LOS ANGELES — A black police officer and his family said they fled their upscale Orange County community after rocks were thrown through their windows, their tires were slashed and racial taunts were shouted by passing motorists. Last month, someone shot corrosive acid pellets into his garage, which damaged his car.
The family, who asked that they not be identified out of fear for their safety, said they packed up and moved from Yorba Linda to Corona and reported the alleged hate crimes to the Orange County Human Relations Commission.
Though blacks account for a small fraction of Orange County"s population — no more than 2 percent — they are the most frequently targeted group for hate crimes, said Rusty Kennedy, the executive director of the commission.
"It just illustrates that even amid our really wonderful community, life is different for some people," said Rusty Kennedy, the executive director of the commission.
The father is a police officer in Inglewood. His wife is a Los Angeles County sheriff"s deputy. They and their two children moved to Yorba Linda in 2011.
In Yorba Linda, a city of 65,000, blacks make up a scant 1 percent of the population, according to census statistics. The city"s mayor, Mark Schwing, did not return a request for comment. Neither did the city"s Police Department.
The commission wrote to the family — addressed in the letter simply as "Former Yorba Linda Family" — to denounce the hostility and ugliness they had faced.
"As much as some are tired of hearing about discrimination and bigotry and would like to declare this a post-racial society, our commission finds that the facts don"t support that conclusion," wrote Carol Turpen, the chair of the commission.
She ended the letter with a pledge: "We are committed to wipe out hate within the O.C."
After the family talked about the incident, the college-age son said that when he rode his bike to his job at a nearby Home Depot, he was taunted with racial epithets by passing motorists and told to go back home.
"We wanted people to know that it"s not peachy keen in Yorba Linda when it comes to racism," the father said.

Since 1950, the College World Series has been played in Omaha, Neb., the only NCAA event that has stayed in one location for over 60 years. Over the course of six decades, the community of Omaha has developed strong emotional ties to the College World Series as well as to its home field, Rosenblatt Stadium.
Originally built for minor league play in the 1940s, in recent years Rosenblatt Stadium had begun to shows its age, and patchwork renovations could not improve it enough to satisfy the demands of fans, the NCAA, and CWS broadcast partner ESPN.
As the contract for the College World Series came up for renewal, the city formed a committee to evaluate whether to try to reconstruct Rosenblatt Stadium or build new on one of eight potential new sites. Once it was determined to build new and a site was selected, the Building Team, led by local A/E firm HDR Architecture Inc., in collaboration with Populous, Kansas City, Mo., worked with the owner, the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority (MECA), to refine the ballpark's final programming and design.
The new stadium had to be ready by April 2011 for the first pitch of the 2011 College World Series, which put the project on a 28-month construction schedule. To keep up the pace, members of the local GC/CM firm Kiewit Building Group moved into the HDR Omaha office. HDR and Populous collaborated on the design process, which involved meeting the needs of ESPN, the city of Omaha, MECA, and the College World Series of Omaha.

General Information
Size: 253,638 sf enclosed, 597,458 sf including concourse
Construction cost: $91 million
Construction period: January 2009 to April 2011
Delivery method: CM at risk
The structural program called for the stadium to be separated into two parts, the grandstand and the lower seating bowl/outfield area. This division allowed two teams to work on the structure simultaneously during the design development phase, which saved considerable time.
The Building Team incorporated a mechanically stabilized earth wall system to retain the lower seating bowl earth fill, in lieu of a system of structural concrete retaining walls and footing. This option alone saved the project over $500,000.
"The construction of this stadium was a feat to pull off so quickly and the coordination between infield and outfield was challenging," said Building Team Award Judge Timothy Brown, AIA, studio associate professor and director of international affairs, Illinois Institute of Technology.
Unique in capacity and character, TD Ameritrade Park was built as a hybrid to accommodate not only NCAA Division I requirements for baseball but also music festivals, football, and even ice hockey.
"The Trade," as it has come to be known, opened to a sellout crowd on April 19, 2011 (Nebraska 2, Creighton 1). The 24,000-seat stadium has the cozy feel of a minor league park but is loaded with the amenities of a Major League Baseball stadium: 26 suites, four team clubhouses, administrative offices, 5,000 sf of retail space, and a continuous 360-degree concourse. Total building area is 597,458 sf, 253,638 sf of which is enclosed.
The Building Team for TD Ameritrade Park competed against a short schedule, on a difficult site, and under public pressure to ensure the College World Series would stay in Omaha. Perhaps the highest compliment of the new park came from two long-time College World Series ticketholders who told NCAA Vice President for Baseball and Football Dennis Poppe, "Mr. Poppe, we came up here just wanting to hate this park, but it's pretty nice."

The Chris Bowers nursery has been cultivating fruit trees for over 30 years. Unlike some nurseries, our stocks are grown here on the nursery. We do not just buy in stock – the quality of our fruit trees is raised from the roots up and cultivated with expert knowledge and skill developed over many years. This expertise is handed down to you our customers. Planting fruit trees is an investment that will repay tenfold over many, many years. Buying quality from the start is essential to avoid the lingering disaster that can arise through purchasing poorer quality stock.
Each year we bud and graft new – and old – varieties of apple, pear, plum, cherry, gage and damson, not to mention nut trees and connoisseurs favourites like quinces, mulberries asian pear, quince trees and medlars. It seems to us that interest in these oddball or fringe varieties of fruit tree is increasing as each year we seem to sell more of them.
Keepers Nursery is a leading specialist fruit tree nursery in the UK. With over 600 varieties, we probably offer the largest selection of fruit trees for sale in the world. This includes hundreds of varieties of apple, pear, plum and cherry trees, as well as more unusual fruit trees such as quince, medlar and mulberry. In addition we offer soft fruit plants such as raspberry canes, currant and gooseberry bushes. We also supply nut trees such as walnut and cobnut.
Nearly all of our trees are produced by ourselves at our nursery in Kent. We supply them mostly bare root in late autumn and winter. Our trees are guaranteed for the first year. You can buy online from us for mail order supply or order and collect from the nursery. Our website also offers a vast range of online information on hundreds of varieties of fruit, useful aids for selecting suitable trees, as well as valuable advice on growing fruit trees.

