Microsoft Shouts Antitrust Over YouTube Snub

Microsoft said FTC isn't doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws
A Microsoft executive has called Google out on the fact that Windows Phone users cannot enjoy
a full YouTube experience
the way Android and iOS users can.
Dave Heiner, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Microsoft, wrote a post about the fact that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws. More specifically, Microsoft is upset that Windows Phone still cannot get a full YouTube app while the competition (Android and iOS) are able.
"Despite government scrutiny, Google continues to block Microsoft from offering its customers proper access to YouTube," said Heiner. "This is an important issue because consumers value YouTube access on their phone: YouTube apps on the Android and Apple platforms were two of the most downloaded mobile applications in 2012, according to recent news reports. Yet Google still refuses to allow Windows Phone users to have the same access to YouTube that Android and Apple customers enjoy. Microsoft has continued to engage with YouTube personnel over the past two years to remedy this problem for consumers.
"As you might expect, it appears that YouTube itself would like all customers – on Windows Phone as on any other device – to have a great YouTube experience. But just last month we learned from YouTube that senior executives at Google told them not to enable a first-class YouTube experience on Windows Phones."
Heiner mentioned that the European Commission has addressed Google's business practices and is working toward a resolution that will keep Google in line, but the FTC, however, is taking it a little too easy on the search giant.
"Meanwhile, in the United States, news reports have stated that the FTC may close its investigation if Google merely makes certain "voluntary commitments" to reform its behavior," wrote Heiner. "Separately, news reports suggest that Google will finally agree to live up to its promises to make its standard essential patents available to all on reasonable terms. Unfortunately, this agreement appears to be less demanding than the pledge the U.S. Department of Justice received from Apple and Microsoft nearly a year ago."
Heiner complained that Microsoft had raised the issue about the full-featured YouTube app almost two years ago, and while the European Commission and the FTC are both investigating the matter, Microsoft wants the matter resolved once and for all.
Microsoft is just one tech company that is consistently targeted by the European Commission regarding antitrust laws.
It started in March 2004 when a European Commission high court found the company guilty of
using tactics to freeze out its competitors
in the media player and server software markets. It was fined
$690 million.
Back in 2008, the EU
fined Microsoft $1.4 billion
for refusing to comply during its legal feud with the EU between
July 2006 and October 2007
. Microsoft was charged
$3.83 million a day for each day of non-compliance
Moving forward to 2009, the EU went after Microsoft again for
tying Internet Explorer to Windows
, and by doing so, Microsoft is "stealing" a unique and unfair advantage.
The EU has been on top of Microsoft throughout 2012, with most problems stemming from
browser choices in Windows 7
and more
browser issues with Windows RT
In December, the Commission began investigating Microsoft's policy
changes in Bing and Hotmail
to make sure they comply with user privacy.

Patty Sausage....any tips?:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,4226.0.htmlGetting a even layer of sausage in a deep dish without damaging the crust:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,12267.0.html
Proteins in the meat tighten (e.g., think of handmade hamburger patties on the grill). I like to thrown down bits of the sausage to make 100% coverage that way, the same way I do with the sliced cheese.Did you roll it out between wax paper? If not, try that.

The aptly named The One & Only Royal Mirage is traditional Moroccan architecture at its palatial best. There are fountains, flowers, pots, mosaic floors, beautiful carpets, camel saddlebags adorning the walls, intricate arches, golden domes, hidden courtyards – the One & Only Royal Mirage embodies the very best elements of Arabian hospitality.
Its many restaurants and bars feature winding staircases, glowing, multi-coloured lanterns and fluttering curtains, combined with panoramic views of the beautiful Dubai coastline. The One & Only Royal Mirage Hotel is often cited as Dubai's nearest rival to the Burj al Arab Hotel, but that is a little unfair to the Mirage: its elegance is more restrained and the whole experience is quite different. The hidden gardens, picturesque canals and beautiful terraces arguably put it in a class apart and make it a deservedly popular wedding venue.
The The One & Only Royal Mirage features high on any list of 'things to do in Dubai'. Afternoon tea is an absolute delight here, extraordinarily reasonably priced and as good as you will get anywhere. The Rooftop Terrace cannot be beaten as an open-air evening drinks venue for a special occasion, and near its popular Kasbar nightclub is a fabulous little courtyard filled with majlis-style tents for shisha lovers.

