Hi folks!
I'm planning to go to the Canary Islands to do a hiking tour of 3 or 4 days. I allready searched the internet, but what's your opinion of the best and most beautifull island to hike? It's important that I can stay overnight during my trip in a hut or camping or..., it has to be 1 trip and not 3 trips while I have 1 base.
Do I need a guide or is it possible alone by myself?
I'm from Belgium, so the other next thing how to get there, cheap
Thanks a lot!

Being a fashionista means more than only knowing how to sew. If a girl is truly passionate about wanting to become a fashion designer, then she must understand the different skills that are needed in order to succeed in the fashion industry. A fashion designer is usually in charge of everything when it comes to their clothing collection. This is why there are so many schools throughout the U.S. dedicated to offering different programs for Fashion Design! If you want to be the very best, then it's always best to plan ahead!
What Fashion Designers Need To Know
A successful fashion designer knows the in-and-outs of the business world. A designer is also responsible for finding opportunities that will be willing to sell some of their creations. That is why being knowledgeable in many business concepts, such as Marketing and Accounting, will be of great help if you decide to become a designer. Since your creations are original, you will mainly be working solo unless you try to collaborate with another designer. That is why knowing all these concepts are necessary because you will have to depend on yourself.
High School Preparation
It's never too early to start preparing for a career in fashion! First, take an art class. Art classes are a good way to let your creativity flow. Plus, something that a designer must be good at is drawing! Taking a couple of business classes is also a plus, because it will help you become more familiar with how to a business works. When you are ready to take the next step, college, start looking up different programs or schools that offer a degree or classes in fashion. Fashion Institute of Technology, Parsons, Pratt, and others are some schools you can look into. Check your local university to see what they offer — who knows, you might be interested in working in another area of the fashion industry!
Internship Preparation
It is no secret that the fashion world is competitive. That is why experience is always key to making your application stand out. If you aren't doing anything time consuming over the summer, consider looking for an internship! There are paid and unpaid internships available, but the networking and experience is priceless! If you want to see what it's like to actually work in fashion, then an internship is a good way to go. Don't think that you have to fly to NYC to get the best internship. You can go to a local fabric or design shop and ask about any opportunities they may have. There are people out there that would love to help you with your dreams, so never be afraid to ask! Internships in college and high school will help you the experience you need to get your foot in the door. You may not be super famous right out of college, but the more experience you have, the higher your chances are of finding the perfect opportunity to succeed in the fashion industry. Remember chicas, networking is a HUGE factor for succeeding in the fashion industry!
It may sound like a lot of work, but finding your dream job comes with hard work. Planning ahead will make things simpler in the future. Start planing chica!

In part one of our series on "Prepper Relocation," I directly addressed a common false logic amongst preppers that led to bad conclusions regarding why one should relocate to Idaho. Specifically, I challenged the idea that a bunker was a viable long term survival strategy for a major catastrophe many prep for such as nuclear war. Simply establishing a second residence in a modern first world location like Santiago, Singapore, or New Zealand offer far better options for survival, both physically and economically, than hiding in a hole while a nuclear war is carried out above you. Today, I continue the slaughter of the sacred cows and challenge the merits of relocating to a site far from other people. As I previously discussed, relocation isn't a subject to take lightly. It may be the single most important decision a prepper makes and therefore any plan should be heavily vetted before time and money is invested in executing it. Therefore, one must consider counter arguments to contemporary "expert" recommendations. By leveraging the information in this series, you will be far better prepared to develop a personalized answer to what truly is you "best prepper place to relocate."
Contemporary prepper logic states that the farther your relocation site is from dense centers of population, the better. In fact, the magic number often touted is that you must be at least 300 miles from any major population center. However, is this really the case? This is very important because if 300 miles is accurate, it severely constrains your relocation options. If it is not a valid constraint, then suddenly you have many good options for relocation depending on the specific scenario you are prepping for. As such, let's examine what that conclusion is premised upon. Breaking the theory down, you have two main hypotheses to vet. The first is that 300 miles provides a necessary and adequate buffer from an urban center. The second is that from said urban area a horde of starving refugees will emerge and overrun your redoubt.
Let me be the first to tell you neither hypothesis constituting this prepper theory, which to date has been held up as prepper law, is valid. Read more

