George: All's quiet on Dez Bryant front ... and that's good news for Cowboys fans
Cowboys beat writer Brandon George answered questions in a chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
Comment From Guest ... Games are won in the trenches! Are our trenches too shallow MR. George?
Brandon George (Twitter: @dmn_george): The Cowboys believe they have upgraded their offensive line and will be better prepared to stop teams from blitzing up the middle and disrupting Tony Romo. The interior of the offensive line was a major problem last year, and the Cowboys signed two free agent guards in the off-season and like their young players. They've moved Tyron Smith to LT and Doug Free over to RT, so they think that will help as well. As far as the defensive line goes, the Cowboys haven't made several upgrades. They like the potential of DE and third-round pick Tyrone Crawford but it's just potential at this point.
Comment From Steve ... Will this be the year Dez pulls up his pants and acts like an adult? Why do we as an organization coddle these players instead of holding their feet to the hot coals of the fire after paying the millions to these overrated players?
Brandon George (Twitter: @dmn_george): Steve, Dez Bryant has had a quiet off-season for the most part and that's good news for the Cowboys and their fans. All indications are he's working hard and trying to improve. He hasn't come close to reaching his potential and it's hard to say he ever will until his focus and work ethic match his potential.
Comment From George I ... I think our D-Line has to be more active/aggressive. What do u foresee for the Josh Brents, Gathers of the world, could they give us something we aren't planning on? Is it pretty much a given Arkin is a longshot to make team unless he is tried at center?
Brandon George (Twitter: @dmn_george): I wouldn't say Arkin is a longshot to make the team. The Cowboys like his talent level and feel like he can develop into a regular contributor. However, he pretty much red-shirted (if you will) last season. He needs to show the Cowboys something this year. NT Josh Brent had a good season last year and has imrpoved. He's put himself in position for more playing time. Geathers is still a project.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – JSE-listed diversified mining company Village Main Reef has, following approval by shareholders of ASX-listed Continental Coal, purchased 100-million shares in the South African thermal coal production, development and exploration company for A$0.08 a share.
Shareholder approval was received at a Continental Coal general meeting on Thursday.
Continental would now proceed to complete the allotment and issue of the shares, upon receiving approval from the South African Reserve Bank, which is anticipated in April.
The placement to Village – at a premium to Continental's last traded share price on the ASX and a 30% premium based on the company's 90-day share price, was part of a broader strategic financing transaction between the two miners.
In addition to the A$8-million private placement transaction, the transformative deal would also give Village the option to acquire further Continental shares on the market at a price of up to A$0.10 a share, increasing its shareholding to 19.9%.
This would be achieved through the acquisition of shareholdings from shareholders that owned shares with a market value of less than A$500.
The transaction reflected Village's continued diversification strategy, while maintaining its investment in cash-generating assets.
Village would also be invited to appoint a representative to the board of Continental Coal as part of the broader strategic relationship.
The funds raised from the private placement were to be used by the coal company to reduce debt, meet working capital requirements and strengthen its balance sheet.

For the second tournament in a row, the Borgia basketball Lady Knights claimed third-place honors.
Borgia (9-4) defeated St. Charles West Saturday, 48-36, to win the third-place game of the Union Tournament.
"That's what we were hoping for coming into the tournament," Borgia Head Coach Stacia Parsell said. "As a four seed, to win it out was going to be really tough. Coming home with third place is really great for us."
The win came the afternoon after Borgia fell in the semifinals to Sullivan, 49-41. It was the second time the teams had met in a semifinal game. Sullivan also beat Borgia in the Sullivan Tournament semifinals in December.
Borgia had two players selected to the all-tournament team with senior Katie Lindemann and junior Janie Arand being picked for the 10-player squad.
"Katie Lindemann is a senior we look to when we need a pickup," Parsell said. "She was 5-5 from the free-throw line. That's good. She had to defend a good post player and did a good job. Janie does what she's supposed to do and that's what we expect."
Borgia returns to action Thursday, hosting Kennedy. Junior varsity action begins at 5:15 p.m.
St. Charles West
Borgia jumped out to an early lead Saturday afternoon in the third-place game and validated it with a big third quarter, winning 48-36.
Borgia led 13-8 after one quarter and 20-15 at the half.
The Lady Knights ripped out a 19-8 third quarter to lead 39-23 heading into the fourth quarter.
Parsell rotated all of her players into the contest during the game, partially to give them the experience of playing in a trophy game and partially because of necessity.
"Everybody played today," Parsell said. "Molly Arand got a little nicked up today, so we were able to rest her with some other players coming in to fill that role."
Arand led the team with 16 points and added six rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Lindemann just missed a double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds. She added three steals and a blocked shot.
Junior Emily Grahl scored 10 points while adding six assists, three steals and one rebound.
"Emily Grahl had a good tournament, also," Parsell said. "She had six assists against Sullivan and today she had lots of steals and got up and do the floor. Nobody is fast enough to stop her."
Sophomore Cassandra Halsted scored six points with six rebounds.
Junior Baylee Godat scored one point while adding three rebounds and a steal.
Sophomore Molly Arand played only in the first half due to injury. She had two steals and one assist.
Others playing were junior Alexis Sine, senior Morgan Spradling (two rebounds and a steal), and senior Madison Wehking.
Sophomore Jessie Schmidt led St. Charles West with 11 points.
Sophomore Kacy Eschweiler scored nine points.
Junior Jensen Houdyshell scored six points while junior Bri Barry scored four points.
Two-point scorers were junior Amy Brown, sophomore Megan Graves and sophomore Molly Leimkuehler.
Also playing were sophomore Ashley Haupert, junior Lizzie Matejka and sophomore Paige Prigge.
Facing the top-seeded Sullivan Lady Eagles for the second time this season in a tournament, Borgia again played a close game, but couldn't secure the victory, falling 49-41.
"If you look at the way we were going to have to get to the championship game, it was going to be really hard, getting through Union and Sullivan" Parsell said. "We played Sullivan close again. We just couldn't put together a complete game. It was too tough."
Borgia led after one quarter, 10-5, and at the half, 24-17.
"It was another good game between Borgia and Sullivan and we were fortunate that we were able to dig ourselves out of a hole and win that game," Sullivan Head Coach Jason Merkel said.
But Sullivan shut out Borgia in the third quarter, 13-0, to grab a 30-24 advantage going into the final quarter.
Junior Aley Lucas, the tournament MVP, led Sullivan with 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Sophomore Kaitlynn Hill and junior Taylor Lucas netted eight points apiece. Hill had seven rebounds and a blocked shot. Taylor Lucas added five rebounds and two assists.
Senior Jessica Heinle scored six points with three assists, two rebounds and a steal.
Junior Sierra Pryor scored five points with four assists, three rebounds and a steal.
Senior Demi Reed posted five points, six rebounds and a steal.
Junior Tessa Johanning added three points, two steals, one assist and one rebound.
Sophomore Megan Brandt recorded three rebounds and two assists.
Janie Arand led Borgia with 13 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Grahl netted nine points with eight assists, four steals and three rebounds.
Halsted and Lindemann scored eight points apiece. Halsted added five rebounds and a steal. Lindemann pulled down seven rebounds.
Godat scored three points.
Molly Arand had two rebounds, an assist and a steal.
Spradling recorded one rebound.
Wehking also played.

