If one does not wish to be thought of as if they align strongly, if not entirely, with one group then one should post as such.
On second thought, considering your previous posts and the abilities you demonstrate in those it is easy to see that you do not possess the needed abilities to comment in a manner that is clear what your true intentions are.
This is not a right or left issue. The problem most hard working people have with the new normal is we don't like the idea of our government taking our hard earned money and giving it to those who are lazy and will not try to pick themselves up. Disabled and mentally challenged citizens OK but not the baby machines and illegals. I would feel this way even if I were a billionaire and employed thousands of workers. My parents were sharecroppers and worked hard to purchase land and to make their own way without the government's help. This internal desire to be self sustaining cannot be taught in books or delegated by a government it is in your blood from day one and taught by example at home. I believe in helping those in need but let me do it don't take my money in taxes and spread it as you see fit. I can tell by your eloquent words you are an intelligent person but if you agree with the way our country is headed your common sense is less than that of a Billy Goat. I know you will have some preety words to respond with because my quess is either you have never really worked and was born rich or you are one of those who finds ways to take from the government what I send weekly. FYI: I will never change the virtues that have been handed down through the generations and on which this country was founded. May God Bless the USA?

behind the scenes
Behind the Scenes: Syracuse
Year-in, year-out, the Syracuse Orange play one of the most demanding schedules in the country. Amongst a rich tradition of nonconference rivalries, the team also battles it's way through the difficult Big East slate.
Behind the Scenes: Duke at the Mile High Classic
After the timing of the Konica Minolta Big City Classic precluded us from embedding with Duke for their eventual 12-10 win against Syracuse, Inside Lacrosse was able to hang with the Blue Devils as they came out to Colorado to play Denver in the Whitman's Sampler ® Mile High Classic at the end of April.
Behind the Scenes: North Carolina at the Face-Off Classic — Parts 1, 2 and 3
North Carolina ticked one off the checklist on March 10, 2012 when it finally won a game in an NFL Stadium, defeating Princeton, 9-8, in the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic. Luckily Inside Lacrosse was with the team through the weekend's contest to get an intimate look at the Tar Heels' experience. Through practice the day before the game on through the tightly contested battle, IL saw a program that worked and fought hard, but knew how to have a little fun too.
Syracuse vs. Virginia: Behind the Scenes with the Cavaliers, Parts 1, 2 and 3
Not only do players at Virginia and Syracuse circle their yearly clash on the calendar, but most lacrosse fans do to. There is ample reason - the stature and legacy of both programs, the myriad athletes showcasing their skills up and down the field, the at times frenetic pace, the big game environment, the highlight reel goals, the nailbiting finishes, the big-time TV exposure - rarely does this one disappoint.
With that in mind, Inside Lacrosse went down to Charlottesville to take in this great rivalry from a particularly intimate perspective - embedded with the Cavaliers.
From the Archives: Johns Hopkins Behind the Scenes - Road to the Face-Off Classic
With the 2012 Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic this upcoming weekend, Inside Lacrosse took a look back at one of our first Behind the Scenes series. Entering the season with a young but talented team, we followed the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays through a week of games and practices leading up to their date with local rival UMBC in last year's Face-Off Classic.
Behind the Scenes: ESPN and the Final Four
After spending many afternoons embedded with teams as they played pivotal games in their seasons, I pointed my camera in a different direction for the Final Four, taking a look at ESPN's biggest lacrosse broadcast of the season.
Behind the Scenes: MLL Champion Boston Cannons, Parts 1 and 2
Other than a blustery wind still lingering from the previous day's storms, it seemed like the MLL Championship was played in an entirely different climate than the monsoon-soaked semis from the day prior. What could have been a catastrophic weekend weather-wise yielded two polar opposite sessions: play-in games in a tropical storm, followed by a championship bout in nearly idyllic conditions.
Behind the Scenes: Stevenson's CAC Final - Part Two
Check out Part One of this series.
The Stevenson vs Salisbury rivalry at times feels like it can oscilate between a blood feud between bitter rivals and a challenging contest of one-upmanship between two respectful and talented opponents.
Both sides of that were on display last Saturday as the Gulls came to Owings Mills, Md. for the CAC Championship at Stevenson University. Before the game, some players exchanged what seemed friendly or at least respectful hellos, while others exchanged shouts, smack talk, and menacing stares.
The game itself was full of vitriol and taunting at times, but also an immensity of impassioned play. Guys wanted to seize the moment, if not for themselves or their team, than in spite of their opponent. Chants, barbs and general noise spilled forth from both benches. This game did not lack energy.
Behind the lens: IL Art Director Matt Cain on the Clausen/Crotty photo shoot
Inside Lacrosse Art Director Matt Cain photographed Ken Clausen and Ned Crotty when they visited the office earlier this week. We asked the nattily mustachioed gent to write on the experience for us. Enjoy!

Answer information queries. If you are in need of a specific piece of information, we will be glad to try to answer your query. We will use print and online resources in our searches. We also assist patrons with their questions on the use of East European and Cyrillic fonts and keyboards on the Internet.
Identify and lend materials in our collection. Identify libraries that hold materials you need. We will search to find libraries in the U.S. and Western Europe that can lend or copy the title you need if it is not in our collection.
Correct citations. Oftentimes, titles are not fully or correctly cited in the existing bibliographic literature. Our staff are trained to search for the correct form of the citation, ensuring that you get the material you need.
Order materials when possible. If you need a specific title and it is not held in the United States, we will attempt to obtain a copy and make it available to you via interlibrary loan.
Offer a free federally funded service that acts as a clearing house for people seeking information on the Slavic world in the areas of the social sciences and humanities.
Suggest reference materials you might find relevant for your work. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for the completeness or accuracy of Internet information. We do not compile bibliographies on specific topics (see below).

