College football coaches are handing out more scholarship offers than ever, but those offers have never meant less.
Verbal commitments have always been non-binding until players signed letters of intent on national signing day. But with offers coming sooner and in great number, players are being forced to commit earlier and schools are finding it harder to honor offers.
According to Rivals.com, Alabama has 205 offers and Ohio State has 202 offers out for the 2015 class. To put those numbers into perspective, Alabama's 2014 class was made up of just 26 recruits and Ohio State's 2014 class was made up of 23 recruits, according to Rivals.com.
"We call it blanket offering," said Mike Farrell, a recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. "You're just offering a ton of kids and you're slow playing the ones you don't want."
St. Andrew's tight end Jake Bargas was a victim of this recruiting strategy. According to Bargas, he tried to verbally commit to Duke multiple times, but the Blue Devils would not accept it.
"Duke kept pushing me away," said Bargas, who is ranked as the seventh-best prospect on the PBgametime.com Class of 2015 Big Board. "They kept telling me to wait because they had to get other kids on campus."
Bargas didn't want to wait, however. He called Blue Devils head coach David Cutcliffe to find out what was going on.
Bargas says Cutcliffe told him he should not commit to Duke because the school didn't know if it would be able to honor its offer.
This was all Bargas needed to hear to start looking elsewhere. After being burned by Duke, the three-star recruit ended up committing to Wake Forest in June.
Coaches are not allowed to talk about individual recruits until they have signed letters of intent.
"There were a lot of other tight ends that had Wake Forest high on their lists and the last thing I wanted to do was lose Wake, too," Bargas said. "That's why kids are committing early.
"A lot of times, it's the college's fault because they offer too many spots to kids and it's hard for kids to make a decision when they don't know which offers are legit. It's not an easy process."
State schools' offer lists keep growing
In the spring, Oxbridge Academy coach Doug Socha heard the term "non-committable offer" for the first time. This variation of an offer does not require much accountability from colleges.
"Some schools didn't even look at my film, they just offered me," Bargas said. "But I think before a school offers a kid, they should really do their research and make sure they have interest in that kid."
According to Farrell, Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino is known for throwing out a large amount of offers. The Cardinals currently have 312 offers out for the 2015 class and 84 offers out for the 2016 class, according to Rivals.com.
Within the state of Florida, Miami has already handed out 242 offers to 2015 recruits. Florida and Florida State and Florida Atlantic are trailing with 212, 178 and 130 offers, respectively.
A Florida spokesman said the school's number of offers on Rivals.com was not accurate, but declined to comment further. A Miami spokesman said the school does not comment on recruiting offers, and Florida State could not be reached for comment.
FAU coach Charlie Partridge did not comment on the amount of offers the program has extended, but believes social media is to blame for the trend.
"A lot more people know about offers because of social media," Partridge said. "I really don't think there has been a big change, I just think it's more widely known."
"Blanket offering" wasn't always used, as Florida (108), Florida Atlantic (37), Florida State (86) and Miami (94) combined to offer 325 recruits in the 2007 class.
"If a school finds a kid that's better than a player that plays the same position, they will pull that offer at the last minute," Dwyer coach Jack Daniels said. "They are going to do whatever they want to do. I wouldn't put it past any school to pull an offer."
Do NCAA recruiting dates need tweaks?
With colleges overbooking their recruiting classes, players are being pressured to make verbal commitments early in the process to claim a spot. According to Rivals.com, 11 of the top 25 recruits in the Class of 2015 have already verbally committed to schools with six months remaining until signing day.
"Recruits are scared," Farrell said. "It's one of those things that they're just being told many different things without a lot to stand on. If a school is saying now or never or they are going to take somebody else at their position, what are they going to do? They are going to freak out and jump on board."
According to Farrell, one of the ways to help prevent "blanket offering" is to amend an NCAA bylaw. In April 2010, the NCAA changed bylaw 188.8.131.52 to delay the date in which a college could send a written offer to a prospect from Sept. 1 of his junior year to Aug. 1 of his senior year.
Friday marked the first day colleges could send written offers to Class of 2015 recruits.
With schools unable to extend written offers until just before a recruit's senior season, verbal offers have become common.
"It was not thought out well because now verbal offers are handed out like candy since there's no paper to back it up," Farrell said of the rule change. "The attempt to slow down the process has actually sped up the process."
Farrell believes the date a written offer can be handed out should be pushed forward to Sept. 1 of a recruit's freshman season because it will hold colleges accountable.
Palm Beach Gardens linebacker Tevon Coney, who is the top prospect on the PBgametime.com Class of 2015 Big Board, said he takes offers seriously when schools follow up with him on issues outside of football.
"This whole recruiting process is a business," Coney said. "Coaches have to make sure they bring in the right guys to have the chance to win a bowl game. I definitely understand that because that's their job. But the recruit's job is to do what's best for them."