How to make a symbolic link
in Linux
#1 D. C. Sessions March 28, 2009
Or, in konqueror, you can drag the target (in the example given, /var/log) to the location where you want a link (~). Rename if you feel like it.
Dunno if Nautilus has that ability or not. konq is pretty much the übergeek's Leatherman of file managers. Did you know that you can enter a URL such as:
to browse your home porn collection remotely?
#2 NewEnglandBob March 28, 2009
This is so timely. I think I learned this 30 years ago.
#3 Greg Laden March 28, 2009
Bob: What about all the peopole who were born 29 years ago after the rest of the world learned about it?
Yes, Nautilus does this, I think.
#5 386sx March 29, 2009
You can make those in Windows too, you know. Yes, hard links too.
#6 Wayne Conrad March 29, 2009
Another cool thing about ln -s. If you want to drop a symlink in the current directory with the same name as what you are linking to, you can leave off the target and just name the source. So:
ln -s /foo/bar
will create a symlink "bar" in the current directory pointing to /foo/bar.
#7 Wayne Conrad March 29, 2009
I'm an idiot. Or, more precisely, a short-on-sleep insomniac. I should have said, you can leave off the destination and name only the target.

The Northern Neck of Virginia is the strip of land between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. It contains the counties of Northumberland, Lancaster, Richmond and Westmoreland Counties. Some definitions also include King George and Stafford Counties. The Northern Neck of Virginia is not to be confused with the old Northern Neck Proprietary owned by the Fairfax family until after the American Revolution, which encompassed a much larger area.
If you will take out a map of Virginia, and follow the Rappahannock River to the Rapidan, and then draw a line more or less Northwest back up to the Potomac River in West Virginia, you will end up with the Northern Neck PROPRIETARY. In modern parlance, the "Northern Neck" is Northumberland, Lancaster, Richmond and Westmoreland counties. By anyone's definition, whether 200 years ago or today, it by no means encompasses anything south (or west) of the Rappahannock River.

Rather basic.
A sketch, at best, this piece shows some decent work on the outline, yet falls down, when there is little to do with the background and only a half-hearted attempt to properly shade the areas in the foreground. I would suggest that you take your time and work more on polishing the finished product, rather than rushing to complete what could be a decent piece in the end.
Basic mistakes abound here - the fishnets need a lot more attention to detail, as opposed to making a regular pattern. Where she bends her knees, the material of the stockings pinches in, giving you something more like stretched diamonds or triangles, as opposed to squares.
The shading and colouring is too haphazard for me, giving the impression that you were against the clock. Art should never be like that and you must spend more time, getting the balance just right. With a different balance, this piece would stick out more, have a better projection against the white background and give you a much better presence.
Have you torn the paper? That's a massive no-no for me, especially if you can see stuff written behind it. "Found in a tattoo and it in my theme" is hardly a coherent sentence, but looking closer, it's as if the bottom right corner has been torn from the page, which is a shame. Keep the attention focused on the muse of the drawing, that helps a lot.

Today on The Five, Bob Beckel objected to Greg Gutfeld using the word 'revolutionaries' when describing Obama's economic plan. Greg Gutfeld is the only one in the media that has the guts to speak the truth and Beckel wants to censor that, because he is a Marxist.
I try to use the word revolutionary often, because of the media's censorship of the word. It is rarely mentioned…
Libertarians and Communists are united with the goal to start a revolution. This revolution won't have good results since the US Military leaders seem to be on the wrong side…Obama's. Just look at the blood that has spilled after the revolutions in Egypt.
Libertarians and Communists are also:
- Against Gitmo
- Against the NSA anti-terror program
- Hated George Bush
- Both anti-war
Libertarians only shout about reckless spending, because they are trying to incite Conservatives into violence. It is a trap, but not many people have figured this little detail out yet. Most of the propaganda that Libertarians shout about the economy is anti-BANKER. This propaganda is the same that the Communist shout.
So, the anti-banker and anti-war propaganda that Libertarians and Communists use is the same. They are BOTH very clever deceivers that really hate true conservatives and they smear them by calling them NEO-CONS.

