It's Time to Go Through Those Toys and Help Load The Lobby
Believe it or not, the holiday season is basically here. Once again, Y101, KICK-FM and WLIQ is gearing up for the 5th Annual "Load the Lobby" campaign, and once again we are asking for your help.
Beginning Monday, November 18 and running through December 13, we are asking that you help us Load the Lobby with new or good used toys for the less fortunate children in the area. Just drop them in our lobby at 24th and Broadway behind the Coach House Restaurant Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning November 18 and we will deliver them to the Salvation Army for their Toy Town Distribution.
If it is more convenient, you can also drop them off at our collection partner's KHQA-TV location at 301 South 36th Street. So perhaps this weekend might be a good time to go through all those toys your youngsters are no longer using and gather them up to help "load the lobby" which is currently empty as you can see.

West Allis Central came back twice and finally passed Brookfield Central for good with 6 minutes left to play, beating the Lancers, 63-59, Friday night at BCHS.
The win put the Bulldogs (9-2, 13-4) in first place, while the Lancers fell to second (8-3, 13-5). WAC has won 9 of 10 games, including seven straight in GMC play. The Lancers have lost three consecutive league games.
The Bulldogs led 22-19 with 4:11 left in the half, when the Lancers went on a 12-0 run to take a 31-22 lead with 1:09 to play. But baskets by Najeal McMillian and Tonnie Collier cut the lead to 31-26 at intermission.
The Lancers began the second half with a 12-6 run to increase their lead to 43-32 with 3:36 left in the quarter.Seth Mortag had six points and Riley LaChance four in that stretch.
But the Bulldogs came back and cut the lead to 46-44 after three periods behind McMillian (four points), Jaquan Carlson (three), Jarvis Garrett (three) and Darvell Brown (two) while all the Lancers could muster was a 3-pointer by LaChance.
The Lancers last lead was 50-48 on two frees and a basket by Mortag, before the Bulldogs took control with a 15-9 run the rest of the way.
Garrett hit a 3-pointer, Brown two free throws, Collier a rebound basket, McMillian a rebound basket, two free throws by Collier, a fastbreak basket and two free throws by Garrett.
Mortag had two free throws, Nick Olson scored a free throw and two baskets and Jack Sandstrom added a bucket on the buzzer for the Lancers in the last 4:13.
McMillian had 18 points, Collier 16, Garrett 14 and Brown 12, while LaChance and Mortag had 18 each for the Lancers.

DAMN that is clean and pretty smart too :)
Zombie Panic: Source is a co-op oriented Survivor Vs Zombie multi-player survival horror modification for HL2. While our main priority is to make the mod as fun to play as possible, ZP:S plans to greatly expand on the core features of "Zombie panic" For HL1, with the obvious new features, impressive visuals, and of course atmospheric maps. More importantly ZP:S will not force players to fend against dumb and predictable AI, but instead keep the same intense thrill of surviving against intelligent and persistent player controlled zombies as the original.
Announcing the release date and details of Zombie Panic: Source v1.5 which will be available on Steam January 28th!
Posted by Tatsur0 on Jan 26th, 2009

We've been working crazy hours, some of us pulling 20+ hour work days to make sure everything is at the quality expected of us.
Below we provided a video of our newest feature, the ZP:S Barricading System. We've also provided some map previews, player model previews, and more images of the barricading system with the working HUD display (Video didn't capture it). Also provided is our "Growing Changelog". As we put the finishing touches on everything, we'll reveal assets and changes available in v1.5, so be sure to check back regularly for updates!

