No concussion is too small or too great to lose hope
At this time of year, concussions from football and holiday travel are common and may require rehabilitation to reduce disability.
Health insurance generally covers cognitive rehabilitation therapy to restore memory, concentration, and social skills. Medical Assistance provides help through occupational therapists and speech/language pathologists.
Awareness is the key - look for difficulty with reading, writing, math, new learning, concentration, or remembering what just happened.
For information on recovery from a concussion, stroke or other injury to the brain, call 800-516-8052 or go to www.abin-pa.org.
No injury is too small to ignore or too great to lose hope.

I was glancing through some of the recruiting for teams in the bigger conferences and Iowa State is on an entirely different level... a level below everyone else.
Could somebody please find a BCS team with a worse current recruiting class for next year so I can stop being as worried as I am?
Links? Substantiate what you're saying.
#1 New coaching staff so not very many connections established.
#2 We kinda clean up what everyone else leaves because we just aren't very good.
We need our recruits to overachieve. If they can we will get a few good ones. We need to develop our high school kids. It will improve but I'm with you we need D and O Linemen badly
Ah, the weekly "I'm concerned about our current recruiting status" thread. Its practically clockwork.
Our recruiting will always be last in the Big 12 or close to it. At ISU, you will always have to teach up kids in order to be successful.
If you were a student what would bring you to Iowa State? We have a new coach. We have been terrible the last few years. Its Iowa. Kinda easy to pick a school when you are deciding between schools down south and Iowa State.
Hooray for Metaphors!
Big 12 College Football Recruiting 2010 - ESPN
Here's a link to the big 12 recruits... you can sort by conference at the top.
Looking at that just makes me depressed.

Leading Australian artist awarded damages for unjustified threats in groundbreaking online copyright decision
In a landmark decision, the Federal Court of Australia has awarded Aboriginal activist artist, Richard Bell, damages of $147,000 against New York filmmaker Tanya Steele for unjustified threats. The case is significant because it is the first time damages have been awarded where a third party had content removed from the internet without legal justification. IP Whiteboard's John Swinson acted for Mr Bell. You can read more about the decision here.

Discover The CTU Experience
Who me? An internship? If you're an adult learner, transitioning from a military career, or relaunching a career after a hiatus, you may think you're not a good candidate for an internship opportunity, but that's not true. Just like any other student, you may benefit from internships that are related to your intended career.
If you're already a working registered nurse (RN), but haven't earned your bachelor's degree in nursing, now is a good time to consider heading back to school. A master's in nursing may also be an option for you if you are more interested in nursing education and administration than daily one-on-one patient care.
Writing a thank you letter after a job interview is standard practice in today's business world. But what you say, how you say it, and when you send the thank you note may mean the difference between leaving a positive impression and being lost in a sea of applicants. With a little planning, careful reflection, and timely delivery, your thank you message will have the best chance of placing you ahead of your competition.
Whether you're just starting out as a nursing student, have been a student for a while, are a new nurse or have been working for decades, one of the nursing conferences we've highlighted in this article is bound to pique your interest. From general nursing to ambulatory nursing and critical care, there are many options to choose from this year.
At work, every project you create or work on can feel like an extension of yourself. That's only natural; the best ideas are a reflection of their creators. Because of this phenomenon, however, it can be incredibly hard to end a project when it's naturally time to do so; you don't want your project or concept to die, potentially because you view that as a form of failure.

Tar Heel Tattler - June 2006
Its too early to tell if the Duke University lacrosse players accused of raping a stripper will have any impact on donations to the school, student applications, faculty recruitment and the like. But some experts think the economic effects of the incident may not last long.
Although sports scandals have damaged the reputations of some colleges, the negative results have been usually short-lived. The Duke lacrosse team has badly hurt the image of the university, says Richard Lapchick, chair of the University of Central Floridas DeVos Sport Business Management Program. However, once the case is settled, I do not believe there will be a long-term impact on enrollment and donations.
Lapchick says that even spectacular sports successes rarely help colleges with recruiting and fund-raising over the long haul. Many thought Doug Fluties Hail Mary pass was a boon for both, but no sports incident has had that positive sustained effect. The same is likely to be true here on the negative side. Dukes brand has been built over too long a period of time. Temporary hurt, yes. Long-term, no.
Duke is a significant factor in North Carolinas economy. With a work force of 36,000, including hospital operations, it is the states third-largest private employer, behind Wal-Mart and Food Lion. Its annual budget is about $3 billion.
Major financial donors may need special attention from the university. They will want to make sure their money is well managed, not spent on cleaning up problems, says Raymond Sauer, a Clemson University sports economist. If donors are assured that this is not a reflection of management, they shouldnt take a big hit.
Thus far, the university has kept thousands of alumni informed about the case with straightforward e-mail updates. In addition, Duke has asked alumni to urge high school students they know who have been admitted for next fall to accept the universitys offers. Carol Cookerly, a 1978 Duke graduate who owns an Atlanta-based public-relations company, thinks that the university has done well with the communications aspect of the crisis. The tone has been right. It has expressed the universitys concern to do the right thing.
But even the best of intentions are not always enough to avoid some unwelcome public-relations developments. Since the story broke into the news in late March, sales of Duke lacrosse shirts by the school have more than tripled.

