Having already beaten Magna Vista by a total of 52 points in two earlier wins, the Carroll County girls' basketball team got a tougher-than-expected fight from the Warriors before pulling out a 59-46 win Wednesday in a Region IV Quarterfinal in Hillsville.
Magna Vista (9-11) pulled to within 39-33 late in the third quarter before Carroll County (16-9) eventually took control in the final period. Crysta Guynn drilled four 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 20 points for the Cavaliers. Meanwhile, Taylor Martin scored 13 points and knocked down 5-of-6 free throws in the final 90 seconds as Carroll advanced to play Bassett on Thursday night at Magna Vista in a Region IV Semifinal.
"(Crysta) has played well the last three or four games. She's shot the ball well, and right now she is our best scorer," Carroll County head coach Marc Motley said. "But you know how we play, it could be anybody any given night, and it just so happens the last two or three nights it's been her. We are starting to get some pressure on the basketball and it is starting to leave our shooters open. So as long as we are getting people double teamed, it is pretty hard to close out on her. And she has made the most of her opportunities."
The Warriors struck first as Magna Vista center Makayla Hairston scored the first five points of the game in the paint to put her team ahead 5-0. Hairston gave the Cavaliers problems all night long, scoring 18 points before fouling out in the second half.
"We played them twice this year and they scored 24 and 26 points in the two games we've played them. I thought they played much better tonight than did offensively either game we played them during the year," Motley said. "The big kid in the middle, she just gave us fits until she fouled out. And even in the second half she was in foul trouble and they were trying to go offense, defense, offense, defense with her."
Megan Alderman finally put Carroll on the board with a 3-pointer at the 6:15 mark of the first quarter. Martin also connected from downtown a minute later. Michala Hash followed with a driving basket in the lane and Guynn hit a pair of free throws to complete a 10-0 run.
Guynn really got going late in the period, hitting a pair of three-pointers, the second of which she was fouled on. She hit the ensuing free throw to complete the four-point play, giving Carroll a 17-9 lead heading into the second period.
"We didn't play great tonight. Crysta carried us shooting the basketball and Taylor made free throws down the stretch," Motley said. "We didn't play exceptionally great, but at this point and time it doesn't matter how good you play if you win."
Hayden Caldwell's bucket late in the second quarter gave the Cavaliers a 14-point advantage, its biggest of the half, before ending the second quarter up 29-16. But with both Martin and Alderman in foul trouble, Magna Vista began chipping away at the lead in the third quarter, getting as close as 36-31 with 2:38 left in the period. Brandi Warner scored 10 of her 16 points in the third for the Warriors.
"The Warner kid just started attacking the basket and…we actually went to the zone just because we had so much foul trouble. We had both our point guards with four fouls in the third quarter with four minutes to go. We were struggling there," Motley said. "We could only keep one in the game because I couldn't afford both of them getting tired."
But when things got tight, Guynn stepped up and canned two more 3-pointers, including a buzzer beater to put the Cavs in front 47-35 heading into the fourth quarter. Magna Vista never got closer than eight points the rest of the way as Carroll made 10-of-16 free throws over the final eight minutes and played zone to slow down Magna Vista's offense.
"We were trying to use it in a situation to keep the Warner kid out of the paint because we had our point guards in foul trouble and we didn't feel like we guarded her well. Sometimes the zone slows the game down a little bit and I think that is what it did best for us tonight," Motley said. "Other than that we did it because of foul trouble. Defensively we just tried to slow the game down a little bit, and we made a few shots."
Carroll can earn its second straight berth in the state tournament with a win tonight (Feb. 21) against Bassett.
M. Vista 9….7..19..11 - 46

The Tea Ladies of the St James Goose Creek Parish held the Fifth Annual Tea at the Creek on March 9.
The event was a great success. Ladies dressed in their finest for this elegant affair with beautifully decorated tables and delicious food made by the Tea Ladies. There were dozens of donated door prizes, raffles and silent auction items.
The Tea began with the Pledge of Allegiance led by First Lt Darien Woosley of the Stratford High School Junior ROTC. The cadets assisted in collecting tickets, handing out door prizes, serving and cleaning up.
The speaker this year was Dr. Amanda Mushal, an assistant professor of history at the Citadel. Her talk was on "The Architecture of Home and Shopping in Nineteenth Century Charleston" – shopping on King Street in the 1850s.
Proceeds from the Tea will help fund the restoration of the St James Goose Creek Church, the St James Goose Creek Chapel of Ease and the beautification program of Goose Creek.
Goose Creek Mayor Michael Heitzler was there autographing his new book, The Goose Creek Bridge, with the donations for the book going to the Tea Ladies.
Donors included Becky DeSanto and Liz Knudsen of the Special Effects Salon, Berkeley Electric Co-op, Bi-Lo, Brigadier General and Mrs. Ralph Parker, Dreamalot Books, Ft Sumter Tour and Spirit Line Cruises, Hopsewee Plantation Tea Room, Hyman's Seafood, Jos. A Bank, Ladson Piggly Wiggly, La Hacienda, Los Arcos, Meeting Street Piggly Wiggly, MFS Commercial Real Estate, Olive Garden, Paradise Pools in Goose Creek, Plantation Florist, Quoizel Lighting, Ross Printing, Santee Cooper, Stephen Morrison, Stono Market, Ted Cozart, This Whole House, Time Well Spent, Tony Young and Ye Old Fashion Ice Cream Café.
The Metro North Church donated its building for this event while Tony Young took pictures of all the beautiful tables.
The Tea Ladies will be selling a new cookbook this month.

