who do not believe in God.
The effort to create a chaplain for atheists and "humanists" has been building over the last several weeks. While the title might sound inherently contradictory, supporters say the point is to give atheists in the military someone who will pro-actively reach out to them and facilitate meetings.
Jason Torpy, president of the Military Association of Atheists and Free Thinkers, claims that 23 percent of those in the military ranks assert no religious preference. And he argues chaplains are not providing enough "positive outreach and support" in the way "they do for all of those beliefs that aren't their own."
As might be expected, the campaign is running into some heated criticism.
Lawmakers turned away a Democratic-sponsored amendment last month that would have created the post -- and now, Republicans are trying to formally quash the idea, with an amendment to a defense budget bill that would require military chaplains to be affiliated with a particular faith.
"When it comes to the idea of an atheist chaplain, which is an oxymoron -- it's self-contradictory -- what you're really doing is now saying that we're going to replace true chaplains with non-chaplain chaplains," said sponsor Rep. John Fleming, R-La. "It's just total nonsense, the idea of having a chaplain who is an atheist."
Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., who is also an Air Force chaplain, said he often dealt with atheists who were simply asking about their problems.
"What I have found is so many times people in our world today just need someone to listen," he said.
But he questioned the idea of creating a new atheist-specific position, as there are other counseling services available.
"They need to come at it differently instead of just saying we want an atheist chaplain," Collins said. "I think there's plenty of opportunities for them to talk."
The Armed Forces has counselors of all kinds, including psychologists and psychiatrists. While calling a newly created post something else -- like a counselor -- might sit fine with the military, it doesn't satisfy those who specifically want a non-faith chaplain established.
The traditional role of the chaplain has been to lead religious services and prayers, to ask God for protection and help, and to give comfort to the dying and the living.
What might an atheist chaplain do? Since atheists believe frail humans are the ultimate intelligence in the Universe, atheists have no one else to worship but man. Will atheist military chaplains lead prayers of glorification and supplication to Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi?
What benefits might atheists expect to receive from atheist chaplains? Will the dying be comforted with the reassurance that they are dying in the service of Obama and the Socialist state?
Could this be an effort to promote atheism and to increase the numbers of atheists, since increasing numbers of people are realizing the existence of God and atheism is in rapid decline? Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council commented,
Interestingly enough, this debate happens to coincide with a new study about the drop in worldwide atheism. Researchers just released four decades of data on "Christianity in Its Global Context, 1970-2010" and found that the world is more religious now than it was last century. "If this trend continues," the report suggests, "agnostics and atheists will be a smaller portion of the world's population in 2020 than they were in 2010." If atheism is declining, why should its influence increase? Good question -- one that Congress should ponder before it panders to more extremists.

Rosenthal includes jazz standards such as Bill Evans' famous "Waltz for Debby," and "Tempus Fugit" composed by Bud Powell. Additionally included are pieces such as Gershwin's "I Loves You Porgy" and "Tea For Two" by Caesar and Youmans, each associated with inspired performances by Evans and Powell. Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata and "Sonata op. 109" also serve as vehicles for Rosenthal's pianistic and improvisatory artistry. Rosenthal's personal style owes a debt to the influence of Powell and Evans, and he also demonstrates a complete understanding of the music of Beethoven that he performs. His improvisations on Beethoven's pieces seem to be a natural extension of the master's work.
The combination of these "3 B's" is not merely happenstance. The recording is well balanced with Rosenthal's interpretations of the music of "Romantic" Bill Evans off set by the wellspring of Bud Powell's emotionally charged tunes, all complimented by the Romanticism of Beethoven. Rosenthal's level of technique and musicianship is top notch and brings new and refreshing interpretations of jazz standards. Perhaps the most thought provoking part of The 3 B's however, is Rosenthal bringing to light speculation of what Beethoven might have sounded like had jazz existed in 18th/19th century Europe. Perhaps more likely and realistically, Rosenthal is merely demonstrating that Beethoven's music is truly timeless and "travels well" wherever and whenever it goes.
The recording quality The Three B's is excellent with clarity and crisp, clean sound. This is a recording of very high merit and is a highly recommended addition to any jazz CD collection.

