In its proxy statement, Cracker Barrel claims to have strict procedures and standards and to have engaged in "significant efforts" to identify qualified candidates for director. Echoing its Corporate Governance Guidelines, Cracker Barrel states in its proxy statement:
"The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses a candidate's independence, background and experience.... The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends appropriate candidates with the goal that the Board of Directors be comprised of qualified individuals.... Individual directors and any person nominated to serve as a director should possess the highest moral integrity and should generally have had significant managerial experience in the form of being a current or former senior executive of a publicly traded or privately held company or similar business experience or training."We certainly understand why the Board, in the midst of a proxy contest, would be interested in highlighting an accomplishment of a director, especially an incoming Chairman, who would have led a NYSE-listed company in the capacity of CEO. Initially we had no reason to doubt the Board or Mr. Bradford. We assumed that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would have conducted a thorough background check on the incoming Chairman. It is certainly the obligation of the full Board, including that of Ms. Cochran, to be fully versed about Mr. Bradford's professional accomplishments. Assuming Mr. Bradford was required to complete Cracker Barrel's 22-page, 33-question director-and-officer questionnaire that Phil Cooley and I were required to submit in connection with our nomination to the Board, we believe that, at the very least, his responses to questions 3 and 33 should have shed light on his experience at the public company. ( Enclosed with this letter is Cracker Barrel's questionnaire, which is especially voluminous.) Should our concerns about the accuracy of Mr. Bradford's experience prove correct, then shareholders should seriously question the level of diligence and oversight exercised by Cracker Barrel's Board of Directors in the vitally important vetting process for identifying qualified directors, including the one director possessing the essential character and experience to serve as Chairman of the Board.

Operators: Howto
I have a set of commuting operators that I want
to implement in a package. They should work like
the Derivative[n1,n2,..][f][x1,x2,..] function.
The Mathematica documentation is rather sparse here,
and I found no installed package where I could peep
and learn.
Can anyone advise where to find a nice example that

Everyone should eat at least two servings of fruit per day, including diabetics, as fruit provides you with fiber and a number of essential vitamins and minerals without containing a lot of calories. Choosing fruits that are low on the glycemic index instead of those that have medium or high glycemic index ratings will help you minimize or avoid spikes in blood sugar.
High-GI Fruits
Fruits that have a glycemic index of 70 or higher are considered high on the glycemic index. These include dried dates, with a GI of 103 per 60-gram serving, or about 2 1/2 dates; watermelon, with a GI of 72 per 120-gram serving, which is slightly more than 3/4 cup; and lychee canned in syrup, with a GI of 70 per 120-gram serving, which is about 1/2 cup.
Medium-GI Fruits
Medium GI fruits are those with a GI between 56 and 69. These include raisins, with a GI of 64 for a 60-gram serving, which is slightly less than half a cup; dried figs, with a GI of 61 per 60-gram serving, which is about 7 figs; pineapple, with a GI of 59 for a 120-gram serving, or about 3/4 cup; papaya, with a GI of 59 for a 120-gram serving, which is a little more than 3/4 cup; and raw apricots, with a GI of 57 per 120-gram serving, or about 3 1/2 apricots.
Limiting Effect on Blood Glucose
The GI values are measured using standardized portion sizes that may be larger than those recommended by the American Diabetes Association, which recommends fruit servings that contain no more than 15 grams of carbohydrate. Dried fruits and fruits canned in syrup tend to be higher in carbs than fresh fruits, so while the servings for the fresh fruits used to calculate the glycemic index are suitable for diabetics, those for dried and canned fruits are larger than recommended. Eating a smaller serving of 1 date, 3 figs, 50 raisins or 1/4 cup of canned lychees would have a lesser effect on your blood sugar levels. Eating fruit as part of your meal also lessens its impact on your blood sugar, especially if the other foods in your meal are low on the glycemic index.
Better Options
Most fruits have low-GI values. Per 120-gram serving, cherries have a GI of 22, grapefruit has a GI of 25, pear and apple have a GI of 38 and plums have a GI of 39. These fruits are unlikely to cause spikes in your blood sugar levels unless you consume multiple servings in a sitting.

Relay Matrix Switch, 4 x 64
Manufacturer's part number :
Description :
The Keysight Technologies E1466A Relay Matrix Switch is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. This 4 x 64 matrix switches each crosspoint – both high and low. The E1466A module provides the best cost-per-crosspoint for large matrix applications. It features easy expansion to larger matrixes via a chaining cable that allows you to interconnect rows and columns on different modules. A full 13-slot VXI mainframe can have up to 3072 two-wire crosspoints.
The E1466A shares the same switch card with the E1465A and E1467A; each product's unique terminal block determines the matrix configuration. Therefore, you can change matrix topology simply by plugging in the various terminal blocks, which can be obtained separately. Creating a matrix as large as 4 x 256 requires four matrix modules and interconnected rows and columns on the terminal blocks. All of the E1465/66/67A matrix modules offer similar densities, with different row/column sizes and identical performance specifications. All specifications are identical for this family, except for crosstalk.

P0011, Vanos?
Hello Everyone,
I have a 2001 BMW 740il and I have an intermittent check engine light. My OBDII reader is reading: P0011 - advanced timing (bank 1). The light will come on and turn off all by itself. The car just passed California Smog check even though the light keeps turning on and off (light was off during time of test).
I have already replaced both camshaft position sensors and the light continues to turn on and off. The car does not feel like it has any loss of power what so ever.
The only thing the car has is the dreaded diesel sound (not the timing chain guides sound).
any thoughts? what could this be? You would think the car wouldnt pass SMOG if the timing was off.
Please help!
Most of the time, a P0011 indicates a timing chain (guide) problem.
Others have said its' been caused by a CPS problem, but most admit it's a timing chaing guide issue.
If it were my car, I'd drop the oil pan & look for broken bits of the timing chain guide.
Hate to bring bad news, and I do hope this isn't the cause of your P0011, but.......chances are......at least you'll know.
Just a thought, but could it be a vanos solenoid?