Just then, khushi comes and is aghast as she hears everything. she cries and reprimands him for lying about his promise to her, that he shall get her parents married. she eyes the torn pieces of the card and picks them up, emotionally distraught. she asks how could he tear them. tai wonders whats this new drama, and starts getting tensed. he is tensed and comes to her, while she cries incoherently. he bends on his knees, and apologises trying to make her understand, but she shoves his hand away. she says that he isnt a nice uncle, and she shall never talk to him, and that she hates him. survi is distressed. others watch tensedly too. kartik is distraught. khushi rushes out and collides into lata, who is surprised. kartik and survi rush out to take care of her. lata is shocked to see kartik fine. survi rushes to her daughter. he tries to talk, but survi lashes asking that its enough, and asks how many more people he intends to torture and pain, particularly when these people love him along with his imperfections and shortcomings. he tries again to talk to khushi, but survi takes her in her lap, and starts walking out. he goes after her, but khushi turns away. the entire family watches tensedly. he is apalled as she leaves with khushi.
Scene 2:
Location: Kartik's residence
Lata reprimands him in front of the entire family. she asks what has he become and how she cant even recognise him at all now, and asks why he did what he did. Lata says that she was always scared of this, as he always thinks about himself, and never bothers to wonder what would his family go through. tai says that she knows why kartik did this. lata asks her to stop, as she has always favoured him in all this, and asks how could she not to say anything, and be with him in the plan. he says that tai knows nothing about it. kishore asks the reason. all wait for an answer. he leaves from there, but lata stops him and asks him to respond first and then leave, and asks why is he doing this. tai is tensed. he doesnt listen at all, haunted by what khushi said and leaves hastily from there.
Scene 3:
Location: Survi's residence
Jatin comes to khushi as she returns sullen with survi, and asks if she finally met kartik. she doesnt say anything and rushes inside. he is boggled. survi narrates everything that happened. survi says that khushi saw farce and betrayal for the first time, and is affected. he says that its good that she got exposed, and she has to face it, today or tomorrow, and they cant protect her forever. he assures her that she shall be fine, as her mother, survi is there to guide her, and teach her the difference between right and wrong, and be there as her shield. survi is tensed.
In her room, khushi is haunted by what kartik did to her, in the garb of being a true friend. survi and jatin come to try and cheer her up, with her favourite dessert, but she isnt interested. they are tensed, as she asks them why do people lie. survi tells her that such people are scared of the truth, and cant accept it, and they feel, that falsifying the truth, might change it, but it doesnt happen like that, and actually such people are weak and fearful, unlike her daughter who is strong. he intentionally chides with her, saying that she isnt. but khushi wipes her tears and smiles, saying that kartik lied to her too, and is determined that se shall get them married, invite everyone, and do all the arrangements. survi and jatin are shocked to hear this, as she says that she wont lie ever.
Later, kartik arrives at her door, and survi is shocked to see him. he asks politely if he might come in. she asks what does he want now, and if there is any other heart left to be inflicted pain on, that he has come. he comes in still, as she stands tensedly. tears stream down his cheeks, as he says that he wishes for forgiveness. she is shocked, as she turnsd around and finds his emotional face. he says that today when khushi cried, he realised what a selfish person he is, and that he is captive by his own anger, and noone knows this about him, more than she herself. he asks her not to think that he has come to justify himself, as he has actually come to accept his crimes, as he has pained many people many times, and made one mistake after the other, thinking that one might stop the pain after the other, but in vain, and now the situation is such that even breathing becomes painful, and cant even have a second of peace. he says that he tried to falsify what the heart says, but couldnt, and hence he has come to apologise for what he did, and begs for forgiveness. she is shell shocked and stunned. he says that khushi's tears have turned him into a good leaf, and that she was right, that he is selfish, and has always been so concerned to think about paying off his pain, that he forgot hers, and has always thought about his pain, and had forgotten, that she too lost her child, and she would be in pain too. she apologises. the screen freezes on her face.
Precap: Kartik tells survi, as he bends down, saying that he wishes to have her back in his life, and shall make her and khushi his family. he says that he wishes to make the both of them, his life.

While watching this teaser trailer for Ryan Smith's intriguing looking "After", all I could say to myself was, "Man, I hope this movie isn't going where I think it's going." Given the title, the dialogue, and the visuals in just the minute long teaser, I already suspect I know where all of this is going, and I really hope it doesn't go there, because it's such an obvious and predictable "twist". Hopefully I'm wrong, and I get a much better movie than the pessimist in me is expecting. Until then, check out the first teaser trailer for Ryan Smith's "After".
When two bus crash survivors awake to discover that they are the only people left in their small town, they must form an unlikely alliance in a race to unravel the truth behind their isolation. As strange events begin to unfold, they start to question whether the town they know so well is really what it seems.
The film stars Steven Strait ("10,000 BC), Karolina Wydra (House's Russian wife from "House"), Sandra Lafferty, and Madison Lintz (aka Sophia from "The Walking Dead"). "After" is directed by Ryan Smith, who is making his feature film debut.
Opening September 14th, 2012 courtesy of Seabourne Pictures.

SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown felt his players showed Premier League potential in their 2-0 defeat to Hull City in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Roots Hall on Saturday.
Brown insisted he was proud of the performance as the spirited Shrimpers more than matched their top flight opponents before conceding twice in the final 30 minutes.
And the Blues boss is now backing some of his side to go on and play at the highest level of the game.
"I think we saw out there that there are players in our team who could one day go on and play in the Premier League themselves," said Brown, who was facing his former side.
"I think the players should be proud of how they played against a top team and they certainly gave it a really good go.
"It was pleasing to see but we just didn't maybe have the belief we needed in the final third of the pitch and I think Hull's extra quality in that area won them the game in the end.
"I actually think we were capable of more but all the battling qualities were there so I can't be too critical because Hull came and did a professional job on us."
Matt Fryatt scored both of Hull's goals to continue his impressive scoring sequence against the Shrimpers.
But before his brace, Blues twice came close to opening the scoring with Barry Corr having a header well saved by Steve Harper before Michael Timlin struck the crossbar from long range.
And Brown felt the game could have turned out differently if either of those efforts had gone in.
"The first goal was always going to be important and we just didn't get the breaks we needed to get it," said Brown.
"It was a good solid display but now we're back to our main focus of the season and that's winning promotion.
"If we can keep on playing like this then we have a real chance and it's important we're on form when we go to Dagenham tomorrow because they're a strong side."

Fullerton, CA- In their final tune-up before conference play, Hope International established their new single season high since joining the GSAC with their 15th win. The win came in the form of a 70-46 win over Bethesda on Wednesday. Senior Orlando Collins had 15 points and 8 rebounds. Junior Jeremy Kilgore also scored 15 points.
The Flames (1-14) scored first before Collins knocked a jumper after a pass from Freshman Garrett Neilan to tie the score at 2-2.
A free throw from Sophomore Austin Sanford and jumper from Senior Kris Rosales gave the Royals (15-1) a 5-2 edge.
BUC scored the next four points to take back the lead.
Neilan knocked down a three to briefly move Hope International back on top with a score 8-6. The Flames answered with a 6-2 run to push ahead.
Collins eventually tied the game at 14-14 with 10:51 to play in the first half. On their trip down the floor, Freshman Jimmy Jackson did one better as he buried a three pointer to give HIU the lead for good in the game at the 10:22 mark.
Despite leading from there on, the HIU advantage would not get any bigger than six points in the first half.
At the break, Collins led everyone with 11 points on the strength of 4-5 shooting in the half. Oddly, he had grabbed just one rebound in the first twenty minutes.
When the action resumed, HIU would built the lead up to eight before BUC knocked it back down to four.
With 11:18 showing left in the game, the Flames hit a free throw to get back within five points (41-36). However, the Royals answered with a 12-2 run to pulled away from the Flames who have just six players on their roster.
Jackson scored the final two points of the contest on free throws as HIU built their largest lead of the game.
Behind the 15 points from Collins and Kilgore, Sanford added 14 points. Neilan had 10 points and 8 rebounds. Rosales paced the offense with 7 assists.
Assistant Coach Jon Clasen commented, "We finished our preseason schedule with a good win over a very athletic team. Our man-to-man defense got tested tonight and that will prepare us well for conference."
The season high of 15 wins since 1999-00 (which came in the first 16 games) passes the previous mark of a complete season 14 wins set two seasons ago. The Royals still have some work to do if they want to break the all-time program record of 32 wins set back in the 1988-89 season.
Next up for the Royals is the start of Golden State Athletic Conference play which kicks off with a trip to The Master's College in Santa Clarita. The men and women will play doubleheaders in GSAC games with the men's games scheduled to start at 7:30 pm.

SALES of electrical goods in Kempsey have been given a boost by the combination of personal income tax cuts and the carbon pollution reduction scheme (CPRS) compensation payments.
This has also coincided with the start of the Olympic Games and both major retailers in Kempsey, Retravison and Betta, have reported strong sales of televisions and associated items.
The impending change over from analogue to digital television signals, which will happen in Kempsey in November, has also had an effect.
Nationally, overall retail sales jumped 1.2 per cent in May and a further 3.4 per cent in June to record the biggest two-month gain since $19 billion of stimulus payments were delivered to Australians between December 2008 and April 2009.
Kempsey Retravision owner Stuart Underhill said the effect of the tax cuts and CPRS compensation was noticeable.
"That is definitely the sense we are getting, that the two of these in combination is having an impact, and we are probably a bit up on where we were at the same time last year," he said.
"It is not as big as the Kevin Rudd economic stimulus payments in 2009, and I think you can say the CPRS compensation is basically an economic stimulus.
"As well as televisions we have had strong sales of digital video recorders (DVR) so that you can record the games and watch them at a more reasonable time."
Michael Wilson from Betta said that while sales had been good, stock supply issues had meant that not all products were always available.
"We have noticed an upswing of sales associated with the Olympics but this has been a world wide phenomenen so the manufacturers have been struggling to keep up," he said.
"Also the digital television signals in southern NSW have been switched off so a lot of the stock is going down there as people realise they need a digital television.
"That is something that people in Kempsey need to start thinking about, you might have upgraded the television in lounge room but what about the kid's room or the one I the kitchen or bedroom?
Mr Wilson said that 'price erosion' made it hard for retailers of electrical goods and computers.
"A computer that might have cost $2500 five years ago now costs half that, so you effectively have to sell twice as many to keep pace which is hard in a soft economy but we are doing OK," he said
"I think the worst of it is probably behind us and we are now looking forward to the run-up to Christmas."

