"It can wait." A mantra for the 21st century.
You're in the middle of a conversation with a friend, and your phone rings. You stop mid-sentence and suddenly you're caught up in a phone call. You don't even think about whether or not to pick up the call. It just happens.
You're in the car and you hear the ping of a text message arriving. What do you do? Many people succumb to temptation and read the message and — worse — reply to it. (You can recognize those people; they're the ones in front of you, swerving out of their lane without even realizing it.) Even if you try to ignore the incoming message, you can feel its emotional pull, as if your phone is an emotional black hole, drawing your attention inexorably toward it.
These distractions are hard to resist. How can we reclaim our attention in this world of email alerts, text message alerts, phone calls, IM alerts, and Facebook notifications?
I've found one simple way of regaining control of my attention. It's a simple phrase: "It can wait."
This is a phrase I use both in my meditation practice and in my daily activities. When I feel the urge to look at my phone while I'm driving, even if it's just to remind myself of the name of the song that's playing, I say "It can wait." This simple phrase makes it easy for me to keep my attention where it belongs — on driving safely.
"It can wait" is a reminder of what's important. The text message, email, or phone call will still be there when I arrive at my destination. I can deal with it then. Right now what's important is getting to my destination safely. (In theory the song is still there, but in practice I'll forget to do the detective work necessary to figure out what the track was. Which just goes to show how important it was in the first place to have that information!)
In my meditation practice I sometimes find myself getting caught up in some train of thought. Sometimes they're compulsive. Right now I've just moved into a new office and we're making some changes at work, so I find myself planning how we're going to use the space, how we can set up better organizational systems etc. It's all creative stuff. But it's not what I want to be doing in my meditation practice! So I say, "It can wait." And again, I find it relatively easy to let go of the train of thought. Sometimes it'll come back a few times, but I keep saying "It can wait" and the planning part of my mind eventually gets the message.
"It can wait" becomes a powerful statement of affirmation in the importance of the present moment. I find myself planning? "It can wait." Right now I'm just going to be with my present moment experience. I'll find happiness by surrendering to the present moment, not by arranging the future in my mind.
So I offer this to you as a practice that I've found to be simply and effective. When you need to be focused on the present moment and an emotional black hole appears and tries to steal your attention, just say "It can wait" and embrace the present moment in mindful awareness.

So simple yet profoundly true! One for me to add to my practice. I work with young children, so often I'm tempted to only half listen to things that they urgently want to tell me because it's important for them. My mind meanwhile is firmly on things I should, be could, be need to be doing. Now I'll take a breath and say it can wait to myself and take the time to listen mindfully.
Comment from Bodhipaksa
Time: May 25, 2012, 9:58 am
Thanks, Jo. I think applying this to our relationship with children is very important. So often we get caught up in something like reading and article, and we create a battle between paying attention to the article and paying attention to the children. And, most times at least, the article can easily wait. Most times, for me, it wouldn't make any significant difference to my life is I didn't read it!
I also just realized that one of my jobs as a parent is to teach my children the self-control so that they too can do the same practice. It takes time and training for them to realize that they need to manage their impulses (for example when they want to talk to someone but that person's in the middle of a conversation). It's a case of helping them to have a sense of priorities that extends beyond immediate gratification, I think.

"In Memory of Lydia Sum" starts tomorrow
Hong Kong Film Archive (HKFA)'s retrospective "In Memory of Lydia Sum" to commemorate the comedienne's inspiring on-screen performances will run from tomorrow (March 7) until March 16 with 12 films, ranging from her teen years to her mature roles.
One of the leading actresses of the Cantonese classic "Teddy Girls", Nancy Sit Kar-yin will meet the audience during the opening screening at 7pm tomorrow at the Cinema of the HKFA.
The second screening at 9.15pm tomorrow will be "It's a Mad Mad Mad World" in which Sum plays a housewife who dreams of getting rich. In a video before screening of the film, Director Clifton Ko will share with the audience his recollection on Sum's performance. The film will also be shown on March 13 at 5.15pm at the Lecture Hall of the Hong Kong Science Museum.
Being a film and television comedienne for more than 40 years, Lydia Sum brought joy to the lives of Hong Kong people and overseas Chinese communities with her trademark laughter. She appeared in more than 160 films, playing a wide variety of characters in vastly different movie genres. She was talented in many ways: acting, singing and dancing; but her best talent was to make people happy.
The 12 films ranging from 1962 to 2004 depicting different periods of Sum's career will be screened at the Cinema of HKFA, the Lecture Halls of the Hong Kong Science Museum and the Hong Kong Space Museum.
Selected films comprise Lydia's childhood work with Betty Loh Ti "Dream of the Red Chamber"; classic "Teddy Girls"; comic adapted film "Master Cute and Tai Fan Shu"; melodramas "Four Sisters", "Three Flowers of the Factory", "First Love Forever", "Lovely Husbands" and "The House of 72 Tenants"; films collaborating with Bill Tung "It's a Mad Mad Mad World", "Double Fattiness", "Mother vs Mother" and her swansong "In-laws, Out-laws".
All films except "Four Sisters", "Master Cute and Tai Fan Shu", "First Love Forever", "Three Flowers of the Factory" and "Lovely Husbands" have English subtitles. There are no marked seats for any of the screenings.
Tickets are available at all URBTIX outlets. As with other HKFA retrospective programmes, tickets are priced at HK$30, with half-price concession for senior citizens aged 60 or over, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients. Reservations can be made by phone on 2734 9009, or on the Internet at