We love to read about beautiful women about as much as we like reading about the rich and famous. Yet many writers tend to write beautiful women as though they have no issues with their looks. This isn't just unrealistic, it's shallow, and it gives readers little to hang their hearts on in the reading. We all know everyone has issues, including beautiful women, so let's get real in depicting them.
When a girl is on the precipice of becoming a woman, she can show promise of beauty physically, and well might already be stunning. Odds are, with a few choice exceptions, she doesn't see herself that way. To her, her looks are normal. She'll fret over this and that to do with her looks, find herself lacking. Yet when heads starting turning, she'll note it. Her awareness is triggered by others' reaction to her.
Now that sounds like a totally positive thing. One in which she can grow confidence and esteem, an appreciation for her appearance. But it can also generate angst, especially in others' reactions. She well might internalize that those turning heads are doing so for a "flaw" not in appreciation. Guys are sometimes intimidated; and it's not at all uncommon to hear that the prettiest girl in class at school, or in college, lacks dates. That guys are reluctant to ask her out or to even approach her. Then there are those other girls who are envious and jealous and accuse the beautiful girl of being stuck up or full of herself, when the truth is she probably isn't; she's reading the unspoken, negative feelings toward her from those girls and shies away from them. She feels their rejection and reacts to it.
Get a little older and the beautiful woman, now accustomed to turning heads and long looks, stores little weight in either. What she does weigh is the irritation and frustration of proving she's not empty-headed. That she has a brain and she does use it. Many assume that because she's pretty, she's dumb, and that puts her in the position of constantly feeling as if (whether true or faulty perception) she must prove her worth. Prove that she's capable and able and skilled.
At times, she might resent her looks, downplay them, hide behind glasses or bad hair or sloppy dress. She might adopt an extremely rigid posture—using clothing or posture to camouflage her looks. She wants to be taken seriously and tells herself that when she's thirty, then people will know she's more than a pretty girl with an empty head. That her brain is not only engaged, she's bright and well able to function on her own. Depending on how intensely her mind is ignored, she can become angry, seething at the constant misperceptions—and still the guys tend to stand back because her air is as off-putting as her looks are intimidating. Assumptions abound that she's all that, and those assumptions remind others that they're not. So they avoid as a self-preservation (and rejection avoidance) mechanism.
Older still, around forty, something happens and everything changes. One day, say, she's in the airport lounge sipping a cola and having a stranger conversation with an interesting gentleman. Two young women come in and she notes she's lost the man's attention. For the first time, she is aware that she isn't holding a man's attention, and she sees him watching the young women. She notes the very moment that he gets this distant look in his eye. She's torn. Half of her is upset that she had and lost whatever it is that generates that distant look (she's very familiar with it), and half of her is relieved. Maybe now she won't feel the need to constantly prove herself.
There's a new freedom in finding oneself ordinary. Also a new vulnerability. New creases in the skin are noted, that extra five pounds of weight. The beautiful woman now either has a makeover to enhance her appearance or revels in her new found freedom from her looks. If not before, now she is aware that the outward beauty is fading, and she focuses more deeply on what remains. Inner beauty, wisdom, and the big questions in life. Mortality becomes more than a term her parents discussed. She's seeing it become relevant in her own life. That's both a blessing and a curse in her eyes because it arouses both joy and fear and dread.
Later still, she recalls that time in the airport and all the lessons she'd learned from it surprising detail. She reflects on her reactions to the experience and is either amused or dismayed. Ah, youth wasted on the young crosses her mind more than a few times. And one morning, in her quiet time where in abandon she thinks what she will, these memories tease her and quiz her: What exactly was that distant look in his eyes? What did it mean?
And finally the answer comes. When he saw the two young women, he appreciated their youth and vitality—and it triggered memories in him of his own youth. The time when he was physically in top form, turned heads, was stronger and held women's attention. It wasn't just appreciating two pretty women, though that is part of it. It was a mental reminiscing of his own life, his own youthful experiences and his reactions to them.
And the beautiful woman smiles or frowns on realizing this, depending on how she'd responded to her own fading outward beauty.
Beautiful women don't get all the breaks, they don't have all the fun, and they don't transition through life's stages unscathed. Some handle the stages well, make a relatively smooth transition from outer beauty to the beauty within—to wisdom. Some have a very bumpy road.
Whether smooth or bumpy depends largely on how the beautiful girl views herself and her worth. If she is valued as more than a pretty face from youth, odds are she'll transition those stages smoothly. If she feels all she is, is a pretty face, she's going to have a rough time. A traumatic time.
The circle of life takes its toll on us all. That's the key point to remember. That and that outer beauty fades so we'd better instill, develop, nurture other assets and from the inside out—in ourselves and in our children.
One last thing to share on this is perception. Let me illustrate. Once there was a couple. Others' immediate perceptions were that he was a really good-looking guy and she was plain and ordinary. How in the world, some would ask, did he wind up with her?
Then people got to know them. He was arrogant and overbearing. She had a sweet and gentle spirit that soothed and comforted. And soon in those who knew them a shift occurred. They wondered, How in the world did she wind up with him?
The physical perception shifted completely. He wasn't so beautiful anymore because he acted horribly. She became beautiful because of her nature. Perhaps this is the root of beauty being in the eye of the beholder?
Have you ever met someone who was gorgeous but just plain mean and you caught yourself wondering how you ever thought they were gorgeous? Or someone who didn't appear beautiful but became so as you got to know them?
Perception of beauty is a powerful thing in life and in fiction. Don't ignore it. It's often far more interesting and definitely more compelling than the physical attributes, and it can carry an enormous amount of story weight and conflict. Lots of strength there to do the story's heavy lifting—to do life's heavy lifting.
Beautiful women—beautiful people—have challenges, hang-ups, and concerns just like everyone else. Unfortunately, far too often those things aren't taken seriously . . . because the people are beautiful.
Think about that a bit. Think about struggling to be heard, understood, appreciated. Think about having to work twice as hard to be considered half as good. Think about your excellent performance surprising everyone—no one expected you capable of it because you're beautiful.
We all have internal and external challenges and conflicts. Yes, all of us. And the nature of them is what makes beautiful women (and men) tricky characters.

