Time for another Saturday Night Genealogy Fun from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings. Yeah, I'm late again. One of those weekends...
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) If you have your family tree research in a Genealogy Management Program (GMP), whether a computer software program or an online family tree, figure out how to find how many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database (hint: the Help button is your friend!).
2) Tell us which GMP you use, and how many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database(s) today in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook status or Google+ stream comment.
Here's mine:
I use MyHeritage Family Tree Builder as my main GMP. It states that I currently have 5,977 people in 1,712 families in my database. That said, I did some quick consistency checking, and found I have a numbe rof duplicated entries, mostly from a single family. I'll have to figure out where I messed up and clean out the duplicates, but this will only remove less than a dozen people.
The Maps tool tells me I have 1,695 places noted in my database, though I'm pretty sure there are a few duplications or variant spellings despite my best efforts to keep that cleaned up.
The Sources view tells me I have only 232 items listed, which tells you where my genealogy shortcomings are worst - citing my data sources. I know it, and I'm working to improve this area more than I'm working to extend my lines at present, as I know this area is deficient. Would it surprise you to know I don't own a copy of Elizabeth Shown Mills' Evidence Explained?

Leading Authority on Violence in Contemporary Society Speaks at Mount Union
April 13, 2010
Former director of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program, coiner of the phrase "serial killer" and international best-selling author Robert Ressler spoke at Mount Union College Thursday, September 25.
Robert Ressler
Ressler, considered the world's leading authority on violence in contemporary society, is the acknowledged true-life hero of the movie "Silence of the Lambs." The hit television series "The X-Files" was inspired by Ressler's work at the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit.
Ressler, who spent 20 years working for the FBI, discussed the investigations of some of the most notorious serial killers, including Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz, many of which he was able to interview in prison. These interviews have helped him in the process of learning about the criminal mind.
As a child, Ressler remembers playing detective with neighborhood friends. "I am still playing this game today," said Ressler, who encouraged the students to find careers where they find similar fulfillment.
Ressler is the author of the international best seller Whoever Fights Monsters and Justice is Served, as well as, his most recent book, I Have Lived in the Monster.
Ressler referred to a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche, which he remembered frequently during his many investigations. Even now, this quote chills me," said Ressler. "Nietzsche said, ?Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.'"

Although MVS and I took different routes on our ascents, I think we joined the same route at some point because his description of the 5.10 boulder move and the pitches following sound very much like the terrain we climbed to exit the 4th class ledge and gain the ridge crest. From the route we took, it looked like the only viable option. It was kind of sketchy because the belay anchors were two small pieces placed far apart and there were a few unprotected, insecure moves before able to reach high to place a cam in a horizontal crack. After that a crack (I remember a diehedral at some point) offers good protection and more secure climbing. That said, there is route latitude on the buttress and one can gain the ridge crest before the start of the 4th class ledge, although it might not be any easier to continue along the buttress crest.

to return back to the flock to receive your iMessages again.
Nope, Turn off iMessage on the iDevice before wiping or tossing. Been there, done that.
What if you're tossing it because it completely crapped out on you and, thus, you can't change anything?
Go to the website and do it there?
Samsung has a nice right up on how to resolve the problem using any number of methods:
http://www.samsung.com/us/supp... [samsung.com]
Have you people not heard of Google?
I wonder why Apple tech support don't just direct people to that site?
Apple tech support has plenty of similar pages on apple's own web page. The whole article is FUD, and it's FUD that I've seen at least 3 times before on slashdot.
Yes here it is, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS... [apple.com], basically deactivate iMessage (as long as you have a iphone) and of course a list of things that don't work. As well as of course contacting Apple Support which is free 'er' as long as "Most Apple products come with 90 days of complimentary phone support and a one-year limited warranty. We recommend that you check your coverage before contacting us." otherwise you have to pay for it sucka, mwah ha ha. So yeah, basically a big ole bag of dicks move by Apple. What should happen, the crap arse iMessage service should be able to recognised when the recipient has not has not received the message and notify the sender accordingly with the option of sending an SMS, not target the ex user with bill from Apple 'EX'-Customer Support.
That's actually what does happen by default. If iMessage fails to send for any reason and there is an associated phone number an iPhone will use SMS.
"Nice little Samsung phone you have there, kid. Shame if your messages to iPhones all get lost."
"Nice little Samsung phone you have there, kid. Shame if your messages to iPhones all get lost."
Why do I hear this in the voice of Joe Pesci?
It seems that a made man from Apple had mod points.
"Nice fucking huge Samsung phone you have there, kid. Shame if your messages to iPhones all get lost."
For 99% of cases, that's exactly what happens. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug where in some cases that doesn't happen, and iMessage continues to try routing the SMS to the old iDevice, even though it's no longer valid. The bug was actually reported here back in February [slashdot.org] (making this story a dupe).
Seems one just needs to deactivate iMessage before getting rid of their device.
It would be awesome if cell phone salespeople would be aware of that and help their customers who are switching platforms.
Help them switch AWAY FROM Apple?
That's like expecting help from your priest when you tell him you're going to convert to Islam!
No, it's actually nothing like that. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I can only assume you're imagining this happening in an Apple store. But it's not. Because Apple doesn't sell Android devices. It's happening at non-denominational cell phone stores and resellers.
Ok, this is stupid.
I recently switched from iPhone, and had text messages still going to my iPad. A simple google search revealed pages like:
And many other such solutions.
That requires having or borrowing an iphone or ipad (Basically, go to settings, iMessage, login with you apple id then tell it not to use iMessage for your phone number).
According to:
You can call 1-800-MY-APPLE and have them do it.
The question is why you can't do this via web login. Or why it doesn't check if user hasn't used an iDevice for long enough.
it's similar to the far more annoying issue in the google play store where you can't control you region and sometimes gets region locked to a region you are no longer in. So when I bought my phone and went abroad for a trip, the play store bound itself to that country and when I came back refused to unbind, even going as far to wipe the phone, wipe all address and credit card info in google wallet, and reconnect.
Instead it took a week of back and forth with google help for them to just change a setting in the background that force bound my phone to the country I wanted. Of course, now that I have moved to a different country, I have another host of issues I'll have to go through this again.
Both systems have idiotic limitations, for no good reason (and no, limiting which store I bind myself to based on copyright restrictions on a limited portion of the store is foolish, that should be at the app level with a quick IP address location check).
Oddly, this is one of the best parts of the apple store. I can freely rebind myself to any store I want, regardless of my current IP. I just need a method of payment valid for that country and have no balance in my account.
That requires having or borrowing an iphone or ipad (Basically, go to settings, iMessage, login with you apple id then tell it not to use iMessage for your phone number).
Ok, and what happens when that doesn't work?
Because while that solves it for most people, it doesn't solve it for everyone. Believe it or not, there is an actual bug somewhere preventing that from "just working" for everyone.
Not sure if this works but the easy fix seems to be that you change your Apple password. Then the iMessage app can't authenticate and dumps your messages back to SMS.
IIRC this is actually an issue with the sending devices not being aware that the target contact no longer has iMessage enabled.
It's trickier than it seems because iMessage will route to your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. It doesn't know if you just haven't signed in recently or if you're gone forever. If I read a message on my Mac, it is a successful delivery, even if I tossed my iPhone in a lake and swore off cell phones forever.
Apple should add a portal to manage this on icloud.com so you can see all your devices and enable/disable them from iMessage. Then the iMessage servers should reply when a device certificate is used that is disabled or deleted, causing the sending device to update its records.
Remember - Apple acts as a key exchange system but the actual private keys only exist on individual devices; the sending device re-encrypts the message for each recipient.
It doesn't know if you just haven't signed in recently or if you're gone forever.
here you go. send as a text if no imessage connection has been established for a day. re-send as text if message can't be delivered via imessage for a day.
this still sucks, because there will be a day where you don't get imessages, but at least they'd come eventually and would be fixed thereafter.
That would work if someone has a iPhone and switch to an Android phone without any other devices as a possible iMessage receiver.
User S, the sender has an iPhone.
User R, the receiver had an iPhone but now has an Android phone. He also has an iMac.
S goes into his iMessage on his iPhone and wants to send R a message. The iMessage app goes out to Apple's servers with R's phone number and gets a reply back saying the iMessage path is preferred. The message goes out over iMessage and receipt is acknowledged (by
iMessage was a fix to a price issue, a political issue, and a control issue.
If cell phone companies weren't charging so much for something that should be free Apple would have had less incentive to come up with a solution that worked around them.
We should have extended sms/mms to include encryption and for it to be free worldwide. Instead we get a bunch of solutions that don't work with one another.
If cell phone companies weren't charging so much for something that should be free Apple would have had less incentive to come up with a solution that worked around them.
so you think apple is some savior from on high that is working night and day to save you money?
apple's interest in routing through imessage is tying users to their services and not generic text messages that are portable across any device.
That's why I don't have an iPhone.
Do I win?
First they lock you in, then they lock you out...
My wife broke her iPhone so she switched back to her old non-iPhone until we could afford a new one. I kept seeing similar issues where my iPhone would insist using iMessage for her number and would hang trying to send a text. Solution was to tap and hold on the message, after hitting send, and select send as text message. It would keep sending as a text for a while but I'd have to eventually "remind" it when it would forget.
This "bug" almost got my buddy arrested. Apple needs to take this problem seriously before the courts do.
This guy here has posted the answer :
http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... [slashdot.org]
It's been discussed before, it's not the end of the world.
What _IS_ fucking stupid is Google utterly ruined the SMS application for shitty hangouts _AND_ they still haven't cloned / stolen the functionality of iMessage properly. For goodness sakes, just copy Apple already. The Apple solution is how it should work, attempt IP based message, if it fails revert to SMS
Hangouts is an abortion, honestly as someone who switch to Android 3 years ago now, I'm really getting tired of Google focusing on un-important shit and worrying about uglifying things than improving stuff.
Lavish spending can be disastrous. Don't buy any lavishes for a while.

