Snowden was a Hawaii-based computer network administrator for Booz Allen Hamilton, an NSA contractor. Alexander said Snowden "betrayed the trust and confidence we had in him" and is "not acting, in my opinion, with noble intent."
Greenwald said Snowden has been extremely judicious about what he has revealed.
"I know that he has in his possession thousands of documents which if published would impose crippling damage on the United States' surveillance capabilities and systems around the world. He has never done any of that," Greenwald told CNN.
An online petition calling on the White House to pardon Snowden passed the key threshold of 100,000 signatures over the weekend and had more than 110,000 early Monday.
The petition describes Snowden as "a national hero."
The White House says it will respond to any petition on its site that gathers more than 100,000 signatures in 30 days.

Amidst the hype, I made my way down to Thee Parkside in San Francisco to catch a night full of indie/electro/pop. As Young Empires got onstage, they started off with "White Doves." The beat had been laid down before, leading into Vlahovich's powerful vocals. As he sang, the audio was blown out. That led to a chance for the band to improv. They soon announced that due to technical difficulties, the song would now be the set closer. Up next was "Enter Through The Sun." This included strong synths that quickly had the crowd moving on the dance floor. Vlahovich passionately repeated the lyrics "we put this house on fire" as he energetically moved around his synth.
As promised, they gave "White Doves" another shot to out their set. To everyone's pleasure, this time around didn't include any sound issues. Hearing this song live was great as the soft beat guided us through the entrancing vocals, which carried throughout the song. To set the dance-centric crowd off one last time they played "Against the Wall." This song has an infectious opening bass line and is flowing with catchy lyrics and synth. Members from opening band Humans (Robbie Slade and Peter Ricq) got onstage to jump around as they drummed on blocks and snare drums. Everyone in attendance was grooving as Young Empires ended the set on a high note.
The audio issues returned throughout the set, noticeably upsetting the band, but this did not take away the energy carried by Vlahovich and the rest of the band. It was a surprise to see a band like Young Empires playing a venue that I labeled as one that primarily featured DIY punk bands. I'm expecting them to soon be playing alongside the likes of elite indie-electro rockers Cut Copy or Friendly Fires. Young Empires are currently in the final leg of an North American tour in support of their debut EP Wake All My Youth. Stay connected with Young Empires on Facebook and Twitter.

Boboli Gardens
One of the most compelling features in Boboli Gardens is the manner in which Sargent used strokes of white impasto to depict water spilling from the fountains. The watercolor is opaquely painted, with zinc white mixed into most of the colors. Although it is difficult to see, there is extensive graphite underdrawing in this work. The underdrawing for the arm and back of the figure on the right fountain does not correspond to that of the final painting.

A guitar classic that proves less is more.
The Fender '50s Esquire Electric Guitar is the electric guitar that started it all. Originally released in 1950, it was Leo Fender's first marketed design. The single-pickup precursor to the Telecaster, the Esquire features an ash body, maple neck, vintage-style bridge with steel saddles, volume, tone, and a 3-way quick tone-change switch.
3-way switching
The 3-way toggle switch gives you 3 preset tones. In the bridge position the pickup is only connected to the volume control (the tone control is disconnected). This minimal circuitry provides more top-end sparkle than a Telecaster. In the middle position the standard tone control circuit is activated and it functions just like any other tone control. In the neck position the tone control is disengaged, but a tone-shaping capacitor is added that rolls off a lot of the top end and some of the bottom. This setting produces darker tone along with slightly less volume.
Includes a gig bag.
Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.
The Esquire returns in all its glory. You better not wait—call and get yours today!

G.Skill Breaks World Overclocking Record and Achieves Fastest Super Pi 32M Record For 1155 Intel Platform
Subject: Memory | June 4, 2011 - 08:26 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: record, ram, G.Skill, computex, benchmark
G.Skill brought their "A game" to this year's Computex 2011 show by shattering the current super Pi 32M record on the first day of the show. With the help of famous overclockers Shamino, Fredyama, and Young Pro, the team was able to achieve a time of 5min 33.172 seconds. Using the company's DDR3 2400MHz CL8 4 (2x2GB) memory kit, the team achieved the record overclock using an Intel 2600K processor at 6.34Ghz and memory clocked at 2340MHz with a CAS Latency of 6-9-6-25 1T. This was all run on an Asus ROG maximum IV Extreme motherboard.
Considering that the memory still had some headroom before reaching even stock clocks, G.Skill is confident that they will break even their record, saying that "this is just the beginning, we aim to achieve more records before the close of Computex 2011."
The super Pi 32M program is often used as both a benchmarking and stress test application as it heavily stresses both the CPU, memory controller, and RAM by calculating Pi out to 32 million digits. As a single threaded program, it is heavily dependent on CPU clock speed-which is why the G.Skill team focused on low RAM timings as well as getting the CPU clocks up as high as possible in order to grab the world record.

