These don't resemble SEC Media Days (with an S).
There aren't 1,100-plus media personnel from national publications, itching for issue stories. More like 100, scratching their heads.
This one-day affair shouldn't grow more issue-prone than the OVC's preseason picks, but it has lately.
A year ago, the coaches came to Nashville just days after SEC commissioner Mike Slive stirred conversation about his "national agenda for change," proposals that now impact programs across Division I.
A year later, they came to Nashville on the day the NCAA hurled unprecedented penalties against Penn State, stemming from the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case.
The NCAA levied a $60 million fine, four-year bowl ban, severe scholarship reductions and vacation of 112 victories dating back to 1998, stripping the legacy of no less than the late Joe Paterno.
The NCAA did so in response to Penn State's internal probe, which alleged of a publicity-obsessed cover-up involving Paterno, the school's former president and athletics director.
The message from the penalties is clear — no program should get too big to fail. Winning at all costs will cost all.
Even OVC coaches seem to agree, it's a message that should resonate throughout college football.
"It seems like when I started, it was still a game," said Watson Brown, who coaches Tennessee Tech, like all OVC members a second-tier Division I school.
He has coached in college football's top division, at Vanderbilt and UAB, and his brother Mack holds the same job at Texas, one of college football's richest and more pressure-packed programs.
"I'm not sure how much of a game it is any more," Watson Brown said. "It's all for the dollars."
He looked at two of his players, seated across a table.
"Even on our level, these kids feel the business side and the importance of winning and the pressures of that and the year-round work that the kids do," he said. "I don't know that we're out of control, but hypothetically, at the same time, it is important to understand that we are part of a university. We're not the university."
Murray State's Chris Hatcher called the penalties "worse than the 'death penalty,'" which is NCAA parlance for a suspension of play for one or more years.
He considers the penalties too harsh but acknowledges the underlying perspective problem.
"I think society is out of perspective," he said. "I help coach Little League Baseball, and if you want to come see out of perspective, come watch Little League Baseball play a ballgame with everything that's going on.
"Sports have always been out of perspective."
Jacksonville State's Jack Crowe sees parallels beyond sports.
"It's sort of like some of these darned corporations that caused some of our fiscal issues," he said. "Whether it's power, whether it's money or whether it's football, when you let people control their own destiny, sometimes they don't take care of all the things that affect everybody involved.
"This should have been taken care of at some point in time."
And why didn't Paterno and others go to proper authorities the moment they learned of his long-time assistant coach's crimes, some having occurred in Penn State athletic facilities?
Why didn't Penn State's most influential people do more to protect Sandusky's child victims?
Crowe said he's "at a loss" but posited a theory.
"You allow yourself to see things differently than you normally would because of circumstances or consequences, then you look back, maybe two or three years later, and the person couldn't believe themselves how they reacted," he said.
If penalties the NCAA announced Monday don't snap things back into perspective, the fact that we're talking Joe Paterno should.
Before being stripped of 111 victories, he was college football's winningest coach with 409. He was widely praised, even deified for never drawing sniffs from NCAA investigators in 46 years on the job.
"I know Joe Paterno," Crowe said. "I know Joe from having coached against him. I know Joe from having recruited against him, and I know Joe from having been on a couple of Nike trips where it's just a bunch of coaches all doing the same things.
"There's nothing about this that matches that or that person."
Still, Crowe called the penalties appropriate.
"In terms of what they've done, it had to be dealt with," he said. "There's three litmus tests for doing something serious, and they broke every one of them, as far as I can tell."
Even on the lower end of Division I's food chain, the hope is that the NCAA's crushing penalties against Penn State snap things back into perspective.
That way, at least, guys like first-year Eastern Illinois coach Dino Babers can come to OVC media day and talk football.
"I don't have the resume or the pedigree to even say anything about Joe Paterno," he said. "Penn State football has been good forever, and I'm not a Penn State guy, so I don't get a vote about it.
"But as a football coach, I just wish that we would do more. Morally, let's do right."

