SUNY Canton Professor Featured in Premier Academic JournalThursday, January 26th, 2012
New solutions to global warming will occur through 50 years of advancement in behaviorism, according to a SUNY Canton faculty member.
Professor Stephen F. Ledoux, Ph.D., recently had an article published in the centenary edition of American Scientist, the journal of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society. Ledoux's work, "Behaviorism at 100," was featured in the January-February 2012 issue alongside a republished article from famous academic scholar B.F. Skinner, who was among the first to recognize behaviorism as its own natural science 50 years ago.
Ledoux noted the editor of the magazine waited to publish his work so it could be included in the 100th volume of the publication and provide a historical context for new readers.
"My article describes some aspects of Skinner's behaviorism but also touches on the gradual emergence of the independent natural science of behavior, now called behaviorology," Ledoux said. "In 1987, behaviorology became a recognized independent discipline in the natural sciences. The work I've done chronicles some progress made since Skinner's "Behaviorism at 50" article appeared in 1963 as well as a range of benefits that come from these developments."
Behaviorism influences many natural science fields, including environmental issues.
"Natural scientists are working to solve problems like global warming within the limited time frame available before we must experience its worst effects," Ledoux said. "In that process, scientists note that solutions require changes in human behavior, yet they have lacked definitive access to a natural science of behavior. We now have that, which will be increasingly valuable for solving local and global problems."
Ledoux is in his 30th year teaching at SUNY Canton. He has taught behaviorology in Australia, China and at the College. Although Ledoux's research and published article concern another discipline, he is a member of the team teaching in the brand new applied psychology major, which is now accepting applicants for the 2012 semester.
He has authored several books and edited various behaviorism texts, including Lawrence Fraley's General Behaviorology: The Natural Science of Human Behavior. Ledoux was elected to membership in the Clarkson University chapter of Sigma Xi in 1985. He received his Ph.D. in the experimental analysis of behavior from Western Michigan University in 1982 and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from California State University, Sacramento.
American Scientist is a bimonthly science and technology magazine that is among the most widely distributed natural science journals in the country. The current issue features submissions from academics at Columbia University, Duke University, Princeton University, Brown University, Stanford University, and Harvard University, among others.

Insight Partners was kind enough to ask me to speak to some of their investors this afternoon.
The topic: Whether or not there's a new tech bubble.
(As an Internet stock analyst from 1996-2001, I had a good view of the last one.)
My answer?
No, there's no new tech bubble. At least not yet.
A few hot companies have high multiples, and there's some silly stuff happening in the angel and secondary markets. But this is just a cyclical tech boom, not a bubble.
That said...
There are plenty of other things to worry about these days. Things that are scarier than a tech bubble...

How To Navajo Mine: Your Wealth Robot – Cryptocurrency
Thank you for visiting us in looking for "How To Navajo Mine" online. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to suggest that markets aren't vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there exists no need for substantial amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions on earth economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also participate in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public proof that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be achieved by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can make transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it really is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, several of those sites you are required fill in a captcha after a certain time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a fair investment strategy.
How To Navajo Mine: BTC – Picking Up Where Bitcoin Left Off
It's certainly possible, but it must be able to understand opportunities no matter market behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be alright. You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times) or PayPal. The third parties take a transaction fee. It should be hard to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having small gains is more lucrative than attempting to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of cash with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on quite profitable business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology. When searching forHow To Navajo Mine, there are many things to think of.
How To Navajo Mine – Say it – Ethereum
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about How To Navajo Mine. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could increase dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it is fundamentally important to understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You have probably seen this many times where you typically spread the nice word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What happens when the cost failures? " to date, several POS systems offers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some problem, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will be hesitant to hold any. We must find a method to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that offer long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately connects in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the correct location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these businesses determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present built-in difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. If you are looking for How To Navajo Mine, look no further than Crypto-Currency.
How To Navajo Mine – ETHEREUM – The Wealth Program
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of worth, but there is no actual palpable form of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could possibly be dealt like a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce that this kind of virtual money is not governed with a key bank system and it is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a minimal number of items, this moneyis price is based on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to industry over cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there's "actual" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever declining amount of currency or some sort of benefit to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Anyone who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be simply that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it is worth noting that the software settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward.

