UK Milestone users awoke to some good news this morning, as Motorola Europe's Facebook page announced that Android 2.1 would finally be available for their phones. Forgoing the over-the-air option, Motorola opted to update their phones through PC download, a method similar to the roll out of 2.1 in Canada . Users can find details for the update here, and follow the instructions to download the new firmware.
As a Canadian Milestone user, I can attest that the update is a painless procedure that takes only 10 minutes at maximum. Expect your phone to need two restarts (one while updating, and the other to finalize everything), and to be unable to receive calls or text messages during the update. Long live the Commonwealth!

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said in budget hearings March 27 that he is dissatisfied with the Defense Department's limited role in defending cyberspace and criticized the Homeland Security Department's ability to oversee civilian cybersecurity.
"Most of us who have been through an airport have no confidence in the technological capability of the Department of Homeland Security," he said.
With $3.4 billion requested for fiscal 2013, cybersecurity is one of the few areas of expanding investment in an otherwise lean DOD budget, Army Gen. Keith Alexander, commander of the U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

GOP's alternative cyber bill sets up 'classic Washington duel'
Alexander called cybersecurity a team sport in which DOD cooperates with DHS and the FBI. He said the Cyber Command's primary responsibility is to protect DOD networks and respond to attacks from outside U.S. borders, while DHS has responsibility for protecting civilian infrastructure in the U.S.
The hearing on the fiscal 2013 budget requests for the U.S. Strategic and Cyber Commands became a duel over opposing views of how the nation's cyber defense should be structured, with McCain, the committee's ranking Republican, maintaining that DOD should be given complete responsibility.
McCain said the idea that DHS should oversee the security of civilian and privately owned networks was "most curious" and called the separate roles of the departments "stovepipes at the ultimate."
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) defended the DHS role, saying that the teamwork approach does not create siloed missions but relies on cooperation and information sharing.
McCain and Lieberman have introduced competing cybersecurity bills that underscore their different approaches. Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S. 2105) is a comprehensive bill that would give DHS authority to oversee minimum security requirements for designated privately owned critical infrastructure. McCain's Secure IT Act (S. 2151) focuses only on enabling information sharing between the public and private sectors and includes no role for DHS and no security requirements for private infrastructure.
Lieberman dismissed criticism from McCain that his bill would create a regulatory bureaucracy. "Shame on us if we look at this as business regulation," he said. "This is cybersecurity."
One area of agreement in the hearing was the importance of cybersecurity, which Alexander and Air Force Gen. C. Robert Kehler, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, called one of the most pressing threats to national security. Alexander called the theft of intellectual property from U.S. defense contractors by China "astounding."
Kehler agreed that the theft of civilian intellectual property is a threat to national security but said that a military response to online espionage currently is not an option for the United States. "Using the rest of Stratcom would be out," he said. The solution is to make such theft as difficult as possible. "Our intellectual property is not well protected, and we can do a better job of protecting it."
McCain criticized DOD's cyber strategy as too dependent on defense and "unsuccessful in dissuading cyber aggression."
Although not advocating an offensive strategy for cyberspace, Alexander said that U.S. cyber defense needs to become more proactive. "Today we are in the forensic mode," he said. "I think we should be in the prevention mode."
He said the Cyber Command can do this with increased cooperation with civilian agencies and with the private sector. The military needs visibility into not only its own networks but global networks outside its control, and this visibility should come from the networks' operators rather than Cyber Command or the NSA, he added.
"I do not believe we want the military inside our networks, watching it," he said.
Alexander recommended expanding the current Defense Industrial Base pilot program, in which DOD and NSA supply information, including threat signatures, to selected defense contractors in exchange for information gathered from contractors' systems.
DIB is being expanded, but a report on the program done early in the pilot phase by Carnegie Mellon University found that NSA provided few signatures to private partners that the companies did not already have and that the companies were able to identify threats without the signatures using tools unknown to NSA.
Alexander acknowledged early shortcomings in DIB but said "that doesn't mean we can't do better," and that communication between DOD and its private partners has improved because of the program.

You are right about NIPR, but OMG....DHS is totally disfunctional and should be disbanded. Stovepiping MAXIMUS!
Ravi is right- neither department is competent to handle the mission. Great techs and skills, but most is wasted on internecine turf battles, rather than mission. DHS and DOD should both take all IT and telecom away from their component agaencies, and common-service it. It would save billions, and with a rationalized structure, security would be a lot easier.
Time for the tea party to start trimming the budget by eliminating a whole department spawned from fear after 911 that has proven to be a wart on the taxpayers backside.
Given the long term implications and critical nature of an effective and efficient Cyber Defense program, instead of DOD or DHS, I would recommend having a separate Department and component agencies for Cyber Defense that is built Top Down as an exclusive authority over cyber defense and security under the President. This department can partner with other allied nations, like the NATO, in collaborative defense of the global cyberspace from hostile elements.
I know "Washington" is big, but these egos are bigger and we ain't getting a whole that greater'n the sum of its parts. November's comin' - it's been a while hopefully we can get a crop in there that can work together for the good of the poeple.

Alibaba Cleans Up 'Gray Market' for Some Prestigious Brands
Labels That Open Tmall Stores Get Help in Curbing Unauthorized Vendors
Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is rolling out a powerful new incentive to attract luxury brands: removing some listings from its online shopping sites.
Like many premium brands, Burberry PLC had been fretting about a flood of discount Burberry products—some of them fakes—on Alibaba's two big marketplaces, which accounted for 80% of China's estimated $300 billion in online shopping last year. Burberry hadn't authorized any of those vendors to sell its goods....

