Things Have to Change

Things Have to Change!
by Lizzie Moyle
Changing career is a phenomenon of modern life. Most studies show that the average job-seeker will change career (not jobs) several times during the course of his or her lifetime.
Here, Lizzy Moyle of Moyle Consulting, shares some strategies on why, how and when to have a career change.
THERE are many reasons for a change in career - everyone has their own motivation. Maybe you have had time away from your career and you have decided that a change is in order. Perhaps the career you worked in previously is too demanding now that you have a family. Or you may have developed new interests while away from work. Maybe the job outlook in your field is less promising than it was due to changes in technology, the economy or the industry you work in. Perhaps the job you once loved no longer inspires or challenges you.
Whether you are wishing to just tweak your career path or are considering a massive change, it is important to invest some time in researching and planning before you begin.
During a self-assessment you will gather information about yourself which will help you come up with a list of occupations that may be suitable for you.
Interests -
What do you like and dislike doing at work, and in your spare time? What excites and energises you? What are you passionate about?
Values -
Consider how important different values are to you. Examples of these values, which play an important role in one's job satisfaction, include autonomy, security, a flexible work schedule, helping others, prestige, leisure time and a high salary.
Skills and Attributes -
What are your strengths? Remember, there are many skills (such as communication, leadership, organisational) and previous experiences that are valuable and transferable to new careers.
Your Realities -
Consider things such as your existing parental, community and financial responsibilities.
Explore and Evaluate Career Options
Once you have discovered (or rediscovered) what you are good at, and what interests and inspires you, spend some time researching the types of careers which centre around these characteristics.
Explore the occupations in which you are interested. Undertake research into job duties, employment outlook, earnings, education and training requirements.
You can find some great career information on websites such as: www.jobguide.thegoodguides.com.au, www.jobsearch.gov.au/joboutlook and www.getaccess.com.au published by the WA Department of Education, Science and Training and the Federal Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. Attend Career Expos and talk to people working in the field in which you are interested to obtain first-hand and inside knowledge.
Use this information to pare down your choices of possible occupations. For example, you may not be willing to put the time and energy into an occupation for which an advanced degree is required, or you may consider the likely earnings for a particular occupation inadequate. Maybe the future employment prospects for a certain occupation are too limited.
Set Goals and Make a Career Action Plan
Define what you wish to achieve with regard to your new career, both from a short and long term perspective.
Your career goals should be:
- achievable (you must have the attributes, energy and time to accomplish them),
- believable (you must believe you can reach them) and
- flexible (you must be prepared to modify them as necessary).
Consider approaching change methodically rather than radically. Nowadays, it can be harder to make a radical change as the marketplace expects credentials and experience.
If you are contemplating a new career in a new industry, consider utilising your current skills in the new industry first. Then, once you have consolidated your new position in the new industry, you can work to change your role in that new industry.
Sometimes, changing both roles and industries at once may be difficult.
Formulate a Career Action Plan which lists the steps you need to take to reach your career goals, together with a time frame in which you wish to achieve them.
The Plan may include:
- extra skills you need to acquire or further study you may need to undertake. You may consider temping or volunteering in your new field to get some 'on the ground' training.
- a job search strategy in line with your chosen new career. This includes researching the companies you are interested in working for and the industries you are interested in working in.
- a resumé which reflects your new career.
- research and preparation for interviews in your new field.
Seek Help
You may wish to seek the services of a Career Counsellor to help you through this process. Career Counsellors will help clients assess their values, interests, abilities and skills and relate these to opportunities for employment, further study and training.
The Australian Association of Career Counsellors and the Australian Psychological Society Australian Psychological Society can provide a list of accredited Career Counsellors in your area. Centrelink also offers careers advice available through Career Information Centres. Staffed by specialist career counsellors, these centres are designed to help people make decisions on career change, education and training options, job hunting and so on. (email: email@example.com)
However, whether or not you choose to work with a professional, or work through the process on your own is less important than the amount of thought and energy you put into choosing a new career.
Planning for Success
The journey towards a new career is not always smooth, but it can be an exciting process which leads to successful career advancement and personal growth. With some serious thinking, constructive research and a solid plan of action, it could be time to take the career change plunge.
You may arrive at your final destination sooner than you think.

