Andrew Jermain Patterson, the man accused of fatally shooting software engineer Jason Ferrari at a Seattle intersection in May, has been charged with second-degree murder and is being held on $2 million bail.
The man who shot Justin Ferrari on May 24 was outside a corner store with several other men when one called him an insulting name, according to witnesses quoted in court documents.
In response, Andrew Jermain Patterson pulled a gun and fired, say charging documents filed Friday in King County Superior Court.
Patterson aimed at the man who insulted him, prosecutors say, but he hit Ferrari, a 43-year-old software engineer from Madrona who was in his van with his parents and children at East Cherry Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
In documents charging Patterson with second-degree murder, prosecutors spell out how police investigators built their case against the 20-year-old Federal Way man.

Despite multiple dead ends during the two-month investigation, investigators ultimately collected enough pieces of the puzzle, including Metro bus-surveillance videos, interviews, cellphone records and information from a confidential source to arrest Patterson.
Gang-unit detectives told homicide investigators there had been a rash of "possible gang activity" where Ferrari was shot and that several young men fit the general description of the suspect, charging documents say.
Witnesses told police the suspect had corn rows and wore a distinctive red jacket with a black design on it, court documents say.
Detectives found the man who insulted the shooter. Known as "Crazy John," he identified a few of the people on the corner with him that afternoon, but Patterson was not among them, prosecutors say in charging papers.
Police got a tip about a woman who was on the bus with the shooter that day and witnessed the argument and the shooting, court documents say.
When investigators tracked her down, she allowed them to get data from her phone, prosecutors said.
The court documents say she sent one text that said, "lol too funny as I sat and saw the whole thing play out up until a innocent person got shot. … "
Detectives determined what bus routes the woman took and submitted requests for in-bus videos.
On video recordings from Metro, detectives found images of a man boarding a Route 3 bus at 3:40 p.m. May 24 at James Street, court papers say.
The man had corn rows and was wearing a red North Face jacket with black and gray features. He had diamond-like stud earrings and red shoes, charges say.
As he exited the bus, he swiped an ORCA card, and detectives got a screen-captured still photo of him, according to charging papers.
Police began to circulate the photo and requested a search warrant for information about the ORCA card.
Metro records showed the card, which had been reported stolen, was used in and around the Federal Way Transit Center and Green River Community College in the hours before the shooting, charging documents say.
On June 23, a gang-unit detective who had been looking into friends and associates of the people named by "Crazy John" found a booking photo of Patterson, whose listed address was in Federal Way, charges say.
Patterson was due to appear in Auburn Municipal Court the next day on a domestic-violence charge. The prosecutor in that case gave police the name and phone number of the victim, Patterson's girlfriend, charges say.
Detectives went to her apartment, which is near Green River Community College, and noted surveillance cameras throughout the complex. They found an employee who said he knew almost every resident and was "very observant of activity." The man recognized the photo of Patterson as a visitor of a tenant, prosecutors said.
Detectives reviewed surveillance video from the complex and found images of Patterson — in corn rows and diamond-like stud earrings — leaving the girlfriend's apartment two day's before Ferrari's death, charges say.
Prosecutors also say police obtained cellphone records that indicate Patterson was at the corner where Ferrari was killed when the fatal shot was fired.
Patterson is being held at King County Jail on $2 million bail and is to be arraigned Aug. 2. He faces a sentence of 15 to 23 years if convicted as charged.

Why not try one of the low cost LED macro ring flash units.
Thanks for the reply. I tried a ring flash and they're actually rather bulky, particularly for the space that I have to get the camera etc into.

Gerrard's slip in first-half injury time allowed Demba Ba to race clear and put Jose Mourinho's men in front, with Willian adding a second late on as the Reds' run of 11 wins on the bounce came to a shuddering halt.
"Steven is a boy who has picked up this club so many times and it was just really unfortunate because he slipped at a crucial moment and it was right on half-time," Rodgers said.
"He was doing everything he possibly could and we hoped there would be one or two who would step up to the plate instead of him, but we couldn't quite do that. There's certainly no blame because we are in the position we are in now because of him; he's been instrumental for us this season.
"It's just unfortunate that he's slipped over. It could have happened to anyone. This is a guy that is so strong mentally.
"He probably got frustrated but I thought he showed his courage because after that he still kept getting on the football, he still tried to pass; at times, he broke through and broke the line to get in. But he and our other attacking threats just couldn't quite make the breakthrough. Give credit to Chelsea for that; they sat in really deep."
While Liverpool's approach to football is highly commendable, this possession-based style of play has led to issues before – Martin Skrtel had a similar mishap back in August 2012 against Manchester City. While that day it cost the Reds two points, this error could cost Liverpool the title. Much has been made of Liverpool's dramatic turnaround in fortunes under Rodgers – and while his commitment to an expansive style of play is admirable there also comes a time for pragmatism. Mourinho has been heavily criticised for his side's lack of ambition against Liverpool but Chelsea came away with a win that could see Liverpool miss out on the title. A draw may have been enough to see Liverpool win the league and a more pragmatic approach against an ultra-conservative Chelsea side may have been a better approach. A bore draw it may have been but the record books record title wins. Hindsight is, however, a magnificent thing.
Quite simply, if Manchester City win their remaining three fixtures - against Everton away and Aston Villa and West Ham at home - they will win the Premier League by virtue of their superior goal difference, even if Liverpool also beat Crystal Palace away and Newcastle at home. Gerrard's slip appears to have handed City the title on a platter, with only Everton looking like offering any kind of resistance. Even then, would they want to beat City and effectively crown their local rivals? Chelsea, two points behind Liverpool, should beat Norwich and Cardiff but will need their rivals to slip up.
Barney Ronay (Guardian): Chelsea will probably not end up title-winners this season but they would seem to have had a fairly decisive say at the last in who will, after a brilliantly engineered defensive performance. The debate on what kind of spectacle we are allowed to expect or demand will continue in the background to this game but on this occasion, as in Madrid last Tuesday, Mourinho's team has exposed an opponent's weaknesses through relentlessly focusing on their own strengths.
Paul Hayward (Telegraph): Gerrard is the captain, quarterback, local hero and spiritual guardian of this Liverpool side. The rebirth of Brendan Rodgers's team has been two stories in one. First, the quest to win the English title for the first time in 24 summers. Second, Gerrard's mission to complete his medal collection with a Premier League disc. His loyalty and perseverance have come to express the whole club's striving to be back on the pedestal they were knocked off over two demoralising decades. None of that changes with one bad first touch and a slip of the studs. We cannot be so reductionist that we condense a whole campaign into one trip.
Picture: Gerrard's slip in digital form
Neville Common (Eurosport-Yahoo! user): As an Evertonian, I have to say it's completely unsporting to blame Gerrard for that result just because he slipped over.
Mr Anfield Aces (Eurosport-Yahoo! user): We should have played 'keep ball' in the centre of the pitch and in front of the Chelsea backline of 8 - and just probed away without being too desperate to find that goal. You have to probe away and 'draw out' the opposition from his defensive lines...and then try to get through.

