Mikel Arteta has had to curb his attacking instincts to adjust to his new role as the deepest-lying member of Arsenal's midfield.
The Spaniard has been utilised in a number of different positions during his time at the Club, but has assumed a more defensive role following the departure of Alex Song.
The 30-year-old has flourished in his new position, making more passes than any player in the Premier League, with an superb success rate of 94 per cent.
"It's a very important job, balancing the team between attack and defence, and that's what I've been attempting to do," Arteta told the Official Arsenal Magazine.
"I've had to change my mentality a little bit - I know that I can't go forward as much as I used to, and I need to sacrifice more in attack - but if it's beneficial for the team I'm more than happy to do it.
"If you want to play at a top-level club like Arsenal you have to adapt to different roles and situations. We've got so many attacking players now, with a lot of quality going forward, and I know I now have more defensive responsibility.
"I need to assume that responsibility to help my team-mates and I'm very pleased to do it if we get the right results."
The role of a defensive midfielder has evolved in recent years, and Arteta says there is now much more to the position than in the past.
"There are many different aspects to it," he said. "For me it's not only about how strong physically you are, or how demanding the position is physically - it's about being aware, anticipating, being able to read the game and assess what's happening.
"Sometimes you don't need to make unbelievable tackles to win the ball back - not if you're in the right position.
"But it's a demanding position for me mentally, because we have a lot of defensive responsibility and if you don't do it correctly then you can get caught by a run, or something like that, and it's a goal. That's the biggest thing to be mindful of."

KET founder recognized for contribution to Kentucky
February 14, 2013
We would like to extend our congratulations and appreciation to our founder, O. Leonard Press, who has been awarded the 2012 Vic Hellard Jr. Award for excellence in public service from the Kentucky Legislative Research Commission. You can watch the entire award ceremony here.
Len is a pioneer for using the power of television to bring educational resources into Kentucky's classrooms and homes. In the 1950s, when television itself was taking its first tentative steps, an idea was formed in Kentucky: Use the medium to overcome geographic barriers and educate young people.
And the story of how that idea became Kentucky Educational Television is the story of O. Leonard Press. Read it all here.
Says Shae Hopkins, KET executive director and CEO: "We are so pleased that Len Press is being recognized with this award. Through his vision and hard work, he created and established KET as Kentucky's only broadcast network and one of the nation's preeminent public broadcasting services. From KET's inception, Len Press set forth the educational mission and priorities that still serve the Commonwealth and nation today. I can think of no one more deserving of this honor for his selfless lifelong public service."

American Opera Projects Participates in the Brooklyn Public Library's Kwanzaa Project, 12/27-12/28
AOP (American Opera Projects) in partnership with The Walt Whitman Project will be participating in the Brooklyn Public Library's annual free Kwanzaa program on Thursday, December 27 at 3pm at the S. Stevan Dweck Auditorium at the Central Library, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn Public Library (10 Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11238). On Friday, December 28 at 2pm, the program will be repeated at the Rosetta Gaston Senior Center in Brownsville (460 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212.) Both performances are free and open to the public. Reservations are not necessary, but seating is first come, first served.
AOP "I Hear America Singing" will be presenting excerpts of Nkeiru Okoye's folk opera HARRIET TUBMAN: When I Crossed That Line to Freedom, performed by soprano Sumayya Ali (Broadway's Porgy and Bess, Ragtime!) and mezzo-soprano Briana Hunter with AOP Resident Music Director Mila Henry on piano. Direction is by Beth Greenberg (New York City Opera). The opera is currently in development at AOP.
Created by American Opera Projects and The Walt Whitman Project (Artistic Director, Greg Trupiano) in 2009, "I Hear America Singing," inspired by the poem of Walt Whitman, seeks to express the varied thoughts, feelings, and stories of the people of our nation into a communal voice that will resonate for all. Previous performances of "I Hear America Singing" include works by AOP composers Gilda Lyons (Songs from the A Train and Songs from the F Train) and Nkeiru Okoye (Brooklyn Cinderella), based on poetry written by Brooklyn children.
2012 marks the 8th year of the Kwanzaa program at the Brooklyn Public Library. Poet Angeli Rasbury will return to curate the free celebration honoring universal African-American heritage and culture with music performances, readings, and reflections. In addition to the music by AOP, storytelling will be provided by Elders Share the Arts' "Pearls of Wisdom."
Over the years, the event has enjoyed the participation of diverse performers including CASYM Steel Pan Orchestra, the Restoration Youth Arts Academy, and features the works of composers and librettists currently working in Brooklyn as well as new creations of young writers.
Singers Sumayya Ali and Briana Hunter and pianist Mila Henry appear courtesy of American Opera Projects and The Walt Whitman Project, made possible in part by generous support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Beginning in 1972, Hassell studied classical Indian music under the tutelage of Pandit Pran Nath, modifying Nath's vocal techniques to the trumpet to develop the Fourth World concept, which he introduced with 1978's Vernal Equinox. The jazz-inspired Earthquake Island appeared a year later, and in 1980 Hassell issued Possible Musics/Fourth World Vol. 1, a collaboration with Brian Eno. (A sequel, Dream Theory in Malaya/Fourth World Vol. 2, was quick in forthcoming.) Through Eno, he also began working with a series of experimental pop acts, appearing on records by Talking Heads, David Sylvian, and Peter Gabriel; in 1982, Hassell additionally scored Magazzini Criminali's Venice production of Sulla Strada, earning an Ubu Award for Best Music for a Theatrical Work.
Following 1983's Aka-Dabari-Java/Magic Realism (co-produced by Daniel Lanois), Hassell did not resurface on record until 1986's Power Spot; in the interim, he composed "Pano de Costa," a string quartet piece recorded by the Kronos Quartet for their White Man Sleeps LP. The Surgeon of the Nightsky Restores Dead Things by the Power of Sound followed in 1987, and that same year Hassell collaborated with the Burkina Faso percussion ensemble Farafina, a union that spawned 1989's Flash of the Spirit. The hip-hop-inspired City: Works of Fiction appeared in 1990, and four years later he launched Dressing for Pleasure; subsequent projects have included Lurch, an experimental dance piece choreographed by Gideon Obarzanek, and 1999's Fascinoma, on which Hassell collaborated with Ry Cooder and Jacky Terrasson. Hollow Bamboo was issued a year later. Hassell returned in 2005 with the release of Maarifa Street: Magic Realism, Vol. 2, which featured live recordings reworked and mixed with studio sessions. In 2009, Hassell released the much lauded ECM effort Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street, which once again featured material woven together from a variety of studio sessions. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Drudge and Washington Times cited each other in propagating anti-Kerry rumor
Research ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
On May 24, the Drudge Report linked to a Washington Times article on comments Senator John Kerry allegedly made about President George W. Bush's May 22 bicycle accident, completing a conservative misinformation-laundering operation that began when Drudge first reported the alleged comments the day before.
Sandwiched between a photo of Kerry in a bicycle helmet and a photo of Bush waving, his hand and face scraped and bleeding, the May 23 Drudge Report featured the following blurb:
President fell off bike Saturday.. Kerry told reporters in front of cameras, 'Did the training wheels fall off?'... Reporters are debating whether to treat it is as on or off the record... [All ellipses and typographical errors in original]
By 6:12 GMT, May 24, the Drudge item was joined by a link to a Washington Times article titled "Kerry pokes fun at Bush mishap"; the Drudge link to the Times article read "Kerry pokes fun at Bush mishap..."
The Washington Times article cited Matt Drudge as its source for the Kerry quote:
Democrat John Kerry joked about President Bush's weekend bicycle accident by comparing the president to a child, Internet newshound Matt Drudge reported yesterday.
"Kerry told reporters in front of cameras, 'Did the training wheels fall off?'" Mr. Drudge reported on his Web site, www.drudgereport.com. ...
Mr. Drudge said the debate among reporters over the on-camera "training wheels" remark has been "whether to treat it as on or off the record."
The Washington Times seemed to suggest - but didn't directly report -- that the Kerry campaign confirmed the comments:
Interviewed by The Washington Times yesterday, Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter would say only that the words Mr. Drudge reported were "off the record."
By 6:16 GMT, Drudge had removed his own item about Kerry's comment, leaving only the link to the Washington Times article.