G.Skill Guarantees Compatibility of Dual Channel RipjawsX and Sniper Series DDR3 RAM Kits With Z68 Motherboards
Subject: Memory | May 27, 2011 - 11:29 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ram, G.Skill, ddr3
G.Skill recently announced that it has finished testing its RipjawsX and Sniper series DDR3 memory kits on Intel's latest Z68 motherboards. The RAM manufacturer stated that it has "worked closely with all the major motherboard manufacturers to ensure the best compatibility between all Z68 motherboards available in the market and G.Skill's current memory product line."
The testing in question included memory kits from 1333 MHz CL9 DIMMS to their highest clocked 2200 Mhz 16GB set using Hyper PI 0.98b and MemTest.
It's nice to see that G.Skill is willing to support their current product lineup as new motherboard tech is released. You can read more about warranty and product information here.
Corsair Announces High Performance 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit Capable of 2400 MHz
Subject: Memory | May 26, 2011 - 06:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ram, ddr3, corsair
Corsair, a popular PC component manufacturer founded in 1994, today announced the production of a new DDR3 memory kit for their Dominator lineup. The new 2x4GB memory kit is capable of running at 2400 Mhz at a voltage of 1.65V.
Corsair states that the 2400 Mhz kits are the result of a four stage testing process that fewer than one in every 20 memory chips pass. The Director of Memory Products at Corsair, Giovannie Sena stated that "The purpose of these kits is to help overclockers explore the limits of memory performance." As the product of Corsair's testing, they are eager to see what enthusiasts are able to get out of them.
Further, the new 8GB memory kit is capable of CAS latency of 9-11-10-30-1T. Each DIMM is fitted with Corsair's DHX+ heat sink with removable fins, and the kit includes their AirFlow 2 GTL Cooling Fan to keep the DIMMS cool. Dubbed the Dominator GTX 8 GB 2400 MHz Kit, can be purchased today from Corsair for $499 USD.
It's a rhyming case mod and RAM cooler, check out the Corsair AirFlow Pro

Tagged: ram, corsair, airflow
If you didn't pick up one of the RAM kits that comes with an active cooler and are looking to not only monitor the temperature of your DIMMs but also get a light show going inside your case then Corsair has a treat for you. The $54 Corsair AirFlow Pro can do both and you can see it for yourself at Techgage.
"Have a desire to add a bit of 'bling' to your PC, but fear being ridiculed for it? Well, there's no better excuse for bling than with Corsair's AirFlow Pro add-on for the company's AirFlow 2 memory cooler. In addition to offering a hypnotizing light-show, the AirFlow Pro can also keep you informed on your memory's usage and temperatures."

05-21-2012, 10:20 AM #4so im taking it no one tried it yet? i think its pretty new
05-21-2012, 11:21 AM #5Aftermarket AFM system.
Depending on the type driver he is this product could be great or a pain in the tail.
But before jumping out and buying one a few figures should be crunched.
The advertisement is for "as much as 22% fuel savings"
What would 22% savings amount to on the vehicle?
How much does that equate to in $$?
How long will this product have to be used to pay itself off?
In the end it may not be worth the time, expense, and effort.
Not to be a jerk here but a Tahoe is not ever gonna get good mileage, if you want good mileage sell the Tahoe and buy something smaller with less cylinders to feed, some things are just a fact and cant be changed.
He might be able to improve his mileage on the Tahoe with a few cheaper methods.
Check tire pressures, check tire sizes.
Next oil change go to synthetics for engine and trans.
Drive with more care, i.e. easy on the starts, coast to stops etc., hyper mileage tecniques.

05-21-2012, 11:28 AM #7We tried the classics, intake, programmer, syn oil. we only saw and average of a .4 increase in mpg. Im fine with my mpg in the silverado, but I would rather not have him waste money on the tahoe.
05-27-2012, 07:11 PM #8It appears to be the same thing as the AFM on my 5.3 that is a total waste of money, in my opinion. It never seems to work when it should be and mileage on my 2010 is lower than my 86 suburban that was a 4bbl carb.
To me it all seems to be smoke and mirrors until someone can actually prove day to day results. Theory is great but I here more complaints about the 5.3 with AFM2010 Chevy Silverado Z71 ext cab.4x4

