GALVEZ — State Police arrested a Denham Springs driver Tuesday who was believed to have been distracted by a handheld electronic device when he drove through a stop sign and killed an 83-year-old driver in Ascension Parish, troopers reported.
Audrey S. Wells, of Gonzales, was pulling her car out into the intersection of La. 931 and Joe Sevario and Roddy roads when her car was struck shortly before 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, troopers said.
Travis R. Parent Jr., 23, of Denham Springs, was booked into the Ascension Parish Jail on Tuesday on counts of negligent homicide, reckless operation and felony disregarding of a stop sign, troopers said in a news release Tuesday.
Trooper Jared Sandifer, State Police spokesman for Troop A, said Parent was looking at what may have been something like the GPS function on a cellphone.
He said Parent admitted to troopers that he was looking at the device while driving. Sandifer said that evidence at the scene also pointed to that.
"He was actually engaged in this electronic device," Sandifer said, adding Parent was not speaking on the cellphone.
Wells was stopped at the intersection, which has a four-way stop sign, on Joe Sevario and was pulling out headed southbound a 1993 Lincoln Town Car, troopers said. Joe Sevario turns into Roddy Road south of La. 931.
Parent was westbound on La. 931 in a 1995 Chevrolet pickup and did not stop at the stop sign, hitting Wells, troopers said.
Wells was wearing a seatbelt but sustained fatal injuries in the crash, trooper said.
Driver impairment is unknown at this time, troopers said.
Troopers said they have submitted a toxicology sample from Parent to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
The crash remains under investigation and further charges may be pending, troopers said.

The weeks are passing and soon we will be merged and Caitsith will be no more. Sigh.
I reached my own personal little milestone this week, I got every job to 50+. With that I am dumping all of my low level gear except for the couple of useful level sync pieces. Currently my objective is to get rid of all of the ammo I bought for Ranger and Corsair, so you'll still see me seeking on one of these looking for a legitimate use for all these bullets and arrows.
I still need TWO assaults - Bloody Rondo and Bellophon Bliss. If anyone does assault still (haha) let me know.
I need the last two Windy quests for WotG. I have all of the missions done.
I hit over 1000 Beastman seals this week too. Does anyone even use these? No idea how many KS I have, it's a few hundred.
I'm looking for black belt items still.. 0/3 ; ; If anyone does kings or KS99's I'll happily help/pay for these. I don't need gil items. (does anyone?)

It was Admiral Shi Lang (施琅) who conquered Taiwan for Qing China. His armada of war junks fought a decisive sea battle off the Pescadores on July 7, 1683.
Koxinga or Zheng Chengkong drove the Dutch out of Taiwan in 1662 and founded the house of Zheng that ruled the island and the Pescadores for closely to 20 years. But he and his son Zheng Jing (鄭經) did so not as Ming emperor.
The father finally had time to ask his daughter what was all about. "What did you made the horse to come seek me out and get me back home for?" he questioned her.
Serikos is the Greek word, which means silken in English. The adjective means "pertaining to the Seres," the Asian people from whom the Greeks first obtained the soft texture.
Of the Hoklo population in Taiwan those hailing from Quanzhou (泉州) form the preponderant majority. In the county of Tongan (同安) under the jurisdiction of the prefecture of Quanzhou, a boy was born on the twenty-second day of the eighth moon on the Chinese lunar calendar while China had yet to be reunified by the Emperor Taizhu of the Song (宋太祖) Dynasty who reigned from 960 to 976 A.D.
There are usually three Buddha images in the main hall of a Buddhist temple in Taiwan. They include Sakyamuni or Gautama Siddhartha, Dipankara (Dipamkara in Pali) or Randeng fo (燃燈佛) in Chinese, and Maitreya (彌勒佛).
Gods of thunder in China's Taoist pantheon had to work together with Feng Shi (風師) or Feng Shen (風神), Gods or Goddesses of Wind.
The imperial orders of Xuanzhong (玄宗) were obeyed to the letter. Everybody at his court and palaces searched for anything that had an image of the dragon.
One of the dragons is said to have caused storm and flood by mistake. Legend has it that during the reign (627-650 A.D.) of the emperor Taizhong of the Tang Dynasty (唐太宗), a dragon king came from his undersea palace to visit Zhangan, the capital city, where he met a Taoist diviner who knew what he was and told him to go back to carry out the Jade Emperor's rainmaking order.
Typhoon Morakot struck Taiwan early last month, leaving in its wake more than 600 people dead and a third of Taiwan under floodwaters and mudslides.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/11/2012 (1749 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers wide receiver Chris Matthews has been named the CFL East Division's Most Outstanding Rookie.
Matthews, who led the Bombers in receiving, will now be up against B.C. Lions' defensive lineman Jabar Westerman for the league's most outstanding rookie award which will be presented during the Grey Cup week in Toronto.
"It means a lot. There's a lot of good players in the CFL and for me to be up for rookie-of-the-year is a real honour," said Matthews, in a telephone interview from his home in California.
Matthews started all 18 games for the Bombers at wide receiver. He led the team in the regular season with 81 receptions for 1,192 yards and seven touchdowns.
He was sixth overall in the CFL in receiving yards and his 14.7 yards per catch was the fourth best among receivers who caught over 60 passes. Matthews is the first Blue Bomber to represent the East Division for this award since defensive back Jonathan Hefney did so in 2009. The last Bomber to take home the top prize was defensive end Gavin Walls in 2005.
The East and West Player Award winners were selected by 70 voters, including members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) and CFL head coaches. The 2012 Gibson's Finest CFL Player Awards will be handed out on Nov. 22 at Koerner Hall in downtown Toronto.

A growth in revenue despite challenging economic conditions has seen utility owner Spark Infrastructure record a 12.8 per cent rise in regulated revenue for the 2012 fiscal year.
Spark Infrastructure reported regulated revenue of $1.6 billion for the 12 months to December, and a net profit of $173.9 million for the 2012 financial year.
It was a 4.1 per cent increase from the year before, achieved on the back of strong results from SA Power networks, and CitiPower and Powercor, the company said.
The utility owner declared a final dividend of 5.25 cents per share for the 2012 year.
''Despite a challenging business environment with soft electricity sales volumes, the asset companies have again demonstrated the strength and quality of their operations,'' Spark Infrastructure managing director Rick Francis said.
''The cashflows being generated by the asset companies are sufficient to simultaneously fund the substantial equity portion of their capital expenditure plans, to de-gear their balance sheets and to make distributions to their shareholders, without the need for any new equity before 2015.''
Shares were up 2.3 per cent to $1.677 in early trade.

