Educational chess software 'Chess U' introduced on iPhone
by Cherlyn Gardner Strong on Jun. 20, 2011, under TechnologyTucsonan Dr. Mark Ginsburg knows a thing or two about the game of chess. He became a master of chess at the age of 18 and an International Master at 22. He is a three-time champion (and current champion) of the state of Arizona.
A few years ago, he envisioned a smart phone application to teach others to become chess masters. Today, his vision has become a reality with an iPhone app called Chess University, or Chess U, for short.
The platform is free via iTunes, as is a starter course called "Attack 101″. Each course has 10 lessons and each lesson has numerous quizzes. At the end of a course, the user can opt to receive a diploma via email. The point is to help them on the road to eventual chess mastery.
"The user reviews so far have been very positive," says Ginsburg. "So far we have the free course and 4 "in-app purchase" courses. Users can elect to purchase additional content for $0.99."
The user experience is very simple. No buttons or controls to navigate. Just tap right-side of board to advance a move, and tap left-side of board to retreat a move. Quizzes can be true/false or multiple choice with easy to read answer choices at the bottom of the screen. There's no training necessary to immediately start trying out the app.
Since not everyone has an iPhone, Ginsburg said that the courses will be available soon on native Facebook, since Facebook will soon introduce a monetary system. A customer will be able to purchase, using Facebook credits, courses much as they do on the iPhone.
"We also want the app to run natively on the iPad and are investigation other smart phones such as Android," Ginsburg added.
Users of the application have requested more Chess U Courses and Ginsburg is working quickly to deliver them. He has gotten some friends to participate, too. Marcel Martinez, a strong player in Florida, will deliver a Strategy Course. Dave Vigorito from the Boston area is working an Openings Course. Steve Follmer is focused on a Beginner's Course.
To learn more, watch the video below and visit the Chess U website.

Golden Showers As Goldman Tells Clients To Sell Gold

It's around that time of day again - when precious metals are sold hard for whatever reason you care to come up with (collateral requirements, margin calls, alchemy perfected). However, today there is a more mundane reason: Goldman Sachs has suggested its clients sell Gold on the basis that the gold cycle will turn in 2013 thanks to improving US growth offsetting the need for further Fed easing. Of course, Goldman telling its clients to 'sell gold' means Goldman is...

This video is somewhat embarrassing to me, but I'm going to post it anyway. I don't watch football, so I have no idea who these two clowns are (they say something about the Seattle Seahawks).
These wealthy, young men (and I use that term lightly considering how juvenile their behavior is) have made it. They have money, live in the suburbs and have the ability to make a positive video and put it on YouTube. Instead they make a video entitled "Black Olympics".
Just in case there is any question - Yes - this is a racist video.
It is very disconcerting to hear children on the other side of the camera watching and applauding this idiocy. Everything they are teaching them is just wrong. (By the way, the stereotype is that most black people drink grape Kool-aide anyway.)
You often hear folks say that these athletes forget where they come from - this video proves it. I know of a couple of stereotypes about black athletes, maybe me and my girls should get together and do a video about that and post it on YouTube.
I hope Debra Lee over at BET don't see this mess, chances are she will try and make it a series...
_____________________________________________Again, I don't follow the NFL, but even I know the drama queen that is Dallas Cowboy's Terrell Owens. I remember last year he was supposed to be in a sitcom with Flav a Flav. Anyhow, we all know VHI (owned by Viacom who also owns BET) will give damn near anybody a show. The more tacky and promiscuous you are the better. Having said all that, they gave TO a show...
Really? It appears that TO will be playing the stereotype of the black athlete for the viewers of VHI (I guess me and my girls can hold off on our YouTube video). Enjoy.

WEST LIBERTY - The top two singles titles and No. 1 Doubles crown on the boys' side reside in the Conforti household.
Friday in the West Virginia Class AA/A Region One Tournament at West Libert University, the Weirton Madonna duo cleaned up.
Nick Conforti didn't qualify for the singles tournament last season but won his first regional title when the junior bested Williamstown's Luke Flanagan, 9-7, in the finals.

They teamed together to beat Ryan Leo and Alex Gedon of Williamstown, 8-5.
Wheeling Central won the girls' title with 20 points, four ahead of runner-up Parkersburg Catholic. The boys' side had 18 points, as Weirton Madonna and Oak Glen finished tied for second with 14 points.

Wheeling Central had a player in each of the four girls' singles finals. Natalie Capito (No. 1) fell to Parkersburg Catholic freshman Ariel Shulman, 8-0, and Brynn Jenkins (No. 3) lost to Oak Glen's Haley Spurlock in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (7).
Kate Clowes and Audrey Eisenmann of Parkersburg Catholic were the No. 3 Doubles champs.

We have a point in development where we'll say, 'Okay, we're ready to announce a date,' but we're just not there yet." So, there's still hope yet, kiddos.

