By Emily Le Coz/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – It's election day, yet it remains unclear whether Wayne Chrestman is a viable candidate for Lee County election commissioner.
Chrestman's name appears on the District 2 ballot even though the county's new district lines, approved two months after Chrestman had qualified for the race, place him in District 3.
The candidate didn't find out about the new lines until Thursday, when he picked up an absentee ballot to cast his vote.
Since then, he has sought answers from election officials about how to remedy the situation. As of Monday afternoon, no one could offer a solution. That leaves not only Chrestman in the dark, but voters, too.
They can write Chrestman's name on the District 3 ballot, but it won't count, said Lee County Circuit Clerk Joyce Loftin. They also can vote for him on the District 2 ballot, but it's unlikely he'll be able to serve.
Loftin said she feels bad for Chrestman but that it's not her responsibility to resolve the issue. It was Chrestman's responsibility, she said, to track the redistricting process and qualify for the correct race.
Although the U.S. Department of Justice didn't approve the new district map until mid-August, the county board of supervisors had issued the proposed map prior to the June 4 qualifying deadline.
Current 1st District Commissioner William S. Pickens also lost his turf through redistricting, but he had followed the mapping process and anticipated the change before the qualifying deadline, Loftin said. He registered in District 5 this spring.

Did You Know? Countdown to Ramadan (07/29)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Ramadan &
the Islamic Faith
July 29 : 03 days to Ramadan*
Did you know that the terms Sunni and Shiite refer to two different sects within the Islamic faith?
Their primary difference is founded on their differing opinions about religious succession. Sunni believe leaders must be appointed by consensus, while Shiite see succession as a function on one's relationship to Muhammad's original successors, or caliphs.
Observed by more than one billion Muslims around the world, the month of Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification achieved through fasting, self-sacrifice and prayers. We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Ramadan!*
*Please Note: According to Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) the first day of fasting in North America would be Monday, August 1, 2011. Elsewhere depends where you live.

After 25 years, it's time to lose the Windows computer and get a Mac.
Good agile developers are self confident; confident enough to trust interaction designers to do interaction design without distrustful oversight.
There are lots of programmers who understand that relational databases are not the only approach to solving problems.
It is time to build software.
Test-driven-development isn't fully understood. In fact, software testing isn't fully understood.
When even the leanest developer in the room sees really high quality BDUF for the first time, they get all woo-woo and want some for themselves.
Getting good software built demands the contributions of many different personalities, competencies, and roles, most of which are new and as-yet ill-defined.
Two programmers pairing can create more and better code in less time than one programmer can (I already knew this, but it's always good to see it in action).
Even this jaded old fart can still get excited about changing the world.
There are many undiscovered and unfilled product niches on the Web, and one of them is "quality".
People want a leader with a vision.
Elisabeth Hendrickson (@testobsessed) is a magical woman. To paraphrase Tom Robbins, "she's been around the world eight times and met everybody twice." Like a great chef or symphony conductor, Elisabeth knows how to combine the unexpected to create the sublime. She brought together a dozen people from all over the country, each with different skills, background, desires, and expectations, and then she blended them together into a cohesive, happy, effective team.
The pre-written code I arrived with was called "legacy" with a grimace, and was quarantined until discarded. Moral: Non-TDD code is properly regarded like a ticking time bomb.
For interaction design, you can't have too many white boards, made from porcelain-coated steel, firmly mounted to the wall. For agile development, that isn't such a big deal.
Story-mapping is a major component of the bridge between interaction design and agile development.
Story-tracking software isn't quite there yet.
Data-miners think differently. I don't think like a data-miner.
The Union Pacific Railroad, headquartered in Omaha, is not as "Dilbert-y" as it might seem.
There's an app for that.
Pointy-haired managers are soooo counter-productive.
While I cling to my tree-based books and papers, bit-based books and papers are actually more capable in many ways. Is my nostalgia based on familiarity rather than quality? Did you just feel the Earth move, too?
Social programming.
While everyone expounds breathlessly about browser-based apps, they still spend the lion's share of their time using native, client-side apps.
Software patterns are a powerful tool.
Sometimes there's a necessary part of a program that is just ugly. You can refactor or reconceptualize it, but instead of shrinking it, you're just moving the ugly part around. I call this the "Irreducible Nugget of Ugliness", or INU.
I love inventing new TLAs.
While easier than it used to be, it's still hard for an old software guy like me to keep his hands off.
Some people are perfectly content to not know about the personas and they still get good work done right.
There's nothing new under the sun.
At a granular level in software development, what used to be easy is hard, and what used to be hard is easy. At a broader level, creating software still remains one of the most difficult things you can attempt.
The power of web development and modern tools is so great that it tempts even me to de-emphasize the user's goals.
I worry a lot about applying an indelible Sharpie to a precious whiteboard.
Face time is vital when you are creating. If you are creating a product, you need face time with the product team; if you are creating a company, you need face time with everyone in the company.
Flickr is a steaming pile of software.
The only way to really get to know individual people is by devoting attention and time to them. The only way to really get to know your craft is by devoting attention and time to it. This is most definitely not a coincidence.
There are still a few bugs in the system.
The road to mastery is simple: just imagine the problem-set as being far bigger than everybody else does, and then give it attention appropriate to its size.
When you're in the groove, there's no 9 to 5.
When you finish something, ring a bell.
Dale Emery (@dhemery) said "I can give you a silver bullet, but be aware that you might be the werewolf."
Candy remains a powerful motivational tool in the software world. Or maybe it's just that the brain requires lots of cheap energy.
When you own something, you lose a lot of perspective about it.
Product ownership is far too complex and important to be left to amateurs, even if they actually own the product.
It's okay to sit down during a Stand-up.
When you are really good at doing some job, you are usually unaware of the important nuances that make you so good.
Establish one really big goal, then establish lots of little, intermediate tasks that will get you to your goal. Then celebrate each task as you achieve it.
At a certain point the barriers to entry fall so low that no excuses withstand scrutiny.
*Elisabeth Hendrickson has recently opened a new test-and-development training facility in Pleasanton CA called Agilistry. It's bright and airy, well-lit and well-stocked, and it feels like home the minute you walk in. In order to publicize her new facility, she very generously hosted a week-long intensive learning exercise.
She invited eleven different people with widely varied skill sets, backgrounds, and interests. She challenged them to build a website in five days using the best practices of interaction design, agile programming, and test-driven-development. We christened it "AgileUpToHere" (#au2h) and it exceeded everyone's expectations (you can see our results here.
Since it was my 15-year-old homophone web site that was being rebuilt, I nominally played the role of product owner, but I was an observer, an instigator, a goad, and a participant. It's hard to remember when I had so much fun or learned so much.
If you want to learn to be great, I strongly recommend Elisabeth and Agilistry.

