CrystalDiskMark 3.0 Tests
CrystalDiskMark 3.0 is a file transfer and operational bandwidth benchmark tool from Crystal Dew World that offers performance transfer speed results using sequential, 512KB random, and 4KB random samples. For our test results chart below, the 4KB 32-Queue Depth read and write performance was measured using a 1000MB space. CrystalDiskMark requires that an active partition be set on the drive being tested, and all drives are formatted with NTFS on the Intel ICH10 controller set to AHCI-mode. Benchmark Reviews uses CrystalDiskMark to illustrate operational IOPS performance with multiple threads. In addition to our other tests, this benchmark allows us to determine operational bandwidth under heavy load.
Our tests of the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro-RE Solid State Drive were each consistent, but only the maximum speeds were charted below. Sequential tests on the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro-RE SSD produced a maximum read speed of 208.3 MB/s, while the write speed was only 141.4 MB/s. Oddly enough, reported sequential write speed actually increased slightly with each test. The sequential file transfer speeds have traditionally been low with this benchmark tool, especially for SandForce controllers, which is why we will concentrate on the operational IOPS performance for this section.
CrystalDiskMark 3.0 reported 512K results of 192.8 MB/s read and 138.0 MB/s write performance. 4K tests produced 19.50 read and 76.29 write performance. 4KB queue depth 32 IOPS is one area where SandForce-based SSDs truly excel, and the Mercury Extreme Pro-RE climbs nears the top of our performance charts.
Displayed in the chart below, the maximum 4KB queue depth 32 IOPS performance results for several enthusiast-level storage products illustrate which products offer the best operation under load:

the agility 2, Vertex 2 and, i might be wrong, but the corsair are all cheaper.
the mistake here being that it is sold on a MAC website, which, instantly means you will pay more for it, because it is pushed as a MAC product.
she's fast, or dear is she fast, but its not the cheaper of the SF-1200 controllers.
Boot up time is more then twice as fast as before. Prior boot up average 52.6 seconds. Boot up average now 22.1 seconds. Applications even faster !

Boot time reduced by about 40 to 50%.
At start up, the 7 or 8 apps I have set to auto-launch ALL open together within one or two bounces. I never used auto-launch at login before because it used to be so slow.
Even apps like OpenOffice 3.2 and Filemaker Pro 11 launch within 1 or 2 dock bounces. Mail launches and is usable within .5 second of clicking on it. Paging through large PDFs in preview is smooth and almost seamless, as is Coverflow or iPhoto preview of large groups of photos or PDFs.
Best upgrade I've made to any computer I can ever recall owning; been using them since the Timex Sinclair 1000 in 1980.

UK Law
Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Hi Tom,
I didn't phrase my question correctly. Let me give you more details, I have intiated an online application for student visa and my appointment to submit the documents is due next week. The course will start mid october
Now, If I get the student visa and later I recieve the job offer and decide to go for it, can I do that? Is there anything in specific that I need to do?
Thanks in advance
Well yes...
Thanks Tom. Ok I am afraid I've given you the wrong impression, I genuinely intend to study in the UK, and I will do so. It is simply that my employer gave me the option to transfer to our branch in the UK and pursue this course on part-time basis. I am only asking because I haven't made a decision to take their offer and I would like to have both options open.
Based on what I have mentioned above, is there anything else you think I should know? If not, I will happily rate your response.

Tribal Warfare
When she moved to Houston 20 years ago, Carroll Cocchia says, she couldn't find any other American Indians. "They were invisible." Two years ago, encouraged by Dick Huebner, executive director of the Houston Minority Business Council, she started the Native American Chamber of Commerce. She would bring Indians together, helping Indian-owned businesses develop clout through collective action.
They would also offer college scholarships, cultural events and volunteer opportunities at food banks. It all sounded effective, empowering and wonderful.
Problem was, there was already an Indian chamber of commerce in town. The 13-year-old Dallas-based American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Texas has a Houston branch. In fact, in late 1999, Cocchia applied to replace the regional director of that organization.
"Then some things came up that were very disturbing," says Shirley Hankins, the chamber's executive director. "Real disturbing We have concerns about how she collects money and what she does with it." A few months after the Dallas chamber's board refused to hire her, Cocchia created the American Indian Chamber of Commerce (Gulf Coast Region). Since then, she has been accused of misrepresenting herself as part of the Dallas-based chamber and was legally forced to change her organization's name.

