At the end of last year's soccer season, women's head coach and founder Pete Kowall decided to step down and hand over the reins. This summer, UIS Athletic Director Kim Pate hired Molly Grisham as the new head coach for the women's soccer team.
"I am pleased to announce the appointment of Molly Grisham as head women's soccer coach," said Pate. "Coach Grisham is the perfect person to take our women's soccer program to the next level. She has great energy and brings a broad range of coaching experience as well as a tremendous passion for coaching women's soccer. I was extremely impressed with Grisham's coaching philosophy – focused on developing student athletes to their potential. I look forward to the continued development of UIS Women's Soccer to a top contending DII program under Grisham's leadership," said Pate, according to the Prairie Stars' website.
Grisham comes to UIS from Wayne State College in Neb. after coaching there for four years. In 2010, Grisham earned Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Coach of the Year honors after her team recorded its first winning season since 2005. That same season, the program had its second-ever athlete selected to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Region team.
With a strong emphasis on success in the classroom, Grisham led three teams to earn NSCAA Academic honors, while improving the overall team grade-point average each season. Grisham gained international coaching experience in the summer of 2010 leading the USA Athletes International Women's Soccer Team in a trip to face club and collegiate teams in Argentina.
With a strong pull from the soccer communities in the Central Illinois area and the Great Lakes Valley Conference, Grisham has several goals in mind for the women's soccer team. "[I would like] to continue to improve every day, to build the team, and develop the program," she said.
In addition to Grisham, a familiar face will be returning to the women's soccer team, however – not to play. Former soccer player and alumna Erin Egolf was chosen by Grisham to be her new assistant coach. "Coaching is what I want to do and being the assistant coach at UIS is beneficial and close to home, and I am glad to be able to learn from Molly," said Egolf. "I am sad that I am not playing, but I believe that coaching is the next best thing that allows me to stay in touch with the game I love."
With Egolf's former player status, one might think it would be harder for her to coach. However, she believes that being a former player will be beneficial. "The girls have treated me like any other coach and being a former member of this team it gives me inside knowledge on the team and I really enjoy coaching so far." She added that what she enjoys the most about coaching is being able "to see the players meet for the first time, and seeing them bond and work together on the field. I am really excited to see what they to this upcoming season."
With a new coaching staff leading the way for UIS' women's soccer program, great things are to come from this dynamic duo and team.

New York City, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that it lowered its ratings on Petco Animal Supplies Inc., including lowering the corporate credit rating to 'B' from 'BB'. All ratings are removed from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on July 14, 2006.
On July 14, 2006, Petco accounted that it had entered into a merger agreement with affiliates of Leonard Green and TPG in a transaction valued at approximately $1.9 million. The company has $200 million of rated debt.
"The downgrade reflects a significant increase in financial risk following the LBO of the company," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Robert Lichtenstein.

Producer: Jean Huysmans
Album: Ball Of Eyes
Label: CBS
Amir: "Placebo is a legendary jazz group from Belgium. Not a lot of people have used that record, because it's super rare. Pete Rock used a piece of it, for this group he was producing for called The UN.
"I had to give him props, because it's not an easy record to get. It's a good song, but not something you'd necessarily want to sample. I don't know he was able to do it. He must have got the beginning and then went on to get something else.
Kon: "That's a record that Amir had doubles of, and we were gonna do a trade. That's like an $800 record to this day. Mock Mouland is the guy behind it. Another record that was light years ahead of its time. It's heavy jazz funk fusion, but it's pretty much like proto-hip-hop, the way the swing is and the shuffle and just how it bangs.
"Heavy clavinet, the Hohner D6 is all over that through little pedals and just got a lot of weirdo, experimental sounds come off that record. Amir sold that to the producer who produced Nelly. You know, the big Grammy, platinum, down south guy. I forget his name, but he is very into records. Amir calls me the next day and is like, 'Yo, you're going to hate me but I sold that record!'"

LONDON (Feb. 17)
A dramatic appeal to the British Government to permit shipments of food to the starving Jews in the Polish ghettos, similar to those recently sent to Greece, was voiced here today at a session of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
The appeal was made by H. A. Goodman, member of the Board and spokesman for the world executive of the orthodox Agudas Israel organization. He requested the Board of Deputies to approach the British Government in connection with securing such permission. Starvation among Jews in the Polish ghettos is as bad as that existing in Greece, he pointed out. Goodman added that he had good reasons to believe that the Polish Government would support such a request. He was assured by Prof. Selig Brodetsky, President of the Board, that the matter would be vigorously pursued.
A report reaching the Polish Government here today confirmed the fact that 165,000 Jews died in Poland in 1941. The report predicts that mortality among Jews in Poland will be much greeter this year. The proportion of Jewish dead in Poland is now 151 out of every 1,000 and even this high proportion is still rising, the report declared.
Authentic reports of the massacre of tens of thousands of Jews in Bessarabia, Bukovina and in the city of Jassy have been received by the Board of Deputies and were made public today by Prof. Brodetsky.
The reports reveal that among the thousands of Jewish victims were many who lost their lives in wholesale executions carried out by the Rumanian authorities. Many executions of Jews have taken place also in other sections of Rumania, the report declares.

These delicious recipes include brilliant creamless creamed corn and raw sweet corn chowder.
These delicious recipes include brilliant creamless creamed corn and raw sweet corn chowder.
Kevin Gillespie grates half of the corn here to make a luxurious puree that thickens without cream. He suggest scraping corn cobs with the dull side of a knife removes the juices.
Bobby Flay likes to cook corn on the cob with the husk tied back into a kind of handle. He soaks the bundle in cold water before it goes on the grill for two reasons: It steams the kernels a little, making them tender, and it prevents the husks from burning.
Chris Hastings uses fresh field peas, like black-eyed peas, in his succotash, but green peas are nicely sweet.
"Some corn puddings are really dense," says Katie Lee. "The egg whites here make this one lighter." The cornmeal in the recipe settles a bit in the bottom of the baking dish, almost creating a layer of corn bread under the moist, sweet pudding.
With its all-American ingredients, this New England-style chowder is a comfort-food classic. The soup needs only bread, or traditional oyster crackers, as an accompaniment.
Chef Ryan Pera uses fresh cilantro in his stellar tacos.
Sweet corn kernels take two different forms in these crispy cakes. Half the corn is pureed into the batter; the other half is sautéed with shiitake and onion to give the fritters crunch.
Stewart Woodman often serves savory waffles and pancakes with his dinners in place of rice or potatoes. Here, he pairs big, beautifully seared scallops with delectable corn pancakes.
Corey Lee's summery porridge is a cross between traditional Chinese congee and Italian risotto.
No one seems to know the exact definition of the popular Creole side dish maque choux, or smothered corn, but it has its roots in the classic southern recipe for skillet-fried corn.
Blogger Sara Forte of Sprouted Kitchen makes savory crepes as a delicious vegetarian main course.
Wolfgang Puck uses both creamy grated corn and sautéed kernels to make this satisfying soup, which he serves with a chile-spiked cream.
This sweet, tropical stir-fry is lightly flavored with cumin and Sriracha. Fresh pineapple is key, so pick up a few chunks at the salad bar if you don't want the whole fruit.
These crisp, light fritters taste like nothing but fresh lobster and sweet corn.
Marcia Kiesel likes to feature corn in main courses because "it's so substantial," she says, so she uses it here as a base for a decadent cheese soufflé, enhanced with smoky bacon.
Not only is yellow corn a good source of vitamin B, magnesium and thiamin, it also contains carotenoids (organic pigments with health benefits) not found in white corn. Ani Phyo likes to add a handful of vitamin A–rich spinach or soft lettuce to the chowder. "Then it becomes part-soup, part-salad," she says.
These delicate and slightly sweet fritters are deliciously flecked with cilantro leaves and held together simply by the starch in the corn. A dusting of flour just before they're pan-fried gives them a light, crisp crust. For a richer flavor, cook the fritters in unsalted butter instead of vegetable oil.
Pan-roasting the corn in olive oil before adding the rice deepens its flavor.
Garrett Weber-Gale blends fresh horseradish with rice milk and lemon juice to make a creamy, dairy-free dressing for very simply cooked vegetables.
Top Chef star Jeff McInnis ingeniously makes corn grits by grating the kernels from just-shucked ears to serve with his delicious sautéed shrimp.
Here's a great way to celebrate the abundance of summer corn. If you can't get good fresh corn, though, use three cups of frozen kernels, thawed, and put them directly into the food processor with the cream. Since frozen corn is parboiled, the heat of the pasta is enough to finish cooking it.