"an economic boom" and an explosive boom from your kitchen faucet when gas surges out with your water! It will never be safe to fracture deep rock formations to free trapped natural gas, which then penetrates soil and underground water systems. Ecosuicide.

Fracking activities bring explodng pipelines like the rent explosions in Sisson W Virginia, venting of God knows what at dehydration stations and Compressor Sttations which recnetly occurred in WyomingCounty PEnnsylvania, noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution, sound and light pollution,drils and spills, truck accidents, increased drug and alcohol use, high spike in rents where industry workers need for housing displaces those of local residents and more. Soon much of the US natural gas will be exported while we are left with all the negative impacts. You can't drink money! I wonder how many compressor stations, gas wells etc. Mark Cuban has on his properties. I'm guessing none.
@jackinnj - unconventional slick water horizonal hydrofracking has not been used since the 1950's but since the 1990's in the US. Look up the Haliburton Loophole. If an industry is so safe why do they need all the exemptions?

#joreily -- fracking has been used in the US since the 1950's, and you wouldn't go long futures if you thought a lot more supply was coming into the market -- go pick up a text book on micro-economics.
Gov. Cuomo should see the movie. Take Sheldon Silver for the ride. Western NY from Elmira to Buffalo would undergo an economic boom it hasn't seen since Erie Canal was bult. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvanians are getting the jobs.

Students envision a common future for the U.S. and Arab world
Posted April 30, 2009; 10:05 a.m.
Student leaders from Princeton and the Middle East recently spent four days on campus examining the relationship between the United States and Middle East with the goal of increasing understanding about issues that connect them.
The conference, "Visions and Revisions: Charting a Common Future for the U.S. and the Arab World," brought together 15 visiting students from Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and Lebanon with 16 University students to explore their similarities and differences through talks about religion, politics, human rights and culture.
Student leaders from Princeton and the Middle East recently spent four days on campus examining the relationship between the United States and Middle East at a student-led conference titled "Visions and Revisions: Charting a Common Future for the U.S. and the Arab World." From left, Egyptian student Abd el-Hamid Sherif, sophomore Daniel Growald and sophomore Alex Thompson discuss ways to continue collaborations after the visiting students return to the Middle East. (Photo: Brian Wilson)
"By fostering an unfiltered discussion we wanted to cultivate knowledge and empathy, and also lay the groundwork for collaborative leadership between student leaders from diverse backgrounds and religions," said University senior Zvi Smith. "My own perspective has been significantly deepened by the conference. It was a transformative experience."
The conference was organized and led by Smith, junior Nour Aoude, sophomore Danny Growald, junior Farah Naim and sophomore Zahava Stadler. Smith said he and Associate Dean of Religious Life Paul Raushenbush came up with the idea to host a select group of Middle Eastern students following a 2008 student trip to Jordan sponsored by the Office of Religious Life and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Held from April 24-27, the conference included presentations, community service projects, cultural events and public lectures by Middle East scholars, including former ambassadors Robert Finn, a lecturer in Near Eastern studies and international affairs, and Daniel Kurtzer, the S. Daniel Abraham Visiting Professor in Middle East Policy Studies and a lecturer in public and international affairs.
The event concluded with students developing ways to promote peaceful relationships between the United States and Middle East on their respective campuses, such as creating an Internet forum to increase knowledge about Islam and other religions and organizing a Middle East speaker series.
On each day of the conference, participants broke into small discussion groups to examine topics such as gender, media coverage of the Middle East, terrorism and stereotypes. (Photo: Brian Wilson)
Participants also engaged in small, confidential discussions about topics such as gender, media coverage of the Middle East, terrorism and stereotypes. Many students said it was these intimate meetings that proved the most enlightening.
"The really valuable part of this experience is that we came together as one group in one room and discussed everything openly," said Youssef Yaacoub, a Lebanese graduate student from the American University of Beirut. "I also really appreciated that so many of the Princeton students in the group are studying Arabic. It was very touching that the students here have taken the time to really understand our culture and our point of view."
Although it was not her first time in the United States, Egyptian student Neama Ebaid said she has re-examined her perception of Americans after her brief time at the conference.
"When I came here I discovered that there are many, many things that people from the Middle East think about Americans -- and a lot of things that Americans think about us -- that aren't true," said Ebaid, who is studying at the American University in Cairo. "Now that we have a better understanding about where people in the U.S. may be coming from, we can communicate this to other students back in the Middle East."
University sophomore Melekot Abate, who is Ethiopian and lived in Yemen, said he was able to approach the conference from a unique vantage of having lived among American and Arab cultures.
From left, Neama Ebaid, a visiting student from the American University in Cairo, talks with sophomore Miryam Hegazy and Egyptian student Mariam Yousry at a reception on the last day of the conference. (Photo: Brian Wilson)
"I was really surprised at how much new insight I gained into the American mindset and the Middle East mindset," Abate said. "We can take what we learned here and give other people the opportunity to look at these issues in a fresh way."
Co-organizer Naim echoed Abate's comments, saying that the conference helped establish a "path forward."
"In just four days we were able to build long-lasting relationships and create connections by understanding each other better and establish empathy," Naim said. "Now if we hear something in the news about violence happening in the Middle East or in America, we don't just think, 'What an unfortunate event,' we think, 'That could be my friend.'"
The conference was sponsored by: the Office of Religious Life, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Program in Near Eastern Studies, Fund for Intergroup Collaboration, Office of the Vice President of Campus Life, Pace Center, Davis International Center, Council for International Teaching and Research, Department of Psychology, Program in American Studies and Fields Center.
Fifteen visiting students from Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and Lebanon joined 16 University students on campus April 24-27 to explore issues that connect the United States and Middle East. The conference was organized by University students Zvi Smith, Nour Aoude, Danny Growald, Farah Naim and Zahava Stadler. (Photo: Brian Wilson)