Project Instructions
Step 1 Slide one 10mm opaque ruby round onto a head pin. Make a wrapped loop. Repeat 14 more times for a total of 15 ruby drops.

Step 6 Place an eye pin through one of the holes of an antique silver- plated crystal slider and make a 90° bend in the wire about ¼" from the loop. Bend the wire so that it conforms to the shape of the slider, with the eye of the eye pin extending perpendicularly to the path of the wire in the hole.

b. Create one center dangle by attaching the loop of one small link of the triple dangle you just made to the U-shaped eye pin with two pink luster rounds on it.
Step 12 Construct the necklace by attaching triple dangles to the first seven loops, then attach the center dangle to the two center loops using two 5mm jump rings. Attach triple dangles to the last seven loops.
Step 13 On one end of the rhinestone chain add one rhinestone cup finding by placing the final rhinestone into the cup and folding the tiny prongs over the rhinestone. Repeat on the opposite end of the chain.
Step 14 Open the wrapped eye pin loop at one end of the necklace and slide the lobster clasp onto it. Close the loop.
Step 15 Open the wrapped eye pin loop at the other end of the necklace and slide onto it the loop of the rhinestone cup finding. Close the loop.
Step 16 Open the 6mm jump ring and slide onto it the slider charm, the rhinestone cup at the opposite end of the chain and one bright pink drop. Close the loop.

MLS is unhappy with its fans for using a profane chant during games, so they've sent out letters to warn the potty-mouth perpetrators that action will be taken if it continues. Some fans have already reacted.

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; "and even if my head would go through," thought poor Alice, "it would be of very little use without my shoulders."
Most critics have concluded that this scene from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland had a lot to do with author Lewis Carroll's fondness for opium.
But Carroll was a numbers man — he was a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford — and he was familiar with the frustration of an elusive solution.
Chief financial officers can relate. For years they have been seeking unfettered access to the full array of treasury, accounting, and supply-chain applications deployed by their companies. No small wish. While the makers of enterprise business applications have generally promised flawless integration between their products and clients' legacy programs, more often than not there've been flaws. In some cases corporate users have had to bring in third-party software vendors to help bridge the gaps between business applications, information, and hardware. Even when employees have managed to gain access to siloed systems, figuring out how to sift through the mounds of data inside has proved to be a daunting task.
If you think we're leading up to something, you're right. Like the swell garden in Wonderland, the promised land of single-entry computing is finally in sight. Enterprise portals — personalized Web pages that provide point-and-click access to almost all data and software, no matter where the stuff resides — have finally started to catch on with mainstream business users. Indeed, a number of industry experts believe that these commercial equivalents of consumer portals like MyYahoo will soon become the standard desktop interface for most corporate computer users.
Things certainly seem headed in that direction. In the past 12 months scores of US companies, including Boeing, GMAC-RFC, and Ricoh, have deployed enterprise portals of one sort or another. Admittedly, most of the deploying has been done by or for human resources departments. But now it appears that finance departments may soon be getting portals of their very own.
That's a marked turnaround from last year, when — vendor hype notwithstanding — few companies were considering deploying corporate portals for the finance department (see "Portal Envy," CFO, July 2000). One possible reason: There weren't any corporate portals for the finance department. Early offerings in the market, including TreasuryConnect.com and CFOWeb.com, were external sites hosted by outside companies and had little integration with back- end systems. That made them more like niche Web sites than true portals, and most lacked the star power needed to attract large numbers of corporate clients. Many of these sites have since gone to that great URL in the sky.

