College Readiness | News
High school students in Appalachia will get a boost in their college aspirations through a partnership that will include the use of online college preparation resources. Kentucky's Berea College, recently named the "most affordable college" in the nation by Money magazine, is using grant money to work with high schoolers in five counties — Rockcastle, Estill, Jackson, Lee and Madison — in a program that emphasizes academic success, career preparation and a mentality for pursuing college. As part of that program, students will gain access to WIN Career Readiness System, an online career exploration and planning service.
Berea has been a serial recipient of GEAR-UP grants from the United States Department of Education. "Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs" is intended to expand the number of low-income students who are prepared to attend and succeed in college. Berea's Partners for Education program received its first grant in 1999, another in 2005, and a third in 2011. Each grant enables the college to follow and work with a cohort of students from sixth grade to their college freshman year.
In July Partners in Education was invited to send a high school student to Washington, D.C. to participate in a roundtable discussion with other students and First Lady Michelle Obama on "Beating the Odds." 2014 Jackson County High School graduate Julie Jent shared the importance of having a mentor and told the First Lady that she'd be attending Berea in the fall.
"Many of our students come from generational poverty, and they need encouragement and guidance as they aspire to career opportunities after high school and develop a vision for attending a college or university," said Dreama Gentry, executive director of Partners for Education. "We believe that to break this cycle of poverty, each student in rural Eastern Kentucky should engage in a strong academic and workforce preparation program. With the WIN Career Readiness System, we provide students the tools to transform their futures."
Students, teachers and advisors at participating schools will have access to four of WIN Learning's modules:
"We know that employers want high school graduates who can think mathematically, communicate, create, work in teams and solve problems in an entrepreneurial environment," Gentry said. "And those very same skills are needed to succeed in the military, a trade school or an institution of higher learning. We believe that with WIN Learning as a partner, our students will benefit from the robust offerings and be prepared no matter what their postsecondary plans are."

cookieswap (CookieSwap)
|Home Mailing List Installation Source Code User Forum Help Members Bugs Architecture/Design Screenshots
What's New
- 21Jul2007: I finally got around to making an official release with support for multiple browser windows, 'kiwidesign's' new icon and the ability to remove the cookies from all profiles with one click!
- 1Feb2007: Thanks to 'kiwidesign' CookieSwap has a real icon! It's the one at the top of this page. I've reskin-ed the UI to remove the 'CookieSwap' term in the status bar (many people have asked for this) and replacing it with this new icon. I should have that change, as well as making CookieSwap work in all browser windows, offically available sometime soon. If you would like to check it out in beta release, see the installation page.
- 22Jan2007: Michael B. pointed out that CookieSwap does not work when installed with CookieCuller. 0.4.8 fixes the incompatibility, so swaps now work. However, the way that CookieCuller protected cookies are handled on a swap is still being investigated.
- 1Oct2006: I tested CookieSwap under Linux and found an inconsistency in the nsIFile interface that caused CookieSwap to not work correctly on that platform. I added a workaround, so version 0.4.7 works on Linux as well as Windows. I also verified that CookieSwap works with Firefox 2.0.0 and indicated that in the new version.
- 1Sept2006: I finally got around to posting CookieSwap on the Firefox Add-ons page. Lots of people are downloading it. I hope they find it a useful as I have.
- 26Feb2006: I've been busy on a few other projects and I haven't been able to work on CookieSwap. If you have some specific changes you'd like to see please let me know either through the Mailing List or the User Feedback Area
- 31Jan2006: Please feel free to post any comments you have regarding the current release of cookieSwap to the User Forum so I can get a feel for how to best update the extension.
- 17Jan2006: The first public beta release is available.
- 15Jan2006: Sorry for the delay. In beta testing I've found a few bugs and I have all but one fixed. I hope to have a public release this week
- 2Jan2006: I have a few pictures of the Beta release on the Screenshots page (sorry for the large images). Also, I need some people willing to help with Alpha testing...see notes to the left
- 28Dec2005: I basically have it working and expect to have an Alpha release within a few days.
- The User Forum is online...feel free to post comments, suggestions or questions.
- I hope to have an Alpha version ready by 31Dec2005
- 21Dec2005: The bugzilla CookieSwap project is now online.
- 20Dec2005: Mozdev agreed to host CookieSwap!
- mozdev.org
Other Stuff
- Special thanks to 'Add & Edit Cookies' [addneditcookies], without which I never would have figured out how to add cookies to the browser. Also, I liked the page layout on that site so much that I fashioned mine in a similar manner.
Updated: 21Jul2007
Version: 0.5.0
Languages: English
Features: Maintain multiple cookie profiles and switch between them on the fly.
Compatibility: Firefox 1.5 - 2.0 ; Mozilla not tested; Windows, Linux and OS X have been tested
Developer: Steve Tine (Email: SteveTine at yahoo.com)
The first publicly released version of CookieSwap is now available on the
installation page.
Thanks to all the beta testers who helped with the initial beta release. They helped uncover a few bugs that have been fixed (and a few that haven't...check out the release notes on the install page). This release is by no means perfect, but it is working quite well and I wanted to get it out there and get some more feedback to make it even better.
What is it?
CookieSwap is a Firefox/Mozilla extension that enables you to maintain numerous sets or "profiles" of cookies that you can quickly swap between while browsing.
Common uses
CookieSwap allows you to swap all your cookies out of the browser's memory and swap in a new set of cookies. This is useful for tasks like:
- Changing your cookies/identity to web e-mail sites (like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc) so that you can quickly look like different users. Nice if you maintain multiple accounts and are tired of logging out and then back in to switch accounts. Also nice if two people are using the same computer and want to switch between accounts quickly.
- Changing your cookies/identity to see how sites like Amazon and Google treat you differently depending on who you are. For example, if Amazon recognizes you as a returning shopper they give you a different looking page (and there were claims that they give you different prices also). Google has begun to use a feature called "Personalized Search", where they modify their search results based on your user identity. There is a question about this when you create your Google account. The results of Google searches are different depending on if Google knows you or not. Use CookieSwap to quickly swap between Google recognizing you and being anonymous. Run the same search and see the differences.
- If you design web sites, you can setup numerous cookie profiles to look like different types of users and swap between those users quickly and easily to test your site in numerous modes (you can hand edit the cookies to have distinct values in each profile using a nice extension like 'Add & Edit Cookies').
What are cookies?
There are numerous sites out there that do a great job explaining cookies (like Cookie Central), but from my prospective they are just little pieces of information that web sites store on your computer/browser to identify you. Sometimes they are nice (when you tell web sites like Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc to "remember you" so that you don't need to login every time you visit the site) and sometimes they are bad (since they allow web sites to "track" your activities at their sites and other sites). Often, users want to delete cookies (using the cookie manager or a nice extension like 'Add & Edit Cookies') and setup privacy settings for cookies (using another nice extension like 'CookieCuller'). This extension does not try to replace these extensions, but instead it allows you to temporarily change out all your cookies to quickly change your identity to web sites.
The entire story
I created this extension to solve the problem my wife and I were having with our web e-mail accounts. My wife and I use the same computer in our kitchen and we both have web e-mail accounts (Yahoo!, Gmail, etc) and every time I sit down at the computer, my wife is logged-in to her account. I end up logging her out and then I login. She experiences the same thing when she then sits down. We tried a few solutions to allow us to both be logged in to our own web e-mail account at the same time on the same computer. The first thing I tried was to use separate accounts in Windoze to keep us both logged in at the same time. When we sat down at the computer we would switch users and everything was just as we had left it (desktop, bookmarks, open web pages, etc). Perfect, right? Well, I found out that running Windoze in this mode where multiple people can be logged in is not as secure as one might wish. Also, I'm cheap (I admit it) and I don't really have enough RAM on the machine to be able to change users in a timely manner. It ends up taking almost a minute to change users and have the machine fully functional again. Not ideal.
The second thing I tried was to take advantage of the multiple profiles that Firefox supports. A nice feature (separate bookmarks, cookies, etc) except that I never found a way to run multiple instances of Firefox at the same time each running a different profile. To switch profile, you have to close Firefox and start it again with the new profile. This is a bummer because it is common for both of us to have numerous pages open at the same time (in tabs of course!) and we don't want to close them. So, for the past few months I have just dealt with the fact that I need to log my wife out of Gmail and then log me back in. Not a big deal but this screams for a better solution...enter CookieSwap .
Now, when I sit down at the computer, I "swap" all the cookies in the browser over to my cookies and then reload Gmail...BOOM, now I'm logged-in to Gmail. My wife sits down and swaps out my cookies for her cookies and BOOM, now she's logged-in. No need to close any browser windows or suck up needless RAM just because Bill Gates implemented multiple users in such a poor manner. Obviously Linux handles this concept of multiple users running at the same time much cleaner.
I'm not claiming this is the most elegant solution to the problem, but it meets my immediate needs.
Other potential uses?
Please let me know if you think this type of
extension would be useful to you, either in the ways I've explained above or in some other manner that I haven't
considered. Please send ideas to the mailing list or just post in the User Forum...thanks!
Future features under consideration-Maintain cookie privacy settings (set using another nice extension like 'CookieCuller') with each profile so one profile could be ultra paranoid while another profile is wide open to allow all cookies
-Support publishing cookies to a site so that they can be synced across numerous machines used by one user (not sure if this is even a good idea) -Any suggestions?
Enjoy CookieSwap!
-Steven Tine