Another issue is that although Cocchia claims to be at least one-third Indian, she looks entirely white. With long reddish-brown hair and amber eyes, she looks more like she stepped out of a Wendy Wasserstein play than Dances with Wolves. Since she doesn't have the paperwork to prove her tribal heritage, many Houston Indians don't believe she has Indian blood.
"I just know that Carroll's heart isn't Indian," says Lauren Silverbird, a full-blooded Kiowa and Wichita Indian. "She don't even know how to dance."
Silverbird's cousin, Mitchell Boyiddle, says the chamber is a "whites only" organization that doesn't do anything for local Indians. "She's not representing nobody but herself," says Boyiddle, a Kiowa, Wichita and Delaware Indian. "I know there's an old man full-blood Kiowa sitting in his house with no air conditioning, and she hasn't helped him. I don't know who she's helping. She's not helping the Indians at all."
While Cocchia has supporters -- the chamber comprises almost 300 members -- many Indians are convinced that she's nothing more than a con artist. And the unity that was her original goal appears elusive at best.
Cocchia says she doesn't look like a "storybook Indian." She speaks with an upstate New York accent and wears a strand of silver and turquoise plastic beads against her black crushed velvet shirt. Raised in Liberty, New York, she rims her eyelids in thick black liner like Blackfoot women. When she speaks of Indians, she usually says "they" instead of "we," and she cuts her photograph out of Houston Chronicle clippings about the chamber. "I hate to see the truth," she says. "I'm fat and old."
Cocchia says she's half Polish and half Indian. But only her maternal grandfather was a full-blooded Blackfoot from Southern Alberta -- so that makes her a quarter Indian. "No," she insists. "I'm a half." She says her Scottish-English grandmother was an eighth Snowbird Cherokee.
That still doesn't add up to a half.
"I'm a half," she says adamantly. "No, you're right. I got my fractions screwed up."
At the next meeting with the Houston Press she rearranges her fractions, saying her grandmother was definitely a quarter Cherokee, so she's one-third American Indian. "It's not half, and yet it's more than a quarter, so I'm thinking a third," Cocchia says. "I really hadn't ever given it a whole lot of thought. To me, I'm Indian. What quantums, I don't much care about."
Cocchia hasn't registered with her tribe, so she doesn't have an identification card with a tribal number proving her heritage. She says she never applied for a card because she's never needed one -- not wanting grant, scholarship or casino money. Besides, she says, cards are a white creation used to monitor her people. The more people ask her to produce a card, the more adamant she is that she doesn't need one. "It's become a thing for me," she says. "It's the principle."
When she's not working on the chamber, Cocchia says, she earns her living as the marketing director for both The Minority Business News and The American Indian Business News. "I'm a lot into sales," she says. "I enjoy the art of selling."
Cocchia allots 10 percent of her time to her day job, spending every spare moment slaving on chamber business, she says.
"We may not make the majority of the census in the city of Houston, but we are very connected to each other," says chamber board member Anna Edwards, who is one quarter San Juan Pueblo Indian. "We're not just an organization of putting on our regalia and dancing in our traditional outfits. We're not as visible on an everyday basis, but we're very much out there."
Edwards says she has to commend Cocchia "for her unselfishness, for her time and loyalty."
Cocchia maintains that the Dallas-based chamber's Houston chapter had died long before she started her own chamber. "People just fell out of it," she says. She thought about revitalizing the pre-existing chamber, but Houstonians were sour to the idea, grumbling that the money stayed in Dallas and that Houston wasn't even mentioned in the newsletter. "It was taxation without representation," Cocchia says. "I couldn't get anyone to join."
On March 15, 2000, Cocchia mailed a letter to local Indians announcing the creation of The American Indian Chamber of Commerce (of Greater Houston).
But the Dallas-based chamber has a copyright on the name, and its lawyers forced Cocchia to cease and desist. Cocchia changed her chamber's name to The Native American Chamber of Commerce. "She just tweaked it a bit," Hankins says. "Everybody thinks it's us, and it's not."
Since Cocchia started the Houston chamber, Hankins says, she's received phone calls once or twice a week from Indians, corporations and chiefs wanting to know who Cocchia is, what she's doing and why she says she's affiliated with the Dallas chamber. "It is embarrassing the entire Indian community," Hankins says.
Hankins warns corporations who think of investing in Cocchia's chamber to be careful. She tells them to closely investigate the organization before writing a check, because they might be throwing away their money. "She's after some money, whatever it takes," Hankins says. "If there was anything I could do, I would stop her."
Frank Swimmer-McLemore is the type of Indian people expect to meet. His graying hair tied back in a pony tail, he speaks in slow, measured tones easily slipping into Cherokee. A living textbook, Swimmer-McLemore can spend hours reciting Indian-related regulations or outlining why "Native American" is an inaccurate, oppressive, government-imposed term.
A full-blooded Western Cherokee, Swimmer-McLemore was born beneath a bridge in Cherry Tree, Oklahoma. His father was a traditional medicine man; in the fifth grade Swimmer-McLemore was sent to a government-run boarding school 60 miles east of Tulsa.
Cocchia met Swimmer-McLemore when he spoke at an event for the Cherokee Cultural Society of Houston. "We just kinda clicked," she says. "He's a wealth of information and knowledge."
They rushed into friendship; Swimmer-McLemore became Cocchia's long- distance telephone mentor. "He was always helping, guiding, giving advice," she says. But the relationship has since crashed in bitter discord.
In Dallas, Swimmer-McLemore says, he helped establish a number of Indian heritage and cultural organizations including the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Texas, the American Indian Center of Dallas and Fort Worth and the Dallas Intertribal Center.
He moved to Houston a year ago because he liked the challenge of helping Cocchia's chamber.
Cocchia's account is somewhat different. She says that Swimmer-McLemore frantically called her from a pay phone after the man he was living with kicked him out and that she came to his rescue, quickly dispatching a member of the chamber's board who brought Swimmer-McLemore to Houston.
Together Cocchia and Swimmer-McLemore went to powwows, sponsored Indian-sensitivity teacher training seminars and solicited corporations. Swimmer-McLemore and Cocchia made a good team. Membership grew, and corporate money followed.
"He walked in here trusting," Mitchell Boyiddle says. "All they wanted to do was use his color."
Things soured between the two this summer after Swimmer-McLemore spoke at a conference and was supposed to receive a $50 honorarium. Cocchia says she gave cash to the man Swimmer-McLemore was living with and that he decided not to pass the money on to Swimmer-McLemore.
Outraged, Swimmer-McLemore wrote nasty letters to Cocchia and the Indian community. Cocchia responded with mass e-mails saying Swimmer-McLemore was unreliable and an alcoholic. Armed with documents that he claims show Cocchia mishandled money, Swimmer-McLemore joined Jay and Lauren Silverbird in forming an ad hoc committee to investigate Cocchia and the chamber.
In mid-July, Swimmer-McLemore sent a certified letter notifying Cocchia that he was filing a class action lawsuit in Montgomery County small claims court against her and the chamber. The letter alleges that she failed to establish a bank account for the chamber and instead put membership fees and donations into either her personal checking account or other nonprofit organizations registered in her name.
"We find the practices of commingling funds bordering on illegality, highly irregular and definitely unethical," he wrote. "You continue to solicit large amounts of donations and/or contributions from the general public stating that you are providing ongoing services to American Indian people and their community. No known record exists which corroborates your claim."
Swimmer-McLemore demanded that Cocchia immediately resign from her self-appointed position. If she didn't, he threatened to initiate legal action. He copied the letter to Senator Phil Gramm, the Texas secretary of state and the IRS.
Ten days later Conroe attorney John Choate, representing both Cocchia and the chamber, sent a letter to Swimmer-McLemore stating that his information was false. Choate declared Swimmer-McLemore's letter "nothing more than the ramblings of an unorganized mind that has no basis in fact or truth." Choate ordered Swimmer-McLemore to cease and desist his campaign against Cocchia. "He's going around telling all kind of lies," Choate says. "It's completely frivolous. He's just trying to harass her. He's mad because he can't get control of the organization."
Swimmer-McLemore never filed the lawsuit in small claims court, but a week later he contacted the Conroe Police Department and the FBI. He then filed a criminal complaint with Michael McDougal, the Montgomery County district attorney. Swimmer-McLemore alleged that the chamber didn't maintain records of membership fees or account for corporate donations and contributions. He also said regular financial reports weren't available to the public.
The day before Thanksgiving, the district attorney's office closed its investigation.
"There wasn't enough proof at this particular time for us to do any indictments or further investigation," says Ted Pearce, an investigator for the Ninth Judicial District who is one quarter Choctaw.
Pearce returned the ad hoc committee's three-ring "evidence" binder, which could easily be a scrapbook Cocchia's mother made. There are copies of Cocchia's business cards and mission statements for pro-Indian organizations. Other innocuous items include Cocchia's proud announcement of the new chamber, an excited e-mail saying she may have found some condemned land that could be cheaply purchased to build an Indian village, and a couple of press releases. The most incendiary allegations -- mentions of Cocchia possibly embezzling money when she was the treasurer of Wordcrafters, an Indian writers organization, or not paying back money she borrowed -- are handwritten and unsubstantiated.
Pearce says when he examined the notebook it looked like donations and dues were possibly placed in an insecure fund. Maybe there was a misappropriation of funds, he says, but if so, it might have been entirely accidental and unintentional.
When ad hoc committee members created the notebook, they didn't include any explanations as to the significance of each document. Flipping through the book Pearce returned to her, Silverbird points out that on some chamber documents, Cocchia used the federal identification number for another nonprofit organization she runs. Silverbird also notes letters where Cocchia asks Indians to make checks payable to an account for another pro-Indian nonprofit organization she runs, Challenge America Inc.
Cocchia insists that her operation is 100 percent aboveboard. "There's no money and there's no glory," she says. "I don't get a salary."
Her financial report is handwritten by her accountant in small hard-to-read script. He didn't want to charge her extra to put it on PowerPoint, she says. She insists that the chamber owes her money and that she doesn't owe a cent. She says she's made personal loans of $1,000 to the chamber and there are loans from Challenge America. And part of the chamber's financial business is run out of the Challenge America checking account.
All the money she raises for the chamber, she says, goes directly into the organization. "Nobody wants a slush fund. Nobody wants money just hanging around," she says. "It has to all go back into the programs. That's why we all have jobs. We get paid for our expenses -- if we're lucky."
Originally the chamber rented office space, but Cocchia says the non-Indian landlord rearranged their artifacts when they were out of the office and started charging outrageous, unnecessary fees like $2 per fax. Cocchia now runs the chamber out of a bedroom in the Woodlands home she rents. She charges the chamber rent and utilities and bills for office supplies, furniture and repairs. She discourages people from coming to her office because she lives with her unhealthy ex-husband and her six-month-old grandbaby. She also charges the chamber for auto expenses and highway tolls from her trips into town. "Tolls are expensive for me," she says.
Cocchia says things are looking up and looking good for the chamber. She says Dell wants to donate computers and General Motors and Philip Morris are interested in becoming corporate sponsors. She talks about creating a medical and dental clinic. "Maybe it's meant to be," she says. "Finally."
This year, the chamber's third annual Legend of the White Buffalo cultural event is tentatively scheduled to be held in the Astrodome. But Cocchia says she's rethinking that plan because of the "disaster" last year. Cocchia advertised that 5,000 dancers from across the country would compete for $15,000 in prize money. The day before the October 29 event, Cocchia says, she found out that all her corporate sponsors' contributions would be "delayed" because of the September 11 terrorist attacks. "It was too late to call anyone," she says. The week before Thanksgiving, she still owed the dancers $9,500.
Cocchia says she doesn't have the financial statement for the last six months, but as of July, the chamber was $13,000 in the hole.
Deborah Scott is a founding member of the Cherokee Cultural Society of Houston, which strives to preserve Cherokee heritage and traditions. One of the most active and inclusive tribal organizations, the society has a newsletter and regular meetings and events. Scott says Cocchia entered the society and other Indian organizations acting like the perfect volunteer: kind, impassioned and ready to work. This, Scott says, is how Cocchia finagles power. "She appears to be of good will and everybody's so eager for help because we're all kinda exhausted. We don't check credentials, we don't do the research," Scott says. "I have seen the community become very polarized around activities that Carroll is involved in. She has a very benign presentation and so people are eager to believe the best."
Scott says that during Cocchia's yearlong stint on the Cherokee Cultural Society's board she misrepresented herself as being the spokesperson for the entire group. "It was an abuse of power, an abuse of authority," Scott says. "I have observed that organizations that Carroll gets involved with have occasionally gone under -- and financial accountability is always lacking."
Scott says she called the FBI herself when Cocchia started selling bottled water called Cherokee Rain. But Scott says she didn't have the energy to pursue the documentation that agents said they would need, so nothing was done.
Cocchia says she was selling the water for an Indian-owned business based in Kansas City, Missouri, that was trying to expand to Texas and Oklahoma. She says the water was a good idea, but the company couldn't compete with Ozarka's cheap prices.
Scott says the Indian community has become divided between people who support Cocchia and people trying to corral her. She says angry Indians have threatened to sue Cocchia but have never filed charges because they don't have the money or they don't want to air grievances outside the Indian community.
What Houston Indians need, Scott says, is a pan-Indian leader who can bridge the gap between warring tribes and bring everyone together. "Carroll saw a void and moved to fill it -- no one moved to stop her, or knew how to stop her," Scott says. "She's got good ideas and she has no fear of approaching anyone. Those are really strong qualities if they're accountable and responsible."
Strife occurs within urban Indian communities across the country, says Jonathan Hook, a Ph.D. in Indian Studies from the University of Houston and president of the San Antonio-based American Indian Resource Center.
"People tend to forget we're made up of 500 different nations so there are a lot of different agendas," Hook says.
When Indians from different parts of the country, with contradicting cultural traditions and beliefs, are lumped together, they often fight, he says.
"It's like having all the Baptists in the same room and having them all agree," Scott says.
A large problem within urban Indian communities, Hook says, is that people have discarded traditional Indian communal philosophies, instead employing capitalist mind-sets.
"There are people today who have adopted a white mentality who say, 'What's in it for me?' And that's been destructive," Hook says. "There are people who don't care about the ethics or morality of issues -- which is a very un-Indian perspective."
The ad hoc committee formed to investigate Cocchia has disbanded. Members fought among themselves and couldn't continue working together. Jay and Lauren Silverbird asked Swimmer-McLemore to move out of their house.
The ad hoc committee was also striving to form an American Indian heritage center. But work on that project was suspended in late November; members say Swimmer-McLemore was trying to take too much credit and have too much power -- then he stopped holding meetings.
"He's about as bad as Carroll is," Lauren Silverbird says. "He's got good intentions, but he's still a lost soul, too. I can't endorse either one of them. I'm thoroughly disgusted with these people."
Sitting in Kenny & Ziggy's eating a plate of pickles and chicken salad, Cocchia looks like she's about to cry. Her eyes are glassy, but she says she doesn't have any tears left. She says she gets her "butt kicked" all the time and that people say mean, nasty things about her because they want to overthrow her and take control of the chamber. "I started this thing from nothing," she says. "You're gonna have people trying to hurt you, because they want to be a part of it."
She says she doesn't understand why Swimmer-McLemore is "throwing dirt" and slandering her. "All of the things that he's saying we've proven were wrong," she says. As for his accusation that she embezzled money from Wordcrafters, she says her son accidentally took the group's ATM card, thinking it was the one for her account, and withdrew $50, which she immediately replaced. "Everyone was happy," she says.
Cocchia says she feels like someone is attacking her child. "It hurts," she says. "I didn't do anything to deserve this." Cocchia agrees the Indian community is divided and not working together. Her membership isn't what it could be, she says, because Indians by nature aren't trusting. "Indians are great for sitting back and watching," she says. "Indians are always that way. They sit back and they watch. They don't have a whole lot of reason to trust."
She, too, thinks the community needs a leader everyone can trust and respect. And she doesn't think she's the one. "I don't believe a woman could," she says. "It has to be male. Everyone will like him and trust him."
She says her final fight is to get the Native American community center up and running. "When this community center goes through, I'm just going to leave town," she says. Or maybe she'll just leave when she finishes the proposal, she says.
She talks about the legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, the iridescent Indian spirit who appeared 2,000 years before Columbus when the Sioux were starving and fighting among themselves. The woman came to the village bringing prosperity and peace. She taught Indians to smoke peace pipes and to solve problems with words, not arrows. She said if they practiced what she taught, there would be peace and harmony and she would return. Which is what Houston Indians need, Cocchia says.
Cocchia's waiting for the white buffalo woman to come. She knows she isn't that woman.