Posted on 01/15/2013 2:43:29 PM PST by Red Steel
ALBANY Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law on Tuesday a sweeping package of gun control measures, significantly expanding a ban on assault weapons and making New York the first state to change its laws in response to the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
Mr. Cuomo signed the bill less than an hour after the State Assembly approved the legislation on a 104-to-43 vote. The State Senate approved the measure, 43 to 18, on Monday night.
The expanded ban on assault weapons broadens the definition of such weapons, banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles with detachable magazines and one military-style feature, as well as semiautomatic shotguns with one military-style feature. New Yorkers who already own such guns can keep them but will be required to register them with the state.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Going to be interesting to see what happens once the Fudds find out that the law bans a lot of their precious duck hunting guns - it bars all semi-auto shotguns that have a FIXED magazine capacity of more than 7.
Many of them have 8 round tubes.
Yeah, THAT'LL help the crime rate!
Now, how are they going to talk the criminals into giving up THEIR weapons?
The Slimes from NY are gonna run background checks on ammo purchases.
Some New Yorker ought to take a page out of Unintended Consequences:
Pay for a billboard that reads, "Cuomo's Death Clock -(enter number here) murdered since anti-defense law signed."
One more good reason to avoid New York.
Feel safer now New *Yerkers*, hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Good news for criminals.
Your odds just got better!
Why do lawful gun owners always have to bear the burden of crimes committed with guns?
The communists push is really part of the communists Democrats in NY. This push could be the beginning of an effort to defy the communists and might start a little war. Just how does this little King think he can enforce this idiotic plan. NY is in real trouble, and just might be the end of the communists Democratic jackasses. NY might wake up.
Well why would anyone need more than a couple of rounds to defend themselves? I don't know how many times Ive heard this carp from liberals I know! I have started responding to them by pointing out just how many times our well trained police officers miss their target while shooting at a suspect and ask if we should mandate a return to LEO's using revolvers, because by their logic a well trained police officer should never need more than six rounds to get the job done.
Tyrants need criminals in order to scare the people into giving up their freedoms.
I wonder when the governor plans his next public appearance.
I would like to see how the general public reacts.
Applause,rotten fruit,or worse.
And better odds for would be tyrannical dictators Which is the real motives behind all this.
I am now officially a criminal
Hey Cuomo - go ask Mexico how gun control is working for them...
Gun shop proprietors in surrounding states are smiling.
I wonder how many "criminals" Cuomo just added with this new law. My guess is less than half of those weapons will be registered, even among those who are not felons or otherwise barred from owning firearms. I hope the numbers are FAR less. Some laws should be resisted - and refusal to obey is only one of the options for resisting this sort of grab for power. A secodn one is litigation, and I hope tens of thousands of New Yorkers will file lawsuits. This is clearly unconstitutional, and it needs to bog the system down until those in power admit that they overreached. Wealthy, productive, tax-paying New Yorkers could also leave, voting with their feet and their dollars. There are other options as well, but I will leave them to the imagination.
Our condolences, New Yorker.
There is land and jobs to be had in Texas.
Come. You have proven worthy.
Does that mean that Cuomo won't be walking around with those armed guards anymore..I mean after all, guns are "evil" right Andrew..so that means you shouldnt have armed guards..perhaps they can guard you with twinkies
I wonder if that is constitutional. I hope the NRA challenges the legality of some portions of this law.
IDIOTS.....Canada TRIED to have a gun registration for at least TEN years and finally GAVE up.....NO ONE would register all their guns.....they really think we are THIS stupid?
The proper response to this piece of tyranny is "No," but that message must be delivered by large numbers of people around the Capitol and the governor. If people just don't register their long guns, then the authorities have achieved a dream of criminalizing a large number of law abiding citizens and can arrest them at any time.
We hear some talk of Seccession but are not THESE
states breaking with the constitution by the nature
of their actions? They are in fact leaving the US.
Just something to consider.
Take three rounds out of that seven round magazine.
I need to bury some magazines in my walls, that a lot of Sheetrock work I don't have time for at present.
Oh yay,,so per Cuomo's logic all children in school are safe and we should expect a decrease in gun crime? What EXACTLY are these measures supposed to do?
The Shotgun Fudds in Upstate are in for an unpleasant surprise.
How will they measure success?
I wonder if they specified length of cartridge. I.E. If you have a shotgun that holds seven 3" shells, that same shotgun can hold 12 of these 1-3/4" "Minishells":
Aguila Minishell Ammunition 12 Gauge 1-3/4" #4 and #1 Buckshot 11 Pellets Box of 20 (Midway USA)
As dishonest as anti-gunners are, you KNOW if the shell length isn't specified, they'll jam shotguns full of these tiny shells, and promptly declare them illegal "assault weapons".
I heard Cuomo talk today about this travesty. I almost vomited. This state is no longer tolerable. The first job I find in a free state I am moving. I have resigned myself to take up to a 50% pay cut to leave. NY is making me physically ill.
we did have a 5 yr. exit plan. May have to rethink that very soon
I wonder who in NY is going to be stupid enough to register their defense weapons with this Nazi?
There won't be one fewer murder in New York City this year when compared to last year.
But the liberals (both democrat and republican) will feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has the blood of his constituents on his hands.
What a disgusting POS.
Nope, they didn't. Read the whole thing. It didn't specify how many rounds of what, or even that it be the round intended for the mag, just that it could hold more than 7.
Likewise, short shells in lever action rifles could also be used.
Better make that 5 month (week would be better) and send your affected arms out of state until you can. Got anyone that doesn't like you and knows you have firearms? All they'll have to do is drop a dime.
Extrapolate from there.
Start the lawsuits.
Talk about jumping the gun. How many months passed after it was clear that the US government was gun running to Mexican drug cartels before anything was done?
Congratulations, Governor. Now, how are you gonna get them?
Anyone Know when this new law goes into effect ?
What is a lawful gun owner?
I think we need to get away from that terminology since anyone who is not committing a crime at the time is by definition lawful.
IMO, opening up the "lawful" meme invites speculation to a "Minority Report" scenario....especially when it comes to "mental health" issues.
Indian Reservations sell cigarettes avoiding some tax issues. Maybe they should look into selling ammunition too.
This bill was brought up for vote in the Senate at 11:00 at night under cover of darkness. Ignoring a mandatory three day commentary period, they voted in this travesty in 20 minutes. The Assembly voted today, again ignoring the three day commentary. Cuomo signed it into law this afternoon. In all this thing was jammed through both houses and signed in less than 24 hours. This is what passes for democracy in neeorkistan. sd
NO snark intended, but series??