If we are going to redesign it, we should design it without such a limit, so that we wouldn't have to redesign it again (why we need more than 64 --- for example to take periodic snapshots every few minutes to record system activity). The limit on number of snapshots can be dropped if we index b-tree nodes by a key that contains chunk number and range of snapshot numbers where this applies.Unfortunately it's the limitation of the current b-tree format. As far as I know, there is no code that we can use, which supports unlimited and writable snapshot.
I've recently worked on the limit of 64 snapshots and the storage cost of 2x64bits per modified chunk. A btree format that fixes these two issue is described in this post: http://lwn.net/Articles/288896/ If you have the time / energy, I believe that this format will work well and be simple and elegant. I can't speak for Daniel Phillips, but I suspect he is concentrating on tux3 and not on getting this format into Zumastor.
If you don't want to implement "versioned pointers," an earlier format change is implemented as a patch against Zumastor here: http://groups.google.com/group/zumastor/browse_thread/thread/523ee7925add3dfc/a5d26a4b48fd8906?lnk=gst&q=#a5d26a4b48fd8906It removes the 64 snapshot limit and reduces the meta-data storage requirements, but does not support snapshots of snapshots. This patch has undergone reasonable testing and can be considered beta level code.
With both of these formats, in the context of the Zumastor codebase, the number of snapshots is limited by a requirement that all metadata about a specific chunk fit within a single btree node. This limits the number of snapshots to approximately a quarter the chunk size. i.e. 4k chunks would support approximately 500 snapshots. Removing that restriction would increase the number of supported snapshots by a factor of eight, at which point the next restriction
is encountered.
- deleting the snapshot --- this needs to walk the whole b-tree --- it is slow. Keeping another b-tree of chunks belonging to the given snapshot would be overkill. I think the best solution would be to split the device into large areas and use per-snapshot bitmap that says if the snapshot has some exceptions allocated in the pertaining area (similar to the dirty-bitmap of raid1). For short lived snapshots this will save walking the b-tree. For long-lived snapshots there is no help to speed it up... But delete performance is not that critical anyway because deleting can be done asynchronously without user waiting for it.
I don't know if it would be useful for your port, but there are some patches floating around the Zumastor mailing list that implement background delete. They're not production ready but are a good start on the implementation. -- Steve

Very high quality jacket. The ONLY reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are: 1) too expensive compared to similar jackets; 2) size chart inaccurate, so I got the wrong size; 3) took too long to get it, and it arrived one day after I had already left for my trip. Had to wear a different jacket and returned this one. But hey, if you don't mind paying a LOT, waiting for ~2 weeks to receive it, and then be annoyed that it doesn't fit right because you trusted the size chart, ...then go for it. Honestly, this is the first time I've experienced an Olympia jacket, and it is very high quality. I'm just sorry it didn't work out for me.

Having sped to a 3-0 start, the Baldwinsville boys basketball team wanted more success out of its annual trip to East Syracuse-Minoa's Vince Celi Memorial Tournament - but could not even win a game as it absorbed a pair of frustrating defeats.
It all started with Monday's opening round, against Auburn. Leading the entire first half, the Bees could not keep the Maroons' Mike Granato from taking over as his side beat B'ville by a score of 70-66.
With a well-balanced attack, B'ville started out on a 12-3 spurt in the game's first four minutes. For the rest of the half, the Bees' defenders took turns containing Granato (who had just four points) and led by as much as 10 before going to the break with a 32-25 edge.
It was 34-25 when, in the third quarter, Granato went into high gear. He had 10 of the points as the Maroons used a 17-3 run to move in front. All told, Granato had 17 points in that period and would finish with 32 points overall.
Refusing to go away, B'ville, down 62-52 late in the fourth quarter, used six straight points to move within 62-58. But three starters - Kevin Roy, Nick Riley and Brett Charbonneau - fouled out in the closing minutes, thwarting the rally.
Ricky Kompf led B'ville's late push and set a career mark with 20 points. Roy had 12 points, with Chris Whalen adding 10 points. Charbonneau and Willie Hython each got nine points.
So in the consolation game, the Bees met the hosts from ESM, who had seen its own second-half lead disappear against Mexico in a 61-56 defeat. Here, the Bees would lead late - but could not hold on in a 70-68 defeat decided at the buzzer.
Twice, B'ville fell behind double digits, in the first and third quarters. Both times, it came back as Roy (whose 18 points made him an All-Tournament selection) and Hython, who finished with 19 points, led the way.

Full Speed Ahead: Employment and Labor Initiatives During the President's Second Term -
The purpose of this Commentary (and next month's) is to provide a forward-looking view of the regulatory and enforcement priorities of the federal labor and employment agencies in the second term of President Barack Obama. In addition to providing background on the Department of Labor's regulatory initiatives, including "Plan/Prevent/Protect" and "Right to Know," this Commentary will highlight additional proposed regulations and enforcement priorities in the Wage and Hour Division, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as developments related to the National Labor Relations Board. In next month's Commentary, we will examine the NLRB and its increasingly aggressive inroads into non-union workplaces.
Background -
The levers of power in Washington did not shift hands in 2012. As a consequence, prognosticating about the future direction of our nation's employment and labor laws in the next four years requires little more than an examination of the enforcement and policy priorities of the past four. While employers can bemoan the decidedly "pro-labor" agenda of the current administration, they can also take comfort in the certainty that comes with continuity in the executive branch. With a divided Congress returning in January along with the re-elected president, we can expect that the president's legislative agenda will be muted in comparison to the Department of Labor's ("the Department") and other agencies' robust enforcement and policy agenda in the coming years. The president's second-term agenda will likely include the following elements, in addition to others more fully described below...

