Questions about ACA? You are not alone
Love it or loathe it, 'Obamacare' signup is under way
By Ken Esten Cooke— Police patrol the streets, and if suspicious behavior or crime occurs in plain sight, officers do their jobs.
Other times, search warrants can be obtained and executed, if justified.
Records of our electronic communications, by definition, are not in plain sight. And simply making a phone call does not rise to the level of suspicious behavior.
This is what is so disturbing in the Obama administration's latest overreach in the name of national security.
The Guardian first and then other major news organizations reported that the U.S. government got a secret court order for a Verizon subsidiary to provide logs of all daily calls made. It will surprise no one if more reporting reveals that Verizon isn't the only carrier under such court order. And the Washington Post reports that the National Security Agency and the FBI have also gotten secret court orders allowing them to tap into the central servers of nine major Internet companies.
We understand; terrorists make phone calls and use the Internet. But so do millions of non-terrorists. Even national security does not warrant treating the records of all these others the same as authorities would a terrorist's. National security does not justify usurping bedrock principles in U.S. constitutional law — searches and seizures must be justified, privacy is protected.
We understand also that there is a tension between freedom and security.

12/16/2010, Indian Harbour Beach, FL
Dan & Pam in Minnesota - this blog is for you.
Still in Telemar Bay Marina, waiting for Bill to return so we can get the heck out of here. Almost a month here and I am definitely ready to get going again. The plan is to leave bright and early Monday morning and head to either Vero Beach or Fort Pierce. I have lined up a guy in Fort Pierce to come to the boat to empty the fuel tank, clean the tank then clean the diesel and put it back in. Hopefully this will take care of the growth that is supposedly taking place in the tank. Definitely something we didn't need to worry about back on Lake Superior.
Varnish work is progressing very slowly. I haven't been able to work on it for the last several days due to the cold temps. I have been keeping busy sewing an enclosure for the cockpit. We already had a screen enclosure but I am making a plastic enclosure for rainy and chilly days. Bill went to our storage in Minnesota and mailed our Buddy Heater to me here. With the Buddy Heater in the cockpit we can keep our tootsies warm while underway. Never thought we would need to have all these cold weather protections on the boat here in Warm Sunny Florida!!
I have a very tentative itinerary for getting from here to Key West. As all Cruisers soon discover the itinerary will be changed many, many times to fit the immediate needs/wants.
So, here is the plan:
MARATHON MOORING 20 12/29 to 12/31
The main factor, other than weather, to actually being able to get to each location within a day are the bridges. There are 31 bridges between Hooker Cove and Fort Lauderdale. All bascule or lift bridges. Some are 'on demand' but most are on the hour and half hour or some variation of that. With about 10 bridges to get through each day we may end up going out to the ocean instead of the ICW, that is dependent on weather and which inlets we can get in the out of.
Expected high of 75 degrees today............it's a heat wave!!
12/06/2010, Indian Harbor Beach, FL
After 6+ years of outboard motor problems we bit the bullet and bought a new Mercury outboard at the boat show. Not as big as Bill wanted, bought a 5 hp and he wanted an 8 hp. I had 3 factors for my needs in an outboard: 1. One that I can start 2. One that is reliable and 3. Price. The 5 hp won out since: I tried starting the bigger motors and my arm strength just couldn't do it and the price. There is an $800 difference between the 5 and the 8. Now we need to get rid of our 2 old motors. Bill is putting them on Craig's List and hope they sell since we don't want to take them with us when we leave.
We toured lots of boats, both monohull, multihull and power boats. There was a catamaran that we both liked a lot but definitely not in our future, maybe if we had it to do all over again it would be a possibility. One of the power boats we looked at was $4.5 million; don't think that one is in our future either. We love Walk A-Bout but those brand new boats sure were nice.
It is really cold here with an expected low tonight of 36 degrees. I realize it is not as cold as Minnesota but still this is florida.......lots of sunshine but I want warm temperatures to go with it!!!
12/03/2010, Still in Indian Head Beach
It has now been 4 months since we moved aboard the boat and decided we needed an excuse to sleep in a real bed, so.......we decided to go to the boat show in St. Petersburg. We rented a car today and will leave in the morning. It is about a 3 hour drive from here. Two nights in a hotel and the boat show then return on Monday.
Our boat projects are progressing. Cockpit and hull are washed and partially waxed. One side of the toe rail is all stripped of the old varnish and first coat of new varnish is on with at least another 6 coats to go and the other side to still finish sanding and 6-7 coats on that side to do as well.
Waiting on a couple of packages to arrive, one is new charts and cruising guides for the Keys and the other is sunbrella fabric so I can finish making the enclosure for the cockpit.
We ordered Chinese takeout the other night, talked to the delivery guy and he wanted to know where we are headed next and I told him the Keys. He said to watch out for the mosquitoes down there as they carry something called Dengue Fever. Looks like we will need to buy lots of mosquito repellent before we head down there.
Weather has turned a little chilly - only a high of 70 degrees!! :)
11/27/2010, Telemar Bay Marina
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was definitely different than we have ever experienced before. We did miss family and turkey dinner but did not miss the freezing temps and snow back in Minnesota. We purchased bikes at the local Walmart soon after arriving so we rode our bikes to the beach, 80 degrees ;) here! and then came back to the boat and grilled chicken for our Thanksgiving dinner. Did Skype with our kids and spoke to parents on the phone.
We are progressing in our boat projects. New head and a new hose from the holding tank is installed, mustache and marks on the hull are gone and about half of the sanding of the toe rail is done. Today is an unplanned day off due to it being overcaste and short showers off and on all day.
Paul, Gaynor and Pepper from 'Meridian' were anchored nearby yesterday. It was great seeing them again, we had cocktails on our boat then walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Bill and I have started researching the next 300 miles - basically from here to Key West. We will probably do several off shore days but don't plan on doing any overnight passages. From what we can tell there is an area down the ICW for about 80 miles with 15+ bridges so that is one area we are thinking of avoiding and going offshore. From Miami south there are two routes: 1. Continue down the ICW, which is basically the westerly (Gulf side) of the Keys or 2. Follow the Hawk Channel (mostly a natural trench that runs along the ocean with the Keys on one side and a reef on the other side). There are pluses and minuses for each option. The ICW route has a lot more anchoring options but some very shallow water. The Hawk Channel would be faster with more depth but few good places to anchor for the night but several good spots for us to stop and do some scuba diving. Still have some time to figure it out.
11/21/2010, Indian Harbor Beach, FL
We are at the Telemar Marina in Indian Harbor Beach and will be staying here until approximately December 20th. This will give us some needed time to do some boat projects and a visit back to Minnesota. The marina is within 4 miles of West Marine and only about a mile to a Publix (grocery store), restaurants and the beach. We decided to buy a couple of bikes which will allow us to go a little farther and faster than on foot.
I plan on only doing a weekly update to the blog over the next month since I'm sure no one wants to read about things like replacing the head (toilet) and washing and waxing the hull.
11/16/2010, Palm Coast, FL
It's been a few days since I last updated the blog. After leaving Fernandina we stayed one night in Jacksonville Beach at Beach Marina. The marina was fine, only problem (which is a big drawback) was no potable water available. Next stop for 3 nights was St. Augustine. We picked up a mooring ball (first try too!). The cost of mooring is only $20 per night, much easier on the cruising kitty than staying at a marina.
We both really liked St. Augustine a lot, ranks up there with our top favorite places we have stopped at so far. It was Pirate Days so lots of people dressed up as pirates, we missed the pirate parade which was right before we arrived. We toured the old fort and did a lot of walking around the town. We met Mike and Francie of 'Anan Cara" for a couple of drinks on Saturday. Monday night Paul and Gaynor of 'Meridian' invited us to their boat for cocktails and Paul's Indian Curry.......yummy.