Details. The more specific your explanation of what you are looking for, the better we are able to serve you.
Deadlines. All requests are handled on a first come, first served basis, although requests that have a firm upcoming deadline can usually be worked in. If you must have an answer by a certain date, please indicate that in your request.
Languages. In order for us to locate information that will be useful we must know if there are materials that would not be helpful because of language constraints you might have.
Affiliation. While we welcome queries from everyone, if your question will require the use of interlibrary loan, it is important for us to know if you are not affiliated with an academic institution. We may need to make arrangements with your public library to supply you with the material you need for your research.
Background. In order to make the search as efficient as possible it is important that we not duplicate the work you have already done.
Sources. All users are asked to supply the original source in which they found the citation to the material they are seeking. This saves us a great deal of time in locating and/or ordering material.

The central location for E2E training, feature updates, member feedback and site support
Hi Team,
I'm not able to post questions / answers on E2E using Firefox anymore. I'm currently using version 12.0.
Is it something recognized?
Thanks and regards,
I just posted using Firefox 12. I have found no issue with this.
Can you give any other details/settings possibly?
Can you post using other browsers?
I've had the same problem after the upgrade to the forum software. Before the upgrade, I was able to post with Firefox 3.0.19. After the upgrade, posting would result in the infinite spin or my reply would just disappear. I upgraded to Firefox 11. Same problem. Tried the just released Firefox 12. On occasion, a popup/over would display at the top of the page saying something to the effect, "error occurred, please contact your administrator".
I had to resort to Internet Explorer 9 to reply.
How did you post this question if you are unable to post questions?
Foe - Texas Instruments WW Community Program Manager
Hi all,
naturally I'm using now IE to post here...
Adding details, I'm using Win XP OS and Firefox rev. 12.0.
Any possible advice?
@Norman & @Alberto,
If you could try clearing out your browser cache and let me know if that resolves any of the issues you are experiencing (details on doing here).
If you still experience any issues after that let me know. We have some additional fixes above and beyond that going into place next week which will hopefully fix this for those where clearing browser cache doesn't work.
Sorry for any inconvenience you are currently experiencing.

I had the same problem this week.
After unchecking "remember me", cleaning my caché... everything, I realized the problem was having a "signature" with HTML code. Try chosing post with only "plain text", uncheck "display signatures" and change your signature to something like "--". Not empty.
Obviously, I have not narrowed down all the problem but one among these things helped me. It is NOT browser dependent, as far as I know.
Please click the Verify Answer button on a post if it answers your question! :)
I'm posting from this message from Firefox 11.0. So far, my success rate has been maybe 2 out of 4 with Firefox. With Internet Explorer, 2 out of 2 are good. Might be that I have enountered a failure on IE yet. kazoola's statement of it being browser independent may be true. Clearing the browser cache is not a sure fix. Hit and miss as well.
@kazola and @Norman,
Sorry again to hear about any continued issues you are experiencing. As soon as we have additional fixes in place I will let you know and check back in to make sure we get all issues you are experiencing resolved.
Norman WongAfter the upgrade, posting would result in the infinite spin
Viewing the JavaScript Console in Chrome shows the _TrackSC call in ui.js failing with an unhandled JavaScript error.
Manually editing the ui.js to comment out the call to _TrackSC then allows the post button to work.
today, after cancelling completely cache, the issue is solved.
I'm now posting again from Firefox.
Did you changed configuration?
@Alberto Soattin - Thanks for letting us know
@kazola - We have some additional fixes going into place soon this week that we are hoping resolves all posting issues. I will update this thread once those fixes are in place.
I am also experiencing the "infinite spin" script bug - and it has prevented me from posting since the last update.
Both IE8 and FF6.0.2 are affected.
I can get around it (and, thus, post this) by using the IE "Developer Tools" in script debug mode so that it breaks at the error - then I just step over the offending line!
The error is that a method or property is being used which doesn't exist!
Now, a compiled language would give a compile-time error for that - surely, there must be tools to detect this for a scripting language...?!
Thanks for the feedback and report. We should have this resolved here soon so you don't have to take those extra steps.
We now believe we have this issue resolved. Please let us know if any of you are still experiencing issues.

Written for the Christmas Eve Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at Kings College, Cambridge, The Angels (1994) shares with Harveys earlier liturgical music an essential simplicity, resulting from an intuitive understanding of what sounds work best in the inward-facing choir-stalls and massive acoustics of buildings such as Winchester and Kings. For most of the piece, the humming and vowel sounds produced by half of the choir rotate around the same few pentatonic cluster chords, most of whose notes are in common. The sense of eternal calm that this conveys perfectly illuminates Taylors words, sung by the other half of the choir in a fluid setting which moves between two-part canon and unison. Complexity of texture is reserved for the approach to the climax, where the introduction of contrary motion illustrates the spiralling turn of a dance; homophony returns, however, for the final, hushed repetitions of the word holy.

