Florida Student Named Top Seller At Baylor ContestMarch 25, 2002
by Alan Hunt
WACO, Texas -- Lisa Hanger, a student from the University of Central Florida, won the overall championship award at the fourth annual National Collegiate Sales Competition at Baylor University.
Hanger was honored with the championship trophy and a check for $2000 at an awards banquet Saturday evening at the conclusion of the two-day contest. Believed to be the only tournament of its kind in the nation, nearly 50 students from 24 major universities in America competed in the contest, which is sponsored by Baylor's Center for Professional Selling.
First runner-up in the overall championship award was Stephanie Friedman of Bowling Green State University, and second runner-up was Jim McMillan of the University of Central Florida.
The University of Central Florida also won the team award. Other team placings were: 2nd - Bowling Green State University, 3rd - Middle Tennessee State University, 4th - University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and 5th - Baylor University.
Winner of the Product Category Individual Award was Amber Oetting of Purdue University, and in second place was Breanne Hart of California State University at Sacramento. The Service Category Individual Award went to Laurie Cook of Middle Tennessee State University, and Baylor University student Karen Thomas placed second.
Baylor marketing professor, contest creator and director, Dr. Terry W. Loe, said the contest traditionally attracts students from top college sales programs, along with prominent university professors who teach and conduct research in sales.
"The students have to prove themselves before some of America's best sales experts who judge their performances," he said. "It's tough. This is probably the most demanding and challenging sales call they'll make."
The sponsoring firms include, Arrow Electronics; Pulte Homes; Carlton-Bates; Elk; Novartis Animal Health; A.H. Belo; Great West Life/New England Financial; Kimberly Clark; Liberty Mutual Group; FedEx; IBM.com; Loomis, Fargo & Co.; Sealy; UniFirst; EdwardJones; Wilsonart International; the Hankamer School of Business; and Hankamer's department of marketing.
Arrow Electronics executive Dave Doherty, vice president of sales and marketing North America, described the contest as a "fantastic event." He noted the continued increase in the number of competing schools, participants and sponsors during the four years that the contest has been running. Barry J. Mazur, assistant regional sales manager of Liberty Mutual, said he was "very impressed" with the quality of the participating students.
"They will certainly make a great addition to the sales force," he said.

I always feel a little gypped when a self-professed horror movie ends up taking the "it was all in his head" road. If there wasn't really anything supernatural or murderous behind the whole thing, does that really make it a horror flick? Isn't that one of the main things that makes a movie a horror rather than a thriller?
For the sake of argument -- and because it's never actually cleared up whether it really was all in his head -- we'll call The Skeptic a horror movie. It's a spooky ghost(?) story, centering on Bryan (Tim Daly, of "Wings" fame), who is -- you guessed it -- a skeptic. He's also an attorney, so it makes sense that he's suspicious by nature. Bryan is virtually a stone, a Tin Man, but without the drive to secure a heart for himself. His wife accuses him of being too unemotional, which he resents not because of its validity, but because she knew this going in. His best friend (Tom Arnold) commiserates but agrees with the wife.
When Bryan's aunt passes away he moves into her gigantic old Victorian house to settle her affairs (and take some time off from the old ball and chain). It's not long before things get eerie. He starts hearing voices whispering to him and begins seeing strange figures. After a little delving, he discovers that his childhood was not exactly what he remembers. He finds that his mother, who fell down the stairs to her death when he was five, was an abusive monster. Could her ghost be lingering in the house, eager to torture him some more? It's open-ended. Explanations are given for what Bryan hears and sees -- he goes to several folks in the town, including a research scientist (Bruce Altman) at a sleep clinic, who tells him his brain is playing tricks and his former child therapist (Edward Herrmann), who reluctantly gives up the dirt on Bryan's mother -- but then there's the priest (Robert Prosky) who warned him about the evils of the house early on; his own son, who claims that he heard someone in the closet calling out to him; and Cassie (Zoe Saldana), the supposed psychic who tweaks out while in the house because of all the "energy."
Despite the ambiguity, The Skeptic is actually decently scary, at least up until the last 40 seconds or so. It's full of classic startling "Oh, no, there is someone or something behind you or upstairs!" moments, as well as those slow-building shivers of suspense. Big old houses are always kind of menacing -- anything could pop out at any moment and effectively ruin a good pair of underpants -- and perfect for putting in your head that something might be lurking about in your own closet or basement. Chances are that after watching this you'll start jumping at sudden noises or seeing random shadows that sort of look like someone you knew.
There's a deeper message, though, not to be ignored -- don't hide your kids' past traumas in the hope that they'll forget all about them and grow up to be a well-adjusted adult. Chances are something will be wrong with them, and they may abandon their deep-seated personality traits and start believing in ghosts (though, in Bryan's case, he gave up his faithlessness awfully easily considering what a notorious skeptic he's supposed to be).
DVD Bonus Features
There's nary a special feature on this disc, just a lonely trailer for the movie.
"The Skeptic" is on sale December 8, 2009 and is rated NR. Horror, Thriller. Written and directed by Tennyson Bardwell. Starring Tim Daly, Zoë Saldana, Tom Arnold, Edward Herrmann, Andrea Roth.