YouTube to Live Stream Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits
I know we have a ton of music fans here in West Michigan. Obviously because thousands come to downtown Grand Rapids every time there's a concert. In the summer time, there are two big music festivals in the U.S. that many aren't able to make it to, but this year YouTube is taking you there.
The website announced just the other day that it will live stream Chicago's Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits in (obviously) Austin, TX.

Best Uses
- Was this a gift?:
- No (3)
Reviewed by 3 customers
- Bright colors
- Very Easy To Combine Link
- Bought 3 Only Needed 2
- Longer than advertised
Best Uses
The chain was longer than stated in the catalog. I bought 3, but only needed 2 to reach from the roof of my deck to the ground below. But the chain looks and works great. Now I have to find another place to brighten up with the remaining chain.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
I combined a majority of two colorful rain chains into one rain chain and positioned it up extra high on my second floor balcony: the consolidated rain chain dangles down, perfectly, (approximately 15") above my enchanted flower garden. I added the few left over pieces of the rain chain to a hanging flower basket. The rain chains bring the ambiance together between my garden and patio, and we enjoy watching the rain trickle, gently, down them. The rain chains look beautiful, and they help prevent my flowers from getting beat up by harsh rainfall. My neighbors love them, too!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Beautiful bright colors
- Weight On End - Good
- Did Not Come With Hardwar
Best Uses
Colors are great. Hummingbirds try to feed. It did not come with the hardware to hang. You might want to have it as an add on for when people order.

"But something was missing and I wanted to bring a new way of doing church into our area."
I grew up in a family that loved God and led us to love Him as well. We moved all over America to serve Him. When I was eight years old, my minister Dad, one of God's good guys and a private pilot, died in a plane crash along with a brother. I learned very early on as a child that life was brief and could end at any time.So, I became enamored about the meaning of life and what matters for in this life and the next. Several years later my Mom remarried to another minister and we settled in Charlotte. But something was still unsettled in me.
I grew into a young man who served the local church and then established a career in University life. All along, I was sharing Christ in the lives of numerous local churches. I got married to Andrea, my college sweetheart, had three great children, and settled in for life in the suburbs of the major metropolitan city where I grew up. In the early part of the year 2000, God began stirring something inside me. A vision was growing, taking shape, and would soon be birthed as a brand new church. The Pointe began deep down in my heart when I looked around at the way church was being done and said, "There has got to be another way!" I went to and often served in churches that should have been making a more powerful impact. But something was missing and I wanted to bring a new way of doing church into our area. The vision became my magnificent obsession. Someone put it this way, "To REACH those no one else is reaching we must DO what no one else is doing. The Pointe began in the spring of 2001 when Andrea, my wife, and our children partnered along with a small group of families who were captivated by this vision. From a handful of people around a kitchen table, we have grown to a community church that reaches 1000-1500 people regularly. Our mission is "To lead people to take their next step on their journey with Christ by loving, becoming like, and sharing Jesus Christ."

In four seasons as the starting goalkeeper on the Pinellas Park High girls soccer team, Alyssa Doheny never noticed a college scout on the sidelines.
She realized the team wasn't exactly viewed as a soccer juggernaut. It never had a winning season during her tenure.
"My freshman year was especially hard because it seemed I'd get mercy-ruled every single game," she said, referring to when a game is cut short because one team has an eight-goal lead. "I remember one game against Palm Harbor I had 40 shots coming at me. And that was only the first half."
But on Wednesday night, Doheny posed for photos after signing to play for the University of North Florida. She was one of 27 Tampa Bay area players to extend their soccer careers at a signing ceremony at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa.
The common thread among the group? All play for the Clearwater Chargers Soccer Club.
Doheny credits the Chargers for helping her earn a college scholarship.
"The first tournament I played with the Chargers, I was shocked because the entire sideline was filled with coaches," she said. "The first time I saw it, I said, 'Wow, there's a lot of parents here,' and someone was like, 'No, those are all coaches.' I had never seen that before."
Peter Mannino, director of coaching for the Clearwater Chargers, said the number of players signing this year was unprecedented for a club that touts Major League Soccer players Jeff Cunningham and Bobby Boswell as well as Kenny Cooper, who plays professionally in England, among its alums.
"The club has had a long history, 30-plus years, of being sort of a place where talented soccer players want to achieve to get to the next level," Mannino said.
"The club provides an opportunity, provides the proper curriculum and provides a good coaching staff, a staff that has the knowledge to take these kids to the next level."
Having so many talented players together also makes recruiting easier for college coaches under time and monetary constraints, further fueling the club's reputation as the premier destination locally for players hoping to play in college.
"It's worth a lot for a college coach to see that many players at once," Mannino said. "It saves them money, especially when their budget is not what it used to be. … And not only that, they actually see the player being challenged because the level of play is so high."

"Morihei gradually distanced himself from the techniques of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu over a span of more than two decades"
With the aid of rare historical photos, Stanley Pranin describes the process of Morihei Ueshiba's gradual modification of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu techniques into the forms that would become the basis of modern aikido. The roles of Daito-ryu and Morihei's teacher, Sokaku Takeda, in the evolution of aikido were for many years minimized before recently becoming well documented through Stanley Pranin's published research.