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. (WIVB) – A long-time eyesore that thousands of people pass every day on Grand Island could soon come back to life.
Rundra Management and Rosewood Hotels of Cheektowaga have bought the former Dunlop building on Long Road from JSJ Holdings. The building turned into a magnet for vandals and graffiti after Dunlop Tire moved out in 1993.
The new owners say the bones of this building are still solid and they'd like to fix it up instead of knocking it down.

But I've found most students can be taught to kill even a live fly using a Grand Piano. As opposed to teaching them how to pull a rabbit out of a hat (even when it's a fairly ordinary rabbit, as in the present case) .....
By the way, I don't mean to be critical of the rabbit - I love magic - it's just that most students struggle to learn it. Even when they do, they usually pull out a dead fish .....
My view, all comment welcome.

An aggregate in mathematics is defined as a "collective amount, sum, or mass arrived at by adding or putting together all components, elements, or parts of an assemblage or group without implying that the resulting total is whole." While there are many uses for aggregation in data science--examples include log aggregation, spatial aggregation, and network aggregation--it always pertains to some form of summation or collection. In this article, we'll look at the mechanics of aggregation in Apache Spark, a top-level Apache project that is popularly used for lightning-fast cluster computing.

What does observable mean?
Definitions for observableəbˈzɜr və bəl
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word observable.
Princeton's WordNet
discernible, evident, observable(adj)
capable of being seen or noticed
"a discernible change in attitude"; "a clearly evident erasure in the manuscript"; "an observable change in behavior"
Worthy of being observed; important enough to be noted or celebrated; as, an observable anniversary.
Noteworthy; remarkable.
Origin: [L. observabilis: cf. F. observable.]
Any physical property that can be observed and measured directly and not derived from other properties
Able to be observed.
Deserving to be observed.
Webster Dictionary
worthy or capable of being observed; discernible; noticeable; remarkable
Origin: [L. observabilis: cf. F. observable.]
In physics, particularly in quantum physics, a system observable is a measurable operator, or gauge, where the property of the system state can be determined by some sequence of physical operations. For example, these operations might involve submitting the system to various electromagnetic fields and eventually reading a value off some gauge. In systems governed by classical mechanics, any experimentally observable value can be shown to be given by a real-valued function on the set of all possible system states. Physically meaningful observables must also satisfy transformation laws which relate observations performed by different observers in different frames of reference. These transformation laws are automorphisms of the state space, that is bijective transformations which preserve some mathematical property.

Eilat Mazar has potentially made another astounding discovery. She has unearthed a section of an ancient city wall of Jerusalem which she believes dates from the tenth century B.C. and would have been built by King Solomon.
According to Biblical Archaeology Review, "If Professor Mazar is correct about the dating, then it would seem to support the Biblical account of Jerusalem, and Israel, as being an organized society with a strong centralized government in the 10th century B.C., the time of King Solomon."
However, there are skeptics of the dating of the wall and more analysis needs to be done to bolster Mazar's case.
Science Daily reports, "The section of the city wall revealed, 70 meters long and six meters high, is located in the area known as the Ophel, between the City of David and the southern wall of the Temple Mount. Uncovered in the city wall complex are: an inner gatehouse for access into the royal quarter of the city, a royal structure adjacent to the gatehouse, and a corner tower that overlooks a substantial section of the adjacent Kidron valley."
Mazar claims that the wall can indeed be dated to the tenth century and attributed to Solomon. She says:
A comparison of this latest finding with city walls and gates from the period of the First Temple, as well as pottery found at the site, enable us to postulate with a great degree of assurance that the wall that has been revealed is that which was built by King Solomon in Jerusalem in the latter part of the tenth century B.C.E.
This is the first time that a structure from that time has been found that may correlate with written descriptions of Solomon's building in Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that Solomon built — with the assistance of the Phoenicians, who were outstanding builders — the Temple and his new palace and surrounded them with a city, most probably connected to the more ancient wall of the City of David.
Mazar specifically cites the third chapter of the First Books of Kings where it refers to "until he (Solomon) had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about."
We'll see how this turns out, but it is certainly an exciting find.