Hilbert Men Still Have a Glimmer of Hope
Hawks Battled Altoona
- Release Date:
- October 25, 2010

- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Altoona, PA – The Hilbert College men's soccer team continues to fight for every win in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference in an attempt to make postseason play. The visiting Hawks set the tone for the game scoring in the first nine minutes of play against Penn State Altoona. Sophomore go-to forward Ed Sarcione (Eden, NY/Eden Central) scored his ninth goal this season from a cross by the vocal leader Eric Russell (Hickory, NC/Iroquois Central). Penn State Altoona would even the score at 1-1 just 13 minutes later. The Hawks battle with the Lions came to a bitter end when the hosts scored with less than seven minutes to play to win the game 2-1.
Hilbert (3-4-1, 3-13-1) fights to claim a spot in postseason conference play in a difficult match up at home this Tuesday, October 26 against cross-town Medaille College (4pm). The Hilbert men need to win and hope for a domino effect in the conference for the chance to advance.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities.

I was among the approximately 125,000,000 Facebook users who got an email this weekend alerting us to the settlement of a class action lawsuit against the social networking giant for putting our names and faces in "Sponsored Story" ads that were broadcast to our friends. So, because I 'Like' Starbucks on Facebook, my friends may have seen an ad reminding them that I like Starbucks and encouraging them to mainline a latte at the next possible opportunity. Other people wound up fronting far more embarrassing endorsements. Luckily for me, I've never chosen to give any particular brand of sexual lubricant the thumbs up, but I'm still entitled to up to $10 from Facebook according to the terms of the settlement.
Facebook is settling the suit for $20 million, an amount that will cover the class action lawyers' fees –just under $8 million — with the rest being either divvied up among Facebook's affected users OR if the demand is too great from users, divvied up among 14 non-profits that work on privacy and technology issues that purportedly help the members of the class. Facebook members will get between $5 and $10 each, unless so many people claim the money that the amount per person falls below $5. (By my estimate, that happens if around 2.5 million people sign up.) In that case, the money goes to the non-profits.
I'd argue the money does more good with organizations like the Center for Democracy and Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Stanford's Center for Internet and Society, and Santa Clara Law School's High Tech Law Institute — all of whom have provided sources for my stories in the past. (For disclosure's sake, I should note that two of my current roommates work for EFF.) Thinking that about $1 million each for the non-profits was better than each member of the class getting enough to buy two lattes, my plan was to claim my award to help reach the threshold of claimants that triggers the funds going to these groups. But once I started the claim process, I realized I couldn't do it. To submit my claim, I had to agree to the following:
I declare the following:
1. I understand that a story about some action I took on Facebook (such as liking a page, checking in at a location, or sharing a link), along with my name and/or profile picture, may have been displayed in a Sponsored Story shown to my Facebook Friends who were authorized by me to see that action.
I'm good on that one. I did understand that, because I wrote about it when it was first announced back in January 2011. Though I was a little surprised to later learn that Facebook would put ads around simply sharing a link. As Nick Bergus can attest, that means the context can be easily lost. A link posted in outrage could wind up being something you later appear to endorse.
2. I was not aware that Facebook could be paid a fee for displaying actions such as these, along with my name and/or profile picture, to my Facebook Friends.
That's where they get me! I did know that 'Sponsored Stories' were a "payday for Facebook." I'm very curious how many of the 125 million didn't know that Facebook was making money this way.
3. If my name and/or profile picture was displayed in a Sponsored Story, I believe I was injured by that display.
They've got me there too. I've been pretty forthright here about understanding that companies that offer us free services have to find creative ways to monetize. Back in 2009, I wrote a post entitled, "Facebook wants to use my face for ads. Okay," where I admitted that " I don't care" if they use my face in ads. So… I feel like I'm in potential perjury trouble with this one. And other members might feel that way too.
"I think that the money is better given to the designated non-profits, but the wording of these declarations seems to frustrate this goal. These declarations demand a high degree of certainty from individuals, yet only general details about the conduct in question are provided," says Samford University law professor Woodrow Hartzog. "Without actually being confronted with how your name and likeness was used, it's difficult to say anything in this context with legal certainly. In my mind, the real problematic theme running throughout all of this is boilerplate. Far-reaching, non-negotiable terms are seemingly just as problematic in obtaining administrative clearance as they are for obtaining consent to the questionable practices at issue."
4. I am submitting only one Claim Form, regardless of how many Facebook accounts I have.
Sorry, Facebook scammers!
5. I understand that I am releasing all claims that I have against Facebook and all other "Released Parties" as set forth in Section 5 of the Settlement Agreement (available at "www.fraleyfacebooksettlement.com/court").
I am not in fact going to be joining the class and releasing my claims. So watch out, Facebook… though it's not like I really mind. What Facebook could do to keep me happy, though, is to let me know when ads are being run using me and my Likes. The current solution for opting out of these is inelegant at best and the lack of any kind of ad review process is disappointing.

YouTube and Checkout for the non-profit world
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Ever since YouTube first launched, people and organizations have been using it to broadcast their causes and engage supporters around the issues they care about. In that spirit, today YouTube unveiled its Non-Profit Program at the Clinton Global Initiative to help non-profit organizations more easily connect with the world's largest online video community. In the past few years, online video has emerged as a key tool for grassroots organizing on the Internet -- a short, simple video can demonstrate the impact and the needs of an organization in a uniquely compelling fashion. This program will enable non-profits to create dedicated YouTube channels for themselves, making it even easier for people to find, watch, and engage with the organization's video content. The initial participants are 13 organizations including the American Cancer Society, Friends of the Earth, and YouthNoise.
One other thing the YouTube Non-Profit Program offers: the ability to collect donations directly from these channels using the new Google Checkout for Non-Profits. Checkout for Non-Profits -- which can also be integrated directly into a non-profit's site -- helps drive more donations for U.S.-based 501(c)(3) groups by making it possible for supporters to contribute quickly and securely. It also offers supporters the satisfaction of knowing that 100 percent of their contributions will be sent to the non-profit, as Google has committed to processing donations through Checkout for free through at least the end of 2008. This functionality is particularly exciting, as today's fund-raising is increasingly moving online -- and Checkout for Non-Profits makes the entire process even easier. You can learn more here.

