The public's opinion on Edward Snowden may be split, but security-cleared defense professionals are more united. (Stock image)
While polls show that Americans are divided about whether former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden did the right thing in leaking classified documents that reveal the agency's surveillance capabilities, there is no such ambiguity among members of the defense community.
A survey conducted by ClearanceJobs.com, a large career network for professionals with federal security clearances, said 75 percent of 300 such professionals said Snowden's disclosures have been harmful to national security. Of those 300 surveyed, 40 percent held a Department of Defense secret clearance and 60 percent identified themselves as senior level career professionals with 10 or more years of experience.
Of those surveyed, 70 percent said they didn't believe Snowden's revelations were an act of conscience, and 83 percent said they would not grant him asylum were they in charge of a nation Snowden approached for protection.
Security-cleared professionals were less united when asked if they feel the clearance investigation and adjudication process is flawed. Forty-four percent said no, 26 percent said yes and 30 percent weren't sure.
However, a majority agreed that Snowdens' revelations will likely cause a slowdown in the security clearance process after some recent gains.
"It's important to remember the government focused on speeding up the clearance process in part to stop losing qualified applicants that withdraw due to wait times," said Evan Lesser, managing director of ClearanceJobs.com. "At a time when the government is hurting for qualified cybersecurity professionals, the clearance process is critical. Our cyber talent is mainly in private industry and bringing that talent into government positions is difficult at best."
About two-thirds of respondents also believe the governments will insource more highly sensitive work, and the NSA has already begun that process. On Aug. 9, NSA Director Keith Alexander announced it intends to eliminate about 90 percent of its 1,000 system administrators in favor of advanced technology to automate analytical work. In this case, administrators – often contracted employees like Snowden formerly was – will lose their jobs to in-house machines.

"Contary to popular belief, the public does not always have the right or need to know." That's pretty arrogant, and perhaps that attitude is why we're watching this tragedy unfold in front of us. The "need to know" isn't wrong, but when it's used the way this group is using it, something is wrong, very wrong.
It's not about what is right or wrong about the surveillance but about the breach of security. If Snowden honestly felt this deserved review, there are procedures involved and Congress would have been the place to start. Contary to popular belief, the public does not always have the right or need to know. Congressional oversight is meant to prevent abuse and while I agree that it is like the fox guarding the chicken coop it is a far sight better than nothing at all.
300 people is hardly a significant sample. Of course people that make a living off the the current security theatre would be opposed to an open discussion about what is and isn't proper for the government to do. Sorry, my privacy belongs to ME- not their call to violate it without asking my permission.