Let me start with a great analogy of experimental uncertainty. This is a diagram of the allegory of the cave from Plato.
The basic idea of the cave is that people are in a cave (duh) looking at shadows of puppets of real things. They don't see the real things. They can't see the real things unless they leave the cave.
In science, I could say:
- The prisoners are humans (every human is a scientist) and they can't leave the cave.
- The shadows on the wall are the results of experiments.
- The puppets are the models. You know, like the momentum principle or something.
- The real objects are the truth - which we can never really see.
Let's think about this in terms of a wiffle ball (you know, one of those balls with holes in it).
What if I want to find the volume of this spherical ball? First, it isn't a perfect sphere. Nothing is really a perfect sphere. So, the idea of the ball being a sphere is like the puppet. Now I need to measure the diameter. The measurement of the diameter is like looking at the fuzzy shadow on the cave wall. It won't be perfect.
How do you account for this uncertainty? —————————————-
Really, this is THE question. How do you measure the uncertainty and how to you calculate something with that uncertainty? Before I go on, let me offer this great resource from John Denker - Uncertainty Guide. But back to the uncertainty, here are some options:
- Record your measurements to the appropriate significant figures. Use the sig-fig rules to determine the uncertainty in the calculation. If you do this, you are probably a chemist.
- Record your measurements as well as the uncertainty in your measurements. Then use propagation of error calculations to find the uncertainty in your calculation. There are really two ways to do this. You could use the "crank three times" method described in Denker's guide (which I will briefly describe below) or you could use the partial derivative method of finding this error (which I will briefly describe below).
- If Yoda were here, he would say "but there is another way." What if you were to model the starting values as distributions of numbers and do the calculation a whole bunch of times? First, you would probably go crazy for more than 100 calculations. Second, by looking at the distribution of the results, you could see what the uncertainty would be like. This is called the Monte Carlo method.
Before I go on, let me just say that I knew about this Monte Carlo method for a while. However, it was Andy Rundquist (@arundquist) from SuperFly Physics that got me pumped up about the possibility of using this with students. Oh, and I will use this method.
So, here is the plan. I will very briefly describe these three methods and then use them to determine the uncertainty for the volume of the ball above. I will also (for comparison) find the uncertainty in the coefficient of friction for a block sliding down a plane - just because it is different.
Where to start? For the ball above, I will say that it has a diameter of 5.1 +/- 0.1 cm (or for significant figures, I would just write this as 5.1 cm). To calculate the volume, I would say:
Ok, now what about the coefficient of friction? If you take a block on a plane and slowly increase the angle, it will eventually start to slide. At that point, the coefficient of static friction can be found (here is a video of the full calculation) with:
Why am I using this friction example? I want something that clearly is not linear. Let me pretend that I collect data and get something like θ = 42.5 +/- 0.3 degrees.
Significant figures ——————-
I am not a chemist, so I might not be saying this exactly correct. However, it seems that the "rule" for sig-figs is that the result will have the same number of significant figures (it is fun to say sig-figs though) as the measurement that has the fewest significant figures. Here is a simple example. Suppose I measure the length and width of a box and get 2. cm by 3.12 cm. Since the length only has 1 sig-fig, the answer should only have one sig-fig. This means the area would be 6 cm2.
And what does this mean? I think it means the last digit is uncertain. To translate into uncertainty, I suspect it means the area of 6 +/- 1 cm2.
One last note. I don't mean to make fun of chemists (but I did). My brother and my father are both chemists. Does that make it ok?
Crank three times method ————————
I love that name. Here is the basic idea. Crank number one is to just do the calculation without the uncertainty. Crank number 2 is to do the calculation in such a way to get the smallest possible answer. Crank number 3 is to get the maximum possible answer. The uncertainty then can be the average deviation for the standard result.
Let me do this example with the above area. Let me say the length and width are 2 +/- 1 cm and 3.12 +/- 0.05 cm. For crank 1:
Crank 2:
Crank 3:
Ok, you probably notice the crazy starting values I chose. Unrealistic, but I will proceed anyway. Looking at these number, the lower and upper values are about the same amount above or below the standard calculation (crank 1). If I like, I can average these deviations for the uncertainty (A3 - A2)/2. This would give an area of 6 +/- 3 cm2.
Calculus Method —————
This method assumes that the variables involved change in a close to linear relationship near the point of interest. Using this, the following formula comes up:
Where f is the function of the thing you want to calculate. The &simga;'s are the uncertainties and a and b are the quantities you want to measure. Back to the boring area calculation, the uncertainty in the area would be:
Using this method, my crazy area from above would have an uncertainty of +/- 3 cm2.
Monte Carlo Method ——————
Ok, if you know something about the distribution of your measurements, you can just simulate them. Suppose I assume the width from above has a normal distribution with an average of 3.12 and a standard deviation of 0.05 cm. Suppose I simulate this measurement 10,000 times. Here is what the distribution of values I get would look like:
I could do a similar thing with the length measurement. For each simulated length, I simulate the width and multiply them together. This will give a 'simulated' area. Doing this 10,000 times, I get:
Here you can see something silly. The distribution of areas goes below 0 cm2 to give negative areas. Of course that wouldn't happen in real life - but I chose the absurd distribution of the length as 2 +/- 1 cm. Ok, now I can find the average and the standard deviation of these area calculations. From this I get an average of 6.29 cm2 with a standard deviation of 3.04 cm2. Typically, if you want to use the standard deviation as a measure of the uncertainty you should just list it as one significant digit. The actual value of the area should be to the same significant figure as the uncertainty. So, I would report this as 6 +/- 3 cm2 (just like the other methods).
Smackdown Time ————–
Now, how do these different methods work for the two examples from the beginning (the volume of the ball and the coefficient of friction calculation)? I already listed the diameter of the ball as 5.1 +/- 0.1 cm (or just 5.1 cm in the sig-fig style). For the block on a plane, I said it slides at an angle of 42.5 +/- 0.3 degrees.
I am not going to show the calculations, I am just going to do it. Here is what I get.
For the volume of the ball:
- Significant Figures: V = 69 cm3
- Crank 3 Times: V = 69.5 +/- 4.1 cm3
- Calculus: V = 69.5 +/- 4.1 cm3
- Monte Carlo: V = 69.6 +/- 4.1 cm3
So, not much difference. What about the calculation of the coefficient of friction?
- Significant Figures: μ = 0.916
- Crank 3 Times: μ = 0.9163 +/- 0.0096
- Calculus: μ = 0.9163 +/- 0.0071
- Monte Carlo: μ = 0.9163 +/- 0.0095
Again, all these methods seem to give very similar results.
What to take away —————–
Chemists must not be so bad. It seems like the significant figures thing works ok. However, there are some important things to note:
- All of these methods have assumptions. The biggest assumption is the type of distribution your numbers come from. Are they normal distributions? If they aren't, most of these methods might cause you some trouble. The nice thing about the monte carlo method is that you can use different types of distributions for your numbers if you need to.
- I am sure there are some other types of calculations where you would get a much larger variety in the results. I will have to revisit my post on error propagation and the calculation of the distance to the Sun.
- I still think that the biggest problem with the sig-figs method is that it really doesn't tell you too much about the distribution of possible answers.
- And don't forget about the cave from above. When we talk about uncertainty, we are talking about the fuzziness of the shadows on the wall. All of these methods are just ways to take into account the fuzziness of the shadows.
- Lastly, there is no reason that students in introductory courses couldn't do the monte carlo method.

