Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/2/2014 (1283 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Improvements to three intersections along the Trans-Canada Highway in Headingley and paving work in the RMs of St. Francois Xavier and Cartier are on Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation's schedule for the next five years.
On Feb. 10, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Steve Ashton announced highway projects totalling $213 million which are expected to generate the equivalent of one year's work for 2,400 people.
While much of the resurfacing work due to begin this summer will be done on the highway west of Portage la Prairie to the Saskatchewan border, drivers travelling through Headingley will see work underway at the lighted intersection at John Blumberg Golf Course. This work began last summer and includes construction of a service road on the north side of the highway.
Ron Weatherburn, executive director for construction and maintenance for Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation, said improvements, including a new median, will be made to the lighted intersection at Camp Manitou Road.
"This will look very similar to what we've done (at other intersections)," he said.
The third intersection to be worked on is close to the Headingley scales at PR 334 (Dodds Road), but Weatherburn said the design hasn't been confirmed yet due to businesses being located next to the highway.
"We'll have to meet with the RM to decide what to do."
The other projects announced are:
• Six kilometres of paving of the east and westbound lanes, including shoulders from PTH 26 in SFX to Gaol Road in Headingley.
• 16 kilometres of paving of the east and westbound lanes, including shoulders from PR 248 in Cartier to PTH 26 in SFX.
• 18.8 kilometres of paving of the east and westbound lanes, including shoulders from PTH 13 to PR 248 in Cartier.
• Structure rehabilitation on the westbound lanes at Assiniboine River, 0.8 kilometres west of PTH 26 in SFX.

The Company's E2F-1 program is under development pursuant to a collaboration with Roche. Roche has an option to license worldwide rights to products under this program based on data from completed Phase 2 clinical trials with ARQ 501, the first-generation E2F-1 compound, as well as a recommended Phase 2 dose and other information defined in the collaboration agreement for a second-generation E2F-1 product. As a result of ArQule's decision to forego further development of ARQ 171, a new chemical entity designated ARQ 761 has become the second-generation E2F-1 product behind ARQ 501.
ArQule is currently conducting GLP toxicology studies with ARQ 761, a pro-drug that reverts to ARQ 501 following exposure to plasma. Pending the successful completion of these studies, an IND (Investigational New Drug application) for ARQ 761 would be filed in the second half of 2008.
"On an ongoing basis, ArQule and Roche are evaluating clinical and pre-clinical data from our E2F-1 compounds to inform Roche's decision regarding further participation in this program," said Peter S. Lawrence, chief operating officer of ArQule. "Pending the successful pre-clinical and Phase 1 clinical development of ARQ 761, we expect to have a recommended Phase 2 dose for this compound in 2009. Roche's option to the E2F-1 program runs through December 31, 2008, and they have the right to extend the option period through December 31, 2009 in exchange for financial support of further program deliverables."
About the E2F-1 Program
ARQ 501 and ARQ 761 are designed to kill cancer cells selectively while sparing normal cells through the activation of DNA damage response pathways believed to be regulated by the E2F-1 regulatory protein, thereby restoring the ability of the cell to recognize DNA damage and initiating the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in these cells. ARQ 501 is the first product generated in this program, while ARQ 761 is a second-generation compound.
About ArQule
ArQule is a biotechnology company engaged in the research and development of next-generation, small-molecule cancer therapeutics. The Company's targeted, broad-spectrum products and research programs are focused on key biological processes that are central to cancer. ArQule's lead products, which are in clinical-stage development, consist of ARQ 197, an inhibitor of the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase, and ARQ 501, an activator of the cell's DNA damage response mechanism mediated by the E2F-1 transcription factor. The Company's most advanced pre-clinical development programs are focused on the inhibition of the Eg5 kinesin spindle protein and the B-RAF kinase. ArQule's discovery efforts are focused on the identification of novel kinase inhibitors that are potent, selective and do not compete with ATP (adenosine triphosphate), an energy source for cells.
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the progress of the Company's pre-clinical and clinical development of products in its E2F-1 program, including ARQ 501 and ARQ 761, as well as the Company's collaboration with Hoffman-La Roche related to this program. These statements are based on the Company's current beliefs and expectations, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Even if a drug candidate such as ARQ 761 should successfully complete preclinical testing and Phase 1 clinical trials, such results do not ensure that later stage or larger scale clinical trials would be successful. For example, the E2F-1 compounds may not demonstrate promising therapeutic effect; in addition, they may not demonstrate an appropriate safety profile in pre-clinical testing or in clinical trials as a result of known or as yet unanticipated side effects. The results achieved in later stage trials may not be sufficient to meet applicable regulatory standards. Problems or delays may arise during clinical trials or pre-clinical development or in the course of developing, testing or manufacturing that could lead the Company to discontinue development of these compounds or cause its partner to discontinue its collaboration with the Company. Even if later stage clinical trials are successful, the risk exists that unexpected concerns may arise from analysis of data or from additional data or that obstacles may arise or issues be identified in connection with review of clinical data with regulatory authorities or that regulatory authorities may disagree with the Company's view of the data or require additional data or information or additional studies. In addition, the planned timing of completion of pre-clinical development and Phase 1 clinical testing with ARQ 761 is subject to the ability of the Company to enroll patients, enter into agreements with clinical trial sites and investigators, and other technical hurdles and issues that may not be resolved. Moreover, the Company's partner could choose not to pursue the collaboration for reasons unrelated to the progress of the program. Drug development involves a high degree of risk. Only a small number of research and development programs result in the commercialization of a product. Furthermore, ArQule may not have the financial or human resources to successfully pursue drug discovery in the future. For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's drug development and other activities see the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements.

Marilyn. Audrey. Elizabeth. Cher. Ringo. Leo. Last names aren't required when you rattle off the people who've sat before Douglas Kirkland's lens.
With a career spanning almost 60 years, he has photographed some of the most iconic figures of popular culture.
On today, his 80th birthday, I can't help but think of the day Douglas sat in front of my camera, and of the simple panic-inducing question I asked myself:
How do you photograph one of your photographic heroes?
The answer is simple: Do as he does.

Ben Long would like you to have an egg. As a photo subject, that is. In this week's installment of his weekly series, The Practicing Photographer, Ben issues an assignment: Photograph an egg in a way that conveys emotion.
How do you get emotion out of an egg without drawing a face on it, Ben asks? Through lighting and composition. As this week's two-video installment unfolds, we join Ben and photographer Troy Word in a classroom at the Oklahoma Arts Institute, where Troy gives his students this very assignment.
Troy demonstrates various lighting schemes, which you can replicate using anything from a studio light to a desk lamp or work light. As he moves the light around, changing its angle and its distance from the egg, the shadows on the egg change—and the mood in the resulting photos changes along with them.