Special WWII Collections at FSU
The Claude Pepper Library was established in 1985 as the official repository for the Pepper Collection, a unique and multi-faceted collection of manuscripts, photographs, audio/video recordings, and memorabilia by and about U.S. Congressman Claude Pepper (1900-1989). See the results of a search for "Claude Pepper and World War II" in FSU Special Collections Finding Aids: Claude Pepper and World War II
World War I and II Papers, FSU Special Collections & Archives
This collection consists of two groups of items. There are three army regulations post cards dated "Somewhere in France," which are acknowledgement of thanks from soldiers at the front, and they are addressed to Miss C. Tracey at Erie, Pennsylvania, 1918. The other part of this collection is a newspaper, The Stars and Stripes, extra, dated Tuesday, May 8, 1945, with headlines "Nazis Quit." With the newspaper are two arm bands of the German armed forces, one red and black and one black on yellow.
- Institute on World War II and the Human ExperienceHoused in FSU's History Dept., the Institute's mission is to collect and preserve the memories of the men and women who participated in all the military branches, service with the Merchant Marine, Red Cross, USO, workers and volunteers on the Home Front during the WWII era and the immediate post-war period (i.e., 1939 - 1949). With over 6,000 collections and growing, the Institute is one of the largest repositories on WWII in the US. In 2001, Tom Brokaw donated countless items sent to him while writing his three books on "The Greatest Generation."
This guide identifies primary sources related to the Second World War that are available in the Florida State University Libraries. Use the tabs across the top of the page to navigate between subjects.
The bulk of the material listed here deals with the United States & Germany, though Strozier has at least some sources from most other nations which participated in the war. Please feel free to use the contact information on the right side of this page if you have questions about any of these materials, know of something which should be added to the guide, or need help tracking down something which is not listed here.
To figure out how best to navigate this research guide, click on each tab (without selecting from the drop-down menu). This will open a general page explaining the categories beneath each tab which provides an introduction to major groups of resources. Please do not hesitate to contact us for additional research assistance.
Additional Resources Outside of FSU
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is another excellent resource for books, periodicals, manuscripts, newspapers, and archival materials in print, microfilm, and digital formats. FSU belongs to this international consortium of university, college, and independent research libraries, which allows FSU patrons to borrow CRL materials via interlibrary loan for extended periods.
One way to identify key collections is through CRL Topic Guides. See, for example, the Topic Guide for WWII and Aftermath, as well as topic guides on various regions and countries.
Hints for Searching the FSU Catalog and Discovery Tool
To search the FSU Libraries' Catalog (the catalog or inventory of ebooks and physical items such as books, microform, etc. in FSU Libraries' collections) : click on the "Find Books, Journals, and More" link on the left-hand menu , or select "Books and More" from the pull down, search menu in the top, right-hand corner " on the Libraries' homepage
To do a one-stop search in our discovery tool (called "Summon," which brings together the items in the library catalog and most of our electronic resources, including primary source and secondary source databases), select "Summon Search" from the Research Tab across the top, or type your search term into the "One Search" box in the center of the Libraries' homepage.
The default search for either system is Basic search and this is a good way to begin if you only have a very general subject in mind (no specific searches)
+ You can also use this type of search to search for a specific work by title or author (using the pull-down menu to choose the appropriate field – however, please be aware that you will not have the most accurate results using this interface to search by title and author, as explained in the section on advanced searching, below)
In either the catalog or Summon, a basic search means you put in your terms and simply click on search (do not select any particular field to search in).
+ Once you get an initial list of sources, you can narrow and find more sources several ways:
1. Re-sort the result list with "Sort By" drop-down menu box on right. When searching for primary sources, I suggest resorting by publication date -- oldest at top. For secondary sources, do the reverse to find the most recent publications.
2. Use "Narrow Results by" (Catalog) or "Refine your Search (Summon) menus on left – narrow by format or subject or other parameters
3. Click on the title link for a relevant resource and look at the record for more information. For example, click on a subject heading to find more works with that heading, or copy the heading (or headings if more than one pertain) and run an advanced search for that heading (or part of the heading if it is too specific). You can do the same with author to get a list of all books by that author. Click on an electronic link to open the resource if appropriate, or to look at the table of contents.
- The advanced search option lets you do more specialized searches
+ limit the search by selecting particular fields, such as title, author, subject heading, etc.
- In the Catalog you can also search for an exact title or author by clicking on the "search begins with (browse)" radio button and
- An even more precise form of advanced searching in the Catalog can be found by using "option 3" under advanced search (From the library's homepage, click on "advanced search" and then scroll down to "Option 3: Search lists of titles, call numbers, etc"). Some of the advanced features this offers are:
= truncating with * (make a word a wildcard search term with multiple options – such as africa* to get Africa, African, or Africans)
= browsing lists of subject headings (in "advanced search, option 3," you can see a list of subject headings holding a keyword. You can't do this in the regular catalog because searching by a subject keyword automatically brings up a list of books, rather than the headings themselves). Select "subject" in the pull-down menu to the left of the search box to use this feature.
= searching by specific call numbers (not just Library of Congress; this is especially useful for government documents and micromaterials). Select the appropriate type of call number from the pull-down menu to the left of the search box to use this feature.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - February 27, 1987):
These two important sites, at the center of the community, established the international fame of Saratoga Springs--"the Queen of the Spas"--as a health resort and gambling center for much of the 19th century. Congress Park was intimately associated with Dr. John Clarke, the popularizer of Saratoga water. The Casino recalls the careers of John Morrissey and Richard Canfield, the two gambling impresarios who turned Saratoga Springs into America's Monte Carlo.