I had another Brompton rider shout Hello this morning.... nice to get recognition from other Brompton / folder owners.
I had another Brompton rider shout Hello this morning.... nice to get recognition from other Brompton / folder owners.
I always say that my safety equipment on my bike includes my wedding ring. I often have trouble riding away from the bus stop in the morning because I'm being chatted up by an attactive lady in her 40,s.
Very rarely have I ever got anything worse than a bit of a laugh. I may look like a freak on my bike but most comments are positive.
I get cat calls occasionally (on both my Dahon and my recumbent), and it's always always always the same - 2 or more guys in a pickup truck or old beater car. Gives credence to the whole "men in groups" thing.
I don't care what they yell, as along as they give me room on the road.
I've had the occasional negative or derogatory shouts from kids hanging around on street corners in some of the less desirable parts of Glasgow I ride through when on my Dahon. I have also had comments (that seemed genuine) of "cool bike" though!
At the close of a pleasant, "get off the road. why don't you ride on the sidewalk" conversation, I was informed by an SUV driver that I was a bundle of sticks on a girly bike. But that was only after I called the gentleman a "little man in a big car" and patted his hood before jumping the light and riding off.
This was directly in front of my pastor's house in the middle of town. I was not exactly proud of my conduct, but I don't do so well with social graces after being nearly hit.
I really didn't help the image of cyclists, which is too bad, because the guy was actually being somewhat less of a jerk than others I have encountered.
I work in a tough urban high school, and there are plenty of students who dig my Dahon curve, but the cutting-class-hanging-out-in-the-parking-lot crew are pretty derisive about it.
The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets. Christopher Morley
I'm still actually waiting for one. I've been riding one for a week or so, and nothing. Maybe I have a lower expectation of humanity than it deserves, well, in my town, anyway. Then again, maybe the local youths are just rendered speechless.
I used to take my daughter to school in a trailer at one point, and I have to say, I would have got fewer cat-calls if I'd been driving a sequinned tractor like that chap in the Village People.

We are very proud to have been the organizers of the very first Flash event in Mexico (Flash for Mexico), that had over 600 people in attendance.
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
My name is Miguel Calderon; I was born in Saltillo City, Mexico, and I´m 29 years old.
Before I found the multimedia and web world, I gained valuable experience drawing for Disney Mexico in the branding area. However a coincidence helped me out when I met a company of multimedia developers 6 years ago.
This Company was focused in the CBT´s development and was one of the pioneers in this field in Mexico. I was in charge of the interface design based mainly on pictures with very basic navigation options. I then discovered, that my ideas could go beyond this, with animation, sound, and with reaction capability with the interaction of any user in the world.
My partner, Ulises Valencia and I decided, after some time, to create an Internet development agency focused mainly on high impact sites to gain the customer's and user's attention.
Working more than 12 hours per day, and with more that 50 interactive projects, Grupo W opened the gates of sharing visions and ideas with the entire world.
Currently, 8 people form our agency and I'm in charge of the Creative Design Direction. If I have time, I give some classes at the university and talk at some conferences when I'm invited, because I think it is really important to share one's knowledge.
Movies, hamburgers, lecturing and surfing the Internet are some of my passions and I share these with my wife, Ana Maria.
What do you do for inspiration?
I do mental exercises all the time; it's like playing with the common and regular things but taking them to the extreme: Watching the street, people, the shape of the clouds in the sky…
Definitely, movies, books, music (any kind) and good conversations are the source of my inspiration, that's why I try to keep in contact with all this stuff. And of course, the great masters of web design are our inspiration, as they prove to us you can go beyond anything…
Please list 3 of your favourite sites that you surf.
FWA (Is my homepage!) It's a place to see a new thing everyday!
I could make a list of many great sites we all like, but I'll make a list of Mexican sites (those that I use to visit because of their quality and information):
Dmimagelabs (no longer online)
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
That question would be impossible to answer a few months ago, because it's difficult to say what your great achievements are, however we are very proud to have been the organizers of the very first Flash event in Mexico (Flash for Mexico), that had over 600 people in attendance, and to confirm the first web developers community in our country, with great experienced people from all over Hispano-America. This made Mexico appear as one of the world communities in Flash.
What software couldn't you live without?
Fractal Painter is like having a box of colors and a sheet of paper... there is no better way to start a project!! Of course, without Flash, the entire Internet world would be really boring. =)
What projects do you have in the pipeline?
Right now we are working on 2 sites and starting to plan the next Flash For Mexico event for next year!
Who do you rate as being the top 3 design companies?
I think I rate a lot of them!; WDDG, without doubt, SecondStory, Juxt Interactive
What effect on traffic do your new designs have?
We try to generate an experience in the user's mind to make him come back. I think that is the challenge… we try to reflect our environment (Mexico), to share it with all the many different countries. The comments we receive about our sites are, generally, positive and well, the last site was the Flash For Mexico site, and it went around the entire world in 4 weeks, achieving 60 thousand visits in that time.
It has been a great experience for us, gaining the interest of an audience that does not speak our language.
Who is your target audience?
It depends on each project. I think it is really important to know the target to have success in a effective communication between the user and the site. We like to try with several targets in each project, because it gives us the opportunity to explore more.
What area of web design lacks the most?
We need to achieve the balance in all aspects of design, which is the hardest to realise. Well-designed sites, with utility, content and also, generating an interactive experience with the user. The Internet never stops improving, although some agencies are achieving this "perfect" communication, this is still a young way of this type of communication.
What did your very first site look like? Is it still online?
At the time we liked it, but it is terrible to see how something we though was pretty good, became something really bad. The web is going so fast that it is better not looking back… could make us feel really bad... jajaja.
What was the toughest thing you ever did with Flash? How long did you
spend on it? Is it still online?
The site we made for the Museo de las Aves de Mexico was a major project that lasted 8 months. We worked a lot on the content and design and took more than 3000 pictures… we learned a lot and we enjoyed it, I think the result was worth it. It is already online, and you can visit it at www.museodelasaves.org.
Do you think Flash is here to stay?
Definitely! The evolution of it has been as fast as the Internet itself; just a few tools to achieve that kind of growth. It has made many key alliances to get all the world's communities together, and besides being a standard, has changed the way of communication between the user and the Internet. The virtual world would be very boring without Flash!
What are your views on design/graphic school. Do you think someone can get into the field without educational experience in a school environment?
In my personal experience I have never finished the design career... I believe it is important to have the experience of relationship with teachers and classmates, that retro alimentation are necessary.
However, sometimes this is counterproductive to exactly follow the rules that you learn there, because the greatest design moments have happened when someone decided to take a new road. I think that the real education of the designer is in watching movies, going to lectures, talking to people and in the daily practice of your profession.
When your company was just getting started, what did you find was most effective for getting new clients?
Publicity by word of mouth is the best way, because when a client is satisfied with what we have developed for him, he immediately recommends us and generates new clients. Since our agency started, the vision has been to surpass expectations so that each project generates the next one and till now this has been what has happened.
What is the most expensive thing you've bought in the last week?
Mmmm, interesting question, hehe… Usually I spend very little in my daily life, we are so austere here in Mexico. Maybe the most expensive thing that I bought last week was a high chair for my 7-month-old daughter.
How have you learned so many Flash/design skills and techniques and can you offer any advice for newbies?
Well, this is not like school, it is more about passion. Search, make mistakes and learn…Many people copy other's work to avoid problems with the customer or user, but the satisfaction of achieving something by yourself is really worth the sleepless nights!
What type of overcoat do you wear when Flashing, basically are you a labels man?
Anything that makes me comfortable is perfect, the weekends when I have to work, I wear shorts and a T-shirt, to keep in mind that, although I´m working it is the weekend! =)
Any parting shots or pearls of wisdom?
If you are looking for easy money, web design is not the option…those who really love this work will find a lot of satisfaction. For it, you need to learn a lot, keep awake and sacrifice some things… But believe me, in the end, this is well worth it.
It's been a privilege, Miguel, thanks very much.
Thank to you FWA, to inspire us so much with your project. It is an honor and a privilege sharing our words with you. Thanks for your support of Flash for Mexico, we will never forget. =).

