I can't thank Moonstones enough for getting me out of a very big hole. I telephoned my order through and the lady I spoke to could not have been more courteous or professional and she helped and guided me through the whole process efficiently and made the whole thing a pleasurable experience. The flowers were perfect and the fact they were able to send me photographs when they confirmed delivery of the flowers is spot on. I shall definitely recommend them and use them in the future without doubt.

Title | Probationary Period for Staff Employees | Number | 334 |
Section | Human Resources | Approval Date | Jun 21,2012 |
Subsection | Conditions of Employment | Effective Date | Jun 21,2012 |
1.1 Utah Valley University strives to hire and retain knowledgeable and competent staff employees. This policy establishes guidelines under which a University staff employee serves a period of time in order to both demonstrate the ability to perform the duties and fulfill the responsibilities of the position. This policy outlines the processes by which the University manages employees in a probationary employment status.
3.1 At-will employment: Employees designated as at-will have no assurance of continued employment and may be dismissed without a statement of cause, without advanced notice, and without the right to appeal, provided the termination does not violate federal or state law.
3.2 Benefits-eligible: Positions in which the employee is eligible to enroll in University medical, dental and retirement benefit programs.
3.3 Exempt employee: The classification of employees, excluding faculty and executives, who are exempt from the wage and hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
3.4 Nonexempt employee: The classification of employees who are paid either by a wage rate or by a salary that is based on a per hour wage rate and who receive time and a half for hours worked beyond 40 hours a week in compliance with the FLSA.
3.5 Probationary period: The period of initial employment that provides the employee and the University the opportunity to assess the employee's ability to perform the duties and fulfill the responsibilities of the position.
3.6 Supervisor: A University employee charged with the responsibility for managing others' performance, including conducting performance evaluations.
4.1 All, benefits-eligible nonexempt and exempt staff employees shall serve a probationary period upon initial hire at the University in a benefits-eligible staff position. During this time their work performance and general suitability for University employment shall be evaluated.
4.2 The probationary period is six months of continuous service. Extension of the probationary period for a specific time period, not to exceed an additional six months, may be requested by supervisors for employees who have not achieved, but are making satisfactory progress toward achievement of, the required standards of performance. Benefits-eligible staff employees who are rehired through the University's selection procedures following a break in employment shall complete a new probationary period.
4.3 Employment during the probationary period is considered at-will. Any termination decision during the probationary period is at the discretion of the supervisor in consultation with his or her second-level supervisor and the Associate Vice President of Human Resources, or designee.
4.4 Employees in a probationary status are not eligible to apply for other University positions without written authorization from their immediate supervisor.
4.5 Temporary and part-time hourly staff employees do not serve a probationary period as employment in these positions is considered at-will.
5.1 Probationary Period Evaluations
5.1.1 Prior to the conclusion of the probationary period, the supervisor shall provide the probationary employee a written evaluation of his or her performance. Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period, the supervisor shall inform the employee and the Associate Vice President of Human Resources, or designee, in writing.
5.1.2 If a staff member is proving unsuitable for the job, the supervisor shall discuss the employee's work performance with his or her second-level supervisor in consultation with the Associate Vice President of Human Resources, or designee. This contact shall be made as early as possible during the probationary period. The Associate Vice President of Human Resources or designee will provide advice and guidance on appropriate procedures to follow in extending the probationary period or terminating the probationary employee.
5.2 Employee Responsibilities during the Probationary Period
5.2.1 During the probationary period, the employee is responsible for 1) understanding the performance expectations established for the position; 2) performing duties of the position in accordance with established expectations; 3) actively discussing performance with the supervisor throughout the probationary period; and 4) following University guidelines regarding the probationary period.
5.2.2 An employee may resign during the probationary period without advance notice; however, to provide for a smooth exit transition, employees are encouraged to notify their supervisor in advance.
5.3 Supervisor Responsibilities during the Probationary Period
5.3.1 Typically during the first 30 calendar days of the probationary period, the supervisor should 1) explain the purpose of the probationary period to the staff member; 2) provide the staff member with a copy of the staff member's job description; and 3) explain the expectations regarding performance in the new position; and 4) follow University guidelines regarding the probationary period.
5.4 Extension of the Probationary Period
5.4.1 With prior approval from the second-level supervisor in consultation with the Associate Vice President of Human Resources, or designee, the supervisor may extend the probationary period of the probationary employee for up to six months. The request for extension must be made at least 14 calendar days prior to the end of the probationary period. The supervisor shall inform the staff member in writing of the extension of the probationary period. A copy of this written notification shall be sent to Human Resources. This process must be completed prior to the end of the staff member's initial probationary period.
5.4.2 During the extended probationary period, the supervisor will continue to assess and provide feedback to the staff member in areas where improvement is needed. If performance remains unsatisfactory during the extended probationary period, the supervisor shall contact the Associate Vice President of Human Resources, or designee. The Associate Vice President of Human Resources, or designee, will provide advice and guidance on appropriate procedures for terminating the probationary employee.
5.5 Termination of Employment
5.5.1 If the staff member proves unsuitable for the position, employment should be terminated by his or her supervisor prior to the end of the probationary period following appropriate University procedures.
5.5.2 A probationary employee who may perceive that their individual rights have been violated with respect to the termination or that they have been treated unfairly or in a prejudicial manner may file a grievance following the procedures outlined in UVU Policy 156 Grievances.