Im no expert, there will be many people on here with much more knowledge than me.
But I am a newbie and havent used failsafe or the telemetry side of it yet, but i use the same setup but my controller is a Eurgle 9x.... same thing.
Havent had any probs yet, Reflash it with the ER9X firmware.
Thanks for the reply .. I just wanted to make sure it would plug in and work.
no worries.
The only thing to check is that there are a few different versions of the 9x controller, Flysky, Eurgle, Turnigy etc. Some of them you have to do a mod as the transmitter is actually wired in
My Eurgle was just a plug and play, just check what the Flysky is before you order.
Yes I saw that but he was not using the THIS right ?
I haven't got my firmware flashed, but I can tell you the stock firmware is pitiful. It was seriously written by non-english speaking retards.
I got the Turnigy 9X TX/RX from hobbyking for around $55. I'm pretty happy with it overall. That's what I'd start with.
It's easy enough to add another TX module in the future. They've run the coax through the unit, so you have to cut the coax, remove one screw in the antenna and pull it out. If you want to save the TX module you'll have to then resolder the coax to the module. There are several youtube videos on this.
You just can't beat the price on this unit. Even buying a new TX module and RX it's still probably the cheapest 9ch out there.
Or I could just use THIS ....
So you recommend the Turingy over the FrSky ?
Not sure how that gizmo works. The details look pretty sketchy on implementation.
I just use the Turnigy 9X transmitter and the TX module and RX that comes with it. I'd start there before dumping money on other modules.
The new 3DR radios (Si1000/HopeRF module based) work pretty well and are light years ahead of any of the 2.4g crap that's out there. If/when I replace the stock TX module it will probably be with a Si1000 based radio chip. I'd imagine there should be some of those out in a year or so. It's a shame HopeRF didn't expose more pins from the Si1000 or I'd already be working on using one of their modules as a TX/RX. They're only $10 each, and have more processing power than the APM2 so it really is a shame they wasted all that on a simple transparent serial connection.
I just use the Turnigy 9X transmitter and the TX module and RX that comes with it
We know the stock receiver will continue to send the last outputs to the APM when the radio is lost. This is the same thing that caused the new member in the other thread to have a complete loss of the entire heli. I' pretty sure you saw that thread and you STILL fly on that receiver?
The details look pretty sketchy on implementation
No, what's sketchy is flying with a receiver we know doesn't work with failsafe, but worse than that, has been known to cause flyaways and crashes.
I'm not trying to pick on you, or start something. I'm just saying I cannot believe what you just posted when I think you saw that exact combination caused a crash.
Sad part is, due to the OP's original price range, the very radio I said not to buy is the same one I had to provide the link to (basically also making me look like a jerk). I was trying to put the disclaimer when I posted it that for that price, we knew it was not a good choice based on the failsafe problem. I tried to show I personally would not use that radio and I only fly genuine Spektrum for a reason.
In other words, if you say I want to fly, have 8 or more channels, for less than $150, then pretty much a 9X is about all there is. If somebody does know of a different radio with 8 channels and less than $150 price tag that does work properly with the APM from a failsafe perspective and is reliable, then by all means please link.
I haven't done the research to find out when somebody discovered the fatal flaw in the 9x failsafe, but the most recent postings of accidents, pretty much say it all. If you fly a 9x receiver and lost RF, pretty much consider that aircraft gone due to the fact the receiver just keeps sending the last servo outputs. If you upgrade and use a non-stock receiver, this may be fixed, but again, out of the box, it doesn't work.
Almost a funny joke: "How far is the RF range on a 9X ? The answer is all the way to the scene of the crash!"
Also, I just have to repeat, this has nothing to do with the APM as my understanding, I honestly believe, based on what I've read, any RC aircraft with a servo and this receiver would do the same thing, just fly off into the sunset because once RF is lost, it maintains output rather than no ouput. Just seems like a fatal flaw in my mind.
So you have three of them that you've been flying for years with no problems, then you borrow one to a noob and he has a problem that was possibly caused by some sort of TX/RX problem... so now you think 9X's are crap?
I think your expectations are unreasonable.
That was a random flyaway, there's no telling what caused that. It's pure speculation to blame the receiver.
I'm not saying that wasn't the cause, but it could have just as easily been the ESC or APM.
I've used the 9X transmitter plenty with no problems. Millions of the transmitters have been sold under a handful of brand names. I haven't seen very many complaints online for how popular they are.
Believe me they wouldn't be selling like hotcakes and constantly out of stock if they weren't being used. People would be screaming like bloody murder all over the internet if the problem you mention was anything more than a 1 in 1000 hardware problem.
Production errors do occur, there's really nothing you can do about it. The soldering on my 9X is better than my 3DR radio or APM2, so it's not a poorly made product.
So I stick by my recommendation. Lot's of people far more experienced than me also recommend the unit.

Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

I messaged 2 authors about this but go no response. I was wondering if any authors would be interested it Giving these guys a shot. They Respond to Facebook and both of them have messaged me with interest In expanding their music to a game. They are both Unsigned, but have Studio Work done. Give them a listen. Crown The Empire is like Asking Alexandria, and A Tragedy At Hand, is basically pure harder, but they both have Keys and harmonies(or Clean and Unclean Vocals). I will link these, because I think they deserve some spots in here.
Crown The Empire
A Tragedy At Hand
-They have responded to every message I've left, they are very easy to get in touch with. Both Unsigned, I have one more band, thats acoustic, but I need to get in touch with him first, since hes my cousin and all. Both I would def love to see, Crown The Empire in here. They are amazing. and A Trag has alot of melody to them. Very worth it.

KDVS is a valuable place, full of extraordinary characters in all areas specifically in the music scene. Most people might say that you will meet some of the characters of your lifetime in the Freeborn basement. The irreplaceable library of music that makes KDVS is what attracts the people who truly love those garage/basement bands that ensue. The renowned ability that has been found in KDVS is the faculty to play music not mainstream or popular but in an unique DJs mind educational, diverse, and challenging but overall awesome. What may be the most attracting feat of this community is each person's passion and love for a variety of music.
But what makes KDVS so unique is the diversity of personality present. Recently NPR wrote an article about the six songs that describe who you are, essentially "you are what you hear." By answering six questions, you are able to infer who the person is. In an effort to try to introduce the community of KDVS some of our new volunteers and current DJs and staff answered the following questions:

Thunderstorms Launch Antimatter Into Space
Antimatter may have a good home in the realm of science fiction—it's the stuff that powered the Enterprise's warp drive, for example—but it's also real, albeit rare.
Maybe not as rare as we thought, though. Scientists have detected beams of antimatter coming out of thunderstorms and heading into space. The team reported the findings this week at the American Astronomical Society meeting.
When conditions are right, the strong electric fields near the top of a thunderstorm drive electrons (the yellow dots in the diagram) upwards, nearly at the speed of light. When the electrons are deflected by molecules of air, they give off gamma rays (the pink dots). If a gamma ray passes by the nucleus of an atom, it can transform into an electron and a positron (the few green dots among the yellow), the electron's antimatter counterpart. Those electrons and positrons race into space, following a path created by the Earth's magnetic field.
If that antimatter hits NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and collides with a bit of normal matter, the matter and antimatter are eliminated and transform back into a gamma ray that the telescope detects. "These signals are the first direct evidence that thunderstorms make antimatter particle beams," said the study's lead author, Michael Briggs of the University of Alabama.
Antimatter-powered warp drives are just around the corner, right?

I Love Lamp | The Aviator Edition
I have been rocking the mirrored aviators for a couple ten years now. Unfortunately the sands of Kazakhstan were not kind to the originals. I could really use a couple of these that have been turned into a lamp of all things. In case you were curious, this "I Love Lamp" will run you a cool $1600. Ouch.
fair and balanced
3,800 HP jet-powered bike - This guy clearly understands the meaning of "crotch rocket." I get the feeling that if Mr. Mad Ron Laycock could get his hands on a Saturn V, tip it over and tack a couple wheels on it we'd see his name atop the list of Darwin Award recipients.
On the other end of the spectrum is 18-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak (Canadian); creator of the Uno...
I give the young lad full credit for figuring out how to make a Segway look a little cooler and more enjoyable to ride. But did he have to give it the facial expression of the Hobgoblin about to smash into a windshield? And the name could use a little work...I clearly see two wheels.
I'm not sure either of fellows above hold a candle to the inventor of the TwoDaLoo...the world's first toilet two people can use...at the exact same time. It brings couples closer together and conserves our water supply all with one flush. The TwoDaLoo features two side-by-side toilet seats with a modest privacy wall in between. The upgraded version includes a 7" LCD television and iPod docking station.
Originating in China I'll leave it to others to argue which is the yin and which is the yang. Stock version for $1,400.

