The track team hosted the Owen County Gold Medal Meet on Thursday night. Both the girls and the boys came out on top when the night was complete. The two teams bested Grant County, Frankfort and Carroll County.
In the girl's meet, Owen County finished with 118 points. Grant County was second with 59, Frankfort third with 26 and Carroll County fourth with 17. The Lady Rebels finished first in a total of twelve events.
Rebels standout Carson Williams traveled to Louisville Friday night to participate in the 2016 Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic at Freedom Hall.
Williams also played in the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches All-Star Game Saturday at Transylvania University in Lexington. He scored 19 points.
Rebels standout Carson Williams was named the Kentucky team's MVP during Saturday's 25th annual all-star game at Thomas More College, featuring top players from Ohio and other Kentucky schools. Williams scored 18 points during the contest. The Kentucky team fell to Ohio by two points in a 94-92 loss.
It was a spring break trip to the lovely city of Madisonville for the Owen County baseball team. The Rebels enjoyed their stay, winning three of the four games they played.
Last Tuesday, the team had no problems with Webster County as the Rebels dismantled the Trojans 13-0 in five innings. Michael Dunaway picked up the win on the mound allowing just three hits while striking out nine batters. Austin Fitzgerald drove in four runs while Grant Cobb scored three times.
After a tough weekend in Cynthiana the Owen County softball team is getting ready to open up play in the 31st District this week.
The Lady Rebels will get started today as they host Gallatin County. Owen County defeated the Lady Wildcats three times last season. The third win came in the semifinals of the 31st District Tournament. Overall the Lady Rebels were 7-3 against district competition in 2015.
The University of the Cumberlands is enjoying success this season thanks to a pair of Owen County alums.
Their head coach, Brad Shelton, just became the school's all-time winningest coach while senior Stone Osborne is finding success both in the field and at the plate.
The Owen County softball season wrapped up the regular season last week.
The team finished the year with a pair of home games against Grant County and Williamstown. The Lady Rebels would win both of them.
The team hosted Grant County last Monday. Owen County got a complete game on the mound from Megan Wilhoite winning 4-2 over the Lady Braves. Blair Harris knocked in two runs and scored one while Kaitlyn Parker scored one and drove in a run. Baileigh Young also scored a pair of runs in the victory.
The Owen County baseball team has finished the regular season and is ready for the 31st District Tournament and beyond.
The team played their final two regular season home games of the season last week before wrapping up the year on the road on Saturday in Lexington.
Saturday was a good day for the Owen County track teams at the Region 5A Meet in Lexington. The boys finished second overall and the girls finished third overall. Several members of each team qualified for the KHSAA State Track and Field Championships to be held Saturday morning at the University of Kentucky.
The Owen County Rebels and the community celebrated an outstanding season on Thursday night at Floyd Gritton Gymnasium. Part of the festivities included two more members of this year's squad signing national letters of intent to play basketball next season in college.

Linus Torvalds to be made Fellow of the Computer History Museum
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
The Computer History Museum (http://www.computerhistory.org/about/) in Mountain View, California is one of the largest multi-national museums in the world dedicated to the computing industry. Every year they choose technologists and entrepreneurs who have made great contributions to computer science and honor them by admiting them to "The Hall of Fellows". Past Fellows have included Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, Maurice Wilkes, John Backus, Jay Forrester, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and others whose contributions were of stellar calibre.
In 2007 I heard that the nominations were open, and having seen the quality of people who had been selected in the past, I submitted a nomination for one of my favorite programmers, Linus Torvalds. Then with typical "maddog" efficiency, I promptly forgot about it.
Fast forward to May of this year when a very nice lady from the Computer Museum called to tell me that Linus had been accepted for the 2008 awards and would I help them locate him? For a few moments I did not even know what she was talking about. Then a slow chill came over me, and I went back through my files to find the nomination. Oh great! Now all I had to do was convince Linus to accept the award.
This turned out to be easier than I thought because the nice lady told me that the Computer Museum recognized that most of its Fellows did not like giving speeches, so Linus would not have to do that. Great! Secondly, there is an exhibit at the Computer Museum that I though Linus would like to see, that of the Babbage Difference Engine (http://www.computerhistory.org/babbage/). The nice lady told me that Linus "could even crank the engine if he wanted". With both of these incentives, I called Linus to discuss attending the awards dinner, and he agreed.
It is good that Linus and Linux be recognized this way. This is more than just one person receiving this award, in effect it is the entire community. It will inspire other young people to move forward with their projects. Tens of thousands of people will go to the Computer History Museum every year and see the story of Linux told in the Hall of Fellows.
Additionally on the night of October 21st two other Fellows will be inducted: Bob Metcalfe, who led the invention, standardization and commercialization of ETHERNET, and Jean Bartik, who was one of the first programmers on the ENIAC. Since Jean, as a woman, was one of the first programmers, I have deferred to Rikki Kite to Blog about Jean in her "ROSE" Blog.
The night of October 21st will be a special night for me, as I see a friend and a community honored for the work that they have done.
Linus Torvalds in a computer museum...Well, at least he isn't death as most museums celebritys are. It is pity those computer museums aren't yet known to the public. It is the first time I hear of this museum. I only know one in the UK in London and that is not specific computer (the science museum), and one in Germany.
A lot of history in computing is dissapearing fast and needs to be conserved for understanding before the computers take over
It is certainly an ideal opportunity to make some publicity for those museums. That Open Source is recognized by accepting Linus is a bonus for everyone working in this field.
Great!Great that a comunity participant will receive the fellow. Thank you maddog, you are great!