Fan-tastic Rays Fan Fest
I seriously did not expect to see over 4 ,000 people standing in line outside waiting for the 9a.m. Season Ticket holder opening when I pulled into Lot 6 off of 1st Avenue South in St. Petersburg. I also did not expect that most would be as excited as me to the possibilities of the coming year, and wondering who might sign, or not sign inside today. From the moment they left us in early to be able to a few circles around the field and check out the sights, it was by far the best Fan Fest that the Rays have put on in their short history.
Kudos go out to Mark Fernandez and Brian Killingsworth for the awesome display booth and sights that greeted your eyes when you first walked into the stadium in center field. Some people just love to be able to walk on the Field Turf, but if you have been a Rays fans for years, you know the turf can be a bit hard on your legs after a few hours. The sights that first hit your eyes is the grouping to the left that featured several of the Rays big time sponsors who gave away free items for fans in attendance. There were the free Rays 2009 TV schedule poster by Florida Sports Network ( FSN ) that also featured several members of the Rays Television crew signing for the fans.
A few hours later, former greats like, Wayne Garrett, Gary Peters, Jim Archer, Darold Knowles, and Mark Whiten also came out in support of the MLBPA event. The place was already a buzz with excitement and it was only 10 am. The autograph lines quickly filled up with Table 1 being the place to be today. At one point today, the line stretched out the right field gate and swirled into the tunnel under the stands twice to form a line of about 1,000 fans seeking autographs from the players ib just that first table. The first table got the first bit of bad news at about 12 noon when it was announced that Rookie of the Year winner Evan Longoria would not be signing at the event. Rays pitcher James Shields jumped in and rescued the hour by staying and signing for fans in place of Longoria.
Rumors quickly spread about the missing Longoria from a family emergency to missing the event because of an autograph contract with a company. I do not know the correct answer, but I will give Longoria the benefit of the doubt unless something else hits the fan. During the signings you could see the Cow from Cick-fil-A and Stewie from family guy going around and chatting with kids and fans waiting in line for autographs.
If you left the autograph area and moved down the first baseline, you were met by the Metro PCS table, where from 1-3 pm today, a Rays player could phone someone you knew and chat for a minute or two. I got new Rays Pat Burrell to leave my new voice mail message on my cellphone for my website. But other players like 2008 first round pick Tim Beckham and David Price were over at the tables during the day. If you kept going to the first baseline, you saw that Chevrolet was out giving Rays fans free gifts and presenting the 2009 models close up and personal. Then you would come up on the Baseball America table where you could sign up to win a special prize from them throughout the day and receive the newest copy of the magazine. the MLB Network also had a small table set up giving away more goodies for the fans and giving them an opportunity to check out the new network that started on January 1, 2009.
The Rays Golden Rays club, which caters to its fans 55 and older was stationed right next to them and was taking applications and giving out the 2009 edition of the Golden Rays shirt, which was a striking gold shirt with royal blue lettering. After that it was a smattering of Rays booth featuring the Charlotte Sports Park, where the Rays will be playing their 2009 Spring Training games and hold all training session before the Spring games begin in 2009. On the opposite side were the Clear Channel radio stations lining the fencing for the "Kids Run the Bases" event that is so popular after Sunday's Rays games. Then you would come upon the Rays Radio Network, which had both their Spanish and English radio teams signing for the fans.
Right next to them near the entrance for the Clubhouse tour was WDAE 620, the Sports Animal booth that was broadcasting throughout the Rays Fan Fest event. To their right was the Rays Maddon's Maniac booth that was already taking applications and giving out collectibles for the 2009 season. I am going to write a blog in the coming week on the events and the new procedures for this great Rays booster club. After that you had the Rays season Ticket folks and Raysbaseball.com situated right behind home plate to help you with your seat selection, or to view the website on a laptop set up on the table for you to browse the website.
Then you had two very special groups, the Rays Reviving Baseball in the Inner Cities ( RBI ) program. This is a fantastic program, and the Rays All-Star left fielder Carl Crawford once participating in a Houston area branch of this organization before being drafted by the Rays. Next to them is the Rays Wheelchair Softball team, which is currently ranked 7th in the nation, and is the reigning National Champion in Division II. Then you wander on down to the SABRE table, which asked Rays fans to find Rays players listed in a word search puzzle today for a prize.
Then you come upon one of my favorite Rays collectible displays, the McKenney family Collection. This is a very unique collection because it hold a baseball signed by every coach and player who ever put on a Rays uniform. It is also the pride and joy of Jeff McKenney, who fans at the Trop know affectionately as "The Sign Guy". McKenney also has an amazing banner that he started that he has also gotten almost every Rays player to sign. The banner and the collection are a great look into the history of the Rays, and some date even before the first game in 1998.
To the right of them beyond the left field tunnel was the Rays Season Ticket opportunity where fans got to take their picture with two Rays players at the same time. Players like James Shields, Fernando Perez got things started at noon today and were followed by B J Upton and Matt Garza, Dioner Navarro and Andy Sonnanstine, Jason Bartlett and J P Howell, and Jeff Niemann and Troy Percival closed out the event at 5 pm. But it was the areas lining the left field walls towards center field that had the most action today. That was the location of the kid's game area where speed pitching and hitting rules the day. But if that was too much for you right now, there was a three-story little sluggers zone with wiffle balls, and a few of them even made it over the big white monster wall today. You then would stroll down to the big league batting cages and the wiffle ball home run derby event, where the little one were fed balls from a machine and aimed for the wall that resembled old Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn, New York.
One of the most popular photo opportunities was at either of the Rays enlarged baseball side displays, or the cutout where you could put yourself in the Rays home plate celebration. It has two cut out points to put yourself into the action. All in all the Fan Fest had its ups and downs. The autograph areas were saturated as usual by fans and some did not get to the front before the signing time was over for the players. That has happened in the past, but with the increased attendance today, you had to be in the right place at the right time today to get everyone you wanted. That is one of the sad points of the day. Some players like Carlos Pena did not arrive on time, but he stayed beyond his time and signed for the fans.
All in all, the event was a huge success for the team. Some people grumbled about the autograph lines, and others did not understand that the $ 10 autograph donation for a wristband to stand in line for an autograph was to go to the Rays Baseball Foundation which provides money and scholarships throughout the Tampa Bay area. The group also renovated local Little League fields and donates their time and efforts in Habitat for Humanity and the local homeless shelters in the area. But he crowd was here in force, eating, drinking and enjoying themselves as the filed in and out of the stadium.
Even with all the pressure on the Rays to continue their winning ways, the players and the Rays management teams can grow in confidence by the display of the fans turnout for this event. I have a few suggestions for 2010, but I will leave that for another time. It is time to rejoice and also relax and take in all the positives of the 2009 Fan Fest and show some real deep love to the Rays on this Valentines Day.

