Shenendehowa School Superintendent Oliver Robinson reflects on tragic student deaths
The tragic passing of Deanna Rivers and Christopher Stewart leaves us all with heavy hearts, dampened spirits and a sense of emptiness. The harsh reality and the bitter sting of death leaves us with far more questions than answers. It causes us to question our faith and our sense of mortality. Moments like these serve as a powerful reminder of how fragile, how precious life truly is. In times like these we must all engage in reverent reflection and ponder those moments of thankfulness; taking the time to contemplate the swift transitions of life and the human propensity to take it, life itself, for granted. We must all reflect on our lives as marked by the footprints on the sands of time and draw back the blinds and peak through the window of our private predicament.
We were all privileged to have known and interacted with Deanna and Chris. So, let their lives not be in vain. Let their loss of life serve as the catalyst for us to rekindle our faith and reassess the goodness in our own lives. As a school community, as students, as educators, as parents, as responsible adults we must come together in support of the bereaving families and in support of each other. We must endeavor to pause so that our hearts and minds can reconcile, knowing that while we cannot control the length of our life, we can control its width and depth and its meaning to others. Therefore, we should let peace and friendship be our shelter from life's storms.
Inevitably and eventually, we will be strengthened by this adversity and the legacy of Deanna and Christopher will persist in our hearts and minds.

What can I do for my baby to help with her constipation? Are there any foods to relieve it?
Constipation occurs when your baby has difficulty passing stools. A baby who is constipated will strain when pooping; the stools may be hard, dry, or pebble-like. She may go several days or longer without a bowel movement and may become fussy due to discomfort.
Keep in mind that many children do not stool every day, so just because Baby doesn't poop daily does not necessarily mean she is constipated. As long as the stools she passes are not hard and your baby does not strain, this may just be her pattern.
The Effects of Baby's Diet
Generally, formula-fed babies tend to have fewer stools than breastfed babies. A breastfed baby will have stools that are yellowish and often seedy in appearance. The stools of a formula-fed baby will be darker and firmer. (Read more about how food affects Baby's stools.)
What Causes Constipation?
Very young infants will stool quite frequently, but as their intestinal tracts mature and change, and as the food they are eating varies, some will experience constipation. This can be caused by drinking too little water or by sluggish movement of the intestinal tract. It can also be caused by a change in your baby's diet, say, a change from breast milk to formula or from formula to cows' milk. Some babies who drink formula may need to try another type to see if it may help with constipation. Consult with your child's pediatrician. Once your baby has moved to solid foods, there are some foods that can help and some foods that may exacerbate the constipation.
Use these tips as guidelines for treating Baby's constipation:
For a baby under a year:- Consider changing formula if formula feeding
- Avoid rice and bananas as they tend to cause constipation for some babies
- Try offering barley and rice cereal
- Offer pureed pears and prunes
- Add one teaspoon of flax oil to your baby's cereal or bottle once a day
- Try a glycerin suppository (only if your child's pediatrician recommends it)
- Increase fluids
- Increase fiber in her diet (beans, broccoli, peas, bran cereals, high-fiber breads, crackers (be sure to offer plenty of extra fluids as well)
- Increase exercise and movement
- Offer prunes, pears, plums, and peaches (the 4 Ps!)
- Offer toddlers two teaspoons of flax oil (high in Omega three fatty acids and great for preventing constipation) per day

Comments about Eco-Trucks:
We got my son all 3 trucks two summers ago, when he was 1 1/2 years old. He's always loved playing pretend construction worker, and he spent the next couple of weeks playing with them in the backyard constantly and looking up at us frequently and saying "thank you!!" :) 2 years later, they're in as-new condition despite heavy use, and I expect we'll get a few more years out of them yet. We've kept them out of direct sunlight or snow for storage (inside sandbox cover or backyard play-house), so that probably helps, but I'm super pleased at how well they've lasted, how much interest they still hold for him, and how complex yet simple the construction is. Each truck does has 3 or more moving parts, with levers and handles that kids can learn to operate. Pretty awesome toy!

