The aim of this book is to set you free. But free from what? Free from neurosis. Free from the feeling that you have to obey authority. Free from emotional intimidation. Free from addiction. Free from inhibition.
The key to happiness, mental health and being the most that we can be is absolute and unconditional self-acceptance. The paradox is that many of our problems are caused by trying to improve ourselves, censor our thinking, make up for past misdeeds and struggling with our negative feelings whether of depression or aggression.
But if we consider ourselves in our entirety in this very moment, we know these things :
1. Anything we have done is in the past and cannot be changed, thus it is pointless to do anything else but accept it. No regrets or guilt.
2. While our actions can harm others, our thoughts and emotions, in and of themselves, never can. So we should accept them and allow them to be and go where they will. While emotions sometimes drive actions, those who completely accept their emotions and allow themselves to feel them fully, have more choice over how they act in the light of them.
Self-criticism never made anyone a better person. Anyone who does a "good deed" under pressure from their conscience or to gain the approval of others takes out the frustration involved in some other way. The basis for loving behaviour towards others is the ability to love ourselves. And loving ourselves unconditionally, means loving ourselves exactly as we are at this moment.
This might seem to be complacency, but in fact the natural activity of the individual is healthy growth, and what holds us back from it is fighting with those things we can't change and the free thought and emotional experience which is the very substance of that growth.

Delaware State University on Sept. 26 held the first of what are planned to be several public meetings to discuss averting drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse among youth.
Delaware State University on Sept. 26 held the first of what are planned to be several public meetings to discuss averting drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse among youth.
Approximately 60 people attended the Town Hall-style meeting, titled "An Epidemic in Our Community."
"This is a prevention activity," said Dr. Gwendolyn Scott-Jones, associate professor and chair of the school's psychology department. "We want to heighten awareness and get the community engaged, inside and outside the university."
The idea is to target children beginning in middle school and warn them about the dangers not just of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs, but of the improper use of prescription drugs as well, she said.
Statistics show that approximately 8,000 teens in Delaware use illegal drugs every month; of those 7.5 percent smoke marijuana and 5.5 percent used illicit drugs other than marijuana.
A growing problem is the abuse of prescription drugs, legal medications used by persons other than those for whom they were intended, said Senior Cpl. Alfonzo Jones of the Delaware State Police. More than 6,000 adolescents misuse prescription drugs annually, he said.
Jones said education is the key to helping these teens wean themselves off illegal drugs and also to helping others from abusing them in the first place.
"We want to give people the tools, information to talk about so we can make our community and state a little better," he told the audience.
Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement agent Aaron T. Bonniwell discussed the division's Tobacco Cooperating Underage Witness program, which targets businesses that illegally sell to minors.
The program uses teen volunteers who go into stores and try to buy tobacco products, Bonniwell said. The teens, who must have parental permission to take part in the program, are accompanied by plainclothes officers who watch the entire transaction. Clerks face arrest for making illegal tobacco sales and businesses risk their licenses for selling to minors, he said.
A similar program is in place to check alcohol sales, Bonniwell said.
Bonniwell also warned against "scissor," which involves mixing Sprite soda, a Jolly Rancher candy and cough syrup. This and other "hood" drugs are popular because the ingredients are easily obtainable and legal, he said.
Such mixtures can be just as potent as other illegal drugs, Bonniwell said.
"Now you don't have to buy from your corner drug dealer anymore," he said. "Everything's in your medicine cabinet."
Because of its location on the East Coast, Delaware is a highway for drug traffickers moving their wares from the New York/Philadelphia area to Washington, D.C., and other large southern cities, Jones said. Dealers move drugs along I-95, or use U.S. Route 13 to bring them into beach resorts or smaller towns.
Marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the area, although pills such as Ecstasy and Oxycontin also are high on the list of desired illegal drugs. Methamphetamine also is growing in popularity, despite the hazards posed in making it.
Drug dealers use dangerous chemicals to produce meth, ingredients that can explode if not handled properly, Jones said. Experts in explosives and handling hazardous materials must be brought in to dismantle meth labs when discovered by authorities, he said.
"There's always a reason for people getting involved with drugs and alcohol," he said.
Ending such abuse – nor never starting – also begins with a decision, Jones said.
There are myriad means of ending the cycle, from school and community counselors to online services. Help also is available through Delaware 211, an online and telephone service that offers counseling and assistance when needed.
Scott-Jones was pleased with the turnout at this first Town Hall session, and said the university plans to expand future meetings.
"We just need to do more before there are casualties and consequences that are irreversible," Scott-Jones said.

NILES, Ill., June 13, 2013—When Country Music Television's (CMT) Awards Show was broadcast live on Wednesday, June 5, there was little doubt as to the preferred equipment supplier to country music's top performers. From the rocking opening number by Lenny Kravitz to the rap-flavored finale by Florida-Georgia Line assisted by Nelly, microphones, wireless microphone systems, and in-ear monitors from Shure dominated the stage at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
The primary audio equipment supplier for the event was Clair Global, with wireless frequency coordination by Jeff Briggette. Performances by Shure endorsers Little Big Town, Hunter Hayes, Luke Bryan, and Florida-Georgia Line all featured SM58® capsules atop Shure UR2 handheld transmitters, while Randy Houser and Lenny Kravitz each went with hardwired 58s. The evening's house band, The Mavericks, also featured SM58 vocals. Performances by Cassadee Pope, last season's winner of The Voice competition on NBC, and Kree Harrison from American Idol, both sang on wired SM58s for their performances. Singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves, on the other hand, opted for the KSM9 capsule on a UR2 transmitter.
Audio producer Tom Davis shared music mixing duties with Stan "Quack" Dacus, while production mixer Mark King handled the broadcast mix. Fans inside Bridgestone Arena heard the house mix provided by Rick Shimer of Blackhawk Audio, all veterans of this event. Davis is a big fan of using Shure wireless in high-pressure situations like the CMT Awards. "With 13 music performances, basically back-to-back on live TV, there's no room for error," says Davis. "Between microphones, in-ear systems, and intercom, we were running well over 150 RF channels, and the Shure UHF-R wireless mics and PSM®1000 in-ears gave us flawless RF and great sound."
The wireless in-ear monitoring systems for all guest artists were Shure PSM 1000, which have proven to be very popular in the touring community due to their combination of diversity reception, reliability, and outstanding sound quality. Jason Spence, President of Nashville's J Sound Services, handled the monitor mixes for all guest artists and reports that everything went very smoothly, despite the challenges inherent in working with interference sources like LED video walls. Country mixing veteran Bob Bussiere handled monitors for The Mavericks.
Spence notes, "With the number of RF channels in use on an award show like the CMT Awards, combined with the challenges of LED interference, the RF environment can be quite hostile to say the least. The Shure PSM 1000 has given me the ability to provide a great sounding wireless in-ear monitor system to the performers with the added peace of mind of uninterrupted RF performance."
Shure microphones were similarly dominant in instrument applications, with the classic SM57 seeing duty on snare drums and guitar amplifiers. The Beta98AMP/C miniature mic was seen on many toms, with the Beta 52A in kick drums, while the KSM137 saw duty on hi-hats, and KSM32s captured overhead cymbals.
"It was great to see so many artists opting for Shure at the CMT Awards, and what was interesting was that most of the requests were for the SM58, both wired and wireless," says Shure's Ryan Smith, Regional Manager, Artist Relations/Nashville, who was in attendance. "Artists and engineers are still so comfortable with the SM58 sound that it continues to be the first choice for vocals. There's a reason it's a classic."

