Does such a system exists in the wild? My feeling was that complete

Not in this domain, I have seen cases where people define rather complex
inclusion/inheritance mechanisms that are very tough to validate with
current tools.
I am currently working on one of these use cases for a customer.
Although I can't share the details without their agreement, you can
think of it as technically relatively similar to XSLT, W3C XML Xchema or
RELAX NG import, include and redefine mechanism.
To make it still worth, in this specific case the links to the included
documents are not made through URIs but through logical ids.
Depending on the type of document and component, a component may
completely or partially override the components with the same name found
in the included components.
A complete validation involves not only validating the different links
but also validating that the resulting model is conform to a schema.
Is this type of system in the scope of DSDL part 6?
In that case, use cases could include consolidated validation of W3C XML
Schema, XSLT and RELAX NG documents. By consolidated I mean validating
the include/import/redefine chain and its result as opposed as
validating each document individually.
I could also ask to this customer what they would be willing to share of
their application.

Hadrhune was an ambitious elven[2] shade who served as the right hand of High Prince Telamont Tanthul, ruler of Thultanthar.[citation needed]
Hadrhune fought his way through the ranks of his peers, proving himself to be a capable manipulator as well as a determined and talented mage. With his skills (and the elimination of his rivals), he soon became Telamont's top agent and personal emissary. Using divination spells, he became probably the most knowledgeable shade in the entire city on matters of the world outside of Anauroch, taking particular interest in the realm of Thay and the dungeon of Undermountain. Using resources diverted from the city, his agents scour the ruins he takes interest in, looking for lost Netherese magic. It was also he who suggested the destruction of any settlements near the enclave, seeing that modern-day adventurers could pose a serious threat to his peoples' plans of world domination.[3]
In 1375 DR, Hadrhune plotted with the leader of a hive of hated phaerimm to obtain a set of the Nether Scrolls. In exchange for their aid, he taught them the secrets of the Shadow Weave. The Scrolls were in the form of a tree, the Quess'Ar'Teranthvar, and required a complex ritual to return them to their proper form. However, a group of heroes were following the trail of the Quess'Ar'Teranthvar and had procured a way to destroy it before the Scrolls could be obtained. In doing so, Hadrhune flew to the site of the ritual atop his shadow dragon Delethyrsos to take his revenge, but didn't realize that the tree negated the dead-magic zone in the Weave. Thinking himself superior due to his use of the Shadow Weave, he rushed into combat and was slain[4]. Hadrhune was alive and well at the onset of the Second Sundering[5], implying that he had been resurrected in the meantime, but was dead again in 1487 DR - this time his resurrection had been prohibited by his master Telamont.
Personality and goalsEdit
Evil through and through, Hadrhune was cold and calculating. He often used scrying to realize his goals and had no qualms about spying on his allies, using bribes and personally crafting magic items either. He was ambitious as well, planning on obtaining for himself a position of governor of Thay or the north and then using the magic of the Red Wizards or Halaster to cement his power in the hierarchy.[citation needed]
Although he was still young for a shade, he fully intended to pursue lichdom when his body began to fail him.[3]
Equipment Edit
Hadrhune's characteristic magic item was his dark staff, which he used to punish incompetent minions and fend off attacks from envious princes. Although he was very quiet and reserved in his manner, when agitated he would grind his thumbnail against the handle of the staff, which had worn a groove in it. The staff sometimes "leaked" harmless black energy from this point. His personal sigil was a winged serpent, silver on a black field; within the serpent's coils is a gray stone tower.[citation needed]

The Process for Buying Foreclosed Homes
The process for buying foreclosed homes depends on what stage of foreclosure the home is in. If you are buying homes that have already been foreclosed, you will probably need to go through a real estate agent to buy the home. If the property is still in the process of foreclosure, you can either wait for it to go up for auction or try to work with the owner to buy the property.
Buying Homes that Have Already Been Foreclosed
To buy homes that are already foreclosed, you first need to know how to locate the properties. Most foreclosed homes will show up when you search for property listing at online websites such as Realtor.com. You can also search for foreclosed properties through Free Foreclosure Database or look for homes through the HUD website. Another way to find listings of foreclosed homes is by visiting the websites of banks and mortgage lenders and looking for listings on them. For example, if you're looking for Bank of America foreclosures, you should check the Bank of America website.
Once you have found a listing for a foreclosed home that you are interested in, you can call the real estate agent whose information appears on the listing and get more information. The real estate agent can arrange for you to look at the property and should be able to tell you which lenders and mortgage brokers in the area are easiest to work with if you need to obtain financing.
Buying Homes at Foreclosure Auctions
Before a lender can sell a foreclosure property at auction, a notice usually must be published in a local newspaper. This notice contains the address or legal description of the property, along with information about how much money is owed on it. If you want to purchase foreclosed properties at auction, you need to find out which paper publishes these notices and get a subscription.
When you purchase a home at auction, you are buying it "as is," so get as much information as you can in advance. You usually can't get inside of the house to inspect it, but you can do a drive-by and take note of any obvious damage or vandalism. You may be able to get additional information from the neighbors.
Once you have seen the outside of the house and are convinced that it may have potential, take a trip to the county building to the office that keeps property records. The name of the office varies from state to state, but property records are public information in all states. You just have to find out where they are kept. Check to see if there are any other liens on the property besides the one that is being foreclosed. This is very important information.
Liens on foreclosed homes have "priority" in the order that they are filed in most cases. So the mortgage filed first has priority over a second mortgage and so on. If the lien that is being foreclosed is a junior lien such as a 2nd mortgage, keep in mind that the first mortgage and other other liens senior to the one being foreclosed will have to be paid off by the person buying the home at auction. You must take into consideration the amount owed on these senior liens when making your bid since you will have to pay them if you win.
You will have to make a cash deposit at the auction if you win, and the balance will need to be paid shortly afterward. Make sure you check the laws for foreclosure auctions in your state so that you are prepared. You need to know how much cash you will need to take to the auction and how much time you will have to pay the rest once the auction is over.
Buying Pre-Foreclosure Homes
The process for buying pre-foreclosure real estate is much different. Pre-foreclosures are harder to find than foreclosures. Information about owners who have fallen behind on their payments but are not yet in foreclosure is not public record, so you have to get them to find you. You do this by advertising. Some common methods used by real estate investors to locate pre-foreclosure homes are yard signs, billboards and newspaper ads.
Once you have found a pre-foreclosure, you can try to negotiate a good price with the owner. If the price you are willing to pay is lower than the amount owed on the home, it may be possible to do a short sale. What that means is that you work with the lender to get them to agree to release the mortgage even though the amount they received was less than what was owed. Short sales involve a lot of time and paperwork and some banks can be very difficult to deal with, but it is sometimes possible to get a great deal on a house by doing a short sale.