I have this program but never used it, looking at videos now but.. i don't know. I'm just trying to get the hang of this GTD thing. Is MS Project one of these things DA would describe as a toy?
MS Project is not a toy - it's quite a powerful tool designed for project management. Not something I'd suggest for GTD.
I've not heard DA refer to it as a toy. As Peter says, it's a robust project management tool. In your GTD system, it could serve to manage your project support material.
I have an audio tape of DA where he describes having used lots of different systems including mind mapping software (maybe that is all he was talking about), he said, "they're all toys".... something like that anyway. I know he now endorses mind mapping software, the tape is several years old, that is what I was referring to.
I bought a clear inbox, a metal file cabinet, a label maker, put that flow chart on the wall but this GTD stuff is very complex for me. You tube videos are helping and now I have both his books I'll read them instead of relying on memories of the seminar tape.
MS Project is software for doing traditional project management, and if you would want to have done training/reading on project management. It has lots of features, I use it for work but keep it simple, it's too hard to use all the features. As Kelly said, it becomes project support material, you do a gantt chart as part of the organising step in the project plan.
Unless you know you need it for work I would just focus on GTD implementation, leave it until later.
Microsoft Project is a perfect tool for managing projects but not necessarily for getting things done. I've seen many well managed, useless projects.
You can try to use Jumbo Jet for errands but there are better alternatives.
You can dig from the past any statement about technology maturity and prove it wrong after sufficient period of time.
I'm not quoting DA for a "Got ya!" moment, just quoting him that's all, you seem kinda defensive. I'm trying to find something that will work for me and my small home based business. I'd like to be as digital as possible but a lot of tech I look at doesn't do it for me including project. I have been using DA's suggestion of Word in outline view for quite a while for brain storming etc. I have office 2010 now (64 bit so that GTD add on doesn't work) Excel and word. And I take notes by hand on a pad when the phone rings. I'm just looking for ways to use this stuff more effectively I'm so unorganized. *apparently that's not a word.
btw, I'm not into mind maps even though I've read Buzan's books a few.. correction, quite a few years ago.
I have a vague memory that somewere DA said project management tools like MS project are good for managing complex projects, but should be combined with a tool/system (like GTD) which ensures all planning is translated to physical next actions. MS project etc are not correct tools to define next actions like call Fred. Their planning power is in higher level.
If I recall correctly DA has said it is next impossible to plan certain projects (e.g. large construction project) without proper tools (and MS project was mentioned as one possible tools). Natural Planning Model can be used to avoid obvious errors (like Dodger stadion build without drinking fountains).
I also have tried to use mind maps, but I have found it easier to use outlining tools. My current favourite is MS word.
@Mike - if you haven't done so already, check out some of the "cloud" solutions available. That's what I've been using for about three years now and have been happy.
I was using Toodledo for most of this time and syncing with Appigo's Todo on the iPhone. I recently switched over to Appigo's Todo Online and have found it simpler yet more powerful. Cloud has the benefit of multi-platform (Mac, Windows, mobile) and cool features like email to inbox.

Direct Marketing Educational Foundation Hosts Student Career ForumAnnual Tri-State Area Event Sponsored by The Lee Epstein Fund New York, NY, November 18, 2008 The Direct Marketing Educational Foundation (DMEF) recently hosted its Annual Student Career Forum at the Ney Center in New York City, carrying on the annual tradition first initiated by The Lee Epstein Fund. The Forum is sponsored in large part by The Lee Epstein Fund, which was created as a DMEF Endowment Trust to continue the vision of its namesake to support students and their educational needs. With over 100 students from tri-state area colleges and universities in attendance, DMEF worked diligently on its mission: to attract, educate, and place top college students in the business of direct/interactive marketing. After 40 years of establishing relationships with professors and staff at both colleges and universities nationwide, DMEF has never been stronger and more equipped to deliver on our promise to generate, nurture, and enrich the talent pool to meet the future needs of the direct/interactive marketing field said Terri L. Bartlett, DMEF president. Given the vast changes taking place in the marketplace, we expect to see more students moving into this exciting field we call direct. Since 1966, DMEF has worked on multiple fronts to support direct/interactive marketing education at colleges and universities across the country. The continuation of the Annual Student Career Forum, possibly at a time when it is needed the most, is just another step the Foundation has taken to help students bridge the gap between the classroom and the boardroom. This years successful event combined networking opportunities and valuable job-seeking strategies with presentations from a recognized community brand leader; a rising star in mobile marketing; and an up-and-coming student career coaching company. · Sharon Saias, Senior Brand Manager, KRAFT/Gevalia Wake Up to a New Coffee Experience: The Transformation of Gevalia · Amanda Moskowitz, Client Services Director, ShopText Direct Engagement Through SMS · Meredith Trotta, President, The Polished Student Beyond the Resume: An Inside Look at What Recruiters Really Think About Direct Marketing Educational Foundation (DMEF) Headquartered in Since its founding, thousands of students have taken advantage of DMEFs educational programs, entering the field with the competitive edge of being workplace-ready. Many have gone on to become todays direct marketing leaders, an indication of the Foundations success. In addition, more than 1,800 professors have participated in DMEF programs. Thanks in significant part to the Foundations four decades of work, today approximately 255 colleges and universities offer courses in direct/interactive marketing, 31 of which now offer specific direct marketing degrees and certificate programs.

