Gene Taylor landed in Chicago on Monday for two days of Summit League meetings. The North Dakota State athletics director and his colleagues have a lot to talk about.
On Sunday, the Big Ten's chancellors threw their weight behind NCAA reform that would drastically alter the face of college athletics, mostly by allowing the five wealthiest conferences — the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC — to set themselves new rules.
They're calling it "autonomy," and it's already drawing the ire of many, including Boise State president Bob Kustra, who wrote and distributed a scathing letter to media outlets after Pac-12 presidents on May 22 released their recommendations for 10 rules adjustments specifically tailored to the titans of college sports.
But Taylor said Monday he's not inclined to get in the way of the Power 5 and their 65 schools, which want to be able to shape NCAA rules that, essentially, affect the big-time football schools — from the amount of money a scholarship is worth, to changes in how players are treated medically and allowed to deal with agents.
"It's pretty simple from our perspective," Taylor said. "We don't mind autonomy or how they spend their money, as long as they protect two things. One, don't mess with 85 (football) scholarships. … And two, we want equal access to championships like we've always had, and to keep the (championship) revenue distribution the same."
But Taylor acknowledged that the Summit League, an eight-school conference with no teams playing in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision, is in better position than most outside the Power 5 enclave. The Bison have won three straight Football Championship Subdivision (FBC) titles but aren't competing with, say, Oklahoma for players or TV time. In football, they have 22 fewer scholarships — 63 to an FBS school's 85 — and compete for a different national title.
It's teams such as Miami (Ohio) in the MAC, or Boise State in the Mountain West, that could find themselves unable to keep up. Would Ben Roethlisberger have gone to Miami if the RedHawks weren't able to offer the same benefits as a Power 5 school?
"That's the trouble that the FBS boys are in, if they really think they are recruiting against Ohio State," Taylor said. "Because they do give 85 scholarships. They're going to try to keep as close as they can to the BCS schools, and the BCS schools are saying, 'This is what we're doing. If you want to be part of it, fine.' "
In other words, the price of admission to big-time football would be raised by the schools that can most afford it.
But autonomy, the NCAA says, is really about improving the college experience of student-athletes.
"The 'student-athlete welfare,' as we call it," Minnesota athletics director Norwood Teague said Monday. "We've always got to re-evaluate where we are, how we serve our kids, and this is a good time to do it. It's a good re-adjustment."
Details are scarce, though the Pac-12's 10 recommendations (see chart) provide a basic outline. They include: scholarships for the 'full cost of attendance,' which would include a stipend for incidental expenses; long-term medical care and/or insurance for debilitating injuries; liberalizing transfer rules; and guaranteeing scholarships while an athlete makes reasonable progress toward a degree.
According to an NCAA Steering Committee report, the rules would fall under "permissive legislation," meaning the Power 5 conferences would require them, and everyone else could follow them if they choose. Taylor said, for instance, that North Dakota State might supply NCAA tournament tickets to team family members if that were allowed. Some schools might choose to offer travel to family members if those rules were loosened.
But those changes require money. Consider that according to a 2013 USA Today study, only 23 of 228 athletics departments at the nation's Division I public schools generated enough money on their own to cover their expenses in 2012.
How would a mid-major trying to compete in big-time football — Central Florida beat heavily favored Baylor 52-42 in last season's Fiesta Bowl — keep up? More fund-raising? Cutting a sport?
"Those are the decisions that would need to be made at individual schools," Taylor said. "Do the athletes benefit? Absolutely. Do costs go up? Absolutely. Even within the BCS schools there are haves and have-nots. All of the sudden, now even Ohio State has more advantages."
According to USA Today, Ohio State's $124.4 million athletics budget ranks second only to that of Texas ($138.2 million) and is more than $40 million higher than Minnesota's ($83.6). The Big Ten this season is expected to share $27 million in revenue with each of its schools from sources such as TV contracts and championships.
In his letter criticizing the Pac-12's recommendations, Boise State's Kustra wrote, "If they have the resources to outspend their Division I colleagues with fewer resources, then why not fix the NCAA rules to do so?"
Teague came to Minnesota from Virginia Commonwealth University, a mid-major without a football team, and was asked how the VCU Teague might view autonomy.
"I guess I'd feel probably a lot like I do now; there are a lot of ideas out there," he said. "I think it will help the student-athlete experience, in theory, by the things that we're talking about. But as far as autonomy and as it relates to that, I've got to see a lot more about where this is going to land before I know what the difference will be for somewhere like here and a mid-major."
In their letter, Pac-12 presidents said "we need not have every last detail worked out" to move forward. And in a release Sunday, the Big Ten said that most of the Pac-12's objectives "have long been supported" by the conference.
But questions to be answered are legion: Which student-athletes would be affected? Will it fly through federal Title IX laws relating to equal opportunity? How will schools — most of which are struggling to keep up with what former NCAA president Myles Brand called "the arms race" of college athletics — pay for it?
"It's really in the early stages right now," Teague said. "I know this release has been out, and it definitely shows there's been a lot of activity, but as far as the details, we're not at that point yet."
One thing seems certain: The Power 5 conferences are serious. With lawsuits growing — video game company Electronic Arts is ready to settle with NCAA players whose likenesses it used — and the threat of player unionization recently raised by a group Northwestern players, time is of the essence.
During SEC meetings last week in Florida, conference commissioner Mike Slive told reporters that if the NCAA doesn't approve the Power 5 recommendations by August, those conferences "will want to move toward a Division IV."
Slive was quick to add that's not anyone's intention, but a threat is a threat, and creating a new NCAA division would change much, from the wildly popular NCAA tournament, a strictly Division I affair, to immediately bumping all other conferences down a notch — at least in terms of perception.
That's exactly what North Dakota State's Taylor doesn't want to see, and doesn't think will happen. The Bison were briefly the darling of college basketball last March after beating Oklahoma in the NCAA tournament, the kind of upset that fans love and reaps PR and fund-raising benefits for the winner.
"That's what we don't want to lose, and they don't either," Taylor said. "They understand that draws interest; they don't want to mess with it."
The question is, can they keep that while messing with nearly everything else?