About the Author: Esther Brimmer is the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs.
As the world marks Human Rights Day today, I'm reminded of the moment 62 years ago when Eleanor Roosevelt rose to address the UN General Assembly to mark the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I thought I'd take time to reflect on that moment that perfectly captures the United States enduring commitment to the protection and promotion of human rights around the world.
There was a sense of excitement in the General Assembly that day. You can hear the applause from the audience as the United States delegate and former First Lady rose to speak on that unprecedented occasion.
Clearly, we still have work to do to make real her prediction that the Universal Declaration "may well become the international Magna Carta of all men everywhere," but we are much further down that road because of the leadership that the United States showed in the multilateral arena on human rights issues over a half century ago.
I keep a picture of Eleanor Roosevelt holding the Universal Declaration in my office, and it reminds me of the importance and significance of American leadership in the international system on the promotion and protection of human rights around the world.
Six decades later, the United States continues to accept this call, as is demonstrated in our tireless efforts to strengthen the UN's response to human rights concerns and mainstream human rights protection into the work of the UN system. It is reflected in our decision to join the Human Rights Council and our tireless efforts to lead the council to promote and protect human rights. And it is reflected in our work across the UN system to find creative solutions to recurring problems and to strengthen the UN's technical assistance on these issues while calling the worst abusers to account.
So on this Human Rights Day, I would like to share the footage of the address with you. It may be cloudy, the sound at times indistinct, but the message remains a clarion call as powerful today as it was then. The U.S. commitment to that message, to advancing universal respect for human rights, remains unshakable.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 12, 2012) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team defeated Canada 25-15, 25-22, 25-15 Thursday afternoon to open the Women's Pan American Cup at Juarez, Mexico.
The U.S. continues Pool A action on July 13 versus Puerto Rico at 8 p.m. MT, followed by Cuba on July 14 at 6 p.m. MT. Team USA faces Colombia on July 15 at 4 p.m. MT before concluding pool play on July 16 versus host Dominican Republic at 6 p.m. MT.
The U.S. opened a 6-3 lead in the first set and cruised to a 25-15 victory in benefiting from 12 Canada errors. The Americans used a 15-4 scoring run to overcome a 9-5 deficit in winning the second set 25-22. Team USA used six unanswered points in the third set to gain a 14-6 advantage and went on to win 25-15.
The U.S. was led in scoring by Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) and Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minn.), who each tallied 14 points. Metcalf was credited with 13 kills on 28 attacks and an ace. Gibbemeyer boasted eight kills on 16 swings, a match-high five blocks and an ace. Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) charted nine kills on 17 attacks for her total points. Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) contributed five kills on 11 errorless attacks and an ace for six points. Cassidy Lichtman (Poway, Calif.) tacked on three kills and a block for four points. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) rounded out the scoring with a kill each.
Kayla Banwarth (Dubuque) provided a team-high five digs and five excellent receptions on 11 attempts. Glass set the U.S. offense to a 45.5 kill percent and .239 hitting efficiency (40-9-88) with 17 running sets on 66 set attempts.
Reed Sunahara (Cincinnati, Ohio), who is serving as the head coach for the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team competing at the Pan American Cup, started Richards and Lichtman at outside hitter, Tamas and Gibbemeyer at middle blocker, Metcalf at opposite and Glass at setter. Banwarth is the designated libero for the tournament. Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) subbed in the match in the first set, while Fawcett was a sub in the second set. Keao Burdine (Pico Rivera, Calif.) and Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) were subs in the third set. For Sykora, it was her first match wearing the U.S. uniform in an international competition since an April 2011 bus accident left.
"Victory is always great," said Sykora, who is serving as captain for the U.S. team. "Canada is a very strong team and I am very happy for playing again. Actually this is my first Team USA match after that accident and I really wanted to get back and play volleyball again."
"I decided to use her just in the right time and she did a good job," Sunahara said. "For me as coach and for USA Volleyball it is unbelievable to see her recovering and we are very happy she is back again."
Team USA benefited from 26 Canada errors in the match while limited its own miscues to 12. The Americans held a 6-5 margin in blocks and 3-2 edge in aces. Offensively, the U.S. managed a 40-33 advantage in kills and 9-7 margin in digs. Team USA's defense held Canada to a 36.7 kill percent and .222 hitting efficiency (33-13-90).
"USA found our weaknesses, especially in the pass and the other difference was in the unforced errors," Canada coach Arnd Ludwig said.
Canada's Sarah Pavan led her team with 10 points, while Shanice Marcelle and Lisa Dawn Margaret Barclay each totaled eight points.
The Pan American Cup serves as a qualification tournament into the 2013 FIVB World Grand Prix, which the U.S. has won each of the past three years. The top four teams from NORCECA, plus the top team from South America other than Brazil, will qualify for the 2013 FIVB World Grand Prix.

On a fifth straight point, Richards tied the set at 9-all with a kill. Canada answered with consecutive points to take an 11-9 advantage. Richards, Tamas and Metcalf collected consecutive kills to put the U.S. in the lead 13-12. Metcalf added another kill to extend the gap to 14-12 with a fourth straight point. Metcalf tallied two kills around a Tamas ace followed by a Gibbemeyer block to yield an 18-13 American lead on a 4-0 scoring run. Metcalf and Lichtman added a fifth and sixth straight point with kills at 20-13. Canada ended the run with back-to-back points at 20-15. Canada closed to 21-17 with consecutive points, then kept charging at 22-19.

MARK McCOY INTERVIEWS PAUL BRADLEY
Posted on | April 15, 2007 | No Comments
Interview with Paul Bradley
By Mark McCoy
While attending Legends of Fighting on April 13, I had the opportunity to speak with Paul Bradley. Bradley is the current 185 lb. Amateur Belt holder with the LFC. Bradley is a great athlete looking to make his dream of becoming a great MMA fighter a reality.
MM: Paul, great fight tonight. Congratulations on winning the 185 lb. title.
PB: Hey thanks!
MM: When did you start fighting in MMA?
PB: I started training in Iowa at Miletich's camp in March of 2006.
MM: Cool, I have some good friends that train out there with those guys. It was a great opportunity for you to train out there with them.
PB: Yes it was. I am currently training at Damage Incorporated in Indianapolis.
MM: Who is the owner of Damage Incorporated?
PB: Scott McCorkle, he is also the promoter of the LFC.
MM: Where did you attend high school at?
PB: I went to South Tama High School in Tama, Iowa.
MM: I guess you were a wrestler in high school?
PB: Yes I was. I went on to wrestle in college at Iowa. I was a 2 time All-American at Iowa.
MM: Do you remember what your record was in college?
PB: I think I was like 77-33.
MM: What are trying to improve on right now?
PB: Stand up! I want to stand with these guys and bang. I want to make the fights interesting for the fans. Tonight I was ready to stand with the guy. I did not get the chance, the guy charged me and I went back to what I know best.
MM: After winning tonight, what is your record?
PB: I am 3-0 right now.
MM: What are your plans for the future?
PB: I want to get big! Fight in some organizations that are big like the UFC. I also want to fight some of the guys that I wrestled against in college that are fighting in MMA now. There are a few that are on the top of my list.
MM: Sounds like a little bad blood?
PB: Little, just want to get some revenge from my wrestling days.
MM: What do you see yourself doing when you get done fighting?
PB: Well I want to be a head wrestling coach somewhere. I am currently the Assistant Head Wrestling Coach at Indiana University in Bloomington.
MM: Thanks for taking time to speak with me. I really appreciate it. You have anything else that you want your fans to know about you that we have not covered?
PB: No, not really. Thanks for interviewing me.
MM: Good luck in MMA. I wish you well.
PB: Thanks!

Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by SadButTrue Cheaply made and not even the right color Suppose to be burgundy cloth it is bright red. All materials where very low quality and the pockets all have a little slop to them. If you where able to see it in the store you would not buy it. I feel it was grossly misrepresented on the web site. Recommend a different table really wanted to see it before I bought it June 24, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by db1234 great value for beginners This table is a great value for budding or casual pool players who dont have a lot of space for a larger table. The quality is reasonable, again given the price. We have to level it more frequently than we probably would with a higher quality table, but it is very easy to level. I purchased it for my 12 year old son, and we enjoy playing on it quite frequently. Again, if you are looking for a good table just to shoot around for fun, I highly recommend it. If you are looking for a professional, high quality table, this is not for you. One annoying downside: It does not come with the balls or cues, so you will have to buy them separately.

Majuro Cooperative School in the Republic of the Marshall Islands put away their traditional red school uniforms and instead wore green and white - the school colors of Sandy Hook - to honor the children and teachers who lost their lives in Newtown.
In a condolence card delivered to Ambassador Thomas Armbruster on December 21, the students said, "even though we are half a world away and living on a tiny island in the Pacific, we felt the pain…of the families and the community of Newtown." Even though the United States and the Marshall Islands are geographically very distant from each other, the connection between the peoples of our two countries is particularly close.
The Compact of Free Association between the Marshall Islands and the United States allows Marshallese students to travel, live, work and study in the United States; nearly all Marshallese have family members living in the United States. The Co-op students hope that their small gesture - a warm illustration of the feeling of kinship the people of the Marshall Islands and the United States share with each other - can bring some comfort to the families affected by the tragedy.

Our opinion: Probable cause
A headline can be a scary thing.
Take this one: "Warrantless car searches OK'd."
Warrantless searches strike an unpleasant and even fearful chord in most people, expecially those who are familiar with the Constitution's Fourth Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Earlier this week the Pennsylvania Supreme Court clarified that in the Keystone State, police may search a vehicle without a warrant if they have probable cause to do so.
What? You mean a policeman can just pull a driver over willy-nilly and ferret through their car?
No. They have to be able to convince a judge that they had probable cause to do it.
For instance, if a driver is speeding or driving erratically, and pulled over on that basis, and when the driver's window is rolled down, the officer is treated to the distinctive aroma of a Grateful Dead concert, there would be probable cause to look for the source. If, in the course of that search, a large quantity of herbs of a controlled nature, along with other things like loaded weapons are found, the officer would be permitted to bring charges based on those things and present them as evidence at trial.
Remember, the Fourth Amendment uses the word "unreasonable." It is the only amendment that actually states the concept of reason and practicality, which should be inherent in all law.
The First Amendment, that collection of commandments which enumerate unalienable rights that the government cannot usurp, should also be viewed in the context of reason and practicality. We have rights to free speech, religion, assembly and press, but none of those supplant the concept of reason. We have freedom of speech, but not to scream "fire" in a crowded theater. We have freedom of religion, but not to perform dangerous rituals. We can assemble, but not riot. We have a press that is not immune to prosecution for libel or slander.
The assumption has to be that police will be reasonable, and if they are not, the matter will be ultimately remedied by a court, the ultimate legal authority.

Today some new Share It links were added to make it much easier to share content from this site with anyone. Each time Paul releases material or tours, this site is swamped so I thought this would be a nice feature to add. You will see a graphic similar to this: - just move your mouse over top of it and you will see many ways of sharing, emailing and printing options.
Currently Share It links appear on the right hand side of every post here in the forums, in the news section and home page. Will be adding it to most pages on this site. So go out there and share!

I'm glad they fiddled with the thermostats again Norma cause it's gonna be cold tomorrow....Brrrr!!Don't forget about Craig's requested readings girl....
Well I cant judge the taste but from the pictures but those pies look outstanding Norma, great job! I am curious why you decided to decrease the hydration and the salt content. Was there a reason or were you just tinkering? Jim
Norma: I sure hope your prep fridge can be repaired inexpensively. I like the micro blisters on the NY pie. What did you like better about the 2-day cold ferment... taste... crumb? I have a question about the Detroit style one (a style that I'm not familiar with, so please excuse me). How was the crumb? It looks a little less open than your other pies.Barry
Norma,It would have been interesting to get the feedback of the customer who purchased the square Lehmann pizza. You might try it again sometime. It might not pass muster as a Detroit style pizza but for those customers who might prefer a quasi-Detroit style pizza in a square format, that might give you a fourth type of pizza to add your repertoire without having to create another dough. Peter
I had looked at Steve quickly when the customer told him they wanted to purchase that pizza, because I knew we both wanted to taste it, but making the money for the whole pizza probably was better in the end.
Those darned customers who take the food right out of your mouth. I don't know why you put up with them, Norma. Barry
Good to hear you dodged a big repair bullet(or worse) Norma. Your refrigeration technician looks young enough to be paid with pizza's!
I can say as a guy who worked outside in those kinda conditions when I was as young or younger than him, being paid in in hot pizza would have been warmly welcomed!
Norma, You are quite a gal....you should be a PR person for a big company, no joke. "To be a PR person, I feel you need to posses a certain skill set that can be broken down into two categories: human skills and professional skills. Human skills include things such as patience and congeniality, while professional skills include the ability to speak publicly and write professionally."Bob
I just like to talk and find out what people know.

