"I would like to reach out to you with the good news that I have been hired full-time by MLB to work in the Baseball Operations department, focusing on On-Field Operations. It has been a grind and one of the greatest struggles of my life, but it finally paid off! We have a great story to tell at this year's Summit!!"

"I attended the First Annual Summit in Chicago (July 2012). I was able to meet HR representatives and other employees from all 30 teams. From there, I started as a Ticket Services Associate for the Boston Red Sox. I was fortunate enough to be with the organization during the 2013 Championship season and it was an incredible experience. Last September, I moved to NYC to start as a Marketing Coordinator for MLB Advanced Media. None of this would be possible if I did not take advantage of the Summit! I have been fortunate to be a part of two baseball organizations that have made me feel completely welcome as a lesbian minority female and I could not be more grateful for it."

I was sponsored for the past two years to attend the MLB Diversity Summit. My summit success story was not from an interview, but from riding the same bus to the ball park at the right time with the Minor League President Pat O'Connor. I am now employed by the Urban Youth Academy in Compton teaching softball to youth of all ages. The summit was an absolutely amazing experience and anyone interested in a career in baseball should attend."

"It has been one week since the Diversity Business Summit has came to a close, and to my surprise, I am still experiencing a great deal of residual excitement. All 30 clubs under one roof, with both owner's and execs expressing such commitment and enthusiasm...it was truly inspirational. I was both honored and thankful to have been a part of it all...it enhanced my pride as an American and fortified my faith in my country...it was phenomenal!"

"The Diversity Business Summit was a tremendous experience that has not only benefitted me, but has also provided an opportunity for countless job-seekers in attaining employment in the business of baseball. As an attendee of the 2012 event and a panelist at the 2013 event, I can whole-heartedly say that this is the most opportune experience anyone can acquire no matter their level of interest. Whether you are a job candidate, a supplier, or someone simply who appreciates the game, this is something that you cannot afford to miss. I have reveled in my experience and I hope others seek to share the success I have gained from it."

"I was given the opportunity to attend the first MLB Diverse Business Summit in Chicago the summer of 2012 and it was a great experience. After the Business Summit, I continued to network with sports professionals that I had met while in Chicago. A few months later, I received an email from the Philadelphia Phillies requesting that I come in for an interview. My interview went extremely well and I was offered an internship as a Ticket Service Representative. Working in the ticket office has been a great experience for me to meet different people and work hands on in a professional sports environment."

Are you thinking about exclusively pumping breast milk for your baby? When I started out, I had no idea what I was doing and pieced together information from internet searches. Here is all of the information you need – in one place – about how to exclusively pump breast milk.
How do I start? I have no idea how to exclusively pump.
How you get started depends on how old your baby is. If your baby is a newborn, the number of times per day and how long you will need to pump each time is different that if you have an older baby. Read this if you have a newborn (0-3 months old), and this if your baby is older. Here are some sample pumping schedules.
Once you've expressed your milk, here are guidelines for storing and using it.
What do I need?
The one thing you definitely need is a breast pump – preferably a double electric one (and hopefully covered by insurance)! I wrote about my opinions of some of the different Medela models here. (I used four different kinds over my breastfeeding career, by coincidence all Medela.) I also did an experiment with a Medela Freestyle and a Pump in Style here to see which got me more milk.
There is a also lot of gear that can make the hours upon hours that you spend pumping much, much easier, especially a hands-free bra.
I'm not pumping enough milk. What should I do?
Fear not! There are lots of things that you can do to get your milk supply up. I wrote up a long post (and a more detailed ebook) about what you can do (what you can eat, herbs you can take, etc.) to increase your supply one about how to get the most milk out of each session (compressions, etc.), and one about how to get additional letdowns. Finally, I tried an experiment to see if eating oatmeal would increase my milk supply (it did).
If you're experiencing supply drops when you get your period, here are some things that you can do to try to mitigate the issue.
If you need to supplement with formula, here is how to do it if you are exclusively pumping.
This is really hard. How can I make my life easier?
It is hard, but there are so many little things that you can do to make it easier. Also, if you need to care for your child while you pump, here are some ideas to make it work.
Here are some tips on setting up a "pumping station" so that everything you need is in one place.
If you're thinking about dropping a pumping session to make things easier, I put together a flowchart to help you decide whether or not to go for it.
I have too much milk or need to stop pumping.
I wrote up how-tos on dropping pumps, decrease your milk supply in general, or wean from the pump.
If you're weaning from the pump, here is information on transitioning your baby off of breast milk.
If you'd like to donate your extra milk, here is how to donate it to a milk donation bank and here is how I did it more informally.
I want to lose weight. What do I need to know?
I wrote a four part series about losing weight while breastfeeding, including how to find out how many calories you burn while breastfeeding, challenges that breastfeeding moms face while losing, exercising while breastfeeding, and my experience losing weight on Weight Watchers.
I'm having nipple pain or breast pain. What is going on and how can I make it stop?
Having breast pain as an exclusive pumper is the worst since you can't take a break from pumping – you have to keep doing it every couple of hours regardless. Here are some tips for: clogged ducts, mastitis, galactoceles, thrush, and general nipple pain.
What else should I know?
You should definitely know how to (safely) pump and drive, pump in public, travel with breast milk, and pump and fly. Tracking your output and milk stash with an app can be really helpful – here are my review of the apps currently out there. Here is how to rotate your freezer stash.
Also, I get a lot of emails from exclusive pumpers about how to exclusively pump breast milk, and I put together a FAQ of the questions I get most often.
If you're feeling alone, try reading some exclusive pumping stories from other exclusive pumpers.
Finally, you are doing an awesome job, and you deserve to celebrate your hard work; breastmilk jewelry can be an awesome way to do it.
Good luck! Feel free to join the Facebook group if you have any additional questions on how to exclusively pump! Also, you should definitely follow me on Pinterest and Facebook for updates, fun stuff, and support!