The Qualified Legal Compliance Committee under Sarbanes-Oxley: Enlisting Independent Directors to Enhance Corporate Integrity
Volz, William H., Tazian, Vahe, Michigan Academician
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) (1) imposes specific requirements on corporate attorneys that have broad implications on corporate governance and corporate organization. With the adoption of Sarbanes-Oxley, Congress and the SEC seek to limit corporate misconduct through two devices. First, they expand the accountability of corporate "gatekeepers," such as accountants, attorneys, and financial analysts. (2) Second, they vigorously promote specialized committees of independent directors within the corporate governance structure. (3)
This article will explore how one of these specialized committees proposed under SEC Rule 205, (4) the Qualified Legal Compliance Committee (QLCC), can serve as a valuable resource for management and corporate counsel when a reasonable belief exists that a material violation of the law may have occurred, is occurring or is about to occur. Part I provides a brief legislative history of the Act, particularly Section 307, and explores the SEC's rationale for involving corporate counsel in its investigation of corporate misconduct. Part II describes the SEC's requirements for establishing a QLCC, including its composition, its procedures, its authority, and its responsibilities. Part III analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of various structural and procedural options available to boards of directors that may be considering establishing a QLCC. Part IV explores the costs, the potential personal liability of directors, and other reasons that may explain a relatively slow rate of adoption of the QLCC by the corporate community. In Part V, the article offers a recommended structure and a set of procedures for the QLCC to ensure its effectiveness as a monitor of corporate behavior and as a valuable resource for management, in-house attorneys and the investment community.
Throughout its seventy-year history of enforcing federal securities laws, the SEC has assumed the role of the public's "statutory guardian" of honesty in the securities markets. (5) Many of the expanded statutory remedies created in Sarbanes-Oxley can be traced to enforcement proposals of the 1970s, an era known as the "golden age of SEC enforcement." (6) The SEC's vision for expanded regulation of corporate governance was outlined in a 1976 speech entitled, "Restoring Integrity to American Business." (7) In that speech, Stanley Sporkin, Director of the SEC's Enforcement Division, proposed that companies appoint a business practice officer responsible for implementing codes of ethical conduct. (8) Although a seemingly modest proposal in comparison to the regulations imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley, Sporkin, in fact, was looking to expand SEC powers beyond the limited statutory remedies then available to it. The SEC's historic power to seek injunctive relief against corporate violators of securities laws was seen by some commentators both as an inadequate remedy for the losses suffered by investors and as an ineffective deterrent to corporate violators. (9) Although courts have generally supported the SEC's petitions to force corporate management to disgorge ill-gotten gains, those charged with enforcement at the SEC have actively sought additional means to enforce the law. (10)
Access Theory
One strategy conceived by the SEC in the 1970s, when consent decrees were commonly used, was the "access theory" of securities law enforcement. (11) Because lawyers, accountants, and securities industry professionals often participate in, or have access to, management's decision-making process, the SEC reasoned that placing pressure on these key professionals would force a closer monitoring of corporate compliance. (12) This theory of enforcement sought to impose individual sanctions not only upon those professionals who were active participants in a violation, but also upon those who had merely acquiesced or who had failed to detect the illegal activity. …

Is there a better cycling name these days than Edvard Boasson-Hagen?
I know nothing about the man, and he seems to be an up and coming cyclist, but you have got to love that name on poetic grounds if nothing else.
Thor Hushovd is a good name, too, but I wouldn't name a family member after him.
However, if one of my daughters spawns a son, I'm going to push for naming him Boasson-Hagen. That would be so awesome.
I guess that's it.

A return to the sea, part V: Wedding Days and Rainy Days
And yet again, 11 months later, I remember this blog exists! One day I'm going to reach the end of this tale…preferably while I still remember what it was like, after two and a half years.
We last left the story on the Friday evening, after my first day in Brunswick after finding out that I was in a town of writers.
I apologize in advance: this is going to be the boring entry. It doesn't really cover journey or discovery, just tie up assorted loose bits and ends of the story from my time in Brunswick.
A return to the sea part IV: of clam chowder and writers
Continuing right on, for a change, we shall now examine the town of Brunswick, Maine. Unless you've lived from the area or visit Maine regularly, you may well have never heard of it. It's a small town, twenty thousand, no bigger than my hometown of Beloeil back in Canada. Such a small town, in fact, that Matt, when I was making my travel plans, that I might not find much of interest in Brunswick.
He was, to put it lightly, way off the mark.
A return to the Sea, part III: From Bunker Hill to Brunswick
GASP! I have returned, and with the next part of my long-delayed Boston saga.
Last I posted, over a year ago, I had reached the far end of the Freedom Trail and climbed to the top of the Bunker Hill monument. (As an aside, I expect at least another four entries to cover the whole rest of the journey – at least two for the three days spent in Brunswick, and another two for the return trip).
EDIT: Obviously, this was written – and posted, just narrowly – before today's news from Boston reached me. My thoughts go to anyone affected by the events.
Putting a little bit of good in this world
(I realize I should go back and complete the Boston saga. I will, eventually)
Among my many hobbies, I'm one of the top staff member of a major online fansite ("major" as in one of the most popular video gaming fansites in the world per Alexa rankings, imperfect as they are). Like the vast majority of fansites, it has its own forums, and, like the vast majority of forums, that forum allows for discussion of off-topic subjects, such as social and political issues, including, of course, gay rights and gay discrimination.
In the past, like most fan sites in the world, we used to treat discussion of homosexuality as a political debate. We allowed conservatives and liberals to state their views on the matter, so long as they did so without personal attacks. We felt that this was fair; that both side got to argue their view, and give their reasonings.
It wasn't fair, and it wasn't right.
At the end of the day, homosexuality is people. It's what they are (or an inalienable part of it). Homosexuality, to teenagers and young adults, means beginning to realize you're "different", with all that it entails. Homosexuality, to them, far too often means living afraid of anyone else finding out who they are; afraid that if anyone find out, they will get shunned, mocked, beaten. In some cases, afraid for their lives even. Homosexuality is about fearing you will lose your family, or have already lost it, over finding out who you are. Homosexuality often mean not daring to go to school anymore, because of how you will betreated there. Too often, it means suicide.
Homosexuality, on fansites, means coming online to enjoy your favorite entertainment, only find that even here, on a website dedicated to the shows they watch, the games they play, they can't escape the hatred, the mockery, and, especially the condemntation. That even here they can't escape being told they don't deserve equal rights. That even here, the word that define them is used as an insult, to the point that many fansites actually censor the term: that "gay" come out as "***".
Is it politics to say that those fans deserve to enjoy the site as much as any other fan? Is it politics to say that people won't enjoy the site as much if a fundamental part of who they are get called immoral or a disease? No. There's nothing political about either of these. It's simple empathy, and common sense.
But what about going out of your way, on a fansite, to hound teenagers who are struggling with who they are to tell them they are going to hell; that they shouldn't be able to marry; that they suffer from a disease? That's not about being who you are, it's not about trying to live your life – it's about trying to tell others who they have a right to be, and how they should live their lives. That is politics. Letting it happen is politics.
At the end of the day, choosing between these two sides isn't playing politics. Obama will win, or Romney will win. Harper will get another majority, or he won't. Gay marriage will be legalized, or it won't. There's precious little we, as a fansite, could do to influence these issues, so no point in us taking a side one way or another.
What we can do, is put a little bit more good in their world. Not much. Maybe, perhaps probably, not enough.
But still more than there was yesterday. That alone is worth it.
(This is largely an edited version of the editorial I wrote to explain the change on the fansite in question. I felt like it deserved reposting)
A return to the Sea, part II: The Freedom Trail
My last entry left thing on the morning of september 29, on arrival in Boston. As a general observation, Boston is both somewhere I had never seen before, and somewhere that, as far as cities go, has always been fairly high up on my to-visit list (well ahead, for example, of New York). I remember, as a thirteen years old when my family went to Cape Cod, asking my parents to stop by Boston quite a few times, but that never happened.
The result of which being that my visit to Boston, though short, was packed, and that I don't know if I can fit it all in one entry (also, unlike my visit to New Haven two years ago, I wasn't limping on a still-sprained ankle the whole visit).
Anyway. A cloudy day in Boston…
A return to the sea, part I: A Journey in Darkness
As noted, I have more travel stories (with photos, although this first part will be light on photos, for reasons implicit in the title).
As with Fayeteville back in 2008, the reason for the journey was a friend's wedding, on the coast of Maine. Not a friend I had never met before (he came up to Montreal to visit me in early 2011, with his fiancée), but a long-time online friend all the same, Matt. (one of many Matts around me these days). Plane (price) and train (doesn't go there) were not options, so it was time to try yet another way of long-distance travel, the bus.
Since the only bus from Boston to Brunswick run in the evening, and since on the whole I prefer leaving at eight PM than leaving at four AM, I decided to spend a day in Boston along the way. (on the return trip, I spent only a few short hours, because I thought a daytime journey through the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont would be good thinking. Which I was right about.
For obvious reasons, the first several hours of the trip are going to be light on pictures. Aside from the stopover at White River Junction, and a few pictures taken in the gray, rainy light of dawn, I just couldn't take much. On the flip side, I could probably fill several entries with Boston alone, and the return journey (in broad daylight from Maine til the valley of the Winooski (see : half a dozen other entries)) also has a great deal going for it.
Back to bloggery (also ramblings)
So after a hiatus of a year (and what a year it has been), I've decided to start blogging again. Because I realized I needed somewhere to put the tale of my latest journey (Boston and Maine in late september/early october), to talk about writing, and generally to share my thoughts on a variety of topics.
First observation: a year ago, as of my last blog posted here, I was a visitor in Ottawa. I loved the place, but it was a detached, visitor sort of love. That's no longer true. My life's here now, something that becomes more obvious each time I go back to my parents' in Beloeil for a visit. This is where my friends are, where my home is (I'm now renting an apartment with two friends instead of renting a room in a stranger's house), where my haunts are. While life still has a way to go with me before I can settle down, I'd strongly consider remaining here for good if I can find a job.
Second observation: I'm good at Law. Without going into details, as of the last two sets of grades I got in (the two terms of my first year), I'm every inch as good a student as my sister ever was. Given how much of an inferiority complex I used to have toward my sister results-wise, that's huge for me.
Third observation: I can write.I mean, I've won NaNoWriMo a few times before, true, but hitting 50 000 words within the first week, finishing the novel before the end of the second, and despite the insane speed ending up with (of all my NaNo works to date) the one I'm most comfortable sharing with others (though it still needs work)…that's a new one.
Fourth observation: I lost track of letting go of frustrations (that is, forgiving and putting them behind rather than letting them pile up until they come off as snide bitching) a few times in the last several years, mostly involving American politics. It cost me my dearest friend (although said friend added me back on Google+ several months after the incident, so go figure. I am mildly perplexed). It's something I should be good at (God knows I wouldn't have gotten through high school without being good at it), and I need to remember to do it.
Fifth observation: there was, about last month, a huge outcry about bullying in Quebec following a suicide. Lots of people came out with videos and what not denouncing bullying, and many of them stating they had themselves been bullying victims. A lot of (other) people, including some quite close to me, dismissed many of those videos as stars trying to get some sympathy capital by joining the "cause", and people who really had no clue what bullying is. I was a bullying victim (big time – not in a "jocks picking on nerd" sense, in a "the guy the nerds thought was godawful) and frankly, I don't give a damn why they are doing it. They could be taking up the cause for money for all I care. So long as they speak about it. It's too easy a topic to forget about.
(Fifth and a half observation. I went to my high school reunion, as discussed in a post way down the archive.At times during the evening there was virtually a line-up to apologize to me, including both bullies themselves and the people who stood aside and did nothing)
Sixth observation: a lot of teens and young adults of Quebec reacted to the above suicide by hounding the bullies on facebook and bullying them in turn.
As I phrased it on facebook then: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and it won't be long before all that's left is assholes.
Nobody, ever, deserves bullied.
Last, and not least observation: my soon to be eight months old niece is awesome😀.