Driveway issues
Not sure if I'm in the right topic area but here goes. Our house is a raised ranch with the south end totally above ground. That is were the garage and entrance door to the laundry room is. The driveway slopes down to this area and also the laundry drains out in front of the garage too. There is a drain there but it isn't draining properly and we've had water pool in front of the garage during rain and also when I do laundry, and during heavy rain water goes into the garage and laundryroom. We have a very wide driveway. We are the last house on a dead end street but do have neighbors living behind us and we share part of our driveway so they have access to their driveway from the street. At the end of the driveway directly across from the garage it slopes down into a valley, lots of trees on the side of the hill down to a clearing which is owned by the people that live behind us. (hope that makes sense) So my question is what kind of drainage system to we use to keep the water away from the house and is this something that could be done by a do it yourselfer? Or should we hire a pro?
I did some searches and found some info on French Drains. Could this be a possible solution? We have a lot of clay in our soil here so not sure if that would work. Any help or suggestions would be great!
I could post some pictures if I can figure out how if that would help.
Pics always help for sure. If a drain already exists, what is the current problem/status of that drain. Is the drive leading into the garage and walk-in door concrete, pavers, mud, etc.
It's pretty simple said, but you make a place for the water to be caught and then leveled in such a way that it runs toward the direction you want in either a pipe or by using other drainage products. Run it to wherever you would like.
The driveway is gravel but not much of that left so mostly dirt/clay showing.(we plan to get gravel but want to wait until we fix the drain) Not sure the current problem with the drain just that it's not draining. We're were told by the past owner that when the people behind us put in their driveway they broke the drain pipe from our drain.
The laundry also drains there but wasn't draining for a while so I couldn't do laundry, now it seems to be draining but not out in front of the garage like it used to so I don't know where it's draining to now.:(
well, that's simple enough.... it's draining into the sinkhole it created under the inconsiderate neighbor's driveway!
this will be most evident when his car falls into it.......
Ok so the hubby and I did some digging this morning in the driveway. We followed the cement(I think it's cement) pipe about 50 feet until we came to where the 2 driveways meet up and there were no breaks or cracks so it must be somewhere in the neighbors driveway. So is there someway to repair the break without redoing the whole thing?
We have new neighbors behind us not the one that broke the pipe to begin with.
you might explain to them what may be going on and discuss what to do next?
I might just run me a new drain pipe. Put a corrugated black pipe with sediment sleeve in the area in front of the doors so the water that runs down to that area can at least seep into the corrugated pipe and then attach the corrugated to a non corrugated where the water does not stand. This will carry out the water to wherever you want.
not sure of course, but before you start draining your laundry water across the country side, you might want to check your local code. Not saying that is never done, but my thinking is the local health inspector will stop by to chat with you.

Despite not being picked to win in the ODAC Pre-season Poll for the first time since 2007, Hampden-Sydney stood atop the polls at the end of the regular season with an 8-2 overall record, 5-1 ODAC mark, and the school's seventh ODAC Championship—the third in five years. The Tigers also received a bid to the NCAA Division III Football Championship for the third consecutive season.
After coaching the Tigers through an exciting season and to a third title, Head Coach Marty Favret was named the ODAC Coach of the Year. Favret was joined by 12 Tigers who earned All-ODAC recognition. Earning First-Team honors were senior receivers Kyle Vance (pictured at right) and Sean Cavanagh, senior center Ben Rogers, sophomore left tackle Will Ferrell, junior linebacker Kenny Fryman, and sophomore defensive backs Sean Stewart and Zach Morgan. Taking home Second Team nods were senior quarterback Travis Lane, senior running back Kirk Rohle and senior defensive end Mark Poydence.
The Tigers again had a potent offense as their 340.55 passing yards ranked second nationally while their 474.45 yards of total offense and 41.91 points-per-game were seventh. Carrying the passing load was senior quarterback Travis Lane. Lane recorded the second most passing yards in the country while leading the ODAC in nearly every statistical category. The Richmond native also threw for 32 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions.
Doing most of the receiving for Lane, was senior wide out Kyle Vance. Vance had one of the best seasons for a Hampden-Sydney receiver, breaking two records and placing in the top five of every other category for Tiger receivers. The senior ranked fourth in the nation in receptions-per-game (9.36, 103 overall) and fifth in yards-per-game (126.45, 1,391 overall). His 16 touchdown receptions are the most in school history in a single season.
On the ground, senior running back Kirk Rohle became just the third running back under Favret to rush for 1,000 yards. On the year, Rohle rushed for 1,023 yards and 18 touchdowns. Along with his three receiving touchdowns, his 11.45 points-per-game were eighth in the country.
The offensive onslaught started week one with a 63-9 win over Averett University and continued with wins over North Carolina Wesleyan (56-17) and Ferrum (38-14). In the North Carolina Wesleyan game, Lane was nearly flawless, going 28-of-32 for 389 yards and a record-tying seven touchdowns. After a 3-0 start, however, the Tigers hit a roadblock in Huntingdon College, falling 34-27.
Hampden-Sydney responded from the loss with three consecutive ODAC wins (Catholic—31-17, Bridgewater—28-14, Emory & Henry—38-36) heading into its bye week. The Tigers remained on the road and took a 63-49 win over Guilford after a week off.
With a 4-0 record in conference play, the table was set for an ODAC Championship rematch against defending champs Washington & Lee. The Tigers played the perfect half to start the game, taking a 21-0 lead into intermission. The Generals rallied in the second half, but Hampden-Sydney prevailed Champions on Fulton Field with a 42-35 win.
Though the Tigers fell to Randolph-Macon in the regular season finale, they still had a week left advancing to the Playoffs. The Tigers hit the road in the post season for the first time since 2007, and were not able to overcome Centre's early 20-0 lead falling 51-41.
The Tigers graduate 16 seniors who posted a career record of 35-5.

