By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
Not too many years ago, getting on the Internet meant dialing into an Internet provider's system and disconnecting when it was no longer needed. The connection was awfully slow when compared to today's standards, and tied up the phone line while it was in use.
Today, although many people still use dial-up, more and more people are enjoying the speed and convenience of high-speed Internet access. Here are several common high-speed Internet technologies:
1) Cable - Internet via your cable TV provider
2) DSL - Internet via your phone company
3) Satellite - Internet via your satellite TV provider
Each technology has its benefits and disadvantages. None of these technologies are technically superior in every situation. Capacity (speed) and availability vary with each provider. However, all types share several common features:
1) 24x7 availability. You're connected to the Internet 'round the clock.
2) Increased bandwidth. Web pages are viewed and e-mail is downloaded in much faster time.
3) Less intrusive than traditional dial-up. The connection doesn't conflict or interfere with your phone line, cable or satellite service.
Unfortunately, these features also create some security concerns. Not only does it make the Internet more available to you, it also makes you more available to the Internet. In other words, it makes a breach of security (breaking into your computer) by a hacker much easier.
So what are some things that you can do to keep your computer safe?
1) Buy a DSL/Cable Router even if you only have one computer connected to the Internet. This device, often called a DSL Router, creates a special kind of firewall (often called a NAT or IP masquerade) between you and the Internet that helps keep people out of your computer. Although labeled as a DSL router, it works with all high speed Internet connections).
2) Install or enable firewall software on your PC, especially if you cannot afford a DSL router. Many can be purchased online or at retail stores.
Windows XP users that have Service Pack 2 installed can enable the built-in firewall (check your Windows Control Panel for a "Windows Firewall" icon).
3) Run Windows Update regularly and install all related security patches.
Many people have purchased wireless DSL routers which easily share an Internet connection with multiple PCs in addition to all the things normal DSL routers will do. These devices are highly convenient, but pose some major security issues.
By default, most DSL routers (a type of 'wifi' access point) advertise their presence to other wireless users in the area. If others in your neighborhood pick up the wireless signal, and your router isn't properly secured, these users will have access to your PCs and your Internet connection. In other words, you could be providing free Internet to your neighborhood without your knowledge.
There are several things that you can do to prevent such an intrusion (check your router's manual for specific procedures or instructions):
1) If you're not using the wireless, turn the wireless features off.
2) Change the default administrative password to your router (usually a password protected web page)
3) Enable MAC filtering & add your wireless PCs to its exception list. This way, if an illegitimate PC's MAC address (a unique hardware address given to the computer by the manufacturer) isn't on the router's OK list, they are denied access.
4) Turn off wireless advertising (often called "SSID broadcasting")
5) Rename your wireless access point ("SSID name")
6) Set up mandatory WEP or similar encryption
Taking Internet security is very important, especially with today's high-speed connection technologies. With some security precautions in place, you are bound to have a safer and more enjoyable Internet experience.