The Pushmataha Conservation District is sponsoring a "Blue Thumb Training for New Volunteers" on Friday and Saturday, March 9th and 10th at the Antlers Community Building located at 204 SW 4th Street. Blue Thumb is a water pollution education program that counts on volunteers to perform stream monitoring, screen ground water, and educate the public about pollution prevention.
The two-day training is free, but does require advanced registration. Cheryl Cheadle, coordinator of the program said, "We typically get a good variety of people at these sessions, from 4-H leaders to science teaches, to people who are retired." Cheadle added that with all the beautiful streams around Antlers, she expects lots of people to show up.
"There are a number of volunteers working in southeast Oklahoma," Cheadle said, adding that streams are monitored in Latimer, LeFlore and McCurtain Counties, as well as across the state. Cheadle also said that the Choctaw Nation is interested in performing Blue Thumb monitoring on the Kiamichi River.
People who complete the training are loaned a test kit which they keep so long as they complete monthly monitoring in a site and report the data results. Seasonal biological collections also take place. Cheadle said, "The best way to know something about a stream is by looking at the water chemistry, the life in the stream, and also at stream habitat. Blue Thumb helps citizen volunteers to do this."
The training will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. each day. To sign up, contact Cheadle at 918-398-1804 or the Pushmataha County Conservation District at 580-298-3998.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Grammatikforschung / Grammar research
Year of publication
Document Type
- Working Paper (5)
- Part of a Book (4)
- Article (2)
- Grammatiktheorie (11) (remove)
- Introductory notes to a grammar of Cahuilla : [to appear in Linguistic Studies offered to Joseph Greenberg on the occasion of his 60th birthday] (1976)
- These notes grew out of my preoccupation with writing a grammar of a particular language, Cahuilla, which is spoken in Southern California and belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family. [...] The Introduction to the Grammar as a whole – of which two sections are reproduced here in a modified version – tries to integrate the synoptic views of the different chapters into a series of comprehensive statements. The statements cluster around two topics: 1. A presentation of Cahuilla as a type of language. 2. Remarks on writing a grammar.
- Semiotactics as a Van Wijngaarden grammar (1984)
- 1. There are two classes of theories of Universal Grammar: (1) Formalist theories, such as the widespread varieties of generative grammar. These theories start from the assumption that certain strings of linguistic forms are grammatical while other strings are ungrammatical. A grammar of this type produces grammatical strings and does not produce ungrammatical ones. All theories of this class fail in the same respect: they do not account for the meaning of the strings. (2) Semiotactic theories, which describe the meaning of a string in terms of the meanings of its constituent forms and their interrelations. The only elaborate formalized theory of this class presently available is the one advanced by C.L. Ebeling (Syntax and Semantics, Leiden: Brill, 1978). I shall discuss some of its mathematical properties here.
- Inhalt und Aufbau deskriptiver Grammatiken : (How to write a grammar) (1987)
- Das vorliegende Arbeitspapier ist das Skript einer Vorlesung, die ich während des Wintersemesters 1986/87 am Institut für Sprachwissenschaft der Universität zu Köln gehalten habe. […] Das Arbeitspapier gliedert sich in zwei Teile. Im ersten Teil, Kapitel 1 - 4, werden die bei der Untersuchung und Beschreibung einer Sprache auftretenden soziolinguistischen Probleme besprochen, während im zweiten Teil, Kapitel 5 - 11, behandelt wird, wie eine Grammatik geschrieben werden sollte. Es geht dabei also nicht um die grammatische Analyse sprachlicher Daten, sondern um die Darstellung einer Sprache, d.h. um die schriftstellerische Aufgabe des Linguisten, des Grammatikers im eigentlichen Sinn.
- Transitivity alternations of the anticausative type (1987)
- This paper is concerned with anticausative verbs (or verb-forms), or shortly, anticausatives. [...] [C]ausative/non-causative pairs with a marked non-causative are quite frequent in the languages of the world. However, so far they have not received sufficient attention in general and typological linguistics, a fact which is also manifested in the absence of a generally recognized term for this phenomenon […]. This paper therefore deals with the most important properties of anticausatives (particularly semantic conditions on them), their relationship to other areas of grammar as well as their historical development in different languages. The grammatical domain of transitivity, valence and voice, where the anticausative belongs, takes up a central position in grammar and consequently the present discussion should be of considerable interest to general comparative (or typological) linguists.
- Lexical information from a minimalist point of view (1997)
- Simplicity as a methodological orientation applies to linguistic theory just as to any other field of research: 'Occam's razor' is the label for the basic heuristic maxim according to which an adequate analysis must ultimately be reduced to indispensible specifications. In this sense, conceptual economy has been a strict and stimulating guideline in the development of Generative Grammar from the very beginning. Halle's (1959) argument discarding the level of taxonomic phonemics in order to unify two otherwise separate phonological processes is an early characteristic example; a more general notion is that of an evaluation metric introduced in Chomsky (1957, 1975), which relates the relative simplicity of alternative linguistic descriptions systematically to the quest for explanatory adequacy of the theory underlying the descriptions to be evaluated. Further proposals along these lines include the theory of markedness developed in Chomsky and Halle (1968), Kean (1975, 1981), and others, the notion of underspecification proposed e.g. in Archangeli (1984), Farkas (1990), the concept of default values and related notions. An important step promoting this general orientation was the idea of Principles and Parameters developed in Chomsky (1981, 1986), which reduced the notion of language particular rule systems to universal principles, subject merely to parametrization with restricted options, largely related to properties of particular lexical items. On this account, the notion of a simplicity metric is to be dispensed with, as competing analyses of relevant data are now supposed to be essentially excluded by the restrictive system of principles.
- Topic and Focus at the Peripheries : The Dynamics of Tree Growth (2004)
- In this paper topic and focus effects at both left and right periphery are argued to be epiphenomena of general properties of tree growth. We incorporate Korean into this account as a prototypical verb-final language, and show how long- and short-distance scrambling form part of this general picture. Multiple long-distance scrambling effects emerge as a consequence of the feeding relationship between different forms of structural under-specification. We also show how the array of effects at the right periphery, in both verb-final and other language-types, can also be explained with the same concepts of tree growth. In particular the Right Roof Constraint, a well-known but little understood constraint, is an immediate consequence of compositionality constraints as articulated in this system.
- Comparing lexicalized grammar formalisms in an empirically adequate way : the notion of generative attachment capacity (2006)
- The work presented here addresses the question of how to determine whether a grammar formalism is powerful enough to describe natural languages. The expressive power of a formalism can be characterized in terms of i) the string languages it generates (weak generative capacity (WGC)) or ii) the tree languages it generates (strong generative capacity (SGC)). The notion of WGC is not enough to determine whether a formalism is adequate for natural languages. We argue that even SGC is problematic since the sets of trees a grammar formalism for natural languages should be able to generate is difficult to determine. The concrete syntactic structures assumed for natural languages depend very much on theoretical stipulations and empirical evidence for syntactic structures is rather hard to obtain. Therefore, for lexicalized formalisms, we propose to consider the ability to generate certain strings together with specific predicate argument dependencies as a criterion for adequacy for natural languages.