It sound like it was an amazing event! Hopefully a lot of money was raised for charity through the sale of wrist bands. I love the idea of recording a message that could be displayed in the scoreboard during the game. I hope you recorded one and I hope it will make it up on the scoreboard for you to see!
FanFest was very good this year, even though with so many people attending and things going on I think they should extend the hours and make it two days. Still, everyone there had at least one great experience (mine were meeting Tim Beckham and talking to Joe Maddon and the Rays broadcasters), and it showed that the team has a new level of support. Let's see them try to top this in 2010.
Amazing entry, glad to see the Rays fans showing up in big numbers. That pepsi wall was quite impressive. Any idea how long it took to build? These Fan Fests's are great about getting you ready to see some baseball…I'm ready, I know you are brotha…D
I have not heard anything officla as to the total number of bands sold yesterday, but a Fan Host, who are the ushers at the stadium told me he sold about 3 boxes of the bands during that day.
If I remember right, they contain about 500 bands in each box, so that would be 1500 bands sold by just him during the event. That $ 15,000 would go a long way to restoring a baseball field, or helping kids at Christmas time by giving them a party, or even going to the Boys and Girls Clubs in the Tampa Bay area.
I did not record one today, but I am going to be in a crowd scene shot last year during one of the teams rally in St Petersburg. It was shot right before the Post season Rally in St. Pete, but is still under production.