Thermography produces raised printing similiar in appearance to engraving but using a different process. In thermography, a special powder is added to the ink printed on the paper. The printed piece is heated and the powder and ink mixture dries to form a raised effect on the paper.
Embossing uses a specially-made die to form a raised three-dimensional impression that allows you to feel the design. It is a graceful effect that brings a touch of class to your piece. Embossing can be used on its own or in combination with 4-color printing or foil stamping.
Foil stamping/embossing is a great option for a designer to integrate a special metallic effect into the artwork. Foil stamping/embossing is a special offline process which requires heat for the transfer of the metallic foil to paper or several other solid substrates. Foils come in many colors with each one bringing a unique vivid effect to any printed piece.

These bizarre pictures show drinkers competing in a potentially deadline online drinking game which has horrified alcohol abuse campaigners and police.
NekNominate, in which people compete to drink a pint of alcohol in the most creative way possible and upload the video to Facebook or Twitter, is thought to have been born in Australia.
But it has now taken off all over the UK with a host of videos going viral.
One shows young Kirkcudbrightshire farmer Colin Davidson mud-skiing behind a quad bike while wearing a Borat-style mankini.
But Alcohol Focus Scotland chief Dr Evelyn Gillan said it could cost lives.
She told the Daily Record: "It encourages participants to down drinks and then dare their friends to copy the trend leading to increasingly risky attempts to outdo one another."
Over the weekend, neknominate was linked to the deaths of 22-year-old DJ Ross Cummins , after he was found unconscious at a house in Dublin, and 19-year-old Jonny Byrne, who was pulled from a river in Co Carlow.
Both me were said to have taken part in the challenge before their deaths.

It actually sounds to me more like what I see when the terminal size determined by more(1) doesn't match the real size. This can happen either by having incorrect nonzero values in the kernel ("stty size") or by having zeroes in the kernel and having a terminal type set whose termcap entry specifies a size different from the actual size. Check "stty size" and perhaps try "stty rows 25 cols 80" (I think you said 80x25, didn't you?) and see if that helps any. der Mouse email@example.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good morning.
Sunday, we saw some efficient lead blocking from fullback Michael Robinson. He was in on 18 snaps, which is an increase in usage of a fullback in the Seahawks' scheme. Marshawn Lynch had 21 carries. That was the increase the Seahawks were looking for after he carried a paltry eight times against the Rams.
Which led our Dave Boling to have a chat with Robinson. Lynch was, ahem, unavailable for comment.
"I can't explain it, or put it into words," Robinson said of his working and personal relationships with Lynch. "We've been playing together for a while, and he knows what I'm gonna do and how I'm going to target a guy. I talk to him about what I'm doing to do when we see a certain look, so, yeah, we communicate a whole lot."
I wrote about Doug Baldwin's thoughts on the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito situation, plus a couple other items in my notebook.
> Commissioner Richard Sherman. Like the sound of that? Here's Sherman on what he would do if he was commissioner of the NFL.
> ESPN.com with a post on Russell Wilson being at his best while under duress.
> 710 ESPN writes about last season's playoff loss to the Falcons sticking with the Seahawks.
> The Everett Herald writes about Golden Tate with the headline, "polarizing playmaker".
> A Seahawks midseason report from ESPN.
> The focus at Seahawks.com is on Doug Baldwin, who played flanker and in the slot last Sunday.
> Old friend Steve Kelley pops up at Seahawks.com with a column on Malcolm Smith.
> Some notes about the Falcons-Seahawks game from the Falcons' official website.
> Here's Mike Holmgren on 950 KJR yesterday talking Seahawks and Jonathan Martin.
> Doctors told Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett that he has signs of CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative condition many scientists say is caused by head trauma and linked to depression and dementia. More than 50 former players who have posthumously had their their brains studied have shown signs of CTE. The significance here is that researchers will now be able to assess someone with CTE who is still alive. Here's the video of Dorsett explaining what he's going through as he forgets where he's going, lashes out at his wife and daughters and even considered killing himself.
You'll note in the video one of the doctors stresses it's a small sample size and the research is in its early stages.
You'll also note Dorsett has tears in his eyes as he explains that his daughters are afraid of him.
> Former Seahawk OL John Moffitt abruptly quit football Wednesday. He's living in Seattle and explained to the Associated Press, he lost the love for the game. He also had concerns about his health. So, he made the change, leaving more than $1 million in salary behind.
> Several Dolphins players supported Richie Incognito on Wednesday when speaking with the media.
> Thomas Boswell from the Washington Post lights up the NFL for what he feels it has become.
> San Francisco WR Michael Crabtree was back at practice Wednesday.