i'm just trying to get the most growth and most honey from my hive. i'd like to avoid swarming, but my primary goal is to build my hive as quickly and naturally as i can. Quotein a wild hive, the "brood chamber" would not be disturbed? Beekeeping's the best step forward was a movable frame. With it you may look into hive and arrange combs, change queen, reed bee stock , stop swarming and what ever.Beekeeping is far from natural and the best what you may do is disturbe brood area and learn to understand what is happening in the hive during the year.To nurse bees is compicated: watch diseases, signs of swarming, when to enlarge, when to extract.....
in a wild hive, the "brood chamber" would not be disturbed?
when you add the third deep, reason is that hive is getting too much bees or honey and pollen is filling combs. *** If honey flow has started, I put third box topmost. - If there is too much honey in second box, I lift them up but in the middle of third box I move 3-4 brood frames. For honey they have 7-6 frames. - I don't touch into first box. - To second box I put 2-3 foundations between brood frames. - To third box I may put 2-3 foundations too. - To sides of second deep I put empty drawn combs.REASON: 1) Around brood area I arrange more room for eggs. 2) On sides empty room for pollen and nectar that bees feel that tey hace space 3) Fillde frame up to periferia that bees need not handle honey any more. 4) If there is old honey or winter sugar in frames, I put them between larva frames. So bees unburden old pollen and honey and molbilize them. Brood will be in these combs later.FOURTH BOX:*** Summer is going on, and bees are more and let's hope, honey is coming in.*** Next week when you add third box, you need to give more room.*** If third box is full of brood, reverse the second and third box . Bees lift honey to fourth box from the area of brood. *** This is time when yout ought to do swarming inspections. During this job you may arrange frames, you may add foundations and keep free space for brood and honey. The lowest box is mostly for pollen.**** !!! When you add emty super combs add them allways just over the brood area. Never mind if queen goes there and lay. When brood is capped you lift frames top and give new empty combs over brood area.*** When you inspect for swarming, you may need fourth deep where you lift all food combs from sedonf and third box. Some hive may gather 1,5 box pollen. That is valuable material and just arrange more room for laying. Mad pollen gatherers are often good brood raisers.
Notice bolded text:]So Finsky are you saying that you never disturb the bottom brood chamber?
The Only movement of brood that you do is from the second chamber to the third...?
Did you mean when you add the fourth box or should the title of this section be "Third Box"?
I have not used excluders because I have heard that they don't help the hive to grow or to produce honey.
It is a big advantage when doing an unlimted brood nest (no excluder version) to have all the same sized boxes.

"The team is going to live or die on its experience and leadership," said head coach Jim Wendling.
In addition to the seniors, Canisius returns nine other players who played in 10 or more games last season.
Preseason All-MAAC selection Brianna Smith highlights the Griffs front line. She led the team in goals (11), points (22), shots (57), shot percentage (.193) and game-winning goals (3) in 2012. Wendling is expecting more of the same in 2013, however he's also relying on the All-MAAC forward to play a bigger role in setting up her teammates.
"I think [Smith] is the best forward in our conference this year," Wendling said. "She has to score. We won't be successful without her scoring 14 or 15 goals. She also has to get five or six assists."
Also playing a big role up front with Smith will be junior Mallory Illsley. Wendling's expecting her speed to cause some problems for opposing defenses. Illsley saw action in all 19 games last season, recording two assists and 13 shots.
"Illsley will cause defenders headaches with her speed," Wendling said. "She needs to score for us."
In addition to the two veterans on the front line, sophomore Brittany Krause could also factor in as a forward for Canisius. Her versatility will allow her to play either as a forward or midfielder. Freshman Kathleen Lawver is expected to see action up front for the Griffs as well.
The midfield will also rely on veteran presence, with seniors Katie Griffin and Kelly McMahon anchoring the Griffs. Each scored a goal in 2012, but Wendling is hoping to see each player play a bigger role in the offensive attack in 2013.
"We need four or five goals out of each Katie Griffin and Kelly McMahon in order to be successful this season," Wendling said. "[McMahon] is the key to our attack because of her technical skill and distribution and needs to use that to give us opportunities. [Griffin] is a more physical presence on the field and is able to win 50-50 balls for us."
Maria Nelms is another upperclassman who will play a big role in the Canisius midfield, the junior played in 19 games last season, starting 12. Nelms notched a goal and an assist in 2012.
Sophomore Brittany Bowen will serve as the Griffs center-mid, and her importance to the team's midfield was on display during its exhibition game against Buffalo.
"She's playing really, really well," Wendling said. "When she had to step out of our scrimmage we lost the midfield area. She's going to really be an important factor."
The newcomers who could make an impact in the midfield are Katie Felegy and Sabrina Fitzgerald.
Canisius' back line will host a number of players with experience in 2013. Six players who played at least 14 games last season return to the Griffs' defense.
Senior Adrianna Suk is the only senior of the group and she will be relied on as the center back. Suk started 12 of the 16 games she saw action in last season.
"[Suk] is someone who definitely has to step up as a senior," Wendling said. "We need her to have a bigger presence physically on the field as well as vocally demanding presence. She's got great size, good speed and is good with the ball."
Although she's just a junior, Jenny Piaggione has played in all but two contests since arriving on campus, and will serve as the other veteran defender for the Griffs.
To compliment Suk will be a pair of sophomores who played big roles as freshmen in 2012. Alexis Kroese and Tara McPherson both project to be starters for the Griffs. They started 12 and 13 games respectively in 2012.
Freshman Callie Good will play in the rotation as well for Canisius.
"She's going to see a lot of minutes depending on how the seniors play," Wendling said. "She can play a back, she can play outside mid, she can play defensive mid. She's really having a good preseason."
Senior Megan Tock figures to be the primary goaltender for the Griffs for the second season. She's just 70 minutes shy of 2,000 in her career, with 1,294 of those minutes coming in 2012. Tock has a 2.14 goals against average and a .754 save percentage in her career.
"Our team starts with Megan Tock," Wendling said. "She's the key to our defense and she has to make the saves that she's capable of making. She's very athletic and very quick. I think she's one of the best goaltenders in our conference when she's playing at her best."
Brigid St. Leger and Kailee DeFranks return to back Tock up, as well as freshman Allison Maynard.
Canisius opens its season Friday at Cleveland State at 7 p.m.