Small Christian Communities: A Way to 'Make Church real.'(Catholic Church Communities; Includes Related Article on Community Research Project)
Vidulich, Dorothy, National Catholic Reporter
MARIOTTSVILLE, Md. - What began as a rumble of new understanding of "church" a generation ago has now reached booming proportions, according to experts investigating the growth of small Christian communities among Catholics in the United States.
The gathering of people into small Christian communities spread rapidly throughout the United States when, in the popular interpretation of the Second Vatican Council, the people in the pews were told, "You are the people of God, you are responsible for the Good News, you are the church."
That responsibility brought more than 150 representatives of the small communities from as near as Washington and as far away as San Jose, Calif., to a Jan. 25-29 convocation, "Small Christian Communities: Called to Justice," to reflect on how they can be both "gathered and sent."
The conference was organized by a group called Buena Vista, headquartered in Arvada, Colo., which was founded in 1987 to provide opportunities such as this ninth convocation. It was a place for representatives of small Christian communities to meet and talk about their experiences in breaking down the anonymity of large parish congregations to make "community and church really said Nora Petersen, national coordinator for Buena Vista.
"As gathered, each community must be strong in the dynamics of its own private life as a community," said Marianist Fr. Bernard Lee, a professor at Loyola University, New Orleans, and coauthor of Dangerous Memories: House Churches and Our American Story. If a community has not settled issues around belonging, how power functions within the group, prayer, support and care, he said, the community cannot have an effective public life. "It cannot be a true ecclesial community if faith does not exercise its public character," Lee said.
Small Christian communities gather people near the places and events of living, Lee said. "They are the contact zones for much of the church's presence to the world and the world to the church," said Lee. "SCCs rub the church's nose in the needs of the world," pressuring the institutional church to work for social, economic, political and cultural change.
"Perhaps the most difficult and complex challenge for SCCs is the call to justice," Petersen said. The majority of the SCCs associated with Buena Vista have pastoral facilitators and maintain ties to parish-diocesan authority.
Petersen said an essential part of the weekend convocation was to provide site visits to local justice-seeking groups. Ann Dean, who works with faith communities providing direct service to the poor and homeless at the ecumenical Church of the Savior, Washington, coordinated the visits and reflection process.
The struggle to live the faith that does justice is a tension in many SCCs. "We have 12 SCCs that meet weekly and pray the Sunday scripture," said Nancy Farrant, pastoral associate at the 1,200-family St. Julie Parish, San Jose, Calif., "but they're not yet seeing the connection with local injustice. …

Visit Mountain Fuck Fest
You might be thinking that Mountain Fuck Fest would just have scenes with hardcore fucking on a mountain. While that is a totally reasonable expectation, these scenes take it one step further.
What is one step further, you ask? Well, how about putting all the participants in classic/stereotypical Swiss Alps clothing, having many of the scenes take place in log cabins and playing accordion/polka music as the scenes begin (and sometimes throughout the scene as well). Also, just so you're aware, there aren't any subtitles and the scenes are in either German or Austrian (from how it sounds to me).
Add all that to the muted film colors (and some of the guy's mustaches) and there is something about these scenes that looks dated – particularly the ones in black and white. However, the shaved pussies and hardcore sucking, fucking and facials are all what we have come to expect from our hardcore porn these days.
There are 97 videos and 41 photo sets. Each of the movies comes with the option to stream the movie in an embedded Flash player and the option to download it in a full-length, good-quality MP4 file. The photos come in two sizes, one of which is high-res.
Photo updates stopped coming in July of 2012, while the movies aren't faring much better. According to the dates on each scene, the movies are growing at a rate of one new video each week, but in reality they're actually being rotated. There aren't any filter or search options, so the thumbnail representing each movie is all you have to go on as to who is participating and what's going on in the scene.
Joining means you get access to the entire Extreme Movie Pass network. This means you get bonus access to 78 assorted sites, including Flexi Angels and Anabell 4 You. You can also check out 14 bonus galleries that focus on fetish porn. Both are linked to on the left-hand side of each page. Live cams and a dating site are linked to, but these cost extra.
Mountain Fuck Fest definitely brings a little originality to its theme and there is enough material to make a membership something to consider should mountain banging interest you.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Anyone who has run a campaign to drive traffic to their website will know the importance of adding Google Analytics Campaign Tracking to the links in their campaign to allow them to better monitor the performance of the campaign.
These 'tags' that you add to links back to your site allow Google Analytics to group all the data that comes through via the URLs with the tagging and groups the data in the 'Traffic Sources > Campaigns' section for easy analysis.
One of the problems with this technique is that people forget what the URL tags are or do not understand how to add them to their URLs properly. Luckily Google have provided an answer for this query by creating an easy to use tool that helps you to generate links for your campaigns. We shall call it the Google Analytics URL Builder and it can be found here:
It is a simple 3 step process that turns your current campaign URLs into Analytics optimized campaign URLs.
Here is what you do:
- Firstly you will need to locate and copy the URL of the page that you would like to add tracking to.
- Once you have your URL, paste it into the field in Step 1 of the URL Builder.
- For step two you have to decide on the content of your tags, it is important to make your tags meaningful so that you can understand them when looking through your Analytics data. Only 3 are mandatory however it is good practice to fill in as many as possible.
- Campaign source: In this field it is a good idea to enter the location of where people are going to be clicking the link. E.g – Newsletter, Blog.
- Campaign Medium: In this field you want to enter the medium in which the URL was delivered to the users. E.g – Email, Banner ad.
- Campaign Term: If you have a keyword associated with your campaign, then enter it in this field.
- Campaign Content: Many campaigns have several variations, you would enter the variation/content of the campaign in this field. For example if you have 2/3 banner ads for your campaign, you can add the name of the banner to this field and give each banner a unique tracking code to understand which banner is performing the best.
- Campaign Name: Finally you just need to give your campaign a name. It is a good idea to make this understandable but remember that it is going to be included in the URL so their is a chance that your users will see it so make sure it is something that you do not mind other people seeing.
- Now hit the 'Generate URL' button and you will be provided with the URL for your campaign.
- Add the URL to your campaign and begin collecting valuable information about how your campaign visitors are interacting with your website.
I believe that these campaign tracking URLs are essential when running campaigns to drive traffic to your blog, they allow you to very quickly get an understand for what is and is not working.
Have you used the Google Analytics URL Builder? Do you tag your URLs? Are you having problems with the URL builder? If so then post them below and I will do my best to help you out.

