Starting with a clear brief is the first step to a successful project, whether that is a website build, a training simulation or any kind of web application. It makes life a lot easier in the long run to get it right first time – and time is money! There are many articles and brief templates out there that are a good starting place, however there a couple of things that seem to always get missed or thought about later on the project that should be considered up front.
So here are Makemedia's suggested top 5 items you may have forgotten to include in your brief.
1, What is your content strategy?
Although it's important to consider what your website will do and who it aimed towards, many brief writers forget to consider the nitty gritty of content. Who will export the content from the old site or who will be writing your new content? Do you need to use an external provider for copy writing or to review SEO quality? Will all the copy be ready by the go live date? What are your deadlines? A web build that is held up by late content is going to eat away at your budget.
2, What is your mobile strategy?
It can be a mistake to jump on the "lets-build-an-app" bandwagon without considering the true needs of your business. Clients need to consider their own unique aims, then how these would be best served. This may be by building an app OR a responsively designed website may serve these needs better. What is essential is that you consider your mobile strategy to extend the relevant life period of your investment and remain competitive.
3, Who is really the decision maker?
If you don't clarify who really has the sign off on the project there is a strong chance you will be wasting your time and budget later on. Imagine the following scenario. The head of department gives a department manger the responsibility to sign off phases of the project. The manager is happy with a phase and signs it off. However, when the head of department sees it later they want changes. To implement the changes at this stage is far more costly than to have done it before the sign off where time is built in for amendments. Either the manager needs to have full culpability for the project or the head of department needs to be identified as the true decision maker.
4, Don't be shy about your budget.
You might not want to give an exact figure but even a ball park range will help to identify that you are approaching the right size of agency and set expectations. Having a full proposal written up for you from an agency that is far too expensive or not well resourced enough to serve your needs will waste time on both sides. The scope of what you want to do could be highly varied with many different possible solutions but a good agency will give you the best possible solution to fit your budget – and they will want to work with you again in future so giving you the best value is in their interest too!
5, Keep aims and objectives clear throughout the development of the scope.
Your brief should communicate clear business objectives and the critical success factors for the project. Anything added to the scope should lead back to these aims. Have a colleague read through your brief to check that it is clear and concise. Are you communicating what you are trying to achieve to a new potential supplier who hasn't got to know the business fully yet? Naturally, a good agency will be practiced in extracting this information but it will save you time during that process. Save even more time by ensuring that your internal team all understand the project aims so you can relax in the knowledge that your team are communicating your needs correctly.
Please do add your tips in the comments!

Bragging points were scarce as health officials updated the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners on its outpatient mental health clinic.
The clinic, recently reassigned from the mental health system to the Health Department, keeps people stable through medication and clinical services. When the clinic's work is hindered, more people end up on the street and in the criminal justice system, and more become inpatients by way of crowded emergency departments.
The clinic is losing money and there's little prospect, or none, that this kind of high-value service to mostly low-income patients will ever become a moneymaker.
It's losing something else, too: personnel. The clinic's medical director was right when, in the fall, he warned that his staff would be lured away. The current total is three clinicians and a child psychiatrist, fleeing their uncertainty about the local impact of state-mandated reform.
There's little the commissioners can do about that. But they did themselves no favors in slam-dunking Commissioner Marshall Faircloth, who wanted only to hold further discussions about a proposal to pare three mental health positions.
One of the workers screens applicants for gun permits against mental health records. In light of this week's top news story, that should be noteworthy. Two others are volunteers.
Maybe other agencies can do the work. But there's that uncertainty again. And Faircloth's concern for those who might "fall through the cracks" did exactly that.
Caution: Learning curve ahead.

Mac's Brewjolais
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010From RealBeer.co.nz:
SOBA, New Zealand's consumer beer advocacy group, is excited about the April 1st release of Mac's Brewjolais seasonal beer, and is looking to celebrate the event in style and en masse.
Mac's Brewjolais is a beer which has been brewed annually by Lion Nathan at the old Mac's Brewery in Wellington. It is brewed to celebrate the hop harvest, and uses freshly picked "wet" (undried) hops from Nelson late in the brewing process to impart their aromatic and distinctive notes to the finished beer. It's a rare type of beer, and one that SOBA believes deserves recognition, particularly when brewed by one of NZ's largest breweries who could be expected to opt for the 'safer' and more commercially viable styles of beer.
SOBA plans to show its appreciation for Brewjolais by organising a synchronised toast to Lion Nathan and the beer at all of the locations it will be served. SOBA members will descend upon the six Mac's Brewbars around the country and raise a glass of the deliciously hoppy beverage to the brewers who make it, and the company which gives them the freedom to push the boundaries of beer a little.
The Mac's brewery in Wellington where Brewjolais has been brewed is being closed down for economic reasons, with Lion Nathan citing higher costs involved in running the smaller scale brewery. This fact makes the 2010 release of Brewjolais bittersweet for beer lovers who fondly remember some of the excellent Mac's beers to roll out of this brewery. While sad to see the brewery go, SOBA is optimistic that the beer will continue to be produced, and hopes its gesture will help convince Lion Nathan to continue production each year.
SOBA was formed in 2006 in order to increase awareness of and appreciation for flavourful crafted beers. The organisation is often perceived as "anti big brewer", but in actuality is simply "pro good beer".
If you appreciate a good beer and want to help celebrate you will be able to do so at one of the following locations:
Northern Steamship Co. – Quay Street, Auckland
Nuffield Street Trading Co. – Newmarket, Auckland
Neighbourhood – Kingsland, Auckland
Shed 22 – Taranaki Street Wharf, Wellington
The Vic – Trafalgar Street, Nelson
Poplar Lane – cnr Ash & Poplar Street, Christchurch
I'm going to be in Christchurch over the next few days and hope to get myself along to Poplar Lane. There will be a synchronised toast at each of these locations at 6pm tomorrow afternoon (Thursday 1 April).

