His name was Muslim; his faith was Christian; and the way he walked in the world was upliftingly African, doing honor to his family, justice to his faith and enduring good for his people and the world. His life, like those of other men and women of his character and kind, offers an abundance of lessons that enlighten and lift us up and lead us to the good and rightful way of being the best of who we are and strive to be. His first name, Muhammad, means Praised One, one worthy of great praise, and his last name, Nasserdeen, means Victory of the Faith. Already, his parents had signaled and encoded his life's mission in his name—to always walk worthy in the world, to be praised among the people, and to bring honor and victory to the faith you follow by embodying in your daily life the principles you put forth as the foundation of your faith. This is the first lesson of his life.
Anybody who knows anything about Muhammad Nasserdeen knows he was about business-thinking business, teaching business, garnering support for business, increasing the capacity and quality of business and passing at work at his desk. But everybody also knows and needs to remember always that it was his commitment to community, to us as a self-determining, self-empowering people, that was the source of his passion and the central motivation and meaning of his work. Business was the profession and path he chose to follow to do his work. But it was always about community, about how we relate to, serve and support each other. For he knew what we all know and at our weakest, worst or most inattentive moment tend to forget: that how we relate makes certain our success or ensures our failure. This too is another of his life lessons: that we must be about more than ourselves, more than money-making or our personal interests; that we must always be about doing good in our community and the world.
At the heart of his work was the practice and project of "recycling Black dollars", spending our $723 billion purchasing power within the Black community, "putting dollars in another Black hand", turning it over as many times as possible before it leaves the community. As he used to say, "It's as simple as that. If you bank at a Black bank; if you go to Black cleaners; if you go to Black restaurants; if you go to Black-owned theatres, you are recycling Black dollars. And every time you do that you have a strong impact." And this impact is not only that we strengthen Black businesses, but also that we increase their capacity to provide jobs and opportunities of ownership, investment, etc., contribute to important social projects, pursue necessary development, expand the community economy, and transfer wealth to the next generation, producing a strong sense of well-being among us.
Tied to the idea of recycling Black dollars was the need to put the business community and larger community in a mutually-beneficial relationship. This approach of building and sustaining mutually-beneficial relationships between persons and persons, businesses and businesses, and businesses and community offers us another important lesson from his life. It is a lesson from two principles of the Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principles): Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), shared work and shared wealth; and Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) for building a strong community economic base as essential to the health, strength and wholeness of the community.
Thus, Nasserdeen stressed reciprocity, mutual respect, mutual commitment and mutual benefit for businesses and the community. So, even as he worked hard for support of Black business, he demanded from them the highest level of service for our people. "We don't think that you should patronize a business just because it's Black," he said. "It is incumbent upon any business to deliver quality service in a quality manner at fair prices." And "Once you discover they do that, then you should patronize them, because it helps our community and our economy overall as a people."
So, he began by founding and building an organization, Recycling Black Dollars, August 1988. His program had two interlocking parts: to increase Black community patronage and support of Black business and to increase the capacity and quality of black business delivery of goods and service to the community. As a business man, he turned naturally to the project of increasing businesses' capacity and quality of delivery. As he said, he wanted "to teach our people to do business the right way". Thus, he provided seminars and lectures and gave assistance in formulating business plans, marketing, networking and securing opportunities for grounding and growth.
He launched campaigns of support for banks and other businesses, started a newsletter, resource guide and directory, and a radio program to advance his principles and program. He produced a process of lifting up and honoring models of success worthy of emulation, held mixers and luncheons at Black business sites for networking and practicing the principles he taught. This too is a lesson from Nasserdeen's life: that whatever we claim, wish for or want, if it's real and worthy, it requires dedication, discipline and hard work and we must get busy doing what it takes to achieve it. As he said, "Don't just talk about it, be about it."
Muhammad Nasserdeen was a master at involving us in his projects, using our similarities as a basis of unity and our differences as sources of enrichment and varieties of good we brought to the table and tasks at hand. This too was one of his lessons: finding common ground in the midst of our diversity and building on it in the interest of common good. He had invited me to talk on the essentiality of culture, views and values that undergird and inspire our efforts towards excellence at his seminars, his Change Banks Campaign and on his radio program, the Positive Side, on a range of community and world issues.
It was truly a Divine blessing and deeply Black thing to have known him; to experience the warm way he welcomed us; the eagerness with which he engaged us about business and being about the good; the depth of his laughter that lost us in it and the sure and certain faith he had in our capacities and possibilities as a people. And so, as we remember him and the enduring good he has done for us, let us also remember his family and do for them an equally worthy and ongoing good.

Behind the Walls of Your 'Local Nick'
Tue 10/11/15 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the walls of your 'local nick', HMP Winchester?
We all have an idea of what prison is like, from news stories or fictional dramas, but what is it really like to live, or work, behind bars? Are prison staff really able to help prisoners to change, or is it sufficient to ensure they do not escape? Are drugs and violence an inevitable component of inmate culture? Is there, as some commentators suggest, a 'crisis' in our prison system?
This is your chance to hear from, and ask questions of, HMP Winchester's Governor in Charge, David Rogers, in conversation with University of Southampton Lecturer in Criminology, Dr Alisa Stevens.