|The History of Turkish Jews
|Written by © Naim A. GÜLERYÜZ
Page 1 of 7
On the midnight of August 2nd 1492, when Columbus embarked on what would become his most famous expedition to the New World, his fleet departed from the relatively unknown seaport of Palos because the shipping lanes of Cadiz and Seville were clogged with Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain by the Edict of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain.
In the faraway Ottoman Empire, one ruler extended an immediate welcome to the persecuted Jews of Spain, the Sephardim. He was the Sultan Bayazid II. In 1992, the Discovery year for all those connected to the American continents - North, Central and South - world Jewry was concerned with commemorating not only the expulsion, but also seven centuries of the Jewish life in Spain, flourishing under Muslim rule, and the 500th anniversary of the official welcome extended by the Ottoman Empire in 1492.
This humanitarianism demonstrated at that time, was consistent with the beneficence and goodwill traditionally displayed by the Turkish government and people towards those of different creeds, cultures and backgrounds. Indeed, Turkey could serve as a model to be emulated by any nation which finds refugees from any of the four corners of the world standing at its doors.
In 1992, Turkish Jewry celebrated not only the anniversary of this gracious welcome, but also the remarkable spirit of tolerance and acceptance which has characterized the whole Jewish experience in Turkey. The events being planned - symposiums, conferences, concerts, exhibitions, films and books, restoration of ancient Synagogues etc - commemorated the longevity and prosperity of the Jewish community. As a whole, the celebration aimed to demonstrate the richness and security of life Jews have found in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic over seven centuries, and showed that indeed it is not impossible for people of different creeds to live together peacefully under one flag.

After more than 20 years of living in Las Vegas, Barb Bremer has made the return home to the Sedalia and is now the administrative assistant to Linda Christle at Economic Development Sedalia-Pettis County.
Bremer was born in El Dorado Springs, where her father worked on missile silos in the 1960s.
During school Barb spent all 12 years attending the Smithton School District where she graduated.
After graduation Bremer went on to attend State Fair Community College before moving to the Kansas City area to continue her studies.
"I took some college here at State Fair and then I moved to Kansas City and went to Devry. I got an associates in word processing from Platte University," Bremer said of her education.
Bremer was asked what was next for here after finishing school.
"From there I moved to Las Vegas. My mom, her friend and I went out to Vegas for my twenty-first birthday. I told my mom that I was staying and she told me to at least come back and pack. Two weeks later I moved out there," Bremer explained.
Bremer was asked what she did for a job while she lived in Las Vegas.
"I did my own computer business for a few years, and prior to that I worked for the Post Office in the IT department, but mostly I worked for casinos," Bremer said.
Bremer has been with her significant other Ray Lane, for the past eight years.
Bremer has two children.
"I have one boy. He will be 23 in January. I do have a daughter that I adopted out in 1991. She still lives in Vegas," Bremer said.
Barb still has contact with her daughter.
"Thank God for Facebook," she said with a smile.
Bremer was asked the reasoning for moving back to Sedalia after all the years away.
"All my family is back here," she said.
Bremer was asked if she is involved with any local organizations or boards.
"Not yet," she replied before adding "I didn't want to get involved in everything right off the bat. I wanted to see what groups are out there and see what fits."
Bremer moved back to Sedalia in July of this year and began working for the EDSPC in October.
Bremer was asked what her duties include.
"Planning various meetings and get togethers, telephones, a little bit of everything. I am still getting used to a different environment. Here it is manufacturing and in Vegas it was casinos," she said.
Bremer was asked if she enjoys her job.
"Very much. Linda is a great person to work for. She gives me direction and lets me run with it," Bremer said.
In her spare time Barb enjoys sewing.
"I really have to be in the mood to do it. When it is cold outside it is easier," she said.
She added, "I like to spend time with my family. My mom lives here in town. My fiance and I would like to travel. I would like to go to Italy and he would love to go to Ireland. They are on our wish lists."

Covers of scientific journals serve to identify the publication and protect the contents. In addition, they may entertain or inform. Many covers carry simply the title of the journal, the issue, and the publisher. Some identify the editors, editorial board, or associated organizations or provide highlights or titles of featured articles, reviews, or symposia. A number of old and established publications—including Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, and Circulation—print part or all of the table of contents on the cover. There is much to be said for this practice. It is a nononsense approach that gets on with the business of the publication: scientific communication. The reader is provided with instant information, and the articles must attract the reader on their own rather than through a leadin provided, for example, by a reprint of the frontispiece of Vesalius' De humani corporis fabrica or other historic prints or art