Additionally, the VIXIA HF M300 allows you to capture 30 photos from one second of video. And in addition to all that your VIXIA HF M300's built-in flash lets you capture superb photos indoors and in low light conditions Auto Intelligent Auto Focus Auto Intelligent Auto Focus, AiAF, ensures sharp images and gives creative flexibility. Even when your subject isn't in the center of the frame, the VIXIA HF M300's 9-Point AiAF will automatically select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus Selectable Metering Patterns For optimal still image exposure, the VIXIA HF M300 offers selectable metering patterns: Evaluative, Center-Weighted Average, and Spot AE Bracketing Feature The AE Bracketing feature of the VIXIA HF M300 automatically takes three versions of the shot, with 'dark,' 'normal', and 'light' settings in 1/2 exposure steps so you may choose the one that best suits you Histogram Display For the advanced digital photographer, the VIXIA HF M300 comes with a Histogram Display - a feature found in Canon's line of digital SLR cameras. The display allows you to see the brightness information of your still images, so you can adjust your exposures as you shoot Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization with Powered IS The VIXIA HF M300 features Canon's proprietary Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization which provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion. Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted shaking which is common when walking. Together with Powered IS you'll find an even higher level of compensation for subtle hand movement at the telephoto end of the zoom range. Powered IS can be engaged by pressing or holding the Powered IS button on the touch panel LCD Instant AF The VIXIA HF M300 camcorder features Canon's Instant AF focusing system which offers an improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional auto focus systems). The Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon's auto focus system, to help significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus, even in low light conditions. This system achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus "hunting." This is especially beneficial in high brightness or night shooting situations. In addition, with Instant AF it's possible to capture fast, accurate focusing, even when following a moving subject. To further enhance focusing capability, the VIXIA HF M300 also features Focus Assist. This helps in capturing your subject in razor-sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject, which is automatically cancelled when you start recording Smart Auto Smart Auto makes shooting great video easy. Using the power of Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor, the VIXIA HF M300 intelligently detects and analyzes faces, brightness, color, distance, and movement, then automatically selects the best settings for the scene Touch & Track Touch and Track delivers precise tracking of the focus and exposure on any subject: people, pets, vehicles, and more. Simply select your point of interest on the Touch Panel LCD and you will have your subject in sharp focus regardless of where in the frame it moves during the shot. Touch & Track is the default setting. You can also choose to adjust focus or exposure independently by turning off Touch & Track, and turning on Touch Focus or Touch Exposure Genuine Canon Face Detection The same Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is available in the VIXIA HF M300 high definition camcorder. Up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Of the faces tracked, 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time. The system is in fact so smart that it will recognize faces turned downwards or sideways. In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This feature can be used to search for clips featuring that specific subject's face. In search and playback, use of the Face Index will display frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail in each shot in which it appears. The selected face can be linked as a timeline to further identify footage containing that subject Advanced Video Snapshot Advanced Video Snapshot allows you to capture the highlights of your adventures with the same ease as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips - or select your favorite clips while in Playback Mode - and blend in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie that will grab everyone's attention. This version of Advanced Video Snapshot allows selectable recording time (2, 4, or 8 seconds). Additionally, audio from an external source such as an MP3 player can be played along with the Snapshot movie, and playback can be controlled from that source 24p & 30p Frame Modes 24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional "film-look." You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. In addition, you can use the VIXIA HF M300's CINE setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added flexibility, these settings can be used together or independently. In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the VIXIA HF M300 to capture video in 30p Progressive Mode, (30 progressive frames, recorded at 60i) which is particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet.

"It'S Different For Girls"
HIGH SCHOOL BLUES -- The attention is focused off the football team for once and onto their biggest supporters - the cheerleaders. As the cheer team prepares for the Championship Classic, word of Lyla (Minka Kelly) and Riggins' (Taylor Kitsch) affair causes Lyla to become the victim of brutal high school harassment. Matt (Zach Gilford) and Julie (Aimee Teegarden) also have problems of their own as Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) tries to keep the two of them apart in order to "protect" his daughter. Meanwhile, Jason (Scott Porter) adjusts to life back home after being released from rehab and Smash (Gaius Charles) falls for the preacher's daughter. Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, and Adrianne Palicki also star.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, according to the centers for disease control, and a recent study says at least half of those suicides are related to bullying. That is why a loves park teen is reaching out to victims to try to save lives.
A quick read of this book is all it took for Kallie Johnson to realize she wanted to be part of the solution when it comes to bullying. The character in the book was bullied.
"She just kept saying she didn't have anyone to talk to and she was hurt and she did try to talk to her school counselor but he wasn't understanding what she meant so that made me think, are there other kids that feel the same way who don't have anybody to talk to?," said Johnson.
Johnson finished the book Saturday and three days later, created a support website for victims of bullying.
"There's a box where you can email me and you can talk to me if you just want someone to talk to or want to be a friend."
Kallie also has a list of hotline numbers posted on her website to help those who need it right away, because when you do a general search, many of the hotline numbers that come up, are not in service.
There's also a video on the site where other kids tell their stories and how they overcame bullying.
"Kids can go on my website and say well I know I can go to these websites and I know I can talk to her if I just need a friend."
Johnson has two other friends that help manage the site and respond to people. But, the goal is to expand. Johnson is contacting national media outlets to try to spread the word.
They're also on Facebook and Twitter. You can find them on the web here.