Historically, the legislative class has often liked to keep it in the family. And while hereditary titles have fallen out of fashion in most modern democracies, political dynasties appear to be thriving nonetheless.
The latest scion of a political leader to seek office is Justin Trudeau, 41-year-old son of Canada's former prime minister, the swashbuckling Pierre Trudeau.
Justin was elected leader of Canada's Liberal party on Sunday.
The ruling Conservative party greeted the news of Trudeau Junior's victory somewhat sniffily, with Fred DeLorey, the Conservative party's director of communications, saying:
"Justin Trudeau may have a famous last name, but in a time of global economic uncertainty, he doesn't have the judgment or experience to be prime minister."
Perhaps mindful of that kind of criticism, Justin Trudeau was careful in his acceptance speech to mix confidence – "More than one hundred thousand voters have sent a clear message: Canadians want better leadership" – with modesty: "I take nothing for granted. I understand that trust can only be earned. And my plan is to earn yours."
The Trudeaus are of course part of a long tradition of North American political clans, from the Kennedys and the Clintons to presidents Bush I and II – despite America's Founding Fathers' concerns around the implications of power flowing through blood.
But it is in Asia where political dynasties have really flourished. In India, the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has provided three prime ministers since the country's Independence in 1947. Rahul Gandhi, 42-year-old great-grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, is tipped to be the Congress party's candidate for India's 2014 election. But the prospect of yet another Gandhi at the helm has met with criticism in some quarters.
"Essentially he has nothing besides his name," Ramachandra Guha, a historian, said when Gandhi was promoted to the role of the Congress party's vice president earlier this year. Read more

I am using BT5 in VirtualBox on my Win7 laptop, and would like to bridge/forward my wifi to my ethernet port (so my 2nd device works as if it is plugged directly into the router) and perform some tests using tcpdump, tc, etc. I need this to work within a VM rather than livebooting as I will be utilizing some Win7 features simultaneously.
Within my VM, I've tried using "brctl" to form a bridge (br0), but I lose internet connectivity every time I add eth0 to br0. I've also tried using iptables to forward eth0 to eth1 however I do not know that I am doing this correctly. This is what I have tried so far (separately):Code:Setup: [Win7 Laptop] | | [BT5 VM] | | [eth0]--[eth1] | | [WiFi] [Ethernet Port] | | [Internet] [Device 2]
Code:brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 ifconfig br0 upNeither example works. I am fairly new to linux but I am always trying to learn new things, how computers & networking works, etc, but I have never had the opportunity to go to school for this so I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Code:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

By David Grieg and Gordon McIntyre
Red Stitch Actors Theatre, St Kilda
Until December 15
MIDSUMMER is a traditional setting for romantic comedy. The ancient festival of the summer solstice, with its fairy dust and holiday high jinks, upends convention and breaks down social barriers so love might do its work more freely.
David Grieg and Gordon McIntyre update the mayhem to late 20th century Edinburgh, delivering a charming play with songs that charts an unusual (and unusually amusing) courtship between two jaded thirty-somethings.
Divorce lawyer Helena (Ella Caldwell) has seen enough blood on the floor to avoid sentimentality in the romantic sphere. When she picks up busker-turned-petty crim Bob (Ben Prendergast), she basically never wants to see him again. But fate has other ideas.
The rather unsatisfactory one-night stand leads to an improbable spree. Soon, the reluctant lovers are embarking on a wild and mortifying weekend, with weddings from hell, a cast of random goths, a chase subplot involving Scottish gangsters, and even a spot of Japanese rope bondage bringing them closer.
Midsummer employs playful and theatrical storytelling, with characterisation supplemented by overt role-playing, goofy pop songs on acoustic guitar, and ''he said, she said'' re-enactment that contrasts common male and female insecurities, pretensions and habits of mind. If you need to be purged of romantic cynicism, this is just the ticket.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2014 (1096 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Mayoral candidate Paula Havixbeck is calling for a moratorium of all city real estate deals until the completion of an RCMP review.
Havixbeck said today that all land deals should be put on hold pending the outcome of the review, singling out the proposed sale of the former Kenaston snow dump to the firm that is converting the Canada Post warehouse into the new police headquarters building.
Havixbeck said questions surround Caspian Construction and its involvement in the Smith Street police headquarters project, adding it's improper for Caspian's offer for the Kenaston property to be considered until the firm's involvement has been cleared by an RCMP investigation into the city's real estate deals.
"Winnipeggers expect us to get these decisions right, and we must act when all the information is available to us, rather than blindly signing off on mega-projects while police reviews are ongoing," Havixbeck said.
Caspian president Armik Babakhanians did not respond to an interview request.
The provincial government announced last week that the RCMP will review the findings of the three independent audits – the fire hall replacement program, the police headquarters project, and a third reviewing examining 33 real estate transactions over a five-year period – and other related material.
Questions had been raised over how Caspian, a small local construction firm, had been awarded the contract for the police headquarters project ahead of several national firms.
The Kenaston snow dump has been on the market since April. The offer period closed August 8. According to the email sent to Havixbeck, which she distributed to media, the bidders are eager to know which offer is being recommended. Havixbeck's endorsement was being sought as the property is in her ward.
The real estate division said it had received seven offers for the Kenaston property, with Caspian's bid of $5.2 million being the highest.
The email states Caspian is proposing a mixed development for the site but contained no information about what the other bidders had offered or their proposed development plans.
Havixbeck said she was presented with only limited information on Caspian's offer and no information about the other six bidders.
The email from the real estate division said there was an urgency to its request, as the department wanted her endorsement for inclusion in a report that has to be prepared by the end of the week.
"What this says to me is again, as a councillor, our council is held hostage – we have a gun to our heads in terms of coming up with approval when we have parts of information and other processes (the RCMP investigation) underway," Havixbeck said.
Havixbeck had originally called a noon hour news conference to talk about her proposals to improve the 311 system but she said she opted to put that issue to another day so she could expose the continuing questionable activities of the city's real estate staff.
Havixbeck said the real estate division was repeatedly identified in three independent audits as acting improperly.
"This department was named repeatedly for mismanagement," Havixbeck said, adding it appears that department officials have learned nothing from the findings and recommendations of the three audits.
Havixbeck said she would not disclose if she had any specific concerns with Caspian Construction, adding she remains concerned about the actions of the real estate division.
"There is nothing saying we need to rush a process and rush a deal," Havixbeck said.
In her email response to the real estate division, Havixbeck states she wants the sale put on hold.
"I recommend you put this process on hold until we know the findings (of the RCMP investigation) and whether the City has appropriately implemented the recommendations of the three audits insofar as land transactions are concerned," Havixbeck states in her email to the real estate division.
Havixbeck wrote to the division that she couldn't endorse the sale as the division had not presented her with all relevant information.
"I have not reviewed all of the other proposals or your process to know whether I agree with the recommendations (to accept Caspian's offer)," Havixbeck said. "Your timelines are not realistic to allow me the opportunity to review both processes and bidders."

COCOA, Fla. - The man sought in the fatal stabbing of an 81-year-old Cocoa woman turned himself in on Tuesday, according to Cocoa police.
Police said Marcus Antonio Royal, 33, walked into the Richmond, Virginia Police Department and handed his ID to the Chief of Police, saying that he was wanted in Florida for murder.
Royal was released from jail Saturday morning, returned to Cocoa Sunday morning and broke into the North Fiske Boulevard home of Faye Jones, 81, at 11:30 a.m. He then attacked her.
When someone went to pick Jones up for church, they believe he interrupted the crime in progress. Police said he, too, was attacked. Jones was found dead and police said her neighbor had to be airlifted to Holmes Regional Medical Center where he is in critical condition. Police said they believe Jones was a random victim.
Royal then stole Jones' 2010 Ford Fusion and dumped her personal items on the side of the road 10 miles away from her home.
Cocoa police officers are on their way to Virginia.
Royal had a nationwide extradition arrest warrant issued on him for first-degree felony murder, attempted first degree felony murder and burglary with battery.