My Fulcrum 5 rear wheel is slightly off true. It has the 2 to 1 spoke design: non-drive side is laced radially and the drive side has paired spokes.
Here's my dilemma: I've trued wheels in the past. I've got a trueing stand and the spoke wrenches. I don't have a tensiometer. In the past I worked by ear. With these new design wheels and the higher tensions I'm fearful of making things worse rather than better.
Should I just leave it alone? Right now it's just out of true enough that I can see it when I spin my wheel but there is no brake rub or other ride-ability issue.
I don't really want to take it around to an LBS. I feel like I would insult them by doing an interview on their qualifications to true a wheel. But I'm open to suggestions from you shop guys on this.
OR should I just swallow my fear and have at like it's just a wheel - how bad could I mess it up anyway?

What's Keeping It Kleen
Food Safety Training – Online, engaging and job specific training… nothing mandatory it's just the right thing to do!
In an effort to reduce the risk of food borne illness outbreaks, most states require Manager Food Safety and Sanitation training however we believe that this in it self is not enough to combat the seriousness of this issue. The Keeping It Kleen program supplements the nationally accredited programs by giving restaurant employers an economical and efficient option to train ALL of their employees, including the perpetually rotating hourly employees, on food safety and sanitation…because it's the right thing to do!
KeepingItKleen.com (KIK) was developed due to the increased scrutiny of food safety and sanitation in restaurants not only by government officials but also the consumer. Department of Health laws in many states continue to become more and more difficult to comply with making it very overwhelming for the independent operator to manage. Moreover, through the transparency of inspections such as the Los Angeles Letter Grade System, increased public access to health inspection reports, restaurant health inspection mobile apps and increased traditional and social media attention, consumers are much more aware and are using food safety and sanitation as a decision factor when choosing a restaurant

If Self leaves, it could put KU in a tough situation with Manning as an assistant. Would they be forced to give him the nod. Many times hiring an assistant may be OK, but with KU being a top school will they be settling to satisfy the fan base and past-legend/current assistant?
If Manning gets the job and doesn't produce, then what? Do they fire one of their best players ever? Or do they watch their team become mediocre? It could work out good for KU if Manning does great, but living up to KU standards would be tough.
If Manning doesn't get the job but wants it, does he leave or does he stay as an assistant? This would likely turn out bad either way.
IF Self leaves your short list is Calipari, Larry Brown, and Lon Krueger with the nod going to Cal.

I would be willing to go all in with my credits that Bill Self doesn't leave will be the Jayhawks head coach for as long as he wants.
I really hate kansas
0% on Danny Manning being the coach.
Bill Self is gone. But it might not be to OSU!
no way Self leaves KU... he's building a dynasty... he's there for good...
If I were to put myself into Self's shoes and my alma-mater came calling with a $3+ million per year contract for the head coaching position after winning the National Championship, I would have a hard time turning them down. Either way it's a good thing. Get paid well (like he isn't already...) at the school you went to, or stay at KU and get paid well (they will renegotiate contracts) and continue to build up a dynasty (not saying he would, but it's hard to not be good at Kansas).
I'm not sure what I would do. Probably go to my alma-mater, since I just won a NC for the current school.

Where is he going. He just got a lifetime contract to coach KU a place that he got his coaching start at. His job just got a lit easier, why would he leave? Slim chance Manning will be head coach there.

I think he stays at KU, at least for now. Then in about 4-8 years when the next Oklahoma State coach leaves, Self takes the job and stays there until he retires.
For I for S forever!
Danny Manning will be an NBA coach before Bill Self... Write that down.

Not nearly as much as I do. Especially living down here in KC. I won't be able to watch television, listen to the radio, or even speak to anyone outside of my immediate family for at least a week.
I could see Self leaving now since he won the title...but even then, I think it's a long shot. I don't see him in the NBA, either. Not when he can make 3 mil per year in the college game.

What ever KU offers Bill Self in their renegotiated offer. I hope Boone Pickens doubles it and Bill walks away from Lawrence.

It's not raining today, after 5 days of constant rain. Yay!
Perfect day to go down town and that is what I did.
It was a little chilly so I took out one of my favorite scarfs and put on my Vintage Gucci Sunglasses.
My mommy gave me these sunglasses a while back but she bought them some time in the late 70′s or early 80′s.
I absolutely LOVE them!
What do you think of the vintage Gucci's? I am a big fan of vintage sunglasses because the chances of one running into someone else that has the same sunglasses as you are like slim to none.
Me and my chichi Mikey are waiting in the car while someone special is getting us a drink and a snack from RachelBerry which is my favorite health food store in Montreal.
Once we had our supplies we headed to see the lovely Mary at Tres Chic Styling. This girl is really awesome always happy and always so nice. We had to take care of a little errand there first and then it was off to H&M.
I saw a jacket online that I wanted to check out in real life to see if it is actually as nice as it was in the pic.
When we finally got to H&M and I found the jacket I was looking for (which was a challenge as there was hundreds of crazy girls shopping at H&M today) I tried it on and it looked great, I really liked it.
BUT…big but….my "special person" that was with me did NOT like it. What do I do now I thought to myself?
Although I liked the jacket it still made me a bit insecure when my "special person" was not to crazy about it. "Special person's" opinion really matters to me. Ok, as I couldn't decide I reserved the jacket till Monday so I can think about it and I wanna ask you, the readers whether it's a
LOVE's It or SHOVE's It!?!?!
Help me out please!
Here is a picture of the jacket.
Picture this jacket with a nice pair of black leggings and knee high leather boots with maybe a nice tunic top or maybe just a simple white low v-neck tee.