William Adams Delano
William Adams Delano (January 21, 1874 – January 12, 1960), an American architect, was a partner with Chester Holmes Aldrich in the firm of Delano & Aldrich. The firm worked in the Beaux-Arts tradition for elite clients in New York City, Long Island and elsewhere, building townhouses, country houses, clubs, banks and buildings for colleges and private schools. Moving on from the classical and baroque Beaux-Arts repertory, they often designed in the neo-Georgian and neo-Federal styles, and many of their buildings were clad in brick with limestone or white marble trim, a combination which came to be their trademark.

Early life and educationEdit
William Delano was born in New York City, a member of the prominent Delano family of Massachusetts. He was the cousin of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was the nephew of John Crosby Brown, who headed the Brown Brothers & Company banking/trading group, and his father Eugene Delano (1843 – 1920), an 1866 graduate of Williams College, was a partner in the firm. His mother, Sarah Magoun Adams, was the daughter of William Adams, [1] a noted clergyman and academic and a founder as well as a president of Union Theological Seminary, and Martha Bradshaw Magoun, the daughter of Thatcher Magoun (associated with the Thatcher Magoun clipper and 60 State Street) and Mary Bradshaw.
William Delano was educated at the Lawrenceville School and Yale University, where he served on the editorial board of campus humor magazine The Yale Record[2] and was a member of Scroll and Key, and Columbia University's school of architecture. He also studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, receiving a diploma in 1903.
He met his longstanding partner Chester Holmes Aldrich when they worked together at the office of Carrère and Hastings in the years before the turn of the 20th century. They formed their partnership after Delano's return from Europe in 1903 and almost immediately won commissions from the Rockefeller family, among others. Delano & Aldrich tended to adapt conservative Georgian and Federal architectural styles for their townhouses, churches, schools, and a spate of social clubs for the Astors, Vanderbilts, and the Whitneys. Separately (Delano was the more prolific) and in tandem they designed a number of buildings at Yale.[3] Delano taught at Columbia University from 1903 to 1910.
Delano alone won the commission for the second-largest residence in the United States, Oheka, overlooking Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, New York for financier Otto Kahn. Built from 1914 to 1919 in French chateau style, with gardens by Olmsted Brothers, Oheka ranges over 109,000 square feet (10,000 m²) and was staffed with 125 people.
In 1922, Delano designed the interiors of the Grand Central Art Galleries, an artists' cooperative established that year by John Singer Sargent, Edmund Greacen, Walter Leighton Clark, and others.[4] Eight years later Delano and Chester Holmes Aldrich were asked by the organization to design the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.[5] The purchase of the land, design, and construction was paid for by the Galleries and personally supervised by Clark. As he wrote in the 1934 catalog:
Pursuing our purpose of putting American art prominently before the world, the directors a few years ago appropriated the sum of $25,000 for the erection of an exhibition building in Venice on the grounds of the International Biennial. Messrs. Delano and Aldrich generously donated the plans for this building which is constructed of Istrian marble and pink brick and more than holds its own with the twenty-five other buildings in the Park owned by the various European governments.[6]
The pavilion, owned and operated by the Galleries, opened on May 4, 1930.[5] It was sold to the Museum of Modern Art in 1954 and later to the Guggenheim Museum.[7]
Delano's irreverent sense of humor was subtly expressed in some his architectural details and friezes, such as the low-relief frieze of tortoises and hares in the apartment block at 1040 Park Avenue, and backgammon club rooms ornamented like backgammon boards. At the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport, built for Pan American Airways' transatlantic seaplane service in 1939 and the oldest such passenger air facility still in use, his Art Deco terra cotta friezes feature flying fish. "There is as much that is new to be said in architecture today by a man of imagination who employs traditional motifs as there is in literature by an author, who, to express his thought, still employs the English language," Delano wrote in 1928.
In Washington, D.C., Delano was the architect for the 1927 renovation to the White House, which later led to structural problems and rebuilding during the Truman Administration. (See White House Reconstruction.) He served on the National Capital Planning Commission and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts from 1924 to 1928, including a term as vice chairman in 1928. This service led to his firm receiving the design contract for the New Post Office building, completed in 1934, in the Federal Triangle complex. Delano served on the board of design for the 1939 New York World's Fair and consulted on the controversial White House Truman Balcony in 1946, prior to the reconstruction project of 1949-52.
Delano's many awards and honors include election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1940. In 1948, Delano was commissioned to design the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial (1948 – 1956), one of fourteen World War II monuments constructed abroad by the American Battle Monuments Commission. Delano also designed terminals at La Guardia and Miami airports.
He was named an officer by the French Legion of Honour and was an academician of the National Academy of Design.[8] In 1953, the American Institute of Architects awarded William Adams Delano its Gold Medal.
Delano continued to practice almost until his death in 1960, aged 85, in New York City. Aldrich had left the partnership in 1935 to become the resident director of the American Academy at Rome, where he died in 1940.
Marriage and descendantsEdit
Delano married Louisa Millicent Potter (Sheffield) on May 23, 1907.[9] His son, William Richard Potter Delano, was born on July 31, 1909.[9] His son married Dorothea Frances Lehmann in October 1939.[10]
The Delano and Aldrich archive is held by the Drawings and Archives Department in the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University. Some historical records of Delano & Aldrich's work on the Wall Street headquarters of Brown Brothers Harriman are included in the Brown Brothers Harriman Collection housed in the manuscript collections at New-York Historical Society.