Has anyone seen it. I've heard it was very good from some and very bad from others. All of them have said it's messed up.
It was originally a special on the Discovery Channel as a documentary. I haven't seen the movie, but I will tell you that the documentary was scary cool. Based solely upon that fact, I don't think I want to see the movie, the documentary was good enough without any Hollywood embellishment. They did another one called A Haunting in Georgia that was just as unnerving.

Patrol Division
Lt. Laura Bennett
The Patrol Division consists of 14 sworn police officers and 1 non sworn security guard that fall under the direction of Lieutenant Laura Bennett. This division is responsible for maintaining a safe environment for the Universities property, students, staff and visitors to the campus. This division maintains an around the clock, year-round presence.
In the year 2014 the department received or initiated over 37,787 documented calls for service and security checks. Not all the contacts were criminal related, many were service oriented contacts continuing the orientation towards service by the Patrol Division. Day watch typically receives nearly 2/3 of the calls for service. They handle more calls for service per officer than the other shifts do. Evening Watch receive the majority of the crimes in progress calls along with the typical calls for service or assistance. The shift sergeants are entrusted to make sure the daily law enforcement needs of the campus are met. They supervise officers on their shift and at other campus events. They also do their share of the shift work. They respond to calls for service, check buildings, lock/unlock buildings, and patrol the campus while also performing as an administrators for the shift. They are empowered to make decisions without referral on law enforcement issues and some university policies related to staff, students, and visitors. They oversee the actions and needs of the people on their shift.
The patrol officers on each shift handle the brunt of the calls for service. They are usually the first point of contact many people will have when they come onto the campus. When they are not out on a service call, they patrol the campus's streets, buildings, residence halls, and other property. They also handle most of Accident and Incident Reporting on campus with assistance from their supervisors
The university has many avenues for foot and vehicular movement around the campus; paved roads, un-paved roads, walking paths, nature paths, and undeveloped areas that are frequented by our community. It has become essential that the way we patrol these areas evolve also. Our officers patrol the campus in a variety of ways; patrol cars, 4 WD all terrain vehicles, bicycles and on foot. Our current Patrol fleet consists of 4 marked police vehicles, 3 marked ATV's, and two bicycles. This variety has allowed the department to expand our services beyond normal boundaries of patrol. By getting into areas that are away from the mainstream, we have increased our visibility and hopefully curtailed criminal activity with our presence.