I forgot to ask Joanna how long it took to build the display this year. I know that it used to take me about 4 hours and almost 400 cases a few years ago, but I built them myself with no help from my location staff.
The great thing about it is that it is a systematic display that can be planned out to the single case, with sacematics and placements on paper so you can build it fast. It was awesome, and it showed the new beverage picked up bay Pepsi this year….Orange Crush.
I am past ready to see some ball. I was suppose to go down to the complex today, but I was up until 5 am doing this blog and the photo blog and forgot to wake up at 7 to go down there by 10 am. I am heading down Monday to see a few friends and to check out the area.
Rays Renegade
Brenton dude,
I was looking for you there. I wanted to finally meet you, but we probably were right next to each other in line at 1 pm at Metro PCS and did not even know it. It was a great time, but it had a few flaws that I will discuss at another time with a few suggestions.
the best thing is that every year more has been added and upgraded at the same time. The worst thing was seeing saome of those people stand in that first line for hours and not get who they wanted, but the players in that line did stay longer for the fans. Both Scott Kazmir and Carlos Pena stayed beyond 1 hour to try and please the fans.
Worst thing is not everyone will find a great moment, but dwell on the bad ones. I did not get in line once yesterday and will spend my time down at the complex and during the season getting the guys I do not have right now.
But I do have to say that I like Pat Burrell as a player and now as a person after seeing some of the courtesy and manners shown to a few obusive fans towards him. He was so calm and cool, but maybe playing in Philly is entire career gave him peace within himself……….Who knows?

Any fans of the genre here? If you're not familiar, it's a fun, upbeat sound created by sampling and remixing funk music, often pulling in some interesting source material (Japanese funk, '80s movies, etc). Lots of anime featured in videos and album art as well. It's an offshoot of vaporwave, which is interesting in its own right.

About Bill
Everyone keeps calling him a "Low Level" or "Junior" IT Professional. He made over $200k per year. That is not the normal pay range for anything "Low Level" or "Junior". It really looks like either he was grossly overpaid or someone is trying to make him look less important than his salary indicates.
Oddly enough according to the NHTSA's (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)own website the fatality rate of car accidents has dropped off dramatically since popularity of texting took off.
I have practically stopped pirating music. Services like Pandora and Groov Shark fill my need
Same with me. I have subscribed to Pandora for the last two years. Since I got the subscription I haven't downloaded much music at all.
My opinion: Game of Thrones and Deadwood are the best HBO has ever had. Rome was a distant 3rd place.
Deadwood was the shit.
I saw them in the 90's and they did the person cut in to 3 pieces trick 2 times. One time normal and then one time on a clear stage with clear box.
Here is a link to the one I was talking about as well as another one.
I have the T-Mobile MyTouch 4 and it comes with a wireless tethering app pre-installed. There is no charge for wireless tethering, but there does seem to be a charge if you enable a wired tethering link using USB. I don't understand that.
At the NHTSA's own web site they have a chart ranging from 1994-2009. The worst rates in all that time was in 2005 which was before the texting boom started. Heck if you look at the stats the fatality rate has dropped since the time that texting has really taken off.
Cingular bought AT&T wireless in 2004 and it went down hill from there.
TV stations stop broadcasting at 3am every morning
That would be news worthy at 3am in California we get nonstop infomercials. I so wish we just had the end of day snow & tone from long ago. I do not need to "Just set it and forget it!".
Different labor laws there than here in the US. It could have been in response to the employees wanting to be compensated for after hours work. Rather than pay extra just in case someone checks email, they just shut it down.
He even added words to create the point he's trying to emphasize..
He actually dropped an "it".
"Listen, enjoy it, buy it if you like it... and take care until next time."
Netflix keep on raising your rates and losing studios !!!!
Awesome News !!!
Actually by splitting the streaming from the DVD rentals apart they saved me $12. I can Red box the DVD rentals I want and still be under the $12 I'm saving per month. Good luck to your friend and his dieing business model.
Jurors are not to talk about the trial so there is no outside interference. There are 13-14 people in the jury (including alternates) and all the information about the case is supposed to be delivered by the lawyers and only in the courts controlled setting. No one wants Jurors getting there information from TMZ or from gossiping with there friends.
Thanks for that link.
So, basically, if someone trademarks my name, and I then get famous (still holding out for someone in Hollywood to randomly cast me in the next mega movie), I can get sued for this?
Not sure, but if someone trademarks their name that happens to be the same as yours then yes.
The police have been using the dashboard cameras for years to record traffic stops. How is that not illegal wiretapping if us recording them is?
Not really. Since autocomplete is already set to filter sexual terms, they would just need to add these company's to the same type of list. A search would find them but auto complete would have no record of them at all.
Yea, but do you have the NFL network or any of the Season Ticket packages?
I've subscribed to their service for almost 2 years now. Well worth the yearly fee. Too bad they will be pushed out of business by the recording labels.

Chinese Bun
I decided to make several experiments with hair buns. The first experiment is Chinese Bun. I'm sure most of you have already tried this hair style or others like this. But this is the first time I do it, so please don't be too strict to me. I'll try to explain the steps I've done to arrange hair in Chinese Bun:
1. Arrange your hair in a ponytail. You can place the ponytail high or low, this makes no big difference. It's just to your preferences.
2. Put a hairstick horizontally in the root of the tail.
3. The next step is to divide hair into two equal parts. Put each part up, over and behind the hairstick.
4. Wrap the hair parts in opposite directions around the ponytail holder and loop around the hairstick.
5. Add hair pins, scrunchie, or other holders that will secure the bun on top or underneath.

