Hope College was among the nation's NCAA Division III leaders in average home attendance for home men's soccer and volleyball games played last fall. In reports just issued by the NCAA, ranked second among the more than 400-member Division III in both sports.
In volleyball, Hope trailed only rival Calvin in average attendance at 624 fans across 12 matches. Calvin, which won the Division III national title, averaged 803 fans over 16 dates thanks to increased attendance through several home tournament matches during their post-season run. Hope led Division III in attendance in 2009 and 2010. The Flying Dutch posted a 10-2 record at home en route to a 25-7 season mark.
For the second year in-a-row, Hope trailed only Messiah, Pa. in average attendance at men's soccer games. Messiah averaged 1,800 fans across nine home matches while Hope averaged 1,041 over 12 dates. They were the only Division III programs to average more than 1,000 fans per home game. The Flying Dutchmen had a 10-1-1 record at home and finished with an overall 17-5-4 record.

I ordered TFP Soundwave off of TRU.com and picked up TFP Wheeljack and Cliffjumper at TRU. I'm trying to tread more carefully with my spending on this line and not going to pick up every character/mold.
CJ's arms are so kibbley, I think I would have preferred the First Edition but that can't be helped at this point.
Anyone else tired of the stacks of HA Leadfoot and Roadbusters at their local Targets?

A throat swab culture is a laboratory test done to identify germs that may cause infection in the throat. It is most often used to diagnose strep throat.
Throat culture and sensitivity; Culture - throat
You will be asked to tilt your head back and open your mouth wide. The health care provider rubs a sterile cotton swab along the back of your throat near the tonsils. You need to resist gagging and closing the mouth while the swab touches this area.
The health care provider may need to scrape the back of the throat with the swab several times. This helps improve the chances of detecting bacteria.
Do not use antiseptic mouthwashes before the test.
Your throat may be sore at the time the test is taken. You may experience a gagging sensation when the back of your throat is touched with the swab, but the test only lasts a few seconds.
The test is performed when a throat infection is suspected, particularly strep throat. A throat culture can also help your health care provider determine which antibiotics will work best for you.
A normal or negative result means no bacteria or other germs that may cause a sore throat were found.
An abnormal or positive culture result means bacteria or other germs that can cause a sore throat were seen on the throat swab.
This test is safe and well-tolerated. In very few patients, the sensation of gagging may lead to an urge to vomit or cough.

It's a bit early in the baseball campaign to be writing about MVPs, though, that didn't stop some this spring from doing just that. Not too many endeavors as frivolous as pre-season prognostications on likely, after-season award winners. But it's a free country, fast becoming jobless, but free.
This piece isn't about predictions nor intended to depreciate award winners of the past.
It's about a bad standard many MVP voters are adopting before checking their ballots.
Today, more and more voters are making their choice by applying a team standard. Even when player-candidates have numbers that are easily differentiated, the player on the better team will take the trophy, regardless. A 'better' team can simply mean more victories but is more likely to be playoff-bound. No ifs, ands or bunts about it. It's all very tidy and misguided.
I'd been hearing about this rigid rule in recent years but never paid it much mind. That was until last month when I was leafing through my backlog of periodicals and happened upon a compilation of final statistics for MLB 2011.
One thing jumped out. That was the Dodgers' Matt Kemp not winning the NL MVP.
The winner, Milwaukee's Ryan Braun had a terrific season. And like that juror who's heard inadmissibles during trial and instructed to disregard, I've tried to not let Braun's two positive test results from 2011 color my view. Officially, his testosterone level was not twenty times higher than any ever recorded by MLB and he's as clean as a whistle.
By August it was a two-man race in the National. And it was close, but not that close.
Even as one applies a team standard, Kemp should've taken the hardware. Using those stats that bear directly on club success (games, runs, RBIs, Fld % and sacrifices), the Dodgers' star outfielder gets the nod:
Braun: G (150), SF (3), Fld%(.996 / 1E / 8A / 268 CH), runs (109) and RBIs (111);
Kemp: G (161), SF (7), Fld% (.986 / 5E / 11A / 361 CH), runs (115) and RBIs (126).
As long as the candidate has no PED-markers or Delmon-Milton tendencies, if he's got the numbers, he gets the trophy. That's a player performance standard. Simple & sound.
It's a criterion in line with today's stat-crazy fandom (fantasy), the baseball world's long love affair with individual numbers and formed the basis for the earliest MVP accolade.
Starting in 1910 with a car conferment for highest BA (Chalmers / Wikipedia), the MVP has been part promotion and part prize, its goal couched in idyllic vagaries like "most important and useful player to the club and the League (Gillette & Palmer / "The ESPN") and "the player who's of greatest all-around service to his club (Newman / "One of a Kind")." But popular perception has always been clearly & squarely focused on individual player output.
The MVP selection was never intended as a fashionable, feel-good party favor for writers as they pack their pens and board the baseball bandwagon for post-season play. Anyone given the privilege of casting-vote should have the requisite skill for finding fact or figure to distinguish close candidacies without the simple fall-back of better team record. Ugh.
If anything, shining statistically on a lesser team, where turmoil can reign and talent will beckon to opponents like a tourist in a Turkish bazaar (R. Steves), should garner more praise, more points from a voter who appreciates the full-flavor and nuance of the game.
For the first 60 years (1931) the BBWA, while giving no special favor to stars on pedestrian clubs, also never barred-the-gate to such men either. Cubs' Ernie Banks is prime example, winning back-to-backs on bottom-feeders in the late 1950s ('58 (72-82 / 5) & '59 (74-80 / 5)).
Some other non-PS recipients since the 50s include Shantz '52 (79-75 / 4); Burroughs '74 (84-76 / 2); Hernandez '79 (86-76 / 3); Murphy '83 (88-74 / 2); Dawson '87 (76-85 / 6); Schmidt '86 (86-75 / 2) and Yount '89 (81-81 / 4). Uncommon result, yes, but still, a real possibility.
With arrival of the 90s came the new, hoity-toity MVP standard. Now it was etched in stone: players on so-so clubs NEED NOT DREAM of an MVP. Cal Ripken '91 (67-95 / 6) and Larry Walker '97 (83-79 / 3) remain the last of a vanished breed (Baseball-reference.com).
Which is more laudable: riding the wave of success on a frontrunner with talent galore, or thriving in mediocrity by making the most of what you have? For many, it might be the latter as it speaks more to their own experience, their own vision of the American dream.
Playing on a contender (most MVPs) shouldn't work a penalty on a candidate, but it shouldn't work an advantage either and certainly not tip the scale and prove decisive in the vote. Along the same line, toiling on a cellar-dweller shouldn't hurt the player who's miraculously put together a stellar season against the odds.
Somebody's gotta' tell voters the MVP, in whatever sport, is not a team award.
Admittedly, it can get confusing these days, given the other troublesome trend where honorees feel compelled in their addresses to give credit to every man, woman & child they've ever encountered while taking none for themselves (Brees). You might want to plan ahead (S. Field / Oscars), but a measure of public, self-congratulation is acceptable.
In MLB, the team awards are called the Pennant (League) and Championship trophy.
Braun's pivotal play for a division champ gave him the edge with voters (LAD 82-79 / 3). And look how that turned out. Brewers were the class of the Central and then proceed to flame-out in NLCS to a rival that squeaked into the PS (STL). The Braves win umpteen divisions from 1991-05 but only one WS crown. And these are fairly typical outcomes.
One then has to wonder, what's the point of this better team standard when so many title aspirants prove to be paper-tigers, pretenders in the post-season? What exactly are these voters hanging their hats on anyway?
I take no joy in casting doubt on Ryan Braun's MVP bestowment. Using the player performance standard, Braun's numbers stack-up well against Kemp's. Reasonable minds could then have differed on who the more deserving candidate was in 2011.
I'm trying to show the fallacy of the current, prevailing team criterion. It's not just senseless, its proponents don't even apply it correctly. Not with style, at any rate.
If today's mass of voters were casting in the 50s, Mr. Cub's mantel would be as bare as Crash Davis' (Bull Durham). And that's what Annie Savoy would've called a sin in the "Church of Baseball (BD)." Amen.