The Quotable Jefferson
Jefferson's Quote of the Day:
More than any other Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson made his reputation on the brilliance of his writing. John Adams chose the 33-year-old Jefferson to draft the Declaration of Independence largely because of his "masterly Pen." The genius of the Declaration and Jefferson's later writings amply confirmed Adams's judgment. Few writers have said so much on so many subjects--and said it so well--as Jefferson. The Quotable Jefferson--the most comprehensive and authoritative book of Jefferson quotations ever published--demonstrates that as does no other book.
Drawing primarily on The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, published by Princeton University Press, John Kaminski has carefully collected and cleverly arranged Jefferson's pronouncements on almost 500 subjects, ranging from the profound and public--the Constitution--to the personal and peculiar--cold water bathing.
The Quotable Jefferson is the first book to put Jefferson's words in context with a substantial introduction, a chronology of Jefferson's life, the source of each quotation, an appendix identifying Jefferson's correspondents, and a comprehensive index. The main section of Jefferson quotations, which are arranged alphabetically by topic, is followed by three other fascinating sections of quotations: Jefferson on his contemporaries, his contemporaries on him, and Jefferson on himself.
This book will delight the casual reader and browser, but it is also a serious and carefully edited reference work. Whatever the subject, if Jefferson said something memorable about it, you are likely to find it here.
"John P. Kaminski's work, the product of many years research and laborious editing, will help to familiarize readers with the world view of Jefferson, while placing his words in the correct context. The work, even in the light of the volumes on Jefferson already at hand, is a welcome addition for those wanting to understand the man in his own word."--Patrick McNamara, National Conservative Weekly
"This is an elegant collection of quotations. . . . For those who enjoy their history in tasty tidbits and colorful personal language, this is a great book to dip into."--Edmonton Journal
"This book will delight the casual reader and browser, but it is also a serious and carefully edited reference work. Whatever the subject, if Jefferson said something memorable about it, you are likely to find it here."--Spartacus Educational
"If your family library contains no volume on Jefferson, John Kaminski's The Quotable Jefferson would be the perfect place to start. Every quotation is attributed to its source and it seems impossible that any reader who browses these pages would not be enticed to go more deeply into the life and history of Thomas Jefferson and in doing so, into the very heart of the nation of which he was so able a founder."--Mary Garrett, The Advocate
"Succeeding admirably in condensing the best quotes from around twenty thousand letters, this book will awaken some readers to the wit and wisdom of Jefferson, and enable others to rediscover it. Here is Jefferson in his own words, without historians acting as intermediaries. It is very fortunate to have an editor of John Kaminski's caliber produce such an accessible and useful volume."--Andrew O'Shaughnessy, Saunders Director at the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello, author of An Empire Divided

01/24/13: BILL KNOWN AS STUDENT LOAN FAIRNESS ACT OF 2013 was proposed by Senator Durbin S.114 (introduction of bill found on page 6) Work now begins to rally the support for this Bill. EASY WAY TO COMMUNICATE YOUR SUPPORT OF S.114 - FAIRNESS FOR STRUGGLING STUDENTS ACT - simply type in your zip code under Take Action now and you'll be redirected to cut and paste letter to send to your senators
A House Bill has also been introduced as H.R. 532. This Bill, if approved, would make private loans dischargeable in Bankruptcy, as was the case prior to 2005. Please read: After bankruptcy, trapped by student debt.
October 25, 2011 Statement on New Steps by Obama Administration to Help Student Borrowers, Institute for College Access & Success, The Project on Student Debt
LAST SESSION: Bills proposing a change to Bankruptcy laws making PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS once again DISCHARGEABLE died without a vote.
CONSIDERING GOING TO SCHOOL AND BORROWING STUDENT LOANS? Check out White House website with statistical information on rates of graduation and default rates for 3 years post gradFind Your House Representative
Advice for individuals in financial trouble because of student loan debt is to please try and be involved. This may seem difficult, given all the stress and strain in facing default, but it is critical. There are groups and organizations looking for support to make positive changes for people who struggling with student loans:
Current Bankruptcy laws provide that all student loans (be it private loans or government backed federal loans) are not dischargeable, unless debtor proves in court that repaying the loans is "undue hardship". It is insufficient to file a bankruptcy case. A separate adversarial action must also be filed. The legal code does not include a definition of what is a "undue hardship". In each jurisdiction, Judges apply a test to the debtor's circumstances.
Most jurisdictions use a 3 prong test known as the Brunner Test named for a case Brunner v. New York State Higher Education Services Corp (46 B.R. 752). It requires that a borrower show 3 things:
(1) that the debtor cannot maintain, based on current income and expenses, a minimal standard of living for the debtor and dependents if forced to pay off student loans;
(2) that additional circumstances exist indicating that this state of affairs is likely to persist for a significant portion of the repayment period of the student loans; and
(3) that the debtor has made good faith efforts to repay the loans.
While on the surface it may seem like one could/would qualify, subsequent cases show that without a long term disability it is extremely difficult if not impossible to overcome the test in order to obtain dischargeability as Judges strictly rule on what is considered "good faith efforts" and "whether the state of affairs is likely to persist for a significant portion of the repaymetn period". Typically, people with income that does not exceed 150 percent of the poverty level are considered "low income individuals". But, don't forget the two other prongs of the test as all 3 must be met.
To paraphrase Senator Durbin the test says that the borrower needs to show "certainty of hopelessness" or prove that the future is likely to be as bad as the present, to qualify for an "undue hardship" exception to discharge student loans. Since the borrower must prove a negative, the only certainty is the hopelessness of their case. Dick Durbin: "Disgraceful" For Profit Industry Sucks Tax Dollars, Ruines Lives with Debt
Since the late 1970's, tuition has risen 900%, coupled with the current economic crisis, unemployment rates particularly among the 18-24 year olds, and the rising student loan balances, many recent graduates feel like they graduated off a cliff with monthly repayment equivalent to a typical mortgage on a starter home, leaving little to no room for housing expenses.
In a student loan discussion, it is important to distinguish between the different types of student loans. The first important distinction is between federal and private student loans. Many individuals with multiple loans may not be aware of which type of loans they hold and/or who is servicing them.
GET ORGANIZED: To obtain detail information about your federal loans: the number of loans, types, principal balances, repayment status, and the name & contact information for the entity servicing them go to National Student Loan Data System for Students
Federal loans offer several options for borrowers to avoid default. Two programs available since 2009, Income Based Repayment and Income Contingent Repayment are helping borrowers avoid default.
April 2010 Update
Important information regarding new student loan repayment options on federal student loans:
Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is a new way to make your federal student loan payments more manageable. And if you're a teacher or work in government or at a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization, you might qualify for a new type of public service loan forgiveness after 10 years of eligible payments and employment... (more info click here)
Applying for IBR
Note, even If you qualify, you will not be automatically placed into this program. To go into the program, you must actively apply for it. Contact your loan servicer (often the necessary forms are available online). You will need to include with your application some supporting documents. Read the instructions carefully. At minimum, you will probably have to provide an IRS form requesting that a transcript of your latest tax return be provided to the lender for scrutiny. Here is a form, but your loan servicer may have a different version available online: Form 4506-T
Depending on your circumstances, you might qualify for NO PAYMENT plan and avoid default. My advice is to send your paperwork registered mail to prevent claims that the application was not received. Particularly if your loan servicer is also handling your private student loans.
Under federal loans, borrower is considered to be in default when the loan payment becomes 180 days delinquent. Defaulting on Federal loans has serious consequences including wages and/or social security garnishment, bank levy, interception of tax refunds, inability to apply for additional financial aid, revoking professional licenses. Keep in mind, that if you have multiple loans with multiple loan servicing agencies, you will need to contact each agency separately or if possible apply for a consolidation.
One major distinguishing feature of these loans is that they are not government guaranteed. These are simply put, promissory notes, the proceeds of which were used to fund the borrower's education. Typically, these loans are used by students entering professional degree programs to fill in the gap between the cost of education and the maximum amounts provided under federal loan program.
Unlike, federal loans, which are guaranteed by the federal government, typical credit collection rules just like any other unsecured debt with one major exception. Unlike credit cards, the private student loans are not dischargeable in Bankruptcy except as discussed above.
As discussed above it is extremely difficult to obtain a discharge of student loans, regardless whether these are government guaranteed loans or private. Unless a petitioner prevails in an adversarial action during the pendency of their Chapter 7 case, the filing of the case does trigger protection of the "automatic stay". The lenders are supposed to cease any/all collection efforts until either a) a relief of stay motion is granted or b) the debtor's case closes post discharge or is dismissed. The creditors typically wait until the case closes and resume demands for payment.
Student loans, like credit card debt is considered an unsecured debt. As such, these creditors are paid the prorata share from the monthly Chapter 13 payments. Depending on your plan, that could mean little to no money will be received while the case remains open. Upon discharge and/or close of the Chapter 13 case, the creditors resume demands for payments.