Toronto's Library creates programming and services to meet the needs of the communities it serves.
Foundation funding enables the Library to provide high impact, specialized programs addressing areas of greatest need such as:
The TD Summer Reading Club is one of Toronto Public Library's free cornerstone programs for children, providing materials and incentives that encourage boys and girls in Toronto and across Canada to keep reading and enjoying books during the long lazy days of summer.
The theme of TD Summer Reading Club 2012 is Imagine and encourages children to read whatever and whenever they'd like this summer; and through reading, become whoever they want and go wherever their imagination takes them. They will have their heads in the clouds reading tales and novels set in fantasy worlds where strange, magical creatures mix with robots and other fantastical machines.
Kids can register for free and receive a poster and activity book, and a sticker with a secret code for every book they read during the summer. There are nine stickers to collect, and the secret codes unlock reading rewards on the TD Summer Reading Club website.
To find out more about the TD Summer Reading Club and how kids can join, drop in to your local branch, pick up a copy of the July-August What's On, or visit the official TD Summer Club website.
With the Sun Life Financial Museum and Arts Pass (MAP), you and your family can explore the best of Toronto's arts and cultural treasures for free.
With a valid adult Toronto Public Library card, you can borrow a MAP for your family at any Toronto Public Library branch. The pass provides full admission to a family of up to two adults and five children (admission restrictions vary by venue) to:
• Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)
• The Bata Shoe Museum
• Black Creek Pioneer Village
• Gardiner Museum
• Museum of Inuit Art
• Textile Museum of Canada
• City of Toronto's Historic Museums
As well, the following passes are available at select library branches
• Casa Loma
• Ontario Science Centre
• Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)
NEW: Now we're bringing the museums to you! On Saturdays in October and November, library branches around the city will host family events featuring activities and exhibits from Toronto's museums.
For more information about the Sun Life Financial Museum and Arts Pass, or about the MAP Family Saturday Program, please click here.
Ready for Reading at Toronto Public Library is founded on extensive research into the importance of key skills and principles in building reading readiness in preschool children between birth and five years of age. It is adapted from the America Library Association's Every Child Ready to Read program.

EDMONTON - Shorter days and chillier nights make some of us feel like satisfying our appetites with heartier carnivorous fare.
Perhaps it goes back to our hunter-gatherer days when, come fall, the men went out to slay beasts, whose summer-fattened carcasses could feed entire villages for the coming winter.
Today, some people are still thrilled by the autumn hunt, pursuing such game as deer, elk and moose. The rest of us just love the flavour of lean game meats, and prefer to pass on the sport. We hunt instead for dining establishments that serve it up on the wild side, or just fire up the slow cooker or barbecue at home.
Guy Houde, general manager of Rocky Mountain Game Meats (wildgamemeats.com), in Calgary, knows not everyone immediately thinks about cooking and serving game meats, especially in Alberta where beef reigns supreme.
"Out here, people are slow to make a change to game," says Houde, an avid hunter and angler.
As Houde hands me a plate of a delicious, sautéed wild boar sausage with sage and cranberries, he notes that he's seeing more consumers buying game meats as the province becomes more ethnically diverse.
The recent massive beef recall has inspired some people to take a look at adding game meat to their cooking repertoires. Equally important, though, are the health benefits of game.
According to the Livestrong.com website, a three-ounce portion of cooked venison has 134 calories, with three grams of total fat. The same portion of trimmed beef has 247 calories and 15 grams of fat. That absence of fat comes from the fact these animals are free range, get lots of exercise and choose what they eat, says Houde.
Rocky Mountain Game Meats, Alberta's largest distributor, mainly supplies high-end restaurants, such as Calgary's La Chaumiere, Q Haute, Sky 360 and the Post Hotel in Lake Louise. But customers can also walk in and order game meats, ranging from elk to wild boar, rabbit and caribou, and standards like chicken and beef. You can also find game meats at farmers markets in Edmonton and Calgary.
Chefs like Q Haute's Michele Aurigemma always have a place for game meats, such as venison and elk, on their menus. Q Haute has a sublime version of venison served with a hint of chocolate and a cauliflower risotto on the menu.
Aurigemma recommends wrapping lean game cuts in pancetta or rubbing the meat with lard to infuse it with a little fat. He also likes to mix game cuts with dried fruits, such as figs, sultana raisins or cherries.
"We tend to add an acid component, such as balsamic vinegar and it cuts the leanness of the meat — a sweet and sour kind of thing."
It's also important not to overcook game meat. They are best served medium rare to retain the juiciness, says Houde.
Chef Larry Stewart at Edmonton's Hardware Grill is also a big fan of game meats. And so are his patrons, who love the taste of elk.
"We always have duck and elk consistently on the menu," Stewart says. He's partial to pairing meats or cuts in one dish, such as elk and beef (see recipe below) or duck breast with duck sausage.
Then there's the flip side of the game meat business. That's where Noel Jervis of Ryan's Meats (ryansmeats.com) in Calgary comes in. Ryan's Meats butchers and processes hunters' catches.
"The fall is nuts around here," Jervis says, noting they process (cut and wrap) 1,200 wild game carcasses in three months.
That's a lot of meat. But Jervis notes that if a hunter doesn't want the entire animal, recent provincial health and safety regulation changes permit wild game meats to be donated to the Edmonton and Calgary food banks.

25 mL (2 tablespoons) black-currant jelly
Grind 5 mL (1 teaspoon) rosemary with coriander seeds and garlic with a mortar and pestle to make a paste, then stir in 2 mL (1/2 teaspoon) oil.
Pat venison dry and put in a bowl, then rub with paste. Season well with pepper, then cover and chill 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 230 C (450F).
Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot, then add remaining 5 mL (1 teaspoon) oil, tilting skillet to coat evenly. Season venison well with salt, then brown, turning once, about 6 minutes total.
Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast venison until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into centre registers 51.6 C (125°F), 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate and cover tightly with foil.
Add wine and cherries to skillet and deglaze by boiling over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Stir together broth, water, cornstarch, and remaining 2 mL (1/2 teaspoon) rosemary in a bowl and add to skillet. Simmer, stirring, until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in jelly and salt and pepper to taste.
Cut venison into 6 mm- (1/4-inch) thick slices and serve with sauce. (Serves 2)

Best map puzzle out there!
I bought this as a present for my 2 1/2 year old grandson. He already knows where most of the States go and has learned some of their names. The "voice" is easy to understand, and the puzzle pieces store neatly inside. A great product!Miracle worker!
I teach 1st grade. One of the hardest things for the children to grasp is geography. I ordered a few different maps to try and help, but this one has been the most productive! When they place the state in the right place it says the capital and state nickname. The kids have been learning their states and capitals much quicker, and they are enjoying it!