Police are investigating the loss of nearly Sh145 million stolen from banks by fraudsters in the last two months.
The criminals, police say, are technology-savvy as they use computer technology and the internet to steal from the banks. (READ: Woman's agony after account drained dry)
Police reports seen by the Nation show besides banks, other financial institutions and big companies have also lost huge sums of money.
In one of the cases Sh10 million was stolen from Dyer and Blair Investment Bank. In another, Co-operative Bank reported Sh5.9 million was stolen and CFC Stanbic Bank has also lost Sh47 million.
Remain at large
In all three cases, the culprits remain at large. But in a case involving loss of Sh4.9 million from Barclays Bank, police have arrested two employees who they are preparing to arraign in court.
Fifty-five cases have been heard in court on the stolen cash. Mueni Muthoka was jailed for 18 months for stealing Sh4.4 million from Barclays Bank, out of which Sh3.1 million was recovered.
A separate case saw CFC Stanbic lose Sh28 million after five people who had been charged for stealing the money were acquitted by court. The court freed them for lack of evidence.
In a separate case, Barclays Bank lost Sh53 million after Mr Stephen Maina Gichuhi, who had been charged with stealing Sh69 million, was acquitted. Sh16 million was recovered.
The court freed him saying, "the charges were not supported by evidence adduced."
Another case involving theft of Sh2.5 million from Bank of Africa, Geoffrey Kundu was sentenced two-and-half years in prison.
The Gulf African Bank also lost Sh38 million and Rashid Mwakauli was charged with three counts. He was jailed for two years for two charges and freed on the other charge.
The same bank lost Sh6.1 million in a separate case in which Mr Nathan Mulwa was acquitted.
South Nyanza Sugar Company also lost Sh8.5 million in a case involving Bank of Baroda and Kamili Packers Ltd, which is still under investigation.
Forgery and embezzlement
In total, 136 cases of fraud were reported to police in the two months and involved Sh295,969,805, which was reported stolen and Sh152,895,256 has since been recovered.
The money was lost mainly through credit card fraud, electronic fund transfers and transacting using stolen cheque leafs. Forgery and embezzlement by bank staff was also cited.
Police believe the amount reported reflect a small portion of real losses suffered since banks sometimes prefer internal disciplinary measures in cases involving employees.
In December last year Sh500 million disappeared from major financial institutions.
In another pending court case, Mr Geoffery Githaiga is charged with stealing Sh240,778 from his employer, Equity Bank. The case is scheduled for hearing on October 31.

'Desperate Housewives' Doug Savant is 'very confident that we're coming back'
Times are very different for "Desperate Housewives" this season as it approaches Sunday's (May 15) two-hour Season 7 finale with no official word on whether it's returning next season.
Reports in April stated that the last holdouts among the "Housewives" stars to sign on for next season were close to finalizing their deal, which would be followed soon after by an official announcement from ABC. Yet, that announcement has yet to come.
"Desperate" husband, James Denton, had previously said the negotiations had become more complicated than expected and that the men hadn't even been approached pending the women's negotiations. That seems to have changed.
"Yes, we've been approached," Doug Savant, who plays Tom Scavo, tells Zap2it. "Here's the thing. I feel very confident. There's no official announcement. We're not officially picked up. Upfronts are coming up, so we should know something by the middle of the month."
"For a seven year old series," Savant continues. "We're still one of the top 10 scripted shows in all of television. We're in the top 20 shows across all genres, scripted and unscripted. So, we are -- and I say this humbly -- I'm grateful that we're still one of the most exceptional shows in all of television."
Industry-wide there's very little doubt that the show will return for another season, but the negotiations have really kept the attention of the media and fans. Creator Marc Cherry will have less of a presence on the show next season, so he can work on his new pilots. And the women are reportedly only signing for one year at time at this point with an option to renew with a salary bump if the program goes on for a second year after that.
Savant, though, tells us that the show is in a great position to continue, "I'm very confident that we're coming back and we're going to have another season and I hope many more to come. As long as the audience is there and there's still a passionate fan base -- and we certainly have that -- 'Desperate Housewives' will still be on the air."
Zappers, how many seasons do you think the series has left in it?

"This has been the largest Education Summit to date and it was a huge success," said Lisa Marie, Farouk Systems Show Director. "Next year we plan to be even bigger and stronger with more salon owners, stylists and schools that believe in our mission statement of Environment, Education and Ethics."
The event ended with the first annual Farouk Systems Artist Choice Awards to honor individuals who give their all and more. This is a truly exceptional honor as the winners were selected by their peers. Congratulations to:

