You Can Track Sandy Relief Spending [AUDIO]
There's been a lot of talk about making sure federal Sandy Relief aid is spent wisely, but today the full Assembly votes on a bill to deploy integrity oversight monitors.
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate convened its first hearing on Sandy recovery and rebuilding efforts. It is now clear the federal government is keeping an eye on Sandy cash too.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan was among those to testify before the Senate Homeland Security Committee. He told members of the panel that a task force has been established for added oversight.
"The task force's role is to help supplement individual agency's efforts to get money where it's needed by sharing lessons learned about how to use it most effectively and efficiently," Donovan says. "Our role is also to facilitate the monitoring of those programs to ensure accountability and to take additional measures to prevent waste, fraud and abuse."
Also testifying yesterday were Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig and Assistant Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy. It was Donovan however who took the point on the issue of oversight.
"We're working with the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and with the relevant Inspectors General in support of their critical oversight mission," Donovan explains. "We'll monitor and share data about how the dollars are being spent on a public website to give the public the confidence that their dollars are being spent as intended."
NJ Oversight Bill
The bill scheduled for a vote today in the full Assembly The bill imposes oversight upon Hurricane Sandy recovery funding by:
- Establishing a Hurricane Sandy recovery funding transparency website
- Requiring comprehensive quarterly reports on Hurricane Sandy recovery funding
- Requiring expedited priority reports for administrative problems encountered in Hurricane Sandy recovery funding to enable prompt responses.
"Rebuilding what Sandy destroyed will be a major undertaking," says Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, one of the measure's co-sponsors. "A project of this multitude and the bulk of funding involved demands transparency. We owe it to the communities affected to ensure that the funds slated for New Jersey to assist in the rebuilding will be spent wisely."

About those concerns about Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan finding a way to coexist?
There may be some in the media who have wondered how that particular duo would mesh on the floor with a strikingly similar skill set but for DeRozan, even the suggestion that there might be some question about it working is sheer nonsense.
"First of all, I've known Rudy for years now," DeRozan began. "We've played (and played together) in L.A. a lot and once you have that time and relationship and have watched a guy play -- I've watched Rudy since he was at UConn and I'm sure he has watched me -- but when you know each other like that like you don't need to be teammates for a year or whatever to figure it out."
Gay had a team-high 20 points in his Raptors debut. DeRozan had 19 and seven assists. If there is going to be a problem, DeRozan doesn't see it. In fact, he only sees the combo getting stronger.
"I understand what he does and he understands what I do and we just stay within our games," DeRozan said. "As long as we do that we can't do anything but get better."
DeRozan is legitimately surprised anyone would ever think he and Gay working together could be anything but a positive.
"I read a few things," DeRozan said, "but you know, people are always trying to find the negatives in something. But we're here to win. He wants to win and I want to win just as bad as anything. Once you put that together and understand you don't have two selfish players out there, it definitely can work."
Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said his biggest concern in making sure these two have the necessary room to operate has more to do with his big men than either DeRozan or Gay.
"The No. 1 thing is going to be the spacing of our bigs," Casey said. "Those two (DeMar and Rudy) are going to be OK. I'm not worried about them once they get the ball. It's going to be making sure our bigs are in the proper spot spacing- wise in a half-court setting."
As far as Casey sees it, Gays arrival can't be anything but good for DeRozan and vice-versa.
"Both guys take pressure off each other," Casey said. "You still can double-team DeMar and still send a guy or what we call a half a man, to him, but it's going to free up Rudy. You can double- team Rudy but it's going to free up DeMar on the weak side. Ultimately they are going to have to make a choice. Play DeMar one- on-one or play Rudy one-on-one. Those two guys will complement each other."
As much progress as DeRozan has made this season, he sees Gay's arrival pushing him to another level.
"Rudy is probably what I needed," DeRozan said. "You never know. He helps me so much and with him helping me I can help everyone else in a way. It makes me feel that much more comfortable to where I feel like I don't have to score. I like getting my teammates involved and once that happens everything else (just falls into place)."
In truth, DeRozan's willingness and efficiency in sharing the basketball predated Gay's arrival. His seven assists on Friday was his fourth game of seven or more assists in the past six alone.
"One thing DeMar is doing a great job of now is seeing the floor," Casey said. "He is passing the ball like a point guard. That is one thing he has really improved his game on. He is getting so used to being double-teamed now which last year I thought he struggled with. Now he's seeing the floor, he knows where his teammates are and he's making great decisions with the basketball."
And with Gay in the fold that skill only becomes more valuable.
Perhaps the biggest indicator of what the addition of Gay can do for DeRozan's game came to DeRozan as he walked off the floor on Friday.
"I just feel comfortable. He takes so much pressure off me. I wasn't even tired after Friday's game to be honest," DeRozan said.
The Raptors' injured list looks like it's getting ready to spring another one. Hot on the heels of Jonas Valanciunas making his return Friday, there is at least an indication that Andrea Bargnani could follow his fellow big's lead on Sunday. "He could," Casey said Saturday of a Sunday return for Bargnani. "It's still going to be a game- time decision, but it's either tomorrow or Wednesday."