Field Experiences - Extensive Practica
Without a doubt, one of the most exciting and unique things you will experience as an undergraduate at the U of L Faculty of Education is the extended opportunities you'll be given to observe and lead a classroom of learners.
As part of your field experience, you will spend 27 weeks off-campus in a broad range of school settings, more than twice the amount required for teacher certification in Alberta.
The following offers a brief overview of the practicum experiences.
Expectations by Practica (pdf)
Education 2500
The best way to find out if teaching is the career for you is by experiencing what it's like to be in a classroom. Education 2500 is designed to open your eyes to the realities of this challenging - but rewarding - profession by assigning you to a school classroom for 60 hours (20 mornings). During this time, you'll have the chance to function in a role similar to a teacher assistant.
Professional Semester One (PS I)
After you've been admitted to the Faculty of Education and completed some required courses, you'll begin your first official practicum. In the PS I practicum you'll be assigned full-time to a classroom for approximately 125 hours (5 weeks).
Professional Semester Two (PS II)
After PS I and completing four more on-campus courses, your PS II begins. In PS II you'll be assigned full-time to a classroom for approximately 150 hours (6 weeks).
Professional Semester Three (PS III)
Your experience in the classroom culminates in a 15-week full semester teaching internship that not only prepares you as a teacher, it helps you to begin nurturing the kind of professional relationships that will benefit you, your career and the students you will teach.
We are very proud of the way we have designed our practicum component and prouder still to know that our renowned program consistently produces teachers of excellence.
To learn more about our unique and highly successful approach to hands-on teacher training the Field Experience Office is here to ensure that all of this happens smoothly for you.
If there is anything you need to know about practicum issues, policies and procedures, you should be able to find it on this website or in the Comprehensive Field Experience Handbook or the
The Parent Guide addresses common questions about the roles and responsibilities of U of L Faculty of Education student teachers/interns when they complete their practica in schools.