Volkswagen offers cash and vouchers to diesel drivers in Canada and U.S
482,000 drivers in the U.S. have been offered extra incentives while their cars are being fixed
- $1000 worth of vouchers offered to Canadian drivers too
Volkswagen has extended a financial olive branch to its angry customers by offering owners of diesel-powered cars in Canada and the U.S. vouchers worth up to $1,000.
On Monday, the automaker extended the offer to 482,000 vehicle owners in the U.S. who drive one of the small two-litre, four-cylinder engines at the centre of the company's emissions scandal. The affected cars are all from the 2009 model-year onwards.
A spokesman with the company says the automaker is making a similar offer to Canadian owners of the vehicles, which consists of combination of a prepaid Visa card and credits to be used at the owner's discretion for any sales, service or car upgrade at Volkswagen dealerships.
The offer also includes free roadside assistance for the diesel vehicles for three years.
Worldwide, as many as 11 million cars could be equipped with "defeat device" software made to cheat emissions tests.
The offer is aimed at placating VW drivers who are upset that the cars they paid a premium price for are now worth much less than they were banking on. It also helps bridge the gap while their cars are being repaired and ridded of software that was designed to ace emissions tests while secretly belching out far more pollutants than is legally allowed in real-world driving conditions.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Association says in some cases, Volkswagens spew out up to 40 times the amount of nitrogen oxides than they are legally allowed to.
"We are working tirelessly to develop an approved remedy for affected vehicles," said the CEO of Volkswagen's U.S. unit, Michael Horn. "In the meantime, we are providing this goodwill package as a first step towards regaining our customers' trust."
VW said that its Audi luxury brand would launch a similar program on Friday.
Owners will not be required to sign anything giving up their right to sue Volkswagen or forcing the company into arbitration, spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said Monday. "There are no strings attached," she said.
The company is facing more than 200 separate class-action lawsuits that have been filed in the U.S., causing diesel cars to drop in value.
Monday's offer comes on top of an existing promise to offer $2,000 US to current VW owners to trade in their cars for new models.

One of the more serious vulnerabilities in web applications is when someone gains privileges or permissions that they should not have. The most common cause is when someone accidentally or deliberately manages to turn their "regular" account into an administrator account. Because this is the most common scenario, I think we end up thinking the two things are the same, that elevation of privileges = swap regular account for admin account. I learned today that this isn't true.
We saw a very strange problem on an internally used system (but which is hosted on a public web site) where a new employee who should not have had access to it was able to login and be given someone else's account - the worst of both worlds! It would have been bad for an employee to be given another employees account but for an un-registered user (who to all intents and purposes is a stranger) to be given an employee's account is very bad.
It seemed weird and I saw various internet posts about people with a similar problem caused by certain things related to ASP.Net forms authentication. I tried decrypting cookies etc. to try and find out what was happening (were they really logged in as someone else or was it just a display problem) but this failed.
Ultimately, I was able to run the site in the debugger and was surprised to see that it was not the site itself at fault but the OAuth2 sign-in process which was returning the wrong email address and therefore making the site login as the incorrect user. In fact, I maintain the OAuth2 system so somehow it was my fault.
I had to access the database and step through the process to find out what was wrong and eventually tracked it down to a stored procedure that had a slight flaw and caused a potential timing attack. This affected all site we were securing but would only occur if multiple logins occurred within a short period - before the OAuth2 tokens expired.
The problem was that I was updating a table and changing the access code to an access token and then selecting details from the affected row (in theory) but since I had already updated the code column and set it to null, it couldn't be used to select the affected row and using the remainder of the where clause could return multiple entries - and as it happened, the web service would choose the first of these, which would always be the wrong one.
So I had managed to create an elevation of privileges vulnerability by a simple oversight in the design of the system. The moral? Test, test and test some more. Also, have a system which is designed to update or fix quickly so these bugs won't lie around for weeks or months until another "update" can be made.