If I'm Nolan Ryan, if I'm Jon Daniels, then I'm privately moving ahead by immediately subtracting Nelson Cruz from the Rangers' 2013 opening-season plans.
Nellie is going down. Going down for 50 games.Where's my proof? My proof doesn't matter. It's Cruz who had better have the proof, and have an air-tight alibi, if he's going to skate on this one.And if Nellie goes down, thus continues a winter of baseball hell in Arlington, during which a good organization has repeatedly gone sideways, or worse yet, backward.You can blame sideways and backward on bad decisions or bad mojo, with both being factors, although in fairness, the bad mojo has been prevalent in several of the off-season failed plans.However, there are also prominent players' agents out there -- and agents certainly have their own agendas -- blaming the Rangers' winter on a front-office arrogance, aimed at Daniels, and a failure of Ryan to step up and take charge of the situation, or Daniels, or both.I did mention, right, that agents have their own agendas?But the PED news this week involving Cruz was a boomstick blow to the Rangers' gut.With some incredible luck, such as a Ryan Braun-type hanging chad mysteriously surfacing in south Florida, maybe Nellie beats this rap.But several factors work against Cruz. His name is now linked to a Miami drug house peddling its products to a variety of major league players. Some of those players have already gone down for the count, and I'm not talking about ancient A-Rod history.Last season alone, MLB decked Melky Cabrera of the Giants, who was leading the National League in hitting, and pitcher Bartolo Colon, who was a 10-game winner for the A's.As a sidenote, Rangers' fan were claiming last season (I hope jokingly) that a cheater and his 10 wins allowed Oakland to overtake the Rangers. Well, forget the joke. Cruz, with his career-high 90 RBIs, is now directly linked to Colon.But the major point here is both Colon and Cabrera took the fall for testing positive for previously undetectable synthetic testosterone. MLB caught them despite limited testing under existing rules.However, as of three weeks ago, MLB, with total agreement from the players' union, introduced the most updated and comprehensive testing program in all of sports for synthetic testosterone and HGH. It's a program that moves far beyond the testing for mere street steroids, a PED the smart player was avoiding anyway under the existing program.MLB is not playing anymore on PEDs. MLB is still steamed that Braun, the Brewers' NL MVP from 2011, didn't go down last season because he failed an HGH test. Braun beat the rap on a loophole, which has since been closed.But this is not the '80s and '90s and a case of MLB turning its head because the steroids fight against the players' union could not be won anyway. Remarkably, the union is now in lockstep with management, a clear indication that a vast majority of today's players want all PEDs out of baseball.No matter, some ballplayers will cheat. That's a given. The search for the edge, any edge, will continue. The objective for MLB is to have testing programs at the same level of expertise as the dirty players' chemists.Actually, MLB is now doing such a good job in this area it's bringing heat on the NFL, both its commissioner and its players' union, for football's lax PED enforcement, at least lax by current and updated baseball standards.This MLB vigorous attack on PEDs is also another problem for the Rangers and Cruz. Baseball was already investigating the PED lab in south Florida before the Miami New Times broke open the story this week, naming names and giving detailed written records provided by a company secretary who didn't get her final paycheck when the business folded last fall.What that newspaper story provided was another blueprint for MLB to work with.A-Rod is directly linked in this new scandal, but he's old news. Pitcher Gio Gonzalez, baseball's winningest hurler of 2012, is a new name. So is Cruz. Neither has ever tested positive for a PED, but under baseball rules, agreed upon by the union, they can still take the 50-game fall on "just cause" from Commissioner Bud Selig.I heard it said yesterday that the burden of proof is now on Selig to prove the allegations coming from south Florida. Actually, not. This is not a court of law. It's the court of baseball. The Selig court.Cruz will have to now convince the commissioner and his investigators that he didn't pay $4,000 last summer for a delivery of products from the south Florida company. That payment is part of the new evidence against Nellie.And I repeat, the payment was reportedly made to the same company that a Cabrera and a Colon were buying from when they tested dirty last summer.Meanwhile, the Rangers have been scrambling all winter, attempting to cover butt after a repeated failure of off-season goals. Now it's hello to a new scramble.It's a questionable batting order even with Nellie. Take him out of right field for 50 games, and it's a pathetic batting order.If Cruz goes down, what's the front-office answer?At the moment, it's difficult to figure what the next best move would be.But if I'm Daniels, or if I'm Ryan, I'm already subtracting those 50 games for Nellie. And the scramble to replace him would begin immediately.Randy Galloway can be heard 3-6 p.m. weekdays on Galloway & Co. on ESPN/103.3 FM.Randy Galloway, 817-390-7697Rangers' Cruz denies reported involvement with PEDs