First pitch: Royals launch Hall of Fame website
Buck O'Neil had a unique ability to distill wisdom into just a few words. Yes indeed, Opening Day is always a good day for all of us who love the game of baseball. And for Royals fans the 2012 season is one of great hope, real promise and special significance.
The hope comes as it does for every team each spring with fresh optimism and all the time worn cliches to match. Hope springs eternal. This could be the year. Player X is in the best shape of his career. Pitcher Y has been working on a new pitch. And on it goes.
Buck O'Neil had a unique ability to distill wisdom into just a few words. Yes indeed, Opening Day is always a good day for all of us who love the game of baseball. And for Royals fans the 2012 season is one of great hope, real promise and special significance.
The hope comes as it does for every team each spring with fresh optimism and all the time worn cliches to match. Hope springs eternal. This could be the year. Player X is in the best shape of his career. Pitcher Y has been working on a new pitch. And on it goes.
Spring Training is Spring Training and there is no doubt that the regular season is something quite different. But the beauty of the spring is how it so often sets a hopeful stage for the long season ahead. Everything is still possible and nobody knows the surprises, heartaches and even the oddities the late spring, summer and fall will bring.
The promise for Royals fans comes from what we got a small glimpse of last year. At the start of 2011, all the talk about the Royals was the nearly unanimous opinion around the game -- and in the media -- that Kansas City had the best Minor League system in baseball. All that talk started to turn into actual Major League players from the very first game of the season.
Three pitchers -- Aaron Crow, Nate Adcock and Tim Collins -- made their Major League debuts on Opening Day, and they were just the start. Eric Hosmer debuted in May and battled for American League Rookie of the Year honors. Mike Moustakas made the big league jump in June and tied a Royals rookie record with his 15-game hitting streak from Aug. 17 through Sept. 1.
And that wasn't even half the story as 2011 was the rookie campaign for a full dozen Royals. Their success began the transformation from Minor League talk to big league reality.
The special significance is undoubtedly the return of the Major League All-Star Game to Kansas City. It has been 39 years since the game's brightest stars gathered here in America's heartland and later this summer Ron Santo will become the 22nd National Baseball Hall of Famer to have taken the field that night at Royals Stadium. Think about that for a moment.
There are 207 players in the Hall of Fame and 18 of them were on the 1973 All-Star teams. Only 19 mangers are in the Hall of Fame and three of them were part of the 1973 All-Star Game (both managers, one coach). Even one of the nine Hall of Fame umpires was behind the plate that night. And that roster still does not yet include baseball's all-time hits leader, one Peter Edward Rose (who knows if it ever will either).
Willie Mays in his 24th and final All-Star appearance; Henry Aaron; Joe Morgan; Billy Williams; Johnny Bench; Ron Santo; Willie Stargell; Tom Seaver; Don Sutton; Rod Carew; Reggie Jackson; Carlton Fisk; Brooks Robinson; Catfish Hunter; Carl Yastrzemski; Bert Blyleven; Rollie Fingers; Nolan Ryan; Dick Williams; Sparky Anderson; Whitey Herzog and Nestor Chylak.
If this year can come close to that kind of star power we might not even need to turn on the lights at Kauffman Stadium -- they'll fire on the electricity of the ballpark alone.
Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby once said, "People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
Well, Rogers, the wait is over once again. It's time for baseball to take center stage.
"Why Time Begins On Opening Day" is the title of book by baseball author Thomas Boswell. I've always liked that title because as a baseball fan it does seem that time begins anew with each Opening Day. The winter is over, spring is here and baseball is back.
Last Opening Day Alex Gordon was beginning the season at a brand new position. Now he is a reigning Gold Glove winner. Last Opening Day Eric Hosmer was looking forward to his first game at Triple-A Omaha. Now, he is on the field for his first Major League Opening Day.
And last Opening Day, it had been 13,764 days since Royals Stadium hosted the 1973 All-Star Game. Now, we are only 95 days from the baseball world returning to Kansas City for the 83rd Midsummer Classic here at 'The K.'
As Buck would still say today, "Opening Day is always a good day... Mmmm hmmm."
Opening Day 1969: Kansas City had been without professional baseball in 1968 for the first time since 1884. The A's move had come to be expected but would have hurt much more without the excitement of a new team on the horizon. The Royals took the field at Municipal Stadium with Kansas City confident they finally had 'their' team. The Royals beat Minnesota, 4-2, in 12 innings.
Opening Day 1977: Coming off the Royals first divisional championship, the 1977 club went right back to work in Detroit. Three batters into the game Kansas City was already up 2-0 after a George Brett leadoff single and an Amos Otis home run. Paul Splittorff pitched the Royals to a 7-4 win -- No. 1 of a club record 102 victories.
Opening Day 1985: Willie Wilson's seventh-inning two-run double scored Daryl Motley and Onix Concepcion, powering a 2-1 win in Toronto. Bud Black and Dan Quisenberry held the Blue Jays to five hits and the 1985 Royals' journey began. The come-from-behind victory foreshadowed others that October en route to the World Series championship.
Opening Day 1995: Kevin Appier held the Orioles scoreless through the first six innings by which time the Royals had posted a three-run lead. Jeff Montgomery slammed the door with two ninth-inning strikeouts. The game was a whole new world for Kauffman Stadium as the first played here on natural grass.
Opening Day 2003: Three Royals pitchers, Runelvys Hernandez, Jason Grimsley and Mike MacDougal, combine to shut out the White Sox on just three hits. The Royals win, 3-0, to start the season. They complete the homestand by sweeping Chicago and Cleveland, then taking the first four on the road for a club record 9-0 start.
Opening Day 2012: Here we go ...

Blackburn need experienced manager to push for promotion to Premier League, says Phil Brown
Phil Brown told Goals on Sunday that "fantastic club" Blackburn need to appoint a proven manager.
Last Updated: 06/01/13 2:20pm
Rovers are looking for a new manager following the dismissal of Henning Berg last week - the Norwegian axed after accruing just a solitary win from his 10 games at the helm.
The Lancashire outfit, relegated from the Premier League last term, sit 13th in the Championship, five points adrift of the top six.
But Brown, who guided Hull into the top flight at the end of the 2007-08 season, believes Rovers can flourish if they appoint someone with proven management ability.
"Blackburn, which is 10 minutes away from where I live, is a fantastic football club," said Brown. "They have got a great squad for a start and have a goalscorer in Jordan Rhodes, who they paid £8million for to get from Huddersfield.
"The Venky's (Blackburn's owners) have intimated that they are looking for a coach, but I think they need a manager to run things footballing-wise, to back up the great strides being made business-wise."
Brown departed Preston last winter with the club struggling in League One, while he was also sacked from his first managerial gig at Derby after just seven months in the hotseat.
But the 53-year-old, assistant to Sam Allardyce when Bolton were flying high in the Premier League, believes he is now a better manager for his tough times in the dugout.
"In the interviews I have had recently I am always asked about the negative parts of my career, and you do learn more from losing than you do from winning," said Brown, a former right-back for Hartlepool, Halifax, Bolton and Blackpool.
"Winning is the icing on the cake - and I have had three promotions in my time as a coach, assistant manager and manager - but I gleaned an awful amount of management acumen from my time at Derby and Preston when I was working in difficult situations.
"However, going into the Premier League and surviving, which I did at Hull, requires a different type of management and is a terrific achievement.
"It doesn't get you a trophy, but it is a great thing to have on your CV and something you can take forward with you."
Brendan Rodgers guided Swansea to Premier League safety last season and was subsequently snared by Liverpool, inking a three-year deal in June.
But former Anfield favourite Dietmar Hamann feels it could be a while before the Ulsterman leads the five-time European Cup winners back into the Champions League.
"Liverpool have got quite a few points to make up on top four-chasing teams like Everton, Arsenal and a Spurs side who have a fantastic squad and want to bring players in in January," said Hamann.
"So I don't think they will get in the top four this season, but it is vital they get momentum and in the habit of winning games in the second half of the season.
"Brendan had done well since he has been in there but Liverpool are three or four quality player shorts in forward areas as they rely too heavily Raheem Sterling and Suso.
"Daniel Sturridge has come in but I would have liked to see another experienced striker or winger come in; Theo Walcott would have been perfect, but I think he will stay at Arsenal now."