Summary: Inspection cameras are becoming more accessible and affordable for pros and DIYers alike. Learn what these cameras can be used for and what they can do.
MIKE: ... and you get a little bit nicer camera. It's awkward sometimes to find that screen.
BARNABY: Hey, what's happening? Barnaby here, along with my compadre Mike Johnson, talking about the Inspection Tools, a relatively new development in the world of tools, right, Mike?
MIKE: Yeah, I think so. The technology is catching up, and the prices drop, and it's allowing them to come out and be accessible to people like me.
BARNABY: Better late than never. They're so great, because I plan on using one of these this weekend. Really, one of these, because they're right here for me to take. It's going to be at my house because my buddy came over to help me tear out the floor in the bathroom and, while I was on break, he decided to clean up some of the wiring. Thereby, now my porch light doesn't work, my foyer light doesn't work, and my wife's like ...
MIKE: The porch light comes on when you turn the water on?
BARNABY: No, but now I got to snake down the wall and find out where the wires are that I need to rectify, so this will be great for that.
MIKE: Absolutely. If you want to see what's back in the wall, you can drill a little hole now instead of having to guess or tear the whole wall apart.
BARNABY: For a leaky pipe, it would be great to find that.
MIKE: If you're looking for a specific wire that's running down the wall, maybe you've got a video feed or a network cable that's giving you fits, you can find it with one of these things.
BARNABY: You hear a little rustling in the wall. What is it in there? Is it the kitty cat or the chipmunk?
MIKE: In automotive, they'd like it, too.
BARNABY: You can do it with this sort of thing. Let's start with the lower price, working our way up to the more sophisticated tools. This one, it's got a power button, brightness of light and a couple of tools.
MIKE: You've got tools that clip on the end here on the camera. You've got a cable, you've got a camera head, and you've got a magnetic tool that will pick up your nut that dropped down in your engine bay …
BARNABY: That'll be the little grabber right there?
MIKE: ... and you've got the mirror there. The smaller, shorter camera heads here will bend in a more tight radius than a longer one will. It allows you to get into smaller places, but even that's got limitations. When that limits out, you can't get around a corner. It won't bend tight enough. Throw that mirror on there, and now you can see around the corner.
BARNABY: Bosch says this is currently the smallest head in the industry, so for that, you can get around the tightest corner. It also has a video out.
MIKE: Yeah, it does, so if you wanted to throw that video on a larger screen, or you wanted to record it, I guess, you can run it to a video recording unit.
BARNABY: This runs off of the Bosch Power Platform, which, in this case is 12 volts. Onto the world of Rigid. Got to wake this guy up right here, because they have a sleep mode sometimes.
MIKE: It's going up in price. You're getting a nicer screen and you're getting a little bit nicer camera, I think. You've got four LEDs on this one, so you're getting a little more balanced lighting in the camera.
BARNABY: With the monocular light, there's a little bit of shadow. This has the ability, too, to put electronics out. You can put it back into your computer or TV.
MIKE: You've got the same kind of attachments on this one. This one is not running on rechargeable batteries, although, if you've got the rechargeable AA's , you could be considered rechargeable, I guess. This is running on the AA's.
BARNABY: Check this out. I'm actually rotating the room. It's like I've got a case of the slow spins.
MIKE: When your one-meter cable is back in the wall, and you're sick of spinning this thing to try to make it make sense to you, you can just hit the Rotate button, it will spin the camera image around on it.
BARNABY: It, too, comes with a couple of the retrieving and sight-bending tools as well.
MIKE: You got it.
BARNABY: The Milwaukee, we enter into a whole different level of features.
MIKE: The multi-media Milwaukee. This is the most expensive of these four right now, unless you consider the General fully dressed with all of the options, but just camera for camera, this one's on top. This one's just slightly under, and then it goes less expensive.
When you get up into this league here, you've got on-board storage. You've got zoomability. We were talking to a guy earlier, and he says that he had one of these things up in his ceiling. He was trying to run some wires. He got to the end of his rope, end of the cable there. He needed to see just a little bit further, and they make extensions for these cables. He didn't have one, but he was able to get the job done by zooming in and seeing what he needed to see in the distance.
BARNABY: This will come in handy, too, if you're going to doing that, you're going to need all of the light possible. Keep hitting the plus and the light will get brighter and brighter.
MIKE: You can record video and pictures on this.
BARNABY: Check this out. It's got a little SD card right here, so I guess the word is, it's 12,000 pictures and 90 minutes of video. Think of all the fun you could have with that. It's waterproof, which all these heads would be.
MIKE: Ice fishing?
BARNABY: Sure, why not? Then the General, this one has a wireless capability to it?
MIKE: Once we get up into the General, for one thing, you're looking at a smaller diameter cable on this one. They make different sized cables for all these things. This one happens to be the smallest diameter. The nicer thing about the smaller diameter cable is that it can get into smaller spots …
BARNABY: Smaller hole to patch in the wall.
MIKE: ... so that's nice. There may be some trade-off in camera, but that's just what those look like.
Anyway, wireless-wise, what they've done is they said in some cases, when you've got this thing finagled around to get the camera down where you want it, it's awkward sometimes to find that screen. What they've done is they've made the screen removable. Now, you can … isn't that neat … you can pop the screen off, you can have this wherever it's convenient for you to look at. It's got magnets, so you can stick it up, if you're working with duct work or whatever, it helps you to hold it someplace.
The wireless capability doesn't stop there. If they're sending a signal wirelessly to a camera, they thought, "We're already doing the wireless thing. What else can we do with it?" They sent up this kit right here, where you can get a little software, put it on your laptop or your computer, you can pick this guy up and plug that into your USB, and what it will do is send the video signal onto your computer. Through your computer, and maybe the magic of Skype or something like that, you can send that thing right off to whoever you want.
Say, for instance, you're trouble-shooting a big machine, and you're not sure exactly what the problem is or how to identify the problem, and you want some expert eyes on it, in real time, while you're looking at it, you can send this video to someone that could be talking to you, telling you, "Wait, wait, back up. That's where your problem is," and they can see it right then.
BARNABY: "Run! She's going to blow!"
MIKE: "Cut the red wire!"
BARNABY: Now, this is going to be an additional buy?
MIKE: Yep, that's about $100 now, extra.
BARNABY: As far as charging it goes, this one is ...
MIKE: This one doesn't have removable batteries, but you can plug both, obviously, the camera and the screen are going to be running on their own battery supplies, but you can plug them both in at the same time and charge them both at the same time, and it's got onboard storage.
BARNABY: You can also upload it to the 2 gig disk right there if you don't want to be sending it off wirelessly.
You were smart to check into Toolselect.com, because you were inquisitive about the inspection cameras. For that, you're in the right place. Toolselect.com. Tell all your friends!

Great bag - love the colour!
"This bag is a great accessory for work! I ordered the "camel" colour, which appears more orange than brown. It was shown this way on the website - maybe not the best name choice the manufacturer could have made, as this could be misleading. The bag is comfortable to wear over the shoulder and provides a great "pop" of colour to brighten up my winter wardrobe.I'm especially pleased to get a duster bag to protect it!"

I had to tell somebody, and I thought, who better to tell than all my Christmas buddies!! Where I am from, we are getting some possible flurries today....so excited!! I love the snow!! And, this just makes the Holiday season seem even closer!!!
nholls4 - do you live near me? Greater NYC area? We had light snow flurries overnight. Some more snow expected on Saturday!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
no actually I live in southwestern ontario (Canada)....but that is so interesting that it starting to snow in so many diferent places!! It makes me so much more excited for Christmas! I love the snow! Actually, ever since I was a child, whenever I think of NYC and winter I think Christmas...especially with that huge Christmas tree, and the skating, and the Thanksgiving day parade!! I hope I can see it all one day!!!
nholl you're exactly like me!
We're both in SW Ontario (I'm in Oakville), and LOVE NYC at Christmas. I always thought of NYC as the most Christmassy City (outside of the North Pole of course) and finally got to go last year for the first time - I don't know if I've shared this with you before but here are my Photos from the Trip.
I'm going again this year, and going to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes, I AM SO EXCITED!!!