THE POWER 5's 10 RULE CHANGES
On May 22, Pac-12 presidents recommended 10 rules changes for the nation's power conferences, most of which "have long been supported by the Big Ten" and were strongly endorsed by the SEC during conference meetings last week. They include:
1. Scholarship awards up to the full cost of attendance.
2. Reasonable ongoing medical or insurance assistance for student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury in competition or practice.
3. Guaranteed scholarships for enough time to complete a bachelor's degree.
4. Decreased time demands placed on the student-athlete in-season.
5. Reduced out-of-season competition and practices.
6. Strengthened Academic Progress Rate requirements for postseason play.
7. Addressing the "one and done" phenomenon in men's basketball, including possibly restoring the freshman ineligibility rule.
8. Provide student-athletes a meaningful role in governance at conference and NCAA levels.
9. Adjusted restrictions so that student-athletes preparing for the next stage in their careers are not unnecessarily deprived of the advice and counsel of agents and other competent professionals.
10. Liberalized transfer rules.

|Hobgoblin (Humanoid)
|3 - 6
|Alliance Horde
|Bilgewater Cartel
|Kezan, Lost Isles
Gobber is a hobgoblin. He is somewhat of an anomaly among hobgoblins. He has an almost meek personality (at one point cowering from a fight), high intelligence (for a hobgoblin), friendliness, and banking skills. Gobber is very loyal to the player's character and was the only hobgoblin on the Lost Isles to side against Trade Prince Gallywix. According to Garrosh the hobgoblin has an unpleasant odor. His red skin color is somewhat unique too as most hobgoblins have a purple or whitish pallor.
He first appears among the players friends in the quest "Rolling with my Homies." He is also stranded on the Lost Isles with the player and acts as the bank on the Lost Isles.
He is eventually captured in the Gallywix Labor Mine with Ace and Izzy. Gobber is eventually freed with the others in the quest "Morale Boost" after being given some [Kaja'Cola Zero-One].
After Gallywix was subdued and the goblins started their move to Azshara, Gobber was found wandering around in Orgrimmar. When the player meets Garrosh to give him a message, the new Warchief asks them to take Gobber along with you as seems to recognize you.
As a Racial
After talking to Garrosh Hellscream the player can summon Gobber whenever they like and access their bank through him.

Further review: At $7.2 million, home of this Brave not exactly free
Updated 6:41 am, Monday, January 7, 2013
What, no tomahawk chopping block in the kitchen?
An 18-hole golf course, a fishing pond, sports courts and ballfields are among the amenities on the 22-acre manor in Milton, Ga., that ex-Braves pitcher John Smoltz is trying to sell for $7.2 million, Realtor.com reported.
Act now, and they'll even throw in the Leo Mazzone living-room rocker.
At SportsPickle.com: "Report: NHL owners and players still not in agreement on when next lockout should be."
Need a loaner?
Congress avoided driving over the fiscal cliff with an 11th-hour agreement last week.
"Hey, if you guys don't need that clown car," asked one NHL negotiator, "mind if we borrow it?"
Bowlish on brainiacs
Northwestern won its first bowl game in 64 years and Stanford won its first Rose Bowl in 41.
Or, as Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald put it: "I think it's just nice to see students from Stanford and Northwestern excelling outside of college week on 'Jeopardy!'"
Out with the Tide
Alabama coach Nick Saban sent two reserve linebackers home from the BCS Championship Game preparations because he caught them:
a) Out after curfew.
b) In a library.
Hold that line
"So you have a 9-7 record and you go on to win the Super Bowl. The next year you have a 9-7 record and you don't make the playoffs," wrote Len Berman of ThatsSports.com. "They say it's a fine line between winning and losing. There's no better proof than the New York Giants."
Talko time
Soft-tossing pitcher Jamie Moyer, 50, to Sports Illustrated, when asked to recall the last time he intentionally hit a batter: "Maybe in the minor leagues. With my velocity, they would pick it up and say, 'Hey, you dropped something.'"
Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on the NFL Pro Bowl: "That's the game players are thrilled to be chosen for, but then schedule hangnail surgery and bad hair days to avoid actually playing in."
One long rein delay
Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, 49, is returning to the saddle after a seven-year "retirement."
In keeping with the theme, he's limiting all his early rides to old gray mares.

Basically, since sources.list is a configuration file belonging to apt, your package may only edit it in postinst if apt provides commands for doing so. I don't think apt does that, but I could be wrong. With regards to the life of a sysadmin, don't do it. Changing sources.list will surprise a lot of people, and can cause bad things to happen, for example higher network bills because the wrong mirror is used. Provide a README.Debian that tells what needs to be done, and possibly provide a command to do it easily. -- It's 1978! Things should be round by now -- Michael Kelso (That 70's show)


text: None of the characters speak out loud, so there is no voicework to listen to. The background music sounds like a typical RPG. It's nothing special, but it isn't distracting either. It also never changes based on what is happening in the game, so you aren't going to be able to tell just by the music that a large enemy or object is coming up.

Some novels put the quirky charm front and center and try to win the reader over too quickly, but Gill Hornby's All Together Now plays it cool in that stiff-upper-lip, British, deadpan way. The author wins over the jaded reader with irony, wit, humor, and a bit of pathos before getting the feel-good vibes really going.
The suburban, commuter village of Bridgeford is losing its small-town charm and identity to chains, superstores, and outside developers. At the same time, the members of this novel's ensemble cast find themselves individually in flux – whether by their children growing into independent adults; their unhappy spouses asking for divorces; or their employers making them redundant. As a reader, I rooted for caustic Tracey, steady Lewis, do-gooder Annie, and bemused Bennett, while also seeing their annoying sides and sometimes wanting to shake them – because that's what you do when you fall in love with a story and its characters!
The title comes from the Bridgeford community choral group that Lewis and Annie are in, which needs an influx of new voices and enthusiastic support to keep it from dying the death from attrition that seems imminent. Enthusiasm is in extremely short supply, but most of the characters are overflowing with guilt and self-reproach, so that works almost as well to keep them coming to rehearsals.
The author (wife of novelist Robert Harris and sister of novelist Nick Hornby) focuses on the personalities and drama within the community chorus/choir, much as she did with a group of school mothers in her first novel, The Hive. The St. Ambrose School and a couple of characters from The Hive make cameo appearances here, but this isn't a sequel or even really a companion novel.
If you like novels by Anne Tyler, Ann Leary, Rachel Joyce, JoJo Moyes, and other wry observers of human nature you will enjoy spending time with the good (and not-so-good) people of Bridgeford.