Top-flight rodeo competitors were chosen by fans to compete in the first annual Rodeo All Stars event at the National Western Complex (April 5-6, 2013). The tournament-style format called for three performances (semi-finals on Friday and Saturday plus a championship on Saturday night) to decide who would take home large portions of the $140,000 total purse. But the competition didn't stop there. Immediately after the rodeo's final round Saturday night, the top two finishers in each event turned right around and competed head-to-head for the title and the potential to add $5,000 to their winnings. It was a format built to please both competitors and fans.
"That was great," said three-time world champ Will Lowe, not only about the fans voting for competitors, but also about the rodeo's overall design. "It's good to get input from the fans on who they want to see ride. (And) the tournament style format is so much fun — a clean slate on each ride and just bring back the top guys after each go and then boil it down to the last two. That style is a lot of fun for fans, contractors and everybody.
"This is a great concept for rodeo," agreed Marvin Witt, the National Western's VP of Operations, about the rodeo's format. "It gives the contestants the opportunity to compete for a very nice pot of money. The other thing is, there was only 16 competitors per event, so the odds of winning was better and more people would take a paycheck home."
Witt then turned the subject to the fans.
"The fans get to see names they recognize," he said about internet voting that chose the rodeo's contestants. "In the Rodeo All Stars, you had an excellent opportunity to see some of the best (competitors) and the quality was phenomenal. So the fans got to see something that was good."
Colorado fans also saw home-grown talent shine on the arena sand of the National Western's Events Center, and none was brighter than Josh Peek. The Pueblo cowboy used the clean slates afforded him by the tournament format to wipe away fourth-place finishes from Friday and claim the top spots in both Steer Wrestling and Tie Down Roping during Saturday's final round, which qualified him for the big money head-to-head rounds. After getting his mind and horse readied on short notice, Peek pulled off victories in both events on his way to pocketing $17,000 in prize money. It was his first time ever winning two events in a single rodeo, and the veteran cowboy was thrilled by the success against talented competition.
"I was just in awe," revealed Peek after his second win. "It was a blessing. That was the first thing I could think. The only thing going through my mind was, oh my goodness, it happened."
An oh-my-goodness moment for fans also came in the barrel racing event, where a pair of Colorado cowgirls ended up matched in the deciding head-to-head round for a title and that extra $5,000. Sammie Bessert and Paige Conrado battled all weekend long and, when the dust settled, Bessert edged Conrado by a combined 0.21 seconds over two rounds on Saturday night.
"It was really exciting," said Bessert about running head-to-head against Conrado. "I think the format just adds to that. It was fun experiencing that with (Paige). We were neck and neck all weekend, our horses were just back and forth (and) it could have really gone either way."
Asked about picking up a nice check in one weekend, Bessert was excited the top-notch rodeo is starting up in Colorado.
"I ended up with $9,500," she described about nearly taking home the maximum $10,000 offered per event. "It was amazing. I spent two months rodeoing in Texas this winter, and we won a little bit everywhere we went, but I think I won more this weekend than I won all winter."
While Colorado contestants conquered the timed events, Will Lowe dominated the bareback field. Lowe climbed aboard a young Cervi horse named Lucky Lady on Saturday night, not knowing what to expect, and the duo showered the arena with 91 points to win $3,000 and move into the head-to-head round for the possibility of more.
"The way that horse bucks, she could have been in that head-to-head deal," praised Lowe, who displayed fist-pumping emotion after the ride. "There is a lot of electricity to a horse like that. Boy, it felt good. I didn't want to quit riding," he laughed.
It was a good thing, since he had to mount up against Bo Casper in short order. The duo showcased their talents aboard a pair of outstanding Cervi horses and Lowe posted 90 more points for the triumph. Afterward, the Texas cowboy described going mano-a-mano for a win.
"It makes it a lot of fun, being head to head with one guy," sad Lowe. "You both know you're going to do good; you both know each one of you has a pretty even horse. It's all a clean slate and you both just go and let them roll. That's the great thing, you can go out there and ... be as wild as you can and get as many points as you can."
Cowboys can only get big points on good stock, and the Saturday night rodeo was stacked with excellent pairings. It was a successful recipe for riders and stock contractors alike.
"It's great," praised Ty Rinaldo about pitting a number of his Larkspur, Colo., based TZ Ranch bulls against quality cowboys. "It's nice to be able to take these animals to events where they are truly tested. These guys tried hard and sure put the test to our stock. It was a great show. I thought the final night was an outstanding event."
On top of the final night, organizers worked to make the entire weekend an immersive environment for fans of all ages. The National Western's exhibition hall became a "rodeo fantasy" experience, where attendees could rope steer dummies, ride mechanical bulls, watch mutton busting, take in a western wear fashion show and even meet participating cowboys and cowgirls.
"I loved it," said Peek about fan interaction during introductions and the Breakfast with Rodeo Champions. "They're trying to put cowboys in front of the spectators and give spectators a chance to touch their hand, meet them, get to know them and hang out."
"I'm planning on coming back," summed up Lowe about the rodeo. "Hopefully we can keep growing it and get it bigger each year and get more people involved. It was a lot of fun." ❖
"We still run things on good old fashioned customer service. A lot of the reason why we can compete with bigger feed stores is because we treat people how they want to be treated, and they come back because of that."
~ Danielle Nater, daughter of Dennis Nater, owner and operator of Northern Colorado Feeder's Supply