Thorp, Jr. receives the Nassau County Psychological Association's certificate of recognition from Dr. Paul Hurewitz, Co-Chairman of the Legal-Legislative Committee. The award was presented by the Psychological Association in honor of Assemblyman Thorp's contributions and leadership in the areas of special education and mental health during 1973. Entertain Teachers Lynbrook area families are needed to entertain English-speaking European teachers as guests in their homes for a one or two week period this summer, it was announced today by The American Host Program. According to J. Stuart Perkins, Board Chairman of the Host Program, who is President of Volkswagen of America, American Host is one of the few non-governmental programs designed to show the American way-of-life to foreign teachers by pairing them with American families. Mr. Perkins said that being a "Host Family" is open to anyone who has the desire to increase understanding and friendship between Americans and Europeans. Host Families are required to provide a private room, meals for their guest, the opportunity to meet their iriends, neighbors and perhaps fellow teachers and to see some of the points of interest in the area. American Host arranges all transportation. Host Families meet their guest upon arrival in their area. Teachers and Host Families have an opportunity to correspond for at least a month before meeting. Arrangements for par-ticipating as a Host Family can be made by writing to: The American Host Program; Hotel Commodore, Suite 2100; New York, New York 10017 or call (212) 683-6567.

News & Analysis
Why TI does MCU designs in Shanghai
Junko Yoshida
SHANGHAI – Multinational chip companies who've consigned some of their design work to China tend to do so as quietly as possible; but a few leading companies are clearly making deeper inroads in China, and they're not especially shy about it.
Texas Instruments is a good example.
Its newest MCU design center based in Shanghai recently saw its first locally designed device successfully taped out. While TI is not disclosing the size of its team, Scott Roller, vice president of TI Microcontrollers, in a recent interview with EE Times, described the MCU design center in Shanghai as "a sizeable team, with multiple designs going on."
TI's Shanghai-based MCU design center, whose operation started in early 2011, is the newest addition to the company's three others worldwide. They include design centers in Germany, Bangalore and Dallas.
It's important to note that TI's facility in China is not there just to support existing MCU products. Rather, it actually executes some MCU product line development from China. "This is to develop MCUs – built in China for China," said Roller. The design center performs every job – ranging from sales, application developers to system and processor designers and application field engineers – necessary to do the design work in one place. "We cover everything -- from front to back end," said Roller.
Why design in China?
Asked why design in China, Roller gave two straightforward reasons: "First, you can move much faster. Second, by designing it locally, there will be less room for misinterpretation."
Although in theory, that may make sense, not every multinational has gone that far in their public commitment to designing in China.
Earlier this month at the Freescale Technology Forum in San Antonio, Texas, Gregg Lowe, Freescale Semiconductor's new president and CEO, said the China market is in transition from a low-cost manufacturer of electronics products designed in the West to a true high-tech hub with the design capability to create products for its massive domestic market.
Chip vendors who want to sell products in China need a strong presence there, Lowe said. IC vendors don't necessarily need to design their products in China, but they need to have applications engineers and system engineers right there to be successful there, Lowe said.
The fundamental difference in China, however, is China's speed, said Allen Wu, president of ARM China. Design cycles for SoCs in China are generally much shorter, he observed. "From design starts to tape-out, sometimes it takes only five to six months. [Local companies] make decisions much more quickly and they react to the market very fast."
So, by the time multinationals finally reach a decision on a specific design back at headquarters, that may have already become irrelevant on the local Chinese market, explained Wu.
TI's Roller stressed that TI did not build its MCU design center in China "because of the cost." He said that engineering talents may be "a bit cheaper but you don't really save money." TI has done this "because we want to design and produce products closer to where the demand is."
One of the biggest MCU market segments TI is after in China is a smart metering device based on China's state grid program. TI taped out the first product and is sampling it now, said Roller. "This is a huge opportunity for us."
TI's two key MCUs used in China include MSP430 ultra-low-power 16-bit microcontrollers and C2000 32-bit microcontrollers.
Asked which other multinationals are commanding a strong presence in the MCU market in China, Roller mentioned Freescale and Renesas.
Freescale – with a long history in China – may be pulling back a little, TI's Roller said. But he quickly added: "That may change with the new CEO," referring to Freescale's Lowe who was ex-TI executive.
Freescale's Lowe, while at TI, most recently led the Dallas-based company's analog business. TI has already established several analog design centers in China.
At the interview held at the Freescale Technology Forum, Freescale's Lowe acknowledged "Design decisions will move." He said, "You can't just go to Silicon Valley anymore. That's still a very important place to go, but you need to be in all of the places where chips are being designed into systems to be close to customers and understand customer requirements."
-- Additional reporting by Dylan McGrath
At a recent conference, I spoke with a colleague who talked about the high engineer turnover in China and Asia in general with his American company. Essentially, they would become trained and then immediately leave and go to a indigenous competitor. Then ultimately, you don't get the business. Thus, it seems like someone like TI would be weary of such practice.