Close to transportation, Tanforan Mall, SFO Airport and freeways. Street Parking. Good Size Backyard. Great for investment!
So, why is this a Realtard's dream?
It's not just the trifecta of stainless, granite and hardwood, or the "affordable" price of not much less than not a lot of money. It's not even the HDR photography that lovingly picks up every bit of the shredded plastic in the back yard.
Let's hear the answer from wftf:
I have a perfect representation of the last 2 or 3 housing bubbles, all in one house!
Maybe people didn't realize planes would be rumbling by overhead and couldn't take it anymore after a year. This might explain the rapid turnover/flipping activity, but not all of it.
Selling 8 times in 25 years and going for number 9? That's got to be some kind of record.
Maybe the agent just has their card laminated onto the room divider when the residents give up.
That's also a record for the fewest steps from the front door to the kitchen we've ever seen. But check this out, the agent wasn't kidding about close to transportation. And yes, that's the airport off the right margin of US 101.

Boxing is called the sweet science, but there was nothing sweet about HBO declaring Monday it will no longer do business with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions for the foreseeable future.
Ken Hershman, president of HBO Sports, released this statement: "In order to achieve our goal of the best fighters in the most compelling matchups, we've decided to focus our efforts and resources on those strategic relationships where we better share common goals and business philosophies."
Translation: HBO is ticked that the strength of the relationship between Showtime and Golden Boy has resulted in three prominent Golden Boy fighters leaving HBO for Showtime – Amir Khan, Danny Garcia and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. An HBO official who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity, said it was more about that kind of unproductive business practice than it was Floyd Mayweather Jr. recently signing with Showtime after having toiled so many years on HBO.
Mayweather is not under contract to Golden Boy, but Golden Boy has promoted his past several bouts and will promote Mayweather's May 4 welterweight title defense against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero at MGM Grand in Las Vegas (on Showtime pay-per-view).
Many insiders, however, believe the bolt by Mayweather might have been the last straw.
And, perhaps the writing was on the wall when HBO decided it would not televise a proposed Adrien Broner-Paulie Malignaggi welterweight title fight. Both fight for Golden Boy, and Broner is a rapidly rising star. Certainly, HBO didn't want to invest in that fight, then have Broner go the way of the others and end up at Showtime.
Of course, that's what happened anyway when HBO showed Golden Boy the gate.
HBO wants to showcase stars, not build them into stars only to have them eventually take their talents to Showtime. Heck, it's supposed to be the other way around, right? Fighters start on Showtime and end up on HBO. Perhaps those days are gone.
The thing is this seems to be yet another issue that is going to hurt a sport whose peaks and valleys make it ever vulnerable. First we have to deal with fights not getting made because Golden Boy and rival Top Rank Inc. do not like each other and won't do business unless forced to by a mandatory match.
Now, we have HBO – still the most important television arm in boxing, with Showtime hot on its tail – tossing Golden Boy in the dumpster.
We spoke to one prominent trainer and one prominent manager this week about the situation. We received interestingly different reactions, though we're not totally convinced of the merits of one of them.
Robert Garcia – the 2012 Trainer of the Year as voted by the Boxing Writers Association of America – trains former lightweight champion Brandon Rios, super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire and featherweight champion Mikey Garcia, Robert Garcia's younger brother.
Make no mistake, Robert Garcia is concerned about what this means for his fighters.
"We definitely have to worry about it because there's so many big fights, so many big things that should be happening and we might never see them," Garcia said.
"Right now, I could say, `OK, I have Brandon, I have Mikey, I have Nonito.' Those are all HBO fighters, so I could say, `More dates for us.'
"But then there's also those dates that we might never see against those other guys that are fighting for Showtime. It's sad to see that. But there's nothing I can do about it. It would be Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya working something out, and I don't see that happening, either."
Indeed, if Arum's Top Rank Inc. and Golden Boy began willfully doing business again, this TV situation would not be as dire. What HBO disowning Golden Boy basically does is make that divide even wider.
Manager Frank Espinoza has a stable of fighters that includes super bantamweight champion Abner Mares. Most of Espinoza's fighters are with Golden Boy. Yet Espinoza said he's not concerned those fighters won't be able to fight on HBO unless something changes.
"I think it doesn't really affect me as a manager," said Espinoza, who also manages two-time Mexican Olympian Oscar Valdez, who is with Top Rank.
"I have a good relationship with Top Rank and I have talent there that will be exposed on HBO. I have talent with Golden Boy that will be exposed on Showtime. (Golden Boy) has enough shows to showcase my guys. They have Showtime, CBS, Fox Sports, different networks. I think my guys will remain busy."
That response surprised us because Espinoza has been very vocal about his displeasure regarding the ongoing rift between Golden Boy and Top Rank.
Bottom line is, this power play by HBO is going to result in even more good fights not getting made. More than ever, Golden Boy and Top Rank are going to match their own fighters. Golden Boy's bigger fights will be on Showtime, Top Rank's on HBO. Showtime may not say publicly it won't use Top Rank, but the Stephen Espinoza-led sports department there hasn't televised a Top Rank card in over a year.
Oh, by the way, Stephen Espinoza – vice president of Showtime Sports – is a friend of Golden Boy. Used to be its attorney.
Perhaps we should change sweet science to sour politics.
Brandon Rios ready for action in rematch against Mike Alvarado
It was Tuesday, and former lightweight champion and current junior welterweight contender Brandon Rios was playing host to a media workout in preparation for his rematch with Mike Alvarado next Saturday at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas (on HBO).
Rios and Alvarado engaged each other in a wicked fight last Oct. 13 at Home Depot Center, Rios coming away with a seventh-round TKO. Reporters talked to Rios about what the return bout with Alvarado might bring. There was also a lot of talk about this past Saturday's welterweight title fight between champion Timothy Bradley and Ruslan Provodnikov of Russia.
That fight ended up being a lot like Rios-Alvarado I, except that it went all 12 rounds, Bradley coming away with a narrow decision. Rios said he thought the fight should have been scored a draw because a supposed knockdown of Bradley in the first round was ruled a slip.
Rios (31-0-1, 23 KOs) loved the action, however.
"It was a hell of a fight," he said.
Rios said it surprised him that the lighter-hitting Bradley decided to go toe-to-toe with the heavy-handed Provodnikov.
"Yeah, it did," he said. "He came out looking for the knockout. He hurt the Russian a couple of times, but the Russian hurt him a lot. It was one of those fights. I couldn't believe it. It looked like (Provodnikov) barely touched (Bradley) and, `Ooh, aah.' I guess the Russian hits really hard."
These are the kind of fights Rios yearns for. One could say he's a fighter's fighter.
"I love to fight, man," he said.
And fans love to see him fight. Even though he and Bradley are both managed by Cameron Dunkin, Rios and Dunkin said they would have no problem moving up to welterweight to make that fight. But what about a Rios-Provodnikov fight? The way they both crack, that could provide brutality not often seen in the ring.
"I know Brandon, and I know Cameron will try to go a different direction, maybe," said Robert Garcia, Rios' trainer. "But if we're ever forced to do it, Brandon will push to sign the contract because he loves those fights."
Garcia was right. Dunkin may not want to go in Provodnikov's direction.
"Yeah, well, that's a fight that people have already mentioned," Dunkin said. "But there's also other great fights out there for him (Rios) and I need to make him some money. It always comes down to that."
Middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin will defend his title against Nobuhiro Ishida (24-8-2, 9 KOs) next Saturday from Monte Carlo, Monaco (on Integrated Sports pay-per-view). The hard-hitting Golovkin (25-0, 22 KOs), who is trained by West Covina's Abel Sanchez in Big Bear, will be looking to make his sixth successful title defense. … Golden Boy Promotions finally found someone for 41-year-old former champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley to fight. Mosley, of Pomona, will take on Mexico's Pablo Cesar Cano on May 18 in Cancun, Mexico (on Fox Deportes). Cano was supposed to fight Manuel Perez a week ago, but Cano pulled out because he said he had the flu. Cano, 25-2-1 with 19 knockouts, is a good fighter. Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KOs) is 0-3-1 in his past four bouts. … Lightweight champion Adrien Broner was arrested Monday for alleged battery on a security guard who was trying to break up an altercation Broner was involved in outside a Miami nightclub. … Arthur Abraham (36-3, 28 KOs) will defend his super middleweight belt against Robert Stieglitz (43-3, 24 KOs) at 1 p.m. today from Germany (on Epix, free trial).