If you want something far superior to the bundled neck strap that came with your camera, the Custom SLR Glide Strap is a very comfortable alternative.
The 55-250mm f3.5-5.6 STM fills a big hole for the dual-lens kit devotees of the company's latest Rebel models.
Slightly redesigned, the D5500 is a modest upgrade over the D5300.
The 5DS R looks the same as its predecessors but crams more inside.
With excellent photo and video quality, fast shooting performance and enough features to keep any level of photographer happy, the FZ1000 is just a great camera.
For people looking for something better than a point-and-shoot, the Pentax K-S2 is a good camera, but it falls short for videos.
Having trouble choosing among Canon's dSLRs? This guide will help you get started.
It may be a few years behind the pack, but the Nikon D5500 houses the company's first dSLR touchscreen, and it's relatively large at 3.2 inches.
Here's an easy way to turn your dSLR into a DIY webcam for PC.

He said that the peer-review system has two sides to it. On the one hand it does succeed at eliminating quacks. On the other hand, it also succeeds at suppressing any point of view that happens to be unpopular, because any unpopular view will not get a fair chance for review.
The old story of Dr. Semmelweis would seem to be a classic example of this unfair suppression of an unpopular medical view, a suppression which was unrelated to how valid his view was.
Can any non-Brewer-oriented physician know enough about the Brewer Diet to be able to use it or prescribe it well enough to judge whether it "works" on any of their pre-eclamptic patients?

The Cane Bay Cobras enter the Class AAAA playoffs with momentum after knocking off West Ashley 19-11 on Friday night.
The Cobras (6-5) had lost four in a row but got off the slide against the Wildcats and made the postseason in their first season in Class AAAA football.
We feel good about making the playoffs, CBHS coach Russell Zehr said. Thats everybodys goal when the season begins.
Zehrs team is the No. 15 seed in the Div. II bracket and travels to second-seeded South Pointe. The Stallions (10-1) won Region 3-AAAA.
Theyre very athletic and very good at what they do, Zehr said of the Rock Hill-area school. They remind me of Ashley Ridge and Wando as far as what they do on offense. Theyre really big up front and theyve got good receivers and running backs. Well have our hands full trying to slow them down.
The Stallions average 32 points a game. Theyre coming off a 35-13 win over Lancaster.
The big thing for us is weve got to be able to move the ball and keep their offense off the field, Zehr said.
The Cobras scored a pair of second-half touchdowns to come back from an 8-5 deficit against West Ashley. They got 140 yards rushing and a 6-yard touchdown run from running back Romante Frazier.
Quarterback Shon Swett added a 6-yard touchdown run for Cane Bay.
The Cobras defense limited West Ashley just over 100 yards of total offense and recorded a safety in the opening quarter.
George Andersons 23-yard field goal in the second quarter gave Cane Bay a 5-0 lead before Dominique Gaines had a 100-yard kickoff return to start the second half for West Ashley, which finished the season 1-10. Ernest Heyward ran in the conversion to give the Wildcats their 8-5 lead.
Cane Bay responded with a 12-play, 75-yard drive to regain the lead on Swetts touchdown.
Fraziers touchdown in the fourth quarter provided some insurance.
Cane Bays top three tacklers on the season are linebackers Matt Rudy, Kealon Wheldon and Jordan Newlin.