Using power only during image refresh, the technology will enable the creation of device displays providing significant energy savings. Different in operation from cholesteric or other bistable technologies, a ZBD uses a simple microstructured grating surface to control the alignment of the liquid-crystal molecules. Otherwise the display construction is similar to that of a conventional LCD. With a reflectivity greater than 36% and a contrast ratio of over 20:1, a display with a 4-µm cell gap can operate with as little as 10 V for a refresh speed of 2 ms or at up to 35 V for a speed of less than 30 µs. The displays can be made on a standard LCD line, with the gratings created by standard photolithography or embossing techniques. A display using zenithal bistable LCD technology uses no power between screen updates.The operating temperature range is from 20° to over 80°C, and the technology is suitable for flexible substrates because of wide manufacturing tolerances. Currently monochrome, the LCD is being developed in color versions as well.

PESHAWAR, Jan 12: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa elementary and secondary education department has failed to implement the provincial government's decision taken two years ago to introduce the carrot and stick policy for the administrative heads and teachers of government schools for the secondary school certificate examination results.
According to the relevant officials, the carrot and stick approach was to be introduced to push government schoolteachers to perform duty diligently.
They said all boards of intermediate and secondary education in the province had declared SSC examination results in June 2012 but the relevant teachers of government schools had yet to be rewarded or punished.
The officials said according to the criteria set by the education department, if less than 40 per cent students of a government school passed SSC examination, the results were poor.
They said 71 high and higher secondary schools for boys and girls in the province had shown poor SSC examination results in June 2012.
According to them, Peshawar had three schools with poor results, Nowshera and Swabi 14 each, Mardan and Abbottabad 11 each, Bannu and Lakki Marwat eight each, Haripur and Lower Dir seven each, Mansehra and Kohat five each, Karak and Charsadda four each, and Upper Dir and Chitral three each.
The officials said the education department had yet to receive SSC examination results from schools in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Battagram, Torghar, Swat and Malakand.
They said of the 71 schools showing poor results, less than 10 per cent of the students of seven schools passed SSC examination, while not a single student of three schools in Kohat, Lakki Marwat and Haripur passed the SSC examination.
The officials said the punishment of headmasters and teachers of the schools for poor results was denial of annual increment, while the reward for teachers performing well was issuance of appreciation letters and certificates.
An educationist blamed poor SSC examination results on the ineffective administrations of the schools and said many schools in the province had unmotivated teachers, faced teacher shortage and suffered from lawlessness.
A senior official at the E&SE Directorate told Dawn that names of the schools showing poor SSC examination results had been sent to the E&SE Secretariat for disciplinary action.
However, sources in the E&SE Secretariat said there was confusion about the data of school with poor results as the directorate had given names of the schools and their headmasters and teachers without mentioning when they assumed the charge.
They said if a headmaster or teachers were transferred from a school one or two months before the start of SSC examination, then the newcomers couldn't be held responsible for poor results.

SLC26A2 gene
solute carrier family 26 member 2
The SLC26A2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that transports charged molecules (ions), particularly sulfate ions, across cell membranes. This protein appears to be active in many of the body's tissues, including developing cartilage. Cartilage is a tough, flexible tissue that makes up much of the skeleton during early development. Most cartilage is later converted to bone, except for the cartilage that continues to cover and protect the ends of bones and is present in the nose and external ears.
Cartilage cells use sulfate ions transported by the SLC26A2 protein to build molecules called proteoglycans. These molecules, which each consist of several sugars attached to a protein, help give cartilage its rubbery, gel-like structure. Because sulfate ions are required to make proteoglycans, the transport activity of the SLC26A2 protein is essential for normal cartilage formation.
At least eight mutations in the SLC26A2 gene have been found to cause a form of achondrogenesis known as type 1B or the Parenti-Fraccaro type. This rare disorder of bone development is characterized by extremely short limbs, short fingers and toes, a narrow chest, and a prominent, rounded abdomen. Serious health problems result from these abnormalities, and infants with achondrogenesis usually die before or soon after birth.
Two SLC26A2 gene mutations appear to be relatively common causes of achondrogenesis type 1B. One of these mutations deletes a single protein building block (amino acid) at position 341 in the SLC26A2 protein. This genetic change is written as Val341del. The other mutation deletes three DNA building blocks (base pairs) at a specific place in the SLC26A2 gene. This genetic change is written as c.1020_1022delTGT.
The SLC26A2 gene mutations that cause achondrogenesis type 1B prevent the production of any functional protein from the SLC26A2 gene. Without this protein, cartilage cells are unable to take up the necessary sulfate ions, and cells cannot produce normal proteoglycans. A lack of these important molecules severely disrupts the structure of cartilage, making it look coarse and spongelike under a microscope. Because much of the skeleton develops from cartilage before birth and in early childhood, SLC26A2 gene mutations prevent bones from developing and growing normally, causing the severe skeletal abnormalities seen in achondrogenesis type 1B.
At least eight SLC26A2 gene mutations have been identified in people with atelosteogenesis type 2, another severe disorder of cartilage and bone development. Affected individuals typically have a mutation in one copy of the gene that disrupts the normal structure of the SLC26A2 protein, and a mutation in the other copy of the gene that prevents the production of any functional protein.
One common mutation that causes atelosteogenesis type 2 replaces the amino acid arginine with the amino acid tryptophan at position 279 in the protein (written as Arg279Trp or R279W). In the Finnish population, the most common mutation (usually written as IVS1+2T>C) interferes with the normal processing of the SLC26A2 protein.
SLC26A2 gene mutations alter the structure and function of the SLC26A2 transporter protein, which disrupts the ability of cartilage cells to take up the necessary sulfate ions. The cell is then unable to produce normal proteoglycans, which affects the structure of cartilage and the normal formation and growth of bones.
More than 20 SLC26A2 gene mutations have been identified in people with diastrophic dysplasia. This disorder of cartilage and bone development has features similar to those of atelosteogenesis type 2 (described above), although diastrophic dysplasia tends to be less severe. Like people with atelosteogenesis type 2, people with diastrophic dysplasia usually have a mutation in one copy of the gene that disrupts the normal structure of the SLC26A2 protein and a mutation in the other copy of the gene that prevents the production of any functional protein.
The SLC26A2 gene mutations that cause diastrophic dysplasia disrupt the ability of cartilage cells to take up the necessary sulfate ions. Without enough sulfate, the cell is unable to produce normal proteoglycans. A lack of these essential molecules affects the structure of cartilage and the normal formation and growth of bones.
At least four mutations in the SLC26A2 gene have been found in people with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, a disorder of cartilage and bone development that primarily affects the ends of the long bones in the arms and legs (epiphyses). SLC26A2 gene mutations cause the recessive form of the disorder, which is also characterized by malformations of the hands, feet, and knees; abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis); and other birth defects.
Mutations that cause recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia typically replace one amino acid with another amino acid in the SLC26A2 protein. The most common mutation replaces the amino acid arginine with the amino acid tryptophan at position 279 in the protein (written as Arg279Trp or R279W). Another mutation that commonly causes this condition replaces the amino acid cysteine with the amino acid serine at position 653 in the SLC26A2 protein (written as Cys653Ser or C653S).
The SLC26A2 gene mutations that result in recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia tend to have less serious effects than mutations that cause life-threatening skeletal disorders such as achondrogenesis type 1B. As a result of these milder mutations, the SLC26A2 protein likely retains some of its function as a transporter of sulfate ions. Cartilage and bone formation are impaired to a lesser degree, which may help explain the less severe signs and symptoms of recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.