On a stormy February 13 evening several years ago, my husband asked me what I wanted for a Valentine's gift.
Without hesitating, I replied, "A homemade card."
I knew the request was simple and easy-the thoughtful gift to request.
"What do you want?" I asked. Facing a busy day and I secretly hoped he'd ask for a big, wet kiss that would melt him at the knees.
"I'd like a homemade red velvet cake," he replied.
"Delivered to work?" I volunteered.
"That would be great!"
My mind began racing. How am I going to finish up all my projects, run errands and still find time to bake and deliver a cake? I'd never baked a red velvet cake, but I knew I couldn't let him down.
The set the alarm early and began researching recipes for red velvet cake before the sun crested the horizon. By mid-morning, I slid the cake pans into the oven. A glance at the clock revealed everything was on track for a noon delivery.
Twenty minutes later my two nine-inch round cakes looked like rolling hills. I turned to icing to save me. With every brush stroke, the cake tore apart and slowly transformed into a pinkish glob of goo. Then the icing ran out.
I grabbed the cake, a butter knife and headed back to the grocery store where I found even more people like myself (okay, not quite like myself) running around buying last-minute Valentine's gifts. I purchased another double-container of icing, and opted for a red-helium balloon and a card just in case the cake couldn't be saved.
On the way to my husband's office, the helium balloon began rubbing up and down on the side of my head creating static. As many times as I tried to bat it away, the balloon returned. For the safety of everyone on the road, I gave into its annoying presence.
I arrived at my husband's workplace looking like I'd pressed my finger into an electric switch. With no time to lose, I iced the pink glob in the trunk of the car, hastily filled out a card with an endearing message using a pen I found underneath the car seat, and patted down my ridiculous looking hair. I took a deep breath, plastered on a smile, and walked into my husband's office with gifts in hand.
Only he wasn't there.
Happy stinkin' Valentine's Day. He was tied up in an unscheduled meeting for the afternoon. All I could think was, "Is he going to notice just how much icing is on this cake?"
Afraid he might not feel loved post-cake fiasco, I printed out heart-shaped love notes and placed them every stair between the entryway and our second floor so he would see them when he came home.
But he had to work late.
By the time he got home, we had experienced a power outage. Walking up the stairs, he couldn't see a single note.
Meanwhile, despite the fresh tulips and cute store card my husband purchased, he kept apologizing to me because he hadn't had time to fulfill my request for a homemade card.
We sat on the couch in the dark on Valentine's Day and found out something new about each other: neither of us really cared a whole lot about the holiday. He purchased flowers and cards so I would feel loved and I became a crazed baker with frizzy hair to express my love. What we discovered that night is that both of us already felt thoroughly and sufficiently loved because of the way we treat each other and live life together the other 364 days of the year.
A few weeks post-Valentines fiasco, I began reflecting on how much loving God and receiving the love of God isn't reserved for holidays like Easter or Christmas or Valentines.
To put it in Valentine's terms, God isn't looking for balloons, flowers, and a cake on special occasions for us to express our love to him. But he is looking for a more intimate and involved relationship where the gifts we offer to him-words of thanks, songs of praise, acts of service, expressions of kindness, bragging on him to others, and more-fill each and every day.
On this Valentines, may you remember that when it comes to loving God the greatest gift you can give God is yourself-not just today but each and every day.

Community Partnerships
Several of the courses work with partners in global communities to realize the action components. Alumni, international graduate students and local practitioners working across the globe speak to the students about their work, through video links or class visits. Alumni and other organizations also help enable action projects.
For instance, in BIOS-3, alumni enable the virtual visits to an AIDS clinic. A local medical aid organization in Pittsburgh aided in transporting the AIDS Caregiver Kits collected and assembled by the class to clinics in Africa. Regular partnerships with non-governmental organizations or local governments enable student work in global locations in Technical Consulting in the Global Community.
Faculty and company connections in global venues enable the realistic international experience of International Collaborative Construction Management and Global Systems Project Management. Our short courses and global conferences are local university and industrial partnerships that draw on expertise and resources from all of us in the Pittsburgh area and across the United States including the United Nations and global foundations.

