To reach prospective employees, companies are using social media websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and various career-orientated sites like Monster, Indeed and Career Builder. It makes sense that these same companies would also use these websites to review candidates, as well. But this practice has come under great scrutiny in the past year and raised questions of applicants' online privacy.
It is important that job seekers monitor postings made by themselves and others on their personal social media pages, Twitter accounts or even personal blog pages, removing any photos, comments or shared opinions that could negatively affect the perception of the applicant by the hiring company. Human resource departments, staffing agencies and even school administrators have overriding privileges that allow them to bypass privacy settings for the purpose of ensuring employees emulate the morals, values or behaviors that complement the company's brand, messaging and image. This means that job seekers need to thoroughly monitor their social media sites, rather than simply turning the settings to "private."
The scrutiny isn't just for job seekers. Companies using social media sites also have to be careful about the potential for discriminating against potential employee candidates.
Some hiring organizations bring in professionals with a Master's degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology to help with the hiring process. Industrial organizational psychology applies research and scientific studies to assess employee thoughts, motivations and attitudes to predict workplace performance in the business context. These professionals are trained in legal and professional ethics for employee selection for both sides of the hiring process.
The Chicago School of Professional Psychology offers an online-blended Master's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology designed to train professionals in human motivation and organizational behavior as well as personnel selection, performance appraisal, training, leadership, and motivation. As a blended degree, students can select from a choice of electives to tailor their studies based on their own interests and career goals. Taught by experienced business and psychology professionals, this master's degree is applicable to any organization or industry.
Students interested in pursuing a career where they can learn the "human side" of corporations and organizations, develop consulting skills and work to build more effective corporations through organizational development should consider the online-blended master's program at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

Preston 3-0 Chesterfield (4-0 agg): Jermaine Beckford scores from 50 yards in play-off semi-final
Last Updated: 10/05/15 4:08pm
Jermaine Beckford scored a double - one from 50 yards - as Preston booked their place in the League One play-off final with a 3-0 victory to win the tie 4-0 on aggregate.
Beckford and Joe Garner had already put the tie beyond the visitors with strikes either side of half-time before Beckford grabbed his second in the dying stages with an audacious effort from 50 yards.
It was tough on brave Chesterfield, who had a golden chance to go 1-0 up 140 seconds before the Beckford opener but Sam Clucas missed when through one-on-one.
Preston will take on either Swindon or Sheffield United in the final. The pair meet on Monday night with Swindon leading 2-1 from the first-leg.
Friday's meeting between these teams was heated affair and that aggressive tempo continued with Garner and Ian Evatt involved in a couple of feisty exchanges early on.
Garner was booked for a connecting with a swinging arm on the defender before Evatt got slight revenge minutes later by going through the back of the striker as they challenged for an aerial duel.
Garner would eventually get the better of that battle for the opening goal but Chesterfield really should have taken the lead on 35 minutes.
Gary Roberts worked the ball through to Clucas who was only 10 yards out when his effort deflected off on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone's foot and over the crossbar.
Beckford showed Clucas how it should be done just two minutes later.
Garner did brilliantly to rise and win a header against Evatt which found Beckford in the box with his back to goal. He still had a lot to do but finished with impeccable ability, hooking the ball over his shoulder and into the net.
Chesterfield defender Sam Hird had an effort cleared off the line just before the break by Paul Gallagher as the visitors tried to stage a rally.
However, Preston always looked a threat on the break and won a penalty via that method of attack on 60 minutes.
Daniel Johnson raced clear in behind the Chesterfield defence and Joe Murphy came rushing out to deal with the danger in the corner of the penalty. He was slightly late and slid in on Johnson, who had nicked the ball away from the goalkeeper and the referee pointed to the spot.
Garner stepped up and with one swing of his right foot hammered the ball into the top corner, ending the tie as a contest.
Jay O'Shea fired against a post on 75 minutes but the last word would be for Beckford, who scored an outrageous effort.
He broke free on the halfway line and spotted Murphy off his line. From just under 50 yards out the former Leeds man, despite slightly slipping, pinged an incredible effort, into the top corner to send the home fans wild. A fitting goal to send a team to Wembley.
Watch the second League One play-off semi-final second leg between Sheffield United and Swindon Town on Monday night on Sky Sports 2 HD from 7.30pm, and the League One play-off final live from Wembley at 5.30pm on Sunday 24 May.

NASCAR Loses A Giant
Here is the official info from NASCAR on the passing of Jim Hunter:
NASCAR Vice President of Corporate Communications Jim Hunter, whose career in motorsports spanned portions of six decades as both a journalist and public relations professional, died last night in Daytona Beach, Fla. following a 12-month battle with cancer. He was 71. "Jim Hunter was one of NASCAR's giants," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. "For more than 40 years Jim was part of NASCAR and its history. He loved the sport, but loved the people even more. It seems as if everyone in the sport called him a friend. Jim will forever be missed by the NASCAR community. Our sympathies go out to his entire family." Added NASCAR President Mike Helton: "Jim was a uniquely talented man that cannot be replaced. He was a great friend and mentor to so many in the sport. His influence will remain with and be carried on by so many of the people he touched. This is a sad day for Jim's family and his extended, NASCAR family." As a young man growing up in his native South Carolina, Hunter was a football and baseball player at the University of South Carolina. Those years preceded a future of being immersed in the sports world, primarily motorsports. Hunter learned motorsports from "both sides" by working as a newspaper reporter/editor and a public relations representative. As a member of the media, Hunter was sports editor of the Columbia Record newspaper; he had an award-winning stint at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; he was a columnist for Stock Car Racing magazine; and he authored a number of books, including a widely-read biography on NASCAR great David Pearson, entitled "21 Forever". On the public relations side, Hunter broke into that business in the 1960s, with Dodge's motorsports operation. He handled public relations for a number of top IndyCar drivers before going on to become the public relations director at his beloved Darlington Raceway and Talladega Superspeedway. In 1983, Hunter was named to his first executive position in his first NASCAR stint, becoming NASCAR's vice president of administration. In 1993 he was named president of Darlington Raceway and corporate vice president of the International Speedway Corporation. He remained at Darlington until 2001 when he accepted an offer from then-NASCAR Chairman and CEO Bill France Jr. to return to Daytona Beach to lead an expanded public relations effort aimed at responding to the needs of burgeoning media coverage. Hunter won numerous awards during his career, including: the Hugh Deery Memorial Award in 1988; South Carolina Ambassador for Economic Development in 1994; South Carolina Tourism Ambassador of the Year in 1997; the National Motorsports Press Association's Joe Littlejohn Award in 2005; and the Buddy Shuman Award in 2006. Hunter is survived by his wife of 48 years, Ann Hunter; his children, Scott Hunter and Amy McKernan and his grandchildren Dakota Hunter, and Hunter and Luke McKernan. In lieu of flowers the family asked that donations be made to The NASCAR Foundation or Hospice of Volusia/Flagler County. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

After losing Jeff Byrd from Bristol Motor Speedway a couple of weekends ago, the NASCAR fans have lost another person important to us all. Jim Hunter was a very good person, a big race fan, and a friend to all of NASCAR. He will definitely be missed.