There are three kinds of custards: baked, stirred and frozen, (a.k.a. ice cream).
DEFINITION: Custard: a custard is any liquid thickened by the coagulation of egg proteins. A custard's consistency depends on the ratio of eggs to liquid and the type of liquid used. The more eggs used, the thicker and richer, the final product will be. The richer the liquid (cream vs milk, for example), the thicker the final product. Most custards, with the notable exception of pastry creams, are not thickened by starch.
The above definition comes from the 2003 edition of On Cooking. This is a culinary textbook over 1200 pages and a wonderful source of cooking and baking knowledge. There are enough recipes in this one book to satisfy any cook for many years. Since that's true, I wonder sometimes why I have close to 200 cookbooks on my shelves.
One of the favorite desserts of my daughter-in-law is crème brûlée. So when she visits I do my best to find the time to make this rich treat. Crème brûlée is a popular dessert offered in some of the finer restaurants throughout the Chicago area. However, I have found that I'm much better off making it at home. Not only does it cost a whole lot less, which appeals to my frugal side, I have rarely found a restaurant that produces a crème brûlée that equals the one from the recipe I will share in this column.
I may sound like an old saw, but I will again encourage my readers to use the finest ingredients possible when making this recipe. As a matter of fact we're far enough out in the country that you can easily get some farm fresh eggs. Most farm fresh eggs have yolks that are more orange in color than they yellow. So the color of the custard would certainly be different than the color you'll find in a restaurant. But farm fresh eggs have a better flavor than retail eggs. Beyond the eggs the quality of the butter, cream and pure vanilla extract is of utmost importance. I would recommend using a vanilla bean as the best source of the vanilla flavor.
You will need a torch to caramelize the sugar and achieve that wonderful and warm slightly burnt sugar crust. These are available at good cooking stores, or try spreading the sugar around and placing it under the broiler. This can be very risky, but it can be done. Be sure to place your ramekins on a baking sheet for ease of handling.
Classic Crème Brûlée
Serves 6
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups heavy cream
pinch of salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract, (or the scrapings of 1/2 of a vanilla bean)
Preheat oven to 300 F
In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and salt until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is a thick pale yellow. Add cream and vanilla, or vanilla bean, and continue to whisk until well blended. Strain into a large bowl skimming off any foam or bubbles.
Divide mixture among six ramekins or custard cups. Place a paper towel on the bottom of a 9 x 13 x 2 baking dish, place five of the six ramekins into the baking dish and slowly pour some boiling water into the baking dish until the level of the water is halfway up the custard cups. Place the sixth ramekin into the baking dish and gently place the whole thing in the oven.
Bake until the custard is set around the edges but still just a little loose in the center, about 45 minutes depending on your oven. Remove from oven and leave in a water bath until cooled to room temperature. Refrigerate cups for approximately 2 hours or up to two days, covered with plastic wrap.
When ready to serve, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of white sugar over each custard. Use a small hand-held torch to melt the sugar. Enjoy!

Friday night's Vanier Cup game between the McMaster Marauders and the Laval Rouge et Or will feature the best team over the last two years in McMaster and the best team in the last ten years in Laval.
It could be one heck of a match-up but it will be hard to surpass last year's overtime thriller between these teams. I guess expecting another overtime game is expecting too much.
I believe it's nice that the two top-rated teams in Canada meet in the CIS final. McMaster went undefeated this year and now has a CIS record streak of 22 straight wins. Laval lost only one game last year (Vanier Cup) and had only one this season to Montreal. It is very rare when Laval loses more than a single game a year. They haven't lost at home since 2004 and have won an incredulous 57 games on home turf. Now that's home-field advantage.
What kind of game will we have?
While both teams have star players on defence, including several CFL draft choices, both squads have prolific offences with Hec Crighton winner Kyle Quinlan leading the Marauders and Laval getting here with a great balanced attack.
Laval has great offence, defence and special teams just like they have had for most of their 15-year dominance of the Quebec Conference and their six Vanier Cups in seven tries. That's having your way in football.
"I am so glad that the best college player in Canada is playing for me and he touches the ball on every offensive play," said McMaster head coach Stefan Ptaszek. "He is calm under fire and the bigger the game, it seems the better he performs."
For his part, Laval's head coach Glen Constantin has this observation of Quinlan.
"Big players make big plays in big games and that's what he does," Constantin said.
Based on the national semi-finals, the top two teams are in the final. Laval led from the beginning in the Uteck Bowl, shutting down Acadia and winning 42-7. McMaster handled a Calgary team that was expected to perform better by winning 45-6 in the Mitchell Bowl.
The biggest difference in both teams, at least visibly, is at the quarterback position. McMaster has a fifth year quarterback while Laval's QB Tristan Guenon is in his third year with the program but first as a starter.
After last year's overtime loss, is Laval viewing this as a 'revenge game'? Constantin hopes not. "It's business this week. We have to spend our time focusing on the task at hand and not worry about the past" said Constantin.
There is no doubt that the Vanier Cup is being played by two college powerhouse football programs. These schools take this sport seriously.
While McMaster made it to the Vanier Cup and won it last year, four times they took the Yates Cup in the early 2000's and four times they were second best and never made it to the final game.
Under Greg Marshall, McMaster won four Yates Cups from 2000-2003. In 2001, they lost to Manitoba, who went on to the Vanier Cup with an undefeated season. In 2002, they faced Saint Mary's, who won their second straight Vanier Cup. In 2003, they lost a heartbreaker to Laval, 36-32.
Things seemed to have changed. They're winning the Yates Cup now and the national semi-final.
As for Laval, from their first appearance in the final, they've amassed an amazing record with six wins in seven tries. Some of those wins were by a few points, so they've demonstrated they can win the close games as well as the big scores.
The Laval football year starts in January with a training camp in Florida and goes through late November. The Vanier Cup is always on their minds and most times they are battling for it. Jacques Chapdelaine's team won the 1999 Vanier, a 14-10 win against Saint Mary's and Constantin has won the other five.
By the way, Constantin doesn't wear his rings, ever.
"I keep them in a box at home and I'll look at them when I'm finished coaching," Constantin said last year.
Both Constantin and Ptaszek are among the top paid coaches in the CIS and one can add Blake Nill of Calgary and Blake Marshall to that mix.
This year's Vanier Cup will set an attendance record and at least 33,000 tickets have been bought. Also, holding the game during the same weekend as the Grey Cup has turned out to be a good move.
I'm looking forward to watching this Vanier Cup. They seem so close in talent and ability. We'll see Friday night on TSN.