SO JEALOUS!!!!!!! And, no I have not seen those photos!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! I am reppin' London...but my hometown is Sarnia!! I hope you have a super time!!! I have been to New York only once, and it was in the summer...SO HOT!! But I REALLY hope I can go back and be there when it is all Christmasy!!
When it snows you guys have to take and post pics. I am in Texas and dont get much. But unfortunately the last time it did here my house burned. :(
Count your blessings...My daughter and grandson are mine
Well it is supposed to snow here tomorrow - a big, unusual storm for October. I will try to remember to take pictures!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Did it end up snowing??? And I will also try and take some scenic pictures of the snow we get!!
I think it'll be very, very snowy all over the world this year. There's been early snow forecast in the UK this year as well I love the snow and am jealous of countries like Canada that see very deep snow - although when we get more than an inch here in the UK everything shuts down and people panic, we don't have enough grit to make the roads safe, we're always unprepared and everybody runs to the shops and buys too much of EVERYTHING in case they get snowed in and then everybody who wasn't panicking goes nuts and buy loads, too in case essentials sell out and we can't ship more in! LOL I'd love to be in a country that prepares for snow and gets loads and sees it as NORMAL and not soemthing to lose their heads over... haha
Oops that turned into a bit of a rant Anyway, congrats on the snow and please do share photos when it really starts going I'd love to see
Haha!! That's ok!! I am so excited for sledding, making snowmen, and just taking long winter walks!!!! I also love coming back inside, and having a hot drink!!YUMMY!! What does everyone else like doing in the snow?? Has anyone ever tried making ice cream?? I read a book once where the children did that, and I have always wanted to try it!!

Give Spiller The Ball, Please!!!
by Howard Simon
posted Nov 8 2012 12:00AM
During a recent segment on WGR, Bills General Manager Buddy Nix was asked by a caller if he would fire Head Coach Chan Gailey should the Bills fail to make the playoffs.
Nix essentially said no when he explained the Bills usually fire their coach every three years to energize the fan base and constantly starting over isn't a good idea.
Two days after that comment, Gailey may have sealed his fate as far as most of Bills Nation is concerned with some very questionable play calling in a 21-9 loss to the Houston Texans.
Now there is some truth in Nix's answer. The Bills have been searching for the right coach since Marv Levy retired following the 1997 season.
They've gone through Wade Phillips(3 years), Gregg Williams(3 years), Mike Mularkey(2 years), and Dick Jauron(fired in his 4
year). Gailey is 13-27 midway through his third season on the job.
While continually changing your head coach isn't necessarily the right way to do business, you shouldn't keep someone in the job if he isn't getting it done and as each week passes, Gailey seems to be providing more reasons to put up a "Help Wanted" sign after the season.
For many Bills fans, the tipping point may have come last Sunday in Houston when Gailey basically did the same thing Wade Phillips(Texans Defensive Coordinator) was trying to do: take C.J. Spiller out of the game.
The most dynamic offensive weapon the Bills have, recorded a mere 6 carries out of the 57 offensive snaps. But Gailey followed through on his plan of "sharing the load" as Fred Jackson managed just 6 carries too.
The last time a Bills running back had a carry came with 8:23 left in the third quarter in a 14-9 ballgame. In the second half, the Bills had 24 pass plays and 3 runs.
By looking at those numbers you might think the Bills were down by 20 points or so at halftime but the score was 7-6 Houston. It was 14-6 Texans with 12 minutes left in the third quarter. The Bills made it 14-9 with just under 8 minutes left in the third and Houston pushed it to 21-9 with 11:25 remaining in the fourth. Not exactly an "abandon the run" game in my opinion.
The lack of runs may have been enough to draw the wrath of Bills fans but Gailey made it worse with his explanation that Houston showed a look designed to prevent them from running so the Bills did exactly that.
"We went into the ball game assuming they would play the defense they'd been playing the previous seven ball games but they went in and changed and loaded up the box and wouldn't allow us to run the football" Gailey said during his Monday show on WGR. " I mean we could have run the football but it would have been one yard, minus one yard, one yard, beating our head against the wall so what we tried to do was throw the football to get them out of loading up the box and they never did."
For the record, Spiller's 6 rushes went for 3,0,3,5,6 and 22 yards.
Gailey was asked if he could have used different personnel groupings to counter the Texans defensive approach. "You can change that" Gailey told WGR "but what happens is you've worked on one game plan, a certain number of plays and a certain way to block it during the course of the week then you get to the ball game and they've got something totally different out there and you don't have all the weapons at your disposal to go make those adjustments on the fly. Then we got behind and it was a throw game.
As far as it being a throw game, remember the Bills largest deficit was twelve points and there was still 11:25 left in the fourth quarter when Houston went up 21-9. The Bills ended up with three more possessions and certainly could have sprinkled in some runs.
The lack of involvement for Spiller is mind boggling and ironic when you consider he was the first draft pick for the Nix/Gailey regime and one they took considerable heat for, yet Spiller has turned into an electric player and one the Bills should lean on. Even more so when you take into account the struggles of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The Bills go into the matchup in New England ranked 6
in the NFL in rushing yards a game and 2
in yards per carry. It is clearly the strength of the offense and the best part of the entire team.
Spiller has just 78 carries which is an average of just over 9 a game. Even if you take out his injury shortened game in Cleveland when Spiller had just 4 carries before getting hurt, his carries per game average is still just 10. His season high for carries in a game is 15 against Kansas City.
His total of 78 for the season is the lowest number among the top 26 backs in rushing yards. The next closest player in terms of carries is Frank Gore who has 41 more rushes than Spiller.
There are 14 backs ahead of Spiller in rush yards and the average number of carries for that group is 151, which is nearly twice as many as Spiller.
Since week 13 of the 2011 season, Spiller leads the league in yards per carry with 6.6. The 4 players right behind him are Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, Doug Martin and Reggie Bush. All 4 have more carries than Spiller. Rice has 98 more, Bush has 60, Peterson has 45 and Martin has 9. Keep in mind Martin wasn't even in the league last season.
There have been way too many head scratching moments from the post Marv Levy Bills head coaches like Phillips saying they viewed punt returner Chris Watson as more of a "punt catcher."
How about Gregg Williams with 4
and stupid, punting from the New England 32 on 4
and 2 on the opening drive of the 3
quarter with the Bills trailing 17-7. This despite the fact the Bills offense was among the best in the NFL at the time.
Then there's Mike Mularkey who channeled his inner Hank Bullough after a loss to Denver where a number of plays went against the Bills on the Broncos first touchdown drive. Mularkey explained "I think those type of plays take the sails out of your winds a little bit".
Dick Jauron was…well…Dick Jauron. Too many head scratching moments to pick from.
Gailey felt trying to run the ball against the Texans would have been like "beating our heads against the wall". If he doesn't go with a heavy diet of Spiller and the ground game the rest of the season, I'll be beating my head against the wall every game.