CLEVELAND — With the AFC North title to be decided on the shores of Lake Erie in the season's last two weeks, coach Eric Mangini had the chance, perhaps futile, to make a final stand. To show his Browns could not only compete with division powers Baltimore and Pittsburgh, but emerge victorious.
It didn't happen Sunday.
The Ravens (11-4) clinched their third straight trip to the playoffs with a 20-10 win. The Browns fell to 5-10 to assure their ninth double-digit-loss finish in 12 seasons since returning in 1999. The Ravens secured a wild-card spot and need a win next week against the Bengals plus a Browns upset of the Steelers to win the AFC North.
More photos below.
The only question left to be answered for the Browns is whether Mangini will be retained for a third season. No decision will come from president Mike Holmgren until after the season, but the odds get longer by the Sunday.
"You're judged in this league by how many wins you produce," linebacker David Bowens said. "That's how people hold you accountable. We just haven't been able to win the close games.
"What we have to do is figure out what the formula is. What's it going to take?"
The Browns, who finished 2009 with four straight victories to go 5-11, have lost three straight to turn a season of progress into the same old, same old. Mangini blamed the latest setback on four turnovers, but a couple of coaching decisions contributed and might've had Holmgren flipping through the list of contacts in his cell phone.
In a span of less than three minutes of game time, not including halftime, the Browns went from threatening to take the lead to down 10 and desperate.
The Browns reached the Baltimore 24-yard line on the play following the two-minute warning with a 28-yard completion to running back Mike Bell, who split time with an injured Peyton Hillis (knee, ribs). After a 1-yard Bell run, Mangini elected to not take a timeout and the next snap didn't happen for 45 seconds.
The Browns picked up a first down at the 13-yard line with 17 seconds left and only had time for two passes into the end zone before a 30-yard Phil Dawson field goal with six seconds left.
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy missed Brian Robiskie in the corner of the end zone on second down. Mangini took two unused and worthless timeouts into the locker room.
"Get the points that are available from our perspective and not give their offense, which is a really good offense, a chance to go down and score," Mangini said.
"We settled for three, but our goal was clearly to get six," tight end Benjamin Watson said.
The Ravens lead had been cut to 13-10, but a chance for a touchdown had slipped away. Mangini tried to get it back with an onside kick to open the third quarter.
It didn't happen.
Dawson's kick toward the left sideline was too slow and horizontal and didn't travel the requisite 10 yards. Rookie cornerback Joe Haden could only watch as the ball bounced harmlessly out of bounds. Mangini's thinking was correct — Cary Williams was the Raven closest to the sideline and had turned to run downfield — but the execution was flawed.
"It was a great call. When you're playing to win, that's the kind of call you make," said Dawson, who's 0-for-2 on onside kicks. "The ball just didn't bounce the way I wanted it to, that's bad execution on my part."
The Ravens took over on the 38-yard line and scored three plays later on a 22-yard Joe Flacco (12-for-19 for 102 yards, two touchdowns, an interception, 90.2 rating) pass to Derrick Mason despite repeated pass interference on cornerback Sheldon Brown. The outcome was never in doubt again.
Baltimore's two touchdowns came courtesy of great field position handed to it by the Browns. Flacco's 15-yard pass to T.J. Houshmandzadeh behind Brown and safety Abram Elam came three plays after Cleveland receiver Mohamed Massaquoi was stripped as he tried to fight for extra yardage. The Ravens got the ball at the Cleveland 20-yard line.
"Field position was a big deal," Bowens said. "I think our defense did a pretty decent job considering. But overall we have to try to get the ball back in those situations and give our offense another chance at scoring."
McCoy was able to move the offense — 7-for-11 on third down — but threw three interceptions, all intended for Massaquoi, who accounted for Cleveland's only touchdown on a 29-yard pass to Robiskie on a trick play. McCoy went 15-for-29 for 149 yards, three interceptions and a 27.0 rating.
He and the coaches talked all week about being wary of Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed, but he got two interceptions and sent Hillis to the sideline with a helmet to his back on the game's second snap.
McCoy said he didn't see Reed on the first pick, and simply overthrew Massaquoi near the end zone with 4:51 left as the Browns tried to rally. The other interception was a deep sideline route thrown inside of Massaquoi against good coverage on the opening possession.
"Turnovers killed us today and most of it is on me," McCoy said. "I've got to fix that, I've got to take care of the ball, and I've got to know where Ed Reed is. He read my eyes the whole game and made plays."
Elyria native and Ravens safety Haruki Nakamura was a blitzer on two of the picks, hitting McCoy after he released on Reed's first interception. The Ravens have won six straight in the series, and Flacco is 6-0 against the Browns.
Cleveland's offense was done in by the turnovers, a controversial pass interference call on Robiskie that negated a long reception and the lack of a full-time Hillis. He carried 12 times for 35 yards, and Bell added seven rushes for 27 yards.
"The other team makes adjustments, we just have to make better adjustments," receiver Joshua Cribbs said. "If I knew the reason, I'd have a headset on."
The Browns were unable to make Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis eat his words after he predicted they'd keep Hillis from duplicating his big day in September. Left guard Eric Steinbach imitated Lewis' famous pregame dance during introductions.
"He can say whatever he wants," Thomas said of Lewis. "I think guys definitely made note of it. I don't think he made much noise out there today.
"You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out it's a lack of respect."
Mangini fell to 10-21 in his two years, 2-9 in the division. He trudged off the field without an escort from security.
It looked like a metaphor for his job security.