Widely respected nature, wildlife and western-image photographer David K. Langford stands as one of the industry's most accomplished artists. By viewing photography as a form of art, Langford has generated — and continues to create — works as distinctive and memorable as the subjects he selects.
On both national and international levels, Langford has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants. He received the prestigious "People's Choice" award from the Outdoor Writers Association of America and, closer to home, consistently ranked as a Texas Outdoor Writers Association award winner. In other competitions and honors, Langford has garnered several National Addy Awards from the American Advertising Federation as well as coveted accolades from American West magazine, the Livestock Publications Council, the International Wildlife Foundation, and the Images for Conservation Fund.
Langford is also only the second person ever selected to receive the Harvey Weil Professional Conservationist Award, and has also achieved the honor of having the Images for Conservation Fund's second book dedicated to him – an exceptional honor as ICF's first book was dedicated to Lady Bird Johnson.
A prolific as well as powerful photographer, Langford has a large inventory of limited edition prints. Many of these have been exhibited in such places as: the Sportsman's Gallery in Houston, Texas; Collector's Covey in Dallas, Texas; Southwest School of Art, NanEtte Richardson Fine Art and the Witte Museum, all in San Antonio, Texas; and many more locations throughout the Southwest. Langford's most current selections are offered by two galleries in Texas: Wildgoose in Ingram and High's in Comfort. Testimony to Langford's approach to photography is for several decades he has exhibited at the renowned Western Art Show, held annually in San Antonio. He was the first photographer ever asked to exhibit in this prestigious show, which was traditionally open only to painters and sculptors.
In addition to gallery displays, Langford is also a well-published photographer. His work has appeared on the covers of and inside many issues of magazines such as Smithsonian, Outdoor Life, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Field and Stream, Texas Highways, Country, American West, The Cattleman, Sports Afield, Western Horseman, and Texas Monthly, to name only a few. And, because Langford is represented by stock photography agencies in the United States and Europe, his work has been used in calendars, books, annual reports, brochures, greeting cards, web sites, and advertisements worldwide.
In an effort to bring his vision even closer to the public, Langford occasionally offers photographic seminars and sometimes provides programs for a variety of groups and organizations. He is also a member of numerous professional organizations such as the American Society of Media Photographers and the Professional Outdoor Media Association. Moreover, he has served as a director of the Texas Nature Tourism Association, and as a trustee of the San Antonio Art League and the Southwest School of Art. Langford was appointed by two Texas Governors as a member of the Texas Agricultural Resources Protection Authority, and the Environmental Flows Advisory Committee.
Langford served as Executive Vice President of the Texas Wildlife Association from 1990 until his retirement in 2002, and still serves as TWA's Vice President Emeritus. In 2013, he received the Ray Murski Friend of Wildlife Award, TWA's most prestigious honor, recognizing his years of selfless service on behalf of Texas wildlife and private land stewards.
Additionally Langford serves on the advisory board of the Hill Country Alliance, and served on the board of the Sand County Foundation, which continues to impart the messages of Aldo Leopold's land ethic to all generations.
In other contributions to furthering the missions and pleasures of photography, Langford occasionally accepts assignments, and his associates, family, and friends have helped launch a nature photography destination industry. To capture the impressions for which he is noted, Langford actively explores his environment. For a few special clients, Langford continues to generate timeless images of the natural world around us.
Langford and his wife Myrna live on their family's six-generation ranch between Comfort and Fredericksburg. They have two children, and their families, which include four grandchildren.