Geof Stone on Welch v. Brown
Earlier this year, California enacted a law that defines as "unprofessional conduct" any effort of a "mental health provider" to engage in "sexual orientation change efforts with a patient under 18 years of age."
According to a report of a committee of the California Senate, sexual orientation change efforts (known as SOCE) include such practices as "electric shock or nausea inducing drugs administered simultaneously with the presentation of homoerotic stimuli" and "psychoanalytic therapy." The legislature found that such practices, when used in an effort to change a minor's sexual orientation, are both harmful to the patient and ineffective. It therefore prohibited their use.
Before the law took effect on January 1, 2013, several mental health providers who practice SOCE filed suit in federal court to enjoin the implementation of the new law on the ground that it violates their rights under First Amendment. In Welch v. Brown, federal district judge William Shubb, in a thoughtful opinion, agreed with the plaintiffs and held the law unconstitutional.
Although Judge Shubb's opinion was thoughtful, it was also, in my view, wrong on the law.

ActiveLED Auto Dealer Fixtures from Ringdale Deliver Over 100 Lumens Per Watt
GEORGETOWN, TX--Oct. 14, 2013: Ringdale, Inc., innovator in the application of solid-state technology and manufacturer of ActiveLED® commercial LED lighting fixtures, announces that ActiveLED fixtures have shattered LED lighting stereotypes experienced in the auto dealership market with durable, high-output fixtures delivering over 100 lumens-per-watt. Ringdale's patented lumen delivery method helps dealerships by enhancing illumination and replacing 1000-watt High-Intensity Discharge (HID) fixtures with 102-watt fixtures for a 90 percent energy savings.
Controlling operational expenses is a significant challenge for auto dealerships. While LED lighting can reduce energy consumption, the technology has not been fully embraced by the dealership market due to concern over LEDs' ability to reliably deliver the intense, bright light that dealerships need. Droop, failure, and lack of durability seen in many low-cost LED fixtures have hurt the industry as a whole. Ringdale, however, offers a different approach to the design of LED fixtures, proving that it is not the LED technology itself but rather the design and manufacturing process that determines quality and durability.
Klaus Bollmann, president of Ringdale and inventor of ActiveLED, explains, "Players from the lighting industry look at how to deliver light using data from their fluorescent or incandescent experience, or by purchasing wholesale components and assembling them in their housing. At Ringdale, we do more than assemble and market LED fixtures; we invent and manufacture the fixture as a whole, including internal components."
Barrett Motors, a premium car dealership in San Antonio, Texas, is just one of many ActiveLED success stories. Barrett reduced its monthly energy bill by $10,000 by converting just 59 fixtures to ActiveLED. ActiveLED's 10-year No Light Loss, Color Retention Warranty and proven installations offered a no-risk opportunity for the dealership to convert to LED. Barrett's exterior lot had fifty-nine 1,250-watt HID fixtures, consuming 73,780 watts per hour. Replacing these fixtures with fifty 102-watt SL-Series ActiveLED fixtures not only exceeded Barrett's lumen requirements but also provided significant savings in both energy and maintenance.
Recognizing how ActiveLED can change LED perceptions in the auto dealership market, Ringdale will begin marketing streamlined packages for a dealership's showrooms, offices, service bays, and exterior lots. ActiveLED is available through Ringdale's direct or through its network of resellers. For more information, visit the company online at ActiveLED or contact Ringdale in the United States at 512-288-9080 or in the United Kingdom at +44-1444-871-349.