Human beings are social creatures, shaped and in some ways defined by their interactions. Sociology is the study of that process. It explores patterns of social life and examines the ways in which social structures and cultures influence our personalities, families, attitudes, behavior, work, leisure — our very identities. Sociology at Hamilton is a rigorous but creative program in which accomplished professors and engaged students work closely together on a broad range of topics. In sociology, you can study politics, economics, religion, sex, race, power, ethics, history, mathematics and just about anything else involving human beings.
Sociologists ask, for example, how our lives are affected by our positions on the social and economic class structure, or how and why society creates and maintains gender roles. Does technology isolate us or bring us closer together? How can groups and organizations encourage ethical behavior?
Sociology majors learn to conduct and assess many types of social research. They receive instruction in both the methodology of research and the theoretical debates and principles that make social inquiry vital to human understanding. And they are trained to write and speak effectively to a variety of different audiences.

Agents with the N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement Division allege they broke up an illegal alcohol sales and gambling operation this past month and charged an employee of Allied Veterans of the World Post 9 with operating it, according to court documents.
Agents with the N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement Division allege they broke up an illegal alcohol sales and gambling operation this past month and charged an employee of Allied Veterans of the World Post 9 with operating it, according to court documents.
The ALE on Feb. 1 received complaints of employees selling alcoholic beverages without an ABC permit and possession of spirituous liquor at Allied Veterans of the World at 1200 Piedmont Drive, according to the search warrant. ALE Special Agent Stephen Abernathy wrote that he made a check of the N.C. ABC Commission for 1200 Piedmont Drive and found no ABC permits were issued for the address.
Abernathy and two other agents went to Allied Veterans of the World on Feb. 20 to make a check and knocked on the back door of the location, at which time an unidentified female employee opened the door of the location, according to the search warrant. Abernathy and the two other agents had a clear view of inside the location and observed a bar and approximately four bottles of spirituous liquor displayed on a shelf behind the bar.
"I observed approximately three patrons sitting inside the bar, consuming cans of malt beverages," Abernathy stated in the search warrant.
At 3:28 p.m. Feb. 21, agents executed the search warrant, and Abernathy alleges he found an employee, Ginger Reynolds, operating the bar. Alcoholic beverages, according to the search warrant, which were used for the purpose of sale and illegal gambling devices, were found at the post.
"This location was being used to illegally sell alcoholic beverages and operate illegal gambling devices," Abernathy wrote.
Agents learned through Reynolds that Kelly and Bernard Black were the owners and operators of Allied Veterans of the World Post 9, and she received tips for her service, according to the search warrant. The employee advised agents malt beverages were sold for $2 each and spirituous liquor was sold, varying in price, from $2 to $3. The Blacks conducted and handled all business operations, Reynolds told the agents.
"Ginger Reynolds advised she wanted to speak with (a) lawyer before giving any phone numbers for Kelly and Bernard Black," Abernathy stated.
Reynolds contacted attorney Jerry Grimes. She then told agents that she was not giving the phone numbers for the owners or her phone to law enforcement. Reynolds explained to the agents that her attorney told her the phone was personal property and law enforcement would have to obtain a search warrant for the cell phone to gain access to the information. With already having the search warrant, Special Agent Chris Poole seized the phone from Reynolds.
Grimes arrived at Allied Veterans of the World Post 9 and told agents he also was a member of the organization and attended the location as a patron, the warrant said. Agents asked Grimes a series of questions, and Grimes told one of them that he did have to answer the questions.
"Jerry Grimes spoke with Ginger Reynolds in private," Abernathy wrote. "Jerry Grimes advised (a special agent) the City of Lexington would not annex 1200 Piedmont Drive … into the city limits because the cost of water lines being installed."
Allied Veterans of the World Post 9 is located just outside of the northeastern city limits of Lexington. The organization is located in the county. Alcohol sales are prohibited in Davidson County's unincorporated areas.
Reynolds was charged with possessing gambling devices, operating an illegal slot machine, operating a game of chance and possessing alcoholic beverages for sale without first obtaining the applicable ABC permit and revenue license. She has a court date of March 27.
According to court documents, agents seized about $800 in alcohol and more than $900 in cash from the organization.
Abernathy and the owners of Allied Veterans of the World Post 9 could not be reached for comment Monday. Grimes declined to comment.
Darrick Ignasiak can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 217, or at email@example.com.

can anyone send me C program for Caesar Cipher model?
Thanks a lot in advance
read the policy on homework and such.
This one is ultra simple, however, so I will get you started. The Caesar Cipher just shifts the same amount each time. Like, A becomes B, B becomes C, etc. if you shifted by 1 each time. Meanwhile the modulus operator, %, you should understand what this operator does, it will help.
so all you really need is to iterate over each character and shift it with a modulo.
For example:
shift = 3;
for(x = 0; x < all_the_characters; x++)
astring[x] = (astring[x]+shift) % 256; ///this one just wraps the ascii table. You can also use % to wrap within the printable characters if you prefer it.
Note that this is very, very poor encryption: a 10 year old can break the code in about 30 seconds. Consider something at least moderately difficult to solve, such as xor each byte with a random number from a known random number sequence.

Contempt moves over Bulger killers
Contempt proceedings are to be brought against a number of people who posted photos claiming to show James Bulger's killers Jon Venables or Robert Thompson on the internet, the Attorney General said today.
Venables was 10 when he and classmate Thompson abducted and murdered two-year-old James in Liverpool in February 1993.
Images recently appeared on the social network site Twitter claiming to show an adult Venables, who was released from jail on licence with a new identity in 2001.
The Attorney General said court papers will be served shortly to bring contempt proceedings against those who posted the pictures, which have since been taken down.
Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, of the High Court Family Division, made an unprecedented court order banning publication of any information which could lead to the revelation of their new identities.
A statement from the Attorney General's Office said: "The terms of the order mean that if a picture claims to be of Venables or Thompson, even if it is not actually them, there will be a breach of the order.
"Providing details of the new identities of Venables and Thompson or their whereabouts is also prohibited - this order applies to material which is on the internet.
"There are many different images circulating online claiming to be of Venables or Thompson - potentially innocent individuals may be wrongly identified as being one of the two men and placed in danger.
"The order, and its enforcement, is therefore intended to protect not only Venables and Thompson but also those members of the public who have been incorrectly identified as being one of the two men."
Breaches of the order may be a contempt of court punishable by a jail sentence or fine, the statement said.
Venables, now 30, had his parole revoked in 2010 and was jailed for two years after admitting downloading and distributing indecent images of children.
James's mother Denise Fergus, has always opposed the injunction, fearing it could lead to innocent men being accused of being James's killers.
Venables and Thompson abducted James from the Bootle Strand shopping centre in Merseyside before torturing and killing him.
His body was found two days later by children playing on a freight railway line.