Quotable: NFL GameDay Morning: LT concerns
Published: January 3rd, 2009 | Tags: Adam Schefter, Mike Shanahan, NFL GameDay Morning
NFL GameDay Morning is the longest, most comprehensive NFL pregame show on TV that aired Saturday at 2:00 p.m. ET and will be back Sunday at 9:00 a.m. ET. Warren Sapp, Marshall Faulk and Steve Mariucci alongside hosts Spero Dedes and co-host Alex Flanagan with news reports by Adam Schefter, bring fans the latest news, injury reports, pregame analysis and game previews on NFL Network. Special player correspondents Willie McGinest and Rodney Harrison provide additional analysis from playoff sites.
NFL Network's Adam Schefter sat down with former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan to discuss the departure from Denver, his relationship with Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and his future plans. Schefter has some of the highlights on his blog.
- Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson has a detached tendon in his groin area. The injury is so severe that doctors recommended this week that he have surgery. If he had this injury at the mid-point of the season, he likely would have had to shut it down for the remainder of the season. It will be up to the Chargers to make that decision tonight. Clearly, if LT can play, which is hard to imagine, he will be largely ineffective. This is a very severe injury and is not what Tomlinson would have wanted. Last postseason Tomlinson played with the knee injury that shut him down against the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game and was questioned after that. Now Tomlinson has to deal with this groin injury hanging over him.
- It's a real busy day for Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. He is interviewing with the New York Jets this afternoon in New Jersey, then drives to New York City to interview with a contingent of Broncos officials. An interesting note about the Jets search — they started it on Friday with Brian Schottenheimer and Bill Callahan from their current staff. However Jets owner Woody Johnson was not there for the interviews and was not present today to interview Spagnuolo. Johnson is on vacation and will be back on the job next week.
- Also a busy day for Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. With the Titans on the bye, Schwartz is taking advantage of that. He is interviewing with the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns today. A lot of people believe that Cleveland would be a dream job for Schwartz. He would love to go back to the city where he once coached.
- Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had a great three-hour interview on Friday with the Cleveland Browns, during which time they told him that they have no problem hiring a head coach before they hire a general manager. That's very interesting coming from Cleveland. On Sunday morning, McDaniels will interview with the same contingent of Broncos officials that are in New York City to interview Spagnuolo.
- In Oakland, Raiders owner Al Davis has been in and out of the hospital for the past 30 days with a knee injury. The knee is very swollen and has made it hard to conduct a head coaching search and a lot of people believe that interim head coach Tom Cable is the favorite. However on Saturday, according to a Giants source, the Raiders did receive permission to interview Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride. It looks like Gilbride will become the first candidate that Davis interviews over the phone about the Raiders vacant head coaching job.
- Mike Shanahan and a potential coaching position with the Dallas Cowboys makes a lot of sense. The Cowboys and Broncos have practiced together in training camp for the last two years. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Shanahan know each other. Shanahan went to Eastern Illinois where Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo played college football. Romo and Shanahan would work great together, but in talking to people in Dallas, Jones is not going to do that this year. It looks like Wade Phillips is going to be back as coach of the Cowboys next season as Jones has said. It sounds like the Cowboys are open-minded, perhaps exploring Shanahan in 2010 if things don't work the way they want next season.
- Cardinals QB Kurt Warner is in the last year of his contract, so if the Cardinals lose today, this could be his final game with the Arizona Cardinals. The two sides have not had any significant contract talks, so there's a long way to go to bridge their differences. The Cardinals could always slap their franchise tag on Warner, who would like to stay in Arizona, but the truth is they remain far apart in their talks for a new contract.
- The Denver Broncos are also planning to interview Cowboys coordinator Jason Garrett for their head coaching position Tuesday, followed by Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and Broncos offensive line coach Rick Dennison Wednesday.
- If the Falcons win today's game vs. the Cardinals, Falcons QB Matt Ryan will get a $100,000 incentive. He's got a $200,000 incentive in his contract if he wins a divisional playoff game, a $400,000 incentive for a conference championship win and a $1 million incentive to win the Super Bowl.
- There's been some speculation that Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, who has two degrees from Oklahoma, would contact Sooners head coach Bob Stoops about interviewing for the Broncos head coaching position, but Stoops told reporters that he is not a candidate for the Broncos job, he has not been contacted and he will not be jumping to the Broncos job or a job in the NFL anytime soon.
Quotes from NFL GameDay Morning:
"You have to try to play; you have to try to go. If there's a small opportunity for you to play, you play. It's the Playoffs." — Faulk on Tomlinson.
"I don't see how he's going to be able to play. Even if he really wants to go out and play in this game, it's going to be hard for him to cut. I've been through this injury, I tried to do everything I could and played one play and I was done for the whole game." — McGinest on Tomlinson injury.
"This Cinderella story for the Miami Dolphins comes to an end this weekend because this Baltimore team is built for the playoffs." — Mariucci
"It's the big mistake that really matters and sometimes you really worry about the young quarterbacks." — Mariucci on comparing veteran to rookie QB's in playoff games.
"I will never question his toughness. The veteran he is in this league, you don't last that long if you're not a tough guy." — Mariucci on Tomlinson.
"I was a little surprised, but we had heard that they were going to play their guys to get them ready for the Playoffs, but are you kidding me? That's big Ben Roethlisberger. He's one of the hardest guys to take down … That is their $100 million guy, so they're going to make sure he's alright. He'll be ready to go." — McGinest on his Week 17 sack on Roethlisberger and the Steelers decision to start him.
"If you look at our team right now, there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of question marks, but I don't think you can ever question Bill Belichick, who is the brains and the mastermind behind the entire organization." — Harrison on the current state of the New England Patriots.
"Bill Belichick is the guy. We've figured this out. We've seen Romeo Crennel go to Cleveland and not be successful there, we've seen Mangini's struggles with the Jets and even Charlie Weis' struggles at Notre Dame, so we've figured out that the guy is Bill Belichick. He's put it all together … his thumbprint is on this team." — Faulk on Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
"They call him 'Matty Ice.' I don't know if deserves that name yet, but I do like him." — Faulk on Falcons rookie QB Matt Ryan's nickname.
"The Chargers are tired." — Sapp
"You're not going to win in the playoffs if you can't run the football. They don't have a glimpse of a run game." – Faulk on the Colts.
"Whatever coach comes into that system is going to have to crack the whip and get them organized. There's a lot of talent on that team, you just have to put it all together." — McGinest on the head coaching position in Cleveland.
Cris Collinsworth joins NFL GameDay Morning crew: NFL Network and NBC game analyst Collinsworth joins Mariucci, Faulk, Sapp and Dedes from University of Phoenix Stadium for a preview of Falcons-Cardinals and Colts-Chargers …
"Darren Sproles is about as exciting a player as there is in the NFL." — Collinsworth
"I like the Baltimore Ravens to make a run. If you look at all the teams in the playoffs, the way they throw the ball with Joe Flacco, run the ball with their three backs and especially the way they play defense, they look to me a lot like the way the New York Giants looked a season ago when they started on their run." – Collinsworth
Sunday's edition of NFL GameDay Morning expands to 4½ hours starting at 9:00 AM ET for a recap of Saturday's games and a preview of Sunday's matchups that will solidify this season's playoff brackets. NFL GameDay Morning Sunday includes part two of Schefter's interview with Shanahan, plus Faulk one-on-one with Vikings RB Adrian Peterson and analysis from special player correspondents on site.
- Word on the Street, part I: Wes Durham of the Falcons Radio Network gives insight into Saturday's NFC Wild Card Game.
- Word on the Street, part II: Dave Pasch of the Cardinals Radio Network provides insight into Saturday's Wild-Card game.
- Colts vs. Chargers report: Lindsay Soto and McGinest have the latest on the AFC Wild-Card game.
- History of the Arizona Cardinals: A look at the history of the Cardinals as they host their first home playoff game in 61 years.
NFL GameDay Morning begins the NFL Network schedule this weekend. Following NFL GameDay Morning will be NFL GameDay Scoreboard at 7:30 PM ET Saturday and 4:00 PM ET Sunday, and NFL GameDay Final Saturday at Midnight ET and Sunday at 8:00 PM ET.