Christiana ambulance seeks tax
Sadsbury board hears plea from association for emergency management services levy Christiana ambulance seeks tax
Directors of the Christiana Community Ambulance Association on Feb. 5 told Sadsbury Township supervisors the ambulance company is in danger of closing without the solid annual funding that could be provided from an emergency management services tax.
"We need financial support or we're not going to have a local ambulance," said Hank Oleyniczak of the association's board of directors.
Oleyniczak said skyrocketing payroll costs left the association with an $89,000 deficit at the end of 2012.
"This is 100 percent driven by the fact that we don't get volunteers anymore and we have to pay staff," Oleyniczak said. He said that extensive, legally required EMS training has changed emergency ambulance work from a community service to a profession.
There are now only eight volunteers who help the organization provide round-the-clock service, and payroll expenses were $340,077 of the association's total budget of $485,334 in 2012.
The ambulance association maintains two basic life support ambulances, one from its Pine Creek Drive base and one that is parked in Bart Township. A Christiana ambulance was first on the scene at the Nickel Mines School shooting.
"It's not a sales-driven business, it's an as-needed service," explained Rick Ely of the association's board of directors.
According to the organization's profit-and-loss statement, income is derived from subscriptions, donations and medical insurance payments following calls.
"There is no way to increase our cash flow," Ely said, adding that volunteers have begun to hold fundraisers beyond the annual subscription drive.
Supervisor Eugene Lammey said he was not surprised by the request.
"I've been waiting for the time for you to say we need help," Lammey said. "It's something we should look at for next year."
Supervisor Linda Swift said a per-capita tax is difficult to track because of rental units.
Oleyniczak said the ambulance company is technically supposed to receive part of a municipality's fireman's relief fund, but that money is also needed by the fire company.
"If we take money from the fire company, they can't do their job," he said.
The ambulance association answered 152 calls last year in Sadsbury Township. That was 14 percent of the company's 1,088 total calls.
Oleyniczak suggested a $12,500 contribution from Sadsbury Township, which is equal to 14 percent of the ambulance company's $89,000 deficit.
"We'll see what we can do," said Lammey, noting that how to help the ambulance company will be an ongoing discussion in the coming months.
Supervisors also said its road crew has installed speed bumps and traffic calming signs on Pine Creek Drive in response to resident complaints about cars and buggies speeding and failing to stop.
"We've taken some action that will get folks talking," Supervisor Greg Esh said.
"For the time being, let's leave them out there and see what happens," Lammey said.
Roadmaster Bill Davis told supervisors he had found a company willing to take down the last remaining farm bridge over the Enola rail-trail. Supervisors unanimously approved allowing Bill Morrison of Morrison Estimating to remove the bridge and use it for scrap.
Supervisors have said in the past year that they would consider opening the trail for public use when the bridge -- which they consider a safety liability for trail users -- is gone.
In another matter, supervisors said the road crew should proceed with making necessary repairs to Meetinghouse Road before abandoning the road and turning ownership back to two property owners.
The board also approved a health insurance change for Swift, who also serves as township secretary.