I met Jim in 1996 as part of NASCAR Day in college (honored Humpy Wheeler, Jim Duncan, and Jim Hunter -- all football teammates) during the Arkansas-South Carolina game. Humpy was a lineman, and Hunter was a running back. A few years ago, they gave replica jerseys to Wheeler (#55) and Hunter (#22).
Great all-around guy. Listening to today's Tennessee-South Carolina game on the radio, Todd Ellis (himself a former Gamecock quarterback) noted the letters Jim won in football and baseball. He also noted Mr. Hunter's daughter married a linebacker on the teams that he played. As a South Carolina graduate, I am saddened by this loss.
Forever to thee, Mr. Hunter! #22
On my Facebook page today I've posted the photo that I took of Mr. Hunter as a tribute to this classy gentleman.

text: Thursday, April 21, 2011 CMS Makes Official Statement on MPPR 'Fixes' The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued an official statement regarding the problems associated with payment under the multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) policy. As reported February 18 in News Now, CMS made system changes on February 7 to address errors in payment amounts under the multiple procedure payment reduction policy (MPPR) that affected providers who submitted claims using UB-04 claim forms or the electronic version (837 institutional claims from rehabilitation agencies, outpatient hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (part B) etc). Specifically, providers who billed multiple dates of service on the same claim form for a patient were receiving full payment for only 1 unit of service out of all of the dates. Payment for all other units of service on the claim form was reduced by the 25% MPPR reduction amount. In its recent statement, CMS says that it also has learned that the Fiscal Intermediary Shared System was using a rate file which contains rates that reflect a 20% reduction rather than the 25% reduction that is appropriate for institutional claims. As a result of this error, all outpatient therapy services billed by providers who use UB-04 claim forms or 837I with dates of service on or after January 1 have been paid incorrect amounts for codes subject to the MPPR policy. Medicare contractors will install a corrected rate file in early May. CMS has instructed Medicare contractors to adjust claims that were paid incorrectly no later than June 30.

Dell's Weak Q1 Earnings Throw Fuel on Buyout Fire
May 17, 2013 10:31 AM PT
Dell's quarterly earnings fell short of Wall Street expectations this week, leading to more questions about whether or not shareholders will accept Michael Dell's buyout offer and regroup as a private company.
The PC maker reported a net income of US$130 million, or 7 cents per share, during its most recent quarter. If not for certain items, Dell said it would have brought in $372 million, or 21 cents per share, for the past quarter, a 51 percent slide from the same time a year earlier. At $14.1 billion, revenue was down two percent from the same time last year.
Dell wasn't helped by the slumping PC market, especially as Windows 8 adoption continues to be more lackluster than many traditional OEMs had hoped. Its end user computing segment, which includes PC sales, fell 9 percent during the quarter.
Growth in its enterprise solutions group -- the division that Dell hopes can carry it into a new era in the tech industry -- helped offset some of those losses with a 10 percent increase over last year. The group earned $3.1 billion in revenue. Performance was somewhat mixed, however; storage revenue fell 10 percent, but the company's server and networking revenue saw a 16 percent jump
Dell did not respond to our request for further details.
Public vs. Private
Dell's earnings report comes during a period of transformation for the company as it attempts to respond to a declining PC market by bolstering its software, enterprise services and mobile offerings.
Earlier this year, company founder and CEO Michael Dell offered to take the company private for $24.4 billion, or $13.65 per share. The company's long-term transition, which may require several quarters of slow growth, Dell argued, would be better done away from investor scrutiny.
Two major stakeholders, Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, have publicly opposed Dell's offer. They argue the company needs fresh leadership and a higher buyout offer if it wants to take on market giants like HP and IBM.
Rather than bicker, the two sides might be better off working together to better execute a strategy that will allow Dell to compete in a market that is no longer driven by PCs, said Trip Chowdhry, senior analyst for Global Equities Research.
"Since Michael Dell came back on, they haven't done anything significant to respond to the completely transformed industry," he told the E-Commerce Times. "If the company has only gone downwards since you've been CEO, you're clearly not the best leader for the company."
However, the other side isn't offering much more of a compelling offer, said Chowdhry, pointing out that it hasn't provided many clues about how it can better compete.
"On the other extreme, you can't be too enthused by Carl Icahn, because it doesn't seem that side understands what is happening in the industry, either," he noted. "You can't just look at a spreadsheet and numbers and then understand what your competitors are doing with software, services and tablets, and then beat them in innovation."
Dell Limbo
Shareholders will vote on the buyout on August 2. During a conference call Thursday, Dell CFO Brian Gladden said that the company's strategy hadn't changed during its limbo period. That might be wishful thinking, said Richard Kugele, analyst at Needham & Company.
"This continues to be an awkward time for Dell, caught between the public and private worlds, unable to fully execute a strategy for either," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Until August, it will be tough to gauge the company's long-term growth. With mobile clearly the direction the market is heading, though, the company would be wise to use some of its $13.2 billion in cash to buy its way into that game, said Kugele.
"Dell's prospects may be best served by shareholders voting down the deal," he added, "and the company using its balance sheet strength for meaningful mobility acquisitions."

Can't keep food down with Migraines. Can't sleep?
Full Question:
I have migraine headaches and I can't keep no food down almost 2 days with the headaches normally activities I cant do more sleeping and I cant sleep well with headaches. what so I do. Jenny.
Full Answer:
Dear Jenny;
Eating and sleeping can be very difficult during migraine attacks. Some people do well with broths and soups rather than solid foods during Migraines. Care must be taken to be sure you get enough fluids so you don't become dehydrated. Meditation or relaxation may help with sleep. There are medications that could help with both nausea and sleep, so discuss those possibilities with your doctor who can talk with you about what's safe to take given your medical history and other medications you may be taking.
Good luck,
John Claude Krusz and Teri Robert