Software Puts Your Plant on Fast-Forward
New automation software lets you 'TiVo' your process, while Johnsonville Sausage finds a neat trick to make SAP data more usable in the plant.
Technology will continue to play a greater role throughout the meat and poultry category's supply chain. The requirement to track data across all operations will only increase as companies seek to drive operational costs down. This is as evident in the systems that control and machinery and manage production processes as it is in those that provide track and trace for a recall.
Consider this Jan. 9 announcement by Agrculture Secretary Tom Vilsack: "Our workload is at record highs, we have less money and fewer people and work to do, and we tried to address how do you do that without interrupting service." That statement, along with the announcement that USDA will close 259 offices, labs and other facilities, places a heavier burden on inspectors. It also places a heavier burden, but also an opportunity, on plants.
"When an inspector goes through the plant's logs to see they've been monitoring everything properly, if there are gaps in the reports, the inspector is less likely to find issues that warrant a closer look," says Michael Blanchette, regional sales manager for NuTEC (www.nutecmfg.com, New Lenox, Ill.). That's why, beyond selling patty formers and meat depositors to processors, NuTEC and other suppliers to the meat industry advise customers not just about the obvious business priorities -- accurate weights and high throughput -- but also on issues such as "making sure the sanitizing chemicals will meet their requirements for, say, clean-in-place without damaging their machines."
The information trail begins at the grinders, formers, weigh scales, inspection systems and other machines, where quality personnel pull and record data on samples. The data also can be used to monitor and control equipment and integrate pieces into larger production systems. Turnkey equipment vendors who manufacture, sell and in cases take responsibility for full line installations have increasingly offered such automation systems.
Food Processing has covered such systems in the past, including the Information That Matters automation offering from Heat and Control, (www.heatandcontrol.com), Hayward, Calif. The system can pull together line data at the manufacturing execution system (MES) level for incorporation into plant initiatives such as key performance indicators (KPIs) and scorecard-type displays of overall equipment effectiveness to be used by plant machine interfaces, office desktop or even mobile applications. Symbolic of many of these software systems, Information That Matters has evolved in just one year.
Object-based automation
A year after launching the system, Heat and Control has upgraded it with a new version, ITM Plant iT, which joins the MES layer together with the real-time control and engineering layers in a single, integrated environment. The solution is based on industry standards, such as ISA 88 and ISA 95. Using a standard SQL database plant server for a turnkey solution, it can feed data across operations, such as production case counts by order; moving averages of checkweights; lot tracking from materials/ingredients to finished packages; and maintenance data down to real-time control and information management of error codes.
Engineers versed in the most current offerings of control industry systems will appreciate that the system is just as up-to-date. A true, object-oriented engineering environment eliminates custom control coding and in many cases all control coding in favor of click-and-drag graphical objects, with only parameters needing to be entered. Heat and Control provides a library of objects for all machines, with programming embedded inside. These are "dragged" together to create automation systems for a turnkey line automation system. The user or any machine vendor can contribute machine objects in a multi-vendor plant.
"Our objects contain the control logic, real-time control visualization at the human-machine interface layer and all the MES data, all in the same object," says Chris Farver, global director for controls and information at Heat and Control.
This level of integration allows processors to "jump the gap" between disparate systems to significantly reduce the time and effort of automating a line, adds Paul Nowicki, global information engineer for Heat and Control.
Via a secure Internet connection, Nowicki and Farver took this writer for a remote tour of a live system running at a customer's plant in Detroit. In the process, four conveyor lines were auger-feeding seasoning to be mixed in a tumble-drum with a snack product, then packaged with a multi-head computerized combination weigher and bagmaker.
At the control level, animated graphic displays of the machinery and parameters of concern to operators were shown. Also like a current-generation control offering, clicking on the tumble-drum showed data on product flow and asset status at the time of the demo; control programming was also viewable in runtime. One especially useful aspect of the system is its ability to essentially re-run historic process control and MES data for troubleshooting and continuous improvement.

Ubuntu's Self-Appointed Benevolent Dictator For Life: 'Whole Patent System Is A Sham'
from the and-he-should-know dept
Given that history, perhaps it's only fair that his title in the Ubuntu community is "Self-Appointed Benevolent Dictator for Life". It was using the equivalent acronym "sabdfl" that Shuttleworth took part recently in a Google+ chat organized by Muktware, where he had some scathing things to say about Microsoft's use of patents:
the biggest mistake Microsoft made was to decide that patents would be an effective defence against new competitors because that stops you from really innovating yourselfAnd about the patent system in general:
The whole patent system is a sham, unfortunately. Patents were invented to encourage inventors to publish their trade secrets, because society would benefit from the disclosure. But we now allow patents on things you could never keep secret in the first place, like software and business methods and medicines. That's insanity. Innovation happens because people solve problems, not because they might get a monopoly on it.Shuttleworth's successful record in business means that his words ought to carry more weight with supporters of patent monopolies than they might if he were just a free software project leader. After all, in a world where money talks, half a billion dollars just dismissed the patent system as a "sham."

