Off-Day Odds and Ends
1. "Junior Money," aka the latest addition to the Okur family, will be arriving on Feb. 21. Yeliz has scheduled a C-section for that day, and Memo will therefore probably be sitting out at least one road game (Jazz's third game against Portland in 3.5 weeks). Boler might want to start working on his "Mm-mm-mm-Money-Senior!" call.
2. Following the Jazz's [most recent] win against Portland, Jerry said, "(Power forward) has always been Andrei's best position." Does anyone else find that kind of maddening? I'm definitely a Jerry supporter, but it's like he hasn't put Andrei in a position to succeed. Andrei's freakish versatility can share the blame, but imagine if he played other Jazzmen out of position. I don't think that would go over well. (And yes, I know AK recently said that he prefers playing the 3, but still.)
3. Jerry apparently nicknamed Hot Rod "America's Guest" due to Hot Rod's penchant for not picking up bills, even when he's eating by himself. LOL.
4. It's clear by now (if not long ago) that Sap is starting PF material. However, he's fully accepted that he'll be going back to the bench when Boozer comes back.
"It's going to be good for the playoffs — to have guys like Wesley Matthews come of the bench, C.J. Miles come off the bench, myself come off the bench," Millsap said. "It's going to be real crucial for us to continue to play like we're playing."
All the starting and Boozer issues aside, Sap deserves high praise for being the consummate professional and team player.
5. A quote from Henry Abbott, because I just love it, and it's a reflection of how I've been feeling:
Last night I came this close to breaking all those rules to dial David Thorpe (father of young twins) at midnight, screaming: "The Utah Jazz are f—ing amazing!"
He goes on to praise the Jazz and OMSW, and give extremely high praise to Deron.
6. The Jazz brass is considering bringing back the music note for next season (yay!)…but with "updated" colors of blue, yellow, and green (ick! and so unjazzy!). Hopefully, it'll look great, because I am dying for a new AK-47 jersey, and I'm so not a fan of our current blah-meh personality-free unis (despite owning Deron ones in the home whites and baby blue).
Whether the Jazz fan base is older (and by "older", I mean "old and nostalgic") than anyone realized, or whether it's super young and retro is therefore "cool", Jazz fans are enormously in favor of the move:
7. "LeBron James is the lamest person to ever play professional basketball" (The LeBron James News Herald via Sloan'd)
Cavaliers forward LeBron James has the uncanny ability to see things before they happen.
[James] admits that he can see plays develop before they happen.
"It's the truth," he said. "I see things happen before even my teammates see it. That's why I get some turnovers some times. It's a God-given ability I have. I try to use it to my advantage."
C: If he can see everything before it develops, then how does he ever lose?
M: must be his teammates who fail him.
C: I expect Kobe to come out with some sort of statement to show that he's even better.
M: e.g. God speaks to him and told him that he was put on this earth to play basketball. and that he's in the Bible, which if you read carefully enough, is really about him.

1. I lost my mouse/keyboard dongle (receiver). Is there anything I can do?
The dongle, KB, and mouse require a code pairing process. One receiver is mapped with one KB, so if the dongle (receiver) is lost, unfortunately, it is not replaceable.
2. Can I use an optical/laser mouse on a surface which is made of glass, mirror or reflective material?
We recommend you do not use an optical/laser mouse on a surface which is made of glass, mirror, or reflective material. The mouse sensor data read performance will be impacted.
3. How do I pair the 7-to-1 (or more) mouse and receiver again?
1. Insert the receiver to a USB Port;
2. Press the mouse middle scroll + right burtton at the same time for ten seconds, the receiver and mouse will be connected automatically.
3. If you would like to pair another mouse to a receiver, repeat above steps 1 & 2.
a. When pairing, make sure the mouse and receiver are within 5cm of each other.
b. If you want to pair the mouse to another receiver, remove the original receiver from USB port.
c. Repeat steps 1 & 2 if the connection fails.
4. Sometimes when I turn on the mouse, underneath, the LED lights are on, but mouse does not work, why?
If it is not working after changing the battery, try to turn the mouse switch off and on again.
5. What is your global warranty on your products?
Unfortunately, we do not offer global warranty on our products.
6. Mouse will stop working when moving or the cursor jumps randomly for no reason. Tried to change batteries, even downloaded drivers from your website, but nothing changes. What can I do?
Please try to change a new battery first (if needed). Sometimes the wireless mouse cursor jump randomly, it's possible the AP router (AP router and receiver use the same frequency) or a battery low problem will cause the receiver frequency to be affected.
Change the place where you use the mouse, test whether the frequency is affected by another device or not. If yes, move the AP router farther away from receiver, and also move the mouse closer to receiver. But if it is not a wireless mouse, the mouse is broken.
7. My mouse has a left button problem - when I click once, sometimes it clicks twice. Tried to put in a new battery, change the USB port on my laptop, but the issue is still the same.
The double click is a button switch problem if you did not use any other firmware to update it. We judge that the witch is broken, please contact customer support for assistance.
8. I got a USB Device Not Recognized in Windows error message in OS, when I plug the device into laptop/PC. How do I solve this? Can you send me the driver?
Check if your device is a plug-n-play device or not. If yes, there is no need to install a driver.
Some devices have additional buttons and you need to install the driver, but for those models, you do not need to install the driver if you do not want to use the additional buttons. The cursor, Left/Middle/Right buttons should work fine. Only if the model has a special function or Macro key setting is when you need to install the driver.
1. Update your USB Device Driver on Device Manager.
2. Restart your PC and unplug the USB cable again.
3. Connect the USB cable to PC directly, to exclude the problem of output voltage of Hub. If you plug in too many USB cables into the same USB slot, it will cause a low supply voltage to the USB cable.
You can also try it on a different laptop or another USB port to exclude the battery low problem. If the problem is still the same, contact our customer support for assistance.
9. I recently purchased a keyboard/mouse combo and was unable to find one with a PS2 connection. I have the USB version, but would like to connect it to my PC to the PS2 port if possible. Can I use the USB - PS2 converter?
Because of patent issue, our keyboard and mouse do not include the PS2 converter to USB inside.
Even if you have a converter, the keyboard/mouse will not function with your latop.
10. I bought a Genius product seven days ago. However, it cannot be turned on anymore.
It is brand new, I bought it from Amazon, how do I get a replacement?
Since it is still in the 30 day return period for Amazon, we suggest you return the defective unit to Amazon for exchange/refund. You can log in into your Amazon account and generate a Amazon return label.
11. The mouse cursor sometimes lags or stops for a few seconds, if I move it away from my WiFi it becomes normal. How do I solve this problem?
Try to change the battery first. The mouse is 2.4GHz frequency which is the same as the WiFi router, and the the mouse has the frequency hopping function. If you use too many of the same series/model of mice in the same area, it may also cause this problem. But if your mouse is a wire mouse, the mouse is broken.
12. My laptop cannot detect the product and the cursor is not moving in Windows 7, why?
The laptop will search for the receiver/USB device in Windows 7 /Windows 7 Pro the first time, which causes the cursor not to move for awhile. If it does not work after waiting for three minutes, pull the receiver/USB device out and then plug it again.
13. We have some problems with your product. I need a service manual to check for potential problems, so can repair it ourselves.
Unfortunately, we do not provide technical manuals to end users, you can contact customer support for assistance.
14. What is the battery life for NX-7000, NX-7005, NX-7010, NX-7015?
The new battery life is around 6 months.
15. I cannot find the driver that supports my device, I am hoping you can develop a driver which can work with the latest versions of Windows and other systems.
If you cannot find the driver on our website that is higher than your OS, that means there is no driver compatible with your O.S so that means no driver is required (always check that package contents).
The supported OS is always shown on the package. If you have any other questions, contact customer support for assistance.
16. The NX-7000/NX-7005/7010/7015 mouse does not work, how do I solve the problem?
1.Change a new battery to exlcude battery low problem.
2.Please try to find a different laptop or connect a USB hub to test the mouse, then you would know the problem is on your laptop only or not.
3.It could be frequency problem, try to pair the mouse again it may help.
7 to 1 mouse Pairing SOP
1. Insert the Receiver to the USB Port;
2. Press the middle scroll + right button at the same time in ten seconds, the receiver and mouse will be connected automatically.
3. If you would like to pair another receiver or mouse, repeat steps 1 & 2.
a. For mouse and receiver pairing procedure, do this within 5cm distance.
b. If you want to pair the mouse to another Receiver, remove the original receiver from USB port.
c. Repeat steps 1 & 2 if the connection fails.
17. The mouse is not detected. It shows The Device Should Be Inserted Before The Execution after opening the UI.
Check if your laptop recognizes the mouse or not in the Device Manager.
Can you move the cursor and the left/right buttons are normal? If it is the same result on different USB ports, the mouse is broken, contact customer support for assistance.
18. I have a mouse with the Genius app, when I install Smart Genius software, it does not find my device. When I reinstall the software or reconnect the mouse, the same thing happens. It cannot find any genius device, what can I do?
Change new battery. The mouse should work normal even if you don't install the driver UI. But if the problem is the same after changing on different laptop, the product is broken.
19. I have a NX-7000/NX-7005/7010/7015 that must go with the Genius app, when I install Smart Genius app, it does not recognize my device. I try to reinstall the software or reconnect it, but it is the same thing happens, what can I do?
Change new battery at first if it needs. The mouse should work normal even if you don't install the driver UI. If not, rebind the mouse again. It may be frequency loss problem. After rebinding the mouse and receiver and it is still not working or is recognized, the mouse is broken.
7 to 1 mouse Pairing SOP
1. Insert the Receiver to the USB Port;
2. Press the middle scroll + right button at the same time in ten seconds, the receiver and mouse will be connected automatically.
3. If you would like to pair another receiver or mouse, repeat steps 1 & 2.
a. For mouse and receiver pairing procedure, do this within 30cm distance.
b. If you want to pair the mouse to another Receiver, remove the original receiver from USB port.
c. Repeat steps 1 & 2 if the connection fails.
20. I have a new NX-7000 series. When I connect to USB 2.0 port on my laptop. It works well. But when I connect to USB 3.0 port on my laptop, it does not work. It seems that the laptop can't identify that the receiver has been connected. Any solution?
Try the receiver on a different laptop USB3.0 if it is working or not. It could be a USB3.0 issue with your laptop in the BIOS, try to disable your USB 3.0 Mode in BIOS, it may solve the problem.
21. There is no power when I turn on the NX-7000/7005/7010/7015, but I have changed the battery. What to do?