now, about that. what I meant (and mean) by my original comment is that rather than making a new piece that can be used in other things they make something to specific (take, pretty much the whole bionicle line). well, I didn't mean anything insulting by that post.LEGO wouldn't be LEGO if they didn't include new pieces with each new batch of sets.

Scientists may have discovered the secret to avoiding the fiscal cliff: Happiness.
Regardless of whether money can buy happiness, being happy may actually make you more money down the road, new research finds.
People who express more positive emotions as teenagers and greater life satisfaction as young adults tend to have higher incomes by the time they're 29, according to a study published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The difference was so great that when measuring life satisfaction on a 5-point scale, a 1-point jump at age 22 made a $2,000 difference in income down the line. Between the gloomiest and the happiest brackets, that amounts to an $8,000 earnings swing.

I have been making a start on the data for my One Name Study.
I've now transcribed properly all the TILLINs in the birth indices from 1837 to 1915 (transcribed by FreeBMD but accessed via Ancestry.co.uk). I've also transcribed any TILLINGs and TILLENs if they appeared on the same page as I think they are common misspellings or possible derivatives. I will need to come back to this record set at some point to make sure I've transcribed all the people who have a mother with TILLIN as their maiden name.
It's been quite satisfying to realise that I already had records of most of them - maybe from a census - but it feels good to have a proper list.
The next record set I'm going to tackle is the Births Indices for 1916-2005. These will take longer due to the maiden names.
I am adding each record to my Family Historian tree and allocating a Custom ID to each individual so that I can hopefully tie up individuals over time. Do you have a Custom ID method? Where do you keep your records? How do you collect data from Record Sets?

Snowkiting this Saturday
Winter snowkiting topics and locations.
Moderator: BayAreaKite
Snowkiting this Saturday
Looks like some pretty strong w/sw win din Tahoe Saturday. Anyone up for hooking up for snowkiting? I've never tried it before so I'd prefer to go with someone who has. Also where's the best place for the forecasted wind direction? Red Lakes peak? Thanks in advance for the beta.
Team rider for Sheldon Kiteboarding and North
Windy. Cloudy with a chance of snow. Highs 29 to 39. Southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. Ridge gusts up to 85 mph.
OK - Red Lakes Peak is a ridge. It is somewhere you go when the winds are light everywhere. You go on a day like Saturday if you want to get blown into Gardnerville...of course you prbably would figure that out half way up the hike.
SW is the standard direction and as it looks like it's a pretty decent forecast, if the coverage is decent you can go to just about any of the sites in south shore at lower elevations.
It does scare me a bit that people talk like this though. Snow kiting is fun and easy but if you make a bad weather/condition decision up there, things could be over for you quickly.
When you read 85mph gusts on the ridges...that should scare you! There will be some wicked gusts at the lower elevations with those type winds too so be prepared. It's standard Tahoe SW...just know it ain't Delta SW.
Gabe Brown
sometimes Gary Bronson...
Gabe, thanks. I didn't read the 85mph on the ridges. Obviously no one in their right mind would launch a kite in that. Also since I'm not familiar with the "normal" Tahoe conditions is exactly why I want to meet up with someone who is.
Anyone know if there is coverage at grass lake? That would be my preferred location since I could do a bc run on waterhouse peak if the wind doesn't thrill me for snowkiting. I figured since grass lake is on the east side of the peak, the wind wouldn't make it there.
Team rider for Sheldon Kiteboarding and North
Grass Lake and Hope Valley are lower elevation, so they get less snow and it melts quicker. I haven't been up to Tahoe yet, but if it hasn't been butt cold every day, the 3 ft. of snow they've gotten on the mountains might not still be around down low.
aka Pablito
It says 10M, but it's really a 9.
I'm pretty sure Grass Lake would be a go and Waterhouse is a good back-up plan. Maybe stay away from the very middle of the lake if it looks like coverage is thin but it's a shallow lake so you're pretty safe...especially if you stay away from the obvious thin spots. Grass lake gets very little sun at this time of year so whatever snow has stuck will likely still be there. Just know that the winds often come and go at Grass lake so if it dies on you, wait a few minutes before you start your long hike back across the lake. You can often get back on puffs. It may take a while but even if you come in downwind and make it to the road. It's better than having to hike across the lake.
Gabe Brown
sometimes Gary Bronson...
I just talked with Dave at TMS and he's up at Tahoe Meadows (aka Mt Rose) right now. He said the conditions are pretty good to snowkite and it should be good tomorrow. I'm trying to get some beta on tomorrow's wind forecast. Gabe... where did you find the forecast for Saturday?
Count me in for this weekend! I'm down to meet up and try for a session. Grass Lake could be good spot as well. Let try to finallize this tonight.
85mph?? sweet.. my smallest kite is a 16m.. can someone give me a launch?