Not exactly sure why, but Independence Day kicks my hot dog craving into overdrive. Maybe it's that these tube steaks are just so doggone American. (Even though, they originally came from Germany, like most sausages worth eating.)
In anticipation of the Fourth, I took a quick survey on Facebook and Twitter, asking for input on Seattle's best hog dog spots and guess what came out on top? Costco. Even Restaurant Marche's chef Greg Atkinson says so. It's sure hard to beat the price, right?
Well, my favorite – Dante's roving carts – also showed up on the Top 5:
1. Costco, where $1.50 still buys you a dog and a drink. Bonus points for decent DIY condiments.
2. Grab a Seattle dog, slathered in cream cheese, at Dante's. Sure do get a kick out of watching those sandwich artists at work.
3. Po Dog, with locations on Capitol Hill and in the U-District.
4. (tie) Matt's on Marginal Way and the Mariner Dog at Safeco Field. (Though tons of fans fuel up at the cheap-o carts outside the ballpark.)
5. DIY! Go grab some wieners at Bavarian Meats or Rain Shadow or Uli's. For the vegetarians in your crew take the fantastic Field Roast Frankfurters down to the grills around Lake Union for the Family Fourth and get fired up before the fireworks.
Would love for readers to weigh in with their picks!

In both positions he conducted basic research on brain ultrastructure and directed integrated neuroscience teaching programs.
In 1985, Dr. Phelps joined the staff of NIA as Executive Secretary to the Aging Review Committee where he coordinated the review of research grant applications related to the neurobiology of aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). In 1987, he transferred to the Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging Program at the NIA where he was Program Director in charge of neurobiology and neuroplasticity. Dr. Phelps moved to the national office of the Alzheimer's Association in Chicago in 1989 as Vice President for Medical and Scientific Affairs, and became Senior Vice President in 1991. In that position he directed the research grant program, implemented the Zenith Awards, supervised the development of the Benjamin Green-field National Alzheimer's Library, served as a spokesperson for AD research, and helped to set the scientific policies of the Association.
In 1992 Dr. Phelps returned to the NIA where as Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Centers Program in the Division of Neuroscience he develops policy, oversees the funding, and monitors the progress of a national network of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers located at 27 major U.S. Medical Schools. He is also the Program Officer for the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center located in Seattle and the National Cell Repository for Alzheimer's disease in Indianapolis. He has helped to coordinate the development of major initiatives related to the genetics and genomics of late-onset Alzheimer's disease dedicated to identifying risk factor genes for AD. In addition he works closely with the Alzheimer's Association and the NINDS and advises other national organizations dedicated to research and care-giving for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Frontotemporal dementia, Vascular cognitive impairment, and Lewy body dementia. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal, Neurobiology of Aging. In recent years he has coordinated a project resulting in issuance by the NIA and the Alzheimer's Association of a set of revised guidelines for the clinical and pathological diagnosis of AD. He is a senior author on the series of published papers laying out the new guidelines.

Men can squirt like women! I discovered this a few years ago. I'm sure a lot of you are wondering how this is done.
How it works:
This is how it works. It's kind of like masturbating, but a bit different. The goal is to squirt, not to ejaculate. So this is what you do:
Step 1. Go in a private area.
Step 2. If you are uncircumcised, pull the foreskin all the way down with your left hand, and hold it there.
Step 3. Grab some hand lotion and apply it to your right hand and to the head of your penis.
Step 4. Place your right palm on the head of your penis.
Step 5. Masturbate like you normally would, but only work on the head of your penis.
Note: Do not stroke the lower part of the penis so you don't accidentally ejaculate like you normally would.
Step 6. Rapidly move your palm (while wrapped around penis head) up and down. Only do this to the head of the penis.
Step 7. Do all the fantasizing you want to help speed up the process.
Step 8. You will feel like you have to pee. This is ok, women have the same impulse. Keep going with it, and don't worry about the peeing feeling.
Step 9. And squirt! The feeling is awesome. You will squirt a clear liquid like a women's squirt. Read below on how it should feel.
Note: It is very important to only work the head of the penis. Don't work the shaft so you don't accidentally ejaculate the regular way.
How it feels:
1. While rubbing the head of the penis, it will simply feel good being the head is a sensitive area.
2. Once you get closer to squirting, you will feel like you have to pee. This feeling will increase more and more as you get closer to squirting. Don't worry about it, just keep stimulating the head of the penis.
3. Finally, when about the squirt, you will feel 2 things. You will feel like your peeing and an intense feeling of ecstasy. It will be a huge load that should contain little to no sperm. It should also be clear. This could get messy, so be careful where you squirt. But it will definitely be a huge load, and an intense feeling.
How does it taste?
Not really sure. It doesn't have a powerful taste or anything. It kind of tastes like the fluid that comes from a woman's vagina.
Hope this helps!
Ok all. As the writer of this blog, I haven't squirted in years. Why? Who knows. Maybe cause I had a girlfriend I guess. Well, I decided to try it to see if I remembered how to do it and it turns out I couldn't figure it out. So I waited a few weeks and tried again. I know the first time is the hardest and after that, you will learn how to squirt a lot faster. Here's how I just squirted after many years of not doing so.
1. Follow the general instructions above as a startup guide.
2. I put spit on my hand and kept re-lubing my hand as I glided it back and forth on my penis. I decided I would try that for a good 15 minutes but after 15 minutes, nothing happened.
3. I then remembered my first squirt. A girl I know was twisting the head of my penis while moving up and down on it. Also (and this is very important), she was putting some extra pressure on the head.
(When I first started waving my hand back and forth on the top head of the penis, the pressure was moderate. When I changed to up and down twists using the palm of my hand, I put more pressure on it so that I felt it more. It didn't hurt, but it did feel like more friction)
4. Use your hand to jerk the top of your penis while moving it in an up and down AND a twist motion. This way the head is getting both vertical and horizontal treatment.
5. I did find a damn good porno and visualized myself and the girl in the porno so that helped as well.
6. After the intense twist motion (maybe about 8-10 minutes of this), I started feeling like I was going to cum but it was somewhat different than the traditional cum feeling.
7. Finally the intensity of this feeling climaxed to a point where lots of liquid came out of my penis.
Note: I did not feel anything in my balls. Usually I feel something in my balls and my balls become smaller after ejaculating.
The liquid that poured out was a pretty heavy load and I did NOT have to pee at the time. I think if you have to pee, there may be more liquid.
And finally, the liquid was absolutely clear. It did have some white coloring to it but mostly it was clear.
Woot! I thought I had forgotten how to do this, but I picked it back up.
One Final Tip: Keep using all these techniques while you watch some kind of porn. Do it an hour at a time until you figure it out. If you get tired, try again the next day. Once you do figure it out, you will retain the memory on how you did it and so your next attempt will be much faster. Back in the day, I used to do this in 10 minutes or less so I will try it again to see what happens.
Good luck.