Data integration has come a long way since the early days of data warehousing. We can now identify three major data integration initiatives in our IT environments. And â guess what? They require a clear and concise architecture. Read on to understand the three initiatives making up an enterprise data integration architecture.
Data seems to fall into three categories: master data, operational transaction data, and data used for decision making. Each of these categories requires specialized technologies and architectural components. I would like to briefly go over these in this blog.
1, Master Data â Master or reference data has been in the news a lot lately. This data consists of information about your customers, products, locations, and other major subject areas of interest to the enterprise. Today we have master data management (MDM) technologies that assure this form of data â both the current version as well as all of its history â is the best that it can be. The integrated and consolidated reference data is stored in a master data hub store.
2. Operational Transaction Data â This data consists of all the information about the activities occurring throughout the enterprise â basically it is what tracks the enterprise as it conducts its business. Purchases, call detail records, campaign activities, supplier orders, call center contacts, claims, and so on, are all examples of operational transaction data. This data must be managed much the same way as the master data and then stored in an operational data store (ODS).
3. Decision Support Data â This data consists of the historical snapshots of data used in strategic and tactical analyses. Trends, patterns, mining, multi-dimensional analytics -- all depend on this vast store of decision-making data. The snapshots are loaded into a data warehouse for ultimate delivery into the various BI applications and data marts.
You can see why an architecture is needed. All three forms of data require similar processes â the data must be collected, cleaned up, integrated, and populated into its appropriate store. All this data must also be accessible to the other environments and, in many cases, back to the operational sources themselves. The architecture becomes your road map, demonstrating data flows into and out of each data integration capability.
In addition, the three forms of data integration share many of the same technologies â EII, ETL, hardware, software, and even application software may be reused for each initiatives. Whether you create a physically distinct set of components for each initiative or create some form of mixed workload situation (combining two or more of these initiatives into the same component) is up to you. Study what each vendor has to offer, determine how the technology will fit into your architecture, ultimately supporting your overall data integration environment.
Yours in BI success,

Meet The Original "Gopher Cam"
Veteran motorsports fans may have had a question occur to them as they watched the NASCAR on Fox telecast of the Daytona 500.
The "Gopher Cam" angle that Fox used during the coverage had some fans asking themselves..where did we see this before?
Though not exactly the same, and over fifteen years in the past, the first "on the track" camera angles were seen on ESPN in a much-beloved series called Thursday Night Thunder.
The producer was Terry Lingner, who now runs a well-known and respected TV production company in Indianapolis, IN. The Lingner Group reminded us that they introduced their "Tread Cam" all the way back in 1991.
This technology was installed at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indy and was subsequently used for NASCAR Craftsman Truck and Nationwide (Busch back then) events as well.
James Fishman was the Engineer at an Indy-based company called On Board Video who was instumental in developing the "Tread Cam."
When it first came out, it actually won a national Sports Emmy Award for Innovative Technical Achievement for Fishman and ESPN. That is the real deal, pictured above.
As recently as 2006, Lingner and Fishman teamed-up again to permanently install some "Tread Cams" at the new Iowa Speedway. Race fans may remember seeing them on the Indy Car Series broadcasts from that track.
The Daly Planet got a lot of mail about this new technology, and questions about how it worked. Readers also asked where they had seen this camera angle before. I hope this information helps put things into perspective, even after more than fifteen years.
Maybe we could ask Dave Despain if people still proudly tell him that they were "Thunderheads."
The Daly Planet welcomes comments from readers. Simply click on the COMMENTS button below and follow the easy instructions. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

I want to set the record for FOX Sports' innovation track record. While they may have not created this idea, they are credited with inventing the race ticker graphic that is now used in almost every race broadcast, no matter what the network.

Yeah, I didn't understand all the fuss and excitement for the debut of the gopher cam. I was thinking the same thing JD. We've seen this camera angle many times in the past, most notably on Saturday Night Thunder, and the Iowa Speedway actually has cameras impedded in the middle of the track surface, which I think is a much better camera shot. And even as far back as 1997 CBS used a similar camera angle in the Daytona 500.
In my opinion it was way too much hype for something we've seen many times in the past and there was way too much usage of it during the broadcast. The scared gopher animation was kind of funny the first time they unveiled the camera but to repeat that animation over and over every time they used that camera shot was definitely overkill.
To me, the gopher cam hype was much ado about nothing. What next, a camera on top of the roof of one of the cars actually competing in the race?

Anon 10:37PM,
I don't think you are going to find anyone here that has a problem with that. Fox has been great for NASCAR from day one.