Personally I have several copies of The Callahan Chronicles. I have one falling apart edition that I re read when I'm needing a pick me up and I have two other copies to lend to anyone who will read them. I also have a lending copy of The Deed of Paksenarrion that has been seeing more use as well.
Are there any books that you find you want to get others to read because it's either foundational to a small part of your world view, think is amazingly funny, or just something that is well put together?
Tags: books, good, recomendations
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. All of my friends think it's weird, even the geeks. I think it's essential simply for Adams' sense of humor and sarcasm, minus the insane plotline. Also Lloyd Alexander, who is a mostly unsung hero of fantasy writing.
Do you find that you need to teach others to enjoy it? I've found it resonates with most people that I introduce it to.
Although not true SF, I use Good Omens as a litmus test to rate somebody friendability. I have loaned out (and thus lost) no less than 9 copies of this book and am happy to continue doing so.
Oh yes, absolutely. I recently gave away my first copy to a friend who was bemoaning the fact they'd never gotten around to reading it. If anything else, I now have a great excuse for repurchasing it and reading it again.
The one series that I keep pushing on people is the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Most folk I talk to about it usually look at the size of the books and try and tell me no. I've usually got them at least to read the first one all the way through and I've had a few borrow the rest of the books from me :)
I've turned quite a few people on in my workplace to the Dresden Files series of books. Butcher has gotten a bit pop-cultury with the last couple but I love the series.
The Gormenghast Trilogy: It's quite a tough read, and by the end of the third book it's clear that Peake is somewhat, well, unhinged from reality, but I've never experienced a better example of world-building.
Iain M Banks' Culture series: Space-opera at the grandest scale, but grounded in impeccable character study. And somehow totally unknown amongst the people I meet.
It sounds kinda naff at the moment, but I'm trying to turn people on to reading George R R Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series, especially those who have seen the series but haven'd read the books. I've managed to get a couple of people to do it, which is always encouraging.
I also managed to get my sister (very non-scifi/fantasy girl!!) to read the Riftwar saga from Raymond Feist. I haven't gotten the books back for a while, so she's either still reading them....or has finished them and sold them!
I'm not sure that I'd do the same with Song of Ice and Fire. I read the books between the first and second seasons of the TV show and it's changed the way that I watch it. If someone is watching the series, I'd take care to warn them that it will change the TV show for them.
Having said that, I would still push them to read it as soon as possible: It's a great entry into the grand fantasy epic genre.
I think we could use a whole thread on this series. I just finished reading through them all in one week of sickness (home from work) and now I'm a bit... unsatisfied. I loved the first two or three, but then I got pretty annoyed by the next few, which I felt didn't really go anywhere and worst of all, aren't finished and at the pace of the last two novels, don't seem like they will ever be. I've told my wife, for example, that if you enjoy the characters and dialog, but don't care that the story doesn't really ever end (or even go much of anywhere, but I digress) that its worth reading. I certainly don't think I'd push them on people, though.