Redefining cable IPTV Service Delivery
Offload IP-based video from the CMTS to provide economic benefit.
Despite market pressures to reduce service costs, there are new opportunities for service providers to implement software and incremental technologies into existing video delivery platforms and enable new services. By efficiently managing IP service traffic, incumbent service providers can gain operational efficiencies and quickly develop new services.
Internet traffic in the U.S., and globally, continues to grow at a rate between 50 to 60 percent annually, which strains high-speed data networks with congestion. This is particularly true of the DOCSIS cable modem termination system (CMTS), initially designed for high-speed Internet (HSI) service and adapted to work with VoIP services.
This congestion risk means that the CMTS, in particular, has the potential to be overloaded by IPTV traffic. Adding new CMTS equipment to handle the growth in IPTV is both expensive and has technical limitations, and in many cases it's impractical because of the lack of space at the distribution hub to accommodate expansion.
Figure 1: Re-routing IP video = significant financial advantages.
While DOCSIS has been a huge success in HSI for service providers, there are intrinsic issues with CMTS architectures and implementations that make them ill-suited for IPTV. The CMTS was designed for a set of traffic patterns associated with HSI and VoIP, but IPTV presents a completely different set of traffic patterns. Introducing IPTV onto the CMTS could threaten to disrupt cable's existing CMTS-based service revenue, and could require massive capital upgrades.
This article proposes an alternative that offloads IP-based video from the CMTS, to provide both an economic benefit to the operator, as well as a better technical solution for IPTV delivery to customers.
IPTV traffic will dwarf today's CMTS traffic, which consists of HSI and voice.
Qualitatively, consider the example of how QAMs are allocated on a typical 750 MHz HFC service group today. For DOCSIS services, there are generally two DOCSIS QAMs; over the next couple of years, with the advent of DOCSIS 3.0, this will grow to six to eight DOCSIS QAMs. On that same service group today, there are about 30 digital video QAMs to deliver digital simulcast, on-demand and switched digital video (SDV).
Over the next couple of years, with the continued reclamation of analog and the addition of more HD content and long-tail programming, this will grow to about 70 digital video QAMs. As can be seen in this transition, the ratio of video QAMs to DOCSIS QAMs stays around 10 to 1; in other words, there will likely be 10 times as much digital video traffic as there is DOCSIS traffic today. This ratio is expected to remain in place, even with the conversion to IPTV over HFC.
Quantitatively, consider the following example, which uses the assumption of all MPEG-4 programming in an IPTV environment. For data consumption, assume 500 homes passed, a 65 percent take rate of a 100 Mbps data service, and a peak concurrency of 0.5 percent. This results in a peak data rate of 162.5 Mbps (500 x 0.65 x 0.005 x 100 Mbps), or enough data to use four DOCSIS carriers operating at 256 QAM.
Compare this to unicast IPTV using the same service group of 500 homes passed, a 65 percent cable take rate, 50 percent peak viewing, and an average of 10 Mbps of MPEG-4 video consumption (one HD, one SD program) at peak rates. This works out to a peak delivered bit rate to that service group of 500 x 0.65 x 0.5 x 10 Mbps = 1.6 Gbps, or enough digital video to use up 42 carriers operating at 256 QAM. In this example, at peak rates, the IPTV service will require 10 times the QAM capacity of the 100 Mbps HSI service.
The concurrency between IPTV and HSI is what makes for the great discrepancy in bandwidth usage. IPTV services require continuous use and dedication of CMTS resources for the duration of the video, where with HSI services, CMTS resource usage is bursty.
Figure 2: CMTS offload strategy requires no new equipment.
IPTV delivery can be optimized because it is inherently one-way in nature. A CMTS is inherently a two-way device, and putting massive amounts of one-way IPTV traffic through a two-way CMTS is a non-optimal use of CMTS resources. IPTV traffic can be handed off directly to a low-cost, IPTV-capable edgeQAM without the need to encumber expensive CMTS resources with this traffic.
Additionally, there are two key issues that deal with how a CMTS performs multicast stream replication for linear IPTV programming. First, existing video networking solutions have proven that program replication can be done in a low-cost edgeQAM. This is an alternative approach to using expensive CMTS resources to replicate the massive amounts of IPTV programming traffic. This function can also be accomplished in a low-cost, SDV-capable edgeQAM.
The second key issue involves the fidelity of program replication. The CMTS includes an IP router and handles a litany of functions, including necessary DOCSIS subscriber management functions. As a result, the CMTS is designed to occasionally drop packets when other processes need resources, or when congestion occurs. Dropping packets is a normal occurrence in a CMTS, and with Web surfing or e-mail, higher layer protocols in the IP stack retransmit lost packets so the user does not notice. Digital voice customers don't notice this packet loss because customer premises equipment is designed to conceal occasional packet loss.
However, with unidirectional, high-bandwidth IPTV traffic, neither retransmission nor concealment is available. A dropped video packet means macroblocking on the TV screen at a minimum, and several seconds of black screen at worst. As IPTV traffic increases, the effects of dropped video packets will multiply, causing operational issues.
EdgeQAMs are excellent at stream replication and have been performing this function for years. It is more efficient and economical for an edgeQAM to put an IPTV header on the unidirectional IPTV flows than a CMTS.
The modular CMTS (M-CMTS) specifications were written to enable the use of low-cost edgeQAMs as DOCSIS downstreams for wideband HSI delivery. However, the M-CMTS specs don't address the issues related to IPTV delivery.
Furthermore, with M-CMTS, the multicast program replication and DOCSIS header encapsulation still take place in the M-CMTS core, not in the edgeQAMs. Centralizing all of the processing, and thus increasing the load in the M-CMTS core, increases the probability of IPTV packet drops that impact the customer experience. The M-CMTS specifications may address wideband data, but they do not address the issues associated with IPTV delivery – either from an economic or video quality standpoint.
There is more than one way to implement an IPTV strategy, and using proven video networking infrastructure is a cost-effective approach.
Implementing an IPTV solution on top of existing video networking platforms makes sense because of the similarities between video networking and IP. Key to both solutions is the replication of a linear program for delivery to multiple QAM service groups, and video networking does this much more economically, and with better fidelity.
Delivering IPTV using an existing video control plane, with simple modifications to support IPTV, is a lower-risk and more scalable approach as compared with using a CMTS. By extending the existing video control plane, the technology leverages proven solutions that can enhance the customer experience with features like fast channel changes. IP-based video can be delivered at a lower total cost of ownership by leveraging existing network components. For example, in a switched environment, IP video delivery can be implemented simply with a software upgrade.
Designed to provide massive scalability with the highest levels of reliability and the most open platform for third-party interoperability, video networking solutions provide cable operators with tools to increase competitive service differentiation, improve subscriber satisfaction and maximize profitability.

About the Piece
String Quartet No. 1, Op. 41
Last Modified:
1841 began happily for Schumann, spending the first months of the year on tour with his celebrated pianist-wife, Clara. But he was becoming painfully aware of being always in her shadow and he decided to return to their home in Leipzig – ostensibly to work on his publication Neue Zeitschrift für Musik. "Schumann," writes Gerald Abraham, "spent this period of separation in deep melancholy which he tried to drown in beer and champagne, unable to compose... brooding over the possibility of taking Clara to America, while Wieck (Clara's father: Schumann's former teacher who had been opposed to their marriage...) spread a rumor that the pair had parted." From April to June, Robert studied the quartets of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven.
Four years earlier he had already been thinking about writing quartets, completing several sketches or movements and writing to his future wife, Clara: "The thought of quartets gives me pleasure. The piano is getting too narrow for me. [Although he would later devote nearly two full years to writing music for solo piano.] In composing now I often hear many things I can barely suggest. For instance, I now invent almost everything canonically and never discover the imitating voices until afterward... in inverted rhythms, etc." But the enthusiasm was short-lived. He put the quartet sketches (since lost) aside in favor of songs, piano music, and, in 1841, chamber music.
The first quartet was started on June 4, the second on June 11, before the first one was complete. The third quartet was written between July 8 and 22. All three were premiered on September 13, as a present for Clara on her 23rd birthday.
Of the occasion, the theorist and composer Moritz Hauptmann wrote to fellow composer Ludwig Spohr, "at David's [violinist Ferdinand David, Mendelssohn's friend and foremost interpreter] I heard three quartets by Schumann. His first [the present work in A minor], which delighted me immensely, made me marvel at his talent. I had previously judged it from his earlier piano pieces, things so aphoristic and fragmentary, sheer reveling in strangeness. Here too there's no dearth of the unusual in content and structure, but it is cleverly conceived and held together, and a great deal of it is very beautiful."
The A-minor Quartet opens with suggestions of Bach (some listeners hear late, mystical Beethoven as well) – perhaps the canonic studies previously referred to – in evidence. The second movement has been called by Schumann biographer Robert Haven Schauffler "one of the most exciting and successful movements of its kind in the quartet literature. It gallops along like a wild horseman. The third displays Schumann's gifts as a songwriter, while the fourth movement concludes the quartet with all the brio one would expect of this most romantic of Romantic composers."