DAMN that is clean and pretty smart too :)
Yah never enjoy zps much because always seem to be just running around because sick of camping this is going to make that worse but looks awesome will deffinitly get it again once out.
Very nice, can't wait to play!
Looking forward to this.
I just rly wan't to have AI zombies though.
Not having AI is what separates us from other mods, and from other zombie games. Half the appeal of this game is that you get to *be* the zombie menace, and utilize the horde mentality.
If you want AI controled zombies, I'm not sure why you play this game...
FINALLY! The REAL content patch..
Waited sooo long for this one..
the last patch was very *meh* especially because of the way too unfinished new model, but things look good again it seems..
Lookin really good.
great news and nice work!
if you would barricade the door on the other side (and the zombies would come from the side you are now) will they be able to smash the door and then the wood. Or will the door just won't open because of the wood?
Great stuff!
Someone answer his question please =)
I'm pretty sure that the door will break the planks.
this just looks awesome. if you guys have not got a job preposal (if you dont already got one ) the world has gone mad.
AWESOME!i love the idea of a baracading system :D!why not make it a breakable metal though?
I like it, makes me want to try the survivor side of the game, seriously, for once.
Dont forget to vote to show u all love the new update and support the mod and devs they worked so hard at this.
At least this would fix it so maps don't have to use unbreakable metal bars to bar in a door, and maybe make it so they can't prop block doors either. In one of the custom made maps, because there's a lack of barricades, one of the buildings has enough props for you to block the door.
This mod does everything right: Fun gameplay and easy to get into, nice graphics and most important: regular content updates. It would really deserve the 2008 Award.
******* eh
I'm seriously loving this, good work ZP:S team! Just a heads up though: there are a few smoothing errors on the head of the hammer. Could be fixed very easily.
Yeh, I had fixed that after making the video. Always appreciate the heads up though :D
Barricading system seem to be cool.
Barricade... Barricade system... Barricade system in ZPS?.. OMGOMGOMGOMGHOLYFUCINGHELLKISSMEINEAROMFG!!!
Excellent, finally a new version.
Why are you guys so ******* God damn cool? I wish I'd brushed up on my modding skills and started Source work earlier so maybe I could've joined you guys... Oh well, all is looking great, especially the barricade system!
I agree that having players act as zombies is what separates you from all the other zombie-games. However, everyone is right about that getting stale sooner or later, on a map.
I like the objective based maps, though they don't involve enough teamplay to satisfy me. I don't want the game too become to complicated, but I want my actions to have some effect on the game.
You could start with some cutscenes from surveillance cameras. The zombies have better chances of staying low-profile when they destroy the cams, but at the same time that will give away their locations and leave a radar trace, which slowly fades out. So they quickly have to scatter afterwards. Maybe there could even be some follow-up-task to be completed, which will give them a bonus (power), if they survive it. You could also make players earn "triggers". So, if one team wins a trigger, by winning a map objective, they can take down parts of the other teams defenses (either by getting better gear like NV or Infrared), or by direct destruction of their hideout and its strongholds (by air strike, e.g.).
I'd also like it, if the zombies wouldn't only counter any human attacks, but would have objectives of their own, which can win them triggers to gain an advantage over humans. Of course you can win a game without using those, but they are great powerups and can save your team's *** in a situation; maybe make some evasive moves available, too (evasive action: flashbang, smoke-screen, etc.)
Overall ZP is a great game, but it's not diverse enough, yet. You could do much better than just barring things up in a room- And it wouldn't cost you much work at first, you just need a trigger-happy mapper and some animators. This could be the best Zombie-Mod ever, but you have to stay clear of that boring camping and barring yourself up in a room like a dead Kennedy.
Wow barricades?!!? Awsome!! Now the humans can be more tactical! But of course, the barricades won't last long. So all you have to do is:
1: Pick a very good spot to barricade yourself and your team.
2: Make sure all team members are at the barricaded area.
3: Make sure no one is out of ammo. Get some ammo first before anything.
4: Keep the barricade unharmed! Too many zombies means more damage to the barricades, so watch out! And don't shoot them either!!
Way to complicate simple gameplay. It's fine the way it is.
When you mess with it, you will realize it is not complicated at all. We kept it very simple, and the number of barricades in our levels is pretty low. It is one of those things that is very easy to mess with but also has enough versatility to warrant mastering it as a gameplay skill. We kept the whole system very intuitive. You'll see.
and when is SWAT MODEL AND MAPS WEAPONS E.T.C WILL BE ADDED CAUSE I HOPE THESE ????? are what i am talking about
Andrey stop spamming please, you already asked on our profile. More stuff will be added in the future, be patient and happy with what we are giving you for now :).
Zombie Panic source will rock this week. Can't wait to get a whole bunch of friends together and just rock out some zombies. Good job guys!
heehee keep it up with the ideas!
sorry OkeiDo but i have some tech prolems wen i click to post message i smtimes can't see it so i have to do it twice sry plz
Having player AND AI controlled Zombies is what I think he meant. Which would make this mod a whole lot better.
the idea of the mod is good but the gameplay is very boring to me sorry
freggin awesome.
those new models look weird (yuck).
Where's upade on Steam?
We didn't say 1am on 28th. People need to learn patience heh
HEADS UP! I've updated the changelog to reveal more of what will be available as soon as the release is available on steam. Check it out :)
Can you pls tell me the time is gonna be release, i cant take it anymore i feel pain in my stomach.
where is the update?
We are still putting the final touches on this, and will send it to Valve here soon. No telling when they will actually release it, but we will be updating our twitter feed the second it happens!
ZPS v1.5 is available now!

TEARS OF ANGER - In the ShadowsLion Music
Release Date: 2006-02-27
by: JASON SAGALL
Email: email@example.com
write/read comments
Tears of Anger are yet another example of the high caliber of Rock and Metal bands coming out of the Scandinavian music scene. Yet how many Rock and Metal fans in America, for example, have heard of Tears of Anger, and how many guitar enthusiasts, outside or even inside of guitar circles, have heard of the extraordinary guitarist Benny Jansson? He released no less than three Fusion albums prior to organizing Tears of Anger with his brother Bjorn, who handles the vocals. American and European audiences alike would do well to shine the spotlight on Tears of Anger and recognize their superb musicianship, stylization, and production values. In the Shadows deserves to be brought out of the shadows and enjoyed by Heavy Rock and Metal fans around the world.
The new album is Tears of Anger's second release and features the same lineup as on their debut (Still Alive, 2004, Lion Music), with Benny Jansson on guitar and keyboards, Bjorn Jansson on vocals, Daniel Flores (Mind's Eye) on drums, and Johan Niemann (Mind's Eye, Therion) on bass.
Of the twelve cuts, all of which are strong, about half possess a progressive feel similar to Jorn Lande's songwriting as well as his vocal style. The other songs stay closer to a Blues base, but are still ultra-heavy. Bjorn Jansson's soulful singing on the latter cuts is often akin to Doug Pinnick's (King's X), with those extended Blues phrases and that emotional vibrato. Moreover, King's X fans will appreciate some of Benny Jansson's wicked guitar riffs à la Ty Tabor.
Benny's lead guitar work displays maturity far above the average Metal speedster. He has an intense lead style of his own, but for the sake of comparison, his light touch, fluidity and overall technical ability are on par with the likes of wizards such as Kee Marcelo (K2, Europe) or even Allan Holdsworth. His solos are picture-perfect and show off some incredibly fast runs and slick legato lines. Although for this album, he keeps a rein on his instrumental chops, perhaps too tightly. There are no lengthy, exhibitionistic solos here, nor any flights of Fusion (for those, check out Benny's solo albums).
The striking quality of the music on In the Shadows is the huge atmosphere, a result of the synergies between the instrumentation and the arranging. One can imagine instrumental versions of some of the songs serving well as a powerful movie soundtrack. Interesting keyboard synth sounds are smartly integrated in the arrangements; they fill out the soundscape and make the guitars larger than life. By the way, the album was produced, engineered, and mixed by Benny Jansson.
The inclusion of songs with a dark, heavy Prog-Metal flavor, as well as those with a straighter, heavy Blues approach, makes In the Shadows a very satisfying album. A longer guitar solo here and there and a greater variety of instrumentation would have been pluses, but the album is highly recommended for its large sound, high-energy songs, expert guitar work and outstanding production.