Ted's Hot Dogs in Tempe Makes Urbanspoon's List of the Best Hot Dogs in The Country
Ted's Hot Dogs
JK Grence
In honor of National Hot Dog day, which is today, Urbanspoon has rounded up a list of the country's best places to get a top-notch dog. The list was complied based on the restaurants that received the most positive reviews from food critics, bloggers, and the Urbanspoon community and includes Tempe's Ted's Hot Dogs, the 30-year-old Valley favorite.
See also: - Ted's Hot Dogs: A (30-Year-Old!) Slice of Buffalo, New York, in Tempe - Ted's Hot Dogs in Tempe Now Offers Gluten-Free Buns. Rejoice!
The "Top 40 Fantastic Franks restaurant list" for 2013 includes 40 different hot dog spots from 31 cities across the country. Other cities' winners include Sammy's Wild Game Grill in Houston, which offers exotic game hot dogs; Senate in Cincinnati, where you can order your dog with crazy toppings like poached egg or kimchi; and the classic Grey's Papaya in New York.
While Ted's might not be as out-there as those joints, the eatery is one of the few places where you get a hot dogs that's been charbroiled over a live charcoal fire. Ted's offers standard toppings (for the most part) but makes its own relish, which is spicy but not exactly a hot sauce. Ted's also ships its dogs from a small chain in Buffalo, meaning that when you bite into a Ted's dog, you're getting an authentic taste of the East Coast. Ted's also offers gluten-free buns.
You can read the entire list of the nation's most fantastic franks on the Urbanspoon blog.

Check out the original Star Wars trilogy as maps
6:00 PM on 01.02.2013 // Liz Rugg@LizRugg
These awesome posters were made by artist Andrew DeGraff for an upcoming two person show featuring DeGraff and fellow artist Bennett Slater. The show will be at Gallery 1988, which we've talked about before. In these works DeGraff has created maps for each of the three movies in the original Star Wars trilogy - A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
I love how the whole story for each movie is told in seemingly simple lines and patterns, no map keys or legends or even words appear on each piece, but if you've seen any of the movies the scenes are instantly recognizable and relivable. DeGraff's works seem to evoke a playful dance between movie screen, memory, and storytelling. More info on DeGraff's upcoming show here.