On Saturday, Terrebonne Parish suffered a true loss with the passing of Mike Voisin.
On Saturday, Terrebonne Parish suffered a true loss with the passing of Mike Voisin.
There is little that can be said to lessen the sadness being felt by Mike's family, friends and the residents of Terrebonne Parish. However we can state without question that Mike Voisin represented the best of Terrebonne Parish.
Mike was certainly a tremendous ambassador and statesmen for our seafood industry, our community and our culture. Because of Mike's leadership and tireless efforts, the Louisiana oyster industry has grown to become a force in Louisiana and the rest of the United States.
Mike always worked to better our community through his extensive volunteer work on the various boards and commissions on which he gladly served. It is safe to say that Mike's service has had a positive impact in every corner of our community.
I am personally deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to work closely with Mike on many occasions. I greatly benefited from his counsel and will miss his friendship and his mentoring.
I ask that the people of Terrebonne Parish continue to keep the Voisin family in their thoughts and prayers. We hope that they take comfort in the fact that Mike made a lasting difference in our parish, our region, our state and our country. He certainly made a lasting difference in my life, and for that I will be eternally grateful.


text: Review: Land Rover Range Rover TDV6 Vogue SE The most vital of the vital statistics is this\: the new Range Rover TDV6 diesel is more than 450kg lighter than the old V8 diesel. It's a perfect example of the virtuous circle of weight reduction. The aluminium body accounts for about 300kg of that. This means it can get away with the lighter engine, which saves another 100+kg, and, lo and behold, the new car accelerates just as well as the old one but uses about a quarter less fuel. Which means the tank itself can be smaller, so you've saved about another 25kg when the tank's full, and so the virtuous circle keeps on turning.The new vehicle makes all its moves with appreciably less effort. I drove to meet the new Range Rover in a RR Sport with the same engine. The RRS, too, is 450-odd kilos more versus the - bigger - new car. When you ask the Sport to accelerate or turn or brake, it will do it well enough, but not before it has tensed its muscles, filled its lungs and furrowed its brow. The new full-size RR just does it.That's not to say the new TDV6 Range Rover is a particularly sporty vehicle\: it doesn't have the active anti-roll of the V8 versions, so it sways a bit. And the new electric steering is so remote the front wheels might as well be on the dark side of the moon. A Cayenne is more fun (and lighter still). But the TDV6 is a very serene way to get along briskly. It floats a little on big undulations, but the adaptive dampers tighten it in curves, so that's not a concern.Once again, the RR stakes its claim to be a luxury car - as quiet and smooth and plush as the big limo rivals. Probably quieter than most because there's less road noise, and smoother because there's less faux-sporty silliness in the chassis. And, of course, the view out is better.But there's something more, as came into focus when driving it amid some very hostile Yorkshire weather. When you go off-road, it'll surmount terrain you'd find tricky on foot. Which means that, back on the road, it swishes through floods, mud and snow and hardly notices. Of course, that's no use at all on busy roads, because there will always be stranded superminis blocking your path. But out where it's bleak and lonely and night's closing in, that indomitability is true luxury.The numbers2993cc, V6, 4WD, 258bhp, 600Nm, 13.34kpl, 196g/km CO2, 0-100kph 7.4secs, 210kph, 2160kgThe verdictUnstoppable, serene and luxurious as a RR should be.

World in Conflict (also known as WiC or WIC) is a real-time tactical video game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows and the Xbox 360. The game was released in North America on 18 September 2007 and was included in our testing as it is a recent DirectX 10 game title. It also has a threaded engine for multi-core processor support, which is ideal for this testing. The plot in World in Conflict is to defend their country, their hometown, and their families in the face of Soviet-led World War III, delivering an epic struggle of courage and retribution. You are a field commander leading the era's most powerful military machines in the heroic effort to turn back the invasion…one city and suburb at a time. Let's get on to the benchmarking! WIC was tested using the most recent patch available, which is patch number 10.
Benchmark Results with a GeForce GTX 295 Graphics Card: World In Conflict showed a 10-12 average FPS difference between the Athlon II X2 250 and the Phenom II X2 550 processors at both 1280×1024 and 1920×1200 resolutions. The AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition was clearly in the lead and rightly so as it has a faster clock frequency and more physical cores.

When you are considering snapshot technology, ask these questions of your vendor:
1. What technology do you use? Copy-on-write, redirect-on-write, Black Magic?
2. How will my performance be affected by having 5 snapshots of a volume? 20?
3. Do I have to dedicate space to snaps ahead of time?
4. How much space does the first snapshot take?
5. What is the block granularity of your snap technology?
The biggest difference to consider is the underlying technology. When an application writes to a disk using the most common snapshot technology, copy-on-write, the snapshot provider copies the contents of the block being overwritten to a new location in the snapshot file. Copy-on-write requires three I/Os for a write-to-read the current contents of the block, write the new data and write the old data to the snapshot. Redirect-on-write snaps, from NetApp's Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) and ZFS, among others, write the new data to free space on the disk and update the file system, or volume, metadata to include the new block in the current data set and the old one in the snapshot.
Where copy-on-write requires three I/Os per write, redirect-on-write, like a system without snaps, still performs only one. Note that both techniques require metadata updates, but they're not significant to system performance as they're almost always cached. Copy-on-write snaps can usually be sent to a different RAID set or disk tier while redirect-on-write snaps usually have to be in the same tier as the running data.
Then there are VMware's log file snapshots. These store the block changes in a log file, freezing the original data in the virtual machine disk (VMDK). While this technique creates snapshots quickly and can be space-efficient, it means that all disk I/O must check each snapshot in turn to see if it has the latest version of the disk block. VMware snaps can significantly slow down your system if you keep them around too long or create more than two or three snapshots of a VM.