Panel at St. Paul Baptist Church Discusses How to Keep Black Youth Safe and How to Prevent Another 'Trayvon Martin'
By Peggy Hunt
Respecting authority, taking education seriously and relearning the moral lessons derived from church are the three main ways Oxnard's black male youth can stay out of the criminal justice system. The esteemed panel of African-Americans included: Oxnard Chief of Police Jeri Williams, Oxnard Fire Chief James A. Williams, Professor Jeffrey Stewart, Chair, Department of Black Studies, UCSB and Ross Fontes, Counselor EOPS, Oxnard College. Bishop Broderick Huggins served as moderator of the event. All panelist agreed that for an added layer of protection, more black men should serve as mentors and role models for young men. The panel, held on Sunday, was hosted at Saint Paul Baptist Church, located at 1777 Statham Blvd., in Oxnard. More than 100 people attended the event to hear the panelists discuss how to prevent another child from ending up like Trayvon Martin.
During the discussion, panelist Jeffrey Stewart said, "I feel what you guys are going through. But you have to feel and think that you are more competent than they are. You have to show them that you are smarter than they are. You have to leave the situation alive and not like Trayvon Martin."
"If you are stopped by an officer and he is nasty and aggressive with you for no reason, then ask him, 'How are you doing today officer? Are you having a bad day? I hope your day gets better.'"
"Or say nothing. If asked to sit down on the curb, sit down on the curb."
"Answer the officer's questions with 'Yes, officer' and 'No, officer'. You must avoid being entrapped by those individuals."
"They are afraid of you. Zimmerman would not have approached Trayvon without having a gun."
Stewart continued, "If someone is willing to get in your face, they are probably carrying a gun. Respect the person; be nice and do not be confrontational. You must be the master. You must learn to control the situation."
Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, was killed in Florida in February by a neighborhood watch volunteer who is white and Hispanic. Police initially declined to arrest the volunteer, George Zimmerman, citing Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows people to use deadly force when they believe they are in danger. Zimmerman was not arrested initially as he claimed he acted in self-defense. He was later arrested on April 11 on second-degree murder charges, but was released on a $150,000 bond on April 22.
Stewart concluded with "America is, once again, at a crossroads. Trayvon Martin's murder and the Florida jury's acquittal of George Zimmerman for that murder challenge us with a question: 'Do we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness?' If we do believe these words of the Declaration of Independence, then we must bring about a radical change in our court system to punish those who treat others unequally and to stop judging others on the basis of skin color. If not, our founding fathers' words are a lie, and our future as a people is bleak."
Pastor of Saint Paul Baptist Church and moderator of the forum,. Bishop Broderick A. Huggins said, "There are Trayvons living all over the U.S. What kind of world are we living in that we can put a black man in the White House, but a black teen carrying a bag of Skittles candy and an iced tea cannot walk through a gated community to get home. My son was murdered by police. I am not saying he was guilty, but even if he was guilty, no one deserves to be shot seventeen times. If my son was guilty of anything, he was guilty of not being up on his game. You must have a relationship with God."
Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams advised parents to have conversations with their kids and help them to not be targets. She noted that females do not have the same experiences with police as black males.
The church hosted the forum for fathers and sons to encourage dialog about the Trayvon Martin shooting and what young black men can do to protect themselves. A number of people told of their experiences with police and institutions of learning.
It was noted that there are more and more parents allowing their children to not attend church and that action is making today's youth forget how to respect authority. If more black youth were in the church, they would learn, for example, to be respectful when pulled over by a police officer.

Wayne Girls Advance In C2-4 Subdistrict
Posted: 19 February, 2014
OAKLAND (KTCH/KCTY) - Girls' high school basketball subdistricts continued Tuesday night in Nebraska. In the C1-7 Subdistrict held in Oakland, #1 seed Wayne faced off against the #4 seed West Point-Beemer.
Both teams struggled with turnovers, and points were at a premium as Wayne held just an 18-17 advantage at halftime. The Lady Blue Devils were able to outscore West Point-Beemer 8-4 in the third quarter to lead 26-21 heading into the fourth. However, Wayne was held scoreless in the fourth quarter until 1:23 left to go. The Lady Blue Devils hit a few free throws to go up 29-25. Then West Point-Beemer's Amanda Hansen hit a three pointer with five seconds left and was fouled, giving her the opportunity to tie the game with a free throw. She missed the shot, and Wayne's Ashton Schweers was fouled rebounding with three seconds to go. Schweers made two free throws to ice the game, and give Wayne a 31-28 win. Jalyn Zeiss and Meagan Backer each had seven points for Wayne, while Schweers had six. The Lady Blue Devils move to 15-10 on the season, and will face Tekamah-Herman in the subdistrict finals on Thursday at 7:00.