So according to Barack Obama, the Republican jobs plan seeks to create dirty air, dirty water, and no health care for the population. Yes, and it also encourages those evil railroad companies to put Grandma out of her house, the oil companies to rape the land and God knows what else evil it shall wrought. His plan, on the other hand, is designed to save the jobs of teachers and state workers (first responders he calls them) and there lies one major difference between Obama and the GOP. Obama wishes to save the jobs of teachers and state workers because in Obama's rendition of the new math, a job saved is a job created. The GOP, conversely, seeks to create jobs preferably through the private sector, by removing onerous and ridiculous regulations (many of them at the hand of an out-of-control EPA). But, Obama would rather have his little laugh as he appeals to his liberal base and seeks to corner the environmentalist vote which I did not know was a huge voting bloc. If not, then his characterization is so off the mark that it does not demand the attention it has been getting.
But, not to be outdone, Nobel Prize winning "economist" and Obama brown noser, Paul Krugman, recently wrote an editorial supporting this theory of dirty air and water. While it may be true that the GOP plan draws from an American Petroleum Institute study of job creation in the energy sector, his attack on the GOP reliance uses the very arguments he rails against. He cites a single study by some college in Massachusetts that shows that the energy sector, through the creation of pollution, exacts a greater toll in public health problems than in the advantages to society (as in good wages, benefits and those other tangible things). Whereas he criticizes the GOP for relying on a single study by the API, he then cites a single study by some college which, incidentally, admits up front that it is exceedingly difficult to quantify the things they then nevertheless quantify.
And speaking of the EPA, they were founded to govern our environmental laws based on the fact that dirty air and water are a detriment to the public health and that the government can therefore regulate in this area. I do not believe there is a single member of the Republican Party who would advocate dirty air and water. However, somewhere along the line, the scales have tipped too far towards the environmental concerns that it has exceeded its authority. How could the migratory habits of seasonal fowl and horned owls and newts in a river affect the general public health? One reform that is needed- and I am not one to call for the abolition of the EPA outright- is to require societal cost/benefit analysis when enacting regulations and if the regulation disproportionately affects the economy, then look for option B. Otherwise, the average Joe won't have a job to see the environment the EPA seeks to save through regulation.
There is absolutely no doubt that government regulations cost businesses billions annually. And there are numerous studies documenting this fact on both sides of the political spectrum. It is an objective fact which Krugman and company surprisingly ignore. And there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that when the pipeline that would connect the oil fields in Canada with our refineries in Texas is considered, the EPA will interject and interfere with what should be a no-brainer in meeting our energy needs and creating jobs along the way. And how this will affect the "public health" will remain to be seen.
This is much like Obama's hell bent insistence on "green jobs." The Solyndra debacle aside, this is nothing but a liberal pipe dream. If the purpose of that agenda is to create good paying jobs while helping the environment and decreasing (dare I say it?) the emissions of green house gases, I have an even better green jobs program that ties in with that regulation thing Obama rails in favor of lest we have "dirty air and dirty water." It is called nuclear energy. It produces very little, if any, greenhouse gases. However, the same people who argue for their rendition of a green jobs agenda misinforms the public with scare tactics about nuclear energy. While it may be very expensive to bring a nuclear plant online, most of that cost is due to construction costs and the regulations (that word again) associated with it, not to mention the costly litigation from tree huggers along the way. A careful, honest, sober analysis of nuclear energy reveals that the only drawback is nuclear waste. Of course, Yucca Mountain is out of the question as long as Harry Reid controls the Senate, but there are other solutions. France, which gets something like 85% of their energy from nukes, partially recycles their spent rods. Why can't we? Wouldn't that alone create good paying jobs that also help the environment? Why isn't nuclear energy included in the portfolio of green jobs or alternative energy sources?
The problem for Obama is that he has become a lackey for the liberals within the Democratic Party and a shill for the environmental movement. He also has a bigger problem: the economy and, specifically, jobs. With a nagging 9.1% unemployment rate nationally, he calls for a jobs bill to save the jobs of teachers and state workers. Incidentally, the unemployment rate among public workers is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5%. Yet, we are to go into deeper debt to save the jobs of a voting bloc apt to vote Democratic in November, 2012. Then he accuses the GOP of playing politics. Because he occupies the White House does not mean that he is above playing the very games of which he accuses his opponents. Having the "bully pulpit" does not make you correct.
A few months ago when Obama was out touting some economic plan or something, he stated that the while his plan was trying to move the car forward, the Republicans were trying to go in reverse. Of course, he then trotted out the "same failed policy of the Bush years" line that today falls on deaf ears, something he does not seem to understand. Then he doubled down on that little ditty of an analogy and said the GOP was trying to drive the car into a ditch. News flash: the economy is in a ditch and has been for a while. Everything he has proposed since has made those wheels spin more wildly in the muck. And it got worst on Obama's watch while driving the Nation deeper into debt with failed stimulus designed "to take advantage of a crisis." That advantage was taken to the disadvantage of all. Hopefully, voters will not fall for Obama's nonsense again in 2012. He has had three years to take a bad situation and make it considerably worse. If this Nation wants job creation in the private sector, there is only one solution: Fire Barack Obama come November, 2012.