Armed with additional evidence, police plan to file amended charges today against a local man after charging his co-defendant Wednesday in a brutal stabbing murder in Price Township.
Police have charged a second teenager in the stabbing murder of a Stroudsburg man found Feb. 11 in a wooded area off Snow Hill Road.
Armed with additional evidence, police also plan to file an amended criminal complaint today against the Price Township teen charged last week in Goucher death.
Ian Seagraves, 17, whose mailing address is given as Cresco, was charged as an adult Wednesday and arraigned before Mountainhome Magisterial District Judge John Whitesell, while Shawn Freemore, 19, faces an amended criminal complaint.
Police say both fatally stabbed and then robbed Michael Goucher, 21. Goucher went missing Feb. 3, after saying he was going to meet a friend, and was found dead Feb. 11 in a wooded area near Stoney Run Road, where his car was found, in Price Township, said state police at Swiftwater.
State police said Freemore gave a different version of events from what he initially told them and that this new version implicates Seagraves.
According to the affidavit in the criminal complaint against Seagraves, police said they found a knife with a 6-inch blade and "the bottom wrapped in duct tape," near Goucher's body. Under a bridge near the murder scene was a roll of duct tape, similar to that found on the knife, with Seagraves' fingerprint on it, police said.
Found in Seagraves' home were wooden-handled knives similar to the one at the murder scene, police said. Initial reports said Goucher was stabbed 20 times, but an autopsy revealed he was stabbed "45 to 50 times," according to the affidavit.
Freemore initially gave police the following story:
He had met Goucher online and gotten together with him in person for a sexual encounter prior to the date of the murder, according to police. He said he and Goucher got together for another encounter in Goucher's car on the night of Feb. 3. He said he refused Goucher's advances and stabbed Goucher in the throat when Goucher followed him out of the car.
The initial criminal complaint against Freemore states he told police he acted alone in Goucher's murder.
But Freemore in a followup interview gave police a different version of events implicating Seagraves, a friend of his since childhood, said Assistant District Attorney Michael Mancuso. Because of those new details and other additional evidence pointing to Seagraves' involvement, the initial criminal complaint will be withdrawn and a new complaint against Freemore will be filed today, Mancuso said. The charges against Freemore — criminal homicide, aggravated assault, robbery and tampering with evidence — will stand.
In Freemore's new version of what happened, he and Seagraves planned to rob and kill Goucher. The plan was for Freemore to meet Goucher, under pretense of wanting a sexual encounter, and lure him to a spot where Seagraves would be hiding nearby.
"We have evidence indicating it was actually Seagraves who struck the first blow and stabbed the victim in the neck," Mancuso said.
Freemore and Seagraves have juvenile criminal records and, according to their MySpace pages, are Juggalos, members of what police call a violent criminal gang. Freemore's MySpace nickname is "Skippy" and Seagraves' is "Throat Stabba."
Defense attorney Paul Kramer Jr. said Seagraves wasn't involved in Goucher's murder and was nowhere near the scene at the time.
"The information in Mr. Freemore's arrest affidavit is very different from the information in Ian's arrest affidavit," Kramer said. "Mr. Freemore told police he acted alone, so why the charges against Ian?"
Kramer apparently was unaware of the amended charges to be filed against Freemore based on Freemore's new version of events, Mancuso said.
Seagraves' arrest affidavit gives the following account:
On Feb. 11, after finding Goucher dead, state police interviewed Seagraves, who was accompanied by his mother, at the Swiftwater barracks. Seagraves told police he had never talked to or communicated with Goucher, and that Freemore had met Goucher online.
He said he saw a car parked alongside the road, though the affidavit does not state when he said saw the car. He said he didn't know whose it was and assumed someone had gotten stuck. He said he did not recognize the car as belonging to Goucher, whom he had met only once, and that he walked past the car.
Twenty minutes into the interview, Seagraves said he "has problems remembering things because he is bipolar and has to take time to think about things." Police exited the room and gave him time to speak to his mother privately.
Five minutes later, police came back into the room and continued the interview.
Seagraves said he now recalled Goucher's car door being unlocked and that he actually got into the car, looked around inside and under the seat and saw nothing. He said he was in the car alone during that entire time.
When asked if he ever tried moving the car by pushing or driving it, he said, "No, I only sat in the car. I was not trying to get the car out. I don't want to get linked to this murder thing."
At that point, Seagraves' mother told police she and her son should talk to an attorney before going any further because she felt "this was going to get deeper than she thought."
The next day, police interviewed two people who said Seagraves had made statements to them about helping Freemore kill Goucher.
"If Ian did in fact make those statements, I don't know why he did," Kramer said. "I can only speculate. We're talking about a group of very young people here. Maybe, Ian just wanted some attention. We're talking about someone being led by the nose by someone two years older than he is."
As far as the knives in Seagraves' home and the fingerprint on the duct tape found near the murder scene, Kramer said that alone isn't enough evidence on which to charge Seagraves.
Kathleen Seagraves told reporters at her son's preliminary arraignment Wednesday that he has had psychological problems, but isn't capable of murder.
"He's just a 17-year-old boy," she said. "Up until now, the worst thing we've ever caught him doing is smoking cigarettes."
Between the night of Feb. 3, when police estimate Goucher was murdered, and Freemore's Feb. 11 arrest, Freemore and her son "seemed normal," Kathleen Seagraves said.
"They were just playing video games like always," she said.
Like Freemore, Ian Seagraves face charges of murder, aggravated assault, robbery, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and conspiracy.
Both are being held without bail in county jails outside of Monroe County, awaiting a future preliminary hearing in district court. Goucher's uncle, William Searfoss, works at Monroe County Correctional Facility.

The use of CTs, MRIs and other advanced medical imaging tests has soared over the last 15 years, according to new research that raises questions about whether the benefits of all these scans outweigh the potential risks from radiation exposure and costs to the healthcare system.
An examination of data from patients enrolled in six large health maintenance organizations found that doctors ordered CT scans at a rate of 149 tests per 1,000 patients in 2010, nearly triple the rate of 52 scans per 1,000 patients in 1996. MRI use nearly quadrupled during the period, jumping from 17 to 65 tests per 1,000 patients, according to results published in Wednesday's edition of the Journal of the American Medical Assn.
These and other tests have meant that more patients have absorbed more ionizing radiation as part of their medical care. The proportion of patients in the study who had any amount of radiation exposure — driven by the use of CTs — rose from 28.5% in 1996 to 36.2% in 2010; among them, their average exposure jumped from 4.8 millisieverts to 7.8 millisieverts. At the top end of the spectrum, the proportion of patients in the study who got radiation at high or very high levels rose from 1.8% to 3.9%.