The buzz at the Agudah convention over the weekend, which overshadowed the rabbinic sermonizing, was panic at the thought that Thompson is not corruptible. They are frantically trying to figure out how to stymie his stated intent to properly examine and follow through on the molesting charges against cantor and rabbi, Baruch (Mordechai) Lebovits. It is not a question of his innocence. Any savvy, sentient being in Boro Park knows the many, many allegations against him. But this does not matter. It is a question of preserving the pattern they established with Joe Hynes of being able to get most of their criminals coddled.
The fixers are frustrated because their standard shtadlanim (political pleaders) are now irrelevant. The Friedmans, Niedermans, Ben Barbers, and Henna Whites are all yesterday's trash swept away by Thompson's 11% percent primary victory, without the ultra orthodox vote. There is a new sheriff in town and he is a serious man.
Nevertheless, they will muster all their political ingenuity and call in all their chits with intermediary politicians, whether venal or gullible, to make the case to Thompson that he should hold back on the Lebovits case. I doubt they will succeed, in spite of all their chatter. But they will find a way to give the Thompson transition team an earful of contrived rumors and a few veiled threats.
I feel for the Thompson team which will have to put up with the input and filter out the garbage. But I suppose that goes with the territory of being Brooklyn DA. At the end of the day this will be part of his team's political education about absurd messaging in the defense of reprehensible molesters. I am confident that over time, the Thompson team will get better and better at sorting the truth from the chaff and will learn which sources are actually trustworthy.

|Reviews for Promised Land
| Lee DeG chapter 1 . 6/14/2009
This is a nice story, but once you mentioned Franz Kafka, a rather glaring plot error came out. The ship's passage is far, far too long.
When you give Franz Kafka a chance to get published, that moves the chronology up to at least 1910. By that time there are a number of trans-Atlantic liners crossing the ocean offering various degrees of comfort to steerage/third class passengers, but usually crossing the sea in no more than a week to ten days.
| RavenLady chapter 1 . 4/19/2005
Beautifully written and heartbreaking.
| Arabwel chapter 1 . 6/6/2003
I like this... I am a Maglor fan, and you have portrayed him well. I like :)
| Suzine chapter 1 . 5/31/2003
*sniff* Poor Maglor. "Without hope...". So lonely, so different- an Exile.
Words escape me at the moment. Lovely story.
| ren chapter 1 . 5/31/2003
i like this! will you somehow be continuing this? you should...
| Klose chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
Ah. Ah... a very beautiful story.
The descriptions of Maglor's grief at leaving the land he had sacrificed so much for- so very poignant, very nicely drawn out. I just love the character of the boy... quite a heart wrenching portrayal.
I probably have not go the point of your story, or least I have not mentioned it here (words escape me at the momemnt), but I still enjoyed very much. :)
| Jen Littlebottom chapter 1 . 5/22/2003
But I am no man...
So Maglor sails West at last - but not to Valinor.
'Can't let the pride go, hey, as low as you fall, can't forget how great and important you are, can you?"'
I think that sums it up perfectly; the Fall of the Noldor was, in my mind, always about pride.
Lovely, lovely.
| Cirdan chapter 1 . 5/20/2003
Very Maglor. I like the images that you build up of the land, the people, the very surroundings. The West as a place of dreams and illusions; ah, only for Maglor. And America becomes something of an extension of those thoughts. Exiles seem very prone to met Maglor.
| Finch chapter 1 . 5/19/2003
What an excellent story! The various human characters come more alive than Maglor, and somehow this feels exactly right. The haunting repetition 'I am no man' hammers Maglor's loneliness home in a heart-wrenching way. But somehow the interaction with the boy makes it just bearable.
I'm truly impressed!
| Jillian Baade chapter 1 . 5/18/2003
Without hope he will fade, of course. Poor Maglor, sailing west to America is NOT going to Valinor, silly! I guess I can understand why he did it though. Good story.
| Ithilwen too lazy to log in chapter 1 . 5/18/2003
Gorgeous, Chat. Aboslutely gorgeous. The last sentence fragment is especially haunting.
| lipstick chapter 1 . 5/18/2003
Aw Chat, this is heart breaking. Poor Maglor. Poor little elves who cannot live without hope...
(sniffs) This is beautifully sparse you made it so sad without making it sentimental. But then, no more than I have come to expect from you.
| Staggering Wood-Elf chapter 1 . 5/18/2003
Well, your Word still manages to elude me... :) no surprise there, heh. But this story is so incredibly gorgeous, I had to comment.
It's the other characters that brought it to life - the old man, the Russian boy... they're so human, so real, which makes Maglor stand out even more, being what he is. Actually I felt more sorry for some of them than for Maglor... But then you sprung that ending on us. Without hope indeed... Poor guy.
And it makes sense that everything wouldn't be all right when he got to America. After all, it wasn't for the immigrants, why should he be any different?
My favourite line was:
"I see. It is the same yellow, dried grass, it is the same acid, caustic rain; it is the same merciless sun and the same inclement Earth. "
You have such a powerful way with words.
(sorry for rambling).
| Gardeners Grow Love chapter 1 . 5/18/2003
Beautiful story. I like the effect you create through repetition. The first sentence is captivating; the tone of the story is reflective and quiet, a perfect emulation of Maglor. Poor guy.