TheDailyBeast: The Daily Beast Who Should Justin Bieber Date Next?
9 of 10
Skip to Main Content | Skip to Categories | Skip to Search
| Baby, listen—Justin just needs somebody to love. Actress Selena Gomez has broken up with Justin Bieber, prompting millions of Beliebers to vie for their chance to stop being lonely girls by dating the singer—despite the rumors that Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin is the reason for the split. From the recently brokenhearted Taylor Swift to the reality stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner to Twitter queen Maude Apatow, The Daily Beast rounds up some ladies who take the Biebs to places he's never seen before.

| We all know how she feels about getting back together with her ex-boyfriends. Coming off the success her new album, "Red," which sold more than 1 million copies in one week, Taylor Swift is brokenhearted once again after her breakup with Conor Kennedy. For those detractors who say Swift is too old for Bieber, she's a known cougarette—and Bieber has dated older women before (Gomez is 20 to his 18). Cue the sound of another Swift album.

| For those who think "Modern Family" star Ariel Winter is too young for Justin, keep in mind that he is the same age as her current boyfriend, Cameron Palatas. Besides, Winter could use a stabilizing influence in her life these days—the 14-year-old has alleged her mother, Chris Workman, is guilty of "physical and emotional abuse," and Winter has moved in with her older sister. Workman, however, has claimed that she caught her daughter having sex with her 18-year-old boyfriend, although police say Workman didn't come forward with the allegations until after Winter moved out. Either way, Winter and Bieber could make a great couple—and who wouldn't love to see Bieber guest-star on "Modern Family?"

| Where you think you're going, baby? The singer and Bieber go way back: they share a manager, and he's already appeared in a duet on her album. (And is it fate that the song, "Beautiful," is on an album titled "Kiss?") Plus, they're both Canadian. Call us crazy, but we think they would make "beautiful" music together.

| Give your heart a break, Demi—maybe Justin has a thing for former Disney starlets. Bieber and Gomez may have split because they didn't have enough time for each other, but his recent gig on "The X Factor" has put him near show judge Lovato, who insisted recently that she is single and not dating One Direction's Niall Horan. The 20-year-old says she "in a place right now where I really need to focus on myself," but we all know Bieber wants to make sure the world has one less lonely girl—if she lets him inside her world, that is.
(Jon Kopaloff / FilmMagic via Getty Images)

| It's not only older girls for Justin. Given Dakota Fanning's turn last year as a Marc Jacobs model, it's easy to forget the former child star is only 18—she's only seven days older than Bieber. What do they have in common? For starters, they both want to cast off a kiddie image as quickly as possible. Fanning's modeling career aside, she took on a punk image in 2011's "Runaways," and Bieber celebrated his 18th birthday by reassuring cougars that he's now legal. Who knows, maybe the pair could ring in their 20s together without a case of FOMO.
(David M. Benett / WireImage via Getty Images)

| If the Kardashian family can welcome Kanye West, why not another singer? Take your pick, Justin, of the Jenner sisters: Kendall, 17, or Kylie, 15, are both models and single. Kendall confirmed last year to Ryan Seacrest that there "no real rule" when comes to dating the Jenner household. One complication to dating Kendall: after telling Seacrest there were no rules, she accepted a date with Bieber's friend Julian Swirsky and agreed to a double date with Bieber and Gomez. Awkward.

| At 14, Judd Apatow's daughter Maude might be on the young side, but if she and Bieber were to date it would create a social-media powerhouse unlike any ever seen by this world. One of the stars of the upcoming "This Is 40," Maude already has 62,000 Twitter followers despite her age, including One Direction star Harry Styles and young-adult author Judy Blume. Combine her Twitter following with Bieber's 30 million, and the pair might be the social-media behemoth that could explode the Internet.

| We know it's a long shot, but it's hard to argue that this wouldn't be a match made in bubblegum-pop heaven. Two years ago, before he was even legal (!), Perry was caught on camera planting a smooch on Bieber's cheek, and just last month she declared herself to be a Belieber. Get ready for some teenage dreams, Katy.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Security
The government hacking into phones and seizing computers remotely? It's not the plot of a dystopian blockbuster summer movie. It's a proposal from an obscure committee that proposes changes to court procedures—and if we do nothing, it will go into effect in December.
Tech experts and industry representatives squared off against law enforcement officials in two sessions of lively testimony today in front of the House Energy and Commerce committee. Today's hearing is the latest in the ongoing battle in the courts and legislature commonly called the second "Crypto Wars," after a similar national debate in the 1990s.

The Battle of Stones River
December 31, 1862
On December 31, 1862, advancing forces under Union general William Rosecrans fought a pitched battle with Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee on the outskirts of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Both generals formed plans of attack, but Bragg struck first, pulverizing the Union right flank with two veteran divisions. False reports indicating a Union retreat kept Bragg in place on January 1, but January 2 dawned with Rosecrans stubbornly holding his ground. Bragg ordered General John Breckinridge and his division to charge the Union left late in the afternoon. Breckinridge's men crossed an open field and nearly achieved a breakthrough, but massed artillery broke up the assault at the climactic moment. Although the battle to that point had been a tactical draw, the arrival of Union reinforcements made Bragg's position untenable. He retreated on January 3, granting the North a valuable strategic victory in the middle of an otherwise dismal winter.