To begin to understand the pain for families who lost loved ones on 9/11, even 10 years later, Rosaleen Tallon need only read from the medical examiner's report that accompanied the return of her brother's remains:
"Sean P. Tallon . . . torso and extremities. Head absent. Reddish arm hair, multiple spine fractures, pelvic fracture, legs fractured, knees dislocated, ankles fractured and dislocated, right hand missing. Received in separate bag: head and broken helmet. Eyes not present. Decomposing."
Inside the cooling, smoking bowels of Ground Zero where Tallon-a firefighter-died when the North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, workers found the following possessions, and returned them also to Tallon's family: a radio, bunker pants and jacket (Sean P. Tallon written on them), Pathmark discount card, extra-large blue shirt with "Tallon" embroidered on it and the certified first responder patch on the shoulder, blue boxer shorts, blue work shorts, boots, and two white socks.
As Tallon dryly read from the medical examiner's report at a briefing last February in Washington, D.C.'s Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, dark-suited businessmen and women in the packed reception room let tears stream down their faces. In front of me a woman's shoulders heaved and she slumped forward in her chair, burying her head in her hands while Tallon spoke. I asked her later if she too had lost a loved one on 9/11, but she shook her head no. A decade on, the gruesome details of what happened to ordinary men and women at Ground Zero bereaves not only families of victims but any who revisit the day's immeasurable trauma.
Sean Tallon was 26, a Marine reservist completing his first probationary year with the New York Fire Department. He was assigned to Ladder Company 10 (the "Ten House") directly across the street from the World Trade Center's twin towers. The only son of Irish immigrants, he was living at home pending completion of his training year. His sister, now 39, describes him as "fair-haired and handsome" and "also a real wise guy" who liked to play Irish jigs on the button accordion with his dad. Sean's father, who worked directly across the river from lower Manhattan, saw the planes strike the towers, saw the flames and knew his son would head directly into the buildings, saw the buildings collapse and knew his son was crushed within.
Yet nearly half of the victims who died in the twin towers were never identified. When the city's medical examiner's office in February 2005 announced that it was closing all investigations, having exhausted efforts to identify remains despite using advanced DNA techniques, it successfully had tagged only 1,630 of the dead. Of the 2,753 who died in the World Trade Center, only 293 bodies were found intact, and only 12 could be identified by sight.
At the same time, the medical examiner's office had recovered over 21,000 body parts at the site, including 200 linked to one person. Those who knew victims discovered that the grief of losing a loved one was compounded by the heartbreak of burying only body parts, or having no one to bury at all.
That in part explains why 9/11 family organizations remain active a decade later, and why Ground Zero remains the battleground it became the day Islamic jihadists flew planes into its towers. For many family members and friends, it is the only cemetery they have to visit. "Ground Zero is sacrosanct to New Yorkers and all Americans," said Tallon, who serves as family liaison for Advocates for 9/11 Fallen Heroes. "It's hallowed by the sacrifice of those innocent victims."
Given Ground Zero's multiple layers of ownership and control, its location at the center of the world's most lucrative financial district, and its reluctant role now as a national memorial, it's perhaps no wonder that much of the last decade has been consumed in battles over how to rebuild.
The controversy that erupted in 2010 over a proposed mosque just two blocks from the 16-acre site was only the latest fight. Before that, families of the victims for years tangled with city and state authorities over an appropriate remembrance at the site, given the pressure for owners to recoup money lost from office leases there.
Leaseholder Larry Silverstein pushed for redesigned twin towers as a way to get back the 10 million square feet of office space he lost on 9/11. Architects for the new space-three skyscrapers besides the grand 1,776-foot-tall Freedom Tower-repeatedly lobbied to expand the office spaces, impinging on the grounds for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
Against that tide, master planner Daniel Libeskind (see "The agony of victory," March 24, 2007) designed the memorial and museum at the World Trade Center site to reach seven stories underground, encompassing the full depth of the twin towers' destruction while exposing a slurry wall that resisted the force of the attacks (but likely would have flooded the city had it cracked). Many 9/11 families, according to Tallon, objected: "Initially there would be no names of the dead at street level. We were involved in getting the names out from underground and into the light."
Another battle arose over having the names of firefighters, police, and military personnel so designated. Firefighter names are listed together but without their rank. And most recently the museum has acquired remains from the office of the medical examiner to be used as "a programmable element," Tallon said, in its exhibits. "We want these elements out of the basement and given the separate dignity that they deserve," Tallon said.
Given those skirmishes, Tallon said she thought it was "a joke" when she first heard about plans to build a mosque and Islamic community center in the old Burlington Coat Factory. The building, a squat five-story Italianate structure built in the 1800s, took severe damage on 9/11 when plane parts-including landing gears and parts of a fuselage-crashed through the roof and down through two empty floors. Most Manhattanites thought the building had emptied after that, but for months starting in 2009, hundreds of Muslims have been meeting for Friday prayer services there, listening to an imam read from the Quran.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the cleric at the center of the project along with developer Sharif El-Gamal, quietly had purchased the building in 2009. Together with a group of investors, they planned to tear down the current building and construct a 13-story Islamic cultural center and worship space. Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan, served on an advisory board for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. One of the investors, Nour Moussa, is a nephew of the former Secretary-General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, who is currently running for president in Egypt.
By the time Tallon and others learned of it, the Lower Manhattan Community Board already had given a go-ahead for the project. That was May 2010. Though protests over the site were growing, and there have been battles since to get the building designated a historic landmark and otherwise halt its transformation, there's little the city-or protesters-can do to stop developers who now own the site from using it as they wish.
Proponents of the project point out that there were Muslim prayer rooms inside the World Trade Center and that there are active nearby mosques predating the twin towers. Imam Rauf promised that the project will send "the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11."
But the symbolism of a high-rise Islamic center within sight of the rebuilt World Trade Center-"right on the precipice of slaughter at the hand of Islamic jihadists," as Tallon puts it-is more than many New Yorkers, or most Americans, will support.
On June 6 a crowd of 5,000 gathered near the proposed site to protest what was becoming popularly called "the Ground Zero Mosque." They included 9/11 family members as well as out-of-towners, former Muslims, community leaders and organizers Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, who each run popular anti-jihadist blogs as well as an organization called Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA).
By July 2010 a Quinnipiac University poll showed that 52 percent of New Yorkers opposed the Islamic Center, and a CNN poll conducted late in the year showed over 70 percent of Americans nationwide oppose the project.
Struggling to recapture public-relations momentum, the developers repeatedly have changed the wording for the project, which is valued at $100 million. Initially their website referred to it as a "mosque" but later they changed that to a "prayer space" able to accommodate between 1,000 and 2,000 Muslims each Friday. Rauf named the building Cordoba House, a reference to the Great Mosque at Cordoba in Spain built to commemorate Muslim conquest of Europe. In recent weeks local New York media reported that the name had been changed to PrayerSpace.
Gamal, who remains the lead developer, has dismissed Rauf, whose ties to Hamas supporters and comments about U.S. policy serving as "an accessory to the crime" of 9/11 stirred more controversy. Gamal likes to call the project by its address, Park51.
Tallon doesn't believe Gamal would succeed with building the Islamic center were it 2002, and that the project highlights America's failure to come fully to terms with what happened at Ground Zero. "This is not about bigotry," she says, adding that her Catholic brother would have saved Muslim or Jewish victims inside the North Tower: "But my mother cannot pretend that her son was not killed by Muslims."
New York City Council member Daniel J. Halloran is one of few local politicians to support Tallon and others by opposing the Islamic community center project. Halloran, who like Tallon grew up Irish Catholic, also lost a cousin in the towers, New York firefighter Vincent Halloran.
Halloran blamed "political correctness" for the repeated decisions to move the project forward despite the objections of key 9/11 groups and of most Americans. "New York City is a melting pot, and I am tremendously thankful for the diversity, ethnically and religiously," he told me, "but they are using that as a shield to protect inappropriate planning."
A Republican with strong ties to the Libertarian Party, Halloran says there is little government can rightfully do now to stop the Islamic community center, but New Yorkers should remain wary of ongoing threats: "There are mosques in this city that supported those terrorists. And in my district, two terrorists were arrested just last week. It is still a real and present danger to the United States." Halloran also said he worries that the project represents for Islamic groups "a form of triumphalism" near the site of al-Qaeda's successful attacks.
At Ground Zero itself, the space that for 10 years has gaped open, frozen in tragedy and controversy from its yawning pit, is beginning to look ready for human life again. In what once were the footprints of the North and South Towers, fountains are flowing as water fills the giant reflecting pools ("reflecting absence" they are called to suggest the void left by the collapsing structures and the human toll). Swamp oaks are in the ground lining a plaza where family members of victims will gather on Sept. 11, 2011. From there for the first time they will be able to see the names of their loved ones engraved into a dark-bronze parapet along the outer edges of the pools.
Rising at the north end of the site is One World Trade Center, or the Freedom Tower, going up at the rate of about a new floor a week. By the 10th anniversary it should be at or above 80 floors of its 104 stories, on its way to becoming the tallest building in the United States and the most expensive (at $1,000 per square foot) in the world. (Watch live steaming video of the tower under construction.)
On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, relatives for the first time will read the names of victims from crashes at the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa., in addition to those killed at the World Trade Center. Also a first, the names of the six victims of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing will be read-in all, 2,983 names. President Barack Obama will attend the ceremony, which also marks the opening of the National September 11th Memorial. The museum is due to be completed next year, but the memorial opens to the public on Sept. 12.
Vigilance about security is not over, and access to the ceremony will be limited to 9/11 families. Other ceremonies will be open to the public around the country, and in lower Manhattan New Yorkers plan a blocks-long hand-holding ceremony to begin on Sept. 10. Opponents of the Islamic center near Ground Zero, led by SIOA, have scheduled a protest at 2 p.m. on Sept. 11.
In addition to commemorating the 10th anniversary of the attacks, Americans will be remembering 9/11 for the first time since al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed. Among the documents recovered in his Pakistan hideout following the May 1 raid by U.S. Navy SEALs that ended with his death, bin Laden had a hit list whose top item was a plan to celebrate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by shooting down Air Force One with President Barack Obama aboard.
Do you worry about violence or renewed terrorism? I asked city councilman Dan Halloran. "I always worry that people will do the wrong thing, that people don't think before they act. So, yes, it's a worry. But walking up to the 10th anniversary, no one wants to talk about it."
Rosaleen Tallon and her family will commemorate 9/11 as they always do, by attending the ceremony at Ground Zero and then the Ten Firehouse where her brother worked. Her father died in 2007, but Tallon, who married just before 9/11, has three children, including a son named after her brother and one named after her father.
Despite her activism, Tallon says she won't focus on the waterfalls and the trees or the names inscribed at the memorial, things she says don't capture the destruction her family remembers. "The important thing is being where Sean's body and soul separated. And there's a spot in the sky that I look to, about in the 30s of where the North Tower stood. That has always been my imagined memorial site for him." And beyond the 10th anniversary, she said, "I will always feel it's my obligation to do anything to protect my brother's memory." That's not up to the politicians and developers, she believes: "The people have to protect the history of what happened here."