Jury awards fired Metro mechanic $520,000
By Dug Begley | February 12, 2013
A Harris County jury awarded a former Metro mechanic $520,000 in back pay and damages in his wrongful termination lawsuit against the transit agency.
The award to Peter Thachamattam included $90,000 in back pay and $30,000 related to his loss of medical insurance and ensuing expenses. A judge must validate the ruling and can adjust the jury's award of $400,000 for past and future mental anguish.
During an appeals process after his firing in August 2009, Thachamattam, now 60, acknowledged his English-speaking skills were limited, and asked to have his son translate for him. Metro on two different occasions refused to let him have a translator.

Black Friday Means a White Hot Sale at HWC!
Collecting Foreign Editions Enhances Your Hobby
Collector Spotlight November 2012: Don Seifried
A.K.A. "Buzzinhummer" at HWC
You could call Don Seifried from Roseville, CA a man with a plan. He spends his days as an Executive Manager in the business world, but his free time is spent managing his
Hot Wheels collection. All his cars from childhood were sold during a family move, and when he resumed collecting as an adult, he decided he would observe a strict "open one, save one" policy. After building his collection up to over 10,000 cars, he's more than made up for that early setback, with no plans to stop!
HWC Eve: How did you get into collecting?
Don Seifried: I always bought or was given a Hot Wheels car for birthdays and holidays. I had the curves and track and all the cool stuff, including timers and meters, but we had to move and they were all sold at a garage sale, along with my Matchbox Cars by Lesney. A few years later a friend told me if you buy two Hot Wheels cars and only open one, someday you'd be rich. Well, I took that advice and in the late '70s I was buying many of them three each, one for me, one for my little brother and one to store away. As I grew up and made money with my career I would always buy a few after my paycheck was in the bank. It was my gift to me.
HWC Eve: How long have you been collecting?
DS: I started in the early to late '70s, so it's been a long time. I was picky and didn't buy every car, just the ones I liked. What a mistake! I should have bought all of them, at least one each.
HWC Eve: What's the first Hot Wheels car you had?
DS: The Paddy Wagon in dark blue and the Red Baron.
HWC Eve: Best Hot Wheels car in your collection?
DS: How can you pick one, they're all great. My all time favorites are the ones with Real Rider tires, like the cool Dream Van XGW and the Hi-Rakers.
HWC Eve: Latest, greatest Hot Wheels release?
DS: Not to be nostalgic, but I am in love with the Dairy Delivery! When I was a kid the milk truck at Royal Dairy in Denver always brought us our morning milk.
HWC Eve: How do you display your cars?
DS: I have them on my bookcases and around the room. Most are not visible, as I don't have that much space to put them out.
HWC Eve: Do you open them?
DS: On Kmart days I have to open them, but mostly I collect and store. The ones I open I give to the church to hand out to the kids.
HWC Eve: Other hobbies/collections?
DS: Matchbox cars, but I stopped when Lesney died. I have a small collection of G-scale trains in my garden.
HWC Eve: Okay, last question… what's your fondest Hot Wheels memory?
DS: My pop was the kind of pop who bought things for us kids, and I always managed to get a Hot Wheels car. We were at the stock show in Denver and I saw the Hot Wheels Funny Money car in a booth. I wanted it and Pop bought it for me. I opened it right up and played with it, and I still own it. I just wish the stickers were on it.
We're always looking for our next collector or custom to spotlight. If you would like to be considered for the HWC Spotlight, we want to hear from you. You could be in the spotlight next!

Maiduguri — About 6, 700 Diploma holders recently engaged by the Yobe State Government under the Youth Empowerment Programme, which was designed to address the problem of unemployment, have started collecting their monthly allowance of N15, 000 per person.
The youths were employed last October in what the governor says was a significant step in addressing the problem of idleness among youths, which is seen as potential contributor to the Boko Haram insurgency.
Chairman of the committee set up to coordinate the payment of allowances to the beneficiaries, Alhaji Kati Machina said 6, 751 youth are currently being paid their November allowances.
He said the payment of allowances to the newly recruited diploma holders comes six days after the State Assembly passed a request made by the state government forN8.623 billion to take care of over 10, 000 new employees engaged two months ago.
The state's Head of Service Alhaji Dauda Yahaya said 4, 000 of the beneficiaries will be engaged in teaching at primary schools, adding that the National Teachers Institute (NTI) has been brought in by the state government to train and prepare the beneficiaries for a career in teaching at the primary school level.
The Head of Service also said that 400 others will be deployed in hospitals across the state to assist in general administration. He said he is confident that their services will impact society positively.
He, however, observed that among the 6, 751 diploma holders engaged under the youth empowerment scheme, a few were found to have been already employed by the government. He said a new screening exercise will be conducted to address the problem.

WHAT is a salad without dressing, or boiled potatoes without a knob of butter? Now French researchers may have discovered why we find fatty foods so irresistible - because we may have a "taste bud" for fats.
When Phillippe Besnard and his colleagues at the University of Bourgogne in Dijon, France, examined mouse tongues they found a receptor protein called CD36 that appears to make lipids tasty to the animals. They believe humans may also have CD36 taste receptors and speculate that variations in their sensitivity may be linked to eating disorders and conditions such as obesity.
When mice engineered to lack CD36 were given a choice of two feed bottles containing fatty or fat-free feed they showed no preference for the fatty liquid, even after a period of starvation. Normal mice consistently chose the lipid-laced drink and consumed far more of it.
The taste bud also appears to prepare ...