Cold War is topic for Matlock and panel, Nov. 23
Posted November 18, 2004; 03:56 p.m.
Prominent American diplomat Jack Matlock Jr. will present "Reagan, Gorbachev and the End of the Cold War: An Eyewitness Perspective" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 23, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall. His account will be followed by a panel discussion featuring experts on Soviet politics and the Cold War.
Matlock served as Reagan's principal adviser on Soviet affairs from 1983 to 1987 and as ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991.

Well, I´m in my father´s home. And looks like I arrived just in time.
As you probably don´t know, he is a teacher at a local college (which he hope will soon be upgraded to a university status). Anyway, he told me that they are redesigning all of the college viewable content (website, business cards etc), and asked me if I had something to sugest them. Yeah, right. I just wonder why don´t they ever learn no to ask me about things like that.
He just walked out of the computer room with a hudge list of recomendations (including netiquette [rfc1855] rules, and links to the W3.org validator and the Viewable with any browser campaign). And of course, he promissed me he would do his best to make the college adhere to these standards. I´m crossing my fingers, but considering the level of competence used to design current web site, I´m not holding my breath. (if you are trying to access it, try with a text browser; it´s a once in a lifetime experience :-)).
Anyway, today we managed to get a city mayor´s office to sign with us to change all it´s health computer network to opensource (linux, more exactly). Tomorrow, we have a new city to hit. I think maybe I´ll preach them about the anybrowser campaign ... Then again, maybe thats pushing my luck a little to far. But, maybe not.

Short earns 1 of 5 cards for Champions TourAP , Associated Press
Nov. 23, 2013 3:20 PM ET
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Wes Short Jr. earned one of five Champions Tour cards for next season in his first attempt at the 50-and-older circuit.
Short turns 50 on Dec. 4. He closed with 68 to tie the Champions Tour Q-school record at 20-under 264. He earned $30,000 for his five-shot victory over Mike Reid and Jim Rutledge of Canada. Rutledge started the final round outside the top 12 and closed with a 65 in rainy conditions at the TPC Scottsdale to earn his card.
The final two spots were decided in a playoff Saturday morning because of the rain.
Scott Dunlap and Jeff Hart each made par on the first playoff hole to get full exempt status for 2014 season.

The first book was really great. The second book was a ripoff.
Ian Malcolm does not survive the first book, but there he is in the second book without the slightest explanation. It's like the Lost World book is a sequel to the Jurassic Park movie not the Jurassic Park book.

Fresh off a two-term stint as Providence mayor, he was reeling from news that the city — which he'd declared in "excellent fiscal condition" during the campaign — had a $180 million structural deficit.
Critics accused him of lying on the stump. Cicilline appeared evasive. And before long, a Brown University poll found the Congressman with a rock-bottom approval rating of 17 percent.
"I don't know the basis of people's conclusions," he told the Providence Journal. "I've only been at the job for about 11 weeks."
The quote was a little cute; Cicilline, no doubt, knew it was the Providence hangover — and not his Washington breakfast — that ailed him.
But it spoke quite plainly to his nascent comeback strategy: pivot away from City Hall and wrap himself in Congressional politics.
The play — really his only one — was hardly ideal. Congress is enormously unpopular. And Cicilline, a freshman Democrat in the Republican-controlled House, could deliver nothing of consequence for his constituents.
But the Congressman, however weak his hand, seems in the midst of a notable — if little-noted — resurgence.
There is no public polling, yet, on how he might fare against some of the Democrats considering a primary challenge: businessman Anthony Gemma, former state Representative David Segal, and Merrill Sherman, the CEO of the soon-to-be sold Bank Rhode Island.
But if Democratic voters will be focused, in part, on the incumbent's electability in a mano-a-mano contest with the Republican nominee come November 2012, Cicilline can suddenly make a case.
In May, a high-profile WPRI-TV poll gave his two potential Republican rivals double-digit leads. But a September survey from news site GoLocalProv, which got little play in the broader media, actually put him ahead of both GOPers.
And it's not just Cicilline's short-term prospects that are looking bright. Washington insiders say the Congressman is laying the foundations for a long and successful career on Capitol Hill.
David Cicilline, in short, is building a neat little Comeback Kid narrative. But it is a fragile one.
The Congressman, truth be told, only gets partial credit for his climb back from oblivion.
Much of it — no small irony, here — goes to Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, whose February declaration of a "Category 5 hurricane" on the city's books sent Cicilline into freefall.
It's easy to forget, but there was a real sense of foreboding in Providence back then. Taveras made national headlines when he sent termination notices to every teacher in the city. Major tax hikes seemed inevitable. A Fitch Ratings analyst asked, at one point, whether the city would be able to pay its bills through the end of the fiscal year.
But Taveras wrangled millions in savings from the city's major public-sector unions. Most of the teachers kept their jobs. The City Council scaled back the mayor's proposed property tax hike.
And Taveras — an old Cicilline ally who had no interest in alienating a member of Rhode Island's small Congressional delegation — never said a word in public about his predecessor.

It is with great sadness that I inform you that JEDI DREW became one with the Force this evening at approximately 6:00pm EST. I was with him, his sister, mother, and friends, Cheryl and Jim when he transitioned. It's been a long time since he traversed these pages, but he was once quite an active member of the forums. This is the place where I made his acquaintance and for that I am forever grateful.
For those of you who remember him, please remember him with fondness. He will be missed.

Weird and ironic things always happen to me. I can think about calling my mom or hubby and the phone will ring, or I can think of someone that I haven't talked to in awhile and the next day they will contact me. Yesterday there was a super weird thing that happened to me …
I was asked to review a book called "The Skinny: Adventures Of America's First Bulimic" written by Rayni Joan and just couldn't find the time to read it until about a week ago. Yesterday I got a call from my career counselor at school and I have an interview for an internship at the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment here in Virginia Beach (my interview is the 14th so cross your fingers!) The SAME DAY the book starts talking about one of the characters being interested in the studies of Edgar Cayce and goes into some of the things they believe.
I'd never HEARD of Edgar Cayce before yesterday. Yet I have two completely different instances of hearing about him that day. What made that happen? What made me wait to read the book until the very day the section about Edgar Cayce could match up to the job interview? See? WEIRD!
Now that I've done a little research I am so ridiculously excited about my interview though … this is right up my alley. But seriously – does this weird stuff happen to anyone else?