There is a social media phenomenon occurring anytime there is extreme weather…people everywhere post pictures of their nearest thermometer showing off the current super hot, or outrageously cold temperatures!
In the summer when temps hit 100+, you can bet you'll see news feeds full of "OMG!" posts, accompanied by a shot of their car thermometer. And when temps plunge, like they have this week thanks to the "Artic Vortex" that has gripped most of the nation, thermometers are once again the most photographed old-school devices on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
So when it comes to brand exposure custom printed thermometers are the newest hidden gem of the marketing and promotional products world.
As give-aways, they're unique, they're useful, and they have excellent staying power, and like in this example below your brand and message have megawatt exposure when snapped into a weather selfie.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #59
From Psalm 97
Jehovah reigns; let earth be glad,
And all the isles their joy make known;
With clouds and darkness he is clad,
On truth and justice rests his throne.
Consuming fire destroys his foes,
Around the world his lightnings blaze;
The trembling earth his presence knows,
The mountains melt before his gaze.
The heavens his righteousness proclaim,
Through earth his glory shines abroad;
From idol worship turn with shame
And bow before the living God.
Thy church rejoices to behold
Thy judgments in the earth, O Lord;
Thy glory to the world unfold,
Supreme o'er all be thou adored.
All ye that truly love the Lord,
Hate sin, for he is just and pure;
To saints his help he will accord
And keep them in his love secure.
For good men light and joy are sown
To bless them in the harvest time;
Ye saints, your joy in God make known
And ever praise his name sublime.

Storage consolidation: Disks and disk subsystems overview
Any storage consolidation effort must involve a serious consideration of disk subsystems and the specific disk types that those systems will contain
Any storage consolidation effort must involve a serious consideration of disk subsystems and the specific disk types that those systems will contain. As an example, there may be hundreds (even thousands) of file servers distributed across the organization. A proliferation of individual servers can be difficult for storage administrators to utilize and maintain, often leading to wasted space. A storage consolidation initiative might move to replace those disparate servers with a single large network attached storage (NAS), which is easier to maintain and manage as a centralized storage resource.
Storage types and management
The goal of storage consolidation is typically to store more information using fewer disks or systems, so it's inevitable that systems slated for consolidation will support many more disks. Each disk is selected for its mix of storage capacity, performance and reliability. For example, Fibre Channel (FC) drives normally offer the best performance, but they cost the most and have the lowest capacities. SATA drives represent the other extreme, offering the largest capacities and lowest costs, but with the lowest performance. SAS drives fall somewhere in between but have not yet achieved broad acceptance. It's important to select disks and storage systems that can maintain or improve on current storage service level agreements (SLA) for both users and applications.
Tiered storage has become an important element of the storage enterprise, allowing data to be classified and stored according to its relative importance to the enterprise. Traditionally, this involved multiple storage systems. For example, Tier 1 storage may have resided on a high-performance Fibre Channel storage array, while Tier 2 nearline storage and Tier 3 archival storage may rely on an array of SATA disks. Today, storage systems can often support more than one disk type, allowing multiple storage tiers within the same system, further reducing the number of disk systems needed in an enterprise. See our article on tiered storage for more detailed information.
Consider the amount of management required for the new storage platform. Ideally, the storage consolidation process should simplify management by reducing the number of systems that need to be managed, but the new consolidated system will have its own management demands and GUI. If multiple heterogeneous storage systems are being introduced, be sure that the management software can support all of those systems through a single interface.
Data protection
Any time more data is stored on fewer disks, it's important to consider the role of data integrity or protection in your storage consolidation strategy. RAID is typically the only form of data protection at the hardware level within a storage array, so match the RAID level to your protection requirements. RAID 0 offers simple striping for performance improvement, while RAID 1 provides mirroring. For today's storage arrays, RAID 5 handles single parity disk protection and RAID 6 (sometimes dubbed RAID-DP by proprietary vendors) supports dual-parity RAID that can protect against two simultaneous disk faults. RAID 6 is particularly useful for SATA storage systems where the probability of multiple disk faults is substantially higher than Fibre Channel systems. When a disk fault occurs, it will take time to rebuild the failed disk from parity information and the other disks in the group. Understand the implications of rebuild time and its impact on array performance. Aggressive disk diagnostics and pre-emptive rebuild features can help to keep rebuild times shorter.
Remember that almost all RAID implementations will reduce the overall storage capacity. For example, RAID 1 will use double the disk space because every disk is mirrored to another. RAID 5 requires one additional disk for the RAID group's parity data and RAID 6 requires two additional disks. This will impact the effective storage consolidation in your array.
Data migration and backup
Storage consolidation almost always implies data migration in order to move data from existing disparate systems to the centralized storage platform. However, migration takes time and it's usually disruptive to the production environment. Even though most storage systems provide migration tools to ease the process, it's important to plan the migration between heterogeneous storage systems in order to minimize service disruptions. Systems that cannot be migrated with automated tools require even more direct attention from IT staff.
Data backup and disaster recovery processes will also be influenced by consolidation, so plan any changes needed to ensure that the new data locations or systems will be protected properly. Data replication is also a means of protecting data, so new disk systems intended for storage consolidation should be able to duplicate their data to another local storage system or across a WAN to a storage system in another location. Most disk arrays include some amount of native replication capability.
Decommissioning older systems
Storage consolidation normally replaces one or more existing storage systems. Some organizations choose to liquidate older storage systems, while others may opt to redeploy the older hardware at a backup/disaster recovery site, reinstall the older hardware as a lower tier or relegate it to a lab/testing service. The key here is that older hardware may still have value to the organization, and any consolidation initiative should include plans to decommission or redeploy that leftover equipment.
Also consider the impact of power and cooling on a consolidation plan. When the new storage system is installed, it will demand additional power and cooling until data is migrated and the new system is "cut over" into regular service. After older equipment is removed, those power and cooling demands will drop -- possibly below previous demands. Remember to provide adequate power and cooling during the transition and into the future if necessary.