I was up at Sugarbowl a month or so ago and some locals were telling me that people kite in the frozen lake/meadow in the valley next to Soda Springs.
It looks like a pretty big area.

Arctic Monkeys | WIG188 | Released: 03/06/07
You could never accuse Arctic Monkeys of making anything easy for themselves.
Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, topped every end-of-year poll going, and became the fastest-selling debut in British chart history. Those are just the facts. But revolutions are about more than mere facts; and this rewired a generation, broke the boundaries between the moshpit and the dancefloor, invalidated the whole concept of celebrity culture to become that rarest of things, a smash hit with its soul intact. Most bands take years to whip up that sort of acclaim.
How could even these four talented young men hope to follow that? Forgive us for stating the obvious, but you go and make a better one. Arctic Monkeys had actually started work on 'WPSIA,TWIN' with Simian Mobile Disc's James Ford and Mike Crossey, before they'd really become producers du jour, but for one reason or another, the sessions were abandoned and the job was completed by Jim Abiss. But sensing kindred spirits – and with a renewed sense of confidence in their instincts after everything went so spectacularly right first time – they returned to their old mentors, whose star had risen in line with their own over the previous two years. "I think it was very obvious from when we did that first session that it was sound with them," affirms Alex, "they understood it." "And," adds Jamie, "they're not much older than us really."
After locking themselves away from the world first time round, the band decided to record in Miloco Studios in Shoreditch, East London, "getting all new rave in East London," says Matt, slyly. The experience saw them embrace full flow of the city, going out, living life and even having a bit of a party. "I think you can really hear it in the snare sound!" jokes Matt, but he's closer to the truth than he thinks.
The other big change within the ranks of Arctic Monkeys was the introduction of old friend Nick O'Malley on bass halfway through last year. This, too, was taken in everybody's stride. "I'd known them all since I was 10 years old," says Nick of his new bandmates. "We've all lived in the same area, so it wasn't like coming into a band where I didn't know what they'd be like. It's just been a laugh really, it's been fine."
So with the numbers back up, it's time for Act 2. 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' is everything you hoped Arctic Monkeys would do next. Not so much a sequel as an upgrade, a breakneck technicolour journey through screwball punk and guitar-fuelled dancefloor heroics, it's very, very fast and very, very loud; a brilliant racket that proves there's infinitely more to Arctic Monkeys than writing pretty little ditties. Yet at the same time boasting some of the strongest songs they've ever written.
Musically at least, it follows on from the last songs they wrote from 'Whatever…'; 'View From The Afternoon', 'From The Ritz To The Rubble' and 'Vampires'. A fast and throbbing record was always part of the plan. They did have slow songs, but as Alex points out, "they were never as much fun in the rehearsal room or whatever so why do them? I'd rather make an album like that that's exciting. I don't really want to make it sound like we've 'grown up'."
There's little danger of that, with the band being only exactly a year older than they were when they made the first one. But they've seen a lot of the world in that time, seen things neither you or I could ever believe. And no, they haven't gone and made a fame record, having done an admirable job of avoiding that particular circus. It doesn't quite tell the stories of riot vans and High Green undesirables. As Alex points out, "we still do a lot of the same things. We just do them in different countries."
And Alex's razorsharp-wit is on tantalising form. Take Brian, the flash, insufferable anti-hero of Morricone-gone-drill'n'bass opening shot 'Brianstorm'. Whether through bad memory or good manners, they won't reveal his true identity, but scummy men, it seems, come in all shapes and sizes. Alex remembers: "What happened were we met this guy, and when he left the room we were a bit freaked out by his presence, so we did like a brainstorm for what he was like, drew a little picture and wrote things about him."
"He was right weird," shudders Jamie Cook. "He just appeared with, like, a business card…" "… and like a round neck T-shirt and a tie loosely round it, I'd never seen that before. It felt like he were trying to get inside your mind. We were checking out his attire, freaked out. He definitely left a mark on us. He might have been a magician. He might even be here now. But if we ever found out who he was, it might spoil it."
And despite how far you go, the songs have found that life's quibbles don't really change wherever you go. 'D Is For Dangerous' – the source of the line 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' itself – is a typically colourful tale of 'dirty little herberts' and their sexual politics where insecurity is no barrier to promiscuity, of "desperately trying to recreate what was only three quarters of an hour ago." The prickly 'Balaclava', meanwhile finds that the innocent punch-ups of 'Riot Van' have given way to something more sinister.
Elsewhere, Alex lets the listener deeper into his own soul. The album's pop centrepiece 'Fluorescent Adolescent' talks sharply of fishnets and boy-slags and 'little books of sextips' and remembering 'when you used to be a rascal'. It's the story of "somebody that once you thought was amazing, and turns out not to be." And what started as "a pisstake song we were just having a laugh with," has turned into a bigger tune than you could ever imagine. A disco-inflected cousin of 'Mardy Bum' with 'Festival Anthem of 2007' tattooed all over it in gaudy pink and green.
Still intact is Alex's knack of spinning magic out of the mundane. Emotional centre 'The Only Ones Who Know' sounds like the tenderest song of longing; but, insists Alex it dates back to an innocuous story of two newcomers to the city one Fresher's Week. "There was this girl and this lad, who had obviously been lumped together, and they just asked us, it was like Sunday night, 'where's good to go to tonight?' I wrote that about them."
But such a simple request for directions stirred a romantic spirit in Alex, who, hoping they would be 'holding hands by New Year's Eve' made it 'harder to believe that true romance can't be achieved these days'." Maybe they've got married by now. Then there's the "goodbye songs," the energetic Wizard-of-Oz fairytale 'Old Yellow Bricks' ("Dorothy was right though") and the plaintive '505'. Perhaps their most daring work yet, it weaves golden swathes of spidery guitar around a plaintive Alex, winding his way through hotel corridors, crooning in anticipation of the adventures ahead. But more of those on the next album.
But if Favourite Worst Nightmare belongs to anybody it's the band themselves – all four of them this time – not just the funny one who writes songs about girls on dancefloors. From 'This House Is A Circus' supercharged waltz, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Duran Duran reference in tribute to 'Dancefloor' to the dense prog (yes, prog) of the stultifying 'If You Were There, Beware' (which begins like the end of 'Vampires' then only gets madder), it's the sound of four men gorging themselves on musical possibility, informed as much by (off the top of their heads), Prodigy, ESG, Shocking Blue and Release The Beast as any of their indie comrades. "Thinking of the music we've heard since we made the first record," says Alex, "we'd heard fuck all really."
Next up, recreating such fast and furious songs live is going to test every fibre of their being (Matt has even taken up boxing to have any hope of surviving the tours), but with barely a moment to catch their breath, the Arctic Monkeys are ready for action. Again. How do you follow up one of the most adored albums of all time? Simple. You make an even better one. No-one ever said it was going to be easy.