4) Computer History Museum in Mountain View
Computer History Museum Presents The History of Computer Chess: An AI Perspective In Conjunction with New Exhibit,
Mastering The Game: A History of Computer Chess
Evening presentation to highlight origin and development of computer chess and what it tells us about society and the machines humans build
(AUGUST 14, 2005) MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF.-The Computer History Museum, the world's largest museum dedicated to preserving and presenting the artifacts and stories of the information age, will host Computer History Museum Presents: The History of Computer Chess: An AI Perspective, 7 p.m., September 8, at the Computer History Museum, 1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, Calif.
This special presentation, produced in conjunction with the opening of the Museum's newest exhibit, Mastering The Game: A History of Computer Chess, will feature Murray Campbell, Deep Blue project member, International Business Machines (IBM); Edward Feigenbaum, a Stanford artificial intelligence researcher; David Levy, International Computer Games Association, and John McCarthy, professor, Stanford University. The evening presentation will be moderated by Monty Newborn, professor, McGill University and organizer, ACM Computer Chess Championships (1970-1991). This panel, made up of AI's leading pioneers will discuss for the first time in the same room the origin and development of computer chess and what it tells us about ourselves and the machines we build.
According to Dag Spicer, senior curator at the Computer History Museum, this panel will look at the source and expansion of computer chess and what it tells us about ourselves and the technology we develop. Does playing chess require thinking, or can thinking be approximated by that of a computer? "As a human activity, chess is believed to require 'thinking,' yet in 1997 a massively-parallel supercomputer, drawing on over four decades of continual advances in both hardware and software, defeated the best human player in the world," Spicer said.
The event is presented in conjunction with the debut of Mastering The Game: A History of Computer Chess. This 1,000 square foot exhibit will follow a chronological plan, from the theoretical foundations developed by such computing pioneers as Alan Turing and Claude Shannon, to the development of PC chess software and the drama of IBM's chess-playing supercomputer, Deep Blue. Using chess as an entree, visitors can explore important software and other traditionally challenging topics to explain. The physical exhibit is supplemented with an online version of Mastering the Game: A History of Computer Chess that provides access to information made available in the physical exhibit as well as other content, such as original source materials, links to complementary organizations and computer chess stories shared by online visitors. Sponsors of the exhibit include Target and Ropes & Gray LLP.
Reservations are required to attend Computer History Museum Presents: The History of Computer Chess: An AI Perspective. The presentation is free, with a suggested donation of $10 for non-members. The lecture starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. A reception will be held at 6:00 p.m. for invited guests and Computer History Museum members.

5) Russian press analyses disaster in Goteborg
The following story first appeared in the Russian newspaper Kommersant on August 9.
Russian Chess Doesn't Make Any Moves by Alexey Dospekhov
The European Team Championship in Goteborg, Sweden, has ended up in the most crushing defeat for Russians in their chess history. The women's team at least made it to the top three, while the men landed only at the 14th place.
The results of the European Championships can't but cause surprise with those who keep up with the chess news and know that Soviet and Russian teams have rarely lost team competitions and if they did they at least won medals. The last year's Chess Olympics in Spain was perhaps the worst performance of the team ever: none of the two teams won, the men's finished second, the women's - third. However, the Russian team outdid all other countries on aggregate and the topic of the Russian chess crisis never came up. It can be voiced now, though, since the failure of the men's team is too apparent.
Chief executive of the Russian Chess Federation Alexander Bakh said in an interview with Kommersant yesterday he could not make it out for himself what had happened in Sweden. "We need to look into it thoroughly because even the third place of the women's team, even considering their young age, can by no means be called a success... I can only say that it is hardy a matter of coach's miscounts or blunders in training. Miscounts occur only when the first place slips through your fingers because of some circumstances. But when the team ends up 14th - that's another thing," he said.
Alexander Bakh added that the Russians would have a chance to make up for the Swedish failure this fall. The World Team Championship starts in Israel October 31, and the team composition promises to be stronger that in Goeteborg, according to preliminary reports. Famous Grand Masters Alexander Grishchyuk and Alexander Morozevich, who missed the Goeteborg championship, gave their consent to play for Russia. However, even without them, the two Russian teams (men: Pyotr Svidler, Alexey Dreev, Alexander Motylev, Evgeny Bareev and Artem Timofeev; women: Alexanra Kostnyuk, Nadezhda and Tatyana Kosintsevs, Ekaterina Kovalevskaya and Alisa Gallyamova) surpassed their rivals, and quite noticeably.
Leading chess experts have already concluded that causes of the defeat are far deeply rooted than in the team's composition. International Grand Master Yury Razuvaev, who coached the Soviet and Russian national team for many years and won with them many international competitions, including World Chess Olympics, gave a number of examples from his own work. "At the 1980 European Championship, Garry Kasparov made his debut at my team where then World Champion Anatoly Karpov played the fist chess-board. It was a debut of a 16-year-old. At the 1992 Olympics, great Kasparov played the first board for the team with a very young Vladimir Kramnik who had just made a debut... It was our tradition that the national team was made up of outstanding champions and young up-and-comers, who soon became great Grand Masters themselves as gleaned experience and got more self-confident. The link between the generations is now broken. It is other teams that put now into practice our ideas with seemingly better resources, for example Ukraine. Young Sergey Karyakin and Yury Kuguzov played for the team at the Championship in Sweden alongside famous Vasily Ivanchyuk. The team ranked only 5th but it is not a flop anyway, especially if you consider the fact that they mainly aimed at preparing the team for future events."
Legendary Boris Spassky, 10th World Champion, is of the same view. "I think the ranks our teams occupied at the European Championship do reflect the real state of the Russian chess," he said. "I mean the situation with children chess, which I tried and paid much attention as the editor-in-chief of Shakhmatnaya Nedelya [Chess Week]. It is really true that we have fewer talented chess players now, especially boys: the case with girls is a bit better. What's the reason? We can certainly say that we are short of money. But anyway, I am convinced that one should not lose heart. We have only one way out: the older generation should pass on its experience to the youth. For example, I have a chess school in Urals, I also run a project in Orel... We need that everyone interested boost the chess together, not on their own."