Ahhh yes. I see this happening constantly. I guess the benefits are greater than the headaches......but for how long.
Given China's lack of IP protection and , I'd be VERY uncomfortable with a design center located there.
This is a good point. I imagine Western companies doing design in China are bending over backwards to do everything possible to protect their IP. Still, it seems risky...
Good point, selinz. How to retain good local employees is always a challenge for multinationals. Would TI be weary? You bet. But I don't think they have much choice here.
Here's what I've heard lately from a colleague of mine in Beijing:
He wrote to me:
"Actually, the job market of chip designers in China are still very strong. And engineers are easy to find another good salary job if they do not like the current salary, corporate culture or even the logo or slogan of a company."
This has been the truth. From ADI to TI, the industry is going China which means they are building big teams in those countries. But do not be fooled, Americans visit those engineers monthly to help them.
WW Thinker
You are correct, engineers in China and Taiwan still lacks the disciplines of the west. Quite often, their bosses push for cost-effectiveness at the expense of the few important details.
quote: TI is after in China is a smart metering device based on China's state grid program. TI taped out the first product and is sampling it now, said Roller. "This is a huge opportunity for us." -- you bet it's a huge opportunity to control costs and precious resources; see PiperJaffray's still useful industry report on those opportunities: http://www.strategicsiliconservices.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/MR-PJ-08162010.pdf
Yeah...after going through the report you've shared it makes much sense.
It is amazing to see that the local companies some time takes only six month from start of design to tape-out! Do they deliver the products with expected quality?
Recently, there was a news about China government kicking off a program that aims to define a national processor architecture:
Does this move have any relation to that?
No, Sanjig. Not directly.
However, I think what gets lost in the West often is China's speed. Once they decide to do something, Chinese moves very fast. Do they cut corners? Some do, others don't. But the biggest challenge facing the multinationals is how to keep up with this China speed, in my humble opinion.
In my experience the emphasis in China is on cost and speed. Quality, meeting specifications, test coverage, etc., not so much. And, keep in mind that it is pretty easy to tape out a spinoff product in 6 months, which is based on a family which took TI years to develop. Furthermore, a lot of those "quick" products developed in China by Chinese companies are knock-off second sources of US IC-s. While Chinese engineers are willing to work harder and longer hours than their US colleagues they have much less experience. In general I do not believe in miracles, like developing a significant new IC from scratch in 6 months.
I do not believe in miracles, either. No doubt a new chip taped out must be a spin-off product...but then, what we can't lose sight of is that these spin-offs must come to the market, very quickly. Otherwise, you lose the window of opportunity in meeting particular needs of a particular customer. Again, we can discuss who is more experienced in or better at meeting the spec as much as we want, but if we don't have a product designed to meet the spec in the first place, we are not even participating in the market opportunity.
Thus, I think TI is making a great move here by installing its MCU design center in Shanghai.
Simon, I think so. 6 month for taping out is reasonable if you use some reference design and want to modify it. Just modify.
How is this trend going to affect the Low cost design centers situated in India? India does not seem to be a good market for manufacturing products, sales i am not so sure compared to China, but my guess is China probably is better.
I don't think there is any question that TI wants to do MCU design in China so that it can be tune with the Chinese customers building products. India, I believe, has a great deal of design talent, but TI wants to be as close as possible to customers in China.
In tune with, as a]close as possible to, the Chinese customers? You can't be serious? TI, like everyone else has a ton of offshore deferred-taxes cash it does not want to return to the US to get taxed. They could care less about where it's designed or for what reason or even about IP protection...a microcontroller is a microcontroller that an APPS TEAM is in tune with he customer on requirements with. The IP protections are a non issue for execs who only care about keeping that offshored cash from coming back and paying for our jobs, roads, schools, retirement, and wars.
India's design talent used to have an edge over China's but I am afraid the margin has shrunk. Access to fab for post-Silicon characterization and design iterations give a huge advantage (while India is busy putting out press releases on its fab plans about once every six months!).
MP Divakar
TI, for one, has its own MCU design center in India. TI's new China MCU design center won't replace it.
on the other hand it has to be recognized that China and Taiwan have massive contract manufacturing operations at the system level that TI wants its MCU designs to be tuned into
India not so much.
True, Peter. It is that "ecosystem" that's making China even stronger than ever before.
Junko, to your point, TI has invested in India starting in the late 80's when many similar businesses were running as far away from it. The initial years for TI in India were loss leaders but TI believed that the market there took longer than in other countries. Overall, investing in India has paid off to TI.
I have a hard time believing the design cycles move much faster in China for MCU's. It can certainly be replicated here in the US and in other places like India.