Back in September, I wrestled with two big decisions – whether to stick with Apple's iPhone as my smartphone or switch to an Android device – specifically, Samsung's Galaxy S III – and whether to jump from AT&T to Verizon as my wireless carrier. In the end, for a variety of fairly complex reasons, the iPhone and AT&T won.
Since then, I have heard from a surprising number of people via email and social media who want to know, after reading those entries, if I remain happy with the two decisions. For the most part, the answer is yes – with a couple of caveats.
Most of the folks asking about this are people who face the same dilemma – they're interested in switching hardware platforms and/or carriers. Usually it's Apple –> Android and AT&T –> Verizon, but I'm also hearing from people who are moving in the opposite direction. To paraphrase Jerry Lee Lewis, there's a whole lotta switchin' goin' on.
With that in mind, here are some notes about my experiences with the iPhone 5 and AT&T's LTE data network, almost two months after I started using them.
The hardware
As a veteran iPhone user, I'm comfortably happy with Apple's latest iteration of the device, for the most part. Each time I pick it up – even in the minimalist Rocketfish clear case that swaddles it – I'm amazed at how light and thin it is. I still like the elegant look of the white model, though after my wife bought a black one, I almost wish I'd gone with that one. It has an almost sinister look to it . . .
Apple elongated the screen without increasing the width, and this was one of the big reasons why I wanted to stick with the iPhone. While my eyes loved the screen real estate of the 4.8-inch Galaxy S III, my hands did not. I tend to work a smartphone with one hand with my thumb, but I can't reach the far corners of the S III's screen one-handed.
That said, the size of the iPhone 5's screen remains a disappointment when it comes to watching video, or any other task that would benefit from a bigger display. I know the laws of physics and biology are at work here, but I really want a bigger iPhone screen that a solo thumb can navigate. Sigh.
One of the other aspects that called to me about Android was the ability to drop widgets onto the home screen that let you control features of the phone that are hidden behind menus in iOS. While Apple has not yet allowed this, I found that another feature of the iPhone 5 helps mitigate this issue: Its speed.
The iPhone 5 is very, very fast, and so diving into its Settings to turn things on and off is not as much of an irritant as on previous phones. While I still wish I could have widgets out front to control WiFi, Bluetooth and other power-sucking features, I'm not as annoyed about this as I used to be.
The battery life on the iPhone continues to be very, very impressive. I often end my day with well over 50 percent of battery life remaining. Its stamina is as good or better than most other phones I've tried so far.
Finally, there's Apple's decision to switch to a new type of connect, dropping the 30-pin connection that's been around for years for a smarter, smaller, 8-pin plug it calls Lightning. This has resulted in some extra expense, but not much. I've purchased a total of four USB-to-Lightning cables for $19 each, which are usable with any USB-based charger. I have a bunch of those already around, including one for my car, so it's been relatively painless. And I love the fact that the Lightning connector doesn't have to be inserted just one way – you just grab it and plug it in. This is much better than the mini-USB connection, which only fits one way.
So far, my regrets are minor and few. Yes, I'm happy with the decision to stick with the iPhone.
The carrier
I am surprised at how happy I have been with AT&T – at least in terms of data connections. While AT&T's LTE network isn't available in as many markets across the U.S. as Verizon's, it's got great coverage in Houston, and it remains remarkably fast.
I recently took a trip with my family to see my daughter, who's attending the University of Missouri in Columbia. That 14-hour drive takes us through rural and urban areas in Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. I was surprised at the places where I could find an LTE connection, and when wasn't present, I had AT&T's HSPA+ network. While I've derided the latter as "Faux G" because of poor performance I'd seen on early review phones, it does admirably on my iPhone 5.
LTE tests in Houston give me at least 10 megabits per second download speeds with very low latency – but typically it's much faster. I'm no longer surprised to get speeds of 30 Mbps or better. When the phone drops back to HSPA+, speeds are typically around 5-7 Mbps, which is acceptable.
That said, I have occasionally had instances where AT&T's LTE bogs down or becomes sluggish. This happens rarely and briefly, and far less than when I was stuck on AT&T 3G. There's no way to tell just what causes this, but it's not been bad enough to be classified as a reason for concern. Let's hope it stays that way.
Finally, I also have not run into issues with chewing through huge amounts of data because I have LTE. I do watch a lot of video on the phone, usually through Netflix, and I've got that service set to deliver the lowest-quality video available, which is about 300 MB of data in an hour. This level looks fine on the iPhone 5, particularly as I'm bouncing up and down on the elliptical at the gym, where I usually watch video on the phone. AT&T throttles unlimited LTE users at 5 GB, and so far I've come nowhere close to that limit.
I'm very happy with AT&T as an LTE provider. No regrets.
Update: One aspect of using AT&T I neglected to mention: voice calls.
While I don't make a lot of them, I'm finding that having a new phone doesn't solve the problem of dropped calls. For me, calls typically drop in the same location. One bad area: just east of Waugh Drive on Memorial. Another is the area around (and inside) the Chronicle's parking garage at Prairie and Milam. And drops are a frequent occurrence anywhere around downtown Houston during rush hours, when the streets fill with motorists talking on their cell phones.
In other words, there's no change on that front . . . though I dearly wish there was.

(AP) Five former Virginia attorneys general won't be allowed to file court papers arguing that public corruption charges against ex-Gov. Bob McDonnell should be dismissed.
U.S. District Judge James Spencer said in a one-page order Monday that he declines to exercise his discretion to accept the friend-of-the-court brief. He did not give any other reason.
Spencer previously rejected a similar request by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
The former Republican governor and his wife, Maureen, are charged in a 14-count indictment with accepting more than $165,000 from the former CEO of a dietary supplements company in exchange for helping promote his products.
The former attorneys general — three Democrats and two Republicans — said in their proposed brief that federal prosecutors are stretching the law's definition of bribery.