Tips for schedule of findings and questioned costs
Exceptions or deviations that are discovered in an audit can't be just hmm'd over; they require action, usually a response by management, as well as a corrective action plan.
At the 2011 AICPA Not-For-Profit Conference, Kimberly K. McCormick, a partner with Grant Thornton LLP, offered a refresher on audit findings. McCormick said that the following considerations should be in mind for audit findings:
- Write from the perspective of a federal agency.
- Too much is better than too little.
- Be specific, particularly in criteria and condition.
- Try not to repeat yourself in the condition, effect and cause elements.
- Be practical with recommendations.
- Evaluate Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 findings for Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) applicability.
- When a finding is both GAGAS and A-133, report only once with a cross-reference.
- Consider the effect of findings on opinions.
Further, McCormick offered the following tips for a Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (SFQC):
- Educate staff and partners about the importance of the schedule.
- Include a "cold" review as part of the reporting procedures to review the SFQC and major program work.
- Start with a blank "pro forma" of the SFQC.
- Add a procedure to compare the listings of major programs in the SFQC to the audit documentation.
- Include a 'double check" of the SFQC during the final quality control review of the single audit report to identify errors before issuance.

Deloitte Tech Trends 2011 – Applied Mobility
Applied Mobility is the seventh of ten articles I am publishing from the Deloitte Tech Trends 2011 series
"The edge" has become the new battleground for innovation
The rise of mobile computing is staggering in sheer scale (5 billion subscribers by December 2010) and in its breadth of adoption – crossing age groups, economic classes and geographies. Consumer interest in smartphones, tablets and untraditional connected devices such as set-top boxes, telematics, video games and embedded appliances is growing faster than with any other product segment, with a projected growth of 36% in the coming year. Connectivity is nearly ubiquitous with today's mobile computing infrastructure and will only improve with the widespread roll-out of 4G, LTE and WiMAX in primary markets, and the impending launch of 3G in India in 2011. As importantly, the mobile application (app) movement is fully underway, as traditional telephone service takes a back seat to messaging, email, media, social sites, games and productivity tools.
As new devices find their way into the hands of business stakeholders, organizations are realizing how powerful a mobile presence at the edge of their enterprise can be. The underlying network, form factor, user interface (UI) and raw device computing power are necessary enablers, but what really matters is harnessing these features into rich yet simple and intuitive apps to solve real business problems.
These solutions can be as simple as placing a mobile veneer over existing offerings and business processes – that is, conducting business as usual, but through channels untethered from physical locations. Think of nurses accessing electronic health records from their tablets instead of a stationary hub or nursing station; or of banks allowing customers to deposit checks anywhere by using their mobile phone cameras, resulting in customer convenience with the added benefit of off-loading processing tasks to the customer.
These new mobile solutions serve the full spectrum of transactional, analytical and social computing capabilities. Accordingly, they may depart from traditional app design and deployment concepts. Focused in scope and simple in execution, if only from the user's perspective, these apps have more in common with "applets" than with conventional multi-purpose feature-rich enterprise applications. This is precisely what makes them so powerful – they are elegant solutions to well-defined problems, and designed for operations on-the-go. The enterprise arms race has begun in these spaces and more – with big disruptions ahead for organizations that trail their competition.
The changes may be even more dramatic. For example, companies are already rethinking business processes and enabling new business models that would not have been possible without mobile technology. Evolutions in location-based services, social networks, mobile payment processing, low-cost device add-ons and integration with enterprise systems has led to the potential for employees, customers and suppliers to consume and produce sophisticated information, goods and services from anywhere. And with the extension of mobile solutions to sensors and actuators in physical goods and equipment, otherwise known as asset intelligence or "the internet of things," there is the potential for almost anything to become part of the mobile solution footprint. This will lead to entirely new business models like Zipcar's disruption of car rental – and even ownership – models, or to the connected consumer driving purchase decisions based on immediate access to product alternatives, price comparisons, reviews, inventory levels and direct-purchase options. The trend is toward a future where everything will be digital and available anywhere at any time, and mobile devices will be the medium of consumption. Tapping into this trend presents the opportunity for organizations to define real and lasting value in applied mobility solutions.