First of all, The Poop has not suddenly accepted sponsorship from Sleep Train. (Although we are openly courting both the Pabst Blue Ribbon and Red Vines people.) However, this is clearly "bed week," and it's our goal to illustrate all posts with nothing but photos of empty beds and cribs between now and Friday. Still trying to decide how to turn this into a contest …
As promised in the comments of the Outnumbered! post, here's our shaboo-suggested discussion on boys and girls sharing the same room. I didn't really think about the phenomenon until last year, when I visited some friends who live in Rockridge, and I was surprised to see their young boy and girl sharing a room.
I'm not sure why I thought twice about it. For a short time during my early elementary school years, when my grandmother was living with us, my three-years-older sister and I shared a bunk bed. I imagine that this arrangement would have ended with a homicide when we were in our teens, but I don't recall any horrifying episodes as young children. Considering how expensive real estate is in the Bay Area, I suspect a lot of middle class parents are forced into different-gender-child-bedroom-sharing as a more permanent solution, just as my two boys will probably have to share a room. (I'm suppressing a joke about Angelina Jolie and her brother, although I suspect Jon Voight had more than two bedrooms in his house.)
Are your opposite-gendered kids sharing a room? Will this be a long-term arrangement? Should the kids have a house of cards competition to determine whether to buy the Barbie or Transformer bedsheets? What are the pros and cons of this arrangement?

Mick Foley Talks TNA But Continues His Obsession with WWE Chairman Vince McMahonNovember 8, 2008
In an interview with Alex Marvez of the Scripps-Howard News Service, Mick Foley talked a little TNA but a lot about WWE Chairman Vince McMahon (again).
In the article, which can be read in its entirety here (http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/37764), Foley says:
"An announcer needs to feel like what he's saying is important. When I say I was met with a profound feeling of emptiness following every 'Smackdown' taping, I am not being overdramatic. I really felt it was the least important thing I've ever done in wrestling. I just think that Vince's over-producing strips the fun and feeling of accomplishment from it.
"There were times when I barely knew he was there, when he was really easy to work with and the things he said were really helpful. But over the course of time, I felt like I was getting gradually less effective in the role. I didn't want fans to realize that I was getting to the point of phoning it in and no longer caring."

Captain Marryat's The Children of the New Forest is a wonderful tale in narrative, historically rich and quite fascinating. This story of adventure, treachery, and love takes place during the English Civil War, when fellow countrymen are found enemies, and are set against each other, Roundhead and Cavalier, Parliament and the King. Many hoped for the same thing: justice. But, for a long time, neither could find it. In the midst of all were the Beverlies, the family of a faithful Cavalier, who died in service of the king. His four children were left orphaned when their mother died of grief. Then, word came to them that the Roundheads were going to burn down their estate, Arnwood. Fate sent them into the hands of an old forester, Jacob Armitage, and they escaped to his cottage. From there, the story unfolds. It is a classic worthy of shelving in libraries, in private or in public collections, recommended by many educators with all due praise.
Captain Frederick Marryat (July 10, 1792 – August 9, 1848) was an English Royal Navy officer, novelist, and a contemporary and acquaintance of Charles Dickens, noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story. He is now known particularly for the semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy and his children's novel The Children of the New Forest, and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling. From 1832 to 1835 Marryat edited The Metropolitan Magazine. He kept producing novels, with his biggest success, Mr Midshipman Easy, coming in 1836. He lived in Brussels for a year, travelled in Canada and the United States, then moved to London in 1839, where he was in the literary circle of Charles Dickens and others. He was in North America in 1837 when the Rebellion of that year in Lower Canada broke out, and served with the British forces in suppressing it. He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his invention and other achievements. In 1843 he moved to a small farm at Manor Cottage in Norfolk, where he died in 1848.
His daughter Florence Marryat later became well-known as a writer and actress. His son Francis Samuel Marryat completed his late novel The Little Savage. Marryat's novels are characteristic of their time, with the concerns of family connections and social status often overshadowing the naval action, but they are interesting as fictional renditions of the author's 25 years of real-life experience at sea. These novels, much admired by Joseph Conrad and Ernest Hemingway, were among the first sea novels. They were models for later works by C. S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian that were also set in the time of Nelson and told the stories of young men rising through the ranks through successes as naval officers. His later novels were generally for the children's market, including his most famous novel for contemporary readers, The Children of the New Forest, which was published in 1847 and set in the countryside surrounding the village of Sway, Hampshire.
In the opening of this historical adventure tale Captain Frederick Marryat directly addresses his juvenile audience, telling them to look up 1647, the year in which his narrative takes place. The historical backdrop is thus set as the English Civil War. Four children of a cavalier who's been killed in the war must hide out in England's New Forest when their family home is burned down.
British actor Barnaby Edwards voices the impetuous and resourceful youths skillfully, as well as their neighbors in the British countryside with their authentic and varying accents and vernaculars. Juvenile listeners will greatly enjoy these youths' adventures during tumultuous times.