Chairman Fred Upton on ObamaCare Oversight & Fairness For All
Delivering the Weekly Republican Address, House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) highlights efforts to provide fairness for all Americans under the president's health care law, and get to the bottom of what went wrong with its rollout. With his committee set to hear from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday, Upton notes that "the bipartisan chorus has been growing ... to delay the penalty that Americans would face for being unable to purchase insurance through this broken system."
At the end of the address –
recorded in the committee's hearing room –
Hey there. I'm Michigan Representative Fred Upton, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Our panel has been active in crafting solutions to improve health care for the American people, as well as conducting thoughtful oversight of the president's health care law.
Over the last year, we have become all too familiar with the troubled rollout of the law with its broken promises, missed deadlines, delays, special waivers, and now website crashes.
This week, in this committee room, four of the lead contractors responsible for the troubled healthcare.gov website testified about what went wrong.
Next week, we will hear directly from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Despite hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars invested, the website still does not work for most.
At a time when we can do everything from ordering a pizza, flowers, or airline tickets, or banking and paying bills, they expect the same reliable service from healthcare.gov – and it's still not ready for primetime.
Over the months leading up to the October 1 launch, top administration officials and lead contractors appeared before this committee, looked us in the eye, and assured us repeatedly that everything was "on track."
Except that it wasn't, as we now know all too well.
The broken healthcare.gov website has captured the nation's attention, but this is more than a website problem. We are also concerned about what happens next.
Will enrollment glitches become provider payment glitches?
Will patients show up at their doctor's office or hospital only to be told they aren't in the system?
And is the personal information Americans provide as part of the enrollment process safe from cyber hackers and identity theft.
Oversight is not about blame – it is about accountability… transparency. And it's about fairness for the American public.
In a few short months, families across the country will be subject to penalties under the law's individual mandate.
How can the administration punish innocent Americans by forcing them to buy a product many cannot afford, from a system that does not work?
And what about the promises that health care costs would go down, and that Americans could keep their health plans if they liked them, "No matter what?"
The reality in communities across
And millions of Americans are receiving unwelcome notices that their plans are being terminated. Believe it or not, more people are receiving cancellation notices in just three states than are applying in all 50 states.
This is not what health reform promised.
In the past few days, the bipartisan chorus has been growing to delay the individual mandate, to delay the penalty that Americans would face for being unable to purchase insurance through this broken system.
This is good news.
The business mandate was delayed, and it's only fair that individuals and families receive the same treatment.
Likewise, we should look for bipartisan solutions to allow Americans to keep their current insurance.
After all, that was President Obama's solemn promise during the health care debate.
We will continue working toward patient-centered reforms that keep costs down for folks, all the while improving quality of care. This is a matter of fairness for all.
If you are facing hardships as a result of the law, we want to hear from you. Please go to http://gop.gov/YourStory to share your experience.
Thank you. And God Bless.

According to the Internet the Avanti Giro has the following :
Crankset: FSA Vero Compact 50/34
and the Reid Osprey has :
Prowheel alloy 42/52T 170MM
Going by what has been said above the Avanti has easier lower gears. The Reid Osprey weighs in at 10.2kgs.. Any1 know what the Avanti weighs?... Nothing more annoying when they dont display bike weights IMO...
Its a trade off, Avanti is easier lower gears but costs $109 more than the Reid. I'm interested to know what the Avanti weighs..
Avanti is a pretty good brand, I'd expect the weight to be around mid to high 9 kg. You'd probably have to go in store to see it and confirm though. Don't be put of by bike weight though, how the bike rides and feels (no matter how light or heavy the bike is) will largely be due to the frame. I'd expect that the avanti has a better frame and parts (other than the derailleurs and shifters, they are the same).
Too many people judge bikes by their weight, which is why (I think) most manufacturers don't display their bike weights. Unless you are a professional where every second counts) generally total bike weight doesn't matter too much and it will mainly only affect you when you are climbing or accelerating. Here is a video I found by durian riders about weight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UisTybib ... plpp_video

There were 4,442 more restaurants in the U.S. in fall 2012 than there were in fall 2011, according to a recent U.S. restaurant census conducted by The NPD Group, a leading global information company.
The total number of U.S. restaurants is now 616,008, a 0.7 percent increase over last year, based on NPD's "Fall 2012 ReCount," which is a count of commercial restaurant locations in the United States compiled in the spring and fall each year.
The "Fall 2012 ReCount," which includes restaurants open as of September 30, 2012, shows that most of the increase in units were in the quick-service restaurant segment. The segment showed a 1 percent increase in units, or an additional 4,037 units.
Full-service restaurant units, which include casual-dining, midscale/family-dining, and fine-dining restaurants, remained relatively stable from the "Fall 2011ReCount."
The total chain restaurant count grew to 276,238, or a 1.1 percent increase compared to last year's count.
Independent restaurant units remained stable at a total count of 339,770, a slight increase of 0.4 percent, which is the second consecutive increase for independents since 2009, NPD reports.
According to The NPD Group's "CREST," which tracks consumer use of commercial and noncommercial foodservice outlets daily, total restaurant traffic was up 1 percent for the year ending November 2012, compared to the same period last year.
U.S. consumers made 60 billion restaurant visits during the period.
"The changes in spending, consumer visits, and unit growth, while slight, are, at least, on the positive side," says Greg Starzynski, director of product management, NPD Foodservice. "I expected a cautious approach to unit expansion as consumer visits improved, and I have no reason to suspect that will change in the foreseeable future."