What does collegiality mean?
Definitions for collegialitykəˌli dʒiˈæl ɪ ti, -gi-
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word collegiality.
power and authority that is shared among peers, especially the sharing of collegiate power among Roman Catholic bishops.
Collegiality is the relationship between colleagues. Colleagues are those explicitly united in a common purpose and respecting each other's abilities to work toward that purpose. A colleague is an associate in a profession or in a civil or ecclesiastical office. Thus, the word collegiality can connote respect for another's commitment to the common purpose and ability to work toward it. In a narrower sense, members of the faculty of a university or college are each other's colleagues; very often the word is taken to mean that. Sometimes colleague is taken to mean a fellow member of the same profession. The word college is sometimes used in a broad sense to mean a group of colleagues united in a common purpose, and used in proper names, such as Electoral College, College of Cardinals, College of Pontiffs. Sociologists of organizations use the word collegiality in a technical sense, to create a contrast with the concept of bureaucracy. Classical authors such as Max Weber consider collegiality as an organizational device used by autocrats to prevent experts and professionals from challenging monocratic and sometimes arbitrary powers. More recently, authors such as Eliot Freidson, Malcolm Waters and Emmanuel Lazega have shown that collegiality can now be understood as a full fledged organizational form. This is especially useful to account for coordination in knowledge intensive organizations in which interdependent members jointly perform non routine tasks -an increasingly frequent form of coordination in knowledge economies. A specific social discipline comes attached to this organizational form, a discipline described in terms of niche seeking, status competition, lateral control, and power among peers in corporate law partnerships, in dioceses, in scientific laboratories, etc. This view of collegiality is obviously very different from the ideology of collegiality stressing mainly trust and sharing in the collegium.
Chaldean Numerology
The numerical value of collegiality in Chaldean Numerology is: 8

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
I want to thank my fellow judges across the country, judging is sometimes a lonely and hard job, but I have seen how these men and women work with courage and collegiality, independence and integrity. Their work helps make the promises of our Constitution and laws real for us all.
For sheer compatibility, collegiality and competence in terms of grasping the nuances of what has to be done in health policy, I can't think of a better candidate, he's best understood by his legislative record, he is author of a lot of amendments and bills, but especially the Empowering Patients First Act, because it's a highly detailed legislative proposal.

A Good Day to be in Madeira
Monday, 15 June 2009 by Jonboy Kelmer
Today was a good day to be in Madeira. Not so much for the weather, but for the fishingindeed. This morning we woke up to unseasonably windy conditions for June in Madeira. Although the wind and seas were up, we still went looking for a blue due to the recent abundance of activity in that department for the fleet. In the last 4 days there have been on the average, 8 fish seen for the fleet. Now 8 may not sound like many, but when the average size is 700 lbs. it's worth going every day you can. Leaving the harbor the wind was blowing 15 to 20 kts from the NW so off to the east we went. Setting out in 100 fathoms we realized that 4 lines were all we could troll for fear of tangles on the turns due to the windy conditions. After a few hours of trolling the wind had increased but already there had been one fish caught and another lost so things weren't looking so bad, a few tacks later on the way down sea we got our shot.
Melton Tackle Customer Chip Wagner puts the wood to an estimated 650 lb. Madeiran Blue Marlin
Tracy Epstein takes the hook out of this beautiful Madeiran Blue Marlin
The fish showed first on the left teaser, a Marlin Magic XXL Ruckus, which it tried to devour on several attempts. Luckily I was able to pull the teaser away, which prompted the fish to turn around and eat the Marlin Magic Super Dog on the left short. The bite was ferocious from the inside out after which the fish proceeded to jump about 30 times throughout the spread and alongside the boat as we turned to chase. After the immediate air show, the fish dove deep and made us work for the rest of the fight. After 45 minutes we were able to get the fish alongside where we got some good pics, removed the hooks and sent her on her way with high fives all around. A great job was done by my crew and angler to make the best of some adverse fishing conditions. Right now there seems to be a good sign of fish here that are mostly in the 500 to 700 lb. range. The fish for us today measured out to be around 650 lbs and will be bigger next time around.
Bom dia and good fishing,
Capt. Jonboy Kelmer.

The theme of Part Three is professionalism and best practices (mostly for writers and bloggers, but the tips are applicable to any tweeter.)
As I discussed in the previous two posts (part one & part two), Twitter is a powerful tool. So powerful, in fact, you're making impressions in ways you might not realize–sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. With that in mind, it's important to remember:
1. EVERY TWEET REPRESENTS YOU: Even people without Twitter accounts can see your tweets when they Google your name and click on your Twitter profile. Think potential literary agents, editors, readers, employers, and your mother-in-law. Of course if you choose to "protect" your tweets that's not the case, but I caution against it. Protected tweets are right for some people, but not for those of you trying to gain a following of book buyers, blog readers, etc.
2. AUTHENTICITY VS. TMI: Whatever you do, be genuine. Don't be afraid of honesty, humor, and all the good stuff that makes you follow other people. But remember, Twitter isn't your journal. There is such a thing as too much information and tweeting too often.
Here's a good example of too much honesty: Literary agent, Janet Reid, wrote a post warning writers not to tweet or blog about the query process when they're right in the middle of it. I couldn't agree more. Why would you want to advertise your rejections while other agents have your manuscript?
3. DON'T BE A DIVA: Part A. Unless you're Jennifer Weiner, Jodi Picoult, or Judy Blume, you have to follow some people back. I'm not saying you have to follow everyone. I certainly don't. But if someone seems like a genuine reader, fellow writer (no matter what stage in the publishing process), fellow blogger, and an honest to goodness fan who doesn't overtweet, I don't see why you wouldn't follow back. You can still be discerning. I tend not to follow people back who constantly complain, people who constantly write public tweets that should be @replies (more on that in Part IV), and people who are selling a product all of the time. (That includes authors who tweet about their books and nothing else, as well as bloggers who push the same post 15 times a day.)
Making lists will help you organize your followers as you go along so you're not overwhelmed by an absurd amount of tweets. I wrote about the how and why of lists in my previous Twitter Tips post.
4. DON'T BE A DIVA: Part B. The follow back issue is negotiable. What's not negotiable is responding to people who talk to you on Twitter. If you have 10,000+ followers, you obviously can't respond to everyone. At least make it a point to respond to various people from time to time rather than only focusing on your friends (blogging friends, author friends, etc.) This relates closely to #5.
5. KEEP YOUR GOALS IN MIND: Do you ever hear people say Twitter is cliquey? If you're on Twitter to sell books or attract readers to your blog, you simply can't afford to spend ALL of your Twitter time chatting with the same handful of people all the time. If you only want to interact with your real life author friends or the virtual friends you met when you started blogging, then Twitter might not be the best venue for increasing your blog audience or your book sales. (Back to Facebook for YOU!)
As always, I hope this post was helpful! Happy Tweeting, Nina