I just want to add my thanks. I just get teary seeing all you guys out there walking. What incredible friends and families you have. I wish I could have been at every single walk! I was lucky that John & Brenda brought me to Iowa to speak at the Davenport walk. My father (who turns 80 this year) came with me and it was the first time he had ever seen me speak for the PF and I don't think he really "got" what it was that I was so passionate about... He was really proud and that meant so much to me.
I have to share a couple highlights for me--because I am just humbled by the hearts of our members: Brad's fiance came up and introduced herself to me. What a lovely woman. I am sure Shelly would have loved her and I am so happy that Brad and Hailey have someone but are still able to be there with us. That is an incredibly selfless gift Michelle gave.
A grandmother, and mother holding a tiny baby came up and introduced themselves as women I had talked with on the phone. The father of the baby is Shelly's cousin and the mom had preeclampsia and delivered about 6 weeks early. They thanked me for the support and wanted to show me the baby. I could barely speak.
And I got to meet Mada!! I didn't even recognize her with her short hair--but I felt like I wanted to spend every minute wiht her--like we were sisters separated at birth. I was so grateful to meet her--and it was so normal--like we had known one another for forever. Thank you so much for making the trip, Mada, I love you!!
Then John & Brenda invited us to the farm for a BBQ. I forget that I "started" this thing so I am just being Anne and hanging out when John asked if I had seen Kim's tattoo...and I hadn't. Kim, Shelly's sister, has a tattoo on her back of angel wings in the PF colors with a PF ribbon. I really had to fight the tears...what a humbling thing--to see that. I just hung on poor Kim as the tears flowed.
And then, the best part (?) was as we were leaving, my father tearing me away, John came out and asked if I had met his nephew. I have to back up--about a year ago his nephew had done a posterboard for a school project on someone "famous" who had made a difference in the world. The posterboards were on display in the Iowa Capitol. Chris (?) decided to do his board on me. So apparently there was a board on me next to the Harriet Tubman board in the Capitol building...So I went back into the house to meet this adorable teenager--tall, with braces, and longish surfer hair and just gave this kid a huge hug. I was just so amazed. So moving...
And finally, want to share part of my speech--I talked about my experience and then I talked about "founding" the PF--and I said--that while I was the one who named it, who registered the URL, who designed the logo, chose the font, blah blah--really, all I did was "turn on the tap" because I did not do all this--you guys did. I am in awe and have no words to say thank you to everyone who are walking and working and on the boards every day making a difference.
I remember Joan and I saying we wanted to be sure no one else had to go through this alone--as we had--and I really believe that we are close to crossing that goal off our list. Thank you all so very much. I hope to get to meet each and every one of you one day.
Get yourselves to Boston October 27, 2007!!!!

Picasa Web Albums added an option to connect the service with Google Profiles. Before Google Profiles was released, each Google service used separate profiles, so you had to enter personal information multiple times.
"Picasa Web Albums are now compatible with your Google Profile! Now when you use Picasa Web Albums, you can use the same profile name and photo that you use on your Google Profile. Your Picasa Web Albums will link to your Google Profile, and your profile will link to your public albums," informs Google's photo service.
After linking your Google Profile with Picasa Web Albums, you can edit the profile and remove the link to your public albums.
If you've previously used an alias to hide your Gmail address from the URL, you can no longer use it after merging the profiles. The only option you have is to use the same ID number from Google Profiles.
It's interesting that Picasa Web's code calls this feature "merged profiles softlaunch", which suggests that users aren't required to merge profiles, but that will change in the future.

- On the sequence of the techniques on the dimension of participation (1988)
- This is a survey of the development of the model of PARTICIPATION (P'ATION) with reference to the postulated sequence of the techniques on the dimension of P'ATION. Along with a brief explanation of the techniques this article contains a discussion of the major claims with regard to the sequence of the techniques and the possibilities of subjecting the claims to empirical verification.
- 67
- Noun, verb, and participation (1987)
- The present article is a crosslinguistic discussion of the distinction between a word class of nouns and a word class of verbs in the UNI TYP framework of the dimension of PARTICIPATION (for a first overall sketch of PARTICIPATION see Seiler 1984). According to this framework the noun/verb-distinction (henceforth N/V-D) must be regarded as a gradable, continuous phenomenon ranging from the stage of a clear-cut distinction with no overlap to almost a non-distinction. Although there is no question that most, if not all, languages do differentiate between nouns and verbs, it is also quite apparent that the languages do so to a different degree and by different means, and that it only makes sense to use the terms "noun" and "verb" in different languages when one actually has a common functional denominator in mind (see below). After a general introduction to the notion of a noun/verb-continuum (chapter 1) the reader will be presented with a survey of languages as diverse as German. English, Russian, Hebrew, Turkish, Salish. and Tongan (see chapter 2) in support of the continuum hypothesis. In chapter 3 the facts are coordinated in an overall pattern of regularities underlying the Increase or decrease of categorical restrictions between the respective word classes. Also, chapter 3 raises the issue to what degree a N/V-D can be considered a matter of certain lexemes or a matter of the morphosyntactic environment of certain lexical units. Lastly, we shall seek for an answer to the question why it is not a necessary requirement for languages to draw a sharp distinction between a word class of nouns and a word class of verbs.

UFC releases nine fighters from their roster, including Chad Griggs, Jeff Hougland, and Marcus LeVesseur - Bloody Elbow
With the Strikeforce migration underway, the UFC was forced to make some room for their newest signings. The news of fighter releases had been relatively quiet over the last several weeks, but the proverbial pink slip has come for several UFC fighters today. MMA Opinion has the list:
The UFC have released a number of fighters just as they make room for the additions of the Strikeforce signees.
Chad Griggs, Nick Penner, Marcus LeVesseur, John Cofer, Joey Gambino, Jeff Hougland, Jared Papazian and Yasuhiro Urishitani and Henry Martinez are the 9 released.
These are not incredibly surprising cuts at all. The cumulative UFC record of the nine released is 3-19, so it's hard to argue that any one of these fighters was a bad one. Urushitani's release is the only really interesting one, as the flyweight division is rather shallow. And while his run was thoroughly uninspiring, Marcus LeVesseur did take his UFC on FOX 5 fight with Abel Trujillo literally on 24 hours notice when Tim Means slipped and fell in the sauna.