JD- Am I correct that none of the people involved with the Tread Cam were involved with FOX's Gopher Cam?
I understand the networks' and NASCAR's need to attract new fans. I feel that's a fact of life - but, how they go about it is the issue. I did not find the gopher irritating, but I have not been able to watch all of the race yet. I want to see the ratings stay up to an "acceptable" level to keep the quality up and, in particular, another quality network besides ESPN involved in carrying NASCAR. If a small cartoon helps attract and hold new fans - especially young fans - that is a price I'm willing to pay to keep the broadcasts at the FOX level. In fact, I would be willing to put up with a SMALL herd of gophers in place of Bill Weber.

I seem to remember the tread cam on some Winston Cup races, particularly at road courses (rumble strips at Watkins Glen). I also remember that quite often those cams could be disabled fairly early in an event! I'll tell you what, those guys at the Lingner Group were true innovators of racing coverage. Sometimes the techniques were great, sometimes not so much, but always interesting. I must say I am glad they didn't invent the draft tracker though!

I wasn't going to comment but Richard in NC has just forced me to tell him how funny his Weber comment is...(do gophers travel in herds, lol?) And I totally agree.
But I had never thought about the cartoon's appeal to kids...and I have to admit, you want to 'breed'
new fans. I always remember my niece watching a race at age 10 or so, saying 'they have cameras IN the cars? Cool!' So it's good to try and see through someone else's eyes. As long as they don't overdo. I will admit--it did remind me of a family of groundhogs living in turn 2 at Watkins Glen--I was there at an IRL race and the first few times the cars came around they all jumped in their hole, but after awhile they got used to it. And they were smart enough not to go on track...
The different camera angles are fine if used *occasionally* and not in place of real racing going on. Sometimes these guys are like little kids with a new toy.

I thought the little gopher animation was hilarious at first. But by the end of the broadcast I was screaming ENOUGH ALREADY! That said, I had the same issues with FOX's use of bumper cams and other angles that made it impossible to follow the action on the track.
I feel it is imperative at Daytona and Talladega to keep frivolous camera angles to a minimum and primarily use wide shots so we can follow cars moving forward or backward through the pack.
Also, I can't say I ever heard FOX claim this was "new technology", just a new FOX feature that got a test run last year at Dover.
On a final note, I sure wish ESPN (or someone) would bring back Thursday Night Thunder. Back in the 90s I rarely missed a show, keeping my Thursday (or Saturday) nights free to be with my tv. IRP was a great track for the midgets and sprints, but I really loved the rare occasions when they would race at Salem or Winchester.

Thanks, John. I remember the day they iinstalled and tested the "Treadcam" (I voted for "Splatcam") at the end of the front straightaway on the oval at IRP. They were using one of Bob East's Beast midgets to test it, and I took an IRP logo out there and stuck it on the front of the car so it would show in the tests. Also, you may recall that it was wiped out only once that year. In what was the Busch race, Kenny Wallace got into a situation and blew a right front tire on the front straightaway. The wheel was sideways when it hit the camera and took it right out. I still miss those days of working with Terry Lingner, Greg Oldham, and their people. Thanks for the reminder.

It was a couple of years ago I think, that Fox did this at Dover. The second time they showed it, a car creamed it and gave us a view of the sky the rest of the race.
I believe they referenced it's demise on Sunday's broadcast.

How can you criticize Bill Weber when FOX/SPEED have so many unwatchable broadcasters. I happen to like Bill Weber. I have a problem with the goofy Waltrips , Larry MacScreech, Kenny Wallace,Spenser, etc. I don't see FOX as being on that high a level, there is a definite room for improvement. At least ESPN and TNT do not have any people who are way out of the box as far as antics and silliness goes. It does go back some to personal choice as far as broadcast styles. I have a lot of trouble with the above mentioned FOX crew, whereas I guess some people like it.

My roommate, MayBelle Honkers Louise, a treeing walker coonhound really liked the gopher...especially the little scream thing it did when it dove back in the hole. Of course, she likes DW, too. There's hope. She's only 7 months old.

Love the cool camera angles, but how about we take it to the next level. Suspend a cable mid track, above the cars, about twenty feet up in the air. Attach a camera that would be propelled at up to 200 miles an hour to follow a pack of cars around a track. It might really give the feeling of traveling as fast as the drivers. It would be great! And I bet it could be done.

In response to Seek:
Mike Joy gushed on the air, all over "his boss Bill Brown" the "creator of the gophercam" and went on and on and ON about how great, how innovative etc etc etc. He did that on Thursday...I think.
Why doesn't ESPN bring Mr. Lingner and his team back, if they were responsible for the great race coverage we used to get?
Finally, I am really hard pressed to belive that an animated gopher is going to create new, young fans of NASCAR.. Fox just used (and used and abused) that gimmick solely because they had built it, and nothing more. I submit-as proof- the fact that the director took that camera at leat 3 or 4 times when it was totally whited out by the sun. Hey, why let the fact that you can't see the cars on the track-or anything else for that matter- stop you from showing off that "cool, totally FOX innovation"?
The answer? Because they are all drinking the Kool Aid and belive their own self serving publicity.

Nope, wrong again.
ESPN introduced periodic full field tickers as early as 1992. In 1996, ABC/ESPN created the scrolling banner for IRL/CART/NASCAR. FOX wasn't even in the auto racing business yet.

Surface roughness
The surface roughness values of the counterface for radial shaft seals, calculated according to methods described in ISO 4288 (DIN 4768), should be kept within the limits specified in RMA OS-1-1 (table).
The lower value for Ra is a minimum value. Using a lower value will adversely affect the lubricant supply to the sealing lip. The temperature rise caused by inadequate lubrication, particularly at high circumferential speeds, can lead to hardening and cracking of the sealing lip which will eventually lead to premature seal failure. If the counterface is too rough, there will be excessive sealing lip wear and seal service life will be shortened. If the value Rpm is exceeded, the seal will leak or excessive sealing lip wear may occur.

This little round antique ivory vinaigrette was used by 19th century ladies to carry perfume or smelling salts. The top is engraved with patterns of Madras work dots and circles. This is a form of scrimshaw work where black lacquer is flowed into the engraved designs. It has a lovely mellow patina and distinctive ivory grain pattern. It contains a pierced inner disk which unscrews so that a piece of saturated wool or cotton could be inserted. It still contains a little ball of sheep wool.
The condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or other damage and the lacquer designs are pretty much intact. It measures slightly over 3/4" in diameter and screws together well. It's English and dates to the early 19th century. A variety of Madras work sewing needlework tools are shown in this material on p. 87 of Nerylla Taunton's book "Antique Needlework Tools and Embroideries".