Memories of Burford
Long Wivets
As an eight year old boy I lived at Long Wivets, the third house in this photo. We lived there in 1955 and 1956. My father was Lt. Andrew Dill and he was stationed at Brize Norton. That was a very nice time of my life and I enjoyed Burford very much. If anyone remembers me or another member of my family (Andy, Joyce and Nancy, ...Read full memory

That's Right.
Red Orbit brings us news that the species said to be the most endangered whale, the Right Whale, has just gained federal habitat protection. The article reads,
"Thousands of square miles off Alaska have been designated as critical habitat for North Pacific right whales, considered the most endangered whale in the world. The federal rule published Thursday designates some 36,750 square miles in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska as critical habitat for right whales. The rule takes effect Aug. 7."
Protection such as this is predicted to as much as double the chances of the right whale's survival.
In other news from the Environmental News Network, the Pentagon has just exempted the United States military from environmental regulations of the Marine Mammal Protection Act established to protect marine mammals such as whales from sonar used during training and testing. The article reads,
"The exemption allows the Navy to conduct the 13 exercises it plans over the next six months without seeking permission for each under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The exemption is allowed under law, but it was the first time the Pentagon had used that authority. The Defense Department may renew the Navy's exemption for up to two years."
The exemption was in response to the still pending lawsuit brought against the Navy by the National Resource Defense Council. Oh and the Navy is also in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act according to the NRDC.

To be honest, I had thought that disgruntled or fired admins pose more of a threat, but it turns out that regular employees are enjoying digital crime just as much. The same report goes on to say that two-thirds of data breaches attributed to insiders were intentional.
If we add in users with nonmalicious intent, the percentage of insiders involved (wittingly or unwittingly) in a malicious attack is probably at least 80 percent. These days, most malicious attacks employ socially engineered Trojans, where someone is tricked into installing malware. If you include unknowing accomplices, insiders are directly responsible for every attack that succeeds in breaching outer defenses using spam or phishing.
According to the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report 8, almost 80 percent of the successful malware threats detected and cleaned in the last quarter of 2009 probably required some level of human complicity, such as installing Trojans, spyware, or downloaders. Computer viruses -- that is, self-replicating code -- even require human execution to initially launch. (I can exclude users from blame for successful attacks via exploit code and perhaps worms if they resulted from a lack of patching and so on.) The Microsoft report doesn't even discuss attacks that result from spam, spear phishing, intentional maliciousness, and misconfiguration mistakes.
Personally, I think I may have spent too much of my career focusing on external attacks. Rogue employees make the headlines from time to time, but not nearly as much as the external attacker. Maybe hacker or worm attacks are just too sensational sounding compared to a dishonest employee.
Now, I have a newfound respect for the significance of insider threats. If even the lowest figures are at 20 percent, it means we should have been focusing at least one-fifth of our career energies on defenses deployed to catch our coworkers and friends.
If you're interested in how to detect and prevent insider attacks, I'll be publishing a paper for on the subject soon, and I'll provide a link in my blog when it's available.

Preparing students for an uncertain world: the significance of Asian languages and studies in schools
Henderson, Deborah J. (2003) Preparing students for an uncertain world: the significance of Asian languages and studies in schools. The MLTA Quarterly, 130, pp. 4-5.
|PDF (23kB)
As we attempt to deal with future challenges and uncertainties, the significance of Australia's relationship with Asia - the region in which we are located - is of great importance. Yet, it could be argued that Australians know less about Asia than other parts of the world. This article argues that Principals can demonstrate their commitment to building 'bridges of knowledge, respect and empathy' (Cosgrove 2002) in two ways. First, they need to inform their school's broad community about the importance of knowledge and understanding about Asia and its languages for our future. Asia-literate Australians will be vital for our economic prosperity, cultural communication and strategic needs. Second, Principals need to exercise leadership in schools to ensure that the study of Asia and its languages is firmly established in the curriculum.