KARA only get paid $116 USD a month + Gyuri to attend press conference Feb 10th
The agency and Kara are having issues because it was claimed that the members only received 130,000 won which is roughly 116 USD each.
On a program aired on MBC yesterday the 30th of January used "JYJ and Kara why would they?" to spotlight the issues between companies and their respective artists. This program had three members of Kara (Han Seung Yeon, Nicole, and Kang Ji Young) and a lawyer (Home Myung Ho) from Landmark. The lawyer said that "I understand the terms of the contract now after reading it, the members and their parents still don't have an exact idea." He continued that they did not know what the obligations were. He also revealed that when the company signed with Japanese labels, they keep around 273 million won (roughly $244,062 USD). The members have not received any of that payment and had no idea that the company was taking the money while signing the contracts.
The lawyer continued to state that although "Jumping" made about 400 million won, around 397 million won was labeled as expenses. He finished by saying that one member earning $116 a month was very hard to understand.
DSP Entertainment acknowledged that there were disagreements with the revenue-sharing. They said that they told the members they are take a little more because they are in the process of adjusting. Artists also make money from various endorsements so that is why the miscellaneous expense will be larger from the revenues sharing of the music aspect.
Netizens felt that more than 99% of earnings deducted to expenses seemed to be wrong. Also they felt that it was wrong for the companies to not explain the contracts in detail when the families did not completely understand them.
Hello Kpop
Yahoo! Korea
Gyuri has participated in voice dubbing for the animation, "Alpha and Omega" and on the 10th of next month, she will attend the movie opening premiere at Wangsimni CGV, Seoul. This is the first event that Gyuri officially involved in after the incident of KARA on 01/19.
The film distribution company said "Park Gyuri has decided to attend the opening premiere on the coming Feb 10th. Initially she was not sure if she could participate, but eventually she has arranged her schedule for the event."
Gyuri participated in the voice dubbing of this film with Super Junior's Shindong, who is her Radio DJ partner in Shimshintapa. With genes inherited from her mother, who is a voice actor, her voice expression was considered very natural even though it was her first time dubbing for an animation.
Translated by Yoo + hasomy @ karaholic
On February 10th, Kara's leader Gyuri will be attending a press conference for "Alpha and Omega". This will be her first time that any Kara member will be in any sort of a press conference since the incident started.
She will most likely be asked questions about the whole issue, especially because she was the only one at first to stand by DSP's side.

Baseball's Bat Man
When stars like Derek Jeter ask to customize their baseball bat, Chuck Schupp makes sure they get what they want
- By Jim Morrison
- Smithsonian.com, October 05, 2010, Subscribe
Chuck Schupp has delivered alchemy to major-league players for 27 years, listening to their wishes for the perfect bat and then getting his team at the Hillerich & Bradsby plant in Louisville, Kentucky to produce one that fits their fancy.
When Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton put on a herculean display at the 2008 Home Run Derby, Schupp fielded calls from players, including slugger David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, who wanted to know what bat he was using—a C253 model originally made for Jeff Conine, a solid journeyman who played 17 seasons.
"Everybody's different," says Schupp, the pro baseball division manager for the venerable bat company. "Some guys never waver at all [in their bat choice]. Some guys tweak their stuff. Part of the challenge is reading the personalities of the guys."
Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees has used a 32-ounce P72 bat since his days in the minor leagues nearly two decades ago. "He just reloads," Schupp says. "When I look at the guys I've dealt with, the guys that are really good don't change. ARod [Alex Rodriguez], Jeter, Ryan Howard, Jim Thome. Most of the guys that are really good for a long period of time find something they're comfortable with and stick with it. They reduce the opportunities for failure. They fail most of the time anyway, so why muddy the water with five bat choices?" Custom bats were born in 1884 when J.A. "Bud" Hillerich, an apprentice woodworker, sneaked out of the shop to watch a baseball game. Pete Browning, the star slugger of the Louisville Eclipse, broke his bat that day and Hillerich, 18, invited him back to the shop to create a new one. They worked through the night with Browning periodically taking a practice swing to check the evolving model. The next day, he smacked three hits with it; the Louisville Slugger was born.
Schupp is a barometer of the changing tastes of players over the past three decades. When he began, the Louisville Slugger dominated the market with bats made from white ash (Fraxinas americana) grown in the forests of Pennsylvania and New York. In those days, only about five companies supplied bats to players; now, about three dozen firms supply hundreds of models of bats to major-league clubs although most are variations on just four models. The model names mentioned below are specific to H&B, but other makers take their bats and modify them as their players request. If you think those models debuted in the hands of Hall of Famers, you'd be mistaken. One of the benefits of being a major leaguer was that custom bats were paid for by the team. As such, even the most mediocre of players had their own customized weapons at the plate.
Legendary Minnesota Twins and California Angels infielder Rod Carew wielded a C243 while winning seven batting titles, but the original was made for Jim Campanis (son of big league player and executive Al Campanis), a career .147 hitter who played only 113 big league games in the late 1960s. Another example is the C271, a bat with a cupped end (to reduce weight) fashioned after a bat that outfielder José Cardenal got in the early 1970s from a teammate who played in Japan. The third model is the T85, originally made for "Marvelous" Marv Throneberry, a .237 hitter best known as a punch line during the early years of the New York Mets, and later used by George Brett, a three-time batting champion. The fourth is the I13 model made for Mike Ivie, who hit .269 in 11 mostly struggling seasons, now swung by all-stars Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays and Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals.
"I think we've made all the models we're going to make until I walk in the clubhouse again," Schupp says. "Everything starts out as a request or an oddity. That's the fun part of it."
Players' relationships with bats have inspired any number of myths and tales. Bernard Malamud's novel The Natural centered around Wonderboy, the lightning-tempered bat swung by Robert Redford in the movie version. Richie Ashburn, the slap-hitting outfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1950s, slept with his bat when he was on a hot streak. Ty Cobb rubbed his bats with tobacco juice to keep out moisture. Babe Ruth carved 21 eyelash notches in the Louisville Slugger that swatted 21 home runs during the 1927 season. Dante Bichette, the slugger who played 14 seasons mostly in the 1990s, held his bats up to his ear and pinged them; he was convinced that the higher the pitch, the more solid the wood. Ichiro Suzuki, the Seattle Mariners batting champion, keeps his bat in a silver case.