Wife Craves Black
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
If it is true that when you go black, you never go back, what is a husband to do when his Wife Craves Black (and he is white)? If this site is any indication, what he does is he invites a well-hung black stud (or studs) over to have some hardcore sex with his wife, stays to watch the whole thing and even has it filmed. It seems like a good idea, right?
On WifeCravesBlack you start off each scene with an interview with the couple explaining why they are taking part in the scene and whose idea it was in the first place. All the performers are pornstars you're probably familiar with if you're into the MILF scene, including Mae Victoria, Phyllisha Ann and Rayveness (which hints at the fact that these aren't real couples).
All of the interracial goodness happens as their "husbands" look on, sometimes as part of the scene and even once I saw as a cameraman. You also get to hear the hotties talk dirty to their spouses in some sweet cuckolding action.
There are 26 movies and 71 picture sets. The bad news (besides the low numbers) is that that is the same amount of material that was available when we did our initial review about four years ago. This seems to make it pretty clear that they have discontinued updating and that you will be relying on the bonus videos feeds from a myriad of sites not long after joining. Speaking of those feeds, some of them offer interracial and wife-swapping action, but many of them are in different niches, like general hardcore, BDSM and gay.
Your membership here gives you average-quality Windows Media downloads. These are full-length scenes that run just under 30 minutes each. The photos look good, but they are not high-res. Unfortunately, there aren't any Zip files, so you will have to save the images individually or else view them online.
This site had the makings of a good site. Unfortunately, the lack of updates forces the viewer to rely on bonus feeds that are not all in the same category. While it may be true that Wife Craves Black, this site will leave some surfers craving more.
* 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.

The place is ok, you have some very good clips but these are not the most.
The husband isn't shown in most clips so it is a downside of the site. The advante is black bulls are on the clips always.

AHMEDABAD/KOLKATA: Rising rural incomes from cash crops, higher grain prices and the employment guarantee scheme are prompting farmers to turn to mutual funds, insurance, real estate and commodities futures, creating exciting opportunities for financial services companies.
Gold and silver continue to lure farmers, though an increasing number is gradually moving away from small savings. But there are regional variations. In West Bengal, chit funds have become a favourite in rural areas while Punjab's affluent farmers are investing in real estate, including commercial property in cities such as Chandigarh.

Drama in Italy, U.S. Weighs on Stocks
European stock markets fell on Monday, pressured by worries over a potential U.S. government shutdown, political instability in Italy and disappointing data from China.
"The fundamentals in the economy are improving and the political disagreement on Capitol Hill [in the U.S.] poses a threat to that," said Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec Securities. "Markets do have the belief that politicians will find at least a short-term solution, but as we get closer [to the deadline], that faith gets shaken."
The Stoxx Europe 600 index lost 0.6% to 310.46, trimming its monthly gain to 4.4%. For the quarter, the benchmark rallied 8.9%, marking the best three-month period since the third quarter of 2009.
"If this becomes a protracted affair, there's a possibility the U.S. could default, which will bring out the rating agencies ready with their knives to chop the sovereign's rating," said Ishaq Siddiqi, market strategist at ETX Capital. In fact, Moody's reckons [fourth-quarter] GDP could be reduced as much as 1.4% if there is a three-to-four week shutdown."
U.S. stocks fared worse, shrugging off solid manufacturing data. In late trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 132 points, or 0.9%, to 15125. The S&P 500 index shed 11 points, or 0.7%, to 1681, with all 10 sectors lower. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 14 points, or 0.4%, to 3768.
Even with the losses, stocks have posted a strong performance in recent months. Late Monday, the S&P 500 was up 3% for the month and 4.7% in the third quarter.
The Institute for Supply Management's Chicago-area purchasing managers index for September rose more than expected, to 55.7 from 53 in August. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
A general aversion toward risk was also visible in bond trading, where the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose in price for the 12th session in 14 to yield 2.614%.
Italy's FTSE MIB index was one of the biggest decliners in Europe, off 1.2% to 17434.86. Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's party said over the weekend that all five of its ministers would resign from the cabinet, adding to political instability in the country. The index still ended September with a 4.5% gain and closed out the third quarter with a 14% rise.
Banks posted some of the biggest losses. Mediobanca MDIBY -1.37 % SpA fell 2.4%, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA lost 3.5% and UniCredit UNCFF -0.90 % SpA slid 1.3%.
Among major national indexes, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 gave up 0.8% to 6462.22. The London benchmark rose 0.8% for the month and 4% on the quarter. Germany's DAX 30 index slid 0.8% to 8594.40, but gained 6.1% in September and 8% in the third quarter. France's CAC 40 index dropped 1% to 4143.44, paring its quarterly gain to 11% and the monthly advance to 5.3%.
Mining shares fell on weaker-than-expected manufacturing data from China. The final HSBC China purchasing managers index for September came in at 50.2, lower than the preliminary reading of 51.2.
Anglo American NGLOY -2.72 % PLC fell 1.4%, Rio Tinto PLC dropped 1.4%, and BHP Billiton BBL -0.72 % PLC skidded 1.1%.
Banks also weighed. Commerzbank AG CRZBY -0.11 % fell 1.9%, Crédit Agricole SA CRARY 0.40 % lost 1.5% and HSBC Holdings HSBC 0.97 % PLC slipped 1.2%.
In currency trading, the euro was buying $1.3523 late Monday, unchanged from late Friday in New York. The dollar was fetching ¥98.20 from ¥98.24, while the pound was at $1.6187 from 1.6139.
Among commodities, front-month crude oil fell 0.5% to $102.33 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, but gained $5.77, or 6%, for the quarter. Gold on the Comex division slipped 0.9% on the day but jumped $102.70, or 8.2%, for the quarter to $1,326.50 a troy ounce.

There are quite a few studies debunking the effectiveness of Open-Plan Offices (sometimes named Open Space), such as this study by the Queensland University of Technology. However, I wonder whether it might be true that OPOs might have any positive impacts. Is there any proof for that or is there only evidence to the contrary?
The cost of fit-out for open-plan areas is much lower than traditional offices.
For example, this interior decorator suggests:
An open plan office design traditionally cost approx $400 per square meter. An average office fitout with a few offices traditionally costs approx $550 - $750 per square meter depending on the level of finish required.
(That's Australian dollars, but the units are largely irrelevant.)
If you squeeze more people per square metre into an open-plan area than a traditional office, that is even more savings per employee.
(I'm half-expecting responses that this is a false economy, but that is largely dependent on the commercial conditions the company finds itself in. There may well be some situations where it makes good economic sense to sacrifice longer term productivity in order to reduce up-front costs.)
It depends on the job: for programmers, productivity trumps cost effectiveness and open plan is bad
This answer might count as incestuous on a stackexchange site, but, what the hell.
Some time ago Joel Spolsky argued that making programmers more productive dominated everything else in a software company (I'm simplifying his argument a bit). As a result he recommended the following (my emphasis):
So that is at least one, expert, source who thinks open plan is a productivity killer (at least for programmers).