As of Friday, June 21, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
I was doing really well at my new career of trip planner and tour guide. I really was. I got 50 people to Boston and back safely on my maiden voyage, without creating an international incident — or even a sectional one. Well, there was that one Yankee in Faneuil Hall, but that wasn't so much of an incident as an annoyance.
We had the same number of takeoffs and landings and nobody fell and broke a hip and nobody got lost or sick on the bus. I call that win, win, win. This week I ventured back to the Northeast. Took the same flight to Boston. Ate the same lunch at Cheers. Saw a game at Fenway Park. It was delayed because of rain and a few folks had a partially obstructed view of the field because of the girders, but that's part of the charm of sitting in a baseball stadium that is 101 years old. And not even I can control the weather. The rain stopped. We got the game in before midnight and the Red Sox won with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth — right over the Green Monster. I told Dorsey Hill he should have come with us. He really missed something!
The next day we motored over to Cooperstown to take in the Baseball Hall of Fame and the pilgrimage was worth every scenic mile. We stood in reverence and read about Cobb and Ruth and Gehrig and the little man with us named Maddux Seagraves got to see the glove his namesake wore to set a major league record for put-outs. Next year, he can come back and see him inducted.
Yes, things were going really well and I had kept my cool and handled my new job without a glitch — until. Yep. You knew there was going to be an "until" or a "but" coming, didn't you? Things were going unusually well until we dropped into a New Jersey diner for lunch. Then we had to deal with the language barrier. What we had was a failure to communicate.
This is what happened. A group of us were seated around a corner six-top and a rather brusque lady came by to take our drink orders. My first instinct was to tell everyone to order water, but I didn't want word to get around that Darrell Huckaby cut corners on his trips — so I said nothing. We should have all had water, y'all.
I told our server that I would like to have a Co-Cola. Her response was "What?"
I repeated, slower, "A Co-Cola, please."
I swear before the Sanhedrin, this is what she said. "I don't know what that is."
I started to explain but we had a lot of miles left to go, so I told her that I would drink water.
Meanwhile, at the table behind me, I head Mark Collins having a "discussion" with his waitress, a pretty young thing who had already served his table's drinks. Therein lies the rub. "Ma'am," I heard Mark tell her politely, "I ordered a Coke."
"That's what I brought you," she insisted, bless her heart.
"It doesn't taste like Coke," Mark insisted.
"We serve Pepsi," the girl explained, and then made the fatal mistake of adding, "It's the same thing."
Oops. I didn't get to listen to the lecture Mark gave the young lady. I do know that he was very nice about it, but I am equally certain that the young lady in question will never again attempt to make the point that Pepsi and Coca-Cola are one and the same — at last not in the midst of a tour group from Georgia.
Meanwhile, back at our table, we were still not out of the woods. A couple of our younger travelers, who had never been north of the Mason-Dixon Line — or north of the Chattahoochee River, for that matter — were trying to order sweet iced tea. At first our lady tried to tell them that they had iced tea and could bring them sugar. Our folks were sophisticated enough to know that wasn't going to work. Then she tried to sell them on ordering raspberry tea, from a can.
We weren't falling for that one, either.
We finally all had water. You don't even want to know what happened when she started explaining to the teens on our trip about wedding soup with meatballs and spinach. I was castigated for adding mayo to my corned beef on rye, but I let it slide. I just wanted to have my lunch and head to Yankee Stadium.
But we survived the battle of the New Jersey diner without a single casualty. I'm not making any promises about the invasion of Manhattan, which comes next. All I know is I am having a ball at my new career and the next trip will visit virtually all the fields of valor upon which the Army of Northern Virginia fought during the recent unpleasantness. Y'all come go with me.
We are visiting Gettysburg, but I have learned my lesson. I'm taking a whole cooler full of little Co-Colas, just in case we get caught behind enemy lines.