Costa Cruises
Costa Cruises offer a packaged cruise holiday experience great for families and first-time cruisers with a vibrant, European-style environment.
Best for
Families, Couples, Culture
Costa cruises are noted for their lively "Italian" ambiance. There are few Italian crew members, however, although many officers are Italian. Nevertheless, the lifestyle is perceived to be Italian – lively, very noisy, yet easygoing. The dress code is casual, even on formal nights.
Costa does a good job of providing first-time cruise passengers with a packaged holiday that is a mix of sophistication and basic fare, albeit accompanied by loud music. Most passengers are Italian, with a generous sprinkling of other Europeans. One night at the end of each cruise is reserved for a "Roman Bacchanal", when passengers dress up toga-style for dinner and beyond. This is a cruise line for those who like to party. If you want quiet, take earplugs – good ones.
On European and Mediterranean cruises, English will be the language least spoken, as most passengers will be Italian, Spanish, French and German. On Caribbean itineraries, a high percentage of passengers will speak Spanish, as the ships carry passengers from Latin American countries in addition to passengers from North America.
Expect to cruise with a lot of children of all ages if you book for peak holiday cruises – and remember that in Europe schoolchildren at certain times such as Easter have longer vacations. On some European itineraries, passengers embark and disembark in almost every port along the way, which makes for a disjointed cruise experience since there's almost no start or end to the cruise. There's very little information for passengers who want to be independent in ports of call and not take the ship's organised general excursions.
There is extensive smoking on board. No-smoking zones and signs are often ignored to the frustration of non-smoking passengers, and ashtrays are moved at whim; many of the officers and crew also smoke, even when moving through public rooms, so they don't bother to enforce the no-smoking zones.
The cabins tend to be on the mean side in size, but the decor is fresh and upbeat, and the bathrooms are very practical units. Some ships have cabin bathrooms with sliding doors – an excellent alternative to inward-openers that use up space.
Costa cruises: Ships
Costa Allegra, Cost Atlantica, Costa Classica, Costa Victoria
Older Ships: Costa Allegra, Costa Classica, Costa Marina, Costa Romantica, Costa Victoria have a distinctively European feel. They are lively without being brash, or pastel-toned without being boring, depending on the ship you choose.
Newer, larger ships such as Costa Atlantica have an "in-your-face" brashness similar to Carnival's ships, with grainy and unflattering digital artwork on walls and panels, and even inside lifts.
The "entertainment architecture," as designer Joe Farcus calls it, can't be ignored. There is an abundance of jazzy colours, fine or grotesque sculptures (depending on your taste) and huge murals that are both impressive and mind-numbing.
If you expect to be served by jovial Italian waiters, you'll be disappointed – although the restaurant managers might be Italian. All ships have two seatings for dinner; dining times on Europe/Mediterranean and South America cruises are usually later than those in the Caribbean because Europeans and Latin passengers eat much later than North Americans. Few tables for two are available, most being for four, six, or eight. All dining rooms are smoke-free – in theory.
The cuisine is best described as continental adequate, with many regional Italian dishes and much emphasis on pasta: 50 pasta dishes per cruise. Except for pasta dishes (made fresh on board) and cream sauces, presentation and food quality are not memorable, and are the subject of many negative comments from passengers. While the quality of meat is adequate, it is often disguised with gravies and rich sauces. Fish and seafood tend to lack taste, and are often overcooked. Green vegetables are hard to come by. Breads and bread rolls are usually good, but the desserts are of supermarket quality and lack taste.
There is a wine list but no wine waiters; table waiters are expected to serve both food and wine, which does not work well. Almost all wines are young – very young.
Alternative Dining
If you opt for one of the "alternative" restaurants aboard the larger ships, note that a cover charge applies: 20 euros per person plus 10 per cent service charge (Europe/Mediterranean cruises), or $20 per person plus 15 per cent service charge (Caribbean cruises).
Casual Eateries
All ships have self-serve lido buffets. In most, you have to move along with your tray, but the latest ships have more active stations and individual islands. The items available are quite basic. All ships also have a pizzeria.
The Coffee/Tea Factor
Regular coffee: Decent and quite strong. Score: 5 out of 10.
Espresso/cappuccino coffees (Lavazza) are among the best served by the major cruise lines: the main competition is from Celebrity Cruises' Café el Bacio; Star Cruises also serves Lavazza. All Costa ships have coffee machines in most lounges and bars. Score: 8 out of 10.
On Europe and Mediterranean cruises, 32 euros per seven-day cruise per person is charged to your onboard account, plus 10 per cent to all bar and wine orders. On Caribbean cruises, the figures are $53 per seven-day cruise per person and 15 per cent for bar and wine orders. Many non-Italians would prefer to choose when to tip and how much. To have these amounts adjusted, you need to visit the information desk.
Onboard currency
Euros on Europe and Mediterranean cruises, or US dollars on Caribbean cruises.
Each ship carries its own resident troupe of singers, dancers and audio-visual support staff, but Costa Cruises is not known for the quality of its entertainment. What it does present tends to be of the "no finesse" variety, with revue-style shows that have little story line, poor choreography and execution, but plenty of fast-moving action – more stepping in place than dancing – and lots of volume. It's entertainment to pass the time rather than remember.
Cabaret acts, such as singers, magicians, comedy jugglers, and ventriloquists, are entertaining but rather ho-hum. Most passenger participation activities include poolside games such as a "Belly Flop" competition, election of the "Ideal Couple," and other juvenile games – but some families love them. There are also dance classes, and the inevitable "Fine Art Auction".
Spa/Fitness Facilities
These vary according to ship and size. The newest and largest ships (Costa Atlantica) have more space and better facilities, while others such as Costa Allegra have only basic facilities.
Spa/fitness facilities are staffed and operated by Steiner Leisure, a specialist concession, whose young staff will try to sell you Steiner's own-brand beauty products. Some fitness classes are free, while some, such as yoga, and kick-boxing, cost $10 per class.
Being aboard will give you an opportunity to try some of the more exotic treatments, particularly some of the massages available. Massage (including exotic massages such as Aroma Stone massage, Chakra Balancing massage and other well-being massages), facials, pedicures, and beauty salon treatments cost extra – massage, for example, costs about $2 per minute, plus gratuity.
Junior passengers are in four groups: Kids Club is for 3–6; Junior Club is for 7–12; Teen Club is for 13–17. The programme varies by ship, itinerary and season. Group babysitting is available 6.30–11pm. During port days, babysitting is available generally 8.30am–12.30pm and 2.30–6.30pm.
Best ships for children: Costa Atlantica. But not Costa Victoria.
Costa Cruises traces its history back to 1860 when Giacomo Costa started an olive oil business. The first ship, in 1924, transported that oil. After he died, his three sons bought a freighter to cut transport costs for their olive oil empire. In 1948 Costa's first passenger ship carried passengers in style from Genoa to South America. In 1997, the company was bought by the USA's Carnival Corporation and UK's Airtours plc. Three years later Carnival took full control.
Costa specialises in cruises for Europeans or passengers with European tastes, and particularly Italians, during the summer. It has followed an aggressive new-build policy in recent years, in order to modernise the company's ageing fleet of different sized ships. These ships operate in three main markets: the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and South America.
Most ships are well maintained, although there are inconsistencies throughout the fleet. The same is true of cleanliness – some ships are very clean, while others are a little dusty around the edges, as are its shore tenders. The ships have a laid-back European "feel" to their decor and manner of product delivery.

Perfect-fit T-shirt is rated out of 5 by 35.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen from It is perfect! These short sleeve tees and the long sleeve tees are a wardrobe staple! Love these and wear them all the time! They are soft and comfortable and wash up well. I can't live without them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KDPCB from Great basic tee I love these tee shirts. I am 5'5" and 130lbs and a small is perfect. Please please offer them in more colors:)
Date published: 2014-05-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by kerrberr from Love These Tees! Accurately labeled as "perfect fit" - I can't imagine a tee being any more comfortable than this one. It gives a clean, fitted look without being too clingy or stretching too much. I prefer the Perfect Fit tees to the vintage cotton because they are thicker cotton and do not stretch or lose their shape throughout the day. I ordered my usual J. Crew tee size (XS - I am 5'4", 125, 34C), and this fits exactly as I expected. The sunwashed aqua is a beautiful color, but maybe just a bit more vibrant than it looks online. A wardrobe staple, for sure!

Rated 4 out of 5 by laurnadoone22 from Perfect, long narrow fit but need to come in talls I love the long, form fitting narrow fit of these shirts in both long sleeve & short sleeve & how soft they feel too! Length is the most important in fit for someone like me who is 5'10", 135 lbs, a 34c bust & small waist since many t-shirt types are too wide around the middle & not long enough in torso. Ordered both the short sleeve & long sleeve crew necks in small but being 100% cotton they did shrink up a little in length after washing, & the long sleeved ones shrank too much in the sleeve! I ordered more in medium & hopefully won't have to worry about the long sleeves shrinking too short now. But if these came in tall sizes or at least J Crew made the long sleeves longer, it would be absolutely perfect! Or make them in the exact same fit but just not 100% cotton to avoid as much shrinking?