Hoyt Axton
"Hoyt Wayne Axton" (March 25, 1938 – October 26, 1999) was an American country music singer-songwriter, and a film and television actor.
Hoyt Axton
He was born in Duncan, Oklahoma. His mother, Mae Boren Axton, co-wrote the classic rock 'n' roll song "Heartbreak Hotel", which became the first major hit for Elvis Presley. Some of Hoyt's own songs were also later recorded by Elvis. Hoyt served in the US Navy aboard the USS Princeton (LPH-5), before pursuing a music career.
Beginning in the early 1960's with a folksy album titled 'Greenback Dollar' (recorded at the legendary Troubador), Axton released numerous albums well into the 1980's, changing somewhat with the times but always retaining an honest, down-home and fairly 'country' approach to his music.
He had many minor hits of his own, such as 1979's "Della and the Dealer", and his face became well-known in the 1970's and 1980s through many TV and film appearances, from "Bonanza" to the movie "Gremlins". However, his most lasting contributions were songs made famous by others: "Greenback Dollar" (Kingston Trio), "Joy to the World" (Three Dog Night), "The Pusher" (Steppenwolf), and "No-No Song" (Ringo Starr) are songs heard b...

Civic body, residents differ on artificial Lokhandwala pond's expansion size
Artificial Lokhandwala pond gets green light for expansion; but residents, civic authorities differ on new dimensions
Celebrations are in order for Andheri (W) Lokhandwala residents, who have been demanding expansion of a four-year old artificial pond, used for Ganpati immersion.
Dhaval Shah measuring the dimensions of the pond, which is currently dry. Pics/Prabhanjan Dhanu
This pond, extensively used during visarjan is currently 7m (length) and 6m (wide). Now, the BMC passed the motion for its expansion on May 26 in its ward meeting and says that it will extend the length of this pond by 5m, making it 12m (length) and 6m (wide).
Residents at the pond which is covered
The residents' joy though is tempered by the fact that this pond, on the Lokhandwala Backroad is going to be extended by just 5m. They state that the pond should be at least 18m in length, which means an additional 6m in length to the proposed 12m.
The Backroad pond sees queues during visarjan when environment-friendly residents lines, stretch all the way on to the road, waiting for their chance to bid farewell to Mumbai's beloved elephant headed God in a pollution-free manner.
"The number of idols being immersed in the artificial pond has quadrupled in the last four years," said Dhaval Shah, a resident of Lokhandwala, and founder of Lokhandwala-Oshiwara Citizens Association (LOCA). Shah states, "There were only 500 idols immersed during the first year, but last year, we saw the number reach a high of 2,200 idols. If the authorities manage to extend it by only 5 metres in length, that may suffice for two years, but will once again have to be expanded, the year after that."
Anil Garg, resident of Movie Tower building on Lokhandwala's Backroad, said, "If you have a larger pond, you can accommodate the bigger idols, that currently cannot be immersed in the pond owing to its (the pond's) small size." Garg says that though this pond's main purpose is visarjan, residents could also use it year-round for harvesting rain water in it during the monsoon, or breed fresh water fish in it, to make the fullest use of the pond.
"We don't want to be bargaining with the authorities for every metre of expansion; we are not begging," said Sanjay Parashar, another resident. "This is the only artificial pond in the area, and sees up to 40 families at any given time during a visarjan day. Expanding it will help in reducing waiting bottlenecks, but as more and more people are switching to artificial methods of immersion that are environment friendly, the pond will again have to be extended further in the next few years to accommodate the incoming idols. We want things to be done once in a five-year period, but done perfectly."
Last year, residents had to put some alum-like chemical into the pond water to get rid of sedimentation, as the immersed idols were rising to the surface since the pond had reached its saturation point. "Expansion will help in making the visarjan process more like a clean, well-organised carnival, rather than a chaotic Juhu beach type of experience. It will also help reduce the amount of time people queue up at the pond," says Shah. This pond has helped in reducing the number of idols being immersed in the neighbouring lake on Backroad, leading to a more widespread eco-friendly mindset.
Yet, civic authorities are wary of expanding the pond to the residents' desired dimensions, preferring to stick to the proposed 12m in length. Junior engineer of K/W ward, Shubhada Joshi who is overlooking the expansion, said any further expansion of the pond might lead to restricted movement of vehicles around it. "The two roads around the artificial pond leads to a dumping ground and a Reliance Power sub-station, both of which require heavy vehicles to pass through," she said. "Measurements have been taken till the boundary of the road, and if we extend it any further, it might obstruct the path of the road. Pond work will commence in July," she finishes.