I don't like to take chances. I grew up in a city that was less than friendly to the people that lived there. A day or night didn't go by that I wasn't exposed to the sound of gun shots outside my window or the shouts of people fighting or even hearing of a neighbor being robbed. Even our home was robbed twice back to back resulting in the loss of nearly every single electronic device in the house. It was a terrible place to grow up. After moving I looked for the best home security in Fort Worth – I wasn't going to allow myself to be a victim again.
It's a terrible way to live. The constant fear, I mean. Living night after night with one eye open and your body tense with the readiness to respond at the slightest noise. Continue reading How to Keep Ourselves Safe

SANTA FE - Acequia irrigation systems are an essential part of New Mexico agriculture along the Rio Grande River. They are not just watering systems, but are intrinsic to the society and culture of the communities in the Rio Grande valley.
New Mexico State University and the Rio Grande Basin Initiative will host the first Acequia Hydrology Symposium on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the Santa Fe County Fair Building to report the results of research on the hydrology of these traditional watering systems. Presentations will address both technical and socio-cultural aspects of acequias along the Rio Grande.
"The main thing the research has shown is that acequias seem to have a lot of value for New Mexico operating the way they have for decades," said Sam Fernald, NMSU associate professor of watershed management. "We've gathered the science behind it and are finding that the systems are good."
Fernald will present a report of his research team's six-year study of the hydrology of acequia-irrigated valleys. "We're finding that there are a lot of features in these systems that support the hydrological ecosystem. The biggest one is that the seepage from the ditches recharges the ground water and eventually returns to the river later in the season. This is actually good for the downstream water users because water comes later in the season when they need it most," he said.
Other presenters will discuss additional topics related to acequia systems' impact, including riparian areas, wildlife habitat, greenery esthetics and culture.
Presenters will include Steve Guldan, professor at NMSU's Sustainable Agriculture Science Center at Alcalde; Michael Cox, Indiana University; Jose Rivera, University of New Mexico; Craig Roepke, Interstate Steam Commission; Carlos Ochoas, NMSU resource specialist; and Yeliz Cevik, NMSU graduate student.
"Lots of conferences by acequia groups talk about the practicality of managing the systems, said Fernald. "Our perspective is what does the research tell us about these systems."
The symposium is open to community irrigators, Extension agents, water policy specialists, hydrologists, legislators, public land and water managers and the general public.
It will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the Santa Fe County Fair Building, 3229 Rodeo Road, Santa Fe. The symposium registration fee is $15.
A tour of local acequia systems will be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22. The tour fee is $70, and participants must register for it by Sept. 21.
For more information and to register, visit http://aces.nmsu.edu/acequiahydrology or contact Selina Trujillo at (505) 852-4241.