MT. PLEASANT: Charles Rowe Olsen 66 passed away peacefully on Aug. 31, 2009 at his home, after a long valiant fight with cancer. Born Jan. 25, 1943 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah to Rowe and Josephine Menzies Olsen. Charles served his country during the Vietnam War in the U.S. Navy and was stationed at Miramar Naval Air Station.

text: Throughout the summer, we will be highlighting new local fiction from Western New England authors — for those lazy days on the beach, or just to take a break from all that weeding. In our first interview of the series, best-selling writer Elinor Lipman talks with NEPR's Karen Brown. Lipman — who divides her time between Northampton, Massachusetts and New York — has just published her tenth comic novel, "The View from Penthouse B." Lipman begins by reading a section where her main character Gwen-Laura — who, like Lipman, is a recent widow — decides to start an online dating business.

It is thursday 8:20 EST did I miss the opening? I don't see the thread about it...someone plsease let me know...Thank you!!!
You didn't miss anything. The Opening Ceremony will be tomorrow night at 7:30pm ET on NBC.
thanks blue-i know it won't be like Beging but I love London and will be happy with any effort. I wonder if we will see Jane and Chris in the crowd?
I believe Chris already ran with the torch but that they have been involved with the games for a while...
Kinda glad London won't look like Beijing's... it sounds like it's going to be fantastic.
Toni, the director of the O ceremonies said we have "peaked with Bejing's OTT big wingding---it was wild...so I think they will go for something far less grand in size. He is the director of Slum Dog Millionaire-don't recall his name. I just saw that pic, most of it a few days ago. India makes me cry. It was amazing. I find it hard to watch, and was happy when the van found the kids only to plan exploitation. I never knew about the eye thing, did not get all the subtitles on the screen. I pray that is fiction and not currently allowed as India becomes a modern wealthy country. I recall it won best picture. It certainly was unique when so much Hollywood stuff is re-takes or copycat safe films. At least a happy ending for two.
I don't recall India ever holding a summer Olympics but it might not be far off. I know lots who have gone-they say they were thrilled to go, but would not go back. The colors are intoxicicating in that movie.
yes I saw his interview on the Today Show. I have my own opinions on the opening ceremonies from Bejing, which I won't go into here out of respect for others, it was an impressive feat... however I think I will enjoy London's more if rumors and hype turn out to be true...
Yeah, I liked Vancouver's opening ceremonies, and they were deliberately small-scale and not trying to compete with Beijing. They still provided some wonderfully memorable moments, such as that beautiful "flying boy" in the aerial harness, to the tune of Joni Mitchell's "Clouds," and the singing and speaking voices of so many well-known Canadians like Donald Sutherland and Michael J. Fox. The human scale of it gave the feeling of friendly intimacy.
It'll be interesting to see whether the Brits do anything to reflect their history and culture. I mean, I don't expect a procession of dukes and lords and such. Gee, if they decide to show medieval knights, they could use armor dating from the era! I do hear that Paul McCartney will take part, so I assume there will be other pop music giants. If there are, I hope Tom Jones sings. His voice just knocked me over when he sang at the Queen's Jubilee concert. He's 71 years old, and his voice is still a powerhouse. And he would represent Wales with distinction!
Maybe some of our favorite British actors might recite something...that would be a treat to hear Ian McKellen or Maggie Smith.

I'm watching the opening ceremony right now. It is SO BORING! Kinda disappointed.
I am here too Diane. So far, the video intro was nice. Meredith Viera and matt lauer are doing commentary. Danny Boyle of "Slum Dog Millionaire" is the director. My mum was so tired, she went home. So I am trying to pad my chair with pillows. Now they are interviewinh Gabby and jordan! Oh I loved 1996 Atlanta! I hope these girls go well. Why 5 not seven? Anyone know? I have been asking....
I agree that it was silly. Gymnastics is tough enough! Let's not make it so these poor kids expire right there in the arena. I think seven, with a few specialists, is ideal.
I guessed right about the torch! Steven Redgrave, the 5-gold-medal-winning rower (in five consecutive Olympics!), is carrying the torch into the arena. Then the final ones who light it are young athletes, a bunch of them, who signify the next generation. I remember they did that in the Montreal Olympics, with two young athletes. But some previous heroes will be standing at the end of the torch relay as well, including Daley Thompson (decathlon) and Mary Peters (women's pentathlon).
I think I just saw Christopher Dean!
The opening ceremonies wasn't as visually stunning as others, but it did represent the UK's contributions to the world, excluding colonialism. After all, it wouldn't be prudent to point out how many current countries were once under British rule.
Visually, I enjoyed the molten rings forging into the Olympic rings and showering sparks.
The torch would've been more dramatic if the smaller flames had suddenly lit a much larger flame IMHO The concept was very nice though. Read today that the flame is not visible from outside of the stadium - so, no attendees will be able to view it unless they have tickets to Track and Field event that start next week.
I also appreciated the Queen's participation with James Bond. At the actual opening, she seemd 'tired'. Prince Phillip was smiling a great deal more. I thought it was funny - the NBC commentator was saying how the Queen was applauding enthusiastically, but when the camera cut to her, she was just sitting silent and stoic - so the camera cut away very quickly.
The opening did remind me how much Britain has contributed to pop music culture. Wht most of the viewing audience didn't realize was the athletes entered to a medley of various songs from British artists - discovered that while reading aYahoo recap. I wonder why Sir Paul selected Hey Jude.