Ok - well, here goes nothing! I just posted my 12 week pic in my profile. I'm not sure if this is the pic I will use to send in with my packet, but it gives a good idea of my transformation.
You know what's funny? Even though I'm only a few pounds away from my goal weight, I feel like I'm just beginning my journey. I'm pretty happy with my fat loss, but I'm excited because I want to keep going! I'm thinking about doing an amateur figure competition maybe next year - I really have to lower my body fat more and get more cut, but this is fun as hell! It's like I'm an artist and I'm sculpting my body into exactly what I want it to be! It's so exhilerating! So, anyway, here are my results. Hope you enjoy!
"Without struggle there is no growth"
Congratulations! You look fantastic! I am hoping for such good results when I'm at 12 weeks. I also have aspirations to do a bodybuilding competition. I know I have a long way to go, but am enjoying the getting there :)
You rock !!!! and you look great and I hope you are proud of what you've done !
Amazing results!! You look wonderful!
Your arms, abs and legs look so much tighter!!!
Stacy Lynn
Congratulations on finishing 12 weeks!! Cartwheels and flips for you!
And I agree - the fun is just beginning for you - you have an awesome base to build on. As you continue with BFL you are going to get more ripped and cut or whatever term you like! Its true. Strength and definition is for the taking. All you have to do my dear is rest and repeat.
High 5. JOHNNY - WE HAVE ANOTHER WINNER!!
Heather, I think you are truly awesome for completing your 12 weeks! You look FANTASTIC, and you you have definately inspired me to keep going with my 12 week challenge! I wish you all the best of luck, and even though I dont know you, I am very proud of you!
Congrats! You look amazing! Great arms! I have 4 weeks to go and love to see inspiring photos.
runninggrl :)
Thanks all! You really know how to make someone feel great! I've been feeling self conscious about my picture since I put it up, but I actually feel great now after all your kind comments. Thanks again, couldn't do it without all of your support!
Thanks, Legs! I've appreciated you greatly over the past 12 weeks. BTW, how long is it suggested to rest?
Thanks superstar! Here is a post from Mike Harris - he explains it well. I personally took 2 weeks between C1 and 2 and only 1 week in between 2 and 3. You will know when your body is ready. It does need to rest though. Chances of you burning out, losing desire and also overtraining and getting injured are things to think about if you only take one week off. At the time between 2 and 3, my mind was not in a good place...I needed the structure and discipline of BFL and got back in the game early. Here's the post....:ACTIVE REST – BFLMIKE!</FONT< big>
Are you planning another challenge after finishing the one you're in now? If so, the material that follows should be of some interest and some help to you. It seems like roughly one-half of those who start and complete a 12 week transformation challenge are planning on going into another one in order to get into the shape that they want.
The first thing I want to ask you–actually I'm begging you–is to NOT GO IMMEDIATELY from one challenge right into the next one without a break. Here's why. Whether you really feel like it or not, a transformation challenge takes a toll on you. The early rising, strenuous exercising and relatively strict dieting are good for you–but over 12 weeks time they can also wear you out.
You deserve AND NEED a week or more of rest before you get back into the gym. Think about this: If you go right from one challenge to another, what you're really doing is taking a 24 week challenge. That's nearly 6 months, and it's longer than most should be doing. Most second and subsequent challenges that occur without a break between tend to be very unproductive and unhappy experiences. They also tend to be more often plagued by injuries, illnesses and overtraining effects.
My favorite fitness author, Albuquerque attorney Clarence Bass, coined the phrase "active rest." That's what you need to do between challenges. What you need to do, for at least one week and preferably two, is to stay clear out of the gym and away from the weight lifting routine entirely. And don't worry about losing muscle mass, you won't. The phenomenon called muscle memory will put you right back into the groove very quickly once you are rested. In fact, you might actually pick up some muscle mass due to the well-deserved rest. Your joints will thank you for it too.
Instead of lifting weights, do one or two of your favorite non-resistance training types of exercises. I do lots of calisthenics such as pushups, pullups, and squat jumps. I also do some bike riding or stair climbing. I take very long walks with my dog. Others enjoy things like swimming, mountain climbing, hiking, or even chopping wood and heavy gardening activity. This gets you out of the old groove, works different areas of your body, and still gives you plenty of fat-burning and fitness forming activity.
As for the diet, stick with the six meals a day. But, add in a bit of red meat if you are inclined, and experiment with some non-typical foods. This might be a good time to try a little of that natural peanut butter you've been craving. I eat a fair amount of non-tropical fruits and berries as carb portions during my rest periods. And I eat some lean red meat which has lots of creatine in it. Don't make your two weeks off a two week free day or you'll regret it.
Consider your two weeks active rest a working vacation. You'll be amazed at your renewed strength, your enthusiastic outlook, and your youthful appearance following your time off. If you don't do it, you'll feel like you're dragging a 100 pound anchor around with you for the next twelve weeks. Which one sounds like the best bet to you?
Congratulations!! Great job. I'm 2 weeks behind you. I will also post my pics at the end of my challenge.
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Awesome, Heather! You look beautiful! Thank you for sharing your photos = they are such an inspiration! I'm at C1W5D6, and I find myself flagging a little. I know it's just hormones, but I'll be glad when I'll be able to say I've come as far as you - you look so young and vibrant! Congrats! :D
"The limits you are living with right now, in every aspect of your existence, have been created by your mind. They are perceptions. And they are holding you back. You are capable of far more than you think you are." -Bill Phillips