Trade Stocks Based Solely on Candle Size?
- Posted by Greg Harmon
- on July 2nd, 2013
Sounds crazy doesn't it? But not really. You already look at spikes in volatility as a bearish event in a rising trend. And how is a spike in volatility measured? The Volatility Index ($VIX) is used by most to measure volatility. The default measure. It is a direct measure of the near strike options activity on the SPX options. But this is not the only way to measure volatility. Volatility itself could be defined as a wider range day. In the chart below I have highlighted the wide range days over the last 4 months. They coincide with spikes in the VIX. So it fits on that basis. But take this picture a bit further. Cover the bottom panel now. If you were to look only at the candlesticks and sell when the the candles got bigger and then bought
back when they got smaller again how would you have done over this timeframe? Pretty well it turns out. You would have pockets 22 points in the SPDR DJ Industrials ETF, $DIA, from February 28 through July 1st. The DIA itself is up only 11 points. Pay attention to changes in the range. Is the range shrinking again?

Your Voice: PDS vs. Linkage
Here is another "Your Voice" segment with a discussion on PDS versus Linkage. It is often a topic widely debated but lets settle the topic here in this discussion. Where does each benefit, come up short, and which works better for you?
Innovation Offroad: From personal experience, I've always liked the PDS system on the KTMs better. The best PDS system KTM had was on the 08-09 XC frames which I believe worked the best because it allowed the bikes to turn well in corners and placed proper weight on the front wheel. I'm one of those riders that likes my front wheel to feel planted all the time. PDS works well for it's tune-ability and seems to soak up the rocks well in technical terrain. One of the downsides of the PDS system is it's ability to kick you while crossing logs. Linkage seems to handle logs better by not kicking as much. I would also say that linkage is much more picky with sag set-up when dialing in suspension. For now, I prefer linkage over PDS, mostly because it is what I know the best.
In the comment section below, share your experience with PDS and/or Linkage? What are some positive and negatives of each? Which do you prefer?

"To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!"
"If evolution and the survival of the fittest be true at all, the destruction of prey and of human rivals must have been among the most important. . . . It is just because human bloodthirstiness is such a primitive part of us that it is so hard to eradicate, especially when a fight or a hunt is promised as part of the fun."
"The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government."
"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."

I have acquired the bag.
Actually, three of them!!
The claim that these bags are available at Costco for "3 for $3" was not a myth; it was a glorious, glorious fact.
Just one bag is big enough to fit three of my other reusable grocery bags! And each bag has two sets of durable woven handles: one short set to carry it like a handbag, and one long set to sling it over your shoulder.
According to the [miniscule piece of recyclable paper] packaging, the bags are 100% recyclable and hold up to 2 cubic feet or 70 pounds.
So how much can they really hold?
A lot!
I wish someone could tote me around in this all day, but since I weigh… umm… seventy-one pounds, I don't think it would quite work out…

Should babies be banned from fancy restaurants?
- 213 Replies
I saw on the news that a chef at Alinea, a $265-per-head restaurant, had to deal with complaints from diners because there was a crying infant at the restaurant. Now I'm all for taking your little ones with you to a family-oriented place, but a pricy establishment like that seems more the kind of place you'd go as a couple, sans kids, especially given the cost.
Do you think babies should be banned from fancy restaurants like this?
Quoting EireLass: Nobody noisy should be allowed.
It's not the price of the restaurant that would stop me from taking little kids, it's the ambiance. If it was an elegant quiet place, yes, just expensive, no. Valentines Day is definitely a day where children shouldn't be in restaurants.
I took my kids to restaurants from when they were infants in car seats. If they cried, I took them out. They learned how to behave in fine restaurants, and now my daughter works in one in Beverley Hills.
I expect a quiet atmosphere in a place like that..

The Metro Nashville Police Department is trying to locate a man who stole a vehicle with two young children in the back seat early Friday morning.
The children's mother, 24, went into Dunkin Donuts off 5th Avenue North at 6:35 a.m. in downtown Nashville to receive a paycheck and left her two children, ages 1 and 5, in the back seat of the car.
The man, described by the five-year-old as thin and black, dropped off the car near Bicentennial Mall, where it was recovered roughly 10 minutes later, according to police. The children were unharmed.
MNPD spokeswoman Kris Mumford said the Youth Services Division and the District Attorney's Office are investigating the case to determine whether charges will be filed against the mother. The Department of Children's Services is also reviewing the case.
MNPD is asking anyone with information about the incident to call Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME.
Youth Services and should give this woman a citation of merit. She has a job and is supporting two kids.
This is bad publicity if the powers that are pursue the mother before finding the criminal.
What a stupid parent.