E-commerce veteran Eli Katz launches TheEmob.org.
The way Eli Katz figures, the "patent trolls" already have a good racket going, so why shouldn't e-retailers band together and fight back? That's one of the goals driving his new e-commerce trade group, TheEmob.org, which launched earlier this year. Yes, that's mob as in Mafia, Outfit, Five Families, Cosa Nostra. And just so no one misses the connection, the home page of the site includes an image of a cigar-holding gangster, his suit about as shiny as a road slickened by rain. He sits menacingly in a leather chair and is flanked by two bald goons who look as though they've already dug the hole.
Katz, whose gritty Brooklyn accent makes this Midwestern hick imagine shoot-outs in Little Italy and bootleg cigarettes sold from car trunks, has been an e-retail capo since the 1990s. Most recently he was president of watch retail site Ashford.com. He describes himself as a "thought leader" and "pioneer." I can't vouch for that—I've watched enough cable reruns of mob movies to know one shouldn't vouch for a stranger unless absolutely sure, thank you very much "Donnie Brasco"—but I can tell you he seems to be spoiling for a fight.
In case you've been hiding under the mattresses and didn't know, retailers large, medium and small face enormous financial pressures from companies that hold patents for such vital e-commerce technology as site search, production recommendations and navigation. (Let me take this chance to shamelessly plug Internet Retailer's rocking new cover story about patent infringement suits that target e-retailers, which you can read by clicking here.) The patent holders—also called non-practicing entities by those with less of an emotional and monetary stake in the matter—tend to target e-commerce operators individually in hopes of getting them to settle for lump sums or costly licensing fees. A recent change to patent law could make that harder for patent holders, but it appears unlikely that e-retailers will escape the patent-infringement threat.
As part of his new group's mission, Katz wants to offer some much-needed protection for small- and medium-sized retailers. For now, that means the two dozen or so retailers who have ponied up the $3,600 annual membership fee can share tips about patent defense among themselves and receive advice about , say, which law firms are good to approach and which vendors will help e-retailers in suits involving e-commerce technology—and which won't. In the future might come some sort of joint defense fund for retailers facing patent actions, though Katz is quick to say what TheEmob.org will not become. "We're not setting out to be a pseudo-law firm," he says, that freaking accent of his both threatening and friendly, like most of the interesting New Yorkers I've known. "Mafia-style, we will settle these things a little differently."
All kidding aside—almost—the work TheEmob.org hopes to do in this area represents a big need for the e-commerce industry, especially those retailers who can't afford to settle patent cases with what amounts to petty cash, as is the case with Amazon.com and some other huge players. That's according to the experts such as Lee Cheng, general counsel for Newegg Inc., who has become almost a folk hero in the industry for his vigorous work against the so-called trolls, and who will speak at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012 in a session entitled "Fighting back against patent suits: What to do and how to do it." And that's also according to many other retailers who keep quiet because they can't afford to be as brave.
I don't know whether TheEmob.org will succeed—I'm the skeptical type (sue me, it's how I pay for my rent, groceries and beer.) But I don't doubt the enthusiasm shown by Katz. To be sure, the trade group also has other purposes, including what appears to be a much greater one than lawsuit protection: Simply helping those small- and mid-sized retailers figure out how to survive in the Darwinian world of online retail. But it will be telling to see if retailers who feel they are under attack over patents will band together under this would-be Godfather.
Amazon is increasingly demanding of the retailers and brands that sell it products.