Command & Conquer
Review by J.T.
"Good, but not even close to the PC version"
C&C (not the music factory) is a great real time strategy game, but unfortunately the PSX version doesn't really do it justice. Do yourself a favor and get this game (or its sequels) for the PC.
Fun Factor: 9
Almost as fun as the original PC version, although it is hampered by the obvious faults that the port to the PSX gave it. Still, taking over enemy bunkers with your engineers is just as fun on either platform. Lack of serious multiplayer also hampers the overall fun of the game.
Difficulty: 6
Easy to learn, easy to master. Once you know what units work against what, you're pretty much set for the rest of the game. Don't let that fool you though, the AI can be pretty tough at times (mostly during the later levels).
Control: 1
Compared to the control found in the PC version, the PSX controller just cannot do this game justice. I would like to think that real life troops are just a bit more responsive than the digital ones found in this version of the game.
Story: 9
Pretty good story, no major changes from the PC version. Basic "mad army of psychotic terrorists try to take over Europe and the world" story. I really liked the guy who plays Kain especially... He just exudes evil.
Music: 5
Nothing much here. Probably will be muted after about ten minutes or so, due to the repetitive nature of the soundtrack. The original PC version had much more varied (and higher quality) tracks, IMHO.
Sound FX: 7
The sound of rockets tearing into enemy lines just isn't as satisfying on the PSX...
Replayability: 5
This one really depends on how well you remember individual maps. There are some places where you can take alternate routes (different combat maps) but even then the missions are basically the same.
Rent or Buy: Possible buy, but most likely a rental. I would recommend buying the PC version, though. (can you say expansion pack?) :-)
Reviewer's Rating: 3.0 - Fair

Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney have battled essentially to parity in basic popularity, far outpacing Newt Gingrich, who's faded to a new low in the 2012 election cycle. But Santorum's arc flattened this week, underscoring a potentially difficult battle ahead.
Within their party, 65 percent of Republicans express a favorable opinion of Romney overall, and about as many, 61 percent, hold a positive view of Santorum, levels that suggest many party regulars ultimately would accept either candidate as their nominee.
Gingrich, maybe not: He's dropped to 45 percent favorability within the GOP in this ABC News/Washington Post poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. That's down by 10 points in the past month and by 15 points from Gingrich's best, in November and December.
Still Santorum, after advancing earlier this month, saw his ratings flatten overall this week, with a 10-point increase in unfavorable views among Americans who describe themselves as "very" conservative. It's still among his best groups, though, and one in which he continues to lead Romney.
Santorum and Romney alike, moreover, remain well below the levels of popularity - both within their own party and among all Americans, including independents - that had been attained by this point in the 2008 campaign by eventual nominees John McCain and Barack Obama.
McCain and Obama both had broken through the 70-point favorability barrier in their own parties by January 2008, and were at or over 60 percent among political independents. Santorum, and Romney, by contrast, have just 33 percent favorable ratings from independents now.
Among all adults, while they're essentially tied in overall favorability, at 37 and 36 percent, respectively, Romney's unfavorable ratings exceed Santorum's by 10 points, 44 percent vs. 34 percent - meaning that, unlike McCain and Obama last time, neither is clearly above water. (More people have yet to form an opinion of Santorum - 30 percent, vs. 19 percent for Romney.)
The Republican contenders meet tonight for their 20 th debate, their first since Jan. 26, a face-off that preceded Santorum's surge and Gingrich's fade. It's their last debate before the Arizona and Michigan primaries next Tuesday.
TREND - The most striking recent trend, reported last week, was Santorum's rise in favorability among Republicans, from 48 percent in early January to 61 percent, marking his emergence as the latest non-Romney alternative after winning the Colorado and Minnesota GOP caucuses and the Missouri beauty contest primary.
This week, as noted, that surge stalled. Among very conservatives, Santorum had a 67-13 percent favorable-unfavorable rating last week; it's 61-23 percent now. Among conservative Republicans, last week Santorum had a 69-12 percent score; this week, 66-19 percent.
Santorum still does better than Romney's 52-38 percent among very conservatives. Among conservative Republicans, though, they're very similarly rated, with Romney at 69-23 percent.
A concern for Romney is his erratic trend line among independents. After essentially breaking even in popularity with these customary swing voters last week (37-40 percent), he's at a 14-point disadvantage this week (33-47 percent), halfway back to his January level. Santorum's got challenges in this key group too, with a 33-38 percent favorability rating.
Whatever their difficulties, both Santorum and Romney are in enviable positions compared with Gingrich. More than twice as many Americans now see him unfavorably as favorably, and a third have a "strongly" negative view of him, about four times his strongly positive score.
Gingrich only manages parity among Republicans (45-42 percent) and among very conservatives (43-48 percent), with a 15-point increase in unfavorable ratings in that group since late January. Among conservative Republicans he's got a 50-37 percent differential, but that's vastly lower than his 64-27 percent score in January, as well as far behind Santorum and Romney alike.
METHODOLOGY - This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cell phone Feb. 15-19, 2012, among a random national sample of 1,012 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points. The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS/Social Science Research Solutions of Media, Pa.

Contained Places
Clay County is a county of the U.S. state of Alabama. As of the 2010 census the population was 13,932. Its county seat is Ashland. Its name is in honor of Henry Clay, famous American statesman, member of the United States Senate from Kentucky and United States Secretary of State in the 19th century. It is a prohibition or dry county.
Clay County was established on December 7, 1866 from land taken from Randolph and Talladega County. Named after the famous statesman Henry Clay, the county seat itself was named after his estate in Lexington, Kentucky called "Ashland". The county was covered with a heavy growth of trees, and a part of the territory was occupied by the Creek Indians. The early pioneers acquired the lands by government entry, and the Indian lands by public auction. The families came wholly from Fayette County, Georgia. Clay County was formed for geographic reasons. The citizens of the area had a difficult time reaching the county seat of Wedowee in Randolph County because of the Tallapoosa River to the east. Talladega was difficult to reach because of the intervening mountains. Even today, Clay County is one of only three counties in Alabama to have no U.S. Highways in its boundaries. Ashland was a mining center, particularly for graphite.
During the Desert Shield/Storm conflict, Clay County had more soldiers serving per capita than any other county in the United States.

The confirmation hearings of Dr. James Holsinger to be U.S. Surgeon General the top doctor on U.S. health policy were already going to be tense, given his past controversial writings about homosexuality. But coming only two days after former Surgeon General Dr. Richard Carmona told a House panel how the Bush Administration meddled in his affairs and forced him to avoid such sensitive topics as stem cells and sex education, Holsinger's appearance was even more of a target for critics who believe the administration is allowing politics to intrude on science and medicine.
That much was clear from the noisy start of the hearings Thursday. Protesting President George W. Bush's nominee, ten members of Planned Parenthood chanted "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho!/Ideology's got to go!" as hearing attendees filed into the building. Holsinger was appearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. While the committee took no action on his nomination, a vote is expected before Congress recesses for the summer in August.
Holsinger is one in a series of controversial scientists appointed by the Bush administration. Critics have accused Bush of pandering to the right in his choices of doctors that prescribe prayer for female maladies like premenstrual syndrome, scientists that don't believe in global warming and, as in Holsinger's case, physicians who once wrote that homosexuality is unnatural and could lead to illnesses.
The clamorous entrance was by no means the hardest part of Holsinger's day. Within the first half-hour, Committee Chairman Ted Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, brought a red flush to Holsinger's cheeks when he questioned him about a paper Holsinger wrote at the request of the United Methodist Church in 1991, called "Pathophysiology of Male Homosexuality." It asserted male homosexual practices are unnatural and concluded that "when the complementarity of the sexes is breached, injuries and diseases may occur." Holsinger responded, saying his research was based on outdated information and that he no longer holds that opinion.
Over 70 activist groups sent a letter to Kennedy and the Committee's ranking member, Michael Enzi, saying that they had to "oppose the nomination" because great Surgeon Generals have made decisions "in the face of strong political opposition but faithfully adhered to science". Holsigner's "long documented history of prejudice towards lesbians and gay men [would] further marginalize and stigmatize LGBT people."
Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski then attacked Holsinger for his work for the Veterans Administration, accusing him of doing little to end systemic sexual harassment in VA hospitals and "indifference" to the health of women veterans. "Have you changed?" Mikulski challenged.
Holsinger said her examples were one-sided and not the full story. Instead of attempting to answer each allegation, he simply responded: "I think you really want to know who I am. "I want to know who you are now," Mikulski snapped back. Holsinger then thanked her and said he looked forward to working with her on Maryland's healthcare.
Senator Patty Murray, Washington Democrat, asked whether Holsinger would advocate abstinence-only sex education. Holsinger said he has not studied the issue and felt uncomfortable answering. He said the same thing when asked about embryonic stem cell research.
Such evasive answers are certain to stoke the concerns of Democrats still reeling from Carmona's testimony earlier this week. Carmona, who served between 2002 and 2006, said the administration forced him to suppress important public health reports, insisted he cite Bush by name at least three times a page in every speech and forbade him to speak or issue reports on stem cells, sex education, and other areas of medicine that proved politically inexpedient to the Bush Administration.
Citing that hearing, Senator Bernie Saunders of Vermont repeatedly demanded assurances from Holsinger that, if confirmed, he would not tolerate the misuse of science for politics. Holsinger responded that he would resign if he felt the administration was inappropriately interfering with his job.
To that end, Kennedy Thursday also introduced legislation to prevent future meddling with the Office of the Surgeon General by making the selection of nominee a much more public process and giving the office financial independence.
"The Office of the Surgeon General has become a morass of shameful political manipulation and distortion of science," Kennedy said. "The Surgeon General must be a person who can be an indisputable respected and trusted voice about the health, wellness and safety."
The Republican members of the committee gave Holsinger the opportunity to highlight his achievements - serving 26 years at the Department of Veteran Affairs, nearly a decade as Chancellor of the University of Kentucky's Medical Center, and his appointment as Kentucky's Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Holsinger said his focus, were he to become Surgeon General, would be to prevent childhood obesity, and even Democrats opposing his nomination praised his resume.
Holsinger's confirmation is by no means assured, though. Gay rights groups and women's health activists pledged to lobby against him in the coming weeks before his confirmation vote.