Apple wants our business for the holidays. And it shows.
Apple has unveiled "The Reserve And Pick Up" program for its retail stores that gives consumers the opportunity to go online and select their Apple product(s), make a reservation, and then sometime between December 15 and 24, come into their local Apple store to pick up the goods just in time for the holidays.
According to MacWorld:
Currently, the line-up of offerings includes iPods, iPhones, MacBooks, Mac Minis, iMacs, and Mac Pros. To make a reservation, you sign in with your Apple ID and select a store location. Payment is due only at the time of pick-up.
In other words,it seems the "Reserve And Pick Up" program will help Apple reconcile supply with demand.
Shoppers who make their reservations online can avoid the disappointment of finding something out-of-stock at the retail store. And in theory, the purchasing and pick-up process should be more efficient than waiting in long holiday lines. In many cases, items can be wrapped in the signature gift box, too.

ATLANTA — Georgia's top court upheld the conviction of a Cobb County woman who was sentenced to life in prison without parole in the torching death of her friend.
The Georgia Supreme Court's unanimous decision Monday affirmed the sentence imposed upon Anjail Muhammad after a jury found her guilty of murder and arson in the May 2003 death of her friend Nodiana Antoine.
Authorities said Muhammad and Antoine had been arguing at a gas station when Muhammad sprayed Antoine with gasoline and set her on fire. Antoine died about six weeks later at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
Muhammad appealed her conviction on grounds that the evidence was insufficient. The court concluded that there was enough evidence to prove Muhammad guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Lady Dawgs get 13th straight shutout
Published 6:00 pm, Saturday, March 6, 2010
From staff reports
LUBBOCK — Thirteen and counting.
The Midland High girls soccer team recorded its 13th straight shutout on Saturday in a dominant 8-0 victory over Lubbock High at Lowrey Field.
"The team is very pleased with how they're playing defensively," said coach Kent Rivas. "Anytime you can keep a team from scoring, it's obviously a good thing. It always improves your chances of winning."
With the win, the Lady Bulldogs move into sole possession of first place in District 2-5A, following a 1-0 loss by Amarillo High to Odessa Permian. Midland High is now in the driver's seat for the district title with three games to play. The Lady Bulldogs have already shut out all three of their remaining opponents this season, including Lubbock Coronado (3-8-5, 2-8-4 with 10 points in District 2-5A) at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Grande Communications Stadium.
"Looking at the rest of our schedule, you'll notice its very favorable for us," said Rivas. "Any team can beat anyone at any given time. We're going to take it one game at a time starting Tuesday. If the cards play out right and the stars are aligned, then we should come away with an outright district title."
If the Lady Bulldogs can win out, they would end a 10-year streak for Amarillo High. The Lady Sandies have won a district title every season for the past decade, including a 2-5A championship in 2009.
"To win a district title outright and end Amarillo's streak would be nice," admitted Rivas.
Shelby Morrow scored the first three goals for Midland High, finding the net in the third, 18th and 27th minutes of the match. Morgan Hannon, Laramie Holifield and Savannah Ross each respectively had an assist for Morrow's three scores.
Hannon put one in the net in the 33rd minute with Shannon Byrd getting the assist.
With a 4-0 lead, many of Midland High's subs took the field in the second half with Channing Harrel and Morgan McAdams shining. Harrel scored goals in the 52nd and 64th minutes with McAdams assisting both scores. McAdams scored Midland High's final goal in the 66th minute, set up by Brooke Hankinson.
Molly Barham had Midland High's other goal in the 54th minutes with Byrd picking up her second assist.

Welcome to my professional and personal website!
It has been reorganized to reflect the many services that I am offering as a Humanist Officiant, Counsellor and Chaplain. My services include counselling, marriage preparation and a creative, collaborative process for developing life passage ceremonies to mark the milestones that you consider significant in your life. I encourage you to take a trip round the entire site and get acquainted with the range of services I provide.
Since my parents were freethinkers, my Humanist perspective is a 'genetic' inheritance. For that reason, I chose to train as a Humanist Officiant and subsequently, to provide chaplaincy services to the secular community at the University of Toronto. So my services are particularly relevant to secular Humanists, freethinkers and individuals without affiliations who prefer a collaborative process for life passage ceremonies and a secular perspective for counselling services. I also provide my services to the general public who may also be seeking a legal secular wedding ceremony or other secular services.
Humanist rites of passage provide alternatives to people who would otherwise have little recourse beyond religious affiliations or the sterile confines of a municipal building. By facilitating Humanist baby and child naming; weddings, vow renewals and divorce celebrations; funerals and memorial services, I encourage individuals to 'humanize' their ceremonies and become the 'creators' of their own rites of passage. My role is to facilitate their design, ideas, and vision by providing guidance, resources, ideas, original writing and research when required and of course, by celebrating their ceremony at the appointed date and time.
Creating and celebrating meaningful, secular life passage ceremonies allows me to express my own creativity in the work of weaving together words and passages for a meaningful and memorable life passage ceremony. The social interactions that are essential to the work are satisfying because they contribute to the well-being of all individuals concerned and to the celebration of human communities.

A restaurant owner from Washington, D.C., writes:
My sons and I [ages 9 and 12] are coming to Albany this weekend for the Frozen Four. We hate chains and are looking for one-of-a-kind places. A great diner, a great Italian joint and any other Albany Institutions you could recommend?
I'm not sure where you're staying, but I'll keep these recommendations within about three miles of the arena.
- For breakfast, be sure to try the Miss Albany Diner (465-9148; Web site seems down; a five-minute drive from the arena).
- Cafe Madison (3 miles) is a huge favorite among blog readers for breakfast, and its dinners are very fine, too.
- Angel's Cafe (3 blocks) would be good for a Sunday soul-food brunch (blog post and link to column here).
- Jack's Oyster House (2 blocks from arena) has been open and in the same family since 1913; it's truly iconic Albany.
- The Albany Pump Station (7-minute walk from arena) makes excellent beer, usually has decent finger foods and is in a very cool space.
- Two newish casual places with excellent food are Bros Tacos and Capital Q Smokehouse (both less than 3 miles). Both are essentially takeout. For fun, funky and sitdown Mexican, consider Bombers Burritos, either of the El Mariachis or El Loco (all about 5-minute drives).
- For higher-end experiences, you won't miss with visits to Angelo's 677 Prime steakhouse or Yono's, a blend of Indonesian and fine Continental (both a short walk from the arena); the classic Northern Italian/Mediterranean fare of Cafe Capriccio (1 block); and the creative New American of McGuire's (5-minute drive).