Robby Ameen
Independent - United States
In the time that Robby Ameen has spent living in New York City since the early eighties he has compiled a recording career stretching from Dizzy Gillespie to Paul Simon, while maintaining a more than fifteen year relationship with Latin luminaries Ruben Blades and Dave Valentin. Although he is of Lebanese origin, Robby is best known for the unique and powerful Afro-Cuban style he has created.
Growing up in New Haven, Connecticut, Robby was able to take advantage of his proximity to New York City by going to clubs and hearing many of the great jazz masters at a very young age. At the same time, he was involved in the local jazz and latin scene, as well as later attending Yale University, where he received a BA in literature. His jazz roots were strongly influenced by his studies with the great Ed Blackwell in high school, while in college he studied classical percussion with Fred Hinger at the Yale School of Music.
Upon moving to New York, Robby began recording with Dave Valentin and Ruben Blades, who was the first salsa singer to add a full-time drummer to his band, Seis del Solar. Another one of his early recordings was New Faces with Dizzy Gillespie, about whom Dizzy said in Jazz Times "Just the other day I made a record with a Lebanese drummer – b-a-a-d! He had so much happening, and it keeps going, you know?"
On the Latin scene Robby has also recorded many records with Eddie Palmieri, as well as records with Mongo Santamaria, Hilton Ruiz, Daniel Ponce, among others. He has toured with Willie Colon, Paquito D'Rivera, Gato Barbieri, DLG, and was the drummer at Marc Anthony's historic first solo concert at Madison Square Garden.
Another one of Robby's longstanding relationships has been with producer-composer Kip Hanrahan, with whom he has been recording and touring since 1987. He was also the drummer for Paul Simon's "Capeman", with whom he worked through the long rehearsal period up until the recordings and the actual show, as well on a VH1 "Storytellers" special.
Along with Horacio "el Negro" Hernandez, Robby co-leads the "el Negro & Robby Band, " who have recorded three records and are touring extensively worldwide. As co-leader he also recorded two records with the band Seis del Solar. Robby is the co-author with Lincoln Goines of the best-selling instructional book and CD: Funkifying the Clave: Afro Cuban Grooves for Bass and Drums, which has sold over 35,000 copies worldwide. A video based on the book was also released on DCI/Warner Bros. Robby is an active clinician, performing at Modern Drummer Day, Montreal Drum Festival, NAMM and PAS shows, to name a few, as well as internationally.
Some of his various TV appearances include The Tonight Show, 60 Minutes, Amnesty International Concerts, Cinemax's "A Latino Special: feat. Jerry Garcia," "The Return of Ruben Blades" documentary, Good Morning America, Europe's Rockpalast and Jazz Inn.
In addition to his recording and touring schedule, Robby is busy in the New York studios doing jingles, TV music, and film scores with such composers as Dave Grusin, Carlos Franzetti, and Howard Shore. He was the drummer for the first few seasons of trhe show "Sex and the City." Feature articles about Robby have appeared in such magazines as Modern Drummer, Rhythm, Latin Beat, Batteur, Percussionisti, and others. Recently, Robby will be included in the New Grove Dictionary of Jazz.

It would really be nice if BIBM supported booting OSs from a GPT drive rather than just an MBR drive. I believe an MBR drive is limited to 2 TB while a GPT drive is supported above 2 TBs. As people buy drives for new computers they are going to want to buy drives greater than 2 TB as larger drives become available. I admit I use BIBM for its multi-boot capabilities and not for its feature that allows more than 4 primary partitions on a MBR drive. Terabyte could still continue to support MBR drives and its EMBR feature which allows more than 4 primary partitions on a MBR drive, but I really would like to see it support GPT drives for multi-booting. Is there any move by Terabyte to do this in an upcoming release of BIBM ?
I ask for a practical reason since I am building a new computer system and I really like BIBM as a multi-boot manager. The necessity to have to buy a 2 TB drive and configure it as an MBR drive in order to use BIBM is bothersome. I would much rather buy 4 TB drives or greater and be able to multi-boot with BIBM using GPT drives. It would really be nice to hear that Terabyte is aware of this issue and is planning an upcoming version of BIBM which supports multi-booting off of a GPT drive.

Okay, so it wasn't THAT much fun. I worked my butt off, although, you'd think it would be smaller. Oh well! So remember these little buggers? My cake disaster that i mushed into balls and stuck in the freezer? I resurrected them zombie-style for yesterday. My hostess told me she needed some type of party favor and i told her i had a great idea!! Bakerella (look to the right-she's in my blogroll) had a post about buying a peanut butter cup mold and making tiny little 'cupcake' bites. I'm not going to bother with detailed directions, she has those on her site. Instead, I'm going to thrill you with pictures! Here are the balls being formed. I put them back into the freezer to firm up again after being in my nice, warm hands.
Next, they are being pushed into the melted chocolate. Just try to get the melted chocolate to crawl all the way up the sides of the mold. It makes for a better cupcake effect.
Then they were topped with purple and pink melted white chocolate, which in all reality is vanilla. There's no chocolate whatsoever in white chocolate. I think it just makes people feel better to call it that. Whatevs.
Then i dusted them with sprinkles and a mini m&m. You know, to look like a cherry or whatever. Super cute!
Here's me working soooooo hard at these. (Note the Jessie Steele apron. Also in my blogroll. Buy one. Now.) They weren't difficult, per say, just tedious as all get out. You better really like the person you are making them for, or you will be cursing the whole time, like i was. Not that I didn't like her, but I'm indifferent towards the lady she ordered them for. Anywho!
Here is the final product. They got ooohs and aaahs from the guests and that's all my giant ego really requires. Oh, and yes, i did indeed make the tag. I scrapbook, too, so i had scalloped edge scissors already hanging around my house. And nothing better to do on a Friday night, apparently.
Here are some more pictures of the bridal shower. Yes, I did everything, including the cucumber sandwiches (i know, right?) and the scones (scones? wtf?) with clotted cream. God that just sounds gross. Clotted cream. *Shudders* Anyways, you probably figured out it was an English tea party theme. Enjoy the pictures!
She placed the mini cupcake bites around a candle. It looked pretty. They did not catch fire, thankfully.
These were mini carrot cakes, mini banana walnut, mini cappuccino chip, and mini lemon angel cakes.
Then we have cucumber sandwiches with some sort of mayonnaise/ cream cheese mixture. I flattened the bread, piped on the stuff, carefully placed the cucumbers marinated in red wine vinegar, dusted them paprika, and cut them into fours. They were placed on lettuce leaves to keep the bread moist.
Here are the scones. My very first attempt and she tells me they were the best she's ever had, and that's not just a compliment, that's a COMPLIMENT. She used to live in England. Whaaaat? I know, she was in the military, though. But still, she knows her scones. And while my version of clotted cream wasn't what she's had, it was still tasty, and as she put it, "Like any of these hillbillies will know the difference." Right on, Pats!
Here is the "cake," complete with flowers that were actually recycled from my mother's day gift. I couldn't believe they kept all week, so i used them. They were beautiful!! Oh, the other 'theme' of the shower was advice, so the hostess asked me to make cake toppers that had marital advice. Since I am previously divorced, i did not think i was best suited to come up with this stuff on my own. So, I perused the internet.
Here are some of the flags pre-cake topped. Yes, some of them are quite lame. What do you want from a girl whose best marital advice would be "don't do it to begin with" ?
Oh, and just so we're clear, NONE of this was vegan.
I hope you enjoyed my post on an English Tea Party/ Good Advice Bridal shower.
Now, go call your friend Randi and have some coffee while you talk about your neighbors, like I'm going to.