Idle Thoughts, while waiting for New London to find another "doctor," Bob Diaco to stop playing musical quarterbacks and for the Patriots to beat the Giants once in a while:
• Dr. Idle, Dr. I to his close friends, begins with a doozy this week.
Seems a local establishment in Waterford offered a "viewing party" for some parents whose kids were playing in the Babe Ruth World Series. The parents couldn't make the trip. Games were streamed on the Internet. Next best thing. Watch together.
Spies say the party became a festival of parental sniping and broke up early, after some poor Waterford kid made an error.
Don't ever change, Waterford.
Don't ever change.
Turns out Dr. I's pal Jim O'Neill is right again. He said once: "Youth sports exist to keep the parents off the streets."
• So let's see if Dr. I has this right:
The Ice Bucket Challenge raises more than $100 million for ALS Research.
Athletes, celebrities and regular Janes and Joes all participate in one of the most inspiring, inclusive stories ever.
And then the Catholic Church chimes in, discouraging the Ice Bucket Challenge because ALS research "conflicts with church teachings by funding embryonic stem-cell research."
Note to the Catholic Church: When Dr. I wants your opinion, he'll ask.
When people and their families affected by ALS want your opinion, they'll ask.
• News item: Mystic's 13-year-old Babe Ruth baseball team played in a different tournament and never got a chance to play Waterford, which made the World Series.
Hence, this public service announcement for the 06385 zip code from Tom Taber in Mystic.
"Tell those people in Waterford our 13-year-olds would have kicked their (butts)."
Shots fired.
• Congrats to the great Chiney Ogwumike, the WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Love that kid.
• They used to play "Welcome to the Jungle" at Rentschler Field to fire up the crowd when UConn's opponent was facing third down.
This year, they are playing what purports to be a forest animal growling.
Sounds like static.
Or as The Day's Ned Griffen said, "it sounds like (late, great WFAN caller) Doris from Rego Park."
• So how are the Red Sox doing so far this year?
• Tremendous effort by ESPN the other day, digging into Michael Sam's showering habits.
Terribly relevant.
And somewhere, Cronkite weeps.
• If actress Liv Tyler married UConn linebacker Marquise Vann, divorced him for former Dallas Cowboy Leon Lett and then finally settled on former Auburn football coach Pat Dye, that would make her a Paul McCartney and Wings song title.
(Liv Vann Lett Dye).
• Dr. I doesn't get this new UConn football slogan "Rise Up."
It's pretty hard to "Rise Down."
Seems that "Rise" would have been sufficient.
• Kudos to the great Joe D'Ambrosio, UConn's play-by-play voice for two decades now.
Poor Joe D had to navigate the names of Brigham Young on Friday night: Teu Kautai, Sae Tautu, Jherremya Leuta-Douyere, Ului Lapuaho, Bronson Kaufisi.
• Dr. I will weep the day Jeter leaves.
But he's got to stop hitting second.
Either that or change his uniform number to 6-4-3.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Why we love Kneipp
In the 19th century, German priest Sebastian Kneipp began to bathe in cold water to help alleviate his tuberculosis. Finding this helped, he continued research into hydrotherapy, extending his investigation to include the benefits of certain plants to mental and physical wellbeing. In 1890, he began a partnership with pharmacist Leonhard Oberhäußer and together they created therapeutic products to ease a variety of ailments.
We love Kneipp's unique heritage and its dedication, for over a hundred years, to developing effective herbal formulas. The Kneipp philosophy advocates an holistic lifestyle approach, recognising the importance of allowing your mental state to reflect your physical wellbeing.
Why we chose Kneipp
For many of us at Bath & Unwind HQ, taking a bath is the perfect opportunity for some 'me time'. We are sure many of you feel the same, and Kneipp is the perfect brand if you want a more natural alternative to cold and flu remedies, painkillers or sleeping tablets.
Why their products work
From the baths of Ancient Rome to Japanese onsen, the beneficial effects of water have long been recognised. The Kneipp collection is based around products that enhance your bathing experience, turning it from routine to restorative.
Our hero product
In keeping with Kneipp's hydrotherapy heritage, our hero product is the Muscle Soothing Juniper Mineral Bath Salts. These beautifully scented salts allow you to soak away your stresses and strains after a long day in the office or a tough session at the gym.