How can I increase the number of simultaneous connections in apache2? I'm using a javascript application that polls the server regularly and I'm trying to prevent clients from getting locked out. I know I should switch to a non-locking webserver, but until that, is there any kind of hack I can do in apache to optimize this? Thanks.
Perform a search on this site for 'MaxClients' which should turn up quite a bit of information to get you started.
There may be a few directives you want to look at depending on your server resources that could affect the number of simultaneous connections and thus performance of your web server. Here are a few examples (some may or may not need to be configured depending on your environment):
On the Apache level you'll want to maximize the
As a rough guide you can run
If you want to increase MaxClients further you can try to reduce the size of the Apache processes by not loading any module you don't need.
As you mentioned, you may wish to consider an alternative web server, or possibly dual Apache web servers, to increase the number of concurrent connections possible. When Apache is configured to server dynamic pages (PHP, etc...) it is relatively memory hungry which puts a relatively low limit on how many connections you can have before running out of RAM. The usual choice in this case is to use a lighter web server (Lighttpd, Nginx, etc...) to serve all the static content and leave Apache to just serve the dynamic pages.

Mixed performance at best for CBS in Super Bowl telecast
Musings from a Super Bowl Sunday on the couch:
This was hardly the way CBS wanted its Super Bowl telecast to be remembered _ for a stadium power outage that briefly silenced its game announcers. But the network handled the 35-minute delay competently and then caught a break when the 49ers turned a blowout into a compelling game.
CBS is the only NFL carrier that doesn't use sideline reporters during the regular season. But Steve Tasker and Solomon Wilcots, assigned to the role Sunday, did good work updating viewers during the delay.
After the outage disabled the microphones for Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, CBS went to break before Tasker reported what was happening. After another break, CBS' studio team returned, but without Boomer Esiason, who was working the game on radio.
"Immediately after the power failure, we lost numerous cameras and some audio powered by sources in the Superdome," CBS said in a statement. "We utilized CBS' backup power and at no time did we leave the air."
There were a few unanswered questions, though: 1) Why would no NFL official go on air to explain this mess? 2) Why was Shannon Sharpe confused by the 28-6 score? First he said it was a 21-point margin, then said it was 17. 3) Why did Ravens coach John Harbaugh unleash an expletive-filled tirade at an NFL suit, and why didn't CBS explain that?
Simms explains the game in simple terms, but this wasn't one of his best performances. He wasn't entirely accurate when he said early on that the 49ers "don't give up big pass plays down the field." They usually did not in the regular season but permitted three touchdown passes of 20 yards or more in their first two playoff games, and had major issues Sunday.
Notably, Simms did not criticize the 49ers running on two third-and-long situations or the Ravens attempting a fake field goal when up 14-3. But he questioned the 49ers for challenging the spot on a fourth-quarter play, then admitted it was a smart move after the 49ers won the challenge.
And after asserting the referees were correct in not calling defensive holding on the 49ers' incomplete pass on fourth-and-goal late in the gaming, Simms admitted he was "confused" after watching the replay again.
After Joe Flacco's first touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin, Simms said he heard all week that Baltimore would look for Boldin in that situation. But he should have said it before the play.
CBS picked up audio of Flacco saying "(expletive) awesome" after the game.
Nantz incorrectly said a 49ers fumble was not a fumble but was otherwise very good.
CBS erred by using a noisy outdoor set for the first 2 1/2 hours of its pregame show. The crowd cheering and chanting nearly ruined a serious discussion about concussions.
Credit Sharpe for asking two pointed questions to Ray Lewis about his involvement in the stabbing deaths of two men in 2000. (Murder charges were dropped against Lewis, who accepted a plea deal and admitted at the time to giving misleading statements to police.)
Sharpe asked Lewis what he would tell the families of the two victims, who recently have accused him of knowing more than he has ever shared. His answer would have been unsatisfying to those families. "If you really knew the way God works, he doesn't use people who commit anything like that," Lewis said.
That answer also didn't appease Esiason, who snapped: "He knows what went on there. He doesn't want to say. He paid off the families."
CBS said on air that Sharpe didn't ask Lewis about an allegation that he used deer-antler spray because the interview was conducted before the Sports Illustrated report surfaced.
CBS delivered three exceptional pregame features: on Ravens front-office official and former player O.J. Brigance (who explained that Lou Gehrig's disease prevents him from speaking and moving but doesn't diminish his cognitive skills); another on Colts coach Chuck Pagano's battle with leukemia (CBS smartly had one of his daughters, Tori, narrate the segment); and an emotional piece on two Gateway High students _ one who died, one who survived _ the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting last summer.
Scott Pelley's interview with President Obama was respectful, unlike Fox's Super Bowl session two years ago, when Bill O'Reilly repeatedly interrupted Obama.
Pelley surprisingly opened with a question Obama was asked by the New Republic a week ago: If you had a son, would you let him play football? "I'd have to think about it," Obama said, again.
Dan Marino did not seem distracted by Thursday's revelation that he fathered a child out of wedlock in 2005. As expected, the topic was not broached on the broadcast.
Thankfully, CBS did not subject us to any of those inane red carpet interviews that polluted the Fox and NBC pre games the past two years.
CBS Sports allows sponsors to infiltrate its editorial content more than any other network, and that continued with a cheesy segment (no pun intended) in which Sharpe and Esiason asked fans to shout "hut, hut!" in exchange for food from Pizza Hut.
After James Brown pointed out that none of the 15 coach or general manager openings were filled by minorities, commissioner Roger Goodell said changes would be made to the Rooney Rule. But James should have asked Goodell a follow-up: What changes?
Funniest moment: After Sharpe inadvertently called Greg Gumbel "J.B.," Gumbel said, "Alright, Sterling," a reference to Shannon's brother.

The Bachelor: Jake Pavelka & Vienna Girardi's Tense Reunion
July 06, 2010 01:00 PM by Nancy Floyd
In case you missed last night's episode of The Bachelorette, things got ugly when newly broken up The Bachelor couple, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi reunited to discuss their failed relationship. It was a he-said/she-said match of epic proportions complete with name calling, crying, and an abrupt departure. Keep reading for more details on their tense and heated reunion…
Since breaking up just weeks ago, rumors have been flying between The Bachelor couple, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi. Things only got nastier last night when, in a pre-taped segment for The Bachelorette, the pair reunited to explain their split to host Chris Harrison. Vienna Girardi called Jake Pavelka a "fame whore" and "liar," while he insinuated that she cheated on him and consistently undermined him as a man during their relationship.
Chris Harrison seemed like a deer in headlights as the insults were flying between Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi and he did his best to mediate, a task that wasn't made too easy by Vienna Girardi's constant interruptions and emotional outbursts. Ultimately, Vienna Girardi stormed off in tears, refusing to return, after Jake Pavelka raised his voice to her. While many feared that the interview would be slanted in favor of The Bachelor star, Jake Pavelka, Chris Harrison hopes audiences feel that both sides were well represented.
"I feel the interview really spoke for itself. I'm satisfied that you got to see and hear everything," Chris Harrison says. "From my perspective, the interview was very fair to both parties and wasn't very flattering for anybody involved. Maybe it was just too soon to have that intimate a conversation. It is my sincere hope that Vienna and Jake will find it in their hearts to bury the hatchet and move on peacefully with their lives, wherever that may take them."
Vienna Girardi, for her part, is pleased with how the interview was portrayed. Last night after the reunion aired, she tweeted, "Thank you for all your support. The truth will always prevail. I'm so glad people see what I have been going through. Love you all."

Too bad Jake fell for Vienne's FAKE nice persona she put on in front of him. Looks like he saw her true colors within a week of being with her off camera. Vienne is nothing but an inbreed hick that needs to return to her roots and leave the beauty of California to those that deserve to live here! We do not appreciate her kind living here. Jake does not seem perfect, but by goodness making it a week with Vienne, he deserves a price of some sort! Jake, go find a put together, classy, educated woman; Vienne, go graduate from high school and get a job at 7-11 and good luck!