I'm trying to install ZCS 4.5.11 on an iMac running MacOSX 10.4.11. When I try to run the zmsetup.pl command with root privileges I get to the point where I am asked to enter the logical hostname and keep getting the following error:
The steps I have taken so far:DNS ERROR - none of the MX records for tinhorsedesign.com
resolve to this host
Change domain name? [Yes] yes
Create Domain: [tinhorsedesign.com] mail.tinhorsedesign.com
DNS ERROR resolving MX for mail.tinhorsedesign.com
It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS
Re-Enter domain name? [Yes]
Before attempting to run the zmsetup.pl command:
1) Edited and updated the zone file to point all of the following records for the domain:
A (star symbol)
A mail
A (at symbol)
A www
MX (at symbol)
to the correct external facing IP address.
2) Opened open the following ports on the firewall running NAT:
https 443
smtp 25
tomcat imap ssl 993
tomcat pop ssl 995
sql 7306
sql 7307
3) I have since tried editing the /etc/hosts file to include the following line:
I have rebooted the computer but when I try to run the zmsetup.pl command it still stalls at the same point.
I would be grateful for any advice to help point me in the right direction to hopefully resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Update Notes
Updated on: 12/17/2014
Since we last visited FemdomViolations...
If some chick drove you out to the woods, had you strip and ordered you to go fetch some branches, would the hair on the back of your neck stand up? How about after a round of punches you're commanded to lick your own splooge off the carpet? On Femdom Violations, mercy and compassion are words that don't register with the Dommes who meter out the pain.
FemdomViolations is all about equal opportunity and both men and women get subjected to some severe punishment. Dildos, horsewhips, rulers and clothespins all get put to good use here.
While some of the 153 videos offer great or good-quality playback, many are only average in quality. The vids can be downloaded as M4V and Windows Media files, as well as streamed through a pop-up Flash player. The Dommes take their time doling out the goods and some scenes even last over an hour. Ouch! Props for tenacity, I tell you.
I appreciate that sometimes ladies dominate ladies and other times male subs fall under the thumb - and often the foot - of a Dominatrix. There's mild punishment, such as spanking, but there are intense BDSM scenes too. You will also see blowjobs and sex, so both your kinky side and your more run-of-the-mill horniness will be satisfied.
There are also 89 sets of high-res pictures and you can download them in Zip files. Personally, my scrotum and manhood tend to be rather sensitive. Seeing a guy's sack with clothespins from his taint all the way up his shaft makes me wince. Then again, even though I don't have a vagina, seeing jumper cables being used on pussy lips is painful too.
As a member, you also get access to the Burning Ticket network, which gives you 17 bonus sites, including Gangbang Arena, Ass Bangers Ball, Berlin Public Bangers, Machine Sex Slaves and Rubber Penetrations. There are lots of DVDs to watch as well.
With all these additional goodies, you've got a lot to enjoy while you wait for fresh content. Speaking of which, Femdom Violations hasn't updated since July 2014, so you might be waiting for awhile. However, in the end, joining the site is still worthwhile because it offers exclusive, high-quality BDSM porn.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Will the Alert Server include sending an alert for when a Task's due date expires?
I use the Tasks feature to manage my tasks. I had a task set to be due last week months ago. For some reason, I mistakenly thought that particular task was due next week. Had I been alerted, I could have finished the task on or before the due date.
An alert via email and/or popup would be great and Tasks that much more helpful.

Of the many provocations Lars von Trier has delivered over the years, "The Five Obstructions" might be his most satisfying. The 2003 documentary might not be his most well known title, but if you're a fan of the director, you'll want to catch up with it quick.
The film dives into the creative process of filmmaking with a unique twist, as it follows Lars von Trier's opportunity to work with idol Jørgen Leth on a most unusual experiment: Leth will remake his celebrated 1967 film "The Perfect Human" five times, each time with a different challenge set forth by von Trier that will force Leth to approach it differently and find a whole new set of creative solutions to re-think how he will tell his story. It's a neat concept that's pretty entertaining all around and now we've got a way for you to check it out at home, with copies of the film on DVD for some lucky readers.
To win, email us with your name, address and tell us what movie you'd like to see Lars von Trier remake. Good luck!
"The Five Obstructions" hits DVD on April 22nd via Kino Lorber.
Update: Contest is closed, winners will be contacted by email.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars 100th Episode Spoilers Roundup: Season 5, Episode 5 — "Miss Me x 100″
It's hard to believe, but the Pretty Little Liars 100th episode, Season 5, Episode 5 ("Miss Me x 100") is almost here! It's going to be an extra-awesome episode, jam packed with all the drama you could possible want, so you should prepare yourself.
How? Well, you can start with our spoilers roundup, which gathers all of the most important info about the episode right here. You're welcome!
It's going to be epic — and a mystery will be solved. The writers have been calling this episode one of their favorites, and promise "epic emotion — and the solution to one of the show's mysteries. Should be good!
It's Ali's first day back at school! Alison's (Sasha Pieterse) back in school, and you know Mona (Janel Parrish) isn't going to like that. In fact, in the promo we see that the two really go at it. As for the Liars? The promo reveals they're at Ali's side, but that doesn't mean they're all happy about it.
What will Ali's first day be like? This is what the official synopsis has to say: " Determined to put on a brave face, Alison returns to also help heal the damage she did years ago. But are apologies enough for those who Alison has hurt in the past? Not if Mona and her army have anything to say about it."
Caleb is back! Ali isn't the only one who's make a grand return. Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) is back in town with a new look, a new attitude, and a big confrontation with Ali. But if you're looking for a happy ever after for Haleb right away, think again. Remember, Travis is still in Hanna's life.
Jenna, too. And the returns keep coming. Jenna (Tammin Sursok) is back this week, and she knows about Shana. Uh-oh. We have a feeling Ali's lie is going to start unraveling, and fast.
Shippy moments for everyone! All the the main ships will have their moments this week, as you can see with these sneak peek moments.
Catch this episode of Pretty Little Liars Season on Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