The Anabel Leadership Academy (ALA) at the weekend linked the country's youth unemployment to kidnapping in the South East, violent crimes and armed robbery in the South West, religious killings and Boko Haram in the North and militancy in the Niger Delta.
President of the academy, Mr. Nicholas Okoye explained the link in a statement, noting that the crises were erupting and escalating as a direct result of what he ascribed to the frustration of the youth in all parts of the country.
But the president unveiled the new initiative of the academy to organise Empower Nigeria Conference Series and Road Show aimed at developing entrepreneurial skill in the youths rather than preparing them for paid employment.
He explained that all the crisis of kidnapping in the South East, violent crimes and armed robbery in the South West, religious killings and Boko Haram in the North, militancy in the Niger Delta "are all as a direct result of the frustration of the youth.
"With the direction our leaders at all levels have been taking Nigeria, the emphasis on Private Jets by business leaders, political leaders and even the religious leaders, demonstrated clearly that our leaders were disconnected from the problems on the streets of Nigeria," Okoye said.
He added that the Nigerian youths "need jobs. We must find a way to give them access to participate in the national economy. We cannot keep waiting for large companies or the Federal and State Governments to create jobs.
"The few jobs these institutions will create will be insignificant to the millions of young people that are out of work and need a means of livelihood. We need a totally new radical approach to Job creation, which will be based on "youth empowerment" giving the young people an opportunity to take their destiny into their own hands," the president said.
He explained that the Empower Nigeria conference would be hosted by the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus and attract over 1534 young entrepreneurs, students, self-employed and even job seekers, who besieged the venue in search of direction and hope for a better future in Nigeria.
He added that the most important element for Nigeria to attain the status of an emerging economic power in the global economy was for a clear and concise strategy on "youth empowerment" to be developed and implemented by the country's Leadership.
He said the conference series and road show would be going all around the country in an effort to wake up the Nigerian youths to shape their future and stop waiting for miracles and non-existent jobs to fall into their laps.
He said a high light of the conference was the unveiling of over 250 business ideas and cottage modular industries, researched and promoted by the Anabel Leadership Academy, which anyone could start off with less than N250, 000.
He added that the event "was supported by many high profile speakers who will give personal accounts of their path to success and the challenges they faced as well as the strategies they implored to get ahead in life".
Some of the notable speakers include Special Adviser to the President on Technical Matters, Mr. Nze Akachukwu Nwankpo, Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Mr. Osita Chidoka, Chairman /CEO of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, Dr Sam Amadi and Enugu State Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Mr. Chijoke Agu among others.

Sky Angel is working on a mini-pack of channels from Dish Network that they hope to be able to offer their customers later this year.
I sent the following e-mail to Sky Angel recently:
"Would you consider working with Dish Network to offer a 'mini-pack' of
some of their channels from the 61.5 W location? The two transponders
that are unused there could be put to work.
"Here is my suggestion for the make-up of that mini-pack:
Fox News
CNN Headline News
The Weather Channel
PBS Kids
History International
Turner Classic Movies
ESPN News
"ESPN could be dropped, if necessary, to make
it more affordable. It would be nice if the mini-pack could run at
$12-15 a month (or less).
"If nothing else, it would be nice to have a 'News mini-pack', which
would consist of something like this:
Fox News
CNN Headline News
The Weather Channel
ESPN News
"Such a package might be able to be offered for under $10.00/month.
"Thanks for your consideration."
This was the reply:
"Subject: FW: Programming (A Dish Network email)
"Thanks for writing Sky Angel. We are currently working on a Family
package of channels that resembles the channels listed below as well as
the price. We do appreciate your interest and hope to have that
completed sometime this year.
Kathy Johnson
VP Programming
Sky Angel"

First of all, I must admit, I am one of those people that can get influenced by commercials to try new things.
So when I saw the commercials for the new Hot Wings at Kentucky Fried Chicken, my love for hot wings and the clever idea of a sauceless hot wing, drove me to the nearest KFC in Baldwin Park for lunch today.
I went ahead and ordered the meal that came with 6 pieces of hot wings, potato wedges and a drink for $5 and change after taxes.
The wing pieces were the usual size as hot wings sold elsewhere and they were crispy. But, as I mentioned before – I am a big fan of hot wings and with these wings, I was not feeling the heat.
If you've been to Popeye's and ordered the spicy chicken, then you'll know what I'm talking about next.
KFC put the spicy sauce inside the wings, between the chicken and the skin, making it 'sauceless' but the spices were not very hot.
And in my opinion, the Popeye's spicy chicken is so much better than KFC's, just as their mashed potatoes should not be in the same category as KFC's version.
I should have gotten the hint that they weren't so hot with the dozens of hot sauce packets thrown in my take-out bag.
So, now I need to fulfill my hot wings craving. Sounds like a trip to Hooters or Denny's this weekend :-p
New KFC Hot Wings

Diabetes Linked to Increased Cancer Risk
People with diabetes have up to twice the risk of developing liver, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers of people who do not have diabetes, according to a study published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. Cancers of the colon, rectum, bladder, and breast are also more common among people with diabetes. The reason for the increased risk is unknown, but it may be similar risk factors for both diseases, such as obesity and older age. The link may also be from diabetic complications like high blood sugar, high blood insulin, inflammation, or altered hormone regulation, all of which can increase cancer risk. This report from the American Diabetes Association and the American Cancer Society suggests that a high intake of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables and a low intake of processed and red meats are associated with lower cancer risk.
Giovannucci E, Harlan DM, Archer MC, et al. Diabetes and cancer: a consensus report. CA Cancer J Clin. Published ahead of print June 16, 2010. doi: 10.3322/caac.20078.
Dietary Lignans Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
Postmenopausal women whose diets include plenty of lignans, natural compounds found in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and flax and sesame seeds, may have a lower risk of breast cancer, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers found that postmenopausal women who consumed plenty of lignans reduced their risk of breast cancer by 14 percent. Lignans are similar in some ways to the isoflavones found in soy products, but are found in a variety of foods other than soy products. Researchers reviewed 21 prior studies to observe the connection between diet and breast cancer risk. The benefit from lignans may be due to their ability to block estrogen's activity in the body or to other anticancer effects.