Sluggish start dooms Eagles to 62-51 loss in championship game
February 21, 2012
It wasn't where Nick Price wanted to be.
After the Issaquah High School Eagles were only able to string together 16 points in the first half of the KingCo Conference 4A boys championship game Feb. 17 against Garfield, he was saddled with early foul trouble and was forced to the sidelines for the majority of the third quarter.
Issaquah rallied for an 18-9 run to bring the game within 10 points in the third, but the Eagles lost the contest 62-51 at Juanita High School.
"It's always a factor when your best player gets into foul trouble, but at the same time the other kids and the younger guys stepped up," Issaquah coach Jason Griffith said. "That's when we went on a run. When Nick came back in, he played more like Nick."
He credited the Bulldogs' strength as the best offensive rebounding team in the league — a major factor as Garfield took the lead by as many as 21 points in the first half.
"We had a hard time getting into the rhythm," he said. "We were forcing shots and we didn't really play to our strengths, which is getting to the rim, making the extra pass and playing good defense."
Griffith said he knew his team had the talent and dedication to end up in the championship game early on in the season.
Liberty wrestler Hamilton Noel finishes sixth at Mat Classic
February 21, 2012
When the last chapter closed on the 2012 Mat Classic, all it said about Hamilton Noel's performance was that the Liberty High School senior finished sixth in the 160-pound division at the Class 3A Tournament.
Not a word about his heart, of which he displayed plenty in the Tacoma Dome. Not a comma about his tears, of which there were also a few. Not a period about how he stepped on the mat weakened by an unspecified ailment that made him look almost nothing like the Noel that dominated at Regionals.
At the end, the fact that Mercer Island's Blake Johnson, the wrestler who won 160-pound state title was the same Noel defeated at the regional finals seven days earlier, seemed to do nothing but add insult to an already injured warrior.
Kasen Williams leads parade of 2011 best efforts from individuals, teams
December 27, 2011
It was a year of state titles for Skyline High School, and the end of a career for a Spartan who always seemed to be in championship form.
When he graduated last spring, Skyline's Kasen Williams left a legacy that might never be duplicated in the Issaquah School District. He was definitely the most dominant figure in the local sports scene in 2011.
Skyline Spartans continue dynasty, conquer state championship
December 6, 2011
Skyline wins sixth title since 2000 with 38-7 dominance over Skyiew
TACOMA — Before heading to the field for his second 4A state championship football game as a starter, Skyline High School junior quarterback Max Browne sat in the same chair in the same locker room as he did last year.
Skyline beats Skyview at its game
December 6, 2011
Skyview, which had rolled by 11 opponents en route to the Class 4A state title game in the Tacoma Dome, finally felt what it was like to get shut down.
"A little bit of a role reversal there, huh?" said Skyview coach Steve Kizer in an interview with The Columbian newspaper. "Looks like they (Skyline) took a page out of our book."
Skyview was averaging 47.8 points per game. But something was different this time. On a night where the word "sky" seemed to be omnipresent — the Storm never got its offense off the ground.
"Their coverage was great today," Skyview quarterback Kieran McDonagh said. "That (Skyline) was a real physical team."
Skyline Spartans clinch state football championship
December 4, 2011
NEW — 9 a.m. Dec. 4, 2011
The Skyline Spartans are state champs for the fourth time in five years after beating the Skyview Storm 38-7 Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.
Skyline used a strong running attack and typical air attack to take it to Skyview.
But The Spartan defense also played a huge role in the dominant effort at state. Three different defenders intercepted passes from Skyview's Kieran McDonagh, including Jack Valencia's 74-yard interception return for a touchdown with 34 seconds left in the game.
Junior quarterback Max Browne finished the night completing 15 of 22 pass attempts for 222 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Running back Damian Greene ran the ball 16 times for 76 yards and a touchdown. Valencia finished with 43 yards rushing and also punched through for an 11-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Family LB heritage safe in hands of Skyline's Peyton Pelluer
December 2, 2011
NEW — 11 a.m. Dec. 2, 2011
Back when Scott Pelluer was playing linebacker for the New Orleans Saints, he would occasionally play catch with a teammate's son.
The teammate was quarterback Archie Manning. The son was future National Football League star quarterback Peyton Manning.
Pelluer and his wife, Kim, liked the name so much they named their youngest son after the Manning child, who became the first pick of the 1998 draft and a four-time league MVP.
As Peyton Pelluer grew up, genetics took over and he didn't follow in Peyton Manning's footsteps. Now a junior at Skyline High School, Peyton Pelluer is one of the top middle linebackers in the state.
Skyline Spartans defense does in Woodinville Falcons, 26-21
November 29, 2011
Even when the Woodinville Falcons were poised for a last-minute comeback, the Skyline High School football team seemed confidant that on the field things would go its way. Read more
Skyview stands in way of Skyline's sixth title
November 29, 2011
The Sky is definitely the limit.
Two high schools, both with "Sky" in their names, who opened the same year (1997), collide at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 for the 4A state football championship in the Tacoma Dome.
Skyline's Spartans (10-3) will be seeking a sixth state title. The Spartans have won a state title four times in the past five years. The Tacoma Dome has been like a second home field for the Spartans, who have won nine of their last 10 games in the stadium.
Skyview (11-2), located down in Vancouver, Wash., is making its first title appearance. The closest the Storm has ever come to the finals was in 2009 when it lost to Ferris, 46-41, in the semifinals.
Tacoma Dome is a second home for Skyline
November 25, 2011
NEW — 10 a.m. Nov. 25, 2011
Every time Skyline High School football coach Mat Taylor drives past the Tacoma Dome with his family, his boys, Jackson and Cole, say the same thing.
"That's where daddy plays."
Since Jackson was born in 2005, the Spartans have advanced to the state-title game five times. Cole, 3, has not experienced a season in which his father's team didn't finish indoors.
"It's kind of what my family has grown up with," said Taylor, who met his wife, Katie, during the school's 2000 championship season. "Not just the success, but just being a part of Skyline football."
The Spartans (9-3) are again heading back to the Tacoma Dome, this time to play second-ranked Woodinville (12-0) Saturday in the Class 4A semifinals at 1 p.m.