MR. DRISCOLL: Well, does the book go into how Coolidge's reputation has risen in the last fifteen to twenty years?
MS. SHLAES: No, not at all.
MR. DRISCOLL: Okay.
MS. SHLAES: Because I don't do any historiography. There's wonderful historiography done starting with [Thomas B. Silver]. Maybe you have that book? I'm staring at my shelf of my Coolidge-iana (sic) to see if it's here. But [Silver] is a book about Coolidge and historians that was written I think out of Claremont. There are some wonderful Coolidge scholars over there. And there are a few other books. There's a pretty good book by — I like — I will say more than pretty good, great book by Sobel focusing just on economics. Unfortunately, Mr. Sobel died. And this is a book I looked at more than ten years ago with Robert Bartley of The Wall Street Journal.
And, you know, there have been other things since then. My friend, Dave Pietrusza, does wonderful almanacs and analyses of Coolidge, and I know a wonderful Coolidge impersonator, Jim Cooke.
So, you know, this is all going on. But he hasn't been revised anywhere near as much as upward as he should be. The correction has just begun, Ed.
I know you were going to ask about World War — about the depression and World War II, Ed –
MR. DRISCOLL: Uh-huh.
MS. SHLAES: — and whether Coolidge is to blame for that. And here's what I have to say, Ed. This is the prequel book, you said it right, to Forgotten Man which is about the '30s. So the '30s shows how government made it worse. That's really what The Forgotten Man is about. Government made things worse. Whether it was Hoover or Roosevelt, you can trace some of it back to the '20s, the causes of the Great Depression, particularly foreign material. You know, UK went on the gold standard, off the gold standard. Germany's trouble and so on. But not too much. It's very hard to hang the blame for the Great Depression. Its duration; its severity. Remember eleven years un-Coolidge. Everyone knew that the stock market was too high in 1929 including Coolidge, who bought — tried to buy depression-proof stocks, and I have some of his stock records to see that.
He didn't believe, and there's an argument he was right, that it was the job of the a federal government to manage the stock market or even the money; the Fed was supposed to do that.
So he thought there would be more damage if the government got involved, long term — more damage long term. It might look good if the government went in and rescued, but longer term you'd have trouble. And that — there's a pretty good case for that — that argument.
So it's hard to hang on him. He was morose, in fact, because he thought a downturn would give authority to the Progressives and undo some of his own work. Or, you know, take down the dams he had built.
MR. DRISCOLL: Amity, last question. The Forgotten Man was published in 2007, and the American people elected a president who fancies himself the second coming of FDR a year later. How likely are we to see the second coming of Coolidge, or at least someone who is reasonably responsible in terms of spending and regulation, anytime soon?
MS. SHLAES: No, more likely than we know. I mean, the Progressives thought they ruled in 1919. They never thought anyone but the Progressives would ever win again. And they had angry soldiers on their side. Much worse than, you know, Occupy Wall Street. They had riots in our cities and the conservatives were cowering in the corner.
But the concern about prosperity was there, and eventually people thought well, who will help with business, at least make it normal. We mentioned normalcy. And then they looked around, and suddenly more — let's say, more economically oriented, less intrusive candidates began to seem attractive. That was Harding-Coolidge. And lo and behold, Republicans were elected; could've been conservative Democrats, happened to be Republicans. There's a nice book about how all the candidates in '20 were relatively conservative.
So the country had a second thought after the Progressive impulse and the mess. And then Coolidge was one of the products of that or, you know, and that could change. We have plenty of candidates who care about budgets. And there's no, you know, there's no candidate — Coolidge can't reach out from the grave and nominate people now. But the one candidate who kind of reminds me of Coolidge is Paul Ryan. And it's a shame that when we look at the GOP the past year we say Paul Ryan didn't help, we should soften Paul Ryan. I think Paul Ryan was very strong. And if Paul Ryan had had more, you know, more pride of place, people would've listened a little harder to the Republicans. That's my view.
People do know, and especially young people who will be paying, that debt will be a problem. Debt is the number one problem for the United States. It doesn't seem like that now, but they know it's coming. And they will look for a candidate who cares about debt. And they will understand that government austerity doesn't always mean terrible — doesn't always mean — there's nothing more punitive about it than lying which is the current — the current posture. Let's pretend we don't have a problem and pretend we like you. Sometimes government austerity benefits people.
I want to mention one thing. I said "Silber's" name wrong; it's Silver, and Coolidge and the Historians is his book. We must be respectful of the people who went before us, especially those who wrote about this wonderful man, Calvin Coolidge.
MR. DRISCOLL: This is Ed Driscoll for PJ Media.com and we've been talking with Amity Shlaes, the author of Coolidge. It's published by HarperCollins and due out on February 12th at Amazon.com and your local bookstore.
And Amity good luck with the new book, and thank you once again for stopping by.
MS. SHLAES: Oh, thank you.

Dr. Barrett hits the point right on the head! Misdiagnosis by multiple physicians is a form of negligence and is seen constantly.
Take heel pain for example. I see Haglund's deformity patients who have had surgery by an orthopedist or podiatrist, and had continued pain in the heel. The returning patients are frustrated as they have put in months trying to get relief but their pain is actually worse. The role of posterior tibial nerve with sural nerve entrapment is a common cause for this location of pain. There are so many other situations where the overly qualified podiatrist is trying to do a 'big' procedure but forgets the basics in checking for peripheral nerve entrapment.
Well said Dr. Barrett.

I enjoyed reading over these picks by Guideposts's Anne Simpkinson in case you don't know where to begin to get fed spiritually. To get to her original blog post, click here.
1. Contemplative Prayer by Thomas Merton
Merton, a Trappist monk and bestselling author who died in 1968, wrote this classic about monastic prayer. But I find its guidance and description of contemplative prayer extremely helpful for me as a layperson. Merton clearly writes from experience, and his words about union with God simply resonate with truth. I highly recommend the book for those who are inclined toward a practice of contemplative prayer.
2. Lost in Wonder: Rediscovering the Spiritual Art of Attentiveness by Esther de Waal
I discovered this book on a Holy Week retreat five years ago. Rather than highlight passages in the book, I took notes when I found some gem of wisdom or insight. As a result, I have pages and pages of quotes—about silence, listening, prayer and awe. The poetry she includes and the quotes she cites are somehow especially appropriate around this time of celebrating the Easter mysteries.
3. Listening Below the Noise: A Meditation on the Practice of Silence by Anne D. LeClaire
LeClaire took up a practice of a day of silence (and eventually two days of silence) a month and wrote about its impact on her creativity and her spiritual journey. Married with children at the time, she explains how she managed to keep silence in an active household. That alone would be tremendously useful for moms and dads who seem daunted by the very idea of such a practice. But the real benefit of the book for me is her beautiful description of the fruits of silence.
4. The Artist's Way Every Day: A Year of Creative Living by Julia Cameron
The Artist's Way is an international bestseller in which Cameron outlines very practical ways (morning pages, artist's dates with yourself, etc.) to nourish your creativity and live a creative life. This volume culls passages from several of her books, all based on the same theme. I have used it as devotional reading after my morning prayer.
5. A Book of Psalms: Selected and Adapted from the Hebrew by Stephen Mitchell
I can't tell you how worn the pages are in my copy of this book. I once used this too every morning as a devotional. But I also dove into its pages when leading centering prayer groups or when simply feeling distressed or anxious. Mitchell uses very colloquial language in his translation of the psalms, so purists beware. But for those of us who simply seek solace from the psalms, I would highly recommend this book.