"Movember" - raising awareness and eyebrows
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:33:25 GMT —
What do you think, ladies? Do you think moustaches are "sexy?"
You may have heard of "Movember," an awareness campaign for prostate and testicular cancer that encourages men to not shave during the month of November. And, evidently, many women want "Movember" to last all year long.
A recent survey conducted by mycelebrityfashion.co.uk has revealed that women think facial hair makes their men look " sexy" and "mature," even though many admitted they hated the look in the beginning. According to the survey of 1,236 women, a quarter of women will be pleading their partners not to shave off their facial hair at the end of November when the "Movember" campaign ends.
According to the "Movember" website, "Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of menâ??s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives." According to The National Cancer Institute, in 2012, 241,740 new cases of prostate cancer were reported, and 28, 170 deaths occured from prostate cancer.

We've all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words – but I was curious about exactly how important a role photos play when it comes to home-buying.
So I ran a little experiment: looked at homes sold from the REIL MLS (San Jose Bay Area Market). All of them were listed for sale in March and April of 2010, and they were all grouped by zip code. The "average" home listed for sale in this particular area at this particular time had 3 bedrooms & 2 baths, cost $662,000, and was built in 1971, so I created a theoretical home that matched that description and tested the effect of adding more photos.
Overall, I found that going from 0 photos to 9 photos (9 is the max number of photos allowed by the MLS) would reduce the number of Days on the Market (DoM) from about 57 days to about 49 days – about a 14% decrease. Each photo added to a listing reduces the days on market by about .88 days. Take a look at this snazzy graph below:
As a way of checking my work, I also looked at sold houses listed in March and April of 2010 in the MRMLS (Los Angeles Area Market).
Again, they were all grouped by zip code and I used a theoretical "average" home listed in this area at this period. In this case, it had 3 bedrooms & 2 baths, cost $298,000, and was built in 1978.
I don't know if is the MRMLS places a limit to the number of photos, but the max I found was 27.
In this particular area,going from 0 photos to 27 photos would reduce the DoM from about 92 days to about 82 days, or about 11%. Each photo reduces the days on market by about .37 days. You can see the break-down on the graph below:
So, here's the moral of the story: a picture IS worth a lot, and each photo you add gives your listing a tangible advantage over a similar home that skimped on the eye-candy. So make sure to sit down with your real estate agent to select photos that show off your property's best angles – and select LOTS of them!

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hello, My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be glad to assist you.
How long have you had the set for?
Also, is the light blinking continuously, or in a pattern (such as 5 blinks, pause, 5 blinks, pause, then repeat)?
Thank you for the reply.
The flashing light would indicate that there is a short inside the set stopping it from fully powering up.
While it's hard to tell 100% for certain what went wrong without performing some tests, it is most probable that there is a failure on the power supply board inside the TV. Commonly the capacitors on this board will receive a surge and then fail. They can sometimes be visually verified by removing the rear of the set and inspecting them for bulges or leaking fluid at the top or the base of the caps. This is the most common mode of failure for these sets.
The capacitors are located on the power board inside the set, where the AC cord plugs into and can be replaced by a Tech for no more than $150 parts and labor if this is the case. The power board itself will run you roughly between $350-$450 to have replaced.
The set definitely requires component testing and replacement in order to get it to function properly again. Unfortunately there is no sequence of buttons or reset you can perform to get the set working again. Do you have any experience testing live voltages, or soldering on electronic equipment?
If not, then I would suggest using the link below to locate a technician in your area:
If you need further assistance, let me know.

Awesome Speakers!
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I ordered these speakers after doing my homework and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are incredibly balanced and all of the nuances you might experience in a live setting seem to be captured. I listen to blues, classic rock and older jazz-they sound great with whatever I throw at them. The salespeople at Crutchfield were knowledgeable and courteous-they will get my business again. If you're looking for a moderately priced loudspeaker that will easily fill a small to medium sized room, seriously consider these. I'm pushing mine with an Onkyo TX-NR636 and at 95 watts a side, these sound great.
Pros: Full, balanced sound, great construction, beautifully finished.
Cons: None.