Grandeur of the Seas - Bermuda: Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Review by linerguy
Overall Member Rating
Grandeur of the Seas - Bermuda
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: Baltimore
My wife and I, along with our two children (15 and 12) went with another couple and their two children (5 and 7). The itinerary was Baltimore, a day at sea, a day and a half at King's Wharf Bermuda, day at sea, and then back to Baltimore. Here's the scoop:
Baltimore & Embarkation - We drove from our home in Indiana (near Cincinnati) to Maryland; stopping for an overnight in Hagerstown, which is about two hours from Baltimore. We stayed at the luxurious Red Roof Inn Hagerstown/Williamsport. Actually, the rooms were newly remodeled and they were working on the building's exterior. In the morning, I woke up with the room spinning...apparently it was food poisoning from the previous night's excursion to Ruby Tuesdays (future visitors More may want to avoid the White Chicken Chili; tasty but potentially lethal).
The port of Baltimore is about as convenient as it gets. Take I-95, look for the signs for the port, pull off the highway and you're there. Folks leaving their car at the port need only pull in, drop off luggage, pay ($10/day) and park. Checking in and boarding the ship took only about ten to fifteen minutes; no problems at all.
Grandeur of the Seas - As mentioned, the ship is eleven years old; and although she does show her age here and there, she is still a very warm and inviting vessel. Her public rooms are in good shape and most of the carpeting is new (earlier this year, she was dry-docked for a sprucing up). I will say that if folks are use to going on nothing but new (or newer) ships, they may be a little disappointed with Grandeur's obvious signs of aging. They may also have issues with the fact that the ship doesn't have all the bells and whistles that most of RCI's newer ships have. Amenities such as ice skating rinks, in-line skating tracks, Johnny Rockets, golf courses, flowriders, etc., are non-existent. The only familiar features that Grandeur boasts are a rock climbing wall and a Ben and Jerry's ice cream stand.
The ocean liner fanatic in me was pleased to see that the Great Gatsby Dining Room had a 1930's theme; I found myself walking through in the middle of the night, my camera set on sepia, and imagining the likes of Noel Coward or Marlene Dietrich gliding down the grand staircase.
The ship's exterior and deck spaces are in good shape; although the textured rubber decking could use a good power washing. The teak decking is in excellent shape all over the ship. Overall, Grandeur of the Seas is, despite her age, still a lovely ship with many years of life left in her; let's hope RCI keeps her that way.
Cabin - We had an inside cabin, 3575 to be exact. Pretty typical layout, a bit tattered but still comfortable. Bedding was of extremely high quality. A shampoo dispenser was in the shower but no lotion, bath gel, or conditioner. Soap was disappointingly similar to those small bars one would find in a Motel 6.
Service - Throughout the ship, everyone was very pleasant and, for the most part, very helpful. Our waiter was excellent; he took very good care of the children and made sure that the younger ones were served first to keep them busy. Our waiter's assistant, while very kind, was obviously new. She tried very hard to please and, in the end, I really can't find anything to complain about as we always got everything we ordered (eventually, that is). Our room steward did his job well but, that's about it. Service in bars and lounges was excellent.
There was one major issue with service and that was with the housekeeping department. When we boarded at the beginning of the cruise, I noticed an area on the promenade deck where folks from the previous cruise would sit their empty glasses and coffee mugs. Many of the glasses (about fifteen of them) were filled with wet cigarette butts; it was really very disgusting. Over the next four days I said something to at least three different employees and no one bothered to clean it up. I even approached two members of the housekeeping department who were walking on the deck and pointed the mess out to them. The last straw was when, on the fourth day, I saw a waiter standing at the rail about a foot away. I went up and said, "You know, this mess has been sitting here since the last cruise and it's really gross". He shook his head in agreement and said, "I know, it's terrible". And then he walked inside. I took out my camera, snapped a picture and headed for the Purser's desk. I showed the photo to the gentlemen behind the desk, Edison, and he asked that I show him where the mess was outside. He made one phone call and it was cleaned up within fifteen minutes. What really irked me was that I know that, for at least four days, dozens of crew members had to walk past the mess and not one of them took the initiative to clean it up. If I saw it, they saw it, and other passengers saw it.
Another issue really doesn't have to do with service as much as an annoyance. Whoever came up with the idea of holding those revolting art auctions in the main atrium should have to sit through 120 hours of Pat Boone singing Heavy Metal. The auctioneer was loud and totally obnoxious; he would constantly slam a wooden gavel on the side of a wooden podium and it would echo throughout the cavernous atrium. Surely a lounge or the theater would be a better place (or better yet, in a lifeboat being pulled behind the ship). What they don't seem to understand is that passengers who want to attend the art auctions will be there (and there weren't that many); folks who could care less have no choice.
Dining - We chose to have breakfast and lunch everyday in the Windjammer. Overall, the food was very good, although the breakfast was pretty much the same everyday. Dinner was, for the most part, excellent. As usual, soups were outstanding and desserts were very good. One evening, the waiter brought out two huge bowls of Caesar salad and placed them on stands at each end of the table and folks could serve themselves, family-style. Pretty nice if you like Caesar salad, albeit a bit on the "Olive Garden" side.
Food was offered pretty much throughout the day and into the wee hours of the morning. Breakfast, lunch and dinner could be had in both the main dining room and the Windjammer. Burgers, hot dogs, pizza and fries were available in the afternoon and late at night in the Solarium. For a charge, Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Seattle's Best coffee were available in the atrium (pastries were also available but you had to buy ice cream or coffee for them to be complimentary). And of course room service was available, at no charge, 24hrs. a day.
Entertainment - Live music throughout the ship was pretty good. The steel drum band that played out on deck was pretty typical of most cruises I've been on and the music in the atrium was varied and, in my opinion, not too cheesy (probably because I can't recall one Jimmy Buffet song,...thank God). Our friends went to one of the production shows and said that it was pretty bad. We went to see some famous Olympian gymnast and, other than being pretty corny, he was fairly entertaining. The DJ in the Viking Crown simply couldn't hold the crowd. On 80's night, people walked in and turned around and walked right back out. He obviously didn't know what tunes were popular in the 80's,....a little AC/DC would have saved the day.
Bermuda - Without doubt, Bermuda is my favorite island destination. Although this was my third time there, I found it to be just as charming as ever. Grandeur of the Seas docks at an area called Dockyard, which is located in King's Wharf. Nearby attractions include a small but very busy beach (which is about a ten minute walk from the ship), several shops, a wonderful maritime museum, a cinema, and several pricey restaurants. There is also a ferry landing directly across from the ship.
With regards to the ferry service: Anyone visiting Bermuda should, without doubt, get a one or two day ferry pass. They are good for ferries and buses which are the best way to get around the island. Adult passes are about $12 for one day, $20 for two. Children's passes are $6 and $10 respectively. The ferry to Hamilton (the island's capital and main "downtown" area) takes about twenty minutes; the ferry to St. George's, which is all the way at the opposite end of the island, lasts about fifty minutes. Hamilton is a very charming area with lots of shopping and restaurants,..but be prepared to spend a pretty penny; practically everything in Bermuda is outrageously expensive ($7 a gallon for gas).
St. George's is a wonderful area with several fantastic beaches within a fifteen to twenty minute walk of the ferry landing and where cruise ships dock. Our favorite is Achilles Bay. It's very secluded, never crowded and you can swim among rocky coves and see some wonderful sea life. St. George's is also the location of the Unfinished Church, a castle-type structure reminiscent of medieval times.
Misc. -
• It takes about eight or nine hours for the ship to get from Baltimore to the open sea. If at all possible, one should not miss sailing through (and thus, over) the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel; it's quite a sight.
• We prepaid our gratuities, which was very convenient. The second to last night, they placed vouchers in our cabin, with each of our names on them as well as gratuity envelopes to put them in. If folks decide to prepay their gratuities after they get on board, it's not a problem.
• The evening show for late sitting is before dinner and the show for early dining is after dinner.
• While in Bermuda, only lemons can be served; no limes. It looked a little odd with lemons sticking out of the tops of Corona bottles. Apparently, if a Bermudian Customs official comes on board and even sees a lime, the cruise line can be fined big time. It has something to do with the term, "Limey". Less

Now...what about this one. Myth or truth?
Is a link from site that is ranked very high in a serps, say page one, more valuable than a link from page 10 or page 30 in a serps?
One might think so, but that page one site could easily be on page 100 itself in the next shakeup. So, is a link from that site really of any more value than a much lower ranked site. Or, is it simply true that a link is a link is a link is a link?
Bottom line is that to rank in google. generally speaking your site needs quality backlinks as well as quality unique content.
If the term is competitive then having 0 backlinks to your site isnt going to keep you around.
Sure you can rank for "Really old blue widgets that smell bad outdoors" WHY b/c its not competitive.
Is a link from site that is ranked very high in a serps, say page one, more valuable than a link from page 10 or page 30 in a serps?
I'd have to say yes, but for the wrong reason. It really isn't the fact that the page is highly ranked, it's how it got there. So, if it's reworded a bit:
Could certain properties of a page that enable it to rank very high in the SERPs make a link from that page more valuable than from a page much farther down in the SERPs?
Now I can say yes for more of the right reasons. (And that's still a bit hazy, but hey, that's this business.)