A passionate reader and writer since early on, I have always been interested in writing and language. Coming to St. Lawrence University as a freshman, I knew I wanted to major in English with a writing focus. I was greatly attracted to the London Abroad Program because of its diversity of classes and the allowance I would be granted to pursue my love of the written word and great works of literature in pieces on a different, global scale. While in London during the fall semester of 2007, I was able to study writing, plays, and art that are essential to the European culture and I developed a great love in this new diversity of culture I was suddenly immersed in. I became passionate about learning about the greater world around me, not just what I had been accustomed to as a member of a small liberal arts college in Upstate New York. Being abroad in a country I had never visited before was a very moving experience- suddenly I was captivated by pieces of writings, artwork, and overall culture that I had no prior interest in before but gave me a greater sense of knowledge in the world. I returned to Canton, NY in January 2008 with a more complete sense of self, a greater knowledge of the larger world, but more importantly- a desire to learn more about the European culture that seemed to have so much more to offer me. I immediately looked into adding the classes necessary to complete a European Studies minor and with those added classes, I began to build my knowledge on my new passion, not just London, but Europe as a whole.
One of the greatest parts of going to London was the direct immersion into the culture that came from living with a host family. With two older host brothers and a younger host sister, I was given the knowledge of what older and younger British students value. I was able to witness firsthand the heavy influence the arts have on the British, evident by my younger host sister's love of painting, ceramics, and drawing, and the large role music plays as evident by my host brothers. From my host parents, I learned what they value as important from family time, to politics, to education, and how their views differ from what I've been accustomed to as an American. Living with a British family allowed me to live their lifestyle for four months as opposed to living with Americans in a dorm and not experiencing the vast differences that I learned just in everyday conversations. It was truly eye-opening and captivating.

I have a soft spot in my heart for I.B. Horner. She was very helpful to me in my early investigations of the Dhamma. That said, this translation is not as good as could be for any number of reasons.xabir wrote:Hello,
Someone is using this translation to claim that the Buddha is teaching an Atman doctrine. Can anyone please tell me if this is an accurate translation and what might Buddha actually mean here:
atta is the word is question here. It is not "the self," but "oneself" in this context. No need for a metaphysical thingie here.that you should seek for a woman or that you should seek for the self ?
I have yet to see a Pali sutta where the Buddha speaks favorably of the atta in a metaphysical sense, but your meaning here is less than clear.lyndon taylor wrote:Atta is the pali word for the Sanskrit word Atman, the Buddha in various places obviously refers positively in some cases to the atta, SInce atta is translated several different ways in English, the no self crowd has simply claimed any positive refering to atta=atman has a different meaning than self, me I disagree.
Well, if he meant a metaphysical, self-existent, unchanging, self-identical self thingie, that would be of keen interest, given what he has said elsewhere:xabir wrote:What could Buddha mean when he said not to seek for women but seek for oneself, anyway?
"There are these two extremes that are not to be indulged in by one who has gone forth. Which two?

Avoiding both of these extremes, the middle way realized by the Tathagata — producing vision, producing knowledge — leads to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding.
Bhikkhus, these two extremes should not be followed by one who has gone forth into homelessness. What two? The pursuit of sensual happiness in sensual pleasures, which is low, vulgar, the way of worldlings, ignoble, unbeneficial; and the pursuit of self-mortification, which is painful, ignoble, unbeneficial. Without veering towards either of these extremes, the Tathagata has awakened to the middle way, which gives rise to vision, which gives rise to knowledge, which leads to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nibbana.

WestJet embraces tech tools to woo business travelers
By Susan Taylor
TORONTO (Reuters) - WestJet Airlines Ltd (WJA.TO: Quote) will use technological innovation, including a new reservation system, to help it transform from a no-frills carrier to a lower-cost full-service airline courting lucrative corporate travelers, its chief executive said on Monday.
Canada's second-biggest airline plans to launch a series of technology systems, most notably the new reservation system, which will sell three tiers of tickets, in the next two months.
"Companies evolve or they die," Chief Executive Gregg Saretsky told Reuters in a phone interview from the company's Calgary head office.
"We're 16 and going on 17 years old and we can't stay just as we were 17 years ago. The world has changed. And we are changing to be more relevant for a broader segment of guests."
The new Internet booking system, which WestJet hopes to launch in late January, will sell economy, mid-tier and premium tickets. That is a major shift from its current system, which sells only the lowest-priced ticket available.
Economy tickets under the new system will continue to sell the lowest available fare, but the cancellation fee for them will jump to C$75 ($75.48) from C$50. Mid-tier tickets will have a C$50 cancellation fee.
Premium tickets, unavailable until late March when WestJet finishes reconfiguring its 100 Boeing 737 planes to allow more leg room, will include priority screening and boarding, free cancellations and flexibility on ticket changes.
Pricing for those tickets, which may include free meals and drinks and an extra baggage allowance, has not yet been determined. Fares will be well below half the price for business class at WestJet's bigger competitor, Air Canada ACb.TO, Saretsky said. Continued...

A Lancaster police officer was assaulted Wednesday by a woman who was already in jail.
Several officers responded to the jail area of the Municipal Justice Center, located at 405 E. Arch St., a little before 3 p.m. about an inmate who had removed all of her clothing except for her bra, according to a police department incident report.
Due to extreme heat and increased fire activity in certain areas of South Carolina, the Forestry Commission is issuing a red flag fire alert for all counties in the state except Georgetown, Horry, and Marion. These three counties are hereby under a State Forester's burning ban.
A red flag fire alert means outdoor burning should be avoided.
A state forester's burning ban means outdoor burning is illegal.
A group of five people, several of them related, were charged this week in connection with a string of crimes spanning two counties over the last month.
After an investigation into several larcenies in the Heath Springs area, Lancaster County sheriff's deputies were led to a home this week at 2020 Hanging Rock Road, according to a sheriff's office press release. Investigators executed a search warrant at the home Monday and recovered several thousand dollars worth of stolen property inside.
Christopher Sardelli
The verdict was not guilty on all counts Wednesday for a Lancaster man accused in a drive-by shooting. A jury deliberated for a little less than two hours July 20 in the case of 27-year-old Travis Phillip Miller. Police had charged Miller in connection with the shooting of a 33-year-old man earlier this year.

HEATH SPRINGS – Heath Springs officials are looking to cyberspace as a way to make a little money.
On Tuesday, Town Council members discussed ideas about how to sell a town-owned patrol car – a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor.
That vehicle had been used by the sheriff's deputy, who covers the town. The current officer, Corey McIlwain, now drives a 2011 Crown Victoria.