The energy was high and the sun was shining in San Francisco last week during the Pentaho Global Partner Summit 2011. Pentaho partners from nearly 20 countries around the world came together at the Presidio Golden Gate Club for two days of shared insights, innovation, and networking around open source business intelligence and data integration. We could go on forever about highlights from the event's action-packed two days, such as the Global Partner Award ceremony or the Lightening Round session where partners from Hong Kong , Quebec , Portugal , and more impressed us with their innovative implementations of Pentaho. However, we think it best to recount the highlights as shared by our friends and partners: Thank you! Thank you to all attendees, speakers, and participants, for playing a part in this year's Global Partner Summit. It is our hope that you walked away with new ideas, opportunities, knowledge, and a sense of the spirit that continues to drive Pentaho to "Rise Above". We hope that the experience was valuable to you and your organization, and look forward to seeing what you will accomplish in 2011. For More... We welcome...

1. Will it do what I need? 2. Will it get done on time? 3. Will it fit my budget? These are pretty much the 3 questions that any IT Manager will ask him/herself when it comes to evaluating and investing in any type of software. Open Source BI is no different. Call it an over-simplified RFI (Request for Information) or "make my CFO approve my gut feeling" checklist, these questions are essentially what you need to know to go forward with a purchasing decision. The snippets below show how 4 Pentaho customers have answered these questions. ZipRealty, a well known real estate firm, wanted to increase the quality and quantity of their reports to their users. Their previous BI solution was cost-prohibitive when it came to rolling out these reports to "all" their agents and district managers. ZipRealty's Director of Business Intelligence, Salvatore Scalisi quotes: "It wasn't economical to add the number of users we wanted. The licensing fees became substantial." With Pentaho, ZipRealty was able to help its agents and managers track inventory and conversion rates. They also enhanced their client services and satisfaction by rolling out analysis...

Business Intelligence is part of a bigger picture and not a particular software package. BI in general involves many different factors in order to be successful no matter what software or skill set is being used. It requires the knowledge and expertise of the individuals who know it best. This includes the customer knowing what problems they have or want to prevent, as well as the software vendor and/or consultants who know how to provide solutions for those problems. Analogy 1: Imagine you want to hang a picture. You have some screws but do not have any tools. You go to the hardware store and say, "I need a hammer", because you think that this is the proper tool to get the job done. The proper response would be for the salesperson to ask you, "What do you need the hammer for?" or "What project will the hammer help you with?" When he finds out that you want to hang a picture and all you have are screws, the salesperson may suggest a screwdriver instead of the hammer or perhaps give you nails and a hammer. Even better yet, he...

I am very excited to welcome, Ian Fyfe to the Pentaho team as our Chief Technology Evangelist. Ian recently joined us after spending six years at Jaspersoft as their senior director of product management and product marketing. However, I know him best from working with him several years ago at an executive information systems start-up that he co-found called Intelligent Office Company (IOC, Inc). Ian's knowledge of the industry, proven leadership skills, and existing relationships with the executive team are a home run for Pentaho. I like to welcome and introduce all new team members on the blog by asking the same question, "What brought you to Pentaho?" Welcome Ian! Guest Blogger: Ian Fyfe There are a number of things that brought me to Pentaho, including great people and great products , but perhaps one of the most compelling was the opportunity to work with the founding principals of the company again (Richard Daley-CEO, James Dixon-CTO, Marc Batchelor- Chief Engineer, and Doug Moran-VP Community), having worked with them several years ago at an earlier software startup. Coming to Pentaho in some ways brings me full-circle, back to working with this...

I recently came across a very interesting study that has been published by Dresner Advisory Services . The Business Intelligent market study titled, " The Wisdom of Crowds ," is written by Howard Dresner, one of the foremost thought leaders in the BI market. This in-depth market research has used a survey tactic to gather the wisdom of 457 BI users (quite a crowd!) on 32 essential metrics for choosing a BI technology. The results are astonishing. Among the many trends two were the most interesting to me: Today, smaller BI deployments dominate across all geographies and all industries. Smaller BI deployments have started to take off in the last 2 years or so and are growing in the expense of large deployments that were once popular 5 to 15 years ago. This is a huge market shift . 1,000+ user base deployments are no longer ideal or even desired. They have been replaced by smaller deployments for individual organizations, departments, and line of businesses. While this is no surprise due to the economic conditions that has forced companies to cut back in their capital expenditure, including huge licensing costs...

2010 was a huge year for Pentaho. We started the month in review blogs because of the long list of great products, resources and more that were occurring each month. Before we fully say goodbye to 2010 we have a final wrap up for the last month of a decade. Product Announcements We did not have any new product launches in the month of December, however, we were proud to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Pentaho Agile BI.