Meat Intake Linked to Bladder Cancer
Consumption of red and processed meats increases the risk of bladder cancer, according to a new study. Researchers looked at more than 300,000 men and women and found that those who consumed the most red meat had a 22 percent increased risk of bladder cancer, compared with those who ate the least. Consumption of nitrites and nitrates, compounds used for preserving, coloring, and flavoring processed meats, was associated with a 28 to 29 percent increased risk at highest intake levels. PhIP, a chemical commonly found in grilled chicken and other meats heated to a certain temperature, was associated with a 19 percent increased risk of bladder cancer. Participants were part of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study and were included in a seven-year follow-up.
PhIP has been linked to numerous cancers in humans, including breast, colon, and prostate. Nitrites and nitrates have long been recognized as potent carcinogens.

I tend to have a preference for getting the Discworld novels in a trilogy hardcover binding whenever possible, and since there are three "Science of Discworld" novels, it would seem a likely candidate for a trilogy binding.
Thoughts ?

A beginner's introduction to web design and development
This article is Out of Date.
Welcome to the Web Platform Docs beginner's article series!
Merge Candidate: This page is a candidate for merge with the following pages: Beginners
Deletion Candidate: Not required
This set of articles is designed to allow complete beginners to web design and development to get comfortable with coding the web, by working through a series of simple tutorials, slowly building confidence and not being overwhelmed by details, facts and figures to begin with. As you get more experienced with web development you may wish to delve into other areas of Web Platform Docs to get more detailed, complete information, however here we will just cover the essentials you need to get started.
If you are already experienced with web development, this is not the place for you, and you should find topics that interest you at our main page. If you have previous experience of web development but your skillset is very outdated (perhaps you are a developer or teacher, and your knowledge comes from 15 years ago?) then you may wish to review the course anyway to get a quick feel of modern web development practices and work flow.
Before you start
If you are reading this, then you probably have some kind of interest in making your own web content, and a basic level of proficiency in using computers and the internet. That's great - building web sites and applications is a really fun and rewarding way to facilitate sharing videos and images, expressing your opinion, starting up discussions, getting yourself known, promoting your business, or even creating a business from scratch.
We want to warn you now — creating web content is not an easy skill to pick up. Mastering it requires a lot of time spent researching, tinkering, learning and practising. But this is not the aim here — this course is designed to get you at least comfortable with the basics, allowing you to make that first jump into web development as easily as possible. We want to use this opportunity to show you that coding for the web is not unachievable voodoo magic — it is within the ability of anyone who is willing to just sit down and spend some time focusing.
Our advice is that you should work through the different parts below in order, not stopping to look at individual subjects in any greater detail the first time round. Then the second time round, go through the course again, and this time stop to go into greater detail on HTML, CSS, etc. Throughout the course we have provided links to further articles containing more information at regular points along the way, so you can find what you need!
Now roll your sleeves up and let's get ready to learn.
Explore our Beginner's docs
Part 1: The beginning
The very first part of our beginner's material gives you some important background on how everything works, and gets you set up and ready to go with web site building.
Part 2: A crash course in web site code
Next, we will give you a quick and dirty introduction to the fundamentals of web site code, allowing you to get comfortable early on with some real development work!
Part 3: Planning our example project
Next we will introduce an example project for you to work on, to get used to the planning side of web development with open web standards. Let's build a recipe site!
Part 4: Structuring our content with HTML
In this chapter let's get our hands dirty with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), structuring our content as we go..
Part 5: Styling our content with CSS
Now we have a solid base of content to build upon, let's learn about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and use it to apply some style and layout to our HTML.
Part 6: Programming fundamentals
At this point, let's look at the programming basics you'll need to know before you can start getting into JavaScript.
Part 7: Adding some behaviour with JavaScript
At this point our site is functional, but what about things that go whoosh? Now we'll give you a brief introduction to JavaScript, using it to apply some dynamic behaviour.
Part 8: Advanced topics
Now you've worked your way through the basics, let's give you some more advanced exercises to do to test your new found skills.
Glossary of terms
Our beginner's glossary provides basic definitions of fundamental web technologies, concepts and other terms you might meet while learning web development.
Where to go from here
If you exhaust the list of articles here and want to learn more skills, head on over to the Web Platform Docs main page and find some other articles of interest!