Learn Tunisian Crochet from Books
I've noticed a lot of emails and posts about people wanting to learn Tunisian crochet in the new year. How would you like to learn? No matter how you'd like to learn, I've got you covered.
If you like a more traditional style of learning from books, I've got four great books that can take you from the beginner level through the more intermediate level.
The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Tunisian Crochet takes you through all the common stitches and then you progress to higher levels with projects sorted in order of learning. You can learn all those little extras like how to seam, how to change colors and more.
Learn to Do Tunisian Lace Stitches first takes you through all the basic stitches then combines them to make lace stitch patterns. Practice the stitches with some beautiful lace projects. And, it comes with a DVD which you can pop into your computer or DVD player so that you get one-on-one video lessons on all the stitches and complete videos of the lace stitch patterns.
Tunisian Cables to Crochet is a step-by-step guide on learning to make beautiful cables that look like hand-knit and can be made in 1/3 the time of hand-knit projects. Although I knit as well, when it comes to gift-giving crunch time, I would rather pick a Tunisian cabled project over a hand-knit project.
Lastly, a stitch dictionary. Tunisian Crochet Stitch Guide is a new, one-of-a-kind stitch dictionary which includes many never-before-seen stitch patterns. Just flipping through the book, you will see its uniqueness in the pineapple stitch patterns you can create with Tunisian crochet, something that I've read cannot be done. I apparently have a problem with being told I can't do something! ha! This book is scheduled for release in March, but is available for pre-order now.
Read more about all of these books on my Amazon author page here.
Learn Tunisian Crochet from Online Video Classes
Now, if you like to learn from classes, but you're unable to attend one of my live classes, how about a video class? I have two fabulous online classes at Annie's. And, with online classes, you can watch the videos over and over, as many times as you would like. And, there are wonderful patterns to go with them!
Hard to believe that you can get this fabulous hat from a beginner class, right? But, it's true! Read more about my online Annie's classes here. I have two classes at Annie's. One is a beginner level with 4 great projects. The second expands upon that knowledge with cables and lace. Here is the lovely cabled project. I enjoyed this project so much that I couldn't make a firm decision with what project I wanted to do. So, I've included instructions for making a scarf, shawl, baby blanket, wrap AND and throw.
With so many Tunisian crochet patterns now available, now is the perfect time to learn. If you're still unsure about Tunisian crochet, browse my Pinterest page here with some Tunisian crochet eye candy. And, if you need some research on the hooks, have a look at my Hooks page here. Enjoy!