This whole "war on terrorism" / Iraq / 9-11 / UN "irrelevence" / oil / protest / etc. situation has got me thinking: What are our true goals, and what are the best way to achieve these? Now...this is how I work through this logically, without patriotism, without anger, without passion.
I would like to think that our goal is for peace. if this is the case, then I assume we want our allies to like us, and to no longer have any enemies.
The first part of this is quite easy: if you show respect to them, enter into treaties and negotians with them as an equal partner, and deal fairly with allies, they should like you. It's all about figuring out ways that you can mutually benefit.
The second part is a bit more complicated. To me it seems logical that killing people makes you more, not less enemies. Since you cannot (and should not) kill all of your enemies' childeren, friends, family, etc., you will only cause more enemies to be created through violence. We all know that one of the reasons we are attacked in the first place, is because we have already killed so many people (millions due to attacks and sanctions, in the case of Iraq, alone). Plus, since we live in a supposedly civilized world, where murder is the paramount of moral evil, it seems as though killing should be avoided. Furthermore, killing doesn't come cheap these days, so maybe we could save a few bucks for our schools, parks and public programs by avoiding some bomb building.
Well, if you're not going to bomb all your enemies off the face of the planet...how should you deal with them? Well, in the case of foreign policy, I think that the first logical step would be to figure out why you have enemies in the first place. It seems as though there are a lot of people out there that truly hate the US. How many people in the US can say that they have any idea as to why this is? Few, I imagine. Our leaders like to tell us that it is just some insane, religious zealots...but we all know better than that. I think that the answers are probably best found in our history.
So, looking at our history (and I'm not talking about you 8th Grade school version), we can find lots of things that might make people hate us. We have killed for money more times than we can count. We have supported evil regimes and overturned good ones. We have polluted the Earth (which we should all be sharing) way more than everybody else combined. We have assasinated leaders, we have deceived nations, we have stolen and raped. Our last fifty years alone can provide us with infinite examples of all these attrocities. These seem like they might cause some people to hate us...the children of those whose lives we've ruined.
But, nobody likes to look at history. It's too academic, and few people like gathering information from books. It it's not on the History Channel, it doesn't seem to make an impact. Everytime I hear "patriots" defend their beloved country's attrocities, I pray that they would go back and read the amazing philophies of 18th Century Enlightenment on which their country was founded...Rousseau, Voltaire, Descartes, etc. Their ideas on human liberty go so contrary to these cries for torture, these unprovoked attacks on foreign nations, etc. Jefferson and Franklin must be rolling in their graves.
But I digress...
Why else would we be hated? People hate us so much that they are willing to sacrifice their lives to see harm come to us. That is a lot of hate. Aside from historical reasons, there must be contemporary ones. For this, we must look to foreign policy. Nobody likes a bully, yet our foreign policy-makers are the world's biggest bullies. The key trait to a bully is that he acts like he is better than everybody else, and has the right to push others around, and not be pushed himself. It is this belief in being above the rules that makes bullies so terrible. Yet, in our foreign policy dealings, we often seem to place ourselves above the rules and surrounding society. Whether it is going along with a UN vote, signing the Kyoto accords, participating on a conference on racism (only the US and Israel left), owning terrible weapons of destruction, etc., etc. We seem to feel like we can tell others what to do, but have no ear for them telling us what we should do. We feel like we can bomb other states, but how dare anybody bomb us. Nobody likes a bully who thinks they have the right to live outside the rules of decency, yet feels the right to push others around. I could see why we might be hated for our current arrogance.
I always love John Lennon's (or was it Yoko's?) quote: "What if there was a war, and nobody showed up?" Indeed, this would be an easy reality. All it would take is for nobody to attack anybody else. Pre-emptive strikes on other countries have long been seen as wrong. Iraq has no way of pre-emptively striking us...so we can't even use the old, "We're getting them first, 'cause they're about to get us" excuse. Yet, somehow, the people here have become convinced that our policy should include pre-emptive strikes...how strange. (My mom taught me only to fight in self defense...)
Perhaps we're also hated for our material imperialism, our cultural imperialism, our unfair trade practices, our unfair immigration practices. Maybe some people hate us for playing favorites...supporting nations that are far more evil than some of those we don't support. (Guess who the number one and number 2 countries are at the top of the "Defying UN resolutions" list? America's allies, Israel and Turkey).
So...since our original goal was to create peace (which includes not having people fly planes into our buildings), and since we'd like to do it with as little bloodshed as possible (since this is the only way to make it permanent), I would think that what we would be spending our time and energy on is making people hate us a little less. And, maybe putting McDonalds on all of their blocks isn't the best way to do this. Perhaps, sitting with them, asking for their grievences (and giving them ours), and finding solutions, so that we can like each other, would be a better, less bloody, more effective way to achieve our goal of world peace. Maybe, stopping our empiriacal, violent, and relatively evil escapades abroad could make everybody get along. Maybe then, we could save trillions of dollars in military spending, and solve some of our own problems.
In logical terms...the problem is: we don't want to get attacked. Why do we get attacked? Because we are hated. Therefore, if we are less hated, we'll get less attacked.
Hawks try to tell us that we solve the problem by destroying the haters. Yet...if this in turn causes more haters to be created (and i think that polling across nations of the world prove this to be true), then we are not solving the problem. We are solving an immediate symptom, but further enlarging the cause.
Now, before you dismiss me as a peacenik or naive optimist (of which I am neither), I want to know where the break in logic is here.
Of course, since the US is doing exactly the opposite of what I suggest. Since we are creating more enemies, creating more bloodshed, losing more friends, betraying the principles that founded this country, and creating less peace...I think that maybe our goal is not for peace. So the real question is: what is the goal we are pursuing...and is it right?

"The treatment of sharks in the media and popular culture has been historically rather harsh. A new study from Michigan State University reveals that this negative image is affecting their survival.
The findings of this study, published in the current issue of Conservation Biology, reviewed worldwide media coverage of sharks and found that the majority isn't good.
News articles from the U.S. and Australia are more likely to focus on negative reports and shark attacks rather than conservation efforts, and according to the study, allowing such articles to dominate the media coverage diverts attention from key issues. Such issues include declining worldwide shark populations and certain species that are facing extinction, says Meredith Gore, MSU assistant professor of fisheries and wildlife and the School of Criminal Justice."