News and notes from the Raiders open locker room session Thursday and post-practice press briefing from coach Tom Cable:
— Not sure it's anything that could threaten their status for the game yet, but starting wide receiver Louis Murphy (hip) and cornerback Chris Johnson (groin) could not finish practice because of injuries and their status will be re-evaluated Friday.
If Murphy's condition is a factor for Sunday, it would mean an increased role for Todd Watkins and perhaps even Javon Walker, because Chaz Schilens still isn't practicing likely won't play, either.
— Cable said Russell outwardly appears the same as always, but that he can see a difference in the way he is going about business.
"I actually see the same demeanor in terms of not letting things get to him but I've seen a little more attention to some things, which is good," Cable said. "He's in here early, he's working at it. The fact that he's had a chance to look at it after Sunday and take some responsibility for those kinds of things. It just adds to his motivation. He's got to get better."
— Cable said his starting offensive line would be Mario Henderson at left tackle, Chris Morris at left guard, Samson Satele at center, Cooper Carlisle at right guard and Khalif Barnes at right tackle.
Which means that Robert Gallery, limited in practice for the second straight day, is looking at a post-bye return against Kansas City Nov. 15 unless Cable pulls a surprise as he did the previous week with Barnes starting over Erik Pears.
— Cable is hopeful to see running back Darren McFadden (knee) and wide receiver/return specialist Nick Miller in action after the bye, but the fact is neither player is doing any hard running or cutting, doing most of their cardio work treadmills and stationary bikes.
"It's where they're at this coming Monday, as we start the bye," Cable said. "Cause you really look at it as a two-week process for them to play. If it goes through the bye and we're on that Monday of Kansas City, then I think that's a real question. I'm not sure they would be ready at that point. But if they've got the full two weeks to do it, I think they can get that done."
Miller, who made the team as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Utah, will have waited at least half a season to make his debut.
It's rare a team would hold a roster spot for that long without putting the player on injured reserve _ even more rare when you consider the trouble the Raiders have had with their kickoff returns and punt returns.
"They put a lot of faith in me and I have faith in myself," Miller said. "I know I can do it, so I'm just itching to get out there. If it was just play through the pain, I would. It's not like that. If I feel pain I have to lay off, because that means (the injury is) still there. I want to prove to everybody I can play in this league."
— Astute observation by defensive end Greg Ellis on regarding concussions in the wake of Roger Goodell's testifying before the House Judiciary Committee about head injuries in the NFL:
"Yeah, it's something that has to be taken seriously. And in most cases, it needs to get to the level where they are protecting us, the players, against our own selves. Since we started playing football as a little kid, you're taught toughness, toughness, toughness.
"Some of us, if we can walk, we say, 'OK, I'm good, I'm fine.' My wife is getting on me all the time, 'How you feeling, Greg?' Well, I'm fine. 'No, you're not fine. Why are you doing this? There's something wrong.' But it's just a conditioned thing. So, unfortunately, when it's something that's not going to be long-term, OK, it's fine. But if it's something where you're talking about a head problem, then it needs to be supervised by somebody better than the players."
— Free safety Michael Huff thinks the inability to stop the run has also effected the ability to get interceptions.
Huff had three interceptions in the first two games and none since.
"I think back then, we were stopping the run decently, so we made them throw the ball," Huff said. "The main thing is us stopping the run and getting them in obvious passing situations to get the picks."
Cable said Huff's ability to be a more relaible last line of defense has been the reason for his return to the starting lineup.
"I remember when I first got here in '07, (I saw) a good athlete, can run, can cover and all that, but he really just didn't have that real `get after it' in terms of a tackler," Cable said. "When he got sat down last year and went to being a predominant special teams player, he really developed himself as a tackler. It has showed since that point, and he's been very, very good for us this year."
— LB Isaiah Ekejiuba was back at practice without limitations after being ill for two days with a stomach virus. Backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski missed practice for the second straight day with the same ailment.

Apple and FTC reach agreement about children's app purchases
This post first appeared on Forbes.com
The Federal Trade Commission announced that it has entered into a consent decree with Apple regarding alleged charges that Apple allowed children to purchase apps and make in-app purchases on its app store.
The FTC accused Apple of failing to inform parents that there is a 15-minute window when a parent enters a password to purchase an app. Without that knowledge, the commission alleges that children have been able to purchase apps within that period without parental knowledge.
The agreement requires Apple to pay a minimum of $32.5 million in refunds to parents for unauthorized charges, but if requests are below that, the difference will be paid to the FTC. The FTC said it aims to achieve "full consumer redress," and there is no maximum on what Apple will have to pay, if the claims exceed the $32.5 million."
At a press conference FTC chair Edith Ramirez added that the FTC is also putting controls on how Apple handles in-app purchases. Apple will be required to obtain "informed consent for charges to consumers." The order requires Apple to send out an email to potentially affected consumers with information on how to apply for a refund. She said that the basic principal that Apple agreed to will also apply to other companies. Apple, according to the FTC, "also will be required to change its billing practices to ensure that it has obtained express, informed consent from consumers before charging them for items sold in mobile apps."
Just ahead of the press conference, Recode.net published an email from Apple CEO Tim Cook to employees about the settlement. Cook said that Apple is already doing what the settlement calls for and that " It doesn't feel right for the FTC to sue over a case that had already been settled. To us, it smacked of double jeopardy." Cook said "the 15-minute window had been there since the launch of the App Store in 2008 and was aimed at making the App Store easy to use, but some younger customers discovered that it also allowed them to make in-app purchases without a parent's approval."
In response to my question, Ramirez said that "Apple was aware of this issue since at least March of 2011″ and that "in our view the problem continues." In response to another reporter, Ramirez said that the agreement goes beyond the earlier settlement and "provides more robust relief." It also requires Apple to change its practices to assure that there is proper notice given to account holders and parents so that they understand that the 15 minute window is being opened when they give consent.
In a statement, Ramirez called the settlement ""a victory for consumers harmed by Apple's unfair billing, and a signal to the business community: whether you're doing business in the mobile arena or the mall down the street, fundamental consumer protections apply."