Falcao could still make World Cup
Radamel Falcao's recovery from a serious knee injury is on track, according to an update from his club Monaco.
The Colombia striker suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in his side's Coupe de France clash with minnows Monts d'Or Azergues last month and it was feared he would miss the rest of the season and the summer's World Cup.
But Dr Jose Carlos Noronha, who operated on him in Portugal, offered an encouraging prognosis in late January when he said of Falcao's World Cup hopes: "The light at the end of the tunnel isn't small."
And a statement on Monaco's website on Wednesday read: "Radamel Falcao has successfully completed the first phase of his recovery further to the operation on his left knee.
"AS Monaco FC and the player would like to thank all the people who took care of Falcao in Porto, in particular the medical department of Doctor Jose Carlos Noronha and the FC Porto club.
"Radamel Falcao is going to pursue from this Thursday the second phase of his recovery in the sport clinic in Madrid, in close collaboration with the medical department of AS Monaco FC."
Falcao was signed from Atletico Madrid last summer for a reported 60million euros (around £50m), having previously played for Porto.
He has scored over 30 goals in each of the last four seasons and, with 11 from 19 games, was on course for a similar total this term until his injury.

Everybody loves Friday partly because it's pay day.
But this Friday will be extra special for Kobe Bryant, as the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly set to pay him a lump sum of over $24 million. Yes, twenty-four million.
From the LA Times:
Negotiated as part of his specific contract, Bryant receives a balloon payment on Nov. 1. On Friday, the All-Star guard will receive $24,363,044 from the Lakers.
Bryant's salary for the entire season is $30,453,805 -- the remaining $6.1 million will be paid out over the course of the year.
It's good to be the Black Mamba, folks.

2009 Nissan Rogue - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Vehicle2009 Nissan Rogue SL 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewMy purchase was in the spring so in trusting my dealership to be honest with me as a loyal customer they badly misrepresented the performance of the AWD feature on the Rogue, I feel it is a high priced enhanced traction control and as far as AWD in the snow its awful! thanks Ken Ganley Nissan. the AWD engages maybe for a split second if that and you still slide all over the road, live and learn that sales people only care about the almighty $$ not you as a loyal customer. If you want good, safe performance in the snow get a AWD vehicle that engages and stays engaged in AWD/ 4x4.It was new to me so an expensive lesson!
Best Featuresmy main purchase feature was the AWD that failed! good on gas nice looking,no mechanical problems over 20,000 miles on vehicle,would recommend the Front wheel drive to save money
Worst Featuresrepresent it better to consumers AWD on the Rogue is nothing more than a costly enhanced traction control.. build it more solid ,have a rattle under it when I hit bumps
Are you the author of this review?Update Your Review
on 08/06/12 10:38 AM (PDT)
Just some advice...Learn how to use the AWD? Maybe read your manual that came with the car? As a long time Nissan AWD driver and top end Nissan owner (Infiniti) The AWD system is one of the best in the world..For those who want a 4X4 which sounds like you do instead of a intelligent AWD system.Maybe get a jeep? First you need to understand it is 100% AWD meaning the car has independent wheel turn of other wheels for those with a lesser thought process..This means all your wheels turn @ a different rate instead all 4 at the same time. The Nissan/Infiniti AWD will turn when there is traction. The rogue comes with a AWD lock that "LOCKS" the AWD to 50%Front and 50% rear up top 26MPH...Reason for this to allow you to move out of stuck areas when you need that 50/50..I live in New England and the snow is the worse here then any other part of the country (besides Alaska) and We have never had a problem...As for your 4X4 comment the Rogue isn't a 4X4 but AWD...Stop being a sheep and do some research and before you post fallacies take a moment and realize your wrong.Report it

US aerospace giant Boeing on Friday rolled out the first 787 Dreamliner built at its new plant in South Carolina and destined for Air India.
The rollout marked the first time the Chicago-based Boeing has produced a twin-aisle commercial airplane outside of Puget Sound, near Seattle in Washington state.
Boeing broke ground on the massive campus in North Charleston more than two years ago in a bid to ramp up production of its 787. Production began last June.
Boeing delivered the first 787, built at its Seattle area facilities, to launch customer All Nippon Airways last September, three years behind schedule.
The South Carolina-built 787 remains on schedule for delivery to Air India in mid-2012, Boeing said.
The new aircraft is largely built with lightweight composite materials. Boeing says the Dreamliner is about 20 percent more fuel efficient than similarly sized aircraft and is the first mid-size airplane capable of flying long-range routes.
On Friday, the freshly minted 787 emerged from Boeing's final assembly plant in clouds billowing from a smoke machine and fireworks overhead, to a crowd of several thousand Boeing employees and guests.
"This is a proud moment for Boeing as we roll out an airplane from our third final assembly site," said Jim Albaugh, president and chief executive of Commercial Airplanes.
"Today I welcome the South Carolina team into a small and elite fraternity -- a fraternity of workers who have built one of the most complex machines in the world -- a commercial airplane."
Boeing has booked orders for more than 800 787s from 60 customers, in what it touts as its most successful launch of a twin-aisle commercial airplane in the company's history.
The list price for the biggest of the two 787 versions is $227.8 million.