The American chapter of Weekend Testing is an online event focused to refine testing skills and practice the art of testing in collaboration with other passionate testers. I found this "WTA06 – It's In The Cards" event to be a wonderful platform that enables testers to test products from different angles, share the diverse thoughts of fellow testers, enjoy the freedom to fail safely and learn; and most important – share personal observations and receive immediate feedback from other testers on the approaches. I continously questioned my testing approaches till the end and learnt a lot from this session. Thanks Michael Larsen for organising this session. In this article I would like to share my personal experience and lessons learned from this exercise.
Testing Challenge:
Here is a brief description of the testing challenge given in the session. For the full event details and session report please refer the website weekendtesting.com at http://weekendtesting.com/archives/1736
This week's testing challenge was brought to us by Eusebiu Blindu. Thanks Eusebiu! The game was very interesting and really challenging.
This game uses playing hand of cards, and based on the hand selected an image is generated when the player clicks on the "Generate Image" button.
The primary task is to test the application, and the mission is as follows:
1) Detect if any relation exists between the selected cards and the image generated in popup (after pressing "Generate Image")
2) Are you able to determine if the application needed some skills that you needed to improve and, if so, which is the main one?
Challenge URL:
The first one hour was spent in answering the first question. We clicked on the cards and tried to detect if the image generated had any relationship with the card selected. There were 5 suits of cards. Each suit contained cards from 2,3 to King, Ace Joker of (heart, diamond, club, spade). I tried several combinations of test input data and reported the findings. The images generated where bird, cat and fish with black, blue and red background. I was trying to detect which combination of input data creates a specific output. I did detect a pattern but the behavior was random.
The variabe that was the central focus of test was the relationship between the card selected and the image generated. We made a note of the factors that influenced this variable:
Key factors influencing the variable under test:
1. Sequence of image invocation
2. Arguments passed to the url in source code
3. Card selected
4. Order of navigation: Backward, Forward
At the end of one hour all the participants agreed that there did exist a relationship between the card selected and the image generated. We ended up with some key takeaways on the testing approaches used.
"We need to test all the combinations of input data to do complete testing"
This is a myth. Its not required to test all combinations of input data. We can seperate out the testing that is unnecessary to perform before wasting our time on all combinations. The test design should cover only the necessary combinations of input test data.
In the last one hour we started sharing our ideas and attempted to find the main testing skills needed to solve the challenge.
Listed below are the skills that I felt were key for testing after the exercise.
Automation skills:
Here I had to repeatedly test the same scenario with 253 different combinations of input test data which was monotonous. Writing a script to automatically iterate through each of these combinations to test can save lots of cost and time. Also manual testing is prone to human errors while automated tests tend to make it a lot more easier and accurate. So, automation skills are definitely required to effectively test in this context.
Analytical \ Pattern detection skills:
We need to have strong analytical skills to detect the patterns in the challenge. Test design will become easier once we are aware of the patterns. This skill is indispensable when doing testing at workplace since we cannot jump to any conclusion without thorough analysis and reasoning.
Simpifly the problem:
Even though the problem is complex, the solution can be quite simple. Through pattern detection we can generalize the solution. Quickly decompose the problem into smaller chunks for investigation and simplify it.
Focus\Defocus heuristics:
When the challenge could not be cracked with the black box approach I decided to defocus and started focusing on other approaches like boundary value analysis, viewing source code and collaboration with other testers and it helped.
Pairing and collaboration:
Some participants paired up and their consolidated findings were more than that of solos. http://testing.gershon.info/rapidreporter/pairingrr/WTA06CardsWithNancy/20110129_211619.htm is a report produced by Shmuel Gershon by pairing up with a fellow tester
Finally, these are the key takeaways from the sixth session of the American chapter of weekendtesting. I will definitely fallback on these key skills when posed with a real challenge at workplace since it really helps! Feel free to share your thoughts or question anything in this article.

Glory Announces 'Road to Glory USA' and OneFC Partnership
- Written by Dave Walsh
So you can put those pitchforks down now when it comes to conspiracy theories about what exactly is going on between Singapore's OneFC and GLORY. We've been following this story for weeks now, and neither side would budge when it came to passing out information, but it was clear that something major was going on between the two parties and that they both felt it to be a big enough deal to where they didn't want it to leak out early. When we asked Glory officials about it, the response was "where did you hear this from?" When we reached out to OneFC, it was simple a "no." Yet, here we are, and OneFC has announced an exclusive partnership with Glory, where they will be able to exchange fighters. This means OneFC fighters on Glory and DREAM events, and Glory fighters on OneFC 'network' events.
The other big Glory news is that they have formally announced the "Road to Glory USA" series, which will involve six big tournaments in six different weight classes all happening within the first five months of 2013 here in the United States. Each weight class will get its own one-night, eight man tournament with the winner being awarded $20,000, with an additional $14,000 for other participants. The winners of the tournament will also be offered a one year contract with GLORY.
The six weight classes are flyweight (143 pounds), lightweight (154 pounds), welterweight (170 pounds), middleweight (187 pounds), light heavyweight (209 pounds), heavyweight (above 209 pounds).
As for entering? Keep reading for the information about entering Glory.

UCSD discusses co-op football program
The county co-op football program has again taken center stage for the Union County School Board, and a vote on the status of the team could come as early as December.
The board opened the meeting hearing from Rickey Neaves of the Mississippi High School Activities Association. Neaves discussed the options for the team; essentially saying the program can remain county-wide and compete as an independent for one more year. At the end of the 2012 season, the board can request an extension, granting the team two more years to compete as an independent before falling into classification.
If Union County were classified after next season, the team would be placed in 5A based on the numbers combined by each school, regardless of how many students play on the team from each individual school. Also emphasized is that there is no guarantee that the MHSAA will grant the school district the two-year extension after next season.
"At the end of next season, we could possibly be classified into a 5A division," District 5 board member Wayne Mayhon said. "If any of you know about divisions in football, that means a death sentence for our football program in Union County, because we cannot compete at the 5A level."
The question now is whether to allow the team to play one more year as an independent and risk being placed into 5A in 2013 or to move the varsity program to East Union, where it would compete in 2A. Mayhon stressed that the decision would only affect the varsity program, as the junior high program would remain county-wide.
"I don't want that to happen," Mayhon said of the junior high team disassembling. "Say if later on the numbers are there, then we have other options. Two other schools could go together and make a team, but I cannot see us letting the program die with 'we may have participation.'"
District 3 and District 4 board members Buddy Dixon and Johnny Rakestraw stressed that there is no rush in making a decision, as they can go one more year with the team playing as an independent. Both would like to see what can be done in the next year as far as participation. The 2011 season ended with one only athlete from West Union and Ingomar and three from Myrtle, according to the board.
"It sounds like we can prolong this and try to start promoting this," Dixon said.
"I don't really understand the urgency in making a decision right now when we do have another year," Rakestraw added. "The only negative I can see to this [getting an extension and remaining an independent] is not having division competition. It seems to me, at risk here, is that we're taking away the opportunity for all of the kids to participate if they want to."
Mayhon brought to motion a vote to move only the varsity team to East Union and keep the junior high program county-wide, seconded by Mickey Basil of District 2, but all agreed that they would take the next month to fully evaluate all options and again discuss the matter at the December 12 meeting.