Forum examines looted Holocaust art
By Eric Coker
This year's Holocaust Era Assets Conference in the Czech Republic proved productive in the effort to help survivors and their families recover property taken by the Nazis, a Binghamton University alumnus said Nov. 20.
"It finally gave us a way of moving forward," said Owen Pell '80 (pictured), a U.S. litigator and a delegate at the Prague conference. "We have an agenda and we have goals." Pell returned to Binghamton to speak at the Binghamton University Forum about "The Fate of Art Looted During the Holocaust."
"I've always liked coming back to Binghamton because I really don't know if I can ever do enough to give back to the University and town for what they gave to me when I went here as a student," he said. "It was a wonderful experience that lives on."
Pell began his talk by discussing the history and nature of the problem. The thefts were "calculated and coordinated as a part of the Nazi program of eliminating Jewish culture," Pell said. Before the war, Nazis applied wealth and flight taxes, while forcing the sale of some Jewish assets.
"Once the war started in earnest, it was just out and out looting," Pell said.
Millions of pieces of property were never recovered. Victims were hindered by legal standards that varied from country to country, a lack of access to information and the general whereabouts of the property.
"If a burglar breaks into your house, you're still in your home," Pell said. "At least you know where you are. At the end of the Holocaust, the entire Jewish population of Europe was either wiped out or dispersed. … The victims were dispersed and the goods were dispersed."
In 1998, countries were brought together for the first time to look at the problem of property identification and restitution. But the Washington Conference on Holocaust Era Assets only acknowledged that the problem existed. A decade later, the United States pressured European nations to return to the table. The former Czechoslovakia, the first nation taken over by Germany in 1938, embraced the role of host and the June 2009 conference was established.
Pell, a partner with the New York City-based law firm White & Case, was asked by the U.S. government to serve as legal adviser for the U.S. delegation. He helped officials draft remarks and briefed them about meetings with foreign delegations.
The conference ended with the adoption of the Terezin Declaration. The Europeans accepted the idea of "best practices," or evidence of what the law should be moving toward, as opposed to the multiple legal standards. A Terezin Institute will then issue a set of "best practices" to the European Union that would be used as an implementation to return property in eastern Europe.
With the Holocaust-era population shrinking 1 percent per month, Pell has long been an advocate of best practices.
"To me, the fastest way to resolve a lot of Holocaust issues will be some form of civil rights-like legislation that will begin to establish precedent, begin to change the way the market for certain kinds of property works and will begin to alter behavior," he said.
Despite the success in Prague, obstacles remain.
Pell pointed to Auschwitz, the former concentration camp that is maintained by the Polish government as a memorial. Exhibits there include property taken from Jews, such as cardboard suitcases, baby toys and artificial limbs.
A Holocaust survivor visited Auschwitz, saw his suitcase and demanded it back, Pell said. The Polish delegation came to the Prague conference saying that the site and artifacts were good for humanity and that the Polish government should serve as custodians over it. Pell wants the Poles to be consistent: be custodians, not owners, of looted property. The Poles are considering the request.
"There's no perfect justice here," Pell said. "You can make lots of arguments as to why the man who suffered should get his suitcase. But you can also make arguments why it's important for future generations to be able to go to Auschwitz and see that suitcase. These are the kinds of issues we are sorting out."
Pell compared some of the issues to "banging your head against the wall." Eventually, he said, calluses develop and he and others keep chipping away at a mountain of a problem.
"The good news about what happened at Prague is now there is a way to chip at the mountain better. We have better tools. Hopefully over the next few years, maybe we'll start seeing a little more justice in the area as we sort out some of these difficult problems."

Reasonable priced alternative to a 4 year university. Informed teachers and staff that is always willing to help.…

I think that the specific program's are to be taken seriously and very creditable. I love the atmosphere on campus. They will give you a good support system but you…
Madison Area Technical College provides accessible high quality learning experiences that serve the community.
All of my classes are at the downtown campus, so I can't speak for everywhere, but all of the faculty who I have interacted with have all been extremely helpful and nice. My fellow students are pretty nice too. The downtown campus is conveniently located only a few blocks from my apartment, which is wonderful. Walkers beware though, there are some crosswalks where cars just never stop for you. Leave with plenty of time to get stopped for a few minutes by traffic. Although I enrolled at MATC with the ultimate purpose of transferring, I am enjoying my time here so far.Read More
They are expanding throughout the Madison area, so there are quite a few campuses. The city is very livable although the downtown area can be busy at times. The nice thing about MATC is that it the campuses are in the heart of the city so it may feel like you are attending UW-Madison.Read More
I enjoyed the school just not the city with my living situation being downtown to loud + no sleep - cranky person.Read More
My classes are fun and interesting and there are also a lot of school and community activities to keep my interests sparked.Read More