Chresanto Augest/Roc Royal
"Roc darling_ we need to talk." Jessica said through the phone.
"Jess, babe I'm kinda busy right now." I said, looking back at my best friends practicing over the route for the up coming tour.
"Roc_darling, it can't wait I'm moving back to New York tomorrow_"she said, sounding annoyed.
I frozen in the spot and hastily walked out of the studio, "What?!"
She sighed, "I'm moving back to New York." She said slowly talking in disdain.
I sighed not knowing what to do, " Don't talk to me like that... just hold up I'm coming over." I said before hanging up. Walking back into the studio I started packing my gym bag.
"Yo, Roc! where you going?" I heard Ray Ray say, as he hit the pause button.
"Jessica" I replied
"Nah man not this again..." Prince said in a strangled voice.
"Yeah, Roc... Prince is right." Prodigy agreed. "You can't keep on doing this, the girl is a she devil who only cares for herself. " he continued.
I signed," I'm sorry guys but I need to go." Prod shook his head, Prince ran his hand through his hair, Ray just sighed and hit the play button.
I sighed and put on my hood, grabbing my bag I left the studio.
Jessica's Apartment
"Jess, babe_ I knocked, okay I banged on the door_open the door!" I shouted
"Relax.... Jeess I'm coming!" I heard her say on the other side of the door.
I sighed,"Just open the door Jess..." I hissed.
She opened the door, wearing only a t-shirt that happened to be mine. " Chresanto..." She smiled sweetly.
"Jessica,- I pushed the door opened and walked in uninvited- what game are you playing at, I sighed, you pulled me out of my rehearsal Jess." I hissed as I spoke.
She turned around and raised her eyebrows at me. " I'm not playing any game, Roc my best friend is sick, and since I'm done here I think I can go back home." She said.
"Done!_ I throw my gym bag on the floor and turned to her_ What Do You Mean Your Done?!" I shouted, I know I was being ridiculous but damn I was in love with her. I didn't want to lose her. We'd been dating only for 3months, when I just finally got her to open up to me, she was as hard as a rock but somehow I got through.
"I mean, its not gonna work out Roc, I know I sound horrible but even if we did try, I'm not gonna lie I'll probably cheat on you the first day I'm away._ I stood there still not believing that the girl of my dreams actually didn't care_ so you see I'm saving us all the heart break." She smiled hesitantly.
I looked up to her, she was truly beautiful I wasn't that kind of guy that dated white chicks but somehow Jessica made a break through. I smiled sadly," You know what's funny?" I asked her

This Is Your Brain On Love
This week, we have been discussing the science of love. Between my blog, Facebook, and Twitter, a number of people have inquired as to the neurological basis of love. So, I decided to work with Chris Spurlock, The Huffington Post's incredible infographic designer, to present an interactive roadmap of the brain on love.

Lipase test
Lipase is a protein (enzyme) released by the pancreas into the small intestine. It helps the body absorb fat. This test is used to measure the amount of the lipase in the blood.
How the test is performed
A sample of blood will be taken from a vein.
How to prepare for the test
Do not eat for 8 hours before the test.
Your health care provider may ask you to stop taking medicines that may affect the test, such as:
- Bethanechol
- Birth control pills
- Cholinergic medications
- Codeine
- Indomethacin
- Meperidine
- Methacholine
- Morphine
- Thiazide diuretics
How the test will feel
You may feel slight pain on a sting when the needle is inserted to draw blood. There may be some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn. Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to take a blood sample from one person than another.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to check for disease of the pancreas, most often acute pancreatitis.
Lipase appears in the blood when the pancreas is damaged.
Normal Values
In general, normal results are 0 to 160 units per liter (U/L).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your test results.
Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What abnormal results mean
Higher-than-normal levels may be due to:
- Blockage of the bowel (bowel obstruction)
- Celiac disease
- Duodenal ulcer
- Cancer of the pancreas
- Infection of swelling of the pancreas
This test may also be done for familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
What the risks are
There is very little risk from your blood taken.
Other uncommon risks may include:
- Bleeding from the needle puncture site
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Blood collecting under the skin
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Water Quality District - Hazardous Waste
What are they?
Mothballs are a distinctive smelling, volatile solid, primarily used to repel moths. Mothballs contain chemicals designed to control pests and can be poisonous to pets, livestock, wildlife, and humans.
What Makes it Hazardous?
Mothballs contain either naphthalene or 1,4-dichlorobenzene. Both of these ingredients can produce harmful effects when inhaled. They are also poisonous if eaten. Dressing infants in clothing, or wrapping in blankets that were stored with naphthalene mothballs can cause poisoning.
Safety Tips
- Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
- Keep away from children and pets. Mothballs may look like candy to a child.
- To protect clothing without using mothballs: clean according to manufacturer's instructions and store in airtight containers.
Disposal Options
- Mothballs contain hazardous materials, and should not be placed in the trash.
- Annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event: Mothballs are accepted for disposal at Haz Waste Days , in September.