In a science-journalism, narrative style, Fringe explores the lives of queer people who exist on the edges of the gay community.
My name is Gayle Pitman, and I am a psychology and women's studies professor at Sacramento City College. I am also the author of the award-winning book Backdrop: The Politics and Personalities behind Sexual Orientation Research. My next book project is titled Fringe: On the Edges of the Mainstream Gay Community. In this book, I plan to explore the experiences of queer people who exist on the edges of the LGBTQ community - people who are bi, poly, kinky, HIV+, non-white, disabled, poor, intersex, trans, genderqueer, old, or otherwise on the fringes of the gay community. Fringe will be written in a science-journalism, narrative voice, incorporating interviews with people who are active in these communities - rap and hip-hop star Qui510, intersex activist Hida Viloria, trans writer and activist Max Wolf Valerio, and lesbian activist Phyllis Lyon, to name a few. Intended for a general audience interested in LGBTQ issues, Fringe would be the first book of its kind to weave together the various experiences of people in queer edge communities.
Three separate areas need to be funded in order to make Fringe a reality:
1. Writing and editing costs, including travel expenses for interviews;
2. Publishing costs, such as copyediting, indexing, and production costs; and
3. Marketing expenses, including review copies and advertising.
With your help, Fringe will give voice to the many diverse groups within the LGBTQ community. Whether it's $5 or $500, every donation will be a step closer to making Fringe a reality.
Thank you for learning more about my campaign, and be a part of the fringe!
When I was writing my first book, BACKDROP: THE POLITICS AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SEXUAL ORIENTATION RESEARCH, I had originally set out to provide an overview of the major research findings pertaining to the LGBTQ community, and to paint a picture of the social, cultural, and political landscape behind the research studies. Although I had known at some level how limited this body of research is, it seemed to me that so many of these studies try to prove that LGBTQ people are just as "normal" (or "normative") as heterosexual people. However, anything that suggested any "non-normativity" within the LGBTQ community seemed to get buried, or hotly criticized, or invalidated in some other way. I began to question the goal of proving that LGBTQ people are just like straight people, and the seeds of FRINGE were planted.
On a much more basic level, as I was researching BACKDROP I became more and more disturbed by the fact that so much of the research focused solely on young White gay men - and those research findings were then generalized to the entire community. To me, this is deeply problematic. I see FRINGE as a way to give voice to these "edge communities" that don't necessarily get airtime in the research - or in the mainstream culture.
Read OUTLIERS (or anything, really) by Malcolm Gladwell. Or MOONWALKING WITH EINSTEIN by Joshua Foer. Or THE SECRET LIFE OF THE GROWN-UP BRAIN by Barbara Strauch. Although none of these are about LGBTQ issues, they are written in an accessible style that is relevant and relatable. This is the writing style I most enjoy reading, and I have the most fun writing in a style that isn't heady and overly academic.
Most mainstream publishing houses aren't willing to take a risk on an edgy, controversial book idea like FRINGE. Moreover, many of the smaller presses, including the lesbian and gay alternative presses, have folded or become absorbed as an imprint in one of the larger houses. Therefore, I made the decision to publish FRINGE with Active Voice Press, my own indie publisher. Without the benefit of an advance, an alternative source of start-up funds is necessary in order to make FRINGE a reality.
Absolutely. My project description lists three major funding areas:
1. Writing and editing costs. The biggest expense here involves the interviews. Because I believe that in-person interviews provide a much richer narrative than phone interviews or e-mail responses, travel costs are involved in conducting these interviews. Moreover, I've already accumulated over 20 hours of interview footage which needs to be transcribed, and hiring a transcription service would speed up the writing and production timeline. Once the manuscript is completed, a professional copyeditor will need to be hired to ensure that the final product is clean, polished, and accurate.
2. Publishing costs. Having a book designer in-house cuts down significantly on the publishing costs. However, costs associated with ISBNs, LCCNs, e-book conversion, and the like add up quickly.
3. Marketing costs. This crowdfunding campaign isn't specifically focused on raising marketing funds - it's more focused on making sure that FRINGE becomes a reality. However, some marketing funds need to be set aside to ensure that FRINGE will be a commercial success. While many successful marketing strategies are relatively inexpensive, those costs also add up. These include web hosting, review copies, shipping costs to reviewers, and so forth.
Unfortunately, no. Kickstarter uses an all-or-nothing funding model, which means this: If you meet or exceed your funding goal, your backers will be charged and those funds will go towards your project. If, on the other hand, you don't meet that goal, nobody gets charged. I like this model for a couple of reasons. First, it provides a litmus test on the appeal of the project; and second, it ensures that backers will only fund projects that are well-supported and of interest to people, and that they won't get stuck funding projects that haven't generated that interest and aren't well-supported.
Remember, you can contribute as little as $1, and rewards start at $10. Every little bit helps!
If you don't have even $1 to contribute, there are lots of ways you can support FRINGE:
-You can post the link to my Kickstarter campaign on your social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and so forth.
-You can distribute postcards at your local LGBT center, organizations, Pride events - wherever you think you'd find people who would be interested in this project. E-mail me at http://mailto:email@example.com with your mailing address, and I'll send you a batch of postcards to distribute.
-If you are a blogger, you can write a short post about this project. I'd be happy to do an interview or to guest blog about the project. E-mail me at http://mailto:email@example.com if you're interested.
-If you can only contribute a small amount, see if you can get each of your friends to match the amount you donated. This is crowdfunding in action!
-If you are a college student, and your campus has an LGBT organization, announce this project to your group. Hold a fundraiser and make a collective donation.
Remember, EVERY SINGLE PERSON who makes a contribution gets us closer to our goal. If 700 people donate $5, or 350 people donate $10, we'll get there!