5 Email Pitfalls to Avoid
Many organizations spend thousands of dollars on a marketing budget to create and build a strong brand that speaks volumes to their consumer. Yet, when it comes to digital marketing many projects are done on the fly.
Social marketing requires you to always be on your toes. However, in a medium like email which reaches your audience on a one-to-one level, you need to have your ducks in row.
Why squander your efforts by mismanaging your messages? Below you'll find 5 pitfalls to avoid with email marketing.
Let's chat in the comments. Do you have any additional suggestions?
5 Email Pitfalls to Avoid
1. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Using poorly chosen fonts in sizes too big, too small or in a wide variety of styles and colors doesn't "spice up your message," it only leads to literal headaches and eye strain for your reader.
Don't make them work to read your message, present it cleanly and simply to ensure the highest readability. Avoid italics at all costs and remember that an underline immediately signals a link.
2. Too quick to care
Email may be a fast-paced medium, but it deserves the same amount of thought and effort you apply to any of your other marketing messages. An email note that has been quickly jotted down is apparent when it is opened by your reader. If the content is sparse, not written in an appealing manner, or seems to be misdirected, the reader will experience only frustration in having opened it. If you don't have the time to write a decent email, why should they waste their time reading it?
3. Jeans at a Black-tie Dinner
Carry your branding throughout your email. If your readers expect an upscale and polished marketing message from you, they don't want to open your email and find "Buy Now! Reserve Today! Supplies going fast!" It cheapens your brand and annoys your consumer.
4. Don't play it again, Sam
In an effort to stay top-of-mind, your first reaction is email frequency. This can backfire drastically on you if you don't actually have something new to say. Email consumers expect fresh messages and content. Repeating the same offer or details month after month will quickly reduce your open rate since consumers learn to expect the same-old, same-old from you.
5. Looks can kill
Web messages strongly rely on graphics to appeal to consumers. However, not everyone is blessed with a $10,000 photography budget. If you do not have access to a strong photography library, choose stock photos and clip art extremely carefully. If the quality of images does not match your other marketing efforts, again, your email will be that guest wearing jeans to a black-tie dinner.

(Let me start this off by saying that I have no idea why I didn't write this sooner)
About 5 months ago I only had two guinea pigs, Kyre and Moe, and they were doing pretty good together (even with the occasional argument). I think it was April 10th when the first *ACTUAL* fight broke out between them, and they've had to be separated ever since.
Earlier that day I fed them both before I went to school, and they seemed to be pretty nice to each other at the time; but then when I came back home I noticed that Kyre was sitting curled up in the corner of the cage, and he never really did that, so I picked him up and saw that his ear was split in half, his nose had a massive gash on it, and had multiple bites on his back, but Moe only had a few scratches. I took Kyre to the vet as soon as I possibly could and they gave him medications and advice for me, and all of the wounds have been healed by now.
But when I first took him out of the cage I noticed that he had a clump of hair kind of popping out of his side where he got bit, so I gently tugged on it to see what was up, and it just came out with some skin and (what I think was) puss. And as stupid as I am, I took tweezers to try and pull some of the puss out, and then I cleaned his wound.
Ever since he got bit he has had this lump on his left side that is the size of a small bouncy ball, and I don't really know what it is. I thought it was a cyst at first, but over the past few months it has gotten bigger and hardened. I thought that maybe it would go away, but it clearly hasn't.
But lately every time I touch anywhere near the lump at all he freaks out and bites either my clothes or my hand, and he is usually very calm. He's obviously in a lot of pain when I touch it, but not when I don't.
I don't want him to go through surgery because he is 8 years old and I don't want his wound to get infected or something afterwards, so does anyone know what's on him and what I can do about it?
Bite turned into a cyst?

It's no doubt an abscess, and it needs to be lanced. It's a fairly easy procedure, and probably will not require general anesthesia. I'd get him to a good exotic vet and have it taken care of, since it obviously bothers him.
You'll have to keep it open after it's drained so it will heal from the inside out. The vet should give you some saline solution and a syringe for flushing it, which you'll need to do twice a day.
Good luck with him, and let us know how you get along.

well, we went to the vet and it went very well !! turns out the lump was just a skin flap and there was some cystic debris, so we got some pain medication and i was told to just keep an eye on it !! they said that if it comes back they may have to preform surgery, but i'm hoping that he's going to be okay !!

It would be easy to go after the low-hanging fruit here. This woman you've never heard of has written three memoirs. Three. Because her life is just that interesting. She is a "journalist". Because writing a blog on HuffPo counts. The obvious self-contradiction of a blogger sneering at self-publishing.
Instead of dwelling on these things, let's look at a far more mature and thorough takedown by Richard Alan Chandler. He doesn't go for the easy insults to an obviously flawed piece, he cuts to the heart of the matter by focusing on how her wrong-headedness about gatekeepers amounts to her lament that things are better for readers today:
No, my point is that she is wrong about the lack of gatekeepers. There are actually more gatekeepers now than there are editors and publishers and agents in the entire publishing industry.
I'm talking about you, the reader – both individually and collectively. Individually, because you now have a vastly broader range of works to choose from. And collectively, through your actions on a site like Amazon. When you and all the other readers go to Amazon, you are informing each other about what is good or bad by what you buy, or not, as reflected by the Amazon ranking (conveniently divided by subgenre), and what else is good through the "Also Bought" mechanism. And individually, again, through your star ratings and reviews. Your actions are both informed by those who have gone before you, and they guide those who come after you.To which I would add that the changing nature of gatekeepers puts the burden on the reader of choosing his own gatekeepers. And that the process of finding, following, and supporting your chosen gatekeeper crew need not be an onerous one. You already enjoy reading, and most of the gatekeepers out there are communication via the written word. So if you dedicate just a few moments of your day's reading to the social media output of even just a handful of trusted individuals, you'll be able to find works that target your interests like a laser beam.