According to quality consultant Armand V. Feigenbaum, the end user best defines quality, which means that quality is open to subjective interpretations. Consumer perceptions have to be changed if a company wants to change a product's quality image. Extended service programs and improved warranties can help accomplish this feat. As examples, Whirlpool Corporation promises that parts for all models will be available for 15 years, and Mercedes‐Benz provides technical roadside assistance after service hours.
Another means of ensuring a commitment to quality "after the sale" is via a product or service guarantee. Wal‐Mart is known for its no‐hassles return policy for any product—with or without a receipt. Mail‐order house L. L. Bean will replace a pair of hunting boots purchased ten years earlier with new boots. Saturn automobile retailers provide total refunds for vehicles within 30 days if the customer is not fully satisfied. However, many companies are not willing to incur the short‐run costs associated with such guarantees.
Commitment throughout the organization
To be effective, the TQM philosophy must begin at the top. From the board of directors to the hourly line employees, TQM must be supported at all levels if the firm is to realize any real improvements in quality. In addition to commitment from the top, the organization must meet these requirements if TQM is to succeed:
Typically, two to ten years are needed to reap the benefits of a successful TQM program.

Paul Pierce Calls Nets 'Soft' In Game 2
News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
A frustrated Paul Pierce felt the Brooklyn Nets were "a soft team" on defense and in the paint during a 100-95 Game 2 loss at Toronto.
But Kevin Garnett believes there will be nothing soft about the Brooklyn home crowd when the Nets return to Barclays for Games 3 and 4 of this best-of-seven series.
"We know it's going to be a rowdy environment, like it should be," Garnett said. "I don't know if you can say 'F Brooklyn' and then come into Brooklyn. So we're about to see what it's like."

Foot surgery brings season to an end for Gloucestershire fast bowler James Fuller
Posted: September 03, 2014|
GLOUCESTERSHIRE fast bowler James Fuller has called time on his season after finally succumbing to long-term injury.
The New Zealander is to have surgery on the foot injury that has sidelined him since June in the hope of being ready to play again at the start of the 2015 county campaign.
Under treatment for a stress reaction since the end of May, the pace bowler will not risk playing again this year.
Gloucestershire director of cricket John Bracewell said: "James hurt his foot again in a recent second XI game. We needed to test it out to see if it was getting better so we could make a decision on whether an operation was necessary.
"We will now get that done and dusted so that James has the winter to recover and will, hopefully, be fully fit by the beginning of next season."
Fuller, pictured, had taken 18 wickets in six LV= County Championship games this summer when injury struck, including 6-47 against Surrey at The Oval.
Bracewell added: "It was particularly unfortunate because he was showing every indication of having a good season,
"While the injury is termed a stress reaction, it might as well have been a stress fracture because the symptoms are so similar and the recovery period just as long."
Matt Taylor, meanwhile, continues his comeback after injury in a strong Gloucestershire team for the second XI match against Warwickshire, starting at Downend Cricket Club, Bristol, tomorrow.
The young left-arm seamer, who recently recovered from shin splints, is hoping to bowl himself into contention for the penultimate LV= County Championship match of the season against Leicestershire at the Bristol County Ground next week.

Space-mecha-combat-sim Strike Suit Zero released a mere 3 months ago, but we already have a spin-off releasing this very day. Strike Suit Infinite is a high-score chaser based on the original Strike Suit, having more difficult and pro-player focused levels for those that wanted more out of the original game.
The game will be released later today on Steam (it does not have a store-page yet). The game will not feature a story-driven mode like Zero before it, due to it's High Score focused nature. But if you're into fast-paced space-combat with giant flying robots, perhaps you want to check it out.

Are Yoga Poses Ancient History?
LA Yoga Magazine and Manduka Ambassador Jill Miller invite you to an empowering and educational evening with Yogic Scholar Mark Singleton.
It's often said that yoga is a 5000 year old tradition from India. But what about the practices we do today? Is there really a direct link to the ancient past, or is the story more complicated? Today yoga is virtually synonymous in the West with the practice of āsana. What can we learn from the modern
history of āsana? And what does it mean for our practice today? Come along and find out what the debate is all about.

I am a health care provider in Rockdale County. One of my patient groups is children with developmental delays. Treatment is paid for by Georgia Medicaid. A few years ago, the state had the brilliant idea of transferring the management of Medicaid to private insurance companies. They touted greater efficiency and reduced costs. The effect on my practice for this group of patients was dramatic. My administrative costs doubled through needless denials, resubmissions and certification processes. The time to get paid increased from a week to several months. My bad debt write-offs quadrupled. The money per unit of treatment, when it is eventually paid, was squeezed to 75 percent of what it was under the government run Medicaid. Basically, the cost of providing care went up while the reimbursement for the service went down. I was left with three choices to ensure the survival of my practice.

The late Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, a political leader of surpassing eloquence, once introduced John F. Kennedy, the man who defeated him for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination, this way: "Do you remember that in classical times when Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, 'How well he spoke,' but when Demosthenes had finished speaking, they said, 'Let us march'?"