From 'Down Under' to Williamsport
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Glen Tovey already had one dream die on the diamond. But the manager of the Perth Metro Australia Little League team wasn't going to let another one slip through his hands.
On June 5, Perth made history, becoming the first team from "The Land Down Under" to punch its ticket to the Little League World Series.
After a 35-hour trip that included three flights and a bus ride, Perth was the first of the eight international teams to arrive in South Williamsport this summer -- 11,490 miles from home.
In a nation where baseball fanatics are few, Tovey knew the odds were long that a team from his coastal metropolis would ever step foot on Little League's historic grounds here -- and even then, not for several more years. He had already had his baseball dreams crushed once before -- in the 1990s when he came halfway around the world to play for the College of San Mateo in California, only to sustain a career-ending knee injury while training.
Where baseball ranks in Australia has been a factor working against a trip to the LLWS.
"It certainly isn't in the top five sports," Tovey said. "We're probably pushing 10th or 11th in terms of national interest. However, those who are involved in the baseball community, we spread the word the best we can."
With sports like Australian rules football and rugby trouncing America's pastime for popularity in Australia, qualifying for the LLWS was traditionally far more complicated. Rather than host their own regional, Australian teams had to compete in the Asia-Pacific bracket against the likes of baseball hotbeds Chinese Taipei and Korea.
Tovey, a development and coaching officer for a group of club teams, met with a district administrator last September concerning the prospect of Australia -- with a population of 21 million and nearly 400 Little Leagues -- having its own regional. He was often told that the nation needed to show "continuous growth" in baseball to host a regional.
"I said, `Son, one day Australia's going to get direct entrance into the Little League World Series, but I think it will probably be in three to four years, projecting on the 380 teams, where we were," Tovey said, referring a conversation with his son, Michael.
Finally, this year, the Aussies were granted their long-awaited chance. The country was given a regional of its own -- it featured 20 teams, held June 1-5 -- and the teams that formerly made up the Middle East-Africa region were moved into other regions.
Perth Metro Central traveled to Queensland in northeast Australia, in a time zone three hours ahead of Perth. Many of his team's games were at 8:30 a.m. -- 5:30 a.m. Perth time -- so Tovey asked his players to wake up at 5 a.m. the week before their first game to reset their biological clocks.
On Thursday afternoon, the team worked out on a practice field a few hours before its opening game. The complex's two stadiums, Lamade and Volunteer, towered a few hundred yards away. Whatever pregame nerves the team might've had weren't noticeable. More than anything, they were humbled to be present at youth baseball's biggest stage.
"It's been a dream come true. We can't believe that we're actually here," coach Wayne Shaldon said. "The dream just keeps going on. Every day's better than the last."
The players, all of whom participated in a colorful opening ceremony with seven other countries and eight other United States teams at Volunteer Stadium, were in awe of the complex.
"I thought it would be a big, big, big place," outfielder Caydyn Hancock said, "with people everywhere, and cameras. I didn't expect all of this. It's amazing."
Hancock added, "I'm actually real excited. I finally got to step on the dirt and grass."
On the field later Thursday, things would not go Perth's way. The Aussies lost 12-0 to Mexico in a game called by the mercy rule after 3 1/2 innings.
Tovey believes Australia "probably should've" had a chance at the LLWS before this year, noting that the country has more Little League teams than Japan, a baseball powerhouse. But he's also grateful for the opportunity his team now has.
While he was in the U.S. in 1997, Tovey went to a Major League World Series game between the Indians and Marlins at Cleveland's Jacobs Field. So sports pageantry in Williamsport would not be something new.
"I had a fairly high expectation of what it would be like (in Williamsport)," he said. "It has blown it away. I could not even comprehend it would be like this. It's a beautiful place with beautiful people. They've been so warm and receiving, not just to us, but to everyone who's been here.
"It's like heaven on Earth."
It's all still a dream for Australia.
"I never ever thought we'd get this far. Not here," Shaldon said. "Dream's come true, and we believe that. We've dreamt big and it's come up for us. And we'll keep dreaming."