5.2 The Customer shall neither consume products nor merge nor inseparably connect products subject to retention of title with other objects, which a third party may have rights to. If products subject to retention of title, however, become a component of a new object (e.g. through the connection with other objects), then we shall be a direct proportional co-owner of this object even if it constitutes a new legal entity. Our proportion of co-ownership shall be based on the relation of the invoice value of the conditional products to the value of the new object at the time of the connection.

In order to determine our rights, we reserve the right to have the Customer's documents and books concerning our reserved rights examined by a person who is subject to the professional duty of confidentiality.
6. Warranty, Limitation of Liability
6.1 We warrant that our products are free from defects in materials and workmanship (under normal conditions of use and service) at the time of the transfer of risk. The required characteristics, shelf life and use of our products are based solely on the written contractual specification, product description and/or operating instructions. Any information beyond this and in particular in preliminary discussions, advertisement and/or referenced industrial standards shall only become a part of the contract if they are expressly referenced in writing.
6.2 If the Customer requires the products for purposes other than those agreed, Customer must check before use if the products are especially suitable for such purposes - including all aspects pertaining to product safety - and Customer is required to ensure that products comply with all relevant technical, legal and official regulations and requirements. We shall not be liable for the fitness of our products for any application not expressly confirmed by us in writing. Further we shall not be liable for the accuracy of designs, specifications or materials furnished or specified by the Customer and thus have no particular testing obligation.
The observation of safety-related and occupational health regulations depends on the place and conditions of the product's use. The observation of these regulations is, therefore, the responsibility of the Customer.
6.3 The consequences of normal wear and tear of wearing parts such as diaphragms, seals, valves, vanes, condensers, oil and the breakage of glass, plastic or ceramic parts are excluded from this warranty. The warranty does also not apply for the consequences of improper handling, use, servicing or operation of the products or the consequences of chemical, electrochemical or electrical influences or the failure to follow the instructions in the operating instructions. The exclusive initial remedy of Customer in the event of a justified deficiency claim is the replacement or repair (at our sole discretion) of any defective product. Any additional warranty claims shall only exist due to rejection, impossibility or failure of said subsequent performance. Additional expenses, resulting from the fact that the goods have been relocated from the initial place of delivery, shall be borne by the Customer.
6.4 The Customer shall be obliged to promptly and carefully check incoming products - also for product safety - and to notify us of any apparent deficiencies in writing, and of any hidden defects as soon as they become apparent. The Customer must notify the carrier immediately of any transport damage. Non-observation of the obligation to check and give notice of defects will void any and all warranty claims for those deficiencies.
6.5 Our liability for slight negligence is limited to claims owing to injury to life, the body or the health, to claims from product liability as well as claims from the culpable breach of essential contractual duties, through which the contract is endangered. Incidentally, our liability for slightly negligent breach of essential contractual duties is limited to the typically incurring damages which we could have foreseen when the contract was concluded.
6.6 If the Customer uses the delivered products with materials that are harmful to the environment, poisonous, radioactive or dangerous in any other way, Customer shall be obliged to clean them prior to any return shipment. All cleaning, decontamination, and disposal costs shall be the sole responsibility of Customer.
7. Warranty period, Limitation of Actions
The warranty period for all our products shall be one year and starts at the time of delivery of products to the Customer. The same shall apply to claims for damages irrespective of legal basis. The period of limitations of Sec. 438, paragraph 1, no. 1 and 2, Sec. 479, paragraph 1 and Sec. 634a, paragraph 1, no. 2 of the German Civil Code remain unaffected.
Any of the above limitations and or exclusions of remedies or damages shall not apply to claims according to malicious non-disclosure of a defect, to product liability and for damages from injury to life, the body or the health and for other damages, which are due to wilful intent or gross negligence.
8. Software use
8.1 As far as software is contained in the delivery, the Customer will be granted the non-exclusive right to use the software delivered including its documentation on the specific item of delivery. Use of the software on more than one system is prohibited.
8.2 The Customer may only copy, transfer or translate the software in a legally acceptable scope (Sec. 69a ff. German Copyright Law (UrhG)) or convert from the object code into the source code. The Customer is obliged to not remove our and/ or the Software Supplier's instructions, especially copyright entries, or to change them without our prior permission.
8.3 All remaining rights to the software and the documentation thereof, including copies, remain with us and/or Software Supplier. Granting of sublicenses is strictly forbidden.
9. Installation
9.1 Installation costs shall be invoiced monthly. Fixed installation prices shall only apply to the installation work as far as agreed upon.
9.2 As far as required the Customer shall be responsible for providing the following at his own expense: lighting, motive power, compressed air, water, electrical power for welding, heating including any required connections, electrical installations for the connection of the products delivered by us, the required devices (e.g., hoisting equipment), a lockable room for storing material, tools and clothing during the installation.
10. Spare Parts, Maintenance/Repair
10.1 For spare parts, maintenance, and repair our current repair and replacement price list shall apply.
10.2 In case we have an obligation to maintain/deliver spare parts, the obligation shall be limited to a period of five years from the date of delivery of the products. As far as spare parts are not manufactured by us or are no longer available on the market, e.g. electrical components, or as far as raw materials required for spare part production are no longer available, our obligation to supply spare parts shall be void.
10.3 Any servicing and/or calibration service shall only be performed upon presentation of a proper and duly signed declaration on the absence of health hazards.
11. Legal reservation, Industrial proprietary rights, secrecy
11.1 We reserve ownership in any of the tools, moulds, samples, diagrams, commercial or technical documents produced or provided by us as well as all copyrights, proprietary and intellectual property rights in any such item. This also applies if the corresponding costs are wholly or partly borne by the Customer. The Customer may use any of the above only as agreed to in writing. The Customer may neither manufacture nor have manufactured subjects of this agreement without our prior written approval.
11.2 If we deliver products according to designs or other requirements specified by the Customer (models, samples etc.), the Customer shall be liable by default for eventual infringements of industrial property rights or other rights of third parties by manufacturing and delivery of such products. He shall be obligated by default to provide compensation for all damages resulting from such legal infringements.
11.3 All information acquired through the business relationship with us which is not deemed to be public knowledge shall be deemed proprietary and may not be disclosed to any third party.