Cool, I would like a personalized bat for my son.

If you ever get to Louisville, make sure you put a tour of the "Louisville Slugger" plant on your 'to-do' list. There is an admission fee, but you get a walk-through of the actual factory floor where you can see the various steps involved in the bat-making process, as well as museum displays including a massive wall displaying H&B bats used by past and present major leaguers.
Every person taking the tour receives a free souvenir mini-bat (about 15 inches long); if desired, you can also get bats (both miniature as well as actual full-sized, usable models) personalized with your name, favorite team logo, or even your own signature!

Fighting Racism at Beitar Jerusalem'Jerusalem Tolerant Forever' Last Sunday night NIF's Kick it Out (KIO) program and the NIF-supported Tag Meir Coalition organized an anti-racism demonstration at Beitar Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium before the club's Premier League game with Bnei Sakhnin, a predominantly Arab team. The event was held in response to an upsurge in racism following the club's decision to sign two Chechen-Muslim players in January. Avraham Burg being interviewed at the event. Since its founding a decade ago, NIF's KIO program has brought significant attention – and solutions – to the problem of racism in the stadium. In a league where Jewish-Arab partnership is common, Beitar's track record and fan behavior has earned official reprimand in the past. But recent events provide a historic opportunity to uproot racism from the club once and for all, and to have a significant impact on anti-racism struggles throughout Israel. |

How's the api to it, as far as development of other tools? I use SGE on Linux, Sun, and IRIX and it works well. The documentation is comprehensive and easy to understand. You can have a simple installation going quickly, and as long as you install it in sgeee mode you can gradually start using the more complex features without reinstalling. The share tree scheduler is pretty good, so I haven't had the need to try plugging in the Maui scheduler. The mailing list support is excellent and the patches Sun releases have been painless to install. Stability is good and I haven't run into performance bottlenecks (I don't use NFS, which is default). I usually use the command line tools, but the gui, qmon, is decent. Things I haven't tried yet, but want to: * ssh instead of rsh * Condor checkpointing library integration * license manager sensor (Fluent does this automatically with it's sge integration, thankfully) * Maui scheduler * the MS windows execution daemon port The only thing I can think of that I thought that SGE should have included but didn't was file staging scripts, but those aren't difficult to write and a user (Ron Chen, I believe) posted theirs. As far as development...I've looked at the source code and at least the section I looked at was in good shape. I've been planning on adding a job script environment variable substitution feature, but I haven't gotten around to it. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