Hudson -- A new exhibit at the Margaret Clark Morgan Art Gallery, 10 W. Streetsboro St., showcases the talent of clients of Portage Path Behavior Health.
The Creativity Inspired by Recovery art exhibition is on display at the gallery and free to the public Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The exhibition showcases the talent of more than a dozen clients of Portage Path Behavioral Health in Akron and provides insight into the relationship between creative expression and recovery from mental illness or addiction..
The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation has awarded Portage Path Behavior Health grants in the past, said Brenda Schneider, senior program officer at the MCM Foundation.
"We already had a relationship with them," Schneider said. "They approached us after seeing the gallery in our office."
Portage Path Behavior Health uses art therapy and many of the clients and staff wanted to exhibit their artwork, she said.
A reception June 5 allowed the public to meet the artists and ask questions about their artwork. A smoke alarm interrupted the artists' talks, but the cause was construction dust in another part of the building and the show resumed.
Artists include Julie Adaska, Jennifer Baskin, Victoria Cavill, Laura DeAngelo, Kevin Hudak, Shirley Hunt, Terry Klausman, Robert Klein, Marti Maurer, David Moskovitz, MD, Shari Nemeth, Charlotte Newman, S.K.O., Elizabeth Powell, Mary Denese Robinson, Jose Sacaridiz, Anne Marie Snyder and Jenna Wyatt.
Some of the artists talked about how the artwork helped them recover.
Elizabeth Powell talked about a painting she began in the late 1970s that portrays her as a girl of 3 who feels out of place at a birthday party for 7 year olds.
"They were shunning me because I was the little kid in the group, and they didn't really want me at this 7th birthday party," Powell said.
She didn't run and learned to be strong and stand up for herself, Powell said.
Kevin Hudak described the symbolism in his painting about Mary conceiving Christ.
"I wanted it to be dark and mysterious with the mystery of unraveling creation," Hudak said.
Shirley Hunt said her painting represents how she felt during recovery, and the light is the illumination from therapy.
The mission of the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation is to improve the lives of people with serious mental illness by investing in innovative projects in Northeast Ohio.
On Sept. 3 and 4, at the Sheraton Suites in Cuyahoga Falls, the foundation will sponsor a mental health forum about creative expressive therapy, Schneider said. Participants can earn continuing education credits. More information is available at www.mcmfdn.org.

How does GE Healthcare stack up against the competition?

the way it works is they like to higher the top of the graduating classes they may screen over 2000 applicants they only like to take the best. it is one of the few companies that will acutally want to see your GPA. If you get a job you will be put in a team to work with every year or so all the teams will get per reviewed and the bottom 10% hold on to your ass becasue you are on the way out the door!! after 5 years or so they have a tendency to want to higher all new graduates. This way they can keep there technology ideas fresh and up to speed. it has the reputation of brain drain company. however if you fit in with the culture it is one of the better companies to work for. this company is not going anywhere this company is one of the largest in the world. keep in mind that in fortune magazine it was rated the number 2 company in the all the United States to work for buy employers not employees so that should tell you something there. The benfits as the highest and the best. i would say GE is at the pinnical when it comes to stacking up to the competition. hope that helps

ge healthcare miami is run like a communist lab. Pharacists do not respect less skilled workers. and the courier pay is lousy. the poverty wage in south fl. is $10.45 an hour. couriers get $11.11 per hr. 16 cents above poverty. this is a multibillion dollar operation an we transport a valuable resource. Not to mention endless training on standards and radiation safety ect. you cant raise a family on $11.11 an hour in south florida.

Hold on to your suspenders GE.
I bet this happens in just about every college across America. The students where I went to college cheated to get those high grades. Never mind about what you know, just get that high GPA.
Wow. GE (or any other company that relies on high GPA's) get the best and the brightest? Think again.
Perhaps this is why GE employee attitudes are what they are.

ugh the friggin kicker
Duh! I've thought the NFC team would win the entire season, but with the Saints and Packers gone I'm not so sure anymore.
Once again th ePatriots wins land on the leg of a kicker.
Ed Reed you tried man... but you were right about Flacco you should've dogged out the kicker too...
pick up the f---- first down next time
Ravens were so dang close. That one will sting for a long time for them. They should have won that game. Wow.
I thought the Ravens would come out of the AFC when the playoffs started yeah was totally wrong. Maybe the Texans should've won last week but I figured with a rookie QB probably not.
Like I said if the Pats win the SB I hope the roof caves in.

Definitely didn't think this was NE's year to come out of the AFC with their defense.
Stupid way to lose they had a chance and blew it.
Yes because they have ESPN and the East Coast Bias behind them.
At least with Baltimore nobody outside of Baltimore cares about them.....
Well the pats finally beat a team above 500 and got gift wraped a superbowl appearance. This team doesnt deserve a chance to win another one imo.
What do you mean East Coast Bias? I live 40 miles from Baltimore and can tell you it is on the East Coast. They have a lot of fans in Delaware and the D.C. area apart from controlling all of Maryland.
Neither team looked great to be honest. The Ravens offense was awful but I don't know how much if it is Flacco or Cam Cameron who will be fired after this game so should Cundiff..
Should've brought Stover back.
Sucks for Ray Rice today was his birthday.
What an awful present.
Any team from NYC or Boston is what I mean by East Coast yes Baltimore is in the East Coast but really who cares outside of Baltimore?
Re: Cam Cameron's decision I think you have to hang that one on Harbaugh.
I think that is more accurate in baseball and to a lesser extent basketball than the NFL. In my experience at least there aren't nearly as many bandwagon fans for NFL teams nationwide like there are for NBA/MLB teams.
Play of the game was Moore knocking the TD out of Lee Evans hands with 20 seconds left in the game. Cundiff missing the chip shot is the second runner up.
LOL you realize Cundiff is a pro bowl kicker?? Stover is like 45
who hasn't played in 3 years this is ridiculous logic on your part.
Maybe Jim can win tonight and avenge his brother in the SB.
Jim is definately the better coach between the two but still Cam Cameron sucks as an OC (he was worse as a coach though)
Pro Bowls are worthless if anything and yes I'd pick Stover of Cundiff as a kicker and Ravens fans would too right now.
b-more's defense did everything required...
won turnover battle...check
more field goals than td's ...check
and still lost...now the cheaters have a chance to celebrate on the colts field