This chapter describes issues associated with Oracle Web Cache. It includes the following topics:
This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 10.1.1, "Reset the Random Password Generated When Installing Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer"
Section 10.1.2, "Running Oracle Web Cache Processes as a Different User Is Not Supported"
For enhanced security, no default hard-coded passwords are used for managing Oracle Web Cache.
When you install the Oracle Web Tier installation type, the Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to choose a password. The Web Cache Administrator page of the Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to enter a password for the
administrator account. The
administrator account is the Oracle Web Cache administrator authorized to log in to Oracle Web Cache Manager and make configuration changes through that interface.
When you install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer, the prompt for the
administrator password is missing. Instead, the Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer install type uses a random value chosen at install time.
Regardless of the installation type, before you begin configuration, change the passwords for these accounts to a secure password. If you are configuring a cache cluster, all members of the cluster must use the same password for the
administrator account.
To change the password, use the Passwords page of Fusion Middleware Control, as described in "Configuring Password Security" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Web Cache.
Running Oracle Web Cache as a user other than the installed user through the use of the
webcache_setuser.sh setidentity command is not supported.
Specifically, you cannot change the user ID with the following sequence:
Change the process identity of the Oracle Web Cache processes in the Process Identity page using Oracle Web Cache Manager (Properties > Process Identity).
Use the
webcache_setuser.sh script as follows to change file and directory ownership:
webcache_setuser.sh setidentity user_ID
user_ID is the user you specified in the User ID field of the Process Identity page.
Restart Oracle Web Cache using
Oracle Web Cache will start and then immediately shut down.
In addition, messages similar to the following are displayed in the event log:
[2009-06-02T21:22:46+00:00] [webcache] [ERROR:1] [WXE-13212] [logging] [ecid: ] Access log file /scratch/webtier/home/instances/instance1/diagnostics/logs/WebCache/webcache1/access_log could not be opened.

Fraud: We All Pay!
The Medicaid and Public Assistance Fraud Strike Force was
created during the 2010 Legislative Session to increase the
effectiveness of programs and initiatives that work to
prevent, detect and prosecute Medicaid and public assistance
fraud. CFO Atwater serves as Chair and Attorney General
Bondi serves as Vice Chair of the 11-member Strike Force.
For more than a decade, Medicaid has been the fastest
growing item in many state budgets. Florida's Medicaid
program accounts for 25 percent, or approximately $20
billion, of the state's budget. The level of fraud is
estimated to account for up to 10 percent of the Medicaid
budget. State economists indicate that Medicaid is the
state's biggest cost driver, with projected increases
possibly exceeding $400 million this year. From 2005 through
2010, the Public Assistance Fraud Unit referred $18 million
in program benefits fraud for prosecution. So far this
fiscal year, the unit has received approximately 24,000
referrals for suspected public assistance fraud.
It is CFO Atwater's goal through the Strike Force to
bring all the parties to the table to ensure that the cheats
and thieves that are taking Floridians' hard-earned money
end up behind bars.
EBT Card and SNAP Fraud cheat all Floridians. Learn more in these three videos for participants, vendors and the public. The videos are presented in English, Spanish and Creole.

Template:Nihongo is the second episode of Pokémon the Series: XY.
Episode Plot编辑
Serena, a young girl from Vaniville Town, is learning how to ride her mother's Rhyhorn. Unfortunatly, she ends up getting thrown off, getting scratches on her face when she lands. She claims to hate the training soon after.
Meanwhile, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie arrive at Professor Sycamore's lab with the injured Froakie. The professor claims that the Froakie belonged to a trainer, and that the trainer wished to give up Froakie. Ash and company later find out that Froakie doesn't listen to it's trainer during battle, and often runs away. This particular trainer is also just one of many other trainers that have returned the troublesome water Pokémon back to Sycamore. Ash and company soon meet Garchomp, a Pokémon that lives at the lab. Sycamore says that Garchomp "has a good heart".
Professor Sycamore later brings Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie to the greenhouse that is home to many Pokémon like Zigzagoon and Azurill. Sycamore explains that he is studying Mega Evolution, a new type of evolution available to many fully evolved Pokémon. Jessie, James, and Meowth hear Sycamore from the roof of the greenhouse, and hatch a scheme. They disguise as scientists and enter the lab. Garchomp, the healed Froakie and one of Sycamore's assistants confront Team Rocket. James latches a mechanism around Garchomp's neck, hoping to control Garchomp. However, Garchomp goes on a rampage, sending Team Rocket blasting off and causing the enraged Pokémon to escape the lab. Ash and friends follow Garchomp into the streets of Lumiose City. The city is put under a state of emergency, and Garchomp's rampage is being broadcasted live on television. Serena and her mother watch the scene unfold on the TV.
Garchomp flies up to Prism Tower. Clemont helps Ash access a staircase at the back of Prism Tower, but one of Garchomp's stray Hyper Beams seperate Clemont and Bonnie from Ash, Pikachu, and Froakie. Ash makes his way up Prism Tower, and attempts to negotiate with Garchomp. The enraged Pokémon flies up to the highest platform of Prism Tower, and Ash climbs up a ladder to meet Garchomp face to face. Ash once again attempts to talk to Garchomp, who breaks out of it's rage for a split second before unleashing it's fury again. Ash grabs Garchomp, allowing Pikachu to use Iron Tail and shatter the collar. Garchomp collapses in a tired state, and as Pikachu and Froakie are making their way to Ash, the platform under Pikachu crumbles. Ash dives after his partner, much to the dismay of Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, and Sycamore. Ash is grabbed mid-air by the Mega Blaziken he saw in the before, and is safety escorted to the ground by the Pokémon. Mega Blaziken jumps back to it's masked trainer, and the two disappear. Ash yells after Blaziken, thanking the Mega Pokémon for it's help.
The next day, Sycamore gives Ash his Kalos Pokédex. Ash is also greeted by Froakie, who wishes to come with him on his journey. Ash accepts Froakie into his team, earning him his first Pokémon in Kalos.
The episode ends with Serena feeding Rhyhorn and remembering a younger version of Ash that she believes is the same boy she saw on TV.
- Human
Serena sees Ash on television and recognizes him as someone she knows and her flashback reveals she knew Ash before he became a trainer.