Himerge - version 0.13 released.
During the last few weeks i have been working on Himerge (a graphical user interface for Gentoo's portage system), fixing bugs, cleaning code, adding new features here and there. And today, i have finally released a new version of it.
Himerge version 0.13 (Alpha) is practically the first packaged version of this program, so, we could consider it as the first release, though its darcs repository have been around for several months now.
This version is still under development, and though it has been very stable for me lately, i still prefer to keep it under Alpha status.
The tarball package is available from its new web site at http://www.haskell.org/himerge , from where you can also get the darcs development version if you feel like testing the latest code.
Himerge comes with many new features (most of them recently added, and many still need more testing, one of the main reason i have decided to label it Alpha yet), among them: a new resizable panel, so you can get a complete view of any operation; a web view to access the web site of a specific package; an improved use flag and package branch browser, better error handling for several operations, a different and in my opinion, more flexible layout, added some extra-operations like dependencies rebuild; and more.
Himerge also comes with a new icon set, most of them from the Tango project and a new main logo (shown here) design.
I also expect to upload an official ebuild in the portage tree soon, so keep checking.
Please, visit the himerge web site for further information.
Regards and Enjoy!

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Britain's Triumph Motorcycles will start selling its iconic bikes in India on Thursday as it seeks to capture the hearts of wealthy motor heads who ride for passion not function.
Privately held Triumph is following high-end motorcycle makers such as Harley-Davidson Inc and Volkswagen AG's Ducati in entering a market where quick-rising wealth is leading to greater demand for expensive toys.
"The best combination on the road is the bike and the road - they are the only two people who can talk to each other. I think that culture is coming up in India," Triumph India Managing Director Vimal Sumbly told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
Triumph not only has to win over customers, but also has to persuade people to buy touring bikes in a country notorious for poor roads. Its track record for infrastructure development is miserable compared with China and most other emerging economies, and its failure on this score has sapped growth.
Most Indians commute using motorcycles or scooters and it is common to see families of four or five on a single vehicle snaking through heavy traffic or even over pavements escaping jams. As the economy slows, two-wheelers comprise the only category of the auto industry to register growth this year.
Sales of motorcycles with an engine displacement of 350 cubic centimeters or less, which make up the bulk of the market, have risen about 3.5 percent so far this fiscal year, show data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).
Sales of more powerful bikes, including those from Harley and Eicher Motors Ltd's Royal Enfield, have doubled over the same period. Industry watchers say strong growth is likely to continue in the medium term, as consumers in the luxury segment are not as vulnerable to the impact of a slowing economy.
Still, high-end motorcycles form a miniscule portion of the Indian two-wheeler market, the world's largest by some estimates with sales of nearly 14 million bikes in the last fiscal year.
Harley, which shipped nearly 250,000 motorcycles globally in 2012, sells about 150 bikes a month through its 10 Indian dealers, according to SIAM.
Triumph, which sold more than 50,000 bikes last year, plans to open at least three showrooms by the end of 2013, in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.
The company, which began life as a bicycle manufacturer in 1887, will assemble some models at its new plant in Manesar, northern India, to save on high import taxes and so keep prices down. It also plans to build a factory in the southern state of Karnataka.
As well as Harleys, Triumph's classic cruisers and sports bikes will also compete with offerings from Honda Motor Co Ltd, Yamaha Motor Co Ltd and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG's BMW Motorrad - plus the lower priced bikes of Royal Enfield.
"We will be an aspirational brand for guys who use (Royal Enfield) bikes," said Sumbly, who was previously with Bajaj Auto Ltd, India's second-largest motorcycle maker.
Asked whether Triumph would design an India-specific bike, Sumbly said, "As the market develops and we see the growth, the company will surely invest more and more in India."

In choosing former Sen. Chuck Hagel as secretary of Defense, has President Obama made an "in your face" appointment, as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) complains? Perhaps. Given criticism of Hagel by supporters of Israel and gay rights groups, his nomination was guaranteed to be controversial. So why did he do it? After deciding not to nominate Susan Rice as secretary of State in the face of GOP opposition, the president may have been determined not to surrender to criticism a second time.
But fascinating as the politics around the nomination may be, now that Hagel has been nominated, the only question for the Senate to decide is whether he is qualified to serve. In making that judgment, senators of both parties owe the president considerable — but not complete — deference.
We will reserve our final judgment about the Hagel nomination until after the conclusion of his Senate confirmation hearings. But there's no question that he is a plausible candidate for secretary of Defense, and the questions that have been raised about his past comments and positions so far don't strike us as disqualifying.
A former two-term Republican from Nebraska, Hagel is widely respected for his expertise in foreign and military affairs. He doesn't have the experience of managing a large organization like the Pentagon, but there is no single model for a secretary of Defense. Some, like Robert S. McNamara,had previously been executives of large corporations; others — such as current Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta — administered other government agencies. Still others have had mostly legislative experience. That was the case with William S. Cohen, the former GOP senator from Maine appointed by President Clinton.