We certainly shall see...
Probably will go on and on like it has been.
hell no obamma is the one and only true KING!
it depends on if i get my stimulus check or not--
hell yea! toss the bums out on their @sses!
china won't like it!
daubi won't like it!
big oil won't like it!
the UN will send troops to keep the "O" in power!
the new gay military ain't got the guts!
this ain't south america is it?
we need our own version of the french revolution!
we are currently running under a stealth coup-detet that was staged in over several decades.
ever notice that big money gets everything it wants? wall-street, the privately owned fed , the media all get everything they want at our expense. now it seems we have little to no say at all in the country policies.
in effect our government is now OWNED by insiders.
and it is only going to get worse.
the governments insane spending binges and giving away money to our enemy's can not go on forever when the nation is admittedly $17+ trillion in the hole. with government accounting the number could be far higher the debt could well be $60 trillion TODAY not 20 years away.
the poll for today is
if various members of the armed services decided "enough is enough" and decided to arrest the offending members of congress, the house and even the white house for their crimes against the united states of america, its people and the constitution .
clean house from top to bottom in the government in a coup-detat to counter the previous coup that installed all the thiefs and their friends.
then sort of re-start the country same laws , same constitution just new leadership in every position. installed two years later in a general election.
yes it sounds third-world. --though if something is not done soon the corruption will be so dug in it will be impossible to get rid of without even more drastic measures.
could a short term military take over be a good thing?
PS you can vote for more than ONE option.
We certainly shall see...
Probably will go on and on like it has been.
God so loved the world He gave his only Son...
...Believe in Him and have everlasting life.
John 3:16
most of the time in those third world countries a military take over was at first thought of as a good thing to get rid of a corrupt government.
once installed though the military would not step down for democratic government.
we have let our government get so corrupt , were going down that same path.
i just wonder if any of the shit going on today in congress , the white house has caught the attention of the brass?
could be why obamma is firing and hiring generals every other week--
don't let stay too long--hell they might take over /--
if a group of generals took over --would that be an improvement?
hell i figure a blind,mentally challenged, deaf baboon would be an improvement ???
Am I missing something here j427x,,,, or don't we already have that????

One of my dad's most memorable experiences came in 1967 when a group of
Chicagons donated funds for a bust of Abraham Lincoln to be displayed at the
Johnson Presidential Library in Austin Texas. My dad is second from the left of
the president with noted Lincoln Historian, Ralph Newman to the left of him.
Other Chicagoans in the group were Federal Judge Abraham Lincoln Marovitz (a
dear friend of our family) and former Governor Otto Kerner.
This is also a fitting photo with the formal opening of the Abraham Lincoln
Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield in April. More information on
the Library can be found at http://www.alincolnlibrary.com/history.html.
I was fortunate to serve under Governors Thompson and Edgar as a member of
the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, which operates the State of
Illinois's 60 historic sites, including the Lincoln Library. The sites include
the Cahokia Mounds, the Florence Hotel and Pullman Car Works on the south side
of Chicago, the Dana Thomas House and New Salem.