In a series leading up to the start of Dolphins training camp later this month, The Finsiders bring you positional breakdowns of each team in the AFC East.
During Thursday's show, former Dolphins wide receiver O.J. McDuffie and The Finsiders gave their thoughts on the wide receiver position across the division. Here's an overview regarding wide receivers in the AFC East.
Miami Dolphins
Projected Starters: Mike Wallace & Brian Hartline
Key Reserves: Brandon Gibson, Rishard Matthews, Jarvis Landry
Overview: The Dolphins come into the 2014 season likely with the deepest crop of receivers in the division, led by former Pro Bowler Mike Wallace and standout pass catcher Brian Hartline. The two combined for 149 receptions last year, for a total of 1,946 yards receiving and 9 touchdowns. Behind them are reliable targets Brandon Gibson, Rishard Matthews, and this year's second-round draft pick Jarvis Landry. Gibson thrived in the slot last season until a knee injury cut his season short, and Matthews then took his place. Landry should compete for the slot position as well this upcoming training camp, as he's been a favorite target of quarterback Ryan Tannehill during OTAs and minicamp.
New England Patriots
Projected Starters: Julian Edelman & Danny Amendola
Key Reserves: Aaron Dobson, Kenbrell Thompkins, Brandon LaFell
Overview: With the exceptions of Randy Moss and Wes Welker, Tom Brady has rarely had true big name superstar receivers by his side during his career. This year follows that trend as well. New England's projected starters include Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. While very productive players in terms of receptions, neither of the two are a big outside target, a role the Patriots have been looking to fill for quite some time. That role could fall to one of the Pats' reserves in Kenbrell Thompkins or the 6'3 Aaron Dobson, or even free agent signing Brandon LaFell. LaFell spent his previous four seasons in the league with Carolina, caught 49 passes for 627 yards and touchdown last year.
New York Jets
Projected Starters: Eric Decker & Stephen Hill
Key Reserves: Jacoby Ford, Jeremy Kerley
Overview: The problems at wide receiver were well documented last season for the New York Jets. To remedy that situation, they went out and grabbed one of the biggest names on the free agent market in Eric Decker. Playing in Denver's outstanding offense last season, Decker racked up 87 catches for 1,288 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns. They'll be hoping he boosts a passing offense that was 32st ranked in terms of passing touchdowns, and only had 13 touchdowns through the air as a team. He joins former second-round pick Stephen Hill, return specialist and deep threat Jacoby Ford, and slot man Jeremy Kerley in New York.
Buffalo Bills
Projected Starters: Robert Woods & Sammy Watkins
Key Reserves: Mike Williams, Marquise Goodwin
Overview: The Buffalo Bills receiving corps underwent a face lift as well this offseason. Former #1 target Stevie Johnson was traded to San Francisco. The Bills then acquired former Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass-catcher Mike Williams, and drafted Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins with the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft. Watkins and Williams will likely They also return receivers Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. Goodwin is one of the fleetest of foot wideouts around, while Woods will likely step up as a starter opposite Watkins to be a consistent target for E.J. Manuel in the absence of Johnson.