Aiguy's Computer
by BilboOne of our recent, frequent participants here at Telicthoughts — aiguy — had what I consider to be a fascinating, intriguing comment here:
http://telicthoughts.com/are-dem-bunny-prints/#comment-193453, which I quote below:
Indeed – I can learn!
And so can my computer. Using genetic and other machine learning algorithms, it has learned to design complex machines that I didn't even understand until I saw them work. Not only that, but it decides all by itself what it is that it wants to design!
It really is so counter-intuitive to see how simple laws and a deterministic machine operating according to blind, natural processes gives rise to amazingly intelligent results without any intervention from me. I suppose it could be said to demonstrate "foresight" (it produces designs all at once without visible intermediate trial-and-error), but of course everything it does really is completely determined by its innate structure and its interactions with its environment. I have no reason to think it is aware of anything, so if it has beliefs and desires it doesn't know it. I really don't think it knows what it is doing – or why.
Yup, a completely unconscious, blind, unaware, deterministic physical mechanism operating according to nothing but fixed law and chance, incapable of doing anything but what it does, and there it is grinding out artifacts of complex form and function. Intelligence is so cool!
I thought this was be a good discussion topic. First, a few questions for aiguy:
1. I know next to nothing about computers. Could you explain for a layman how your computer goes about deciding what to design and how to design it?
2. This computer, you say, operates according "to nothing but fixed law and chance." The "genetic and other machine learning algorithms" that it uses — did it stumble upon them by fixed law and chance? Or were they programmed into it? And if they were programmed into it, was it by chance, or were they programmed by someone making an intelligent decision?
3. And these "genetic and other machine learning algorithms" — were they produced by chance, or were they intelligently designed?
I agree with you that your computer is intelligent, by the way. And I think your other comment,
This is why I say ID folks should be in the habit of qualifying what they think the evidence actually supports, rather than leaving it up to each reader's intuitive conception of mind.
is a very good one. If ID is true, it could be that the designer is a computer.

Unbelievable ... she did it again!
Friday, June 8, 2012
by Fred Chuchel, Dresden
127,000 copies were sold last week, the same result as the previous week and the lowest weekly sales since its release 16 month ago. But that was enough to catapult Adele's '21' back to the summit
again. The album reigns now for the 41st nonconsecutive week and reaches 22 million sales in total. The year-to-date sales of '21' are now at 6,71 million ... four times more than the nearest competitor, Lana Del Rey's 'Born To Die', sold so far (1,65 million). Last week's no.1 album, John Mayer's 'Born And Raised', slides at no.2 after a 61% sales decline to 111,000 copies. One Direction's 'Up All Night' climbs three slots to no.3, driven by a 24% sales boost to 88,000 copies. By the way, the album is now at no.3 on the year-to-date list with total sales of 1,61 million. This week's highest debut comes from South Korean actor, singer and model Jang Keun Suk. His second Japanese release, 'Just Crazy', bows at no.4 globally with 88,000 copies. 'Just Crazy' leads 12 new-entries on the current tally. Second highest is 'Valtari', the sixth album release of the fantastic Islandic band Sigur Rós, which comes in at no.5 with 67,000 sales. Singer-songwriter and pianist Regina Spektor, born in Russia, starts at no.6 with her third effort 'What We Saw From The Cheap Seats' and 61,000 sales. Grammy-nominated jazz-singer Melody Gardot follows close behind with 'The Absence' and sold 60,000 units. Outside the top 10 debuting Hideaki Tokunaga's 'Vocalist Vintage' at no.12 with 41,000 sales, Gary Barlo & The Commonwealth Band's 'Sing' at no.13 with 40,000 sales, Yannick Noah's 'Hommage' at no.15 with 39,000 sales, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros' 'Here' at no.17 with 38,000 sales, Scissor Sisters' 'Magic Hour' at no.19 with 36,000 sales, Paloma Faith's 'Fall To Grace' at no.21 with 35,000 sales, Yusuke's 'Ano...Omatsuridesukedo' at no.31 with 26,000 sales and finally Rumer's 'Boys Don't Cry' at no.37 with 24,000 sales.

After a recent performance at Joe's Pub in New York City, last year's queer holiday hit We Three Lizas is back with a revamped book and expanded score. Box maker Conrad Ticklebottom's life has hit a stumbling block. At one time, his purple box sparked an entire movement in art and design, but now he's been forgotten and teetering on ruin. Just in the nick of time, the holidays bring three magical figures to his door -- a trio of Liza Minnellis -- to escort him on a fabulous journey through what-was, what-could-be and what-the-f*?!, redeeming his lost promise and reinventing a brand-new Conrad Ticklebottom.