Richard Ross was an architect of Gov. John Kasich's proposed funding formula for public schools.
Gov. John Kasich's education adviser could become the next superintendent of Ohio public schools.
Richard A. Ross, currently director of the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education and an architect of Kasich's proposed funding formula for public schools, has applied to succeed Stan Heffner as the state's full-time superintendent for public instruction. The post — think of it as chief executive for schools — has been run on an "acting" basis by Michael L. Sawyers since Heffner resigned in August amid alleged ethical violations and misconduct.
It is up to the 19-member state Board of Education to hire a superintendent, but the governor appoints eight of the state board members and has input. Sawyers also has applied, according to a Department of Education spokesman.
"After more than 35 years of working in education, I am excited to continue my work with the boys and girls of Ohio, and I hope I'm favorably considered," Ross said in a statement, confirming his application.
Ann Jacobs, a Republican and elected school board member from Lima who's been at odds with Kasich, said "of course" Ross will be hired "because he's a Kasich guy."
The candidate search and vetting process is being led by the firm Ray and Associates of Iowa. The deadline to apply was yesterday, and it wasn't immediately known who else applied. An associate of the firm said more than 30 people had applied.
The Kasich administration made at least one move — and possibly more — to clear the way for Ross to become superintendent.
Robert D. Sommers, who at the time held the position within Kasich's administration now held by Ross, was a finalist to be superintendent in 2011 but withdrew his name on advice from Kasich's legal counsel that the state's "revolving door" law would have prohibited him from interacting with Kasich's office for 12 months if he became superintendent.
Team Kasich added language to Senate Bill 314 last year clarifying that someone like Ross (or in the previous case, Sommers) could in fact interact with Kasich's office on behalf of another state agency without violating ethics laws.
Also, Jason Rafeld, then chief legal counsel for the Bureau of Workers Compensation, moved to the Department of Education in October to serve as chief of staff despite uncertainty over who would be his boss (as superintendent) in the long term.
The state school board could make its choice for a new superintendent in March.
Dispatch reporter Catherine Candisky contributed to this story.

middle name for Zoey?
DH and I have recently fallen in love with the name Zoey. We love the "spunky" feel it has, but can't think of a middle name that pairs well with Zoey and our 4 letter, 1 syllable last name (it rhymes with Bone). I've always wanted to pass down my middle name, Claire, but I feel as though it sounds too short and abrupt with our last name. Any suggestions on middle names and/or other first names with the same feel would be greatly appreciated!!
Also wondering everyone's opinions on Zoe vs. Zoey. I almost always lean towards traditional spellings, but I think the extra letter would look better with our short last name.

I think Zoey Claire sounds good. I've always preferred Zoe to Zoey, but for some reason right now (with your description of it as "spunky") I am liking the y.
While Zoey Claire sounds good, I think Zoey Claire Bone is choppy. Also suddenly Zoey Claire is sounding like Zo-eclair to me.

Thank you for pointing the eclair sound! I hadn't even realized that but you are so right. Of the suggestions listed, I like Simone the most....but then I realized it rhymes with our last name so that is a definite no. This might be harder than I thought...

Bit errors don't magically limit themselves to floating point values. They can affect anything stored in memory including pointers, indexes, bitmaps, and code. Debugging software on broken hardware is not fun. Non-ECC is great for systems where the expectation of getting the right answer is not particularly high and the consequence of failure is not too bad.

In easily their biggest win of the season the USF Bulls held on for a thrilling 66-64 win over Alabama Saturday night at the Sun Dome.
The Bulls held an eight-point lead with 2:30 remaining but the Tide kept making shots, forcing USF to hit its free throws in the final minute. Anthony Collins was 5-for-5 until missing with :10 left, giving Alabama the chance to win. However three shots, including one wide-open three for the lead, went awry.
John Egbunu swatted away Levin Randolph's layup try, but Shannon Hale -- who had just hit a three to make it 65-64 -- failed from three and Randolph's 15-foot jumper drew air.
Victor Rudd had 15 points and seven rebounds while freshman Chris Perry had 14 points and 14 boards in an impressive inside performance. Corey Allen and Musa Abdul-Aleem, who hit a couple of big 3's off the bench, scored nine apiece.
After missing his first five tries from three-point land, Rudd nailed one to put the Bulls ahead 58-52 with 3:30 left and Chris Perry's follow extended the lead to eight on the next possession. But Trevor Releford, who scored 17 points before fouling out, had back-to-back scores on the next two possessions and a USF turnover against Bama's press made for the frantic finish.
Alabama had used a 9-0 run to take a 44-40 lead, but the Bulls would go on an 8-0 stretch of their own to answer.
Egbunu had three blocks and Collins dished out nine assists including several alley-oops. Both players had seven points.
USF is now 6-2 on the season.

This was very good and got a thumbs up from my meat-loving husband, too! I had plenty of late summer tomatoes from my garden so I replaced the can of Italian diced tomatoes with two fresh tomatoes, chopped and added about a teaspoon of Italian seasoning. I will definitely be making this again!

MERIDEN, Conn. -- A $100 million claim on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor is the first legal action to come out of the Connecticut school shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead two weeks ago.
The unidentified client, referred to as Jill Doe, heard "cursing, screaming and shooting" over the school intercom when the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, according to the claim filed by New Haven-based attorney Irv Pinsky.
Pinsky's claim said that the state Board of Education, Department of Education and education commissioner had failed to take appropriate steps to protect children from "foreseeable harm."