Parking Permits
Use Internet Explorer to purchase your Parking Permit
Important information for 2016-2017 Permit sales.
Parking permits are sold on-line through the e-Weber portal. To access the web application log into your e-Weber account with your username and password. After logging in, click on the Transportation link on the left hand side of the page. Select the Parking icon, this is where you will register and pay for your permit. Once the permit has been paid for, you may come to Parking Services to pick it up. Our office hours are M-F from 7:00 am-4:30 pm.
Parking Services would like to announce that the 2016-2017 "A" permits will be offered using random assignment to those that are eligible. Qualified seniors (those currently enrolled in Summer or Fall classes and have at least 90 semester hours earned and posted) will have an opportunity to enter the lottery between July 1, 2016, beginning at 8 am, and July 10, 2016 at noon by clicking on the "Senior Permit Lottery Registration" link. Once in the lottery module qualified seniors will be given the chance to make a ranked preference for "A" permits that are available. On July 11th, parking will initiate the lottery that will randomly assign permits to seniors. Once the permit assignment has been made the charge for the permit will be added to the student account. Students will have until August 22nd to make payment for the permit, by using the "Pay for Your Parking Permit" link, after which time it can be picked up at Parking Services. Last year the outcome of the lottery resulted in all "A" permits being sold out. We will post the results of the lottery and any information related to remaining permits on the parking web site.
Anyone wishing to purchase "W", "RW", "R" or "Dee Center" permits can access this same site beginning Tuesday, July 12th. Avoid long lines, order and pick up your permit early. All students that pay for and pick up their permits by August 22nd will be entered into a drawing to win an iPad mini.
Once you access the "Order Your Parking Permit" site you will be prompted to select an existing vehicle, or to add a new one. Once the vehicle information is entered, you will be asked to select the permit type for purchase (all available lots will appear in a drop down window). At the completion of the parking registration process you may select the "Pay For Your Parking Permit" button and complete the process, or you may pay later, but keep in mind that payment must be made in full before the permit will be released. Citations for parking violations are issued beginning with the first day of school and failure to pay for your permits will not negate your responsible to properly display a valid permit. Your purchase is not complete until the permit is paid for and picked up at Parking Services.
Parking Rules and Regulations require that all citations be paid prior to permit purchases. If you have outstanding citations you can pay those on-line. You will see the "Outstanding Citations" as well as the "Pay Your Parking Citations" link on our portal applications page below the permit registration option.
Permit Requirements
Parking permits are required Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
All vehicles parked on campus(Ogden & Davis) must display a valid parking permit except in metered areas and the pay parking lot. To be valid, a permit must be clearly visible and hang from the rear view mirror of the vehicle. We recommend that all old decals and hanging permits be removed.
Riding a motorcycle or moped is one of the easiest and most economical ways to get to campus. Not only do motorcycles reduce traffic congestion, but parking is much easier than for an automobile. There is no permit required to park motorcycles on either campus, however, you must park your motorcycle in the designated motorcycle area. These areas are typically found at the end of parking rows and have green hash marks on the pavement. Motorcycles may not use automobile spaces except at paid meters.
Map with designated motorcycle areas
Sidewalk Permits
To obtain a permit to drive on the sidewalks; download the request form, fill out and take to Police Department for authorization. The Police Chief or his designee will approve the request and the permit may be picked up in Annex 5, Monday-Friday from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Sidewalk Policy: WSU Campus Policy 5-46.
Download our Campus Walkway Sidewalk Request or WSU Ogden Campus Fire Lanes.
Lost or Stolen Permits
In the event that a permit is lost or stolen, report it immediately to Parking Services as (801) 626-6533. A replacement permit will be issued upon completion of a Lost/Stolen Permit Report. Replacement permits cost $20.00.
Recovered lost or stolen permits must be returned to Parking Service as soon as possible. Anyone using a lost or stolen permit is subject to criminal prosecution, vehicle immobilization and administrative sanctions for code and conduct violations.
Permit Refunds

Brought to you by the Letter Y.
Today's adventure is brought to you by the Letter Y and the Number 34.
That's 34 mg/dl.
Normally Alarm Clock One goes off at 6:45 am. After which I promptly hit the "snooze" button no less that three times. Fret not, for Alarm Clock Two (also known as Bad Alarm due to it's shrill cry) is set for 7 am, so that one blasts out in between all the snoozes. Once 7:30-ish rolls around, I give in. And then I turn on the lamp, grab my kit from the bedside table, and test my bloodsugar. It's routine, right down to the sticking my finger in my mouth to get rid of the blood from my fingertip ... yes, that's kind of gross but I can't be the only one who does this ... and then rolling over to Chris and grumbling, "I don't want to go to work."
A comforting arms pats me on the back and I reluctantly get out of bed and stumble grouchily towards the bathroom.
But this morning was a small bit different.
The alarms went off. A number of times. I'm sure of it because part of me remembers systematically shutting them all off and collapsing back onto my pillow. My pillow is marked with sweat at this point, but I didn't realize that. I wake up at 8:08 am with Abby's face smushed against the side of mine, meowing insistently and licking my face.
Not a good sign. This cat knows when something is up, or more importantly, when my bloodsugar is down.
So I reach over for the kit, but instead of switching on the lamp and testing from my side of the bed, I wander over to the dresser and stand there to test. In the dark. With clumsy fingers. And I'm crying but I'm not exactly sure why.
Fumble with the meter, get that strip in there. I prick about four fingers before getting one to bleed. The countdown reveals a bloodsugar of 34 mg/dl.
I'm very surprised. So I tell Chris.
"I'm 34." Calm voice. Sort of ethereal. I run my finger along the top of the dresser and notice I haven't dusted in a few days.
Chris wakes instantly from a sound sleep and looks at me disbelievingly. "You're 34? Sit down." He walks quickly to the kitchen and I can hear the fridge opening and the click of the juice bottle cap as he spins it off. I know he told me to sit down but the cat is on the bed and I don't want to disturb her.
He comes back with a glass of juice and hold it in my hands with me as he guides my wrists toward my mouth. "Drink it, baby." So I take my eight. And sit back down on the bed.
Abby is all over me, walking around my head, purring in my face, licking my forearm. Chris lies beside me and tries to keep talking to me as I wait for the juice to work. Time now is 8:38 am. I am already late for work.
The tears come fast and I'm starting to feel better but not quickly enough. "I need to call into work," I sniffle and wipe the tears from my face. "I need to talk to my boss and tell him I'm late. I'm late today..." Start crying again.
"Why don't you wait a few minutes, Kerri. Just wait until you come up a little before you call."
Time now: 8:47 am.
I can feel the low backing into a corner as the juice hits. Test again, 108 mg/dl. On the way up. Relief courses through me and I start to cry again. But I feel like I've been beat up. Arms weak, legs shaking, shoulders aching from holding in my tears. Because he knows my bloodsugar is back up to a safe range, Chris lets me lay against the pillow and he wraps the blanket around me.
The quandary is this: Do I call in and say that I'm late? That I hit traffic? I have to be honest here - I'm late all the time. Work starts at 8:30 and I consider myself early if I'm there by 8:40. Sometimes it's a flat tire. Sometimes it's the weather and the blasted traffic on 95. Sometimes I just hit "Snooze" too many times. But this time I wasn't going to be there until after 9:30. And I felt strange calling in saying I'd had a low bloodsugar. My boss, though very professional, is not very approachable and I don't feel comfortable filling him in on any diabetes issues. I don't want him thinking I am using it as an excuse for my always tardy self. And I never want anyone to think, "Well maybe we shouldn't involve Kerri on this project because what if she gets low while presenting or something?"
So I lied. And I called in sick.
And now I feel a little crummy about it.