Quote:Jude, to be honest, I don't know. Over the last few years I've also done things like traditional Polish dancing where I had to retrain my body, as the TKD body I had interfered with the dancing (I would spring to high in polkas and lose the beat!).
Quote:I think it has something to do with lowering my centre of balance. I have also unconsciously changed my running technique in that I no longer take the long strides which I used to, I take smaller, more rapid steps but more generated from the waist (I think). Funnily enough, I noticed when running with some Chinese actors that this was the kind of thing they did (in contrast to my 'western' striding run).
Quote:Don't know if this helps answer the question.
Quote:Hi JudeI spend a long time teaching people how to stand, then walk and then run so that they are practicing the 'internal' side of the MA 24/7. It would take an article to begin to describe it - but as I'm due to write one this w/e - you've chosen my subject for me - so I'll post it here as soon as it's written.
Quote:Tonight, Im going to teach you how to stand, walk and then run, sifu waited for the statement to sink in.Well excuse me sifu, Ive only been practising that for the last 24 years, said Jamie with an air of mock sarcasm.And youre not very good at it, are you
. Sifu answered with a statement more than a question. This is the problem, standing, walking and running are everyday uses of the human body, when we can do this skilfully, we are practicing our martial arts all of the time and importantly, improving our health and vigour. If we perform these functions mindlessly, then we are unskilful more than we are skilful, this is going to make learning martial arts hard work. A couple of hours a week learning to move skilfully and then 166 hours a week standing, walking, running, sitting and laying unskilfully will tip the balance towards the unskilful favour every time
I never looked at it that way, Jamie said thoughtfully.If you cant stand properly, how the hell can you expect to do any martial arts with any level of skill asked sifu?Thats true lets get it on exclaimed Jamie with great enthusiasm. Okay everyone, face the direction you feel drawn to and stand naturally with your feet in line with your shoulders, feeling all the surface of your feet on the floor, be aware of the arch of each foot and the power point at the rear centre of the arch and the kidney point at the front centre. When we are standing and not becoming active, we want to open the gates and allow energy to flow naturally through the body utilising its own intelligence without any interference from our mind, so for this purpose we stand on the top of the arches so as to not activate anything through the feet. As we press from the feet to make our body fully upright, stretch the spine upwards - as if being pulled up by a rope attached to the crown of the head. Open the gap at the base of the skull by tucking the chin in and pulling the head upwards. Whilst standing tall with your bones, soften the tissue covering the structure so it hangs on an upright skeleton.Now join the governor and conception vessels at the top end by placing the tongue to the top palette just behind the teeth and gently press. Join them at the bottom by using the zip and tuck method as if trying to zip yourself into a tight pair of jeans, pull your lower abdomen in and upwards.Sink and hollow the chest by releasing tension, there are five stages of letting go that will eventually connect that point to the feet. This also opens the back, enabling the shoulder blades to be pulled apart and slightly down. Breathe from the stomach and feel as if you are filling the stomach with air and then the back by flaring the lat muscles.Sink your bodyweight into the muscles and tendons as opposed to the joints by releasing the ankles, knees, hips and chest. Sense which side of the body is yin and which is yang in the equally weighted posture.Now we use the standing posture to increase our sensitivity.Close your eyes if you feel comfortable, or just let them drift out of focus, this will help you to focus on your other senses. The classics say there must be activity within inactivity and inactivity within activity. Sharpen your other senses and feel the location of everything and everyone around you, increasing your depth of perception and hearing the sounds and feeling all movement that you would otherwise not sense.Increasing sensitivity is the key. Feel as if all your energy is bought to the skin increasing its sensitivity and feel as if someone touched you they would get an electric shock.Your mind is like sandpaper, in everyday life it is coarse and only picks up on the necessary stimulus for you to carry out mundane tasks or deal with an emergency, everything else gets screened out, so like the sandpaper we need to gradually make it finer. Your activity in inactivity here is to sharpen your senses and be able to pick up on the signs that everybody else misses.But you cant walk with that kind of mind can you, asked Jamie?Not exactly, but you can have all your senses sharpened for everyday life, answered sifu. But lets get on to walking
To create motion, direct your bodyweight at an angle of 45 degrees backwards into the previously mentioned power point zip and tuck and sink the chest to roll the ribcage down creating a pump in the waist, pulse from power point to the kidney point the yin foot taking the head to the yang foot and weighting it, with the waist spiralling around to unpeel the yin foot off the floor. The foot comes off the floor with a final pulse and slight flinch to ensure that it is fully empty and light in movement. The step forward feels like something being thrown off a spiral into a straight line. As you walk slightly swing your arms in the same order as a soldier would when marching, leading to the spiralling motion of the waist and the slight turn of the head into each foot.This way, the entire internal system is being pumped with each step and you are using the same stepping motion that you use in your martial arts. You will also become more internally sensitive as time goes by and be constantly developing your power sources and awareness..The students had been following sifus instructions and were now walking around the kwoon, almost like prisoners in a prison yard.All you need now sifu is the mirrored sunglasses and shotgun! Jamie just couldnt resist the analogy.Okay guys now to run, speed the process so that the pulse from the feet is driving the head forward and the head leads the body, use the waist to pump the legs.No problem
.This is nothing like I was doing before, exclaimed Jamie.Absolutely replied sifu now you can adapt tai chi to every movement you make in life and be training all the time as you move, stand and then apply it to sitting and lying, the four positions the Buddha recommended for meditation - meaning you should be mindful all of the time
Quote:How does this thread manage to not get locked up? Do we have mods who are chi junkies or something? Seriously! What gives here?Sort of tells you about the state of this site when the largest thread has to do with freakin CHI: shoes and metal parts!People, get lives. Actually train. Do something. Get in touch with the Amazing Randi. Anything.