KERSHAW – Late-night scenes at the town of Kershaw's recreation center haven't been pretty as of late.
Officials say in recent weeks, vandals have broken the glass on the front door of the center, written obscenities and thrown eggs at the building, turned over trash cans and tossed chairs and other items into the swimming pool.
Now Town Council wants to do something about it.
Reece Murphy
Two adults and an infant were hospitalized Wednesday morning after a single-car accident on J.B. Denton Road, south of Lancaster.
Injured in the accident were 20-year-old Lancaster residents Jena Marie Brown and Michael McCorkle, and a 3-month-old child whose identity was withheld by the S.C. Highway Patrol.
Highway Patrol Sgt. Bryan McDougald said the accident happened about 9:25 a.m. when Brown, driving her green 1998 Ford Escort toward Lancaster, drove off the right side of the road and struck a tree.
Christopher Sardelli
A deputy shot a Lancaster man with a stun gun last week, only moments after chasing the man through the Indian Land Walmart store and parking lot.
Employees with Walmart, 10048 Charlotte Highway, called the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office on July 15 after they said they saw a man walk out of the store without paying for a shopping cart full of alcohol.
A deputy arrived at the store a little before 4 p.m. and spoke with the store's asset protection coordinator.
Christopher Sardelli
It looks like Lancaster County will make some money on a trailer originally slated for demolition.
County officials had recently been debating what to do with a triple-wide trailer that housed the county's Probation, Parole and Pardon Services for the last 13 years. The aging trailer, located on S.C. 9 near the county's farmer's market and sheriff's office, had several structural problems and its tenants have moved to the new county courthouse.

KERSHAW – A family-owned business will be able to continue its operation in downtown Kershaw.
Kershaw Town Council approved final reading of an ordinance Monday to grant Kershaw Manufacturing a special zoning exception, allowing it to remain in its location at 112 N. Hampton St.
Kershaw Manufacturing, which has occupied the building less than a year, makes protective coverings and a wide variety of bags, including laundry and hanger bags. A mother and daughter run the business.

Website offers social media updates for the dead
Users can plan out messages to be posted after they die
CNN - A Minnesota man is offering a solution to a sensitive problem involving Social Media.
As we share so much of our personal lives online, what if that routine tweet or post about your pet, or your lunch, ends up being your final message?
A new site launched this week helps people leave thoughts that are more meaningful after their death.
An estimated 400 million tweets are sent every day. Facebook now has more than a billion active users, and Instagram adds five million photos a day.
"It's the way that we relate to people, the way that we learn about what they're doing in their lives." Dave Stewart has thought about that, and what a shame it would be, for something like this to be someone's final post. "Who knows how long this digital legacy you'll leave behind will be out there?"
Stewart this week launched Social Farewell, a site that lets you plan what you'd really like to say to friends and family, should you die unexpectedly.
Lynsey and Justin Aul are his business partners. "We're allowing people to have that comfort of, 'I know what my last post is going to be, it's there for my family. They're going to be able to grieve for me after I have passed."
At the outset, the site is charging four dollars and ninety five cents, for posts they would make on your behalf, to Facebook and Twitter. The twitter posts would have to be 140 characters or less.
"We use death indexes and other ways to track down legitimately whether you've passed or not." The posts wouldn't appear until the person's death has been confirmed. "I want to be able to tell my friends and family something else about my personal legacy and how I want them to remember me."
Depending on the client's personality, they expect a mix of philosophical, spiritual and even comical messages. "As we grow and as the unfortunate time comes where we do post for people, we'll see a big mix of things."
For those who aren't on Twitter or Facebook, this new site would also send final emails for you, and they hope to add more social network sites in the future.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have a spare th350, can I just take the center gear in the pump with the tangs and throw it my pump or should swap the whole pump, are gears a matched set?
|so I have pulled the tranny now looked in where the converter seats into the pump, the tangs are broken off the pump gear! I have driven the car for 2 years with this tranny, this th350 has 500 hundred miles and 10 passes at the track (10.5 sec - 11.5 sec). I thought if the pump wasn't being driven that the car would not move? most pump tangs are broken during install, but I couldn't have broken them during install and driven for 2 years or could I have? Before I pulled the tranny it only had reverse and drive but no low or secound. A couple of people have suggested that I broke the intermediate sprag as this tranny problem happened after my burnout. I have looked at sprag and it looks fine to me. I'll post a picture (this is a 36 element sprag if I'm correct).
One item, start the burn out in 2nd gear and shift to 3rd gear. DO not allow the tires to ''hook'' while in 2nd gear. That is very hard on the 2nd gear sprag.
Next item, the trans is stuck in 3rd gear from your description. I suggest you remove the pan and look for debris, check shift linkage ( although it sounds like it's OK).
There may be damage in the direct clutch drum or 2nd gear sprag that is also on the direct drum.
850 hp is beyond the power limit of a T-350 in my opinion. I hope your trans has billet input, 36 element sprag for 2nd gear
T-350 trans troubles
First off I'll say I googled this for hours but no one has the same problem. This is my setup th350 in 64 nova, tranny is by redneck racing they say it's good upp to 850hp, has hard drum sprag ect, manual valve body, trans brake. This was how my night went at the street legal drags first run 11.46 et on motor, next run 10.58 on nitrous. Both runs went perfect, but my next run I got on the transbrake and when it released the tranny seamed to just slide, got back to the pits and smelt the fluid, it smelt fine. I decided to drive it home and thats when I realized I only have drive(3rd gear) as my forward gear. I can put the car in first and drive on the freeway like I'm in drive, it labours from a stop but once I'm up to speed it pulls hard with no slipping. Reverse, park and nuetral work great, but no matter what forward gear I shift into its still in drive (I have manual valve body) shifting up or down makes no difference. My burnout proceed is as follows line lock on and 3 secounds of burnout at 5000 rpm in secound (starting burnout in secound, manual valvebody)then release line lock, keeping on gas untill it hooks. The burnout on the run that went bad seemed fine but wondering if something broke when it hooked. The tranny makes no noise and drove home just fine except I was in drive all the which is 99% freeway driving. Any help would be appreciated as my tranny knowledge is vey limited.

And a brush? Why, is your hair messy?If you want the bees off a comb, give it a hard shake. Or you can hold it by one end, and give it a good thump or two on the landing board.A bee brush is really good at making bees really irritable. If you do use a bee brush, DON'T brush with it. That just rolls the bees and makes them mad. Use the brush to flick the bees off the comb with small flicks.
Send me a PM;I'm a mile north of Rolla.
If you have access to goose or turkey feathers three or four tied together makes for a great bee brush and doesn't piss them off nearly as much! A handful of long green grass works ok too.Scott

Only too true, Barky is just a slick little hustler!
The Constitutional President
Recently an aide approached the President and said: Sir, I was just reading the Constitution and....
Consternation? Whats that? interrupted the President.
Constitution. Its the contract between the people and their government.
Oh! You mean the Republicans one-time Contract on America? Ha! Ha! That didnt amount to anything!
Oh, no, sir! I mean the 200 year old contract established by the Founding Fathers!
Never heard of it!
Didnt you study it at school?
I dont remember nothing about it.
You swore to uphold and protect it.
When you took the Presidential Oath of Office.
Oh, that! I remember that they had me repeat some mumbo-jumbo. It didnt mean anything. Just a hollow ritual that all Presidents take part in. But, I sure dont recall nothin about no constellation.
Constitution! It protects the peoples freedom. It spells out their Rights and the Governments limitations. It tells us how to run the country.
I know how to run America! Im the President and I can do anything I want! Whats good for me is good for everybody! All I have to do to make law is write an Executive Order! I tell people what their Rights are! I can give Rights and I can take them away! IM THE BOSS! And, I dont need no constipation to tell me what to do!
Please, sir, its the Constitution!
Boy, people are always harassing me! I wonder what theyll think up next?
Only too true, Barky is just a slick little hustler!