Project Runway Winner Dmitry Sholokhov Dishes On Ballroom Dancing And One-Way Monkeys
October 19, 2012 02:47 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Yay! Dmitry Sholokhov was crowned the champion of the textiles in last night's exciting Project Runway finale! This season, Dmitry was a huge fan favorite for his gentlemanly approach and hilarious observations. And of course, the fact that he's an accomplished ballroom dancer doesn't hurt either.
We already loved Dmitry simply because he was far less obnoxious than the other contestants on Project Runway. Combine that with a real eye for fashion and you have an instant fan hit! The Project Runway champ managed to make himself even more likable in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. Once again displaying that amazing sense of modesty, Dmitry was quick to note his surprise at being the winner of such a challenging competition. He's also surprised at the postive reactions he's received from fans throughout the course of the season. "It made me happy. It's so important to have fans when you're a designer, and I like interacting with them."
One reason fans enjoyed watching Dmitry was his ability to come up with amusing catchphrases during his TV interviews. Commenting on the use of "one-way monkey," Dmitry mentioned, "I never really know where any of the phrases come from. They just come to my head. English is my second language, and it's just what I say in the moment."
The designer later proceeded to give an excellent example of this language phenomenon while commenting on fellow contestants. When asked if he would like to work with Elena again, he responded, "Oh, not Elena. That girl, she would get into my bones."
Dmitry's a multi-talented guy who can do much more than just design outfits and come up with hilarious phrases. He's also an amazing ballroom dancer! That dancing has certainly impacted his ability to design clothing, although not in the way you might expect. "I don't think [ballroom] had anything to do with designs, but it taught me discipline and determination. Ballroom dancing is a sport, and you have to be on top of your game. I think that's the biggest lesson I learned."
Maybe Dmitry should be on Dancing with the Stars! He could design costumes and then dance in them! We're sure he and the fans would both have a blast!

We like the work that the fine folks at Gamers Outreach does for the benefit of U.S. military personnel deployed overseas, so it makes sense that we share a recent TEDx EMU talk delivered by Zach Wigal entitled "Video Games – Helping Others Level Up." Zach writes about his experience delivering the presentation on his web site.
In case you are not familiar with TED, it stands for "Technology, Entertainment, Design," but the real point of this nonprofit is to share "ideas worth spreading". TED started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing people together from different backgrounds to discuss great ideas. Wigal's particular talk took place during a TEDx talk (an independent talk in the same spirit) a few weeks ago at Eastern Michigan University.
In it he focused on how video games can bring people together in new and exciting ways and can even be used as a way to help those who are less fortunate or need special help. You can check out the entire talk to your left – it's worth watching.

Item #0234
35 days. This new variety from Japan was developed to have a tangy/hot flavor like wasabi. Whether you pick the spicy leaves as baby greens or full-sized, they will add a classic "bite" to your favorite hot dish or salad. The frilly green leaves are attractive both in the garden and in salads. Mustard is one of the most nutrient dense foods on earth, and a healthful addition to any garden.
This packet sows five 9-foot rows.
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost, or in late summer (8 to 10 weeks before first frost). The advantage of late summer sowings is the best mustard flavor occurs after light fall frosts.
When to start inside: Not recommended for transplants. Can be grown indoors (see inside of packet)
Harvesting: You may start harvesting leaves when they are as small as 2" tall. Small leaves will have milder and more delicate flavor than larger ones. You can also let the leaves reach full size then remove the whole plant. Full grown leaves will have more heat and bite. Spring harvest should be complete before summer heat arrives to avoid bolting. Late summer sown crops will last until the first hard freeze. A light frost is said to improve the flavor.

Microsoft today completed its its $6 billion acquisition of Seattle-based digital advertising leader aQuantive.
The deal was announced May 18 and aQuantive shareholders voted Thursday to approve the transaction, which nets them gains of more than $30 a share, 85 percent, over the price before the deal was announced.
Microsoft is restructuring part of its advertising business to incorporate aQuantive's technologies and 2,600 employees. This business will compete directly with Internet giants Google and Yahoo for a greater share of the growing market for digital advertising.
"We made a lot of progress in integration planning and basically launched a new organization within the Platforms and Services Division of Microsoft run by Kevin Johnson," said Brian McAndrews, CEO of aQuantive and now the head of Microsoft's new Advertising and Publisher Solutions Group (APS).

- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Walkoff magic! Leonys Martin's dramatic homer in ninth lifts Mariners
Most Read Stories
APS will include aQuantive's advertising technology, Atlas; its Drive publishing service; and Avenue A | Razorfish, the company's digital advertising agency. It will also incorporate product management, technology and planning groups focused on Microsoft's adCenter advertising platform, McAndrews said.
McAndrews, whose senior leadership team at aQuantive will remain intact, now reports directly to Johnson. The aQuantive employees will remain in Pioneer Square offices.
In addition, Microsoft clarified the structure of other parts of its advertising business.
Steve Berkowitz, who heads the existing Online Services Group, will continue to be responsible for generating the audience that Microsoft sells to advertisers through Web sites such as MSN and a growing portfolio of consumer-focused online services under the brand Windows Live. He reports directly to Johnson.
The new search and advertising technology group that Microsoft created earlier this year under the leadership of Satya Nadella will work for the relevant parts of Berkowitz' and McAndrews' teams. Nadella's group will also house the AdECN digital advertising exchange Microsoft is acquiring.
McAndrews' noted that while the combined Microsoft-aQuantive leads the industry in some areas, it is trailing in others.
"So we have work to do," he said. "But I think we now have both the people assets — combining what Microsoft brings to the party and what aQuantive does — and the technology assets to really be a formidable force."

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a Bankruptcy attorney here to assist you.
Many private annuities are not exempt from the Bankruptcy estate - even though they are retirement accounts.
Is this account tax-deferred? In other words, did you not pay income tax on the money that went into the account?
Yes, the money deposited into the account has been taxed.
Retirement funds are exempt only "to the extent that those funds are in a fund or account that is exempt from taxation under...the Internal Revenue Code". Bankruptcy Stat. 522(a)(3)(C). It is not enough that the funds in the account are going to be used for retirement.
Unfortunately, since the money that went into your retirement plan was not tax-exempt, that plan would also not be exempt from the Bankruptcy estate.
The funds in the account ARE currently exempt from Income Taxes. When I begin to withdraw those funds as an annuity payout monthly only the interest earned is taxable because the deposits into the account have already been taxed.
Does this change your answer?

We have an SEO team at my office, and one of their dictums is that having lots of <script> blocks inline with the HTML is apocalypticly bad. As a developer that makes no sense to me at all. Surely the Google search engineers, who are the smartest people on the planet, know how to skip over such blocks?
My gut instinct is that minimizing script blocks is a superstition that comes from the early ages of search engine optimizations, and that in today's world it means nothing. Does anyone have any insight on this?
per our SEO guru, script blocks (especially those that are in-line, or occur before actual content) are very, very bad, and make the google bots give up before processing your actual content. Seems like bull to me, but I'd like to see what others say.

Never use oldest Metz 45 CT-1 flashes with digital cameras
As an owner of a Metz 45 CT-1, I wanted to see if I could use that flash with my E-300 so I started some research and I found the following article on the Metz web site (http://www.metz.de):
The article says that Metz mecablitz 45-CT 1 units featuring a model number that is smaller than 534 000 are fitted with a so-called high-voltage ignition circuit. These flash units must not be directly connected to modern cameras as this could even damage the camera!
All other flash units of the Metz mecablitz 45 CT and 45 CL series feature a low-voltage ignition circuit in keeping with the current standard.
As my flash unit has a model # smaller that what indicated I decided not to use it with my E-300.
Hope this will help the community.
Comment/Rate Share this Article
That's good to know...
...Piero, and kind of you to warn everyone of the possible dangers when using low serial numbered flashes by Metz. I used to have a Metz 60CT years ago when I used film, but that went when I got out of photography, many moons ago. I wish now that I had all my gear back. Oh well! :-)

I don't know where it is
but somewhere on MFT this has come up before, I think.
I purchased a Wein HSHSB. This is sits on the hotshoe between the flash or flash cable and brings the voltage down to a very low level safe for modern cameras.
I have a Vivitar 283 and nearly 300V appears at the base of the gun, I have used it safely with the Wein and the E1.