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you sit in the airport and wait for ten hours because your flight home is busying de-icing in Moosejaw. LET'S GO!
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! – 8:00PM (ABC) The Chuck Jones holiday classic reairs tonight right before Christmas Eve strikes. It's immediately followed by the Ron Howard film version of the same book, which stars Jim Carrey and is five times longer. Take a wild guess as to which one I'll be choosing for my viewing this evening. One other thing: When you watch the animated special, you'll notice that the "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song is broken up over the course of the whole show. But when you listen to it on the radio, they play it all together. And Holy Moses, does that song have a lot of verses. It's like "American Pie," for crying out loud. ANTICIPATION: SEASICK CROCODILE!
CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED – 8:00PM (Discovery) Learn about the history of Christmas and the surprising role it played in several historic events, including the end of slavery. I swear that's what the guide says. I guess Lincoln bestowed freedom upon the workers as a kind of stocking stuffer? Seems like an awfully abstract thing to try and wrap. Also learn how Christmas affected the invention of the first artificial heart. Did it light up and play "Jingle Bells" if your pulse went over 120? You know it did. ANTICIPATION: COOL!
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL – 8:00PM (USA – An NBC/Universal Network) The nuked fridge scene always reminds me of the "Chicago Jones" clip from "Hollywood Shuffle". Because Indy knew about the gravity and the polarity, you see. ANTICIPATION: NAH MAN, THASS SOME BULLSPIT!
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 10:00PM (Bravo – An NBC/Universal Network) One of the rich girls hosts a Roaring 20's party. Unfortunately, because she knows very little about history, that means her party is decorated with grad students in lion costumes. ANTICIPATION: BITCHY!
SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET – 9:00PM (BBC America) Well, I certainly like the killing and cannibalism parts. It's the singing parts that really depress me. ANTICIPATION: BLOODY GOOD!
Wednesday Watch List: Grinch Vs. Grinch: WHO YA GOT?!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you sit in the airport and wait for ten hours because your flight home is busying de-icing in Moosejaw. LET'S GO!

3.26.12 The End of Full Custom IC Design - the Beginning of the ViaDesigner Era
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2012
Triad Semiconductor and Mentor Graphics Corporation today announce a new approach to low cost, mixed-signal IC design, for the masses, with the introduction of ViaDesigner™. This unique offering enables new IC development in two to six months, allows respins in less than four weeks, and can radically reduce the cost and risk typically associated with custom mixed-signal IC design.
ViaDesigner is a new electronic design automation (EDA) tool that enables system-level engineers, who have no previous IC design experience, to design their own mixed-signal configurable ASICs. This new approach to IC design is built on comprehensive system-level design technology from Mentor Graphics and Triad's intelligent ViaASIC™ library wizards. Triad Semiconductor is a leading supplier of low-cost mixed-signal via configurable arrays, known as ViaASICs. Mentor Graphics is a leading supplier of EDA software, including solutions for high-level, mixed-signal system development and analysis.
The foundation for ViaDesigner is the SystemVision® design environment by Mentor Graphics, which seamlessly merges design capture, SPICE simulation, digital simulation, and high-level VHDL-AMS behavioral modeling into a unified design flow. Triad's ViaDesigner tunes and extends the SystemVision environment by adding an easy-to-use set of ViaASIC library wizards that help the user design sophisticated mixed-signal circuits while freeing the designer from the tedium and expertise required of full-custom IC layout. ViaDesigner output is mapped to a ViaASIC utilizing Triad's mixed-signal aware place & route software, ViaPath™.
For more than 40 years, analog design has been referred to as art or "black magic" that is beyond the reach of all but the most gifted of analog IC wizards. For the first time, ViaDesigner makes low-cost, mixed-signal IC design available to system-level engineers. ViaDesigner coupled with ViaASIC technology provides designer's with a low-cost way to combine precision analog functions, data converters, ARM processors, custom digital logic, non-volatile memory and power management into their own optimized IC.
"Full custom mixed-signal IC design will always be hard work and quite frankly looks a bit like magic," says Jim Kemerling, Triad CTO. "The beauty and power of ViaDesigner is that we've captured decade's worth of custom IC design know-how into ViaASIC library wizards, freeing system-level designers from many of the low-level chip design issues."
ViaDesigner supports designing at high levels of abstraction to greatly speed up the development process. ViaDesigner wizards guide the user through the realization of low-level IC elements, such as matched resistors, capacitors, switches, op-amps, etc., without forcing the user to be an expert in device physics or a particular foundry's full-custom design rules. Triad's own IC designers focus on the details of full-custom best practices and then make well-behaved IC resources available to their customers for easy selection and configuration of custom ICs through ViaDesigner wizards. In essence, Triad's new ViaDesigner offering lets system engineers design their own custom ICs in a simplified process that is very much like designing a printed circuit board circuit out of discrete components.
Mentor Graphics is unique among EDA vendors in its focus on various aspects of system design, including multi-discipline, mixed-technology modeling and analysis with SystemVision. "Our SystemVision tool empowers system designers to virtually integrate and verify their mixed-discipline systems prior to physically building them," said Serge Leef, Vice President and General Manager, System Level Engineering Division, Mentor Graphics. "The synergies of this powerful design environment, tuned specifically for Triad's needs, combined with Triad's unique ViaASIC platform, offer a compelling and game-changing solution for the custom IC industry."
Triad Semiconductor's long-time foundry partner austriamicrosystems is a leading provider of precision, high-quality analog/mixed-signal foundry services. "austriamicrosystems has a long history of providing specialty foundry services to Triad. Since 2005 several innovative via configurable arrays were developed based on our RF and high voltage CMOS technologies" said Thomas Riener, Senior Vice President and General Manager of austriamicrosystems' Full Service Foundry business unit. "Triad's new ViaASIC technology and ViaDesigner EDA flow provide to system-level engineers in quality-focused and performance-driven markets easy access to our foundry services and capabilities."
About Triad Semiconductor
Triad Semiconductor is changing the way mixed signal ASICs are designed. Triad makes ViaASICs™ that combine silicon-proven analog and digital resources onto ASIC die that are configured with a single via-only mask layer change. This approach to ASIC design reduces development cost, development time, and is easier and less risky than traditional full-custom IC design. Triad is a privately-held fabless semiconductor provider of IC solutions for any production volume with headquarters at 3900 Westpoint Blvd., Winston-Salem, NC 27130.