Investigators believe the child known as "Baby Hope" was tortured before she was sexually assaulted and smothered to death 22 years ago, at times tied to a table and denied water in the Queens apartment where she was killed, according to law enforcement sources.
Another girl who said she was also tortured in that home witnessed most of the brutality against the child, sources said, and has been shedding light on her last days.
On Saturday police said they had solved the mystery of the decades-old cold case, arresting a cousin of Baby Hope, whose real name was Anjelica Castillo, for allegedly killing the girl and dumping her in a a cooler in the woods in upper Manhattan in 1991.
The 52-year-old cousin, Conrado Juarez, was arrested and charged with felony murder.
Attorney information for Juarez was not immediately available.
A resident of the building where Juarez lived in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx said he was shocked to learn his neighbor could have committed such a crime.
"He looked like a nice gentleman, quiet," said Stan Pullen. "Very disturbing and so close to home."
The girl's body was found by construction workers on July 23, 1991 along the Henry Hudson Parkway near Dyckman Street.
Her identity was not known until last week. Detectives in the cold case had paid for her headstone, inscribing it with the message "Because We Care." By Sunday, someone had put her real name on the headstone.
Investigators launched a renewed push this summer for leads in the case, and it was amid that publicity for "Baby Hope" that a tipster contacted police, saying she thought she might know the child's sister, now an adult.
That tip led detectives to relatives of the girl, and eventually her mother. This week, the child's real name was finally learned.
Police said Anjelica was staying with Juarez's sister because her parents had recently split up.
A law enforcement official told NBC 4 New York that the mother claims she lived in fear of the baby's father and was afraid to go to police after her daughter disappeared. Her mother is believed to live in Elmhurst.

My husband and I have always loved looking back at the "good old days". We have spent most of our married life traveling around the world with the USAF. Sometimes we felt as if we had no roots at all. Our two boys grew up as "military brats". We had a wonderful life but they did not have a grandpa and grandma close by. It is an adjustment that all military families have to deal with.
Looking back at our family history is our way of showing them …….yes……we do have roots…….these are "our people". We have just started this fascinating journey and each day a little tid bit of information opens another door.

Step Up Revolution
07.25.2012 | By Karen Posada | No Comments">No Comments
If you've seen any of the movies from the 'Step Up' series then you know exactly what to expect from 'Step Up Revolution'. The only thing this movie offers is entertainment in the form of dance; don't except any deep dialogue, gripping twists, or great acting. I saw the 3D format of the film and besides some splashing water, sparks and people popping out of the screening here and there there's no reason to invest in it. This movie follows the exact same footsteps as its predecessors, so if you are up for watching some amazing dance moves and nothing more, then you can enjoy this movie for what it is.
Emily (Kathryn McCormick) wants to join a dance academy and become a professional dancer. She happens to meet Sean (Ryan Guzman) who works as a waiter in a luxurious Miami hotel and spends his free-time pulling flash mobs with his underground dance crew called "the mob". Dance is their connection and when Emily's father, Mr. Anderson (Peter Gallagher) business mogul, wants to destroy The Mob's historic neighborhood to build a luxury complex; they realize they must turn their performance art into protest art.
The movie of course tries to use its overly predictable dramatic moments as much as possible, especially when it comes to the love story. The biggest twist in the film has no real effect as it is known all along. Although this film has a Latin mix to it there's only one salsa sequence, which was disappointing, this is certainly something it could have exploited more. The worst part about the storyline is the mixed message it sends at the end, where "revolution" is merely a word that can be wiped off easily.
Guzman who has a Mexican background, is a heartthrob and may be even better looking than Channing Tatum; he certainly has jaw-dropping moves and the other star McCormick of course doesn't stay behind; their dancing is the highlight as their acting leaves a lot to be desired. There are at least four flash mobs and one out does the other every time, with out a doubt the dancers here are phenomenal. The final one is of course the ultimate flash mob; the combination of sound and the images of the various sets of dancers are exhilarating.
I can't deny that I enjoyed every dance sequence this movie offered, but the overly formulaic storyline that traces back all the way to the very first chapter of the franchise makes it nothing more than a dance film. I don't suggest you go spend your movie at the theater; this might be a fun thing to watch from home but simply for its entertaining dances.