BOISE, Idaho - The Broncos put on quite a show for Bronco Nation during Boise State football's spring scrimmage, as the defense beat out the offense, 30-28, during an overtime play Saturday afternoon.
Freshman Joe Southwick led the way for the Broncos offensively as he connected with freshman wide receiver Aaron Burks on a 48-yard pass with three-minutes to play, followed by a successful two-point conversion to tie the game at 25 points each. Southwick finished the day completing 10-of-15 for 191 yards.
Once the game was tied at 25, the defense recorded one point on a 3-and-out, followed by two more points with a sack by Jarrel Root, putting the defense up 28-25 with 33 seconds to play. The offense then marched down the field and scored a 41-yard field goal by Trevor Harman to tie the game at 28 point apiece with seven seconds left, sending the game into overtime.
In the final play of the game, the offense failed to capitalize on a two-point conversion, giving the defense two points, giving them the win.
Defensively, J.C. Percy recorded a team-high five tackles, including a tackle for a loss, followed by Byron Hout with four tackles and two tackles for a loss. However, scoring the most points for the defense was Root, as he recorded three sacks for 31 yards to combine for six points.
Earlier in the game, Mitch Burroughs ran for 24-yards to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Burroughs led the offense on the ground as he tallied a total of 46 yards on three carries, to average 15.6 yards per carry.
Burks was the leading received for the game, with five receptions for 119 yards and scoring the only receiving touchdown of the game. Also proving to be a threat for the Boise State offense was Geraldo Hiwat, who registered 60 yards on three receptions.
Standing out among the Bronco defense was Ebo Makinde, who registered three tackles and an interception, and Khayree Marshall with three tackles and half a sack.
The game put the offense up against the Boise State defense with a point system set in place by the Bronco coaching staff prior to the scrimmage. The offense scoring was traditional of a regular game, while the defensive scoring system was set up as follows:
3-and-out 1 point
Sack 2 points
Interception 4 points
Turnover 4 points
4th down Stop 4 points

The Koch Boys Are Everywhere.
Charles and David Koch, billionaire brothers who inherited an oil empire from their father, Fred, have had an immense impact on the nation's political landscape. The Koch brothers have for years been spreading their wealth around promoting what they believe capitalism should look like. They try to do so in secret, always, but as the internet has expanded more and more of their efforts have been revealed.
The exposure is starting to bite. Most recently the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which bills itself as a non partisan organization but is anything but, has come under fire. Financially supported by large corporations and the Koch brothers, ALEC got some unwanted exposure from the Trayvon Martin murder in Florida last month. Apparently ALEC turned Florida's Castle Doctrine into model legislation that was shipped to political allies throughout the country's state legislators. The doctrine allows the use of deadly force in a public place if someone "believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm," and removes the duty to flee a confrontation.
From a Bloomberg Businessweek article pointing out McDonalds, Coca Cola and Intuit have dropped their support of ALEC:
The American Legislative Exchange Council describes itself as a nonpartisan champion of free markets. But if you spend some time at an ALEC conference (Bloomberg Businessweek did, for an article last year) you will be hard-pressed to find many Democrats. And when the entire conference meets for lunch, you will hear from the podium nothing that would seem out of place in a press release from Eric Cantor's office. Last year in New Orleans, for example, Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisana, told an ALEC annual meeting, "Defeating the president is crucial to defending our economy," and "Obama has been a disaster." I didn't hear anyone boo. What I did hear was the sound of fevered applause when the conference played a videotaped greeting from Ronald Reagan.
I'm not saying it's wrong to feverishly applaud Ronald Reagan. I am saying that only in the most thinly defensible, legalistic sense can ALEC call itself "nonpartisan." And the council doesn't really support free markets, either. It supports the companies that fund it. This is an important distinction, because the corporations that donate to ALEC aren't doing so to protect markets. They're protecting favored tax treatments and pushing regulations that lock in their market positions. As best as we were able to determine in reporting our piece last year, corporations propose bills at the state level and then push them up to ALEC, which has both corporate and legislative members. ALEC pushes the legislative members to the foreground, stamps the bills as "model legislation," and then the corporations push them back out to other state legislatures. This may not be the case with all ALEC legislation, but it certainly was with the bill we followed.
So ALEC is not what it says it is. That's not extraordinary: Few advocacy groups are what they say they are. In ALEC's case, however, the fingers-crossed-behind-its-back description of itself is definitional. If the American Legislative Exchange Council operated with complete openness, it couldn't operate at all. ALEC has attracted a wide and wealthy range of supporters precisely because it does its real work in a black box. Membership lists are secret. The origins of the model bills are secret. Deliberations and votes on model bills are secret. The model bills themselves are secret. The council has designed its entire structure to disguise industry-backed legislation as grassroots work from state legislators. If this becomes clear to everyone, there's no reason for corporations to use it. And that is exactly what has been happening.
The Kochs have been actively funding a number of well known 'conservative' fronts in addition to ALEC. From an article in the Nation magazine:
The Kochs' mistrust of public education can be traced to their father, Fred, who ranted and raved that the National Education Association was a communist group and public-school books were filled with "communist propaganda," paranoia that extended to all unions, President Eisenhower and the "pro-communist" Supreme Court. Such redbaiting might be ancient history if fifty years later David were not calling President Obama a "hard-core socialist" who is "scary."
The Kochs have not just multiplied the wealth of their dad; they've repackaged and amplified his worldview. David's latest venture, Americans for Prosperity, subsidizes the Tea Party movement, which repeats this "socialist" smear. Charles is a member of the exclusive Mount Pelerin Society, inspired by Frederic von Hayek's antisocialist polemic The Road to Serfdom. Through the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, the Institute for Humane Studies administers the Hayek Fund for Scholars and sister programs to fund academics and staffers for like-minded groups across the country. "Charles G. Koch Fellows" and interns stock ALEC, and have gone on to direct ALEC task forces.
Another David Koch project, Citizens for a Sound Economy—which launched the effort to repeal Glass-Steagall protections keeping banks from gambling in securities—helped fuel the fight for "free trade," an unpopular policy in the 1980s. The North American Free Trade Agreement passed with help from CSE and its corporate allies. ALEC resolutions for state legislators have long supported such trade agreements in the face of local concerns about job losses, and today the Koch free-market fantasy is reflected in ALEC's support for free trade pacts with Korea, Georgia, Colombia and other countries. On just about every issue taken on by Koch's CSE, ALEC has provided legislative tools to carry them through to state legislatures, from privatizing "federal and state services and assets," as CSE put it, to blocking common-sense caps on unlimited credit card interest rates.
Beezer here. The Koch influence is being felt throughout the nation's state legislatures and in Congress. What not long ago would be considered radical is becoming more mainstream, particularly in the GOP. This is a concerted, organized and extremely well funded organization with many different names, none of which give an honest representation of their true goals and all of which operate in secrecy. We've described efforts by the Kochs, and others, as the propaganda arm of a very real 'fifth column' in America. These folks are not capitalists, and they don't really believe in free markets or democracy. They are wealthy and powerful and all these efforts are made to consolidate that power. One can only hope the public eventually becomes aware of what's going on and then votes against these forces.