One thing we know: Rivers won't be making a bid
Philip Rivers does not imagine himself as a mogul. The San Diego Chargers' $92 million quarterback views wealth as a byproduct, not a purpose.
Have a question for Tim?Tim Sullivan Mailbag
Days after it was disclosed that Chargers' owner Alex Spanos was prepared to sell off a piece of the franchise, ostensibly for estate planning purposes, Rivers was fully invested in indifference. Asked if he might want a piece of the action, Rivers indicated that he prefers to leave high finance to the financiers.
"I've got enough going on," he said. "I don't know much at all about it. So I'm asking you: What's the deal?"
It was a good question, one deserving of an authoritative answer, but the meaning of Spanos' maneuver is shrouded by suspicion, cloaked by coincidence and obscured by apprehension. In interpreting the behavior of billionaires, face value only goes so far. Like the King of Siam, as articulated by Oscar Hammerstein, "In my head are many facts of which I wish I was more certain I was sure."
What we can say with confidence is that Alex Spanos is 87 years old, afflicted by dementia, and unlikely to live forever; that Forbes valued the Chargers at $907 million three months ago, and that the Spanos patriarch still owns 36 percent of the team; that the federal estate tax on that asset alone could run into the $150 million range as of Jan. 1, 2011, and that that's a ponderous pile of cash to be raising on short notice.
Less clear is what the Spanos sale means to stadium efforts in San Diego and Los Angeles, and what it says about the likelihood of an NFL lockout for next season. Though it can certainly be read as a step toward the exits, as an opportunity to provide out-of-town buyers with a vested interest in getting a new stadium built, it could also be a simpler case of spectacular market timing.
Think about it: What better point to put some stock up for sale than when Los Angeles has two pair of deep pockets with competing stadium projects in the planning stages (AEG and Ed Roski's Majestic Realty), when wealthy San Diegans might be motivated to launch a checkbook counteroffensive to protect a popular civic asset, and before the value of NFL franchises are eroded by a potential work stoppage in 2011?
Just as Alex Spanos did not attain fabulous wealth by selling too cheap, his family did not retain Goldman Sachs in order to broker a desperation sale at a deeply discounted price. Though it's possible that process is a formality — that the Spanoses are already clandestinely committed to one of the L.A. stadium initiatives — secret deals would not seem conducive to fetching the best possible price. Since Alex Spanos' piece of the team could be worth in excess of $300 million, the difference between the best possible price and the second-best bid could be substantial.
The problem from San Diego's standpoint is that any auction could be a fait accompli. Though Los Angeles has been without an NFL team since 1994, the financial might of the nation's second-largest market remains formidable. Asked last week to estimate the relative value of NFL teams in Los Angeles and San Diego — both of them operating with the benefit of a new stadium — one experienced sports executive pegged the difference at about $400 million.
You don't need a road map to follow that much money.
The question confronting Team Spanos, however, is more complex. It's not just a matter of where the team is worth most, but on what terms and what timetable a new stadium deal could be struck.

Danny Noriega Calls Video Controversy Sad
March 08, 2008 01:11 PM by Joe Reality
A video where Danny Noriega goes on a rant about Christmas stirred up quite a bit of controversy on the Internet. After Danny Noriega was eliminated from the American Idol 7 competition, he answered questions about the controversial video during a conference call with reporters.
When asked about the video, Noriega said, "That's something that like is so like forever ago that I use to do that it's almost like another person ago. That's when I was younger, it was more like an acting thing. I use to do personalities and stuff like that. I'm actually kind of shocked that they used that one, there's more interesting ones. But yeah, it's more of like an acting show that I use to put on for YouTube and stuff."
When asked how he felt about the press digging into contestant's personal lives, Noriega elaborated, "It's just really weird. Doing something as simple as making like an acting video like I did like that, which I did like so many moons ago, but you know something little like that, that was made for humor can be blown up out of proportion and can be kind of shown as your character, and it's not the kind of person that I am, you know what I mean. I just think that it's pretty sad that people will do that to just like tear down somebody's success. We're all trying to be something in life right now, and we don't understand why people would try to like cut it down with negative things like that. I don't know. It's pretty sad to me."

Forty-two stunning photographs and informational text take readers on a journey through the alphabet and with the monarch butterfly from its northern most haunts in eastern Canada and the United States to its magical wintering sites in the mountains of Mexico.
The story of the monarch butterfly captures our hearts and imagination. It is the story of an insect that makes the longest migration of any insect in the world. It is the story of three nations - Canada, the United States and Mexico working together to conserve, maintain and create habitats of milkweed meadows, butterfly gardens and oyamel forests.
It is also a story of hope ... hope that we can make the world a better place for people and monarch butterflies.
Anne Powers loves monarchs, mountains and Mexico. She is currently a primary teacher sharing her love of science and literacy in a small limestone school house. She is working on her Masters of Science in Science Education from Montana State University and continues to inspire her colleagues as the Co-Director of Monarch Teacher Network-Canada.

hmm.. ok thanks anyhow – will try and check it on my office PC when I'm in tomorrow!
Is this video meant to be so slow or am I missing something, nothing seems to happen for ages then nothing thena click then nothing?
Oneway links are the ticket, I have found if you write up some nice linkbait (resources mostly), plenty of foreign blogs link to it…and often partially translate.
I also seem to be having a problem with getting the video to play. It just sits there and will not start.

Hi Alex, the video worked fine on my PC. The content was very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for the education. I didn't realize Google had a blog search. That helps to see and hear the how to's. I am not a techie, so seeing it in action is the solution for me.