Bubble Gum Amateurs 05- Britney And Nadia Take The Bait
Description: Now a real treat. 2 young beauties sucking my dick at the same time. It's a wonder that I lasted as long as I did from this out of the world blowjob. Britney is a young, blonde beauty and Nadia is absolutely stunning; perfect body with a Russian accent. They both don't waste any time and I barely have enough time to get my dick out of my pants before they are sucking on it. It is such lovely site to see two ************taking turns sucking and licking. One licks my balls while the other deep throats me, then they switch. Damn this is so nice. Britney leaves the head of my dick wet as hell then wraps her big tits around my dick and starts stroking it. Nadia pulls her tits out, spits on my dick a couple of times then works my pole while Britney comments on how good she is doing. They keep taking turns until I shoot my load deep in Britney's mouth, then give some to Nadia. It blows my mind when they turn to look at each other then start kissing, sharing my cum between both of their mouths. Next scene Britney is back and Jimmy is going to cum in her pussy. She poses on the bed while stripping for us. She fingers her pussy and rubs her clit and tits. She starts fucking herself with a little dildo then pulls it out to lick it clean. More dildo fucking in different positions. Next Jimmy gets on top of her, licks her tits for a minute then he starts eating that pussy. Her moans seem to turn him on and he fingers her. He climbs on top again and she starts sucking his cock, getting him nice and hard. He slides down and puts his dick in her smooth, wet pussy. She moans and talks nice and soft while Jimmy is fucking her. He lifts her legs *****in the air and before you know it he cums deep in that pussy. Last scene is Devlyn and she is going to give me a hand job. After some brief introductions, Devlyn strips out of her white bra and panty and I straddle her and play with her tits and nipples while she strokes my cock. I get hard pretty quickly then take over the jerking duty for her for a few seconds. She starts jerking me again and makes me cum all over those perky titties. Not bad for a quick hand job.

A genomics revolution is sweeping agriculture
Want to see evidence of the genomics revolution?
Skip a trip to your doctor's office, and look at your holiday dinner table instead.
That honey-glazed ham likely came from a line of pigs tested for DNA favoring higher meat quality.
Genetic markers were used to produce the high-yield stalks of corn that went into the stuffing.
And the tablecloth on which the feast rests might have been woven from the fibers of cotton plants specially bred to thrive in arid conditions.
While the use of genetic testing in modern medicine to provide personalized drug treatments and predict disease risk largely remains a distant goal, genomics is sweeping through the world of agriculture.
Farmers and ranchers are counting on genetic testing to significantly boost crop and livestock production in the coming decades as population growth, increasing consumption and climate change threaten to cripple the world's supply of food.
A pair of San Diego County companies are playing a leading role in the shift.
Illumina and Life Technologies both cut their genomics teeth on DNA testing products and sequencing machines designed mainly for human medical research. However, agriculture-related business has become increasingly important to the companies in recent years, executives said.
Crop and livestock customers generated $100 million in sales for Illumina in 2009, or 12 percent of total revenue, said Tristan Orpin, a senior vice president and chief commercial officer for the San Diego company.
"Every single species you can think of is being sequenced," Orpin said. "And not just one of them (from each species), but many, many samples."
The process is different from the controversial practice of genetically modifying food, which involves the alteration of DNA of plants.
The tests performed by Illumina and Life Technologies do nothing to change the genetic makeup of the test subjects.
Instead, seed producers and livestock breeders use the genetic data generated by the tests to identify hereditary lines of plants and animals that favor certain desired traits.
The process, known as marker-assisted selection, essentially does what farmers and ranchers have been doing on their own for thousands of years through selective breeding, only at hyper speed, said Alison Van Eenennaam, a geneticist at the University of California Davis Department of Animal Science.
Things are moving more slowly on the human side of genomics, where drug developers face intense regulatory scrutiny, physicians are slow to adopt new practices and uncertainty remains over how to pay for the technological advances with increasingly limited health care resources.
"There's a big advantage in the nonhuman domain," said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and geneticist who directs the Scripps Translational Science Institute in La Jolla.
"You have economic incentives to make crops more efficient and breed animals better, and there is a much lower regulatory threshold," he said.
Already, genomics has proliferated the dairy cattle industry where genetic tests are used to select every bull that sires milk-producing cows, Van Eenennaam said.
"What you get is a kind of genetic snapshot of where genetic variation is occurring," she said. "If you give me a bull that I don't know anything about and I genotype him, I will be able to give you a prediction of his genetic merit."
Traditionally, a breeder would have to breed the bull with a cow, wait nine months for calves to be born, then wait another three years until the calves begin lactating to know whether the bull produces higher milk-yielding offspring.
Genetic testing doubles the speed of achieving those same milk production gains, Van Eenennaam said.
The potential benefits go far beyond the dairy industry.
With genetic sequencing, researchers can compare long lines of DNA from multiple animals and plants within species to identify genetic markers for a seemingly unending list of desired traits, including color, size, reproduction abilities, vitamin content, drought tolerance and disease resistance.