One of our favorite annual events in New Orleans is coming up at New Orleans City Park – Lark in the Park 2014. Kick off the event by attending the Patron Party on March 14, 2014 from 7:00pm to 8:00pm at the Pavilion of the Two Sisters. Enjoy hors d'ouevres from Tableu and entertainment by Anais St. John while sipping on your delicious drink. Get tickets for Lark in the Park 2014 today!
Carousel Bar & Lounge Cocktail Featured at Lark in the Park 2014
The Lark in the Park 2014 Patron Party will feature a specialty cocktail designed by our very own Carousel Bar & Lounge, called "The Flying Horse."
During a meeting with the Friends of City Park at the Carousel Bar & Lounge at Hotel Monteleone on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013, Lark in the Park committee members sampled and voted on several hand-crafted cocktails to determine the winning recipe for The Flying Horse, which will be sponsored and served by Hotel Monteleone at the 2014 Lark in the Park Patron Party.
Flying Horse Cocktail Recipe
- 1 ¼ oz. Oryza vodka
- 2 Slices of fresh cucumber
- 1 – 2 Fresh strawberries, quartered
- ¼ oz. Simple syrup
- ¼ oz. Fresh lemon juice
- 3 oz. Ginger Beer
Place strawberry, cucumber, Oryza Vodka, simple syrup and fresh lemon juice in an ice filled Boston Shaker. Shake until well blended, and cucumber and strawberry have released their flavors. Roll into a 12 ounce Collins style glass, top with ginger beer and garnish with a slice of fresh cucumber.
Lark in the Park 2014 Proceeds to Restore City Park Carousel
Proceeds from Lark in the Park 2014 will go to the restoration of the City Park Carousel, a vibrantly colored, hand carved wooden carousel that has been cherished by New Orleanians for generations. As a historic attraction more than 100 years old, the City Park Carousel's horses and figures are in critical need of maintenance. Thirty of the horses on the Carousel are "flying horses," meaning they move up and down as the carousel revolves, hence the name for Hotel Monteleone's newly created cocktail – The Flying Horse.
"As home to the iconic Carousel Bar, it only makes sense that Hotel Monteleone would extend its generosity from one carousel to another and support the Friends of City Park in the restoration," said Ronald Pincus, vice-president and chief operating officer of Hotel Monteleone.

John Dollard and Neal Miller suggested, based on basic principles of learning theory, that habits that are reinforced tend to be repeated and eventually become part of a stable array of habits that form personality.
Alfred Bandura believed that much of our learning, and consequently many aspects of behavior and personality, takes place through observing the behavior of others and using observational behavior for modeling. According to Bandura, learning involves not only connections between stimuli and responses but also cognitive representation and rearrangement. A child, for example, who sees that cheating leads to punishment and honesty to rewards (cognitive representation) decides to model honest behavior (rearrangement). He used the term self‐efficacy to describe a person's belief in his or her capability of successfully executing a specific behavior. A strong sense of self‐efficacy allows a person to feel free to select, try, and complete behaviors leading to desired outcomes. Self‐efficacy is based upon feelings of self‐worth; people with high levels of self‐efficacy are more likely to attribute success to themselves rather than to chance or to others and to continue to select and control circumstances of their‐lives.