Full text of President's address (as prepared)
Sacramento State continues to Redefine the Possible – as the campus-wide initiative states – in innovative ways as California's economy recovers from the recession, President Alexander Gonzalez said Thursday in his Spring Address to faculty, staff and special guests, including incoming Provost Frederika "Fraka" Harmsen.
Gov. Jerry Brown's recently proposed 2014-15 budget for the California State University's 23 campuses is generally favorable because it once again freezes tuition fees at current levels, Gonzalez said. And the $142 million increase to the general fund is "in line with what we were expecting."
However, the President noted, the state's long-term plan calls for moving away from funding higher education based on enrollment targets and instead puts an emphasis on affordability, completion rates, greater numbers of transfers from community colleges and time-to-degree.
"The message here is clear," Gonzalez said. "As educators who have to plan for the current and future needs of our students and California's workforce, we should be thankful for the promise of stability. But we also must change. I can report that Chancellor (Timothy P.) White has acknowledged the need for change, as well."
In many ways, Gonzalez said, "we have already begun to make these changes."
For example, by this fall, Sac State will be in compliance with the CSU's 120-unit threshold for all programs, which previously required between 121 and 129 units, and although hiring levels are "not where we'd like," he said, more than 40 new faculty members will come on board this fall.

The Tennessee Titans and the agent for defensive tackle Tony Brown continue to negotiate a long-term extension, but might not have it completed by Friday's deadline for free agency.
Agent Martin Magid met with Titans senior director of football administration Vin Marino on Friday evening at the NFL Combine to discuss contract negotiations. Magid indicated in a text message that a deal might not be done before Friday's deadline.
Brown is scheduled to be a restricted free agent with five accrued seasons, and because he entered the league as an undrafted free agent, the Titans will likely have to put either a first or second-round tender on Brown, who is coming off a career-high five sacks and had three forced fumbles this year.
The first-round tender is worth $2.621 million, while the second-round tender is for $1.809 million.
After bouncing around the league, spending short stints with the Carolina Panthers (twice), the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins, Brown joined the Titans in 2006 during the time Albert Haynesworth was serving a five-game suspension.
Brown then became a starter at left defensive tackle in 2007 and moved to right defensive tackle last season after Haynesworth departed as a free agent.
Who cares Tony Brown, with out Haynesworth, became a nobody! Just like Kyle Vanden Bosch, they didn't have the same force they used too when big #92 was in da house. I say Jacob Ford, Jason Jones and William Hayes are ready to step up now!! We just need a couple of vets to help in the D line and will be set. Hopefully we can go DE on the first round or DT!!
TitansFan, please re-read the article. Tony Brown had his best year last season. Though he will likely never be the Defensive Player of the Year, Brown is an important and integral part of our defensive line.
TitansFan, please re-read the article. Tony Brown had his best year last season. Though he will likely never be the Defensive Player of the Year, Brown is an important and integral part of our defensive line.
If my memory serves me correctly all Tony Brown did las year was jump off sides constantly! Not taking anything from him but there is better outhere guaranteed!