Learn the Fundamentals of Photography
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Nowadays, however, those words are in danger of being swallowed by the existential void.
Over 90 million digital images are uploaded each day to Instagram alone, which has led some critics to comment on the sensory overload of photographs floating around cyberspace.
Consequently, it's humbling to be sent a reminder of a time when photography was a much more laborious – but some would argue more valuable – process.

Why won't Online Banking let me transfer money out of my savings account?
Federal Regulation D restricts the number of electronic transfers that can be made out of a savings account to six per calendar month. Electronic transfers include transfers made using Dort Online and Dort by Phone, transfers made out savings to cover an overdraft, and electronic payments/transfers set up with outside companies. Once you have made six electronic transfers out of a savings account in a calendar month, the only way you can make a transfer is to do it in person at one of our offices or at an ATM. This transfer limit does not apply to transfers made into a savings account or transfers made into and out of a share draft/checking account.

Editorial Note
THE CURRENT number of Social Scientist is devoted to a discussion of Edward Said's work Orientalism and of themes thrown up by it. Many readers may ask : why devote a whole issue of the journal to a topic which is both esoteric, as well as, for most of us, fairly opaque ? Our answer is that Said's work has a wider relevance than merely for the narrow circle of scholars interested in the theme of orientalism per se ; not surprisingly, it has already generated a considerable amount of debate in several circles. Since we believe that one of our major tasks is to bring to our renders a whiff of contemporary debates on influential pieces of writing, devoting a whole issue of the journal to the debate around Said's book seems eminently worthwhile.
The importance of Said's work is dt two distinct levels. At one level it touches on crucial aspects of the relationship between imperialism and culture. It is a reinterpretation of the epistemological projections of nineteenth century Orientalist texts, in the course of which Said both unravels the systematic production of a "discourse" identified as Orientalism, and shows its links with the process of European imperialist subjugation of other societies. At another level. Said raises questions both wider and more general. His perception of "texts" as springing from a will-to-power, his emphasis that "discourse" is produced, that it is "at once controlled, selected, organised and redistributed according to a certain number of procedures", his assertion that fields and disciplines emerge not as a "natural" phenomenon but as a result of selections, prohibitions and sanctions, his view of the interdependence between power and knowledge, and his endorsement of the "adversary" role of the intellectual "within his discipline and its institutional supports", are all indicative obviously of a general epistemological stance which is important in its own right and deserves serious attention.
The lead article by Rashmi Bhatnagar discusses the relationship between Said and Foucault. While Said's debt to Poucault is significant, is admitted by Said himself, and is most evident in his use of "Foucauldian" concepts like "discourse", it is the points of difference between the two which deserve particular notice. The contrast between Foucault's anti-humanism which goes with his exclusively theoretical activism, and Said's self-styled humanism and opting for an "interventionist critical practice" derives according to the paper from" their respective historical positions,

The definition in the example exports partition /dev/wd0i to the created domain, allows write acces and makes it show up as an IDE device, the only information parsed out of hda1 for NetBSD domains is that it's an IDE device (using sda1 would make it show up as a SCSI device). Also the order in which the partitions are listed matters. In a NetBSD domain, each exported partition will show up as a separate disk. For the example this means that partition wd0a will show up as device wd0 with partitions wd0a and wd0d (like any disk without as disklabel). The cmdline_extra's bootdev=wd0a makes the created domain use its wd0a device as root device.