Rams v. Patriots
This week is the NFL's annual "International Series" game in London, at Wembley Stadium. Always a fun time, I'm sure, taking the sport elsewhere in the world for others to enjoy. (Though, if I am not mistaken, the NFL is much more popular in Germany, and I wonder why we have yet to take a game there.) It seems the fan favorite, is the New England Patriots, as we can see here, as they chant Rob Gronkowski on to "Spike the Mic," (somehow spiking the ball really hard, a basic move performed in the NFL since its creation, is now referred to as the 'Gronk.') and he gladly obliges. I let it be no secret, that I hate the Patriots, with a fiery passion. So I hope the Rams destroy them. And I think they will, as the Patriots are in a steady decline, and as I have stated before, the Patriots do not travel well, although they have been in town a couple of days.
I can only hope my fellow British and travelling European friends make it a living hell for the Patriots, although, I know it won't happen.
I've heard from a couple of friends, that, they are getting tired of seeing the Patriots in London, and more people that are fans of the NFL, actually prefer Florida's teams. (Tampa Bay Bucs, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jags) I was told this is due in part to Florida being a popular tourist vacation area, than the northeast (besides New York.)
Anyway, my money is on the Rams, simply because the Patriots don't perform all that well away from home, and moreso, across long distances.
Falcons @ Eagles
I think this will be the week the currently undefeated Falcons finally suffer a loss. I'm not the only one either . It really comes down to Andy Reid and his group versus Mike Nolan. Which they have really been successful at. I would know, since Nolan was Miami's defensive coordinator for years, and as awesome as Mike Nolan is, the Eagles have his number it seems. I think it comes down to more than that, moreso, the Eagles defense versus Atlanta's offense. I think that will be a major point in this game, and the Eagles will prevail there.
Dolphins @ Jets
Let's get this out of the way: I am probably going to pick the Dolphin's every game, except in the 49ers game later in the season. I can't help that. That being said, we are going to destroy the Jets. This week, this has been the game all over the media, due to some trash talk (by the Jets) and the Dolphin's, not stooping to their level, countering back with some words, in defence of their fellow teammates, but with little pock shots at the Jets. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Laron Landry, and some unknown moron named Maybin stated, "We want to knock him [Reggie Bush] out of the game," and that they are "head-hunting." Now, if the bounty scandal taught us anything, it is that those two players, should be suspended, at least for this game. I am sorry, but comments like that, directly threatening to injure a player, that is sickening. Not the first time the Jets have done so either, let us not forget the time they tripped Nolan Carroll on the sideline, injuring him after forming a wall to hurt the player. Now, Reggie Bush did say it was karma for Darrelle Revis to be injured after head coach Rex Ryan wanted to put some "hot sauce" on Bush. Which, as most players, coaches, and news outlets have stated, is completely a fair comment against the Jets, since they like to run their mouth so much. The Jets are the skidmark of the NFL, basically, and I pity anyone who is a fan.
Besides all that, the Dolphins are a much better team, with an NFL Quarterback that has only been in the league for 6 games, and is already much better than the 4 year pro Mark Sanchez. Sanchez has no poise in the pocket, and never has. He cannot handle a pass rushing team, and that is exactly what Miami is. The Dolphins are an all around better team in every facet of the game, except at our cornerback position, and possibly safeties. But that isn't a problem, since our stellar pass rush will limit the Jets opportunities. Our offense versus their defense is also a no-brainer. Our running game will be the key factor here, and it will do well.
Dolphins - 24 : Jets - 9
Redskins @ Steelers
I am still not buying into the Robert Griffin craze. The Steeler's are starting to get into their groove. The Redskins are a good team, but well enough to be a consistent .500+ team, I really don't think so. I see them at 6-10 or so, but the Steeler's are usually a perennial playoff team. The defense of the Redskins can't play four quarter's of football effectively, and I think that is what this game will come down to.
Seahawks @ Lions
I must admit, I am thoroughly impressed with the Seahawks. The same type of impressed I was with the Lions last year at this point. Now the tables have turned, and the Lions look like the Seahawks of the past, and vice versa. I almost feel bad for Detroit... almost. I am rooting for the Seahawks, they are the big underdog of the west coast.
Chargers @ Browns
I only know enough about these two teams to feel really bad for the Brown's, while applauding Brandon Weeden (who I picked up in my fantasy). Something has got to click for them to start winning. The Charger's I don't really know much about, except that I cannot stand Philip River's. As teams, the Charger's are clearly superior to the Brown's and unless they can learn how to win tomorrow, they...well, won't.
Panthers @ Bears
I really do not care for either of these teams, and won't even glance at this game. I just know the Bears are a better team overall than the Panthers, so, that is my pick.
Colts @ Titans
So, Chris Johnson, finally did something last week. And, the Colts fell again. Now, I need the Colts to win. This has little to do with the two teams facing each other (although, if that were the case I would still pick the Colts, because they are marginally better than the Titans) and more to do with the fact after my Dolphins take on the Jets, we go to take on the Colts. Teams have a better chance of winning coming off of a loss, thus I need the Colts to win, so the Dolphins have an even better chance of getting the win here. Consequently, during that week, I need the Titans to win, because the same scenario plays out, as we take on the Titans.
Fun stuff, eh?
Jaguars @ Packers
There is so much I could say about this game... That I am not going to, because it is as straightforward as they come. The Packers are in their groove, and look good as ever, the Jaguars.. are the Jaguars. If somehow the Jaguars win this game, I will personally give the first poster in this thread $10 via Paypal, just because it sounds like a sure bet to me.
Raiders @ Chiefs
I am really slacking it seems on other teams, because I don't know much about this one either. Sorry, I just don't keep up with completely irrelevant teams. (That isn't a shot at fans of these teams, but both are quite irrelevant right now, so unless I am a fan of either team, I don't keep up.) I pick the Chiefs because I dislike them less than the Raiders. This game is exactly how my presidential election pick will go.
Giants @ Cowboys
I love these two teams facing off. It allows me to p**s my sister-in-law a good bit. And there is nothing more fun than that, right?
The Giants are the better team here, as is Manning the superior QB. But let us not forget, the Giants' only divisional loss, is to the Cowboys. So there is that. But, the Cowboys have yet to beat the Giants at Cowboys Stadium since it has been built. Honestly, the Cowboys are not even a home team when playing at home. It is kind of sad, but that is what happens when you build a stadium like theirs. This division is anybodies for the taking, and this game is pretty big for both teams. This game could be a determining playoff spot later on down in the season. It should be a good one to watch. A much better fit for primetime than...
Saints @ Broncos
The Sunday primetime game...Wait...how many primetime games is that for the Broncos? I feel like I have watched them in every PrimeTime game. Well, it is their 4th game in primetime this season, and one can't help but wonder if Tebow were still here would they have 5 primetime games in one season? No, the answer is no. The reason isn't Tebow, it is Manning, we know this. But as far as I can tell, this season Manning has been what defines the term "average." It is very boring to watch; like Philip Rivers boring. But, it has results, much better ones than the Saints at least. Honestly, this is the toss-up game of the week. This game can truly go either way. The determining factor will be if the Saints defense have a good poker face up against Manning, or if they show their hand to early. Should be an interesting one, and pretty damn important for both teams, even if it isn't a conference game.
49ers @ Cardinals
For the sake of my fingers, as I am tired of typing, I am going to keep this short. This one probably deserves a much more thorough, in-depth breakdown than I am going to give it. This is a very important game for both teams; it is a divisional game, they both have superb records so far, etc, etc. Though, as bad as the 49ers have looked in their losses, they have looked just as good in their wins. In my opinion, they are the superior team to these Cardinals, who are slowly, but surely, falling apart as the season goes on. I honestly don't think the Cardinals stand a chance here, but hey, weirder things have happened.
See ya tomorrow for the games!

MOVIES, concerts and plays need never again be interrupted by the ringing of a mobile phone, as an Israeli company has found a way to block cellphone signals.
Netline Technologies will soon start selling "C-Guard", a short-range wall-mounted device that prevents mobiles taking or making calls. It's effective against all digital mobile formats.
C-Guard broadcasts low-power signals in a part of the mobile phone spectrum reserved for control signals between a base station and a phone, which ensure that only calls intended for that phone reach it. But C-Guard scuppers this "handshake" operation, so any phone within the area covered by the C-Guard signal will display a "no signal" messageas if it were out of range of the mobile network.
Netline says C-Guard can be used for spaces as small as offices or as large as convention centres and concert halls. The system can also be programmed so that some ...