Design and business have traditionally made uneasy bedfellows, with practitioners of each eyeing each other suspiciously. But in recent years, some companies have demonstrated huge success by adopting a design-savvy approach. That's led to a resurgence of interest in design as business strategy. There remains little agreement on the best policies, structures, or principles for its smart adoption and execution, however.
This panel, a continuation of swissnex San Francisco's series on innovation, brings together those working on every side of the equation, from individuals implementing design within large corporations, to consultants aiming to bring an objective eye to their clients' problems, to educators working to shape the future discussion.
With moderator Helen Walters, editor of innovation and design at Bloomberg/BusinessWeek; Helmut Traitler, V.P. of Innovation Partnerships at NESTEC Ltd., in Vevey, Switzerland; Udaya Patnaik, Jump founder and principal; Nathan Shedroff, chair of the MBA in Design Strategy at California College of the Arts; and Mary Jo Cook, Vice President of Discovery and Design for Clorox.

A. I had not really thought of it as cliché, but in my classes I do teach what I call the 'rules of three' for both good and bad behaviors.
Three Mistakes In A Row. A dog gets bullheaded when he is trained. He wants to be in charge thus obedience is not always his favorite thing. And, while I tell my clients that you should always be one correction more stubborn than your dog, if your dog is not responding, something is wrong. If he makes the same stubborn mistake three times in a row, you need to toughen up a little.
Do not beg him to obey, correct him better. He is essentially telling you, "I am not convinced." So convince him. Then praise when he does it.Three Count Obedience. Most dog owners give repeated commands and wait too long for a response. They fear correcting will hurt his feelings. (I'm sure many children watch this and wish their parents felt that way about their discipline.) Watch a mother dog correct her pups. There is no delay, and there is no remorse. Corrections are quick, tough, and the pup is always expected to comply immediately or there will be a tougher correction. When you give a command, silently count to three. If your dog is not in position by three - and on the way to position doesn't count - then correct him. Praise him if he responds, count to three again then correct again if he does not.
Three Times In A Row. Your dog probably understands the meaning of a command sooner than he consistently obeys it. The two rules listed above will help with that. Efficient corrections teach him to respond immediately, and lavished praise for obedience gets consistency. So, how do you know if you are dealing with a lack of understanding or a head full of stubborn? Use another rule of three. When you teach your dog something new, you are looking for three times in a row. He may do it once and then not get it right again the rest of the day. He may do it every third or fourth time you give the command. That indicates he is learning but not accomplished. When a dog does a command three times in a row without mistake, I know he comprehends. Then I should begin expecting three count responses from him.
So, there we have the good side of the "rules of three." Next week we will look at the dangerous, warning side. Have a good week and here's to hoping that with your dog only good things come in threes.

Product 245/472
The air howled around him as he rode the northern wind through the crystal clear night sky. The holidays were approaching, and he was becoming more and more bitter with each passing day.
Jack dove toward the Earth as the twinkling city lights below him rivaled the stars and drew his curiosity. Swirling past window after window, he watched families prepare for Christmas. He imagined sitting by the fire, sipping hot chocolate and reading holiday stories with them, but his presence quickly created intricate frost patterns that raced across the glass panes and obscured his view.
His isolation gnawed at him. During this time of year, as the days grew shorter and the nights longer, he had nothing but the endless cold and silenceonly the occasional howling winds to keep him company.
Shooting towards the twinkling lights of the heavens, he wished for the same thing he did every Christmas: someone to spend it with. A shooting star streaked across the sky and over the horizon, drawing his attention back to the land below.
He watched as a car spun on ice like a childs Hanukkah dreidel. Hed witnessed such accidents on many occasions, especially during the long winter months, but this time something was different. An unseen force pulled him toward the car as it came to a violent stop at the base of a clump of trees. The branches of the towering pines practically covered the small sedan, and all that was visible were the glowing red tail lights.
Creeping slowly on the breeze, he approached the trees and inspected the damage. The front of the vehicle was crumpled from the impact, but the metal cage of the car looked to be mostly intact. He swept aside the undergrowth and gazed into the car window. All he could see were auburn curls sprawled against the white airbag. He watched as the womans head rolled toward the glass and dark eyes blinked at him, seeming to meet his invisible ones. A shot of warmth passed through him, like shed peered right into his soul, before they closed again in unconsciousness.
Had she really seen him?

What Is Bachelor 2013 Winner Catherine Giudici's Ethnicity?
If you watched any of Sean Lowe's The Bachelor Season 17, you probably noticed that the mix of women was far more ethnically diverse than ever before. ABC had gotten flak in the past for featuring pretty much only white people — bachelors and bachelorettes — every season.
But this year, we were stoked to see that things were much more diverse than in years past. And it's not really a surprise — seeing as Sean had previously dated girls from various backgrounds before being cast on The Bachelorette. It's definitely a welcome change!
In fact, The Bachelor winner — and Sean's now-fiancée — Catherine Giudici, caught our eye early on with her exotic looks (and obviously caught Sean's eye, too). With gorgeous skin, dark hair, and brown eyes, we basically assumed she hails from The Land of the Gorgeous People. But, to be more specific, we did a little investigating and found out that the former Amazon pro has quite the complex mix of ethnicities.
Catherine's father, Carey, contacted OK Here is the Situation to clarify the origin of the family surname, saying "my ancestors are from Switzerland (hence the Italian name) and Scotland. According to his LinkedIn profile, her father — whom Catherine discussed with Sean at length during their alone time — is a social media coach. Her mother, Cynthia Mejia-Giudici has the other side of the gene pool covered, and is a trustee for the Filipino-American National Historical Society.
We can't wait to see what Sean and Catherine's gorgeous babies look like!