text: Home Culture Terrence J: Hollywood's Next Leading Man? The Sparkle actor talks Whitney's last role and his dream of becoming Tinseltown's newest big star. By: Joshua R. Weaver Posted: Aug. 19 2012 12:33 AM 0 Araya Diaz/Getty Images (The Root) -- His upcoming departure from BET's 106 & Park may mark the end of a seven-year era for Terrence J, but the burgeoning actor is far from slowing down. The host-turned-actor is ditching the popular countdown show for Hollywood -- and he's going in with a bang. Terrence J's latest role comes in Sparkle, where he worked alongside the late Whitney Houston and pop songstress Jordin Sparks. The Root sat down with Terrence J to discuss his leap onto the silver screen, his aspirations to become Hollywood's next leading man, flashbacks from his seven years at 106 and his favorite memories from the set of Sparkle, including his brief moment with the music legend herself before her untimely death. The Root: What was the experience like working on the set of Sparkle with such powerhouse stars? Terrence J: Sparkle was an amazing experience -- it was just a great cast. [While] the movie is pretty serious, it was a lot of fun working with Jordin and Derek [Luke]. [Whitney Houston] was beautiful, she was elegant. She was just a really strong presence. I think the media portrayed her in a way that I certainly didn't see on set. I only had one day on set with her. I remember I wanted to take a picture [with her] really bad, but I decided not to because I didn't want to come off like a groupie. Now, I'll never get that chance. I learned from that experience [to] never take anything for granted -- you never know when it'll be your last time to see somebody. She's somebody that I'll always hold near and dear to my heart. TR: Sparkle is just the latest film in which you've had a role. You've starred in Stomp the Yard, Burlesque and Think Like a Man, and you're finishing up work for Battle of the Year, which releases in 2013. Why Hollywood, and why now? TJ: If you look back 10 years ago, you had Jamie Foxx, Martin Lawrence, Will Smith; there were sitcoms that were being green-lit a lot more. Now, we're in a different place in Hollywood, where it's more reality-based; there's not as many shows that are [there] to catapult careers. 106 was a strategic step. [It] is one of the best jobs in the world because it's given me so many relationships and a fan base. Now, I'm just continuing to work hard on the craft and become a better actor. TR: Some say Hollywood is tough for young black actors. What are some obstacles you've faced in breaking onto the scene? Where do you see yourself in the next few years? TJ: Just coming from the hosting world, it's kind of hard for people to see you in a different light. When people look at you as a host, it takes them a minute to break away from that. That's the biggest challenge thus far. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

This morning, however, we look to the borrowed tomb. And, just as the women found it on that great resurrection day, will still find it open and empty! "Why is the tomb open?"you ask?

Posted: Feb 7, 2013 1:40 PM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Thousands of police officers throughout Southern California and Nevada hunted Thursday for a disgruntled former Los Angeles officer wanted for going on a deadly shooting rampage that he warned in an online posting would target those on the force who wrong him, authorities said.
Authorities issued a statewide "officer safety warning" and police were sent to protect people named in the posting that was believed to be written by the fired officer, Christopher Dorner, who has military training. Among those mentioned were members of the Los Angeles Police Department.
"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," said the manifesto.
Dorner has available multiple weapons including an assault rifle, said police Chief Charlie Beck, who urged Dorner to surrender.
"Nobody else needs to die," he said.
More than 40 protection details were assigned to possible targets of Dorner. Police spokesman Cmdr. Andrew Smith said he couldn't remember a larger manhunt by the department.
The search for Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements, began after he was linked to a weekend killing in which one of the victims was the daughter of a former police captain who had represented him during the disciplinary hearing. Authorities believe Dorner opened fire early Thursday on police in cities east of Los Angeles, killing an officer and wounding another.