Just felt like doing this.
I was going to weigh in on the pros and cons of Brad Richards, but we have two months and a week to do that ad infinitum. So on this night of Game 7s — neither of which was as sick as the Chicago-Vancouver Game 7, but both better than the Philly-Baby Buffaloes Game 7, some thoughts:
1) What a piece of carcillo Carcillo is. I'm glad Philly advanced because I won't be happy until he costs his team a playoff game, maybe a series.
2) Count how many times Jeremy Roenick says "unbelievable." What a peabrain. He also said "a-dismal" when he meant "abysmal" and said it again when the host asked him what he had said the first time.
3) Hey, those byfuglien guys at TSN stole my Monster thing. They picked a Monster of the game. That's mine. They stole it, the filthy bums. Anybody know a good lawyer? Make that a cheap lawyer.
4) Goodbye, Matt Cooke, you piece of carcillo. Goodbye, too, to the Skid Crosby updates. Thank God. Though I do feel for a couple of good guys in the Penguins front office and assistant coach Tony Granato. Still, the Penguins lead the league in cheap-shot artists. Bye.
5) Karma for the Lightnings. They showed character and professionalism in playing all-out in Game 82, which meant nothing to them, and got the Rangers in. More karma for the Lightnings. Just before the play0ffs, seven of them got their heads shaved to raise money for a couple of pediatric cancer charities. I hope they win the Cup.
6) Have you ever seen such a spate of hairballs coughed up by defensemen at crucial moments as have happened in the last two nights?
7) I like the TSN guy calling the "netting" the "screen." I've been thinking about that for a long time, since they put the nets up. Screen makes so much more sense, especially in a sport where, you know, there are already nets. And netting? What the heck is that? Something the cafeteria lady puts on her head?
8) Man, they have to get rid of that stupid hit-from-behind rule. Guys all turn now, looking to draw a penalty, and they put themselves in danger, and they make things tough on the officials. Get rid of it. If these guys know they're going to get drilled without a penalty, they won't turn. End of story.
9) How about this Roloson. I laughed when Tampa Bay traded for him, shortly after the Rangers' strafed him as an Islander. Good for him. I don't mind being proven wrong once in a while.
10) Good thing Skid Crosby was in the pressbox. He didn't have to shake hands. Oh, that's right, he doesn't shake hands.
11) I was mowing the lawn and killing dandelions and enjoying a day off yesterday. And wishing I was working at a Game 7.
12) How about Roman Hamrlik staying on the ice after being hit, while Boston was going down and scoring? Get the byfuglien up. I don't think the Block Ness Monster would have stayed down, or Brandon Prust.
13) Even though it was the TSN crew calling TB-Pitt, I would have been happy with any Versus crew after watching some of the game via the Pittsburgh homer feed on NHL Network. That was dreadful.
14) I'm not even going to comment on what an idiot Don Cherry is. … oh, wait, I just did.
15) Tail wagging the dog: Because of TV, the Rangers and Capitals played one game over five days, and Montreal and Boston had to play Games 6 and 7 on consecutive nights.
16) Also didn't mind seeing Scott the Clown Gomez and P.K. Slewfoot get sent home.
17) When do the Knicks play?

I'm not going to do this every night, but maybe I will once in a while during the playoffs. Just for fun.
Hope to tally up the first-round predictions contest soon. Maybe today if it's raining.
Do youse want to do another contest in this round? Same rules. Must be in by puck drop of Game 1 tonight.
Here are my picks:
Canucks over Predators in 6.
Sharks over Red Wings in 7.
Lightning over Capitals in 6.
Flyers over Bruins in 6.
Click "more" below for the rules.
CONTEST RULES: Post your series predictions in the comments on this thread. Please, for my sake, use this thread only for your predictions, don't make me scroll through other threads. I will put reminders in any and all new posts between now and gametime. Contest closes at 9 p.m. tonight, when the next round begins.
Here's how it works: Pick all four series, winner and number of games. Then give me tiebreakers: Score of the clinching game of the Flyers-Bruins series, GWG in the clinching game of the series, number of saves for Tim Thomas (or other Boston goalie) in the clinching game of the series.
The first tiebreaker after the number of correct series winners is determined, will be the number of correct series predicted with the exact number of games. Then we will go with score of Flyers-Bruins clinching game, GWG, and Boston goalie saves. OK? If any problems arise, the decision of the judges (me) will be final. Or I'll just award the title to Sally!
(Oh, one more little thing: Don't even dream about entering more than once. If I don't recognize a screen name, I will check IP addresses and I will send CCCP over to your house).

Trims Explained
When talking about cars, "trims" is a way of differentiating between different versions of the same model. Typically, most start with a no-frills, or "base" trim, and as features are added, or a different engine, drivetrain (gas vs. hybrid, for example) or transmission are included, trim names change and prices go up.
It's important to carefully check the trims of the car you're interested in to make sure that you're getting the features you want, or that you're not overpaying for features you don't want.

A CIRENCESTER nightclub has been left thousands of pounds out of pocket after a so-called Premier League Footballer turned out to be a con artist.
Reva Nightclub's VIP area has been extremely popular since the Bishop's Walk venue opened in December last year.
Yet the club has recently been the victim of several con artists, who ordered more than £3,500 worth of alcohol on fake credit cards.
"We regularly have celebrities spending up to £400 at Reva buying bottles of frozen vodka and champagne," said Dan. "So when we had a footballer's agent phone up wishing to pre-order £1,000 of drinks we were naturally excited."
Yet, unknown to the Reva staff at the time, the 'footballer' and his crew were all con artists. They visited the nightclub on seven occasions, partying with expensive drinks they had pre-ordered over the phone with fake credit cards.
"They were very convincing, they even turned up in a chauffeur driven car," added Dan. "They're definitely not local and they probably won't come back.
"The police were all ready to do a bust-up when they were going to come back but we haven't seen them."
Cirencester police officers are currently investigating the issue and are in the process of identifying members of the public whose cards have been used fraudulently.
Officers are also trying to find the owners of the mobile phones used to make the calls.
In its place before was The Rock, but when manager Dan Lafford saw the space come up for sale he snapped it up to create brand new nightclub Reva. He also is director of wine bar Seventeen Black on Castle Street.
Anyone with information is urged to call 101 quoting incident number 107 of June 17.
Meridian Leisure and Entertainment, the company which owns Reva nightclub and Seventeen Black wine bar, have had the payments reclaimed by the card companies.

Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9:48 a.m.
Gainesville police have released a sketch depicting a man with sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt as the attacker in the sexual assault and burglary Monday of a University of Florida student.
Officer Ben Tobias said the sketch was made with information from the victim, who was sexually assaulted at gunpoint.
Tobias said Thursday morning that detectives continue to investigate the case and hope that the sketch will create new leads.
The man assaulted the student in her home in the 400 block of Southwest 10th Street just after 4:30 a.m. Monday, according to a Gainesville Police Department report.
Police believe the man entered the home through an unlocked rear door. He took two MacBook Pro laptops, an iPhone and other personal items before leaving.
A nearby resident saw a man fitting the attacker's description walking west on Southwest Seventh Avenue. Officers searched the area but couldn't find the man.
He was described as a thin, 6-foot-tall black man wearing a gray sweatshirt, black "skinny" jeans and black wrap-around sunglasses.
GPD said the man should be considered armed and dangerous. Officers are urging anyone who can help identify the man to call detectives at 393-7670 or provide an anonymous tip by texting keyword "GPDFL" plus the tip to 274637 (CRIMES).

Light up the park.
From jibbing in the streets to spinning through the park, the Burton Blunt Snowboard accelerates your freestyle progression with its effortless flex and rocker-dominant profile. It's a twin-shaped freestyle board, lending harmonious balance for riding both regular and switch. Scooped tip and tail shapes prevent hang-ups when you're pressing it out and stomping landings in the park.
Burton's Flying V profile brings a loose, catch-free feel to your freestyle riding, ensuring you don't catch unexpectedly when you're tracking into jumps, linking turns, and landing tricks. Flying V places a generous rocker between the feet, transitioning to camber under each binding, then goes back to rocker at the tips. Rocker zones enhance playfulness for buttering, jibbing, and playing around the park. Camber directly underfoot locks into turns and pops with energetic response, allowing you to boost off kickers and carve down the mountain.
Milled out for easier board manipulation, Squeezebox Low core profiling gives you unreal board control when you're working on technical tricks and linking turns down the mountain. Frostbite edges extend slightly along the binding zones, allowing you to carve in variable conditions without slipping out. There's also a Super Fly core that's comprised of dual-density wood for proven durability when you're thrashing it on a regular basis.

Women's Lacrosse to become 17th Sport at Saint Leo University
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo Director of Athletics Francis X. Reidy has announced that women's lacrosse will make its debut as the 17th NCAA-sponsored sport at Saint Leo University. In addition, Reidy also announced that Lesley Graham has been selected as the program's first head coach as she will begin building for its first competitive season in 2011-12.
Coming to Saint Leo from her previous position at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, Pa., Graham proved to be a great fit into Saint Leo, with prior experience in both Division II and at other Catholic universities, including Canisus College in New York.
"Lesley's experience at two Catholic institutions allowed her to easily grasp our ideals and philosophies, and she was able to articulate a vision for our newest program which aligned with our values," said Reidy.
Making the transition to Florida and tasked with building a program from the ground floor, Graham is no stranger to developing young teams as she took an inexperienced Griffin's squad to six wins and two all-conference selections in her only year at the helm of Chestnut Hill.
"I am extremely excited for the opportunity to start the women's lacrosse program at Saint Leo," said an excited Graham. "I am looking forward to building upon the great foundation of athletic excellence already established. The sport of women's lacrosse is growing tremendously, especially in the south, and it is an honor to be able to spread my passion for the sport and knowledge of the game within the Saint Leo community."
Marking the first new program at Saint Leo since the addition of men's lacrosse in 2006, women's lacrosse becomes the 17th NCAA-sponsored sport at Saint Leo University and the ninth sport added to the Lions' stable in the new millennium. It also marks the ninth women's program at the institution.
In an effort to build the program on the right foot, Reidy conducted an extensive nationwide search for a candidate he felt would fit within the Core Values the university holds, all while establishing a new, emerging sport into the Saint Leo stable. In Graham, he felt as if she was the perfect fit.
"Coach Graham has a passion for her sport and its development which will attract outstanding student-athletes to this new program right from the start. We are excited to have her bring her energy, drive and talents to our campus."
In addition to her season at Chestnut Hill, Graham also served as a former Division I assistant coach at Canisius College from 2007-09. She also carries experience from high levels of competition as a student-athlete at Ithaca College and holds a master's degree in sports administration from Canisius and a bachelor's degree in journalism with a minor in history from Ithaca College.
Reidy continued, "Lesley is a great fit with our current staff, and I am confident she will have a positive impact on and off the field for entire university in helping us achieve our athletic ideals and university mission."
As the 58th women's lacrosse program at the NCAA Division II level, the Lions will join Rollins College as just the second D2 program in Florida to sponsor the sport. Graham will begin the task of building the team immediately, with plans to have the program begin practice in the fall of 2011.
"I want to thank Mr. Reidy for having the confidence in me to nurture and develop the women's lacrosse program from the ground up," quoted Graham. "I believe the values, community and culture of Saint Leo strongly aid my vision to bring this university to the forefront of women's lacrosse. I look forward to the challenge."
The challenge for Lesley Graham and the Saint Leo women's lacrosse team will begin in February, 2012.

I generally like my barbecue to have a definite smoky taste and a lot of places don't have quite enough for me, but Fat Jack's in Monona, Wisconsin does and my wife and I ate there the Tuesday before Christmas.
For at least 20 years Tuesdays and Thursdays have been nights for all-you-can-eat chicken and spare ribs. The price now is $11.95 and when I first moved up here I think it was either $8.95 or $9.95...still an outstanding deal IMO. Then again, maybe if they charged a little more they could fix the sign. Am I the only person that thinks "Jack" bears a resemblance to our own Bob-BQN?:lol:
There are booths and tables, lots of natural wood, and plenty of Wisconsin-related memorabilia. Too bad those aren't current prices!
Potato wedges, beans, and coleslaw round out the order. Years ago this was just the beginning for me...nowadays I can't even get through the initial serving. Doggie bags are OK for the first plate but not on reorders, which is a very smart policy.
That pink meat means it's undercooked, right?:wink:
My wife ordered the regular back rib dinner. FJ's serves back ribs with a sweeter sauce while the spare ribs have a citrus glaze and are dry and crusty in comparison. Personally, I prefer the spares by a long shot...I think I've ordered the backs maybe once over the years.
I'm sure that some form of cold tea is on the menu but I need a beer with barbecue, and Sprecher Black Bavarian is one of my favorites.
Sometimes the chicken can be a little dry but this night it was just fine. I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad meal at Fat Jack's although some have been better than others.