There are three principal types of screen doors for patio doors, hinged doors and entry doors: gliding, hinged and retractable insect screens. They all have a primary purpose of keeping insects out of your house, but they are different in many ways.
Hinged insect screens are screens that attach to the frame of your door by three-part hinges (an upper leaf, lower leaf and pin). They can be used on gliding patio doors or hinged doors that swing into the home. These screens shut slowly thanks to a dampener at the top (and sometimes bottom) of the screen.
Gliding insect screens are most commonly seen on gliding patio doors. Gliding screen doors have a top and bottom track with rollers on the bottom, or a tensile spring set at top. The bottom rollers of these screens can be adjustable.
Retractable screens are the newest screen door to hit the market. They roll up into a canister on one side of the door. When extended, they attach to a hook or high-powered magnet to keep the screen door sealed. The coil in which the screening material is stored is typically regulated by a tension setting in the canister.
Though screens are primarily meant to let air in and keep insects out, they tend to be much more than that. In some cases they can add security to a home by adding another lock to get through, though they don't tend to come equipped with hardware as sturdy as you would find on a front door or primary entrance door. If your screen door doubles as a storm door, it will assist in energy efficiency in the home.
Does your hinged door swing into or out of the home? Do you have double opening doors or a single door? Is your patio door gliding or hinged? Some screens will not work with some types of doors.
On an out-swinging door, you do not want a gliding screen that will need to be opened before your door is opened, typically forcing someone to have to go outside through another entrance in order to open the screen.
If your door is at a corner of your house and you have a gliding door, the operating screen panel will need somewhere to go, and some way in which to be stopped. If you have a gliding patio door, a gliding screen door is a nice complement, though retractable screens are becoming more popular.
Retractable insect screens are either mounted on the inside of the home in the case of a out-swinging door, or on the outside of the door for a gliding or in-swinging door. If you have double hinged doors, you can also use a retractable insect screen with exceptionally long mesh.
Insect screens let you keep your door open in the heat instead of using air conditioning or climate control in your home. They will also keep the insects out. If you are going outside for a short while and you have pets that should stay in the home, it is a simple process to relatch the insect screen when you step out. Small children may not know how to unlatch an insect screen door, making it an extra barrier for toddlers to get through.
Screen doors are not foolproof. No matter how fine your mesh is, there are cluster flies that can get through it. Your screen is only as effective as the seal. If your screen door just hangs in front of your patio door, the insects need only fly around the side. Find an insect screen that forms a tight seal with either the door or some sort of interlocking molding to truly protect your home from flying insects.

With capitalism in crisis the BBC gives a hand up to the BNP
THE News Line is opposed to the BNP or any fascist party being given time to spread its propaganda in any of the media outlets in the UK or in any other outlet.
The fact that the state broadcasting medium is giving this fascist organisation encouragement and recognition says it all about the weakness of the ruling class, and its big fears about the huge crisis of its capitalist system, especially when it will have to slash the living standards of all of its citizens with the most savage cuts ever to survive.
The ruling class is facing not just a war with the Afghan and Pakistani people, but a war with its own people, Margaret Thatchers celebrated enemy within, whose members will fight like tigers to defend their jobs, wages, basic rights and the future of their children.
The Labour Party cannot save the bosses and the bankers. It is completely discredited after betraying the working people over the last 12 years of three Labour governments.
The Tory Party has still not recovered from the Poll Tax defeat or the ERM collapse, and its leaders are both untried and distrusted.
Its military is already in a state of demoralisation over the pasting that it has been taking in Afghanistan, after being run out of Basra, and is in a state of near mutiny, with political generals emerging to challenge the politicians.
It is in this situation that the state has decided to give support to the BNP, to try to split and divide the working class, and win over the lower levels of the middle class who are being ruined and greatly disturbed by the crisis.
There is no doubt that there is going to be a need for a mass of strikebreakers and anti-working class thugs in the period ahead, to act in support of the state as it seeks to impose its savage cuts, and that the BNP is being given the chance to win the franchise, despite its very small membership.
Having a large number of anti-union laws of all kinds chaining up trade unions, and preventing trade unionists from using their power, is not good enough for the ruling class in this situation of crisis. This is why the political heirs of Adolf Hitler are being encouraged to engage in debate, with BBC liberals saying that they have their democratic rights.
This is after the rise of fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain, also in conditions of a major crisis of the capitalist system, resulted in trade unions and democratic bourgeois and socialist parties being declared illegal, with their leaders being lodged in the first concentration camps or murdered, all the better for the ruling classes to prepare the Second World War with its tens of millions of dead.
The News Line is opposed to free speech or free anything else for fascists.
We condemn the BBC for allowing them a national podium to speak from, in an attempt to legitimise them.
We also call for action to stop any rise of fascists and fascism by striking at the beast that gives birth to it monopoly capitalism in its death agony.
We call on workers and youth to unite in opposing the racists, and also in supporting workers in struggle against the Brown government.
We urge all trade unions to take action in support of the CWU which is under attack from the Royal Mail and the Labour government.
A general strike must be organised in support of the CWU, and the Brown government must be brought down and replaced by a workers government that will expropriate the bosses and the bankers and bring in socialism.
This is the way to deal with not just the bosses and the bankers, but also with the fascists and racists who are making their attempt to take advantage of the situation.
Putting capitalism to the sword will end racism and fascism in the UK. This is the way forward.

Mornings just got a little more social on ABC, as "Good Morning America" introduced its #socialsquare, a digital expansion of its Times Square studio, describing it as "the new social nerve center" for the broadcast.
ABC said the "GMA" #socialsquare will incorporate elements from social networks, including:
- Google Plus Hangouts with viewers, including the display of some of their messages on the ABC Jumbotron in Times Square.
- A Twitter mirror, where celebrity guests can photobomb and mug for the camera.
- An Instagram video chat wall.
- A dynamic interactive photo wall displaying photos, videos, and poll results from viewers.
- The "social slot machine," which reveals viewers' answers to questions from Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.
- Streaming music from Spotify.
"GMA" Senior Executive Producer Tom Cibrowski said in a release announcing #socialsquare:
This will revolutionize how our show is produced in the morning, and it's all about engaging directly with our viewers from beginning to end.
Readers: What do you think of the #socialsquare from "GMA?"

Nonprofits Can't Always Borrow From Business
The seemingly sudden decision of Unitus to exit the microfinance field has raised many interesting questions about the rise of social entrepreneurship.
Unitus—a Seattle organization founded by venture capitalists and tech entrepreneurs to use innovative, private-sector strategies to fight global poverty—this summer dismissed its entire staff and saw three board members resign as it declared victory and exited microfinance.
Donors, meanwhile, were left wondering what the heck had just happened.
The ability to quickly change, to abandon a strategy that no longer holds true, and to turn and head off in some radical new direction are seen by entrepreneurs as normal and a regular part of a successful business. But in the nonprofit world, Unitus's decision was greeted with confusion and consternation. To understand why, we must understand how the nonprofit world perceives the concept of risk.
When a for-profit business goes bankrupt, it is the investors and equity shareholders who bear the brunt of the loss. Employees suffer from lost jobs and wages but are ultimately able to seek employment elsewhere. Customers, while inconvenienced, are not penalized—if Starbucks goes out of business, customers can just go down the street to any of a myriad other coffee shops to get their latte fix.
But in the world of nonprofit groups and foundations, the consequences of failure (or, in the case of Unitus, declared victory) are not borne by the donors or even by the organization itself. When a nonprofit closes its doors, the donors and grant makers who supported it, while possibly inconvenienced, continue onward. Employees, like those of the for-profit business, lose their jobs but, again, can seek employment elsewhere. But the customers—in this case, the nonprofit's clients—bear the consequences.
In many parts of the United States, especially in rural areas, there is often only a single provider for a number of critical safety-net services. So when a nonprofit shuts its doors, children go hungry, victims of domestic violence have no place to go, and the sick are denied access to medical services.
That is not to say that groups like Unitus can never change. But there needs to be a deep appreciation for and commitment to making sure that crucial services are still being provided.
The danger in rushing to adapt private-sector and entrepreneurial strategies to address social concerns is that we fail to understand that the consequences of failure are much different than they are in the business world. We are not simply dealing with the loss of an investment but possibly the loss of lives.
Nonprofit and foundation leaders must bear a special responsibility that goes beyond simply being business-minded, because it is the people who are most vulnerable who suffer the consequences of bad decisions and sudden changes of direction.
As Geoff "Chester" Woolley, a former Unitus board member, explained, "Unitus wanted to demonstrate that microfinance was scalable and could be commercialized."
"Over the last two years or more, it started to become evident to the board that Unitus's original goals were being achieved," he said.
Whether or not Unitus was actually responsible for the rapid growth of microfinance was not addressed, but the implication was that Unitus is taking credit for it, declaring victory and moving on. This highlights another critical distinction between for-profit enterprise and the social sector. Often, for issues like global poverty, there is no exit strategy.
Mr. Woolley's idea that investors can "catalyze and … then get out of the way" is simply not a reality unless we make some fundamental changes to how nonprofits are capitalized and how capital flows in the social sector.