Our town is going to be having a huge firework show. So instead of doing a bbq and hanging at the house or a friends house we will be sitting in a parking lot waiting for the show to begin.
I plan on making hamburgers and buying the kids favorite chips. Also something for dessert as well just not sure what. Plus some type of drinks.
We may grill hot dogs and have some watermelon if the weather is decent.
All American classics: dogs, brats, burgers, homemade ice cream, baked beans, coleslaw.

One of the earliest metal-bands in Finland was ALTARS OF DESTRUCTION. They entered the scene along STONE, AIRDASH, A.R.G. and NATIONAL NAPALM SYNDICATE in the second half of the 1980s.
However, due to some twists of fate and a record deal that after all did not happen, the band went into hibernation. They might have already been considered history, but fortunately reformed several years ago and set their energy towards recording that one debut album they did not had the chance to deliver earlier. "Gallery Of Pain" was released in April 2010 through Violent Journey Records. Autumn of 2010 saw the first video, "Cross The Line (Of No Return)" by Jani "ViSKi" Viskari.
A new Interview by fireangel / Night Elves is the first AOD-interview in English and also the first one to cover AOD's story extensively. Interviewees were Kimmo Osmo (Guitar), Pasi Osmo (Bass) and Mika Luoma (Vocals).
Some excerpts:
"Anja Fireangel: When the band was formed in 1986, you were between 16 and 18 years old. When and how did you learn to play an instrument or to do vocals? Which were your heroes that motivated you so much to start a band yourself? How did the band members get into contact with each other?
Pasi Osmo: I was 17 when I started to play seriously. First playing guitar for a few months and singing for my own band. My brother Kimmo had a band of his own with some school buddies, playing bass and [doing] vocals, but wanted to change over to guitar. He convinced me into joining his band and taking the bassist role. This was a good decision, because the bass works better for me, and Kimmo is more talented with guitar than I could ever be.
Back then in the mid 80's we listened to old heavy, BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE, LED ZEPPELIN etc., gradually bands like VENOM, SLAYER, METALLICA etc., stepped into the picture. All of these bands have made an impression on our music. There were no famous thrash bands in Finland yet at that point, but metal-wise we had great names like ZERO NINE, TAROT and OZ."
"Anja Fireangel: In Kimmo's photoalbum on Myspace is a newspaper-scan about AOD playing a gig with STONE and added comments about how at a similar gig with them the police came because stage diving was not permitted. Could you please tell of that gig and also in general how the atmosphere at your concerts was?
Kimmo Osmo: The atmosphere back then at shows was real intense and sometimes brutal, and our audience sure knew how to put on a show of their own… We played joint gigs with STONE, AIRDASH, and PRESTIGE. One of the gigs with STONE was definitely the most memorable, when the crowd started stage diving and the cops stopped their show…then hell broke loose.

Welcome to your apparently bi-weekly updates. This is going to be brief, since I'm super tired after sewing for 3 hours straight.
As we all know, I'm sure, Kasper has been up to some pretty cool stuff for a while. What with the acting and script writing, but I think the costume he's been working on for the haunted house is especially cool. It'd certainly scare the bejesus out of me to see that jump out at me.
Game of the Week
War of Two Worlds
It had dragons on the title screen, so I went with it. Seriously, though, I tried playing through this one and I just didn't have time. The opening is really long and wordy, and then there's a sequence between the main character and his friends which is also very long, wordy and awkwardly paced. It was pretty uninteresting and since I had to go to class, I really didn't want to sit through too much more dialogue.

- Interior hinged doors.
These are familiar to all of us – most interior door knob probably still come under this group. This is one of the most usual kind, closing into the doorway as well as typically only opening up in one instructions. Normally, there are numerous kinds within this group – full-wood, glass paned, PVC-coated as well as internal French or dual doors For large adaptability, convenience of installation as well as simplicity you will certainly still in many cases go with a hinged door. However they have at the very least one substantial drawback which other kinds of interior door effort to remedy – they must always turn outwards, as well as in doing so can occupy important space as well as be totally impractical for extremely tiny spaces like walk-in wardrobes.

Interior hinged doors seek to address the space issue explained over, by folding the door know itself somehow, instead of it turning out into the space. The opposite of the coin is that this most typically means that some space in the doorway itself will certainly be occupied by the folded up door, so you require think about whether this will certainly serve. Owing to that they normally follow a groove they could likewise be called 'sliding doors', although see the main section on sliding doors listed below for an introduction of the distinctions.

From press reports
PHILADELPHIA – In challenging economic times, many consumers and business owners across the nation are keeping a close on the fiscal strength and integrity of their financial institutions.
In central and south Mississippi, however, there is particularly good news coming from one community bank: The Citizens Bank has been named a Top 200 Bank in the United States by U.S. Banker Magazine for the third consecutive year. The rating is based on the past three years' average Return On Equity, an industry standard which measures an institutions ability to create profitability based on its net worth and includes all community banks and thrift institutions in the nation with assets less than $2 billion.
The announcement was made in the May, 2012 edition of American Banker.
The Citizens Bank was one of two Mississippi-based banks making the Top 200 list, coming in at number 114.
Merchants & Marines Bancorp, Pascagoula, was listed as number 181. The mid-Atlantic region contained the largest number of Top 200 banks, with Pennsylvania represented by 43 banks and New York, 26. Other states with doubledigit Top 200 banks were Ohio, Virginia and California.
Greg McKee, President and CEO of Citizens Bank said "We're not only proud to have been named a Top 200 bank in the United States, but also for the consistency with which we have earned this honor. Three consecutive years is, by any standard, a remarkable achievement."
"At The Citizens Bank, we consider fiscal integrity to be the most important aspect of our mission," McKee continued.
"Without an eye on integrity and consistently seeking to perform our jobs in accordance with sound and proven banking principles, we could not go about serving our customers, our communities or our shareholders. I am pleased to earn this recognition for the well- being of those who rely on us and have placed their trust in us."