Thanks to the social media and the freedom of speech age, but with a lot of floating comments mainly on Facebook and Twitter, some genuine and others not, one must try as much as possible to put a check on what he or she says.
The gospel sensation Sonnie Badu seems to have been irritated by the critics who wouldn't let him rest.
What could possibly have been said to tip off the 'Covenant Keeping God' hit maker?
The gospel singer tweeted a simple message advising his 'haters' to fall back and that only 'baba' God can judge him!!.
Please if u don't have anything wise or constructive to say, don't tweet me or FB me.. God is the judge not u!
Sometimes it is very distasteful to read what both fans and sympathizers utter on social media platforms, but then and again if you are in the public eye you should be expectant of such comments.
We are sure Sonnie is the not the first and certainly won't be the last 'celebrity' to be pissed at what is said about them.

Dillon Francis & Clockwork At Grand Central
A Pre-Independence Day Party could not have been more fun.
As his first stop in Party Degree's Project Bass Tour, musical jack-of-all trades Dillon Francis took over Grand Central. This show also featured LA's own Clockwork as the main supporting act. I have been following both for a while and knew the combination was going to make for a great show.
While I did see Clockwork play a short set at the Dim Mak Pool Party a few months before, it wasn't a proper set by any means. Thankfully, his set at Grand Central was long enough for him to throw us all kinds of tunes. Starting his set with Van Toth's "People Boots," Clockwork proceeded to take the crowd on a roller coaster ride full of bangers, including his remix of Steve Aoki's "Emergency" and his original "Squad Up." He even dropped some trap produced by his side project RL Grime.
This was been one of the most packed events I have ever seen at Grand Central, and the sweat pouring off the crowd by the time Clockwork ended his set was a testament to that. Most crowds would have been worn out after the way he rocked them, but they were merely primed and ready for more.
Dillon Francis was just the man to take the worn-out crowd and re-energize them. I was looking to hear the unexpected, and that's exactly what I got. Being Mr. IDGAFOS, Dillon didn't hold back, dropping a bit of almost everything: electro, moombahton, dubstep, drumstep, and even some progressive house, all seamlessly.
Unfortunately (well…thankfully), I was unable to ID a good amount of his tracks. But they were all certified bangers. Among those I could ID, I was amazed to hear Emalkay's "When I Look At You," a tune I thought I would never get the chance to hear live. Not to mention his own work, like his moombahton remix of Clockwork's "Hulk," his dubstep remix of Chuckie's "Who Is Ready To Jump," and a newly released trap rework of his moombahton classic "Masta Blasta".
Overall, the show was a banging sweat-fest that left too many ears ringning. Or should we say, we loved it.

Salesforce.com updates hosted CRM
Winter '04 edition builds strong workflow automation and alerting features into flexible offering
Long the leader among hosted SFA/CRM solutions, Salesforce.com continues to raise the bar for competitors. With the Winter '04 release, SFDC (Salesforce.com) packs improvements that truly put the "automation" into SFA. In addition to improvements in reporting, customization, and contract management, the new edition extends rules-based workflow and task routing throughout the application, helping to jump-start sales efforts by placing leads, opportunities, and customer service issues in the right hands at the right time.
Solid pipeline management tools, which make it easy to create leads from campaigns, convert them into opportunities, and turn opportunities into contracted customers, are backed by real-time alerts and a graphical dashboard that instantly shows the status of any customer process. SFDC also provides tools for forecasting and tracking quota levels, and post-contract retention tools including case management, customer service knowledgebase, and automated contract renewal.
I was impressed by the application's ability to bend workflow to mirror existing processes, rather than forcing staff to learn its way of doing things. On the downside, at no time did I forget that I was working in a Web browser; this might be an instance where a thin-client interface could further enrich the user's experience.
Tools of the Trade
SFDC provides each member of your sales team with a personalized home page, which serves as a jumping-off point for all activities. Users can view appointments and tasks, and access information based on their position or role. I easily tailored employee log-on pages to give support managers access to customer service issues and contract details, and sales reps access to their leads and pending opportunities, for example.
SFDC's tabbed interface offered quick access to information. The intuitive interface also eased the conversion of my qualified leads to full-fledged customer accounts, building a complete record set with contact, account data, and opportunity details as well as launching next-step tasks. The clean layout showed all key milestones associated with an account, such as pending meetings, contact logs (e-mail, phone calls, etc.), and external support documents, which I was able to attach to any record.
A new dashboard feature allows you to turn any report metric into an easily digested graphic or chart. Dashboards can incorporate elements from across the spectrum of sales and service tasks. A quick inspection of pipeline status (from lead to close), pending support cases, or the status of key accounts can provide staff with a real-time snapshot of what's hot and what's not.
In most cases, but not all, I was able to drill through graphics to underlying data elements for closer inspection. It would be useful if SFDC extended this drill-down capability to data throughout the application. Also helpful would be the ability to include dashboards and other custom elements in users' log-on pages.
Administering SFDC is a snap. I easily imported leads and contacts generated by external sources such as a direct marketing campaign or Act!. Building new forms and work screens was as easy as dragging and dropping fields into place. The highly customizable interface presented granular control over every aspect of the user's experience, down to which page and data elements were displayed. And, although I was unable to import an external user list during initial setup, SFDC facilitated access control by auto-generating passwords and e-mailing new users their log-on credentials.
Go With the Flow
One of the most important advances in the new Winter '04 release is the addition of workflow process management. Nearly everything, from assigning prospective leads to launching inquiries when high-profile accounts change status, can be managed using triggers and rules-based automation. This extends, too, to managing customer service cases and Web-initiated solicitations as well.
I used the text-based workflow interface to build rule sets for standard business practices. Rules could be built on criteria such as geographic location or revenue potential, for example, to ensure that a new lead on a prime account didn't end up in the lap of a newbie. Even changes in the status of an opportunity or existing contract could be used as a trigger. So, as a deal moved closer to completion, alerts and workflow tasks could be fired to call in the expertise of big guns to finesse the final closing.
The rules development interface would benefit from a graphical layout to help managers better visualize and test workflow processes. Also, the ability to include relational, date-based rules would be helpful. SFDC does allow you to implement new rules on existing records. And relational, date-based rules are available in task creation, where I could define a trigger date as "current date plus x-number of days," for example.
The Winter '04 edition also steps lightly into contract management by automating approval routing. SFDC won't replace your primary contract repository. It lacks integrated quote development, as well as many other features of a full-fledged contract management system (really an ERP function), but its audit trails can benefit support staff, and expiration alerts will allow sales reps to identify potential opportunities for renewal revenue.
In or Out?
Outsourcing CRM has always been viewed as a trade-off between reaping immediate benefits and satisfying ongoing flexibility requirements. With SFDC you gain the best of both worlds. And because SFDC mitigates hardware, storage, and security requirements, as well as the burden on IT staff, it becomes possible to accurately predict the true cost of your CRM system.
SFDC combines a rich set of CRM features, an intuitive interface, superb help and support services, strong reporting, extensive customization, and the tools to meet the challenge of most any advanced application or legacy integration requirement. In addition to a new Web services API, Winter '04 offers advanced integration through its SForce on- demand application server and an in-house TIBCO Integration Server that can directly extend your backend applications with CRM functionality.
Any company in all but the most vertical of industries would do well to consider SFDC Winter '04. Its potential for building more productive, cost-effective sales teams and ensuring customer satisfaction is unmatched in a hosted solution, and one lead well worth your time to qualify.

Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity performed one of their stunning dance routines outside Downing Street yesterday for Prime Minister Gordon Brown - although we don't think 'landing on your head from a great height' was part of the original choreography.
Afro-haired munchkin Perri Luc Kiely was trying to do one of his trademark back flips but didn't get high enough in the air, and landed on his head rather than on his feet.
The brave lad carried on with the routine to the end, but he was clearly in pain and was later seen in tears being consoled by the Prime Minister's wife Sarah.

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
I have four of my kids playing softball and I know how difficult the changeup can be. I'm sure you've heard the old adage, "think fast, adjust to slow". While it is true that a quick mental adjustment is needed to hit the changup, there are a couple of things you can do to make it physically easier. First, your muscles have to be accustomed to hitting a changeup. This can only happen through practice. You can buy equipment that helps you practice, such as 'the hands back hitter', or you can accomplish the same thing by having someone softly toss you the ball, making sure that they don't flip it until you've taken your stride.
The next thing you need to work on is your stance and stride. A long stride and too much of a weight shift to your front leg will lock your hips and make it harder to adjust. Work on not locking your knees, balancing on the balls of your feet and taking a stride of no more than 2-4 inches. There are detailed instructions on this website: http://www.syasoftball.com/hittingfund.html - the important points to look at are the stance, the negative movement (leaning back toward the catcher), and the stride.
Good Luck!

" Looking for advice for postgraduate applications. "
If you are thinking of applying for postgraduate study, then you are not alone - each year, thousands of people apply to the 12,000+ postgraduate courses that are available in the UK. With the number of graduate jobs apparently dwindling over recent years (26% of employers reported a decrease in the number of graduate vacancies in 2003 alone, according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters), then the number of people wanting postgraduate study in the future is likely to only increase. As the scramble for graduate positions intensifies, more people are considering postgraduate study as a means of making themselves more marketable to employers, such as by learning extra skills, demonstrating a level of commitment to a subject, or widening their knowledge in a field that complements their other qualifications. With more and more people having first degrees to offer, a postgraduate qualification may help you stand out from the crowd and get you those important interviews; employers might also value people who have shown they have worked hard and independently at this level, and someone who has secured funding in such a competitive market might be more attractive again to some bosses. But of course, employability isn't the only reason to consider postgraduate study - you could do it simply for the pleasure of studying a subject you love alongside like-minded people (yes, seriously!). If you are put off by the high cost of taking postgraduate courses, then you may be interested to know that there is good evidence that while people with postgraduate qualifications don't necessarily earn more than graduates when they enter the job market, they do tend to get promoted faster and the pay differential increases later on in careers.
There are many different sorts of postgraduate option to choose from, from certificates (PGCert, usually two modules of masters-level study) to diplomas (PGDip, usually three or four modules of masters-level study) to Master's degrees (MA, MSc, MPhil, etc) and doctorates (PhD, DBA, EdD, etc). The first two options are taught courses, with Master's degrees being taught with a dissertation or by research (i.e. no taught element, just one big thesis), and doctorates being entirely by research (with the exception of some professional doctorates that have an element of advanced level teaching). The length of time taken would be less than a year for someone taking a PGCert or PGDip full time, with a taught Master's degree lasting a year, a Master's degree by research lasting a year with a degree of flexibility (i.e. a couple of months either side of the year to accommodate the greater variation in research than taught courses), an MPhil lasting about 18 months (again with a couple of months either side), and a doctorate being three to four years. Most colleges and universities will want a minimum of an upper second class bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) for admission to a Master's degree, and a Master's degree for admission to PhD, although there is variation and having a 2:2 is not necessarily a barrier to higher level study.
If you decide to apply for postgraduate study, then my first piece of advice would be to make sure you actually want to do it and that you are not just doing it because you want to be a student for a another year or two. Postgraduate study is an expensive undertaking (in the order of several thousand pounds per year in fees alone), a lot of work, and if you are pursuing it with career ambitions in mind there is no guarantee of the job you are aiming for at the end of it in many cases. It is also a very different experience to being an undergraduate. If you choose to take a postgraduate taught course, you are not going to be spoon-fed the subject like many undergraduate courses have the tendency to do; the work is a lot more intense and the students are expected to be more independent (i.e. not everything is going to be in the lectures, you need to think for yourself a bit more). If you opt to take a research degree, then that independence is taken even further, as you will essentially be designing and directing your own course of study - something I suspect will frustrate, terrify or create inertia in a good deal of students. Consider why you are applying in the first place; if developing your confidence, independence, initiative and self-motivation are on your list, you could do a lot worse than applying to take a research degree.
1) Finding a course
With there being so many courses on offer, how do you go about finding the one that is right for you? If you are unsure of where to start, a good place to look is the Prospects website (www.prospects.ac.uk) where you can search for course by subject and location throughout the UK. Once you have a selection that interests you, you can find further information using prospectuses (most colleges and universities will have these available online) and by attending postgraduate open days. Other useful websites are www.findamasters.com, www.findaphd.com, www.jobs.ac.uk (which lists courses, research opportunities, scholarships and bursaries) and the Guardian's education section (http://education.guardian.co.uk/courses/). For those of you interested in research rather than a taught course advertised in a prospectus, it is a good idea to look for universities that have staff interested in your research area and then contact either the graduate school (or equivalent) or the staff directly to enquire whether there would be research opportunities to study under them. Even if there is nothing explicitly advertised, if an academic is sufficiently interested in your work and has the time, you might be able to get your research opportunity through this approach.
2) Funding your course
Whether you decide on a taught or research course, you need to give serious consideration to how you are going to fund your time at university. While some grants, bursaries and scholarships are available, competition for these is fierce and you may have to consider funding all or part of your course out of your own pocket. Unfortunately, there isn't the same level of financial support for postgraduate students as there is for undergraduates (with the exception of teacher training), and there are no subsidised loans available (although on the plus side, this means you don't need to deal with the Student Loans Company!). Only around a quarter of students starting a postgraduate course have come straight from an undergraduate degree, and I suspect that this is at least in part due to financial reasons. Many people (myself included) take a year out between graduating and returning to university to work and save up some money towards courses fees (and living expenses, etc). Other people work part time during their course (I did to some extent, working as an invigilator for exams for instance) or work full time and take their course part time (a lot of universities are becoming increasingly flexible in this area).
There are various organisations that offer funding to postgraduate students, such as research councils (e.g. the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Medical Research Council - see www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/eligibility.htm), the British Academy, some government departments, charities and charitable trusts, and well as the individual colleges and universities themselves (see http://tinyurl.com/6frr8t and www.npc.org.uk/page/1082154863). If you are doing teacher training you may be eligible for a bursary from the Training and Development Agency for Schools (www.tda.gov.uk). There are also career development loans, which are available for students who are normally resident in the UK, intend to work in the UK and are studying for a vocational qualification (www.lifelonglearning.dfes.gov.uk/cdl.). Other good websites to look at are www.postgraduatestudentships.co.uk, www.studentmoney.org, and www.egas-online.org.uk/fwa, and you could also look at the dooyoo category on applying for a research grant (www.dooyoo.co.uk/professions-occupations/applying-for-a-research-grant/) for advice on how to proceed with these organisations.
3) Completing the application
You need to apply directly to the university, unless you want to do a postgraduate course in social work, in which case you apply through UCAS (www.ucas.ac.uk). The first thing to check is that you have a copy of the correct application form (there may be different ones depending on whether the course is taught or research, and there may also be variations between faculties), as submitting the wrong one is not going to endear you to any selection committee! Secondly, make sure you do everything asked of you - supply any additional documents requested in the quantity requested, make sure all relevant part of the form are filled in, and the method of completion (e.g. word processed or in black ink) is adhered to. If you hand-write your form, make sure it is neat, legible and correctly spelt throughout (you might want to photocopy the form first to give yourself a practice copy before completing the real thing). Keeping a copy of the form for yourself once it is complete is also advisable, as you may need to refer back to it at a later point (such as at an interview). Basically, you want to treat your form like a job application and take it just as seriously; if you are filling out several applications, then make sure each one is specifically target to the department/university in question.
If you are applying for a research opportunity, then you will also need to submit a research proposal; check carefully how long this needs be and what it has to contain. Research proposals do not normally need to be very long, but they do need to demonstrate sufficient grasp of an area to know what research could be done in it (and also within the time and resource limits of the study), and with some idea of the bibliography and methodology to be used, and an awareness of any ethical issues, if applicable. I would suggest sending the form by recorded delivery so you have proof that it arrived safely, in hard-backed envelope to help prevent damage in the post.
Good luck!