Today's run (my letter to my clients).
I am kind of training for a road marathon these days. That means I do my long runs on roads, speed work and hill work road-related too (actually, I mostly do those quality on roads since I've moved to TX as the trails here are way too rocky to develop good speed needed for that very quality). My trails runs top at 8M each twice a week, one for extra tempo, and one for easy recovery. This morning, since I had to take my son to a school trip, I switched into "easy recovery trail" instead of road 20 (moved into tomorrow). I only planned on that very same 8 (one water bottle and no gel), but as I began, I felt so grateful for the weather cooling down in Austin, for the short "freedom" I got for the next 4 days while my 16 yo is away, for my body, which, while is not in top shape where the weight is concerned, is not giving up and keeps with my antiques of training, and for trails and life in general, so I added in my mind a couple of miles to the run. I don't run with gadgets that measure stuff. The only thing I have is a stop-watch (the cheapest version), and yes, half the time I press the "start" button. I did, today, as well. At the same time, I know my body so well, I don't need heart rate monitor, GPS, pace setting devices - I just know how to pace. I know how my body feels at each and every pace, regardless where I am, road or trail, and how many miles I had put in on my legs without ever measuring the distance ahead of time. So I was there this morning, feeling slowly waking up my legs as I went. I am a "second half" runner. It doesn't matter how long I am going for, somehow my body knows what is "half" for today, and as it approaches that point, the pep gets more spring, and I start smiling. I picked a girl running up the hill. My only agenda for today was to run every step, and as I picked her up, I offered to pace her to the top, chatted up and encouraged. We parted ways as I turned and slowly accelerated. My "half" had passed, and I needed to run. It was getting warmer, despite the first official day of the Fall. My bottle was getting lighter, and I sensed the hunger - and a sugar crave (that gel I don't take for anything sub-90min would have been nice today). But by then I had somehow already decided I want to push the run and make it a personal best. I never aim at PR's when begin my runs, but often decide on the fly it's time to improve a certain route. This one was an old classic I haven't done in almost a year... I glanced at my watch as I exited a park with 1 mile to go. I vaguely thought of my previous best time and there was no way I could do that mile in 6 min - ha, not even on a track in a race of my life! But I didn't let myself to give up. I powered all I had and kept moving. Last part of this loop gets you to the top of a 200 feet climb in about 0.2M, beginning mellow and sharpening at the end. I ran every step of that, and at a couple of steepest points I laughed inside thinking a crawling baby probably would have passed me now. I just kept "running movement", and as I arrived and touched the tree, I pressed my stop-watch. I needed to come home and dig my last year's log book. As it turned out, my best time wasn't what I thought it was, and to my surprise, today I was a mere minute off it. But here is the point of my story to you guys. Anywhere in life, including when training and racing, there is a moment (or few) you will want to back off. What you may want to remember is that you made a commitment. Whether I am your coach, or somebody else - the commitment is not to them. The commitment you make is to yourself, only. Once you made it, don't back off. Give your honest best effort. No matter the outcome in numbers, the feeling you get from it is one of the best.

text: Emily Dec '13 wins top English literature award from Judge Christina Reiss '84 News Home 05.06.13 By: Buff Lindau L to R: Christina Reiss '84, Emily Dec '13, Joan Wry '79 Emily Dec '13, majoring in both English and political science, was awarded a special gift as the top literature student for 2013 at a ceremony held on campus May 3. Every year U.S. District Court of Vermont Chief Judge Christina Reiss '84 awards a clock and a cash gift to a literature student, in honor of her father, the late Dr. John Reiss, a long-time professor of English at Saint Michael's. "Every year my father said there were one or two students who really lit up the semester," Judge Reiss said. She was pleased to give the award to a student who, she learned, had done that for other professors. The ceremony was attended by some 20 Saint Michael's faculty members. Emily Dec, the daughter of Sharlene Dec and the late David Dec, of Ludow, MA, was described by her professor Will Marquess, as "smart, engaged, lively, strong, and very hard-working." Ms. Dec carried out an independent study of Virginia Woolf with Professor Marquess. He referenced a portion of Virginia Woolf's book To the Lighthouse in characterizing Dec: A character is trying to capture a vision in paint: "One wanted, she thought, dipping her brush deliberately, to be on a level with ordinary experience, to feel simply that's a chair, that's a table, and yet at the same time, it's a miracle, it's an ecstasy." Dec was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in April. While a full-time student, she also works locally at Barnes & Noble, and, Professor Marquess said, "Makes wonderful book recommendations."

Immunizations & School Nurse
A student who is ill should remain at home. Students who become ill
or are injured at school should notify their teacher and go directly to
Nurse's office. First-aid will be provided and a parent will be
contacted if necessary. The nurse, depending on the severity of the
case, may call for additional medical assistance. All students are
required to complete and return an Emergency Contact form within
the first week of school in order to contact a parent or guardian in
case of accident or serious illness. Goddard has an R.N. assigned five
days a week. The main function of the school nurse is to provide
health services when needed at school. Also, the nurse screens
students for visual, audio, dental or growth problems and sends
referral notes to parents/guardians if further evaluation is
recommended. The nurse, however, does not diagnose or treat
illness. School personnel are prohibited from dispensing medicine,
including aspirin. Students are discouraged not to bring medication
to school.
If medication must be taken while at school, a medication form
(available in the nurse's office) should be filled out and the medicine
left at the nurse's office. Students must have proof of current
immunizations for school attendance. Shot records must be on file
with the school nurse before students can register and attend

Hi everyone! We've got a special treat for you today – Mathias and Fredrik, our friends at The Astonishing Tribe, have put together a great blog post about the Arduino™ platform. If you're searching for E.T., this might be your best weapon – how? Find out below… – Ed.
Today's consumer devices pack an unparalleled bang-for-your-buck, giving end users blazing-fast and high-performing products. This is more than "fine and dandy" for users in the intended demographic of the device, but what about users like 'The Prototyper,' 'The Hobbyist,' and 'The Startup Techie,' to name a few? You recognize them from their desire to change the way that we use devices; to disrupt the established models; to get their hands dirty and create something new.
Yep, people like us are especially excited by new devices, and in our experience the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet's power and performance has no equal for tinkerers.
With the relative complexity of today's electronics, it's not feasible to start from scratch; you need good building blocks to implement your vision. You'll want to use commercial off- the-shelf (COTS) components as much as possible and you most likely don't want to be bound to a bulky PC.
Fortunately, we have the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. It's a powerful and portable consumer tablet, with a great user interface and an open SDK. We find it is an ideal platform to host your UI, crunch data, and more.
So how do we get started prototyping our ideas with the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet? For electronics concepts: enter Arduino.