2005 Nissan Murano SL Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
My car from the time of purchase has only been service by nissan dealership.
I have replaced everything from belts to last a motor. Now they are telling me that it's the catalytic converter. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves for passing this pretty body off as car.
2005 Nissan Murano SL Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I have owned my '05 SL 2WD since it arrived off the boat October 2005. It currently has 132,000 miles. I have NEVER kept a vehicle over 75,000 miles before. I drive 65 miles R/T 4-5 days a week through the Arizona desert and farmlands at 45-70 MPH, mostly using cruise control. In the summer I average 21.5 mpg or around 420 mpt. In the fall-spring without A/C I average 23.6 or 475 mpt. The most was a confirmed 525 mpt one winter. My local dealership has done all recall work as well as routine maintenance. All in all, it has been a great family ride and has never left us stranded. Unlike many Ford or Chryslers I have owned. Sure it has its known problems and this one is no different.
The style grew on me. CVT is smooth. I like the drivers position, reclining rear seat for the kids and there is plenty of room for gear in the back. Our Mo came from the factory with HID headlights, heated leather seats, moonroof, navi, Sirius, rear roof mounted entertainment with headphones and remote, backup camera and a solid BOSE sound system. I think it was called a "Versant" package. I have spent little on maintenance. My hoses and belts are changed every 50,000 miles. My battery only lasts 2-3 years on the AZ desert heat. My front brakes lasted 60,000 miles and replaced again at 110, 000 miles. Rear brakes and shocks were shot at 75,000 miles.
Yes I have had issues with the visors falling into our view- nothing a 25 cent mini bungee cord couldn't fix. Yes I had the black painted trim fade out-nothing $100 at the body shop couldn't fix. Yes I had the driver seat "break" while driving-nothing a $50 bill and a tack-weld couldn't fix. Yes I had the throttle body intake come loose under acceleration one day-yes that was scary, but I reconnected, retightened and drove away. That issue was resolved during a visit to the dealer later that week who fixed it before the recall went public. I do wish that Nissan would acknowledge the issue with the visors and seat. $200+ for replacement visors and $1000+ for a new seat is extreme.
2005 Nissan Murano SL Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Not a well built vehicle.
Safety issues that are well known and common with this vehicle.
Electric door locks do not work (wouldn't open if in an accident and you had a child by one of those doors).
Sun visors won't stay up and keep
falling down.
That is another safety issue that is well documented.
They are also well know for cheap paint that peels after a few years (we have had to have our hood repainted and it sets in a garage when not used).
Most of the plastic shields that guard the fender wells, and parts underneath have fallen off or had to be tied up.
4 expensive sensors have had to be replaced.
On the up side, we haven't had any drive train trouble as of yet.
Comfort, design, driveability.
Fix the safety problems, sun visors and door locks. Better paint and better fasteners for the plastic shields underneath.
2005 Nissan Murano SL Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I traded my lovely trouble free Honda Accord for this 2005 Murano SL with 82k miles.
Was told the previous owner babied this vehicle.
The leather is practically perfect so I was like ok.
Week 1--the battery dies.
I replaced a 2005 Nissan Factory battery in 2013!! With a J-05 code on it.
Even after I replaced the battery the car wouldnt start.
I tell the dealer I bought it from they cant look at it until monday.
I finally get it started but I smell gas just briefly.
I make it to dealer only to have the service guy tell me he cant look at it.
I drive back and my gas level depletes pretty quickly. Glad I made it home.
I ended up walking to work as I am now out of gas.
love the room between the lift gate and the back seat, love how high I sit. overall love the vehicle just not the issues.
Make sure all systems respond immediately upon replacing battery. Having the fuel delivery system delay cost me 2 hours of vacation time at work so I could walk home in safety.
2005 Nissan Murano SL Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I purchased a used AS-IS 2005 Nissan Murano with 67,476 exact miles on the odometer from Landers McLarty Nissan in Huntsville Alabama August 17, 2011 with a verbal promise and guarantee that they do not re-sale any used vehicles that are not up to standard, dependable and trustworthy. Supposedly, all vehicles go through a thorough inspection process. My sales person, Eukrinas exact words were we do not put our name on anything that we wont stand behind.Two weeks after purchase I notice vibration and knocking noise from under the hood. Mechanical inspection from Madison Automotive on September 7, 2011 revealed that I had two motor mounts broken. (Front Engine Mount-part #11270CN101 and lower rear engine mount-part #11320CA110) Total repair estimate $847.12
I called the dealership to see if they were going to help with some of the repair cost and I was told that it must have been something that I did and that I should know that they had to replace the transmission in my trade in vehicle. Landers McLarty Nissan drove my 2000 Nissan Maxima before making me an offer and knew what the vehicle was worth and that should not have any bearing on the fact that this dealership sold me a lemon. Unable to afford replacement of both motor mounts at the same time, I had the front engine mount replaced on September 12, 2011 at a cost of $400.00, mileage aprox. 69,000. Firestone Complete Auto Care in Huntsville Alabama replaced the rear lower engine mount on October 15, 2011 at a cost of $402.15 exact mileage 70,486. At 72,469 exact miles the service engine light came on and after an engine diagnostic test with Firestone Complete Auto Care in Huntsville Alabama December 14, 2011 at a cost of $106.47 the result is a bad catalytic converter. I was advised that this could be a manufacture covered replacement issue.
Landers McLarty Nissan of Huntsville performed their diagnostic test December 20, 2011 with the same results and I was told that yes it is a bad catalytic converter but that the vehicle passed the emission control test and that I must have used some bad gasoline. I informed the service person that I have only used Chevron regular grade gasoline since the purchase of the vehicle on August 17th 2011. I was told that there is nothing that they can do and suggested that I run premium gasoline in the vehicle to see if this clears the problem. I have relayed this information to a reputable mechanic and repair shop and I am told that is only a ploy to get me over the mileage whereas the manufactures warranty would not have to cover the repair/replacement of the $500.00 part. Now, an additional $1,005.73 later Ive had both struts replaced with the need of replacing the shocks on the rear, bushings (both lower-front) upper radiator hose, front exhaust gusset, drive belts and two tires.