If your all about power, grab a Nexus 7 by Google. You get a stock Android Experience and Jelly Bean (Android's latest revision). You gotta love that Tegra 3.
This tablet however, is very solid if your not about running benchmarks. lots of internal storage, and the Playstation store set it apart from other tablets. Android was meant to be open, so there are many things in the play store, such as home replacement apps, that will help customize your experience should the Sony skin not appeal to you. Cradles for tablets on any site but Woot are crazy expensive too btw.
impaul4 wrote:Ok, now I have to have it. It can connect to the Playstation Store & to a PS3 controller as well. A portable PS3, um, yes please!
If only I didn't already have another tablet on order. Woot why you no swap places with the Dyson!
I don't think you can play PS3 games on it. I think it's only PSP and PS (the original) games.
bruman3 wrote:Du I need to pay for WiFi thru a carrier? need help with this. Thanks
Long story short, yes you will have to pay something to get WiFi in your home.
Example: Cable company charges you for cable internet and possibly a rental fee for their modem (you can use your own if you like, but that will cost you up front money too). Your modem will then connect into your wireless router which broadcasts the WiFi signal (again, you may have to pay a rental fee for this item too or go buy your own). Most wireless routers will also hardwire into other devices as well.
For instance, a cable goes from my wall to my modem, which then cables into my router, three wires go from it into my desktop PC, XBox, and PS3 - however I have the wireless signal broadcasting as well so that my two smart phones, three Nooks, two laptops, and anyone else who brings a wireless device over can connect.
Total cost for all this convenience?
About $50 to Time Warner (grumble) for internet service and modem rental a month.
I bought my own modem on Ebay for about $20 (one time fee).
Everything else is just the electricity everything uses I know that was a bit lengthy, but hope it helps!
I have a lot of movies/tv shows on my computer. what video format do they have to be in to play on this tablet?
I've owned this Tablet since the day it was released and I'm absolutely blown away at the price. This is a great tablet and worth the asking price here, you will not be disappointed.
MilkD wrote:I have a lot of movies/tv shows on my computer. what video format do they have to be in to play on this tablet?
I use the Mobo Video player on my Android phone, if you're able to download that app to this - it will play anything.
Using some 3rd party apps you should be fine with whatever they're currently in. Mp4/MKV for me worked just fine.

1Saleaday had it for $299.99 plus $4.99 for s/h. However, it was for the 16gb model and it did not come with the cradle.

Buy it then. Just installed the Netflix app to test, and am happily streaming Lilyhammer right now...
Have this tablet and every other A and B brand tablet at work, and this one is one of my favorites. Not everybody at work likes it (while we were developing our Android app), but it is a great device for consuming media in my (pretty intensive) experience.
If I hadn't just bought a Nexus 7 (and already have a Kindle Fire, and a Motorola Xoom, don't ask...), at this price with 32GB it's a *great* value.
I bought one (16g version) about seven months ago. Great tablet and was able to upgrade to ICS (Android 4), however it started acting up and last week would not boot. Had to send it to Sony for repair under warranty. After researching the problem found that many are having issues. Currently waiting for back-ordered part before they can send it back to me.
It has been a great tab and has awesome features like programmable IR remote, SD card support up to 32gig, USB input (for external hard drives, thumb drives, etc.)
I would recommend, but with caution that you may need to send it to Sony for repair later. I paid $399 and another $59 for the dock.
You should know that they just leaked info on the new successor to this tablet. It will inherit the XPERIA name from sony's phone line, slimmer, better battery, ICS / JELLYBean
Done deal... I cannot wait to get this thing I am super excited, first tablet experience other than my EVO phone and Nook color...
Woot, when you ship this to Texas will you also supply a portable air conditioner inside the box? It's hot here and I don't want it to melt
Even though Sony was very late to releasing this 1st Android tablet computer last year in the 3rd Qtr. of 2011, they did a much better job than other newbie tablet manufacturers in entering the Tablet PC market & in trying to catch up to the other tablet market leaders.
It seems this Sony S Tablet has most common features, except it's missing a video output like not having an HDMI connection to show videos on larger screen HDTV's from what I've read in reviews that appear to be mostly positive. Reviews mentioned this tablet uses power faster, lasting more like 5-hours instead of the 8-hours in the specs.
Photos & charts & presentation slides of the next 2012 Sony Xperia Tablet Model SGPT1211 were leaked 3 weeks ago & planned for release next month Sept. 2012. See web link below for more:

I am a apple person and love my ipad. However, my 5yr old likes nick jr. games and he can't play them on there because you can't download flash on the ipad. So does this tablet have flash? That is all I need to confirm before the kids are off my ipad and onto this lovely sony tablet.

Just thought I'd save others the time (or maybe have someone concretely prove me wrong), but don't buy it for the PSN & PSP possibilities. From spending 2+ hours searching Google and Amazon reviews for a definitive answer on the topic, it seems that there are basically NO real games to speak of - like maybe 10 or so, and they're not ones you'd want to play. People are commenting repeatedly in their reviews about how "more games might be added", and it hasn't happened.
Here's a news article from this year's E3 in June 2012 that says "The initial run of PlayStation Certified games differed little from other mobile app stores, and disappointingly didn't include actual PlayStation games. While Sony insists that was never the intent, it was confusing for consumers looking to get classic PlayStation games"
I was super bummed to be led to believe I could play well-known PSP and PSOne games on this tablet... just isn't true.
Sony Xperia Tablet leaks: a Surface-style Android tablet
July 31, 2012
The slides reveal a thinner, lighter, and more powerful tablet that refines the Tablet S' folded-magazine aesthetic. The new device will apparently be branded simply as the 'Xperia Sony Tablet.' It'll arrive with a number of improvements over its predecessor, including a Tegra 3 processor; Android 4.0 "or later;" 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of internal storage; 3G connectivity; and a larger 6000mAh battery good for 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing. Sony says the Xperia tablet's 8.8mm-thick splash-proof aluminum shell is 42 percent thinner than the Tablet S'.
Also of interest is a keyboard cover which will undoubtably remind many of the keyboard revealed with Microsoft's Surface tablet. Sony's vision for the accessory is a little different, however — it seems to wrap around the entire tablet, and folds at the back to negate the need for a kickstand.
Android 4.0 "or later"

"The entertainment-oriented tablet also offers a bunch of connectivity options and accessories. HDMI output, Bluetooth 3.0, SD card, and even 3G connectivity are part of the package."