We're live at the Impact Zone, and our hosts for the evening are Mike Tenay and Taz. Five titles will be on the line tonight, most importantly the World Title Match between Kurt Angle and defending champion Sting! We're even going to kick the evening off with a title match...
X Division Title Match: Brian Kendrick vs Alex Shelley vs Austin Aries
Brian Kendrick has new entrance music reminiscent of his old ROH music, and is wearing Neidhart pants. I love it! Aries cheapshots both men but gets laid out by Shelley and Kendrick and is clotheslined to the floor. Shelley and Kendrick cautiously circle one another before going to a mat wrestling sequence. Shelley with a modified crucifix for 2, and takes a glance down at Aries on the floor to make sure he doesn't try anything untoward. Wristlock exchange leads to Shelley picking the ankle of Kendrick and going for a Texas Cloverleaf, but Aries runs in and Shelley drops the hold to chop him back out to the floor. Aries gets back on the apron, so Shelley pops him in the face and puts him back out to the floor again. Aries tries to come in yet again, and winds up on the receiving end of an inverted atomic drop/leg lariat combo from Kendrick and Shelley, and then Shelley rolls Kendrick up for 2. Shelley goes for a vertical suplex on Kendrick, but Aries slips in and saves Kendrick and rakes the back of Shelley. This, for some reason, leads to Shelley getting angry at Kendrick and going to a forearm exchange. Kendrick drills Shelley out to the floor but Aries blindsides Kendrick with a clothesline and puts the boots to him, then baseball slides Shelley off the apron and covers Kendrick for 2. Aries with a figure four stump puller on Kendrick, then drops the hold to knock Shelley off the apron yet again and then awkwardly backdrop Kendrick to the floor, with Kendrick appearing to catch his leg on the apron on the way down. Shelley sunset flips his way back in, but Aries hits an STO and then goes for the pendulum elbow, but stops to knock Kendrick off the apron and then dump Shelley through the ropes right on top of Kendrick. Aries is getting a big reaction from the crowd as he hits a heat seeking missile through the ropes, then rolls Shelley back in and hits a twisting splash over the ropes for 2. Aries goes for a Lionsault, but Shelley gets the knees up and Kendrick hits a leg lariat to the jaw of Aries. Shelley hooks Kendrick in a Crippler Crossface, but Kendrick makes the ropes, so Shelley nails him with the sole butt and goes for Sliced Bread #2, Kendrick shoves him off but Shelley hits a leg whip through the ropes and goes up top. Aries nails him and pulls him down to the apron, but Shelley superkicks Aries off the apron and goes back to the top where Kendrick nails him and follows him up. Shelley shoves Kendrick off and hits a top rope splash, then traps Kendrick in an inverted figure four. Aries comes in and rakes his boot across the eyes of Shelley to break the hold, then rams both men to opposite corners and hits a running bulldog on Shelley before locking him in the Last Chancery. Kendrick breaks the hold, so Aries hits him with the shinbreaker/suplex combo and then goes for the IED, but Kendrick gets the boot up and hits a running boot on Aries for 2. Kendrick tries Sliced Bread #2, Aries blocks and tries a top rope suplex, but Shelley nails him and gets Aries on his shoulders, Kendrick tried Sliced Bread #2 but lost his balance, so Aries hits the shinbreaker/suplex combo on Shelley, dropkicks Kendrick to the floor, then hits Shelley with the IED and brainbuster for 2. Kendrick suddenly runs in and hits Sliced Bread #2 on Aries on top of Shelley and then pins Shelley for the win.
Winner: Brian Kendrick
Solid opener, I'm a little surprised to see Kendrick retain, but glad to see him hold onto the title.
Tenay and Taz discuss tonight's main event between Sting and Kurt Angle, then we go to the back where Jeremy Borash is with Tara and Miss Tessmacher, who say that it's become personal because of the way Sarita and Rosita jumped them in the parking lot. Tessmacher disfigured Sarita becuase she did what she had to do in the parking lot, and Tara says no matter what, they're leaving the ring with the title.
Knockouts Tag Team Title Match: Tara & Miss Tessmacher vs Sarita & Rosita
Referee Earl Hebner kicks both Hernandez and Anarquia out of ringside, so it's just the four girls. Rosita gets right in Tara's face, so Tara just pops her into the corner and unloads with a big right hand. Rosita tags right out to Sarita, who comes off the ropes and gets elevated into a backdrop. Tessmacher comes in and gets popped into the air, but comes down with an armdrag and then gets a top wristlock on Rosita and takes her to the corner so Tara can come in and overpower Rosita. Rosita comes out of the corner with a flying headscissors, but charges Tara in the corner and eats her boot. Rosita Tullys Tara to the floor and then distracts the referee while Sarita hits a rolling senton off the apron and rolls her back in the ring so Rosita can cover for 2. Tara tags out and Tessmacher comes in with a back suplex and a running dropkick for 2. Sarita tags in, and Tessmacher gets a knee to the midsection and covers for 2, but Rosita nails her from the outside and Sarita drops her on her face. Sarita gleefully tosses Tessmacher around with hiplocks and hair tosses as Taz references Candy Devine of all people, and then Sarita slingshots Rosita off the ropes and onto Tessmacher for 2. Sarita, who is neither Mexican nor American, gets rolled up for 2, then Tessmacher tags out to Tara, who comes in and cleans house on both girls. Rosita tries to interfere, but Tessmacher nails her and Tara wipes Sarita out with a clothesline, but Sarita gets a double chicken wing and drops Tara right on her shoulder in a really nasty spot. Rosita neutralizes Tessmacher on the floor as Sarita covers Tara for 2, then Sarita tosses Tara across the ring in brutal fashion, but Tara wipes both Mexican Americans out with a double clothesline. Tara tries the Widow's Peak but Rosita reverses to a rollup and holds Sarita's hands from the outside, but Tessmacher nails Sarita and Tara kicks out at 2. Tara press slams Rosita, and Rosita tries to make the hot tag, but now Tessmacher yanks Sarita off the apron, dropping her on her face on the apron, and Tara hits the Widow's Peak on Rosita for the win.
Winners: Tara & Miss Tessmacher
We go to the back where Jeremy Borash is with the Pope, and Pope says that he's been trying to talk to Devon and his kids and is trying to tweet to everybody that he's trying to do it right tonight. He doesn't know what Devon's problem is because all Pope wants to do is the right thing, and he knows it's going to be intense because this is a Bound For Glory Series match, but Pope's going to go out there and do the right thing tonight.
We look at the Bound For Glory Series board, and Crimson is still in first place with RVD in second and Devon in fourth with the chance to move into a tie for first if he can catch a submission on Pope tonight.
Matt Morgan comes out to do commentary on the next match, then we're off the the ring for...
Bound For Glory Series: The Pope vs Devon
The bell rings, but before they make contact, Pope gets a microphone and tells Devon that he respects him and he gave Devon seven points a few weeks ago for a reason, because his relationship with Devon, his kids, and their mother means a lot to him. If it means that much to Devon, he'll prove that this means more than beating each other's brains out. Pope lays down, but Devon tells him he's going to get his seven points, but he's going to tkae it out of Pope's ass and to get up and give the fans what they came to see.
Pope gets to his feet, and we have a match on our hands. Pope has an "Okay, you asked for it!" look on his face as he comes at Devon, but Devon gets a shoulderblock and then a clothesline, and Pope tries to pull Devon on top of him to give him the win, but Devon pulls himself off Pope and smacks him in the face, asking what's wrong with him. Devon wiht an armwringer, Pope reverses to a wristlock of his own and chain wrestles around Devon and catches him with a flying forearm. Pope with an armbar on Devon and rams a knee to the gut and then comes off the ropes with a forearm to the back and an elbowdrop. Devon comes back with a hiptoss and an armdrag, then a flying back elbow for 2. Devon with a big bodyslam and a diving headbutt off the ropes for 2, Pope rolls to the apron but Devon rams him off to the floor and then goes to the floor after him, he tries a charge but Pope moves and Devon hits the ringpost. Pope grabs his chain and goes to hit Devon with it, but Devon's kids talk him out of dropping the chain, and Devon nails him out of nowhere and rolls him back inside and covers for 2. Devon gets a powerslam for 2, but charges Pope in the corner and Pope gets a hard boot up, then an inverted atomic drop and flying shoulderblock for 2. Pope is absolutely destroying Devon with elbows and a reverse chop, then hits the diving straddle through the ropes, and goes up top and hits a flying bodypress on Devon for 2. Devon comes off the ropes with a flying shoulderblock, but he misses another charge and Pope nails him and goes for the DDE, but stops short and lets Devon spear him and cover for 2. Devon goes for a chokeslam, but Pope slips out the back and rolls Devon up for 3.
Winner: The Pope
Pope extends his hand to Devon after the match, but Devon just blows him off and walks away. Devon sees his sons on the outside, and comes back in to shake Pope's hand and then leaves. Pope moves into 8th place with 17 points now.
Jeremy Borash is backstage with another participant in the Bound For Glory Series, as RVD has the opportunity to be the first man to beat Crimson and take first place in the Series. Jerry Lynn comes in and says that he got in the ring with RVD last month, but wants to be in RVD's corner tonight. I smell screwjob!
We see a video package recapping the Winter & Angelina vs Mickie James feud leading into tonight's title match.
The Knockouts Title is on the line next on Page 2!