ASL University | Bookstore | Catalog | Dictionary | Lessons | Resources | Syllabi | Library
My high schooler has taken ASL I and ASL II through the junior college that come to her high school and teaches for the appropriate state and college foreign language requirements. She needs to take ASL III and I am unable to find it either online or offered during summer. Do you know where she can find ASL III?
- Jane (Name changed to protect her privacy).
I offer ASL 3 via ASLUniversity online. I don't list it in my offerings simply due to time constraints (it is time consuming to deal with one-on-one or small class instruction).
The cost is $483.00 for the instruction (includes instructional videos, online lessons, 15 online quizzes, plus grading of a research paper, a video project, and a proctored Final Exam) and a letter of documentation from me that indicates completion (or not) and a letter grade (A, A-, B+, B...ect). That $483 version is NON-credit but the letter of documentation is often accepted by local high schools as the basis for awarding local independent study or language credit from the local high school -- since I hold an accredited doctorate in the field.
IF a person needs actual college credit, the Sacramento State College of Continuing Education representative can sometimes list an ASL 3 course and put you in it and then use my grade to award credit (functional equivalent of "Credit by Examination") BUT that requires additionally paying the non-state-funded tuition for the course, which at several hundred dollars per unit (and being a 4 unit course) comes to the $1,200 range PLUS the LP instruction fee of $483.00 (which at that point is considered basically a materials fee).
IF you decide to go ahead with ASL 3 (either as the "community education version" or as the "college credit version," let me know). Note: I'm rather busy (extremely so) between now and the end of the semester with my Sacramento State courses and thus you might need to be patient with me and poke me from time to time.

How can I take the online "ASL 1 and/or ASL 2" course offered by CSUS?
Answer: You may or may not be able to take those classes. Some courses are only open to non-matriculated students. (If you are a regular student you may not be able to take certain classes).
Lately the regular "Department of Special Education, Rehabilitation, School Psychology, and Deaf Studies" has started offering some online classes as well. The classes offered by the regular Department are registered for using the normal online registration procedures.
But the College of Continuing Education at California State University Sacramento has for many years offered an online "ASL 1" course Fall Semester and an online "ASL 2" course Spring semester.
The level one course is: "EDS 051 American Sign Language 1" and is typically listed as section 50.
The level two course is: "EDS 052 American Sign Language 2" and is typically listed as section 50.
The online versions of these two courses are not usually listed in the main CSUS catalog. Instead they are usually listed at the CSUS College of Continuing Education's website. The general website is at: http://www.cce.csus.edu/ But sometimes those classes show up in the CSUS regular semester listing and it causes confusion to the students when they can't register as normal.
At the time of this writing, the way to register for those courses is to contact the College of Continuing Education:
Visit Napa Hall or call the College of Continuing Education (916-278-4433 or (916) 278-6984) and let them know that you want to take "EDS 51" (ASL 1) or "EDS 52" (ASL 2) online through the College of Continuing Education. Ask them for registration information, tuition information, and payment information.
Question: Who teaches these two online courses?
Answer: While individual teachers may vary you can be assured that whomever teaches it will be a qualified ASL instructor.
For quite a few years now these two courses have been taught by Belinda Vicars. She is Deaf, holds a masters degree, and has over 20 years experience teaching ASL.
Question: How much does each course cost?
Answer: It is best to call 916-278-4433 or (916) 278-6984 to find out the most recent pricing information. Call them regarding ANY tuition or registration related questions. Also, the most recent contact information for the CCE program coordinator over this program was: firstname.lastname@example.com or call (916) 278-4813.
Question: How does the course work? What about the curriculum? Do I have to attend any classes?
Answer: The instructor for several years now has used the Lifeprint.com curriculum as well as her own materials (at www.BelindaVicars.com) and the Blackboard (WebCT) system. Classroom attendance is not required and the whole course can be completed online. Students must have access to video recording equipment such as a webcam or video recorder. You study the lessons online and you take quizzes online. Near completion of the course you must take a receptive final exam with an approved proctor watching (to make sure you do not cheat). Your instructor will provide guidelines to help you locate a suitable proctor.
Question: Before registering, can I contact the instructor and ask questions or get a copy of the syllabus ahead of time?
Answer: Yes you can contact the instructor. Please keep in mind that it is very important to identify who you are and what program or course you are interested in or referring to. For example, use a subject line such as: Mary Smith, question about CSUS CCE ASL 1 (online).
By stating "CSUS CCE" you will help Belinda to know that you are talking about the CSUS college course and not the ASLU private course.
Her email is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Question: Can I start the course at any time?
Answer: No. The ASL 1 course (EDS 51, section 50 through CSUS's College of Continuing Education) is offered in the Fall (it typically starts around the second week of September). The level 2 course is offered in the Spring.
Question: The CSUS CCE web page says that the course is not currently offered. Has it been canceled?
Answer: What that usually means is that the time of year is not close enough to Fall or Spring semester for the college to post the course. Call the CSUS College of Continuing Education directly (916) 278-6984 and ask to speak to the person who coordinates the American Sign Language classes.
Question: Is the program live or something that I can do on my own schedule?
Answer: The CSUS EDS 51 ASL 1 Online course as offered via the College of Continuing Education is for the most part, self-paced and can be done whenever is convenient for the student to access the internet. However there are certain deadlines that must be met and the whole course must be completed in approximately 3 months. See the official CSUS schedule and/or the course syllabus for specifics.
Question: Is your course fully captioned?
Answer: No. The course uses no audio and thus needs no captioning.
Question: My daughter is in high school and has never taken a signing course. She does have some basic skills from signing books that we have purchased as well as many songs she has learned signing through her music program, but it is very remedial. Would this be a good starting place for a beginner?
Answer: The EDS 51 "ASL 1" course is intended for beginners.
Question: How do you do the grading?
Answer: Grading is based on completion of online quizzes, a video project, and a proctored receptive final evaluation.
Question: Do we need to have access to Skype?
Answer: As of this writing Skype isn't needed, but that may change so be prepared to invest in a relatively good web cam and make sure you have access to broadband internet. The student will need certainly need access to video recording equipment and be able to upload a video or transfer it to disk and send.
Instructors: For all student administration questions, please contact Emelina Logan at 278-7770 or logane(at)csus.edu
Instructors: For all Summer Session contract and pay questions, contact: Andrea Speir speira(at)csus.edu
Students: For registration and related questions contact Liz Arellanes