Newspapers Proprietor Association of Nigeria has taken its battle to stop the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria from regulating the content of its members' publications to the Court of Appeal in Lagos.
Dissatisfied by a January 10 ruling of a Federal High Court, Lagos, declining jurisdiction to entertain its suit, NPAN has instituted a five-ground appeal asking the appellate court to set aside the decision delivered by Justice Musa Kurya.
NPAN had instituted the suit at the lower court challenging the proprietary of certain provisions of APCON's code requiring media houses to submit their advertisement contents to the council for vetting before they could be published.
The appellant, through its counsel, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo (SAN), had argued that the provisions contained in Article 21 and 137 of the Nigerian Code of Advertising and Sales Promotion are unconstitutional.
It maintained that the Articles violated the freedom of expression, among which are"freedom to hold opinion and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference" as guaranteed under Section 39 of the Constitution.
In the suit in which the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, was joined as a co-respondent, NPAN had complained of abuse of powers and harassment of its members' advertisement employees by both the police and the council.
Kurya had, however, in his ruling, dismissed the suit by upholding APCON's preliminary objection that NPAN lacked locus standi to file the suit.
He held that NPAN's lack of locus standi had robbed the court of its jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
In its five-ground notice of appeal dated January 21, the body of newspaper owners is praying the court to allow its appeal and set aside the decision of the lower court.
The NPAN wants the appellate court to hear and determine its originating summons, as a court of first instance in line with the provision of section 15 the Court of Appeal Act, 2004.
One of the appellant's grounds of appeal was that the trial judge erred by holding that it lacked locus standi or enforceable right to institute the suit against APCON.
It maintained that as a body established to promote the interest of its members, it is part of its objectives and rights to challenge regulatory provisions adversely affecting the interest of media houses which are its members.
"It is in consonance with the objects for which the plaintiff was registered to institute an action to nullify any legislation or subsidiary instrument, which adversely affects the interest of its members," NPAN stated through its counsel, Oyetibo.
The appellant also faulted the trial judge's decision on the basis that he failed to consider all the facts averred in its affidavits, but chose to rely only some parts to reach its conclusion.
Contending that the ruling breached its right to fair hearing, NPAN, through Oyetibo, argued that the judge failed to consider all its documentary evidence, including its constitution, which it attached to the further affidavit dated November 21, 2012.
It contended that the trial judge erred in holding that it failed to seek and obtain the court's leave to sue in representative capacity.
It also wants the appellate court to reverse the ruling on the basis that it was wrong for the lower court to have dismissed the suit for not being filed in representative capacity.
While it admitted that the suit was not a representative one, the appellant argued that contrary to the decision of the judge, the Federal High Court Rules 2009 did not provide that a plaintive must seek and obtain the court's leave before suing in representative capacity.
In addition, it argued that the judge did not make the proper order as he ought to have struck out the case, upon holding that the plaintiff lacked locus standi, rather than dismissing it.
Oyetibo stated, "The plaintiff has locus standi to institute the action and the court has jurisdiction to entertain same.
"Even if the plaintiff lacks locus standi, which is denied, the proper order where a plaintiff lacks locus standi to institute an action is one striking out and not dismissal of the suit".
Insisting that the controversial provisions of APCON's code are "unconstitutional, null and void", NPAN faulted the trial judge for dismissing its suit "when he ought, in law, to have proceeded to the hearing of the originating summons on its merit and grant all reliefs being sought by the plaintiff."
"Article 21 of the Nigerian Code of Advertising Practice and Sales Promotion which require that all advertisements except public notices, goodwill messages, obituaries and vacancies shall be presented for vetting and approval by the Advertising Standards Panel before publication is inconsistent with the provisions of section 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and therefore is unconstitutional, null and void," the notice of appeal read in part.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) - A search is underway in and around the Great Dismal Swamp for a plane from Florida that didn't reach its Virginia destination.
Virginia State Police say the search was launched Thursday after the plane took off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the Hampton Roads Executive Airport in Chesapeake. State police described the aircraft as a Cessna. There was no immediate word on how many people were in the plane.
State police, the Civil Air Patrol, park rangers and rescue personnel searched Thursday on the ground and by boat. Canine teams were also brought in.
Aerial search efforts were suspended Thursday night because of weather conditions. State police are asking anyone who might have seen a small plane in the area of Great Dismal Swamp to call 1-800-582-8350.