OMSA 1.x processes in Linux may not shut down when switching to single-user mode.
Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator (OMSA) 1.7 and 1.8 may leave processes running after switching to single-user mode specifically on Red Hat Linux 2.1 Advanced Server. The omsad service creates additional threads when started; however, this process may fail to stop when manually stopping the service or when issuing the command init 1 to switch the system into single-user mode. Restarting the system works correctly since all remaining processes are terminated before the system reboots.
|Dell Software Engineering plans to address this issue in a future OMSA release.
As a workaround, perform the following step:
Use the "ps -aux" command to list the process ID and "kill" command to stop the service.
List the omsad process ID using the command ps -aux, and use the Linux command kill with the ID to manually stop the omsad service.

No Such Thing As A Good Blind Date--A Brandy Alexander Mystery
After moving back to South Philadelphia,28 year old Brandy Alexander has just bought the house she grew up in. Now she's broke and jobless, so when an old high school buddy offers to fix her plumbing in exchange for free room and board, Brandy reluctantly agrees. Her reluctance stems from the fact that her old friend, Toodie, is a little on the eccentric side. Her reluctance turns to full-scale freak-out when she finds a dismembered body in a freezer ...
No Such Thing As A Secret
When Brandy Alexander, a young woman in her late twenties, comes home to South Philadelphia to participate in her friend's wedding, she is unprepared for the events that follow. Her best friend John's boat is "accidentally" blown up--with her friend on it! Everyone keeps telling Brandy it was an unfortunate accident, but Brandy knows better. In the days before the boating accident, John told her he had taken pictures of a young man who ended up being ...

Christen Reiner is the 2012 Mom Congress Delegate for Colorado. She is a former elementary school teacher and the former PTO president. She reinvigorated the group, increasing membership with new, enthusiastic volunteers who have raised over $20,000 for the school.
What book is currently on your nightstand? Right now I have a Reminisce Magazine and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I have Unbroken on my Kindle waiting for me, but I haven't had much reading time, lately!
One thing that is going great in education in your state: Choice! It's the most direct route to opportunity. Parents are empowered—they have the option of finding the program that works best for their child instead of being locked into a neighborhood school.
One thing you wish could be improved in education in your state: Obviously, the budget cuts are high on my improvement wish list! Not only are we experiencing higher class sizes, but we are losing the extracurricular aspect of education: after school programs, instrumental instruction, even "specials" like Library, PE, Art and Music. This loss to our children–and our future–pains me.
Your favorite teacher (and why): This is a hard question! Fortunately, I have had many fantastic teachers in my life. My student teaching mentor, Sharon Leslie, is an amazing teacher and leader. Everything I took into my first classroom, I learned from her! She prepared me for teaching like no book or college course could. I kept in touch with Sharon over the years, and our paths crossed again when she became the interim principal at my children's school. Not only did she whip our school into shape, but put our school on the right track for the continued success we enjoy to this day. She again took on the role of mentor, sharing her wisdom as a parent, teacher and administrator while I was preparing to take on the role of PTO President.
Secret indulgence: Well, it's no secret, but I love dessert!
Favorite subject in school (and why): I loved any subject that allowed me to create a project. I think History was my favorite. I am still fascinated by events from our past. Growing up on the East Coast, with its rich history, had a lot to do with that!
Most rewarding/challenging stage of parenthood thus far (and why): My youngest, Donovan, was on oxygen from 5-weeks to 8-months-old. That was the most challenging. We went through months of time-consuming testing. It was not only super-scary as a mom, but I was not as available for my older children as I wanted to be. That broke my heart. Hugs, kisses and cuddles from my babies are the most rewarding—there is nothing better in the world than that.
Minivan or SUV: Minivan. I was never one of those moms who swore they wouldn't drive one—I love mine!
Favorite family tradition: I think it would be something to do with dinner; many of our traditions are centered around food! Carney burgers, Lasagna for Christmas, eating together every night!
Favorite weeknight family dinner: Is it bad that I love anything that is prepared for me—especially pizza, Chinese food, Subway, etc? Haha! I do enjoy homemade mac & cheese and my Mom's meatloaf!

SPANISH for Advanced Beginners
Event Details
Idlewild's language courses are both practical and fun, and have been recommended by New York Magazine and Daily Candy.
The classes are taught in our beautiful bookstore, not a stuffy classroom, and are limited to 14 students each.
Our Spanish for Advanced Beginners classes are taught by Juan Vallejo, a native of Colombia. Juan has several years' experience teaching in New York, including privately and at Berlitz, and uses a dynamic, participatory method that gets students talking from the very first class.
Is this class for you?
This course is for people who have either completed our Spanish for Beginners course or already have a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish (including formation and use of the simple present tense and other basic grammar). Our Advanced Beginner class focuses on more advanced grammar and building conversation skills, and includes presentation and practice of the following situations and grammar topics:
- using reflexive verbs and reflexive object pronouns to talk about daily activities
- conjugating irregular verbs in the present and past tenses
- traveling by bus or train (making reservations, buying tickets, asking about arrival and departure times, etc)
- double object pronouns and relative pronouns
- making requests and polite commands
- affirmative and negative expressions
- review and further study of the past tense
- renting a car or an apartment
- at the doctor, dentist, or pharmacy
- imperative and simple future tenses
- ordinal numbers
- shopping
Each of the ten lessons includes teacher presentation and student participation, including pair or group work. Each student will also be expected to give a two-minute presentation in Spanish, on a topic of their choosing, toward the end of the ten-week course.
About our classes
- This course is 10 weeks long and will meet for 75 minutes per weekly session.
- Class size is limited to 14 people.
- The beginner, advanced beginner and intermediate courses follow a text (not included in the course price but available to students for the discounted price of $18.00 including tax).
- There are no make-up classes. On the first day of class, each student will receive a syllabus that lists the weekly assignments so you can keep up with your studies if you have to miss a class.