It's inevitable that every winter, Christians battle with other religious and non-religious groups over what should be said during the holiday season. After observing this phenomenon for many years, I've come to a simple conclusion: It is not a war on Christmas; it is a war on words.
Don't get me wrong. I don't mind if someone tells me "Merry Christmas," "Happy Hanukkah," or even "Happy Kwanzaa." What I do mind is if I give a simple "Happy Holidays," and someone rudely replies, "It's 'Merry Christmas."
I don't see why Christians have to get so uppity over "Happy Holidays" since the phrase encompasses all religious winter holidays, not just Christmas.
It seems most (not all) Christians believe that since Christianity has been a major religion for a long time, their religious practices should take precedence over others. That isn't the case anymore since other groups have been able to come out and have their voices heard.
Until Christians can accept the fact that people of other faiths don't follow Christian practices and/or don't want to feel ashamed because they celebrate a different holiday, this childish fight will continue.
To quote Bob Dylan, "The times they are a-changin'."
I find it funny since Christmas actually comes from pagan traditions, celebrating the winter solstice. The Christian cross and the Christmas tree are just some of the items taken from paganism.
Concerning Harold Hunt's letter on Dec. 1: No, America was not "born because of Christianity." Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by President John Adams and ratified in 1797, clearly states that "the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." Also, cities can't have nativity scenes on courthouse lawns or town squares because it violates the establishment clause of the Constitution.

Skip to comments.Jake Tapper to jump from ABC to CNN
Posted on 12/20/2012 11:53:36 PM PST by ConservativeMan55
ABC Newss senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper becomes the first major on-air personality announced to make the switch to the newly Jeff Zuckered CNN.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Keep an eye on him at CNN. He's been doing some pretty great work at ABC.
Well I don't even know who he is but I'm sure his mother loves him, and I hope he has a Merry Christmas.
Wasn't CNN bought out by Dell comics?
He has been spanked for upsetting the almighty.
This seems like a good move for CNN..Jake Tapper may be a real journalist.
Is this like being sent to a reeducation camp?
..."With the MSM, random acts of journalism get you tradedand then fired if you keep it up.
He has been spanked for upsetting the almighty."...
All true..I think it is possible that Jake Tapper has seen up close what is happening in government..He might have "seen the lion and heard the owl" concerning the state of our nation..Those seeking truth change their opinions once new information makes previous opinions obsolete.
I am a person who used to be liberal, until the circumstances of my life brought me into contact with the actual liberals I was supporting..I saw them for who they were and I began to research history as hard as I could to independently decide who I wanted in charge of America's future..What I feared has happened..Base human nature of wanting something for nothing has been exploited by liberals until it has ruined our country.
He has just been put in a box. Now he will NEVER ask another question in the White House. If Faux was a real news outlet maybe he coulod go there...
From the sewer of ABC to the cesspool of CNN. Not a good move but I guess better than that garbage dump MSNBC.
He questioned the dictator. Can't do that when you work for husseins official propaganda network.
No conflict of interest in this deal, right?
"""Susan Rice married Canadian-born ABC News producer Ian Officer Cameron (born in Victoria, British Columbia) in 1992 while they both lived in Toronto, she as a management consultant for McKinsey, he a producer for the CBC. They met as students at Stanford. They reside in Washington, D.C. with their two children (a son and a daughter named Jake and Marris).
As one of the commentors said....Just a snake slithering under a new rock.
That is a great comment. Wonder if ABC was quietly pushing him out because he dared to question the One in that room full of obamabots. He is one of the more aggressive reporters in the room.
"Where have you been" regarding gun legislation was a little obnoxious the other day and easily gut under Obama's skin. Shows how weak Obama is. Can't take a real question. Obama's answer was pathetic.
Jumping from the frying pan into the boiling pot.
I thought the part of Obama's response to "Where have you been?" where he said "... I haven't been on vacation..." was laughable and telling. He has been on vacation, golf, partying, and campaigning since he got to the White House, because that's all this unqualified a$$ knows. He hasn't put in 1 full 8-hour day of work since he was elected.
I agree. Tapper is one of the few who doesn't seem to worship Odumbo. I wish him success.