Virgin Blue Hits A Century: 100th Group of Cabin Crew Students Graduate13/08/2007
After seven years of interviewing more than 7200 applicants and training those successful for more than 2600 positions, the 100th group of Virgin Blue Cabin Crew students have passed their exams and been given their 'wings' to fly.
In celebration of this momentous occasion, the 28 newest team members to join the ranks of Virgin Blue's Cabin Crew officially graduated at a special 'Wings Night' event in Brisbane, a company tradition that began when the very first group of Cabin Crew graduated in 2000.
Since that time more than 43,000 people have registered their interest online for positions as Cabin Crew with Virgin Blue, with over 10,000 applicants currently awaiting review.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "I congratulate not only our most recent graduates for passing what is a very intense training course, but also our team members from recruitment, training, uniforms and pay roll who have fulfilled an incredible task in finding, educating, clothing and remunerating thousands of successful applicants over the last seven years".
An enormous amount of man hours goes into training Cabin Crew to the highest levels in line with safety and CASA requirements and Virgin Blue's service promise.
Before Cabin Crew are able to operate a scheduled service they undertake over 200 hours of face-to-face training over five weeks involving comprehensive theory and practical sessions, 30 hours of testing and endless hours of private study.
Once they have graduated Cabin Crew spend two weeks under the supervision of a colleague before they are able to operate independently. Training, compliance and testing is then an ongoing aspect of the role for all Virgin Blue Cabin Crew to ensure maintenance of the highest safety and service standards.
Since launching in 2000, Virgin Blue Cabin Crew have gone through 10,000 pairs of shoes, 12,000 skirts and 38,000 collared shirts. They have also served more than 61,000 cups of coffee, over 80,000 packets of cheese and crackers, and collectively flew around 20,400 hours in the last 12 months.
Multi award winning airline Virgin Blue and international carriers Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue currently operate a fleet of 53 modern Boeing 737 aircraft flying to 22 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Virgin Blue was the first airline in the world to launch a Government-certified carbon offset program, where Guests can offset the carbon emissions from their flights for as little as $1.

The 2013 NCAA tournament officially begins tonight in Dayton, Ohio, with two first round games — but watching each and every game of the tournament this year has become much trickier, especially if you want to stream on a mobile device or tablet. For the first time, if any game you hope to stream on a device (through the official NCAA March Madness Live iOS or Android app) is airing on TBS, TNT or truTV, you will need to authenticate your cable/satellite subscription. The app will also grant users a four-hour grace period to watch games without logging in, in case you have misplaced your information or simply don't have a subscription.
Unlike second round matchups (and beyond), the first round is only televised on truTV. All other games that are carried on CBS will be available to stream for free on mobile devices regardless of your television provider.
If you're using a computer, you can stream every game for free through NCAA.com.
The first game of the tournament sees 16-seeds North Carolina A&T play Liberty for the right to join the field of 64 and face Louisville. The game begins at 6:40 p.m. ET, on truTV.
Tonight at 9:10 p.m. on truTV, 11-seeds St. Mary's and Middle Tennessee will play the nightcap, with the winner advancing to the Midwest regional to face Memphis.
The other two First Four games take place Wednesday night. At 6:40 p.m.Long Island and James Madison face off with the winner advancing to play Indiana, and at 9:10 p.m. La Salle and Boise State play for the right to face Kansas State.
So how do you find truTV? The March Madness Live app provides a nifty channel finder. Just input your zip code and choose your cable/satellite provider, and the app will give you the channel listings for CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV.

To me, these bluebonnets, scotch broom and wild poppies symbolize the abundant blessings of Country Living; these are the tangible pleasures that surround you day in and day out where the air is pure and the sun is bright. This scene might be found any place where the hills and valleys are alive with nature's harmony - the Texas hill country, the Smoky Mountains, the rolling Cascades, or even my native Sierra foothills."

"These are the cutest shoes ever. The platform makes the shoe really comfy but limits the fliexiblity of the shoe. I had to stretch them a little bit because my second and third toe are longer than my first. I also wanted the black and white ones but my size was not available."