WHEN I TAKE TESTO ENANTHATE ...man i got horny in few days...so i don know how its NEED so long..
Hey whats up guys. I know it usually takes about 3-4 weeks for Test E to kick in but still this is odd as fook.
Firstly I'd like to state that I decided this time around to give GP a try and that is what I'm taking.
Usually when I take testosterone enanth within the first week I start feeling libido increase and my hair thins and starts falling out. Atleast I know that has happened
with my last couple of cycles.
So here is the cycle:
01-03 GP oxy, Anadrol 50 (25mgs first week, then 50mg spread twice a day)
01-15 350mg GP test E (spread monday and thursdays)
02-12 250mg GP Deca (spread monday and thursdays) Only for joint lubrication
02-12 400mg GP bold, EQ (spread monday and thursdays)
01-15 GP anastrozole, arimidex 0.5 (monday and thursdays)
My goal was to blow up in the begining of the cycle with the anadrol and then lean out towards the end of the cycle for the summer. The deca is there because I get bad joint pain.
Started Anadrol on monday and Within 3-5 days of taking at only 25mg my blood presssure was through the roof, I was getting horrible shakes and electric sensations running through my body. To top that off my stomach started killing me and I had bad Diarrhea. Stopped the Anadrol as I didnt find any of this to be worth it.
The next thing I noticed was that my darn head was pounding my throat is red and sore as hell, my ears clogged and I'am coughing. To top if off the Diarrhea 3 days later (today) is still here. Although
the stomach pain is finally gone or atleast subsiding. I believe however I was getting some seasonal allergy signs prior to starting this, like sneezing and runny nose though. So could just be my allergy's finally going hard. Perhaps I'll go get me some allergy medicine and see if it helps.
The Test E which I took half on monday and again on thursday seems to not be doing much. To tell you the truth I have absolutely no sex drive right now to the point where its quite depressing. I wake up limp as fook and continue that way the whole day. I also notice and this strikes me as a bit odd, is that my hair doesnt seem to be shedding at all. Which makes no darn sense. My hair has actually gotten thicker and usually there is a reasonable
amount of hair that falls out in the shower, now there is none at all. Thicker hair WTF? (Not that I'm complaining but usually this would make no sense if the gear is legit) I know Test E takes a while
to kick in but I'm just basing this on my usual experience with Test E in the first week. The strength gains for me usually come on week 3-4 and shyte gets real after that. But no libido? thicker Hair?
My question is, what in the fook is going on? Is the GP Test E legit? Could the Anti E be the problem? Could it be too much or too little?
Could I have had a bad reaction to the Anadrol? I'm not yellow so I'm sure it hasnt caused any severe liver damage, perhaps an allergic reaction or something? Perhaps The Test E is taking
a while to circulate and at the moment I'm shut down bad from the anadrol? Help me out here lol.
Should I just go ahead and continue the cycle minus the anadrol? 2moro I was going to add the EQ and deca.
Going to the doc for a checkup probably towards the end of next week.
In the meen time I'm probably going to take some tylenol and allergy medicine to see if it helps out with this cold, Or do you think this is a bad idea?
Perhaps I'm just being paranoid. I havent had this reaction before.
The Batch number for the GP Test E I got is: GP843F If anyone has this batch and is taking it let me know if it is working for you. Perhaps I just got a bad batch, maybe underdosed. I'll up the Test E if need be. I know its too early to tell if it is legit its just bells are ringing from the collective reactions I'm getting. Has me paranoid.
I'm down about 8lbs on a count of this, so I really em counting on things turning around >.<
WHEN I TAKE TESTO ENANTHATE ...man i got horny in few days...so i don know how its NEED so long..
AND WITH CYCLE YOU POST..i can add 10 lbs in 2 weeks or even mroe if gear is good..and anadrol..omfg..its must give you big gains for sure.
And for your other comment, I dropped the anadrol so I would not be expecting any weight increase for atleast 5-6 weeks, dont care about that at the moment. My question is what do you think the reaction is
and should I continue or perhaps change something in my cycle? If you have any good feed back it would be appreciated. Getting as sick as I'am right now of course I would draw some caution. I'm not saying GP is bad I'am simply stating my current condition. Do you think taking Anti histamines and tylenol for my cold is a good idea? I want to get my ass back in the gym 2moro regardless of wether I'm sick or not, but anything to help would be appreciated. Thank you.
anadrol can always make stomach problems for sure..just stop it!
for testo enan i need at least 2weeks to start kick in
[QUOTE=Grozny;3260075]for testo enan i need at least 2weeks to start kick in[/QUOTE
Thanks man. Is there any test I can do to see if I'm possible allergic to the oil the lab uses? Do you know what oil GP uses? My throat has gotten a bit worse, have canker sores on the back of it with phlegm esc, and coughing with clogged ears. I doubt its the oil but its better safe then sorry. I'm going to do Test E, EQ and deca today so would like to check before I do it. I'm going to my doc in about 3-4 hours he's probably going to take some blood. Would the Test E show up on my blood work this early in? I only did about 300mgs half on monday and half thursday.
Darn doc wouldent take my test or estrogen levels. He only took metabolism, liver and auto deficiency tests. He said he'll take it when everything is out of my system. Anyone know of a lab I can use to take blood while on? Blood pressure came out ok, 131 over 67 my pulse was pretty high though, but Iam sick and ran up a flight of stairs before I took it. He put me on Claritin-D and azithromycin 500mg (anti-biotic) for the cold. My sex drive seems to be coming back slow but steady and I took the Test,EQ,deca so I'll see how I feel by next week. Gonna try and hit the gym light today just to get some blood moving.

Greece - the first thorn in Hollande's side
Has Greece already ruined François Hollande's chances of building a European policy based around growth? And is the right-wing UMP party going to fall apart in the upcoming parliamentary elections?
Le Figaro says Hollande's economic policies are suffering a serious reality check from the chaos in Greece - while even Libération recognises he's got his work cut out to create a workable growth policy.
As for the outgoing government, they've got parliamentary elections to worry about - where the UMP will fall apart if last Sunday's voting patterns are repeated, says Le Parisien - and also rumours in Libération that François Fillon and Jean-François Copé are set to tear each other apart for the leadership.

With more people using cell phones, service providers are struggling to keep up with the demand by erecting more cell phone towers.
But towers frequently bring community opposition as an eyesore, spurring companies to find creative ways to disguise them.
A driver cruising up Mount Rose Highway might not notice the cell phone tower designed to look like a tree at the Galena Volunteer fire station.
"The thing is so natural there are birds in it," said Pete Cannizzaro, chief of the volunteer fire department, said of the Mount Rose "tree."
The 5-year-old communications tower, shared by AT&T and Cingular Wireless, also brings the fire department extra income that Cannizzaro said would go toward a specialized truck to extricate accident victims.
Cingular also has equipment that looks like an antique metal light pole on Robb Drive at Interstate 80. At Reed High School in Sparks, a light on the football field was modified to hold communications equipment.
A light pole at the Washoe County School District bus yard on Geiger Grade also houses equipment. The district rent of $6,000 a year for each site is used for computers and furniture at the high school and for an office renovation at the bus yard, said plant facilities administrator Dale Sanderson.
"We're going to have them one way or the other," Sanderson said of the communications towers. "Schools should get the income."
But disguised towers don't necessarily make residents happy.
A proposed 50-foot cell phone tower at Unity Church on Kings Row, which would conceal the communications equipment with decorative panels displaying the church's logo, is facing opposition from neighbors.
"It would stick out like a sore thumb," church neighbor Jenifer Root told the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Unity Church board president Scott Johnson defended the tower.
"That is a good-looking tower," Johnson said. "It's going to enhance the look of our church."
Rental income from the tower of about $1,000 a month would also help serve the congregation, Johnson said.
Cingular spokeswoman Lauren Garner said the proposed cell tower had been redesigned to address concerns of residents and planning officials.
Garner said that cell phone technology has improved over the last 15 years so shorter towers now can be used. Materials to conceal the equipment also have improved, she said.
"Not only has the technology changed, but also the stealth materials have evolved, so we have a lot more options," Garner said.
Last week the Reno City Council sent the proposal for the Unity Church tower to the city's planning manager for a decision, a procedure that city officials said is required under a state law approved last year to streamline review of communications towers.
Residents who fought the proposal at Planning Commission meetings in September said the city is wasting time by starting a new series of hearings.
The city is working on details for processing applications for communications towers. The issue is scheduled for Planning Commission comment on Wednesday.
Washoe County also is rewriting its rules regarding communications equipment in response to the state law.