Man sues Bank of America for $1,784 billion trillion
America has its share of ambitious people. But it is almost guaranteed that none in its lengthy history have filed a lawsuit against a bank for more money than Dalton Chiscolm. If my math is correct, Chiscolm is suing Bank of America (BAC) for over $1.78 septillion -- a septillion is 1 with 24 zeros after it. If Bank of America agreed to pay what its customer is asking, it would wipe out the bank's $196 billion in common equity 9.1 trillion times over.
According to Reuters, Chiscolm was unhappy because Bank of America would not deposit some of his checks due to problems with their routing numbers. And his efforts to solve the problem with the help of a "Spanish womn" were unsatisfactory. Chiscolm's lawsuit requests damages for his suffering, specifically, he asks that "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" be deposited into his ATM account the next day. He also demanded an additional $200,164,000."
Although Chiscolm's request sounds reasonable to me, I am not a judge. The judge in his case, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, described his complaint as "incomprehensible." What's so hard to understand about the request? Chiscolm is angry with Bank of America and wants it to pay him about 30 billion times the world's total GDP of $60 trillion.
Maybe it's time for the U.S. government to step in and bail out Bank of America so it can pay him -- after the $45 billion it's received so far, what's an extra septillion?
Update. This is not his first lawsuit. In Janaury 2009, Chiscolm sued his landlord for $892 million billion dollars -- or $892 quadrillion. In his January complaint, Chiscolm alleged that "Manerment nor mainterntmen had no atcuse's to go in my apartment what so ever I had to keep a lock no the kichen cabernit." The court dismissed his complaint.

red grenadine wrote:Rather have a coach players hate but makes them better than a coach who players love who lets them be lazy and suck
There are a lot of styles of relating to players that are effective.
Ever hear of a guy named John Wooden?
Or a guy named Bobby Knight?
Two very different interpersonal styles towards their players. One had a lot more championships than the other.
These days if coaches act in evil, thoughtless ways that make their players hate them, many players will underperform.
Vince Lombardi would be a well below .500 coach in the NFL of the last 10 years. He'd beat the Jim Mora Jr's of the world, but get beaten like a drum by coaches like Pete Carroll, Dan Quinn, Ron Rivera, Mike McCarthy, to name just a few, and destroyed by the Belichicks of the world. Lombardi was successful back in the day *despite* his sometimes-abusive demeanor toward his players.
Gotta admit though, verbally colorful coaches like Mike Ditka are entertaining. I love those old Jim Mora (Sr) videos, the "Playoffs??!!" and "Diddly-poo" ones. Awesome stuff.
Speaking of Ditka, from the Ditka tree, there's Mike Singletary. Calls out Vernon Davis, kicks him off the field in a game vs. the Seahawks. Davis hated him, but then went on to later give Singletary credit for getting him to pull his head out of his ass.
https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013 ... story.html
"That moment, it started to click for me. I said, 'I have to put my teammates first because if I don't, I'm going to lose all I have. I have to focus and I have to be different.'
"It made me a better man, a better teammate, and a better leader for my team. It helped me become the player I am today."
Singletary, to his credit, has done his own work, to improve himself as a coach, to be ready when he gets another shot.
"After he left San Francisco and settled in Minnesota, Mike Singletary looked in the mirror and saw what his wife had been talking about. ... Singletary, the fired head coach, stood eye-to-eye with the look his players, the TV audience and his wife had seen. "I looked like I'm saying, 'I hate you. I cannot stand you,'" he said.
He had every intention to communicate his belief in his players, that there was greatness within them. He had sent the opposite message.
"My body language had to change. My tone of voice had to change," he said.
Singletary has been retooling his style because he wants to be a head coach again.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jerrybarca ... 87621f7158
I don't think Cable's style was an issue. His overall effectiveness was the issue, which comes down to his decisions of how and where to use players, what techniques to teach, what adjustments to make based on game feedback. Ultimately, it's Cable's system of coaching and resulting effectivness that failed, the substance of his coaching and teaching failed, his failure to make adjustments, and little or nothing (IMO) to do with his surface "syntax" of coaching.

If you have your own workshop and you love working yourself, you must be aware of how important it is to have cordless drill batteries. By using cordless drill you can do a number of house hold things easily and quickly, therefore it's important to buy a good and high-quality cordless drill. Also, don't forget to take close look at batteries while purchasing a cordless drill. Batteries should be durable, long lasting, and perform well and work for long hours. Cordless drills are used for a number of purposes like repairing your home, remodeling additions, furniture repair, and other woodwork projects. So along with good quality cordless drills, it's imperative to have good batteries as well because many home projects needs use of cordless drill and good batteries will help you complete your work easily and in less time. There are chances that your battery may stop working in the middle of your project. To avoid such situations, way check that your batteries are fully charged before you use them or buy the best batteries for National cordless drill, which will last long while you are working and they don't need to be replaced as often. To make sure that your batteries work properly, you can follow the below tips:
1. New batteries—A new cordless drill always comes with a battery which is in discharged condition (you need to charge it). Make sure you charge it fully or charge it twice so that it can give its best outcome.
2. Utilize your batteries—If you will not use the batteries for a long time they will eventually become defected. Therefore, you should make sure that you use them often which will help you to improve the life of your cordless batteries. However, if you have already left it inactive, you need to follow the same charging procedure like you do with a new Worx battery.
3. Maintain your batteries—It's imperative to clean your batteries with alcohol and a cotton swab on a regular basis or whenever you use them to keep your batteries in a good condition.
4. Storage—Even if you are not using the batteries quite often, make sure you always keep the batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid placing them near metal and heat. You should not store the battery for more than three months in order to get the best performance.
If you follow all the above tips, you will get the best results from your cordless drill batteries only if it's not already defective. If you need to replace or buy the battery to ensure high quality and performance, you can buy it from a trusted brand because no reputed company would like to lower down their reputation by selling bad quality or defective batteries. Also, when purchasing a battery remember that the performance and durability of your battery depends on the performance and durability of your drill and to get the best results from battery you need to have a good charger too.