Downhill mountain bikers targeted with potentially lethal boobytraps
Traps include black cords tied between trees and rocks in landing areas
Previous News
Next News
Cyclists riding the trails in Dovestone Reservoir near Oldham have discovered potentially deadly boobytraps in areas used by families and cycling clubs.
A message on the Oldham Mountain Rescue Team website said: "A number of deliberate traps have been found around the Chew Plantation near Dovestone Reservoir. These include black cords tied between trees and unstable boulders placed in the landing zone for jumps and drop-offs.
"These traps have the ability to cause lethal injury. Any information relating to them should be passed to the police."
The traps are reminiscent of an incident on the Bristol-Bath railway path where a cyclist was left unconscious, and his bike stolen, after being brought down by a clothes line strung across the path at wheel height.
World Cup mountain bikers Jack Reading and Tom Braithwaite, who both train in Saddleworth, spoke to the Manchester Evening Post. Jack said: "This could kill somebody – it's disgraceful. I can't understand this because I've never seen any conflict between cyclists and other people in the area. People are always very friendly."
Tom said: "It's absolutely shocking that someone would do something like this."
Steve Penrice, from The Cyclery bike shop in Uppermill, said: "Riders can go up to 30mph on descents – something like this could decapitate somebody. It's a worrying situation, it's very serious. There are teenagers riding up there and they could be hurt."
Tim Mitchell, secretary of the Saddleworth Clarion Cycle Club, said: "Luckily no one has been injured, but this could have led to a fatality if someone was going downhill at speed. I can't believe someone would do that. It's dangerous and a bit sad."
A GMP spokesman said: "Police in Oldham have been made aware by the local mountain rescue team that informal cycle routes around Dovestone Reservoir had been deliberately sabotaged. The situation will be monitored."

Now I know Georgians are renowned for their hospitality but Dr. Tatiana, the owner, is such a wonder host. Even though my time was short I wished I could have stayed more than one night. The hostel is in a large apartment on the upper floors of a house on a street a mere stone's throw from the downtown (liberty square area). All the guests were very friendly and sociable and there's a lovely roof terrace upstairs with good views of Tbilisi. I have no hesitation in recommending this hostel.
D'Vine HostelBatumi, Georgia

While voting turnout was low, I would like to thank all voters who came out to exercise their constitutional right in Ward 1 as well as citywide. I want to thank all residents of Ward 1 who supported me during my campaign and gave me their trust and confidence.
As I stated during the council race, my door will always be open to listen to our neighborhood concerns as well as citywide issues. I congratulate the winners, pray and hope that the new council and mayor will provide direction and leadership to unite us and move the city of Las Vegas in all areas of city government.
Joe "Yunta" Lucero, an employee in the San Miguel County assessor's office, plans to run for the District 1 seat on the County Commission.
That seat is held by June Garcia, who was elected four years ago. She is widely expected to run for another term.
District 1 covers part of Las Vegas and the areas northwest of town.
National championship qualifiers in three sports got a rousing sendoff in a pep rally this week at New Mexico Highlands University's Wilson Complex.
The NMHU men's basketball team (20-10) will play Augustana (S.D.) on Saturday in Mankato, Minn., site of the NCAA Division II Central Regional. Winner of the eight-team regional moves on to the Elite Eight.
Two-time All-American Angella Graham from the Cowgirl track team will compete in the D-II Indoor Nationals beginning Friday at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
What does the future hold? Like everyone else, we at New Mexico Highlands University wish we could know with certainty, but we can't.
Nonetheless, planning for the future is essential. Since early 2009, Highlands has been working with Studio Insite, an architectural firm specializing in helping universities plan for growth. They have examined existing facilities, pedestrian and vehicular flow patterns, and the university's programmatic and enrollment goals to formulate a master plan for the university's future.
A former Robertson High standout and a onetime West Las Vegas star have been honored with selections to the All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference women's basketball team for the 2009-10 season.
Robertson alumnus Jessica Armijo, who led New Mexico Highlands to a 10-15 record — a seven-game improvement from a year ago — was selected to the second team All-RMAC West Division. Armijo averaged 11 points, four rebounds and nearly two assists a game.
Turnovers and inaccurate shooting doomed Robertson in a 70-51 defeat to Santa Fe Indian in the Class 3A boys' quarterfinals Wednesday night at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.
Robertson, which improved from a district also-ran to a 19-10 contender in David Bustos' second season, figures to have much of its young team back next season.
But on Wednesday, perhaps youthful inexperience hurt the Cardinals — which lost two key guards over the course of the campaign.
Philip Romero, a local Magistrate Court judge for the last 14 years, plans to run for another four-year term.
He will compete in the June 1 Democratic primary. The only other announced Democratic candidate for Romero's position is Ruth Trujillo, a paralegal.
"I would like to continue to serve the people as magistrate judge," Romero said. "I promise to answer to my obligations in making fair and honest decisions."
The Las Vegas Outlaws — a collection of local gridiron talent competing as part of the New Mexico Premier Football League — opened its third season this past Sunday, falling 6-0 to the New Mexico Wolfpack in a rugged defensive battle at Perkins Stadium.
Doug McDaniel hit Andrew Shock for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 4:34 left, providing the only points of the blustery afternoon. The Outlaws threatened early but fumbled the ball away just a few yards from paydirt.
A Union Elementary parent wants to know why classes at Union are so much bigger than those at Don Cecilio Elementary.
The answer: Union is more popular with parents.
Still, an official said the district plans to better balance out student numbers by classroom next school year.
During a question-and-answer session at Union Elementary last week, as part of special meeting of the West Las Vegas school board, parent Betsy Sanchez wanted to know why some classes at Don Cecilio Martinez Elementary have as few as eight students.
I would like to thank both the members of the Las Vegas Fire Department and Gallinas Fire Department for all the help they gave me while I was in need of heart surgery. Also, thanks to everyone who contributed toward my cause.
Everything was greatly appreciated. I went through my heart surgery and am doing well. Thank you again.