KHQ.COM - The Liberty Foundation's 2013 Salute to Veterans tour has hit Spokane, and Monday afternoon KHQ's Reed Schmitt took a test flight on a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.
The B-17 "Memphis Belle" is one of only thirteen B-17 bombers still flying to today. The particular plane that Reed flew on was built towards the end of the war and never saw any combat, but it is painted in the colors and nose art of the original historic "Memphis Belle" that flew countless missions during WWII.
The plane in this tour was actually in the movie "Memphis Belle," and you have the opportunity to take a flight on May 11th and 12th. The B-17 flight experience takes about 45 minutes with about 30 of those minutes in flight. Flights are $410 for Liberty Foundation members and $450 for non-members. That may sound expensive, but to fly the plane costs $4500 per flight hour and The Liberty Foundation spends over $1.5 Million annually to keep the B-17 airworthy.
Ground tours will also be available in the afternoons of the 11th and 12th at Felts Field.
If you'd like to know more you can contact The Liberty Foundation at 918-340-0243, or visit their website by clicking HERE.

We were watching a ball game this afternoon with one of our sons, and his wife and daughter.
We were watching a ball game this afternoon with one of our sons, and his wife and daughter. To really be accurate, I'd have to say they were watching the ball game. I was trying to do a little work around the house.
I could hear what was going on and was struggling with the words defense and offense. When speaking of things other than ball games we usually put the emphasis on the end of the word, but when it's mentioned in sports jargon it's DEfense and OFFense. I was wondering why.
After they left I decided to look up the words in the dictionary. I only looked up the word defense. I got my answer. It was pretty much what I thought. When speaking of sports, the emphasis is put on the first syllable instead of the last. But I still don't know why. If anyone can clue me in, I'd love to know the answer.
On Saturday, Vic and I were able to go to St. Bernadette Catholic Church to get our photos taken for the directory that will be published soon with pictures of parishioners in it. Our son, Gerald, and his wife came with us. I saw a lot of people I knew, including one friend I had not seen in ages. We went to high school together, for a while we lived on the same street, and she and her husband were the photographers for our daughter's wedding.
She told me she had some poems for me. Knowing I loved poems, she went to her car where she had been keeping the poems because "someday I'll see Irene, and I'll have them with me to give to her."
She hurried to where she was parked, got the poems and brought them to me. I asked her if she wanted me to return them, and she said no, they were mine to keep.
What I thought were a few poems turned out to be five books of inspirational poetry, one of my favorite kinds. To me, that was a gift on a grand scale. I've already read a few of the poems, and they're beautifully written, some by well-known poets. Not only that, they are illustrated with lovely pictures of beautiful scenes that take your breath away.
I'll treasure those books of poetry just as much as I treasure the books of poetry given to me by Ruth Thomas who presented me with her book of poetry, "Nature's Holy Grail," and Dickie Bascle's book of poems and artwork, "Stepping Stones to Heaven." I feel so fortunate to have such inspirational material in my home library.
Thank you, Sarah. And thank you also to Ruth and Dickie.
I've been cleaning out closets and drawers lately and giving good, usable clothing that I either don't like or doesn't fit me anymore to the St. Vincent de Paul Store in Houma. One of the articles was brand new. I had bought a dress, and after I tried it on at home, I realized I'd never wear it. I also save and try to fold nicely all my plastic bags I get when I go shopping, and I give them also to our St. Vincent de Paul store.
I've been told it saves them money if they don't have to buy bags to put their customers' purchases in, so in that small way I feel as though I'm helping. After all, they're assisting local people, and the money realized from the sales stays in the community.
I'm hearing from a lot of people that the economy is not as good as some of the powers-that-be would like for us to believe. People who have wonderful skills are not able to get jobs with benefits or that pay enough for the skills they possess.
Many complain that they can't find full-time jobs. Jobs are mostly part-time where the company does not have to pay benefits. Many are getting laid off from full-time jobs and are not able to find employment commensurate with their abilities. I suggest that we keep the unemployed and underemployed in our thoughts and prayers, and that we help them in whatever way we can. Remember, a friendly helping hand is a gift, even if it's assisting a member of one's own family.

Feedback on what sort of work- writing, exercises and what ages?
Student or Learner
I would like to know the common English expressions that teachers use to give feedback to students' work (elemenatry level, comments on very nice, average and poor work). Who can help me? Where on the Net can I have find such information?
Thanks in advance.
Feedback on what sort of work- writing, exercises and what ages?
It's about their homework, classwork, etc. My students are second language (English) learners, aged from 6 to 13. Sometimes I give them some written exercises like grammar practice, somethimes exercises on making sentences, sometimes free writing, sometimes reading comprehension exercises. Please provide me with some phrases/expressions that teachers use to comment students' work. Thanks in advance.
A good piece of work
You need to focus on...
Also, note repeated mistakes

Bulldogs Nab One of New England's Qualifying Berths
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The No. 1 Yale coed sailing team captured third place at the New England Dinghy Championship hosted by Harvard on the Charles River, qualifying for the National Semifinal Championships. The Bulldogs also placed seventh at the Oberg Trophy hosted by Northeastern University at the Boston University sailing venue and fifth at the Short Beach Invitational on home waters in Branford.
The Bulldogs have been on a hot streak all spring, winning numerous events and hitting their stride on the water. However, sailing conditions are unpredictable and success found one weekend can be elusive the next. This is particularly true on the Charles River, which is notorious for strange conditions.
The big breeze that was forecasted for the weekend earlier in the week never showed up on the Harvard portion of the river. The breeze came out of the west on both days ranging from about two to eight knots, with constant changes in pressure making consistency extremely difficult. A division sailed in Harvard's fleet of FJs while B division sailed in MIT's fleet of FJs from up the river, allowing for the completion of all 18 races, despite the in and out breeze.
Senior skipper Joseph Morris and crews senior Isabel Elliman (races one through eight and 11 through 18) and junior Heather May (races nine and 10) battled consistency, finishing eighth in A division after losing a tiebreaker for seventh. They collected two wins and seven top-five finishes.
Junior captain skipper Cam Cullman and senior crew Genoa Warner finished third in B division, a mere four points out of first. They finished with ten top fives, including two wins, and only finished outside the top ten twice.
The Bulldogs also faced inconsistent conditions at the Oberg Trophy, up the Charles River at the Boston University venue. They rode puffs and lulls to a seventh place finish. Sophomores skipper Max Nickbarg and crew Anna Han finished eighth in A division, losing a tiebreaker for seventh. They collected top-five finishes in five of the 12 races. Senior skipper Robert Struckett and freshman crew Sarah Smith finished seventh in B division, a point out of sixth. They also finished in the top five in five of the 12 races.
The Bulldogs finished fifth at the final collegiate regatta of this spring season at the McNay Family Sailing center in Branford. The breeze came out of the southwest and ranged from five to 10 knots over the weekend, before dying after 15 races were conducted. Sophomore William Feldman and freshman Urska Kosir co-skippered A division, finishing fifth. Sophomores Nace Cohen and Sam Taylor co-skippered B division and also finished fifth.
Next weekend the Bulldogs will take a break from qualifying. They will sail at the Admiral's Cup at Kings Point, the Priddy Trophy at the University of New Hampshire and the Thompson Trophy at the Coast Guard Academy.