Yesterday I got frustrated with all the looking and not finding so I thought I'd change it up to get rid of the boredom. Went on Ancestry.com and started searching member trees for my GGF Daniel Williams' (1852 - 1920) brothers. Started by looking for William who was born 23 Jan 1856 and the youngest offspring of Jane and Thomas. By looking at the Williams family group photo taken in Troy NY about 1890 - 1900 you can just about guess which one is William.
I didn't hold out much hope of finding anything useful on Ancestry member trees, so there was no pressure and I had fun browsing. I always learn something when I browse in a relaxed manner because my mind is free to take notice of random items and develop possible patterns. Ever do that? You're just browsing and you think, hey there sure are a ton of Williams people in Marcy, Oneida County, New York... that's super interesting! And there were.
Along the way I noticed a Ancestry member tree with a photo of a William John Williams born in 1859 in Wales. In the 1910 census he's living with Jane Williams age 74, or 72. That means that Jane was born in 1836 or so and for sure is not our Jane Williams born in 1815. But the photo was interesting. OK, so maybe I wanted to see a family resemblance;)
See what happens when I get bored when I'm looking and not finding!

I have a love/hate relationship with technology. I love what it can do for me and yet hate becoming reliant on it. It never fails: I'll be in the middle of transferring 12 gigs worth of photos and our ftp site will decide to explode. Or trying to print a quick picture only to have the printer run out of ink. Or my home PC will decide to update itself, leaving half the programs I actually use worthless.
When everything works, it's awesome. But lately, I find myself having fewer technically awesome days.
Obviously cars don't evolve in a vacuum and much of their systems are augmented with computers. I'm nervous already. What if a system fails, does it reboot or are you left on the side of the road, or worse?
In truth, the programming carmakers use is 99.9 percent stable. I learned this during a Mercedes tech seminar. They were showing us some sort of tracking device that would compute the trajectories of pedestrians, and decide if they were in danger of being hit. It was pretty neat stuff and I asked what kind of super computer it used to make it work.
He handed me his generic-looking PDA.
It's more dependent on the efficiency of the programming than the processor itself.
Using its cheap little built-in camera I watched the phone screen track everyone in the room. No matter how fast they moved the system kept up, even as a waiter dumped a tray of glasses. It plotted their trajectory right to the floor (didn't really need a computer for that one).
In any case, it was some awesome code. I'm sure it'll find its way into Mercedes products soon.
Almost every modern car has some sort of computer-assisted driver aid be it ESP, ASR, ABS, ASTC, TCS. And while I once bitched about these systems and how they were intrusive, I've since done a 180.
It had just started raining, one of the first downpours of California's mild winter. It wasn't really a downpour per se, more like a steady mist, just enough to mix with compounds on the street (oil, rubber, dust). The first SoCal rain is always the worst, a combination of slippery road grime, deteriorated wipers and drivers unwilling to slow down. In fact, I'm pretty certain rain makes our drivers increase their speed. Maybe they think their car will get less wet or something.
I had merged onto the freeway at 65 mph, a speed I thought was appropriate for the circumstances. Fellow drivers felt differently. I had cars flying by on both sides, at least 25 mph faster. I have a simple rule: I never drive faster than I can see. I guess these folks could see faster.
I saw a flash of brake lights punctuated by screeching rubber. Judging by the swaying brake lights, a couple of SUVs were about to collide. A few people simply hit the throttle in an attempt to get around the ensuing mess and a few (me included) moved to the far right. If I hadn't known better, I'd swear I was watching a drift competitionwhy they hadn't slammed into each other was part of the show.
In truth, I was watching the cars' electronic traction aids come to the rescue. Each vehicle was applying brakes and throttle in an attempt to straighten itself. It was all over in a few seconds and traffic resumed its normal insane pace.
Yes, the traction control systems on these cars were intrusive but I doubt the drivers cared. Several lines of code connected to a few sensors saved them. Not a bad tradeoff.
Still, there are drivers who insist on disabling electronic driver aids. Like the guy who borrowed our long-term 911 Carrera. As he left for a quick testdrive he wanted to know how to switch off the traction control. I pretended not hear it and walked away. Forty-five minutes later we got a call.
Um, better send a flatbed. I, uh, had an incident.
We found him a few miles away. The car looked fine despite the fact all four wheels were floating 3 inches above the ground. He'd managed to jump the center median, leaving the Porsche on a concrete pedestal.
I didn't say anything. He was a stand-up guy and knew he'd be paying for it.
With his head buried in between his arms he said, Oh yeah. I found the traction control system. That was an expensive button to push.

About Shana Lutker
Shana searches flea markets for the old and new.
"I like to think about the complicated journey that objects must have taken to arrive together on a yard sale table."
Sculpture, performance and language are some of the mediums that Shana Lutker uses in her artistic practise. Highly inspired by photographs from the 1880s and 1920s of Paris, flea markets, and libraries, she tries to find ideas and objects that simultaneously feel outdated and relevant for today's society. Lutker's subjects include Sigmund Freud and the interpretation of dreams, and the fistfights of the Surrealists. Her recent solo exhibitions include the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm, and Barbara Seiler Galerie in Zurich. The images Lutker has submitted for Absolut Art play with shapes, and experiment with invented signs and symbols. The result looks at how language, which is functional in design, can be re-purposed and transformed into aesthetic objects as well.