Rated 4 out of 5 by MissGattopardo from Simply Perfect I have been buying Perfect Fit crew-neck tees from J Crew for the past 5 or 6 years and have always been pleased with them. The fabric is substantial for a basic tee, very soft, and it washes well. The styling is great also. . . the crew neck is more "open" (if that makes sense) and therefore more flattering to many figure types. The sleeve length is good---not too long and not too short. The length and the cut are just right--it skims the body without being tight. The colors are fantastic too. I purchased the Sweet Vanilla, which is a nice departure from pure white, but still versatile and works with many other colors.

Australia improved their remarkable Test record in Cape Town as they beat South Africa with two days to spare.
Ricky Ponting's men bowled out the home side for 197 and went on to make it nine wins from of 10 Tests at Newlands.
Pace bowler Stuart Clark rounded off a memorable debut by taking four wickets for match figures of 9-89.
Needing just 95 for victory, Australia lost Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer and Ricky Ponting to Makhaya Ntini before finally sealing a seven-wicket victory.
Hayden and Langer put on an opening partnership of 71 to snuff out any faint hopes South Africa may have had of somehow turning the match on its head.
Hayden, who stood his ground on 27 after Andrew Hall claimed a low catch at deep-wicket and was given the benefit of the doubt by the umpires, finally skied Ntini to gully and departed for 32.
Ntini struck again three balls later when Langer, on 34, dragged a ball onto his stump and then had Ponting lbw for a single as he took 3-28 from 10 overs.
But that was the final alarm for Australia as Damien Martyn and Mike Hussey steered them past the finishing post.
Clark had a chance earlier in the day to become only the third Australian in history to mark his first Test appearance by taking 10 wickets.
Having taken 5-55 in South Africa's first innings, he dismissed Jacques Kallis (36) and Ashwell Prince (27) before lunch with the help of keeper Adam Gilchrist's safe hands.
Then, following the resumption he deceived Nicky Boje into giving him a return catch and beat Andre Nel all ends up with a yorker.
Only Clarrie Grimmett (11-82 against England at Sydney in 1924-25) and Bob Massie (16-137 against England at Lord's in 1972) had previously picked up 10 wickets on debut for Australia.
But Clark was denied his chance to join them when Ntini hoisted a ball from Shane Warne to Michael Kasprowicz at long on.
The only partnership of note for South Africa was between Jacques Rudolph and Hall, who added 50 for the seventh wicket.
Rudolph batted for over seven hours to save South Africa from defeat by Australia in Perth last December.
But an error of judgement cost him his wicket for 41 as he played no stroke to a wide ball from Warne which spun back sharply to hit the stumps.
Hall eventually ran out of partners on 34, with Warne returning figures of 3-77 to take his Test wickets tally to 662.

Utica Comets Hockey Team Joins AHL – See the Top 5 Rejected Names for Utica's Minor League Hockey Team
After months of speculation, today it became official. Professional hockey returns to Utica as the Comets will call the Utica Garden (nee AUD) home beginning in the fall of 2013. Sometimes when a new franchise comes to town, the organizers will hold a "Name the Team" contest. That didn't happen, so we decided to come up with some alternative names that the Utica Comets could have used.
Utica Riggies
The logo could have been a giant rigatoni as a hockey stick hitting a chunk of chicken puck.
Inspired by @ProfessorSher
Utica IceMobsters
h/t to Lite 98.7 alumni Peter Naughton for recalling Utica's alleged mafioso past for this idea.
Utica ValleyWhackers
Actually I really like the idea of an organized crime inspired team -so here's my name suggestion.
Utica Canalmen
The reason Utica's getting a team in the first place? The Vancouver Canucks decided not to renew thier AHL deal with the Peoria Rivermen.While the Rivermen are still playing (in a different league) Utica could have used the concept. The Rivermen name is based on Peoria's location on the Illinois River, so we could be the Canalmen due to our history on the Erie Canal.
Utica SlapShots
It's a point of local pride that the 1977 movie Slap Shot was filmed partially at the Utica AUD. The team could have channeled some of that movie magic into the new club.

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
This module associates Organic Groups with Google accounts (Google drive) to let group members collaborate and share documents. Each group can be associated with one Google account and all the documents in the Google account drive are shared will all the group members.
The module uses the Google PHP SDK to authorize group members to create, upload, view, edit and delete documents that are automatically shared with all the group members.
The creating, uploading and deleting of documents is done through the Drupal interface.
The Google drive account interaction is managed through OAuth2 credentials and is transparent to the group member who only needs to supply a Google account address with which all group documents will be shared.
The module takes advantage of OG permissions and user access. Different roles can have different permissions (upload, create, delete, administer drive settings) for different groups. Each group can provide either the "writer" or "reader" role on the drive files to the members.
File access and permission is managed exclusively through group membership and is revoked when a user leaves a group, when a user is deleted, or when the group node is deleted.
Granted the necessary permission, a group administrator can manage which Google account is associated with the group being administered.