Can we talk about your allowance? I understand that each of you gets $1 a week. If you think that's a little low, I'd have to agree with you.
To their credit, your parents probably don't want to spoil you. But sometimes it's just as bad to get too little as it is to get too much. And even in a recession (your father knows that word well), the cost of living for a 7-year-old and a 10-year-old is more than $1 a week.
I would recommend that you get weekly allowances equal to half your age -- that's $3.50 for Sasha and $5 for Malia. In return, I'd expect you to take on extra responsibilities. For example, your parents might ask you to pay for your own tickets or popcorn when you go to the movies. Or you could buy treats and toys for the new puppy your parents promised you.
You wouldn't have to spend all your money at once -- you could save up for something special. Your parents might even ask you to save 10 percent of your allowance every week (doing the math will help you learn percentages). Put the money in a piggy bank and watch it grow. And when you have enough, your parents could help you open your own savings accounts in a real bank -- one that won't go out of business. (Note to Dad: Think of the boost in confidence it would give the banking system.)
I read that you're expected to make your beds but that your mom is satisfied if you "just throw a sheet over them." Sounds easy enough. I don't think you should get paid for doing such chores. Kids should pitch in because their parents need help around the house -- even when it's the White House. If you'd like to earn more money, you can always get paid for doing jobs that Mom and Dad consider extra.
One problem you seem to have is that your dad sometimes forgets to give you your allowance. No surprise. All parents are forgetful at one time or another. What you need is a simple system for reminding him.
Maybe he could program it into his BlackBerry. Or maybe you can set aside a certain time and place -- say, every Sunday night in the Lincoln bedroom. One family I know made a booklet of construction-paper coupons that the kids could tear off and exchange for their allowance each week.
Why am I telling you all this? Because you could set an example for other kids on to how to divvy up allowance money and make wise choices about spending it. You could learn to be patient and save your money for something you want. You could use your own money to buy things instead of someone else's.
In short, you could take on more personal responsibility -- something your father talked about in his inaugural address. If more grown-ups had done those things, we wouldn't be faced with such a big mess to clean up.

Rotherham slumped to a 1-0 home loss to Burton - a fourth successive defeat that drops them further off the promotion pace.
Albion made the best of starts with a goal after just eight minutes. Justin Richards skinned Rotherham for pace down the right, slipped a pass wide to Cleveland Taylor and Richards continued his run to turn in Taylor's drive from close range.
And the visitors could have had a second after 20 minutes but Billy Kee's goal-bound shot from Taylor's corner was deflected wide.
Rotherham struggled going forward, but a clever short corner after 21 minutes by Danny Schofield nearly produced a goal when Ben Pringle slipped the ball back to Schofield and his shot was touched over the bar by Ross Atkins.
But the home side's best chance came after 34 minutes when Pringle headed down Schofield's cross only for Lewis Grabban to sky his shot high over the bar.
Grabban almost made amends four minutes after the re-start but his shot hit the bar and went over.
And his effort sparked a Rotherham revival. Alex Revell's header was scrambled clear by Atkins and Atkins followed that up with two magnificent saves to deny substitutes Marcus Marshall and Gareth Evans.
But some resolute defending by Albion, who readily pulled everyone back, saw them through.

USD Professor Wins National Honor
UT San Diego -- When he was an undergraduate student at Rhode Island College, Mitch Malachowski was invited by a professor to help in his lab with some research.
"It had nothing to do with what I ended up doing as a graduate student or what I do now," said Malachowski, a chemistry professor at the University of San Diego. But it helped a self-described "lost undergraduate" find inspiration to pursue a doctorate degree and embrace an academic career.
He said it also left a lasting impression about how valuable it is to include undergraduates in research, rather than just offering such experiences to graduate students.
In the 30 years he's taught at USD, Malachowski said he's had about 110 undergraduate students conduct research with him, and he has worked on a national scale to promote a culture of research in undergraduate education. (Full Article)