(Adds detail and comment beginning in third paragraph)
By Scott Haggett
CALGARY, Alberta, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Alberta, the largest oil exporter to the United States, said on Tuesday it still expects to end the current fiscal year in surplus but warned the full impact of lower crude prices won't be felt until the next fiscal year.
In its third-quarter budget update the Canadian province said it expects to post a C$465 million ($368.9 million) budget surplus for the 2014/2015 fiscal year that ends on March 31.
That is down from an initial estimate of a C$1.09 billion surplus but confounded warnings from Alberta's premier last month that low oil prices could see the province post a C$500 million deficit for the year.
"Pressures on the province's fiscal position will intensify in the coming months as the full effect of the decline in energy revenues is felt," Nick Exarhos, an economist at CIBC World Markets said in a note to clients. "Nevertheless, the update does highlight that the province will face these looming challenges from a stronger position than might have been expected just a month or two ago."
Alberta relies on payments from its oil and gas sector to fund about a fourth of its annual budget. With oil prices down by more than half since June, the province's finance minister warned that the next fiscal year, beginning April 1, will see a larger impact from the drop in oil.
"The revised forecast for 2014/2015 shows declining resource revenue due to plunging oil prices," Finance Minister Robin Campbell told reporters. "However the full impact won't be felt this fiscal year but will be felt for budget (year) 2015."
While expected revenue of C$44.75 billion is nearly C$400 million higher than its budget forecast on a higher tax take, payments from the non-renewable resource sector are seen at C$8.71 billion, C$503 million less than expected due to lower oil prices. ($1 = C$1.2605) (Reporting by Scott Haggett; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Going straight from school into professional sport can pose a few problems.
You can study and do some tertiary courses while you play - it's actually encouraged by most clubs - but what if study isn't for you? How do you focus all your energies on playing your best while simultaneously making good decisions for life after your sporting career?
In Australian Rugby, the Rugby Union Players' Association provides support to players to study in preparation for life after rugby. This support is in the form of advice, mentoring and paying for players' study fees - as long as you pass the subjects. That means you have to be being fairly certain of what you will do after rugby.
This level of support, if you want to study at tertiary level, can be very helpful and is available during, and for a period immediately after, one's playing career.
Having a Super Rugby schedule with international travel and the uncertainty of scheduling week-to-week though, means most players are forced to study via correspondence.
It's not easy for the boys to be at training all day with weights and meetings on the side to try to sit in front of a computer and write assignments or study. Also, not having face-to-face contact with lecturers and teachers makes it that much harder.
Rugby isn't just physically draining, it takes a mental toll and there is a lot of pressure that comes with playing sport at an elite level.
I'm not saying it's harder to study while playing professional rugby than it is to study while in full-time work. However with our travelling, training and playing schedules it's just near impossible for most of us. As the intensity of the competition has grown and become more professional, teams are spending more time in and around the training facility, after all it is our job and we work on weekends too. It makes the efforts of guys like teammate Tom Kingston, who is completing a Bachelor of Commerce/Laws, even more impressive.
Trying to get a trade or some work experience is also virtually impossible. Our schedules constantly change and some weeks there is no opportunity to have a day off from our rugby commitments. There is no way to dedicate particular days to work experience on site and I also think it would be an issue to find an employer who would be willing to take a player on, considering they would be coming in to work spasmodically, whenever they got the chance.
I think the hardest thing for guys coming into professional rugby is that they generally have no idea at that particular point in time what they want to do with their life in the longer term. They just want to play rugby. You know you have a limited time in the game and you have to make the most of it.
It's great to make as much money as you can, buy a house and have a bit of security, but if you have nothing to step into once you finish playing, or an immediate source of income, then you could spend a lot of that hard-earned money on trying to find out what's next! And what's next is a question!