Love, love, love these shoes!
"The very first time I wore these shoes I was able to wear them the entire day at work with no discomfort. Generally I have to "break in" my shoes the first few times I wear them, but not with these. They were very comfortable from day one. They are the perfect heel height for me and the platform gives them even more stability. They run true to size as well. The color combo is very on-trend right now too!"

|In response to Re: Washer drain
: Typical experience (from this morning):
: Customer:
: : : I have a REALLY old house. My washer was working fine until recently. My sink started filling up when the washer drained. So, I called a drain man and he cleaned out the drain and this stoped. Well, there was duct tape around the drain for the washer since I bought the house (Washer and drier came with the house). Well, drain fiixed I guess I can remove the duct tape right? ... No! I removed it, ran the washer and water overflows out the drain pipe when the washer drains. I did some research and I guess my pipes are too small. the diameter of the pipe is 1 1/2 in. What do I do now? Do I just tape it back up or call a plumber? How much is this going to cost?
: : Shane, How much is this going to cost? Ah yes the most asked question a plumber gets over the phone. Well not to get smart...But when a customer asks me that question I come back with ..Do you know what color my socks are that i am wearing? and of course the answer is No... Well why don't you know what color socks i am wearing? I ask. and the customer says well i can't see them. Well, I can't see your plumbing over the phone either yet most consumers insist that we tell them over the phone what something will cost..O just a ball park price..I won't hold you to it. Yea right.... So who ever reads this i ask or beg you on behalf of most plumbers in business DON'T ASK FOR A PRICE OVER THE PHONE OR OVER THE INTERNET. We can't be accurate, It isn't fair to you , to your plumber or to us. Dale's Plumbing Service Inc LMP

Police have arrested a registered sex offender for the murder of an 8-year-old girl who was kidnapped from a Jacksonville, Fla., Wal-Mart Friday night. The sheriff's department says the suspect was just released from jail May 31. VPC
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A judge has denied bail to a registered sex offender accused of abducting and killing an 8-year-old Florida girl.
Donald James Smith was charged Saturday with murder and kidnapping in the death of Cherish Perrywinkle. Authorities say Smith befriended Cherish and her mother while they shopped Friday night.
Smith's attorney, Fred Gazaleh, told The Florida Times-Union before the hearing that Smith didn't have a chance of getting bail.
Prior to the alleged abduction Friday night, Smith, 56, befriended Charish and her mother at a dollar store, and "offered to take them to Wal-Mart and buy her family some clothes," Williams said.
"They appeared to be down on their luck and he could help them out."
After spending a couple hours inside the Wal-Mart together, Smith offered to buy hamburgers and walked with Charish to the front of the store, Williams said.
Instead of stopping to buy the snack, Smith walked Charish outside and the two of them got into his van, Williams said.
The girl's mother called 911 when she realized Charish and Smith were missing. An Amber Alert was issued, and a tip about a suspicious van spotted in the woods near a church led investigators to Charish's body Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, an officer working at the scene of a traffic crash on Interstate 95 on Saturday morning recognized Smith's van as it drove past her and called it in.
The highway was shut down while other officers pulled Smith over and arrested him. He has not cooperated with investigators, Williams said, and it was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.
Williams declined to answer reporters' questions about how Charish died or what Smith did in the hours between his disappearance with the girl and his arrest, saying that the investigation remains open.
Smith has been a registered sex offender since a 1993 conviction in Duval County for attempted kidnapping and selling obscene materials. He has been arrested several times since then, most recently in 2009 on a charge of child abuse after making obscene phone calls to a 10-year-old girl, making verbal threats, and impersonating a social worker with the Florida Department of Children and Families who claimed to be investigating the girl's family.
Smith pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in that case and was released from jail May 31.
Williams said Smith had just met with police Friday morning to comply with a state law that requires sex offenders to verify their address once a year.
In a highly publicized case in 2009, a 7-year-old northeast Florida girl was abducted while she walked home from school. Police later found Somer Thompson's body in a Georgia landfill. A man who lived with his parents in Somer's Orange Park neighborhood pleaded guilty in 2012 to kidnapping, raping and murdering the girl and was sentenced to life in prison.
Somer's mother was quoted by The Florida Times-Union as saying that she was sickened by the news of Charish's abduction.
"Her (Charish's mother) nightmare has just begun," Diena Thompson said.
Authorities initially spelled the girl's name Charish Perriwinkle in an Amber Alert on Saturday, but later changed her last name to Perrywinkle. Victim's advocate Ann Dugger of the Justice Coalition says she spoke with the girl's mother, who said her daughter's name is Cherish Perrywinkle.

I am near the VA Loma Linda Hospital. I applied for a GS 9, IT Administrator position before Christmas. They would not tell me where I stood in the process, which is funny because the VA is the one that told me I was entitled to know? I came across a VA recruiter at a job fair in San Diego.
The Border Patrol told me I was qualified as a GS 13 for an IT position they have open with a resume score of 89. I am hoping to interview with both in January, that should be high enough to at least get an interview?
No, not in the valleys. The mountains are suppose to get more this week with 3 low fronts that are going threw. We still have show from the last storm and in Eagle Mountain which is west of Lehi was 7 degrees this morning. Hope you have a great New Years and I will try to get with you to see about helping me fine a job since I am being layed off in Feb.