Skill Level Beginner
Early in this chapter, we spent some time discussing contrast or exposure corrections in Final Cut Pro X. These types of corrections are ones that you'll use all the time, but you know what? It's called color correction after all, and in this movie we'll talk about color correcting the shots, specifically about neutralizing the color cast. And this project contains the clip that has an obvious problem. Well, an obvious problem at least to my eye. This clip appears to be too blue. Let me go ahead and open up the Video Scopes to verify this. I'll do that by pressing Command+7. And here in the Scopes Window let me click into the Settings menu and choose the display to Vectorscope. Then down here on the timeline, let me just make sure that the shot is active.
Here on the Vectorscope I can see most of this trace is pointed out between the cyan and blue targets, indicating that the shot is actually pretty blue. Another way that I can tell that the shot is blue is by clicking here into the Settings menu and choosing to display the Waveform Scope, and then I'll click back into the Settings menu and choose to display the RGB Parade option for the Waveform Scope. And let me just make sure that the shot is selected. The RGB Parade shows you the relative color balance between the red, green, and blue channels, and right now I can see that the blue channel is actually elevated over the green and red channels, indicating that have a blue color cast in the shot. But remember, the Waveform Scope actually mimics the tonal range, from 0 down here or black up to 100% or white.
And I can actually see that the trace is elevated over red and green, but particularly up here in the lighter portions of the image. This is common with poorly white balanced shots, and because this trace is over 100%, it's actually illegal for broadcast, but we'll fix that in just one moment. With the shot active, let's go ahead and use the keyboard shortcut Command+6 to open up the Color Board for the shot. Now prior to making a color correction, it's always a good idea to make a contrast or exposure correction to the shot. So what I want to do is come into the exposure pane right here by clicking on it, but I can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Command+E. And then by using the highlight's exposure control, this guy right here, I'm going to drag down just a touch until my trace is inside a 100% here on the RGB Parade.
All right, that's looking much better. Let me click back over into the Settings menu and then choose the display the Luma option for the Waveform Scope. Using a Luma option, what I want to do is adjust my blacks or shadow exposure, so I am going to select this control right here and then I'm going to use the down arrows do deepen my blacks just a touch. Something like that works. Okay, so for just one moment, let's go ahead and hide the Video Scopes so we can actually see the image at a bigger size. I'll press Command+7 and Command+7 again to hide the scopes, and then let me go over to the color pane, and the way that I'm going to do that is by using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Command+C, C for Color.
Remember, the color pane of the Color Board here is broken down into two sections--a positive section and a negative section. But remember, the negative section is simply adding in color from the opposite side of the color wheel. And a good way to actually visualize that is by taking the look at the color wheel up here. Here is blue, and if I wanted to neutralize that color cast I would actually add in some negative blue or yellow. So what I'm going to do is actually start out with my highlights control, this guy right here. It's not a good idea to make color corrections like this with the global or master controls. You should always use the three controls for the different parts of the tonal range.
So let me select the highlights control, this guy right here, and I want to drag down into negative blue, something like this. Remember, you don't actually have to drag; you can use the left and right arrows as well as the up and down arrows. The left and right arrows will change your selected Hue, something like this works, and then the up-and-down arrows will change the intensity or the saturation of that selected Hue, and then let me go down even a little further. All right, that's working well for me. Then let's go ahead and select the Midtones control, this guy right here, and it'll also drag down into sort of the negative blue section right here.
Again, I'll be little bit more precise by using the controls on the keyboard. All right, I think that's working for me. Actually, let's go a little bit this way. All right, I'm liking that. And then what I'm going to do with the shadows controls is actually go into the positive section. My blacks here don't look quite right to me, so I'm going to select this control and come over here. Something like that. Maybe a little further over to the left. Here we go, and maybe a little bit more saturation. Okay, I'm liking that. Let's go ahead and go back to the main level of the Inspector by clicking this back button right here, and then me toggle this correction on and off.
Here is the original shot that looks quite blue, then here is the corrected shot. That looks much more natural; it looks a whole bunch better. So here is the original shot, and then here is the corrected shot. Let's skim through this shot, and yep, you can see that looks pretty good. Let's go ahead and open up our Video Scopes once again by pressing Command+7. Here in the Settings window, let's go ahead and choose to display the Vectorscope, and then let me select the shot down here in the timeline. Now you can see I have a great deal of trace that's actually pointed over towards the yellow and red targets, actually where it should be because this line right here actually represents skin tone. You can see the skin tone of this actor looks pretty good.
Let me go back into the Settings window here and choose to display the Waveform Scope. Then let's click to display the RGB Parade. Then let me select the shot down here in the timeline. So here on the RGB Parade, the blue trace has been brought way down on the scale, but you'll notice that my red trace has been elevated a little bit. That's actually okay because I like this warmer feel to the shot, but I do have a small problem. I have a bit of trace that's over 100%. So let's go back here to Correction #1 and click to open up the Color Board, and click back into the exposure pane right here, and select or highlight our white exposure control, and then use the down arrows to darken up the highlights just a touch in that shot. Our clip is now legal once again.
Let me hide the scopes, and you can see that we've corrected the shot and it looks pretty good. So that's neutralizing the color cast with the Color Board, and you can see that the process of neutralizing the colorcast is made even easier by using the Video Scopes as a guide.