HERALD ARCHIVE: Tapping into Lakota cultural roots, a Spirit Lake program helps at-risk youth find pride and purpose (May 25, 2008)
Horse, boy, white rancher, Indian elder — they are all participants in a model court diversion program started in the fall of 2007 by the Spirit Lake juvenile court system.By: Chuck Haga, Grand Forks Herald
ST. MICHAEL, N.D. — The horse was a little skittish. So was the boy.
Troyal Thumb, 16, fed the 14-year-old quarter horse a bucket of oats with a little corn mixed in to bring out the shine in his dark brown coat. The horse munched away, slopping grain here and there as he threw his head to assess all the people crowding his stall.
Thumb worked the coat to a vivid sheen with a curry comb, then led the horse from the stable to one of two small riding rings set up in a converted turkey barn.
Around the dirt ring they walked, the boy leading. From the high metal rail, rancher Neil Whitmer offered guidance and quiet encouragement. Beyond, from his perch on a bale of hay, Kenny Dunn watched, smiling.
"OK, turn him now," Whitmer said. "Move the rope to your other hand. That's it."
Kenny's Bay, the horse is called, because he belongs to Dunn, an elder of the Spirit Lake tribe.
Horse, boy, white rancher, Indian elder — they are all participants in a model court diversion program started last fall by the Spirit Lake juvenile court system. With support from the Center for Health Promotion at UND's School of Medicine and a grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation, the program aims to build trust, responsibility and self-esteem in at-risk Indian youth.
It's called Shunka Wakan Ah-Ku, or Bringing Back the Horses.
"A lot of kids out there don't have any identity," said Darla Thiele, 47, an intake officer with the juvenile court. "But as Native people, one of our greatest identities was as a horse culture.
"We wouldn't have survived without the horse," she said. "We relied on them to hunt for food. If you wanted to marry, you brought horses."
Working with the animals, taking responsibility for them and earning their trust, "the kids learn about confidence, communication and respect," added Jessica White Plume, 32, a community health researcher at UND, a Lakota Indian from the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota — and a lifelong rider.
"I was a horsewoman before I was anything else," she said, beaming.
"The horse culture at Pine Ridge is still a source of strength and pride, especially for youth, and you can see that in the kids here. With some of them, you really can see how it sparks identity in them. You see the pride.
"Also, being outdoors and getting regular exercise is good for their mental, spiritual and physical health," White Plume said. "We hope to expand this program, so all the kids on the reservation have access to it. I think that would make a big difference in the community."
Scared at first
So far, about two dozen boys and girls have been court-ordered into the program after a variety of missteps brought them into the tribe's juvenile justice system, Thiele said. Each six-week quarter, four or five teens spend two nights a week with area ranchers who volunteered their land, experience and horses.
"Most of these kids have never been within a city block of a horse," said Whitmer, a tall, broad-shouldered rancher who looks as though he still, at 52, could wrestle bulls.
"You talk to people my age on the reservation, and they all knew horses," he said. "Sadly, this has been lost in the last generation or two. So, we teach 'em from the ground up, from the anatomy of a horse to handling a saddle and bridle. By the fifth week, we want them on the horse's back, riding.
"A lot of them are scared at first, but it's a good step to helping them overcome other problems."
Some teens "clearly are here only because they have to be," he said. But others "want to pursue working with horses when they're done with us. It's a soothing, calming effect the kids are getting."
Parents, teachers and others in the community "have told us they see changes" in the kids' attitudes and behavior, Thiele said. "They're a little more respectful, maybe not quite so impulsive. They're more likely to think things through a bit."
The tribal council "has helped us in every way," White Plume said, and elders say they want the program expanded. Horse management could be a path to economic development for the tribe, but at-risk youth remain the primary concern.
"We want these young people to be healthy and fit in every way, and to look forward to things — to have a purpose in life," she said.
Other tribes have turned to similar activities — teaching Native languages, cultivating medicinal herbs, working with animals — both to provide young people with alternatives to drugs, alcohol and gang life, and to preserve tribal cultures. On the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota, Indian students are joining after-school programs to work on traditional crafts, music and language. At Red Lake, tribal Chairman Floyd Jourdain Jr. uses long-distance running — another Indian tradition — to help young people onto a better path.
"All the ways these activities were helpful to the people before can be helpful again," White Plume said. "We're part of a big movement here."
A tradition fades
Last week, Thumb and three other Spirit Lake boys came to Ed Solwey's place near St. Michael to work with the horses. Dunn, 60, and Whitmer, whose ranch is about 30 miles to the south near Sheyenne, N.D., came along to help.
"When I was young and growing up around here, horses were all we had," Dunn said. "And time. We had a lot of time to ride."
Changes in family structure, chronic economic problems and waning traditions all played roles in diminishing the presence of horses, he said.
Solwey, who with his drooping mustache and quietly self-assured manner could double for actor Wilford Brimley, watched as Mitchell Buckles, 16, Jerrit Desjarlais, 17, and Johnny Leftbear, 15, took their turns grooming the horses with curry combs.
"They're over-fed and under-used, like me," Solwey said of the horses. "But they sense what you're feeling inside, even if you don't. That's why it can be so therapeutic, working with them."
Later, Mitchell took a turn in the riding ring with Cole, a big Belgian-quarter horse cross.
"He's real gentle," Solwey said, watching. "But he's seeing so many inexperienced riders lately that he's getting confused about what he's supposed to do. Then, he gets bossy."
As Solwey spoke, Cole refused a turn. Mitchell was losing control. "Don't twitch the reins around your fingers like that," Solwey warned. "And when you pull on one side, you have to push ahead with the other or you pull the bit into both sides of his mouth, and he doesn't know what to do."
Mitchell adjusted.
"OK, you're the boss now," the rancher said, as horse and rider trotted off. "You're driving this horse. That's it."
Ready to ride
Thumb had some riding experience. "I grew up with my grandfather, and he had horses," he said.
But as his grandfather grew older, the horses had to be stabled elsewhere, so Thumb hadn't done any riding for years.
Whitmer helped him slip a bridle onto the big bay, gentling the horse as it resisted the bit, then nodding with approval as Thumb threw a long leg over the horse's back and settled into the saddle.
They circled the ring together, then switched directions and made another prancing circle.
"Hey, Kenny," Thumb shouted to the bay's owner, watching from his hay bale. "I'm going to ride this guy home, OK? I'll give you the keys to my pickup."
The horse snorted and danced, as if ready to go.
"I like this lifestyle," Thumb said softly, caressing the bay. "I wouldn't mind working with horses the rest of my life."