Pittsburgh hires new public works director, calls for new applicants for public safetyJanuary 28, 2014 11:09 PM
The Peduto administration continued its efforts Tuesday to reshape Pittsburgh city government, proposing a restructuring of some city departments, hiring a veteran to head the department of public works and announcing that it was seeking another round of applicants for public safety director.
Pittsburgh City Council also approved a severance program that would offer lump sum or monthly payments to eligible non-union and non-uniform employees to retire early, a proposal by Mayor Bill Peduto to usher out some longtime city employees to make room for his own hires.
Tuesday morning, Mr. Peduto announced he was hiring Mike Gable, a 39-year veteran of city government who retired as a deputy public works director last year, to head that department. Mr. Gable, 57, briefly served as a deputy director of public works for Allegheny County after leaving the city.
Mr. Gable will replace Rob Kaczorowski, who was appointed by former Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, to head one of the city's largest departments. With a budget of $35 million, public works handles construction projects, road maintenance, refuse pickup and snow plowing, among other things.
He is the administration's first hire through Talent City, an initiative underwritten and organized by foundations to scrutinize candidates for dozens of city positions with human resource professionals and selection committees. The Peduto administration has the final say on the hires, but has committed to hiring from the finalists recommended by Talent City.
For public safety, though, Mr. Peduto said he plans to re-advertise the position through Talent City to attract new candidates and new finalists. Early this month, he said he was close to making a decision among three finalists from Talent City, but later he said he no longer wanted to put a timeline on the process.
Mike Huss, the current director of public safety and a holdover from the Ravenstahl administration, remains a finalist for the position. The Peduto administration also proposed a budget amendment Tuesday that would raise the director's salary from $105,00 to $125,000, making the position one of the few that pays more than the mayor's.
The retirement incentive package approved by city council is a critical piece of Mr. Peduto's plan to bring in fresh faces and to eliminate some positions. Under the program, 176 non-union and non-uniform employees are eligible because they have a combined 70 years of age and years of service. The deadline for employees to take the program was extended Tuesday to March 14.
Another bill, to allocate $7.1 million for the program from the city's surplus, also was introduced Tuesday, though administration officials have said they believe it will cost considerably less.
The administration also proposed nearly a dozen budget amendments to reorganize several city departments, moving some closer to the mayor's office and renaming others.

Yesterday I spent a fun day working on the first part of Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt called Easy Street. Of course I had to take breaks from sewing all those little blocks and I spent that time hitting some great Black Friday sales online. I have lots of fabric and some new AccuQuilt dies coming.
My daughter and grandson went out Thursday night to the stores to hit all the sales….yep…they were some of those crazy people lined up around Target. I guess it took 10 minutes for them to just get into the store when it opened. They got some deals but it was funny to hear her say that she doesn't think she will ever do that again. I did it once a long time ago and won't do it again. Did you go out and hit the stores for the sales?
I am sticking with the colors that Bonnie picked out because I have never made a quilt with grey fabrics and I also love the other bold colors she has picked out. I would almost like to make another quilt at the same time with different color choices but…………..there are too many other projects I'm working on. Are you going to make this mystery quilt?
My blocks are all done, I really like the marbleized grey fabric I used. I bought it originally to make my second Nyan Cat quilt and then decided to make it from batiks. I had only bought a yard and a half so I went back to my local quilt store and was fortunate that there was still some on the bolt…I bought the rest.
I also bought a new ruler………….do you think I needed one? This is my absolute favorite ruler as it has a little lip that grabs my cutting board. I know I have had it for years and wasn't sure if I could find it again…..I like the marking better on the original one……at least the markings that are left. Now I'm sure you know I won't throw away the old one…..
Do you have favorite tools like that?

The California Sentinel Provider Influenza Surveillance Program is a partnership between clinicians, local health departments (LHDs), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct surveillance for influenza-like illness (ILI). Since its inception in 1998, the program has been contributing valuable information to state, national, and global influenza surveillance efforts.
The information collected by California sentinel providers is combined with other influenza surveillance data on influenza-related hospitalizations, antiviral usage, severe influenza cases and laboratory detections from collaborating hospital, academic, and public health laboratories throughout the state to monitor the timing, location, and impact of influenza viruses year-round.
Sentinel Providers report the number of patients seen with ILI in five age categories (0-4 years, 5-24 years, 25-49 years, 50-64 years, >64 years) and the total number of patients seen for any reason. Reports are submitted on a weekly basis to the CDC by internet or fax.
Case definition for Influenza-like Illness
Compiling and reporting data usually takes less than 30 minutes per week. Participating sentinel providers receive weekly updates on state and national influenza activity. Weekly updates of California influenza activity can also be accessed on the website for the Influenza (Flu) and Other Respiratory Diseases.
Nasal, throat, or nasopharyngeal swabs from selected patients are submitted to the CDPH Viral and Rickettsial Disease Laboratory (VRDL) for viral testing free of charge. Specimen collection kits will be replenished as specimens are submitted.
CDPH encourages sentinel providers to submit samples for influenza testing. It is especially important to collect and submit specimens early in the season (October-December), when influenza isolates are forwarded to the CDC to identify which strains are circulating and should be considered for inclusion in the seasonal influenza vaccine. Testing at least three specimen a week from each sentinel provider is recommended to meet the goal of testing a sampling of specimens from different areas of the state in all age groups throughout the influenza season, and to characterize circulating strains, populations affected, and whether a novel influenza virus is emerging that may herald a new pandemic strain.
Specimens will be tested for influenza A and B by PCR. Specimens that test positive by PCR for influenza A will then be subtyped and specimen testing positive for influenza B will be lineage typed. If you have any questions regarding submission of specimens or test results, please e-mail VRDL at email@example.com or (510) 307-8585.
Specimens should be collected from patients that meet the case definition for influenza-like illness (see case definition above), especially those with any of the following:
Influenza viruses are constantly changing which requires ongoing collection and characterization of the strains. By reporting weekly influenza-like illness data and sending respiratory specimens to the state laboratory for testing, Sentinel Providers play a critical role in state and national influenza surveillance. Your participation enables us to monitor the impact of influenza and helps to guide prevention and control policies, vaccine strain selection, and recommendations for patient care.
Providers of any specialty (e.g., family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, infectious diseases) in any type of practice (e.g., private practice, public health clinic, urgent care center, emergency room, university student health center) are eligible to be sentinel providers. In addition, sentinel providers may be physicians, nurse practitioners or physician assistants.
Fill out the Sentinel Provider Enrollment Form and return it to the Immunization Branch, Influenza Sentinel Provider Program by:
For more information about enrolling in the Sentinel Provider Program, contact the Immunization Branch at firstname.lastname@example.com or 510-620-3737. For questions regarding specimen submission and available testing, please contact VRDL at 510-307-8585 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

You've been told since you were five that most body heat is lost through your head. That's why Castelli created the Stelvio Beanie to be a stylish barrier against brain-numbing cold.
This fine-gauge, knit beanie is perfect for a trip to the coffee shop when it's too snowy to ride, but you still want to show off your love of cycling. The Stelvio beanie blends wool and acrylic fibers, which creates a soft fabric that insulates without being itchy. A signature Castelli jacquard graphic has been added to the beanie — meaning it was knit as a part of the weave, not as an afterthought.
The Castelli Stelvio Beanie is perfect for temperature as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It's available in a one-size-fits-most size and in the colors White/red and Black/red.