Ex-mortgage broker indicted for fraud
Amy B. Williams, 48, of Buford, Ga., has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges arising out of a scheme to defraud First Coweta Bank.
Williams was arraigned Thursday before United States Magistrate Judge J. Clay Fuller in Gainesville, Ga. "Bank fraud is a critical problem throughout the United States, but it has hit Georgia especially hard," said Northern District of Georgia United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. "Georgia leads the nation in bank failures since 2008, with 78 banks failing — including First Coweta Bank, the bank this defendant is charged with defrauding."
The former First Coweta Bank is now United Bank with an office on Bullsboro Drive near Greison Trail. According to Yates, the indictment, and other information presented in court: Williams was the sole owner of United International Mortgage (UIM) Corporation in Buford, Ga., and was in the business of arranging construction loans for residential builders. In April 2007, UIM closed three construction loans for one of its customers, Mainstreet Builders, Inc.
The loans were intended to finance the cost of constructing three new houses in Suwanee, Ga. The loans, which totaled more than $1.7 million, were funded by First Coweta Bank. Williams directed an unindicted coconspirator to forge signatures on loan documents and caused those documents to be faxed to First Coweta Bank.
The bank then wire transferred the loan proceeds to an account controlled by Williams. Williams was required to hold the money in trust for the builder and to disburse the money to the builder on a draw basis, as work on the three houses progressed. Instead, she used more than $1.1 million of this money to pay off her personal debt at another bank, and wire transferred $60,000 into her personal checking account.
After converting First Coweta Bank's money to her own use, Williams attempted to cover up her crime by emailing false documents and misleading photos to the bank. According to Mark F. Giuliano, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office, "The actions of Ms. Williams, as alleged in the indictment, directly led to the failure of the First Coweta Bank and, as such, clearly demonstrates the serious nature and impact of those actions. The FBI will continue to coordinate its bank fraud investigations with its various law enforcement partners in an effort to effectively identify, investigate, and present for prosecution those individuals who do so much harm to the banking industry."
The indictment charges one count of conspiracy and six counts of bank fraud. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000. In determining the actual sentence, the Court will consider the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which are not binding but provide appropriate sentencing ranges for most offenders.

Post a link to share and a little story telling why.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor -
Mutherfucker=Redeemer (Part 2)
from the album Yanqui U.X.O.
My favorite song. I'm big on albums having a really strong closing song. It leaves you breathless, makes you reflect on what you just heard and lasts with you hours after it's done. A song that's so good you actually feel sad that it's over.
Mutherfucker=Redeemer (Part 2)
is that song for me. It starts out pretty slow and mythotical for the first couple of minutes then breaks into that jangly main part. There's so much going on that it takes a few listens for you to realize all of it. It's pretty muddy sounding too so you really have to pay close attention to what's going on. But the rewards are worth it. There are three guitars going on, some of it in the background so when you notice it the song is taken to a whole other level. Then around seven minutes in it falls apart and that outro starts. That's what brings this album from "good song" to "best song ever". There are really few words and phrases to describe that part.
"Jesus Christ"
"Holy Shit"
? This expression:
Those are the best ones I can think of. This song could have been thirty minutes long and it would still be the best song ever. But since it's so short (ten minutes) it leaves you wanting more. But sometimes you have to know when to quit while youre ahead. Godspeed You! Black Emperor knew and it made for the best closing to an album ever. There are lots of songs I like but they come up on iTunes or my iPod and I'll skip them. I
skip this song. I first heard this song ten years ago. It was late at night and I was watching TV when I was listening to the whole album. There was some foreign film playing on whatever channel I was watching and the visuals from that movie matched up perfectly with this song. It was a surreal experience. The song has been my favorite song ever since and nothing else has come close.
I know exactly every word of which you speak. Sadly, I can't do that for one song. It's just not possible...because there's so many songs like the one you posted it's bananas. Closers to albums that leave you breathless? I guess you need to listen to the whole album for perspective and maximum impact, but here's a few.
Amorphis - Summer's End
Burzum - Tomhet
Goo Goo Dolls - So Far Away
The Maiden section:
When The Wild Wind Blows
The Legacy
Only The Good Die Young
The Unbeliever
yes I mean it
My Dying Bride - A Doomed Lover
U2 - Cedars Of Lebanon
ZZ Top - Asleep In The Desert
Sorry I couldn't do what you asked, for me it's not a possibility. But hopefully, someone here clicks on a link from a song they haven't heard and is inspired enough to feel what I feel.

I love discovery, spontaneity, world travel, creativity. I am playful yet serious. A hopeful cynic. A nice girl with an edge. Complicated yet simple. Straight with a twist. Well-educated and still learning. Hiker, kayaker and urban explorer. Deep conversationalist and casually funny. Globe trotter and home body. Raised in Boston, but prefer CA. Midwestern parents, but I'm told I look a little Greek. I'm not sure about online dating, but I'm open to the possibility. I'm looking for friendship first and if the connection feels right, then ideally a long-term relationship will unfold... where together life is more inspiring and more passionate than apart. I love my life and my career, but I understand how magical life can become when shared with a kindred spirit under the sun, in the rain, on top of a mountain, around the world, or in the comfort of home sweet home...

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I try to give something back to everyone I meet and create a sense of possibility wherever I go. I like to go running, biking, watch sports, see concerts, take weekend adventures, spend time with friends, read, learn and experience all the amazing things on this planet. I am an extroverted introvert. An art lover who can't draw and a food lover that doesn't really cook. I used to play violin and piano, but now love acoustic guitar and rock music. I love throwing parties, but I'm shy. I enjoy a huge events out with high energy or a low-key night curled up at home.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Packing my passport and a small bag for a big trip.
Putting myself in other people's shoes.
Seeing the humor in things.
Finding a new way. Enjoying today. Mending fences.
Feigning ignorance. Playing devil's advocate.
Reading between the lines. Missing the point.
Making plans to be spontaneous.