Beck detailed Dorner's alleged crimes in an usual press conference in an underground room at police headquarters, where extra security was deployed. The chief said there had been a "night of extreme tragedy in the Los Angeles area" and that all measures were being implemented to ensure officer safety.
Police said Dorner, 33, implicated himself in the couple's killings with the multi-page "manifesto."
A Facebook post believed written by Dorner said he knew he would be vilified by the LAPD and the news media, but that "unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."
Los Angeles police believe the manifesto posted to Facebook was written by Dorner because there are details in it only he would know.
As police searched for him, the packed Los Angeles area was on edge. The nearly 10,000-member LAPD dispatched many of its officers to protect potential targets. The department also pulled officers from motorcycle duty, fearing they would make for easy targets.
In San Diego, where Dorner allegedly tied up an elderly man and unsuccessfully tried to steal his boat Wednesday night, Naval Base Point Loma was locked down Thursday. Navy spokesman Kevin Dixon said a Navy person reported someone matching Dorner's description in the area. Dozens of local police, sheriff's deputies and federal agents were at the base.
Nevada authorities also looked for Dorner because he owns a house nine miles from the Las Vegas Strip, according to authorities and court records.
Authorities said the U.S. Navy reservist may be driving a blue 2005 Nissan Titan pickup truck.
Los Angeles officers guarding a "target" named in the posting shot and wounded two women in suburban Torrance who were in a pickup but were not involved, authorities said. It's not clear if the target is a person or a location. Beck said one woman was in stable condition with two gunshot wounds and the other was being released after treatment.
"Tragically we believe this was a case of mistaken identity by the officers," Beck said.
The Daily Breeze in Torrance also reports (http://bit.ly/YWhBLi) that there was another police shooting nearby involving another pickup truck, but the driver wasn't hurt.
"We're asking our officers to be extraordinarily cautious just as we're asking the public to be extraordinarily cautious with this guy. He's already demonstrated he has a propensity for shooting innocent people," said Smith, the LAPD commander.
Dorner is wanted in the killings of Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence. They were found shot in their car at a parking structure at their condominium on Sunday night in Irvine, authorities said.
Quan, 28, was an assistant women's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton. Lawrence, 27, was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. There was disbelief at three college campuses, Fullerton, USC, and Concordia University, where the two met when they were both students and basketball players.
Dorner was with the department from 2005 until 2008, when he was fired for making false statements.
Quan's father, a former LAPD captain who became a lawyer in retirement, represented Dorner in front of the Board of Rights, a tribunal that ruled against Dorner at the time of his dismissal, LAPD Capt. William Hayes told The Associated Press Wednesday night.
Randal Quan retired in 2002. He later served as chief of police at Cal Poly Pomona before he started practicing law.
According to documents from a court of appeals hearing in October 2011, Dorner was fired from the LAPD after he made a complaint against his field training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans. Dorner said that in the course of an arrest, Evans kicked suspect Christopher Gettler, a schizophrenic with severe dementia.
Richard Gettler, the schizophrenic man's father, gave testimony that supported Dorner's claim. After his son was returned on July 28, 2007, Richard Gettler asked "if he had been in a fight because his face was puffy" and his son responded that he was kicked twice in the chest by a police officer.
Early Thursday, the first shooting occurred in Corona and involved two LAPD officers working a security detail, LAPD Sgt. Alex Baez. One officer was grazed.
Later, two officers on routine patrol in neighboring Riverside were ambushed at a stop light, said Riverside Lt. Guy Toussaint. One died and the other was in surgery. The officers shot were not actively looking for Dorner, Toussaint said.
Dorner's LAPD badge and an ID were found near San Diego's airport and were turned in to police at early Thursday, San Diego police Sgt. Ray Battrick said.