The Rural Electrification Fund (REF) has constructed and commissioned 18 institutional biogas digesters at rural boarding schools and mission hospitals in 2015.The projects were part of the fund's mandate to avail affordable and environmentally friendly energy to rural Zimbabwe.The benefiting institutions are using gas produced from the digesters mainly for cooking and water heating.
Officiating at the commissioning of the 100 m3 biogas digester at Mtshabezi High School in Gwanda, Energy and Power Development Secretary Mr Patson Mbiriri said unlike other forms of energy, biogas was cheaper and affordable to disadvantaged communities.
"Ladies and gentlemen many people are not aware of the vast potential presented by biogas technology to solve energy problems encountered in both urban and rural communities," he said.
He said Zimbabwe had power challenges with hydroelectric and thermal power generation sources failing to sustain its requirements, hence the need to embrace biogas and other renewable energy technologies.
"I would like to urge schools, clinics, other Government institutions and rural households to take advantage of the technology and raise their standard of living through maximum utilisation of the biogas energy," he said.
Mr Mbiriri said energy provision will lead to the economic empowerment of rural communities, poverty alleviation, capacity building and employment creation in rural communities in Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile, Energy and Power Development Deputy Minister Tsitsi Muzenda said Government recognised the importance of energy as a vehicle for economic and social development.
She was addressing scores of villagers who gathered at St Albert's Mission Hospital to witness the commissioning of a biogas digester constructed by the Rural Electrification Fund.
Deputy Minister Mzenda encouraged public institutions and villagers to exploit the technology.
"It is low cost clean energy option which can be used for lighting, cooking and heating, while on a large scale biogas technology can be used for electricity generation.
"Other benefits of the technology include reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, waste management and production of rich organic fertiliser for agricultural purposes," she said.

Valentine's Day, also known as singles awareness day, is right around the corner.
If you find yourself dreading the upcoming holiday because you don't have a boo – or if you're tired of everyone asking when you'll have one – there's a new app that might be able to help (or at least get some folks off your back).
The Invisible Boyfriend app actually puts together a custom faux boyfriend for you – and claims you will look like you have a real one after it does.
Here's how it works: You design your own boyfriend, specifying what you're looking for in a guy physically, then you choose a pic of someone you're attracted to on site, and pick his age, name and personality.
The app even goes so far as to create the story of how you met. All you do is fill in the blanks. For example, "We met in a bar called (name of bar) in (name of city). I saw you (what he was doing) and I decided to introduce myself. We ordered a round of (name of drink) and ended up (what you did ) the whole night."
You can even text your invisible boyfriend and he'll text right back. For a monthly fee of about $25 bucks, the Invisible boyfriend will send "100 text messages, 10 voicemails and one postcard," all coming from a real human, not a robot, according to USA Today.
Here are some the texts you might get, according to the New Yorker."Good morning, gorgeous!," "You're so beautiful when you're sleeping," and "Maybe that spotless kitchen will put me back in your good books!"
Wait a minute...this guy cooks and cleans? Sign us up. And don't worry fellas, the app also creates an Invisible Girlfriend too.