The Ames Iowa straw pool means a number of things. Not only is it a show case, it usually spells the end for at least one candidate's presidential dreams.
It looks like it will be Rick Santorum's turn.
From CNN:
Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) – On Friday, Rick Santorum suggested he could become the first political casualty of the 2012 presidential race.
Just over two months after his official presidential campaign began, the Republican candidate intimated it could soon end - if he's not "in the top five" in Saturday's Ames Straw Poll. The Republican presidential candidate spoke with CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
"I think we have to be in the top five. I mean if we're eight or ninth - if we're not in the top five - this tells me that we don't have the organizational ability to get this thing done," Santorum told Crowley.
"This is a marathon. We got to show that we're building a team and so I'm kind of drawing the line there."
The Ames contest is seen as a test of a candidate's organization and popularity in Iowa.
If the former Pennsylvania senator does "draw the line" after a weak finish in Ames, it would surely be a devastating end to a long flirtation with a presidential bid.
In the past two years, Santorum has visited early presidential primary and caucus states – like Iowa and New Hampshire – scrounging for support. In June of this year, he announced his formal presidential campaign.
Since then, Santorum has barnstormed Iowa, home to the nation's first presidential contest. In the past few weeks alone, he – along with his wife and seven children – has traveled across Iowa selling his economic message and brand of conservatism.
Read the full story here: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/12/santorum-poor-resul...
Rick Santorum is a really nice guy. He is totally committed to conservative beliefs. Is he really Presidential material? No, not really. Santorum's most memorable moment of the campaign was Thursday night, an hour into the debate, when he waved his and said, "hey, we aren't getting a lot of time over here."
He was a good senator, who was absolutely savaged by the radical left. He's the kind of guy who would make a great next door neighbor, but leaving the Presidential race is probably the best move for him.
Santorum ran well, but after tonight it will be time for him to say good bye.
Sorry Guys I like Rick Santorum and I think he would make an excellent president. Certainly better than Bachmann or Tim Pawlenty, which both made complete idiots of themselves at the debate. If Rick makes it past the straw polls I am backing him all the way and I am not the only one after the debate which was aired in lot of public places Rick got alot of support behind him. Where Bachmann, Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Romney lost alot of support. Romney did his usual job of dodging the issues, Paul although correct and shows clarity on issues and is probably one of the most honest candidates we will ever find, has to much of an isolationist attitude on foreign policy. Tim Pawlenty, is all about Tim Pawlenty. Herman Cain did fairly well except when he made the statement, We need a sense of humor, that hurt him alittle. Newt, got into an argument with one of the Fox commentators which didn't help him out, but he did come out stronger than the others in most of his other statements. Huntsman is a RINO trying to convience everyone hat he's not. But Rick Santorum actually had to get in the fox commentators face to get some attention, which told me that no one has been taking him serious this whole time and should be taken serious. Rick is a good guy and a good conservative and okay so he hasn't voted no on some issues or yes on others. But as we found out Bachmann can be accused of the same. So before everyone here starts to down on Santorum because someone here says they don't like him because he didn't vote on every issue they way they wanted him to. Just remember that even Bachmann isn't perfect when it comes to politics. Well the poll is done Bachmann won the straw poll. But Rick Santorum came in 4th which isn't to bad out of eight candidates running so I don't think he is out of the game yet. And this is just one state people, one out of 50, unless your Obama then you think you have 57 states. And we elected this man president?! Anyway like I said I am backing Santorum. I like Cain but I just don't know if he is going to go anywhere but I will keep following him to. Personally I would go for a Trump and a Cain ticket. Both excellent business men and put the both of them together running this country, we can be a power house in under six yrs again. But thats another discussion for another day. God Bless.
Our friend George Bush and the RNC had much to do with Rick's loss! We got Arlan Spector for
that little trick who then turned to dem which he always was. Talk about rotten politics!

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Student Body: A description of a typical student would be someone who doesn't care about their education. I think there's a small amount of people who go here that care about what they're actually there for. There's actually some diversity with different ethnicities, even though it's a smaller school in New Hampshire.
C A+F Overall Experience: The academics are good if you have a good professor. Otherwise, they aren't that great. Commuting is so much better; living on campus is waste of money and if you go there right after graduating high school, it's just like high school all over again. Too much drinking and drugs.
B A+F Campus Resources: the library at my school is very clean and has plenty of space for people to study and learn. the student center has many games to play and a good place for people to hangout together. their are not as many activities as i would think their should be but their is a good amount their are just hard to find out about.
B A+F Campus Resources: the computer labs are very clean and their are plenty of them so there is never a wait to go on one. the network is very reliable and is a very fast internet. the wireless access you can receive any where are around the campus with out a problem.
C A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: i feel some of the classes i have taken have been extremely over priced for what i got in it. also the amount of the dental hygiene class on top of the tuition is extremely expensive and hard for people to come up with the money.
C A+F Career Services: The career center at my school is very helpful and works well with the students to help them find the right career for them
B A+F Academic Experience: the dental hygiene program is very difficult but has so much information that the work load is expected. my school has an amazing state of the art dental hygiene lab for people to learn on site exactly how their job will be.
A A+F Academic Experience: Professors at my school are all around fun nice and willing to help you with anything you have questions on. They are there to see you succeed not to fail. the class registration process is very easy and done online very quickly by yourself, there is no place you need to go to or anyone you need to see to pick your classed which is very nice. the amount of programs that are available at this school are very well rounded and can give some interest to any student who are looking for a career to go into,
B A+F Online Courses: i have had good and bad experiences with online classes. i think it truly depends on the teacher you have. i have had a teacher that explains very clearly what is expected and when papers are due. i also have had a teacher that you guess all semester what you are doing and when papers are due.
C A+F Facilities: my school has many places for students to get together and study their are many open labs where you can learn more then you do in your regular lab. also their are many spots through out the school where you can comfortably study and don't feel in the way to any one else.
B A+F Student Body: The student body at nhti is people that want you to succeed and are alwasy their to help you with any questions you have. their is always lots of people in the library and in the computer labs. People always have smiles on their face and are willing to help any one.

A A+F Student Body: There is a good cross section of people in my classes
C+ A+F Career Services: I gave them a c+ because I am only just starting out in school and have not needed these services yet but they did explain them.
B+ A+F Campus Resources: I am an older student and I am not up to date with the new way of doing things and everyone has been so helpful with my continuing my education.
B A+F Academic Experience: I'm majoring in General Studies and my classes give me a huge varitey of coarses so I can narrow down what I want to major in when I transfer to a different school.
B+ A+F Academic Flexibility: The number one reason I chose this school is because of how close it was to my house and how flexible the classes are with my schedule. I am able to work two other jobs as well as taking extra classes and still having my life organized and as stressless as possible. All of my credits also transfer to any school I choose.
C+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The education I'm getting is worth the amount of money I will end up paying after my financial aid goes through.
A A+F Career Services: I have not looked into jobs or the career center yet but the professors are very helpful
D A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I always have a hassle. I also do not believe I receive enough Financial Aid. They go by what parents make and I currently live on my own and pay my own tuition. Other than that I feel I am receiving a very good education and love the professors.
B A+F Campus Resources: need longer hours and a bigger better equipped gym
A A+F Campus Resources: There are lot of facilities on campus that aid students on campus. The learning center, which assist students with their studies and other important educational assistance.