Rioli accuses code of being out of touch with indigenous playersJake Niall
Published: December 14 2012 - 3:00AM
Prominent indigenous footballer Dean Rioli has challenged the AFL to venture out of ''corporate'' Melbourne and consult more with indigenous football people at the grassroots level.
Rioli, a talented former Essendon player and leading spokesman for indigenous players, said the AFL could not get a true handle on the challenges for indigenous players and the increasingly ''disappointing'' perceptions of Aboriginal footballers if they did not spent more time consulting with those at the coalface.
''Go and see those working with the kids at the grassroots level,'' Rioli said. ''They need to consult more.''
Rioli, from one of the game's most decorated indigenous and Northern Territory families, said he had spoken in the past 24 hours to half a dozen people in Victoria, the NT and South Australia who worked with young indigenous talent and found they had received scant contact from the AFL. ''These guys haven't been spoken to,'' he said.
Rioli was responding to the decline in the proportion of indigenous footballers from 11 per cent to 9 per cent after the national draft and rookie draft and what he saw as a more challenging climate for indigenous footballers in the AFL. ''We're only going backwards, that's the reality,'' he said.
Rioli said it did not have to be the AFL's main indigenous administrator, Jason Mifsud - who was been criticised by Rioli this season - or his team that went out to those communities, but the AFL needed closer contact.
Club officials have raised the possibility of a scholarship-type program in which indigenous youngsters, perhaps those overlooked in the draft, could be added to rookie lists in the same way as the Irish players. The argument is that this would give clubs more incentive to pursue Aboriginal kids from heavily disadvantaged backgrounds, especially in remote areas.
But Rioli said such a scheme could be considered for indigenous players in remote areas - such as former Demon Liam Jurrah and Hawthorn's Amos Frank - but not for those who played in the WAFL or SANFL. He said this might work for the players from remote places but ''not so much the urban kids'' who did not deserve preferential treatment.
Rioli's comments coincide with an AFL push to improve the situation for young indigenous players, with the AFL set to discuss Aboriginal pathways - and how to improve them - at a meeting of officials, including Mifsud and AIS-AFL Academy coaches and noted former indigenous players Michael O'Loughlin, Chris Johnson and Xavier Clarke.
Some AFL club recruiters argue the young Aboriginal players should not necessarily be pushed into those elite squads in their mid-teens; that rather, they should remain with their clubs and allowed to develop, as Lewis Jetta did (with Swan Districts) before he was drafted by Sydney. Rioli saw himself in a similar position to Jetta, having played three seasons in the WAFL before he was drafted by Essendon.

Resolution rises to become banner spec for oscilloscopes
Since its invention in the 1980s, the digital oscilloscope represented a more modern approach to the visualization of waveforms compared with the analog instruments it replaced. Analog oscilloscopes displayed waveforms directly, but digital oscilloscopes use high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to sample the analog input signal and convert the signal amplitude at each sampled point into digital values. The digital amplitude values are subsequently reconstructed to represent the input signal for display.
Why did oscilloscope makers abandon the simplicity of analog for the complexity of digital processing? The one-word answer is flexibility. Once the analog input signal is converted into digital form, it's ripe for post-processing and analysis that analog instruments could never accomplish. Signal parameters including frequency, amplitude, period, rise/fall times, peak-to-peak voltages, phase differences, slew rates, and many others can be measured and displayed in real time. Not only that, but large amounts of digital memory enable modern oscilloscopes to save, manipulate, and recreate real-world waveforms.
The digital revolution in oscilloscopes brought new and different ways to evaluate the instruments. Heading the list of banner specifications is bandwidth, or the frequency range over which the oscilloscope makes reliably accurate measurements. An oscilloscope's sampling rate tells you how many samples per second the ADC can acquire and store in memory. Faster sampling rates mean that the instrument can display, and base its measurements on, finer detail when acquiring high-speed signals. A third banner specification, record length, indicates how many waveform points an oscilloscope can acquire for a single waveform record.
Resolution: The new banner spec
Yet, one key specification has been consistently overlooked in the digital age: ADC resolution. The ADC's resolution determines the fidelity with which it digitizes and reproduces signals on-screen. The oscilloscope parameter most improved by ADCs with greater resolution is the instrument's vertical precision.
Early digital oscilloscopes were equipped with 6-bit ADCs. ADCs have resolution of 2n bits, which, in the case of the 6-bit ADC translates into 26 bits, or 64 vertical quantization levels. Soon thereafter, oscilloscopes with 8-bit ADCs delivered 28 bits of resolution, which means 256 vertical quantization levels and a 4X improvement in vertical precision. But since then, all oscilloscopes have employed 8-bit ADCs. Yes, sampling rates have risen, which enables faster real-time signal acquisition. But the vertical resolution and precision have not fundamentally changed.
8-bit compromises
There are some techniques oscilloscope makers use to increase vertical resolution in 8-bit oscilloscopes, one being averaging of the values of each sampling point from multiple acquisitions. This averages out uncorrelated noise, yielding higher effective vertical precision. However, this approach only works with repetitive waveforms, rendering it semi-useful at best.
A more broadly applicable means of boosting vertical precision is known as "enhanced-resolution" or "high-resolution" mode. This technique involves filtering that uses adjacent acquisition samples to mathematically generate a display with higher vertical resolution. But this technique forces a bandwidth trade-off against the extra vertical resolution. The end result is a reduction of the -3dB bandwidth.
HD4096 technology
Eschewing these techniques, Teledyne LeCroy has redesigned the underlying hardware architecture in its oscilloscopes to achieve 12-bit resolution and 4096 levels of vertical quantization. In its HD4096 High Definition technology, Teledyne LeCroy combines high-sample-rate 12-bit ADCs with high signal-to-noise ratio amplifiers and low-noise system architecture to deliver 16 times more vertical resolution than any 8-bit oscilloscope.
HD4096 High Definition technology is available in a new family of oscilloscopes called High Definition Oscilloscopes or HDOs. The HDOs natively achieve high resolution, resulting in clean, sharp waveforms that present far greater signal detail. The increased vertical resolution not only provides a better-looking waveform display, but also much more accurate measurements. Because HD4096 technology achieves true 12-bit resolution through hardware improvements and not through averaging or filtering, users of the HDO oscilloscopes may capture and display signals at the instrument's full sampling rate (which, in the case of the HDOs, is up to 2.5 Gsamples/s at bandwidths up to 1 GHz).
HD4096 technology represents a new approach to oscilloscope design that required rethinking of the instruments' signal-acquisition system. The theoretical dynamic range of an 8-bit oscilloscope is approximately 48 dB (6 dB/bit); for a 12-bit oscilloscope, it's approximately 72 dB. However, in actual practice, the front-end amplifiers and signal paths in the best 8-bit oscilloscopes only reach a signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio in the range of -35 to -40 dB. Simply swapping out an 8-bit ADC and replacing it with a 12-bit device alone would not change that SNR. But the use of new, lower-noise technology in the front-end amplifiers and signal paths, HD4096 technology achieves a 15-dB improvement in SNR over 8-bit architectures to reach an SNR of -55 dB.
To achieve the lower noise in the HDO oscilloscopes, Teledyne LeCroy has designed a custom IC for the front end. But that isn't the only consideration to maximize signal fidelity. Particular care has been taken in power supply design to minimize that perennial source of noise. In addition, routing of critical signal paths within the instruments is done so that as little system noise as possible is coupled into them. Crosstalk is further reduced by using one ADC per channel rather than sharing one ADC chip across two channels.
Another area of improvement in the HDO oscilloscopes is DC gain accuracy. The HDOs include a DC reference circuit that is as stable over temperature variations and operating conditions as possible. This ensures the best possible DC measurement accuracy. The key in this regard was designing for low temperature drift, achieved through careful application of resistors with low temperature coefficients and by paying close attention to components in the DC amplifier chain. Not only do the HDOs provide low drift and high accuracy, but they also deliver a high offset range.
Thanks to the development of HD4096 technology, vertical display and measurement precision in digital oscilloscopes has taken a huge leap forward. It's also paved the way for resolution to take its rightful place in the pantheon of banner specifications for oscilloscopes in years to come.