For the past few years, I've been using Avast antivirus free for my AV needs, it's exceptionally light and quick. However, last night it updated to version 8 and needed a reboot to complete, I didn't bother since I was shutting off the computer anyway. This morning, I turn the computer on and as it's booting up it crashes, BSOD (blue screen of death). I reboot and it gets all the way through the boot this time, reports the BSOD serious error, and a few moments later it BSODs again. I realize the update is likely the cause unless I'm having a hardware failure, so I search and sure enough Avast 8 running opposite Zone Alarm firewall (a very good firewall) causes BSODs, it's been known for weeks in beta and they launched it gold anyway! WHO DOES THAT?!?
I uninstall Avast and install Zone Alarm's antivirus module to the firewall, but it turns out that thing is a memory and resource pig AND if I get an email virus it will wait until the email lands in Thunderbird, my email program, and then remove that entire email folder instead of the single infected email - obviously that's no good. So I had to uninstall Zone Alarm Firewall+Antivirus, reinstall Zone Alarm Firewall without the insane AV, and then track down another effective, non-hog antivirus, eventually going with AVG since it's fairly low resource and works well with Thunderbird.
At this point I'm thinking I should just stuff it all and get a Chromebook. Ha! No, nobody's really thinking that.

Alert neighbor helps nab man who robbed Northampton County store at gunpoint
BATH, Pa. - Police in Northampton County say a very alert neighbor helped nab an armed robbery suspect in less than 24 hours. That neighbor and the store owner shared their story with 69 News.
It happened in the middle of the afternoon, and security cameras caught it all. A man walked into Wunderler's Market in Bath and let his gun say, "Show me the money."
"He pulled out the gun as he was walking in, and he pointed it at my husband and said, 'Open the door and give me the money,'" said co-owner Joyce Wunderler.
It all happened so fast, Wunderler didn't know what to think.
"He was in such a hurry, and he was shaking the whole time," she said. "He looked more nervous than I was!"
Wunderler's husband tried to chase after the robber, but the trail turned cold. Until a neighbor, Mike Flyte, saw him peeling out.
"All of a sudden, the car ended up coming through the stop sign," said Flyte. "He threw it in reverse, almost backed into my truck."
Wunderler added: "He thought it looked suspicious, so he kept watching it."
Flyte remembered the car in remarkable detail.
"Four door, beige, zebra hearts sticker on the back with a pink outline around it, missing the right front headlight," he said.
Cops nabbed Daniel Preziosi, 24, outside his home above the Fox Gentleman's Club just a few blocks away.
"They were waiting in town for the car," said Wunderler.
The Wunderlers positively identified Preziosi from a lineup, according to Colonial Regional Police. He is now in jail under $75,000 bond. Court records indicate the suspect spent a year in prison for dealing drugs in 2011.
As for Flyte, he said he was just trying to be a good citizen.
"Trying to prove nice guys don't finish last," he said.
The Wunderlers said all this was over barely more than 100 bucks. No one was hurt in the robbery.
(An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Donald Wunderler spent a year in prison. Preziosi is the one with the criminal record.)

At the end of June we got to relive and re-lurve some of our fave jams from the past with a list of the 10 hottest summer hits of the past decade. And of course, there was a separate page for Britney Spears songs alone, thanks to some gentle prodding from readers. Wink. But since there's no time like the present, PITNB is ready to rep for the music of 2012. Here are our picks for the very best summer jams out right now. Most tracks (or videos) were released between May and July of this year, and all tracks are guaranteed to leave you feeling all warm and gooey inside. So you might wanna turn on the AC; our top 40 do not play around.
Here's hoping that this list has some of your faves, as well as some unfamiliar music. Before making this list I wasn't especially familiar with Haim, Feist, Giselle, Time Flies, and a few others. Now, I'll remember their names for sure; some of their tracks top this list, and with good reason. And of course we have the crowd favorites: Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey, Kanye West with G.O.O.D. Music, and Amy Winehouse all released some seriously good music this summer as well.
And everyone should know by now that I welcome any and all suggestions, and will most likely find a way to squeeze them onto the post. So if we missed your fave (and I promise at least seven of you that we did, lol) feel free to rant, rave, and request an addition to the list in the comments.
*The list is ranked, but loosely. I mean, can you really distinguish between number 24 and number 27 on these kind of lists? Methinks not. Better to just enjoy this eclectic mega mix of our 2012 summer (so far) jams :)
40. Radical Something: Lemonade
Apparently, "if you've got problems and you wanna get away, take some vodka and mix it in your lemonade," is just what the Radical Somethings recommend for a care-free day. Sounds like a smoothed-out summer jam to me! (Please drink responsibly).
39. Meek Mill feat. Drake & Jeremih: Amen
A pastor just tried to get this song banned. So you know it's good… or at least interesting, lol. Shouts-out to Pastor Johnson.
38. Cheryl Cole: Call My Name
Remember Cheryl Cole? Well the UK pop singer's going by Cheryl now and she's got a new single. Me likey:
37. Cloudeater feat. Wale: Faces
We heard this track earlier in the summer and even got a special thank-you from Cloudeater. For that alone they deserve another shout-out :) But their sound is also unique and they really know how to pick a featured rapper.
36. Iggy Azalea feat. B.o.B.: Million Dollar Misfits
Speaking of good features, Iggy and B.o.B. were perfectly complimentary on this track. It's from Iggy's debut album Glory, and it's a fantastic summer jam.
35. Feist: Bittersweet Melodies (Christian Strobe Remix)
Not every summer song should be a club banger, and Strobe's remix to Feist's newly released single does something so fantastic to the original, but without compromising the song's simple beauty.
And while the remix is brilliant, the original video for the song (released in April) was absolutely mind blowing. How amazing is this photographer for re-creating the past like this? Ahhh, sweet summer nostalgia.
34. Willow Smith: I Am Me
So many people hated or semi-hated on this track! C'mooon! But a lot of ya'll had love for it, like me. I say go get 'em Willow; auto-tune and all.
33. Tweet: Trouble
It was sooooooooo good to hear new music from Tweet, which she gave us just about every Tuesday. This was one of her best.
32. Haim: Forever
One of the coolest parts about making this list was discovering music that was completely new to me. The girls of Haim are all sisters under age 22; they will transport you back to the 90s, but then kinda the 80s and then yeah, then you're just in love.
31. Melanie Fiona feat. J. Cole: This Time
Falling in love with Melanie Fiona via my love for J. Cole was an awesome experience. The beat was bumping, J. Cole was… J. Cole, and Melanie sang the ish outta this summer jam. Such a good baby-don't-leave-me-I-promise-I'ma-change track; we need those in life.