I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Perhaps you can tell me...
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Stephen Colbert is my favorite alum. Jon Stewart is my favorite New Yorker. Hedley's Kiss You Inside Out is my newest favorite song. I have such a wide interest in music, movies and books, that it would be best shared in person.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Things that make me laugh. Inspiration. Exceptional companionship. Wonderful friendships. Moments of true joy. Good health. Spending time outside in open spaces.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Have you ever noticed that after you've worked hard and hit a wall, once you move away from the problem, that only then the answer appears? After we've stopped searching for it?
Can thoughts become things?
Will zombies attack?
The day I can say I've gone on my last first date.

Five Fundamentals of Virtual Server Protection
With the benefits of sever virtualization blinding most of its new users, unintended consequences of data storage and data protection have begun to rise. The consolidation of physical servers and networking causes a massively converged—essentially gummed-up—IT infrastructure, where resources are already severely limited.
The key to a successful virtualized data center without storage and preservation problems comes from a rethought data protection strategy—do you know what to do?
Consult the following white paper to learn the five fundamentals of virtual server data protection that will ultimately ensure that your switch to data center virtualization will allot for the coveted cost-saving and agile benefits.

NHTSA Looking into Infiniti M45 Fuel Gauges, Ford, Chevy Van Corrosion Issues
sorry, i meant to put love not live.
i live the g wagon. its such a cool car IMO, and putting a 600hp v12 in it makes it even better. there was a time when I would get a range rover over this car, but that time has passed. range rovers are almost exclusively driven by trophy wives, hp-hop artists, and posers now. its like the new escalade. this car is so much cooler than a range rover now IMO
i couldn't agree with you more, but i had a friend who was an office, while i was in the USMC, and SHE brought me home one night after a few too many. she had a G55 AMG, dark blue-black interior. it had the supercharged 5.5L engine, and it was rediculous. i begged her to let me drive it when i was good to go, she agreed. i didnt get to really exploit it off road, but there was this 5 mile stretch of awsome gravel road, that made it feel like Gyhmkhana, but in slow-motion. and its chops on pavement was pretty dang good to boot. could smoke near anything at a red-light. it could be a little gut check like if you really got dumb with it, but it always let you know it was big, heavy, and already letting you know it was doing things it shouldn't. like i said before, i'll most likely never own, even used. they are an absolute money pit when things start breaking, it goes from bad to worst. my aforementioned friend had to put about $20K into it in a 5 year period. she knew what she had going into it, and she drove the hell out of. it was certainly a vehiclce that turned my eyes until i got to see and drive one.
I know it is part of the point but this is one of the most dated/boring looking Benz ever..
That's a stupid comment. Scion xB's are what come as toy's in this things breakfast cereal boxes...
That's a pretty cool Scion xB 4x4
not that i don't like or prefer mercedes to any other car, if i were to win the lottery i'd be first in line for a G65 AMG, holy hell, you could pull stuck semis out of ditches for fun. or just drag a mountain around.

Girls basketball: Poor start dooms Seahawks' hopes for state title
CLEARWATER — The goal at the beginning of the season for the Community School of Naples girls basketball team was simple: a Class 3A title or bust.
The Seahawks stumbled out of the gate, trailing 19-2, in Friday night's regional final at Calvary Christian, and those championship hopes were quickly fading.
The Seahawks battled back over the next two quarters, but the early hole was too much to overcome as Community School suffered a 53-32 loss.
"We just came out flat and played uncharacteristically in the first quarter and it was too much for us to battle back from," CSN coach Mitchell Woods said. "I was proud of the way we responded, but it shouldn't have come down to that. We just needed to have a better start if we wanted any chance to complete our goal of winning a championship."
Playing in front of a raucous home crowd, the Warriors scored the first 15 points before CSN's Ariana Garons scored on a layup with two minutes left in the first quarter.
The second quarter was almost a complete reversal of the first, as the Seahawks opened with 11 unanswered points before Savannah Plentovich gave the Warriors their only points of the frame on a 3-pointer.
A runner in the paint by Marguerite Bleh and a lay-in by Stephanie Paul gave the Seahawks new life at halftime. They trailed 22-17.
"At that point, we thought we might have them," said Paul, who finished with a team-high 11 points. "We had a good run in the third, but I just think we were too tired to come all the way back."
The two teams traded baskets for the first portion of the third quarter until a mini-run by the Seahawks pulled them to within 29-26.
Calvary Christian (23-4) switched from man-to-man to a zone defense and prevented the Seahawks from scoring the rest of the third quarter while finishing it on a 14-0 run, highlighted by Plentovich's seven points.
Plentovich finished with a game-high 31 points.
"It basically came down to the first quarter and that run in the third and (Plentovich)," Woods said. "Take those away and you have a different score at the end. But obviously, you can't and we have to live with the result."