Watertown— Exactly 31 days after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, where 26 victims lost their lives, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo passed the most comprehensive gun law in the nation.
Since January 14th, the Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013 (NY SAFE ACT) has been scrutinized by 50 NY counties out of 62, stating the NY SAFE ACT is an infringement on Second Amendment rights. The 50 counties that examined Cuomo's NY SAFE ACT have either passed or are currently considering passing a resolution. Essex, Schenectady, Albany, Tompkins, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and NY City are 8 counties said to have not rebuffed the NY SAFE ACT.
The NY SAFE ACT bans high capacity magazines and assault rifles in addition to making it tougher for mentally ill patients to obtain access to guns. "They passed it so quickly that they didn't take the time to find out what the people thought," said Legislator of the 15th District, Anthony J. Doldo. "Technically, they were supposed to wait 3 days to hear public comment and they didn't. I understand what happened in Connecticut, but does this really solve the problem?"
Mr. Doldo went on to point out that the new law limits anyone to having only 7 rounds loaded in their gun, down from the current capacity of 10. "This includes police officers" said Doldo, "which is ridiculous because to me that is a safety issue." However, the new gun law has been scrutinized and sometimes misunderstood. According to a statement released from Governor Cuomo's office, "No police officer possessing ammunition clips with more than seven bullets is in violation of the law or guilty of any crime, period."
ABC50 spoke with Jefferson County resident John Maciag, who suggested various ways that gun violence could be reduced without strict gun laws. "There are various methods that could make guns safer" said Mr. Maciag, "such as fingerprint censors on guns, which would allow for only the gun owner to be able to use the gun." According to Maciag, another safety measure would be to install RFID chips in guns. "RFID chips are tracking devices. Most cell phones have them," explained Maciag, "so, if someone steals your gun, you can track them down." However, there have been counter arguments that claim people would figure out how to fry or disable an RFID chip.
This evening, Jefferson County citizens and Legislators will be gathering at the Board of Legislators meeting to pass a resolution, rejecting Governor Cuomo's NY SAFE ACT.

Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced its plans for the upcoming transition from 34 nanometer to 25 nanometer flash chips used on its solid-state drives. "There is a lot of confusion in the market about the impact the move from 34 to 25nm flash will have on both the price and the performance of solid-state drives," said John Beekley, VP of Technical Marketing at Corsair. "We've been working closely with SandForce to ensure the smoothest possible transition and we're sharing the details today." Flash memory manufacturers are transitioning to using 25nm process for fabrication, allowing them to boost capacity and reduce costs, which in turn will allow SSD suppliers to pass those savings to the consumer. The downside is that SSDs built using 25nm flash ICs may require more over-provisioning (a technique used to ensure reliability) which lowers the capacity of the SSD and may also see a reduction in performance. "The Corsair and SandForce engineering teams have been working closely with the key flash memory suppliers to profile and qualify 25nm parts," continued Beekley, "and we've been running our Force drives through performance and reliability testing alongside them. We're pleased with the progress that's been made in getting the Force Series 25nm drives ready to ship to customers." In the Corsair Labs, using the ATTO synthetic benchmark, only a small reduction in performance (roughly 3-4%) was seen when testing Force Series SSDs built with 25nm flash. Real-world tests, such as copying groups of files or measuring Windows boot times, support the ATTO results and show little to no performance loss. However, the over-provisioning needed means that in some cases the capacity of the drives will be reduced. "So that our customers are perfectly clear about what they are getting, we will be changing the model numbers on all 25nm based drives and transitioning the drive capacities we offer where necessary. For example, a drive that would have been sold as 120GB when built with 34nm flash will be launched as a 115GB version," said Jared Peck, Global Product Marketing Manager for SSDs at Corsair, "All Force Series drives built with 25nm flash will also have a '-A' suffix on the part and/or model number, making it easy to determine exactly what you're getting." Force Series 115GB and 80GB 25nm drives will be available by the end of February from Corsair's worldwide network of resellers and distributors. The F115-A has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $215 and the F80-A has an MSRP of $169 in the U.S. For comparison the current Force Series F120 has an MSRP of $249 and the F80 has an MSRP of $199. You can read more about the transition plan, including the full set of results from our Corsair Lab performance testing, on the Corsair Blog.
IMO stay away from 25nm based ssd`s (QUOTE: 25nm flash ICs may require more over-provisioning which lowers the capacity of the SSD and may also see a reduction in performance..which is bad!! I prefer to pay that bit more for a 34nm ssd which has less over-provisioning and slightly faster like my ocz vertex2e 60gb.. it screeeams!!
I'm confused here. Now the price for 115GB SandForce drive is ineed a really nice one. But shouldn't new generations be better, not worse? Is the pricehere really the only benefit?
I would not go for a 25nm ssd cause it is still premature and i cannot see and reason to go for it besides it slightly cheaper. 34nm based ssd are more mature, faster and yes higher in price. but remember..newer technology does not always mean faster/better!
Considering how the SSD market has evolved I disagree, we will just have to wait for benchmarks and reviews.
Theres nothing wrong with 25nm as long as its branded as a different model, the reduced capacity is clearly listed and the price is cheaper. They are still faster than most of the competition. Ocz screwed up by selling them as the same model, same capacity for the same price. Anyway the 6GBs drives are coming out in a couple of weeks that are twice as fast and use 25nm nand. Better off waiting for those.
One thing i don't get is: Why the ssd transitions faster than GPUs and they have reached 25nm instead the gpus are in 40nm technology yet This means that ssd sellers get more money so they can produce more or what???
You can easily provision for errors in the SSD (as the article shown above), but the same cannot be said for the GPUs (or CPUs, for that matter). We just need to wait a bit more for the 25nm to mature and give us good increase in performance, and decrease in price
Well they would be stupid not to considering the lash back that OCZ got when they silently started putting 25nm drives on the market.