The Ohio Literacy Alliance
Leading Lifespan Literacy
In the fall of 2003, the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation provided funding to create the Ohio Literacy Alliance (OLA), a partnership between two of Ohio's largest institutions of higher education and leaders in education research - Kent State University and The Ohio State University.
OLA is a literacy change agent charged with developing cutting edge research, resources, and professional development activities with concentration in the language arts: reading, writing, speaking, and listening for teachers and practitioners in family literacy, K-12 (public and private), and adult basic and literacy education.
OLA is an initiative comprised of educators and researchers who are committed to enriching the literacy community and creating a literacy bridge across the lifespan. The Alliance community will work to remove barriers that divide us so we can build a bridge to learn with and from each other about the literacy challenges in Ohio.
Three goals shape the work of the Ohio Literacy Alliance:

In order to prevent dental disease in cats, pet owners need to be sure they have their brushing techniques down. Consistent and proper teeth cleaning for cats can help ward off dental issues, but it will require dedication on the owner's part to truly prevent future problems.
One good habit to get into is to simply brush your cat's teeth every time you brush your own. Some owners may have all the intention of keeping their cat's teeth healthy, but simply forget or get out of the habit of doing it. By timing it with your own dental hygiene, it becomes part of the daily routine.
Keep in mind that a toothbrush being inserted into a cat's mouth will be quite foreign for the feline at first. Fortunately, it's likely the cat will adapt over time if the brushing happens regularly. VCA Animal Hospitals recommends owners teach their cats about brushing when the feline is a kitten, if possible. While older cats will eventually adapt to daily brushing, it will take longer to get the cat into a habit if it is not used to it.
Owners should be sure to invest in specialized pet toothpaste and toothbrushes for their cat. Human toothpaste is not meant for cats and may even be poisonous to them. In addition, cat toothpaste is specially flavored to taste good for the cat. This will help the feline be more eager about the brushing process.
Toothbrushes designed for people are much too large for a cat's mouth and it is difficult to adequately clean a cat's teeth properly with these brushes. Many cat owners find it easier to use a rubber finger toothbrush. This is essentially a rubber sleeve with a square of bristles on the end which can be placed over the finger.
Most cats keep the inner surface of their teeth relatively clean so owners should focus their brushing efforts on the outer surfaces of the teeth. At first, it might only be possible to brush a few teeth, depending on the cat's cooperation. This is okay - it may take weeks or months for the cat to eventually be okay with the process and allow you to get all the teeth. Keep in mind that in order to brush the lower teeth, the cat's mouth will need to be open slightly. This can be accomplished by tilting the animal's head back slightly. Patience is required as you begin a brushing routine with your cat but in time you will both become more comfortable with the routine.

Catholic sisters adopt gun-control stance
The Columbus Dispatch - March 24, 2014 10:05 AM
A congregation of Roman Catholic sisters based in Columbus has approved a corporate stance on gun-control.
The public statement from the Dominicans Sisters of Peace and associates says the group will advocate for "common-sense" gun control laws, including a requirement for universal background checks for gun buyers and a ban on assault weapons. and high-capacity magazines.
It also says the sisters will work for legislation that would provide financial support for mental health and prevention programs.
"Gun violence in the United States claims more than 31,000 lives every year, with more than a half million injured," said Sister Judy Morris, who coordinates the order's social justice efforts. "With responsible, common-sense legislation, thousands of lives can be saved."
Morris said the order does not advocate taking away the right to bear arms.
The congregation said a number of other religious groups have taken stances on gun control, including the National Council of Churches, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence.
The stance from the Sisters of Peace was passed with a two-thirds vote of its congregation. The support means the order will dedicate time, energy, personnel and other resources to the effort.
The congregation includes 575 sisters and 550 lay associates in 36 states and in Honduras, Kenya, Nigeria, Peru and Vietnam.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Improved course delivers!In full: Well done NDRC, all my last year's moans answered! Finally got the XL shirt and toilets were plentiful. Whilst flatter than the old course I wouldn't say it was flat, more undulating and definitely better for it. The marshals were uniformly encouraging and thanks go to them. All in all an excellent event. Date of review: December 15, 2013
In short: Run for funIn full: Looking at some of the reviews, please bear in mind this is primarily a fund raiser. As one of the corporate runners (and a club runner) I would have to agree with the complaints but can't see a way around it. Start them off early and they'll still impede the speed merchants, start them after the main race and they'll hit the tail enders and after all, there is a competition for the corporate runners as well. I must confess I wouldn't normally run it as I don't like the mass events, it's just one of those things, after all there are plenty of other smaller club races about for those that want a proper race without all the bells and whistles (and walkers...)Date of review: July 14, 2013
In short: Tough first half then a quick finish in glorious surroundingsIn full: Knowing how hilly Penistone is I didn't expect an easy run and it wasn't! The second half makes up for it and is quite flat in glorious countryside, if only the course went 5K out then back again along the TPT... :-) Well organised with nothing to criticise, plenty of t-shirts of my size left at the end so well done PFR and thanks, if I ache in the morning I know who's to blame... :-)Date of review: June 30, 2013
In short: Hidden gemIn full: Flat and fast PB race hidden out in the sticks, well organised with good car parking and facilities in a small village. Only slight whinge was they ran out of XL shirts after an hour, given the price of entry not a problem. Happy to enter again. Thanks guys.Date of review: June 17, 2013
In short: Nice day out in the countryIn full: Good communication from the organisers letting us know by email of the change to car parking which led to to a good warm up and down as it was a good 10 to 15 minute walk to the start and back again. Presumably this was because of the previous week's rain so not their fault. The course is enjoyable ranging from going through the shady woods, up through the castle courtyard and its cobbles then out in to the sunshine along the river and back which is all quite flat. Dissapointed at the finish though as they'd run out of t-shirts for us slower runners. The guy said they expected to run out due to the high number of on the day entries, mmm, they did redeem themselves though by promising to send it on. Still enjoyed the event and will do it again, thanks guys.Date of review: June 2, 2013
In short: Not impressed... :-(In full: For as many years as I can remember I have made the trip over the hill from Yorkshire to run this event which is as smooth as clockwork - well organised, good marshalling, flat as a pancake, good facilities etc. This year though, for some reason I had an 11am start in my mind and fortuneately got there and 9.40 thinking I was way too early! Not a good start but hey ho, first lap was uneventful but on the second, some numpty, another runner, decided to jump up onto the pavement where I was running from the road side without looking behind and crashed into me. I ended up flat on my back with the skin off one knee and what turned out to be a broken rib, thanks whoever you are, you didn't even bother stopping and left it to an onlooker to help me, (thanks!). Apart from that, the race was as good as ever and to be recommended, thanks Salford Harriers.Date of review: March 31, 2013
In short: Well organised eventIn full: Really well organised event on a flattish scenic course and well marshalled. Only slight gripe was running out of XL tech t-shirt towards the back of the field. Well done the marshalls on a bitterly cold and windy day which did for me on the last mile, well, that and the snow shovelling the previous day... :-) Thanks T&SH.Date of review: March 25, 2013
In short: Excellent course, organisation & marshallsIn full: Echo all that's been said, only dissapointment was that presumably due to the increasing numbers I only got one jaffa cake and no coaster... :-(A cracking way to start the New Year's racing, not an easy course but well worth the trip over the Pennines - thanks to all at BVR.Date of review: January 7, 2013
In short: Poor show again with the T-shirtsIn full: Agree with others, with a few minor improvements this could be a special race, despite the school hall being a bonus there aren't enough toilets and for the last 4 years there haven't been enough L or XL t-shirts left towards the back. I finished in 63 minutes and there were only M left after queuing for nearly 10 minutes. Other races manage to crack the conundrum, just as well I already have a wardrobe full! The marshalls seemed a bit quieter this year as well. Other than that, :-), thanks and see you next year, hopefully I'll get that elusive t-shirt...Date of review: December 17, 2012
In short: As well orgsnised as everIn full: Loads of parking and excellent facilities at the rugby club. A very slightly undulating course out in the countryside but with the traffic noise from the A63 ever present. Useful commemorative gift at the finish. Some marshalls more encouraging than others. Thanks to the organisers. PS - there was someone stood on the start line asking runners to move behind it...Date of review: July 29, 2012