Chris Wondolowski isn't the only Quake to earn praise for a noteworthy performance in Week 23. Victor Bernardez and Clarence Goodson are both nominated for top defender of the week for their solid performances in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Chivas USA.
Bernardez and Goodson both anchored a back line that kept a clean sheet against the attacking-style Chivas USA.
Be sure to vote for the duo here.
In just his first week back following a whirlwind month with the U.S. Men's National Team, 2013 MLS All-Star Chris Wondolowski is already making headlines with his two-goal performance that led the Quakes to a shutout victory over Chivas USA last Saturday.
Wondo's brace put him amongst Major League Soccer's Top 3 Performers of the Week. Check out highlights from his superb performance here:
The magic of the 3Ws lives on. #Wondow pic.twitter.com/Qr3znuSxWC
— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) August 4, 2013
Since Chris Wondolowski sported his misspelled jersey on the Men's National Team and scored a hat trick, he has been superstitious about carrying around that extra W for every game.
So of course, Quakes equipment manager Jose Vega surprised Wondo with an extra W on his kit when he returned to Buck Shaw. Superstitious it may be, but we do not doubt it.
Wondo led the quakes to victory over the Chivas by scoring the two goals of the game. Needless to say, ff it is working for him, we do not mind supplying as many extra W's as he wants.
It was Shelby Humphrey's birthday wish to attend a Quakes home game to see her favorite player, Chris Wondolowski.
To make this happen, she saved her allowance and any extra funds she could find since March of this year, naming it the "Wondo Fund." Shelby ended up collecting the funds needed to purchase a ticket for her and was able to celebrate her special day with the Quakes at Buck Shaw Stadium. Shelby's friend wrote a poem for her about her favorite Wondo.
It was a night to remember - not only was she able to see her favorite team dominate on the field, but after the game, Wondo signed the poem and posed for a photo.
Happy birthday, Shelby!
For Chris Wondolowski's big return back to Buck Shaw Stadium after his world travels, he was not only welcomed home with open arms by fans, but also by his family. This was the first time that Wondolowski's grandfather has seen him play at home in Santa Clara.
This was a special moment for both of them because his grandfather, who flew in from Oklahoma, was in attendance to see Wondo's two goals for the 2-0 win over Chivas USA.
Enjoying watching the @RAIDERS training camp right now. They are putting in the work and looking sharp.
— Chris Wondolowski (@ChrisWondo) August 4, 2013
Gold Cup ----> MLS All-Star ----> Buck Shaw ---> Oakland Raiders training camp?
Wondo's been a busy guy lately, but that didn't keep him from stop by the Raiders' training camp in Napa on Sunday.
He even got to hang out with kicker Sebastian Janikowski after training.
K Sebastian Janikowski spends some time with @SJEarthquakes @ChrisWondo after practice. pic.twitter.com/4vzYktAk27
— OAKLAND RAIDERS (@RAIDERS) August 4, 2013
Fans pack Buck Shaw to see Wondo's return, Goodson and Alas' debuts and the Quakes victory over Chivas USA.
Add some more goonie swag to your life.
Tomorrow's match presenting sponsor, Alaska Airlines, is giving away these sweet shades to 2500 fans in attendance.
Remember tomorrow's kickoff for Quakes vs. Chivas USA is at 7 p.m. PT. Arrive early to snag your swag.
Two worlds collided when ultimate Quakes fan Kate McDougall made the pilgrimage to the Goonies House in Astoria, Ore. The house is the set of the 1985 cult-classic film and holds a special place in the hearts of Quakes' fans.
McDougall threw up her Earthquakes scarf for the photo op. Thanks for sharing, Kate!
Chris Wondolowski has had a busy summer representing the National Team, being named to the 2013 MLS All-Stars and leading the San Jose Earthquakes in goals.
On Wednesday night in Kansas City, Wondo suited up for the 2013 MLS All-Star Game, appearing as a halftime substitution. Although the All-Stars went on to fall 3-0 to AS Roma, Wondo left an impression on All-Star coach Peter Vermes. Vermes had this to say on Wondolowski and fellow All-Star Landon Donovan:
"I thought both those guys did well. Landon is a world class player that does so many things on the field that I don't think people realize that gets taken for granted. And Wondo, we had to play him a little bit out of position a little bit. He likes to play closer to goal, but we had him wide at times. They did a hell of a job."
Wondolowski has appeared in three consecutive MLS All-Star Games.

It's always nice to think you know exactly who you are, and what kind of person you really present yourself as. Truth is, I still cannot sincerely describe myself as a result of my ever-changing life. There are a million things that have made me, from my passion for Music/Drumming, and love for exploring the outdoors, to my quest to find the perfect glass of red wine. That's the reason I'm here, scrawling tidbits of my evolving existence into the unending internet. I want to discover everything about myself, and ascertain the true tone of my personality. I hope you'll find it somewhat interesting. Cheers!

After bagging the Athletics Kenya (AK) Athlete of the Year award, world 800m record holder and Olympic champion David Rudisha will be looking for more accolades during Thursday's Safaricom Sports Personality of the Years Awards at Carnivore.
Rudisha has had a marvelous season, which culminated in winning gold and in the process breaking his own 800m record (1:40.91) at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
The feat has seen him also handed the IAAF Performance of the Year award at the recently concluded IAAF Gala in Barcelona. During the AK Gala held at a Nairobi Club, Rudisha also walked away with the middle distance award and another for being among the two world record holders. The other was Dennis Kimetto who holds the fastest time over the 25km distance.
Rudisha could not hide his joy for crowning the season with the local and international titles. "To be named the overall winner today barely a week after I was recognised by the IAAF for the performance of the year is a big honour," said Rudisha. "Receiving an IAAF award is every athlete's dream and I am happy that I have managed to do that."
He applauded the team to the 2012 London Olympics, which he captained, saying: "As the captain of the Kenya team to London, I can proudly say the team did very well winning 11 medals. There were countries that had bigger number of representatives but returned home empty handed.
All we need is support from everyone including AK and the government." Rudisha is the frontrunner in the SOYA Athlete of the Year award won by world double champion Vivian Cheruiyot last year.
Other nominees for the top award are--Harambee Stars' and Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama, swimmer Jason Dunford, Paralympics champion Abraham Tarbei, Olympic and two time world champion Ezekiel Kemboi, 2012 London Marathon champion Mary Keitany and Vivian Cheruiyot.