University of St. Gallen
Is this program for me?
The University of St.Gallen was founded as a business academy in 1898 – the heyday of the St. Gallen embroidery industry. Since its founding, the education and training offered by the University of St. Gallen have been characterized by a close affinity to the working world. The practical application of innovative management theories, close ties to the business world, and the success of our graduates, have all contributed our status as one of the leading business universities in Europe. The University of St. Gallen is one of the top 10 business school in Europe according to the Financial Times and its Masters in Management program is ranked 1st in the world by the Financial Times in 2014.
The University sponsors the annual St. Gallen Symposium. Seeking to promote dialogue that crosses the boundaries of cultures, generations and interest groups, the annual St. Gallen Symposium is organized exclusively by the International Students' Committee (ISC), an independent student initiative at the University of St. Gallen. This conference has gained world-wide recognition for providing a neutral platform for critical and constructive debate on issues of global concern. Participants include key figures from business, politics, academia and selected students.
The St. Gallen exchange is open to all degree-seeking graduate students within the School of Business, however the International Study Programme is restricted to MBA students.
Just an hour outside of Zurich and a short distance to the Swiss Alps, St.Gallen offers its approximately 75,000 inhabitants a historically valuable old town. The Abbey District, with the baroque cathedral and Abbey Library, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Further cultural highlights include performances at the City Theatre, the Concert Hall, the St.Gallen Festivals, as well as exhibitions in numerous museums. Particularly popular with students is the St.Gallen Open Air, a three-day music festival.
Fall semester: September to December
ISP program (Fall): September to November
Spring semester: February to May
ISP program (Spring): January to March
*Exact dates may vary
Exchange students may select courses from nearly all of St. Gallen's graduate courses. For additional registration information and course lists from previous semesters, click HERE.
For MBA students, the International Study Program (ISP) is a ten-week program exclusively for MBA students from our partner universities. The program focusses primarily on doing business in Europe. A number of company visits familiarize students with different types of business concerns in companies of all sizes, from multinationals to local small businesses. The program is conducted fully in English, however students may begin learning German in an optional language course. Learn more about ISP here: www.isp.unisg.ch
The primary language of instruction at the University of St. Gallen is German. Graduate courses are offered in English in core areas such as business, economics, management, marketing, international affairs, law and the humanities. The ISP exchange is taught entirely in English. An intensive German course is taught during the orientation program and students are encouraged to continue learning the language during the semester in one of the many German language courses. Note that GWSB students cannot earn GW credits for participation in language coursework.
St. Gallen does not offer on-campus housing. A Housing Service is available to assist exchange students with finding suitable accommodation for a small fee. Exchange students usually live with other students but can request specific types of living arrangements, including a room in a flat shared with German-speaking students or a studio apartment. All students have their own room but normally share common areas with their flat mates. Additional information on housing in St. Gallen is available HERE.
Career Development
Students have access to the University of St. Gallen Career Services Center. Guest students have access to information on internships and may participate in recruitment fairs.

To understand midpoints one needs to see what they are. Figure 1 shows how a midpoint is formed by two planets. In this example we're considering the midpoint of Chiron and Pluto. It is easy to see that it is at a point half-way between these two planets. Also note that midpoints occur in both the longitudes and the declinations/latitudes.
Figure 1. Midpoints of Chiron/Pluto (indicated by "kp" in the chart) lie midway between the two planets; Chiron
and Pluto
Midpoint Equivalence
An interesting feature of midpoints is what the Magi Society calls midpoint equivalence; midpoints behave like planets in that they can form aspects with planets or other midpoints.
Midpoint Projection
There are two midpoints that are equidistant to both planets and we usually use the one that is closest to the planets. The two equidistant midpoints are opposite each other and are projected to each other's position so that they are equivalent.
Crucial Midpoints
Certain midpoints are considered to be very important and these midpoints are called the crucial midpoints. These include: Jupiter/Chiron, Jupiter/Saturn, Saturn/Chiron, Saturn/Sedna, Saturn/Uranus, Saturn/Neptune, Saturn/Pluto, Jupiter/Sedna, Jupiter/Uranus, Jupiter/Neptune and Jupiter/Pluto.
Midpoint Crossings and Magi Quads
The aspects of midpoints (to planets and other midpoints) are important and very useful in chart analyses. Aspects to planets are called midpoint crossing (or MDXs) and aspects to other midpoints are called Magi Quads (or M/Qs). Remember that the more planets are involved in a synchronisation, the more important it is. Midpoint crossings are synchronisations of three planets and Magi quads involve four planets. This often makes them more important than aspects involving only two planets.

This is a tale of two links.
One tale tells you the story of why I really cannot wait for WordPress 1.6 to come out and why I can't wait to beta test it when it comes out.
The other tells you the story of how all of this is lead by our glorious leader Matt who at 21 is poised to change the known world before I do with the new WordPress.com.
Seriously though…even though I know better that this isn't anything to really jump for joy like a giddy school kid. I can't help but do so because it's just darn exciting to know that half a million downloads later. Something from a humble beginnings like this could turn into a tool to change the blogging world as we know it.
Congrats to everyone who made WordPress what it is.

I have a Duet front loader basic model with out the display. It's Model WFW9150WW00. When I started working on it, it would fill properly, the motor would run and the drum would turn both ways. It would drain and turn a little faster but not spin at higher speeds. I ran diagnostics and did basic testing using volt-ohm meter. Everything checked out and my only conclusion was the Motor Control Unit (MCU). Put in new MCU and now it starts to turn and then stops. All other functions still ok. Put old MCU back in and still turns once or twice slowly then stops rotating, but water and drain continue to work. Is this the tachometer on the motor or something else?