Matrox Graphics Tuesday unveiled its DualHead2Go adapter that enables dual-display capabilities to notebooks or desktops that lack such functionality due to insufficient amount of outputs. The solution may be interested to professionals who already have high-quality high-performance graphics adapter and require two monitors to increase productivity.
"An increasing number of professionals are using laptops as their main computer, but they still want the advantages of a multi-display workstation while at the office. DualHead2Go is a breakthrough product that solves this need by creating a cost-effective, space-saving, multi-display docking station for a laptop," explained Dan Wood, vice president technical marketing at Matrox Graphics.
Matrox DualHead2Go Dual Analog Edition is an external adapter that can be plugged to an analogue output of any graphics card and then divide the resolution by the card across two displays which are also connected using D-Sub connectors to the DualHead2Go adapter. The devices supports 2048x768 resolution (at 60Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz) and 2560x1024 (at 60Hz) resolution primarily allowing to connect a couple of 15", 17" and 19" LCD panels. It is unclear whether and when Matrox unveils Dual Digital Edition.
"Since DualHead2Go is an external upgrade, it's also ideal for adding an extra display to a closed, already validated, mission-critical system or to computers with no available expansion slots," Mr. Wood said.
DualHead2Go harnesses the capabilities of the system's existing GPU or integrated graphics for acceleration of all 2D, 3D and video rendering. There is no image distortion and no scaling to the original raw pixels generated from the existing graphics accelerator. By using DualHead2Go in conjunction with the built-in display of a laptop, users can benefit with up to three displays of independent information at a time, Matrox explained.
The new adapter from Matrox Graphics is compatible with variety of graphics cores built-into chipsets from Intel Corp. as well as certain graphics processors from ATI Technologies and NVIDIA Corp. for both desktops and laptops. The full list of compatible and incompatible devices can be found at Matrox's web-site.
Available in mid-November 2005, DualHead2Go – Dual Analog Edition, has a suggested retail price of $169. This product will be available from authorized resellers worldwide or, in North America and

Change needed in Legion
To the editor:
At 7 p.m. on Monday, May 13, 2013, the New Ulm American Legion Post and its affiliated organizations will hold annual elections at the Legion club rooms. If you are a member of our local post #132, it is both your right and duty to attend that meeting and vote for our next year's officers. Your vote matters, so it is important that everyone gets out to vote!
Over the last year, many troubling things have happened to the New Ulm American Legion that have affected our post's image in the community. We currently have a post commander, and his officers, who have run the club with an iron hand. If you do not like things that have been going on at the club, but feel uneasy expressing your opinions; and/or you anticipate being made to feel uncomfortable at the club, or even banned for a period of time, then now is the time to act with your vote.
These things have actually happened to members of the New Ulm American Legion Post. Many phone calls have been made to Second District members concerning the many issues occurring at the local post. Unfortunately, they felt they could not openly identify themselves by getting involved with solutions. This kind of leadership is not leadership. Your vote can make all the difference.
A very dedicated, active, lifetime member of the Auxiliary, who has been active for over 35 years, was accused of talking about Legion officers and employees. She then received a letter from the commander, signed by him, a few of his officers and several auxiliary officers, stating that she is banned from the legion post and all of its functions for having a negative attitude! After this ban directive was delivered, this auxiliary member felt so passionate about her organization that she ignored the ban and attended last month's Auxiliary meeting only to be removed from the premises by police escort!
This is not the only person that the current Post's officers have treated inappropriately. For example, past managers have been banned from the Legion. Within 30 days of the current executive board taking office, the bar managers, two bartenders, a gambling employee, and the kitchen manager all quit because of the working environment. This group also fired a bartender who is a young father and a veteran of the Iraqi War. He was told he could not continue working there because he remained friends with past management. Our government has asked everyone to provide employment to our troops who are reentering civilian life. Incentives have been provided to businesses that provide employment to these returning soldiers. The local American Legion Post has a sign in front of the building that says "Support Our Troops."
The current commander told an auxiliary member she doesn't help with any legion functions. Here is a quick rundown of what she has done over the last 35 years:
Managed the Steak Fry for 2.5 years
Made four capes for the Auxiliary Color Guard
Repaired flags that fly on the "Avenue of Flags"
Marched with the color guard for over 20 years
Worked her way up to serve as 2nd District Auxiliary President
Held many different positions within the local and district auxiliary
Personally provided dinner on Christmas Day for over 30 people at the Fischer House (located at the Mpls- St. Paul VA Hospital) at her expense
Patronized the legion in its many different product sales events, Bingo, and frequent meals
It's time to get involved! Asking all members to please go to the New Ulm American Legion Post on Monday to VOTE! Every vote counts. WE NEED CHANGES!