Arkansas Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Wendy Bebout Elliott, Ph.D., FUGA for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Statewide registration of births and deaths in Arkansas did not begin until February 1914. Compliance was not complete for approximately three decades. The Division of Vital Records, Arkansas Department of Health, 4815 W. Markham St., Little Rock, AR 72201, has records from that date. Some local vital records for Little Rock and Fort Smith are maintained by the Arkansas History Commission. When requesting copies, include a statement of purpose and your relationship. Delayed birth certificates are also available.
In addition to death records noted in newspapers (see Arkansas Periodicals, Newspapers, and Manuscript Collections), Arkansas Genealogical Society's Masonic Deaths in Arkansas, 1838'1916 (Hot Springs: Arkansas Genealogical Society, 1999) contains abstracts and supplemented data compiled from annual proceedings of the Grand Lodge. See also vital record resources published by Desmond Walls Allen through Arkansas Research, Inc.. Ancestry.com also has a database of death records at Arkansas Death Index, 1914-1950.
Statewide registration of marriage did not begin until 1917, but once counties were organized, most of them began recording marriages. The Division of Vital Records maintains marriage records only since 1917. Earlier records must be obtained from the respective county clerk where the license was issued, which is frequently the county of the bride's residence. Many early marriage records include names of bride and groom, ages, and residence. Later records contain more information. The Arkansas History Commission has indexes to marriage records on microfiche for the years 1933'39. These are marriages reported to the Arkansas Health Department, alphabetically arranged by groom's names and referenced by the county in which the marriage was recorded.
Ancestry.com has a variety of Arkansas marriage databases including:
- Arkansas Marriages, 1779-1992
- Arkansas Marriages, 1820-1949
- Arkansas Marriages to 1850
- Arkansas Marriages, 1851-1900
- Arkansas Marriage Index, 1933-1939
FamilySearch.org has a variety of collections available online for free to the public including:

Students Spend Summer Program Immersed in Research and Entrepreneurship
Every summer, a time when most college students are relaxing, a select group of Stevens students is researching important projects through the university's Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Summer Scholars program. The 33 students who participated in this year's group presented their work during a poster session inside the Babbio Center Atrium on Oct. 17, 2012.
The students in the summer program work on research projects that have commercial potential. The students can work individually or in groups, and can choose their own projects or take suggestions from professors.
"The focus is on market application more than just research for the sake of research," said I&E Summer Scholars Program Director David Peacock.
The program began in 2001. It was formerly named Technogenesis but was renamed when its department, the Office of Academic Entrepreneurship, merged with the Office of Enterprise Development to form the new Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OIE). The OIE was formed to meet Stevens' new strategic initiatives and will assist students, faculty, and alumni who want to pursue research or start a company.
Students must have a GPA over 3.0 and then apply to a selection committee to gain admission to the program. The competition is fierce: in 12 years the program has accepted only 360 students out of 830 applicants. Students can participate in the program for multiple years, though they must apply each year.
Each student receives a $3,500 grant and free on-campus housing. Peacock said the program usually costs around $200,000 annually. The program uses funding from several sources, including grants and scholarships from the Estate of Mrs. Marcelle G. Kadell, the Hesed Foundation, NASA and the National Science Foundation.
The program lasts for ten weeks. Amber Rorick, a senior Chemical Biology major with a concentration in bioanalytical chemistry, used the time to continue a project she started in the spring. She designed a computational method to test the nuclear magnetic resonance of oxygen in the human body, which could potentially save time and money for the biomedical industry.
Rorick said the program enabled her to immerse herself in the project.
"I went from working on it 8-10 hours per week to 8-10 hours per day," she said.
She also credited her advisor, Professor Yong Zhang.
"Professor Zhang really helped me along the way," Rorick said. "He was very helpful throughout the whole process."
Daniel Burke, a senior Chemical Biology major whose project on molecules and cardiac health also has biomedical applications, also said Zhang encouraged him.
"He'll help us understand our question and point us in the right direction, but without giving us the answer," Burke said.
Burke added that he learned much from participating in the program, including how to work in a group, proper lab techniques and documentation, and how to manage time.
Dimitri Koshkin showed the work he did for the Stevens entry in the upcoming Solar Decathlon, a biennial competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy where student teams build innovative and energy efficient homes, and with each school later donating its house to a low-income family. In 2011 Stevens took first place in two of the ten categories, affordability and hot water use, and then relocated its house for a family in the Deanwood neighborhood of Washington D.C.
Koshkin is on the Electrical Engineering team for Stevens' 2013 Solar Decathlon house. He designed a system of sensors and monitors that will manage the home's energy and water use, such as automatically adjusting heating and cooling to reflect outside temperatures, turning off lights in unoccupied rooms, and enabling the homeowner to control appliances and even the locks on the front door through an iPad application. Koshkin estimated he spent around $1,500 for all the parts, which he said was a substantial savings compared to similar systems already on the market.
Koshkin, a senior Electrical Engineering major, said the summer program gave him time to design his project before he spent the resources to build it. He also said he benefited from working with Professor John Nastasi.
"He says it how it is," Koshkin said. "He helped me develop all of this and forced me to know what I'm doing."
After the poster session each of the students received a certificate, a photo yearbook and a special commemorative coin for completing the program. The coin features a circular diagram of arrows and the words students, faculty and industry feeding into each other.
Peacock said the summer program and the Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship will continue to evolve as Stevens develops its new strategic initiatives. He added that he hopes each of the students who participate will continue their projects. More than 75 percent of the students enrolled during the program's previous years have continued their projects as seniors or graduate students, or have received additional grants and university funding.
"Hopefully this is the beginning of their spark to doing hard research, and later they'll take this technology with them outside the university," Peacock said.