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
You need to be honest about how it hurt you, if you sit back and not say anything this type of behavior is going to continue. It's almost as if they are dismissing you as being part of the family now. Maybe talk to your husband and tell him you are tired of being treated this way and that you do not derserve such treatment. You should have been asked to stay and then they include the husband's ex wife. The Bride and Groom probably didn't want to leave anyone out and didn't want to feel like they were taking sides. If you don't like the treatment you have been receiving then you have to voice your feelings either to your husband so that he can say something to them or to them yourself.
You can't really make them stop or make them resepct you, you can only tell them that these things that they do hurt you and that you are part of the family now and want to be included in things that your husband is invited to. I think the reason they asked you step down is because they wanted their parents in the picture by themselves and that if you were included in one photo then that should have been good enough for you but what they should have done was kept you in the picture and included their real mother. I really think your husband should handle this situation seeing that it is his family that is doing this to you, you don't really want to seem like the bad guy or seem like you are trying to start trouble witnin the family but you shouldn't let them keep getting away with that. I think if they realize that their son is noticing how they are treating you they will try harder to include you in things.

Facebook has apologized to drag queens and the larger LGBT community in the wake of controversy over the site's names policy, clarifying that users don't have to use their legal name.
Drag queens and other members of the LGBT community initially met with Facebook last month after some of their profiles were deleted and then restored, ostensibly because they weren't using their legal names. San Francisco-based Sister Roma, a member of the city's performance group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, was one of the affected users. The incident sparked a debate over Facebook's names policies and how it enforces them.
Facebook messed up, said Chris Cox, chief product officer at the company. "I want to apologize to the affected community of drag queens, drag kings, transgender, and extensive community of our friends, neighbors, and members of the LGBT community for the hardship that we've put you through in dealing with your Facebook accounts over the past few weeks," he said Wednesday.
The accounts were deleted because they were flagged by a user as fake, Cox said. Facebook receives several hundred thousand fake name reports per week, and most of the time the reports target people engaging in abusive behavior, he said. Because the drag queen accounts were dropped into that larger bucket, Facebook didn't notice that the names didn't violate the company's policies, he said.
At least some of the controversy is likely due to a misunderstanding of Facebook's policies. Facebook has never required anyone to use their legal name, but people must use the "authentic" name they use in real life, Cox clarified.
"For Sister Roma, that's Sister Roma," he said. "For Lil Miss Hot Mess, that's Lil Miss Hot Mess."
Facebook will improve both the way it identifies fake accounts and customer service around accounts that get flagged. "We're already underway building better tools for authenticating the Sister Romas of the world while not opening up Facebook to bad actors," Cox said.
It's not clear how the company will do that. For the past 10 years the firm has asked users of flagged accounts to verify their names by submitting some form of ID, like a gym membership or piece of mail, but that likely won't work for everyone. Facebook did not immediately respond to comment further.
The changes were outlined following a meeting on the matter Facebook held at its headquarters with activists Wednesday morning.
The changes represent strong signs of progress, said Mark Snyder, senior manager of communications at the San Francisco-based Transgender Law Center, who was part of Wednesday's meeting.
"It's clear Facebook has been grappling internally with how to handle this," he said in an interview following the meeting.
For instance, Facebook earlier this year started offering more gender-identification options.

PROSECUTORS described him as "sexual cyber terrorist" and now a US man will spend the next four years in jail for an extraordinary series of crimes.
Karen 'Gary' Kazaryan, 27, hacked into the email, Facebook and Skype accounts of as many as 350 women and extorted them into showing him their naked bodies, KTLA 5 reported.
After he obtained naked pictures from his victims he would threaten to post the images on the internet unless they would provide additional photos and videos, the report said.
"He had two goals every time that he accessed these accounts: get more naked pictures in any way he could, and get more victims," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing papers.
He would then ask for the contact details of their friends. Most victims were believed to be aged 20 or younger.
"His victims were devastated and felt like they had been raped," the sentencing memorandum said.
"They continue to be thoroughly (traumatised) by his criminal conduct."