Can you shoot a ramrod out of a BP rifle barrel

Doubt that the jag would make much difference either, for the same reasons.
If the ramrod tumbles, it's maybe due to the same cause as bullets tumbling - hitting something, like maybe the end of the barrel.
Yes, an unfletched arrow can stay head first in flight provided the head is heavier than the rest of the shaft. For stability, the arrow's center of mass must be forward of its aerodynamic center of lift or drag.
A ramrod without a weighted head will not have this stability. You don't need to actually shoot it to see this, just launch one like an arrow with a slingshot. If the brass jag is heavy enough, it may stabilize it but only when flying jag first.
.177 air rifle pellets also stay nose first when fired from a smoothbore because they have a solid nose and a hollow tail. (yes I tried it)

Melissa Etheridge Tickets
Load More
Melissa Etheridge has recently announced plans to play a concert on November 17, 2007, in Florida, and her legiosn of fans must be hoping she'll play more dates in the near future. Etheridge has released ten albums since 1987, when she entered the recording industry. Three went multi-platinum, two went platinum and two gold. Etheridge has stated that she is a Bruce Springsteen fan, and it is an interesting picture to imagine her clutching Bruce Springsteen tickets on her anonymous way into a big arena somewhere. She has indeed played covers of his songs "Thunder Road" and "Born to Run" during her live performances. Grab some Melissa Etheridge tickets and catch this late-2007 treat. Maybe she will surprise you with a Springsteen cover!Melissa Etheridge tickets will rock your world. A perfect blend of pop music and rock music, Melissa Etheridge is on tour and amazing in concert. Whether you rock out with the rest of the crowd or splurge for the best seats in the house, there's nothing like a live performance. Plus, our concert tickets are guaranteed, and are generally 10 to 20 percent cheaper than the competition.


text: Hello, I am looking for best game engine for me. At first I want to say, that I have some experiences ( I made this free game: www.objectarium.net). It was made with scirras construct classic. For my next game I need something more versatile. I am not programmer, so I am looking for something like construct or something with very simple scripting language, easy to learn for anybody... about game- it will be casual puzzle game, with some adventure - I need to have classic username changing for my game - there will be main character, but not a classic adventure (player will influence scene, will "help" him, but not directly control him) - I need something with easy save system - I need it for windows (exe) and if this game engine will be free or not too much expensive, it will be great.... Have you some ideas what engine will be good for this? thanks

From the good old BBC.
Now while I agree with the premise of the article, most of my stuff is digital and more is becoming digital all the time. I have to laugh at the "minimalist" who rides his bike around DC and really just traded in his basement apartment for….bumming off of friends. Seriously?

Spending all your time mooching off of your friends for a place to sleep seems like a great way to unclutter your list of friends.

I read that article and just came over here to post it. You beat me to it.
It was an interesting read, I like the thought of digitalizing a lot of things, CDs, Books, DVDs, Photos,…not that I choose to have only digital copies of a lot of these things. But I agree with everyone's comments about him mooching off his friends. It would be one thing if he downsized to an extremely small and inexpensive apartment, but to basically choose to be homeless is quite another.
Plus, the thought of just living and moving around like that is not practical for a lot of people. If you have kids it would be impossible (or harmful for you kids) and if you have a job that requires any sort of physical things that you need to interact with at home it would be a pain.
But I found the article interesting because there is a lot that people are digitalizing now; however, I think for the most part it is just putting us into a more uncluttered state like people would have been in the past where there were not a ton of CDs and DVDs or even a ton of cheap books cluttering up peoples' lives, they had other things instead.
But I enjoyed the article, but until it got to the point about "mind uploading" which made an interesting article a bit ridiculous.