Braves complete sweep behind Medlen
ATLANTA -- In his last start, Kris Medlen complained that he was removed from the game too early and not given a chance to pitch out of trouble. Medlen, who later apologized for sounding off to the media, had nothing to complain about Thursday night because he never got in trouble.
Medlen pitched seven scoreless innings and helped the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 win and a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians. The win was Atlanta's 12th sweep of the season and the Braves improved their record to a major-league best 47-18 at home.
Medlen (11-12) ended his two-game losing streak by scattering six hits, striking out six and walking none in a 96-pitch appearance. It was his 17th quality start in 26 outings. No Cleveland player advanced past second base against the right-hander.
"Medlen was terrific, he really was," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He had command from the beginning. All of his pitches were working."
Medlen delivered the third straight impressive start for Atlanta in the series. The Braves allowed only three runs in the three games, two of them by the bullpen, and reduced their magic number to win the National League East to 17.
"The whole series they had the ability to get the big hit and we didn't," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "(Medlen) knows how to pitch. We squared up some balls early and when we'd get runners on he'd begin to throw backwards. He's a pitcher. He knows what he's doing."
Medlen is now 24-3 when he is given a lead.
"Anytime a pitcher is given a lead, you want to stay aggressive," Medlen said. "You want to be aggressive, not let them have anything free and make my pitches."
Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his league-leading 43rd save. Kimbrel converted his 33rd consecutive save opportunity, extending his own club record.
Cleveland's Ubaldo Jimenez (9-9) pitched well but lost his second straight start. Jimenez, who threw a no-hitter against Atlanta at Turner Field in 2010, matched his season high with 10 strikeouts. He scattered seven hits, but one of them was Brian McCann's three-run homer.
"The last two times, whatever the reason, he's seemed to find a little extra gear," Francona said. "He just made a mistake to the wrong guy."
The Indians threatened in the top of the third. Michael Bourn dropped a single into right field with two outs and stole second base but was stranded when Nick Swisher struck out.
McCann got Atlanta on the board in the bottom of the third with a long three-run homer into the right-field seats. It was McCann's 19th home run this season and his first since Aug. 17 against Washington.
"B. Mac capitalized on a huge mistake pitch and I had to take advantage and keep putting zeroes up and the defense played great," Medlen said.
The third inning started when Andrelton Simmons lined a double into the left-field corner. But he was thrown out at third base when Nationals catcher Yan Gomes fielded Medlen's sacrifice bunt quickly and cleanly. After Jordan Schafer struck out, Justin Upton kept the inning alive with a single that hat set up McCann's home run, which put Atlanta ahead 3-0.
Cleveland scored its lone run in the eighth when Lonnie Chisenhall hit his first career pinch-homer off Atlanta reliever David Carpenter. It was Chisenhall's eighth home run of the year.
"We're not hitting right now," said Francona, whose team is 5 1/2 games behind the Tigers entering their three-game series in Detroit. "Once they get to the ballpark, they feel pretty good, which they should."
NOTES: Upton left the game in the fifth inning after being hit by a pitch on the left hand. An X-ray revealed no broken bones and Upton is listed as day to day. ... Cleveland's Jason Kipnis extended his hitting streak to four games for the Indians with a single in the first inning. ... Atlanta gave 1B Freddie Freeman the night off. He had played every game since the All-Star Game. But the night off was short-lived when Upton was hit by a pitch and Freeman was inserted as a pinch runner. ... It was Dragon Con Night at Turner Field with special guests Lou Ferrigno, who starred in the TV series "The Incredible Hulk" from 1978 to 1982, and Lucy Lawless, who starred in "Xena: Warrior Princess" from 1995 to 2001.

Start with a roster that isn't as proven, and nowhere near as deep. The No. 3 quarterback no longer is a guy with over 50 NFL starts on his resume, for example. The offensive line doesn't contain five different tackles with starting NFL experience. Back in the days when those two things were true for the Steelers, so was this:
That was 2010, and those Steelers won their third AFC Championship over a six-season span but lost Super Bowl XLV.
This is 2013 – the start of the third season since then – and today the Steelers have at most six offensive linemen upon whom they can count for consistent above-the-line play. Not one of their wide receivers or running backs ever has been the No. 1 guy at the position as a professional. The defense has finished No. 1 in terms of yards allowed two seasons in a row, but it needs to find some playmakers who can juice a takeaway total that has ranked 31st and then 25th in those same seasons.
There are a lot of ifs for these Steelers at the start of the 2013 NFL season. Some of them have been detailed above, and the rest have been on display at different times during this preseason. What is at issue is whether they have enough other components to overcome their deficiencies in order to be better than whatever similarly flawed bunch they may be playing on a particular weekend.
That's what the NFL has become. It is either a glorious example of the kind of parity that gives all of its teams and all of their fans cause for hope every Labor Day. Or it's a giant pool of mediocrity where luck can be the difference between coaches getting fired or victory parades through the downtown streets.
Actually, it's both, which is what makes it simultaneously compelling to watch and impossible to predict.
And so too should the 2013 Steelers be compelling to watch and impossible to predict. Compelling to watch primarily because they are one of the half-dozen or so teams with a franchise quarterback, and as such are capable of changing the course of a game quickly or stealing it at the end. Franchise quarterbacks can be like erasers, a player who can even things quickly on the scoreboard, and they give their teammates the confidence to keep fighting because there's a difference-maker on their side.
And then there's the issue of the schedule. Or more precisely, the caliber of the teams on that schedule, and what versions of said teams will present themselves to the Steelers come game day.
The 2013 Steelers are a flawed bunch set to enter a meat-grinder where a 10-6 record for one team can be good enough to win the Super Bowl – as it was for the Ravens last year – while for another it's not even good enough to get into the playoffs – as it wasn't for the Bears.
They are a flawed bunch with a franchise quarterback. In other words, compelling to watch and impossible to predict.