Jefferson Elementary School has received three grants from Public Education Partners this summer – one to purchase science materials for gifted students and the others for two teachers to obtain iPads as technology resources.
Ellen Cotton serves as the instructor for the Gifted and Talented program for grades three through five that serves Jefferson and other Area 3 schools.
The new materials she is obtaining will benefit Gifted and Talented programs in schools throughout the county, she said.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to provide the gifted students with the highest-quality curriculum available and sincerely appreciate the support of PEP," Cotton said.
Fourth-grade teachers Renee Enlow and Shannon Ennis are obtaining iPads that can provide a range of activities for science and other content areas – attainable through the iPads and free apps.
All the Jefferson teachers will get iPads for use in 2013-14, said Principal Becky Wilson. She is using federal Title I funds for those purchases.
Savannah River Remediation also donated a grant that will provide funding for some Apple TVs, allowing teachers to create hubs for the iPads that can wirelessly put student and teacher work on a classroom SmartBoard for all to see.
"Look at the world around us," Wilson said Monday. "I have two kids in school, and, if they want to know something, they can find YouTube and apps. There are so many opportunities, such as science apps that can give students the scenario of a lab and are so much more affordable."
Such organizations as PEP are known as Local Education Foundations – nonprofits that provide advocacy for public education.
"PEP is very happy to able to able to fund some of these very needed and important programs," said Director Jeff Howell in a email.
Apps available through the iPads can tap into new Common Core academic standards used by nearly all states throughout the nation.
"The teacher becomes more mobile and can have small groups or one-on-one work," Enlow said. "The technology adds more excitement for kids who have grown up with it. But it's only as good as what a teacher can do with it. It doesn't take the place of good, sound teaching in the classroom. It just becomes a resource."

Super exciting though, I have to write a 5 page paper for my intro to business class and I got approved to write mine on entrepreneurship and Etsy! How cool is that? I may want to interview one or two people about their Etsy shop so stay tuned for that. I have a feeling I'm actually going to have fun writing this paper!
So NaNoWriMo starts TODAY! The goal is to write 1,667 words each day but I'm going to shoot for double that on the days that I don't work. Which means today I've got to write 3334 words. I can do that, right? I'm going to do a NaNo update every Tuesday and if you're doing NaNo too please find me and be my buddy! My username is Mrs.Hartie.
Is anyone else super excited that it's November? Although I'm not thrilled with the cold weather (aside from the fact that I'm getting to wear my beautiful purple coat, which I adore) I am excited for the holidays. It's taking all I have to not break out the Christmas decor! I've even started my Christmas shopping and have Dustin's present almost done. Not if the snow could just not happen till Christmas Eve and then go away New Year's Day I'll be a happy camper!
So happy November 1st all! Have a wonderful Monday!

The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, governs the process whereby the President or an administrative agency obtains advice from groups that include one or more non-federal employees. It places various limits on the formation of such groups and requires that group meetings be open to public attendance and permit at least a limited degree of public participation. Though Congress has occasionally amended FACA,[...

2. Select ideas - Completed
3. Council approval - Completed
4. Picking a researcher - Completed
5. Committee consideration - Completed
6. Back to the council - Completed
7. Consideration by the full conference - Completed
8. Implementation - Current
Recommendation 2011-7, The Federal Advisory Committee Act—Issues and Proposed Reforms, addresses the issue of whether the Federal Advisory Committee Act ("FACA") is functioning effectively and efficiently almost 40 years after its enactment. The recommendation offers three sets of proposed revisions to the existing FACA regime to make the law more relevant in light of agency experience with FACA and 21st century technologies. Specifically, the recommendation includes proposals designed to clarify the scope of FACA and its implementing regulations, alleviate certain procedural burdens associated with the existing regime, and promote "best practices" aimed at enhancing the transparency and objectivity of the advisory committee process.
Final Recommendation
- Recommendation number: 2011-7
- Adopted on: December 9, 2011
- Committees: Collaborative Governance
At its Plenary Session on December 8-9, 2011, the Administrative Conference of the United States adopted Recommendation 2011-7, regarding proposed reforms to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and best practices in agencies' compliance therewith. This recommendation contains a number of reforms designed to clarify the scope of the Act (and exempt certain activities from FACA), alleviate the procedural burden associated therewith, and encourage certain "best practices" that greatly increase the transparency of advisory committee activities without imposing a substantial compliance burden on agencies.

Joan Rivers Sparks Twitter Beef With Rihanna Over Chris Brown
Joan Rivers is an outspoken ole lady but why in the heck did it take her so long to comment on Rihanna's Oprah interview that happened almost a week ago?
Just as RiRi thought the dust had settled on her emotional interview with Oprah where she revealed that she not only still loves Chris Brown but she also still believes he's the love of her life, Joan Rivers came out the wood works swinging. Yesterday, the 79 year old posted to her twitter:
"Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap her."
And of course Rihanna responded,
"Wow u really do get slow when you're old huh?
Slap on some diapers"
Which is kind of PG, considering the ratchet tweets that Ri has sent to folks that have criticized her in the past. She once tweeted Celebuzz, 'your p-ssy is way too dry to be riding my d-ck like this', and we all know how her tweef with Ciara went. There has to be a respect your elders clause in there somewhere..
Joan, of course, got the last word in by tweeting Rihanna:
"Honey, @Rihanna, everyone knows: If he hit you once, he'll hit you again. Read the statistics. PS – Love to have you on Fashion Police!"
She tried it.
Meanwhile, it'll be interesting to see if Rihanna will run back into Chris' arms and if the two will run off in the sunset together one day in the future when they really stop caring what the press and their fans will think. There will be tons of backlash but it seems as though it's bound to happen.