That "fellow" has more than a few marbles tilting in his pinball machine.
Hmm. Shed my body? Maybe I'd settle for a few pounds! Is that an out-of-body experience?
I honestly do not think anyone can accurately predict where the technology will go.
Why not just go ahead and build your self a hard drive capsule and climb in? It certainly might prove more practical that braving the "mean" streets of New York when it is ten below.
In Chicago, they might deposit you on the street like a broken tricycle to save a parking spot in 5 feet of never plowed snow!
In my next life, I'd have to come back as a hard drive? Nah, I'd rather be riding the waves and frolicking as a dolphin!

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
TCPIP/SMTP: I have an AlphaDS20E running an Oracle Database, I am attempting to use SMTPmail to keep me informed after hours of how batch jobs are doing (completion, or not). The host uses an internal 10.30.x.x address. I can send SMTPmail out to the internet successfully (log says I'm handshaking with outside hosts). However, "reverse-lookup" on remote sites gives me an error; recv buf=553 5.1.8 <firstname.lastname@example.com>... Domain of sender address firstname.lastname@example.com does not exist\ # and SMTPmail is rejected. I have set config smtp /substitute=name="markelcorp.com" and internet mail works, however, in-house mail fails (email@example.com), since SMTP thinks mail is to local host, instead of corporate mailserver. I have set recommended logicalsper your sit e to force SMTPmail, also. I have tried the "/zone=" option, I have tried "/alternate=". Is there a specific combination that will work, allowing the Internet to think I'm the "top-level domain", while the in-house sees me as a "sub-level domain" ????
The Answer is :

TAIPEI ( TheStreet) -- If you're thinking "I've seen this before," you probably have.On Nov. 26, a labor rights group accused Samsung Electronics of hiring girls as young as 16 at two China plants, making men stand while working and requiring workers to sign blank contracts. Overtime past China's legal limit of 36 hours per month, New York-based China Labor Watch says in a statement, "is perhaps the most persistent and abusive aspect of labor violations in Samsung factories." The non-governmental organization (NGO) cites the results of its own investigations since October. You may have heard this kind of story before involving Foxconn, which builds iPhones and iPads for guess-who. The giant Taiwanese assembler has survived a riot, a rash of suicides and a strike involving about 3,000 workers in October. The key word is survived. Apple ( AAPL) gets something like 15% of its money from China -- a number that goes up each year -- as iPhone customers there line up to buy stuff. Chinese consumers still equate the Silicon Valley icon associated with quality among Chinese users and overseas users also hardly flinched at the labor reports. (Apple share prices have fallen since mid-September on supply issues concerning its iPhone 5, not a China problem.) Given China's chronic chip on its increasingly buff shoulder about being pushed around by foreigners, you might expect consumers to start buying domestic stuff if a foreign firm is mistreating Chinese workers. Not to condone blank contracts and relentless overtime, but Apple and Samsung are on such a roll that findings by labor rights NGOs are unlikely to dent their electronics. That means that, whether fair or not, your investments in multinational corporations (MNCs) are safe even if those companies or their suppliers are stung by criticism of their labor practices. "I don't think this is a key factor," says Wai Ho Leong, an regional economist and Korea specialist with Barclays Capital. "I think investments in Samsung are safe, given the significant improvement in its brand premium that we have seen."

text: muxy\ Posted March 1, 2009 i dont really understand the way work permits are granted in the UK (it has something to do with international appearances, right?) but i am confused even more concerning work permit for players that already play in the UK. i just bought Caicedo off ManCity, but the transfer fell through because he did not get the wp. is that according to the rules or is that a bug? surely if he was good enough to get the permit to move to mancity he should not be bugged about it again? i can provide the screenshot, but its in Czech, so i dont think its of any help :/ cheers, muxy 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learn five cultural factors that underpin a successful business growth strategy.
Dave Kerpen, CEO of Likeable Media, offers five business growth strategy tips that seem small but deliver big results.
Writing in Inc., Kerpen starts off by briefly describing his company's growth to over $5 million in sales in five years and points to Likeable Media's company culture as being the most important factor in its success. From there, he outlines the five cultural aspects that he says were instrumental in his business growth strategy.
First, he says, empower your employees to contribute to company-wide decisions with forums that allow them to voice their opinions on a range of different topics. Next, build thought leadership by encouraging "every employee to write" for your company's daily blog, and award a "blog-of-the-month bonus to an employee who wrote an exceptional post."

Coming to a TV Near You: Jim Davis
Jim Davis is gearing up for his first TV ad of the general election, the Buzz is hearing.
He is expected to be on air early this week and, if polls are any guide, he'll use the opportunity to highlight differences with Charlie Crist over education. Last week, Davis outlined his plan to de-emphasize the FCAT. Crist supports the current use of the test and how it is used to measure school performance.