Monte and Stoney Jones use cow work and performance- horse maneuvers to produce versatile ranch horses. Here, they outline the five skills every ranch horse must have, and tips to achieve them when starting your colt.
Here's how to give your horse the judgment and self-assurance he needs to keep cattle from crossing the line.
Last month, we discussed how working cattle is similar to a team sport, such as football. You and your horse are on one side of the scrimmage line, and the cow is on the other. The herd, or the "goal," is behind you. Also like football, each team is either on offense or defense. The cow's movement and position with regard to the herd, gate or other "goal" determines which role your horse must play.

Shake hands with Luis Leao, and it feels like a couple of bones are broken by his right-handed vise grip, so fist pumps would suffice when one greets the easy-going, first All-American in Mercyhurst men's basketball history.
Leao, a strong 6-foot 5-inch forward from Brusque, Brazil, who did not have a strong supporting cast in his 2012-13 senior season, still led the Lakers to a 16-13 season and a berth in the PSAC playoffs with consistently solid performances throughout the season. Leao, who played three seasons with the Lakers, was selected to the 16-player National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II All-American team.
Leao averaged 18.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game as a senior on a team depleted by graduation and three top players who were dismissed from the team for violating school policies. He set a school record with 166 made free throws, connecting on 81.4 percent from the foul line. He shot 47.8 percent from the field. Leao scored 1,221 points and averaged 17.4 points per game in three seasons.
Leao played just 15 games in 2011-12, recovering from a major knee injury from the end of the previous season, then a shoulder injury during the season. It was that devastating injury at Indiana, Pa. in the final 2010-11 regular season game that likely cost Mercyhurst, a 20-game winner, its first NCAA Division II tournament appearance.
"Without Luis, we have lost a lot of our firepower, and the Atlantic Region committee recognizes that," Mercyhurst coach Gary Manchel said at the time.
Leao loves basketball, and said he loved his four years at Mercyhurst, where he was a tough competitor but always seemed to have a sincere smile and displayed sportsmanship on the court. But his priority is to be in the medical field, and as a biology major, Leao has a 3.87 grade point average at Mercyhurst.
"I have contacts in Boston, and I hope to further my education and get a degree in medicine, which has always been my goal," Leao said after the Lakers lost at Edinboro in the PSAC playoffs, his final game.
Manchel, finishing his 10th season at Mercyhurst, said replacing Leao will be a formidable task.
"He's one of the best players I have ever coached, and one of the best young human beings that I've ever been associated with," Manchel said. "Luis will be successful and people will be the better for it. He was a special player here, and a special person."