Lost my Mastercard
Oh crap. I went down to Bellingham, WA today for some shopping, groceries and other stuff. I got gas in my car at the Fred Meyer gas bar, then went into Fred for the non-perishable items on my list. I next hit the mall, had lunch in the food court, and bought a couple of T-shirts and a purse at Macy's. I looked around in a few other stores, but didn't buy anything else. I then headed back to Fred Meyer for the milk, eggs, butter, cheese, frozen stuff which I always put in my cooler type grocery bags to keep them cold while driving back home. When I went to pay for my groceries, I realized I no longer had my Mastercard, which I had last used at Macy's. Fortunately had a VISA card to pay for the grocs. Then back to Macy's, same woman who sold me the purse, but she didn't have my card, which I was hoping just go left behind. I had to head home, so I told my husband and he phoned Mastercard and cancelled my card. There were no other charges put on it except mine from today. MC will send me a new card in a week or so. I have no idea what happened to it, but don't remember getting it back from the clerk at Macy's and there were several other people around the till waiting to be served when she was finished with me.
Probably it wasn't stolen, since it seems that theives use them within a couple minutes of taking them, and your company would have probably called you if there were unusual charges. Good idea to cancel as soon as possible. It is very annoying when a card is lost or missing.
That's such a scary feeling!! I'm glad you realized it quickly so you could cancel it!! :)
Calling immediately is a good thing. Credit card companies have been good about taking care of that sort of thing. In my experience anyway.

Jared Veldheer to have hands full against Colts
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, December 23, 2010
When it comes to the Indianapolis Colts, the Raiders' next opponent, everyone knows about quarterback Peyton Manning's ability to pick teams apart. But another reason the 8-6 Colts have had so much success in recent years is because fast defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis have a penchant for ripping apart opposing quarterbacks.
Imagine the look on Freeney's face when he saw that Oakland starts a rookie, Jared Veldheer, at left tackle. At right tackle, the 7-7 Raiders will try to contain Mathis (9 1/2 sacks) with either Langston Walker, a 360-pound man recovering from a concussion, or Mario Henderson, the guy whom rookie Veldheer beat out on the left side.
Freeney, in a conference call Wednesday, couldn't believe the Raiders would leave Veldheer to fend for himself protecting quarterback Jason Campbell's blind side.
"Normally what happens when I go against a rookie is there are two other guys with him," said Freeney, who has eight sacks this year and 92 in his nine seasons. "I'm sure they're going to scheme and not just leave him by himself. That wouldn't be too smart."
Raiders coach Tom Cable admits as much, saying that although his offensive line is better against speed rushers than it was early in the season, "you have to be wise."
"These are the two best, on the same team, in the NFL," Cable said. "You've got to have a plan all the time."
The 6-foot-8, 315-pound Veldheer figures to get help from another offensive lineman, a tight end or a chipping running back. Which is what the 6-1, 268-pound Freeney is used to, as he estimates that he gets to go one-on-one on drop-back pass plays only a handful of times per game.
Although Cable and teammates have praised Veldheer's play, Freeney said he wasn't overly impressed after watching game film.
"He's done a decent job," Freeney said of the third-round pick. "He hasn't done an overly great job. ... He's hung in there."
Veldheer is up to the challenge, though he would be the first to tell you he didn't face many guys like Freeney at Division II Hillsdale College in Michigan last year.
"Most of it is just a mind-set," said Veldheer, who has allowed six sacks this season. "It's you versus another person. No one is Superman with a cape out there. Everyone is wearing a helmet and shoulder pads, and you just got to go out there and execute and do your job better than the guy across from you."
And, the Raiders hope, push Freeney and Mathis around as running backs Darren McFadden and Michael Bush get to the second level of the Colts' defense. The Raiders are averaging 158 yards rushing per game, second in the NFL, and 223 the last three games.
"It's going to be a tough match for us defensively trying to stop McFadden and what they do," Freeney said. "They do a little bit of everything. They run a lot of different things, a lot of reverses, use their speed to their advantage. They mix it up pretty well. You can't book 'em for just one thing. I think that's why they've been a little bit successful this year as far as running the ball."
Briefly: Punter Shane Lechler couldn't help but notice the new punter, Danny Baugher, in the Raiders' locker room. Hate to disappoint the practice squader, but Lechler is planning to kick Sunday against the Colts, strained hamstring and all. "Oh yeah," Lechler said. "You know I'm gonna do my best to go this weekend." ... Defensive tackle Richard Seymour did not practice because of a hamstring injury, and Cable said he's "concerned, but it's early" when asked about Seymour's chances of playing on Sunday.