A few more notes, then happy holidays ...
Few more things I want to get to before taking some time off for Christmas, and I'll start with recruiting. As first reported on USFnation.com, the Bulls are now in the hunt for Mike Hayes, one of the nation's top junior college running backs.
Hayes, 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds, had a strong sophomore year at Blinn College in Texas, rushing for 1,269 yards and 17 touchdowns. JCfootball.com, part of the Scout.com network, rates Hayes as a three-star running back, one of only seven in junior college football.
"Mike was a talented athlete, but his work ethic was what set him apart," said Jerry Long, his coach at East Bernard High, just outside Houston. "Everything he did was 110 percent, and he's a very strong kid, with real good speed and good hands."
Hayes said USF just started recruiting him in the last two weeks, and the Bulls are among four teams he's strongly considering, with Kansas State, Kansas and Southern Miss. He plans to visit Kansas State no Jan. 15, then will come to USF on Jan. 22 for what is shaping up to be the Bulls' key recruiting weekend. Hayes said USF coach Jim Leavitt offered him a scholarship over the phone, and he was impressed by an in-person meeting with USF running backs coach Carl Franks.
"It was by far the best meeting I've had with a Division I coach," Hayes said. "We didn't even talk that much about football. It was more about me and my grades. He was talking about me getting my degree, and that's the biggest thing for me."
-- There's a feature on Thursday's Times revisiting USF's new deal with Apple Inc. to outfit every student-athlete with a new laptop -- how much it's costing USF, why it's within the NCAA's regulations and why it's a program other colleges could be following soon.
-- Very happy to share this next link -- you might remember the story this summer about USF offensive line coach Mike Simmonds, who helped save an Orlando boy's life in a North Carolina river while vacationing with his family last summer.
The boy's father, Mike Grady, drowned saving his son's life, and his heroic story has made it all the way to Tennessee, where columnist Roy Exum of the Chattanoogan looked past Derek Jeter and other sports stars to name Grady as his Person of the Year.
-- Probably won't have any more posts until Sunday or Monday, but here's wishing everyone a safe, happy holiday -- thanks again for coming here throughout the year and joining in on the conversation. I look forward to more in 2010.

Dubai, Dec 25(ANI): A.R. Rahman has revealed that his new solo single 'Infinite Love', which he released last week, was conceived two years back.
The award-winning musician-composer, who calls his latest album "message of peace and hope amidst a time of dark omens of destruction", said that it is about love and peace, which is a very relevant issue to talk about.
The Oscar-winner said that there are many things going on right now which need to be changed and that was the main concept of the song, the Gulf News reported.
The legendery composer, whose son Ameen is making his acting debut in 'Infinite Love', asserted that he wanted to make his latest release kid-friendly.
He added that he was focused on triggering some kind of inspiration for kids, to inspire them to be leaders and to remind them that we have such a great culture. (ANI)

I know everyone is. We all have racist thoughts, maybe not "I hate X race!" but we do judge people by the color of their skin, (amung other things) It's just the way our minds work. While that in itself is racist (makes us all racist) That's ok. The bad racism is actually acting out against a race. Even the people who think/say "I hate x race" are ok really, as long as they treat everyone with respect and compassion.

.... Our firm deals with this problem on a daily basis. We have a lot of angry clients, and can certainly relate to your frustration. I'm shocked that this isn't a higher priority issue for SS NZ.
It is a high priority for us as well UncleCheese thats why a team of devs here in SS NZ created the Sphinx module. For most of our clients now we are deploying sphinx based engines for searching. The good thing with sphinx is it works on most shared hosting so we're trying to remove as many barriers to entry as possible. It won't replace the internal search - which could be improved dramatically but AFAIK they decided on sphinx as to not reinvent the wheel considering that gives us so much more functionality.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Thanks Matt,
Since I do not yet own the 2011 santa Fe, can you tell me how many inches(more leg room) I can get if I move it only "to the point" that the seat belt can still be effective?
And can I not just short the seat belt if I move the seat back beyond that point?
Might it be better or easier to extend the seat rail further back?
And would a dealership do this for me? Or alternatively, who or what kind of car expert would do it ?
Do you know if moving the seat would effect the warranty in any way?
Thanks Matt

Posted by Brian Lovett, Editor
A lousy old joke tells us there are two seasons in the North: winter and road construction.
I guess that should strike a chord with turkey hunters. After all, don't we have two distinct periods: the season and the off-season?
Sadly, unless you're on a plane to New Zealand, we're well into the latter. And I don't know about you, but I'm finding it difficult to let go of the former.
It seemed like things had just started to "get right" during the final five days of Wisconsin's season. Birds that had been solidly henned up most of the previous week began getting lonely, and die-hard hunters willing to brave 2:30 a.m. wake-up calls and hordes of hummingbird-sized mosquitoes started scoring consistently.
During the second day of the final period, I got solidly thumped by two field turkeys but decided to try another spot before quitting. I walked into the woods at 10:45 a.m. and was walking out at noon with a gobbler slung over my shoulder. It had been a classic midday hunt, complete with lots of hard gobbling and sunlit strutters slowly coming to the call. I couldn't have ended my home-state season in better fashion.
I wish I could say the same for Minnesota. My last hunt of the year, with friend and fellow T&TH contributing editor Scott Bestul, proved disappointing, though it wasn't for lack of turkeys or trying. Both mornings, gobblers did the same thing: hammered on the roost, talked a bit after flydown and then slowly shut up as they drifted away with hens. To make matters worse, I goofed up the only pair of workable turkeys we encountered by misjudging an afternoon setup and missing a bird with a poor shot.
While driving home from that hunt, feeling the effects of several hard weeks in the woods, I told myself I was ready for spring to end. I was dead tired and needed to catch up on matters I'd brushed aside during the season.
But that weekend, I began to miss it. I'd run a call here and there while putting my stuff away. And then I'd think about the woodpeckers, whitetail fawns and other cool stuff I'd seen afield.
By Monday, I was in full-blown withdrawal. In fact, I'm still there. The only therapy, I guess, is a bit of fishing, some baseball on TV and frequent daydreams to appreciate all the wonderful moments I experienced in the turkey woods.
I'm sure you're in a similar state of mind. It's OK, friend. We'll make it.
Just don't tell my wife that the fall season opens in 114 short days.

"This new technology, in conjunction with our electronic medical records, allows medical staff to gain real-time access to a patient's entire clinical history — past admissions, medication allergies, last recorded vitals, physician's notes and more," said Duane Donaway, director of technology at Hendrick Medical Center. "The system provides user-friendly screens to prompt nurses based on clinical information, delivering automatic alerts to prevent erroneous actions."
KBMA enhances safe medication administration management by ensuring that the right medication is going to the right patient in the correct dosage at the appropriate time. During the process, medical staff scans bar codes on patient wristbands to provide a positive patient identification that allows nursing staff to view the proper medications for that particular patient.
"The process increases the accuracy and efficiency of medication administration, providing caregivers faster and easier access to critical information to manage patient care," said Donaway.
Hendrick Medical Center has already implemented the new technology in nine patient areas. All areas will be live with KBMA by mid-January.