UPS Chairman and CEO Scott Davis took a moment today to lament the failure of the shipping giant's largest ever acquisition attempt.
Speaking on his quarterly conference call, Davis wasted no time before getting to the difficult topic of TNT Express, which UPS formally withdrew yesterday.
"It would be an understatement to say we're disappointed by the decision of the European commission to block the acquisition," Davis said. "UPS essentially put all hands on deck to get this deal done over the last year. I'd like to thank the many UPSers around the world who worked tirelessly on this project."
He said he viewed the transaction as a "compelling platform" and said the deal "consumed a lot of internal resources" that now can return to other work, including key customer relationships
"We are moving on," he said.
UPS had said when it agreed to the $7 billion deal last March that it didn't expect any issues on European reviews, so the extended review and ultimate decision to reject the deal caught the company by surprise.
But Davis isn't running away from M&A forever, no matter how scarred he is. When asked later on the call, he said he still plans to expand in Europe, adding while TNT "would've helped us get there faster, there's still all kinds of opportunity for us."
"We will of course continue to pursue growth opportunities, both organic and through acquisitions," Davis said. "Our financial strength enables UPS to evaluate future prospects as well as continue to invest in our portfolio."

Yep, the Intrepid Fox is still going strong. We used to meet up at the Ben Crouch Tavern, just off Oxford Street but we're going for another of the errie pubs for the London meet up this time. Come along there's a separate thread for it in Settlement.

But the Intrepid Fox is nasty! Also, I don't think it opens quite that early, I have a vague memory of it being closed late morning/early afternoon.
I think the Ben Crouch Tavern might be a good idea for this event, as it's reasonably close to Tottenham Court Road, so not too far to Forbidden Planet.
Or there's always the Conservatory, which is where book signings used to be held, way back when FP was still on New Oxford Street, but it probably has higher beer prices than the pubs.Drum Bitch Extraordinaire... http://www.facebook.com/SysFX

JACKSONVILLE -- The man who authorities say masterminded a scam to use a veterans charity as a front for an illegal gambling operation worth nearly $300 million was a well-known attorney who once ran a marathon in a suit as a publicity stunt.
Jacksonville attorney Kelly Mathis was identified Wednesday by authorities as the man at the center of the alleged racketeering scheme. Two other men charged as co-conspirators had experience running gaming parlors, including Johnny E. Duncan, who was charged more than 20 years ago with creating a fake charity to sponsor bingo gaming, which allowed the games to operate tax-free. The other man, Jerry Bass, had previously worked as general manager of a video poker parlor in South Carolina.
Authorities say Mathis made about $6 million from the operation. During a news conference Wednesday, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi unveiled a poster with a photo of Mathis, linked to dozens of alleged gambling operations. Officials say he was the registered agent for 112 businesses related to the investigation, which was handled by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Nearly 60 people have been arrested so far.
"Kelly Mathis ... appears to be the commonality of those who were arrested," Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey said.
The organization under investigation — Allied Veterans of the World — ran more than 40 Internet parlors offering computer games of chance, until this week.
Authorities said the organization's executives gave precious little to veterans and lavished millions on themselves, spending it on boats, real estate and Maseratis, Ferraris and Porsches.
Bondi called the alleged scam "callous" and "despicable" and said it "insults every American who ever wore a military uniform."
The scandal has led to the resignation of Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, a Republican who once co-owned a public relations firm that worked for Allied Veterans. She has not been charged with any wrongdoing, but she resigned a day after she was questioned by investigators. She said she didn't want her ties to the organization to be a distraction for Republican Gov. Rick Scott's administration and that she was cooperating with the probe.
Meanwhile, news reports of the investigation sent shock waves Wednesday through the Jacksonville legal community, in large part because Mathis is a well-known lawyer. The city's Fraternal Order of Police president and vice president — both police officers — were also caught up in the arrests.
Mathis, 49, is the past president of the Jacksonville Bar Association. He headed the group about six years ago, according to Ray Driver, the current president.
"It's unfortunate that a member of our profession is swept up in this," Driver said. "I've always thought that Kelly was a very nice guy. Very professional."
Unlike membership in the state Bar, which is mandatory for lawyers, the Jacksonville group is voluntary.
Driver said Mathis' presidency of the group did not overlap with his tenure as Allied Veterans' registered agent.
A security guard Wednesday turned an Associated Press reporter away at the entrance to the Jacksonville gated community where Mathis lives, 1.5 miles from the exclusive Deerwood Country Club. The attorney's 7,890-square-foot home on Riding Club Road has five bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Duval County records show Mathis bought it in September 2008 for $875,000.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz's political acumen has never been in doubt. Nor has her ambition. At 26, she became the youngest woman ever elected to the Florida Legislature. A decade later, she decided to run for U.S. Congress representing the district around her Weston home — despite having just given birth to her third child. She had two not-very-secret weapons: a war chest of a quarter-million dollars, and a reputation as a dogged campaigner and fundraiser. She went unopposed in the Democratic primary and entered Congress in 2004 at the ripe old age of 37. A few months after her arrival in Washington, Wasserman Schultz emerged as the Democrats' voice of reason in the frenzied debate over whether Terri Schiavo should remain in a vegetative state. She further endeared herself to party leaders in 2006 by helping friend Ron Klein unseat longtime Republican legislator Clay Shaw of Fort Lauderdale. Wasserman Schultz was appointed to the powerful House Committee on Appropriations and was made the party's deputy majority whip, as well as the co-chair of its Red to Blue Program, aimed at converting Republican congressional...