Vitamins prevent things like Warts, and immune deficiency.
One of the common ways for an individual to ensure that they receive all of their vitamins at the required recommended daily dosage is through the use of a multi-vitamin. However, if you were to ask an individual whether taking a multivitamin was worth it, they, in most cases, wouldn't be able to answer. They take a multivitamin simply because it seems like the right and logical thing to do.
Therefore, a simple discussion about multivitamins and whether they are worth it or not may prove helpful.
What Is a Multivitamin?
Before addressing the question of whether multivitamins are worth the cost and time and effort to take, it is important to know what the purpose is of taking a multivitamin.
A multi-vitamin supplement is exactly that. It is to supplement for one's diet and is in no way a replacement for the individual's need to eat a diet that is balanced in proper nutrition.
Probably the most popular multivitamin on the market today is labeled as "One-A-Day." Generally, the formulary for a multivitamin is the containing of 10 minerals and 10 vitamins to supplement the individual's diet. Also, as of late, gaining in popularity is a children's multi-vitamin supplement.
In addition, it is important to know that the foods available on the market today are for the most part enhanced with various minerals and vitamins. This boosting of nutrients also addresses the body's need for health minerals and vitamins. Therefore, in addition to eating and taking a multivitamin, the individual may be getting more vitamins and minerals than they actually need.
Are They Worth It?
Therefore, knowing a little bit more about multivitamins and what they contain and their purpose, the question about whether they are worth it or not needs to be asked.
The answer of course is if the individual is not eating the right diet or a balanced diet, then they are not receiving the proper minerals and vitamins the body requires to maintain its health. Therefore, if this is the reality for an individual then a multivitamin supplement is probably needed.
However, if an individual is eating a balanced diet which includes the proper amount of vegetables, fruits, proteins, carbohydrates and fat then they are probably receiving the needed vitamins for health purposes. Consequently, for these individuals a multivitamin supplement is probably not worth taking in fact they are probably receiving excess amounts of these nutrients.
One of the most irritating conditions that most individuals have experienced in their lifetime is the common cold. This is because the symptoms of a cold include a runny nose, a cough, sore throat, congestion of the lungs and sinuses, headache, etc.
This condition is known as the common cold and is one of the most common and dreaded illnesses because of the debilitating symptoms. Therefore, before the next cold strikes, it may prove helpful to understand more about the common cold and look at possible cures.
Understanding the Common Cold
The common cold is caused by a virus. This virus affects the respiratory system which includes the lungs, sinuses, throat and nose.
A cold can be very debilitating as it makes one feel terrible. This is due to the fact that there are various symptoms. In addition to the symptoms listed above one of the added ugly symptoms is a fever. All of these combined symptoms make the individual feel extremely terrible, lethargic and not wanting to do anything at all but rest.
Possible Cures
First of all, it is important to understand that there is no cure for the common cold once a person has a cold. If a person has a cold there are only methods that will facilitate the cold to run its course through the body. In addition, there are ways that the symptoms of the cold can be treated.
Therefore, a discussion involving a cure for the cold is really what are some potential actions that a person can take to prevent a cold from being experienced.
One of the first "cures" in regards to not obtaining a cold is to actually not "catch a cold." This can be accomplished by making sure that your contact with other individuals is neutralized as much as possible. This means that if you shake hands or come in contact with other people, it is important to cleanse your hands with an anti-bacterial hand wash or soap and water before touching your face or eyes and transferring that virus to yourself.
Also, is important to disinfect shared spaces. Specifically, the use of phones, countertops, rails or handrails, etc. should all be disinfected as these can be common areas that are shared by a number of individuals. These common areas could be in the workplace or at home.
Another important "cure" for a common cold is to avoid large crowds during the cold season. Especially avoid large crowds that are brought together in encllosed areas.
Finally, it is best to not be around people who have the cold. This will obviously decrease the likelihood of one obtaining a cold from another person.
The world today appears to be more complex and intense. In addition, the levels of stress experienced are skyrocketing. All of this is due to the pressures experienced through daily living.
Those pressures include working at a job, rearing children, dealing with irregular people, personal relationships, etc. The list of pressure and stress inducing factors go on and on. What is a person to do?
One of the answers to this question has to deal with stamina. Therefore, an examination of what stamina is and how to build stamina may help an individual cope with everyday stress.
What is Stamina?
Stamina is defined as that quality found in an individual in whom they have the needed energy and endurance to meet the needs of an activity or the experiences of life. This stamina can be both in the areas of physical as well as mental capacities.
Even though when people refer to stamina they usually use it in reference to sports activities or one's exercise routine, stamina can also relate to other areas of an individual's life. Those other areas of individual's life could include stamina to meet the needs of raising a family, stamina to meet the needs and stresses as it relates to their occupation, etc.
How to Build Stamina
There are many ways for an individual to build their stamina. One of the easiest ways for an individual to have their stamina enhanced is to ensure that a proper diet is followed.
This proper diet should include fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, the diet should not contain excessive amounts of processed or fried foods. The food eaten should be cooked simply and properly so as to ensure that the cooking does not negate the nutrients found in the food. It is also suggested that smaller meals be eaten throughout the course of the day and snacks consisting of fruits, nuts and raw vegetables be eaten.
Another important activity that should be indulged in to increase one's stamina is exercise. Exercise regimens such as aerobics, biking, walking, running, and dancing are all good methods of increasing one's heart rate and expanding lung capacity. This in turn will stimulate oxygen to the body with the result being an increase in stamina. It is suggested that at least 10,000 steps be a goal for an individual to achieve on a daily basis.
Once an individual has decided to take action and increase their stamina, another important way to build stamina is to enjoy this new lease on life with another individual. Therefore, it is important to find a partner to not only help you with your commitment but provide encouragement to keep on keeping on.
Finally, it isn't worth it to get enough rest. A recommended good night's sleep should include at least eight hours a night.
Salt has always had a prominent place in the lives of people. The importance of salt is captured in sayings such as "that a person is not worth their salt" or "you are the salt of the earth." In addition, salt has had a place in the world of superstition through the throwing of salt over one's shoulder.
Additionally, salt has had a prominent place in the kitchen. This is demonstrated in its use in various recipes and its own container at the dinner table through a salt shaker.
However, too much of a good thing can be bad. Therefore, it is important to know about salt and how much salt is bad for you.
Properties of Salt
The chemical compound for salt is NaCl. NA is the chemical abbreviation for sodium and Cl is the chemical abbreviation for chloride. Therefore, salt is sodium chloride.
It is important to know that the properties of salt are important to the body's health. This is because sodium is a critical electrolyte needed in the body. Consequently, the function of salt or sodium chloride in the body is to bring the water and other critical fluids in the body together at the healthy balance.
Sodium is also a molecule that is electronically charged. This element of sodium along with potassium helps to make sure that the electrical system or nervous system is maintained at a healthy level and allows the proper nerve endings to transmit various electrical impulses. This is critical for the proper functioning of muscular movement as well as other functions.
How Much is Too Much?
There are many schools of thought regarding the ingestion of salt and at what point is the intake of salt too much. The reason for concern is that a high salt intake and level in the body is directly correlated to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is caused because the heart has to work harder because of the excess salt in the body and its ability to bind water together. This in turn makes the heart work harder.
Consequently, the suggested intake of salt as measured in milligrams varies amongst different types of health-related organizations. For example, United States Department of Agriculture recommends that a maximum of 2300 mg of salt be ingested. Whereas the American Heart Association takes a lower end view of salt intake and suggests an ingestion of 1500 mg. Other organizations have a suggested intake of salt at a level of 1500 to 2300 mg of salt per day.
In conclusion, it is important to note that probably anything over 2300 mg of salt per day is too much. In addition, it is critical to understand that salt doesn't just come from the salt shaker but is found in other food items. Significantly, a lot of frozen foods contain a high amount of sodium which is used as a flavoring and preservative.
Therefore, it is important to read food labels and fully understand what the individual's salt intake is. This consideration should include salt used in food preparation, salt added at the dinner table and salt eaten through various processed foods.
Because of the global market, there are many fruits and vegetables that are available all year round. This is good news because fresh fruits and vegetables, at any time of the year, is a wonderful treat not only for the taste buds, but in maintaining the health of the body.
One such fruit that is available year round, due to different harvest times globally are grapes. In addition to their delicious taste a brief overview on the health benefits of grapes may prove helpful.
What Are Grapes?
Probably everybody, at some point in time in their life, has eaten a grape and knows what a grape is. However, perhaps there are those individuals who don't know that there are different types of grapes grown for different types of purposes.
Consequently, there are table grapes and there are wine grapes.
Table grapes are those grapes that are grown with the specific purpose of being eaten by the consumer while they are still fresh. Generally these types of grapes have a minimal amount of sugar and are very tasty. Consequently, because of their low sugar content, they are not suitable for the fermentation process in making these grapes into wine.
The other type of grape is a wine grape that is higher in sugar content. Therefore is more conducive to the fermentation process and making this particular grape into wine
The nutrients found in grapes are very conducive and helpful to maintain the health of the human body. Specifically, those nutrients include Vitamin B1, potassium, Vitamin B 6, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and manganese.
In addition, grapes are rich in antioxidant benefits. Specifically, this benefit helps the body to control free radical damage which is a leading cause of cancer. In addition, antioxidant properties work in concert with the body in regards to the oxidation process.
Also, the eating of grapes has anti-inflammatory benefits. This means that the qualities of the grape help to reduce inflammation in the body. This is important because inflammation can cause pain and lead to disease within the body.
In addition, there are associated cardiovascular benefits with the eating of grapes. This is due to the fact that there is a controlling of inflammation as well as the antioxidant properties.
One other major benefit associated with the eating of grapes is the presence of phytonutrients. This quality has been shown to be effective in reducing the anti-aging process in the human body.