Engaging content marketing doesn't exist in a vacuum: that's where distribution comes into play.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Arguably, the only thing worse than bad content is great content no one sees. You've taken the time to discover and understand your brand's story and create a piece that articulates it in a clear, interesting and perhaps even fun way to your target audience.

The class attempts to define what leadership is and how each student-athlete can influence those around them in a positive way using their innate style and along with the skills they learn in the class
Entering his 18th season at the Capstone in 2014, Murphy has built a dominant program from scratch, starting as an assistant coach during the program's inaugural 1997 season before taking over as head coach in 1999
She is the first to sign in the early period for the Crimson Tide
The schedule features the full slate of games, including 26 home contests and two tournaments hosted at Rhoads Stadium

Murphy's Return to Iowa
In today's world of collegiate athletics, not many can claim to have been at a program since the beginning. Not many can say they were there at the origin of a program, having been there from the very inception to where it stands today. And certainly nobody can claim to have brought a program further, and in shorter time, than Crimson Tide head softball coach Patrick Murphy.
From a humble start to a national championship, Murphy has taken Alabama to the top of the college softball world. Beginning with his days as an assistant in the very first years of the Alabama softball program, Murphy has been the face of a team that has grown under his leadership to become one of the most consistently successful programs in the nation.
The accomplishments are there for everyone to see. 2012 national champions, eight Women's College World Series berths, four SEC titles and 15 straight NCAA Tournament bids are only a few of the team honors Murphy has brought to Tuscaloosa during his tenure.
The individual honors are equally as impressive. Tide players have earned All-America honors89 times under Murphy's watch. He has tutored 81 All-SEC performers and73 All-region honorees. His teams have been just as successful in the classroom, with12 Academic All-Americans and 152 SEC All-Academic selections to his credit.
Even more impressively, Murphy has led the program to a surge of popularity among Tide fans. Alabama has become a regular atop the nation's attendance standings, with an ever-growing group of loyal fans who fill the stands at Rhoads Stadium throughout the season. The 2008 campaign was a sellout, setting a new benchmark in season tickets sold with more than 1,200 allocated to loyal fans. The 2009 season, Alabama broke the single season attendance record formerly held by Fresno State. In 2010, a record 80,690 fans were part of the atmosphere in Tuscaloosa and 68,110 took in the Tide in 2011, with nearly half a million watching the Tide since the first pitch of the first game. Every coach in the nation would do anything to achieve those numbers which stand as a tribute to what Murphy and his teams have achieved and to the willingness of Tide fans to support a program that does things right, both on and off the field.
Murphy has turned his program into an absolute model of consistency, having guided Alabama to its first national title, 15 consecutive NCAA tournaments, and appearances in the 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 Women's College World Series.The 2012 season proved to be magical for the Tide capped by defeating Oklahoma in the championship series. Alabama finished 60-8 and claimed its third straight SEC regular-season championship. The Tide also won the SEC Tournament, becoming the first team ever to host the highly competitive tournament and come out champions, followed by the NFCA naming the Alabama coaches the National Coaching Staff of the Year.
In 2011, the Tide won the first two games in the WCWS for the first time in program history. Alabama finished 53-11, marking the seventh straight season Murphy has guided the Tide to 50 or more wins. Alabama secured its second straight SEC regular season title, finishing 19-6 in the league.
Individually, four Tide players earned 2011 NFCA All-America honors. Kelsi Dunne, on the strength of earning her second straight SEC Pitcher of the Year accolade, was named to the NFCA first team and was joined by Kayla Braud and freshman Jackie Traina. Whitney Larsen was named to the second team. Dunne, Braud and Larsen also garnered All-SEC honors and were joined by Amanda Locke. Kaila Hunt was named to the SEC All-Freshmen team while Dunne, Kendall Dawson and Jazlyn Lunceford were tabbed to the SEC All-Defensive Team. Once again, Murphy and his staff were named the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
Murphy eclipsed the 650-win mark in 2010 en route to leading the Crimson Tide to SEC regular season and tournament championships. The Alabama coaching staff was once again named the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff of the Year. Alabama finished with a 52-11 record and a 23-4 conference mark, en route to earning the number one overall seed in the NCAA tournament.
Individually, Charlotte Morgan was named the 2010 SEC Player of the Year, Dunne was awarded SEC Pitcher of the Year, Braud was tabbed the SEC Freshman of the Year and Murphy earned SEC Coach of the Year honors. Morgan, Dunne and Braud all earned NFCA All-America accolades.
Murphy and his staff were named the 2009 NFCA South Region Coaching Staff of the Year after leading Alabama to a 54-11 overall record. The Tide matched its longest run in the WCWS at the time by finishing with a 2-2 mark in Oklahoma City.
Alabama led the nation with three players earning 2009 Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. The first-team selections were Dunne and Morgan while Brittany Rogers also garnered second-team honors.
Since taking over prior to the 1999 season, Murphy has compiled a winning record in all 14 seasons. He has won 45 or more games in each of the past 12 years, with a program-best 66 victories in 2000 and 63 wins in 2005. Murphy also has won 20-plus games in conference play in 10 of his 12 seasons in the SEC. The 2008 campaign marked the third time he had posted 25 conference victories, matching the win totals from the 2006 and 2000 seasons.
Murphy's ability to build and maintain the impressive level of consistency places him among the nation's elite. He has a career mark of 715-210 in 14 seasons, including one year at Northwest Missouri State. His winning percentage of .773 ranks fifth among active NCAA Division I coaches who have coached at least five years at the Division I level. He has been just as successful in the always competitive SEC with a 310-91 (.773) record in league play.