Hello all,
I hope you're doing well. After the successful event last year it's a no brainer to arrange another community dinner when we're all together again in London this November. We had a fantastic turn-out for the meal last year, seating over 100 MySQLers in a venue whom were expecting only 60. So this year join the MySQL community again for a bite to eat and a beverage or two and discuss life, love and data.
The When
Monday, November 3rd 2014
The Where
Masala Zone, Covent Garden
The Why
We have a vibrant community surrounding the MySQL ecosystem. Whether you want to talk about the meaning of life with Colin Charles or find out how Facebook take their logical backups even quiz Shlomi Noach about where thinks up his latest and greatest MySQL tools; why not do it with a curry and a beer?!
Other important need to knows
This is a `pay your own way` dinner. I'm sure you can appreciate that the MySQL Community is not a company or entity with an ample bank balance. However if I win the lottery between now and then I promise I'll pick up the tab for everyone ;) .
So please, please bring cash to simplify paying the cheque at the end of the evening. Last year, we found that it was optimal to pay per table.
The Menu
Whilst the chefs are fantastic at the Masala Zone, they cannot perform miracles. With over 100 MySQL community members eating and drinking it's not possible to offer an a la cart menu. I will post the set menu options and we will run a poll on which one to select. IMO the food is 2nd to the company but we can't have a hungry community.
If you have an opinion on something surrounding this, your community event, please let it be known in the comments.
Please register you attendance on the eventbrite page so we can handle the numbers.
I am looking forward to seeing you all again.

Look out, menu choice is between spicy and spicier!ReplyDelete
I wonder if it could be interesting to organize a paid event for that and deal a package menu with the restaurant (Like the dinner during FOSDEM).ReplyDelete

General Description
The Sun card expresses a great joy of living, vitality, warmth, and confidence. It also stands for the illuminating powers of the conscious mind with which we achieve clarity and overcome problems, annoyances, and uncanny fears. It is additionally a symbol of youthful freshness and the feeling of being reborn. It represents the sunny side of life. On a deeper level, it challenges us to overcome the darkness in ourselves, expand our sunlike nature, and free our "darkened" brother or sister and bring them into the light.

Statcorner Glossary
FanGraphs Glossary
Courtesy of the links above:
BABIP - Batting Average on balls put into play. A pitcher's average on batted balls ending a plate appearance, excluding home runs. Based on the research of Voros McCracken and others, BABIP is mostly a function of a pitcher's defense and luck, rather than persistent skill. Thus, pitchers with abnormally high or low BABIPs are good bets to see their performances regress to the mean. A typical BABIP is about .290.
EqA - Equivalent Average. A measure of total offensive value per out, with corrections for league offensive level, home park, and team pitching. EQA considers batting as well as baserunning, but not the value of a position player's defense. The EqA adjusted for all-time also has a correction for league difficulty. The scale is deliberately set to approximate that of batting average. League average EqA is always equal to .260. EqA is derived from Raw EqA, which is (H + TB + 1.5*(BB + HBP + SB) + SH + SF) divided by (AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF + CS + SB). REqA is then normalized to account for league difficulty and scale to create EqA.
OBP - On-base percentage. (H + BB + HBP) divided by (AB + BB + HBP + SF). For pitchers, OBP is on base percentage allowed.
SLG% - Slugging percentage (hitters) or slugging percentage allowed (pitchers). Total bases divided by at-bats.
OPS - On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage
VORP - Value Over Replacement Player. The number of runs contributed beyond what a replacement-level player at the same position would contribute if given the same percentage of team plate appearances. VORP scores do not consider the quality of a player's defense.
BB/9 - Walks allowed per every 9 innings.
K/9 - Strikeouts per every 9 innings.
K/BB - Strikeout to Walk ratio
WHIP - Walks plus hits allowed per inning pitched.
wOBA - The statistic wOBA (weight on base average) is now available in the player pages, leaderboards, team pages, my team pages, and the projections. wOBA, created by Tom Tango, is a version of linear weights that has been weighted to fit an OBP scale. The weights have been properly adjusted by season and for the minor leagues by season and by league.
Linear Weights - This is kind of long winded, but go here for an explanation.
There's many more, we'll add as they come up.

After procrastinating finishing the hem for so long it's silly, my patchwork skirt is now done! :)
is hanging a skirt in a tree sillier than picnicing pillows? I think perhaps it is. and you know what? I like taking silly pictures :)
I bought the fabric from Joanns probably three years ago, it was a pre-made patchwork so making my skirt was actually very simple. The pattern was Flirting the Issue by AMH. Another yard and a half out of my stash! :)

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tech's bats came to life against Austin Peay on Saturday as the Golden Eagle softball team earned two victories in a doubleheader in Clarksville. TTU won a slugfest to start the day, 12-8, before taking a 5-2 victory in the nightcap.
Freshman Melody Christian finished the day 6-for-9 with four runs scored, while sophomore Whitney Cummings was 3-for-8 with a home run, four runs scored and five RBIs for the Golden Eagles who won their first two games of the OVC season.
Tech improves to 10-15 overall and 2-0 in the conference, while Austin Peay drops to 5-17 overall and 0-2 in the OVC.
Tech 12, Austin Peay 8
The Golden Eagles and Lady Govs played a wild game to start the day that featured 20 runs, 16 hits and eight errors combined between the two teams. Tech's final line included a season-high 12 runs on nine hits, while the team committed three errors on defense.
The 1st inning was an exciting one for TTU as the Golden Eagles put a nine spot on the scoreboard before the Lady Govs came to bat. Christian started the rally with a single to lead off the game before Lacie Coquerille laid down a sacrifice bunt to move her to second. Coquerille also reached base on the play after beating out the play at first base to put two on with no outs for TTU.
Cummings came to bat next and reached on an error by the APSU shortstop before Callie Schmidt delivered a bases-loaded single to plate Christian and give the Golden Eagles a 1-0 lead.
Tech took advantage of a second Austin Peay error as the second baseman mishandled a ball hit by Holly Thomas, allowing two runs to score.
Kaleigh Gates came to bat and did not need to lift the bat off her shoulder before TTU tacked on another run. The Golden Eagles had runners on first and second when a passed ball moved Jessica Steele – who had entered as a pinch runner for Schmidt – to third and Thomas to second. Shortly after, a wild pitch brought Steele home and moved Thomas up to third.
A third error by Austin Peay plated Thomas and allowed Gates to go all the way to third before she scored on a passed ball, putting Tech in front, 6-0.
Still with no outs in the top of the 1st inning, Stacey Butts walked and Brooke Basten was hit by a hit by a pitch to put two Golden Eagles back on base before Lindsey Umberger, the ninth Tech batter of the inning, singled to score Butts from second base.
The Lady Govs finally got their first out of the game on a strikeout by Christian, but Coquerille came to the plate next and singled to score Basten from second, stretching the Golden Eagle lead to 8-0. With Cummings at-bat for the second time inning, Tech would add another run on a wild pitch that allowed Umberger to score from third base.
Improbably, the Golden Eagles scored nine runs in the 1st inning on just four hits. Tech benefited from three APSU errors, two wild pitches and two passed balls in the frame.
The Lady Govs answered with three runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning to cut their deficit to six, 9-3, but Tech added two runs in the top of the 5th to build its lead back to eight, 11-3.
Christian again started the inning off with a single before Coquerille sacrificed her to second. Cummings delivered a one-out double to bring Christian home from second, and two batters later, Thomas roped a single that brought Cummings home.
The Lady Govs would score two in the bottom of the inning and three in the bottom of the 6th to avoid the eight-run rule and come within three, 11-8.
In the top of the 7th, Tech would score an insurance run as Cummings plated Christian, who started the inning with a single, giving Tech a 12-8 lead. That would prove to be the final score as Claudia Harke shut down the Lady Govs in their last at-bats to secure the victory.
Harke entered in the 6th inning after Thomas pitched 5.0 innings and struck out four while allowing three earned runs. Thomas improves her record to 6-7 this season in the circle.
Tech 5, Austin Peay 2
A three-run homer by Cummings turned a 2-1 Golden Eagle deficit into a 4-2 Tech lead in the 4th inning, and pitcher Maddie Schmissrauter kept the Lady Govs off of the scoreboard from there as the Golden Eagles picked up a three-run victory.
Schmidt hit a single down the left field line that scored Cummings from second base to start the scoring in the top of the 1st inning, but the Lady Govs responded in their half of the 2nd inning with two runs to grab a 2-1 lead.
That lead held until Cummings' home run in the 4th inning. Jordan Leff took a one-out walk, and Christian followed with a single to right field. Two batters later, Cummings drove one deep over the left-center field fence for her fifth dinger of the season, giving Tech a two-run lead.
The Golden Eagles manufactured a run in the 5th inning to put them ahead by three, 5-2, and Schmissrauter along with the TTU defense took care of the rest, ending the game two innings later on a double play.
Four Golden Eagles finished the game with two hits. Cummings went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBIs, Christian finished 2-for-4 with a run scored, Schmidt was 2-for-4 with an RBI and Gates went 2-for-3 with a double.
Schmissrauter pitched the complete game for TTU, finishing with five strikeouts, while allowing just two runs by the Lady Govs. The junior evens her record at 4-4 this season and now has a 1-0 mark in conference play.
The Golden Eagles return to action tomorrow when they play the third game of the three-game series versus Austin Peay. Game time in Clarksville is scheduled for noon on Sunday.