The Politics of Real Estate
Few industries are as profoundly impacted by the political machinations in Washington as the real estate industry. Whether it's old legislation like Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act or Barack Obama's massive mortgage bailouts, the U.S. political machine has a huge impact (usually bad) on the business of real estate.
Ideally, we could ignore politics. But here at the Bryan Ellis Real Estate Letter, we insist on seeing the world with clarity - including the reality of Washington's aggressive involvement in every facet of our business, from mortgage lending to real estate sales license; from loan modification regulations to appraisal requirements... every piece of our business is profoundly impacted by politics. So rather than stick our heads in the sand and ignore reality, readers of the Bryan Ellis Real Estate Letter choose to be informed and prepared.

Hidden agenda controls election
The majority of citizens know little or nothing of the agenda of evil forces and secret societies that rule and are bent on destroying America and our way of life.
I pray I'm wrong, but by the time this letter is published, President Obama will have been re-elected. History repeated. Two-hundred seventy electoral votes decided the winner, not your vote or mine. No matter the number of popular votes, Mitt Romney could not win.
In so-called democratic nations, the masses are led to believe their votes decide elections and that they choose their leaders. No; right or left, Democrat or Republican, they're all the same. Nothing ever changes. The horrible truth is unless a candidate has the endorsement of the masters who rule behind the scenes, he has no chance of winning. Unless a politician promises to support the goals of the Illumined Ones - subversion of Christian morality, promotion of environmentalism, globalism and the end of American sovereignty - he will never be elected. Who has done a better job of this than our beloved president?
These insiders guarantee the outcome of an election by infusing millions into the campaigns of their favored candidates, whom they control, and by vote scams and fraud.
Why not end the charade? There is no difference and nothing ever changes in the two major parties. America continues to hurtle forward into a New World Order of Communism awaiting an antichrist leader. Elections are controlled, rigged. Nevertheless, we are to vote and not cower down.