In Philippians 2:15 the last part of the verse reads "ἐν οἷς φαίνεσθε ὡς φωστῆρες ἐν κόσμῳ" (en hois phainesthe hōs phōstēres en kosmōi) (NET: "in which you shine as lights in the world").
To what does the "οἷς" (the relative pronoun) refer?
I was expecting it to refer to "γενεᾶς" but the genders do not match.
Maybe I'm just being dumb (an option neither unfathomable nor without precedent).

read a couple of posts back and you'll know how it started...

I Love You!
I just got around to seeing the OP movie 10, and in it has shiki and his 20year plan that the manga hinted at, is this seriously all it was?
Is there any news on it not being related to the manga? that seemed unlikely to me since it said Oda's name on the start but idk
Although I do got all the movies I haven't watched them, has a movie ever been put out before it happened in the manga?
I mean like has there ever been a time a movie came out about a arc then the arc happened in the manga (ofcourse with little differences, but you get the question)
Well movie 10 was the only one produced with Oda so it's the only one considered Cannon(ish) it's yet to be seen if Shiki will have any effect at all on the story. Besides Kong and Shiki being mentioned there hasn't been anything else related to the movies in the manga
Last edited by Uzumaki_Tim; 10-21-2010 at 10:52 AM.
the we were given a chapter on back story. both shiki and kong are real in the main story line. plus any one else think the tree sounds like we have seen it b4?
weather the movie adventure is ever mentioned in the mane story line or not is up to oda and how he wants to do it if he wants to mess with it because its not that important. the characters how ever could be important at some point
who is your favorite side character? e.g. appis, chimney etc
mine is chimney and gombey i just love the way they talk

My favorite is X Drake, his story has to be good. he was a Rear-Admiral which is high up, now why would he become a pirate? who knows, but that aside, he looks cool and uses sword/axe combo is pretty awesome.

Munster have a huge task on their hands as they face tournament favourites Clermont in Saturday's Heineken Cup semi-final in France.
Munster have a huge task on their hands as they face tournament favourites Clermont in Saturday's Heineken Cup semi-final at Stade de la Mosson in Montpellier.
It's been a season of contrasting fortunes for the Irish giants. Unable to qualify for the Pro12 play-offs, the Heineken Cup now represents their chance to salvage a season marked by inconsistency.
The move to a new, more expansive style in Rob Penney's first season as head coach has been a bumpy ride and on more than one occasion it's been the old-school physical Munster approach that has come to the Red Army's rescue – best illustrated by Paul O'Connell barnstorming return to European action in the quarter-final win over Harlequins.
Indeed, the Munster skipper has been the centre of attention in the build up to the clash on the Mediterranean coast as "l'affaire O'Connell" has dominated column inches and public debates both in Ireland and France.
The fact that POC will be playing this weekend – despite leaving Dave Kearney with an almighty headache – is massively significant. Munster were a transformed side as he led the charge against Quins and many would suggest the two-time champs wouldn't stand much of a chance against the rampant Jaunards without him.
The significance certainly hasn't been lost on the Clermont staff, and manager Jean-Marc Lhermet felt in necessary to stick a finger in an old French wound when mentioning the saga as he commented on the ERC's decision to deny their request to get fly-half Michael Delany registered. It's not the first time a French side have felt they've been given a raw deal by the organisation based in Dublin…and probably not the last.
While Munster's most iconic player will take the field, his equivalent in Clermont – Aurelien Rougerie – will not. A thigh injury has robbed Clermont of their skipper and one of the most dangerous 13s in Europe. The loss of openside flank Gerhard Vosloo, who was phenomenal in the quarter-final thrashing on Montpellier, is almost as big a blow for the Top 14 leaders.
But Clermont – the only semi-finalists to maintain a 100 percent record this season – will nevertheless start as heavy favourites.
Munster are appearing in a record-equalling tenth Heineken Cup semi-final while Clermont's loss to Leinster in Bordeaux last year was their only previous appearance in the last four, but the French team's form in recent week's – which includes a draw away to Toulon and a big win over Toulouse – can't be overlooked.
Clermont also boast the competition's leading points and try scorers in Morgan Parra (97 points) and Napolioni Nalaga (six tries) – not to mention Wesley Fofana, joint second top try scorer on five.
O'Connell and Penney have both insisted that their team will thrive on the underdog tag in the same way they did at the Stoop, so don't expect one-way traffic. Munster have missed fewer tackles per match (7.3) than any other side in this year's competition and they will once again look to shut down Clermont's free-running backs.
Munster have faced French opposition on 50 occasions in this tournament, more often than any other nation. They have won 34 of those matches.
Munster have made just one change to the starting line-up that ran out in the quarter-final win over Harlequins. A fit again Keith Earls comes onto the right wing in place of Denis Hurley, who is named on the bench. It's Earls first outing for Munster since the Racing Metro game in January and his first competitive match since the Test against Italy five weeks ago.
There are two changes to that bench with John Ryan in for the injured Stephen Archer (wrist) while Donncha O'Callaghan's knee injury sustained against Leinster rules him out, his place going to Billy Holland.
Meanwhile, there are three changes to the Clermont side that ran four tries past Toulouse last week. Brock James returns at fly-half to start his first game in over a month in the place of ineligible Delany.
One-cap All Black Regan King takes over from Rougerie while Julien Bardy comes off the bench to fill in for Vosloo. Replacement fly-half David Skrela is still doubtful and has been bracketed on the bench with Fijian flyer Noa Nakaitaci.
Players to watch:
For Clermont: Former All Black speedster Sitiveni Sivivatu is as dangerous as he has ever been, as illustrated by his two tries against Toulouse last week. His counter-attacking skills fit in perfectly with Clermont's philosophy of striking from deep. Give him space at your peril.
For Munster: If Munster want to outmuscle Clermont the way they bullied Quins, Peter O'Mahony needs to produce another strongman performance. If the Irishmen can disrupt the Clermont line-out and slow down their ball, they have a real chance at playing in the final in Dublin.
Head-to-head: The battle of the second rows has been given plenty of ink in the build up. Paul O'Connell's influence has been mentioned above. Another veteran, Nathan Hines, who who has featured in 14 out of a possible 15 tournament matches for Clermont, is no stranger to the Irishmen after his time at Leinster. Jamie Cudmore's panache for the rough stuff is well documented and Donnacha Ryan won't shy away from tussle either. It could get brutal.
Prediction: These sides have met on four previous occasions in this competition, with each side securing two wins and all four of these wins coming as home victories. "Home country" advantage will definitely play into the Clermont's hands with a massive contingent of Ultras Vulcans set to make a lot of noise. Clermont by ten points.
The teams:
Clermont: 15 Lee Byrne, 14 Sitiveni Sivivatu, 13 Regan King, 12 Wesley Fofana, 11 Naipolioni Nalaga, 10 Brock James, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Damien Chouly, 7 Julien Bardy, 6 Julien Bonnaire, 5 Nathan Hines, 4 Jamie Cudmore, 3 Davit Zirakashvili, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo.
Replacements: 16 Ti'i Paulo, 17 Vincent Debaty, 18 Clement Ric, 19 Julien Pierre, 20 Alexandre Lapandry, 21 Ludovic Radosavljevic, 22 Jean Marcel Buttin, 23 Noa Nakaitaci or David Skrela.
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 , 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Conor Murray, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Peter O'Mahony, 5 Paul O'Connell (c), 4 Donnacha Ryan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 David Kilcoyne.
Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 Wian du Preez, 18 John Ryan, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Paddy Butler, 21 Cathal Sheridan, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Denis Hurley.