Striker Hisato Sato recently spearheaded Sanfrecce Hiroshima's charge to their first J.League crown, but this season's golden boot winner in the Japanese top flight isn't one to sit on his laurels. He is in excited mood ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins Thursday.
Sato has played 31 times for Japan's national team, scoring four goals for his country, but he has not yet appeared at a FIFA World Cup™. That alone makes the chance to play at this global club showpiece all the more mouth-watering for the 30-year-old veteran. "I'm looking forward to seeing how Hiroshima's football stands up to teams from other countries," Sato said recently. "We'll be prepared thoroughly and we will do what needs to be done so we can win."
Sanfrecce's opponents in the tournament opener will be Auckland City FC, the first team to play at four FIFA Club World Cups. The all-amateur New Zealanders are captained by experienced defender Ivan Vicelich, who has no intention of giving the host nation's representative an easy ride. "We're in good shape, and we're planning to be in top condition when the tournament starts," the Kiwi told FIFA.com.
Tough test from Oceania men
The physically robust and imposing Auckland defence will present some unique challenges for the 1.7m Sato. However, as shown by his tally of 22 goals in 34 games this season, the striker's clinical finishing and knack for being in the right place at the right time could also present some problems for the Oceania hopefuls.
Sato came through the youth academy at JEF United Ichihara and played for Cerezo Osaka and Vegalta Sendai before joining his present club in 2005. He remained with the team even after they were relegated to the second division in 2007, and he has become very much the face of Sanfrecce. When former team-mate and striker Tadanari Lee left to join English side Southampton in January, some observers suggested Sanfrecce might not have the firepower to make a serious title bid. Sato put those fears to rest, however, with a stellar season in which he often played up front on his own.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Hiroshima's football stands up to teams from other countries.
Sato's goal-scoring exploits owe much to the understanding he has forged with attacking midfielder Yojiro Takahagi, whose accurate passing and willingness to shoot from distance have added considerable venom to the attack. Sato and Takahagi played in all 34 games this season, a feat matched by steadfast national team goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa. Takahagi's sparkling season was partly inspired by a desire to bring some cheer to his hometown of Iwaki in Fukushima Prefecture, which was hit hard by the March 2011 disaster. Indeed, his family's home was damaged by the tsunami.
"When I play, I often think about how I can help people in areas affected by the disaster, and how I can give them courage," said Takahagi, a product of Sanfrecce's acclaimed youth academy.
Sanfrecce production line
Veteran midfield twins, Koji and Kazuyuki Morisaki, also came through the same development programme. Koji, whose accurate free-kicks and corners have been crucial to Sanfrecce's accomplishments, is proud of what his club has achieved, saying: "I think it's really significant that a smaller local club like ours won the title."
Although Sato's goals have made plenty of headlines, the team's defence has also played an essential role. The Japanese media have lavished praise on first-year manager Hajime Moriyasu, a former Sanfrecce and Japan defensive midfielder, for carrying on the attack-minded style of football nurtured by his predecessor, Mihailo Petrovic, and adding some steel to the back line. His side conceded an average of just one goal per game during the season, the second-meanest rearguard in the J.League.
Moriyasu might have already exceeded expectations by guiding Sanfrecce to the title, but he hopes to finish the season with a flourish at the much-anticipated club showpiece. Japan's best result at a FIFA Club World Cup is third, a feat accomplished by Urawa Reds in 2007 and Gamba Osaka in 2008. If Moriyasu's side gets past Auckland City, they will face African champions Al-Ahly in the quarter-finals. Should the J.League toppers then defeat the Egyptians, a dream match-up against South American champions Corinthians is in store.
Sato, who played with Moriyasu during his days in Sendai, is hoping this remarkable season throws up another surprise or two. "I really want to play against Chelsea or Corinthians," he concluded.

MOST likely a workshop or high-powered meeting has taken you to Fiji's center of administration, Suva. An important regional hub the Fijian capital, one of four Melanesian urban centers, has fast developed a skyline of malls, office space, and rented accommodation. If you haven't been to Suva, this is a lean guide. The hub tag means Suva is fairly equipped to host conferences. MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences & exhibitions) being a tourism niche, major hotels within Suva's central district have the capacity for formal /business events. But in the midst of the bustle that an administrative centre in the Pacific can hustle, Suva is laid back by varied degrees depending where you are. Explore the city by the bay on foot. Hire a vehicle and explore even further. You'll find there are commercial pockets outside the immediate city limits.

WHEN United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon flew to Apia to attend the UN conference on small island developing states last September, he opted to stay at Tanoa Tusitala Hotel and not in a luxurious suite on board the eleven-deck 1991 built Pacific Jewel P&O cruise-liner berthed on Apia Wharf.The 4.5 star 95-room hotel situated along Apia's Beach Road that runs along the shores of Apia Harbour could not have asked for any better endorsement. Also staying in the hotel for this high-powered summit was Ban Ki-moon's UN Development Programme Administrator, former New Zealand Prime Minister, Helen Clarke.Then again attracting world-class guests is nothing new to the hotel. Its second name Tusitala is Samoan for "story-teller," the name Samoan affectionately called the famous Scottish novelist and poet Robert Louis Stevenson. Among his works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. His final resting place on Mount Vailima is visible from many points in and around Apia. The mansion that he lived in is now a museum and is one of the must visit attractions of the Samoan capital.No doubt about it, Tanoa Tusitala is like an oasis in the urban jungle of Apia town.

KNOWN as the 'Gateway to Micronesia', Majuro is the first stop on the three-times-weekly United Airline service from Honolulu—a service that island hops through to Guam, touching down, after Majuro, at Kwajalein, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Chuuk. With the resumption over two years ago of Nauru Airlines (formerly Our Airline) service connecting Majuro with islands south of the equator as well as Brisbane, it makes Majuro a significant connection point for business and government travelers who need to move around the central Pacific.

Did you know that the average household contains anywhere from 3 to 10 gallons of toxic materials, most of which are cleaners? Conventional cleaners come with a myriad of issues not limited to health concerns. For one, the consumer is in the dark in regards to what chemicals these cleaners actually contain. Sellers are not required to reveal "trade secret" ingredients and therefore we are left with a generic "DANGER, WARNING, and/or POISON" warning label without a complete list of chemical ingredients. What's more is that many of these conventional cleaners are specifically targeted for parents of babies and children. Again, according to the CDC, every day, over 300 children in the United States ages 0 to 19 are treated in an emergency department, and two children die, as a result of being poisoned. Read on to learn how to make your own natrual cleaner!

What is the most important information I should know about sotalol?
You will receive your first few doses of sotalol in a hospital setting where your heart can be monitored in case the medicine causes serious side effects.
You should not use sotalol if you have asthma, certain serious heart conditions, or a history of Long QT syndrome.
What is sotalol?
Sotalol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Sotalol is used to help keep the heart beating normally in people with certain heart rhythm disorders of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow out of the heart). Sotalol is used in people with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
Another form of this medicine, called sotalol AF, is used to treat heart rhythm disorders of the atrium (the upper chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow into the heart). Sotalol AF is used in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
Sotalol (Betapace, Sorine, Sotylize) is not used for the same conditions that sotalol AF (Betapace AF) is used for.
Sotalol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking sotalol?
You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to sotalol, or if you have:
- a serious heart condition such as "sick sinus syndrome" or "AV block" (unless you have a pacemaker);
- severe heart failure (that required you to be in the hospital);
- asthma or other breathing disorder;
- low levels of potassium in your blood;
- severe kidney disease;
- a personal or family history of Long QT syndrome; or
- a history of slow heart beats that have caused you to faint.
To make sure sotalol is safe for you, tell your doctor about your other medical conditions, especially:
- breathing problems such as bronchitis or emphysema;
- a history of heart disease or congestive heart failure;
- coronary artery disease (hardened arteries);
- an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood);
- diabetes;
- kidney disease;
- a thyroid disorder;
- a history of allergies; or
- if you have recently had a heart attack.
Sotalol is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Sotalol can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using sotalol.
How should I take sotalol?
You will receive your first few doses of sotalol in a hospital setting where your heart can be monitored in case the medication causes serious side effects.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Take sotalol at the same time every day.
Do not skip doses or stop using sotalol without your doctor's advice. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.
Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
While using sotalol, you may need frequent blood tests. Your heart function may need to be checked using an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG).
You may have very low blood pressure while taking this medicine. Call your doctor if you are sick with vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. Prolonged illness can lead to a serious electrolyte imbalance, making it dangerous for you to use sotalol.
If you need surgery or medical tests, tell the doctor ahead of time that you are using sotalol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Sotalol (Betapace, Sorine, Sotylize) and sotalol AF (Betapace AF) are not the same medicine. Always check your medicine when it is refilled to make sure you have received the correct brand and type as prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine given to you at the pharmacy.
If there are any changes in the brand or strength of sotalol you use, your dosage needs may change.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if your next dose is less than 8 hours away. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Use sotalol regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking sotalol?
Avoid taking an antacid within 2 hours before or 2 hours after you take sotalol. Some antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb sotalol.
What are the possible side effects of sotalol?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
- headache with chest pain and severe dizziness, fainting, fast or pounding heartbeats;
- slow heartbeats;
- a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
- trouble breathing;
- severe diarrhea or vomiting, loss of appetite;
- dry mouth, unusual sweating, increased thirst; or
- swelling, rapid weight gain.
Common side effects may include:
- headache;
- dizziness;
- tired feeling; or
- slow heartbeats.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect sotalol?
Many drugs can interact with sotalol. Not all possible interactions are listed here. Tell your doctor about all your medications and any you start or stop using during treatment with sotalol, especially:
- digoxin;
- insulin or oral diabetes medicine;