Whirlpool Duet (basic) front loader rotation problem
Posted 09 August 2013 - 06:12 PM
Posted 09 August 2013 - 06:47 PM
During diagnostics, were you able to retrieve any fault codes?
Posted 09 August 2013 - 07:17 PM
No fault codes at any point in time. Mind you with the "no display" model I have, it's a matter of listening to the beeps and watching the LED for flashes. But, still, no faults at all.
Posted 13 August 2013 - 05:11 PM
I'm still fighting with this. I have swapped out the MCU and the motor. Washer will agitate back and forth, drain and shift to a slightly higher speed (I'm thinking the slowest spin) but will not shft to medium or high speed spin. Can anyone offer ideas?
Posted 13 August 2013 - 05:25 PM
Seems like something's telling the control not to engage the high speed spin. Double check the filter at the drain pump for any restriction. Standard pressure switch used for water level control. Check pressure hose for damage from rubbing against the outer tub.
Posted 13 August 2013 - 05:28 PM
Nothing in the filter. Drains quickly. Do I understand you to say that the pressure switch could be letting it reach the slow spin but not advance beyond? Is there just the one pressure switch for all water levels?
Posted 13 August 2013 - 06:22 PM
Posted 14 August 2013 - 07:47 AM
Front and back panels are on with same results. The switches on the panels tested OK, but I will double check them. There is nothing blocking the water-level pressure tube, and it appears to work as water levels are achieved properly.
Posted 14 August 2013 - 08:50 AM
Open the door and push up on the basket and check for slop in the tub bearing. Is it making any unusual noises during spin with a load of clothes in it?
Posted 14 August 2013 - 09:27 AM
No slop. No noise. Does not spin really. The fastest it rotates is just slightly faster than the normal wash speed, which is what I would call a "distribution speed". I worked on commercial laundry equipment years ago, and that's what we called it with the machines I worked on then.
Posted 14 August 2013 - 04:21 PM
The tach function for the motor is in the MCU. Check the connectors to make sure no damaged/bent contacts and check applicable harness for chaffing, etc.
Posted 14 August 2013 - 08:21 PM
OK, to reiterate some, I have swapped out the MCU with a brand new one. I swapped out the motor and harness with used and supposedly working ones. I believe the used motor and harness currently installed are ok becuase I was having a slightly different problem before replacing the motor. The previous problem was the basket would turn just slightly and then stop abruptly. Testing the tach revealed somewhat unstable ohm readings and seemed pretty clear to be a tach problem. That problem actually showed up after I started troubleshooting. Now I'm back to the original problem as stated, it won't spin at higher speeds.
To add another test result, continuity testing of the water pressure/level switch indicates it is working properly.

No offense, but I seem to be re-stating things.
There is no issue with the motor. There was, but that has been replaced.
The MCU has been replace.
The pressure switch has been checked.
The panel switches seem to be ok.
Drum rotates both directions, water drains completely and quickly, and drum spins slightly faster but won't spin high speed.

First of all, the challenges facing the U.K. are examples of what the literature calls "wicked" problems.
One theory is as convincing as it is wicked: we gawk when the mighty fall because we take glee in their disgrace.
Nathaniel Rich on a wicked 1942 satire for his 'American Dreams' series.
Ted had that wonderful sardonic smile, particularly after one of his wry and wicked jokes struck home.
MacDonald saw a lot that day, including gold candlesticks, the Kingdom of Heaven, and lots of violent judgment for the wicked.
Oh, this wicked, wicked world, and the shams and sorrows in it!
Such conduct is as wicked and dangerous to the state as any that can be conceived.
"It is only the wicked and foolish who flee when no man pursueth," was their thought.
She could be fierce and wicked; she is ignorant and bitter about many things; I am afraid for her.
Out in the world people can do as they like and nobody thinks of calling them wicked!
"bundle of fiber in a lamp or candle," Old English weoce, from West Germanic *weukon (cf. Middle Dutch wieke, Dutch wiek, Old High German wiohha, German Wieche), of unknown origin, with no known cognates beyond Germanic. To dip one's wick "engage in sexual intercourse" (in reference to males) is recorded from 1958, perhaps from Hampton Wick, rhyming slang for "prick," which would connect it rather to wick (n.2).
"dairy farm," now surviving, if at all, as a localism in East Anglia or Essex, it was once the common Old English wic "dwelling place, lodging, abode," then coming to mean "village, hamlet, town," and later "dairy farm" (e.g. Gatwick "Goat-farm"). Common in this latter sense 13c.-14c. The word is a general Germanic borrowing from Latin vicus "group of dwellings, village; a block of houses, a street, a group of streets forming an administrative unit" (see vicinity). Cf. Old High German wih "village," German Weichbild "municipal area," Dutch wijk "quarter, district," Old Frisian wik, Old Saxon wic "village."

A Guideline to Meinl Cymbals - Part 1
Have you seen our 2013 Cymbal Guide yet?
Every year we put a lot of thoughts in our new catalog. For our 2013 issue however we came up with a whole new concept. Not just as far as graphic design is concerned, but also how to simplify and categorize our entire cymbal portfolio. It all looks clean and so simple, but there is a lot of thought behind it. To make something look simple yet appealing is a big challenge.
One thing you notice is that we didn't call it a "catalog". It is a "Cymbal Guide". It's not merely about listing the products; it's about guiding the drummers through our cymbal portfolio.
I'm going to publish a series of blogs in which I will explain our ideas and concepts which are introduced in the 2013 Cymbal Guide. I invite you to become a part of the discussion.
You can get a printed copy through the worldwide music retail stores, or you can download a pdf here.