Altoona � Beginning Monday, May 10, Cottle�s Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. of Bedford County will start work on the Route 4003 (Mill Run Bridge) project in Altoona, Blair County.
The $1.2 million project will consist of the replacement of the structure over Mill Run located on Broad Avenue and 31st Street in Altoona. Also as a part of this project there will be traffic signal upgrades and resurfacing and repairs to the bridge approaches.
Motorists are advised to use caution while traveling through this work zone. Route 4024 (Broad Avenue) and Route 4003 (Logan Boulevard) will be reduced to an 11 foot single lane during construction. Because of the reduced lane width, a truck detour is in place. Trucks will be re-routed on a 1.2 mile detour from Route 4003 (Logan Boulevard) to Route 764 to 31st Street.

We are developing methods to assess the risks of existing and new technologies in terms of cost and other performance metrics, and how these risks might change in interesting and important ways with the scale of adoption.
Many evaluations of technologies focus on their long-term potential for improvements due to innovation, but the short term riskiness of technologies is also important for evaluating their viability. Short term risks can arise, for example, from changes in efficiency and cost. Moreover, the overall riskiness of technologies can change with production scale. Here we analyze data and develop models to assess technologies based on their riskiness.
We decompose biofuels feedstock supply risks into agriculture supply shocks (due to random events) and competing demand shocks (a function of demand for food crops which is partially unpredictable) and show that the historical yields of major crops used in the biofuels industry show a significant level of volatility. We relate the resilience of the biofuels supply chain to scale and technological specifications and then discuss the merits and limitations of various strategies for reducing the supply risks of biofuels. Our framework is applied to the case of biofuels; however, it provides general insights and analytical frameworks to analyze the performance and scalability potential of other emerging technologies.

Evaluating the scalability of PV input materials: Photovoltaics (PV) is an energy technology that is promising in its climate change mitigation potential. In order to sustain rapid growth in PV manufacturing, it is important to produce a sufficient quantity of input materials in a cost-effective and timely manner. In this project we evaluate the material requirements of large-scale PV deployment and the supply risks associated with these materials.
In the first part of this project, we ask whether metals production can be scaled up at a pace that matches the rapidly increasing PV deployment levels put forward in aggressive low-carbon energy scenarios. We present a new perspective on the metal requirements of PV deployment by estimating the growth rates required for the annual production of PV metals to satisfy the projected PV deployment levels in 2030. We also compare the required growth rates to the historical growth of a large set of metals in order to assess how realistic the projections are.

- Kavlak G, McNerney J, Jaffe RL, Trancik JE, Metals production requirements for rapid photovoltaics deployment, to appear in Energy & Environmental Science link, SSRN, ArXiv.
In the second part of this project, we study the supply risks of PV metals in order to address concerns regarding the scalability of PV technologies. We are examining the supply risk by using historical metals price and production time series data. The lessons of the past can inform resource planning for today's and tomorrow's technologies.

The keys, which will contain a "portable office" suite of software and other tools, will be given to 130,000 secondary-school pupils and 45,000 first-year apprentices at training centers at the start of the 2007 school year.
The portable office will include the office software suite, an Internet browser, an e-mail client, an instant-messaging client, and audio and video player software, according to the Ile-de-France regional council. The open-source software will work in the Windows environment.
The project will "represent for students a tool of freedom and mobility between their school, cybercafes and their home or friends' PCs," the council said. The operation will cost $3.38 million (2.6 million euros).
The president of the regional council, Jean-Paul Huchon, is a self-confessed "partisan of the rebalancing of the supply of proprietary and open-source software" who previously welcomed the launch of the Firefox 2 browser and led the support for a creation of a competitiveness hub based on open source.

- Like it or now, Open Source is good for the software industry overall, it forces stoburn companies to notice and change, like MS.
I been using Microsoft OSes since 1990 and others as well even before that and MS is the worse OS as far as crashes, freezing, and viruses, worms goes.
It is true that Linux ins't as pretty yet as Windows or have support for the many games, but so what, it will get better with time.
Imagine if Mac and Linux didn't exits, MS would do whatever hell they wanted.

Court: Wife broke law with spyware

Worst spyware queues upDecember 21, 2004

Bugbear variant mauls PCsJune 5, 2003
The Florida Appeals Court, Fifth District said that Beverly Ann O'Brien "illegally obtained" records of husband James' online conversations with another woman as the two played Yahoo Dominoes together.
"It is illegal and punishable as a crime under (state law) to intercept electronic communications," wrote Judge Donald Grincewicz on behalf of a three-judge panel.
He and the two other judges barred Beverly O'Brien from revealing the contents of the intercepted conversations, and said the chat records could not be introduced as evidence in the unhappy couple's divorce proceedings.
The Florida case highlights growing social friction over the use of clandestine electronic monitoring software, which has become more widespread in the last few years. Businesses may monitor employees' e-mail and instant messaging conversations, and the FBI has used a key logger to snare passwords typed in by an alleged mobster. Some Internet-distributed malware programs can log passwords, account numbers and other sensitive information.
At issue in this case was whether the use of the spyware, called Spector, violated Florida's wiretapping law. The law says anyone who "intentionally intercepts" any "electronic communication" commits a criminal act. (The case was a civil lawsuit arising out of the divorce proceeding, not a criminal prosecution.)
Beverly O'Brien's lawyers argued that the monitoring didn't fall under the law's prohibitions and was kin to reading a stored file on her husband's computer--which would not be treated as wiretapping.
But Grincewicz concluded that "because the spyware installed by the wife intercepted the electronic communication contemporaneously with transmission, copied it and routed the copy to a file in the computer's hard drive, the electronic communications were intercepted in violation of the Florida Act."