James Anderson believes England will have to be patient as never before if they are to maintain their world number one Test ranking against a South African side who are masters of playing under pressure.
South Africa will replace England at the top of the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings if they emerge victorious in a three-Test series that gets underway at The Oval here on Thursday.
Both sides boast of arguably the world's two best pace attacks, with Anderson leading an England line-up that includes the likes of Stuart Broad.
South Africa are set to give the new ball to Dale Steyn, officially the world's leading Test bowler and a genuine quick whose record stands in comparison with some of the game's all-time greats.
Steyn is set to be supported by paceman Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander, who in just seven Test has already taken a staggering 51 wickets while a further seam bowling option is provided by veteran all-rounder Jacques Kallis.
Meanwhile the Proteas' batting order boasts of four players in the world's top 10 and England spearhead Anderson told Sky Sports: "It's going to be a huge challenge.
"The last couple of times South Africa have been over here they've played really well and beaten us. Both attacks have shown in the last 18 months that they are strong units. I think it'll be a good battle."
"It's going to be really important that our bowling attack is in top form because their batting unit is really strong."
"I see they've got six key wickets, they've got such a strong batting line-up that every wicket's crucial. They've got some great players in there and we're going to have to be on the top of our game."
"We're looking forward to it, we like testing ourselves against the best in the world and there's four of their guys in the top 10, so it should be a good challenge."
"South Africa probably soak up pressure better than anybody else in the world, so we might have to be more patient than we have in recent series and that's going to be our biggest test."
The Proteas were the last visiting side to win a Test series in England, back in 2008, and Anderson added: "A lot of the guys played in that series, we're well aware of it."
"They played really well last time they were over here and they're going to be strong in our conditions with both the bat and the ball."
"But confidence is high, we're really excited to be playing such a strong team."
"It's going to be a really tough three-match series for us, we're going to have to be on top form to have chance of winning."
Several of England's leading batsmen have been in good form recently, including South Africa born Kevin Pietersen, always a prize wicket for the Proteas especially.
Pietersen scored 80 and 78 in his last two Tests against the West Indies and an unbeaten 234 for Surrey against county champions Lancashire, having opted out of limited overs internationals.
Anderson refused to be drawn on talk Pietersen could reverse his decision but said: "Something we're excited about is the form he's shown this summer."
"He's carried it on from the IPL (Indian Premier League) and hopefully he can carry it on to end of this series."
James Anderson ready for stern South Africa test

Thanks for sharing this. I just bought the book on my kindle, after seeing your post. Hope its a good read. I am currently 60% through "Once a Runner" by John L Parker. Its quite engrossing.

I haven't read it...but I'm a Kindle deal of the day addict. Thanks for sharing--it has added to the "pile" of books that were to inexpensive to say no to.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
Yeah, I'm trying to decide whether to fork out $.99 or to borrow it free - a Prime benefit.
Unfortunately when dh and I got our kindles way back at the beginning it was a PITA to have 2 kindles on one account. Now it is a PITA to merge accts and not paying for prime twice.
It should be mathematical, but it's not.
Thanks, just bought it.
99 cents... why not?
HTFU? Why not!

The deal is over, but Amazon told me that, as a Prime member, I can read it for free. I wonder if this only for a limited time.

Tom Ross: Planned obsolescence is a pet peeve of mine
November 17, 2012
Steamboat Springs — One of my pet peeves, ranking right up there with ear buds that conspire to tie themselves into knots in my pocket overnight, is planned obsolescence.
In this case, I'm talking about the magic device I carry with me everywhere that permits keyless entry into my locked SUV. The key fob is something I was taking completely for granted until recently, when it fell off my key chain. That's right, it still works, but now it's just another small item I have to carry in my pocket and risk misplacing.
It wasn't so long ago that I was driving an older model pickup that lacked not only a keyless entry fob but also push-button door locks from the driver's seat. It was a long reach across the bench seat of the truck to unlock the door for passengers, but somehow, I managed just fine.
My problem is that the little plastic ring that holds the fob on my key ring wore through. It would have been simple and cheap for the manufacturer to line the plastic with a little metal ring that would have made it virtually indestructible. But if the manufacturer had done that, it wouldn't have a chance to sell me a new one.
You might be thinking, "What's the big deal? You can still unlock the car, right?"
Yes, it's true; I haven't been locked out of my car. But I already have a problem with misplacing the myriad small items I carry around in my pockets as it is.

Now, the detached key fob in my pocket is in addition to my phone, my quiver of ballpoint pens, chewing gum, a dog-eared business card, guitar picks, occasionally a digital camera card reader and my sunscreen.
I've got three pairs of glasses, a reporter's notebook and I sometimes carry a lucky bottle cap or a small, polished agate. Oh yeah, I also have an old-fashioned billfold packed with essential items.
The first thing I'm sure to remove from my pocket and promptly misplace is that unsigned lottery ticket that almost was sure to be a big winner. That can make a guy a little crazy.
So, I'm sure you can understand that it was disconcerting to have my perfectly good keyless entry fob fall off my key chain last week.
The natural thing to do would have been to purchase a new one. I found out that a genuine replacement fob would cost me about $175, or I could acquire one at a local retailer for about $90. I also could track down an after-market replacement fob on the Internet for $75, or I could purchase a used one on Ebay for $55.
I'm sure the fobs are worth the price. It just doesn't seem like the simplest part in an otherwise miraculous device should be the one to fail.
So, I took the cheapskate route and exchanged car keys with my wife, who graciously proposed that she could keep my loose fob in her purse, where she never misplaces anything.
Have a fobulous Thanksgiving dinner, everyone, and travel safely.