The City of Vista will not be moving forward with a controversial project to add digital billboards along State Route 78, the city's website confirmed Wednesday.
According to the City of Vista, the project would require an environmental study examining how the project might affect the surrounding area. That environmental study would cost a minimum of $150,000, and the city says there are simply no funds in their budget to pay for that.
Therefore, the City Manager has recommended the City Council drop the proposal altogether.
According to proponents of the project, the "Digital Message Board" program would have generated substantial revenue for Vista – between $300,000 and $400,000 annually for the city's general fund. After six years, that revenue had potential to grow even greater.
The proposal said the two, double-sided billboards would be placed west of the Sycamore Avenue exit off SR-78 and west of the Emerald Drive exit, near Santa Clara way. Both would be placed on the north side of the highway, on city-owned land, and would measure 14 feet high by 48 feet wide.
However, the proposal came with some controversy. Not everyone was on board with the types of advertising the digital billboards might host, including advertisements for alcohol, medical marijuana and adult businesses.
The North Coastal Prevention Coalition (NCPC) -- a group that aims to reduce the harm of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and other drugs in the cities of Vista, Carlsbad and Oceanside through community action, education and support – was among the opponents.
The NCPC opposed alcohol advertising on public lands via the digital billboards as a matter of poor public policy.
The NCPC argued that alcohol-related incidents cost the City of San Diego a lot of money, and advertising alcohol along a popular roadway would not help the situation, especially when it comes to underage drinking.
According to the NCPC's website, underage drinkers are responsible for 20 percent of all alcohol consumed and $22.5 billion of annual alcohol industry revenues. For every dollar spent on alcohol advertising, the NCPC says underage drinking jumps by 3 percent.
The group also argued that other governmental agencies, including the North County Transit District and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, have already banned alcohol advertising on public property.
The NCPC planned to discuss the proposal and present their concerns during a meeting Wednesday evening with Vista residents and leaders.
According to the proposal as shown on the City of Vista's website, 15 percent of the content on the digital message boards would be civic and community messaging. Up to 10 percent would be available at discounted rates for local business advertising. The proposal promised "effective advertising that complies with all government regulations and projects a high-quality image for the City."
Despite news of the City of Vista dropping the project, the NCPC still planned to hold their meeting Wednesday.

About Bubba
American Pit Bull Terrier
Black and White
Date Of Birth:
Bubba is a 10 month old pit bull male. I have had him since April of this year, after rescuing him from living on third story apartment balcony. He was completely untrained or house broken, he acted and behaved like an abused dog. He has made a tremendous amount of progess since first getting him. He is 100% house broken, doesn't cower when you touch his food or water bowl, he no longer fights me or freaks out when a leash is put on him, he will actually go on car rides without fighting to go anywhere but inside the car, now he really likes car rides and will jump right in. He's learned simple commands(sit, stay, here) though he does fight me sometimes when it comes to listening, I think it has a lot to do him being a puppy still and being a pit, since they can be a stubborn breed. He does well with other dogs and children 3+ in age, however he does not do well with cats. In August I had plan to move in with my parents when my rental's lease was up. Which is when the purchase of their new home was to be finialized, being able bring Bubba with me. August came, I was about to move in with them, when sadly they lost the home. I was unable to renew my lease and I knew I would be unable to bring him with me to my parents. They rent the home they are in, they already have 3 dogs which maxium allowed, and pitbulls are not permitted. I wanted to keep my dog, so my fiance's friends offered to foster Bubba until my parents were able to purchased a home. I unfornately discovered they had not been taking care of my dog. They were rarely feeding him or giving him water and would leave him in the backyard for days on end. I immadiately removed Bubba from that home and have him staying with me at my parents home. He is a very happy and friendly boy, who's full of affection and love. I am desparately searching to give him a new home. It breaks my heart that I have to give him up. I feel this is the best and only opition for him. I don't want to have to keep forcing him to get used to new people who may or may not neglicate him. I don't want to have to keep shuffling him from place to place, and finally let him have a solid permanent home. I have been in contact withalmost everyone I know but no one is able to give him a home. I have tried rescues and no kill shelters but have found all of them to be full. I only have a few days left to find him a home, if I am unable to do so I will have surrender him to a shelter that isn't a No Kill Shelter. This breaks my heart even more at the thought of having to surrender him to not only a shelter but a shelter that isnt a no kill shelter. If you or someone you know would like to adopt Bubba please contact me immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com Thank You Kelli

Kelli, is there anyway you can contact Villa lobos rescue center....they are a sanctuary for Pit Bulls and and Tia Maria Torres is the owner and founder. Haven't you heard or seen the TV show Pit Bulls and Parolees on Animal Planet? Please don't send him to the shelter because he will be put down just because he is Pit Bull. Give him a chance please go on their website and email them or call them, they moved to New Orleans La and they also have a sanctuary for older dogs I think in New Mexico because California let them down. Please please try and contact them.....he is a baby and he deserve a chance at life in a forever home. Good luck to you sweet heart, you sound like a wonderful loving young woman. Good luck in school.