This weekend's Kentucky Derby is more than a horse race and an excuse to swill mint juleps – it's the opening event of Americana season. The coming months will be filled with wacky happenings and iconic annual occasions that are coloured red, white and blue.
All-American Soap Box Derby: It started in 1934 and it's been downhill ever since. Kids with the need for natural four-wheeled speed flock to Ohio for first-to-the-finish-line fun. The homemade vehicles get no miles to the gallon, but the contest is a gas. July 27. Akron, Ohio; aasbd.org
Angola Prison Rodeo: What are you in for? The rodeo, of course. Every Sunday in October the prisoners at this Louisiana penitentiary let loose with a day's distraction of cowboy sport and animal amusement, beginning with the cheekily named Bust Out event, which involves angry bulls. October 5, 12, 19 and 26. Tunica, La.; angolarodeo.com
(Jana Asenbrennerova / Reuters)
Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic: The beloved country singer/songwriter is 80 years old, which means he's finally at the age that he's been resembling for the past 30 years. Speaking of big numbers, Nelson's annual hootenanny is turning 40 this year, with invited guests such as Kris Kristofferson and Ray Price. July 4. Fort Worth, Tex.; williespicnic.com
Newport Folk: In 1965, Bob Dylan went electric and got booed for his unfolky transgression. In 2013, Canadian singer-songwriter Feist will … well, we're not sure what she'll do. But whatever she and Michael Hurley and Old Crow Medicine Show and others have in store, it will be watchable live on the Internet. Times, they still are a'changin'. July 26 to 28. Newport, R.I.; newportfolkfest.net
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest: A fellow last year devoured 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes? Well, we never sausage a thing. The world-famous gastronomical challenge is free of condiments but full of face-stuffing wiener-eaters who probably don't ride the rickety Coney Island Cyclone afterward. July 4, Coney Island, Brooklyn, N.Y.; nathansfamous.com
B.B. King Homecoming Festival: It's still a thrill when the ancient blues guitarist returns to his Mississippi roots every summer. He gives a free outdoor concert in the afternoon and a ticketed show the same night at Club Ebony, a juke joint he now owns. July 3. Indianola, Miss.; bbkingmuseum.org
(Rogelio V. Solis/AP)
Hemingway Days: For whom does the bell toll? Apparently for stocky white-bearded men resembling Ernest Hemingway. The southern-most point in the United States is the balmy place for literary events, a fishing contest, a screwball running of the bulls and the popular Papa-lookalike contest. July 16 to 21. Key West, Fla.; fla-keys.com
Little League World Series: Diamonds are the best friends of the pre-teen sluggers and fastballers who compete in this international tournament dedicated to America's pastime. Baseball fans who abhor the forced calisthenics of the seventh-inning stretch are in luck: The games are only six innings long. Aug. 15 to 25. South Williamsport, Pa.; littleleague.org
(Gene J. Puskar/The Associated Press)
Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee: It's nice to have amphibious landings that don't involve the storming of beaches. This Mark Twain-approved jubilee is a classic carnival, notable for its croaky participants prized for their hop-to-it attitude. May 16 to 19. Angels Camp, Calif.; frogtown.org
Gettysburg Anniversary National Civil War Battle Re-enactment: Never have so many men given their lives so that a president could deliver a doozy of a speech four and a half months later. The event celebrates a pivotal American Civil War battle, with guest speakers, a living-history village and a large-scale battle re-enactment. July 4 to 7. Gettysburg, Pa.; gettysburgreenactment.com

Leaked Samsung Nexus 10 Users Manual shows tablet's design
0. phoneArena posted on 25 Oct 2012, 11:32
Nothing says that a rumored tablet is real like a Users Manual and one has just leaked in Korea for the 10 inch Samsung Nexus 10; earlier this month we told you to expect this device and its 2560 x 1600 resolution 10 inch display to be introduced on Monday...

That's called upgrading your phone when the battery begins to die or send in for a replacement with your insurance plan. Why pop in a battery when you have to reboot your entire phone. Just charge your phone and carry your USB charger. That simple.
MicroSD is good to have, but slow. Try booting off your flash drive. Nand flash is directly mapped into the CPU's memory, so has the advantage of full bus bandwidth, at whatever the native data rate for the Nand flash is.
All Android's and iPhone's fail the drop test right now.
I already have a cable to charge my phone. Last I checked the older iPhone cables cost me a dollar online.
The Lightning connector allows USB hosting.
How many people access their file system?
Choice is great to have, but redundant.

Seven Year Ache is an awesome song, BTW. I fell in love to it.
And I'm so glad to see "While You See a Chance" was given the green light. I don't know how that song does what it does to me. Intellectually, I think it's cheesy. But emotionally? It gets me going every time.
If only we could permanently erase "Bette Davis Eyes" from the top of "our" list...

Wilbert "Wil" Nieves (born September 25, 1977) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball catcher who is currently a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Washington Nationals, Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Philadelphia Phillies.

San Diego Padres[edit]
Nieves was selected by the Padres in the 47th round of the 1995 MLB draft.[1] He made his major league debut on July 21, 2002, for the San Diego Padres, and played 28 games with them during their 2002 season.
Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels[edit]
Nieves was selected off waivers by the Anaheim Angels on December 20, 2002.
New York Yankees[edit]
He was traded to the New York Yankees for pitcher Bret Prinz. Nieves won a spot on the Yankees 2007 roster by beating out Todd Pratt and Raul Chavez during spring training. He served as the back-up catcher to Jorge Posada, but was primarily considered Mike Mussina's "personal catcher." Joe Torre experimented with using Nieves to help bolster Mussina out of a rough stretch with good results.[2]
Nieves made his first career non-catching appearance in the ninth inning of a game on July 8, 2007, against the Angels; he played first base when the Yankees ran low on position players.
Following an impressive 2-for-3 performance against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on July 21, 2007, Nieves was designated for assignment by the Yankees following news that they had acquired José Molina from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Though respected as a good defensive catcher, Nieves hit just .164 for the Yankees.
"It's just business and I really want this team to go all the way to the playoffs and, hopefully, win the World Series," Nieves said. "They're a bunch of great guys. I love them, Torre and all those guys. They can improve the backup catcher and they're bringing in Molina. He's a great catcher, too."[3]
Nieves cleared waivers, and reported to the Yankees' Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on July 27, 2007. Nieves was the starting catcher for Scranton. He declared free agency in October 2007. He played for Licey in the Dominican Winter League during the off-season.
Washington Nationals[edit]
He started the 2008 season in the Washington Nationals organization with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers of the International League. On April 25, 2008, Nieves hit his first major-league home run, a walk-off home run to right field, to give the Nationals a 5–3 win over the Chicago Cubs. Nieves was the backup catcher to starter Jesus Flores in the 2009 season. Nieves was the backup catcher for Iván Rodríguez in 2010.
Milwaukee Brewers[edit]
On December 10, 2010, Nieves signed a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Atlanta Braves[edit]
He was traded to the Atlanta Braves on July 27, 2011, for $1.[4] He was demoted to Triple-A Gwinnett shortly after, and J. C. Boscan was recalled to be the backup catcher.
Colorado Rockies[edit]
On December 18, 2011 Nieves signed a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies worth $414,000. After hitting .409 with 1 HR in 18 games in spring training, he was reassigned before the season started.[5] On May 25, 2012, Nieves was called up to replace Ramón Hernández, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Nieves was hitting .299 with 3 HR and 14 RBI in 28 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs.[6] During his time up there, he acted as a mentor to Wilin Rosario[7] and was used to try to solve Jeremy Guthrie's problems.[8] On July 13, Nieves was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a turf toe in his right foot. However, on August 1, he was designated for assignment to clear roster space. Nieves was hitting .298 with 1 HR and 5 RBI in 16 games.[9] He elected free agency on August 6.
Arizona Diamondbacks[edit]
Nieves signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 6, 2012. Nieves scored a two-run homer on his debut August 9, 2012 at the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 6 to 3 win.
Philadelphia Phillies[edit]
On December 4, 2013, Nieves signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.[10] Nieves made the Phillies Opening Day roster in 2014 as the backup catcher to Carlos Ruiz. On June 18, he injured his leg while running the bases during a start against Atlanta. He exited the game, and the Phillies recalled catcher Cameron Rupp to serve as Ruiz's backup while Nieves healed.[11] Nieves had only played in 14 games to that date, all starts to give Ruiz some rest.
Return to San Diego Padres[edit]
Nieves signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres on February 4, 2015.[1][12] He made the Padres' opening day roster as back-up to catcher Derek Norris after Tim Federowicz suffered a season-ending knee injury during spring training.[13] Nieves appeared in six games for the Padres in 2015 and collected one hit in thirteen at-bats, an April 12 grand slam against the San Francisco Giants. Nieves was designated for assignment on May 4, 2015, and chose to become a free agent.[14]
Braves organization[edit]
The Braves signed Nieves to a minor league contract, and he batted .238 for AAA Gwinnett, but the Braves released him on June 22.[15]