Jade Buffaloe, 5-year-old girl, dies following Capitol Heights fire
A fire in Capitol Heights that left a 5-year-old girl dead has now claimed a second victim.
Authorities say the 15-year-old boy injured in the fire has passed away.
The deceased 5-year-old was identified as Jade Buffaloe. The 15-year-old killed was identified as Rickey Cole.
The fire was ruled accidental.
Officials say the blaze, which broke out in the first living room of the home, located{ }in the 6000 block of Carrington Court on Wednesday, was caused by an overloaded electrical circuit.
A fire official stated that a window air conditioner was being powered through a residential-style extension cord and a power strip. These units should be plugged directly into the wall.
When crews arrived on the scene, they found the girl's 24-year-old father in the front yard with serious burns to his upper body. He told firefighters exactly where his daughter and 15-year-old brother were trapped in the home.
Both juveniles were rescued using the home's rear window. When they were given to paramedics, neither was breathing or had a pulse. They were taken to the hospital with CPR in progress.
Jade died around 8 p.m. Wednesday. Rickey died at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Janette Gibson, 74, was the first neighbor who saw danger at the house on Carrington Court Wednesday.
"Fire was blazing out of that house and I just started screaming," Gibson says.
Fire officials say the 24-year-old man suffered third degree burns to about 50 percent of his body.
The fire department says the man's mother was also on the scene and became so distraught she needed medical attention. She was taken to Prince George's Hospital.
Officials say the home was equipped with two working smoke alarms.
Thursday morning, firefighters are going door-to-door to see if residents have working smoke detectors inside their homes in hopes of preventing a similar tragedy.
Officials say the family living in the attached home has been displaced.
The total loss is estimated at $150,000.

user login, logout
I am looking for some help to have users login and logout to a spacific page of my WP site. I wanted a secured section of my site for clients to login to so they can have access to a secured fill form and send me case information. but everything I see on here is for login in to wordpress, not a spacific page.
I see how to have multi-users on the protected page, but that doesn't look professional, and I wanted to assign their login name, and password so they can access that page.
Is there a way to have a username, and password and to have it look like a NORMAL user login and passwrod?
Please HELP!
[ Please do not bump, that's not permitted here. ]

No such thing as dirty dancing for van Dyk: As this sleek career overview (accompanied by a DVD documentary) spells out, few DJs of the last decade have made club beats shimmer and glisten the way he has. Van Dyk is notorious for disliking the term "trance," yet there's no denying that these beautiful pulses are, all told, a trance manifesto. Although a few of the tracks are nondescript, the siren-voiced "We Are Alive" — new-generation disco, down to its intimation of a one-night stand — compensates for all of them.

Dealing with the Guilt of Overeating
So, things didn't go exactly as you'd hoped at Thanksgiving? Maybe had a bit too much stuffing or an extra piece (or three) of pumpkin pie?
For many of us, the immediate pleasure we derive from food becomes guilt in the aftermath. We may wake up wondering, Why did I let this happen? Again?
Initially, this guilt may appear useful, as it motivates us (and the other 72 people vying for that elliptical) to get to the gym or to eat less. But guilt is rarely helpful as a long-term strategy for behavior change, and it can actually perpetuate the problem from which it originated.
We see this in the pattern of compulsive overeating: people overeat, feel guilty about doing so, and then eat again in an effort to assuage the guilt. Eating is used as a way to cope with painful situations or feelings, but, as almost anyone can tell you, it doesn't work. And this vicious cycle can lead to profound depression and isolation.
Guilt is also associated with yo-yo dieting and bulimia. Both of these patterns involve vacillation between deprivation and overindulgence. People eat more than they feel they should, and then feel terribly guilty. Subsequently, they vow never to overeat again and enter into deprivation—through dieting, purging, or excessive and punitive exercise—as a way to lose the weight and vanquish the guilt.
For a short time, there is a sense of pride at being able to maintain this level of discipline and control. But most people can only stand the deprivation for so long before overindulgence comes knocking: I deserve this pint of ice cream, I've been so good all week! For those stuck in this pattern, one pint turns into a night-long (or week-long) binge. And then you-know-who shows up—our old foe, Mr. Guilt.
The lesson here? Beating yourself up doesn't usually lead to long-term changes in lifestyle. And making a global attribution about yourself based upon a single instance of behavior (e.g., seeing yourself as glutinous or bad because you overate), can make you feel worse and sabotage plans for self-care.
As an alternate strategy, you might try engaging in positive self-talk about your body. Cut yourself some slack and remember that taking care of yourself—emotionally and physically—involves respect for who you are and how you look. You might even dare to give thanks for your body in all its wonder, since it's that time of year and all.

Forza Motorsport 4 Limited Collector's Edition Gets Extra Cars, Clarkson Commentary

That's not all, as there will also be a 10 car add-on pack that features some of the best American muscle cars the game has to offer. The not-so-exclusive content will be custom-designed BMW cars that were part of the Forza Motorsport 4 BMW Design Challenge. Though it will come with the collector's edition, users will be able to purchase the content from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Forza Motorsport 4 is shaping up to become one of the greatest, if not the greatest, driving simulator game ever. Whether or not you believe Gran Turismo still holds that title is up to you, but we're hoping that Forza lives up to the hype, unlike its Sony-exclusive competitor.

The Viola boss believes the Serbian has not been afforded enough playing time this season and says he would be happy to take him back to the Artemio Franchi on loan
The 22-year-old joined the capital club last August but has struggled to cement his place in Rudi Garcia's starting line-up during an inconsistent campaign.
While Montella has hinted la Viola could no longer afford the Serbian's wages without help from Roma, he says he would not hesitate to accept a loan deal to bring the attacking midfielder back to the Artemio Franchi.
"I don't think he's had enough continuity in the capital," he told a press conference. "If we get him on loan and maybe split the salary, then we'd welcome him with open arms."
Montella has yet to beat Roma as Fiorentina coach ahead of Saturday's encounter at Stadio Olimpico, and the 39-year-old - who spent 10 years with the Giallorossi as a player - jokingly suggested he lacks the heart to defeat his old club.
"I don't know why I have never been able to beat Roma as [Fiorentina] coach,"said the former striker. "Maybe it's because I love them so much!
"But joking aside, I think they've only deserved to beat us on one occasion. In other matches, we've always left the pitch thinking we should have got more.
"I think maybe the difference between us and Roma in the league is down to our European campaign and the absences we've suffered. Maybe their squad is slightly better than ours, but in terms of 11 versus 11, I don't see much difference."