Michael Jackson's accuser is undergoing tough cross-examination as testimony resumed at the pop star's child molestation trial.
The now-15-year-old cancer patient accuses Jackson of molestation, but Jackson's attorney has been grilling the boy about whether he once told a teacher Jackson never molested him.
On the stand today, the teen said he told a former teacher that Jackson "never did anything to" him.
The defense lawyer also questioned the boy about similarities between a statement he testified Jackson made about masturbation and information he's attributed to his grandmother.
Unlike last week, when Jackson arrived late after complaining of back pain, he arrived on time for Monday's session.

from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
"We expect more from Modano than what he gave us tonight," Stars coach Dave Tippett said. "And without that, it's going to be bad for us."
Modano has one goal in his last 20 games. He was minus-3 against the Canadiens in 20:45 of ice time.
"Tonight was a mental thing," Modano said. "You could tell the head wasn't there, and your body's not too far behind without focus or concentration. There are nights when it's a struggle and that's what you deal with. When your body isn't feeling good and you're not feeling light, things all add up to missed passes and the little things as far as trying to make those plays."

Loved the colour & quality of this BUT I am a standard size 12 & therefore ordered a medium. When it arrived, I could only just fasten it & the sleeves are very short. I would say order at least one size bigger than you would normally. It has to go back - Disappointing :(

This has been a great hoodie and would not hesitate to purchase again in the future. It washes well and holds it shape. Only problem was the sizing.

Business, Management, and Entrepreneurship
Learn how to create and manage innovative enterprises that bring about social change. Develop leadership skills. Start your own business. Gain a practical foundation in accounting, finance, marketing, and the other disciplines needed to operate in business and the larger world.
Studying business at Evergreen gives you the tools to understand the relationship between business and society. Our programs cultivate a holistic understanding of the business world, taking into account social and environmental performance—along with financial returns—to measure the full impact.
You will develop the skills that characterize the far-thinking and effective organizational leader and manager.
In addition to learning the fundamentals of accounting, finance, marketing, economics, and statistics, students acquire the ability to read, comprehend, and interpret the internal and external flow of events impacting an organization. You will develop your skills in critical reasoning, communication, research, and strategic planning—skills that characterize the far-thinking and effective organizational leader and manager. A key focus here is on developing people skills and responsiveness to an organization's stakeholders. Our courses in business and entrepreneurship are offered as full-time programs during the day and part-time programs during evenings and weekends.
Join us in an education that doesn't just change your life — it gives you the tools to change the world.
Sample Program
Business: Innovation, Stewardship, and Change
Offered Fall 2014–Winter 2015
What's next for business? Pure profit-oriented approaches to business may fail socially, ethically, and economically. Change is a constant in business. The roles we are asked to play in organizations can and do vary. The desire to innovate drives the entrepreneurial spirit, whether to make money, underwrite a particular lifestyle, do good, and/or create jobs. The managerial role, in contrast, demands acting in the best interests of the organization and its stakeholders and serving as a responsible steward. With multiple roles to juggle, how is it possible to find the proper balance, if any, among them? Students will find answers by participating in field trips, seminars, and workshops, listening to guest speakers, watching films, and attending lectures.
This program is designed for students who want to build a strong foundation in business. We will take an introductory look at the disciplines of accounting, finance, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, and economics. Students should also leave the program with a deeper appreciation of emerging issues at the intersection between business and society.
View this program in the catalog.

I have a html/css static website that all I want to do is have the wordpress content appear on the page. I do not want iframe or convert to a wordpress site. I would think that this would be a fairly simple process but I haven't found it yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction for help.