Sony still losing on every PlayStation 3 it sells
Although PlayStation 3 sales have been on the rise and Sony has a rosy outlook for the console's future, it turns out that the company is still losing money on every PlayStation 3 unit it sells.
According to The Wall Street Journal, which examined Sony's fiscal third-quarter financial performance, the company loses 6 cents on "every dollar of PS3 hardware sales." Considering the PlayStation 3 current retails for $300, we can safely assume then, that the company loses about $18 per unit.
Admittedly, losing money on console sales is typical in the gaming industry. But Sony'… Read more

Sean Quinn, formerly Ireland's wealthiest man, has been jailed for failing to comply with a court order.
On Friday, a judge at Dublin's High Court said she had no choice but to sentence the former business tycoon to nine weeks in prison.
In June, he was found guilty of contempt of court, for hiding assets from the former Anglo Irish Bank, but avoided a jail sentence.
In his latest court appearance, Justice Elizabeth Dunne said he had committed a serious contempt of court, which was nothing short of outrageous because of his evasive and unco-operative attitude.
On the eve of his latest court appearence, a grassroots campaign established to support the beleaguered businessman warned the press this week of potential 'civil unrest' if he goes to jail or succumbs to illness as a result of ongoing legal battles.
The group Concerned Irish Citizens (CIC) made its warning as the Irish High Court is set to rule whether the 66-year-old, who has had two heart operations, should be sent to jail for breaking court orders.
CIC says it condemns any acts of violence and vandalism. 'There is civil unrest, but we don't want it exploding in the wrong way,' Patricia Gilheany, secretary of CIC, told the Irish Independent.
Gilheany said CIC has received reports about the 'confirmed signs of trauma, exhaustion and heartbreak' experienced by Quinn, who was formerly Ireland's richest man, and his wife Patricia, at a recent support rally in Ballyconnell, County Cavan.
'Many have also commented that if Sean Quinn or any of his family drop dead from the sheer pressure and stress that they are being subjected to on a daily basis, there will be very serious consequences for their perpetrators and for those who facilitated this horror,' said Gilheany.
The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), which was formerly Anglo Irish Bank, has a visible security detail surrounding its key bank personnel at all court appearances. Last year, a new chief executive appointed to the Quinn Group had his family car completely destroyed by an arson attack at his home in County Meath.
Earlier this month lawyers retained by Sean Quinn told the High Court he wants to purge his contempt, and is willing to cooperate with the former Anglo Irish Bank.
Quinn's companies once employed 5,500 people in Ireland, but now he will be bankrupt into his 70s, Grant added. Quinn also had serious health problems Grant claimed.
Quinn has maintained his denial of being in contempt of court orders restraining stripping of assets, and has appealed the High Court's finding that he was in contempt. The court should defer any decision on jailing Quinn pending that appeal, Grant urged.
I felt the need to clarify my earlier post. I don't want to give the impression that I think all people in Ireland are lawless mucksavages. I have encountered many sincere and friendly people there. For the most part however, they are seriously lacking in decorum, displaying poor manners, foul language, total disrespect for the enviornment in disgarding trash and little common senses when driving. This CIC/ Sean Quinn matter does little to dispel the pithforks and lamps image suggested by an earlier poster.
By the way gobby, I have a friend in San Diego who told me about the animal behavior of groups of Irish J1 visitors about four years ago. She was shocked to hear afterwards of notices pretty much advising 'no Irish'. I believe it was on this site that I read of several incidents in Perth and most recently in Chicago.
Gobby, I find your comparison of supporters of Mr Quinn to people in Deliverance to be hilarios. Because of my work I am a frequent visitor to Ireland and I find it to be a beautiful country with a generally friendly people. I accept your observation however that in general, they have little respect for rules and laws. I often walk from my hotel to the office and am appalled at the amount of trash thrown on sidewalks. I am equally aghast at the amount dog excrement present on the same walkways. I often encounter dogs roaming suburban streets alone despite regulations against this. Take to the roads while there and you witness no respect for speed limits (unless in an area known to be frequented by highway police), no consideration of weather conditions and very aggressive drivers (I recall a US State Department warning to americans visiting Ireland about poor driving habits). I was visiting a few months ago when protests were taking place at, the equivalent here in the states of a city tax being introduced, the household tax. People were being urged by some politicians to refuse to pay it. While I realize that there is no law against it, as a female traveling alone, I am aghast at the lack of decorum displayed by Irish people with their constant use of foul language, even in upmarket hotels, they don't appear to know any better. I could go on about the lack of respect many Irish people have for rules and laws but I think that this threat of retribution to those involved with punishing Mr Quinn for contempt of court undescores gobby's implied suggestion that Ireland is a little like the wild west.
'if Sean Quinn or any of his family drop dead from the sheer pressure and stress that they are being subjected to on a daily basis, there will be very serious consequences for their perpetrators and for those who facilitated this horror'. It would appear that all these Irish mutants need are pitchforks, lamps and some poor dental work. This threat and previous demonstrations in support of Sean Quinn (these backward, lawless inbreds had signs calling for 'Quinn for Taoiseach')could have provided scenes for the movie 'Deliverance'. This is reminiscent of a situation in Tralee courthouse a few years ago where a Listowel man had been sentenced for rape, fifty people shook hands with the guilty party, comiserating with him on his fate. It appears that Irish people are still having difficulty assimilating into civilization and rule of law, further evidenced by the animal behavior of their new emigrants to places like San Diego, Pert, Chicago etc. They should never have been taken from the wild.
The stupid comment posted by Cillowen clearly shows why Hitler was so successful .Unthinking people ,brainwashed by the media .Sean Quinn is an Irish hero ,who created jobs ,did the work of the job creation agencies both North and South ,is the victim of an anti Catholic agenda who do not like " peasents" outside Dublin becoming major employers . No Banker (who never created a single job ) is in jail ! I know Cilliowen never thought deeply about the matter .
he'll be out and about within a matter of days ... that how the golden wonders usually fare.
Looks like a possability the funds have been liberated by a russian style mafia. The only differance being the Irish one are all in Gov.
had the sentence been 9 years i am quite sure the monies would have miraclousy appeasred
No,he should not, the gangsters, banksters and crocked politicians,can claim a false victory over this. The truth will prevail someday.