Now consider how much development time (YEARS!) went into the Expansion and how much went into that Steed (maybe 1 artist for a week?). And by all accounts, they've sold at least a couple hundred thousand of the things.
- $25 x 200,000 steeds = $5,000,000
OK. So let's say it took 3 artists an entire week. And we pay them each $100 an hour.
- 3 artists x $100 = $300 per hour
- $300 x 40 hour week = $12,000
Now I'm going to triple that amount just because I want to be conservative. I think 3 artists at $100 an hour is generous, but there might be some extra hidden costs. Heck, it probably cost another $12K just to list on the Blizzard store.
- $5,000,000 Revenue / $36,000 Investment = 138:1 ROI (Return on Investment)
It's a bit like printing your own money.
What next?
My example is a bit unfair in that 200,000 people wouldn't have bought that steed if Wrath of the Lich King had never been released.
Or put another way, Wrath was needed to keep people playing. And now that people ARE playing, they can start paying for premium content.
The cynic (which I am) would say that means that more development time will be spent on these luxury items and less on other content.
That's my take on the Steed. By itself, it's merely cosmetic. But I think the precedent it sets is that we'll see less content "for free" in patches and more "for fee" enhancements.
I think the danger for a company like Blizzard is when they start to look at these "for fee" enhancements as the primary revenue stream and not the actual content updates. Once that starts to happen, I think it may quickly turn into a situation where you pay for "keys" to access certain dungeons and other content.
Perhaps not an entirely bad idea on it's own, but it could make for an interesting trend where the most valuable people in your guild aren't the most skilled -- but the ones able to afford the premium content.


text: Prospective Plantings Report: Highlights of 9 Key Crops March 28, 2013 07:32 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email Corn: Record high corn acreage is expected in Arizona, Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, North Dakota, and Oregon. Conversely, most States in the Corn Belt, which experienced severe drought in 2012, expect slightly less planted acreage. Soybeans: Compared with last year, planted acreage intentions are down across all of the Great Plains, with the exception of North Dakota, as drought conditions have persisted in many of these areas. If realized, the planted area in New York, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania will be the largest on record. Winter wheat: The 2013 winter wheat planted area is estimated at 42.0 million acres, up slightly from the Winter Wheat Seedings report. Of the total acreage, about 28.9 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 9.67 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.39 million acres are White Winter. Cotton: Growers intend to plant 10.0 million acres in 2013, down 19% from last year. If realized, planted area in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma will all be record lows. Sorghum: Growers intend to plant 7.62 million acres of sorghum for all purposes in 2013, up 22% from last year. Kansas and Texas are the leading sorghum States and account for 77% of the expected United States acreage. Canola: Producers intend to plant 1.65 million acres in 2013, down 6% from 2012. If realized, planted area in the United States will be the second largest on record. Compared with last year, planted area is expected to increase in five of the seven major canola-producing states. Rice: Area planted to rice in 2013 is expected to total 2.61 million acres, down 3% from 2012. Higher prices for competing commodities contributed to the expected decline in rice acres compared with last year. Area planted to rice in Arkansas, the largest rice-producing State, is 5% below the previous year. In Mississippi, growers intend to plant 8% fewer acres to rice than in 2012. In Texas where drought conditions persist, a record low acreage is expected to be planted. Peanuts: Growers intend to plant 1.19 million acres in 2013, down 27% from the previous year. The expected decrease in planted area is largely driven by lower peanut prices and high supply. Barley: Producers intend to seed 3.63 million acres of barley for the 2013 crop year, down slightly from the previous year. If realized, this will be the fifth smallest seeded area on record. Record low acreage is expected in Michigan. See USDA's full 2013 Prospective Plantings report.