I agree.
But I don't think we're going back. The best solution is to "watch the watchers", so anyone can go back and see who was viewing any particular cam at any particular time.
Actually I imagine the first Prime Minister that gets caught coming and going from his girlfriend's house on CCTV will be in favor of cancelling this program.
If there's a scandal, the Prime Minister is removed by his party and a new one brought in. The new one does not remove the system because that would just be a concession that he was going to behave similarly. What would happen (and it doesn't need to be anyone as dramatic as a Prime Minister) is that exceptions will be made for a vaguely defined class
"What do you think will happen with a system like this in the hands of Anonymous or some group like them."
People will band together and participate in government-sanctioned stalking of atheists, commies, homosexuals, or whomever else they just don't like.
By "people," you apparently mean Christians, capitalists/conservatives, heterosexuals, and moralists. I guess atheists, communists, homosexuals, etc., are all peace-loving hate-hating people that have an inherent aversion to stalking or harassing or any sort of "bad behavior," whereas others - like Christians and conservatives - only profess to believe in "higher authority," God, law-biding citizens, etc....
You probably just mentioned the ones that you particularly dislike or feel are discriminated against
I think he was using typical US-centric boogeymen. If it was Cultural Revolution China your list would be the one to consider.
I think the interesting bias here is that his original comment didn't say anything about "moralists", but you added them in to the hit list. I guess that means communists, homosexuals, and atheists are immoralists in your Book?
By "people," you apparently mean Christians, capitalists/conservatives, heterosexuals, and moralists. I guess atheists, communists, homosexuals, etc., are all peace-loving hate-hating people that have an inherent aversion to stalking or harassing or any sort of "bad behavior,"
It's not about "bad behavior". Christians, conservatives, and moralists have a long history of committing harassment, stalking, and blackmail against minority groups in order to make the minority behavior conform to their views. Ath
In Ireland of old, possibly still today, one of the great insults was to be called an "informer". This derived from the old rule under the English where informants were very real and the information they passed on to authorities was a very central element of British rule over the country. When discovered, actual informers could face very serious repercussions from the local population, and there was really no worse sin, particularly in the days before independence. Even during the Troubles in the north well into the 90's, informers, and even suspected informers faced summary execution at the hands of the IRA.
While the English have long gone in the Republic, the taboo lingers on in a fashion. As in most former colonies, people tend to report crimes less, and respect for those that do is not very forthcoming.
Looking on the bright side, perhaps after they have been subjected to this system, the British may finally get an idea of why the government (or anyone else), knowing too much is actually a bad thing. Recent developments in their country suggests that they haven't yet grasped this, but may actually be capable [bbc.co.uk] of doing so. Americans on the other hand... .
£1,000 for the person with the MOST crimes.
Say you have 100 people wanting to try and win this prize.
1 person reports 400 crimes, but the average is around 40-50 crimes.
So for £1,000 a month, you get 5000 crimes reported.
It'll be interesting if 4Chan decides to start trolling this.... thousands of people reporting Pedo Bear at the Palace, or just any single crime somewhere cops aren't.
Nothing will be able to stop my Fake Crime Street Theater gang. I'll keep those snoopers glued to their monitors for years. Crimes that never happen. Victims who don't exist. Jam the system.
The problem is that the CCTV cameras have proven to be very ineffective in deterring crime.
The MOST effective has been cops patrolling - either walking the beat, on bikes, horse, or patrol car.
This is going to increase crime:
This is just taking a bad idea and making it worse.
That depends entirely on whether they are council-run CCTV cameras (ones out on the street to spot muggings, littering, vandalism, etc) or ones in stores that are run by the companies in the store/shopping centre (ones to catch shop-lifting). In the case of the former I think we technically do have access under the Freedom of Information Act. In the case of the latter I don't think you have a foot to stand on, since it is private surveillance for a company's own protection run by the company or one of its contractors.
They're private cameras. A businessman in Stratford upon Avon is selling the service to local businesses for a subscription. It's nothing to do with the government.
I thought it was in this case (I saw it on the BBC teletext pages a couple of days ago and laughed and the innovative idea - people will love the "win money" together with "spy on people like the Big Brother house" idea) but I wasn't sure and couldn't be bothered to RTFA. Not that it'll stop people whining about how terrible Britain is as a CCTV nation.
Personally I'd rather have the CCTV that can help catch criminals by tracking their movements while police get to the scene than having any idiot who has the
You can request footage of yourself from private cameras using data protection laws.
Anyway, no need to worry for two reasons:
Presumably it's only a matter of time before someone reverse-engineers the back-end to do exactly that. It's not like our government has a great record on data security.
The problem with surveillance cameras is not the cameras themselves, but who watches the watchers? Cops have been shown to zoom in on bedroom windows, innocent women on the street, just being official and unpunishable peeping toms.
Now the watchers are the public. I have zero problems with this kind of full time surveillance cameras. The best thing to happen to civilian control of the police state since Rodney King and cell phone videos.
Anyone who argues against the "slippery slope" argument for More Cameras == Bad should be shot. Now. So anybody can be challenged for anything now, just because somebody who's trying to win a chunk of money thinks they saw something wrong?
So anybody can be challenged for anything now, just because somebody who's trying to win a chunk of money thinks they saw something wrong?
No. Not just "because somebody thinks they saw something". The video is the proof. Unless this is so brain dead as to rely strictly on what people say they saw and the video is not kept around.
Anything even close to properly run would screen out those who cry wolf. This isn't hearsay. This is video for everyone to see.
I'm against this but I would think that reporting a crime will be controlled under the same laws used to handle phone calls to 911. Not all 911 calls equal a crime, but calling one and lying to them is a crime.
Brits seem to be happy to give up their freedoms left and right. It's kind of insane. This is why you see "uppity" Americans constantly deriding the size and scope of government. No amount of protection will save you from the dangers life, so what exactly are you getting in return beyond a nosy neighb
If someone is going to be snooping, it's only fair to have everyone snooping. The only oppressive element of CCTV is the idea that only a select few people get to snoop and thereby gain some sort of advantage over everyone else. If everyone gets access, you still lose privacy but at least no one gains power.
Brin makes an argument that not only are we going in this direction, but that this direction is inherently reasonable. I'm not sure I agree with all of his claims about using "public shame" to help shape a more harmonious society, but it's still worth the read.
More about his book here [wikipedia.org].
He also says it is inevitable -- with cameras getting cheaper and smaller and better by the day, the time will come when everyone will be wearing several cameras for 360 recording of what's around them, sent wirelessly back to central servers, probably never to be deleted, ever, with the cost of storage dropping as fast. The time will come when any bad guy will leave traces on so many recordings, all of which will ne annotated with time and lat/lon, that it will be a trivial matter to back track thru all the cameras in the area and trace the perp back far enough for identification. Physical crime will become pretty rare. So will phoney alibis, all sorts of cheatin' hearts, the murky deeds of hypocritical politicians
It would be fair if you could snoop on politicians and the rest of the wealthy. Problem is, its extremely focused on poor and uneducated people who desperately needs help getting up from poverty, not surveillance.
Why arent the same extreme mesures taken out to challenge corporate crimes? The society value of stopping moneylandry, tax evasion and such is much much higher than to get at some idiot shoplifting or doing other petty crimes.
Its clearly people in power bashing poor and powerless people. Stasi and
Are you seriously stating that losing privacy is no oppressive element? It's actually a world where everybody can oppress everybody else, because he knows something about that person, that was meant to be private.
Privacy and even lies are an essential part of our society. Without them, social life as we know it, breaks down and becomes impossible. So much do we know on the scientific side.
Is the game available to people in the US? I can imagine a horde of fat rednecks trying to make a living by watching some brits on cameras 12 hours a day.
Don't worry my Brit friends, we'll keep a close on eye on you. Just to keep you safe.
Duder, in modern America 1000 pounds is a lot of money too

What goes to the person who reports the most false positives?
A background investigation.
Giving the public access to the big brother camera network will open up unprecedented opportunities for cyber-bullying, especially for people living in dwellings whose front doors are within the frame of a camera.
You only need a few miscreants spying on some poor bugger, then sending harassing and threatening SMS messages as s/he moves about the city in the normal course of his/her day.
You don't get to choose which camera you see each session.
Dammit, and I was going to ask for the one in the womens' locker-room...
You don't get to choose which camera you see each session. In fact, the location is 'secret' (though you may be able to figure it out). Single person surveillance won't work.
You're assuming the surveillance camera network and the 'snooper' game server components won't get pwn3d.
Firstly, this is the Daily Mail - a rabid right-wing tabloid newspaper that typically has headlines about how Polish immigrants are going to knock down all our schools to open up christian vegan lesbian holistic bomb-making camps, or something.
Secondly, it would be entirely illegal to do this under UK law. We have things like the Data Protection Act.

Well this will give all of those Chavs, Idiots, and Baby making West Asian Immigrants in the UK who live off the government dole something to do other than sponging off the government and doing nothing. Now they can sit at home on their huge subsidized butts and play "Virtual Peeping Tom" to make sure none of the working folks jaywalk on their lunch breaks.
Maybe now they can contribute as "Jack-Booted" Government squealers from the comfort of their government housing.

This is an opt-in service where specific people can pay a fee to have their cameras monitored by the game's players. It has no connection with the CCTV network already installed by British officials. It's basically just a very stupid and sensational business venture that will probably fail, because who's going to be willing to pay 20 quid a week for random internet people to watch their CCTV?
... is that it's a more productive use of people's time than playing the Lottery. Higher odds of actually getting any money out of it.
But businessman Tony Morgan, a former restaurant owner, said it would give local businesses protection against petty criminals, and act as a deterrent once 'Internet Eyes patrol here' signs are prominently displayed...
Or alternately, this could turn out to be a short-lived failure. He sort of missed the proof of concept phase of his planning.

Oh yes, what a lovely little tool.

You'd think this worked by charging monitored businesses. No. It works by charging viewers to report crimes.. Read the Terms of Service. [interneteyes.co.uk] It costs viewers £1 to report an event. The captured image is sent to the camera customer by phone. The recipient rates the report, but the viewer doesn't get credit back if the report was good. The only payoff is the the monthly prize of £1000. They're going to take in far more from the viewers than they pay out.
Viewers do get a credit of £3 per month they can use for reporting, so it's not totally pay to play.
Each viewer is shown four random cameras at a time. Every 20 minutes, or if they report something, they get a new set of cameras. So viewers never get to see the results of their reports.
Thufir's a Harkonnen now.

Fence Co. Punctures Gas Line
A post hole digger being used by a fence company punctured a natural gas line near the FEI Inc. building at 913 14th Street SW, ,just south of Interstate 94 Tuesday afternoon in Valley City, causing firefighters and police to evacuate the business and block off the road for about a half hour.
The Valley City Fire Department got word of the gas leak shortly after 1 p.m., and police and firefighters began leaving the scene about 1:45 p.m.
Valley City Fire Department Chief Gary Retterath said the leak caused by the hole digger was a small one in the recently installed gas line, "but for safety's sake" the leak was being dealt with quickly.