Campaign of the Month: June 2011
Shattered Gateway (Hiatus) ~ CotM Award JUNE 2011
Character Creation and Starting Packages
All characters start with a base 10 points in every ability score. Players are allotted 30 additional ability points to assign where they wish. No stat may be higher than 18 before racial modifiers.
Characters may choose any class and race from the core rules Player's Guide 3.5. Feats & Skills chosen must also be from the core rules. Standard starting packages for each class apply at time of creation. All characters, regardless of race or class will be of noble lineage, and as such may multiply the starting gold allotment by 10 when buying standard gear. Specific lineage and any applicable titles will be determined by the DM after the character has been created.
Characters may choose from the following alignments only: lawful good, neutral good or chaotic good. Character's will be well educated, and from the upper class.
Each character may choose one base weapon type as an heirloom item. The weapon type chosen must be melee and crafted of metal (no wood/ranged) The chosen weapon type will result in a + 3 (+ 1 / 5 Character Levels) weapon with 2 randomly generated special abilities (Per the DM's guide). The wielder of the weapon also gains a 90% immunity to all psionic effects. These weapons can be used by the assigned character only, and are simple + 1 weapons for any others who might use them. If the character has an alignment shift, then the weapon is a simple + 1 weapon until the character's alignment is restored to it's original state. For each 5th level gained by the character one more new random ability will be added to the weapon. Note: The special abilities will always be generated and assigned by the DM.
The heirloom weapons have been passed down generation to generation through the character's family. Their origin is unknown and can be traced back as far as the family lineage can be followed. The weapons seem to choose for themselves which family member will inherit them as they will only work for one person in each generation. If line of succession is broken, the weapons will still work for another of the bloodline, but only within the next generation. The weapons are sentient and intelligent, and more details will be provided on this to each individual Player by the DM.

Women-owned businesses are growing, but women's progress on corporate boards is extremely low. This is not because women chose not to be there; on the contrary, they apply to jobs in management, though most of them show lack of confidence and are unable to overcome "structural" obstacles. Women need to get used to remove the perception of barriers and need to see themselves as capable of succeeding in any job. The truth is that most women don't think they can get top jobs.
Boards of Directors exist to help management develop business strategies and to set policy objectives. In Western countries, women purchase around 80 % of all products and services, so female members can contribute to more effective corporate decisions. For women, board membership provides an opportunity to test ideas, but also to get better wages and schedule flexibility. It may seem not that obvious, but for companies quotas can be an added value, bearing in mind that in the light of current international crisis and corporate scandals, companies face growing pressure for more accountability and responsibility. In that context, board assignments have become ethically vital. In a certain way, board performance is rated by society.
Nevertheless, glass ceilings have often been used as a metaphor to explain the limited participation of women on boards, not to mention the pay gap between men and women. Furthermore, a growing number of studies suggest gender balanced boards have the potential to improve the financial performance of companies.
The EU's competence to legislate in gender equality matters dates back to 1957. The European Parliament has called many times for legislation on equality in business leadership.
Today the Commission is proposing EU legislation to accelerate progress towards a better gender balance on the corporate boards of European companies. The proposal was presented jointly by Commissioners Reding, Tajani, Almunia, Rehn, Barnier and Andor.
The Directive proposed today sets an objective of a 40% presence of women among non-executive directors of companies listed on stock exchanges by 2020. These companies will have to appoint women to those positions according to their qualifications and applying gender-neutral criteria.
This means that given equal qualification, priority shall be given to the women, currently the under-represented sex. The proposal also includes a "flexi quota", an obligation for listed companies to set themselves individual, self-regulatory targets.
The proposal is expected to apply to around 5,000 listed companies in the European Union, but it does not apply to SMEs (companies with less than 250 employees and an annual worldwide turnover not exceeding 50 million EUR).
Though 11 Member States (Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Austria and Slovenia) have introduced legal instruments to promote gender quality on company boards, currently just 1 in 7 board members (13.7%) at Europe's top companies is a woman.
There are big differences between countries, with women making up 27% of board members in the largest Finnish companies and 26% in Latvia, but only 3% in Malta and 4% in Cyprus.
The problem with this is that, in fact, there is a legal fragmentation approach that risks the proper functioning of the Single Market, as different company law rules and sanctions for not complying with gender balance laws can lead to complications for businesses or cross-border investments.
It's remarkable that qualification and merit will remain the key criteria for a job on the board, but the Directive establishes a minimum harmonisation of corporate governance requirements, so today's proposal seeks to create an EU-wide framework for such positive action rules.
In this sense, the Commission considers this action is temporary, and will not be necessary once the progress has been achieved. So the EU law will act as an incentive for companies and for women, contributing to a raise in their employment rate across the European Union. So this Directive goes far beyond the role models, it offers greater opportunities for talent.

Ossuary of James brother of Jesus found?
Check out the following article in the current issue of Christianity Today which can be accessed at -
Note in the article of this predominately Protestant magazine James is listed as the YOUNGER brother of Jesus. Also reference is made to -
Matthew: 13:55-56 which indicate that Jesus had four younger brothers and sisters.
I know that I have always been taught, and also believe that these so called brothers and sisters were in fact step brothers and sisters from Joseph's first marriage. Which makes the makes the assertion that James was a younger brother quite disturbing. Any comments?
Well, even Protestants can't weasel their way around the fact that Christ was Mary's firstborn. In their mind, the only way James could be a natural brother of our Lord would be for him to be a younger brother.
Of course, they have it wrong. Jesus was Mary's one and only son.
There are quite a few gems of journalism in that article, especially the one about the identity of James according to Protestant scholars. The first sentence of that paragraph makes no sense.
--- Quote --- 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
--- End quote ---
The verse in Matthew doesn't say anything about the "brothers" and "sisters" being younger. That is an assumption made by the Protestants since they think Joseph and Mary had sex and other children. There isn't any evidence, biblical or non-biblical, that any of the "brothers" or "sisters" are the children of Mary.

Lindsay Lohan Is Smoking Meth, Crack, Says Michael Lohan
I don't even have to write anything, do I?
Michael Lohan must owe a metric shit-ton of child support again because he's reverted back to his old habit of shoving his face in the press to expose as many details about Lindsay Lohan as he can while the iron's hot. This time around, he followed up yesterday's court hearing by going on Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell and saying Lindsay's teeth (Which she's since fixed.) are the result of smoking crack and/or meth. Via RadarOnline:
"That's from smoking a pipe with meth or crack," Michael said about Lindsay's brown teeth. When Velez-Mitchell asked him to clarify what he meant he point blank said his daughter is abusing illegal drugs.
"She's smoking either crack or meth, one or the other. I'm not going to shade it."
… "You can't dance with the devil and expect to go home with Jesus."
You can, however, kick a vagina and be invited over for brunch. That's in the Bible.