Logitech G500 Review
Are you currently searching the market for a new mouse for your computer? Are you looking for the perfect mouse that is going to be able to give you an advantage over your opponents in your favorite FPS or RPG? Maybe you are just looking for a mouse that is going to be able to provide you with some good ergonomic support for your hand and won't give you any cramps. What ever you are looking for in a mouse, you may just want to check out the new mouse from Logitech, the G500! This mouse comes packed with some cool features as well as a nice looking color scheme that reminds me of the digital camouflage fatigues the Army uses. I am anxious to take a good look at this mouse and see exactly how it compares to a few of the others that are currently out on the market, so let's get started.
Closer Look:
Logitech sent me the G500 as an OEM device, which means that it was not packaged inside of the retail packaging nor does it come with any accessories, so I am unable to show you exactly what it is going to look like if you were to go out and buy one or how well protected the mouse is inside of the retail package, however, I am going to be able to show you exactly what the mouse itself looks like, which we all know is what we are after. Taking a look at the back of the mouse, you are going to see the Logitech logo printed inside of the very unique paint job on the top of the mouse. The left side of the mouse, where your pinky and ring fingers will be resting has an indented side to allow your fingers to easily rest on the mouse and give them support so they do not drag on the mouse pad. The front of the mouse is where you are going to start to see some of the cool features the G500 has packed on it. The first thing that I noticed was the large scroll wheel, this thing is plastic and has a rubber ring around it so your finger can get some traction for when you are going to be spinning it. The right hand side of the mouse is where a majority of the buttons on the mouse are located, I will be getting into more detail and explanation of these buttons a little bit later. The right hand side of the mouse also has a large indent in the side to allow your thumb to rest on a ledge while you are using the mouse, this is going to give your thumb support during a few long gaming sessions or when you are working at the computer and using the mouse constantly.
As I had promised earlier, we are going to get into some explanation of what the buttons on the mouse are used for and what they do, well the first ones that I am going to explain are sitting on the top right hand side of the mouse, this is where you are going to see the + and - signs, these are going to be able to control your DPI resolution settings on the fly while you are in a game or need to have the pointer move a little slower while you are zoomed in on an image and editing it. The ones on the side of the mouse next to your thumb while you are holding it are able to be programmed with the software packaged with the mouse, when it comes out of the box, the forward button on the left will move your web browser to the next page you had visited and the one on the right is going to take you to the previous page you were at. The top of the mouse right behind the scroll wheel is a toggle button, this is going to control the scroll wheel. This is going to allow the scroll wheel to freely spin or to have the normal ratcheting feeling to it and preventing it from freely spinning. This could be useful in games or while you are working on editing an image and need to quickly zoom in or out.
Even the underside of the mouse as a nice feature, there is a weight cartridge that you are able to install in the underside of the mouse to make it weigh more if it feels too light for you and does not give you the performance that you need. The laser that this mouse uses to track the movements is claimed to be able to work on just about any surface you can think of, yes this does include a glass desktop that you may have. The Logitech G500 communicates with the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, this cable is not your normal plastic cable, as it does have a cloth outer casing around it to keep everything looking nice and unique.
Now that we know exactly what the mouse looks like, it's time to take a look at the software that comes packaged with the retail version of the mouse and then we can get into some testing of the mouse to see how it stacks up against some of the competition.

I was so excited to open my mail the other day and find my carseat cover that I (Dana) have been waiting on for the new addition coming end of July! Its beautiful and I LOVE IT!
GaGa Baby Wear is where I got the cover from. I just happened to be looking at patterns to make my own car seat cover and came across this really cute PINK cover for a little girl that happens to be in my belly and fell in love!
The wonderful lady that made the car seat cover does much much more then just a car seat cover. She does stroller covers, diaper bags and accessories, and different gifts. Perfect for baby shower gifts. She does girls, boys and unisex covers! I have a peg perego car seat and she custom made this one to fit the seat for me. When I came across all of her items I was impressed not only with the cuteness of them but the price. She is very reasonable for the VERY detailed work she does!
I am in love with the cover and can not wait until my little one arrives so she can use it. Made of cotton and minky dot. So soft and so comfy and fit my seat exactly perfect! Go and check her out. She is doing a special right now if you order $300 or more in product you get a 10% discount!

CHICAGO — A judge is scheduled to rule on several pretrial motions in the tax-evasion case of an influential Cook County commissioner.
William Beavers' trial begins Monday in U.S. District court in Chicago. The 77-year-old Democrat is accused of diverting campaign funds for personal use without reporting it.
Among the motions Judge James Zagel is expected to rule on Friday is one from the government. It seeks to bar the defense from arguing before jurors that Beavers eventually did pay back all the money at issue. He apparently acted only after realizing he was under investigation.
Zagel said at a Thursday hearing that he won't permit defense attorneys to tell jurors that Beavers refused to cooperate with investigators shortly before his indictment. Zagel says that's irrelevant to his alleged crimes.

PHI 101-Introduction to Philosophy (3)
This course provides the student with a systematic introduction to the discipline of philosophy. It begins by examining some fundamental concepts and problems in the areas of metaphysics and epistemology, and then proceeds to consider other areas of philosophical inquiry including: social and political philosophy, ethics, philosophy of religion, philosophy of history, and aesthetics.
PHI 202-Logic (3)
This course begins with the fundamental concepts of logic, including truth, validity, induction, and deduction. The course progresses through the inferences of everyday language and problem-solving, and into formal deduction, including symbolic logic and quantification theory.