A man accused of murdering his lover before folding her corpse into a suitcase "falsified" parts of his evidence "to get away with murder", a jury has been told.
Laszlo Gyarmati, 29, pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denies murdering 25-year-old Alexandra Kovacs during an argument at her home in Lee Road, Mill Hill, last July.
In his closing speech for the prosecution, Jonathan Rees QC, told the Central Criminal Court that Mr Gyarmati had shown himself "capable of lying to save his own skin" before cautioning the jury to scrutinise his account before adding weight to it.
Mr Rees said: "At the very least because of the absence of witnesses, he has the opportunity to put his own spin on things to put himself in the most advantageous light."
The court previously heard Mr Gyarmati lied to police about killing Miss Kovacs, saying she was alive when he left her home in the early hours of Thursday, July 18.
He later admitted to killing Miss Kovacs following an argument, and told the court he put her body in a suitcase before leaving it in Dollis Valley Greenwalk.
Mr Gyarmati told the court he put his hand over Miss Kovacs's mouth to get her to be quiet during their disagreement, and that when he removed his hand she "shrieked for help".
But Mr Rees suggested the 29-year-old had attempted "to pull the wool over" the jury's eyes.
He said: "She cried out for help suggesting that she realised or thought that she was in danger from this assault and this was more than just horse play, or play fighting.
"This cry for help suggested a far more serious assault than simply a hand over her mouth.
"We suggest the violence he inflicted on her was rather more overwhelming than he's prepared to admit."
Mr Rees went on to claim Mr Gyarmati and Miss Kovacs's argument about arranging sham marriages was "pretty childish" and that Mr Gyarmati "could have ignored her" or "simply left the room" instead of using violence.
The prosecution suggested Mr Gyarmati deliberately strangled Miss Kovacs and he did not call for help because he "wanted to keep it a secret".
Mr Rees also added that "if this was an accident there is no way he would have fallen asleep" next to the dead corpse of his lover and then, having woken up, dumped her body in a suitcase.
Summing up, Mr Rees said: "He has falsified his account in order to get away with murder."
But Mr Gyarmati's defence barrister, Joel Bennathan QC, suggested a "rational explanation", that the defendant was "panicked" and "shocked".
He added: "There's absolutely no useful purpose of moving the body from the flat. It was a nonsensical, panicked reaction."
He went on to suggest that once Mr Gyarmati realised the consequences of his actions, he lied to the police.
Mr Bennathan will conclude his closing speech this afternoon.
The trial continues.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The suspect in the case of a missing University of Florida student was denied bond by an Alachua County judge Saturday morning. Pedro Bravo was in court for the second time in less than a week.
Gainesville police charged 18-year-old Bravo with Christian Aguilar's murder on Friday. Bravo had been arrested earlier in the week for depriving a victim of medical treatment.
Detectives told Channel 4 that they had enough cause to charge Bravo with murder because his statements about beating the teen were enough to assume Aguilar was dead.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott said he is planning to help search for the missing 18-year-old.
Scott will join the massive search for Aguilar on Saturday afternoon, combing through wooded fields and parking lots. Authorities indicated Aguilar may have been buried near a lime rock roadway.
Police said Aguilar was last seen Sept. 20 at a Gainesville Best Buy store with Bravo. Police believe they may have been fighting over a girl.
A devastated and inconsolable Carlos Aguilar said he can't wrap his mind around what is now the murder case involving his son, 18-year-old Christian.
"I don't have any more tears right now, but the pain is in my chest," he said. "I still feel my son is still alive in my heart..."
Earlier Friday, police were asking for the public's help in determining where Bravo was over a 17-hour period, the time-frame Aguilar went missing. Investigators said they could not account for Bravo's whereabouts from 3 p.m. Sept. 20 to 8 a.m. Sept. 21.
Police said Bravo was at Best Buy at 3 p.m. Sept. 20, as seen on surveillance video with Aguilar, his childhood friend. Aguilar hasn't been seen since. Investigators said they also know where Bravo was in Gainesville at 8 a.m. the next day, but they didn't know where he was for the time in between.
Police released photos Friday of Bravo's 2004 Chevrolet Blazer (pictured below). They noted the different front right wheel and tire, saying it is hopefully unique enough that someone remembers seeing the vehicle sometime within that time window.
Investigators were also asking for all business owners to check their outside surveillance video to see if that vehicle was seen on video. Police said they've reviewed a lot of video from Gainesville, but they were seeking areas outside of Gainesville due to the time window being so large.
They are encouraging property owners, residential or business, who may have lime rock roads on their property that are accessible to the general public to search those properties for any suspicious areas of ground that appear to have been disturbed.
"We had figured out some sort of a timeline for Christian on the last day he was seen. Now we're kind of switching gears to Pedro's timeline to figure out exactly where he was and see if we can kind of plug in some holes there," Gainesville police spokesman Ben Tobias said Friday morning.
Anyone who may have captured the SUV on video is asked to call police at 352-393-7670.
Former classmates of both Bravo and Aguilar at Doral Academy Preparatory High School said they were raising money to help with the search. Organizations, including cheerleaders, have raised money to help Aguilar's family cover the expense of searching for him in Gainesville. Rodriguez said students have raised more than $12,000.
Aguilar's younger brother, Alexander, was looking through a scrapbook his family found in Christian's dorm room Friday morning that he was putting together with drawings and photos as a gift to his parents for their anniversary.
"They had no idea he was working on this. He kept it a surprise but he was always saying to me, 'Do you think they would like this?'" he said.
Investigators said earlier this week that Bravo bought a shovel and duct tape several days before Aguilar went missing.
Bravo was in the Alachua County jail on a charge of depriving a victim of medical care when police filed the murder charge.
Carlos Aguilar, Christian's father, said he had been in contact with Bravo's father until Thursday, but he said Bravo's father is no longer answering or returning his calls.
Carlos Aguilar said his family was going to the jail Friday to try to talk to Bravo themselves. They tried to Thursday, but Bravo denied visitation.
"I don't think it's fair that a person is missing and the only person with information to find him is protected by the Fifth Amendment," Carlos said. "That's ridiculous. We need to be able to have the authorities talk to people like that."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/4/2013 (1578 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You cannot understand the Chechens without understanding the mountains. The mountains created them as surely as the cold Atlantic created the Britons, or the frontier created the Americans.
The mountains were, for millennia, effectively impassable. Armies could go around the eastern end, through Azerbaijan and Dagestan on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Or they could pick their way along the Black Sea Coast, providing their horses and infantry did not mind getting their feet wet.
Between the two seas, however, was the rampart of the Caucasus, the highest range in Europe, which could only be crossed on foot and even then often only in summer. South of the mountains was the majesty of the ancient world: Byzantium, Persia, Alexander the Great, Assyrians, Medes and the rest of them.
There were empires south of the mountains, but north of the mountains the peoples had no need to unite to resist invaders. Villages ruled themselves, acknowledged no overlord, robbed each other and traded, safely protected from conquest by the peaks at their backs.
Or, they were -- until the Russians came.
Expanding southwards, first in a few exploratory missions under Peter the Great and then in force under Catherine the Great, the Russians fought all before them: the Nogais of the steppes, the last free descendants of Genghis Khan; the Tatars of Crimea; and finally the Chechens, and the other peoples of the Caucasus.
The clash between the armies of the autocratic, centralized, militaristic Russian state with the horsemen of the anarchic, freebooting Caucasus, who were too disorganized to trouble anyone more than a day or two's ride away, was the biggest culture clash in European history. The Russians won the first engagements, but the Chechens' response was not long in coming.
"In the village of Aldy a prophet has appeared and started to preach. He has submitted superstitious and ignorant people to his will by claiming to have had a revelation," wrote a Russian major general in 1785.
The Russians marched on Aldy, and destroyed it, but the prophet -- a man called Ushurma but now known as Sheikh Mansur -- was lying in wait. Half the Russian force of 3,000 died in an ambush on their way home, and Mansur became a hero for the Muslims of Chechnya and neighbouring Dagestan.
Mansur did not last. After a few victories, he fled, was captured and died of tuberculosis in a fortress near Saint Petersburg. But he was the first manifestation of the Russians' great enemy in the Caucasus -- the welding of Islam with nationalism into a single potent combination.
Over most of the next century, religious leaders led the highlanders of Chechnya and Dagestan in opposition to the Russians. Their resistance was heroic but it was, ultimately, doomed. They were, after all, fighting against Russia, the power that defeated Napoleon. As Imam Shamil, the highlanders' last leader, is said to have remarked when he was being taken to see the tsar after his surrender in 1859: "If I had known Russia was so big, I would never have fought against it."
Shamil, a Dagestani, was brutally frank about the Chechens, who would fight for him but refused to obey him in any other way, as they have refused to obey rulers, either foreign or their own, to the present day.
"There is nothing worse than this trash in the whole world. The Russians should say thank you to me that I corrected them a little. Without this, you would have only one way to deal with them: shoot them to the last man, as is done with harmful animals," Shamil told his Russian guard, according to the guard's diaries.
The Russians took him at his word. Although, the Chechens lived on in their homeland, they lived as a defeated nation, their best land given to Cossacks and their culture never given a chance to develop. When the tsarist government fell, it had done almost nothing to transform the anarchic highlanders into model Russian peasants and, after 1917, the new communists promised to help them find enlightenment in the modern state they would create.
"These people were doomed to incredible suffering and extinction," one official, the commissar for nationalities, told the Party Congress in 1921. He knew of what he spoke, because he was from the Caucasus himself. His name was Josef Djugashvili, though he is better known today as Stalin.
Hidden within his promise was a mistaken assumption, however, which was that the Chechens actually wanted to live as full Soviet citizens, which they didn't. "Bandits" continued to haunt the mountains. Some 35,000 Chechens were purged in 1931, and another 14,000 six years later. Still, the Chechens would not submit and, by 1944, Stalin had come to the same conclusion as Imam Shamil: The Chechens should be wiped out.
On Feb. 23 -- a holiday in the Soviet Union, on which citizens honoured the soldiers of the Red Army -- troops moved in, rounded the nation up, packed it onto trains and shipped it to Central Asia. Thirty-five percent of the deportees died, either in the packed cattle cars or on the freezing steppes when they arrived in the depths of the cold Kazakhstan winter.
This is the defining moment in Chechens' modern history, when they were wrenched away from their mountains and dumped like rubbish in an unfriendly land with a flat horizon. Even the Russian government has recognized this was a genocide, and yet few Russians today appreciate the trauma it caused. Everyone lost someone and, when they were allowed home beginning in 1959, many of those bodies came home to Chechnya with them, to be buried in the mountains, not in the foreign steppes.
They were kept together by their faith, by their Sufi Islam with its closed brotherhoods and secret rituals. The generation that grew up in Kazakhstan nursed a seed of grievance. That seed grew in the fertile soil of Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika, and flowered into a declaration of independence in the dying days of the Soviet Union.
Of Boris Yeltsin's many disastrous decisions, few were as terrible as the idea that a quick war against the rebellious Chechens would help boost the new Russian president's flagging poll numbers toward the end of 1994.
He sent in the tanks, thus uniting a nation that was sinking into in-fighting. He ordered the tanks out again two years later. Moscow's mighty army was defeated in the streets of Grozny by Chechen irregulars, and the superpower's impotence was laid bare for all to see.
But these were the Chechens, ungovernable even by their own, even by Aslan Maskhadov, the man who had led them to their unlikely victory over a country with more people in uniform than there are Chechens.
Without an external enemy to unite them and, no doubt, aided by trained provocateurs sent by Moscow, they fell into squabbling among Islamists, mafia gangs, secular nationalists and ordinary Chechens who just wanted to get on with things.
In 1999, the Chechens invaded Dagestan, supposedly to aid allies there, and a new Russian leader decided Moscow had had enough. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was making none of Yeltsin's mistakes, however. He had no intention of fighting among the tower blocks of Grozny. His artillery flattened the Chechens' capital block by block, driving his opponents into the open, where they died on mines or explosions or in extrajudicial executions.
International sympathy drained away over the succeeding years as Chechen insurgents resorted to the most terrible of atrocities in attempts to force Russia to the negotiating table: seizing a theatre in Moscow, a school in Beslan, and blowing up trains, buses and planes. None of it worked. Moscow's grip tightened and thousands of Chechens fled forever, forming diaspora communities in Western Europe, the Gulf and the Middle East.
And that is how the Tsarnaev brothers ended up -- via Dagestan and Kyrgyzstan -- in Boston, ungovernable men of the mountains, warlike, disorientated, come to fight a pointless and unjustified fight thousands of miles from the mountains they once called home.