Looking at Lawyers
While once walking with a guest, the rav of the Latvian community of Dvinsk, Rav Meir Simcha Hacohen, was asked who owned a magnificent mansion they had just passed.
The reply was that he was the most expert lawyer in the country.
"Are you not the greatest expert in your profession?" asked the guest. "Why is it that you don't own such a beautiful home?"
The rav, who was considered one of the great Torah scholars of his generation, modestly replied:
"It is the conflicts among Jews which supply the income for lawyers while my livelihood depends on their good deeds. We all know which there are more of!"
The Chafetz Chaim once wished to offer a blessing for a lawyer who was very helpful to the Jewish community. This is what he told him:
"I cannot bless you to win every case, for justice may be on the side of the party you do not represent. I will therefore bless you that every party that is indeed in the right should hire you as his lawyer."

Kim Kardashian has shared her top tips for losing weight, advising people to "get a work out buddy".
The reality TV star has enlisted her sister Kourtney to encourage her with her weight loss.
The pair work out together as they both over-indulged over the Thanksgiving period.
"The best way to get motivated is to find a friend to workout with you," Kim revealed on her blog. "Kourtney is my workout buddy right now. Ask a friend or relative if they want to work out together."
The style icon gave her fans other motivational secrets to help kick start a post Thanksgiving diet. The clothes designer and trendsetter confessed that nothing gets her focused on a weight loss plan quite like a shopping spree.
"There are tons of deals in stores and online so treat yourself to a new workout outfit or some new sneakers that will get you motivated to hit the gym," she said.
The curvy star finds the turkey dinner leftovers irresistible like everyone else. Kim firmly told her fans to stay well clear of tempting treats if they want to see some results.
"As delicious as they are, Thanksgiving is over," Kim ranted. "You don't need to eat those leftovers! Don't beat yourself up, but stay focused, we all gain a few pounds here or there during the holidays, and that's fine. But get back into your regular lifestyle and focus on eating healthier and limiting your 'treats'… after all, Christmas is just around the corner."
Her final insight into losing the pounds is to increase water consumption, which she says is the key to stopping bloating.
"Drink more water," Kim finished."You'd be surprised the difference drinking more water can make to your weightloss mission and workouts. Most of us don't drink enough, and you've probably been avoiding water these last few days and treating yourself to sodas, alcohol and yummy holiday drinks. 2.2 litres (about 9 cups) per day of water is what you should be drinking, so strive for that."

Independent Study Commissioned by Level 3 Reveals Confidence Lacking in Network Security as Infrastructure Demands Continue to Increase
Broomfield, CO — Network security issues, vital infrastructure upgrades, Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation and impending federal deadlines will guide priorities this year, according to an independent research study of 100 healthcare provider CIOs and senior IT executives commissioned by Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT). At the same time, healthcare CIOs and IT executives are less inclined to focus on mobile-enabled healthcare (mHealth) and slow to adopt cloud computing based on survey responses.
Research highlights and IT challenges for 2013 include:
—56 percent were only "somewhat confident" in their ability to prevent a privacy or security breach on their network
—76 percent of respondents are planning to upgrade their network infrastructure in the next two years
—24 percent reported they are using cloud-based computing, much lower than other industries
—Only 17 percent believe mHealth will have a significant impact on the healthcare industry
—80 percent agree that EHR-based systems will improve patient care
—More than 60 percent of respondents suggest EHR and Meaningful Use mandates are a "good idea" to support better quality patient care
Confidence in Security Lacking
The research study found that many healthcare organizations might not be prepared to deal with the scale of the security challenges headed their way, as more and more critical patient information is digitized. (Reference Exhibits 1 & 2.)
While 80 percent reported their organization had not experienced a security breach in the past 12 months, more than half (56 percent) of those respondents were only "somewhat confident" in their ability to prevent a security breach on their network. This indicates a strong lack of confidence for an industry that experiences a significant number of security breaches each year. In fact, a 2012 survey of 80 healthcare organizations from the Ponemon Institute found that 94 percent of the organizations had a least one data breach in the past two years, at an average cost of $2.4 million per data breach.
Security concerns are also a critical component of EHR implementations. Seventy-seven percent of respondents cited security breaches as either a major or moderate EHR implementation issue. The second top-rated concern with EHRs is patient safety, followed third by privacy issues. Security breaches and patients' privacy issues were slightly more likely to be of "major concern" among large organizations, due to the sheer volume of patient information at risk. Lower on the list of EHR implementation concerns was penalty costs – 35 percent said security and compliance-related penalties were of little to no concern. (Reference Exhibit 3.)
"Patient privacy and the security of health records are weighing on the minds of healthcare CIOs," said Karl Strohmeyer, Level 3 group vice president. "The 'Future of Healthcare IT' study reinforces that there is no room to take chances when patients' privacy is at risk – ensuring the confidentiality of patient data should be a top priority. As more and more healthcare-related information is digitized and shared remotely, the need for secure networks and services to protect this data will continue to grow."
Slow to Adopt Cloud Computing
Although many respondents recognized that cloud computing can offer cost-savings and capacity benefits, just 24 percent reported they are using cloud-based computing, which is a relatively low uptake compared to other industries.
Little Traction For mHealth
An even smaller percentage – 17 percent – believes mobile-enabled healthcare will have a significant impact on the healthcare industry, suggesting the healthcare IT industry may not yet be fully primed for a widespread move to mHealth technology and applications.
Telehealth Care Still Growing Trend
The survey results showed that telehealth is a growing trend, with two-thirds (67 percent) of organizations indicating that they currently have telehealth capabilities. The driving factor behind telehealth is patient care. Respondents believe these capabilities will offer both providers and patients better access to EHRs and, as a result, improve patient care. (Reference Exhibit 4.)
Additionally, more than one-third (37 percent) of respondents believe interconnectivity of healthcare facilities will have the greatest impact on the healthcare industry, and another one-quarter (27 percent) believes EHRs themselves will have the greatest impact.
Constant Infrastructure Upgrades In the Works
The study also showed that network infrastructure demands will continue to grow as healthcare organizations try to prepare for increased interconnectivity of healthcare facilities, security demands and other healthcare-related technology advancements. More than three-quarters (76 percent) of respondents are planning to upgrade their network infrastructure in the next two years driven by implementation of EHRs, interconnectivity between providers and facilities, and medical imaging demands. (Reference Exhibit 5.)
"The expansion of network infrastructure that we anticipate will allow healthcare organizations to store massive amounts of patient information securely," said Strohmeyer. "Providers can access digitized information from any location in real time, ultimately resulting in substantial efficiencies in patient care. Interconnectivity and network security are essential to meeting the growing demands of the digital healthcare world."
"EHR Deadline is Feasible"
The research also revealed that, despite feeling pressure to implement EHRs to meet new federal regulations under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), most healthcare CIOs and senior executives support the efforts and believe ACA timeframes are feasible. More than 60 percent of respondents suggest EHR and Meaningful Use mandates are a "good idea" – due primarily to the fact that EHRs are expected to support better quality patient care with increased access to medical records and information by providers. In addition, 79 percent believe the 2015 EHR deadline is feasible.
Study Methodology & Demographics
Level 3 commissioned Corona Insights to conduct the "Future of Healthcare IT" study in November 2012. The 100-person respondent base was comprised of CIOs and other c-level and senior IT executives who are employed by hospitals, medical centers and physicians' offices. The size of the organizations managed by these CIOs and executives range in revenues from $10 million to $1 billion.