Former presidential candidate and human rights lawyer, Khaled Ali, criticized the lack of transparency in the negotiations of reconciliation between the Egyptian government and businessmen accused of corruption and graft.
In an interview with Aswat Masriya, Khaled Ali said that the so called reconciliation is in fact a whitewash.
"Reconciliations should take place in complete transparency," he said commenting on the government's plan to accept half the amount of the smuggled money that some businessmen are being tried for in exchange for dropping the charges, "This is not reconciliation...this is a cover up for corruption, thus it is corrupt."
Government officials and the ruling Muslim Brotherhood have announced negotiations with fugitive convicted businessmen and former officials in the era of the ouster president Hosni Mubarak to settle corruption charges for an undetermined sum of money.
The government claims that such reconciliations are essential to reassure businessmen on the investment atmosphere in Egypt.
Egypt's economy has suffered a collapse since the toppling of Mubarak two years ago.
Ali criticized a legal amendment approved by the government lat week, by virtue of which the reconciliation with the fugitive businessmen is a possibility. He said that this step is a message from the Muslim Brotherhood to the west that their government is part of the neoliberal policies.
He added that it also sends a message to the international community that corruption is still ongoing in Egypt, saying, "Corrupt regimes only bring about corrupt businessmen."
The former presidential candidate said the Brotherhood's policies are a reproduction of the policies of the ousted regime, violating the right of citizens to knowledge.
Ali said that the courts have annulled many of the privatization contracts signed prior to the uprising, explaining that the property of three companies is back to the public sector.
"Our role as citizens and humanists is to confront the corruption that occurred in the privatization process," Ali said
Commenting on the government's reluctance to re-run the companies restored to the public sector, he said, "It only reveals the government's bias against the public sector."
Ali considers the government's insistence upon receiving a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is but walking in the same path as Mubarak's regime.
He has filed a lawsuit to demand that the government announce the details of the IMF agreement.
The human rights lawyer said President Mohamed Mursi does not offer any new solutions to Egypt's economic problems.
He added that the assaults and accusations that the workers in Alexandria are subjected to sheds the light on the government's bias towards the interest of businessmen.
The security forces have dispersed by force a workers sit-in in a factory in Alexandria and detained dozens of workers, accusing them of holding hostages.
The police have also arrested workers for holding a strike in another factory in Alexandria.
"There is a message to the working class in the most recent attack on the workers in Alexandria; either you accept being used and violence or you are faced with prison and defamation," Khaled Ali said.