H&M Office Wear
As of this year, a trend that began to make me nervous, excited and disappointed all at once was H&M's entrance into women's work wear.
Stage 1: Nervousness
I was nervous because having such a large retailer enter the space LVD would like to go into pitches us in direct competition with them. It would only divide our segmentation further and leave us at a lost price wear against the retail giant.
Stage 2: Excitement
I then became excited because it might mean that the problems I wanted to solve with LVD might be resolved at very cheap prices and decent quality by a large retailer. Even though a business idea would go down the drain, at least I'd have fabulous clothes to wear to work for cheap, right?
Stage 3: Disappointment
I went into H&M for myself to try and and sample the clothing and found the same dilemmas as in the past. Except this time, coupled with extremely poor design and quality.
Lint was queen in the work wear isle and the dresses and slacks I tried on made me feel fat and bloated. Great clothes always make you look better than you do. That's LVD's value proposition essentially.
After these 3 stages, I am now at the blogging stage where I share with all of you reasons why I am again disappointed with our so called options in the current market. I'd love to hear what you all think.
So the idea is you can find all you need for the office, from suits to "business casual" attire. This H&M extension could be offering quality suits at crazy cheap prices for women. A dream come true!
And to some extent, it does accomplish this. For those whose body types fit they designs as well as those who can manage to avoid lint throughout the day, it's really quite a terrific deal.
However, as you continue browsing, the options become less and less appealing.
Well, it may depend on what kind of work culture you're coming from. My views are always from a highly professional, white collar perspective. We're talking high-end consulting and investment banking pre-professional attire. Coming from this background, many other options are really just wrong.
They offer a floral top that
1. Seems like something my mom would wear at home and 2. is neither fashionable nor professional.
They also offer
some short dresses with designs and fabric that would be somewhat embarrassing to wear in a corporate sphere where it may already be hard enough to be taken seriously as a young female. I don't understand what the agenda is; perhaps for people looking for fun work wear where the code is casual? But then, why not just wear casual clothing? Why place it under office wear? I'm just very confused and saddened by how mixed up and messed up the execution is. I had so much hope for the women's work wear section and it's just been thrown under a blanket.

Westcon Group has named industry veteran Dolph Westerbos as the company's new Chief Executive Officer.
With more than 20 years of B2B services and channel leadership experience at companies ranging from Dell to Brambles and ModusLink, Westerbos succeeds Dean Douglas, who will be leaving to pursue another business opportunity.
"I'd like to sincerely thank Dean for the role he played in globalizing Westcon and expanding its footprint during the five years he led the organization," says Jens Montanana, CEO, Datatec.
"His strategic vision and experience in the technology and channel industry will serve him well and I wish him the most success in his new endeavours."
Speaking following his announced departure at the value-added distributor, Douglas said: "I would like to thank all of those at Westcon who have supported me during the remarkable transformation of Westcon into a global player over the last five years."
Westerbos comes to Westcon Group from Brambles and CHEP, where he served as Group President of Asia Pacific and EMEA for the supply chain and pooling solutions provider.
As Westcon's newest executive, Westerbos will build upon the company's leadership in value-added distribution – with more than $4 billion in revenue and presence in 60 countries across six continents.
"Dolph has a great track-record of managing organizations that couple premier technology-based solutions and services, built on strong operational capabilities," Montanana continues.
"Combined with his global background and experience in emerging markets, this makes him a great fit to take Westcon's market leadership even further."
While at Brambles, Westerbos was responsible for helping generate services revenues of $2 billion across 7,000 employees, with operations in more than 40 countries. While there, he also led the company's market strategy, product development, and global customer organizations.
Westerbos also performed as Vice President of Solutions and Services for EMEA at Dell, shepherding its managed services, consulting and data center products business to revenues of approximately $2.5 billion across 50 countries.
Previously, he helped establish Dell's European channel business and managed reseller partner relationships in Western Europe.
Before Dell, Dolph worked at NASDAQ-listed ModusLink, a global provider of supply chain, IT and business process outsourcing services, for 12 years in a number of international senior general management, operations, technology and sales roles.
"Westcon's success is based on an ability to deliver real-world technology solutions and services that target the most difficult challenges facing the data center, network, security, and unified communications marketplaces," Westerbos says.
"This has been accomplished by integrating strong vendor relationships alongside an unmatched technology vision and deep services.
"I'm excited to be joining the company at this pivotal time to accelerate its next stage of growth."

As September comes to an end, we are about to finish the community engagement phase of the Boston Creates Cultural Planning Process. It really was an incredible summer and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you what we accomplished.
On June 2nd, we officially kicked off the public engagement phase with a Town Hall at English High School. Almost 500 people were on hand that night to learn about the cultural planning process and participate in break-out discussions. Following the Town Hall, the Boston Creates community engagement teams spread out across the city, holding 118 community conversations in 16 neighborhoods, engaging more than 1100 individuals. Conversations were held in multiple languages and a special effort was made to engage youth across the city.
Our team has been hard at work, facilitating more than 40 focus groups, engaging close to 600 participants representing artistic disciplines and service organizations, as well as individuals in education, creative industries, humanities, tourism and economic development. The team has also conducted individual interviews with stakeholders in city government and cultural institutions across the city.
The community survey was launched in mid-July and was designed to explore how individuals define and engage in creative activities. The survey was open to anyone who lives, works or plays in Boston. So far, more than 2500 people have completed the survey. If you haven't had a chance to participate yet, The survey will remain open through the end of the month. You can access it in English here or in Spanish here.
With such incredible enthusiasm for participation in the process, what have we learned? On November 2nd, join us from 6pm – 8pm at The Boston Latin School for the second Boston Creates Town Hall as we review what we've learned and develop potential responses. Come join with your fellow Bostonians for this second town hall meeting. Conducted as a workshop, like the first town hall in June, this two-hour session will include a presentation of the community engagement findings and peer group discussion.
Please RSVP at https://bostoncreatestownhall2.eventbrite.com. We look forward to seeing you there!Share