(Plot credited to CJ1145, in other words I did not create the plot. But I loved it when I read it and wanted to see if anyone else would have interest in roleplaying it with me.)
The year is 2120, and the world is rebuilding from a devastating war that occurred over 50 years ago. The Tarver, a psychopathic alien race from the far end of space invaded Earth with the intent of infusing its population with their own DNA; they would then be integrated into the Tarver population to introduce new immune systems to their species, in an attempt to fight off a growing and deadly disease running rampant.
The Earth's military was overwhelmed, but the world was defended by a group of six teenagers, the Power Rangers Neo-Force, from various countries. They managed to fight off the Tarver, but in the process four of the Rangers, Red, Blue, Green and Black, came to sympathize with their plight. After the war, they had a change of heart, and used their powers to assault the forces of Earth and tried to find a way to summon the Tarver back from space to help them.
It cost the life of the Silver Ranger, but with his help the Pink Ranger, Veronica Baley, defeated her former comrades and froze them in cryo-sleep, in a maximum security prison.
Veronica realizing the possibility that her friends may one day wake back up into the world and once more terrorize the Earth's people, implanted her mind into a computerized AI. Knowing that the chance of her being alive when the threat was awakened was slim, she also created a Android to help with training of the new set of Rangers, she called the Android, Omega 2.
Now, these many years later, still in the midst of reconstruction, a malfunction has shut off the cryo-chambers, and the former Rangers have escaped. They've begun their assault once more, and are seeking out a new device kept secret by the military, developed as a means of communication between them and space expeditions: a beacon, capable of sending messages and displaying hyperspace gravitation beacons to assist in accurate FTL travel. The machine is hidden somewhere within the city of Neo Falls, the capital city of what remains of the human population and the proof of concept of the reconstruction efforts. It is a pristine, thriving city and ill-prepared for the war about to descend upon it.
Now serving as head of the United Nations Reconstruction Division, a crippled Veronica is in no condition to fight off her former friends, still in the prime of their youth. But she knows a way to fight them: to hand the power she once held down to a new generation, a final generation to save the Earth and secure it for all generations to come: create a new squad of Power Rangers. The ultimate Rangers. The Omega Rangers.

Guatemala is the most populous Central American nation and the heart of the Mayan world. It is a country of great beauty and diversity with stunning landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. It is home to 24 languages and at least that many distinct cultures. At the same time, it is a nation with some of the worst development indicators in Latin America. Guatemala's context is defined by the country's complex history: the people of Guatemala have endured a history of dictatorships, coups, and an internal conflict that lasted 36 years and resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 people and almost one million displaced.
Even today, impunity, corruption and lack of justice and discrimination define the challenges of much of Guatemala's population. These factors, typical of a post-conflict society, reinforce the exploitative structures of society and help maintain an unequal social order. Inequalities of income, high levels of violence and lack of access to education are other characteristics of Guatemala's context.
The Guatemalan government has attempted to address some of the nation's challenges by empowering local governments and implementing social programming to benefit the poor. These steps have been effective, but are still insufficient in fulfilling the rights of Guatemala's citizens. Consistent with the nation's context and history, those whose rights are most likely to remain unfulfilled are indigenous people living in rural areas and particularly females.
"My dad is in agriculture and my mom stays at home. My community doesn't have any options after sixth grade." – Dina, age 13
"My dad is in agriculture and my mom stays at home. My community doesn't have any options after sixth grade."
Poverty affects children more acutely than it affects adults, and can limit a child's potential for self-development as an adult. ChildFund's analyses have found that in Guatemala, poverty manifests more acutely at the intersection of three personal characteristics: geography, cultural identity and gender. Children who live in rural areas, identify themselves as indigenous and are female are far more likely to live in poverty than any other group.
To inform its strategic planning, ChildFund Guatemala employed input from a series of consultation processes carried out with children to complement secondary data. In conclusion, acute poverty is fundamentally located by and large in rural and indigenous communities, where income distribution is extremely low.
An estimated 657,000 boys and girls do not attend school because of a lack of access or because of the cultural acceptance of child labor. Children of Mayan descent are more apt to serve as child laborers where they are often exposed to dangerous substances and are vulnerable to abuse. Guatemala ranks the third highest in child labor statistics among Latin America and Caribbean countries.
We work with community partners to strengthen the quality of education and provide access to learning opportunities for rural children. We also advocate for children's rights to help protect them against the big business of child labor.
"My dad is in agriculture and my mom stays at home. My community doesn't have any options after sixth grade," says Dina, age 13. "I want to continue studying, but my father cannot afford it."
During the last 20 years, youth gangs and drug trafficking have been the root of increased violence and further corruption. We know that violence is considered by many to be the number one concern in many communities.
To help decrease the use of violence to solve conflicts, as well as help reduce the impact of the narcotics trade, our programs emphasize life skills development and child and youth protection.
ChildFund Guatemala has decided that the most appropriate role to play in today's Guatemalan society is as an agent of social change that seeks the creation of the necessary enabling conditions for protecting and promoting children's rights.
ChildFund programs will empower participants to make decisions that go against the social norms that reinforce deprivation, vulnerability and exclusion. Areas of focus include:
ChildFund Guatemala will ensure the integral development and protection of rural indigenous children, with an emphasis on girls. It also will work in partnership with schools, communities and partners to develop children's critical thinking, logic and self-confidence. It will achieve this through healthy behaviors, confident communication and active participation. In addition, ChildFund Guatemala will develop and strengthen competencies for life in youth that promote cultural identity, citizenship and economic independence.
Sponsor a child in Guatemala and make a difference in a child's life.