One of the advantages of the people2 server is that you can proofread a new page before you publish it or update any of your pages so that they link to it (and, similarly, you can proofread a revised page before you publish it):
Launch FireFox or Chrome (or another web browser -- but we do recommend using FireFox or Chrome for routine proofreading, because they both support bookmarking a folder on your computer disk drive).
If you have already gone through these steps, including step 6, choose the appropriate bookmark from your "Bookmarks" menu; otherwise, choose "Open File" from the "File" menu.
Navigate to, select, and open your new or revised web page on your personal computer's disk drive.
Observe that the address in the box now starts with "file:///" instead of "http://"; this indicates that you are looking at a page from your computer's disk drive, not from the internet.
Inspect the page, to ensure that you have achieved what you intended. In particular, check each link, to make sure that it goes to the destination you want, and scan the page for peculiar characters that may have resulted when you pasted content from another application (e.g., Microsoft Word by default uses "curly quotes," which are platform-specific, instead of "straight quotes," which are the same on Windows and Macintosh).
If you discover an opportunity to improve your page, you may do so immediately; after saving the change, you will still see the old version in your browser until you reload the page (FireFox permits you to do this three ways: by clicking on a toolbar button, by taking the "Reload" choice from the "View" menu, or by using a keyboard shortcut -- control-R in Windows and command-R in Macintosh).
If you have not already done so:
click in your browser's address box, remove the filename, press the return key, and observe the listing of the files and folders, including the file you have just been proofreading. From this listing, you can inspect any page of your site, whether it has been published and linked to from another page, or not.
select "Add Bookmark" from the "Bookmarks" menu.
This will permit you to return easily to that directory listing for future proofreading exercises, by selecting the bookmark from the "Bookmarks" menu, instead of having to use steps 2 and 3, above.
Internet Explorer on Windows and Safari on Macintosh are integrated with those operating systems in ways that make the approach of steps 6 and 7 awkward, at best. That is why in step 1 we suggested using FireFox or Chrome for routine proofreading.

Michael Kiwanuka brings back soul
When you first listen to "Home Again," the title track off Michael Kiwanuka's debut album released this past March, you might mistake it for a long-lost Bill Withers track. The vintage sound and Kiwanuka's smooth, buttery vocals make the entire record sound like a sunny late-summer day from 1972. Home Again is one of the feel-good records of the year, and Kiwanuka looks to be joining the ranks of Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse, and Adele as another fresh face of the soul revival movement.
It's easy enough for music critics to trip over themselves to spread the love on this guy. He's a 24-year-old British kid with Ugandan parents, and he popped up out of nowhere to win the BBC Sound of 2012 poll.
"I mean, it's really kind of scary," says Kiwanuka of the comparisons to such influential names as Withers, Otis Redding, and Randy Newman. "It's a huge thing, those are huge names in modern music. I feel sort of silly, but it's surprising. They're so good."
Speaking over the phone with City Pages, Kiwanuka is effusive, but so humble. The native South Londoner has never had such grand visions for himself. When asked about his childhood, Kiwanuka mentions that his mother worked as a cleaner: "nothing fancy," he says casually.
"I grew up in a town called Muswell Hill in London," He recalls. "It was kind of middle class, and I went to school there. I found Hendrix and the Beatles, and started listening to soul music as well. There's always people to play music with, and that's kind of what led me to this."
"This" being Kiwaunka's path from playing in teenage rock bands to being a session guitarist for Labrinth (Tinie Tempah's producer) to, you know, being at the forefront of modern soul. Though he went to college for music, he never assumed performing would be part of his career.
"I really wanted to get a degree to start teaching in really good schools, and that was just what I had in my mind. When you stop and think about it, I feel good," says Kiwanuka of his new status as international touring artist. "It's just a pleasure. I've always wanted to [tour and perform], and just not quite known how. I've just always wanted to play guitar and get people to come to shows and travel the country, and when it came around, it went quite well."
No one but Kiwanuka is particularly surprised that his retro-soul sound is finding a wide audience. Aside from his honey-and-grain timbre, Kiwanuka sprinkles in just the right amount of airy flute and sax jams to allow songs like "Tell Me a Tale" to cross generations of listeners. "Lord, I need lovin'," sings Kiwanuka sweetly, and it's no doubt he'll find it with his fans. When asked about where this old-soul inspiration comes from, Kiwanuka concentrates on the experiential.
"Music to me...I really got into to just having fun and dancing to it, to have it in the background, and it [reminded me of] people like Marvin Gaye," he says, pausing through the phone. "The song makes them feel nice, and so that's what I wanted to do songs about when I started writing. Songs that sort of calm you down."