Human disease often results from a complex interplay among human genetic factors, human-pathogen interactions, and environmental stimuli. It is therefore one of the goals of our group to better understand the mechanisms of human disease by investigating the relationships among these factors through the generation and analysis of host-pathogen-environmental networks. These networks take into account the genomic background of an individual and associated pathogens, as well as cellular interactions including protein-protein interactions, gene-disease relationships, chemical-gene relationships, chemical-disease relationships, and other. Together we hope that this type of network analysis will shed light on the molecular mediators of human disease, and provide clues to better understand and combat various diseases.
In collaboration with Nick Walter (National Jewish Health) and Charles Daley, MD, (National Jewish Health), we will be examining the gene expression profiles of humans with varying degrees of tuberculosis disease and other respiratory diseases. We will also be examining the gene expression profiles of M. tuberculosis isolated from these same individuals with the goal of identifying host and pathogen gene signatures of disease, as well as to identify important pathways involved in disease, disease progression, and disease response.
Together with Morten Sommer, PhD, (Technical University of Denmark) we will be sequencing the complete genomes of select M. tuberculosis isolates from the National Jewish Health repository. Particularly those that are resistant to first and second line antibiotics. We will combine the characterization and analysis at the phenotypic and genotypic levels to identify novel mechanisms of drug resistance, as well as to aid in the determination of more effective therapeutic regiments.
We also have an ongoing collaboration with Megan Murray, MD, DPH (Harvard School of Public Health) and members of the Broad Institute, examining the mechanisms of drug resistance in MDR and XDR M. tuberculosis isolates using a combination of genome sequencing, structural modeling and analysis, and literature mining. This strategy has important implications ranging from the design and discovery of novel inhibitors to the design of comprehensive gene-based diagnostics.
We are also very interested in utilizing the tools of structural biology and structural informatics to garner a better understanding of the impact of genomic polymorphisms among humans and human pathogens.
The discoveries made in the laboratories at National Jewish Health have a profound impact on the understanding and treatment of human disease.

Hi all I'm trying to figure out this whole FF thing, I've been BFing but am slowly drying up, so I'm switching over to formula. How do you do the night time feeds? Can you prep formula bottles in the evening, so when LO wakes up you can just go grab one in the fridge and heat it up quick? Or is that not good to do- do you have to mix a bottle right then when LO wakes up? I don't know about storing formula.... It was so easy in the middle of the night before, I could just whip out my boob half asleep LOL. Now I'm not looking forward to actually having to wake up to get to the kitchen! What's the easiest way to do this with the least amount of disruption at night?
new to FF- how to you prep bottles for night?
Me (34), DH (36), & DS (2/8/12) Angel 7/20/13 Rainbow boy born 5/16/14
I premake them and toss em in the microwave quickly. BUT I know some people don't want to use the microwave so you can have some room temperature water in the bottle waiting and just mix in formula when she wakes.. but I find it gets chunky that way.
As for storage, you can premake formula and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It is good out of the fridge for one hour. Once your LO starts to drink it, it either needs to be eaten or tossed out within an hour, as well. Bacteria start to form after that and can make your LO sick.
Yes, I know it sounds horribly embarrassing and undignified, but no one ever said parenting would be like having tea at Buckingham Palace.
Ok so I'm assuming the people with the bottles already filled with water are just keeping the bottles w/ the water wherever LO sleeps and they get room temp formula? Right now LO takes the formula heated up in the microwave so not sure if he'd go for that but I'll try. Also very stupid question but can you just shake the formula in the bottle, or should you shake it in a separate container then transfer to the bottle? If you shake in the bottle don't the clumps of formula get stuck along the inside and in the nipple?
Me (34), DH (36), & DS (2/8/12) Angel 7/20/13 Rainbow boy born 5/16/14
Do not heat bottles in the microwave as this can create hotspots, even if you are just taking the chill off- it can create hotspots. A better way would be to run some warm water and put the bottle in to warm up for a few mintutes.
I put water in the bottle and put the cap on it, leave it out and then at night when he wants to eat- I mix it quickly because that takes less time than warming it in water. Doesn't matter how you mix it- and if you shake it welll enough, it won't clump etc on the inside.

Yes, I know it sounds horribly embarrassing and undignified, but no one ever said parenting would be like having tea at Buckingham Palace.
my lo drinks them room temp so we have formula dispensers(walmart for $3) so we fill bottles with water the night before then if she wakes up just dump in the formula and good to go, in my opinion if you can get your baby to drink it room temp it makes it alot easier/convenient!