Overload your opium pipe today? Hit the liquor stash in the car trunk?They do make nice furniture.
I just wish they would use European growth.
American wood just don't cut the mustard
European wood? What wood? That crap they grow like corn in vast straight lines and mill at 8" diameter?
You need to be knighted by the king in England to cut an oak down. [one of the 6 not in a park]
Your beloved Beech is all illegal Siberian logged, a disaster to the enviroment under no rules whatsoever except bribes.
The few oaks left are in Eastern Europe and the Ukraine.
Let me see you buy 8 to 12" wide CLEAR oak for $1.57 delivered, kiln dried. You can quadruple that cost even in Romania.
Buying black walnut for $3.42 a foot - likely 15$ in europe and American anyway.
Finally, we have REDWOOD, the king of woods. Because of our crash, I bought full rough all red 2x12's for .39 cents per board foot -several thousand feet. If I coud get it to Germany, I could retire.
Look up Sugar pine and 'Sierra Pacific lumber company' privately held, and he owns about 7 million acres of private timberland - largest private timber company on earth. Try that in Europe or England. And all managed under extraordinarily strict rules.
Just reopened one mill in Chinese camp, Ca. -3 shifts, and the logs are finally rolling through town, 20 to 50 inch diameter, 40 feet long. These would go to a museum in England.
Just cut down a standing dead sugar pine on my land. 54" at the base. Plenty of dead smaller ones for the woodpeckers.

The heart and vascular center at Memorial Hospital specializes in evaluating and treating heart and vascular conditions including:
• irregular heart beats caused by an electrical problem
• partially blocked main or peripheral arteries impairing the ability to carry blood throughout the body
• heart failure as a result of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, or uncontrolled blood pressure over time
One of our routine diagnostic processes for heart patients includes computed tomography angiography (CTA).Our 64-slice CT scanner allows the doctor to see an amazing level of detail about what's going on inside your body … all in high-resolution 3D imagery.
But when we do a CTA, we're not only looking at your heart. We're looking at your whole body.
For instance, when a CTA is performed, it may appear that the heart function is normal, but it's possible for the doctor to discover an entirely different health issue while reading the results.
That's just one example of the advanced diagnostics technology we have at the heart and vascular center at Memorial Hospital to help us discover what might be going wrong inside of you.
After you receive the results of your in-depth diagnostic test, you can discuss the results with a doctor or a team of doctors who specialize in cardiovascular care. You will be able to ask questions and get answers immediately. After diagnosis, your doctor will discuss the appropriate treatments and procedures, such as medication, therapy, surgery, and more, for your medical condition.
And you'll be glad to know that no other hospital in southern Colorado performs more cardiovascular surgeries each year than Memorial. That means your care is in the hands of the most practiced surgeons and specialists in southern Colorado.