If you've been watching the European Union at all over the past two years or so, you may have noticed way back in December 2010 when CENELEC (the European Committee for Elecrotechnical Standardization) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) both declared their intentions for Micro USB to be standardized charging connector for mobile devices sold in the bounds of the EU. By and large most manufacturers have abided by that, though they've more gone for Micro USB out of convenience's sake. Save on consistent and obvious hold-out: Apple and their 30-pin connector.
Now that the 30-pin connector has gone the way of the dodo, the new 8-pin Lightning connector is going to be the standard for Apple mobile devices for several years. For reference's sake, the 30-pin connector had a long life of nine years.
But what of CENELEC, ETSI, and other acronyms? Apple in Europe has a typically Apple-for-Europe solution: a Lightning-to-Micro USB adapter. It's certainly the smaller of the Lightning adapters made available, and it merely has the male end of the Lightning connector on one end, ready to plug into your iPhone 5, new iPod Touch, or new iPod Nano, and a female Micro USB port on the other, ready to accept your Micro USB cable for your charging and syncing needs.
As the owner of multiple devices, it's the kind of thing I wish Apple would sell world-wide. Practically everything else I own charges off of Micro USB, and the drawers of my house are littered with compatible cables and chargers. The little £15.00 adapter might be a tad on the expensive side, but I'd rather throw that in my go bag over yet another cable. Alas, the Micro USB adapter appears to be a Europe-only offering, there exclusively to satisfy the "must have a Micro USB port or an available adapter" demands of Europe's standards agencies.

This Saturday undefeated football teams from the University of Michigan and Ohio State University play their annual grudge game. The winner will play for the NCAA National Division I Football title. As can be expected, excitement and tension is running high in both states.
Conflict between Ohio and Michigan is not new. However, back in the 19th century, the two states actually went to war with each other over the status of the modern city of Toledo, Ohio. (Although, at the time, Michigan was a territory.)
I grew up in a suburb of Toledo in Northwest Ohio. I heard about the war many times. My Dad used to say that Ohio lost the war because we got stuck with Toledo. I later heard many others crack this same joke so I know it is not original to my Dad.
Michigan began trying to be admitted as a state in 1833. Ohio blocked every attempt refusing to allow Michigan into the Union unless it gave up control of the disputed Toledo Strip. Michigan refused and after years of frustration sent the Michigan militia in to occupy the city of Toledo. Ohio militia responded by massing in Perrysburg, Ohio with the intent of marching on Toledo.
The Toledo War from the State of Michigan describes what happened, "The War involved more saber-rattling and one-upmanship than it did shooting and blood-letting. For instance, after the Ohio legislature voted to approve a $300,000 military budget, Michigan upped the ante by approving one with $315,000. Michigan's militia did end up arresting some Ohio officials, capturing nine surveyors, and firing a few shots over the heads of others as they ran out of the area. But only Ohio inflicted any casualties, when a buckeye named Two Stickney stabbed a Michigan Sheriff during a tavern brawl."
President Andrew Jackson was not amused. He removed the Michigan territorial governor from office and disbanded the Michigan militia camping in Toledo. Ohio won the war and Toledo remains a part of Ohio to this day. Michigan was awarded the Upper Peninsula in compensation which actually was a pretty good deal for Michigan.
So, emotions may run high this Saturday as Ohio State and the University of Michigan play football. There may even be violence between some fans. But at least this time we can be assured that the Ohio and Michigan militias will not be facing off against each other across the Maumee River.

Thank you very much for this article about the Toledo War. Indeed, we got Toledo, but Michigan still remains stuck with Detroit.

Micah_truman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 107 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Asia Wise
I am American, and a 16 year resident of China. I started out living in a village near Mongolia, and moved to Beijing in the mid nineties. I have recently created a 40 minute movie, and 120 page manual on Chinese business etiquette.
English speaking business people who want to get a crash course in Chinese business etiquette
I would like this logo to be Asian themed. The company's name is Asia Wise, and I would like the logo to involve both an Asian theme, and (if possible) a concept of learning or education.
Because I may be broadening out our product offering into more than simply business etiquette, the logo will need to be capable of encompassing a variety of business related training materials, all focused on Asia, primarily China.
Thank you!

Hubble Pinpoints Source of Mysterious Outbursts
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has pinpointed the source of one of the most puzzling blasts of high-energy radiation ever observed. It is at the very center of a small, distant galaxy, which appears to be sending a beam of radiation directly toward Earth.
The 3.8-billion-light-year-distant galaxy appears as a bright blob at the center of the Hubble picture.
This observation may support the idea that a supermassive black hole at the core of the galaxy has gravitationally torn apart and swallowed a bypassing star. As the star's gas falls onto the black hole, radiation is ejected along a narrow beam.
On March 28, 2011, NASA's Swift satellite, which looks for transient X-rays and gamma rays, detected the first of a string of powerful bursts of high-energy radiation that has lasted for a week.
More Hubble observations are planned to see if the core changes brightness. An armada of ground- and space-based telescopes is also watching the object from X-ray through radio wavelengths. The Hubble observations were taken in visible and near-infrared light on April 4, 2011, with the Wide Field Camera 3. This Hubble image was taken in visible light.