A one-shot drop
Matt Emmons was one shot away from his second gold medal of the Athens Games. After a so-so qualification round in the 3-prone event, Emmons exploded out of the gate in the 10-shot finals. By the ninth shot, Emmons enjoyed a three-point lead over his competition -- in an event like rifle shooting, which measures tenths of a point in the final, Emmons could have had a horrible shot by Olympic standards and still won gold. "All I had to do, for me anyway, was just hit the target -- hit the target -- and you win," Emmons said. So, he shot, and the wrong kind of history was made. He aimed and shot at the wrong target and recorded a zero by the rules. Emmons finished eighth.
Good story, great sport
Obviously, it was a story that the media ate up; not many lose a gold medal in one breath. But Emmons' reaction to the event was not what one might expect. He actually went over and hugged teammate Michael Anti once he found out Anti had moved into the silver spot. And his interaction with the judge who delivered the bad news is just as memorable as the event itself: "I didn't realize this until a year later, but that juryman who came up and told me what happened -- he came up to me at a World Cup (event) and said to me, 'Do you remember what your first words to me were after I told you what happened?' I said, 'I don't remember.' He said, 'You looked at me and said that will make a hell of a story.'" As for if the day still eats at him? "It was a really big story -- this guy who gave away a gold medal," he said. "But whatever, I had a good performance. I was happy."
A golden lining
After the loss, Emmons, good attitude and all, went to a beer garden near the range. Before he knew it, he had a visitor in Katerina Kurkova, an Athens silver medalist in air rifle for the Czech Republic. "I looked up, and it was one of those, 'Oh my god, she's talking to me,' (moments)," Matt said of meeting Katy for the first time. Before they knew it, the two were hitting it off, and after a couple years of working out certain items, they were married in the summer of 2007.
Back to business in Beijing
A newlywed he may be, but Matt is back to defend his prone rifle crown at these Games -- and possibly claim the title he missed out on. He has already received qualification berths in each and just missed out on qualifying for a third event, air rifle, at March's U.S. Olympic Air Gun Trials. At the "Good Luck Beijing" Olympic test event, Emmons -- who told the Xinhua News Agency that "I won't show my best here. It was just a test event for experience and ... just a world cup medal. It doesn't mean anything" -- still earned a silver medal in the 10m air rifle competition.
A little backwards
It was said that he was using this competition as just practice, but it is comical to some degree that Emmons finished the test event with one medal in an event he won't compete in at the Olympics and earned just a fourth-place finish in the men's rifle 3-positions while not even qualifying for the final in rifle prone competition. Go figure.
Perfection follows him
Not only does Emmons have a gold medal under his belt, but he's also one of the few people in this world to have pitched a perfect game in baseball. Emmons' achievement came for his high school baseball team in Pemberton, N.J.
All Olympic merchandise is marked down. Act now, because when it's gone…it's gone!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Certain Weight Won't Play a Role
By Keith Idec
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is certain weight won't be an issue Saturday night.
Miguel Cotto might be completely comfortable at 154 pounds, but Mayweather is confident his speed and skill advantages will negate any perceived disadvantage he'll face by moving up from welterweight to junior middleweight to encounter Cotto.
"I think with me it really don't play a major factor," Mayweather said. "But with some fighters it do play a major factor, because some guys can push certain guys around. But you know me, I think my skills are on a different level from any other fighter, so when it's all said and done skills pays the bills. You got certain guys that it all depends on what style of boxing, what style of fighting a guy is doing when you move up to a different weight class.
"I'm a guy that doesn't believe in really taking any punishment — I believe in dishing it out. I'm very, very offensive-minded. I'm an offensive-minded fighter, of course, because that's what the pay-per-view fans want. But I have been a defensive fighter, because if I wasn't a defensive fighter I wouldn't have lasted this long in the sport of boxing. And I don't really think weight is going to really play a major key. I think it's going to come down to the skills."
The 35-year-old Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) won his only other fight at 154 pounds five years ago, when the Grand Rapids, Mich., native out-boxed Oscar De La Hoya en route to a 12-round, split-decision victory in Las Vegas. Mayweather weighed in at 150 pounds for that May 2007 showdown, four pounds lighter than De La Hoya. The undefeated five-division champion expects to weigh about 150 pounds again for the Cotto fight.
The 31-year-old Cotto (37-2, 30 KOs) weighed in at 152½ pounds for his Dec. 3 rematch against Antonio Margarito at Madison Square Garden. Puerto Rico's Cotto considers any weight advantage he might have Saturday night "an asset," and the WBA super welterweight champion appreciates Mayweather's willingness to move up in weight to make their fight a reality.
"I give thanks to him for making the fight [at] my weight," Cotto said. "If he wants my title, he has to fight in my weight, and he does it in the correct way. It's my weight class. I feel comfortable in here. I'm feeling pretty strong, really happy to get this fight in my weight class, and I just prepared myself well enough for victory."
Keith Idec covers boxing for The Record and Herald News, of Woodland Park, N.J., and BoxingScene.com.

Rynes graduated from the University of Washington in 2010 with a B.A. in international studies focusing on nonproliferation and arms control. After graduation she spent a summer as a Next Generation Safeguards Initiative intern at Idaho National Laboratory and was subsequently hired as a policy specialist for the lab. In 2012 she spent four months on rotation in the State Department's Office of Nuclear Energy, Safety and Security, where she worked on an array of nuclear energy related issues. She is currently pursuing a master's degree from the University of Chicago's Committee on International Relations and plans to return to Idaho National Laboratory upon graduation.
If the United States wants North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program, covert communications are likely to be more successful than public pressure.

First of all, thanks for sharing this great plugin.
However, I have little problem with the display of taxonomy terms in "Add media" window sidebar.
When used with default "Category" taxonomy it works perfectly fine. However I needed a custom taxonomy, so I registered one and used your mc_filter_taxonomy function to replace default taxonomy with a new one.
Now the plugin displays correct taxonomy but in a distorted way. You can see the result in this screenshot.
I'm just curious if it's a known problem and if it can be fixed with some kind of quick CSS tweak.