Demand for Colts tickets
The Indianapolis Colts take on their AFC South rival, the Tennessee Titans, Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium. Kickoff for that game is at one o'clock. There's a big change in the team this year with a new quarterback, new players, and new coaches. It's a combination that's working for the Colts and their fans.
Don Higgs is a big fan of the Colts: "I think they can win the Super Bowl right now this year."
Higgs says he's not a "bandwagon" fan. He and his wife have had season ticket from the very beginning.
Colts fans will remember the first game of the NFL season. The Colts and their new quarterback, Andrew Luck, opened the season in Chicago with a loss. The new era for the Colts didn't look so bright. That same day, we challenged Colts fans to grade the teams performance and the grades were not always passing after that Week 1 game.
"I really didn't have a lot of hopes for them in the first year of the rejuvenation."
Again, it was the same sentiment a lot of Colts fans shared during the pre-season and through most of September. Remember when team management were concerned that home games would not sell out? That's because if there wasn't a sell-out, the Colts games would not be broadcast on local TV. The city, the team and the fans were all braced for a tough year.
Circle City Tickets, like a lot of people, were expecting Colts ticket sales to be flat this year. There are two homes games remaining in the season, and now, fans are starting to show up with money in hand looking for tickets.
Suggested Links
Angelo Peduto works for Circle City Tickets: "A lot of the tickets are still going at face value or a bit over face value, but not like it was say three years ago."
Tickets are available for both of the last two Colts homes games.
However, the last game when head coach Chuck Pagano is expected back on the field , could be a tough ticket to get.

Has the dumpee ever, to the dumper's surprise moved on faster than the dumper? If so why did it surprise you? I was dumped about a month ago and have met a guy that has literally swept me off my feet since then. The ex is a friend on fb and I know he has most likely seen the pictures of us. Just something I was curious about..
Most Helpful Guy
Okay I'll try and tell you a story now, lol. Bear with me if I get the wrong end of your stick or go off topic or something - I'm known to do that quite often.
Once, when I was young, I had this girlfriend, who I had met online, funnily enough. Well, I met like three girls at once actually, and I hit it off well with all of them, but this girl asked me out first, and I said yes. I was new to relationships back then, lol, so I was actually swept off my feet.
During this time I got to talking to the other two, and I realized that one of them rocked, one of them was...strange, and the one I was going with wasn't really my type of person. But I'm a nice guy and I didn't want to break up with the relationship, and I was also generally too frightened to ask the girl I liked out, in case she took offense or said no, the crushing pain of denial.
Anyway...the girl I was with at the time, decided to stop really caring and started ignoring me, even going as far as to simply respond with 'k' or similar, and stopped talking to me as soon as she came online. I was getting tired of the relationship, and then one day when I signed in she invited me to a conversation with another guy, and revealed to me for the last two weeks (we'd been 'together' like three months) she had been enjoying spending time with her real boyfriend, who up until two weeks ago had been spending time in prison for assault.
Meh. Long story short, she decided to dump me there, with her boyfriend adding sniping comments. I won't go on about what was said, but I didn't go out politely, I'll tell you that. The last thing she actually messaged me was 'Go away!' and I responsed with 'Gladly!' and then..that was it. I cut all ties, except the fact she knew my mobile number.
Then I started up a relationship with the other girl, the girl I am now engaged to and in love with more than anything. She swept me off my feet, and I gave her butterflies, and our relationship just blossomed. But that is talking of the present.
About two months into my relationship with her, the ex started texting me with messages about 'being friends' again. I unblocked her email adress and sent an email, not willing to add her to MSN proper, again. She informed me her boyfriend had gone inside yet again for assault, again. Course, I'll never know if she was simply trying to hurt me, but I was nasty back to her and said, pretty much, enjoy the pain you are in, because it's what you deserve. She had hurt me pretty hard, at the time, anyway.
Hmm. So I'm guessing it is very possible for the dumper to be worse off than the dumped, when it comes to break up. I'm a living example...I think so myself, anyway. :)
I hope I got your question right, lol. Hope it made sense, too. :)00|00|0
It made perfect sense. :) It actually makes me feel a lot better about the whole situation. I was a great girlfriend, I never hurt him or anything. Loved him unconditionally like I was supposed to but he couldn't do the same in turn...simply because he was too damn lazy to do it. Just to prove how lazy he was he didn't get me ANYTHINHG for Valentines day. He didn't make me anything...NOTHING. I actually had to give him gas for that day so he could even come and see me. It was just terrible.
- Show AllShow Less
Yeah, it's over. However I still have not gotten my belongings back from him. Its been three weeks now since I requested he return my belongings. He still has not given them back to me, but I am going to just forget about it. I already have a new boyfriend and I couldn't be any happier. :D
Just tell him you understand why he's being so spiteful, but you think it's kind of childish.
Or tell him you understand why he's still clinging to you, but he really does need to let you go. (in a soothing, patronising voice.)
It'll probably cause him to destroy your stuff, at which point, since you don't care anymore, you should simply congratulate him. :)
And yay! Good luck with your new relationship. :)

When an automotive molder wanted to upgrade from primer painting to multi-color coating, a big concern was costly downtime and material waste during frequent color changes. Disposal of solvent flushing chemicals was another potential obstacle. For this molder, a "piggable" piping system was the central element in designing an automated paint line that allows use of multiple colors on demand, with less solvent usage, paint waste, and color-change time than with conventional systems.
"Piggable" paint systems are used by captive car and truck paint operations but are not typical for a custom molder like Continental Structural Plastics (CSP). Based in Troy, Mich., it is reportedly the largest North American compression molder of thermoset SMC and thermoplastic GMT automotive composites.
The "piggable" option is used at CSP's Carey, Ohio, facility. The challenge was to upgrade from applying just a primer coat to multi-color finishes. The change was spurred by new contracts for the entire front hood assembly of the Hino medium-duty truck from Toyota's Hino Diesel Trucks Div.
Explains paint operation manager Chris Twining, "We painted non-conductive parts with a conductive primer using conventional and electrostatic and air-atomized guns mounted on robots in a high-volume automated system. We now required reliable two-component flow control, total paint supply flexibility, and optimal performance."
A.B. Myr Industries of Belleville, Mich., which specializes in industrial finishing systems, engineered and installed an upgraded system that allows parts to be coated with a primer or one of four paint colors as they pass through the paint spray booth. The system continuously recirculates paint to supply it at a steady rate free of pulsations and fluctuations. The system supports "piggable" pipeline cleaning to enable fast color changes and virtually eliminate waste. It also automatically heats or cools the paint as needed and reduces overspray by more than 50% through improved grounding and replacement of spray guns with rotary bells.
Results have been dramatic, says Twining. "We are now producing significantly improved wave, gloss, and color. Paint-related defects have diminished. Uptime and throughput have increased, and most overspray has been eliminated." All this was achieved with 25% reduction in paint usage.
CSP's new 400-ft paint line incorporates four piggable paint systems, each able to handle primer and three colors at a time, plus a hardening agent for the two-component paints. Each color has its own pumping system and piping network and is available for color changes several times a day.
The system minimizes color-change time and waste by recovering over 96% of the paint during each change and using less than 1 gal of solvent per change. Color changes in non-piggable systems can waste up to 6 gal of paint and a high volume of solvent.
The pig is a bullet-shaped polyurethane foam object that is shot through the paint system at the end of a color run with compressed air and a minimal amount of solvent to force paint out of the lines. The pig travels through the entire line in about 30 sec. Its O.D., typically 0.5 to 0.75 in., is slightly larger than the I.D. of the tubing to be cleaned, which ensures a good seal against the tubing wall. After the purge, a short burst of air and solvent through the system picks up the traces of paint left by the pig.
Special valves allow the pig to pass through the color-change manifold. Air-tight, quick-disconnect fittings and integrated pig launch and retrieval help cut color-change time to less than 15 min.