The Impact of the Wall Street Bailout on Bank Deposit InsuranceOctober 2008 – Alerts Focus on Banking Advisory
The traditional United States financial underpinnings have been upended by unprecedented events in the credit and equity markets that began several weeks ago and continue to unfold as this article goes to press. As the final details of the bailout bill emerge (officially known as the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008"), it is an especially appropriate time for you to review your banking relationships as you begin to assess the effect of theWall Street meltdown on your overall financial health and liquidity.
As the nation anxiously anticipates the new financial paradigm, a few questions may be on your mind relating to the impact of the bailout on the security of your bank deposits.
What is FDIC Insurance? The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a corporation chartered by the federal government pursuant to its powers under the Glass-Steagall Act which was enacted in 1933 in the wake of the Great Depression. Among its other functions, the FDIC insures accounts held by depositors in FDIC-member banks.
What accounts are covered? The FDIC takes a broad view of the meaning of the term "deposit."This term includes, among other types of accounts, all manner and type of savings accounts, checking accounts, demand deposits, money market deposit accounts (although not money market mutual funds), time deposits, certificates of deposit, cashier's checks, certified checks, escrow funds, trust funds and letters of credit.
What accounts are not covered? Stocks, bonds, mutual funds (including money market mutual funds) and other products in the nature of securities are not covered by FDIC insurance. 1 These assets, if held by a customer at a financially troubled brokerage firm, are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). It is important to recognize that SIPC protection does not work the same way as FDIC insurance in terms of blanket protection of losses. While SIPC protection is beyond the scope of this client alert, its essence is that investors will be protected against the credit risk of the brokerage firm with whom the custodial and fiduciary relationships are maintained. Investors will remain at risk for the underlying solvency and creditworthiness of the issuer of the securities in which they have invested.
How much will the FDIC cover? Most people are familiar with the FDIC's basic coverage limit of $100,000 per depositor.This amount was increased temporarily (through December 31, 2009) to $250,000 with Congress' enactment of the bailout bill. However, the basic coverage limit is only the starting point for determining actual coverage. Individual depositors may obtain substantially more than the basic per depositor coverage limit if they understand how to structure their accounts across various ownership categories that the FDIC recognizes as separately insurable, including, among others, jointly-owned accounts, trust accounts, IRAs and deferred compensation plans. 2
For example, if Anthony has $100,000 in an individual account and, together with his wife Cleo they have $200,000 in a jointly-titled account, the couple will have obtained coverage of the entire $300,000. Anthony will enjoy $200,000 of coverage representing full insurance on his individual account plus another $100,000 which insures his portion of the joint account. Similarly, the couple's insurance will include any additional amount (up to $100,000) held in an individual account in Cleo's name.
Separate coverage of up to an additional $250,000 per depositor is available for individual retirement accounts and eligible deferred compensation plan interests. If appropriately structured trust accounts are included, a family or other group of related depositors might accumulate significantly in excess of $1 million in insurable depository accounts.
Are accounts held at separate banks by one depositor separately insured? Yes. If the banks are FDIC-insured depository institutions, accounts held by a single depositor in separate banks will be separately insured even if the banks are under common ownership by the same holding company.Many financial institutions are now promoting an investment strategy whereby the institution opens accounts in multiple banks for the same depositor to take advantage of the separate insurance limits for each bank account. For example, Sam deposits $1 million with financial institution "X". Institution "X", in turn, opens separate accounts in Sam's name in 10 different FDIC insured banks and deposits $100,000 in each account. Sam now has total insured deposits of $1 million.
When will multiple accounts held at the same bank be combined for coverage purposes? Under the law, the FDIC will aggregate all deposits which are maintained by a depositor "in the same capacity and the same right" regardless of how the accounts are titled. The FDIC will look to the beneficiaries, not merely the type of account or the name on the account, in determining what amount of coverage applies.
Consider the following example. Dad opens a $25,000 account "in trust for" son. Mom wins $100,000 in the lottery and puts the lottery proceeds in a certificate of deposit "in trust for" son. Since son is the sole beneficiary of each account, the two accounts will be combined and son will have maximum coverage of only $100,000.
How does the FDIC treat trust accounts for purposes of deposit insurance? Trust accounts may be insurable separately from, and in addition to, other insured deposit accounts. In the previous example, if Mom and Dad had created a traditional trust account where they maintained joint control during their lives, to be passed to son upon the last to die, then the entire $125,000 would have been covered because the FDIC regulations provide that certain trust accounts are insurable up to $100,000 per trust creator per beneficiary.
Can the FDIC offset insured deposits against loan obligations owed to the bank? Many clients maintain their primary depository accounts at the same banks where they have a borrowing relationship. This can occur by virtue of enforceable covenants in the loan documents themselves or simply as a matter of mere convenience. In either case, clients should be aware that the FDIC only covers "insured deposits" which is the net amount due to any depositor for amounts in an insured institution. The FDIC may withhold payment of deposits to the extent necessary to provide for the payment of any obligation the depositor owes to the bank if that obligation is in default. Even though the FDIC's right of offset is limited to defaulted obligations, if loan balances exceed the amount of deposits, clients may be safer if their accounts are maintained at separate institutions from those where the primary borrowing relationship is maintained.
Can a depositor offset loans against deposits? Occasionally clients are in a situation where deposit balances exceed loan obligations outstanding and also exceed FDIC insurance coverage limits. In this context, the question arises whether the depositor can seek to offset deposits against outstanding loan balances to bring deposits within insurance limits. While there is no such right expressly written into federal law in favor of depositors, applicable state law may provide such a right.
What should you do? These scenarios are merely a few among the myriad possible circumstances that can arise. They are intended to illustrate the complexity inherent in the FDIC insurance regulatory framework. For clients that maintain substantial balances in FDICinsured depository institutions, we recommend that you contact your legal and financial advisors to conduct a thorough review of your holdings.Only a careful analysis of the structure and interrelationship of all accounts will yield valid conclusions regarding the scope of deposit insurance coverage.
For more information about this issue, contact David Jaffe at [email protected] or 412.391.6410.
1 - On September 19, 2008, the U.S.Treasury Department announced a temporary guaranty program that will insure the holdings of certain money market mutual funds for up to $50 billion backed by the assets of the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
2 - The examples assume that the standard maximum deposit insurance amount in effect is $100,000. Until final regulations are written regarding the bailout bill, it is unclear whether the increased maximum of $250,000 will apply in all cases.