All other things equal, would you rather have an insider or an outsider representing you on policy matters?
John Steele Gordon, a commentator on NPR's Marketplace, today contended that for Treasury Secretary, President-Elect Obama should select "a fox who knows the weak spots in the hen house"… someone like Henry Paulson. I don't know if I'd go that far, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have someone who knows a security from an exchange. (Gordon's delivery was so dry it sounded like satire until he cited founding SEC Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy as an example of someone whose success came because he "knew where the bodies were buried" and "what reforms were needed".)
Meanwhile in Texas, we have a member of the Texas State Board of Education who has taken it upon herself to warn America that the president-elect is not an American and will institute martial law. A little out of her jurisdiction, yes, but not much more than her position on the board – where she helps develop the public school curriculum – considering her side work developing a curriculum for "church study groups, home schools and private school classrooms" that her own children have only attended home school and private school.
Is it too much to ask that officials elected or nominated to serve a specific sector (such as education, FEMA, energy, international relations…) have some direct experience in that sector? Even if you believe in changing a system as it exists, you can't (well, shouldn't) just make an immediate and unmitigated 180 turn away from established policy. You probably don't want to turn your car around on the highway without slowing down and exiting. You probably don't want to put a communist in charge of trade (despite some of Obama's frothier detractors' certainty that very thing will happen). You probably don't want a vegan as your butcher, a Mormon in your porn, or a misanthrope as your spokesperson.
Look for someone who has at least some vested stake in the work ahead. Even if they aren't a member of your political wing. The party operatives might do more harm than good. Sometimes intentionally.

10 year prison sentence imposed; Firoved could be held indefinitely
A Kirkland man caught trying to rape his girlfriend's daughter is headed to state prison.
Convicted following a jury trial in King County Superior Court, Ryan D. Firoved was undone after bragging to his girlfriend about having sex with other children.
Firoved, a 37-year-old married father and convicted child rapist, arrived at a Kirkland motel room expecting to rape his girlfriend's child. Instead, Firoved was greeted by police alerted by the woman.
According to court papers, the girl's mother contacted Kirkland police in late June 2012 and reported her concerns about messages and comments from Firoved, whom she was dating at the time.
The woman told police Firoved told her three months before that he'd raped a 12-year-old girl while on a trip. In the months that followed, Firoved made graphic sexual comments and claims about several other young girls.
When the woman disapproved, Firoved attempted to explain himself.
"I guess you could say I'm a pedophile, but at least I'm not a predator," Firoved said, according to the woman's account. "People come to me and I make it consensual."
According to charging documents, the woman went to police when Firoved suggested he should "make it consensual" with her young daughter.
The woman gave police a series of graphic text messages sent by Firoved. In the days following her report to police, the woman continued to play along with Firoved as police listened in.
On the call, Firoved was initially very concerned – rightfully, of course – that police were listening in on the call. After some time, though, he began detailing sex acts he wanted to perform on the woman's child.
Firoved and the woman arranged to meet at a motel where Firoved believed he would have sex with the girl. He was arrested while arriving at the room following a brief struggle with police.
Speaking with police, Firoved denied ever considering having sexual contact with the girl and said he'd come to the motel to break up with the woman.
"It is made up, sick and a fantasy, but at the end of the day I never touched anyone," Firoved told detectives, according to charging papers.
Firoved was already under investigation by the regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force run through the Seattle Police Department. According to court documents, Firoved responded to an advertisement posted online by officers posing as a young girl hoping to have sex with an older man.
On Oct. 9, a King County jury convicted Firoved of attempted first-degree child rape. Superior Court Judge Douglass North on Friday sentenced Firoved to 10 years in prison; the sentence allows state Department of Corrections officials to hold Firoved indefinitely if they believe he continues to pose a risk to children.
Firoved is currently jailed in King County. An appeal is expected.
Court records show Firoved's wife filed for divorce in March. Proceedings are ongoing in the matter.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Eydie Gorme while driving into NJ to do a payroll this past Sunday morning.
While I did not see Steve and Eydie in concert, I did see them on Broadway in GOLDEN RAINBOW in 1968. This was a musical adaptation of the Frank Sinatra movie A HOLE IN THE HEAD. It did not include the song "High Hopes", but did give us the hit song "I've Got To Be Me", made famous by Sammy Davis Jr.
I remember that, while Steve and Eydie were great together and certainly audience pleasers, it was thought at the time that, because once the show opened it would probably be savaged by the critics, it should continue in previews and never actually "open". There were 43 previews, and it actually ran for almost a full year.
As an additional trivia item – although he did not write the music for the show, Marvin Hamlisch arranged the dance music.