Classic Car News
Miura-esque paint for new Lambo
Image: Craig Howell, 2010
The Lamborghini Miura was originally introduced in 1966 and went on to provide the inspiration for a whole new genre of sports cars.
Although just 764 examples were built between its launch and its demise in 1972, its long lasting impact on the market has made it an icon and it remains a highly collectible classic, earning big bucks whenever a sale crops up.
The Lamborghini Miura was even partially resurrected back in 2006, when a concept car based on its retro styling was given its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, to mark the 40th anniversary of its arrival.
While this did not result in a new version of the Miura going into production, you can at least see some of its legacy in the brand new Aventador LP700-4 Roadster.
This car will be available in a colour known as Azzuro Thetis, which is directly linked to the hue that was applied to the Miura Roadster back in 1968.
This car will cost upwards of $400,000 when it hits the road, so it might be cheaper to actually seek out a classic Miura for sale, rather than invest in its high end, modern equivalent.

[Beowulf] wulfware update...

In case anybody on list currently cares, I spent the weekend repackaging the wulfware suite (not to be confused with the warewulf suite:-): xmlsysd, libwulf, wulfstat, wulflogger, and wulf2html (previously wulfweb). They are now in a single source tree in a single source rpm or tarball, which builds rpms for each of these packages all at once. I also worked on making wulf2html into a chkconfig controllable service. Basically, if you install it and configure it (edit scripts and the wulfhosts file in /etc/wulfware) on a system that can write to webspace, you can chkconfig it on and it will automatically start up on boot. It's probably not the most robust application of this sort ever written yet but it works automagically for me -- it comes up with a page that shows localhost only by default. This repackaging should make it easier to develop UIs in a single tree that also contains the library, even on systems that don't have the rpms installed. It was a bit of a pain to work on the library and a UI for testing it at the same time. Hopefully this will facilitate my work (long suspended) on gwulfstat. The new one-stop shop link is: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/wulfware.php and the old links have gone away. I bumped the revision numbers to a notch above the highest number in the collective tree so that the rpms can be dropped into a yum repo and update happily -- from now on all numbers will advance together as a unit. rgb -- Robert G.

MAYFIELD, Ky. — Teenagers aren't supposed to love their hometown.
Between teenage angst, and plans for college, the stereotype has them busting to get out.
But Mayfield High School senior Madison Crooks crows about her community, and credits it as one of her motivating forces.
"I've gone to Mayfield my entire life," Crooks said. "Since I was in kindergarten, so I'm red and black, Cardinal No. 1 fan through and through ... and I just love getting involved."
When getting involved includes being a varsity cheerleading captain, and a four-year varsity softball player, all while holding down a 3.8 grade point average, it lands you as Teen of the Week.
Crooks, daughter of Kenneth and Deborah Crooks, is the Murray State University Teen of the Week. Each Thursday, the Sun features a different MSU Teen of the Week selected from nominees submitted by high school guidance counselors in western Kentucky and southern Illinois.
In May, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners, earning a $5,000 scholarship to MSU.
Teen of the Week is part of the Sun's Newspaper in Education program.
Crooks' enthusiasm, and overall engaging demeanor, is what stood out to Lynn Henderson, acounselor at Mayfield High School.
"It has more to do with Madison as a person," Henderson said.
"She has all the qualities of a Teen of the Week, but it's who she is that makes her stand out."
Crooks has a theme throughout her high school career of showing as much proficiency in the classroom as she does with sports, and interest in the town.
She's a distinguished CATS student from 2006-2008, which means she scored at high levels on standardized tests.
The dark-haired Mayfield native can detail the football rivalry between her school and Paducah Tilghman High School dating back to 1911. "But the Graves County rivalry is a big one now, too," she said.
She's as proud of being a Beta Club member for three years as she is of pet- and house-sitting for family friends the past four years.
Her four-year run on the powder-puff team is balanced with her membership in the school's science club.
"I'm one of those people who says, 'All right, let's do this,'" Crooks said. Which is what led her to joining wide-ranging clubs such as Future Business Leaders of America, Interact Club and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Crooks said her plans are to attend college, possibly at Western Kentucky University or at the University of Kentucky.
Her love for all things science, and math, have her mulling a career in nursing.
And her love for all things Mayfield have her thinking she's coming back to the area some day.
"I have a lot of family here," Crooks said. "I know I'll come back and watch the Mayfield-Graves game, the Mayfield-Tilghman game.
"I know I'll come back."