Motorola announced its CEO Edward J. Zander, would be stepping down to be replaced by Greg Brown, the company's President and Chief Operating Officer. Now it's clear that the company is in the market for a new Chief Technology Officer as well. That's because Cisco just announced that it's new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will be coming from Motorola.
Padmasree Warrior was named Motorola's CTO back in 2003. Warrior joins Cisco after being with Motorola for 23 years. She will report directly to John Chambers, Cisco's chairman and chief executive officer.
This move to Cisco might have been planned for a while now, but I think Warrior made the right career decision. Investors are not happy with Motorola's performance over the last year. That's why the company's CEO stepped down, and you can bet that the Chief Technology Officer position would have been next on the list if Warrior had not already had plans to depart the company. You've got to give credit to Warrior and Zander, though. They led the company when the RAZR was released, which brought the company many profits. The only problem is that the company has been struggling to come up with a sequel for the RAZR that proves just as popular.
Read more from the Cisco press release.

Was Jesus Born at the Church of the Nativity?History Q & A
Ms. Chen is a student at the University of Washington and an intern at HNN.
The Church of the Nativity, located about 6 miles south of Jerusalem in the heart of Bethlehem, is traditionally regarded as the site of Christ's birth. The church is built over a cave identified by 2nd century apologist St. Justin Martyr as the site of the manger where Jesus was laid after his birth.
The belief that Jesus was born in Bethlehem is based mostly upon the birth narratives of Christ provided in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke:
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn." (Luke 2:4-7)
According to this passage, Jesus' parents were from Nazareth, but traveled to Bethlehem in order to be counted in a census; this leads to Jesus being born in a manger in Bethlehem, rather than his parent's native home in Nazareth. In the book of Matthew, Jesus is also born in Bethlehem. But his parents are said to have been from Bethlehem. And he isn't born in a manger, much less a cave. (Matthew 1:18-2:12)
The contradictions in the accounts and their unreliability -- there is, for instance, little historical evidence of a census being taken at the time, as Luke states -- have led many scholars to believe that Jesus may not have been born in Bethlehem at all, a belief that would effectively devalue the significance of the Church of the Nativity.
According to Robin Lane Fox, the discrepancies can easily be explained."Early Christian tradition," he says,"did not remember, or perhaps ever know, exactly where and when Jesus had been born." What was important, Fox suggests, was that Jesus be identified with Bethlehem because in the Old Testament it was prophesied that the messiah would be descended from David and David was from Bethlehem.
Where was Jesus actually born? Probably in Nazareth. He is often referred to as"Jesus of Nazareth," and it was naming convention at that time to call someone by the town where one was born, if not by the name of the father. So if Jesus was indeed born in Nazareth, or possibly in another Bethlehem (in Galilee) as some suggest, then the Church of Nativity may be nothing more than a church built on top of an unimportant cave.
The actual birthplace of Jesus is of no real consequence to the Christian faith; whether born in Bethlehem in a manger or in a house in Nazareth, the emphasis of the Christian church is on Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

George Wolf - 5/28/2002
I visited the Church of the Nativity in 1970.
The tour group was shown around the church and at some point we were led into the cave under the church -- only you can't tell it was ever a real cave because it's long since been finished with nice walls.
A narrow alcove frames the spot where the infant Jesus once lay, with a star on the floor and cermonial lamps hanging from the ceiling (in a space about two or three feet high).
One discovers that there are actually two alcoves (in the same cave) which are the "true" spot. Because my group was American, we were shown the Roman Catholic True Spot. If we'd been from Russia or Greece, we would have been shown the Greek Orthodox True Spot.
Other than whether you swear by Eastern or Western tradition, there is really no way to tell which is the real true spot. In fact, as the article explains, the point is probably moot. At the time, I was so moved by what I saw that I shouted out, "George Washington slept here!" I was of course promptly shushed by my fellow Americans.
I had three thoughts:
1. The Door of Humility was neat because the guide told us it kept out Crusaders' horses (I was nineteen then).
2. To that time in my life, that church was the oldest building I'd ever been in.
3. Palestine and Israel constitute the World's Oldest Tourist Trap.
During the seige, I thought to myself that even had the two sides been raving anti-clerical Maoists, they wouldn't have dared wreck that old church. It brought everybody too much business.
Thanks for reading,

Nissan Leaf NISMO RC Race Car Revealed Ahead of NY Auto Show
Rumors had indicated that Nissan would unveil the next-generation Versa at the New York Auto Show this week, but no one saw this coming. Above is a lone image of what the Japanese automaker is calling the Leaf NISMO RC (Racing Competition). Yes, a Leaf race car!
Build by Nissan's NISMO racing division the car makes use of an electric drivetrain similar to the one found in the production Leaf with a 80 kW electric motor that produces 107-hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-62 mph time of 6.85 seconds.
Nissan claims it can be recharged up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes and can run for 20 minutes at a time.
With styling cues similar to the Leaf, this car is dramatically different with a new coupe design and 18-inch wheels. Plus it's 6.7-inches wider, 0.8-inches longer and sports a 3.9-inch shorter wheelbase. Overall it sits over a foot (13.8-inches) lower than the Leaf production car.
Based on an entirely new platform made of carbon fiber, the NISMO RC weighs just 2,068 lbs – roughly 40 percent less than the road car.
"Combining the talents of NISMO, Nissan's world renowned motorsports group, and engineers behind some of the company's Super GT and FIA GT1 race teams, the Nissan LEAF NISMO RC will serve as a rolling laboratory for the accelerated development of EV and aerodynamic systems, as well as a platform for the development of new green motorsports series," said Carlos Tavares, chairman, Nissan Americas in a statement. "Nissan LEAF owners are fully embracing this new world of zero emission technology. We believe the same potential exists in the motorsports world as well, with Nissan proud to be first on the starting grid."
Nissan has announced it will showcase the car at several motorsports events this year and is examining the possibility of launching a NISMO RC spec series. Look for more images and details from AutoGuide's 2011 NY Auto Show coverage here, starting Wednesday, April 20th.