Senior hands on deck for new businesses
David M. Grant, 60, just started an ice cream parlor in Shelton with his son David J. Grant, and a year earlier invested in his son Michael Grant's Derby restaurant.
"I like to create different businesses," Grant senior said, standing behind the counter of Dave and Dave's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor. "Who doesn't want to own their own ice cream parlor? It's a fun business."
Grant is not alone in the state when it comes to experienced businessmen and businesswomen starting new ventures or backing them. And while some older entrepreneurs are taking a swing at running a business for the first time after years in corporate jobs, there are some other economic and policy issues affecting the business climate in the state.
Grant himself said the volume of paperwork and the tax structure are such that a person with little or no experience can feel quickly overwhelmed. For example, when you file your business registration, the state hands you a packet of information on when your taxes are due, and if you miss a date, he said, watch out.
"They don't even say `welcome to Connecticut,' " he added. If his roots weren't here, he would probably look elsewhere to start a business, he said.
Still, there is something to be said to creating a successful business under these conditions. And while he said he doesn't set out to create jobs, it is one of the happier by products of starting a business.
"We created eight jobs here," he said of the ice cream parlor.

Free business advice: www.score.org
Secretary of the State of Connecticut: www.sots.ct.gov
Connecticut's business climate has been rocky through the recovery. According to the Connecticut secretary of the state, only 6,546 new businesses were registered in the first three months of this year, the lowest number of new starts in a decade. They were down almost 16 percent from the same period in 2012, when 7,764 new entities were started.
Attorney Rick Harris, partner chair of Day Pitney's technology and telecommunication practice, said since the recession the state has seen a rise in the number of people who are looking at entrepreneurship as a second career choice.
"Choice" may be a euphemism, as some people who were laid off during the recession became business owners as a way to continue putting food on the table and paying their bills when they couldn't find employment elsewhere.
Harris said the weak job market is also spurring younger people to jump into business creation.
"We see this with some of the young college graduates, who have found an inhospitable employment environment and turn to entrepreneurship and are being supported by their parents as they continue," he said.
More than four years into the economic recovery from the last recession, Connecticut has not yet recovered half of the jobs it lost.
Despite the low startup numbers, Harris said interest in entrepreneurship is up, not just because of the lack of job opportunities, but because the state is trying to provide help to new business through its new Innovation Ecosystem program and resources from investors.
The Innovation Ecosystem is a program launched by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration last year. It's funded with $5 million and provides entrepreneurs with access to analyses and support for starting and building businesses. Four hubs have been established in the state, where people can contact mentors and get information.
Harris said his practice is seeing much more interest from people who want to start business, and he's hopeful the climate in the state is moving in the right direction for entrepreneurship.
"This is a good time for Connecticut startups," he said. "We want to say in 10 to 20 years, we supported them and they became big companies."
Connecticut is home to a sizeable population of people who have money to invest. Some are retirees, some are professional investors and some are just parents and grandparents with a little extra cash who are looking to help the next generation get ahead.
But all kinds of investors have one thing in common: a desire to get a return on their investment.
One reason Connecticut's new start-ups number seems low is the high cost of doing business here, and accessing credit can be difficult.
"Overall lending is a bit tighter than it used to be," said Peter Gioia, vice president and economist of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association.
Gioia and others said it's common for entrepreneurs to rely on family in the formative years as banks generally won't lend to an untested entrepreneur.
Gioia expects new business creation to pick up in the coming years as retirees help children fund start-ups, but also go into business themselves.
"A lot of people retire and may be in pretty good shape," he said. "Now they're 67 and they think, `I'm pretty healthy. I'm going to start a business.' "
Grant's sons at the ice cream shop scoffed at the notion of their dad retiring. Both said he's got too much energy and loves business too much to quit.
Grant, however, thinks of his current situation as retirement.
"When the kids were little, I used to work 90 hours a week," he said. "Now, I work 30 to 40 hours. It's like retirement. ... And I leave the stressful things to them."