My Girlfriend's Job Search Dilemma
Posted By Jim On 08/26/2005 @ 10:09 am In General,Personal Finance | 7 Comments
My girlfriend recently moved down here from New Jersey and is in need of a job. A chemical and biomedical engineering is what's on her resume but that makes her qualified for a whole bunch of engineering-type jobs that include process engineering and the like. Anyway, part of her search has put her in the databases of several head-hunting firms here in Baltimore so in addition to her own searches on Monster, Hotjobs, etc ad infinitum, there are temp agencies and head-hunters looking for her as well. This has yielded several interviews with local companies, one of which is some manufacturing firm in Baltimore that makes some widget for something. She was offered a contract engineering job with that company doing something that she wouldn't be entirely thrilled about for pay that is fair for the work but perhaps a little under (not much) her fair market value. Should she take it?
They liked her so much that they offered her a job knowing it's not her thing and told her she could continue to look for a job (at night). She picked up on the fact that they were hoping she'd start, really like it, and stay. She'd have to commit for at least a month and it would be a full time job. Now we begin to weigh the pro's and the con's (in my order of importance):
Pro: She is being paid and she gets health benefits.
Con: It's not the work she truly wants to do. It's not like she hates it, it's an indifference.
Pro: She gets frequent interaction with people during the day.
Con: She has to commit to work there at least a month, preferably six; which means if a job dropped in her lap today, she wouldn't be able to start that for another month. Plus, it's a little irresponsible to only work somewhere for a month.
Pro: She gets used to the daily grind again, which isn't critical since she only stopped working a few weeks ago.
Con: It may not be an entirely ideal work environment, as is the case with a lot of heavily male manufacturing facilities, there is probably a little (or a lot) sexism.
I don't think this will be the only job she's going to be offered and I think she shouldn't accept it. The money isn't important now, she can activate a COBRA if she needs it, and I don't like the idea of locking yourself up for a month just for some extra cash. We talked about it and she had come to the same conclusion; anyone have thoughts on this?

Editor's note: 24 Hawkeyes to Watch is a feature released Monday, Aug. 6, highlighting one athlete from each of the 24 intercollegiate sports offered by the University of Iowa. More than 700 talented student-athletes are currently busy preparing for the 2012-13 athletics year at the UI. Hawkeyesports.com will introduce you to 24 Hawkeyes who, for one reason or another, are poised to play a prominent role in the intercollegiate athletics program at the UI in the coming year.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Hunter Terry's rowing career has taken her across the United States and around the world. While she has numerous trophies and stories to represent her achievements, the lessons learned from the sport are what she cherishes the most.
Terry, a graduate student on the University of Iowa women's rowing team, picked up the sport as a senior in high school. Instead of attending a college in the United States after high school graduation, the Greenwich, Conn., native decided on a different route.
"After high school I attended a university in Scotland for a year," Terry said. "I rowed the entire time. Everyone in Scotland was talking about how exciting the American rowing system in college was, so I wanted to do it."
Terry eventually chose to pursue rowing at the University of Virginia, where current Iowa head coach Steve Pritzker was serving as an assistant coach. That's where the trophies began piling up.
While at Virginia, Terry helped the Cavaliers claim the 2010 and 2012 NCAA team championship. She also won the individual title in the varsity four in 2010 and was runner-up in 2012.
Terry also helped Virginia win the ACC team championship in 2010, 2011 and 2012. She was a three-time ACC Academic Honor roll student and was an Academic All-American in 2012.
Terry had one year of eligibility remaining after the national championship run last season. She decided to follow Pritzker from Virginia to Iowa.
"I had one year of eligibility left," Terry said. "I wanted to join a developing program like Iowa."
Terry's mantle is full of conference and national championship awards. Not too many collegiate athletes can say they won a national championship, but rowing allowed Terry to join that elite group.
Terry proved her athleticism and hard work allowed her to compete at an elite level in the sport. She remembers picking up the sport and the excitement that came with it.
"Becoming a rower was very exciting," Terry said. "You get a handle on the effort it takes pretty quickly. Becoming good at the technique takes a while, but going after it, pulling hard and trying your hardest comes easily.
"Once you have that mentality, it builds on itself. You can get pretty far on effort in rowing; the talent comes from the effort.'
Work ethic, pride and effort come along with becoming a rower, according to Terry. Those are attributes she will carry with her once her rowing career is finished.
"You have to have confidence in yourself and there is an inherit sense of confidence you carry with you as a college athlete," Terry said. "That will carry over after my career is done. You have to be accountable in class, in your daily life and obviously in rowing."
Terry is in her final semester as a collegiate athlete and is hoping to help the Hawkeye rowing team build a foundation for success like she enjoyed with Pritzker at Virginia. Times are improving at the Beckwith Boathouse, along with the attitude and work ethic of the student-athletes.
Achieving a high level of success in the sport takes more than talent and Pritzker is preaching that message every day. He has a great example to show in Terry.
"Some of my friends back home really didn't understand the amount of effort and mental energy it takes to be a collegiate rower," Terry said. "They ask me if it's worth it. Those national championships we won at Virginia will always be there. That's exciting."

Sascha Goluboff, associate professor of cultural anthropology at Washington and Lee University, was selected as one of three new fellows in the "Engaged Scholars Studying Congregations" program coordinated through The Hartford Seminary.
The fellowship consists of mentoring, networking and research support with funds provided by the Lilly Endowment, Inc., and aims to enhance the ability of the participants to do excellent research on their projects. Goluboff and the other fellows will have the opportunity to sharpen research skills that allow them to take the life of faith communities seriously while they build a network of mentors and colleagues.
Goluboff will spend two summers (2008 and 2009) working on her project "African American Home Church: The Politics of Race and Religion in the Rural South." The fellowship will support both summers of ethnographic research on the political and religious implications of congregants' loyalty to their "home church" in rural Southwestern Virginia.
"The opportunity to be an Engaged Scholars Fellow is extremely timely for me at this stage in my project," she said. "I come to this study with years of experience and networks in the anthropology of the former Soviet Union and Europe. So, while I have book knowledge on the topic of the Black Church, I need to connect with new colleagues who can read and evaluate my work, so as to push me to think creatively and knowledgeably within this new field of research."
Goluboff is a graduate of Colgate University, and received both her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles as well as a book, "Jewish Russians: Upheavals in a Moscow Synagogue" (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003).

Can the State prosecute a domestic violence assault case without the victim in Maryland
Any experienced criminal attorney in Maryland will tell you that the answer to this question is yes, at least in cases where the State has evidence other than the testimony of the alleged victim. In fact, in a non-domestic violence assault case that was recently decided by the Court of Appeals, Edmund v. State, the Court held that the State need not even identify the victim by name. The only requirement, according to the COA is that the victim be "substantially identified". http://mdcourts.gov/opinions/coa/2007/94a06.pdf
In the Edmund case, which incidentally I tried in the Baltimore County Circuit Court for the trial of this case, the defendant was alleged to have fired 5 shots from a handgun at nearly point blank range at a man whom the defendant claimed had been bullying him for some time. Remarkably, the victim was apparently not hit and he fled the scene. The police canvassed the area and checked the local hospitals with negative results. The police recovered the gun and shell casings and my client and his brother (a correctional officer) both gave written statements describing the incident. My client was indictment on attempted first degree murder, first degree assault and various handgun offenses.
In the charging document the alleged victim was only identified as a black male, five feet eight inches tall with a beard and a mustache. The COA held that there was simply no requirement that the victim be named or even identified beyond the vague description contained in the indictment and upheld his conviction. The good news for my client is that he was facing life in prison but I secured him a sentence of just eight years. He'll be home in four.

text: Hi all I am just looking for advice on the Gary Fisher Nirvana. I have always enjoyed casual greenbelt style riding- maybe a little dirt/gravel/sand trails too - but with gas prices rising I am trading in my '89 Dodge Spirit for a comparably priced ($500 or less) bike. I previously owned a 2003 Diamondback $240 bike which was stolen. This bike served me fairly well but was slow, had sloppy brakes, and joints which tended to strip easily. I am a small man (5'10" 160#) and do not put any strain on bikes- I would just appreciate hearing any reviews or advice.