Without a doubt this is the most common question that is asked by the novice. The answer is actually quite simple and also partially subjective. It is simple once you stop to consider how a projector produces black in an image. It does so by NOT projecting any light onto the screen surface. In an environment where the projector is the only source of light, even a white surface will look black to the viewer. Black is simply the lack of all light, Right!?
For some early models of projectors, the ability to completely block all light for black regions of an images was not possible. At that time the gray screen surface was used to improve the perceived black levels. With successive models of projectors the ability to cut off light has been improved. This is reflected in the ever increasing contrast ratio specifications. So why would you want to employ a gray screen now with a modern projector? The main reason is to help with tolerance of ambient light. Ambient light is any light in the room that is not projected onto the screen to produce an image. That includes other light sources as well as light from the screen reflecting off of the walls and ceiling.
The most effective way to improve the image on a white or gray screen is to reduce or eliminate all other sources of light. This can be achieved through window coverings, appropriate lighting, and the use of darker wall and ceiling colors. The use of front projection equipment is finding it's way out of dedicated private theaters into the home environment. In the past a room was often set aside as a theater room only. This allowed the enthusiast to implement a private theater with appropriate lighting and surface colors. There is a new wave of people, myself included, that do not want a private theater in their home. I want to integrate a large screen into my living room. IMHO, that is what a "Home Theater" is. It is the ability to create the theater experience in a home environment. This often restricts the room darkening techniques that can be employed. This for many is the main reason for selecting a gray screen. Total elimination of ambient light is often not inline with the interior decorating goals of other members of the household.
The use of a gray screen can significantly improve the perceived image quality when there is some ambient light present in the room. This will be demonstrated in the following post. If you are able to control all ambient light sources, and paint all surfaces in the room a suitable dark matte color then white is the right choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sfrancesca beautiful this has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. it suits my personality well ... affordable, european, bohemian, arty. i use it as a shawl and a scarf. and am constantly receiving compliments. March 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mleeoger wrong colors I mean the reddish version is beautiful too but I really wanted the one with the darker pink/purple colors instead. So online that color was labeled as "terracotta" and the reddish one was labeled as "pink" so I ordered the terracotta because I wanted the purple one! I called the service guy and he was really nice, saying he would send me a new one after they do a quality check. They send me a new one two days later but it was the same exact color! I'm begining to think they don't even have the purple one, which is the picture they have up right now labeled "terracotta". March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ecclecticfashionista BEWARE OF COLORS I adore this poncho. It's hip & can be styled in different ways, plus the color I chose (Terra Cotta is lovely BUT therein lies the problem. I had originally ordered PINK according to the picture on-line. However, I got the color pictured as Terra Cotta...very wrong!!! It's a good thing I ordered it on sale + 15% b-day discount. So I promptly called Cust. Svc. to reorder it in the Terra Cotta color hoping to get the color pictured in Pink...i know, i know..it's very confusing. This I took a chance on hoping that the colors/pictures were switched somehow on-line. I WAS PROVEN RIGHT by this experiment, so now I'm a happy customer 'cuz I got the color I wanted #Terra Cotta is the one with chocolate/dark brown fringe)...NOTE TO CUST. SVC: Pls correct this promptly on your website to avoid future issues with would-be buyers!!! March 15, 2013

Applying for an absentee ballot means the voter has made a choice not to visit the polls, and Doña Ana County Clerk Rita Torres said voters who change their minds will encounter problems if they try to enter a voting booth on Election Day.
Early voting in Doña Ana County is in full swing.
In response to a deluge of more than 6,600 Doña Ana County residents requesting absentee voting privileges through Oct. 22, the county's Bureau of Elections has hired on additional temporary help to process the incoming applications and mail out absentee voting materials.
The following opinion statement is Doña Ana County Manager Fernando Macias' response to the allegations made by Sunland Park Mayor Jesus Segura in a press conference held today in Las Cruces:
Doña Ana County's Information Services Department and the City of Las Cruces have entered into a trial project to make a wide range of the city's public documents accessible through the Internet.
Residents here will take part in festivities Saturday, Oct. 31 to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the village's wastewater hook-up lines, which means more than 350 septic systems will be retired over the next two years as the village begins pumping wastewater to the treatment plant in the City of Las Cruces.
More than 125 of the state's emergency-call dispatchers will be in Las Cruces Thursday and Friday, Oct. 22 and 23, for the annual co-meeting of the state chapters of the Association of Public-safety Communications Officials (APCO) and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA).
Up until 1998, recruits being trained for law enforcement jobs in Doña Ana County had to spend five days at a state-sanctioned obstacle course in Santa Fe at a cost of $75 per person per day, plus transportation.
Voters in Doña Ana County who want to avoid long lines at the polls on Nov. 3 will have the option to vote early, beginning Wednesday, Oct. 14, 1998.
Armed with $75,000 in state funds secured in the last legislative session by Rep. Dolores Wright, Doña Ana County paving crews are gearing up for a major project in Las Alturas Estates.