The Last 30 Landline Phones in North America
Landline telephones may be going the way of the Dodo bird, but in one small, tradition-steeped corner of North America, they may last forever.
The New York Times wrote this weekend about the phenomenon of the dugout phone in professional baseball — the last bastion of the landline, perhaps.
For those of you who were more likely to watch "Two and Half Men" last night instead of the World Series, baseball managers use a corded telephone in a little box to communicate with their pitchers in the bullpen on the other side of the stadium. (For those of you who need an explanation for a corded telephone, ask a grownup.)
The phones, according to the New York Times, are manufactured by Avaya, the private-equity owned telecom company that is slated to go public again. During the baseball playoffs, the Times asked St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa whether the dugout phones needed to be improved. LaRussa's priceless answer: "Do you work for AT&T?"
We missed this story until our Dow Jones VentureWire colleague Scott Austin mentioned it on Twitter today. The dugout phone, however, featured prominently in last night's 4-2 win by the Texas Rangers in game five of the World Series.
LaRussa's Cardinals lost, and the manager later blamed a string of controversial strategic decisions on a coach in the bullpen mishearing him over the dugout phone.

Hi Stephen,
One more question about following setting: 'Group occurrences: If selected only one occurrence of an event will be displayed on event lists and archives (this can be over-ridden by shortcode attributes and widget options).'
I have the same events for the same days of the week uptil, lets say, december. So i made them for each day re-occuring weekly.
But i do get a whole list until December. So i thought when i check the 're-occurence' function it will only show five events (for each day of the week).
Any thoughts on why this is not working?

Email from me to Adminder.com (email@example.com):
Some from Adminder charged 89.00 dollars from my bank account. I don't have an account with you. Somone did mention to get a hold of my bank information and I am wondering they use my bank acoount information. Is there a number I can reach anyone?
From Adminder.com:
Actually, we already pin-pointed that order as possible fraud and have put the order on hold. We will VOID that order - meaning it will never appear on your credit card.
You will want to contact your credit card company and make them aware of this and immediately cancel that cad number and have them issue you a new card.
I can tell you that the website being used was thevillagejewelers.com if you want to try to pursue this in other ways.

Although we have not received a statement form them yet, we did get 2 temporary payment stubs, after the first due date of July 1st. We only had a postcard notifying us they were our new loan company....
When the coupons were received, I called and asked if the terms were still the same where we had from the 1st to the 16th of the month to pay without a late fee... I was assured it was so and that because I had yet not received a payment book or monthly statement for the first 3 months of our loan with them there would be no late payment fees or penalties even if we did pay late... I even wrote the person's name down....
All of a sudden this month, as of the 3rd we have been getting nasty calls accusing us of being late on our August payment. When I told the rep what the representative told me in July, she practically called me a liar and said there was no such note on file... Impossible!!! In any case I told her I had time till the 16th... She said, "That is on Saturday"... and so it is!!! I replied... I told her I was the customer and not to interrupt and that I wanted to know if they had purchased my mortgage form my lender... After just saying "Yes"... She told me as I did not allow her to speak then she had nothing to say and hung up on me....
I am always careful to get names and times, this time she caught me by surprise... I was shocked at her attitude and how rude the woman was...
This morning I already got from them an offer of FORECLOSURE MITIGATION.... They are suggesting we go to a local seminar they are holding at one of our Universities next Saturday.... My loan was not even past due!!!!!
I fail to comprehend why my lender would have sold to them.... It scares you to even call them because their on hold message automatically says "WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR"...
Who are these people???????

Hi guys,
Very easy question...
Based on this screenshot:
How do I remove the padding around the image slideshow plug in? Above and either side are most important to me but knowing how to eradicate all would be useful.
I was hoping of some padding section in the body area of the code where you specify four numbers representing each side of the body padding. Have yet to find this though.
So you know, yes I am working in a child theme and so far my style.css code looks like this:
@charset "UTF-8";
Theme Name: TwentyEleven Child
Desciption: Child Theme for the Twenty Eleven Theme
Author: Douglas Fayers
Template: twentyeleven
@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");
body {
padding: 0 0;
#page {
margin: 0;
max-width: 2000px;
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

I had an excellent holiday. I have not been on a guided and supported cycling holiday before and the service offered went above and beyond what I expected. It made the trip a challenge but hugely rewarding.
My favourite day was doing the big climb up col de sampayere even though I complained about the climb all the way up!! The support and encouragement from the guides was immense and Diego's picnic at the top of the climb made it such a special occasion to spend time up there. He really spoiled us.
It was excellent service. The team work so hard to give us an enjoyable holiday and it really felt like they were on holiday with us too, having fun cycling and eating etc. It made it relaxed and really enjoyable.