I've often likened music to films. For example: the borderline pretentious yet lovable elements to a Todd Solondz film (Happiness, Welcome to the Dollhouse) parallels that of The Flaming Lips; the minimalist qualities and historical importance in Stanley Kubrick films (Eyes Wide Shut, 2001: A Space Odyssey) are in the vein of composer Steve Reich; and the esoteric yet accessible nature of David Lynch films (Mullholland Drive, Blue Velvet) can be linked to Sonic Youth. Then, of course, there are the obvious ones: drama (Celine Deon), comedy (Weird Al), thriller (Michael Jackson), sci-fi (Pink Floyd), avant-garde (John Cage), porn (Britney Spears), action (Limp Bizkit), etc.
In contrast, there are a wealth of differences between music and films. The Flaming Lips are much more out-of-this-world when compared to Todd Solondz; Steve Reich used a different kind of minimalism than Kubrick; and Sonic Youth are not nearly as troubling as David Lynch. But if any group is worthy of the horror movie parallel, it's Upland. Upland's eponymous album is fudge-packed with enough creeping noises and mysterious thuds that you'll want to listen with lights on and door locked. Trying to describe the sounds will make me feel like I'm in 4th grade again, so I'll spare you the "alien" and "weird" adjectives. But just know this: the sounds on Upland are so freakishly tangible that you'll feel as if something is tapping you from behind.
Heaps of electro-acoustic artists have tried combining the organic with the inorganic, and loads of strictly electronic artists have failed to provide any palpable human emotion within its framework. But Upland relinquishes the safety-net of organic instruments and provides an authentic emotion with electronics alone. Though it won't give you a euphoric balloon in the middle of your belly, it will scare the bejesus out of you, taking it one step further than the strict mental candy of similar artists of its kind.
However, being violent and scary is where the comparisons to a horror movie ends. Unlike most horror movies, Upland is neither clichéd or a pastiche, and you can forget about the big in-your-face jugs and nonsensical plotlines: The album is unique and original. Although it's neither groundbreaking nor revolutionary, it provides yet another fresh perspective on how to use the computer as an instrument, sounding like a more tasteful version of Autechre.
It seems the trouble with many electronic artists these days is their lack of variety, many rely on repetition and overall mood to conjure reactions. But Upland procures reactions based on its beautiful variations. The songs jump from rhythmic ("Block") to free-form ("Flex"), from minimal ("Root") to complex ("Marshgate")-- but don't think for a minute that the overall theme is sacrificed. The approach may be different, but the ambience is similar throughout, creating one of the most cohesive electronic albums I've experienced in a long time. Warning: Don't listen alone.

BAe plans Italian link
The alliance would allow BAe to control the Eurofighter project
British Aerospace says it may form an alliance with the military aircraft subsidiary of Italy's Finmeccanica.
The move would give BAe control of the Eurofighter project and a clear dominance of the European manufacture of combat aircraft.
Any alliance would be seen as a response to the merger agreement between Aerospatiale Matra of France and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (Dasa) of France. It is to buy Spain's Casa.
The newly merged company is to be known as the European Aeronautic, Space and Defence Company (EADS).
EADS will have 43% of the Eurofighter consortium.
BAe has a 37.5% stake in Eurofighter while Alenia Aerospazio, the Finmeccanica subsidiary, has a 19.5% stake.
EADS may also try to ally itself with Alenia.
"There will be a competition with France and Germany to bring Alenia in to a joint venture," BAe's executive director Mike Turner said.
"Clearly we would like them in the BAe camp. They are a very important player, particularly in the defence sector," Mr Turner said.
Turbulence in aerospace
News of the merger between the French and German aerospace companies posed a questionmark over BAe's future.
As EADS is predominantly a civil aerospace firm, BAe wants to cement its position in defence aerospace.
The merger has meant that EADS now owns 80% of Airbus, the civil aerospace consortium, with half of its revenue generated by Airbus.
European governments want the plane-making consortium to become a lean, privatised, fully-fledged company before it receives any more subsidies. This may result in EADS becoming a much smaller company.
BAe last week finalised agreement with Finmeccanica on electronics and missiles joint ventures.

SMM update: EG officially out
Posted by Ulrich "KongoTime" Hanten at 04 December 2011 05:57
We just recieved word from the tournament administration that Evil Geniuses have been disqualified, after missing the deadline for their match against Kingsurf-JJ. This erases all hope of a regular SMM-conclusion by the westerners.
EG-player Rasmus "MiSeRy-" Filipsen announced a boycott of the remaining rounds yesterday already, after his team suffered defeat against MiTH in the second attempt to complete their winner bracket quarter final. Prior, EG have taken control in the first encounter before MiTH captain Tnk disconnected around the 15-minute-mark, leading the administration to decide on a rematch, which the Thais won later.
The offer of MiTH to go for a third game to decide the series recieved a lot of public support, driven by the hope to find a peaceful solution, but could not be realized due to lack of time, setting EG's further tournament path in the lower bracket in stone.
As EG did not appear at the venue throughout the day and missed the date of their next match by now, the disqualification just became official and Kingsurf-JJ proceed to the next round.