Whoa, that's salty! The recipes featured on page 5E of Wednesday's Food&Health section were incorrect because of a production error. In the ingredient lists, some figures came out as whole numbers instead of fractions (18 teaspoons of salt, for instance, instead of 1/8 teaspoon). Corrected recipes will run in next week's Food section.

Legg Mason Bullish Engulfing Formed
Published on Monday, 21 May 2012 22:09 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, May 21st (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Legg Mason, Inc. (NYSE:LM) ended the trading session higher by $0.78 or 3.24% from its previous close. Legg Mason's price action formed what is considered to be a bullish engulfing candle that could very well signal a continuation of trend or reversal of the ongoing weakness.
Legg Mason, Inc. (NYSE:LM) is a global asset management company. The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides investment management and related services to institutional and individual clients, company-sponsored mutual funds and other pooled investment vehicles.
Legg Mason's recent stock range was formed by a trough where calculated support was defined at $22.36 and by a peak that established the resistance level at $25.05. This range could be used by traders managing their positions.
Traders wanting to establish a position in Legg Mason or traders that are already holding the stock can use the bullish engulfing pattern to their advantage. The pattern provides a defined risk, as it shows where the bears were able to push the stock down, before the bulls step in with a bid.
The bullish engulfing pattern is a leading indicator that provides an alert to the bulls that the trend will continue or that there is an immediate reversal to the short-term weakness seen on the stock. Below an Engulfing Bullish Candle Illustration:

One last thing. The chart on this stock looks terrible. What is wrong? From almost 52 week high, to 52 week low in a month with no news. I don't get it. Now, I off to the gym. :-)
Not exactly the stock I had in mind when i picked it. At least the PE is looking more attractive and earnings are still coming in. I dont see it going too low but I didn't see it going this low either..bla bla bla ok off i go.
Bottom again, all in
at least you are staying fit :-|

Martin's bestselling fantasy series "A Song of Fire and Ice" into a dramatic series to be written and executive produced by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, reports Variety. "Fire" is the first TV project for Benioff (Troy) and Weiss (Halo) and will shoot in Europe or New Zealand. Benioff and Weiss will write every episode of each season together save one, which the author (a former TV writer) will script. The series will begin with the 1996 first book, "A Game of Thrones," and the intention is for each novel (they average 1,000 pages each) to fuel a season's worth of episodes. Martin has nearly finished the fifth installment, but won't complete the seven-book cycle until 2011. The author will co-executive produce the series along with Management 360's Guymon Casady and Created By's Vince Gerardis.

"Oh so all austerity means you have to do without something critical."
I took cartoon as a comment on making bad choices in austerity, such as cutting vital programs instead of obvious pork & waste.
Austerity is destructive and ultimately bad of their economies as they have found out————again. You would think Germany would remember how a Conservative Chancellor deep sixed their economy even more during the Depression into a Great Depression in Germany.