Letters: Embarcadero, ballots, passports, drug war, speeders
S.D. panhandlers are problematic
The $30 million Embarcadero project ("Key vote set on Embarcadero plan," Local, April 12) will fail unless we seriously address the issue of the pestering panhandlers in our parks.
The feedback I hear from people who have traveled from other cities around the world is consistent: "San Diego is a beautiful city except for all the panhandlers pestering us for money." If we are not listening to the needs of our visitors, who spend their hard-earned dollars in our hotels and restaurants, and keep many of us who are dependent on tourism gainfully employed, then who are we listening to?
I am all for the Embarcadero renovation. But before we journey down that expensive road, San Diego needs to be sure our travelers have a clear pathway, without obstacles of panhandlers blocking their trails. -- Pete Tentler, East Village
Print ballot materials only in English
If the San Diego County Registrar of Voters is truly interested in reducing the cost of elections, such as the $400,000 expenditure to certify political party candidates ("A subsidy of political parties," Editorial, April 11), then Deborah Seiler may also want to consider the large expenditure on foreign-language election materials.
Understanding English is a citizenship requirement. Being a citizen is still a requirement to vote. Yet for each election, thousands of ballot information pamphlets are sent to voters who appear to be from a foreign nation. My Vietnamese-born English-speaking wife gets a Vietnamese-language pamphlet. My daughter, who was born in the Philippines and speaks only English, gets one in Tagalog. Both go to the trash.
How much does it cost to translate, print and mail these materials for each election? Encouraging non-English voting flies in the face of citizenship requirements and opens elections to fraud. Here is a real potential for savings. -- Ivan Nezitic, Coronado
Downtown priest deserves praise
Father Joe Carroll ("Father Joe, a man of devotion, retires today," Local, April 12) was a parish priest when I met him at Our Lady of Grace Church in El Cajon. He baptized our youngest daughter in 1976.
Bishop Leo Maher sent him downtown – a godsend, literally.
As St. Vincent de Paul did centuries ago, Father Joe has given hope to so many, in the true sense of the word. For Father Joe, "hope" is a verb; it must be fueled by action.
St. Augustine said, "Hope has two beautiful daughters, Anger and Courage. Anger, so that things that should not be, won't. Courage, so that things that should be, will." Father Joe reminds me of those saints, with a sense of humor. -- Joe Bauer, San Diego
Passport center is unnecessary
The story "Quick passport possible in S.D." (Local, April 5) is the perfect example of government run amok. Thirty employees and a lobby for 120 people so citizens can get an expedited passport. Duh!
I have for years used expedited services for passport renewal and obtaining visas from online businesses (private enterprise) without having to make an appointment at an office or worrying about a language barrier. These businesses are paid by the people they service, not from the masses who pay taxes – some of whom may never need the service.
So now I will have to help pay for upkeep on 15 counters and 120 seats plus payroll, benefits and pensions for 30 employees. I thought the federal stimulus money (also my money) was supposed to help small businesses, not take customers away from them. The April 12 editorial ("Progress is an expedited passport") supporting this type of government undertaking makes me wonder whether private capitalism can survive. -- Maryanne Culkin, Escondido

2005 Volkswagen Passat Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2005 Volkswagen Passat (1 Review)
Good car. Mine is the V6 w/4Motion. Nice legroom, and I'm 6'2". Engine is peppy enough, but could be a little stronger. I like the TipTronic transmission, but shifting with it isn't as nearly satisfying as a manual with a clutch, but that's not why I bought this car. This is a very comfortable, quiet riding car. MPG is a little low around town, but between 20 - 24 on the highway. So far, there haven't been any extraordinary repairs required.

Here's what we did! We barely made it past midnight, due to rain coming in, however, we were in the saddle from 2006 to 2007! We rode the Cat tail trail in West Lafayette.
We can tell the back side of the storm is coming in, the temperature was dropping like a lead weight on Jupiter. Wind was 20 mph and gusts to 40. The ride was FREEZING! Mrs Stormcrowe had a wind/exercise induced asthma attack. Tough gal that she is, as soon as the inhaler worked and she could breathe again, we were off. I suspect this may have been due to the need to exercise to get warm. I know it sure was MY reason!
Well, off she rode. heading toward the Lilly Nature Center, located in Celery Bog. As we got over near Purdue Campus, the clouds were starting to blow in again and the air was cold and getting colder and damper by the second, so we headed back to try to beat the rain.
It was a fun ride, though, in spite of the miserable wind and damp. We loved crossing the years and think as long as conditions are conducive to any kind of riding, it'll be a tradition!

13 genera (13 species ) of acritarchs are recovered from the middle part of lashkarak Fm.at the top of the lashkarak mountain peak (located at southwest of chalus and south of Alani-kuh ) , Central Alhorz mountain range in north of Iran, that suggest Arenigian to Llanviernian?. Appearance of the same species of Coryphidium genus in this area, and sriatotheca and coryphidiurn genera in the other sites of Central Alhorz ( such as Fashand and Angooran )
indicate that this part of Iran was located in Gondwana acritarch basin, in cold climate zone and high latitudes of south hemishere as well as reporting 6 genra ( 8 species ) of acritarchs and prasinophytes and 5 genera (5 species) of spores from the upper part ( no reported fossil ) of lashkarak formation. The age changes from Ordovician to late Devonian?— Tournaisian. Also 7 genera (l species ) of foraminifera and 2 genera (2 species) of corals are identified by Keshani and Khaksar for upper formation ( Mobarak Fm. ), whereby the age of visean is established for that.