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Giving Priority to Ideology
| Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- It is the truth of history that if one takes hold on ideology, he is sure to win, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in an article.
It goes on:
Ideology is the life and soul of socialism.
Powerful military and economic potentials are too incompetent to defend the gains of revolution won by blood if the ideological position is disintegrated.
This is evidenced by the historic lesson of socialist construction.
In the past some socialist countries failed to pay due attention to the ideological work to educate popular masses. They leaned only on economic construction.
As the people in those countries had no worries and led a stable life, their revolutionary enthusiasm was gradually dampened and tried to lead an easy life. They did not want to devote themselves to socialism but started to have illusions about capitalism. In the long run, they betrayed socialism, taken in by the false propaganda of the imperialists and reactionaries. As a result, economic construction fell into stagnation in these countries and finally socialism collapsed and capitalism was restored.
The national defense capabilities described as the most powerful in the world were demolished overnight. Soldiers became blind, unaware of their mission. The army that was disarmed ideologically did not prevent the socialist system from collapsing.
There is nothing impossible in the world if the mental power is enlisted by dint of ideology. This is proved by the practical experience of the Korean revolution which has won victories by dint of ideology.

Farm in Brief 4/17Board denies request for cattle exemptions BISMARCK — The North Dakota State Board of Animal Health has turned down a request to allow Canadian cattle to enter the state without testing.
Board denies request for cattle exemptions
BISMARCK — The North Dakota State Board of Animal Health has turned down a request to allow Canadian cattle to enter the state without testing.
Meeting Thursday in Bismarck, the board voted unanimously to deny a request by Korbyn Kost of Carrington, to exempt cattle he wants to import from Canada from the state's tuberculosis and brucellosis testing and brucellosis vaccination requirements.
Kost operates a feedlot near Carrington.
Shawn Schafer, Turtle Lake, who represents the non-traditional livestock industry on the nine-member board, moved to deny the request. Melvin Leland, Sydney, Mont., who represents purebred cattle, seconded the motion.
ND tribes getting help with food aid
BISMARCK (AP) — American Indian tribes in North Dakota are getting some of the $4.5 million in federal stimulus money being awarded nationwide to boost food assistance to low-income families on and near reservations.
The Agriculture Department says the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is getting $350,000 and the Spirit Lake Sioux about $6,000.
The money is for the purchase of equipment and the improvement of facilities needed to provide food aid to needy families on and near the reservations.

Major progress has been made in Africa's fight against HIV/AIDS but one of the major problems remaining is giving the thousands living with AIDS the drug therapies that can let them life a long life.
"In terms of the reality, unfortunately the reality is that while there's been huge progress made in the fight against AIDS, there still remains a huge amount of more to do," said Dr. Amir Shroufi, deputy medical coordinator for MSF in South Africa.
The international medical aid group Doctors Without Borders, also known by the acronym, MSF, recently launched a series of films entitled "See What We See" on the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The films highlight the reality that the fight against HIV/AIDS is not over -- despite important achievements. The film series features first- hand accounts of patients and doctors in South Africa, Lesotho, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Asian country Myanmar. They describe problems treating HIV in the field, while highlighting innovative tools and strategies that work in combating the disease.
"Every minute a young woman is infected with HIV," said Dr. Shroufi, "and AIDS remains the biggest burden of disease here in South Africa and in many other African countries. And we know that worldwide, it's thought to be the biggest burden of disease among women in the ages of 25 to 44." He takes those numbers from a World Health Organization report.
Shroufi emphasized the huge numbers of people still in need of treatment who don't have access to Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART). , Some countries who have done well in improving access to treatment but others have done poorly in giving access to the drug therapy.
In South Africa, for example, there has been a huge scale-up in the past two years, reaching approximately 2.4 million people.
"It's been a huge achievement. It's not without gaps," Shroufi said. One of the weaknesses in South Africa is the supply chain. "In a lot of places around the country, there have been stock-outs of essential medicine," he said. "But it's a country that's shown a lot of commitment to the fight against HIV."
Congo not making HIV drug therapies available
The Democratic Republic of Congo is highlighted in the film series as one country that is not doing well in providing needed ARTs.
"It was estimated in a paper in 'Science' in 2012, that only about 12 percent of people in need of Anti-Retroviral Therapy actually have access to it. The job of getting the medicine to people who need it, really has not been done in some places," the MSF doctor explained.
In most countries around the world, new HIV infections are going down. However, in other countries new infections are rising, such as in Lesotho.
"Lesotho has one of the highest adult prevalence's anywhere in the world, and we think the new infections in the country, unfortunately, are rising," said Shroufi.
Shroufi said MSF thinks there are a number of community models that can help provide access more effectively than the traditional city hospital.
"For those people to do well, models such as community art groups,... clubs where people living with HIV become experts in the condition (and) work with each other" are a more convenient model. He said community groups help to collect medicine for each other, reducing the amount of time spent going to clinics. Such community models are being adopted increasingly in many countries because they are effective.
"Those kinds of models, we think, are very, very important," said Shroufi.