Visual communication on commercial signs.
AD Graphics started as a sign only company in France and has extensive knowledge of the industry sector.
The word sign is very general and can be used to define everything from a finger sign on a post to an office nameplate.
Our main focus when making a sign is always how can we pass on the message correctly to the target audience, in budget and in the most ecological way in line with the customer brief.
Retail and commercial signs
Signage is the way a company communicates to their customer, at a glance so your customer knows who you are and what you do.
When a customer asks us for a front shop or factory sign, we send a surveyor who will have a look at the building and take some measurements in order to ensure the best fit possible. Our graphic designers will then create a visual from the sizes taken during the survey.
Only when the graphic design and the choice of materials have been approved by the customer, will the manufacture start. Time of delivery depends entirely on how technical the project is.
Shop signs in Sutton can be made of anything from flat wood panels to aluminium trays, Fret cut letters fitted directly to the wall to lightboxes, architectural letters in stainless steel to acrylic letters. Illuminated with a Troughlight, neon, L.E.D. we can help you to choose the best option for your shop front sign. If you already have your sign in place, we can also produce some stunning projecting signs, pavement signs, window graphics, flags, boards or indoor graphics to enhance it.
As temporary or portable signs, digitally printed banners are very versatile.
On a sports ground, as a promotional message or on scaffolding to advertise your company, banners can be made in PVC or for bigger surface in Mesh to avoid wind resistance.
Healthcare & School Signage
From your external directory, parking signs to your internal directory and door nameplates, we can assist you from the graphic concept all the way through to installation. We are working with the standard aluminium slat system or with other materials like Foamex, Dibond, Aluminium panel and Perspex.
We also provide internal signs for schools and hospitals. Our signage is laminated with an Antimicrobial Laminate which contains antimicrobial agents that are designed for protection of surfaces against infections such as E.Coli, MRSA & Providencia Stuartii.
Indoor Signs
Internal signage doesn't have to be a board on a wall, we think that floor and wall graphics are under used and are able to transform your office or workshop into a creative working place.
Metal options are also available, cut to shape letters, powder coated metal signs and very modern metal fixings.
Exhibitions & Events
Are usually for a few days so their graphic need, pop-up & roll up systems are light and designed for this effect. They can be packed and unpacked quickly and create brilliant displays on the day.
Fitting & Delivery in Bexley
We can send your order anywhere in the UK for small items. The dispatch time will depend on the order but we will always do our best to accommodate your deadline.
We quote for fitting independently as we know that no place is the same and a lot of factors have to be taken in consideration. Is the sign going to be high? Do we need a cherry picker or scaffolding? How strong is the structure which is going to hold the main sign? We want to make sure that when a sign is going up, it stays there.
We cover so many areas that it's difficult to summarise everything we do in a few lines, however we encourage you to drop us a line if you have a project as we are passionate by our work. We look forward to hearing from you.