In a conference-opening basketball doubleheader at Chestnut Hill College last Tuesday night, the outcomes of the games were not surprising, but there were some interesting twists and turns on the way to the final horn.
Against the nationally-ranked women of visiting Holy Family University, the host Griffins actually led the Tigers at halftime and were still ahead with three minutes to go before they succumbed, 59-52. The Chestnut Hill men pulled out a 77-75 victory, but the Griffins had held a seemingly comfortable 16-point lead midway through the second period.
The result of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference debut was an overall record of 7-3 for the CHC men, and 0-6 for the ladies. Holy Family, which had opened its CACC season a few days earlier, saw its women leave Chestnut Hill at 2-0, 5-3, while the male Tigers owned a mark of 0-2, 3-4.
Coming off the CHC bench, junior guard Latoya Laing popped from the perimeter to lead all scorers in the women's game with 21 points. Holy Family had been ranked 18th nationally in NCAA Division II in the pre-season USA Today/ESPN poll, but at that time it was assumed that fourth-year starting point guard Lauren Peters was good to go following a knee injury in the CACC championship game last March. She has not played for the Tigers so far this season.
HFU is still a formidable squad, and took an early 7-3 lead against Chestnut Hill on Tuesday. Laing subbed in and picked up the Griffins, hitting a jumper that moved the hosts ahead, 10-9. With under eight minutes left in the opening frame, CHC pushed its lead to seven points at 19-12, then Holy Family closed to within four at the end of the half, 25-21.
The Tigers tied the game at 29-all six minutes into the second stanza, and for most of the remainder it was a close contest. With three minutes to go Laing stuck a three-pointer from the top of the key, reaching her total of 21 points and putting the Griffins up, 50-47.
All-Conference Holy Family forward Erin Mann, a junior who gave Mount St. Joseph Academy plenty of trouble back when she played for Villa Maria, scored off a rebound and nailed an accompanying free throw to tie the game for the final time at 50-all. A trey by the Tigers' Maggie Serratelli followed, then a drive by Molly Hanlon made it 55-50 with a minute-and-a-half remaining.
CHC freshman Lila Jones bagged a baseline jumper to make it a three-point game with 23 seconds to go, but the Griffins were out of time-outs and the Tigers were in the foul double-bonus. The visitors' Hanlon and Mann each made a pair of free throws to tack the final score on the board.
Laing's effort for CHC was backed up by Aiesha Smith, with 10 points and five rebounds, and by Ebony Washington, who scored four points and shared high-rebounder honors with HFU's Mann, with nine grabs.
Mann and point guard Anna Cruz each posted 11 points for the winners, who were led by Hanlon's 12 points.
Over the first five minutes of the men's game, five of the six field goals scored were launched from beyond the three-point arc. Two apiece belonged to CHC guards Mark DiRugeris and Luke Dickson, who paced the Griffins to a 12-6 lead. Later, a third trey by DiRugeris put the hosts up by 10 points and caused the Tigers to call a time-out with nine minutes left in the opening period.
Inside, freshman forward Alssene Saintilus had been working hard, scoring on a dunk, a little jumper from the lane, and three free throws. Later on he followed in a teammate's shot to make it 30-17 with six minutes remaining in the first half. Holy Family quickly carved up most of the CHC lead with 10 consecutive points, five of them on foul shots.
With about three minutes still remaining, the Tigers were in the foul double bonus, and although the Griffins still led at halftime, 43-37, 6'9" Chestnut Hill freshman Seamus Radke had four personal fouls, Saintilus had three, and Dickson and CHC seniors Dan Comas and Brandon Williams had two apiece.
In the second half, mounting foul trouble helped prevent the hosts from getting the defensive stops they needed to hold the double-digit leads they built up at various times. In the early minutes the Griffins enjoyed several 14-point advantages, and right at the 10-minute mark, Dickson stuck a jumper from the left end of the foul line for a 16-point gap at 64-48.
As in the late minutes of the first half, Holy Family countered with 10 consecutive points to get right back in it. During this charge by the Tigers, CHC's Comas, Saintilus, and Williams each acquired a fourth personal foul. The visitors were not immune from the refs' whistles, and with 3:22 left to play guard Angel Ayala fouled out with his Tigers trailing by just two points, 70-68.
CHC's Williams soon followed him to the sidelines, but Comas, who sat out for part of the period, remained eligible and hit two big buckets, twisting around a defender for a lay-up and later tipping in his own missed shot at the rim. That made it 74-69 going into the final minute.
Holy Family's Maurice Hargrove made one of two free throws on Comas' fifth foul with 0:44 in the clock, and Radke reentered for Chestnut Hill. Two made free throws by DiRugeris were answered with a score off a rebound by the Tigers' Eric Fleming, and the tally was 76-72 with 27 seconds remaining. When HFU guard Rashaad Sneed fouled out the Griffins netted nothing at the free throw line, then the visitors closed within a point when Khiry Hankins hoisted a trey from the keytop with a hair under 11 seconds to go.
With 9.8 showing, DiRugeris hit the second of two foul shots to put the 77-75 final on the board. Holy Family came down over the half court line and called time-out with five ticks remaining, then a shot by Hankins was blocked by Griffins sophomore Mike Perry and the ball went out over the right baseline with one second outstanding. The Tigers inbounded the ball on the near side to 6'9" center Rickie Crews, but the buzzer sounded just before he released a shot that banked through the rim.
The Tigers were led by two double-digit scorers, guard Alberto Munoz (25 points) and forward Richard Council (14), who each gathered five rebounds. DiRugeris gave an impressive all-round performance for Chestnut Hill, notching 20 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two steals, a Dickson also provided important backcourt production with 15 points, four assists, and three steals. Comas led the pack on the boards with 11 rebounds while scoring nine points, and Saintilus scored 18 points and pulled four boards.

What's an experiment without measurements?
The Data Stream and Your Mental Agenda
Today, I saw this wonderful blog post at the Vital Smarts Influencer blog about the power of measurement. I can't seem to find the permalink to the specific entry, so if you want to see it, you'll have to scroll down to the December 19 entry called The Data Stream and Your Mental Agenda. The big point is that "Your data stream determines your mental agenda" and if you aren't getting the right information daily, you may not be aware of important issues. One fact that really got my attention was "People who consistently track what they eat lose twice as much as people who don't track or who track inconsistently."
An Experiment in Measurement
For me, I know that one area that's suffering from a lack of measurement is my finances. A few years ago, when my mother was sick, my husband took over our finances. Now, I have no idea how much we have in our accounts. And I have no idea how much I spend. It's not a good situation. A year ago, as a New Years Resolution, I started writing down everything I spent. I only managed to keep it up for a couple of weeks. But I think it made a difference. Sometimes, I decided not to buy things because I didn't want to write them down.
Data as a Performance Support Solution
The data stream is also worth looking at with my clients as I help them design performance support solutions. I collect data to help design good solutions. But I've never thought of the data itself as part of the solution. I have an opportunity tomorrow to weave this into a design. I think I'll try it and see where it goes. Stay tuned.

I know that you have to pay for every download... There for i seems unnecessare to download files i alreaddy have for PU for CU... Is there some other way i can do so it doesn't cost you
you have a point Jessica
That's a good point... don't worry too much about this for now, since upgrade downloads are a very small percentage of the total number of downloads we are serving, but I will think about how to prevent this waste in the future... (probably we can offer a dialog box that will ask the user if they need to re-download the file, or if they are happy to just rename the file that they already have--so that they know it is cu).
I just rename the files to CU
@Liz: But how how do you pay the upgrade cost to change form PU to CU if you do not re-download the file? Currently the only way to pay the upgrade cost is to re-download the file...
If you close your browsers download window (not sure what to call it, the page that pops up that you then pick where you want the file to download to) you get charged the download credits and it shows that you downloaded it on items page, but you don't actually download anything. This happened to me by accident when I first joined and I was trying to download something, my husband asked me to look up something and I accidentally closed the wrong window.
Good point Dawn: it's true that by closing the download window when it comes up you can "pay" for the upgrade, but without needing to actually re-download the file (then you can just rename the file that you already have).
Jordan... I remember you saying at one time that if you'd already downloaded the pu version, that you would only be charged the difference between that & the cu version in d/l credits... Is that correct?
@Lizanne: that is correct, yes. If you have downloaded the PU version, the DC cost shown for the CU version is only be the difference in cost. (So downloading PU and then upgrading to CU takes the same number of DC as downloading CU from the beginning).
Oh, okay - I was wondering about that, too - thanks for explaining that about things I have not downloaded as pu before.