Raiders-Chiefs matchup No. 1: Roach vs. Charles
Raiders-Chiefs matchup No. 1: Jamaal Charles vs. Nick Roach
Nick Roach will be tasked with keeping an eye on Jamaal Charles, who has five total touchdowns this season. (USA TODAY IMAGES)
Editor's note: This is the third part in a series that spotlights three Raiders-Chiefs matchups to watch Sunday, 10 a.m., at Arrowhead Stadium
[RELATED: Matchup No. 2: McFadden vs. Poe]
Raiders MLB Nick Roach vs. Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles
Tale of the tape:
Roach (53): 6-foot-1, 234 pounds, seventh season, Northwestern
Charles (25): 5-foot-11, 199 pounds, sixth season, Texas
Jamaal Charles is averaging a career-worst 4.3 yards per carry. Don't take that to mean he's lost a step. He's averaging more rushes than ever before and 15 yards per game less than a year ago. Don't take that to mean he's weaker or slower or less explosive.
His yards are just being shuffled around as new head coach Andy Reid is using him to great effect. Charles is averaging a career-high 129.4 yards of total offense over five games, and is more involved in the passing game than ever before.
Charles is a dual threat long regarded among the NFL's best feature backs. This year is no different.
He'll be a tough challenge for a Raiders defense that's had mixed results against the run.
"Any time you have an explosive player like that, you've got to get multiple guys to the ball," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "He does a great job out in space and makes a lot of people miss, so it's going to be critical that we play fast and if somebody does miss a tackle out in space, we've got other guys there to back them up. That's what good defenses do."
Allen emphasized the importance of not letting Charles get a clean run into the second level. That requires assignment-sound football. Nick Roach expects nothing less.
The Raiders middle linebacker is in charge of the front seven, and for helping put teammates in position to make plays. Roach has come into his own as a field general and run defender in recent weeks. He's better at shedding blocks, which allows him to make plays near the line of scrimmage.
That will be important in negating Charles' big-play potential. The Chiefs like to stretch the edge and give Charles cutback lanes to break through. The Raiders need to shut those options down.
"He's very explosive," defensive coordinator Jason Tarver said. "He can go to the house whether he's running the direct stretch cut run that they're running or if he's putting his foot in the ground and going at the back side, so your defense has to be good on the front, back and middle of the play.
"You've got to get off of blocks and make sure he stays where we want him to stay. It's a lot easier to say and harder to do."
[RELATED: Matchup No. 3: Barnes vs. Hali]
The Raiders hope to force him toward specific rushing lanes, where sure tacklers like Roach will be waiting. The next step is getting the ball out, which rarely happens with Charles in possession. He had five fumbles last season, but he hasn't had more than three in any other season.
Patience is a virtue in these situations, because Charles will get touches and gain some yards. The Raiders want to keep those gains small. They have to keep Charles out of open space, which will force the Chiefs into longer passing downs Reid's West Coast scheme longs to avoid.
While scheme can help corral this talent, Roach has refined his approach to two easy steps.
See Jamaal, hit Jamaal.
"It's not as complicated as it looks," Roach said. "He's fast, and they like to get him to the edge and let him make plays like that. He'll cut up the middle too, but the key is to be strong on the edge and keep him as contained as possible.
"We know it's going to be a challenge. We're looking forward to it."

Take the UNVEIL survey today and help us further understand this cruel and mysterious disease
The Lupus Foundation of America will partner with the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) to support a new five-year initiative that will accelerate the ability to develop new medicines for lupus and other diverse and complex diseases.
The Lupus Foundation of America announced today it is accepting applications to provide critical funding for lupus scientific research, at a time when government funds for lupus research can't keep pace with the accelerating growth of lupus scientific opportunities.
A newly identified immune protein influences each person's response to vaccines and risk for autoimmune diseases like lupus and multiple sclerosis.
Northwestern Medicine® scientists have successfully tested a nontoxic therapy that suppresses Lupus in blood samples of people with the autoimmune disease.
Children with lupus may have a higher risk for developing cancer – especially blood cancers such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia – compared to children without lupus.

Well a good thing, thats been helping. (Keep in mind I have very little acne)
is switching your pillow sheets every night for a clean one. Its been helping out a lot and I'm almost clear. Also wash your face constantly with hot water, maybe even warm. Pat dry.

Stop watching anime all day and get some sunlight
#37 - anon (11/24/2012) [-]
change your bedsheets and pillowcases at least weekly, change the pillowcases daily if you have acne really bad or put fresh towels over them every morning
#35 - notmutzaki (11/24/2012) [-]
Ask at the drug store. Other than that, clean your face twice a day and change your pillow case every day. (You can do the t-shirt thing and just use t-shirts as pillow cases for a week or so.)

imo proactive helped me a ton. But for my personal experience i hit puberty in 6th grade, so i had acne in middle school. And within like 2 - 3 months of constant use i stopped getting acne, i had it bad. All over my forehead, like mountain ranges coming off my face.
#23 - chevah (11/24/2012) [-]
wait til they get really big then put toothpaste on it....it takes the sting away and by the morning it will be smaller and disappear faster, personally I've never had more than 1 spot at at time, but the best thing to do is let it run it's course, but you can make that happen faster, never pop them unless you want a scar

elmers glue on the nose helps black heads
it HAS to be elmers though, i tried dollar store kind and it didn't do anything.
Proactive is OK, the problem is when you stop using it the acne comes back. Every once in a while, blot your skin with a tissue (BLOT! do not smear!) this helps soak up excess oil.
Drink ALOT more water. Water clear up your skin. if you drink a lot of soda with caffeine, thats one reason why. Cut out the sugar soda, and chocolate
Eat more fruit, some fruit contains zinc which is great for acne
Blend up a cucumber, apply to face and wash it off after 20 minutes.
If you are stressed, try to relax more, stress causes acne
#16 - Magnisethered (11/24/2012) [-]
Id suggest popping them, then cleaning the pore with hydrogen peroxide, keep it clean and the pore should close up nice and clean
#18 - thegirlyoudespise (11/24/2012) [-]
Popping them causes acne scars though.
#19 - Magnisethered (11/24/2012) [-]
only if done repeatedly, using a topical like neosporin (I cant remember how to spell it) after cleaning the pore will prevent scaring and help prevent the return of an outbreak. Thank you for bringing up that point because I forgot about scar prevention!