Bush's Final "Dirty Deed!"
[img_assist|nid=26143|title=Map Of Routes|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=200|height=184]Under wraps for quite some time other than bits and pieces, the true facts are coming out of a SUPER HIGHWAY from Mexico to Canada...Our borders will receive their final erasure. WHHI...do your stuff! LOL! ============================================== Bush Plans Super Highway From Mexico to Canada According to Human Events Online, while we are all fretting about illegal immigration, quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA (North America Free Trade Association) Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minnesota. Good grief. Talk about globalization (and loss of American jobs) at it's absolute worst. Once complete, the new super highway will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States bypassing the Longshoreman's Union in the process. The Mexican trucks will drive straight into the heartland of America by crossing the border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new "SENTRI" system. The first custom stop will be at a new facility in KANSAS CITY. Construction is scheduled to start next year. Dozens of U. S. government agencies, state agencies and scores of non-government agencies are working behind the scenes to build the new NAFTA Super Highway. There are also plans afoot to create the North American Union (the equivalent of the European Union) as the logical next step in the loss of our independence and economic freedoms. The Super Highway is the brainchild of NASCO (North American SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc.), which claims to be a "non-profit organization dedicated to developing the world's first international, integrated and secure. Multi-modal transportation system along the international Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade and competitiveness and quality of life in North America." Carefully note that the good ol' USA is not mentioned in that marketing blurb. NASCO has received $2.5 million in earmarks from the U. S. Department of Transportation to plan the highway. Read the entire article at: http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=14965 North American Union - A Top Goal of Secretary of Commerce Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez has declared advancing the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America to one of his top goals, writing in a letter archived on the Department of Commerce website that "I have made the SPP one of my top priorities and will utilize the talents and expertise of the people across the Department of Commerce to ensure the SPP is a success." Secretary Gutierrez next laid out an explanation of how "security" and "prosperity" fit together, using language that carefully replaced reference to the United States of America to language embracing the concept of "North America" as an economic and political reality. Secretary Gutierrez enters the discussion by bragging about the importance of the role he is assigned to play: Organizationally, I am jointly responsible for the economic, or prosperity, component of the SPP, with my Canadian counterpart, Minister of Industry David Emerson, and my Mexican counterpart, Secretary of Economy Fernando Canales. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, jointly with his Canadian and Mexican counterparts, is responsible for the security component. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, jointly with her Canadian and Mexican counterparts, will ensure that the two components are integrated and that the SPP advances our strong relations with Mexico and Canada. Working groups rewriting U.S. administrative laws in areas ranging from e-commerce, to steel policy, to energy policy, to aviation control, to border crossing policy, to environment (to mention just a few) are arguably creating the legal infrastructure for a regional government to emerge by administrative fiat. Yet, there is no provision in the U.S. Constitution that justifies the executive branch to rewrite U.S. administrative law without formulating a treaty that must be submitted to the Senate for ratification by a two-thirds vote. These are the cold realities Secretary Gutierrez and SPP.gov seek to side step with their reassuring "security" and "prosperity" platitudes. Our Government is Erasing Our Borders In line with the push to create the North American Union (NAU), the federal government is slowly but surely erasing our borders. It began in 1993, with an expansion of the "La Paz Agreement" between the United States and Mexico. Bill Clinton issued Executive Order 12904 in 1994, which created the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, to oversee development in "Border Region XXI," a region 62-miles wide on either side of the U.S./Mexico border. This little-known agreement, a side deal in the much-touted North America Free Trade Agreement, was a precursor to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, born in March 2005. Recently we gave been alerted to the Transportation Super-Highway from Southern Mexico to Kansas City (and eventually to Canada), which will virtually eliminate border security and thousands of American jobs. Government agencies are ignoring the plight of the thousands of businesses and farms that will be seized under Eminent Domain to accomplish this project. At the root of the problem is an evolving concept of what America is, or was, or should be. For nearly a century, America led the world in freedom and prosperity, not because government decided what is best for America, but because a free people decided what government could, and could not do. Somewhere along the way, the people got too busy earning a living, or watching ball games, or shopping, or vacationing, or getting rich off government projects, so that the idea of limiting government initiatives fell out of favor. Most of America seems perfectly content to let government do whatever it wants. Aside from complaining, there is little evidence that the majority of Americans care enough about what America is becoming, to do the work necessary to return government to the people. Consider this: per capita income in the U.S. is $41,800; in Canada, $34,000; in Mexico, $10,000. Were these three economies "homogenized," as is the goal of the trade agreements and the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the per capita income of all three nations would be $28,000. Once these agreements erase our borders, America will be nothing more than a member of the North American Union, with only a fading memory of glories past.

Radiohead are neither recording or rehearsing in England, as Thom Yorke spent last last night DJing at the Low End Theory in Los Angeles.
The Low End Theory is a Los Angeles dubstep club, where Flying Lotus started out. Gaslamp Killer, Flying Lotus and Nigel Godrich were also at the venue. Thom did a straight up DJ set like he did at the Roosevelt Hotel in '09. Setlist included Burial, Modeselektor, Kraftwerk, Squarepusher (Red Hot car), Madvillain (America's Most Blunted), Major Lazer and a bunch of other stuff, said At Ease reader Arturo. He played around an hour and 20 min and left the stage. The crowd went crazy of course.
Also, Flying Lotus just tweeted and he still can't believe it.
Update: and 8 hours later…

Mel Gibson ended his 28 years of marriage, Rihanna's explicit photos got leaked, and the King of Pop drew his last breath.
The second round of kaleidoscope presented by AceShowbiz reviews occurrences in showbiz from April to June 2009. In between times, the movie business witnessed the triumph of hit vampire drama movie "Twilight" at MTV Movie Awards, while the TV industry saw Kris Allen winning the "American Idol" title during the show's eight season. Music, meanwhile, welcomed back white rapper Eminem at Billboard Hot 200 after 5 years hiatus. Above all, one great celebrity that Hollywood has ever had, Michael Jackson, stole the headlines with his sudden death.
Birth, marriage, divorce, legal problem, and scandal were still the major issues during the second quarter of 2009. Hush hush romance, moreover, also played a role on the wheel. Above all, the death of some superstars managed to grab media headlines for quite sometime. Hollywood mourned the loss of some of its icons, which legacy takes ten or hundred years to recreate.
After more than 28 years of marriage and 7 children together, Mel Gibson's wife Robyn Moore filed for divorce from him on April 9, citing irreconcilable differences. In addition to seeking joint physical and legal custody of their youngest kid, Tom, she also requested spousal support and attorneys' fees from the actor. Never addressing his divorce proceedings, later that month Mel debuted his new girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva on the red carpet of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" L.A. premiere.

Amidst on-going investigation on the assault case involving her and Chris Brown, a total of 8 highly explicit photos of Rihanna were leaked. Most of the photos showed the Barbadian songstress exposing her nude bottoms and breasts to the camera in various states of pose. Chris was also featured in one photo with pink panties, which was believed belonging to Rihanna, on his head. Her record label, Island Def Jam, was quick to send letter to at least one website that published the unauthorized photos, demanding it to take down the provocative shots.

Maribor claim first group win
Maribor claimed their maiden Europa League group stage victory after downing Panathinaikos in impressive fashion.
Last Updated: 20/09/12 10:33pm
Maribor claimed their maiden Europa League group stage victory after downing Panathinaikos in impressive fashion.
The Slovenian champions, who last season only managed one point from their six group matches after reaching this stage for the first time, took a first-half lead through Robert Beric and his strike partner Agim Ibraimi made it 2-0 just after the hour.
Marcos Tavares, who played a part in both those goals, then added a third from the penalty spot in the 88th minute to seal the victory and leave Maribor at the top of Group J above heavyweights Tottenham and Lazio.
In an encounter between two teams who were knocked out of the Champions League play-offs, in-form Maribor were quickly on the attack with Dejan Mezga shooting over in the first minute and Ibraimi testing visiting goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis soon after.
Maribor, who are unbeaten in their domestic league with seven wins from nine matches, then comfortably survived a couple of Panathinaikos forays forward before taking the lead in the 25th minute.
Tavares created the chance with a clever pass through to Beric, who took a touch before thumping his shot past Karnezis.
The hosts sought to build on their lead before the break but efforts from distance from Tavares, Ibraimi and Beric failed to seriously trouble Karnezis.
Karnezis was called into action again in the 53rd minute following another shot from Ibraimi before his Maribor counterpart Jasmin Handanovic was finally tested a minute later with a Lazaros Christodoulopoulos shot that he parried.
The danger was not cleared though and Jose Carlos Zeca might have drawn the Greek side level only to see his shot go wide.
Five minutes after that incident Maribor had doubled their lead.
Tavares' cross was blocked but Ibraimi was on hand to fire a shot inside the far post as Karnezis was beaten for a second time.
There was no way back for Pana after that and Maribor had chances to increase their lead with Tavares heading wide from six yards before Nejc Potokar was denied by Karnezis.
Brazilian Tavares did get on the scoresheet before the end though, slotting home from the spot after he had been fouled inside the area by Ibrahim Sissoko, while a miserable night for Pana was made complete when Nikos Spyropoulos was dismissed for a second bookable offence right at the end.