The lack of good educational options for poor, urban and minority children across our country, including here in the city of Rochester, has been well-publicized. So has Rochester's status as one of the nation's most impoverished cities.
High-quality educational opportunity is the only way out of this recurring cycle of generational poverty. We can't fix poverty, we can't fix urban decay, we can't fix crime, we can't mend race relations and we can't solve the structural budgetary imbalances facing our city until we fix urban education. Income inequality, which has received so much recent attention, is rooted in educational inequality. Charter schools certainly aren't a magic bullet for solving these problems, but they do represent a significant piece of the puzzle.
In last week's RBJ, James Bertolone wrote in his Labor column ("Charter school movement is an attack on public education," RBJ, 3/28/14) that charter schools are "undermining public education so that private corporations can grab tens of billions of federal, state and local tax dollars." The truth is charter schools are public schools! They just aren't district-run schools. And the vast majority of charters, including every school operating here in Rochester, are not-for-profit entities.
Across New York, charters are working. With enrollment heavily skewed toward poor, urban, minority students who are admitted via lottery, last year as in most years, four out of five New York charter schools outperformed the district schools in the school districts where they were located. And they achieved those results with one-third fewer taxpayer dollars than their district counterparts. Charters receive zero taxpayer funding for facilities, which means that these public schools must go hat-in-hand to the donor community to raise the funds necessary to put a roof over their students' heads. The inference that the charter school movement is all about corporate greed is laughable.
Here's why I'm a charter school fan. I simply don't like monopolies. I think parents, not the government, should be the ones who decide where their children go to school. Think about it. What if the government were to assign students to colleges strictly by street address? So the boy who lives four blocks down is assigned to Harvard. Your niece across town is assigned to Princeton. And your kid? She'll be headed to Podunk U in the fall simply because of your street address.
Sound absurd? Well, that's today's K-12 system. But if such a system wouldn't be acceptable for college, then why should it be acceptable for the K-12 education that prepares a child for college? Charter schools provide families with a vehicle for breaking this monopoly. They empower parents with options aside from the monopoly school district.
Children learn differently. Some require a rigid, high-discipline learning environment; others thrive in an experiential learning setting. Some kids prosper in single-sex schools; others need the social interaction of mixed-gender classrooms. Some children might gravitate toward an arts-focused curriculum, others toward one focusing on science, technology, engineering and math. That's the beauty of school choice, be it via charters or vouchers: Different schools are free to offer different learning environments, and each family is free to choose the school whose educational approach best suits the individual child's needs.
Charters are "schools of choice." Since students aren't automatically assigned to them, charters have to compete to attract students. That's a powerful dynamic, with parents empowered to select the school best suited to their individual child's needs. Mr. Bertolone wrote that charter schools "usually have high suspension rates, high expulsion rates, high attrition rates and do not replace the kids they get rid of." But remember, charter schools are funded on a per-pupil basis. They have a powerful monetary incentive to keep their classrooms full. Expelling a child or failing to replace voluntary departures entails significant negative revenue consequences.
Conversely, charters' being "schools of choice" means parents are free to exit any charter school they believe fails to meet their child's educational needs or where the school culture isn't a good match. That parental freedom can and does create turnover.
Because charters are issued in five-year increments, charter schools must deliver superior educational outcomes to have their charters renewed for a subsequent five-year term. Those that fail to perform are closed, and that's as it should be. A failing school should be forced to close.
Happily, the vast majority of New York's charters are doing an outstanding job of educating urban youths. Competition truly is a wonderful thing!