Supernanny Cuts the Clowning with the Citarellas!
April 09, 2008 07:51 PM by Lisa Stauber
Debbie and Joe Citarella have four children, and no control. Joe's a cop, but he can't keep the peace at home. Debbie finds the children's misbehavior hilarious, and can't stop laughing. Rebecca, 7, and sister Sarah, 6, are hard to control and set in their ways. Hannah, 3, has made a habit of shoplifting, and Joshua, 1, is a little brute.
"They run a three ring circus around me," Debbie laughs. She chases them around the house playing when they disobey, though. Dad is no ringmaster either, and even the simplest time-out turns into a lengthy discussion and nagging session.
Supernanny Jo Frost arrives to save the day. She's back to her green and orange suit and she means business. Observation begins, and Jo asks Dad which is easier, his home life or his job as a police officer. "Keeping the public in check is easier!" he replies.
Debbie needs to run an errand, and takes all four children with her. They are whirlwinds with sticky fingers, touching, grabbing and snatching. Mom gives little Hannah a pat down before they leave, to make sure she didn't steal anything. "There's no control whatsoever!" Jo notes.
Back at home, Josh throws a fit, screaming and running. Mom starts laughing, then plays peek-a-boo. Looks like little Joshua already knows how to get out of trouble! Mealtime is horrible, as the children have never been taught manners. Supernanny's seen enough, and she leaves before the Citarella's get around to bedtime.
The Parent Meeting is quick. "It's obvious that the pair of you love your children a lot," Jo says, but wonders why Cop Joe can't be an authority figure. "I don't want to be the dad who doesn't have fun," he says. Debbie giggles and laughs throughout, and Jo Frost finally gets fed up. "You're in cuckoo-land," Jo tells her. "I want you to stop laughing!" Jo notices that Dad put in earplugs to tune out the kids' behavior. "I get headaches," he protests, when she tries to ban them. The Citarellas promise they'll try to do better, but Supernanny is tough. "I don't do try," she says.
Jo starts with the basics, and gathers the family to try to hash out a routine. Debbie fights every step of the way, making excuses and complaining. She decides that she doesn't want the children to have snack time, argues about the breakfasts, and throws up obstacle after obstacle, giggling throughout. "Mom laughs whenever anything becomes overwhelming," Jo says, and by the looks of it, Mom is overwhelmed a lot.
Jo decides to have a little chat with Debbie. "You accept that you're doing things wrong," she tells Debbie. "You're an immature woman who needs to grow up." Debbie laughs again, even as she wipes away tears. Supernanny doesn't let up. "You're lazy." Debbie mumbles a few excuses, but Jo will not have any of it. "Do not play with me!" she snaps. "If you didn't need my help, I wouldn't be here!"
The talk seems to have done some good, because Debbie's at least trying now. Teaching can finally begin, and Supernanny and Mom give Hanna a lesson about stealing while playing grocery store.
Dad is still failing Time Out 101, and Supernanny hunkers down for some intense training. "I want to teach him how to discipline without saying a word," Jo says. She does want parents to speak up for the Tip of the Week, however. If you're stuck at work, take Supernanny's advice and pack your child's favorite bedtime story. Call him at bedtime and read together, to stay connected.
Four days later, Jo Frost returns to the Citarella's with footage in tow. Mom does an excellent job preparing her kids for shopping, setting clear expectations and consequences before they even enter the store. Dad is still struggling with time outs, though. He just can't keep quiet and argues back and forth with the kids.
Jo teaches Dad a lesson by taking a car ride with him and wearing ear plugs. He gets the message and throws them out, vowing to actually talk to his kids in the car instead of zoning out. Now Supernanny gives them a big test – going out to eat and teaching table manners on the fly while at the restaurant. It's enough to give any parent a heart attack, but Joe and Debbie agree to try it.
Joshua has a meltdown, screaming again and Dad handles it better than Mom. Supernanny takes her to task again. "Instead of following through, you did the easier thing!" she cries. Soon, though, the kids start minding their manners, and Jo Frost leaves the family to enjoy their meal.
The family seems back on track. "We've become a better family," Joe says. Mom has learned to discipline without laughing, and the kids are happier too.

By Phone: (301) 883-5390 By Computer: ePlats Online Functions
The Automated Inspection Request/Information System (AIRIS) allows callers to use a touch-tone telephone to schedule inspections.
When you are ready to schedule an inspection, please call (301) 883-5390.
General Notes: There is a 15 second time limit on each key entry. Therefore, the system may disconnect if the entry of information is delayed. If this happens, please try again. When the main computer is not operational, you will be told that there are technical difficulties. Please try again later.
Canceling an Inspection: If the work is not ready for the planned inspection, please contact the Licenses and Inspections Division at (301) 883-3820 to cancel the inspection. Inspections that are canceled are not subject to a re-inspection fee.
Additional Information: Permit case numbers that are followed by an R or C should select from the 100 series of choices. Those permit case numbers followed by an EC should select from the 200 series. Case numbers that use CGU and are in the TPIP program should contact the Commercial Construction/Life Safety Section to arrange an inspection. Failing to follow these guidelines may delay your inspection.
What type of Inspection: An inspection is required prior to concealing any new construction from view. The footing inspection is the first inspection to be made and must be completed prior to placing concrete. The footing must be free of mud and water. A foundation wall is that portion between the footing and the wood framing and is usually concrete construction. Prior to placing dirt against the foundation wall, a backfill inspection is required. The foundation drainage system must also be completed at this time. A framing inspection includes the exterior weather envelope, structural, rough electrical, sprinkler and mechanical. A WSSC plumbing rough-in sticker will be requested at this time. Following the framing inspection, insulation may be installed. Once the installation is complete, a close-in inspection occurs prior to the installation of any wall board or other interior covering. A slab inspection is required for basement, garage, driveway, sidewalk and other similar concrete inspections. When all work shown on the plans is complete, a final inspection can be requested.

As an example, global strategic-pricing consultants should, at the very least, understand the complex terminologies, processes, agents, and regulatory mechanisms that govern the pricing of any NCE within any one country. This usually tends to vary from one country to another.
In order to make global-pricing recommendations of value to the pricing leadership within a pharmaceutical firm, however, they should also excel at synthesizing country-level insights, differences, and commonalities such that a viable global-pricing strategy (which has common global and country-specific elements) emerges. Further, a qualified global-pricing consultant should have enough expertise at the country level to help NCE pricing teams formulate country, region, or global implementation plans well in advance of product launch.It is myopic to believe that evolution is contrary to revolution. They are both extremely necessary for survival, growth, and expansion. While revolution opens up a new path in previously unknown territories, evolution solidifies this path, making it possible for progress to occur on the path. Pharmaceutical firms cannot realize the full value of a new revolution in science or product marketing without investing in its evolution. In the area of product development, while revolution results in first-in-class products, evolution gets us best-in-class products. Evolution occurs not necessarily because of executive decree, but because it is necessary. Astute executives recognize this, and harness it for instituting inevitable change for the better. Patients, physicians, and payers—indeed, the biopharmaceutical ecosystem—survive and thrive in the face of considerable pressures only because of evolution that follows a revolution in science and how the science is delivered to patients.