...I have no idea.
But I suspected Google had the answer. So, according to 625 Google references to the exact phrase "most important word in marketing," the following are the five most common answers:
"I've always said that the most important word in marketing is YOU. That is, your marketing needs to convey very clearly what's in it for the client or customer. 'This is what YOU get, client.' Take a look at some of those very important conditions that must be met before a prospective client is likely to do business with you."
"The most critical word in marketing contains only three letters. It's the word WHY. It is much better to communicate WHY you are original, special or unique, or WHY you are better, different or superior than competitors, and not the *fact* that you are. In other words, the point is that you should imply your superiority by specifying, as much as possible, what exactly makes you better than anyone else. This approach is more powerful, and the effect lasts longer."
"Every guerrilla knows that the number one factor influencing purchase decisions is confidence. The road to confidence is paved with credibility. And that's the most important word in marketing – commitment. It is something that also fuels your credibility. When people see that you are maintaining consistency in your marketing, they'll assume you're just as committed to quality and service."
"New is probably the strongest word in marketing. People are attracted to new products like a magnet. Introducing new products on a constant basis is the best way to get attention and invaluable free publicity for your business."
"FREE was, is and will always be the most powerful word in marketing. Most viral marketing programs give away valuable products or services to attract attention. FREE will usually get results and responses much faster. Viral marketers practice a form of delayed gratification. They may not profit today, or tomorrow, but if they can generate a groundswell of interest from something free, they know they will profit sooner or later. Why? Because FREE attracts eyeballs."
I put "free" last because I also found a brilliant article which argues that "free" is the most DANGEROUS word in marketing. Check this out:
"I've been advising businesses for nearly 20 years that a business model driven by attracting prospects through giving something away for free is almost always a model for failure. And it doesn't matter whether you use this model online or offline - it will nearly always fail."
What do you think is the most important word in marketing?

The richest man in college football is Alabama head coach Nick Saban. With a contract upgrade last month the head coach of the Crimson Tide will make close to $7 million this year. With so much discussion and debate about providing more for players, rising media rights deals and potential changes coming to cause more of a split in college football's hierarchy, Alabama has left no doubt the value it places on the head coach of the football program. Some may suggest coaches are paid too much, but Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill thinks Saban is worth every bit of his nearly $7 million contract.
"If somebody said something about coach Saban's salary, I'd bet he earns every damn dime of it," Kill said while answering questions for an Al.com interview. "He's under a fishbowl. It's just the way it is."
According to Kill, the position of head coach comes with plenty of pressure and attention, as it always has. With today's expanded coverage of the sport of college football, especially in the southeast region of the country, Saban has plenty of expectations and demands for media coverage hounding him everywhere he goes. But that is why he gets paid the big bucks. That and winning, of course. Alabama has won three BCS titles since he took over the program after a brief stint in the NFL.
"There's a helluva lot of difference between making suggestions and decisions," Kill added. "When it becomes public, you know who they are talking about…they are talking about the ol' ball coach. We are responsible because we are making the big bucks."
For the sake of comparison, Kill was paid $1.2 million by Minnesota in 2013 according to USA Today's most recent database of coaching salaries.

The numbers are pretty grim: More than half of all 85-year-olds suffer some form of dementia.
But here's the good news: Brain researchers say there are ways to boost brain power and stave off problems in memory and thinking.
In other words, brain decline is not necessarily an inevitable part of aging. "It's simply not pre-destined for all human beings," Bryan James tells Shots. He's an epidemiologist at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago. "Lots of people live into their 90s and even 100s with no symptoms of dementia."
So what can you do to increase the odds? Neuroscientist Art Kramer, who directs the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois, has a number of suggestions. First and foremost, Kramer says, is to exercise. Research shows it's the best thing you can do for your brain.
Kramer did a study in which he scanned the brains of 120 older adults, half of whom started a program of moderate aerobic exercise — just 45 minutes, three days a week, mostly walking. After a year, the MRI scans showed that for the aerobic group, the volume of their brains actually increased.
What's more, individuals in the control group lost about 1.5 percent of their brain volume, adding up to a 3.5 percent difference between individuals who took part in aerobic exercise and those who did not. Further tests showed that increased brain volume translated into better memory.
The findings support earlier animal research in which rodents that were exercised had a number of favorable physiological changes, Kramer says. They had more new neurons, stronger connections between neurons, and increased blood supply to a number of regions in the brain.
Rachel Whitmer, a researcher at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California, agrees that it's important to exercise your body to ensure the health of your brain. It's not just getting adequate exercise, Whitmer says, it's also "maintaining good blood pressure, levels of cholesterol and a healthy weight," and remembering that "what's good for the heart is good for the brain."
What about mental exercises? Kramer says the evidence isn't nearly as conclusive, but keeping your brain active can't hurt.
The brain loves novelty, so if you do crossword puzzles, try shifting to a different type of puzzle — Sudoku, for example, he says. Or learn a new language. Play a new instrument.
And go out with friends. James recently published a study looking at the social lives of about 1,100 adults over 80. He asked them about going to restaurants and sporting events, playing bingo, doing volunteer work and other activities.
Individuals were followed for up to 12 years. Those with busy social lives were half as likely to develop dementia, compared with those with minimal social activities.
In another study, James looked at a different measure of activity — something he calls "life space." He added up how often people got out of their bedroom, went out of their house, traveled out of their neighborhood or out of town. "The people who never left their home — even though they didn't seem to have any cognitive problems when we started following them — were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease" over five years, James says.
And finally, there's the popular notion of brain food. There's some evidence suggesting that omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, and antioxidants, like vitamins C and E, found in vegetables, may help nourish the brain.
Putting it all together, Kramer jokingly suggests that the best advice might be to join a book group that walks and drinks red wine while talking about the book. Red wine contains antioxidants, Kramer notes. You'd be discussing a stimulating topic with good friends while exercising your body. "How can you beat it?" he says. "It's got all four!"
OK, not everybody can be a super-ager. But many brain researchers agree that declines in memory are not necessarily inevitable. As NPR's Patti Neighmond reports, there are things we can do to keep dementia at bay.
PATTI NEIGHMOND, BYLINE: You may be surprised to hear that the best thing you can probably do for your brain is exercise your body. Neuroscientist Art Kramer, with the University of Illinois, has studied the impact of aerobic exercise.
ART KRAMER: Walking, jogging, swimming, aerobic exercise in the pool, or riding your bike.
NEIGHMOND: In Kramer's study, participants had brain scans before and after they started a program of moderate aerobic exercise - just 45 minutes, three days a week; mostly walking. After a year, Kramer found the volume of their brains actually increased. And that translated into a better memory. Kramer points to earlier research that found significant changes in the brains of rodents when they exercised.
KRAMER: It increases the number of new neurons, the computational factories in the brain; it increases the effectiveness of connections between different brain regions; and also increases the blood supply to various regions of the brain.
NEIGHMOND: So one more reason to get up and get moving. And while the evidence isn't nearly as conclusive when it comes to mental exercise, keeping your brain active can't hurt, says Kramer. Take his 93-year-old aunt, Angela Little, a retired science professor at the University of California, Berkeley. She's currently taking a course in Italian literature.
ANGELA LITTLE: We read Dante, we read "The Inferno," we read Boccaccio.
NEIGHMOND: It's a two-hour class involving discussion and historical analysis. I ask if it's taught in English.
LITTLE: Oh, no, no, no, no. Everything is in Italian. We don't speak English at all; everything is in Italian, absolutely - assolutamente.
NEIGHMOND: It's learning new things that seems to offer the biggest benefit. So new novels are good. If you do crossword puzzles, try shifting to Suduko - a puzzle that uses numbers. Learn a new language. Play a new instrument. The brain likes novelty, says Kramer, whose aunt enjoys another important activity - socializing.
LITTLE: I've outlived my generation - this is true - but I've inherited the children of my departed friends, and they're now my friends. And we go to lunch together, go to museums together, or just sit around and chit-chat or play Scrabble, or something like that.
NEIGHMOND: Studies have shown that just the act of getting together with friends may help stimulate the brain. Bryan James is an epidemiologist at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago. He recently looked at the social lives of about 1,100 adults over 80.
BRYAN JAMES: So we asked people about going to restaurants, going to sporting events, playing bingo and other social games like that; doing unpaid community and volunteer work, going on day trips.
NEIGHMOND: Individuals were followed for up to 12 years. Those with busy social lives were half as likely to develop dementia, compared to those who weren't socially active. In another study, Adams looked at something he calls life space. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: The epidemiologist's last name was misstated. It is James.] He added up how often people literally got out of their bedroom, went out of their house, traveled out of their neighborhood or out of town.
JAMES: The people who never left their home - even though they didn't seem to have any cognitive problems, when we started following them - were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease over that five-year time period.
NEIGHMOND: And finally, the notion of brain food. Some evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish; and antioxidants, found in vegetables and red wine; may help nourish the brain - leading neuroscientist Art Kramer to suggest this...
KRAMER: The walking book group with good red wine: You walk; you talk about something stimulating - a book that you've read - with good friends. How can you beat it? It's got all four.
NEIGHMOND: Good food, social activity, intellectual challenge and most important of all, physical exercise.