I think it is smart to have the design center located locally, even just for a spin off product of a product family. But the key is how to keep talents an the IP.
The risks mentioned in the comments above around employee retention and IP protection are very real, but in the end the risk of not being in China is far greater.
The needs of local Chinese customers (and other emerging markets) are simply different than what is required in most of the western world today. Product lines based in China will have the best ability to translate those needs into device specs and execute on them.
I'm glad you're aware that your IP is in danger. I'm curious how you calculate that the risk of not having a design center in China is higher than the risk of losing your IP portfolio. TI has a fantastic legal department, but that has very little impact in China.
How 'IP is in danger' for a digital IP of a MCU? Unless an employee leak out all the rtl and custom block designs, it's really hard for any company to produce a compatible IP product in a short time. And the market won't wait for anyone to do so. That's why the Chinese won't simply copy a complex MCU or SoC product. Analog IPs, on the other hand, needs more protection.
The IP for an MCU fits on a USB thumb drive. You're right, no Chinese PhD making $800/month would take that to his next job for better pay or because his government needs it for a weapons program.
Well everyone here is pretty well correct but what isn't right is that "crazy" photo of Scott Roller! Photographer is doing him no favours!! :))
Check out Scott Roller's Linkedin profile - that explains his smile and the demise of TI's management proficiency. I just spoke to a friend at TI about how they were doing and he mentioned that China was eating their lunch in analog products. Seems China hired several contractors from the US a while ago (unemployed no doubt), paid them handsomely, and they solved their analog process problems within ~3 weeks. Now China is dialed in. No more field advantage for the US.
Like we found with Russian nuclear engineers, unemployed US semiconductor engineers can be a loose cannon for hire.
It is a win-win decision to establish design center for TI in Shanghai.
On one hand, TI could sell more chips to the most market China in globle and get big profit by closing to the demand market.
On the other hand, more Chinese engineer have chance to enter into TI to learn knowledge and accumulate experience.

Poor Construction
By Barnabas
from Bedford, TX
The shelves themselves are nice smooth particle board, but I found that the structure of the frame was lacking in strength. Good shelves, but needs a stronger structure.

Aside of the cleanliness, the location and the food which are all outstanding, what really sets this place apart is the service. Loving what they do, their friendliness exceeds any expectation one may have. Definitely, the place to stay in Trancoso! Be warned! No relation to the homonyms place of Arraial D'Ajuda.

Unrestricted guys in no partucular order: (I excluded Stackhouse since Middleton is already under contact next year.) Martell Webster Metta World Peace AK-47 Matt Barnes Corey Brewer Shawn Marion
The thing with signing Smith... is this: C: Monroe(16 minutes), Drummond (32 minutes) PF: Smith (32 minutes), Monroe (16 minutes) Monroe, Drummond and Smith could all get 32 minutes a game (*if that's what we wanted) at the 4 and 5 positions. Smith averages 35 minutes/game in Atlanta right now. Monroe averages 33 minutes/game for us right now. Smith getting 5 or 6 minutes a game at the three to make these totals possible wouldn't be a big deal, or a bad thing, at all. Don't overblow the "starting lineup". Minutes are minutes.
I believe Iggy could opt-out and become a unrestricted FA, no? He might wanna get out of Denver, as they are really stacked with young guys at the wings.
That's sort of what I'm thinking. You could also shift Smith to SF very easily for stretches with a stretch 4 in the game like Villanueva and Drummond at C. Smith won't come off the bench happily. It would have to be Drummond... which I'm OK with as long as he gets major minutes.
I don't like Josh Smith. I think he's an albatross. Also, Kevin Martin is always hurt (only 2 80 game seasons in 11 years), can't defend and his production is on a downslope. Isn't Debunkalogo a free agent this offseason?
We can sign a FA for somebody else and then trade him to them right after, right? Or is there a hold period for FA signings? Who is under contract for a while and available as a potential all-star SF? Preferably one that plays D.
this guy is available........... Sources: Bobcats more determined to trade Ben Gordon after incident with coach - Yahoo! Sports
That's why I'm so intrigued by it. That lineup just sounds miserable to play against. Monroe fits into it nicely on defense with his positioning and rebounding, quick hands, steals, outlet passing, etc. Can somebody try it on the XBox and see how it works? Seems like we'd match up pretty well against the Heat.
Oh, Ben Gordon, you're not just a contractual or basketball performance disappointment, you're a personal disappointment as well. BG is not a good person. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I haven't heard one person say we shouldn't bring back Calderon (!!). What a historical moment. The board almost agrees on something!! Enough cap-space to sign almost two max FA's after that. The consensus, generally, appears to be J. Smith or A. Iguodala...and then O. Mayo.
I think we should at least investigate the possiblity of trading him and see what we might be able to get in return. I mentioned this thought the other day and I thought I was going to get kicked out of the forum. ...No sacred cows man! (Except Drummond)
We're still thinking about it. You can't trade Jose. His highest value is as an expiring to almost every other team in the league. While expirings are valuable, it makes the value of his talent in trade equivalent to trading Corey Maggette or Charlie Villaneuva. Not to mention, he is now our best player. You don't get better by trading your best player away. You get better by trading Tayshaun and Daye away for a guy who will be your best player. Perhaps there is some trade or opportunity where sending Jose on will benefit the Pistons, but it's really hard for me to imagine it. I feel safe saying, it is probably not an obvious opportunity.
Jose's 70% ts percentage is an attractive quality. He almost has as many treys as prince in only a handful of games.