It is his desire for perfection that has guided the Tide to the upper echelon of the softball world. Murphy's hard-nosed work ethic has led the program to as high as No. 1 in the national rankings, reached for the first time in program history during the 2007 season and continued through every ensuing season. The Tide has finished in the top 10 in the final polls each of the past eight campaigns. The 2010 squad earned the number one overall seed in the NCAA tournament after finishing the season on a 21-game winning streak, in which the Tide captured both the SEC regular-season and tournament titles.
Entering his 22nd season as a collegiate coach, Murphy officially acquired the title of Alabama's head coach on July 12, 1998. He spent the previous two years as an assistant coach on the Crimson Tide coaching staff. In his first season as the head coach, he took the team to its first NCAA Tournament with a 39-26 record. The Tide lost to No. 1 UCLA and No. 23 Missouri in the Los Angeles Regional. In his second season, Murphy took the program to the next step, leading Alabama to its first-ever Women's College World Series berth after the best regular season in school history. That 2000 team won a school-record 66 games (66-14) and 25 SEC games (25-5). They finished ranked in the top 10 for the first time in school history, after earning a 6-4 victory over DePaul for the school's first win in the WCWS.
Alabama continued its success in 2001 when it hosted the NCAA Regional for the first time. The Tide ended the season ranked No. 10 with a 50-11 record and 24-6 SEC mark. In 2002, they went 46-21 (22-8 SEC) and again advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Murphy took the Tide back to the Women's College World Series in 2003. After winning his first SEC Championship as a head coach, the team swept the NCAA Regional to advance to the WCWS where they lost two close games, 3-2, to No. 1 Arizona and 6-3 (9) to No. 4 Oklahoma. Alabama finished ranked No. 7 with a 49-21 record (22-8 SEC).
The 2004 team posted a 45-20 mark but had to travel to No. 4 UCLA for the NCAA Regional and lost twice to the Bruins. However, the next season they were back at the Women's College World Series. The 2005 squad tallied the second most wins in school history with a 63-15 record and 23-7 SEC ledger. They won the school's third SEC Tournament championship with a 2-0 victory over Georgia and swept the NCAA Regional to earn the right to travel to College Station for a two-game sweep over No. 5 Texas A&M in the new Super Regional. In the WCWS, they earned a 12-inning, 2-1, victory over DePaul before they were eliminated with a 4-0 loss to Tennessee.
One could almost say Murphy was born to be around the game of baseball. In the third grade, the Fayette, Iowa, native put on his first baseball glove and took to the little league fields. Five years later, fresh out of the eighth grade, he made Fayette High School's varsity baseball squad and played the next five years for five different coaches.
"I always knew I wanted to be a coach," Murphy says. "My high school was such a small school that I got to play varsity baseball in eighth grade. Every year it was something different I learned, either good or bad, from each coach. My senior year, I tried to put everything together I had learned from all the different coaches and came up with a good collaborative plan."
After hanging up his spikes on his prep career, Murphy made the trip to the campus of the University of Northern Iowa where he spent the next four years. Murphy took his first job doing what he always had wanted to do, but, on a smaller scale, when he became a little league head coach. Three years after taking that job, he graduated from Northern Iowa with a bachelor's degree in history education.
Even with his youngest players not being much younger than himself, Murphy concedes that his first job as a head coach was where he learned the most about himself and the game.
"Those kids were baseball nuts," he says. "They played baseball on the town tennis court because that was the only place in town that had lights. The lights would go off automatically at midnight, so that is when they knew they had to go home. "They taught me so many things about the game of baseball. They played because they loved it so much."
It took only two years for Murphy to become a success as a head coach. After leading the Sumner High School boys to a 22-3 record in his first year as head coach, he led the Aces to the state championship game the next season. Following a short stay at Sumner, Murphy continued his education as a graduate student at Southwestern Louisiana (now known as Louisiana-Lafayette). While at USL, he broke into the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant softball coach while finishing his master's degree in communications in 1992.
"The head coach at USL knew I had coached baseball in Iowa and she told me about the job," Murphy remembers. "It only paid six thousand dollars, but I was in grad school there and she asked me if I wanted another duty. That's where it all started and I just got hooked."
Prospering with the Ragin' Cajuns through a five-year record (1990-94) of 239-46, including a trip to the 1993 Women's College World Series on the shoulders of former player and current Alabama associate head coach Alyson Habetz, Murphy moonlighted as head coach of the Independence Iowa high school baseball team from 1992-95. Due to the high recognition of his duties as an assistant coach at USL, along with the solid success of his duties as a high school coach, Murphy was hired as interim head coach at Northwest Missouri State in 1995. Although he was officially hired only three weeks before spring practice in 1995, Murphy led the Bearcats to a 28-20 record.
Murphy has proven himself to be a leader capable of recruiting and developing talented players who perform on the field and in the classroom. Combining that with the lure of athletic tradition at Alabama and the nation's finest facilities, the Tide softball team remains among the best in the nation.
Murphy's Career Record
After 13 seasons as head coach, Patrick Murphy has achieved unbelievable success:
Seven College World Series appearances (2011, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2003 and 2000) 13-straight NCAA Tournament appearances (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999) Three SEC Championship (2011, 2010, 2006) Three SEC Tournament Championships (2010, 2005, 2003) Two-time SEC Coach of Year (2010, 2006) Most wins in school history (684) Best winning percentage in school history (.783) Most wins in a season in school history (66) Most wins in the country-66 (2000) Consecutive Top-10 ranking (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2001, 2000) Seven-time South Region Coaching Staff of the Year (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2003 and 2000) 35 NFCA All-Americans 38 Easton All-Americans 63 All-South Region Selections 70 All-SEC Selections Most SEC wins in a season in UA history (25) Nine Academic All-Americans 138 Academic All-SEC Selections Nine NCAA Regional All-Tournament team selections Six World Series All-Tournament team selections 53 SEC Player of the Week selections Youngest coach in SEC history to reach 100 wins Hitting coach for Canadian National Team in 2004 Olympics 2009 and 2010 Team USA Assistant Coach Current NFCA President