The S&P 500 represents the industry standard for large-cap indices. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) may be the most visible stock market index in the country, the S&P 500 has long been relied on by industry insiders and fund managers as the more reliable gauge of portfolio performance.
While the DJIA is price-weighted and only includes 30 stocks, the S&P 500 uses a weighting system that factors in market cap and the size of a company's free float while including some 500 stocks for a more comprehensive look at the broader markets' performance. Its performance is far more representative of the large- and mega-cap stocks for any period of time.

We offer special software designed to enhance your experience on your AMD-based system. AMD Elite Experiences consist of value-added software – in our drivers, pre-installed or available for free download – that include video enhancement, remote display capability and advanced ways to interact with your system2.
We work directly with computer manufacturers and software partners to help our customers get the best experience out of AMD APU-based mobile (notebook, tablet) systems. We offer value-added software so that you can experience the advantages for yourself. If you do not already have the software on your new AMD APU-based system,
check to see which software is compatible with your system.
All 2013 and newer AMD APU-based mobile OEM systems include some or all of the AMD Elite Experiences. Certain value-added software may be pre-installed and/or is made available for download after purchase if not pre-installed by the OEM/computer manufacturer. The easiest way to check which software is available for your system is to run the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool or look up your APU model number in the chart. See
"How do I find out which software will work with my computer?"
Older AMD APU-based systems (prior to the 2013 A-series APU products) are not eligible for downloadable software.
AMD Elite Experience software is not offered for download on component or desktop systems because the system hardware and specs may not support the software.
You can access the AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool from either 1.) AMD Catalyst™ Control Center on your computer or 2.) Through the AMD
Note: For both methods, an Internet connection is required8.
For your convenience, the AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool is integrated with the driver download so that you receive the latest, optimized files. There are several reasons to install the latest drivers for your system:
Go to the
AMD Graphics Drivers and Software page.
There could be a couple of reasons. First, you might not have a qualifying system. Second, if you do have a qualifying system, the software might not be pre-installed. In that case, you can check the compatibility list below or use the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool to determine which software is available for your system.
AMD Elite Experiences are designed to operate on the latest AMD APU-based mobile systems. The software is compatible with select 2013 and 2014 AMD APUs. Older systems are not eligible for the free software. Download the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool to see if your PC is eligible.
AMD Elite Experience software will either be pre-installed (depending on the manufacturer) or available for free download for qualified systems. AMD software is not available for purchase or download in any app store or other outlet.
Certain standard experience software is provided by the AMD Catalyst driver. Additional experience software is available on other systems based on certain system requirements such as whether they have a camera, microphone, hardware compression engine, etc.
See the chart above for more detail.
The easiest way to check which software is available for your system is to run the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool or look up your APU model number in the chart below.
Some experiences like AMD Perfect Picture are supported directly by AMD. Other software such as AMD Face Login and AMD Gesture Control while AMD branded are developed and supported by third-party software partners. If you have support issues,
AMD Global Customer Care and Technical Support can direct your question to the appropriate team.
AMD Face Login is software that uses a camera and enhanced image processing to recognize if the face in front of the camera matches the database. If there is a match, the program allows access to Windows and certain websites without requiring keying of passwords. AMD Face Login is designed as a convenient tool to help you log into Windows and many popular web sites quickly. It should not be used to protect your computer and personal information from unwanted access.
For AMD APU hardware compatibility, please use the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool.
To use the AMD Face Login software, you will need to log in and log out from websites/Windows manually the first time. The next time you log in, a window will pop up to detect your face automatically.
Here are some tips when using AMD Face Login:
For Windows:
For websites:
Check out the
Getting Started Guide for additional tips and visuals to guide your setup.
Images of faces captured with AMD Face Login can be kept separate for each Windows user account. If you have more than one account in your Windows system and set up AMD Face Login feature for each Windows account separately, AMD Face Login will recognize the most similar face it detects and automatically log in to that Windows account. You are not able to select which Windows account to log in.
AMD Face Login is designed as a convenient tool to help you log into Windows and websites quickly. It should not be used to protect your computer and personal information from unwanted access to a user account.
AMD Face Login is simply an easier way to log in. All account/system-wide policies around data, modification, deletions, etc., are managed by the Microsoft operating system. However, access can be restricted by setting a password for the application so that photo modifications are not possible.
If you are concerned about someone trying to access your system with a photo, select the option to require blinking before recognizing and matching the face. Use the slider to set the accuracy level required to confirm your face. If you set the slider to High, you will have to blink your eyes to log in.
No, AMD Face Login is intended for consumer home use.
A maximum of 40 images can be stored for all user accounts.
If the computer system is to be used in varying light conditions, it is recommended to capture a few images of a single user's face to assist in facial recognition.
AMD Face Login for websites does not work for IE10 in Windows 8 in the "desktop" mode. The facial recognition technology of AMD Face Login for website login is designed to work with desktop apps – which traditionally don't support Metro mode.
AMD Face Login will automatically ask you if you want to use your face next time you log in to supported websites. You will need to confirm the password for each account/website you set up. AMD Face Login treats websites with different URLs as different Web pages. AMD Face Login works best with websites that have simple login functionality. Websites for online banking, for example, are likely to not work as they have enhanced security measures in place.
AMD Face Login doesn't support web sites that require more than three types of user information to log in (ID + email + password) or web sites that require automated verification codes (CAPTCHA) to sign in. For security reasons, AMD Face Login does not work for banking or e-purchasing web sites.
AMD Gesture Control is software that utilizes advanced real-time image processing and machine vision algorithms to track a user's hand gestures and convert them into commands. These commands are then used to control functions and software within the device, creating a more natural user interaction.
For AMD APU hardware requirements, please use the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool
AMD Gesture Control can be used with many standard programs such as Windows Media Player, Windows Photo and Fax Viewer, Adobe Acrobat (e-reader), Windows e-reader (Metro mode), Windows 8 Metro UI and Microsoft PowerPoint. In addition to this list, other applications can be added and customized. Review the Gesture Composer instructions within the AMD Gesture Control application for more information about how to add gesture control to additional programs.
What each gesture controls can vary by application. AMD Gesture Control includes a tutorial to explain which operations may be available in a variety of programs. In the tutorial you will learn standard gestures for presentations, multimedia, e-readers, photos, mouse and volume control.
Users can customize the mapping of the following gestures to any standard Windows "short key."
When AMD Gesture Control is running, a system-tray icon is visible. Right-click on the icon and select "Preferences." Check/uncheck "Start with Windows" as desired.
AMD Quick Stream was created to make video viewing experiences better. The application helps prioritize and manage software in a bandwidth-constrained environment. Normal operating systems can handle simple scenarios where there is plenty of bandwidth – but as soon as there is more bandwidth needed than is available, software can get bogged down. Sensitive software like video streaming and voice-over-IP (VoIP) are often impacted the most and result in "stuttering." AMD Quick Stream has the built‐in intelligence to identify the highest priority software for the user and allow it to use the available bandwidth much more efficiently – helping reduce stuttering.
AMD Quick Stream works very well when multiple software applications access the network simultaneously. AMD Quick Stream's benefit will be minimal or unnoticeable if there is sufficient bandwidth to run all simultaneously running software applications. Bandwidth prioritization is maximized when software is competing for limited or constrained bandwidth.
For AMD APU hardware compatibility, please use the
AMD Catalyst™ Auto Detect tool
The latest version of the software provides user‐configurable profiles and content‐type application prioritization. Through the user-friendly graphical user interface, you can create customized profiles where you can prioritize your most important applications and decide for yourself which applications deserve the most bandwidth.
Yes, AMD Quick Stream works to prioritize network bandwidth across all connections.
AMD Quick Stream will work with network ports including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and FTPS.
AMD Perfect Picture is a set of optimizations and settings designed to improve and provide controls for video quality. Depending on your driver version, options are available for basic and advanced color, video quality, AMD Steady Video, global video quality, accelerated video conversion and more.
AMD Perfect Picture is included in the AMD driver for all AMD APU-based systems. Video quality options may vary based on APU and driver version.
Open AMD Catalyst™ Control Center by right-clicking on your desktop and click "Video."
Check out the
Getting Started Guide for additional tips and visuals to get started.
AMD Steady Video is advanced video post-processing that helps reduce the "shake" in real-time video playback. It does not change the original video files. Check out the
Getting Started Guide for additional tips and visuals.
Depending on your APU and driver version, AMD Perfect Picture gives you controls and settings for:
AMD Wireless Display allows a computer to send up to 1080p HD video and 5.1 surround sound to a Miracast-compatible TV, projector or streaming media player. The protocol uses a direct Wi-Fi connection between two devices without involvement of a wireless router and cannot be used to stream to a router access point.
Miracast is an industry standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance®. It is incorporated into the Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system.
AMD Wireless Display requires Windows 8. From the desktop
Check out the
Getting Started Guide for additional tips and visuals to guide your setup.For more information about Windows and Miracast, visit
Yes, AMD Wireless Display supports DRM (digital rights managed) content such as DVDs and streaming video.
Yes, audio is transmitted to the display along with video.
AMD Screen Mirror uses your home network; it does not require a receiver/dongle. It does require having a smart display device (set top box, game console, smart TV, etc.) on your home network that you can push to. It is only able to mirror or duplicate your screen to a smart device – you cannot extend your screen. Also, it does not play protected content such as DVDs or Blu-ray.
AMD Wireless Display does not need a home network or a smart device – it connects with a Miracast-compliant wireless receiver which is hooked up to (or embedded in) a display. It can play protected content and you can extend your display – thus supporting different views on each screen.
AMD Screen Mirror was pre-installed on some 2013 AMD APU-based mobile systems. See your system specifications from the manufacturer to determine if your computer has this software already included.
AMD Screen Mirror is not available for download.
It is conceivable, but unlikely, that both AMD Screen Mirror and AMD Wireless Display could both be installed on the same system. At this time, we are not aware of any computer manufacturer choosing to pre-install AMD Screen Mirror on systems running Windows 8.1.