The Appling County Board of Education met on May 31 at the Appling County High School Fine Arts Center to discuss the FY 2011 - 2012 budget. During the discussion Superintendent Scarlett Copeland and CFO Adrienne Taylor shared that since last year's budget the board has made adjustments through attrition, transfers, and other cost-saving measures to make up for a deficit of $1,139,898.00. Taylor stated that at the current millage rate of 15 mills, the board would fall short of having a balanced budget in the amount of $413,733.84. Copeland recommended that board members consider reducing the work calendar schedule by seven days, which would result in saving the system approximately $473,000.00 and balance the budget. The cut would only apply to certified personnel, not classified and Pre-k teachers who have already experienced cuts last year and for this upcoming year. Copeland stated that they are trying to make cuts as evenly as possible.

The Truth About Cap-and-Trade in Europeby -
Has cap-and-trade in Europe worked? WRI's Senior Fellow Jill Duggan, who helped implement the EU trading scheme, sorts the myths from reality.
This piece is first in a series from Visiting Senior Fellow Jill Duggan:
- The Truth About Cap-and-Trade in Europe
- Cap-and-Trade Comes of Age in Europe
- "Synchronized Swimming": The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
Europe began its cap-and-trade system in 2005, with a three year learning period (phase 1). In recent U.S. Senate climate hearings, cap-and-trade critics pointed to the challenges of that first phase as a sign that cap-and-trade was a failure. But as more results are identified and understood, Europe's first phase is looking more and more like a success. Today Europe has a stable cap-and-trade system, improved by the lessons learned when it was first implemented, and industry in Europe have certainty that carbon pricing is here to stay.
Price Stability
Price volatility for carbon is often cited as a problem in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). In fact, for the second trading period, the price has been relatively stable. The chart below shows the comparative stability of European Union Allowances (EUAs) -- the emissions reduction 'currency' (in blue) -- when compared to the price volatility of other commodities such as coal, oil, and gas.
Comparing the price volatility of European Union Allowances to the volatility of oil, coal, and gas
Source: United Kingdom Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)
Overallocation or Emissions Reductions?
Another charge leveled at the EU ETS is that officials had allocated too many allowances for polluters in the first phase, with no real abatement (greenhouse gas emissions reductions) taking place. It is true that in May 2006, the results from the first year showed that there were fewer emissions than allowances. But was this overallocation or was it, perhaps, that European states, venturing into uncharted territory, had underestimated how cheap and easy it would be for companies to reduce their emissions? The earlier UK emissions trading system, for example, exceeded its five year target in the first year. Companies, once they started to implement greenhouse gas reduction measures, were quite effective at cutting back on emissions, and needed fewer allowances than predicted.
Real Action by Companies
Critics claim that the trading system has not changed behavior. However, a look at the numbers from the Community Independent Transaction Log (CITL), which tracks allowances from the EU ETS member states, shows that in 2005, when the price of carbon was high, emissions went down. As the carbon price fell in 2006, emissions went up. In 2007, the price was so close to zero that there was hardly any carbon constraint in Europe, and there were actually 11.6 million more tonnes of CO2 emitted than allowances allocated for that year. These numbers suggest that the carbon price did in fact influence behavior – it encouraged cuts when the price was higher in the earlier years providing for extra allowances, while a lower price led to an increase in emissions.
The figures fit with early analysis undertaken by economists Ellerman and Buchner, Barry Anderson and others that found significant abatement in the EU ETS in its first years of operation, meaning that companies took real action to reduce their emissions. More research is necessary to confirm these figures, and Ellerman and others will be publishing more analysis next year. But there are strong indications that the carbon price in the first phase was very effective in driving a reduction in greenhouse gases.
The EU Carbon Market Today
So is the carbon market working today? In 2006, only 15% of the companies covered by the ETS were taking the future cost of carbon into account. Point Carbon and others found that a year later, about 65% of companies in the trading system were making their future investment decisions based on having a carbon price – and that is precisely the response needed.
Europe has stuck with cap-and-trade because of its cost-effectiveness and its ability to deliver an environmental outcome.
What are the big lessons we can draw from the early EU experience? First, a market needs scarcity in order to create demand and a carbon price. Second, achieving the right level of scarcity right away is difficult, because governments and companies are nervous and tend to overestimate how difficult and expensive it will be to cut back on emissions. Reducing emissions in practice is much easier, at least in the early years, than we had expected, and that is good news, but it makes it harder to get real demand in the market at the beginning. These early challenges do not mean that cap-and-trade is fundamentally flawed, as some have suggested. Europe has stuck with cap-and-trade because of its cost-effectiveness and its ability to deliver an environmental outcome. Companies do not need to know what the carbon price will be in 2020 (just as they do not know the price for oil or coal will in 2020). They do need to know that there will be a carbon price in 2020, and in Europe at least, they know that the ETS is here to stay.
Critics should step back and look at the overall picture of the EU ETS rather than make judgments on its various elements. In future pieces we will explore issues raised about the EU ETS, and show how many of the criticisms have thus far been misplaced and how Europe has addressed some of the early lessons.