AT&T rolled out a half-dozen new phones Monday including the first phone on contract with a major telecom carrier to sport a super-bright, ultra-thin active matrix OLED display.
The phone from handset maker Samsung is called Impression and features an active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) screen that displays vibrant colors and consumes less power than widely used LCD displays today.
"The nation's first commercially available AMOLED screen results in one of the brightest and clearest displays in the U.S.," said AT&T in a statement. "It is paired with a keyboard underneath an amazingly slim, metallic blue, quick messaging phone that's all touch screen on the outside, all buttons on the inside" Samsung rival Nokia has an OLED phone available in the U.S. but it is unsubsidized and not available on contract with the major telecom carriers.
OLED-based displays are fast emerging as the alternative to LCD screens. OLEDs offer extremely bright displays that can make colors pop out. They draw less power, which means phones can run longer on a single battery charge. OLED-based displays also do not need a backlight so the screens can be thinner than an LCD panel leading to overall slimmer phones. The Samsung Impression is likely to be just the first of the OLED-based phones to hit the U.S. market.
The Impression has an 3-megapixel camera, a 3.2-inch screen and a full browser, says AT&T. It will be available starting April 7 for $200 with an AT&T contract. Here's a complete list of the phone's features.
AT&T's new lineup also includes phones from other handset makers such as Nokia and LG. AT&T said it plans to offer the Nokia E71x, billed as one of the thinnest smartphones in the market. The Symbian operating system based E71x is about 10 millimeters thick, runs Wi-Fi, GPS, and will be available for $100 with a contract.
Among the other phones will be the Samsung Propel, a Windows Mobile based full QWERTY keyboard slider phone for $150 with a contract; the LG Xenon, a 3G capable phone focused on music and text messaging; and the LG Neon, a low cost touchscreen phone targeted at teens.
Gadget Lab will be at the CTIA wireless conference in Las Vegas later this week. And we will bring you pictures of the phones from the show floor.

I do not yet know exactly if it was the gun or the cartrige, but Id be willing to bet that it was an overcharged cartrige. man, I just ordered a model 17, and I have plenty of faith in it, but I keep hearing about these .40 cal glocks exploding, so I would suggest staying away from these model of glocks.

New E-Lit Anthology
The Electronic Literature Collection Volume Two has just been published, for free, online. Where else? It's kind of like an anthology of electronic literature, made of links to 62 (!) complete works of digital literature. More than a primer for the mildly curious, the publication of this collection is a whole little immersive digital world, where one can click from one book to another, and each book reimagines the very idea of the book. Now we don't have any more excuses for not knowing what's up with digital lit—it's all in one place—the internet! And even more specifically, it's all one one site.

Coca-Cola's Olympic marketing campaign "dwarfs any other sponsor's efforts by an Olympic mile," reports Henry Unger of the ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. One example of Coke's "marketing siege" is the $30M Coca-Cola Olympic City, a 12-acre interactive amusement park in which visitors can pit themselves in simulated contests against the likes of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Grant Hill and Cecil Fielder. Coca-Cola has also taken over the old Georgia Freight Depot to create Coca-Cola Refreshment Plaza, which will house a pin trading center and a folk art exhibit as well as Olympic- themed entertainment (ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 6/2). SOLE OF THE GAMES: Reebok will spend more than $20M on ad time prior to and during the Games and another $5M on billboards, buses and other advertising in Atlanta, reports Chris Roush of the CONSTITUTION. Reebok debuted seven TV spots, using Emmitt Smith, Shaquille O'Neal and U.S. soccer player Michelle Akers. In one ad coming out in July, O'Neal, dressed as genie Kazaam, grant's Smith's wish to make football an Olympic sport. Reebok is also considering flipping its logo upright "in an Olympic flamelike pose" at the end of the ads, but has not made a decision (ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 5/31). Meanwhile, Mike Fish writes that Nike is betting that sprinter Gwen Torrence "has an excellent chance to become a star of the Games." Nike has inked a deal with Torrence and recently shot footage of her at the Prefontaine Classic (ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 5/31).

Rockmont CollegeClass of
From a large mission family in Costa Rica, Arturo Kinch participated in basketball, soccer, and downhill skiing at Rockmont. He graduated with degrees in biblical studies
and camping and recreation. Arturo did not aim at being a top skier at Rockmont but was merely using the sport to keep in shape for soccer. But he was a natural, and he was the ski team's top point scorer
for several seasons.
In order to compete internationally, Kinch learned he must be a member of his national ski association, so he founded the Costa Rica Ski Association and became the first Olympic athlete from
Costa Rica in the sport. From his first Olympics—Lake Placid in 1980—to Salt Lake in 2002, Kinch competed in alpine skiing for a country that had no snow. In 1984 (Sarajevo), Kinch also competed in cross-country skiing and continued in that sport at age forty-nine at the 2006 Olympics in Torino. In 2004, Kinch was inducted into CCU's Hall of Fame.