Content about Peace & Justice
' Compassion' is the most frequently occurring word in the Qur'an. Each of its 114 chapters, with the exception of the 9th, begins with the invocation 'In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful…' yet a great deal of the escalating violence and terrorism that we are living with today can be attributed to Muslims. How can we come to terms with this obvious contradiction?
Father Laurence and the WCCM Community join our brothers and sisters in Thailand in praying that the violent civil unrest in their once peaceful country is resolved soon, and without further loss of life. We know that the meditation practice and the mantra will carry the Thai community through this difficult time, and we invite meditators to share their contemplative response to the situation. Please send comments for posting on the Peace & Justice pages to firstname.lastname@example.com.
From: Na Tasukon email@example.com
Dear Friends,
I thought I would take this example to update you all on what's happening in Thailand.
Firstly, I am fine and safe as I live in a different part of the city, a fair distance from where these clashes are happening. However, the violence is indeed located in the very heart of Bangkok's prime financial and commercial district.
It is strange for someone like me now, having lived nearly my entire life abroad and immersed in international media, always wondering about the violence and devastation I saw on TV in other countries, wondering as to what people were enduring in this or that faraway country. I have seen rocks being thrown in the middle east, explosions in africa and riots in central america. I always said to myself 'how awful'.

The North Atlantic hurricane season runs from mid-August to October, with a strong peak in storm activity around the middle of September. A less familiar but even more destructive pattern of disturbances is the financial hurricane season, which coincides with the meteorological one almost to the day.
Most of the great financial crises of modern history have occurred in the two months from mid-August: the Wall Street crashes of Oct. 22, 1907, Oct. 24, 1929, and Oct. 19, 1987; Britain's abandonment of the gold standard on Sept. 19, 1931; the postwar sterling devaluation on Sept. 19, 1949; the collapse of the Bretton Woods global monetary system on Aug. 15, 1971; the Mexican default that triggered the Third World debt crisis on Aug. 20, 1982; the breakup of the European exchange-rate mechanism on Sept. 16, 1992; the Russian default on Aug. 17, 1998, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers on Sept. 15. 2008 – and this list could go on.
The coincidence between financial and meteorological hurricanes may not be entirely fortuitous. The global economy, like the world's atmosphere, is a finely balanced complex system. In such systems, small perturbations can accumulate to trigger big effects. And just as the meteorological tipping points tend to occur when autumn air circulation starts to disrupt the humid air accumulated in the summer doldrums, something similar seems to happen to financial markets when trading becalmed by the summer holidays returns to normal. The result can be sudden and violent reaction to events accumulated over the summer that markets had seemed to ignore. The world economy does not, of course, experience hurricanes with the same regularity as the Caribbean. But when big events happen over the summer, financial disturbances become quite probable in the fall. This is probably the reason why September has historically been the worst month of the year for stock market performance. In fact, September is the only month in which Wall Street prices have, on average, declined since the 1920s.
The question now is whether the world economy has already adjusted to the potentially disruptive and disappointing economic events of the summer, or whether the summer doldrums in financial trading were merely a calm before the storm.
The testing period begins this week with Thursday's ECB meeting and Friday's U.S. job figures. Further challenges to financial confidence are likely from the German constitutional court verdict on euro bailouts on Wednesday and the Federal Reserve decision on quantitative easing the following day.

European stocks nudged higher after Germany's central bank delivered an upbeat assessment of the country's economic outlook, but moves were muted with Wall Street closed for a public holiday.
The benchmark Stoxx 600 index rose 0.3% Monday to 287.78. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index gained 0.4% to 6180.98—its third consecutive gain and highest close since May 22, 2008. Germany's DAX advanced 0.6% to 7748.86, and France's CAC-40 added 0.6% to 3763.03, its highest close since July 26, 2011.
Financial markets struggled for direction amid light volumes with U.S. stock markets closed to observe Martin Luther King day.
Still, European stocks ended slightly higher, with sentiment underpinned by comments from Germany's central bank.
The Deutsche Bundesbank said the outlook for the domestic economy had improved and that any slowdown experienced by the euro zone's largest economy would be short-lived.
The Bundesbank had earlier slashed its forecast for German growth next year to 0.4% from its June estimate of 1.6%, warning that the nation could sink into recession. Since then, however, the central bank said companies' expectations have improved, particularly with regards to the outlook for exports.
In currency markets, the euro was steady against the dollar despite German Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition losing power in the Lower Saxony state election on Sunday. Those results bode ill for Ms. Merkel's re-election bid this year. The euro was at $1.3315 by the end of European trading from $1.3312 late Friday in New York.