Recipe by MakeItHealthy
"These sugar cookies are amazing but I wanted to try to cut some calories so I replaced some of the sugar with a sugar-like sweetener. They still taste great and now they are pretty guilt free. If you decide to ice them, I would keep it light -- maybe some cute dots!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
1/3 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
I just made these right now. I used only sucralose instead of sugar for the whole amount as I did not have any sugar on hand. I also used margarine instead of butter. These were very tasty. I think I rolled them too thick so they took about 10 minutes to bake. These are not too sweet so they were perfect for icing and decorating on. The cookies held up their shape really well.
I'm a huge fan of the original version of these cookies. These didn't hold their shapes quite as well, but still taste wonderful. Stick to simple shapes for this version.

Hello, forks, I am currently building a small Beowulf cluster and using Torque manager to schedule batch jobs. Now I have a problems with Torque command 'qstat'. as the manual said, all users' jobs can be seen when the command is issued. But for my case, I only see the my own jobs when i login with a regular user but i can see it when login with a root user ( before check the jobs, I remotely login with other regular users to run some jobs with 'qsub -l nodes=1 ./run.sh') I guess the reason is ssh and permission configuration. the root can access any user in any machine without password, whereas the regular user can not access the information of other users. Does anyone has similar experience or have the solution? Thanks for your help in advance. by the way, my cluster is Fedora Core 6 based, and good when running C program with MPI. Firewall is enabled and ssh, NFS and NIS is allowed.

Prop Cian Healy is expected to miss the start of the 2014 RBS 6 Nations after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle on Wednesday.
The club embarked on this project to upgrade the facilities in the club for future generation of Cork Constitution FC members aligned to their community engagement and family attraction policies.
The clubhouse will cater for the needs of the players, members, spectators and guests in many different ways and the structure and layout is to facilitate the extended reach Cork Con have into the community with more than just rugby.
The clubhouse itself is a state of the art fit for purpose facility with two bars and a large hall, with an extended kitchen that will cater for many social occasions in the future.
Although built by an external developer, the project management and logistical elements were all executed by club members adding their own specialist skills to the project.
In addition 125 members contributed 1000 euro to the development fund and there are still members coming forward to contribute to ensure the club can fund this facility in the most cost effective way.
The development will also transform the dressing rooms into more spacious changing facilities for our underage, juvenile, male and female (Tag) players and will also include an up to date weights room as part of the project.
It is envisaged the new buildings will greatly enhance the historic Temple Hill grounds and that our hugely improved facilities and grounds will ensure that we can provide for the needs of both present and future members.
To mark the opening season of the new facility, Cork Constitution FC will host the annual Ulster Bank Club International between the Ireland Club XV and England Counties.
The Ireland Club XV beat their Scottish counterparts last season to capture the Dalriada Cup, but they lost to the Counties side 34-16 at Preston Grasshoppers RFC in March.

Gospel Art Picture Kit
The first pioneers entered the valley of the Great Salt Lake in the summer of 1847. Before winter came, more than 2,000 Saints were in the valley. That was many more than originally planned and probably more than the 1847–48 harvest could feed. The first winter was mild, and the pioneers hoped the harvest would be good, even though it would probably be small. More pioneers were coming, and they would need food.
In 1848, as the grain began to ripen, thousands of crickets came down from the foothills into the fields. For three weeks they ate the precious crops. The people tried to fight them off with brooms, shovels, ropes, water, and even fire, but there were just too many crickets.
President John Smith of the Salt Lake Stake called a special fast day, and the people all fasted and prayed and then continued to fight the crickets. They knew God would have to help them if they were to save the harvest. Their prayers were answered on a clear afternoon when seagulls began to appear in the sky. John R. Young described the event:
"There must have been thousands of them. Their coming was like a great cloud; and when they passed between us and the sun, a shadow covered the field. …
"At first we thought that they, also, were after the wheat and this thought added to our terror; but we soon discovered that they devoured only the crickets" (Memoirs of John R. Young, as quoted in William E. Berrett, The Restored Church [1961], 285; see also 283–84).
The seagulls came from their nesting areas at the Great Salt Lake. They would eat the crickets until they were full, fly to the nearest stream, take a few sips of water, spit out what they had eaten, and then come back to eat more. After about three weeks the crickets were all gone and the crops were safe.
In 1897, after Utah became a state, the people showed their thankfulness to the Lord for the "miracle of the seagulls" by making the seagull the state bird and building a monument to them. The Seagull Monument stands on Temple Square in Salt Lake City.
In 1848, the year after the first Latter-day Saint pioneers entered the valley of the Great Salt Lake, it was hoped that the harvest would be good. The people who had arrived and the many more who would be coming would all need food. Unfortunately, crickets began eating the crops, and the pioneers could not stop them. The pioneers fasted and prayed that the harvest would be saved. Seagulls came from the Great Salt Lake, ate the crickets, spit them out in nearby streams, and returned for more. After about three weeks, the crickets were gone and the crops were saved.