JPMorgan's New CIO Tied to Madoff, Federal Reserve, LTCM
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Matt Zames, the executive tapped to take over management of JPMorgan Chase(JPM) 's chief investment office (CIO), has a controversial resume that appears tailor-made to add to indignation over Wall Street's outsized influence and penchant for risk-taking.
Zames allegedly told a colleague about suspicions regarding Bernie Madoff some 18 months before his Ponzi scheme was revealed to the public.
|JPMorgan is the clear analyst favorite among big banks.
He also worked at Long Term Capital Management, the now-infamous hedge fund comprised of top academics and Nobel Prize-winning economists whose blow-up rattled global markets in the late 1990s.
Zames also heads the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, a Wall Street committee that advises the U.S. Treasury on managing its debt.
JPMorgan's CIO has been thrust into the spotlight following last week's disclosure that it is sitting on $2 billion in losses, less than a month after JPMorgan Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon dismissed press reports voicing concerns about the CIO as "a complete tempest in a teapot." Dimon now says he was "dead wrong."
Zames, a co-head of fixed income at JPMorgan, will replace Ina Drew, who resigned in the wake of the losses.
A call to Zames was referred to JPMorgan's press office. A call to the bank's chief spokesman was not returned.

CANANDAIGUA – F.F. Thompson Hospital will soon begin using an integrated electronic medical records system to enhance patient care by efficiently and securely documenting, managing and sharing patient data. The new system goes live within the hospital on Sunday, June 24.
"The goal of this project has always been to put the patient first, and having an electronic medical record is one way of ensuring the very best quality of care for our patients," says President/CEO of Thompson Health Linda M. Farchione, FACHE.
Benefits of this electronic medical records system include:
· One place where medical providers can access a patient's medical history, including allergies and medications. This gives providers a more complete picture of a patient's medical history, with the information stored in one location.
· A secure way of sharing data from locations throughout the health system in real-time. This allows providers, from anywhere within or outside of the health system, to access to their patients' current medical data.
For patients, this means receiving the care they need in an even more timely manner. It also means better-coordinated care, with all of their healthcare providers kept up-to-date in real-time. It also allows the patient and their family members to become more involved in their own healthcare decision making. Patients are asked to please bring their insurance cards to present at registration.
F.F. Thompson Hospital's new system also includes laboratory, radiology and other test results, document imaging and patient history to enhance the quality of patient care and support growth.