Corporate Advocacy Program™
From Carnival Cruise Line there wasnt any investigation with Hotel Director who harassed me.
I conduct several Lawyers and their respond was that Carnival Cruise Line is considering a foreign company and unfortunately nothing can be done.
Overall as American Citizen I was mistreated from Carnival Cruise.
Carnival Cruise Lines is one from the worse Companies in the world by mistreat his employees stealing their money, they have them working extra hours without pay them overtime, Carnival Cruise Lines collecting gratuities from guests by lien that they give to their servers instead they pocketing and pay a portion of the money.
Carnival Cruise Lines profits who it is over two and half billions yearly, they build ships in Europe instead in United States and the worst part is:
According to New York Times by capital IQ a research firm the worst part is Carnival Cruise Lines pay 1.1% taxes yearly basic, thanks to an obscure loophole in the tax code Carnival Cruise Lines avoid most taxes.
Finally Carnival Cruise Lines out of 65,000 employees there is only 3% American Citizens even though the 99% from the passengers are American Citizens and the unemployment in the United States is over 9%.
Thank you.

Skill Level Intermediate
So, for now, let's just do this 30-second edit. This could be 60 seconds. It could be any other specific length. Perhaps you're working on a main title that needs to be 45 seconds or maybe 48 seconds. You can use the same technique for any length. Okay. So let's look at this. We want to shorten this cue down. It's got a fairly long intro--the intro is almost 20 seconds by itself--and it's got several sections of build, and then a nice long outro. So we're going to have to cut quite a lot out of this song to make it work. But the important thing is that we give the song the same natural arc and build that it already has.
So that's our goal here. We're going to cut out certain sections but maintain the phrasing as much as possible, try and keep at least one of the breaks, and at least some sort of an intro and outro, so that when you hear it, you recognize it as a piece of this full song, rather than just taking a 30-second chunk of it. Sometimes that can actually work. Perhaps we wanted a 30-second chunk. We could just go hey! There is 30 seconds, trim. We're good to go. By the way, that key command was Command+T or Ctrl+T, which we aren't really going to use too much but good to see anyway. So let's move on with our edit.
First, let's find a good short intro. (music playing) This is all really cool, but I think it's going to take us a little too long to get into the meat of the track for such a short edit. (music playing) So we may need to do something similar to what we did in our previous edit, and just grab a small intro. So let's snap this to the beginning of our first marker. I'm going to zoom in here and find the end of that bar. (music playing) Or rather that two bars, which is right here. And again, I'm going to make a cut right at the beginning of the transientm and I'm going to move forward to this first downbeat where the song actually kicks into full gear, make a cut at the beginning of that transient.
Select the region we're going to replace, and Ctrl+Click the region we want to move there. We'll zoom in, take a quick listen, and make a crossfade - (clip playing) Cool! So that works. One other thing I might want to keep is this cool little snare riff that picks up going into the downbeat. So let's see if we can make that work. (clip playing) So let's find a good, clean spot to bring that in, do a crossfade, and listen to it. (clip playing) Great! So we've got a good short, small intro now.
I'm going to zoom in, and I'm going to put a small fade in on the beginning of this region. Now, you can do this really easily and quickly with Command Focus enabled by pressing the D key. First, you want to locate your cursor to where you want the end of the fade to be, and by pressing the D key, a fade will be drawn using your default preferences from that point to the beginning of the region. Let's undo that, and look at a different way to make a fade-in. Using the Smart tool, you can place your cursor on the top left-hand corner of the region, and the cursor will change so you see this icon.
You can now click and drag. And since we're in Grid mode, we'll also need to hold Command or Ctrl in order to move this fade off of the grid, or in between the grid lines. So it's just a really small fade intended to just make sure we don't have any clicks or pops. So now let's move on. (clip playing) Cool! So this is a fairly long phrase. This cue has basically a two bar phrase before it changes. (clip playing) And even then it's not finished with the larger musical phrase.
So what we're going to do is condense these several sections probably into one, maybe two, so that this particular phrase builds throughout the progression of it. In the same way that the larger song builds throughout the progression of the song, we're just going to make it do it in much less time. So let's make our first edit after the first bar. (clip playing) It should be right here. Get in there really close, find the start of that transient, and let's look at what we want to cut to.
(clip playing) So that might be a good spot. Let's find the second bar of the phrase from that repeat. (clip playing) Two, cool! So let's get in there and find the transient again. Using that same technique, we can just select the previous region, Ctrl+Click to move it into place, and listen to what we've got. (clip playing) Cool! We may want to keep this moving quickly, so we're going to go and grab the next bar, and do yet another edit there. And we're probably going to have to take a section from the next piece after the first break to keep this building quickly enough to get done in 30 seconds.
(clip playing) However, this actually won't work that well because we have a melody introduced here. So let's look at another option. Let's listen to it again and get a sense of what happens going into this break. (clip playing) Okay, cool! So we may want to just have a very short intro and use this break right away and then jump straight to the melody.