text: Suwanee, GA –For years Alloy USA has been the predominant supplier of Chromoly axles for off road enthusiasts looking to increase their axle strength and spline count. Now Alloy USA is using this same great forging technology to produce 4140 Chromoly axles in stock spline counts. Built with the occasional off-roader in mind, these great axles offer unparalleled strength both on and off road, but without the added expense of having to upgrade to a 30-spline differential. High tensile strength 4140 Chromoly is heat-treated twice and induction hardened to produce these heavy-duty axles that are up to 35% stronger than stock 1040 axles. The shafts are then precision CNC machined and magnaflux inspected for cracks before receiving a slick black anodized finish. Each axle shaft is backed by Alloy USA's exclusive ten-year warranty! Our axle shaft kits include everything you need to complete the job: both passenger and drive side axle shafts, seals, bearings and wheel studs.

Don't Trust This Man To Protect Your Identity
Todd Davis is in the identity-protection business, which is why it's especially ridiculous his own identity has been stolen 13 times. And it's not the first dumb thing his company LifeLock has done.
We've written about LifeLock before. Three years ago, the story was how company owners allowed the company to be run by a founder who failed to pay gambling debts, was arrested, and was banned from working in the credit-repair industry by the Feds. Whoops.
LifeLock's investors got rid of that guy and eventually installed as CEO one Todd Davis, who brazenly plastered his social security number on billboards and his company website as proof of his company's effectiveness:
Here's how that worked out: Davis' identity was stolen for a $500 check-cashing loan; Davis' identity was stolen for $2,390 worth of AT&T Wireless service; Davis' identity was stolen for seven fraudulent loans; Davis' identity was stolen for $186 in Verizon service; Davis' identity was stolen for $122 in Texas utility service; Davis' identity was stolen for $573 from Credit One Bank; Davis' identity was stolen for $312 in gift baskets, somehow.
There are an additional five accounts in collections, seeking a total of $1,316 from Davis' stolen identity. All this is from Wired's summary of a story in Phoenix New Times.
And this modest piece of advice is from us: Do not buy identity-protection services from LifeLock. It does not protect identities very well. Just put the $10 per month in savings and keep your social security number as close as you possibly can.