Posted on 01/16/2013 4:45:54 PM PST by Sioux-san
It's a battle between Tim Tebow and worldliness, and right now worldliness is winning -- or was, until last weekend. It always seems to win.
Really, it never does (in the end).
Let's back up a moment.
Tebow, as you probably recall, is the openly Christian quarterback who often wins in improbable (read: miraculous) fashion. Two years ago, he and his mother made headlines when they appeared in a pro-life Super Bowl commercial (controversial because it stood against abortion).
Last year his remarkable, come-from-behind victories as quarterback for the Denver Broncos captivated the American imagination.
"Tebowing" became a new way to pray (kneeling, helmet off and held at the knee, head bowed at the sideline). He wore that "eye paint" with biblical references (the nerve!).
A year ago this month in a dramatic playoff game against Pittsburgh, the Broncos set the NFL overtime record (regular season or playoffs) for the fastest overtime ever, winning in 11 seconds with just one, 80-yard play. He had done the same any number of times as a Gator at the University of Florida, where he was the youngest at the time ever to win the Heisman Trophy (his sophomore year).
It was a culmination of a miraculous series of games that took the underdog Broncos to a spot few expected them to be.
Tebow's reward?
He was unceremoniously and in a humiliating way traded to the New York Jets when a world-class but aging and injured quarterback named Peyton Manning became available.
The Broncos said good-bye to Tebow and agreed to pay Manning $96 million over a five-year period -- certain now, with Manning, that they would not only win playoff games but probably the Super Bowl.
(Excerpt) Read more at spiritdaily.com ...
No. It's about teams not having to completely re-design an offense to accommodate a great kid, a great athlete, but a lousy passer. Why is this so hard to grasp?
Indeed, the wicked hate the rightious with a hatred even they cannot understand.
Tim Tebow's "saga" mostly involves the fact that he sucks as a quarterback. The arm is not there, the mechanics are not there, etc. His leadership ability is off the chart, but we are talking about the NFL, not a charity organization.
Tebow could run the option offense as he did in college. However the QB's who are doing this successfully now can all throw the ball in the pocket far better than Tebow.
The Broncos didn't want to build the Offense around Tebow's skill set, the JEts used him to sell Personal Seat Licenses.
He really doesn't have the body to be a QB. HE should become an H back and he could have a very good NFL career.
One other fact. Tebow WON a playoff game, Manning has yet to do that.
of course Manning is making 10 times as much.
Also" Tebow had much better stats in college than the guy that replaced him.
You are correct. Tebow's atrocious record with the Bronco's proves your case beyond a shadow of a doubt...
Oh wait.
He led the Bronco's to a lot of victories.
Never mind.
You are correct. Tebow's atrocious record with the Bronco's proves your case beyond a shadow of a doubt...
Oh wait.
He led the Bronco's to a lot of victories.
Never mind.
The guy is a physical specimen. Is there any reason he can't be used as an H-back, or tight end? Does he refuse to play any other position?
Here's hoping Tebow hangs on to his dream of becoming a bonafide NFL QB and not let negative or doubtful minds define who and what he is. Keep believing and working at it Tim.
Anyone who watched the playoff game on Sunday could see that Denver still had a QB with a suspect arm and an offense specifically designed to cover his shortcomings....only this QB was paid $13 million more. And Manning's last pass was so weak it was picked off
The NFL is trying to run Tim Tebow out of the league. When the Jax Jaguars refused to even consider Tebow....that told me the NFL is blackball him. Tebow would make the Jags $$....and they are passing on him? Right....
Why would the NFL possibly be trying to run Tim Tebow out of the league? The NFL is about money. Period. And Tebow is making them money.
The painful truth is, he's just not a good quarterback. Yes, he had a great run with the Broncos. He benefited from a great defense, and place kicker who was lights-out fantastic. But watching him try to pass is just painful. And there's a reason NFL teams don't run the option... defenses are just too fast.
There are plenty of strong, vocal Christians in the NFL. Its a paranoid fantasy to think that for some bizarre reason Tim Tebow is being singled out.
The Jags suck. They've always sucked and they always will in the future. They covered up a couple thousand seats in the stadium and it's still impossible to get enough people into the stadium to play a game on local tv. Tebows career, if he is to have one at all would be destroyed if he were to play for the Jags. And by the way, they're my hometown team.
In the end it is Tebow's call 15 years as a tight end or H back or 15 games as a Q.B.
It really is up to Tebow now.
Agreed. Tebow won a National championship in the SEC twice. Takes a 1-4 team to the playoffs and beat the Steelers. He's getting blackballed. I want the Browns to get him. We have 3 average qb's here. He would be fun to watch. He can take a hit too.
Can you say Mark Sanchez? 66.9 rating.
Sorry but Tim Tebow is a lousy QB.. Plain and simple..
I am what you would call a secular Freeper... religion is just not my thing, or minimally, my faith is mine and I am unwilling to proselytize something so very personal.
Also... I find televised professional football (NFL) boring, and nothing but a venue to sell cornchips and pasteurized beer made out of rice (I was very spoiled with a roommate that subscribed to Setanata on DirecTV and became captivated by the truly athletic sport of Rugby... TV timeouts? What? In rugby they keep playing as the wounded are tended to on the field of battle).
Regardless of everything above I have babbled about, thank you for posting this link. It was well-written and tells a "good story"... which is needed right now while we are all feeling humiliated and walked on by the Godless Communist/Occupy Pennsylvania Avenue Community Organizer that 49% of this country voted for... a man currently on a mission to strip law-abiding citizens of their God-given right to take up arms to protect the rest of our rights from being usurped by purple-lipped tyrants.
God is not mock and while we can't see all ends we know that He is in control of the situation.
Ok I am simple. Please explain to me why Tebow is a losy QB.
I know what people said about what the coaches said, and what the films showed, but how much of that is really Tebow and how much is that the offensive line isn't giving him the chance? Anyone could look like they don't have the skills if they're constantly being chased out of the pocket by a line that can't hold.
How's Tebow's career as a quarterback been working out for him? LOL
Tebow could be a diviner in the cult of Santeria, and drinking goat blood on the sideline, and the NFL/ESPN/media complex wouldn't care a whit, as long as he was a good quarterback.
No, Tebow hasn't shown good ability on pre-snap reads or pst snap reads that he needs to make it to be a minimally effective passer. Beyond that, his mecahnics are atrocious, his footwork is poor, his throwing motion is awkward, and the time between his decision and his release is far too long, largely related to his throwing motion. Other than that, he's a great Quarterback.
Trent Dilfer has become a fairly well recognized authority on what successful NFL QBs do as far as their overall throwing mechanics. He says the Tebow mechanics are really far off.
I don't know about reading defenses my guess is experience is the best remedy, but I am of the opinion that technique can be corrected and improved, though it takes time, tremendous effort, and a lot of coaching.
I can't really point out where Tebow's mechanics have improved from one season to the next. I suspect that this may have been the issue that the Jets complained about his practice habits, though I have no proof and the Jets are a real mess.
— but Tebot was great to watch at UF.
Yes, he was. It was painful to watch as a Seminoles fan.
The difference is that he wasn't up against linebackers that were all as big and fast as him. His running ability the covered his poor throwing technique and Florida had receivers good enough to cause matchup problems. That is the reason Tebow couldn't beat Alabama his senior year.
Tebow needs to hire somebody to work on his throwing every day this off season and someone else to drill him on defensive reads. He has the arm and the leadership, but those are not enough alone.
Ping for later
Yep. American elitists have been abusing out of the closet Christians for a long time. They despise good and celebrate evil. It's going to become systematic unless we can come together and become a political force they do not want to mess with.
I would just note, for someone who "sucks" as a QB, Tebow won more playoff games for the Broncos that Manning did.
But he won the Heisman Award.
Football is a business. If Tim Tebow strongly contributes to winning, he'll play ... maybe with some diversions until the best use of his ability is found.
I expected this article to be about his falling into sin in the fleshpots of New York. That would be a bad outcome. Experiencing either hardship because of his faith or a difficult professional situation (I'm not qualified to say which) isn't much, in light of eternity.
No, people here would be demanding the NFL to drive him out of the league cause he is a Muslim..
There's no reason he can't be used at QB. He's a winner in that position and sells tickets.
I read his autobiography, and he's had to struggle with his coaches since Pee Wee to let him play QB.