Things I liked:I bought this on pyramid air and it was a refurbished .25 caliber model and when it showed up it looked brand new. You could tell the box was opened and that was it. This gun is powerful wow. Accuracy is hands down the best I have shot. I cleaned the barrel before shooting it. Yes the air rifle is loud, sounds like a 22 rimfire going off. But this was no secret before I bought it. But I wanted the most power and this comes with more then the stock condor ss. The best part I like about the rifle is how light it is. Makes caring very easy.
Things I would have changed:The only thing I didn't care for was the very limited manual that comes with it. It tells you the safety of it and major parts of the air rifle but that's it. Not how to take it apart or any maintenance. For as much as you pay for it I think they could have done a lot better with the manual.
What others should know:Your going to love this gun! It hits the targets like a hammer. .25 caliber is the ticket if you want to take medium size game. The sole reason I bought this was I had other pcp rifles that always had air leaks that were a pain to figure out. This rifle has 2 in the tank that are simple to fix.
Things I liked:This gun is awesome! Power, accuracy, looks, sound!
Things I would have changed:The price. Although the gun is worth it!
What others should know:A lot of pumping is required to do a lot of shooting. It is a workout.
Things I liked: I like everything about this gun. It is the best .25 caliber air gun that I have owned. Excellent quality and accurate. The Condor is exceptionally powerful.
Things I would have changed:Add an option of factory fiber optic sights. Otherwise great job.
What others should know: I live in the country side where people target practice with firearms, but this gun had the attention of the nearest neighbor. It is loud, not for town use. Still a great air rifle.

Right on schedule, OS X 10.9 appears in server logs
Now that Apple's on an iOS-like yearly update schedule for the Mac's OS X operating system, it'd be big news if we didn't start to see traces of the next version, OS X 10.9, start appearing in server logs sometime that is soonish. Well, no cause for concern, because the next big cat is out of the bag and stealthily surfing the web. Seth Weintraub from 9to5Mac posted this morning that he'd been seeing 10.9 in his logs, so I checked iMore's and sure enough, it's there too.
We probably won't hear much more about 10.9 until Apple formally announces the beta sometime next year. But if nothing else, you can rest assured newly anointed SVP of Software Engineering, Craig Frederighi and company are already hard at work on it.
And since they might be reading this very post, why not take a minute and let them know what you'd like to see in OS X 10.9? Per-app AirPlay so we can work on one app while mirroring another? iBooks for OS X? Reupholstering of the linen and stitched leather to something more Ive-inspired, like aluminium? Documents in the Cloud that aren't tied to specific apps but can be accessed via a unified repository? A much better, much more social Game Center?
What's on top of your OS X hit-list?

Right on schedule, OS X 10.9 appears in server logs
There's actually a really nifty way to do that--just install snow leopard!
I would like to have a option that makes my computer act a little more like iOS. This could be a option that you could turn on and off. In other words, after I type a word, I would like to hit my Space Bar twice and get a period. Because of my iPad and iPhone I have been conditioned. Then I get on my computer and by habit...
Siri Would Be Awsome They Would Port It Like On The iPad!
I'd like first party support/replacement/enhancement for the things I automatically do each time I set up a Mac.
1. Alfred/Quicksilver - A complete overhaul of Spotlight and Launchpad combined into one product, activated by a single key press or gesture. Used for launching apps, finding files/folders, searching iTunes/App Store, composing an iMessage/Facetime call, etc. I would also like to see this designed in a way that it's a consistent user experience across both iOS and OS X.
2. Moom - I'd like to see better integrated gesture and keyboard window management. Do people really use the traffic lights anymore?? Maybe they could do with a rethink.
3. System tools - As much as I don't want to be a proponent of replacing iStat menus (Sorry Marc), I would like to see more integrated system monitoring tools: What apps are using what resources, app based network usage, which apps chew the battery, etc.
All of things are available as third-party apps for the most part, but only those who know of them of specifically go looking will discover them. I think they need to be there by default, and be ubiquitous.
A fix for black screen of death glitch that has been bugging me since OS X Lion, and now OS X Mountain Lion.
I want Find My Friends on my mac.

Last week, the McFarlane staff descended on the "City of Bridges" for MLB All-Star week. Pittsburgh was home to this year's John Hancock All-Star Fan Fest, where we had two exclusive figures for sale: Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell. We made 3,000 of each and featured them in uniforms from their respective 1971 and 1979 World Series Championships. The classic Pirates icons touched the hearts of collectors and local fans alike. Both figures sold quickly, making it a successful event.
We also displayed many of our current products and soon-to-be released figures. We had to pry a few Steelers fans off of the Troy Polamalu/Matt Hasselback two-pack that we brought to display.
We had a great experience in Pittsburgh and enjoyed the opportunity to interact with fans. We'd also like to say thank you to Pittsburgh and Primanti Brothers for satiating our staff with some the largest and messiest sandwiches on the planet.
Online Contest Winners
We'd also like to announce the winners of our Fan Fest exclusive giveaway. Three winners that weren't able to make it to Pittsburgh will walk away with not only Stargell and Clemente figures, but also an official size MLB base with the Pittsburgh 2006 MLB All-Star game logo featured on it, care of our friends at Schutt Sports, www.schuttsports.com.
The winners are:John William MacKinnon of Charlottetown, P.E.I, CanadaRuth Knapp of Scott, La.Jaime Cummings of Orange Park, Fla.Thank you to everyone who entered the contest and came to our booth to see us!

The X Factor
Cheryl Cole Sues X Factor's Producers For $2.3 Million
This is one split that is not particularly amicable.
Cheryl Cole has sued the production company that produces The X Factor, according to Deadline. She claims that she is owed money for Season 2, even though she has long been let go from the show.
Cheryl believes that she has a pay-or-play contract that entitles her to the $2 million fee that she would have earned as a judge on the second season.
And apparently $2 million isn't quite enough for Cheryl. She is also asking for additional money for the perks that she would have earned as a judge, which includes an additional $300K for her wardrobe, stylist, and a hotel or apartment in L.A., along with a $2,500 living allowance per month (!). Wow!
Simon Cowell brought Cheryl over to the U.S. to serve as a judge, but she was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger before the first season even began. Nicole was then replaced by Britney Spears.
And here we thought that the performers on the show had a lot to worry about.