I'm not sure exactly where you're located, if you're ever out this way I'd recommend William B Umstead near Raleigh or Raven Rock near Lillington/Sanford. Raven Rock is my personal favorite. There are so many beautiful places to hike here! I see you and your wife were assigned to Ellsworth ~ so you know the beauty of the Black Hills! (My original favorite place to hike!!!) :)

Comments: Great jig besides the fact that it has terrible angles. The penetration you get is awful. The hook to head design is awful. If you like losing fish, this is your jig. Football jig sucks. Will never use again & I do not recommend.
From: Skarfishing: Philadelphia, PA 9/5/16
Comments: Best jig I've used so far. Great hooks, unique colors & will cast a mile. caught a 6 pounder on the dirty 420. Definitely will stock up on these things!
From: Patrick: 8/3/16
Comments: I love these jigs for smallmouth up here in the north. The hook positioning creates great hook ups when dragging the jig over rock flats or humps. The smaller hook allows for small and compact trailers that smallmouth love.
From: Ted: WI 12/23/14
Comments: Great jig, had 5 hit in 30mins and caught 2. Caught a 2 and 3 pounder bad thug about the jig is,, the hook straighten out after the 2 fish... Will not trust this jig on a big fish in tournaments,,, best color was purple pond

More keyword data is obscured in analytical reports.
Trying to figure what persuades an online shopper to buy can seem like looking into a murky river and straining to see the pebbles and sand along the bed. Unfortunately for some retailers and their search marketers, the water is becoming more clouded.
The change involves Google and an ongoing push to enable consumers to partially hide their Internet search efforts. It's important to say what this is not: One of those revisions that Google regularly makes to the mathematical formulas that govern search results, and which can cause migraines among e-retailers who fear being lost at sea among the seemingly infinite search possibilities. No Panda here, no "Fresh," to name two recent updates to the Google search algorithm that many e-retailers know well, and which were designed to reward web sites that offer the newest and most relevant content.
Instead, this change is about providing consumers with, in Google's own words, "a more secure and private search experience." Google secure search encrypts inquiries for consumers signed into their Google accounts, meaning that search terms and results are generally hidden from anyone but that consumer and Google. In describing the program last fall, Evelyn Kao, a Google project manager, said it could protect consumers using, say, unsecured Wi-Fi inside cafes. More generally, Kao wrote, the steady move toward more personalized searches—that is, serving up results informed by a consumers' search history—also makes such protection more important.
The program has since expanded. For instance, searches conducted via Google Chrome and Firefox now default to secure search. And that's making life more difficult for those engaged in search engine optimization, says Adam Dorfman, partner at SIM Partners, a digital marketing services provider. That's because the encrypted searches are also obscured in the analytical reports that marketers and retailers rely upon to see which search keywords and phrase lead online shoppers to buy. "A larger percentage of keyword referrals are coming back as 'not provided'," he says. "It makes monitoring keywords much harder."
For instance, a shoe e-retailer might do some SEO around the keyword phrase "Nike running shoes." The e-retailer would want to know as much as possible about the performance of the phrase in order to do better SEO, such as whether to use the phrase in an infographic, or make it into a link that would draw the positive attention of Google's search engine crawlers. "It's harder to adjust optimization tactics," Dorfman says. He says that, based on his observations, up to 25% of site traffic to particular web sites could be coming via secured searches; for its part, Google has said that secured search should affect no more than 10% of searches.
None of this necessarily means a big muddy flood for retailers anxious about their SEO efforts. Dorfman says the larger ones likely will feel the most impact—but that they have the luxury of employing, either in-house or via agencies, sophisticated search marketing experts who will be able to detect patterns through the new murk. "For most mom-and-pops, they will probably be annoyed by this, but it won't affect major SEO decisions," he says. Still, with Google certainly hoping that more consumers will sign into Google accounts while on the Internet, secure search is something to keep in mind.

The Grain Exchange elicits all these responses and more, with its unparalleled beauty and historic decor. A three story, nearly 10,000 sq. ft. room, located in downtown Milwaukee's Mackie Building, showcases soaring ceilings, frescos, handsome granite, limestone, and sandstone and is described, architecturally, as "simple Italian." There is a 175 ft. bell tower in the center of the room, yet the focus of this outstanding facility is ultimately the shining performance of Bartolotta Catering and Events. Superseding the standards of this majestic room, we offer four-star, restaurant quality food with unprecedented service for private events.
As the exclusive caterer for this location, we strive to create a unique experience from beginning to the perfect end. Whether social or business, we have event coordinators on staff that will assist in facilitating each and every detail. The room radiates the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era, and our expertise in food and hospitality present a partnership that will create an event for even the most discriminating critic.
We are located in the Mackie Building at 225 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