So let's look at how we might do that. (clip playing) Let's find a good spot here to make our edit. I'm going to use the transient from the snare hit this time. So I want to keep that as a pre-lap, and let's look at where we're going to place it. (clip playing) That's right about where that snare hit would be on this side of the edit. So let's look at pasting it there, make our selection, and paste it in, tiny little crossfade, just to clean up any pops or ticks, and let's listen to make sure that works.
(clip playing) Yeah, it's cool! We've got a pretty long break right at the beginning of the cue, so we may want to shorten it. Let's see if that's even feasible. (clip playing) Yeah, maybe. Let's see what happens in the rest of the edit. If we need more time, we can come back and shorten it, but for now, let's leave it as it is. So picking up where we left off-- (clip playing) Some cool stuff in here.
So we're probably going to start changing this again pretty quickly. We've got a lot of material left in our song to incorporate. So let's look at this next chunk and see what happens on the second half of that phrase. (clip playing) Nice! So we've got another musical element introduced here that helps build the tension and helps build the cue. So let's use that, but we've got to make sure we keep our melody playing normally. So we're going to pick up from this next section of the song, right where we left off in the previous section of the song. So let's listen to that and find it. (clip playing) Okay, right about here. (clip playing) That's the downbeat of that spot, go ahead and find the transient, make our edit, cut it, paste it and listen.
(clip playing) Cool! Now, if we really wanted, we could shorten this even more and bring that in sooner, but I actually really like this little stutter break here. So I'm going to leave it in there for now. If we need to, we can come back to it and replace it, but let's try not to. We do still have a lot of material left though, so let's see how this is going to end. (clip playing) Okay. So this is actually pretty cool.
It's more or less the same vibe, but there's yet another element introduced. So we may want to skip to the second phrase at the end of this section and use that in place of the edit we just made. So let's look at doing that. (clip playing) So right here would be the same beat musically. So we'll zoom in, make our edit, select it, cut it, select the place we want to put it, paste it, and let's look at this because we have a remnant fade from our previous edit that we want to get rid of and create a new fade. I'll just press F. And let's listen to this and make sure this works.
(clip playing) Cool! It does work. Now, the only challenge is that this break comes right before the end, and this last section builds up again right before the end. So perhaps that's a good spot for us to start to mellow out the cue, rather than building it up again. So let's look at that.
Maybe one way to do it is to jump right to the end. Let's see if that's even a possibility by listening to the end. (clip playing) Sure! That could work. So let's go in here. I'm going to pick up the snare hit right before the end, rather than on the downbeat, just because the snare transient is more visible; it's easier to find more quickly. Let's find where we're going to place that. (clip playing) It should be on this snare hit, but again, since we're going to keep this snare hit, what I'm doing is I'm just using this edit technique as kind of a ruler.
So we'll keep the snare hit by dragging out the end of this region with the Trimmer tool and then clean up the edit on the other side here. We can see right here where the next beat started in the previous region, so we're going to cut that off, and snap this by Ctrl+Clicking into place. And let's listen. (clip playing) The music wants to pick up again, but I think that's also partly because we've heard it already and we know what it wants to do.
So let's see if we can make this work smoothly with the 30-second duration that we have to work with. So let's select this last region here and the little snippet that's left from a previous edit, and let's delete those. And let's listen to the end of our edit one more time from earlier in the track just to see how it feels. (clip playing) Cool! So that could certainly work.
It's not ideal because it does feel like it wants to pick up after that break. But let's keep this edit and do an alternate. So what we're going to do is make a selection that includes the entire edit. I'm going to hold Ctrl+Option and drag the region into one of the bin tracks. And by holding Option, we're making a copy of our edit. So now we have a copy of this version, and we can alter the copy that's up on our Edit 1 track without losing what we've already done, in case we want to come back to it.

I am working on this site:
I have removed the comment form. Now I'm trying to get rid of the link on the HOME page that says "Leave A Comment"
Where do I go to delete that? I totally deleted everything in comments.php section, but I can't find where the coding is for the "Leave A Comment" link that you see on the home page as well as the sample page.
Also I want to delete "1 comment" link on the news page.
I just can't seem to find where to locate these in the code. Any advice would be appreciated.

Measurement Methods for Complex Fluid Formulation
May 5, 2011
Steve Hudson
On May 3, 2011, the Complex Fluids Group and the Microrheometry Project hosted a meeting with manufacturers (in the United States and United Kingdom) to discuss measurement advances and needs in the formulation of complex fluids. This dialogue was coordinated with the Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer Network, a U.K. governmental organization that supports R&D projects to encourage manufacturing. Participants included representatives from both large multinational and small companies, and the topics of discussion were measurement, process methods, and formulation methods. NIST representatives from MML, PML, EL, CNST, NCNR, and the Program Office were in attendance.