Oh snap, SonyGuy? Tell us the TRUTH!!
Anyone have experience with the "unlimited" music/movies? More interested in the movies. Are they really free? Do I just download them to this tablet or are they streaming? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on this guy.
ewascent wrote:Any idea if Windows 8 installs on this?
I don't believe so. Windows and Android are two different OS. If you are tech savy enough, you might be able to root your tablet, then search for Windows OS rom to install it. Sony is known for being very guarded about keeping their products locked up. I'm not sure if anyone has found a way to unlock the bootloader yet.
However Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available if you want to upgrade your OS from Honeycomb. (aka Android 3.0)

lol isn't woot in Dallas or something? I'm in San Antonio and some days my mailbox actually gets so hot, I almost wish I could go pick up my items instead of trusting the postal service.
I'm sure gas from here to there would cost much more than the $5 shipping though :P
Woot did a good job beating Target's nice sales price on these that expired or ended yesterday.
The deals, with free shipping:

Sony Tablet S 9.4" 32GB Google Android Tablet for $350
This is *very* well priced and you can't get any more features for this price, been looking for a decent tablet for the wife so I pulled the trigger (hopefully she doesn't read this it's a surprise).
I wonder what Android apps come free & preloaded on the Sony S Tablet???

Great deal! I was totally on board until I watched that video and read some reviews saying the screen isn't bright enough for direct sunlight! The Playstation Store option drew me in, but my main motivation for getting a tablet is outdoor use, so I'll have to pass.
For that price, it's really not a bad tablet at all.
I have one with similar specs and I love it.

NEW Sony Tablet S Leaked (SGPT1211, Aluminum-Magnesium Finish, 16GB, 32GB & More)
Published on Jul 11, 2012 by playinfinite
Sony is working on a next-generation tablet S device; made of AL5052, an aluminum-magnesium alloy, and have a sandblasted, anodized, and laser-printed finish. Judging by some documents that have recently passed through the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the United States. Very little is given away, but the label info has been published which clearly shows that this is a "Tablet Device" and will carry model number SGPT1211.
Whether this is the successor to the Sony Tablet S Android slate remains to be seen, although we would be very surprised if Sony didn't have a next-gen tablet on the table. Who knows, Sony may even be working on a Windows tablet? We'll bring you more information as we have it.

Say green design, and what comes to mind are geothermal heat pumps, tankless hot water heaters, and roofs that plug into the sun. The most recognizable green features are also the priciest, and sustainable design is still viewed as an upgrade that only the well-off can afford. While there's some truth in that perception, the reality is changing as low-income housing developers join the party. They're on a mission to find high-performing, low-cost solutions, since green design can make a big difference in the lives of the poor. Families who are struggling financially have a greater need for clean air and low utility bills, and reducing a building's maintenance and energy loads benefits nonprofit landlords long-term.
If high-end green products have made the environmental movement cool, designers of housing priced below market rate are making it practical—not only for low-income folks but for the middle market too. As recipients of grants and subsidies, their clients are charged with tracking energy performance and return on investment—data that's crucial to architects entrusted with modest budgets of any project type. So while elite early adopters play an important role in advancing green ideas, so does design at the other end of the spectrum. Architects of affordable housing are helping to put the emphasis where it ultimately belongs, making eco-conscious gestures less of a status symbol and more accessible for everyone.
There are financial hurdles, to be sure. But for some architects, the new green consciousness has simply made it easier to perform high-quality work for a niche population that needs extra care. Paul Freitag, LEED AP, development studio director for Jonathan Rose Companies in New York City, says that a year and a half ago, the nearly 20-year-old for-profit development company decided it no longer had to explain what sustainable design is, because people know. "For developers striving to do high-quality affordable housing, the shift to making sure it's also green isn't that dramatic," he says. Tight building envelopes and high-efficiency mechanical systems are nonnegotiable in its projects. So are nontoxic materials, since the company serves a population burdened by health issues such as asthma and AIDS. "Before green was codified, our ideas were the same," Freitag says. "It just hadn't been attached to a rating system."
Freitag figures that the green cost differential of his projects is no more than 2 percent when compared to other quality work, and over the years he's seen those higher first costs pay off. That's because his company's clients are as concerned about a project's long-term operation as they are about solving the problems of getting it built. "Right up front, you want to make sure you spec the right systems and have them installed and running properly," Freitag says. "Later on there might not be the sophistication you have in market-rate housing to tweak those systems. This is your chance to get it right, because the project struggles with a very tight operating budget."
Jonathan Rose Companies often works with Columbia, Md.-based Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), whose Green Communities arm dispenses advice and funding to low-income housing developers. Recognizing a market gap in green guidelines that address affordable housing's unique challenges, Green Communities worked with groups such as the AIA, the U.S. Green Building Council, the EPA, and the National Center for Healthy Housing to establish a nationally applied point system for low-income housing. "The initial questions to grapple with are not so much about throwing some green bling onto the next project to get a plaque," says Dana Bourland, senior director of the Green Communities Initiative at ECP, which awards $1.2 million in grants annually. "Rather, it's asking what benefits of green building we can apply to this project to make it more affordable in the long run and to positively benefit the environment. It's the starting point for an integrated design approach."
By that she means putting together a robust design team that ideally includes the owner, project manager, engineer, construction manager, building operations team, residents, and financing institutions. To tout the importance of collaborative first steps, ECP awards points for green charrettes. "Everyone needs to understand that this building is being designed to perform better and implement the best of what can be applied," Bourland says. "Set the tone that this building will be done differently—it will cost more and may need special attention to get the best performance."
Part of the beauty of green development is in how the specs play off of each other, and the team experts can help finesse these trade-offs. For example, a more efficient HVAC unit might free up space for an extra closet or room. Spend a bit more to capture stormwater, and the owner will save on fees to the city. Having everyone involved creates synergy, and the opportunity to save leads to better design. In the last three years, Bourland says, this team approach is what has distinguished green from conventional design. "You can slap [photovoltaics] on and make it work, but the building won't necessarily perform better or be healthier or reduce construction waste," she says. "It won't be green in the sense of being more sustainable overall; it will just have this cool technology."
a bottom-up approach The goal is to hit the sweet spot of environmental health and economic return. And what that amounts to is helping nonprofits work through a set of complex decisions having to do with costs, benefits, strategy, and available funding, based on the project type and what they are trying to accomplish. California, for example, offers a big incentive for energy efficiency. To qualify for funding programs for affordable housing, developers have to beat Title 24 Energy Code regulations by 15 percent. "The tax credit funding often pays for 50 percent to 60 percent of the total building cost, so it pays for much more than the additional cost of energy upgrades," says Peter Waller, AIA, a principal at Pyatok Architects in Oakland, Calif. The firm is designing a project with structural insulated panels for a Fresno, Calif., housing authority. Springing for SIPs instead of stick framing will get them to the energy threshold needed to compete for funding.
Architects are constantly playing costs against value to get a sense of what works and what doesn't. While there are no tax credits for clean indoor air, items such as low-VOC paints and adhesives and formaldehyde-free carpeting require a relatively small investment. By contrast, FSC-certified framing lumber and sophisticated materials with a lot of recycled content do not have a direct cost benefit for the residents, Waller says. Neither do PV panels, with their 15-year to 20-year payback, or green roofs, which require more intense maintenance.
But nonprofits are very good at building densely, which puts them ahead in the green game. They often build on infill sites close to transit and shopping, thus reducing the need for cars and parking and allowing for more living units or open space on a site. "There's a huge amount of efficiency just in the programming of these affordable projects, before you start talking about energy efficiency," Waller says. He's seen several nonprofit developers in California designate a couple of parking spaces for a car-share program operated by an outside company, in lieu of 10 regular spots.