Brent crude oil fell slightly on Tuesday after the risk premium created by an Israeli air strike on Syria began to fade.
The benchmark hit its highest in nearly a month above $105 in the previous session on fears of supply disruption after the Israeli air strikes on Syria close to Damascus.
Israel played down the air strikes, saying the raids were not aimed at influencing its neighbour's civil war, but only at stopping Iranian missiles from reaching Lebanese Hezbollah militants. "There are no winds of war," Yair Golan, the general commanding Israeli forces on the Syrian and Lebanese fronts, told reporters.
Brent crude dropped 34 cents to $105.12 a barrel by 1035 GMT, after settling up at $105.46 on Monday, its highest finish since April 10.
Brent has rebounded more than $6 a barrel since falling below $99 last Wednesday. U.S. oil fell 46 cents to $95.70, after ending 55 cents higher on Monday.
Analysts expect crude oil could rise further on renewed optimism about the health of the global economy, thanks in part to supportive measures from central banks.
The Reserve Bank of Australia cut its cash rate by 25 basis points to a record low of 2.75 percent.
On Monday European Central Bank (ECB) president Mario Draghi said that the ECB would cut rates again if needed, including pushing its key deposit rate into negative territory.
"There's a risk premium pull-back today, but more generally there's a glow of comfort for investors, with central banks in Europe and the United States more supportive across the board," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB in Oslo.
Positive data also helped to put a floor under prices, with German industrial orders rising again in March, confounding expectations for a drop and helping to brighten a rather gloomy demand outlook.
Attention focused again on China, the world's second-largest economy, ahead of preliminary April trade data due on Wednesday.
China's crude oil imports last month were expected to have held near March levels, which were 2.1 percent lower than a year earlier.
Chinese inflation data on Thursday and money supply and loan growth figures expected from Friday will also be watched.
Expectations of a further build in U.S. commercial crude oil stocks, after hitting a record high, dragged on prices.
A preliminary Reuters poll, taken ahead of weekly inventory reports from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration (EIA), forecast on average that crude stocks increased by 1.8 million barrels in the week ended May 3.
Prices may rise in the second half of 2013, Morgan Stanley said in a research note. The bank said that the global oil balance looked much tighter this summer, with Brent likely to trade up to $110 to $115 in the second half.
In the week to April 30, hedge funds and other large speculators increased bets on higher Brent prices, upping net long positions by 9,614 contracts to 108,741, data from the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) show. (Editing by Louise Heavens and David Goodman)

Pretty nice little dog house and easy to put together. Review by Ben Goldberg
Quality Value Price
At first I was hesitant about any interest in the Premium extra large dog house. The price seemed a bit high.
However, now I'm glad I took a closer look. This is a nice dog house, and big enough to fit Addy, my akita.
Typically, she would have to come in when it gets too hot or rains. I don't have a back porch for her to take refuge under.
This dog house is perfect for her and the roof comes off for cleaning. That makes it easy.
I may have been able to build something from scratch, but I'm happy I didn't. This house is perfect.
My only regret is that it didn't come in a different color stain. Otherwise, I love it.

Local Pastor To Host 'Holy Smokers' On Discovery Network
We love our barbecue here in South Louisiana. Motorcycles are pretty popular here, too. You can ride virtually all year. Rowdy Daigle is the pastor of Freedom Biker Church, here in Lafayette. He's also Chaplain for the Cajun Harley Davidson Harley Owners Group.
KATC reports Loud Television has chosen him to host a pilot for a new show called, "Holy Smokers." The pilot will air next May on Discovery Network's "Destination America."
Filming was done at St. Nicholas BBQFest in Conway, South Carolina. The program will center on the tradition of classic church cook-offs, and feature handpicked teams from churches in various states. I can't wait to see it. Maybe I'll pick up a few pointers… and a little inspiration.

ON THE TOWN ($25) is one of the most exuberant musicals to come out of the MGM dream factory. The film also boasts a bit of historic significance as well. Hollywood musicals were always made in you guessed it- Hollywood, with the back lot and soundstages being substituted from every conceivable place on the planet (and off). However, ON THE TOWN set a precedent by taking its actors to New York City for several days of location shooting at many of the landmarks that make the city what it is. Even though most of ON THE TOWN was shot in Hollywood, the location footage incorporated into the body of the film gives it a New York flavor that just couldnt be faked.
The premise of ON THE TOWN is simple enough, three W.W.II era sailors on leave in New York City have only twenty-four hours to take in all the sites, as well as become romantically entangled with three city girls. The screenplay by Adolph Green and Betty Comden is a pure effervescent delight, as are the films songs, which include the classic New York, New York. Behind the camera, one finds the co-directing team of Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, who were responsible for many of MGMs best musicals. ON THE TOWN also has talent to spare in front of the camera. Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin portray the three sailors on leave, while Betty Garrett, Ann Miller and Vera-Ellen are the girls they meet during their one-day pass in New York City. Every single frame of ON THE TOWN is pure entertainment, with the film whizzing by in a dizzying blur of comedy, songs and dance numbers that scarcely leave the viewer with an opportunity to catch their breath.
Warner Home Video has done a terrific job with their DVD release of ON THE TOWN. Even though ON THE TOWN was a 1949 theatrical release, the film element Warner has utilized for the transfer is in wonderful shape. There are very few age-related anomalies or noticeable instances of film grain anywhere in the presentation. Predating wide screen, ON THE TOWN is presented in its proper 1.33:1 theatrical aspect ratio. The transfer itself is sharp, well defined and the image is very clean looking. Color reproduction is excellent; in fact, this incarnation of ON THE TOWN comes close to recapturing the look of an original IB Technicolor print. The candy colored hues are well saturated and are recreated without any distracting evidence of chroma noise or bleeding. Flesh tones are very pleasing, taking on that healthy Technicolor glow. Blacks are solid and shadow detail is respectable for a film that is over fifty years old. Additionally, contrast is very even throughout the film. There are no visible traces of digital compression artifacts on the DVD.
The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack has all the frequency limitations for a film of this vintage, however the sound proves to be rather full and engaging when amplified. A French language soundtrack is also encoded onto the DVD, as are English and French subtitles. The interactive menus contain music, but are otherwise basic in their implementation. Through the menus, one can access the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as a theatrical trailer.
ON THE TOWN is a classic Hollywood treasure that belongs in the library of every movie fan. Warner Home Video has delivered a DVD presentation worthy of the film. Recommended to film buffs everywhere.