Smooth Sailing : Celebrity Reflection Cruise Review by gmann163
Overall Member Rating
Smooth Sailing
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
Embarkation - We boarded about 11:30 a.m. There were no lines. We were on the ship within minutes. Although our cabin was not ready, we were able to enjoy the buffet and the public areas of this beautiful ship.
Cabin - We were in a concierge level cabin. Our steward kept our cabin neat and tidy. We rarely saw her. There was plenty of room storage, and we thoroughly enjoyed our balcony. Although we could hear noise (carts rolling) from the buffet above us, it was only slightly bothersome. We had a bottle of champagne in our room upon our arrival. She changed it our for wine at our request. The afternoon canapés were okay.
Meals - We mostly ate at Opus, but we did enjoy one evening each at Murano and the Tuscan Grille. First, Opus, was very nice. The food was good as was the More variety. Some entrees were better than others, but overall, I felt celebrity did a fine job. I personally enjoyed the escargot each evening as an appetizer. The fish was always fresh and tasty, as were the steaks. Most mornings we ate at the buffet due to the time our tours started. It had a wide variety of breakfast options. Not great - but it was fine. Murano was very nice, but we REALLY enjoyed our Tuscan Grille dinner.
Ship - Very clean! We loved exploring this ship. Even with 3,000 guests, it never seemed crowded. We never had to wait in a line.
Ports - A great itinerary! I had been to most of the ports previously. They were as beautiful as I remembered. Most of our tours were arranged through the CC Boards with fellow Cruise Critic members. They were all amazing. We used Sicily LIfe (Fabio) in Messina for the Unknown Villages around Etna with wine tasting and Taormina tour. I highly recommend him! We joined a group and used Sicily with Mario for the Amalfi Coast drive. He was funny and knowledgeable, giving us plenty of time to explore the breathtaking views and towns. Other CC members organized a tour of Athens. We did two Celebrity excursions; Ephesus and Santorini. The Ephesus tour was not very good. We were rushed through the ruins and taken to a shopping center and then a bazaar. We actually left the tour and walked back to the ship on our own. I gave Celebrity my review of this tour. Skip it! In Santorini we did the Oia tour. We were rushed, and wish they had given us more time to enjoy this amazing place. We walked Rhodes and Mykonos on our own, renting a quad in Mykonos to explore the beautiful beaches.
Entertainment - This is the one area that needs improvement - at least the headliners... We liked the comedian. We left the Whitney Houston tribute and the ventriloquist. The musicians in the public areas and bars were quite entertaining.
Overall - I would not hesitate to book another Celebrity Cruise. We had a great trip, traveled in a nice room, met amazing people, learned fascinating history, and saw beautiful places. What more could you want from a vacation? Less

You could hear noise from the buffet above when on the balcony. This was from the food carts being pushed to and fro. Other than that, cabin was very nice. The shower was larger than we expected.

News Wrap: Justice Department Orders New Orleans Police to Clean Up Corruption
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
HARI SREENIVASAN: Wall Street slid lower for a third day, partly over renewed fears that Europe's debt crisis still is not under control. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 104 points to close at 12,617. The Nasdaq fell 27 points to close just under 2,863.
The New Orleans Police Department will have to undertake a sweeping program of federally supervised reforms. The U.S. Justice Department announced the changes today. They include mandatory training on the use of force, new diversity standards for recruitment, and videotaping of interrogations in homicide and sexual assault cases. The measures are aimed at eradicating decades of corruption, mismanagement, and abuse.
The city of Anaheim, Calif., braced for more protests today, after police killed two Hispanic men over the weekend. The first was unarmed when he was killed Saturday. Police said he was a gang member, but didn't say why he was shot.
Hours later, a near-riot broke out as protesters clashed with police. Police responded by firing bean bags and pepper balls, and one police dog ran into the crowd and grabbed a man by the arm.
On Sunday, officers killed a second man. They said he fired on them first. So far this year, there have been six officer-involved shootings, and five of those were fatal.
For more on this, I'm joined by David Nazar of PBS SoCal.
So, David, help put these protests in perspective for us. Why are they gaining momentum?
DAVID NAZAR, PBS SoCal: Well, they're gaining momentum because they feel their voice is finally being heard.
Hari, this didn't begin this past Saturday and Sunday with the Diaz and Acevedo shooting by Anaheim cops. This is a culmination of anger against the city of Anaheim and the police department. You have primarily a Latino contingent that's very angry at what's been going on.
Back in March, there was a shooting of a young man by cops. The officer remained on duty. No action was taken. Now this Saturday and Sunday, you have these two incidents. The crowds converges. Of course, the police go in there, the tear gas, the rubber bullets, another catastrophe.
Finally, those in the Latino community say they want action. There's going to be a city council meeting going on this evening. Hundreds are going to be gathering in front of city hall. And they feel for the first time with enough momentum, the mayor is going to have to say, hey, we have got to do something to be proactive, Hari.
HARI SREENIVASAN: All right, what's the status of the investigation into the behavior of the police officers? The police chief came out and said that he apologizes, or the canine officer apologizes, didn't mean for the dog to get out.
But what's happening to the officers?
DAVID NAZAR: The officers involved in the shootings are now on paid administrative leave, but more importantly you have sort of a shift with city leaders and their viewpoint.
They're saying we're not going to go this alone. For the first time, I have heard the mayor come out and say, hey, we're going to bring the states and the feds into this, the state attorney general, the U.S. attorney's office. They want another pair of eyes and ears on this thing, because, again, many in the Latino community say this is just the culmination of years of abuse by cops on the Latino community. And they feel finally action is going to be taken, Hari.
HARI SREENIVASAN: All right, David Nazar, PBS SoCal, thanks for the update.
A Roman Catholic cleric in Philadelphia was sentenced to three to six years in prison today for covering up sexual abuse by priests. Monsignor William Lynn is the most senior clergymen convicted in the long-running scandal. For a dozen years, he handled priest assignments and child sexual assault complaints in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Lynn plans to appeal his conviction on a charge of child endangerment.
Prosecutors in Britain have charged eight more today in the phone hacking scandal. All worked at a Rupert Murdoch tabloid that's since been shut down.
We have a report from Andy Davies of Independent Television News.
ANDY DAVIES: The names and faces may be unfamiliar to many, but in the world of tabloid journalism and in politics, they mattered enormously, especially names Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson. In 2003, he succeeded her as the editor of what was then Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, The News of the World. He'd later become David Cameron's communications chief, she elevated to run Rupert Murdoch's businesses in Britain, a friend to prime ministers.
And yet, today, both stood accused of being involved in the most notorious episode of this whole hacking scandal, of conspiring with others to intercept the voice-mails of the murdered school girl Milly Dowler.
Within hours of the charges, the prime minister's former press chief gave this statement outside his London home.
ANDY COULSON, former editor, News of the World: I'm obviously extremely disappointed by the CPS decision today. I will fight these allegations when they eventually get to court. But I would like to say one thing today about the Milly Dowler allegations.
Anyone who knows me or has worked with me would know that I wouldn't — more importantly, that I didn't — do anything to damage the Milly Dowler investigation.
ANDY DAVIES: What's so striking about today's charges is just how far up the editorial chain at the News of the World the CPS claim this conspiracy went. At seemingly every decision-making level, there was involvement, it's alleged.
Stuart Kuttner was once managing editor at the News of the World. Ian Edmondson was a news editor there, so, too, Greg Miskiw. James Weatherup was an assistant news editor, Neville Thurlbeck once their award-winning chief reporter, all big tabloid names.
HARI SREENIVASAN: If they're convicted, those charged could serve up to two years in prison.
The British government is going ahead with plans to deploy 1,200 more soldiers to help secure the Olympic Games in London. The opening ceremony is just three days away. But the private firm hired to guard the Games has been unable to fill all the security positions. With the new deployment, more than 17,000 troops have been called out to cover the shortfall.
The leader of a model democracy in Africa died today. John Atta Mills had been president of Ghana since 2008. There was no word on the cause of death. The vice president was sworn in as the new president within hours, underscoring the country's adherence to constitutional stability. John Atta Mills was 68 years old.
Those are some of the day's major stories.