Empowering local communities to serve child victims of abuse.
Child Advocacy – Putting the needs of child abuse victims first
National Children's Alliance is a professional membership organization dedicated to helping local communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient – and put the needs of child victims first.
What does the National Children's Alliance do?
National Children's Alliance provides training, support, technical assistance and leadership on a national level to local children's and child advocacy centers and communities responding to reports of child abuse and neglect. A children's advocacy center is a child-focused, facility-based program in which representatives from many disciplines, including law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical and victim advocacy, child advocacy, work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse cases.
National Children's Alliance strongly believes that the combined professional wisdom and skill of the multidisciplinary team approach results in a more complete understanding of case issues and the most effective child- and family-focused system response possible.
Child abuse is a pervasive and deadly problem.
Recent statistics show that in 2009, an estimated 763,000 children were determined to be victims of abuse or neglect. As in prior years, neglect was the most common form of child maltreatment, but victims also suffered from physical abuse, sexual abuse and psychological maltreatment. And an estimated 1,770 children died. The numbers tell the bittersweet story of child abuse in America: although the numbers represent a steady decline over the last three years of abused and neglected children, even one abused child is one too many.
However, the decline is good news, and child advocacy centers ("CACs") across the nation are an important part of this success. CACs intervened in some 267,000 child abuse cases last year, and provide over 519,000 individuals with child abuse prevention training - clearly, the dual approach of intervention and prevention is working. Nonetheless, crimes involving children as victims and/or witnesses are among the most commonly underreported. And so, we must continue to focus on education as the key to reaching a far greater number of victims and potential victims. Every adult needs to know the signs of abuse, how to report child abuse, and how to prevent maltreatment.
National Children's Alliance stands for the proposition that communities working together on behalf of child victims of abuse can make all the difference in terms of response and intervention and in the lives of the child victims themselves.
Join us today and make a difference in the life of a child.

Sorry, this story is unavailable
Who was the refs manager at the 2007 RWC?
Paddy O'Brien.
Who had a bad game in 1999, and favoured France in their game v Fiji, andarguably changed the whole of the ensuing match ups?
Paddy O'Brien.
If Fiji had rightly won, NZ would not have met France in the semi's, and NZ would have been in the final.
As many have said, it is all about selling books!