In an interesting shift, al-Qaeda's number two man, Ayman al-Zawahri, has offered to respond to any and all questions submitted to him by January 16th. In an apparent bid to raise his prestige and come across as a leader who is willing to engage in dialogue, the al-Qaeda leader promised to let people post questions and he would respond. The offer was issued by the group's media arm, Al Sahab, an islamic web site which invited, "individuals, agencies, and all media" to submit written questions by sending them to web forums ordinarily used by Al Sahab. Respondents were promised that questions would be forwarded from the forums to al-Zawahri "with no changes or substitutions, no matter whether they agree or disagree" with the question. The open invitation most probably would allow any person to submit a question.
This is definitely a media ploy to attract attention and provide al-Zawahri an international forum in which to present his ideas to those who ordinarily don't read his pronouncements. The offer also makes him come across as a dominant force in al-Qaeda. Wouldn't it be interesting if leaders from other nations responded to the responses of al-Zawahri with their own comments? This would create a modern version of dueling banjos.

People say timing is everything, but Stanley Harris doesn't buy it. He doesn't wait for the stars to align, for a sign or the perfect moment to make the next move.
Despite lingering concerns about the economic recovery, Harris recently ambitiously launched Mint Ventures LLC, an import/export and real estate business. He earned a master's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in international business from the University of St. Thomas Cameron School of Business in May.
"There are a lot of ups and downs, but it took the confidence of earning a University of St. Thomas MBA to convince me that now is the time," Harris said. "There is no perfect situation, no perfect moment to do anything. Although people think it is crazy to start a business during the worst economic time since the Great Depression, I felt there is no better time, no better moment than now."
Harris said his goal to someday earn an MBA and own his own business was originally inspired by watching his mother, Jennifer Lenora Cauley, put herself through undergraduate and graduate school.
"My mother was the first person in her family to get a college degree," Harris said. "She set the bar high; It's all about changing your family tree. You can change your family dynamic with education. I'm the first male in family to graduate from college, and the first male to get an MBA. When I have kids, they will know they have to meet or exceed what has been done before them."
Determined to fund his college education, Harris departed for Marine Corp Reserves boot camp before his high school graduation from Cypress Springs High School. Two weeks after he completed boot camp, the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001 set a new course for his future.
A six- year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corp Reserves, Harris served in Iraq (Operation Iraq Freedom) and participated in the historical Iraq Vote of 2005. His contributions to our country have been recognized by the government and Harris has received service medals for the Global War on Terrorism, Iraq Campaign, and National Defense. After returning from service, he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration-Finance from Prairie View A&M University.
A friend from the Marines, Gilbert Trevino, alerted Harris to a job opening in accounting at Arch-Con Corporation. Michael Scheurich, a 1999 UST alumnus and president of Arch-Con Corporation, took Harris under his wing. As Harris contemplated his options for local MBA programs, Scheurich suggested he explore UST.
"There is a strong network of alumni at the Cameron School of Business, and they project a lot of pride about the school in the community. One of the main reasons why I came here was because of Michael's recommendation.
"Michael is a very dynamic, motivational, charismatic leader. He was a very great mentor, we still continue to have a good friendship even though I am pursuing my own dreams," Stanley said. "When I first started working at Arch-Con, I was 22, and Michael taught me the business culture, business development and marketing. My success is attributed not only to UST, but to Michael's leadership."
While on a UST MBA study trip to Prague, Harris' lifelong dream of owning his own business suddenly became vividly clear. The study abroad experience planted the seed for Mint Ventures.
"When I was in Prague, we met with several international companies and many interesting people, I concluded that I wanted to start my own international business," Harris said. "Because of the way the economy is structured, I want to tailor my business to meet the needs of the global consumer."
In addition to the influential study abroad program, Stanley commended Cameron's School of Business emerging focus on entrepreneurship.
"Entrepreneurship is important, Universities often push students to get involved in the corporate culture, but for many others, owning one's own business is a better fit," Harris said. "UST recognized the wisdom in implementing programs that foster and develop future entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurial spirit of the people is what makes this nation great."
Looking back at the obstacles he overcame to achieve his current success, Harris said he wouldn't change a thing.
"They never said it was going to be easy – working two jobs, joining the military to pay my way through undergraduate school, working full time while pursuing my MBA and starting my own business – it's all been about building character. All of my experiences have prepared me for what lies ahead, which is taking on the monumental, audacious task of making the business I have started – great!"

Got up north to hunt the opener this past weekend. It was my first hunt in over 10 years. Let me tell you...the fever is BACK!!!
Saturday was a great hunt for our group of three. Sunday we should have stayed in bed!!!
We hunted the mouth/marsh of the Whitefish River on Little Bay de Noc. Both days.
Saturday the birds were moving. We ended up with 2 Geese, 3 Wood Ducks, 5 BW Teal, and one Wigieon. The wind was out of the north/north west and had the birds moving a bit. Once the sun came out from behind the clouds at 9:30 or so, the shut down!
Sunday we only ended up with one Wood Duck. Missed on 2 Mallards.
We need a bit of cold weather! Can't wait to get back up there on the 8th!
Good Luck to all!

Virtual spaces
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  virtual_environments community 1,722 Views
The amount of work going into building social collaboration has taken off in a new direction in the past few years. In particular, the interest is in creating "spaces" for users on the Web.
It's good to see the original work that started from BBS and text-based MUSHes/MUDs/MOOs/etc. has led to a new presentation online. Just take a look at the new generation:
I actually feel a little vindicated now of having tossed a few years of my life back in the late 1980s and early 1990s into playing and programming MUDs.
It seems like now, a decade or more later, the rest of the world is starting to catch on that the Web will need to allow people to show themselves; be an actual identity, rather than a collection of user accounts, preferences, and bookmarks.
These spaces are starting to permeate more specific areas; e.g., MySpace is catching on with bands and musicians, LinkedIn is already a space for business contacts, TheFaceBook caters to the college environment, etc.
Out of this it seems like Software Developers are still kind of stuck in team programming land. While we have a shared team space, most of this is just data about the current project we are working on. Once a project is over, the people behind the project essentially "disappear" into a pool of anonymous resources, only to be invoked again when the next project comes up.
I'm talking about conventional team development environments: CVS, Lotus teamrooms, Hyades, etc. They definitely are very useful for collecting files, tracking progress, controlling access, tracking bugs, and marking activity down.
But where is the human in all of this? Are we really just a set of resources designated by HR and your Project Manager? Are our main job activity the only skills we really have?
Is the sum of us just a cog in the wheel in the grand complication of our company's part in the overall machine of industry?
This is not about socializing, or wanting to be more. There are quite valid business reasons for wanting to promote your identity, calling attention to it, and organizing the information around the many human factors that surround you.