Jay Leno probably wasn't bargaining for 10 insults during his "10@10" segment on Thursday night.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host Jimmy Kimmel joined Jay for the segment on "The Jay Leno Show," two nights after spoofing Jay with a wig and prosthetic chin on his own ABC late night show — and he didn't hold back.
"It's part Sylvester the Cat, it's part Curly from the Three Stooges and part Scrappy Doo," Jimmy explained of how he does his Jay impression. "And if you have silly putty at home to make yourself a nice big Dudley Do-Right chin, that works, too."
Asked what the best prank he'd ever pulled was, Jimmy responded, "The best prank I ever pulled was, I told a guy that five years from now, I'll give you my show. Then when the five years came, I gave it to him and took it back almost instantly," he smiled, making a clear jab at Jay passing the "Tonight Show" on to Conan O'Brien.
Jay then asked, "Ever order anything off the TV?"
"You mean like NBC ordered your show off the TV?" Jimmy grinned.
The barbs continued as Jay asked Jimmy, former host of "The Man Show," about lapdances.
"I don't like [strippers] in general because you have a phony relationship with them for money — similar to when you and Conan were on 'The Tonight Show,' passing the torch," Jimmy said.
Finally, the comedian closed with one last shot.
"Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children — all you have to take care is cars. You've got $800 million for God's sakes, leave our shows alone!" Jimmy said.

Today is Diabetes Art Day. Thanks to Lee Ann, I've loved seeing the submissions over the last couple of years. I'm really not too artsy a person. I don't get good ideas so I haven't participated previously. However, a few days ago, after a really hard week of *trying* to manage blood sugars and being totally lost I looked at my kitchen counter and almost took a photo of the mess. Instead, decided to use that inspiration to participate. Check out the site and take a look at all the others!

Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!
From my Ahnentafel chart:
15. Della CROW
31. Mary L. GOURLEY
62. Alfred T. Gourley
The parents of my 3rd great-grandfather Alfred T. Gourley are a mystery to me. I know he was born in 1813 in Tennessee according to the census and military records. A military enlistment document* on Ancestry.com states he was 5′ 6 1/2″ and had blue eyes, dark hair and fair skin at the age of 21. He was a farmer from Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee, which is where my HAYES and CROW roots go way back as well.
Alfred and his wife Mary Ann BARRY had eight children — four boys and four girls, including my great-great grandmother Mary L. Gourley. The others:
William R. Gourley (b. 1845)
George W. Gourley (b. 1849)
Willard S. Gourley (b. 1851)
Thomas A. Gourley (b. 1855)
Ellen M. Gourley (b. 1858)
Martha J. Gourley (b. 1860)
Elizabeth A. Gourley (b. 1864)
There's a possible pension file match that I need to investigate the next time I'm at the National Archives. That should help me fill in a lot of information (fingers crossed!).
Gourley is also spelled Gourly and Gorley in records I have come across.
* U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914, p. 75, Alfred T. Gourly, Ancestry.com (http://ancestry.com : accessed 28 December 2010); citing Records of the Adjutant General's Office, Register of Enlistments in the U.S. Army, 1798-1914, National Archives Microfilm Publication M233.

I have a repair map I'm working on and I'd like to create 3 'wire' switches that I need to repair to exit the level successfully. Unfortunately, no matter what I do I end up always getting the opposite result. In other words, I have to take a healthy looking switch with wires and make it look mangled - then I can teleport out.
I keep thinking it'd be easy to fix just by doing the opposite but honestly, Vasara and the options "repair' and tag is active don't make sense to me when I specify a type of 'wire'. It seems to logically work when you insert chips, but I don't want users to insert a chip to 'repair' a wire switch.
I have attached my latest work-in-progress map. I'd be grateful if someone could look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
By the way, Vasara kicks butt! Very nice.

Neutrogena Corporation, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, began its success story in 1930, when founder Emanuel Stolaroff, started a small specialty cosmetic company called Natone. In the early years, Natone was a supplier to beauty salons usually associated with the glamour of the film industry. By the 1940's, Natone began manufacturing and distributing cosmetics for the retail market.
In 1954 on a business trip to Europe, Stolaroff heard of an unusual soap developed by Dr. Edmond Fromont, a Belgian cosmetic chemist. Fromont's patented formula produced a mild, clear soap that rinsed quickly and easily from the skin, leaving essentially no soap residue.
Stolaroff believed there was a market for such a high quality soap and arranged to import and distribute the Neutrogena brand product in the United States. Setting the course for future growth, he emphasized the transparency of the soap to clearly communicate its difference.
By 1962, Neutrogena soap was so synonymous with the company image that the company was officially changed to Neutrogena Corporation. Lloyd Cotsen, an integral member of the Neutrogena family, became president of the company in 1967 and made another key decision that would profoundly influence the future of the companyto promote the benefits of Neutrogena soap in the medical profession.
As Neutrogena gained a unique acceptance by the medical profession, a new emphasis was directed toward marketing and research efforts to create a line of safe, mild, premium quality skincare products. In 1973, the company went public and by 1980, Neutrogena entered the hair care market.
Now, more than ever, today's consumers equate health with beauty. Neutrogena stands naturally poised for tremendous future growth and an ever increasing number of satisfied customers.