If you have read bevan's book, you would see that the watch was of very small value, it was gold coloured.
But I take your point.
I am intrigued as to why the iRB did not make the officials refuse such a crass gesture.
Posted 13:50 13th August 2012
Rather rich of you to incorrectly claim that NZ always get favoured by suspect calls in the 3N and then lecture GH
Posted 15:39 11th August 2012
@Dingbat32. thanks for your kind words and interesting post. always good to have a little fun from time to time. too much seriousness on these pages, too much of the time methinks :-)
(and by the way, you're totally right about joost. that guy was/is truly extra-ordinary!)
Posted 19:54 10th August 2012
GH you a sad man and should except the defeats with the wins. There may have been suspect calls but this has occurred on many occasions before including many a tri nations games that always favoured Nz but you never minded that.
Have some respect for your country and stop worrying about your own ego and let it go. Tough day tough result to take but be a man and take it and move on.
You are not that great and by the way were certainly not the best team in final in last world cup??
Sad sad sad day for kiwi rugby.
Posted 14:48 10th August 2012
I'm an England supporter but was very surprised that the French try in RWC11 final was allowed to stand after the ball was kicked through by an offside player. Had that been ruled correctly the match wouldn't have been nearly so close, and who knows, NZ might have cut loose as is their wont when they are more than a converted try ahead.
Posted 05:15 10th August 2012
I like your excuses posts, here are South Africas (note -tongue fiurmly in cheek - it is just a bit of fun!)
87 not allowed to play or would obviously have won
91 not allowed to play or would obviously have won
95 won it!
99 Appointed a lunatic as coach, seemingly with a plan to avoid any attempt at winning. Joost nearly spoilt it by single handedly winning games.
03 Failed to learn any lesson from 99
07 won it!
11 Bryce Lawrence, and John Smit failure to respond on the pitch

@rugbyforever..hahaha classic immature response!!! Still not facing the real issue and choosing rather to insult. Again, what's that got to do with the article?? Still being a kid are we??
Posted 07:39 08th August 2012
Why don't you get an adult to edit your comments before posting?
Posted 01:02 08th August 2012
@Moggsy81 If you're going to compare 2011 and 2007, then youll find that the stats for 2007 are definitely more "dodgier" or more shall we say more "extremely unusual". Any logical person, could come to that conclusion!
@rugbyforever NO shame on YOU!!! So now its "sheep-shagging ilk." Whats that got to do with this article??? What country are you from?? So i can insult your country men too, for no apparent reason!!! GH has based his 'opinions' in a biography, on facts.
You cant argue with these facts, they point to 2 things either; he was match fixing, or he was a really in competent ref! BOTH views would have caused controversy, no matter how you slice it! That really is the bottom line buddy! So if you cant handle that, and you want to insult others, then you just need grow the hell up, get over it, and stop being a little kid!!! These ill informed, "GH is a soar loser, blah balh, sheep shagger, blah blah, blah" rubbish comments are getting tiresome!!!
Posted 11:23 07th August 2012
The howls of fixing and cheating in the 2011 final came long and hard before Henry aired his thoughts on 2007. Those making the most noise about 2011 are now the most indignant about the 2007 comments. It's called blind envy.
Posted 10:31 07th August 2012
100% correct
Posted 01:23 07th August 2012
I am ASTOUNDED Graham Henry has the gaul to even mutter the words MATCH FIXING! Did he even watch the 2011 final?
NZ are good but they got carried through that final by some awful reffing and what else can you say about Richie McCaw at the breakdown?
France should have won that final and had that ame not been in New Zealand they would have.
Posted 08:58 06th August 2012
....by the way, for completeness, and to avoid perception of bias, here is my take on the French version of RWC folklore (hoping not to insult any French fans out there):
87 too much "celebrating" after beating Aus in Sydney
91 English cheating / punch on Blanco / biased ref
95 disallowed Benazzi try / too much rain
99 more "celebrating" after NZ semi
03 rain / boring English kicking
07 shockingly lucky early try / boring English kicking
11 bad ref / NZ press smear campaign
("celebrating" = anything from booze/women the night before to cheeky cigarettes at half-time!)

Sorry to hear that you are so sad and bitter by such a irrational rant.
Logic would say that if there was any truth in it then you would have already heard of these underhand methods
Posted 11:25 03rd August 2012
NZ have only won 2 World Cups, both at home!!!!
We've heard about allegations of food poisoning in 1995 and now (5 years after the event!) accusations of match fixing. When can we expect to hear what foul and underhand methods were responsible for the other losses as clearly it seems to be against all the laws of nature for the AB's to actually lose in a fair manner!
Shame on Graham Henry and all his sheep-shagging ilk.

Munster, the Irish were penalised for illegal scrummaging, you're required in the laws to push straight and not screw or wheel the scrum. It was an easy decision. The 2nd drop goal attempt came about because the 1st attempt was touched in flight. There was no 50 -50 about it, oh.. except the Dagg yellow. Yep benefit of the doubt with that decision.
Posted 00:44 03rd August 2012
Haha! Well we're probably all guilty of that, me included and especially during the game when I sometimes rant on about the ref or the opposition cheating but usually the reality kicks in watching the replays and I calm down.
Good luck to England and Bath

@7ton - Thanks, I have to say though I get really one-eyed if its England or Bath.