Just the Right Thing
This morning I was reading and ended up in Galatians. Galatians 1:10 is a verse I know very well, but here is one thing I've learned: Even the verses you "know" the best can still hit you in a different way over and over again. God is good.
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
I can't even describe how much I needed to read that. I don't know why we worry so much about what other people think, but we do and I'm especially bad about it. When I can tell someone is mad at me or upset with me it will eat me alive, even if I know I did the right thing. There have been times lately where my heart has questioned whether I did the right thing or not because of the way people are treating me even though logically I know I did. I've been letting my focus be drawn away from Him and onto myself and how I was being treated and how that made me feel. I trust you've picked up on that pattern I have been following.
That verse was just what I needed this morning, but the day wasn't over yet. After lunch, I was heading back to work and reached over to turn my volume up. I have XM radio and it stays on the Message (seriously they should have a package for one channel, because I subscribe JUST for that one channel apparently). Again, the song playing was not new to me. It's a song I've heard many times and a song that has "hit" me before, but once again in a different way today. I've even shared this song on the blog before. It's by Matthew West and the title is Forgiveness. I turned it up in the middle of the song. When I started listening, these words played:
Even when a jury and a judge
Say you've got a right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying
"Set it free"
I began to sob so uncontrollably I had to stop at the gas station I was passing. Again, I can't even describe how much I needed to hear this. I've been constantly praying about a situation and God is always faithful to answer. The problem was I was listening to everyone around me instead of the answer He was giving.
Now, I have to give a shout out to the pretty lady in all of these pictures with me. God brought this lovely lady and I together through the youth group at our church and we've been best friends ever since--even though she lives hours away, when we talk it's like we haven't missed anything. I can be so upset and she can make me laugh--she doesn't even know it sometimes--like when I think about us riding in her jeep with the top off singing "She's in Love with the Boy" as loud as we possibly could with bandanas on our heads (because a church Easter egg hunt is serious business--had to be there). She's my voice of sanity when I'm upset and "venting" and she's full of words of wisdom. She's in love with Jesus and portrays that in her daily life. I couldn't ask for a better friend, sister, and amazing person in general. Love you Steph (or Stepabie as Audrey affectionately calls you)

Cleveland Browns defensive end Armonty Bryant tore his right ACL and MCL during Sunday's win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cleveland Browns defensive end Armonty Bryant and center Alex Mack are out for the season with injuries from Sunday's win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
Bryant, 24, left the game during the first quarter after injuring his knee. Head coach Mike Pettine said after the game the team did not have a diagnosis on Bryant's injury. Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer reports that Bryant tore both his ACL and MCL in his right knee.
Bryant, a seventh-round pick in the 2013 draft, has started two games this season in place of Phil Taylor, who had arthroscopic knee surgery last week. Bryant has one sack and 11 combined tackles.
• KING: Is this for real, Cleveland?
After Bryant's injury, center Alex Mack broke his fibula during the second quarter, and Rapoport reports he is also out for the season. However, on Monday, Pettine said the Browns won't know until after surgery if Mack is out for the year, according to NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano.
The MMQB's Greg Bedard broke down the impact of Mack's injury on Cleveland's chances going forward.
Pettine said the team did a good job of filling in for the injured players.
"I thought today was a perfect example of 'next man up' before the game even with (Ahtyba) Rubin being down and having the d-linemen step up, and then in-game – you have (John) Greco slide over to center and do a solid job. There are no excuses on Sunday when there are injuries, so I can't be more proud of the group and the coaches on how they handled it. I can't understate how important this win was for us."
Cleveland is allowing 409.2 yards per game and has 10.0 sacks, which rank 29th and 19th in the league, respectively. The Browns are 3-2 and play the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road on Sunday.

The only logical means of running the Mac OS X operating system on your Windows PC is to run it in an emulator capable of emulating the PowerPC CPU architecture. While popular virtualization software programs like Virtual PC and VMware have been around in the market for a long time, none support running Mac OS X. Fortunately, an open source project, PearPC, makes it possible to run Mac OS X on Windows. PearPC is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator. (It is released under the General Public License (GPL)-a freely used free software license.) PearPC emulates the PowerPC architecture by using a JIT (Just-in-Time) emulator to dynamically translate PowerPC code into x86 code.
In this Short Cut, you will learn how to install Mac OS X on your Windows PC using PearPC. I will walk you through all the steps needed to successfully get Mac OS X working, as well as configure additional settings to make Mac OS functional.

AM Radio is now DEAD?
4 comments:
Part of the plan of HD Radio (HD/IBOC) may be to destroy AM radio with adjacent-channel interference, but news/talk/sports on AM is very popular:
It is the music-oriented FMs that are in trouble from other media such as iPods, so there is a scramble to simulcast AM on FM. Only a handful of AMs are broadcasting in HD/IBOC and many have turned it off:
HD Radio has almost zero consumer interest:

Jerry you rock! You're a true Gentleman and it was a pleasure to talk to you last weekend. I'm an appreciator of you're work.
I saw a bulletin post from you over on myspace about Blogspot and just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to this. I never knew you and Alan used Blogspot - I didn't, until now that is.