Singer Sheryl Crow, 50, was spotted with her adorable 5-year-old son Wyatt in New York City on Sunday (September 9). Sheryl was seen talking on her cellphone as the duo headed for lunch.
The following day, Sheryl made an appearance on Katie, Katie Couric's new talk show where Sheryl's boys – including 2-year-old son Levi – joined the famous friends backstage.
While chatting with Katie, Sheryl talked about her recent diagnosis with a brain tumor. The Soak up the Sun singer is convinced it's from excessive cellphone use.
"I [used to spend] hours on the old, archaic cellphones," Sheryl said on Monday's episode of Katie.
However, there is little evidence linking cellphone use to brain tumors, and most studies have not found a link.View Slideshow »»


text: To fully put the fourth quarter of 2008 into perspective, consider that between 1950 and 2007, a 57-year period, the S&P 500 experienced a total of 19 daily moves in excess of 5%. In that troubling period in 2008, we experienced 16 during a single quarter. But that was not the end of the volatility. During the first half of 2009, the S&P 500 had another 72 days that it rose or fell at least 1%. Including the fourth quarter of 2008, of the 188 trading days over those three consecutive quarters, there were 122 days of plus or minus 1% moves, or nearly two of every three days. I don't ever want to experience that type of volatility again; I doubt there are many investors who would. The truth is, I don't know what's ahead for the markets either. We've seen some disappointing earnings numbers recently and the geniuses in Washington have done nothing to address the specter of the "fiscal cliff," so I understand the uncertainty. But I don't understand the logic utilized in declaring a market meltdown with a 3% decline in the S&P 500 over 3 days. Telling viewers how much they "lost" in their 401K's in a single down day does a disservice to investors in the same way telling them how much they'd "gained" after an up day. Sensationalism at its worst. Follow @JonMHellerCFA This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Baby talk: teaching babies to communicate
Long before babies can talk, they are able to communicate in a multitude of ways. Infant communication is shown through eye contact, reciprocal smiling and the use of hand gestures such as pointing, giving, pushing away, raising their arms, showing, reaching, waving, and shaking and nodding their head.
Indeed, from a very early age, both babies and children have a very strong desire to bond, communicate and connect with those around them, says Professor Kate Taylor from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, who conducts research in children's language development.
Nature has wired parents and babies with vastly satisfying ways of communicating from the beginning of life. "Parents only have to wait for three weeks to experience their infant's first social smile – even at this early age babies coo in response to conversation," she says.
How do babies communicate?
The following, Professor Taylor says, are ways in which babies communicate with their parents, and at what stage of development they generally do it:
- From birth, infants communicate emotions such as interest, distress and displeasure.
- At 12 weeks, babies engage in conversation – when their parents respond verbally to their vocalisations, they re-vocalise.
- At around three months, parents and babies focus on each other and on what is happening around them.
- By three to four months, babies understand routines such as feeding and soon let parents know if there is an unexpected and unwelcome change in a routine such as feeding. At this age, babies participate in games such as 'peekaboo' and 'this little piggy.
- By five months, babies imitate their parents' vocalisations and simple gestures to show pleasure, displeasure, satisfaction, anger and eager anticipation.
- At around seven months, babies listen to familiar words, follow simple instructions, and play close attention to objects and events that their parents focus on.
- Between eight and 12 months, they vocalise when they gesture and by 12 months children say their first words.
How to help your baby communicate
Professor Taylor says parents can help babies develop language by following their lead:
- Talk about what interests your baby – by following your baby's eye gaze (ie, looking at what your baby is looking at).
- Talk about what your baby feels and thinks – by watching your baby's face and listening to the sounds your baby makes.
- Talking about what your baby does – by watching your baby's actions and gestures.
- Help your baby understand your words – by using eye contact, facial expressions, actions and gestures.
- Take it in turns to communicate - give your baby time to use their sounds, facial expressions, actions and gestures to communicate to you.
- Copy your baby – babies love it when you use their sounds, facial expressions, actions and gestures – do what they do.
- Keep your sentences short.
- Emphasise important words.
- Sing songs together – songs you know and songs you make up for your baby.
- Look at books together – read the story and make up your own story.

AUBURN HILLS, MICH. – With his left ring finger locked rigid by a splint and wrapped in thick layers of blue medical tape, Nick Young watched Friday as jumper after jumper angled away from the target.
"It was hard for me to guide my shot," the Lakers top bench scorer said after shooting 3 for 12. "Everything was short for me today."
After spraining a joint in the finger two nights earlier in Brooklyn, Young wasn't going to offer his usual offensive aid. Instead, Wesley Johnson and Shawne Williams carried that load for the Lakers in their 106-102 win over the Detroit Pistons, each making six 3-pointers.
So, Young did something he'd never done in his seven-year career: He won the game on defense.
"It's funny," Johnson said, "because everybody jokes around with Nick, because Nick doesn't play defense and that. But he showed his colors tonight."
With seconds ticking away, the Lakers leading, 104-102, and Detroit's Josh Smith driving toward the rim, Young stood his ground and drew his first game-saving charge.
"Oh man, that felt good to do that for my team," Young said. "I was in a situation where … I had to. Anything to win."
Johnson led all scorers with 27 points, while Williams added 20 and 9 rebounds.
A first-year Laker, Young has made a point of adding defense to his repertoire, Coach Mike D'Antoni said, studying game film and working closely with coaches.
"He's found a different way to win," D'Antoni said, "and I can't say enough about him."
The charge salvaged a win after the Lakers trailed by nine in the fourth quarter and allowed a mind-boggling 76 points in the paint. At halftime, 48 of the Pistons 55 points had come in the paint. The other seven were free throws.
When the travel-weary Lakers arrive to practice Saturday morning and D'Antoni harps on interior defense, maybe Young — of all people — will get a pass.