How did Yahoo beat Google in Website rankings in July

Hey, we aren't the only ones who are surprisde. But, according to the comScore Media Metrix service, Yahoo had 3 million more unique visitors in July than Google. Apparently this vindicates Marissa Mayer, former Googler and presently CEO of Yahoo. And, frankly, it is mystifying. I mean, for the all the crap Yahoo has gotten these last few years and the notion that Mayer was a little bit of a dilettente, you can't argue with the numbers.

Smart Electric may now be a smarter choice than a Telsa S

I use the word "may" advisedly, because like any answer to a problem it depends a great deal on what you want to do with the cars. But at an estimated $139 a month lease, the Smart Electric is far cheaper than the Tesla S to own, easier to park (critical to a commuter car). Plus, you can better afford another car to drive distance, also critical if you own any electric.

Moog Micromoog
How cute! It's a tiny Moog. But don't underestimate it. Sure, it's just a single-oscillator mono-synth, designed as a budget performance Moog. But it's an inexpensive alternative to the Minimoog. In fact, it is often used as just a stand-alone filter processor since it has a filter that is virtually identical to the one found in the Minimoog, and it accepts external sounds for processing through itself (all at a fraction of the price for a Mini)! It also employs a ribbon controller (which was a cool new feature) for pitch bending. Notice that there are still plenty of knobs to give you access to the shape of your sounds! Unfortunately the construction feels kind of cheap.
The Micromoog has been used by Apollo 440, Kraftwerk, Richard Barbieri, Chik Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Edgar, and Add N To (X).

When Fan-dom Becomes Fan-dumb
Wednesday, December 4th, 2013There has been much debate regarding which pair of teams make up the most intense rivalry in the land. Since I was employed by nine institutions, I've seen my share of intense rivalries. USC-UCLA is one that comes to mind. As far as one you might not be as familiar with, one year when I was at Western Carolina, one of our students sneaked into Appalachian State's basketball arena and broke off one of the arms of the statue of their Mountaineer (ASU's mascot). Undoubtedly, many of you can "rival" (or exceed) that story but, for the ultimate in rivalries, there are none, repeat, none that are more intense than Auburn-Alabama (Auburn gets mentioned first because they won most recently.
While the Western Carolina move could have been considered slick, another action, taken by a someone who thought she was just another ardent Alabama fan, was wrong. Dead wrong. We all know that "fan" is short for "fanatic" but, independent of the contraction, there's absolutely no explanation or justification for the actions of 28-year-old Adrian Laroze Briskey. Arguably (now), the most hot-blooded Alabama fan, Briskey was pushed to over the edge after hearing a group of women joking immediately following the Alabama-Auburn football game. One of them, Michelle Shepherd, actually was a Miami Heat fan and, apparently, had said that 'Bama's loss wasn't as bad as the Miami Heat losing.
Naturally, alcohol played a part in Briskey's actions but it defies credulity that someone a mere 28 years old could be that passionate about anything! Both Briskey and Shepherd were Crimson Tide fans, they were invited to the same party, although the police report says they didn't know each other. After the game, they got into an argument and one shot the other. It was a senseless killing, leaving three young children without a mother. Maybe Briskey was more closely connected to the program, i.e. the mother of player or wife of a coach, it would be understandable to take a game more seriously than a fan. But a fan?
Stan Van Gundy was once asked how long it would take him to get over losing in the NBA finals and he said:
"I'll let you know."
Too bad Adrian Briskey couldn't get over Alabama's.