Gaston remains undefeated and inches closer to a Top 10 state ranking with an impressive victory over No. 8 Regis
During the past four seasons, the Gaston High School football team has turned itself from a pretender into a contender.
The Greyhounds went 2-6 in 2008, failing to win a game in the Northwest League. The following season they were 3-6. Last year they turned a corner, posting an 8-2 record and advancing to the OSAA state playoffs for the first time since 1992.
This season, so far, has the promise to be as good as 2010 - or even better. Gaston is currently a perfect 4-0 and has a bye this week before traveling to traditional league power Knappa on Oct. 7.
At the heart of the turnaround has been a standout senior class of nine boys, many of whom were starting and seeing significant playing time even as freshmen.
'We've definitely come a long ways,' said Adam Johnson, one of those seniors.
A lack of upperclassmen during the current seniors' freshman and sophomore years forced them onto the field early, where they were outsized and outmanned by older, stronger opponents.
'Every team that we played were just loaded with juniors and seniors, and back then they were just downright scary,' Johnson said. 'But now we go out there and we're just the cream of the crop. We're at the top of the food chain.'
The physical disparities between younger and older high school boys quickly became evident to running back Kevin Reynolds, who recalled gazing across the line of scrimmage during the first game of the 2008 season at his bearded opponent.
'Oh my God, this guy's huge!' Reynolds remembered thinking.
Now, these Gaston boys are no longer 130-pound freshmen. In fact, Michael Saul is an imposing 6-foot-5, 275-pound lineman. And it's fellow lineman Tyler McCray - solid himself at 5-10 and 225 pounds - who now sports the facial hair.
Despite the losing seasons early on, the senior group never lost its desire to win, an attitude the boys said was instilled in them by one of their youth coaches, Ron Stark.
'He preached intensity with us from a young age,' Johnson explained. 'Intensity wins football games.'
That attitude was a dramatic shift from the prevailing mindset when the current seniors first arrived at Gaston - that losing was acceptable and to be expected.
'These guys have always played like it's their life,' said second-year head coach Reeve Woodward. 'They're playing to win the game because that's what they do and that's their life.'
Of course, Woodward, 29, has played a role in the Greyhounds' recent success, too.
When he took over the head coaching position before the 2010 season, he became Gaston's third head coach in three seasons.
But Woodward was not a stranger, having been these seniors' physical education teacher since seventh grade. He made adjustments to the boys' positions in the lineup and instituted a power set offense that his father, John Woodward - who now serves as an assistant for the Greyhounds - had used successfully during more than two decades as the head coach at Tillamook High School.
'He saw the abilities that we had, and so he was able to put that on the field,' Reynolds explained.
As Woodward put it: 'We are where we belong now. They are in the right positions to be the most successful that they can possibly be athletically.'
Finally as strong, as big and as old as their opponents, the Gaston seniors are putting their stamp on the program. Woodward called quarterback David Carr, who also plays cornerback on defense, a 'great athlete' and 'an even better person.'
'That's why he's the leader of the team,' Woodward said.
And Dusty Brown is 'an unbelievable athlete,' according to his coach.
'He's the best receiver in the state by far,' Woodward explained. 'And his hands are beyond compare. There's nobody around that can catch the ball like Dusty. And he's our security blanket as our safety.'
Among the other seniors, Woodward said, Johnson and Reynolds form a tough linebacker trio, along with junior Sam Wismer. And Saul, McCray and Dillon McCathron are all solid on the line.
The Greyhounds' goals are three-fold this year: to defeat Knappa (neither Woodward nor the senior boys could recall defeating the Loggers in any sport), to win the league title, and to advance to the state quarterfinals.
On Friday, Gaston tuned up for the showdown against Knappa, the defending league champion, with a 28-14 victory over Regis, currently ranked No. 8 in the OSAA Class 2A Power Rankings.
'It was really helpful because blowing other teams out doesn't really help us that much,' Carr said of the tight game against the Rams. 'But when we get a tough team that's just as good as us, we get to play really hard and get to see kind of where we're at.'
Winning the league would ensure that the Greyhounds will host a first-round playoff game - no small accomplishment considering no Gaston team has done so in the current crop of players' lifetimes.
But the Greyhounds have plenty to take care of between now and then. Especially for those seniors who have seen so much and come so far in four seasons.
'You have to work for everything,' Saul explained. 'If you want something, you have to work for it, or it's just going to blow by. You're not going to get anything.'

What materiel disadvantage?
Total German tank production during the war, all types: 50 439 vehicles (including tank destroyers and assault guns)
Total Soviet tank production during the war, T-34 variants alone: 50 609 vehicles (not including tank destroyers and assault guns based on the chassis)
If the Germans indeed had a 6-1 advantage in amount of steel produced, they sure as hell didn't use it very well, now did they? That's discounting the fact important industrial items were flowing into Russia from the US, freeing up their indigineous industrial capacity to produce more weapons: so the Germans were not, in fact fighting the USSR ; They were fighitng the USSR with access to US industry.
Also, the USSR lost 25-30 million people IN TOTAL, only about 7 million of those were military casualties, but that's a minor point.

CMS Issues Payment Rule, Quality Incentive for Dialysis Providers
Dialysis services for nearly 330,000 Medicare patients with end stage renal disease will be paid under a new system that creates a bundled, case-adjusted rate starting Jan. 1, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Monday with its final rule.
In addition, the agency proposed a rule that would create a new Quality Incentive Program (QIP) for dialysis services—the first pay for performance program in fee-for-service—that will link a facility's payment to how well it meets new performance standards. The QIP will take effect on Jan. 1, 2012.
About 600 hospital-based and 4,330 free-standing end-stage renal disease facilities are affected. In 2007, the value of these services was $9.2 billion for dialysis treatments and other related services such as medication.
"The new payment system and quality incentive program for dialysis services have significant potential to improve patient outcomes and promote efficient delivery of healthcare services," says CMS' new Administrator Donald Berwick, MD.
"In addition, for the first time in any of our payment systems, the quality of care facilities furnish to patients will be reflected in their payment rates." He added, the QIP "is a critical tool for encouraging and supporting dialysis facilities to focus their energies thoroughly on the quality of dialysis care they provide to Medicare beneficiaries."
The new payment system provides an adjustment to help patients learn skills to receive dialysis at home if appropriate.

Pune, Apr 12: Aaron Finch (64) struck a half century as Pune Warriors notched up their first win of the season with an easy seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL match here on Thursday night (April 11). Pune snapped a 11-match losing streak in IPL.
Chasing a modest 146 for a win, the Warriors overhauled the target with eight balls to spare with Finch playing sheet anchor with a 53-ball 64 at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium to give the home side their first win in three matches.
The Warriors romped home easily on the foundation laid by the openers -- Finch and Robin Uthappa (32 off 16 balls) -- who raised 58 runs in just 4.5 overs. Ross Taylor and Yuvraj Singh, who returned to the side after missing the second match due to a sore back, chipped in with 17 and 28 not out respectively.
Yuvraj took some time to open his account but he ended the contest in style with a six off Sreesanth as the Warriors reached 148 for three in 18.4 overs. Yuvraj's 23-ball knock was studded with two fours and as many sixes.
Finch, who hit six fours and three sixes in his knock, and Uthappa destroyed the confidence of the Royals opening bowlers Harmeet Singh and S Sreesanth with a flurry of fours and sixes early on. Finch hit Sreesanth for a straight six in the third over of the innings and the pacer's first.
The home crowd roared into frenzy as left-arm spinner and IPL debutant Harmeet was clobbered for 16 runs with Uthappa hitting two consecutive fours and Finch joining in with a huge six. Uthappa then launched an amazing attack on Sreesanth with two sixes and a four in the pacer's next over as the Warriors reached 50 in the fourth over itself with the help of four fours and as many sixes.
The opening stand was broken in the fifth over with the Royals captain Rahul Dravid taking a brilliant one-handed catch at short-midwicket to dismiss Uthappa off James Faulkner. Uthappa's 32 came from just 16 balls and was studded with three fours and two sixes.
With the openers having given a rollicking start, the Warriors had the luxury to slow down a bit. Finch and Taylor eschewed risk to take their side to 86 for one at the halfway mark with the asking just six an over.