I've gotten some really awesome vintage M gear off of Ebay. I have one of the cool knit hats the alumni wear (the cap with the knit ball on the top) and a 1998 RoseBowl champions sweater. I was looking and still looking for any Orange Bowl memorabilia. That would kick ass. |
17 weeks 6 days ago | Makes you wonder |
Makes you wonder what happened that made him have such an about-face. Recruiting at the BCS level is just so corrupt and crooked that nothing really should be out of the question anymore. |
17 weeks 6 days ago | Understood |
I understand that, but it's not like this is the most important decision he will make in his life up to this point. If you were still undecided... why decide in the first place. Just strange. |
17 weeks 6 days ago | Don't get it |
I just don't get it with this kid. My head hurts. I guess if he picks Michigan it will all be worth it. |
17 weeks 6 days ago | Just plain strange |
Just plain strange. Is this what recruiting is coming to. If you were going to decommit so quickly... WHY DID YOU COMMIT IN THE FIRST PLACE? Although... This couldn't have happened to a classier program /s Let's hope he picks the guys in Maize and Blue and keeps that commitment. |
18 weeks 3 days ago | Maybe |
Maybe you are all being a little hard on him? He got solid playing time on a solid defensive unit. That alone should give him credit for being a solid player as a TRUE FRESHMAN. This kid is only going to improve. Perhaps we should have a thread on the real suprise from the 2012 class: Ojemudia who had more playing time despite needing more size and technique. We really are spoiled with that 2012 class... So much talent. Can't wait to see how the 2013 guys play, but overall, we can tell that the 2012 class will be solid/significant contributors for another 3 years. |
19 weeks 6 days ago | ... |
I'm sorry having a differing opinion than you makes me a Sparty. I've been a Michigan fan since the fourth grade, so I am not going to argue with that. Honestly I hope I am wrong, but I just do not think Morris is going to be as good as Gardner is and will be. |
19 weeks 6 days ago | I am not a big fan |
I am not a big fan of this approach if it is indeed true. I think we should have taken a second QB in the 2013 class (I am not sold on Morris being the long term answer), this means that we should take 2 in 2014 and possibly 2015. Assuming Gardner doesn't get the redshirt for 2014 this is our depth chart: RS JR Bellomy RS(?) FR Morris Not very ideal, but I guess thats why they pay the coaches the big bucks. |
21 weeks 4 days ago | Word. |
The only way this could be better for Michigan fans who hate ND is if it turns out that it was Braxton Miller posing as Lennay Kekua and then Miller and Te'o get into an epic fist fight of the ages only to be simultaneously destroyed by Bo Schembechler riding on a Wolverine while Brady Hoke screams TREMENDOUS. |
21 weeks 5 days ago | What's amazing |
What's amazing to me is how this is the sidestory in the sport's world right now. With the Teo scandal/what-the-hell-is-going-on-here-ordeal I just would never have guessed that this sack of shit and his one testicle could admit to cheating for all these years and it would be second place in terms of shock value in sports today. Either way, glad to see him fall, when a story is too good to be true, it's most likely too good to be true. P.S. --- I hope his charity changes its name. |
27 weeks 6 days ago | Slick |
Those are just slick. For all the 'traditionalists' I hope we get a uniform that cool in the near future. P.S: The ones we wore against Bama were also pretty sweet. |
28 weeks 1 day ago | Shame |
Just a shame he never reached his potential as a monster athlete. Great guy none the less based of his interviews. |
28 weeks 1 day ago | Matter of perspective |
I personally think that Teo is what the Heisman should be about. An extremely talented Senior leader leading his team. Woodson was great, but he was on a Defense with so much talent that it did not rest on his shoulders alone to carry the team. And I brought the "I am not an ND fan" thing up because I just don't want people on this blog to think I am a ND troll. PS: I totally respect what you are saying. I am not trying to knock it down, just saying my own opinion. |
28 weeks 1 day ago | Don't want to start any flaming |
But you should have understood what I was meaning. Teo has the leadership skills AND the athletic superiority that few can claim to have. If you think I am an ND fan, I am not. I just think if ever there was a second Defensive player to win the Heisman, it should be Teo. |
28 weeks 1 day ago | Michigan fan |
I have been a Michigan fan since I was in 4th grade. I was a Freshman in high school in 2008. My two lasting memories of that year were the Wisconsin comeback and the Ohio State game. I remember Michigan men, the players, fighting with their own coaches. There was never any doubt in my mind since then, that Rich Rodriguez never was going to be the answer. It was a devastating day. I grew up being told by my dad that Lloyd Carr was a great man, and to this day I remember the players carrying Lloyd off the sideline after the Capital One Bowl. To tell me I am less of a Michigan fan than you are because I was not a fan of a coach that lost his team numerous times is sad. I am a Michigan fan, but not a fan that follows blind faith. If I ruffle some MGOBLOG feathers, sorry. I love this team, I will not forgive Rich Rodriguez for turning something that I loved into a joke, a punchline in the sports world. That's all I have to say in response to that. |