Ask a Dentist. Get Answers to Your Dental Questions.
Thanks for using JustAnswer. Hello Dr.Cliff here. Are you available?
There are many different lesions that appear in the mouth. I am thinking trauma to the tongue could have caused these ulcers. Trying to rule out thrush and other leukcoplakias. Is there any way you can send me a picture through www.mediafire.com.
Sorry so late...
i could only describe it to you
Can the white spots be scraped off?
no it seems to be puss
but there are a few and i have used listerine and crest mouthwash and now today started using homeremedy hot water and salt
Are they spread out on the floor of the mouth on both sides? or are they concentrated in one area?
mainly just under my tongue. i have noticed that i now have two forming on the bottom of my tongue
i guess if you were to look at it. the area that would separate my tongue. a ligament i guess is where it is concentrated
Some personal questions...are you sexually active?
Oral sex recently?
no just kissing
haven't ventured there yet
Sorry, trying to rule out some possibilities. That is one of them.
no no thats fine. i was hoping that would be ruled out first anyway
Have you noticed them anywhere else in your mouth or only on floor of mouth
just the floor. concentrated in the one spot
You mentioned "pus". Does it look like they are draining? Do they hurt?
they don't hurt per say, but at times they do. it seems to be moving up my tongue to i can see what looks like veins as to where the new "blisters" formed
it has only been a week, but still would like to know
You have me stumped right now....there are several types of ulcers I am thinking of, but all are not concentrated just in the area you are talking about. Give me a little time on this. I will check my pathology books in the morning at my office and see what I can find. I will follow up with you when I get to my books....sorry for the delay, but I need to do a little research.
Are you in school? Stressed? What is your race and nationality?
I have a camera now and will see if i can figure it out and send you some pics
yes, no, hispanic
If you can get a picture of it...you can go to www.mediafire.com post it on there. once posted open the picture up. You will see a URL box with the link of your photo. Use your right mouse button and copy the link. Then come back to this page and in a reply to me click the right button again and paste the link....I would then be able to see the photo. Give a try and I will chat with you tomorrow.
thanks i will try
this is today's pics
i will be off and on so tell me what you think
Hello, just checked this...I responded to you this morning, but see it did not go through to you.
The pictures you took were awesome. I believe what you are dealing with are "Apthous Ulcers" . This is what the pictures look like to me. The etiology of the ulcers are not quite certain. So hard to say what caused these to erupt. Some suggestions have been they come from stress, vitamn deficiency, herpectic virus, and autoimmune. There are several ways to treat them. Antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines. I always keep medicine in my office for this medicine. I like to give my patients for Kenalog in Orbase. It is a paste that you can rub over the ulcers. It numbs them up for several hours and helps speed the recovery. Unfortunaely you can't get this stuff over the counter, you will have to have a prescription for it. You can apply the paste 3-4 times a day. I included .http://www.aafp.org/afp/20000701/149.html a link for you.. It is an apthous ulcers. I will provided you with a ton of options and treatment Best of Luck..
I was actually able to see my dentist in short time and he prescribed me APHTHASOL. Would this stuff do the trick? Also an important question, are they (the ulcers) contagious? Or can I live life as normal?
Hello again, glad you were able to get it checked by your dentist.
Yes, the medicine he prescribed is used to treat canker sores. This will work fine.
It is a paste that can be be applied over the ulcers to help clearing the up.
As far as being contagious, aphthous ulcer causes are unknown, but not contagious. Once they clear up and go away, they may reappear again. Unfortunately this is something that you may have to deal with for a while. You never know when they reappear since we don't really know what is the main cause. You have nothing to worry about though as far as passing them on to someone else.
great news!!
thanks Dr. Cliff, you have been a big help
Glad your dentist thought they were ulcers also.
haha me to
oh one more thing
Best of Luck!
right around were the ulcers are i try to apply the paste but it is rather difficult do to my saliva that accumluates
how should the past look when applied
There is a saliva duct on that muscle on the floor of the mouth. You may need to get a q-tip and try to dry the ulcer off, then try to get the paste to stick. When everything is wet it is hard to get that paste to stay....so try to dry each ulcer before applying it and see if that helps...it can be aggrevating
so i have experienced already... thanks again
yes, the paste can make a mess and taste like crap also...