This is a post by columnist Martine de Luna
I've been working at home for around four years now. I can say that I've found my rhythm, concerning the "work-life juggle" that we WAHMs are so familiar with. It's not been easy, but through time I've been able to —
- create an award-winning blog (and write for other award-winning websites, too, like this, this and this);
- get hired as a copywriter for a digital media firm halfway around the world;
- leave that copywriting job and start my own business in small biz & blog branding
- grow my "tribe" of work-at-home women, even doing monthly workshops;
- grow my community of "blissmakers", women who believe in meaningful blogging & living (and hold retreats and workshops for these, too);
- homeschool my 4 year-old boy;
- run our household full-time, with occasional hired help.
I've gotten used to managing all of these aspects of my life, but not without practice. I had to find systems that could help me achieve maximum productivity, so that I could (1) spend more time with my family, and (2) deliver excellent service to my clients. And that's not easy, not when you have a young child to care for, a house to manage, and food to prepare!
Through time, the following tips have helped me greatly, especially when I need to, say, free up my time for the unexpected.
1. Find your "productivity windows". "Productivity windows" are those moments in the day when we have a gap between. Lifehack describes these as "productivity windows," because they are measured in gaps comprising minutes. These are increments within your day when you have the most energy to complete specific tasks.
To find your "work pockets" (a.k.a productivity windows), here's what Lifehack recommends:
- Open up a spreadsheet program and make a weekly planner spreadsheet. Put the days along the top, and the times along the left, in 15 – 30 minute increments.
- Make several copies of several of these, so you can take one along with you, keep one at your desk, in your dresser, etc.
- This is NOT to be used as a plan, though. Instead, just write the fields per increment (1) what you're doing and (2) use a number to describe how productive you feel, (10 being extremely productive and 0 being asleep.)
- After a couple of weeks, study the numbers and levels of productivity, so that you can know when during the day your productivity is high (check for high numbers in certain time slots) and when it's low (check for low numbers in the time slots).
TIP: I also recommend The Mom Writes' Productivity 2.0
2. After finding your productive windows of time, identify your optimal work hours. Don't be pressured to work a 9 to 5 shift. You're working at home, so you're entitled to some flexibility! It's all about identifying the hours when we're most productive concerning a specific task. This is different for everyone, so learn to find your rhythm and flow.
3. Be comfortable with editing your to-do list several times a day. Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves with too many tasks on our to-do lists. The result? Often, it's the frustration of not getting all of those to-do's checked off!
The solution is simple, but it might take a bit of letting go (which isn't always easy for moms who want to be in control!).
Do this:
- Around mid-morning (say, just before lunch), review the rest of your to-do's for the day.
- If your child needs you for a less than normal reason (one that can't be solved by games or independent activities), or something at home winds up going wrong and needs your attention, be prepared to let go of your lesser-priority tasks. These could mean checking emails, checking blog comments and responding to them, or taking phone calls, which are tasks that can be easily deferred to another time.
- Take three things out of your to-do list — and move them to three other days.
Sometimes simply editing our to-do lists means taking a break from it all. Don't be afraid to wind down, take a ten-minute power nap and shut yourself off for a time. These can often increase your productivity. With me, for instance, "sanity breaks" are necessary. (Marie Forleo fondly brands this under a "nunya clause," wherein if people ask, "Why are you on Facebook or Instagram when you're suppsed to be working," we can reply with, "It's nunya business. I'm taking a break!"
In the end, it's "each to her own." Find your most productive moments, adjust them when the unexpected strikes, and don't panic. It's really the key to getting things done, isn't it?
How do you carve out your most productive times, even when the unexpected happens? Let's share our strategies in the comments below.

BRATISLAVA - Northern Illinois head women's basketball coach Carol Owens and Team USA claimed a second successive gold in the FIBA U19 World Championships for Women with a 99-57 win over Sweden in Sunday's final. This is the second-straight year that Owens has served as an assistant coach for Team USA under head coach Doug Bruno. Bruno, who is the head women's basketball coach at DePaul, was also the head coach of the U18 Team. Last season, Owens helped lead the 2006 USA Basketball Women's U18 National Team to a perfect 4-0 record and the gold medal at the 2006 FIBA Americas U18 Championship.
Maya Moore was the star of the show for Team USA with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while team-mate Jantel Lavender also got a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
Although Sweden impressed with their throws from the charity stripe, with 13 of 15 (86.6%) compared to USA's 11 of 18 (61.1%), the victors' accuracy from both sides of the arc proved decisive.
The USA signalled their intent early and were 16 points ahead inside the opening five minutes at 21-5.
Swedish twins Frida and Elin Eldebrink, who have driven the Scandinavians to success in this tournament, helped keep their side within sight but failed to narrow the gap.
In the second quarter the USA continued to score for fun, with Moore and Monica Wright hitting double figures before the halfway point, at which stage the score was 55-22 to the Americans.
Sweden came from behind to beat 2005 silver medalists Serbia in the semi-final, and an 8-0 scoring burst in the third quarter ignited hopes of another comeback.
But USA was having none of it.
Moore and Wright continued to dominate the scoring and fired their side into a 22-point advantage at 72-50 going into the final period.
Despite having an unassailable lead, the US didn't take their foot off the gas, and six points from Jasmine Thomas without reply put them a full 40 points ahead at 97-57.
Amy Jaeschke sank a lay-up to make it 99 with 30 seconds left, and although they failed to break the 100-point mark, the US will be more than happy with the manner of their victory.
After two seasons at the helm of the Northern Illinois University women's basketball program, Owens has put together a 31-29 overall record. In 2006-07, Owens led the Huskies to their most wins, 19, since the 2001-02 season. The Huskies won seven of their first 10 games in 2006-07 and took home the championship of the Mildred and Roger L. White Tournament, defeating Cincinnati and host Northwestern.