Dr. Chang-Hwan Choi Awarded ONR DURIP Grant for State-of-the-Art Research Equipment
Dr. Chang-Hwan Choi of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has been awarded a fourth consecutive Office of Naval Research (ONR) Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grant to establish new functionalities in his extremely water-repellent surfaces that prevent corrosion in marine vessel surfaces. The latest DURIP grant will be used to acquire a state-of-the-art molecular vapor deposition (MVD) system to facilitate the study and fabrication of multifunctional nanostructured surfaces.
The surface property of being extremely hard to wet, to the extent that water droplets sit extremely high upon a surface (meeting it at an angle exceeding 150 degrees) and roll off at a tilt angle of less than ten degrees, is called superhydrophobicity. In recent years, materials scientists and engineers have sought to understand and apply superhydrophobicity for use in marine vessels and military vehicles that are susceptible to the long-term effects of exposure to seawater, which contains chlorine ions that corrode their aluminum-based surfaces.
"The U.S. General Accounting Office estimated the cost of corrosion to the Department of Defense at between $9 billion and $20 billion annually, and corrosion costs for every US industry sector combined amount to an estimated $276 billion dollars annually according to the Department of Transportation," says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. "Technologies like Dr. Choi's superhydrophobic surfaces, which can avoid or slow corrosive processes in a more cost-effective manner, would have a substantial financial impact for the military and the general population, potentially saving taxpayers billions of dollars."
In order to limit the excessive costs of corrosion, Dr. Choi has been working to develop surfaces patterned at extremely minute scales to repel water, minimizing contact with seawater and slowing down the corrosive process. In addition to the anti-corrosive properties, his superhydrophobic surfaces have the potential to prevent biofouling (the accumulation of microorganisms, plants and algae) and provide hydrodynamic drag reduction to allow vessels to move more efficiently through water.
The MVD system can deposit individual nano-layers, nano-laminates, and/or organic/inorganic hybrid films typically ranging from 2-500 Å (0.2-50 nm) in a smooth, uniform manner while avoiding the risk of contamination from solvents used in other deposition processes. It is an ideal solution for obtaining molecular-scale superhydrophobic coatings for various types of nanostructured surfaces, allowing Dr. Choi to prototype novel nanostructural concepts and elucidate the nanoscale interfacial phenomena and functionalities. Furthermore, the system offers a static deposition mode for minimal use of chemical precursors, making the MVD method the "greenest" deposition solution in the market today. The system's unique features and versatility is critical for the understanding and realization of novel multifunctional nanostructures for a wide range of naval applications including anti-corrosion, anti-biofouling, and hydrodynamic drag reduction.
The new instrumentation will also directly support two educational initiatives underway at Stevens: a new cross-disciplinary PhD concentration in Nanotechnology and a Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education program. According to Dr. Frank Fisher, Interim Director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, "These initiatives strongly complement the technical merit of the acquisition by greatly increasing the number of students exposed to the MVD system and the research projects leveraging its capabilities."
Dr. Choi previously received a DURIP grant in 2011 to fund an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) that enhanced his study of the functionalities of novel prototypes of nanostructured materials. The ESEM allows his lab to study and observe the wetting dynamics of water—phenomena such as condensation and evaporation—on nano-patterned superhydrophobic surfaces.
In 2010, he also received a DURIP grant to fund a state-of-the-art thin film deposition system. This instrumentation allows Dr. Choi to deposit layers of light metals such as aluminum, which is commonly used in naval applications, with engineered nanocharacteristics that create a water-repelling surface.
About the Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering confidently addresses the challenges facing engineering now and into the future, yet remains true to the vision of the founders of Stevens Institute in 1870 as one of the first engineering schools in the nation. The department mission is to produce graduates with a broad-based foundation in fundamental engineering principles and liberal arts together with the depth of disciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in a career in mechanical engineering or a related field, including a wide variety of advanced technological and management careers. This is accomplished through a broad-based Core Curriculum of applied sciences, engineering sciences, design, management, and the humanities, coupled with a long-standing honor system.

The xmltv_ns tag indicates this is Season 1 Episode 8 (0.7. zero indexed), but the dd_progid says episode 0001. Shouldn it not be 0008? This makes using this information for series link functionality impossible using the dd_prog_id.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
The complex jaw joints allow you to eat, talk, yawn, and perform a variety of other daily activities. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ disorder or TMD) refers to a group of conditions which involve these joints, the lower jaw, and the surrounding muscles. The most common symptoms of TMJ disorder include pain, tightness, clicking or popping, and restricted jaw movement. However, there are several other symptoms connected to TMD which can affect the entire body. If you are concerned about the health of your jaw, speak to a dentist about your treatment options.