During eight days of fighting with Hamas forces in November, Israel launched airstrikes that targeted two buildings in Gaza housing local and international news outlets, injuring at least nine journalists. Separate missile attacks killed at least two other journalists. Israeli officials broadly asserted that the individuals and news facilities had connections to terrorist activities but disclosed no substantiation for the allegations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not respond to a written request from CPJ seeking information supporting Israel's claims. Israel's press freedom record suffered in other respects, with lawmakers pushing a bill to dramatically increase fines for alleged libel and impose requirements that news media publish responses from plaintiffs. The bill was pending in late year. Israeli forces continued sporadic attacks on Palestinian journalists covering anti-settlement demonstrations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. In one case, video captured Israeli soldiers beating two Palestinian journalists wearing gear marked "press" at an August demonstration in the town of Kafr Qaddum. In February, Israeli authorities raided two Palestinian television stations and confiscated the outlets' equipment, citing alleged frequency violations. One, Wattan TV, had been funded by U.S. government agencies, prompting the U.S. State Department to join CPJ's calls for the equipment's return. Press freedom deteriorated in the West Bank as well. In April, the Palestinian Authority blocked several websites seen as critical of President Mahmoud Abbas, while detaining two journalists who had covered allegations of official corruption. PA security forces assaulted several journalists covering anti-government protests in July. In the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, assaults and threats against critical journalists continued, and self-censorship prevailed.
Israel was holding two journalists without charge, one of them since 2011, according to CPJ's annual worldwide census of imprisoned journalists.
* One in Israeli custody; three in Hamas custody
** Four in Israeli custody; three in Hamas custody
*** All in Israeli custody
Hussam Salama and Mahmoud al-Kumi, cameramen for the Hamas-run television station Al-Aqsa, were killed in November when an Israeli missile hit their car in the Al-Shifaa neighborhood of central Gaza, the station and other news organizations said. Al-Kumi and Salama had just completed an assignment at Al-Shifaa Hospital.
If the Knesset approves a proposed amendment to the 1965 Defamation Act, fines for libel would increase six-fold, from 50,000 shekels (US$12,987) to 300,000 shekels (US$77,936). Plaintiffs could still seek damages that would be separate from the fines.
About 30 Israeli soldiers raided the offices of Wattan TV, a private news broadcaster, and confiscated the station's transmitters, computers, and other equipment, including a news archive covering the previous 10 years. CPJ and the U.S. State Department called for the government to return the equipment.
February 29:
|Israeli soldiers carry out a predawn raid on Wattan TV offices in the West Bank, confiscate equipment and archival material.
April 24:
|Muammar Orabi, head of Wattan TV, asks the U.S. government to urge the Israelis to return the equipment, which was largely U.S. government-funded.
May 8:
|CPJ writes to Israeli Ministry of Communications to press for the return of Wattan TV's equipment.
July 5:
|CPJ writes to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to push the Israelis to return the confiscated equipment.
August 7:
|The State Department pledges to assist.

These three talks were recorded live at a COURAGE Conference. COURAGE is a spiritual support group for homosexual persons wishing to lead chaste lives in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church's teachings.
Fr. Benedict explains two of the goals which characterize the Courage movement: 1. to live chaste lives in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church's teachings; 2. to dedicate one's entire life to Christ through service to others, spiritual reading, prayer, meditation, individual spiritual direction, frequent reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. He challenges those who experience a homosexual orientation to lead lives of greater holiness.
Fr. Harvey holds that the need for intimacy can be satisfied without emotional dependency. True friendships are recognized by mutual love, ongoing communication and the ability to remain independent. Yet, not even the best of friendships can satisfy the heart's deepest desire- intimacy with God.
Drawing from her own personal experience, Vera reflects on how our human weakness and woundedness can lead to a greater trust in the Lord and acceptance of ourselves.

Best Practices
Best in class organizations exhibit a consistent set of behaviors and identify and implement improved processes in order to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their transportation operations. Organizations seeking continuous improvement monitor, measure and compare their performance against other organizations to improve their return on investment, generate greater savings, enhance their supply chain and improve sustainability. In the Office of Government-wide Policy, we encourage all who are engaged in transportation management to use best practices to improve operational performance. The following is a list of transportation best practices.
1. Gain Visibility
2. Forecast Demand
3. Differentiate Service Levels
4. Invest in a Transportation Management System (TMS)
5. Consolidation Shipments
6. Develop Performance Metrics
7. Perform Audits
8. Form Alliances
Content Best in class organizations gain visibility into their shipping needs and processes to identify and influence process gaps that cause variability in the supply chain. Relevant data and information is provided to Transportation Service Providers (TSP) to allow for advance planning based on shipping patterns. Good organizations analyze freight spend in order to improve their internal ability to source and negotiate freight rates.
The organizations that are best in class have the ability to forecast demand and to share the forecast with TSPs and leverage economies of scale by coordinating transportation procurements across agencies. Organizations should forecast demand for 5 years to be able to provide accurate forecasts, using the same discipline as the best commercial companies.
3. Differentiate Service Levels
The best in class organizations relentlessly focus on improving service across the entire supply chain to improve the customer experience. An organization should differentiate service levels to meet the needs and commitments of different customers. They select the most cost effective transportation methods based on the individual customers shipping criteria and segment the service level requirements by customer and type of shipment.
4. Invest in a Transportation Management System (TMS)
Best in class organizations use a TMS to determine the most effective mode and fully integrate and automate the procurement to pay lifecycle. They are also able to use a TMS to proactively monitor the shipments in transit. Fully mature organizations have systems that consolidate and automate routine transportation management tasks and are designed for joint process improvements/optimization with customers and suppliers. Organizations that use a TMS to realize increased ROI from cost reduction, efficiency improvements, empowering the organization with data and shared knowledge and optimize internal spend.
Best in class organizations use good data to unite disparate units and achieve an understanding of how to consolidate shipments in order to optimize shipping operations.They have subject matter expertise to be able to determine how to consolidate purchases and shipping where appropriate, pool parcels into zones and ship in bulk to generate savings through freight consolidations. Organizations that are using leading practices, wherever possible consolidate shipments to take advantage of savings realized by shipping in higher volumes and eliminate empty backhaul.
6. Develop Performance Metrics
Organizations should develop standard performance metrics used by best in class companies and collect performance data to enable fact-based decision making on how to improve service and lower costs. They relentlessly compare performance metrics with best in class and make improvements for closing any gaps based on analysis of the overall freight spend trend and freight rates. By using common metrics to benchmark with other organizations, best in class organizations create performance assessments and comparisons that incorporate industry and other best practices to improve supply chain performance.
Best in class organizations automatically audit freight invoices against electronic rate tables. They audit 100% of invoices both pre and post payment to identify invoice errors, obtain an accurate shipment history and use the information to populate a database to improve the entire process.
Best in class organizations treat TSPs and other organizations who participate in the supply chain as partners and openly share information with them. They strategically use their vendor relationships to manage transportation as part of an integrated whole. By doing so they can provide advance planning for TSPs, leverage assets to ensure all organizations are prepared to meet the organizations demand and provide service in the most efficient, cost effective manner. This type of open collaborative process also provides for continuous process improvement and can maximize benefits for all participants.