I have to admit that whilst it's great to hit the remote and spin through the satellite channels, or click the mouse for thousands of online stations, there's still some magic attached to tuning out the whistles and static to pick up some far away station on AM. Maybe I spent too much time as a kid in the 70s listening to Wolfman Jack on AFN Germany :)

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble deciding whether I should send my diversity statement as my PS, or whether to send both essays. My background coming from an immigrant family is why I want to become an immigration lawyer, so its hard for me to talk about why I want to be a lawyer without mentioning diversity.
As it currently stands, my diversity statement discusses the obstacles I faced growing up due to my immigrant background, how I turned that into a positive when establishing a new student org for interaction between american and international students and taught ESL to immigrants, my current work in an immigration law firm, and ending with why I want to be an immigration lawyer.
My personal statement talks solely about establishing the new student org and growing in a leadership role. Basically, I tried highlighting a specific situation where I could demonstrate my work ethic and ability to grow. However it's definitely not a complete picture of who I am and doesn't really answer why I want to study law.
I can think of other topics to write about in my PS, but none of them answer why I want to be an immigration lawyer as much as my diversity essay would. While my work experience would be great, I just started so I can't say much.
Another idea would be to cut my diversity essay in half. I could talk about my childhood, growing up etc in my diversity essay, and talk more about my recent accomplishments and work experience in my PS. But I am worried that would make each essay weaker.
I have read posts that say to send just one essay if there is so much overlap. That makes sense to me, except I am worried about schools like NYU that say, "if you are part of an underrepresented group, check the box below and write a diversity statement". By not checking that box I'm afraid of putting myself in a disadvantage.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if anything I wrote was unclear.
Thank you!!

Re: Diversity Statement as Personal Statement?
What are your other options for a PS? If your background/major is somewhat related to law/government/politics you probably don't have to answer the typical "Why law school?" question. If you want to send me what you have I'll be able to offer you more advice though. It's hard to comment without seeing exactly what is written.

The Priests and the Visionaries
I have noticed and can testify that the girls had a great respect and actual admiration for the priesthood.
Generally, when they were in ecstasy in the houses, they knelt in front of the priests in order to hold the holy crucifix to their lips.
Sometimes they carried this politeness even further.
It was on July 3, 1962 . . .
After the recitation of the rosary, the four young girls were together in ecstasy. We went up to the Pines and made some walks around them. This was done in total darkness, by flashlight. Now I have poor vision. At the time of coming back down again to the village, I stayed behind the last person in order to walk undisturbed, clinging to the stones and high bushes. I was not concerned that the girls and their numerous following were getting far away from me. Certainly I would not be the first one down, but I knew that I would finish by actually arriving there.
Abruptly, the entire procession stopped, permitting me to rejoin it. Then it started up again, going away from me again. It stopped. I came up to it a second time. Soon the procedure began again and there was a third stop.
As I was rejoining the group, I saw people coming toward me. Thinking that the four visionaries were going up again to the Pines, I stepped aside to let them pass.
Not at all. The visionaries were coming to find me . . .
— "Father," Ceferino said to me then, "They want you to kiss the crucifix."
I heard a woman who confirmed this, since she had heard these things well:
— "Oh, the girls are waiting for a priest . . . "
The girls never failed to show an attitude of respect, reverence, politeness, and preference for the priesthood.
Even more, one or another priest was at times heard by the girls during an ecstasy.
Ordinarily, in similar cases, the girls did not speak with persons around them. The girls did not hear the people speaking to them. They only heard their companions and only spoke with them, even if these were not in ecstasy. The latter were given the task of speaking to the girls in ecstasy if that was necessary or useful to the spectators.
Nevertheless, on several occasions, the girls responded directly to the questions and thoughts of Father Valentín. And this happened once to me.
It was in Conchita's kitchen, on the day of the episode with Loli's crucifix. Loli in ecstasy in the kitchen, went to the window to present the cross to be kissed. As she passed in front of me, I said to her,
— "And not to me?"
Lightening struck. Since she could not have appeared more amazed. She turned around swiftly, laughed loudly, And answered my request.
The visionaries obeyed the priests willingly and directly. Better than that, while smiling.
I was at Jacinta's house. Loli and her sister, Amaliuca, had returned an envelope to me containing 2 postcards that I did not have the time to look at. I knew only that they had been dedicated and I intended to have them kissed by the Virgin . . . to have a relic.
Mari Cruz was at my side in the normal state. I used the opportunity to send her to meet Jacinta, who was in the village in ecstasy;
— "Tell her that she should come home to present my holy cards for the Virgin's kiss."
Jacinta did not wait. She came into the kitchen, fell on her knees, made her way toward me, still on her knees. She gave me her crucifix to kiss. She got up, took one of the two cards in her hand, raised it up high, as the visionaries had the custom of doing when they held some object to the Virgin's lips. I saw her drop her arm. She raised it up again, dropped it down again, and for a third time made the same gesture.
— "She doesn't kiss this one," she whispered.
She offered the second and the Virgin kissed it.
Surprised by this, I finally looked at the two cards and understood immediately. The first, (this may have belonged to Loli's sister Amaliuca) was not religious, while the other one was a picture of St. Pascal Baylon. I gave these two cards to Father Morelos, a Mexican priest, so that he would have the joy of possessing at least a souvenir from the Virgin of Garabandal.