FULTON -- A Fulton man was arrested Friday for refusing to let a victim leave his home for two days.
Deputies say Richard M. Meers, 41, allegedly refused to let a victim leave his home on Jones Road for two days and threatened the victim with a steak knife and tied the victim's hands behind the victim's back with a rope. He allegedly forced the victim to sleep the living room while he slept between the victim and the door.
When Meers exited the residence, police say the victim reportedly locked Meers out of the home. Meers allegedly kicked the door open to gain access to the home, damaging the door, at which point the victim was able to escape to a neighbor's home and call 911.
The victim was named in an existing order of protection.
Meers was arrested Friday and is charged with felony criminal contempt, misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment, and misdemeanor menacing.
Meers was arraigned at the Town of Granby Court and remanded to the Oswego County Correctional Facility in lieu of $1,500 cash bail or $3,000 bail bond. He is scheduled to return to court on October 22.

WASHINGTON — A group of business CEOs is pushing a plan to gradually increase the full retirement age to 70 for both Social Security and Medicare and to partially privatize the health-insurance program for older Americans.
The Business Roundtable's plan would protect those 55 or older from cuts, but younger workers would face significant changes. The plan unveiled yesterday would result in smaller annual benefit increases for all Social Security recipients. Initial benefits for wealthy retirees would also be smaller.
Medicare recipients would be able to enroll in the traditional program or in private plans that could adjust premiums based on age and health status.
"America can preserve the health and retirement safety net and rein in long-term spending growth by modernizing Medicare and Social Security in a way that addresses America's new fiscal and demographic realities," said Gary Loveman, chairman, president and chief executive of casino giant Caesars Entertainment Corp.
Loveman, who chairs the Business Roundtable's health and retirement committee, said the business leaders will be meeting with members of Congress and the Obama administration to press them to enact their plan.
The proposal comes as Republican leaders in Congress are calling for spending cuts as part of an agreement to increase the government's authority to borrow. President Barack Obama has said he is willing to negotiate deficit reduction with GOP leaders but insists that those talks be separate from decisions to raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling.
The Business Roundtable is an association of CEOs of some of the largest U.S. companies. The group has been an ally of Obama's in the past, endorsing his proposal to raise taxes on high earners during negotiations over the so-called "fiscal cliff" in December.
Obama has embraced some parts of the business group's plan for Social Security and Medicare, but he opposes any plan to privatize Medicare and has backed away from his earlier support for raising the eligibility age.
The proposal to offer private plans as part of Medicare is similar to a proposal by Republican Mitt Romney when he ran for president last year. Obama and Democrats in Congress campaigned against it, making it unlikely to pass anytime soon.