Environmental Goods & Services (EGS) News
Tata buyout could clean up Land Rover's CO2 emissions - 9 May 2008
In a joint purchase of Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford for around $2.3bn announced this week, Tata Motors Ltd. of India now has both a premium and a niche vehicle range within its stable. (Incidentally, Ford purchased Jaguar for $2.5bn in 1989 and Land Rover for $2.7bn in 2000).
This could spell some good news for Land Rover, the quintessentially British utilitarian vehicle that has recently seen record sales thanks to its new Discovery 3 and Range Rover Sport. At present, Landy is in a tight spot, with the Tata tie-up possibly solving its biggest problem: CO2. Landy is one of the dirtiest manufacturers on average when we look at vehicle emissions. No surprise really, with supercharged 4.2 litre V8 engines in the Range Rover and archaic diesel clunkers in its stalwart Defender range, Landy is not as green as it needs to be.
But new owners Tata could help change this. Several reasons can be found to predict a drop in Landy's emissions, most of all because they want to. The recently launched LRX concept, set for production sometime soon, was a deliberate attempt by Landy to create a model that will sell in volume and have low emissions – helped by the proposed hybrid propulsion. This will bring down the companies average carbon footprint.
Secondly, Tata will, needless to say, be looking to incorporate some of Landy's mechanicals in its own vehicles (it saves money to share components), requiring some cleaning up of technology to accommodate Tata vehicles in Asian and European markets. Thirdly, any co-development programs will also need to accommodate cleaner technologies to the benefit of both divisions – Europe is getting stricter on cleaning up transportation. Thirdly, any components (especially engines) sent Landy's way from Tata will most likely be cleaner – Tata is already involved in greening its vehicles due to stringent exhaust standards springing up globally.
No guarantees, obviously, but Tata is involved in some heavy duty, commercial and utilitarian vehicle production – it has been for the past 50 years. So there is no reason why it should not utilise Landy in the future. If logic prevails, your next Landy could be much greener than the current crop.
Relevance for South Africa: There is no denying that Landy is a popular brand in South Africa. There is also no denying that these vehicles, all but the newest of the new, belches smoke from every exhaust pipe. The cleaner ones merely burn fuel better, but still use a lot. Fact is, South Africa can benefit from cleaner SUVs, especially in the clogged arteries that are inner-city highways. Cleaner Landy's heading South Africa's way will be welcomed.
Oh, and if Tata starts incorporating some Landy technology into its own vehicles, robust off-road ability at an affordable price might get a boost on the local market.

Jill & Myriam
It's becoming tradition that when Jill is in town we meet up for coffee, and if her and Myriam are up for it, we'll shoot some pictures for StitchUp. This time around Jill was back for an early Christmas visit and to teach some workshops.
We decided to head for Fixed so Myriam could grab a bite to keep herself busy while I fussed over the pictures.
Jill's a very colourful person, and even though her outfit is otherwise stark, the floral print brings that colour through. Even with the darks, the softness of the boots contrasts really well against the patterned leather skirt and jacket.
Little Myriam is again dressed to impress with her little moccasin-style boots, pair of jeans, frilly white blouse, and a pink sweater with some remarkable, fun detailing.

Do you do this? If so, what and how much?
Wife and I were discussing last night what is expected and/or appropriate.
What about the garbage pickup guys?
Do you do this? If so, what and how much?
Wife and I were discussing last night what is expected and/or appropriate.
What about the garbage pickup guys?
I give $20 to the paper guy, and I give the trash folks gatorades twice a week in the summertime (on really hot days, I will give them a 10 for some beer or whatever they want to use it for)
We have one of those community boxes down the street...I don't even know what my letter carrier looks like.
I believe Curb Your Enthusiasm had an episode about holiday tipping. You'll find all your answers there.
My dad was a Mail Carrier for years. Majority of people don't give anything, He would still get a lot of gift cards and baked goods by the end of christmas. Some people would give cash inside of a card. Typically, gift cards would be anywhere between $10 and $25. Some of the businesses on his route would sometimes give $100 gift cards to their own store. So it really depends.
Oh and don't be poor.
We do lots of online shopping and we give our UPS/FEDEx/Mailperson the same thing we give our families....treats.
When we had the same girl she'd get like hat/scarves, maybe a fleece blanket along with baked stuff. Now that we've a toss on the end of someone different everyday nothing. The trash and recycle guys get baked goods and gloves. It's the only time of the year they brong the cans up to the garage as opposed to leaving them in the street or wherever.
I remember this one time when I came home early from school and just as I got to the door, the mailman came out of our house with a big smile on his face. He tousled my hair and walked away on his route with a spring in his step. I asked mom what that was all about, and she just said he must have really enjoyed his Christmas present.
You all should give me gifts for doing my job...
People bring all kinds of treats to the station during the holidays. We get everything ranging from pies, cookies, brownies, See's candy, peanut brittle, banana nut bread, and fudge to beer, wine, Bailey's and other hard alcohol gift packs. I often re-gift items to the newspaper guy and garbage dude...
Love See's candy. I can get it at Rice Epicurean now, but we always loaded up when we went to California.
I'm not going to tip someone for doing a job where tips aren't implied.
**** that.. they get paid to do the job... it's not like they walk around with a tip jar hanging off their hip.
What the **** is a newspaper?
bounce's wife gives the mailman a family picture.
Bounce and David recommend
You still buy newspapers?
I think technically they aren't supposed to accept cash. But my dad always got fudge, cookies, etc. and I'd imagine gift cards these days would be awesome to get.