Whether they're brick-and-mortar or online, merchants find the Payment Card Industry's requirements for protecting credit card data challenging and confusing.
But all retailers must understand how to protect the credit card and other customer data that comes from online transactions, because their businesses are in cybercriminals' crosshairs. Retailers are the second leading source of leaked data (after the hospitality industry), accounting for 20% of total breaches, according to Verizon's 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report. And though the U.S. Census Bureau reports that e-commerce transactions account for only about 5% of the retail economy, they've steadily grown every year.
"It's an interesting world out there, and a very scary world for a merchant, because from day one, you're a target," says John South, chief security officer for payment processor Heartland Payment Systems.
Many of the retailers playing in this scary online world are small businesses, and they're the most vulnerable: Nearly 95% of breaches happen to merchants with 100 employees or fewer, according to the Verizon report. They don't have the dedicated security and risk management teams larger businesses have.
"We aren't seeing a lot of large-scale breaches. We're seeing much smaller breaches," says Bob Russo, general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council, the governing body for PCI's Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). "These standards are right on target for the big guys with the big security departments, ... but we have to find out a way to make it easier for the smaller merchants."
Online retailers have one big security requirement that the 100% brick-and-mortar corner store doesn't have: card-not-present transactions. Because customers don't physically hand over their credit cards for online purchases, payment processors require all online merchants to submit to a quarterly network scan by an approved security vendor. Such scanning is designed to detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Many online retailers aren't aware of this and other PCI requirements and how to deal with them, but simple steps can make a big difference when it comes to protecting customer data. The Verizon study found that 96% of victims of successful attacks had failed to comply with the PCI rules they were subject to, and 97% of breaches could have been prevented through simple or intermediate security controls.
The following 10 steps will help your company institute the controls needed to secure cardholder data and meet PCI's requirements.
1. Know Your Infrastructure
Online merchants must worry about the degree to which their online retail systems integrate with their day-to-day business networks. Start by assessing your infrastructure to determine which systems handle transaction and cardholder data.
Network scanning and log analysis can help identify which systems have access to card data, says Greg Rosenberg, a qualified security assessor with managed security provider Trustwave. These systems are the ones that you'll want to subject to PCI DSS.
"There are a lot more attack vectors--a lot more systems--that we find and can identify vulnerabilities in than customers know about," Rosenberg says.
Get a qualified security assessor involved, he says. "I'm not looking for who can get me through my audit really quickly, but who can help me understand my risk," Rosenberg says. "I would rather significantly reduce my risk posture than quickly pass PCI."
2. Find The Data
Companies save card data for three main reasons: to better handle customer service requests, to allow easy reuse of credit cards, and to handle chargebacks, according to the Ponemon Institute's 2011 PCI DSS Compliance Trends Study. "We still have way too many companies using credit card numbers as the primary identifier for their customers," says Martin McKeay, a security evangelist at Internet services company Akamai.
Whatever the reasons for hanging on to customer data, companies should hunt down every instance on their systems, whether on Web servers, in a customer service application, or on a sales associate's laptop. Discover where the data resides, who has ac- cess to it, and whether they need the information at all.
Marketing types, for instance, want to save everything, "because someday they might use the data to send someone a coupon," says PCI SSC's Russo. "If you don't need the data, don't store it."

And What I Think About It... A Short Detour from the Cheerful Ramble...
Due to people abusing our personal information, Dennis and I are now at risk for identity theft.
About six weeks ago, our health insurance company (Aetna) notified us that a laptop computer with data about us and thousands of other people had been stolen. The computer belonged to an Aetna executive who left it in his car in a parking lot as he ran a personal errand one Friday night.
Now we've received notification from the Veteran's Administration that an unauthorized employee took home electronic data on 26.5 million veterans and their spouses. His house was burglarized and the computer was stolen. Our names and personal information are among the 26.5 million compromised identities on the hard drive.
Both Aetna and the VA attempted a reassuring tone in their notifications. They "have no reason to believe" any identiy thefts will be attempted. They admitted, however, that identity theft is a possibility so they urge us to put a fraud alert on our accounts. I have done this.
Aetna, to their credit, is providing 12 months of free credit monitoring from Experian. I've signed us up for this, and it reports daily on any changes of more than 25% or $200 on a credit card or any new charges made on a card that's been idle for more than a month. I'm also taking the precaution of closing a number of accounts that we don't use.
Ironically, when you close a number of accounts within a short time period, it's said to damage your credit rating, but it doesn't matter much because we won't be applying for any loans anytime soon -- or I should say, we don't plan to.
It angers me that we and millions of other people have to endure this hassle and worry because careless people broke the rules at their workplaces. They really should be sentenced to long terms of community service or maybe even jail time, but I don't suppose anything has happened to them beyond losing their jobs.