When is 6.1.3 due to release? And if you have your SHSH blobs saved for the i4 can we downgrade within iOS 6 or has that changed? I'm getting my iPhone 5 next week (ordering it Friday March 1) so I hope it doesn't release before then because with my luck ill get one with 6.1.3 on it.
Aren't jailbreaks based on bugs in iOS? And isn't it logical for apple to fix bugs in iOS, even if it doesn't add new features?
It's unfortunate for the jailbreak, but nothing to fault apple with...
Actually never mind, I see the S IV is being unveiled 3-14 and the only reason I haven't moved over to the the S3 or Note 2 is the screen resolution, I bet the S4 will change that. Bye bye iPhone. All these updates and jumping through F***ing hoops to do what you want with a device that nearly costs $1000 is BS! The S4 is going smack Apple like the hoe they are. WOW! I can't believe how bitter I've gotten towards Apple. I used to be gung ho Apple supporter. You can only bite into a rotten apple so many times.
Apple cares about security. Having a bad rep for security is worse than having a bad rep for features. Yes jail breaking makes you iOS more vulnerable. The average user probably shouldn't jailbreak their phone. I like to jailbreak. But I have grandparents who have iPhones, who are average users, that I would never let jailbreak their devices. Plus, in the enterprise world. Security is HUGE!!!!!! Enterprise is all about security.
You see, if we gave up on jailbreaks, they would just release all the cool stuff on the app store...we would get bored with Apple iDevices and eventually move on to the next greatest thing. Apple is VERY SMART and really understands the consumer; they understand that as long as they make us believe that they don't want us doing this, we'll keep waiting for the jailbreaks like a dog waiting for the scraps off the food table.
Kinda like your wife allowing you to do all the things you want to do...what the heck fun would that be?
its funny how when there is a jaibreak for the iPhone Apple somehow comes up with a Firmware update to Fix the quote on quote "Flaws" I wonder if Apple realizes that most people in the Jail breaking community already can see this and hence don't update their firmware because they know its just a tool to break their jail break to keep their iPhones stock so that you'll have to buy the next Gen iPhone. Same goes for android users who root their phones. If I buy it's mine & should have the right to what every I want to do It.
Top 5k site in the US, well respected iPhone blog, default Cydia repo for newly jailbroken iDevices...and editors here don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