The Gartside Gurgler may well be the most popular and successful surface fly designed in recent years, used by anglers all over the world to land a wide variety of sport fish. As with many popular patterns, flytyer's often make their own adaptations to original patterns and variations abound. But this is the ORIGINAL Gartside Gurgler, as I first tied it more than twenty years ago.
The Gurgler can be tied in both large and small sizes and on either fresh water or salt water hooks and in a variety of colors to suit conditions or simply the tyer's whims. In addition to the white Gurgler described below, I also tie some of my Gurglers in yellow and in black. I don't believe the fish pay much attention to the different colors, but I find that under certain light conditions it's easier for me to see yellow or black and this often makes a big difference when I'm tracking the fly.
Tying the Gurgler
Mustad #34011 or 34007 (SW), sizes 4-2/0
Danville's 3/0 or Monocord, white
Very sparse bucktail or marabou plumes overlaid with five or six strands of pearl Glimmer or Krystal Flash
White closed-cell foam, with five evenly-spaced segments. Foam should be 1/2"-5/8" wide for most flies. Use foam at least 1/8" thick.
White or Grizzly saddle hackle palmered between segments
Carapace or Shell:
Closed-cell foam pulled over body and secured just behind eye.Trim foam leaving an excess of about 1/2" protruding beyond eye.
Attach thread just behind eye and wind back approx. halfway along shank. At mid-shank tie in a very sparse tail of bucktail or full tail of marabou plumes (tail should be approx. 1 1/2 times shank length). Leave rear half of shank bare.
Tie in 6" of five or six strands of Glimmer at base of tail (tie them down in the middle of your strands, so that you have 3" forward of your thread wraps and 3" behind). Now bring the forward strands back over the tail and take a turn or two of thread to secure the strands and keep them out of your way).
Cut 4"-5" of foam (approx. 3/4" wide for most sizes) and lay this flat on top of shank. (Remember that body and shell are formed from ONE piece of foam.) Tie in so that front part of foam ends just short of eye, leaving around 2"-3" trailing to the rear of the shank.
With your tying thread, make five distinct and evenly-spaced segments, cupping the foam around the hook shank as you wind thread forward.When segments are formed, wind thread to the rear in between segments, tightening thread as you do so.
At beginning of rearmost segment, tie in saddle feather (with one side of hackle stripped) by the tip. Move thread forward again between segments up to the eye of the hook. Palmer feather forward between segments and tie down just behind eye. Trim excess.
Bring foam over top of body and tie down snugly just behind eye. Bring five or six strands of Glimmer over the shell, snug them down and tie down at foam tie-down point. Trim away excess Glimmer. Whip finish head and trim lip to desired height.
You can trim your lip in various ways, using a simple straight cut (the most usual way) or you may round the corners a bit to further cut down wind resistance and make the fly less likely to spin as it travels through the air.

NYC subway mom witnessed unsolved local murder
Posted July 9, 2014
Updated July 10, 2014
Clinton, N.C. — A woman who authorities say abandoned her baby in a New York City subway station was a witness to an unsolved murder in Sampson County nearly two years ago – something her family says might have led her to the crimes she's been accused of committing.
Frankea Aleasha Dabbs, 20, was arrested early Tuesday on charges of child abandonment and acting in a manner injurious to a child after authorities say she left the 10-month-old child, Milaney, in a stroller on a subway platform Monday and then boarded a train.
A New York Police Department spokesman said she told detectives she couldn't care for the baby because she is homeless and thought she was leaving her in a safe place.
Dabbs' father, Frankie Dabbs, says he believes his daughter's history drove her into a depression and caused the downward spiral that eventually led her to leaving her baby.
"I think it's because she had a tragic past. She saw her boyfriend get murdered – the baby's daddy – and I think it, maybe, escalated from there," Frankie Dabbs said. "She was holding all of that in."
Donald Jerome Harvey, 30, was killed at his Clinton home Nov. 6, 2012, when three masked men broke into the house and fatally shot him.
Authorities have yet to make any arrests in the case.
"She said she was under the bed hiding, and three guys came into the house and just took the baby's dad away," Frankie Dabbs said.
Sampson County sheriff's Capt. Eric Pope confirmed Wednesday that she was a witness to the crime.
"Anyone who would witness any type of violence, it always has an impact of some sort of another," Pope said.
But Frankea Dabbs initially told investigators her boyfriend was killed in California, where she, at one point, had reportedly been staying with an aunt who tried to help get her life back on track.
Frankea Dabbs, who at one point lived in Raleigh, has arrest histories in Wake County – for prostitution and breaking and entering – and in California.
In a report Tuesday, The New York Times cited the aunt, ShaRon Edmonds-Dent, as saying things did not work out and that, at one point, Frankea Dabbs returned to prostitution and would sleep with her baby in public restrooms or dingy hotels.
Frankie Dabbs said that most recently she had been staying with an aunt in Roanoke Rapids but that she took off last week without telling anyone.
The next thing he knew, he said, she had been arrested.
During an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon, a New York prosecutor told a judge that Frankea Dabbs showed no remorse for what police say she did.
Reporting on the initial court appearance, WCBS-TV said she had to be calmed by her public defender after a profanity-laced outburst about rapper Jay-Z, whom she referred to by his legal name, Sean Corey Carter.
Frankea Dabbs, who was being held without bond because she's considered a flight risk, is expected to be back in court Friday.
Meanwhile, her father, still struggling to understand what happened, says he plans to try to get back the child, who has been placed in the care of New York's Administration for Child Services.
"This is heartbreaking for me," Frankie Dabbs said. "She was just a good mother. She was the sweetest mother."