I'd like to add, in reaction to Mr. James Bertolone's column deriding charter schools, some anecdotal and personal information that has shaped my thinking about Unions for the last 40 years.
When I finished Graduate School, I became a Guidance Counselor at Wilmington Public Schools in Delaware. Because it was a Union shop, I was forced to become a card carrying dues paying member of the AFL/CIO. I can tell you from personal experience that many of those Teacher's Union members were criminal thugs and racketeers. My fellow Guidance Counselor who shared my office did nothing, nothing all day but read newspapers, and at night would go out as a leg breaker, literally beating up people who owed money to the Union president and our shop steward, who drove a Cadillac Biarritz as a 4th grade teacher, running a numbers racket.
Later in my career I negotiated labor contracts across the table from the Teamsters, IBEW, Iron Workers, et. and the UAW, who was the most professional, albeit very communist. In all, that Teachers' Union was a cauldron of extortion and corruption that eclipsed all others.
So, let the parents have choices about where they send their children to school, and none of those choices should be governed by Union bosses. < close

Lasers, Unicorns, and Lamborghinis — Oh My!
This brightly-colored video featuring incredible 80s graphics, unicorns, and Lamborghinis is an intense 30-second video tribute to the 1980s. And if you're anything like me, you will love it.
Want to know more about the video? Will Goodan explains:
As a kid growing up in a time where mutants reigned supreme in the city and lasers accompanied by wailing guitars were standard, I felt that a homage was required. What better way to show your love for such a thing than a polygonal unicorn emerging from the hood of a countach. I paid my dues.

Orangeville met for their February council meeting. While considering the city bills and warrants, Mayor Pat Jones had a concern about the large Rocky Mountain Power bill and this power bill could possibly be reduced by insulating the door of the city shop. Jeff Tuttle will discuss with the Orangeville City Fire Chief ways to reduce the power bill at the Fire Station. The power usage at the restrooms in the park was also a concern.
A public hearing was held about how to deal with door to door sales people. Because sales people are coming to Orangeville to take business away from businesses that have licenses and pay taxes in the city, it was felt that an ordinance requiring a background check, paying appropriate fees, have an identity badge, and a penalty for violators would be appropriate.
After the public hearing Ordinance 2011-1 the Solicitors License Application and Instructions was approved by the city council.
Bob Wilson appeared before the city council to explain his plan to subdivide his property located on the south side of Cemetery Road. His property runs from Milldam Road to the fence at the cemetery. This is a minor subdivision because it is less than five lots and the lot size is one acre. The zoning is rural which does not require a curb and gutter if waived by the city council. The council approved the subdivision with some exceptions. The curb and gutter would be waived. The water connections would be paid for by the new property owners. The road along the cemetery would be deeded to the city. The property survey must include lot markers. A performance bond is required and a 15 foot easement along the front of the subdivision for utilities will be provided by Bob Wilson. The City of Orangeville will obtain the easement for the sewer through Scott Ockey's property for the subdivision. The council voted to approve the subdivision.
The Howard and Dawnette Tuttle subdivision for three lots or less was discussed. The property is located at 100 South and 200 East. Doug Johnson wants to build a house on this property. He has a title report, letters from the utilities and planning and zoning is recommending the approval by the city council after a completed survey and corners are established, also Howard Tuttle owns half of the road.
The city council approved the Howard and Dawnette Tuttle Subdivision application contingent upon a completed survey, a plat map, lot markers and deeding the road right of way from the north property line and back five feet from the existing curb to the city.
Castle Valley Special Service District projects for Orangeville in the year of 2011. Jeffery Tuttle reported, to the City Council that the Special Service District's contractor will install the sewer for the Wilson Subdivision.
The Cherry View Road property owners according to Tuttle will deed 60 feet for the road to the city. He reported the Special Service District is against this. They do not want to be seen as helping a developer build a subdivision.
Jeff Tuttle explained there are two homes in the city limits that pay city and special service district taxes that do not have a city street. This problem has been discussed for several years and needs to be corrected. The work at the Milldam Road ball field is not yet complete and they need a water line installed there. The city sidewalk project will cover three blocks, from 100 West between 200 South and 300 South. Both sides of the 300 South Street between 100 West and 200 West. There will be a need to move a power pole at the Southwest corner of 100 West and 300 South. The moving of the power pole by Rocky Mountain Power was approved.
A site showing of the above projects will be held on March 3, with a bid opening March 10. The council voted to approve the above projects. Maureen Law and Brandon Hoffman were reappointed to the planning and zoning commission. Courtney Cox said more than 200 people in Orangeville have not licensed their dogs and reminders have been sent out. He also asked the city council to decide in the next meeting to set a date for spring clean up.
Jeffery Tuttle reported on several meetings he had attended, such as the special service district meeting for the Mayor, the Adobe Wash Reservoir meeting with the BLM and the Cottonwood Irrigation Company meeting. He said the DWR wants to put fish in the Adobe Wash Reservoir when it is completed and the Cottonwood Creek Irrigation Company is working toward finishing the Adobe Wash irrigation project.
Mayor Jones reported Orangeville City residents used 77 million gallons of culinary water in 2010 and in 2009 they used 116 million gallons. The next Orangeville City meeting will be on March 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the city hall building.