Honister administrators sell commissions to corporate IFA
The administrators of failed IFA network Honister Capital, have informed the firm's former advisers that the rights to their recurring revenue streams have been sold to corporate IFA MacRobins Ltd.
In a move likely to provoke fury among former appointed representatives of Honister's various network brands - Burns Anderson, Honister Partners and Sage Financial - advisers have also been told that in order to novate their commission to a new agency, they will need to pay a pecentage of income accrued over the past 12 months as an upfront fee.
In a letter to all appointed representatives, sent out today (1 August), the administrators from Grant Thornton state that Burns Anderson Ltd advisers will have to pay 53 per cent of commission income earned over the 12 months to 30 June 2012. Sage Financial and Honister Partners advisers will have to pay 20 per cent and 3 per cent respectively.
Nigel Morrison, joint administrator, says in the letter that commission income is "legally owned by the group subsidiary under which they were authorised to provide advice to clients".
Mr Morrison adds that that, in order to fulfil their obligation to achieve the best outcome for all creditors, they could not "novate the agency agreements to other authorised entities which the advisers are joining for no value".
He states: "In that scenario only the advisers would benefit from the commissions and it would reduce the dividend non-adviser creditors would have received had we sold the commissions."
If advisers choose not to purchase the rights to the commission, MacRobins Ltd will retain all rights to future commission income.
IFAs have been angered by the retaining by the administrators of their commission income, after client accounts were frozen following Honister's fall into administration last month.
One IFA, John Winful of Winful Associates, an appointed representative of Honister, said that if the accounts are not unfrozen he could 'conservatively' lose 20 per cent of his income.
He added that advisers were told in 2012 after a change in account provider that commission accounts would be ring-fenced.
Mr Winful said: "We were told that Sage trail commission was ring-fenced and it was called the 'members' account'. The name was changed when the bank was changed. A bunch of us queried this but we got an email saying nothing had changed but the name."
The Honister administrators have set a deadline of 31 October 2012 for advisers to accept the offer, pay the required fee and return their documentation. Advisers must also prove they have been re-authorised either directly or through another network by 31 December 2012.

In an effort to satisfy antitrust concerns, the software giant plans to make changes to the desktop search feature in Vista. Microsoft agreed in June to make alterations to the way desktop search operates in response to concerns from Google.
The primary impact of the change is giving Vista users who choose a non-Microsoft option for desktop search more outlets to see those search results, as opposed to the results generated by Vista's built-in desktop search engine.
The changes are coming with the first service pack to Windows Vista. Microsoft is launching a beta version of the update in the next couple of weeks, with a final version expected early next year.
As CNET News.com readers debated the value and origins of desktop search, one reader raised the issue of what would motivate Google to challenge Microsoft on the issue.
"What makes me a little more nervous than Windows knowing the content of files on my system is the fact that an advertising company wants to know the content of our files," wrote one reader to the News.com TalkBack forum.
In other Vista news, sales of boxed copies of the operating system continue to significantly trail those of Windows XP during its early days, according to a soon-to-be-released report. Standalone unit sales of Vista at U.S. retail stores were down 59.7 percent, compared with Windows XP, during each product's first six months on store shelves, according to NPD Group.
Microsoft also agreed that an analysis of boxed-copy sales is not representative of Vista's momentum, noting that the trend of people getting a new operating system with a new PC has further accelerated with Vista.
Meanwhile, Microsoft launched an attack on Google in which it seeks to dissuade businesses from downloading Google Apps. The attack came in a statement the same day that Google signed a deal with Capgemini to promote its office productivity software among businesses.
Capgemini, a global consulting firm, is set to offer desktop support and installation services to large corporations running Google Apps Premier Edition, the premium version of Google's Web-based package. Google Apps includes a word processor, a calendar and mail functions, and it thus is a direct rival to Microsoft Office.
In its statement, Microsoft laid out 10 questions it suggested users should ask when considering Google Apps.
Microsoft also sought to downplay the
A Microsoft representative said, "Windows Update automatically updates itself from time to time, to ensure that it is running the most current technology, so that it can check for updates and notify customers that new updates are available."
iPhone rings up milestone
What a difference a price cut will make. It seems like only yesterday that Apple had sold its first 270,000 iPhones--not a bad tally for just a little bit more than the first day on the market. A little more than two months after the much-lusted-after gadget went on sale,
"One million iPhones in 74 days," Apple CEO Steve Jobs exulted in a press release, just days after he ran into a buzz saw of criticism by cutting the price of the iPhone by $200 so soon after long lines of early adopters plopped down a big chunk of change to be the first on the block with the gadget.

Internal Locus of Control
Internal Locus of Control:
+ add to my flashcards
cite this term
Who controls your behavior? Are you the master of your own domain? Is your life already predetermined and everything that happens is fated? If you believe that you control your own destiny and that your behaviors are under your control, then you have an internal locus of control. This concept has quite a bit of importance when we try to make attributions for our behaviors. For example, if you did well on a test, how would you explain it? If you said that it was because you got lucky or the teacher made an easy test, then you would be exhibiting and "external" locus of control. However, if you attribute your good performance to your hard work, good study habits, and interest in the topic, you would being exhibiting and internal locus of control.