Getting Started with Medical Devices
When starting in the field of medical devices, you need a strong background in biology and the biological sciences. A post graduate degree in some field of engineering, like chemical engineering, can be very useful. Medical devices is a field where creative people invent and develop products for use in the medical sciences.
The medical device field has a broad range of products, including coronary artery stents, orthopedic devices, dental products, surgical products and bone transplantation products. Some of the larger companies create a variety of medical products. Smaller companies may make only one or two products. You can work at a company that doesn't manufacture any products, but has a heavy research dynamic. Working in medical devices usually means working in private industry. The only governmental jobs available for medical devices are jobs at the US Patent Office, where you review products for their uniqueness and feasibility, and the FDA, which approves the safety of the products.
Corporations that make Medical Devices
- Covidien. Covidien provides medical devices to a hospitals, clinics, home care and long term care facilities. They identify clinical medical needs and provide products and services in areas like contrast media, electrosurgery, surgical stapling, laparoscopic instrumentation and pulse oximetry. Two of its leading products are Autosuture and Kendall. They have a total of 42,000 employees in sixty countries, and focus on growth, leveraging their global culture, innovation and portfolio management.
- Boston Scientific. Boston Scientific has created breakthrough medical devices and products for more than thirty years. Its focus is on non-invasive medicine, and it has about 25,000 employees and 17 medical manufacturing facilities throughout the world. It has a total of 15,717 outstanding patents worldwide. It runs clinical studies designed to create medical products and has awarded more than 85 community grants and 100 medical fellowships in 2009 alone.
- Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson makes medical devices and products for the hospital, operating room and laboratories. Their products include hip replacement, coronary artery stents and tests for those who have headaches, breast cancer or diabetes. They have both a medical device and pharmaceutical division.
- Thermo Fisher Scientific. Thermo Fisher has several divisions, including a healthcare division. Key products include rapid screening tests, especially for flu viruses, and clinical healthcare products. This company has an active research and development department that creates new products for laboratory and hospital use.
- Medtronic. Medtronic makes medical devices for chronic diseases. They have several different areas of medical expertise, including cardiac rhythm disease management (pacemakers primarily), spinal and biologics, cardiovascular, neuromodulation, diabetic devices and surgical devices. They have an international division. Their work in heart rhythm control dates back to the creation of the first pacemaker in 1957. Among other products, they make implantable defibrillators.
- Baxter International. In the area of medical devices, Baxter International provides solutions for drug delivery systems for hospitals all over the world. For those with renal conditions, this company is one of the leading corporations for home and in-hospital dialysis equipment. It has an active research department that strives to develop new products for multiple medical areas of expertise.
- Stryker. This company specializes in medical equipment for emergency departments and EMS systems, including evacuation equipment, and emergency cots. There are also product categories in the area of orthopedics, pain management, spinal medicine, trauma medicine and operating room equipment. There are job opportunities in the areas of intellectual property and technology, among others.
There are a number of smaller companies out there. There are small companies all over the country and the world that make one or two products and are looking for someone in research and development to maximize the products they've got or to create new products. You need to search the web for these corporations or work with a recruiter.
Job Titles
You can have a number of different job titles working in companies that create and manufacture medical devices. You could work in sales at any one of the above corporations, where you would sell the company's products worldwide. You could be a project manager in a research and development team or a scientist in research and development. You could also be a product developer in areas of new product development. Some job titles include "product developer" or "program manager in medical products". Investigative manager is another job title you could aspire to. As a postgraduate in Engineering and Biology, you will be in the best position to get the choice jobs in the research and development of new products.
Resources for Finding Jobs in Medical Products
Many of the large corporations have career opportunities on their websites. Some of the smaller corporations have career opportunities posted on their sites. You can check out the Medical Device sections of large job boards like Career Builder or the smaller career sites dedicated to careers in the biomedical sciences.
What does it take to do jobs in these areas?
Much of your skill set depends on what kind of job you are interested in. If you are working in research and development, you may need bench skills and strong engineering skills. You may manage a team of people all working on the same problem or project so that you need some communication skills and the ability to lead a team. You need skills in strategy because you will be creatively coming up with new product ideas. Travel is possible if you are working on a bicoastal product or working with a group in another country.
If you will be working in the area of sales, you will need strong communication and "people skills" and should be prepared to travel a lot. Work in sales implies you know the product very well and have the written and spoken skills to get that across to other people.
Is this very competitive?
There is a lot of money to be made in the field of new medical products, so the competition is fierce. The thing you have as your advantage is to be well trained in engineering, medicine and/or biology. Make sure your coursework involves these areas before expecting to make top dollar in the field of medical products. You can always invent a product as a post graduate and can bring your idea to a company to see if they'll hire you and your idea at the same time.
What is the pay like?
Much of the pay depends on where you work. If you work in sales, your pay can be about $50,000. If you are hired as a higher up in research and development of medical products, your pay can be more than $100,000.

HOUSTON - A controversial email urged Houstonians to vote gays and lesbians, and those who support them, out of office when they head to the polls Tuesday.
The email was sent by a group called Godfather Politics and titled, "Homosexuals Battle For Control Of Houston."
The email tries to appeal to parents with children. A paragraph states, "Young people are influenced by these very visible role models. They will think it's OK to experiment sexually. The mayor is a homosexual."
"It's just people out there trying to denigrate our community because they can," said Noel Freeman, the president of Houston's GLBT Caucus. "It's completely ridiculous that these folks think Houston voters are so stupid as to believe this. I think it's shameful that they think this is the kind of rhetoric that can win an election and influence public opinions."
The email also lists all of the candidates supported by the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

DUE WEST, SC – Visiting Saint Leo University (7-5) sprinted out to a 9-0 halftime lead as the Lions defeated the Erskine Flying Fleet (5-9) 13-2 in non-conference women's lacrosse action at Huggins Field.
Host Erskine struggled to get the ball past the Lions' goalkeeper Brittany Millsap as she was solid in goal. Millsap recorded 11 saves on 14 shots, yielding just two goals. Millsap held a shutout for nearly the entire game, with Erskine recording their first goal with just five minutes left in the game.
Helping record the program's seventh win, Saint Leo was led by Alix Murray and Joanna Chadwick as each tallied three goals and an assist.
The highlight for Erskine was goalkeeper Konstandena Brown as she faced 23 shots, surrendering 13 goals while saving eight attempts.
The Lions will continue their trip through South Carolina as they face Newberry on Saturday. The game against the Wolves is scheduled to get underway at 2:00 p.m.