605 Laurens Rd, Greenville, SC | Directions 29607-183534.850511 -82.375563
Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat 9am-4pm
Avoid this place at all times--terrible "service" – I went here once to buy a vacuum cleaner filter. I was alone and this old man working there was the only person in the store. He was very rude to me. He approached me and I thought he was going to attack me. He didn't but I will never go in that store again. I don't see how they stay in business. Two of my co-workers had bad experiences with this store too.
Poor service. – I found the staff to be impatient over the telephone as if I were an intrusion rather than a potential customer.
Let's hope that they do not treat every customer that way!

So tonight i took the plunge and attempted to install OSX leopard, i have two different ISO's burned iDeneb 10.5.5 and Kalyway 10.5.2
I've had no luck with either of them trying multiple times to get the buggers to work - each has at least installed but i can never get it to actually boot into the OS once it installs.
I thought i would have a simpler time as my hardware is kinda ideal for this.
Intel E8400 @ 3ghz
DFI Dark P35 TRS
Sata DVD
80GB Sata WD drive
What are the ideal steps i should be looking at to debug this, i attempted use -x and -s but it was a bit hard trying to look up solutions to the problem on my iPhone
Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

CNYMPH Program Accreditation
Accreditation Process
The Council of Education for Public Health (CEPH) is the independent agency recognized by the US Department of Education to accredit graduate schools of public health and certain public health programs outside of the schools of public health.
CNYMPH Self Study
Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for Accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health. Third party comments will be accepted by the Council on Education for Public Health until October 7, 2013. Comments are to be mailed to: Council on Education for Public Health, 1010 Wayne Ave, Suite 220, Silver Springs, MD 20910.
- Read the CNYMPH Self Study
- Provide Feedback on the CNYMPH Self Study to the program.
CEPH assists schools and programs in evaluating the quality of their instructional, research, and service efforts, and grants accreditation to those schools and programs that meet its published criteria. These schools and programs prepare students for entry into careers in public health.
CEPH's accreditation procedures require that the program undertake a self-evaluation, submit a self-study document and host a team of qualified peer reviewers who validate the self-study during an on-site visit to the campus. The CNYMPH Program currently plans to seek accreditation of its public health program and will undergo the comprehensive self-study process. The entire accreditation process may take up to three years according to the proposed timeline.
Why is Accreditation Important to CNYMPH?
The following benefits, taken in part from the CEPH website, are just some of the many benefits of accreditation:
- For the public, accreditation promotes the health, safety and welfare of society by assuring competent public health professionals.
- For prospective students and their parents, accreditation serves a consumer protection purpose. It provides assurance that the school or program has been evaluated and has met standards established by and with the profession.
- For prospective employers, it provides assurance that the curriculum covers essential skills and knowledge needed for today's jobs.
- For graduates, it promotes professional mobility and enhances employment opportunities in positions that base eligibility upon graduation from an accredited school or program.
- For public health workers, it involves practitioners in the establishment of standards and assures that educational requirements reflect the current training needs of the profession.
- For the profession, it advances the field by promoting standards of practice and advocating rigorous preparation.
- For foundations and other private funding sources, it represents a highly desirable indicator of a program's quality and viability.
- For faculty members and administrators, the accreditation process promotes ongoing self-evaluation and continuous improvement, and provides an effective system for accountability. It also ensures that the Faculty puts into place, and monitors, policies and procedures that enhance teaching and learning, research development and productivity, and community service.
- Accreditation will enhance the national and international reputation of the CNYMPH program.
As the self-study process unfolds there will be numerous opportunities for faculty, staff and students to be involved. At various times faculty, staff, student representatives, and members of the local public health community may be contacted to provide information for the self-study report. We encourage you to take an active interest in the accreditation self-study process, to engage fully in the opportunities for documentation review, and to provide feedback at any time.
For more information about the accreditation process, please contact:

- Dr. Donna Bacchi, Program Director