According the 2001 Statistics Canada federal census, there were 878,866 people living within the City of Calgary proper. Of this population, 49.9 per cent were male and 50.1 per cent were female. Children under five accounted for approximately 6.0 per cent of the resident population of Calgary. This compares with 6.2 per cent in Alberta, and almost 5.6 per cent for Canada overall.
In 2001, 9.0 per cent of the resident population in Calgary were of retirement age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2 per cent in Canada; therefore, the average age in Calgary is 34.9 years of age compared with 37.6 years of age for all of Canada.
Between 1996 and 2001, Calgary's population grew by 15.8 percent. During the same time period, the population of Alberta increased by 10.3 percent. The population density of Calgary averaged 1,252.3 persons per square kilometre (3,243/sq mi), compared with an average of 4.6 persons per square kilometre (11.9/sq mi) for the province.
A city-administered census estimate, conducted annually to assist in negotiating financial agreements with the provincial and federal governments, showed a population of just over 991,000 in 2006. The population of the Calgary Census Metropolitan Area was just over 1.1 million, and the Calgary Economic Region posted a population of just under 1.17 million in 2006. On July 25, 2006 the municipal government officially acknowledged the birth of the city's one millionth resident, with the census indicating that the population is rising by approximately 98 people per day. This date was arrived at only by means of assumption and statistical approximation and only took into account children born to Calgarian parents. A net migration of 25,794 persons/year was recorded in 2006, a significant increase from 12,117 in 2005.
Calgary is the main city of Census Division No. 6 and the Calgary Regional Partnership.
Visible minority groups
A majority of Calgarians declare themselves to be of European ancestry. This group comprises 79% of the population (688,465 people). Another 2.3% (19,765 people) of the population is Aboriginal. In addition, the city is home to a relatively large number of people belonging to visible minority groups. These groups include Chinese: 51,540 or 5.9%, South Asian: 37,370 or 4.2%,Filipino: 16,245 or 1.9%, Black Canadian: 13,370 or 1.5%, Latin American: 8,525 or 1.0%, and many others.Based on single responses. Statistics are from the 2001 Statistics Canada census.

Who Wrote, "When He Fell, Liberty Wept"?
While vetting a manuscript this month, I came across another questionable quotation. I think it first appeared in Thomas J. Fleming's Now We Are Enemies (also published as The Battle of Bunker Hill) and Liberty!, and can be viewed in this essay by Kenneth C. Davis:
Abigail Adams mournfully wrote to husband John: "Not all the havoc and devastation they have made has wounded me like the death of [Dr. Joseph] Warren. We want him in the Senate; we want him in his profession; we want him in the field. We mourn for the citizen, the senator, the physician, and the warrior. When he fell, liberty wept."But here's the letter from Abigail Adams in which the start of that quotation appears, and it doesn't include that last sentence about liberty weeping. Instead, the passage reads (in Adams's original spellings):
Not all the havock and devastation they have made, has wounded me like the death of Warren. We wanted him in the Senate, we want him in his profession, we want him in the field. We mourn for the citizen, the senator, the physician and the Warriour. May we have others raised up in his room.The regularized spellings and punctuation are our clue that the first quotation derives from a book that used the 1840 transcription of Adams's letters, edited by her grandson to look more grammatically and punctually correct, rather than the recent Adams Papers editions.
So what happened? A little Google Booking pinpoints the problem exactly. On page 521 of his Life and Times of Joseph Warren, published in 1865, Richard Frothingham strung together a series of laments about Warren's death. This is what that page looked like.
As you see, Frothingham didn't separate each quotation with quote marks. Instead, he had one pair of marks around the whole bunch, and a superscript footnote number after each. There's a number 4 at the end of Abigail Adams's actual words. And there's a separate number 5 for the sentence "When he fell, liberty wept" and what follows, attributing them to a manuscript by S. A. Wells.
Who was Wells? He was Samuel Adams's grandson, born in 1787 and dying in 1840. His "Biographical Sketch of General Joseph Warren" was published posthumously in 1857, attributed to "A Bostonian." Frothingham might have been quoting from the manuscript Wells had created about his grandfather, which William A. Wells completed and published in 1865.