Ask Computer Networking Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Yeah we thought that might be the case, but we already had the previous model, this is now the second printer, same problem, i doubt both are defective in the same way?Have also called BT and they say that if other wifi devices are working then its nothing to do with their equipment.
Morning! OK so another reset of the router and yay it came back....but only for a minute, managed to print one email and then dropped off again - :( grrrrrr. BUT i have now moved the printer, theres not many places in the room where a printer can go so i initially chose the spot closest to the router and away from as many electrical and metal objects as possible, now its a little further away but still well within the spec range of 50m (although i know this is rarely achievable in a house full of tech/brick/metal etc) and its right next to a metal filing cabinet, which i avoided before, but its now been on for 15 minutes, i've printed 3 pages from 3 devices, holding my breath with fingers crossed :)
OK so its much better now ive moved it but its still dropping out so it must just be on the edge of its range, thats pretty poor as my ipad picks up the network there just fine and they are notoriously crap for range. its only approx 15m from the router through 1 brick wall and 1 wooden floor. but i still find it strange that everytime i search for the network on the printer it sees it straight away but for some reason the signal isnt strong or consistent enough to stay connected to it....hmmmm...i'll have to keep experimenting with the position, maybe i'll try just putting it in the hall next to the router for a day and see if it works there ok, then i know for sure its just out of range or suffering some interference from something, i've moved phones and everything else away from both it and the router as much as possible. i'll let you know later if i have any further results.
I did have a repeater when we had Virgin internet, but now we're on BT it wont work anymore because the BT router changes channels automatically to avoid interference with the neighbours both sides and the church behind us (who have some mighty powerful signal) so the repeater wont pickup the router when it changes channel, i did turn that function off and have a fixed channel but because the 3 routers around me are obviously on automatic too there were some days when it would clash, we had a BT engineer round and thats what he deduced too and said I had to run it on automatic. I've started installing Ethernet cable but its a lot of time and effort and i havent got it to the upstairs yet, got it out in the garden shed now - best internet in the whole house :)Once i get that through the floors and upstairs all my worries will be over :)
If I may put in my opinion: the situation, now that it is fully explained, does account for the occasional failure of the signal connection between printer and router:1. the router is shifting channels, "because the BT router changes channels automatically to avoid interference with the neighbours both sides and the church behind us (who have some mighty powerful signal)"2. it is a BT router with that capability3. the printer is not designed to shift channels - ? - I would think not, not automatically at any rate, and so loses the connection when such a shift occurs, and/or also4. the nearby signal interference, plus brick walls, metal filing cabinet, etc., without doubt produces a complex pattern of mostly unworkable signal space... in fact, a tedious process of finding the right spot for the printer *after* disabling automatic channel switching, might be the only way of getting a wireless (emphasis: Wireless) connection to the printer working reliably. So putting in a hard-wire to it, might be the only way to get the printer reliable by wireless, unless it is sited very near the BT router.Also 5. (to comment on Expert Chris' opinion:) the BT router's automatic signal switching would have to be disabled, in order for the range extender he suggested to work. And frankly, it might not work all that well, what with signal interference factors mentioned in (4) above.(Since I am by and large in agreement with Expert Chris, and I gave up the case before, I am not presenting this as an Answer, just as an addition to the case and its (hopefully) conclusion.)
I dont think its because of the changing channels or wouldnt it be just as bad now as it was before? I didnt need to choose a channel for the printer it just picks up the network just as any laptop/phone/ipad does, except it seems not as well as any of those, which is poor considering how shocking the ipad 1 wifi is and that works fine all over the house. it certainly seems to be a range issue as now ive moved it down by the router it seems to be stable, unfortunately having a printer in the hall behind the front door is not much use to me. Would have been much better if BT had installed more centrally in the house rather than at the front door.I would have come to this conclusion straight away if the printer had not been seeing the network but it did, every time i checked.Aaaaaaanyway i guess the issue has become clear and as I said i will continue to cable up the house. Thanks for riding it out with me and for your suggestions, helps the brain work things out by just talking to someone that understands what I'm going on about rather than the blank expressions around the house :)All the best to yaRuss

Former Gateway coach, athletic director sues district for racial discrimination
A former athletic director and head football coach claims in a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday that Gateway School District's board forced him to resign in January because he's black.
Terry M. Smith, 44, of Churchill says in the lawsuit that the board began retaliating against him after he filed racial discrimination claims with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2010. The retaliation escalated until, in June 2012, the board cut his position to part-time and eliminated the position of his assistant, who is also black, the lawsuit says.
Smith, now an assistant coach at Temple University, is seeking back pay and other compensatory and punitive damages. A district spokeswoman couldn't be reached for comment.

Direct Second Year Admissions
Related Topics:
Most of the diploma colleges in Maharashtra admit students via Centralised Admission Process (CAP). However, following colleges do not participate in CAP, but conduct separate admissions and you need to apply to each of them separately.
- DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai
- Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management & Engineering, Mumbai
- Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai
The DTE's site mentions the dates for each of the procedures given in the following steps:
1. Go to the website http://www.dte.org.in/dse13. Fill up the online application form there itself and take its printout. You will have to fill in some personal details such as your name, date of birth, SSC Marks etc. Nothing related what colleges you wish to take at this stage.
2. Go to your nearest Application form Receipt Centre (ARC) with the documents mentioned (original and attested copies) and submit the form. They will give you a STAMPED printout of the form.
3. Check out the provisional merit list displayed on the DTE's site and ensure that all your details are correctly specified in the list. If there is any discrepancy, then go to the ARC on the specified dates and get it corrected.
4. Check out the final merit list displayed along with your State level rank, Home University Rank, Category Rank, JEE (earlier AIEEE) Rank.
5. After this you'll have to fill in the option form for CAP Round 1. An addition here is that you have to report to the ARC in person and confirm the submission of your online option form.
WARNING: Be very careful while filling the Round 1 form, because if you get a seat from any of the first 3 choices you have submitted, then you are not eligible for further CAP rounds irrespective of whether you take admission in that particular college AND field or NOT. You can, however, choose to not take admission if you get into any of the options 4-100, and you will still be eligible for the second round.
8. Provisional allotment list is then displayed on the site.
9. If you have been allotted a seat in one of your first 3 choices then report to the particular college. You are not eligible for further CAP rounds and have to compulsorily take admission in that particular college AND field. If you don't, you're out of CAP and are left with very few options such as the exceptional colleges mentioned above or one of colleges through Institute Level seats or Minority quotas (if eligible).
10. An institute-wise vacancy list is displayed on the site after each CAP round.
11. If you have not been allotted a seat or have been allotted a seat in one of the 4-100 options and you did not secure admission in it, then you can fill another option form online, i.e, CAP Round 2. This time again you can fill up to 100 choices (you can fill new options or even repeat the same options as round 1), but you HAVE to accept admission wherever you get it. You can't say NO in round 2.
12. Even after round 2, if you haven't got a seat then there is CAP round 3.
If you still wish to do engineering, then be prepared to go to AURANGABAD because round 3 is held at Govt. College of Engineering, Aurangabad. It is definitely not advisable to wait this long. In round 3 all the vacant seats are pooled together and students are called one by one (in order of merit) and asked to choose his/her college & field from whatever few seats that remain vacant till round 3.
There are a total of three CAP rounds from the year 2012-12, which are quite nicely tabled here.
|CAP Round No.
|No. of Options
|Explanation / Remarks
|Round 1
|Min. 1 and Max. 100
1-3: admission has to be taken. Student is not eligible for further CAP rounds.
4-100: admission need not be confirmed. Student is eligible for further rounds.
|Round 2
|Min. 1 and Max. 100
|Students who couldn't secure (or didn't take) a seat in round 1.
|If a student gets allotted, he HAS to take admission. He is not eligible for further CAP rounds
|Round 3
|It's counseling in Aurangabad. Everyone gets a seat.
|Students who couldn't get a seat through Round 2
|It's the last CAP round. There will be no further rounds, but it's highly advisable to try not to go so far before getting a seat.

New Xulon Title is a Refreshing Perspective on Letting God Lead
Ostergaard shares her wisdom in obtaining a guide dog, and the greater metaphor
May 22, 2014 --
MAITLAND, Fla., May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- In her new book, Looking at the Unseen: My Guide Dog Journey ($14.99, paperback, 9781628397376; $7.99, e-book, 9781628397383) Olivia Ostergaard draws a clever analogy on her guide dog experience, and the believer's faith walk. She emphasizes that everything in life is temporal, however, it takes "eyes of faith to navigate" whatever situations arise. According to the author, by trusting God's Word, and by obeying His precepts and principles, the Lord will lead and guide believers in unfathomable ways.

"We need to rely on God's guidance, through prayer and seeking His will, which seems difficult at times," states the author. "God sees what's in front of us, even though we can't, and that's looking at life through the eternal, or unseen perspective."
Being that author, Olivia Ostergaard, is in fact a blind person, she holds the authority to speak on the topics of obtaining a guide dog, as well as orientation and mobilitythe tools for success in independence as a blind person. She has been a guide dog user for the past eight years, retiring her first in 2008, and obtaining her current dog, Fenway, in 2009. The author is a wife and mother, married for twenty-five years, to her husband, Jim. They have one son, James. She holds two B.A. degrees, in three majorsB.A. in psychology from Cal Baptist University, and a second B.A. from Cal State Bakersfield in fine arts, emphasizing in vocal music/English. Olivia has been an advocate for the blind in several organizations: locally, statewide, and nationally.