The X Factor
Snooki Doesn't Want Carly Rose Sonenclar to Win X Factor 2012
One of the perks of being on The X Factor is that millions of people already like you — or at least know who you are — by the time the show's over. That means, regardless of whether or not you get off on the right foot with a few cool mill in your pocket, you probably have a fan or two.
And sometimes, these fans are major celebrities whose own star power they use to help pump you up. Emblem3 was asked by a Kardashian to play her party last month, but turned it down, which is just crazy to think about, considering they didn't even make it to the finals.
Seems like reality stars are huge fans of the talent competition. Jersey Shore superstar Snooki attended part 1 of the finale last night and could not stop tweeting to her six million fans about the show. She fangirled at Simon, saying "Yay SO EXCITED to go to @TheXFactorUSA tonight! Can we be best friends @SimonCowell ? K awesome." and "YAY SIMON! #INLOVE ! Love him so much ❤#starstruck," posted pics of herself with both of the male judges on the panel, and loved all up on some of the contestants.
She loves Tate Stevens
I LOVE TATE. #xfactor— NiC0LE P0LiZZi (@snooki) December 20, 2012
She loves Fifth Harmony
#xfactor waiting for FIFTH HARMONY!! instagr.am/p/TcLKZ3Bjpm/— NiC0LE P0LiZZi (@snooki) December 20, 2012
So who doesn't Snooki love? Um, Carly Rose Sonenclar, apparently. Maybe the teen is just too wholesome for the wild child, but even though Snooki's followers tweeted questions to her about the 13-year-old contestant, she didn't say a peep about her in any of her nine XF-related tweets.

There was a superb Cup tie atmosphere inside a packed Memorial Stadium on Tuesday night and the Whites got the game underway.
8 mins
After a frantic start to the game Fulham began to find their passing game but neither side threatened during the opening exchanges. Conditions underfoot were clearly taxing with the ball being held up on a heavy, bare pitch. Jimmy Bullard fired in Fulham's first shot of the game, trying his luck with a 30 yard, right footed effort, which flew just wide of Phillips' goal.
10 mins
A full blooded affair, Fulham were up for the battle, highlighted by two crunching tackles from Volz and Baird in the opening ten minutes. Danny Coles wasted Bristol's first clear opportunity on goal, firing over Warner's goal from the right hand side of the area.
14 mins
Referee Martin Atkinson overruled the linesman's decision for a throw-in down Fulham's left and the resulting throw-in was launched into Warner's area. Fulham eventually cleared but the home support were inspired by the passage of play.
17 mins
Clint Dempsey almost broke the deadlock after a fine passing move by Fulham, but his right footed shot to the far post was deflected wide by Steve Elliot. The big central defender's heroics left him grounded and Manager Paul Trollope was forced to replace the injured Elliot with Craig Disley.
27 mins
Moritz Volz, showing tremendous determination and skill, beat three opponents down the right flank to turn defence into attack. Volz' combatative, energetic style was required in midfield to combat Rovers' physical edge in the middle of the park.
35 mins
The pressure was on Fulham after the half hour mark. Rovers attacked down the flanks and Fulham's defence was forced into several late intercerptions to keep the home side at bay.
41 mins
It was all Rovers before the break and Fulham were on the back foot. The home side created two good opportunities to take the lead and the Whites were fortunate to go into the break on level terms after two minutes injury time.
45 mins
Seconds before the break Jimmy Bullard chased his man for 30 yards down the touchline before launching into a full-blooded sliding tackle. A great sight for the Fulham fans at the Memorial Stadium before the half-time whistle.
45 mins
Bristol Rovers got the second half underway and the home side created a moment of danger in the opening seconds after a cross from the right flew across Warner's goal.
48 mins
Jimmy Bullard was bundled over 30 yards from goal and Fulham worked the free-kick to Volz who fired in Fulham's first effort of the second half, but the ball flew high and wide.
50 mins
Both sides showed greater attacking guile in the second period but it was home side who looked more likely to break the deadlock. Fulham were under pressure but retained their composure to keep Rovers at bay.
58 mins
David Healy produced a moment of magic which almost earned the Whites the leaad just before the hour mark. A deep cross from the right flew towards Healy on the right hand side of the area and the striker fired in a curling right footed volley. The ball was heading for the top corner before Phillips produced a fine fingertip save.
66 mins
Rovers keeper Phillips denied Fulham once again when Clint Dempsey raced into the area chasing Healy's cute through ball. The American forward stretched to poke the ball towards goal but Phillips dived to his left and denied Dempsey.
73 mins
The pitch was cleary deteriorating as the game wore on making any attempts to play a passing game incredibly difficult. There was a moment of panic when Baird's clearance in the area flew back towards goal. As the ball looped high Warner was forced to punch clear. The ball fell to Chris Lines whose shot was fortunately blocked and cleared to safety.
82 mins
Moritz Volz was dispossessed in midfield and Rovers attacked with a three-on-three situation. The ball was eventually fired in by Lines but once again Fulham were saved in the final third by some last ditch defending. Seconds later Rovers had a chance cleared off the line and two subsequent corners severely tested the Whites defence.
85 mins
Dejan Stefanovic earned himself a yellow card from Referee Atkinson after fouling Lescott on the half way line. Neither side threatened before the 90 minute mark but right after the Fourth Official displayed two minutes of added time Carlos Bocanegra produced a superb block inside the area to deny the home side at the death.
Full TIme: Bristol Rovers 0 - 0 Fulham
Roy Hodgson replaced debutant Wayne Brown with Seol Ki-Hyeon on Fulham's right flank and the substitution almost paid dividends in the first half of extra time.
4 mins
David Healy skipped past his marker on the right flank and crossed from the right by-line. Dempsey reached the cross and fired in a right footed shot across goal but once again a late block denied the American from breaking the deadlock.
5 mins
A defensive mistake by Stefanovic set Lambert through on goal for a on-on-one with Warner. As the striker raced into the area Aaron Hughes raced back and produced a superb last ditch tackle to block the striker's shot on goal.
7 mins
Rovers manager Paul Trollope replaced Andy Williams with Sean Rigg moments after Fulham substitute Seol tested Phillips with a right footed shot which Phillips saved well from.
10 mins
After good work from Seol on the right flank Clint Dempsey fired in a stinging shot on goal and Phillips' save fell to Healy, lurking on the edge of the area. The striker sent a lob over the Rovers defence but the ball looped over the bar.
17 mins
Rovers earned two coners in the opening minutes and from the second Chris Lines fired in a 30 yard volley from the rebound. The ball flew wide and from Warner's subsequent goal kick Dempsey flicked the ball onto Bullard, racing into the area. The midfielder sent a right footed volley in on goal but the strike lacked the power to seriously test Phillips.
19 mins
A good cross from Seol on the right flank reached the near post and Dempsey flew in to meet the ball. The American's contact sent the ball wide but a brave effort by the American under pressure from two defenders.
26 mins
Lambert, 25 yards from goal on Rovers' left flank, fired in a superb right footed shot with the outsde of his boot. The pace of the shot had Warner beaten but the ball went just wide of the post.
29 mins - Red Card - Dejan Stefanovic
David Healy's pass across the middle of the park was intercepted by Chris Lines and as the Rovers player burst forward Stefanovic stepped up from defence and his late tackle earned a second yellow card and subsequent red from referee Martin Atkinson.
30 mins
After 120 minutes of football the game was at deadlock and it was time for penalties late into the night at the Memorial Stadium.