Last night I got FOP working on my BSD box, it depends on Java. First I tried with diablo java, but it crashed on startup. I checked if others had experienced the same, apparently this was a known problem on the FreeBSD 5.x. Though it should work on FreeBSD 4.x.. Had I only known this on beforehand. I decided to see if I would have more luck installing jdk142. First I had to make an account at sun.com and supplying lots of info about myself. The registration took really long time. Next I had to download 3 files.
-rw------- 1 root wheel 2513462 Apr 7 14:08 j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip -rw------- 1 neoneye neoneye 49269919 Apr 7 14:02 j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip -rw------- 1 root wheel 35829260 Apr 7 14:53 j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin
About 87 mbytes. I had to add linux fs emulation to fstab, and mount it. I had to load a linux emulation kernel module.
Finally It started compiling java. Many hours compiling on my pentium 700MHz, where the machine hardly could be used because of lacking. I went to a friends place and played poker, when I got back the installation was completed. It had consumed 3.3 gbytes diskspace! Installing java can be painful.

Events accompany 'Godunov,' April 12-14
Posted April 4, 2007; 03:28 p.m.
Scholars of Russian history, literature, theater and music will convene Thursday through Saturday, April 12-14, for a series of scholarly events accompanying Princeton's production of "Boris Godunov," the famed Russian play by Alexander Pushkin.
The "Godunov" production, which runs April 12-14 in the Berlind Theatre, is the culmination of a multifaceted project that has involved Princeton scholars, students, artists and theater professionals from across campus. Directed by Tim Vasen, the production is inspired by Russian director Vsevolod Meyerhold's unrealized version of Pushkin's historical play and will feature a score by Sergei Prokofiev that was commissioned by Meyerhold but never used for a live performance of the play. The "Godunov" project is managed by Caryl Emerson, chair of the Slavic languages and literatures department, and Simon Morrison, associate professor of music.
The scholarly events, which are open to the public, begin with a keynote address on "Meyerhold and His World (1929-1940)" by independent scholar Leonid Maximenkov at 4:30 p.m. April 12 in 101 McCormick Hall.
From 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. April 13, an international symposium will be held in McAlpin Auditorium, Woolworth Center of Musical Studies. Topics will include Russian modernist theater and set design, the challenge of translating a play such as "Godunov" into English for a contemporary audience, and Prokofiev's incidental music for stage and film.
The symposium will include three panels, featuring Vasen with specialists on Meyerhold's theater and the arts of the Stalin era, "Godunov" translator Antony Wood with other experts on Pushkin's drama, and leading Prokofiev scholars from the United States and abroad. Texas A&M University historian Chester Dunning will deliver a lecture titled "The Pretender Dmitrii in History and the Use of History in Pushkin's 'Comedy.'"
From 9 a.m. to noon April 14, a series of scholarly talks on topics related to Meyerhold and Prokofiev -- conducted only in Russian -- will be held in the Graduate Seminar Room of the Mendel Music Library, Woolworth Center.
Tickets for the "Godunov" production have sold out. If seats become available through last-minute cancellations, they can be purchased at the McCarter Theatre Center box office prior to show times, which are 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday with a 2 p.m. matinee Saturday.

I have two readonly textboxes, one textbox is linked with the jquery datepicker and the other textbox is linked with the timepicker jquery. Now the great thing about the jquery datepicker is that I can range my dates so that the user cannot select any dates before the current date. But the Jquery timepicker cannot be ranged so the time is before the current time.
Because of this there is a possbile chance that the user can select the current date but a time before the current time. Obviously this means the time chosen has passed the current time of the current day which I don't want happening. So a validation is needed where if date textbox and time textbox is past the current date and time, then a message is displayed stating "The Date and Time you have selected is before the Current Date and Time" else if time and date together is past current date and time then display "".
How can I do this. Below is my best attempt at it but I couldn't get it to work.

The U.S. stock market certainly doesn't seem worried about a correction.
On a busy Wednesday that saw both the early release of the FOMC minutes and President Obama proposing a $3.7 trillion budget that has an outside (or even very small) chance of being acceptable to Republicans, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's 500 index set record closing highs that were comfortably above their previous levels.
The Dow rose 128.78 points, or 0.88% to close at 14,802.24, surpassing the record 14,673.46 set yesterday. The Dow is now up 13% in 2013.
The S&P 500 had an even better day, gaining a surprising 1.2% to close at 1,587.73, a record the beats the previous high of 1,570.25 set on April 2. The S&P has gained 2.2% in the past three trading days, its best three-day run since Jan. 4, and has risen 11.3% this year.
The Russell 2000 index, meanwhile, rose 1.8% to close at 946.09, still off its record close of 953.07, but the small-cap index's best day since Jan. 2; the Russell is up 11.4% this year.
Stocks' gains apparently came at the expense of most other asset classes. Emphasizing the risk-on nature of today's session, Treasury prices fell while precious metals took a hefty hit: In the wake of Goldman Sachs telling investors to short gold, the metal fell 1.76% to $1,558.30 an ounce. Silver dropped 0.8% to $27.64 an ounce, while copper was also dented, losing 0.7% to close at $3.41 a pound.
Though there was a view that today's rally was thanks to confidence spurred by the Fed minutes showing that the bond-buying program won't end soon, other suggested factors behind the pop included the gains by cyclical stocks signalling sustained growth and positive macro and fiscal news from China and Japan.
As I wrote earlier, for those wishing to be bearish there is some worrying evidence in the fact that today's highs weren't as broad based as during previous records.
For at least one day, though, such wariness may be no more than nitpicking. While a further worsening of the job market or disappointing earnings could derail stocks, perhaps for now investors should just enjoy the ride. As Kopin Tan wrote in Barron's early last month (sub required):
Sure, the bull market is entering its fifth year, but there's little evidence of the kind of things that set off a bear market—things like looming recessions, constricting monetary policies, extreme valuations, and investor euphoria, says Keith Lerner, SunTrust Bank's senior market strategist. "U.S. economic output, corporate earnings, and consumer spending have all already recovered to new highs." In a way, you could say the Dow is merely catching up.