Christian religions as compared and contrasted with the Christian world view.

We then examine some of the great middle dialogues, including the Parmenides and sections of the Republic. We conclude with the late dialogues such as the Sophist, Statesman, and Philebus.
PHI 322-Aristotle and the Medievals (3)
The first half of this course focuses on Aristotle, examining the Aristotelian system from the perspective of his metaphysics, logic, physics, and concept of the soul. In the second half of the course, attention is turned to the medievals, considering as the central theme the way they tried to Christianize the Aristotelian system.
PHI 323-The Empiricists: Locke, Berkeley, and Hume (3)
This course examines the three great British empiricists of the modern era and focuses on their respective treatment of questions concerning innate ideas, perception, universals, and the scope of human knowledge.

This course examines a variety of philosophers, both classic and contemporary, on the topic of love. The readings address questions concerning love's relationship to reason, the emotions, romance, and duty.

PHI 348-Philosophical Hermeneutics (3)
The historicism of the 19th century, along with the linguistic turn and cultural relativism of the 20th century has brought hermeneutics to the center stage of 21st century thought. We can no longer take interpretation for granted and must now face the philosophical questions which are at the base of the meaning that we attribute to texts or the world. The course begins with traditional notions of hermeneutics and then examines the factors which have brought hermeneutics to the center stage and the ways that Schleiermacher, Heidegger, Gadamer, and Derrida have attempted to deal with contemporary hermeneutic problems.

As expected. The U A release:
University of Arkansas Department of Athletics Statements
The following statements are from University of Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long and head football coach John L. Smith:
Statement from University of Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long:
"With our 2012 football season concluded, I met earlier today with Coach John L. Smith to inform him we would be making a change in leadership within our football program. I have great respect for Coach Smith and I thank him for the sincere commitment he has shown our program. He made a difficult decision in uncertain times to return from his alma mater to guide the young men in our football program, and I will always be grateful for his efforts.
I would also like to express my gratitude to our assistant football coaching staff, and our support staff. They have shown remarkable professionalism and a true commitment to the student-athletes in our program. They demonstrated great character in maintaining their commitment to our program.
Last April, when I appointed Coach Smith for the 2012 season, I indicated I thought this would provide us the opportunity to take the time necessary to identify the right coach for the future and to do so in a time that would allow us to attract quality candidates. Our new coach will be an individual who shares the passion for success our fans do and who is willing to work relentlessly to achieve our goals. It will be someone who embraces the expectations of winning a national championship and succeeding in the classroom with discipline, honesty and integrity. The leader of our student-athletes will continuously stress academic accountability and the value of earning a degree from the University of Arkansas. Our new coach will embrace what this program means not just to the university, but to the entire state of Arkansas and will share the vision for the future success of Razorback Football."
Statement from University of Arkansas football head coach John L. Smith:
"I am very grateful to Chancellor (David) Gearhart and Jeff Long for the opportunity they gave me to return to the University of Arkansas and coach this football team. I have enjoyed guiding this group and I am extremely proud of how everyone in our program stuck together and showed tremendous character by competing throughout the season. Everyone on our staff has my appreciation as they all believed in our goals and stayed committed to the development of these young men. I would like to thank the Razorback fans for demonstrating their support for these student-athletes and this coaching staff during a challenging time. I enjoyed every day of this experience and this profession has been and will continue to be rewarding to me. During my time here, it has been incredible to be a part of helping this program grow and I wish everyone involved nothing but success in the future."
Smith was hired to a 10-month contract last April and his employment agreement runs through Feb. 23, 2013. Smith will remain in the department as a consultant through the completion of his 10-month contract. Smith will be reassigned to assist with the transition to the new coaching staff once a new head coach is named. All assistant coaches have the option to remain a part of the football staff pending the hiring of a new head coach.

When designers Harald Gottschling, Daniel Haffmans, Philipp Haffmans, and Moritz Krueger debuted Mykita's first designer glasses collection in 2004, there were some people in the industry who thought it couldn't get any better than their Collection No. 1 Sun. We're happy to say we knew they were wrong! When the Mykita No.2 Sun Collection premiered a few years later, we had a lot of fun saying I told you so when the brand came out with beautiful acetate sunglasses that featured a whole new hinge concept.
The Mykita No.2 Sun Collection is just a lot of fun, with its six bold styles and its range of absolutely incredible colors. These are designer sunglasses that don't bow down to trends – Mykita really nailed it with its second collection of classical sunglasses that will still be hot years or even decades from now. Want to see two of our favorite styles from the Mykita No.2 Sun Collection?
Mykita's Marc is sure to get you noticed with its bold celeb styling and awesome sun protection.
And at the other end of the spectrum, you have Mykita's Emanuelle, oversized and elegant sunglasses with a totally timeless look.
All of the sunglasses in the Mykita No.2 Sun Collection come with either gradient, solid, or polarized lenses in various colors – a feature we think makes these shades even cooler. But that's just our opinion. How do you feel about colored lenses in sunglasses? Is it a lasting trend or one destined to get stale?

Capps, Spalding cash in at Florida Professional Golf Tour event.
Ty Capps from Palm Coast and Josh Spalding from Bunnell cashed in the final Florida Professional Golf Tour event before Christmas, held at Pelican Bay Country Club.