NEW ORLEANS —Rick Jones said he isn't comfortable with losing, and he knows he never will be.
So it's been a particularly difficult year, even compared to the four frustrating ones before it, for the most successful baseball coach in Tulane history.
With less than a month remaining, the Green Wave (20-20, 4-7 Conference USA) is suffering through its worst offensive season since 1968 and is in jeopardy of snapping a streak of 19 consecutive winning seasons. It comes as a shock to those in and around the program who vocally expected a return to the NCAA tournament this season, led by 10 seniors who have experienced some fleeting success.
Rather than coming together to mount a trip to the postseason for the first time since 2008, Tulane's poor performance has disgruntled fans and even national analysts pondering the direction of the once-powerful Green Wave program, which appears to have lost its way. Around Turchin Stadium, there are audible grumbles about whether or not Jones, despite his distinguished history, will maintain his post into the future.
It's a concept Jones readily and heartily dismisses.
"You think this is the way I want to go out or finish my career, whenever that happens to be? Of course not," Jones said. "Are you kidding me? Anyone who knows me knows this not how I operate. Even the people I love would tell you my ego wouldn't even tolerate that notion. We will do whatever it takes to get out of this. We just have to find a way how."
While Jones' detractors point to the recent string of results, the 20th-year coach pins a confluence of events, including NCAA rules changes, untimely injuries, a recruiting class poached by Major League Baseball and tournament selection committee politics for the prolonged postseason drought.
With only 11.7 scholarships to divide among 30-plus roster spots and an annual tuition pushing $60,000, recruiting is a challenge before baseball matters are even discussed. While it's always been the task for Jones and his staff, the NCAA toughened it in recent years by forcing transfers from other Division I schools to sit out a year and required that anyone receiving scholarship aid must get at least 25 percent of full cost, when a 10-percent or even 5-percent scholarship is a significant amount of money and used to be easily spread around the roster.
"It sort of changed the game on us because if you get someone hurt and they're on a scholarship, it really leaves you without any margin for error," Jones said. "We have a lot of guys this year who take up a lot of our scholarship pot, and they aren't playing because our pitching staff is so banged up. There's nothing they, or I, can do about it.
"And we used to be able to fill in some of those holes with transfers and guys who wanted an opportunity to play after things didn't work out at their first stop, and we got some very valuable players that way. But now, because they have to sit out a year, it's so much harder to get those guys in the door."
As someone who has worked on both sides of the public-to-private divide, LSU coach Paul Maineiri said there is a distinct difference recruiting and building a roster at a relatively inexpensive state school like LSU and his previous stop at Notre Dame. While recruiting misses and injuries occur across the country, Manieiri said building quality depth was nearly impossible with the restrictions he faced.
"When I was at Notre Dame, when I'd talk to my administrators, I would hold my thumb and index finger a half-inch apart and say we were 'this close from being really great.' Then I'd hold up the same distance and say, 'But we're this close from being not too good,' " Mainieri said. "It's really difficult to be at a private school that is so expensive. An injury or a player not performing up to expectation can have a devastating effect on a team, particularly at a private institution where it's so hard to get them into school."
However, some private schools are flourishing, regardless of any recent rules changes. Vanderbilt is currently No. 3 in the country, and fellow Conference USA program Rice has appeared in 18 consecutive NCAA tournaments.
"I think the difference between the private schools that have fallen off, like Tulane and USC, and the ones that are dominating their leagues, is the enormous university endowments at their disposal," Baseball America's college reporter Aaron Fitt said. "Stanford, Rice and Vanderbilt use institutional aid to supplement their 11.7 scholarships, and it's the key. It's too hard to build depth and overcome recruiting misses without it."
Tulane's program isn't receiving the same level of university assistance as that powerful trio, Fitt said. Tulane president Scott Cowen declined to comment when asked via email for his assessment of the financial aid given to baseball players compared to those schools.
Still, the problems aren't entirely out of Jones' hands. Some of Tulane's most publicized recruits in the past five years never made the impact to match their investment, whether due to injury (like former ace pitcher Randy LeBlanc) or underperforming (like power hitters Jamie Bruno and Cody Robinson). Also, Tulane's current crop of struggling hitters features six starters who have been with the program for at least two years and have failed to boost the anemic offense.
"I know there are plenty of reasons why we aren't as good as we used to be, but there has to be a better way to do this," said Tulane season-ticket holder Tim Sweeney. "The games just aren't fun right now. I think the coaches could probably be better supported, but the buck stops with them. It's just really hard to go to the games and sit through it."
Jones, for his part, said he takes responsibility for the state of the program and is determined to return the Green Wave to the prominence it attained between 1994 and 2008, when it appeared in 12 NCAA Tournaments and made two trips to the College World Series.
But there are a lot of obstacles to overcome along the way.
"Nobody is more frustrated by this than I am because I live it every day," Jones said. "I've had some great fortune here at Tulane and things went well for a long time, but we've gotten hit by some things we haven't been able to overcome.
"It is my job to make sure we move past them and get ourselves back into not just NCAA tournaments again, but back in the discussion as a serious power. Once you compete at that top level, it's all you want to do. We have to get ourselves back there. I'm not stopping until we do."

text: SportS Africa pile on the runs The Proteas take a firm grip of the opening day of the first test against Pakistan in Dubai. 12 Nov 2010 15:54 GMT | Sport, Cricket, Pakistan, South Africa Graeme Smith led the charge with a dogged century as South Africa flayed the Pakistani bowling attack [AFP] South Africa has dealt to a listless Pakistan bowling attack by racking up a commanding 311-3 including captain Graeme Smith's 22nd Test century on day one of the first Test. Everyone in the top order, including opener Alviro Petersen (67), Hashim Amla (80) and Jacques Kallis (53 not out) helped themselves to a half-century on a benign pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium as South Africa made a commanding start to the test on Friday. Pakistan also suffered a major setback when Mohammed Yousuf had to pull out at the last moment because of a groin injury. Yousuf injured himself in practice just before the start of the game and has been advised to rest for 10 days, meaning he will miss the second of the two-test series as well. Intikhab Alam, Pakistan's manager confirmed: "Yousuf will fly back to Pakistan and will not be available for the second test in Abu Dhabi." Except for Umar Gul, none of the bowlers troubled the batsmen, and the only wickets to fall were due to the batsmen's failure to get on top of loose deliveries.Source: Associated Press

What are some bands/musicians that you seem to know about but are not as well known to the rest of the world? Post their stuff here and tell us why you like them. They can be a favorite or they can simply be some talented artists you appreciate.
(I'll post some that I appreciate right after this.)
Views: 48
First and foremost is...
Ladylike is a little old-style pop band from my sort-of-hometown of Tempe, AZ. They have a unique 50's style rock sound to them that's fun and unique. I like them better then most stuff that's popular nowadays and it's refreshing to hear something different. I'm friends with the lead singer of this band. You can learn more about them on their facebook page. They just released a new single you can purchase or listen to on Spotify.
The Spinto Band
This band is a little bit lesser known band that has some fun tunes. I wouldn't say they blow my mind or anything but I like how they use kazoos in some of their songs and what not.
When you first listen to Dragonforce you'd think you'd be hearing one of those rock bands from the 80s. It may come to some surprise that this band came together in 2007. (I think) What I like about Dragonforce is that it's ridiculous. And that's what makes it great. It doesn't try to sing rock ballads about bad break ups or lost love but about the heat of battle and fantasy stuff. It's like something you'd expect Jack Black to like. Ha ha. Beyond that though, there's some amazing guitar action in their songs. Enjoy.
Local Band....
The Burning Hell