UPS dropped off a little present today from Front Panel Express…
On the top panel I made all the mounting holes blind holes on the reverse, except for the transformers – I wanted as clean a look as possible. The recessed cavities under the transformer locations are for grommets, and the ones on the three tube sockets are for clearance.
The power switch will go on the front. Again, as clean and simple as possible.
For the back panel I recessed the speaker binding posts for a good fit. The RCA nuts can barely be threaded on – next time I'll recess those a bit as well.
I mounted all the components on the top panel to make sure everything fit – thankfully, everything did. The blue choke and capacitor I'll paint black to match the other transformers. The top and front switch panel will be polished to a mirror finish. The back panel I'll leave as-is.
The four holes in the top panel by the driver tubes are for access to the adjustment pots on the board. These will be covered with nickel plated hole plugs.

Gavaskar and Sehwag
Gavaskar and Sehwag
Taufiq Umar and Gautam Gambhir please
As tempted as I am to get in a batsman like Sehwag who is capable of taking the game away from the opposition (or at times India), he can be too much of a liability in oversees conditions against quality attacks. Anwar was much better in that regard.
Anwar and Sunny
I suppose we can move on now. What should we have as the next category? Number 3 or Fast bowlers? I would say fast bowlers, to be sure of Imran's role.
you will then first have to define how you are picking the side?
Do you want to go with 3 fast bowlers , one spinner, and one all rounder?
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
1. Sunil Gavaskar.
2. Saeed Anwar.
I think Viru is a slightly better opener but would prefer a left-right combo at the top. So went with Anwar.
should go numerically at 6 you can give the option of a batsman or an all rounder and people can choose according to their preference.
no, the all rounder needs to come in at 7, or we can have 2 all rounders. A SC 11 needs all the batting it can muster
Can't we have both Imran and Kapil in the team?
We can have Imran at six, wicket-keeper at seven with Kapil at eighth.
Having Imran at 6 really depletes the batting.
It means that against another top class ATXI the pure batsmen are only up till number 5
Let's just go ahead with the number 3 for now, and we will see about the rest later.
Pick ONE out of the following, or nominate your own.
Rahul Dravid
Younis Khan
Mohindar Amarnath
Dilip Vengsarkar
Saeed Ahmed
Zaheer Abbas
Vijay manjrekar
Ijaz Ahmed
VVS Laxman
Ajit Wadekar

Signing to Nashville's Essential Records, the group debuted in 1998 with Take Me As I Am. This album quickly pushed FFH into the limelight, earning the band two No. 1 hits, four Dove Award nominations, and Christian Research Report's Best New Artist of 1999. Found a Place, a stunning follow-up, was issued in spring 2000.

Aybar, Madson, Jepsen head to extended spring camp
ANAHEIM -- After an impressive workout prior to Wednesday's game, shortstop Erick Aybar's return to the Angels' lineup appears to be coming sooner rather than later.
"With the workout he had today, he really jumped up and got a lot closer to where he needs to be to play with us," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We'll see how he feels in the morning. Hopefully get out there and play some defense tomorrow in a game."
Aybar won't be playing in a game for the Angels on Thursday, but he will be on the field in Arizona for extended spring training, a more controlled environment for him to test his bruised left heel.
"I think the test is the mobility at shortstop, the prep step, getting into all the things it takes to play a baseball game, then rebounding from that and feeling good the next day," Scioscia said.
While Aybar will likely be the next Angels player to be activated from the disabled list, relievers Kevin Jepsen and Ryan Madson will be joining him in Arizona. Jepsen (strained lat) and Madson (April 2012 Tommy John surgery) are still a ways away from getting back on the mound in a big league game, but the Angels feel their relievers will make more progress in Arizona than if they were to travel to Seattle and Oakland.
"We have so many guys that our [trainers] are trying to handle right now, not only on the DL, but guys that are playing banged up," Scioscia said. "They are going to be able to get much further ahead in a climate like Arizona and getting the one-on-one attention they really need."
Jepsen and Madson are both expected to be back in Anaheim for treatment when the team returns for a series against Baltimore on May 2.
Aside from the treatment in Arizona, the next steps for Jepsen and Madson are still up in the air. Jepsen has yet to throw a baseball since he was placed on the DL and doesn't expect to until next week. Madson was supposed to throw his second simulated game during the current home stand, but never did and does not have one scheduled.

PMGI necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 70 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
Committed to a Cure
Committed to a Cure is a non-profit helping women with breast cancer.
We need a logo to go with the three working taglines below:
1) Taking steps to insure a healthy future
2) Leading the path to a cure.
or 3) Leave your footprint on the path to a cure.
Our goal is to have 1 million footprints in Washington DC… you can have a personalized footprint with your name on it, showing your support.
Let the Government know that more needs to be done in the fight against breast cancer… Purchase this "footprint" postcard and we will send it personalized with your name on it to the department of health and human services.
DESIGNERS: Goal is to create a logo utilizing pink footprints and potentially a path. Logo should reproduce well in many sizes and monochrome as well as color. Pink is the theme. (Think pink ribbon, but no ribbons) Also the footprint in the logo will be used to make large footprints we will use in a diecut form to stick on ground at several events leading to the steps of Washington.
Design should appeal to women 30-65, who have had or have family dealing with this devastating disease. They are passionate, committed to helping find a cure and strong minded. Design should be fun but to frilly, and evoke a feeling of helping, taking the right steps, and advancing research and care.
Looking for a treatment on the name - Committed to a Cure
With one of three tag lines above. And a logo that really pulls it all together. Pink is required, but open to shades and styles.
This is a non-profit that helps people but we are NOT design talented so your help is greatly appreciated.
Files should be provided with original source, PSD, GIF and JPG, plus a full monochrome version as well.
Feedback given freely and any questions answered. Designs we cannot use (due to die cut requirements - must be all one piece for footprint) will be eliminated so as not to waste a designers time. We value what you guys do and respect your creativity. Open to suggestions on variations of tag line and logo concept.
Mail us ANY thoughts or questions.