Certified Math Tutor Canoga Park California. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
Over the years, numerous students have been facing harrowing experience while completing Algebra 1 assignments. Yellow Group Assessments The yellow group would have three questions, at two points each. We can subtract the same number on both sides of an equation. So, is there any actuality behind these statements? The math solutions for this type of problem are usually not listed as points, but rather as values of x. Cost is never an situation because understanding is more than sufficient for that pay out. A Persian Islamic mathematician called Muhammad ibn Masa al-khwarizmi composed a book in 820 whose title is actually translated to mean The book of Outline Concerning Computing by Transposition and Elimination. At this point, the internet will help to resolve your issue; you can find a wide range of algebra worksheets and some other tools on the internet, which helps the difficult learning process. To take full advantage of all this calculator in particular has to offer, I highly recommend that you take some time to review the handbook to familiarize yourself with all different features. This is ideal as you typically can stay on campus when receiving the tutoring sessions. There is support for Al-Khwarizmi rather than Diophantes since lots of his work with reduction is still currently available these days. An algebra worksheet is a great way to hone your math skills, and practice for an upcoming math test, or just get some valuable algebra tips. It comes with an interchangeable keypad, dividable screen for multiple calculations and a download option that allows you to download questions for exam preparations. His failure in the Matriculation examination in 1897 marked an end of his scholastic career, and he joined his elder brother, Muhammad Rahmatullah in business. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship? Will their pockets get fatter? It will help you a lot to get started and boost your self esteem. The Imam also buttressed his views and according to N.M. Teachers can help students solve these difficulties by conducting practice sessions on a regular basis. It can be the coed's discretion to choice and choose to the pace method to totally adapt to his/her capability. Kelly's "Bomb Method" for solving systems of equations was a revelation, too. Teach your child how to sort and group similar objects. Each time a mathmatical equation has to represent something that fluctuates and doesn't remain exactly the same, letters and also symbols tend to be used to characterize the varying amount. We will be working with two basic kinds of percentage problems. In addition, another 185 videos demonstrate worked algebra problems for students as extra practice. Lord Thomas Sydenham, the then governor, the chief justice of Bombay High Court, the Press and the general public supported the Bill. These experts on the internet have experience which helps them to solve these equations. It is to both help the student understand the material fully and teach as necessary during the session while also providing homework help.

UNIONDALE, N.Y., March 29 (UPI) -- Kyle Okposo gave New York a three-goal lead early in the third period Thursday and the Islanders fought off a Pittsburgh comeback to down the Penguins 5-3.
The Islanders had not defeated Pittsburgh in more than a year before sweeping their home-and-home series this week. New York's win in Pittsburgh Tuesday was its first on the Penguins' home ice since 2007.
In addition to losing again to the Islanders, the Penguins got a scare when captain Sidney Crosby was hit in the face by a puck early in the second period.
Crosby, playing in only his 17th game of the season after again missing time this year with concussion-related problems, bled heavily and had a towel over his face as he skated off the ice. He returned to action, however, before the second period came to an end.
Okposo put the Islanders in front 2-1 on the power play with 3:24 to go in the first period and Josh Bailey produced a shorthanded goal for New York 2 minutes later.
A second goal by Okposo 5:52 into the third period turned out to be the game-winner.
Jordan Staal and Evgeni Malkin scored final-period goals for the Penguins to cut their deficit to one, but Josh Bailey clinched it with an empty-net score 5 seconds from the end of the contest.
Al Montoya made 26 saves to get the win. Marc-Andre Fleury was touched for four goals on 24 shots.

Reports coming in confirm that it's likely co-pilot Andreas Lubitz intentionally brought down Flight #4U9525 and crashed it into a mountainside. A lone photo of Lubitz sitting near what looks like the Golden Gate Bridge shows a beta-ish looking European man with a kind face.
I speculate on his motives for killing 150 people.
1. He had a schizophrenic break from reality. One report claimed he had taken six months off from flight school to combat "burn-out". If a mental disorder caused him to snap, people will begin to wonder if we can pretest pilot applicants for susceptibility to paranoia. The Minority Report of the future may not be used to identify would-be criminals as much as used to identify people with hidden mental diseases capable of symptomatically erupting later in life that make them high risk candidates for jobs requiring responsibility over the lives of others.
2. Beta male rage. He suffered a recent breakup and took it out on himself and 150 strangers.
3. Omega male rage. One of the passengers was a woman (or man) he distantly loved, but couldn't have, and in a fit of spite decided to kill his fantasy amour the only way he knew how.
4. Terrorist mole. We've had a spate of planes going down because of pilot treachery. Have secretive terror-sponsoring societies filled flight schools with terrorist moles? Talk about the long game…
5. Acute depression. Can depression really drive someone to kill? I thought very depressed people are prone to retreating to solitude, away from public activity.
6. Muslim convert. No evidence of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the media Hivemind keeps this kind of info under wraps for the duration of public interest. Very little of his Facebook profile is revealing:
His Facebook page lists his interests, including German electronica band Schiller, French superstar DJ David Guetta, his local Burger King, 10-pin bowling, aviation humour and a technical website about the A320 model of aircraft he flew into a mountainside.
Dat last part. How droll.
7. Bowling and Burger King are traditionally prole pastimes. Maybe Lubitz was a prole who, by dint of hard work and native gifts, elevated himself into the upper class. While there, he came to hate his upper class peers. He took out his resentment on them in spectacular fashion. Or maybe his anodyne Facebook interests are a clever misdirection to fool people about his true beliefs.
8. Lubitz hated his co-pilot for personal reasons. Not sure why he felt the need to kill innocents along with his main target.
9. Globalized elite conspiracy to firm up their authority. Why not? A global elite conspiracy is more believable now than at any time in the recent past.
10. There were a bunch of noted globalist liberals in the passenger list. Lubitz somehow knew this beforehand, and pulled an Anders Breivik, taking out scores of the enemy in one revolutionary blow.
My bet is on #1: A schizoid break from reality. The next time you're boarding a plane, look the pilot right in the eye. Does he seem off to you? If so, reschedule your flight.
Commenter Days of Broken Arrows thinks Lubitz was on anti-depressants, and that these drugs have a history of occasionally causing users to snap, which Big Pharma in cahoots with Big Davos covers up. There is evidence that Lubitz took time off for "depression". Was he on "approved" drugs for his mental illness? Would 150 people be alive today if society hadn't deemed it helpful to shovel mouthfuls of psychotropic drugs down the throats of depressed people?
Commenter Bill offers a larger view which rings true:
Anomie. Expect more psychotic incidents as the West grows increasingly unmoored from any coherent social paradigm.
Some people can handle radical individualism and social atomization in a sea of increasing materialist diversity. But most people can't. Unmoored is the right word to describe it all.
PS I think there's more to Lubitz's actions than garden variety suicidal tendencies. Suicide is a loner's province. But someone who takes out 150 innocents on his escape from the binds of the flesh has other motivations than simple self-loathing or gloomy hopelessness. He has hatred in his heart. Who did Lubitz hate, and why did he hate them? Is a side effect of schizophrenia a scatter-shot hatred of everyone in sight?