A Current Issue of Global Concern:
The Significance of Education for Peace and Stability in Afghanistan ©
Over 30 years of war and instability have ruined the infrastructure of all spheres of Afghan life. Education has probably been the sector that has sustained the most devastation in Afghanistan. Educating the Afghan populace – especially the young generation – is a critical facet toward engendering enduring peace and stability, alleviating endemic poverty, and resuscitating economic growth in the country.
From this writer's personal awareness, in Afghanistan today most schools lack proper teaching facilities and materials (apart from the usual facilities this would include current library holdings, computerized language labs, computer labs etc) . But perhaps most important of all …in Afghanistan …there is a critical shortage of qualified teachers. Teachers with current qualifications reflective of those which would be demanded, at a minimum, in neighboring states …let alone the rest of the world.
Beyond the issue of availability of adequate educational opportunity however, the educational crisis in Afghanistan is further acerbated by societal circumstances. This writer is certain most readers will be aware of the circumstances which prevail in Afghanistan but, according to a report by Surgar (2011), Afghan parents are reluctant to send their children to school buildings which – because the populace is aware of the grim inadequacy of the schooling facilities – are strikingly empty of activity and children. The Surgar report underpins this writer's own research on the ground in that it reveals that the quality of Afghan education is " low" and in most cases a striking non-existence of textbooks and of proper curricula and syllabi is evident.
Another issue that has a bearing – but which has not figured prominently in discussions about the re-engineering of the Afghan educational system – relates to the socio-cultural bias that many Afghans have toward the education of females, especially in the conservative and remote areas of the country. This is another challenge that the Afghan government needs to wrestle with. According to a report by the United Nations Children's Fund the disparity between the enrollment (at schools offering even the most basic educational facilities) of girls' and boys' is enormous. In 2009 the enrolment of young Afghan girls constituted only 35% of the total primary school enrollments (UNICEF, 2009). This percentage swells in some rural provinces in the south of the country such as in Zabul Province. Due to growing instability 90 out of 100 girls are not in schools in that province. As an average only 50% of all children receive schooling in Afghanistan (IRIN, 2011).
Beyond early School education …in Afghanistan today there are other significant education related challenges that need to be addressed. Among them is the desperate circumstance surrounding availability of higher education opportunities (certificate, diploma and degree programmes) for those Afghans who have actually made the difficult, and sometimes perilous, journey through early school …to qualify with a High School qualification. Part of the issue is an epidemic of despair that, for those who complete early schooling …high school … and do not have the resources to proceed further with their education, there are virtually no employment opportunities upon graduation. This situation, obviously, only lends to the damaging environment of thought that education does not do anything to better ones lot in life.
Further looming education related problems continue to surface in Afghanistan. According to the Ministry of Higher Education of Afghanistan (2010), the number of high school graduates will reach 600,000 students by 2014. These are young eager Afghans on the brink of adulthood who should be able to look to their own country for the provision of further, higher education opportunities with which to prepare themselves to compete in a world filled with others of their own age who are forging ahead armed with modern further education qualifications. Under normal circumstances the half a million or more Afghans who will seek admission to college or university should not – if proper strategic planning had been evident …if the governmental will had been evident – have been a problem. Unfortunately such is not the case in Afghanistan.
As of this time of writing – in January 2011 – the currently existing public and private universities do not have the capacity to cope with such a huge number of potential new applicants (MoHE, 2010).
Although, the Afghan government sponsors higher education of some Afghan students by sending them to countries such as the United State and India, in a nut-shell this alternative is disastrously expensive for Afghanistan, and, in most cases, futile. Most Afghan students studying abroad – upon earning whatever qualification they had sought – often do not return to Afghanistan after completion of their education. This writer is personally aware that many seek asylum in the host countries (personal research, 2010).
Despite the fact that – since the fall of Taliban in 2001 – the Afghan education sector has – according to the nation's Ministry of Education – witnessed substantial progress in, for instance, the amount of overall enrolment in some form of educational pursuit (7 million), the training of teachers, and the construction of over 4,500 schools (Afghanistan Ministry of Education, 2010); Afghanistan sustains the highest illiteracy rates in the world for both men and women. More than 11 million Afghans over the age of 15 still cannot read or write. In rural areas, where the majority of Afghans live, 90 percent of the women and more than 60 percent of the men are illiterate (REAC, 2010). This situation has created a perfect opportunity for the opposition of the Afghan government to exploit the unawareness of the locals and use them for political and personal agendas (Time, 2010).
It is this writer's strongly-held personal belief that Education has a pivotal impact on peace and stability. If the Afghan government – and the international community which spends billions in Afghanistan facing the enemy militarily – want to bring peace and security to Afghanistan, they must play a strong, supportive role in pressing the Afghan authorities to focus upon educating Afghans. In essence there needs to be a sea-change in the much promulgated strategies we fall victim to so often from supposed experts. The essential need is that there MUST be greater and better educational opportunities inside the country.
It is patently obvious that in this vital period of national re-building the authorities have many other vital imperatives to address. Hospitals, transportation infrastructure, etc. But in ignoring the country's precious resource – its young..its youth …and their education …Afghanistan is breeding further problems. The high rate of unemployment and crisis-level –lack of availability of opportunities to higher educational institutions simply means more foot soldiers for the enemy (Associated Content, 2007). The opposition … fighting in Afghanistan… easily recruits disaffected, disgruntled, under-educated, and under-utilized young Afghans and uses them against the Afghan government and coalition forces.
Even the encouraging strides to provide more schools, colleges and universities, made by the Afghan education authorities are, to this writer, insufficient. Far too often (public, state-funded) Universities from the Coalition countries float into Afghanistan and enter into arrangements with local government universities. This is not necessarily what is needed.
The Afghan Education authorities should not – in this era of resuscitation – try to go it alone. They should encourage private higher educational organizations – who may be more apt to develop genuine long-term relations – given their personal investment not garnered from government coffers – to invest in the country …to open degree programmes in discipline areas which will train Afghans to take their place in the global arenas of business, commerce, international trade, international relations, and leadership. The Afghan Education authorities should encourage international private education entities to invest in the nation and its people by making the currently extraordinarily- difficult approval process much leaner and rational.