Bill York, Farm Loan Chief, for USDA's Farm Service Agency in Utah announced that women and minority farmers interested in buying and operating family-sized farms may be eligible for loans from FSA.
"The Farm Service Agency is interested in promoting greater involvement in farming and ranching by women and minorities," said York. "Each year, we reserve a portion of our farm loan funds especially for socially disadvantaged applicants."
The loans available to women and minorities are the same as those for other borrowers, as are the eligibility requirements.
Applicants must be primarily and directly engaged in farming and ranching on family-size operations.
In addition to being members of a socially disadvantaged group, applicants under this program must meet all requirements for FSA's regular farm loan program assistance, including: Have a satisfactory history of meeting credit obligations; Have sufficient education, experience and/or training that indicates the managerial ability to assure reasonable prospects of success; Be a citizen of the United States (or a legal resident alien), including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and certain former Pacific Island Trust Territories; Be unable to obtain credit elsewhere at reasonable rates and terms to meet actual needs; and possess legal capacity to incur loan obligations.
A socially disadvantaged applicant is one of a group whose members have been subjected to racial, ethnic or gender prejudice because of his or her identity as members of the group without regard to his or her individual qualities. For purposes of this program, socially disadvantaged groups are women, African Americans, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Hispanics, and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Contact the local FSA county office or USDA Service Center for detailed information about the Socially Disadvantaged Applicant loan program.

Visa USA, Commerce Bank, U.S. Representative Edolphus Towns and NFL Stars Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants and Patrick Ramsey of the New York Jets Teach Brooklyn Students How to Tackle Their Financial Futures
Interactive Financial Football Game and Program Helps Thomas Jefferson High School Students Cross Real-Life Money Goal Line
Brooklyn, NY September 19, 2006 Going on offense to advance financial literacy, today, Visa USA, Commerce Bank, the NFL, PLAYERS INC and Representative Edolphus Towns (D-10-NY) have teamed up with NFL stars Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants and Patrick Ramsey of the New York Jets to engage Brooklyn students in a different kind of football game - one that prepares them to become fiscally fit adults. Called Financial Football, this animated, money management computer game is the centerpiece of a 17-city Visa/NFL initiative to promote youth financial literacy around the country.
Learning the fundamentals of money management at an early age gives young people a real advantage in meeting their own financial goals, said Osi Umenyiora to a room full of students and teachers at Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn. Managing money and finances is a vital life skill, and one that that is best taught, and learned, before high school graduation.
It takes the combined efforts of parents, teachers, and mentors within the community to give young adults a strong background in personal financial management, said veteran quarterback, Patrick Ramsey. Last season, I joined Visa in bringing this message to students in the Washington, D.C. area. Now, I have the chance to coach another game of Financial Football here in New York and to tell these students how imperative it will be for them to learn how to make good, smart, informed money decisions, as they plan for college and beyond.
Huddled in the Thomas Jefferson High School Library, Umenyiora coached the Giants team comprised of half the students, while Ramsey headed up the Jets team. Together, the two engaged students in Financial Football. The content, developed with the cooperation of the NFL and its players, incorporates lessons taught through Practical Money Skills for Life, Visas free, award-winning money management program.
Financial Football combines the structure and rules of the NFL with financial education questions of varying difficulty. To score points, a team needs to answer questions correctly. And, just like in the NFL, penalties can cost a team yardage. The team with the highest point total after four quarters wins the game.
"It is so critical for young people to learn smart money management skills because it is one of the basic building blocks for success in today's competitive and changing world," said U.S. Representative Edolphus Towns (D-10-NY), who also co-sponsored and attended todays event. "I am pleased that students here at Thomas Jefferson will be able to use the valuable resources included in the Practical Money Skills for Life Program," added Towns.
Todays event is the third stop of this educational campaign. Last year was the inaugural season for this national effort between Visa, the NFL and PLAYERS INC to get students engaged and excited about their financial futures. In addition to being a game, this year Financial Football is also a one week, five part financial literacy program designed for high school instruction.
Equipping our nations youth with a roadmap to financial freedom and success really needs to be a cooperative effort between schools, the community and government, said Michael Alexander, principal, Thomas Jefferson High School. By working together, we are preparing them to make wise financial decisions for a lifetime.
"Commerce Bank and Visa are committed to providing a variety of financial education programs that are designed to help people in the communities we serve develop sound money management skills for today and the future," said John Cunningham, Commerce Bank's Chief Marketing Officer. "Financial literacy is very important, and Visa's Financial Football game and Commerce Bank's CommerceWOW!Zone(r) are dynamic, interactive programs that provide fun, yet practical and comprehensive financial education for young people who will benefit from the information for years to come." The CommerceWOW!Zone is available online for free at www.commercewowzone.com.
Financial Football is part of Practical Money Skills for Life (www.PracticalMoneySkills.com), a comprehensive financial literacy program - available in English, Spanish and Chinese that teaches young adults personal finance skills.
Visa is proud of its long standing commitment to financial education and greatly appreciates the assistance we received today from Osi Umenyiora and Patrick Ramsey, said Rhonda Bentz, vice president, Visa USA. We take great pride in our NFL sponsorship, which is enabling us to work with so many talented players to give students the tools, resources and encouragement they need to become more financially literate.
This free, educational resource provides teachers with lesson plans (kindergarten-college) mapped to their state education requirements. For students, there are interactive games and calculators designed to teach responsibility and important concepts such as earning, saving and budgeting money.