- law applied wrong
- unless im wrong about the technique... she probably used a key logger which did not intercept the message but captured a key stroke... which technically wouldnt break the law... and if its shared property (since their married) i dont see how she isnt allowed to do this as its her property.
and lets face it why the **** are courts being filled with this crap

- Here is where she made her error
- She should have used the program to find them meeting somewhere in public. Then take photographs of them together in public. Had she done that, there would have been no need to mention the program.
I am curious if virtual cheating is considered by the courts the same as real cheating. Seems more like interactive porn rather than out and out cheating but I am sure that is a matter of perspective.

- All I can say is if you put it out there&be prepared for what you read! I put Spector Pro on my now EX-Wifes computer because like all of us we suspect something. Well, sure enough, she was bangin some dude and when I confronted her with it&I got sued for >$70k and ended up setting because I didnt inform the other users that there was monitoring software on the computer. I would love to speak with a high-powered attorney but she tapped me out and I couldnt take the screwing and getting screwed so I rolled over and gave in. I have to agree though, DO NOT tell your partner/spouse/cheater who ever they are that you bugged their computer&its against the law in ALL 50 states and the software manufactures should tell end users that but they want to sell more copies so a hard lesson learned. Use it but dont tell a SOLE! Good luck! ~ BAZ

- However, you are required by the SpectorSoft license agreement to install eBlaster ONLY on a computer you own and to inform anyone using your computer that monitoring software has been installed. You may also be required by local, state or federal laws to inform anyone who may use your computer that logging software has been installed on your computer.

- Long before there were "keyloggers" I simply used a version of Norton Systemworks to recover "deleted" emails from my then-DH to his online lover. Found out they had met in R/L when he supposedly "went to his brother's for SuperBowl Weekend". I'm now happily single and he's in the process of drinking himself to death - alone, with his two little dogs.....Our oldest daughter is expecting her first child - and has publicly stated that "Dad won't be alone with her until she's old enough to fend for herself and/or call for help on her own cell phone....He never used carseats with US, and I can't tell when he's sober or not..."

Israel's Knesset is debating a controversial bill that would authorize parliamentary investigations of Israeli groups critical of the country's policies toward the Palestinians.
Knesset members were addressing the plenum into Wednesday evening ahead of a vote scheduled on the same day. The bill, which is on its second and third readings, is expected to fail by a few votes, according to reports.
The measure targeting left-wing nongovernmental organizations is sponsored by Likud lawmaker Danny Danon and Yisrael Beiteinu lawmaker Faina Kirschenbaum.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes the bill and said he will vote against it, but is allowing his Likud Party's lawmakers to vote according to their own conscience. Most Likud Cabinet members reportedly oppose the bill, though the rest of the party members are supporting it, according to Haaretz, The Prime Minister's Office in recent days reportedly was lobbying Knesset members to vote against the bill.
Yisrael Beiteinu said it will call for a roll call vote, where lawmakers must make their votes public, rather than a secret ballot.
The bill passed its first reading by a vote of 41 to 16.
"Those who vote in favor of this law will become voters against Israel," opposition leader Tzipi Livni said Wednesday during the debate. "The evil spirits that have filled the Knesset are anti-democratic and violate the interests of the State of Israel."
Addressing the bill's sponsors, she added that "This idea came about as a way to probe citizens who do not think like you."
The fight over the parliamentary inquiries comes on the heels of the Knesset's passage of a controversial anti-boycott law that sanctions those who boycott Israel or West Bank Jewish settlements. That law, which Netanyahu said he supports, has been decried as anti-democratic by opposition parties, left-wing NGOs and civil rights groups in Israel. American Jewish groups also have criticized the measure.

The schooner 'Bowdoin' at sea, 1934
Contributed by Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center
In this at-sea shot, some of the schooner Bowdoin's gear can be seen on deck: an anchor and chain, as well as the three dories stacked against the schooner's port rail.
These were ready to be launched if needed for getting to shore, or to serve as lifeboats. Occasionally, the crew of the schooner that Donald B. MacMillan had built for Arctic exploration used a dory as a large bathtub!
In 1934, the Bowdoin sailed to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador, and Baffin Island on a three-month expedition to study bird life and plants.

Actor Salmam Khan, who is busy shooting for his film "Jai Ho", has managed to take out time to create awareness of the "Girl Child, Women Empowerment" programme, and says if he ever has a child, he wishes it should be a girl.
"If I ever have a child.. Insh'allah I will... I wish its a girl. I want a girl child," Salman told IANS at the press conference of the social cause.
Salman Khan is supporting the cause along with Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and Sanjana Jon who is in India for 10 days for the awareness programme.
Salman asks how can you kill the child even before its birth.
"How can you kill a child even before its birth... Its not about awareness, its about your mentality. If you kill the girl child, eventually there will be no mothers and sisters and guys will have no women to marry. Women play a huge role in our lives."
The actor further revealed he is glad that he has two sisters who are taking care of his parents better than any of them.
"Women are ruling today... how can they be a burden. In my family I have two sisters and they takes care of my parents more than any of us. I am glad I have two sisters."