Is there any product that can be purchased to mend holes in vinyl siding? | |||
Why? Get a new piece of siding and replace the damaged one. Jaybee | ||||
It's about a 15 min. job to replace the whole piece. Why would you want a patch that's going to show? May want to pick up one of these tools to unsnap and help pop it back in place. http://images.search.yahoo.com...q&.crumb=Xwi4JCiNfjZThis message has been edited.

I agree with both comments, but what about trying to match new with existing faded ? "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
If it's the exact same brand, so it will all match. It sure will look better then some stuck on patch. joecaption | ||||

Blog Entry
Novell released last week to its partners and authorized beta sites GroupWise Ascot. We are officially entering the final phase of product delivery – AUTHORIZED BETA!!
As anticipated and projected, GroupWise Ascot was released this past week to our authorized BETA sites. Our first beta call is scheduled for Tuesday morning. We are very excited about this final phase of the development cycle. We are code/feature complete, we have done our first couple rounds of validation on the new features and our Quality Control team has also completed a test pass of current features.
We will now concentrate our efforts on hardening the product and getting it ready for final release. We continue to plan and project final release in 'Early Q4'. This phase includes several significant and aggressive internal/external roll out initiatives. Of course, all of our BETA sites, will roll out the product in some fashion. Most will be in pilot systems with ever increasing participation. There are more than 100 beta sites that have been included in our Extended BETA program. We will also roll out GroupWise Ascot to an ever increasing population within Novell.
This will eventually include all of our production servers. We have been in production on our internal development system for several months now. This system supports several dozen engineers, employees and Business Unit executives. We also plan a Lighthouse program where we will invite 3-4 of our customers to roll out GroupWise Ascot into their production environments before we officially ship the product to the general public.
We will continue to highlight the new features in this blog - so stay tuned and come back often!

Dean, a (MS) Office plugin for Vibe OnPrem was planned to be released a while back. Ask Tracy if you did not hear about it. Guess it's not to be released with 3.1 then.

Re: Office Plug-in
Submitted by dlythgoe on 16 June 2011 - 2:09pm.
Of course I now know what you are talking about :) I guess the Open Office part threw me off.
Yes - we did have plans to include a MS Office Plug-in with Novell Vibe OnPrem as part of Evergreen. Unfortunately, that company/technology was recently acquired and the opportunities to complete a transaction have gone dark.
We are re-evaluating our options and will let you know if a solution presents itself. As of now, there will not be a MS Office plug-in technology included with Evergreen.

For more than 20 years, NIAID has funded the Sexual Awareness for Everyone (SAFE) study at The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio to reduce risky behaviors that often lead to STDs.
Volunteer for NIAID-funded clinical studies related to sexually transmitted diseases on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Join us! Volunteer today for HIV research studies.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are an important global health priority because of their devastating impact on women and infants and their inter-relationships with HIV/AIDS. STDs and HIV are linked by biological interactions and because both infections occur in the same populations. Infection with certain STDs can increase the risk of getting and transmitting HIV as well as alter the way the disease progresses. In addition, STDs can cause long-term health problems, particularly in women and infants. Some of the health complications that arise from STDs include pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, tubal or ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer, and perinatal or congenital infections in infants born to infected mothers.
NIAID supports research for more effective prevention and treatment approaches to control STDs. This includes:
In addition to its key research areas, NIAID addresses emerging issues related to STDs. For example, antimicrobial (drug) resistance has impeded the treatment of several STDs, most notably gonorrhea. NIAID supports research to better understand the mechanisms of resistance and discover alternate treatments.