Shale gas operations in the United States are expected to push the country toward energy independence in the years ahead, but their impact on U.S. and Canadian share prices could be just as profound.
Moody's Investors Service is a big believer in the drilling revolution – which untaps enormous gas reserves using new "fracking" technology – and argued in a new report that it will keep gas prices low, and quantities plentiful, for at least the next decade. And that will create corporate winners that stand to benefit from the lower input costs that cheap natural gas provides.
"A surplus of natural gas production will give North American refiners and chemical producers a long-term competitive advantage over their peers worldwide, while the shale boom also improves the credit profiles of U.S. electric and gas utilities," said Steven Wood, managing director at Moody's, in a statement.
He mentions names. Among refiners set to benefit: Phillips 66, Marathon Petroleum Corp. and Valero Energy Corp. Among chemical companies that are singled out, fertilizer producers received the biggest nods, given the importance of natural gas to their production. These companies include CF Industries Holdings Inc., Agrium Inc., Methanex Corp. and Rentech Nitrogen Partners.
As for regulated utilities, Mr. Wood points out that natural gas represents their single largest expense – and while cheaper energy is usually passed on to customers, the lower utility bills of customers translates into better relations between utilities and regulators.
"Indeed, the currently more amicable environment has helped the utilities improve their cost recovery through base-rate increases, with little impact on overall customer bills," he said.
Even railroads stand to benefit from the shale boom. "The western railroads Burlington Northern and Union Pacific Railroad will see the most advantage, since they are close to the Bakken and Eagle Ford shale regions," Mr. Wood said.
These energy-producing regions require vast amounts of fracking sand and other materials, and railroads are ideally positioned to provide them.
The question is to what extent has this shale revolution already been priced in to share prices?
While a number of fertilizer producers have been fumbling in 2013, refiners have enjoyed a good run: Valero is up 22 per cent and Marathon is up nearly 21. Among the railroads, Union Pacific has risen more than 22 per cent. Even utilities, which aren't usually associated with stellar returns, have risen more than 12 per cent this year.
However, the gains are largely associated with an investor preference for relatively stable, defensive industries as the global economy shows few signs of anything but sluggish growth. This demand is likely overshadowing any sort of bullish enthusiasm for the shale revolution – which has its share of critics (and not just vocal environmentalists who advocate alternative energy).
For example, Arthur Berman (no relation), a prominent energy consultant and researcher based in Texas, has argued that gas prices would have to rise considerably to make most shale gas production profitable.
"We do not dispute that the shale gas resource is large; we question the near- to medium-term supply, the amount of shale gas that is available on demand," he wrote earlier this year. "The number of gas-directed drilling rigs has plummeted in the past year because of low price and we fear that demand may exceed supply unless this trend is reversed."
These doubts can rankle the shale industry. But investors should love them: As long as doubts remain, the shale revolution has further to run.

T-Mobile to switch on LTE for Galaxy Note II by the end of March
March 18, 2013 | by Natesh Sood
Android Phones, Carriers, Samsung, T-Mobile
As many T-Mobile customers are aware, T-Mobile's 4G LTE network is not yet live, even though the three other major carriers have LTE up and running. According to a report today, T-Mobile will go live with its LTE network by the end of March and w ill cover 100 million customers by mid-2013. In addition, when 2013 is over, T-Mobile will cover approximately 200 million customers.
Some individuals, such as Laptop Mag, were able to test pilot T-Mobile's LTE network ahead of time to see how it performs on the Galaxy Note II. The results are very impressive: 58Mbps down and 25Mbps up. Keep in mind these tests were performed when very few other LTE devices are activated. Once millions of T-Mobile customers begin using it, the speeds will slow down, but will be faster than HSPA+.
The first smartphone to utilize the 4G LTE network will be the Samsung Galaxy Note II. An OTA software update will unlock its LTE capability in the coming weeks. The BlackBerry Z10 will launch with official LTE support out of the box. Another nice feature about T-Mobile's network is that when you travel outside of an LTE zone, you will be dropped to the speedy HSPA+ 42 network, as opposed to 3G (which some other carriers do).
It is times like this when I wish the Nexus 4 had official LTE support for T-Mobile.

Mombasa,KENYA:A suspected robber was on Wednesday lynched by a furious mob in Kisauni area in Mombasa County.
His accomplice sustained serious panga cuts after a beating from the mob which threatened to burn him alive but he was rescued by police.
According to area residents, the two have been involved in a spate of crimes in the area.
They were allegedly caught red handed harassing passengers by snatching valuables from moving Matatus plying the Bamburi-Town center route.
The incident caused tension forcing several businesses including shops to close hurriedly after word went round that other criminal gang members were attacking people randomly to protest the lynching.
However, the situation cooled and things turned to normal.
Police later moved the body to the Coast General Provincial Hospital mortuary CPGH.
The expansive Kisauni area has been been hit with a series of robberies in the past one month.
Recently,police shot and killed three suspected robbers who had allegedly stolen from a petrol station in the area.

OK I bought some new sunglasses yesterday and am having second thoughts about wearing them. My style is fairly clean and dressed up, generally in agreement with the basic fashion sense promoted by this website.
However I have a thing for unusual/unique (even guady) accessories sometimes. For example, a wild tie or oversized raybans. I only rarely wear them, and when I do, I pull it off nicely. But I think yesterday I might have gone too far.
Today I searched the internet and found out the glasses are actually for women (what the hell were they doing in a men's sunglasses shop??) Here is a link I found that shows them
Chanel 4196Q Gold Frame Brown Lens - $208.00
They are fun, and kind of remind me of the wild LMFAO style, but I still think it may be too much. They are HUGE as well.
What's some advice? Wear them occasionally for fun or accented style? Or 're-gift' them since they are basically brand new, and chalk it up as an expensive mistake/lesson?

Introducing our boxing hares; a more sophisticated urban cushion, with a classic country twist. Leaping hares with illustrative stitching to outline the glorious boxing shapes.
We are very proud of the fact that our cushions have as much work and detail on the back as there is on the front and we like to think that this makes our cushions unique. We were bored of turning cushions over only to find a plain back so instead with helkatdesign cushions, whichever way you throw them on the sofa, they will still look splendid.
Our boxing hares also come in 'Natural' and 'Mulberry' and a blue/grey ground . The cushion has a duck feather inner but we can swap this to hollow fibre on request. If you are outside of the UK then the cushion will come with a hollow fibre inner.
The ethos of Helkatdesign is to create cushions and prints that are not mass produced, nor have a label saying 'Made In China' on the back. We believe that the origin of the products that we buy in Britain is incredibly important. We source all of our materials in Britain, if not locally. Helkatdesign is truly a British kitchen table business. We print and sew the entire range from the attic space in our Wiltshire home, a converted Edwardian hospital and ship the final products all over the world.
Please note that every cushion of ours is handprinted and sewn so no two cushions are exactly the same, and there may be one or two tiny variations. This is likely to be the trimming on the back of the cushion. For more about this please message us.

Peyton Manning and the Patriots
Nov. 15, 2009: Colts 35, Patriots 34
The game will be known forever as the fourth-and-2 game. The Patriots faced fourth-and-2 on their own 28, and coach Bill Belichick decided to go for it in an attempt to seal the victory, but Tom Brady's pass to Kevin Faulk (pictured being stopped short) didn't get the yardage and the Colts used the two minutes remaining to hammer home the winning touchdown with just seconds left.
The Patriots dominated the second quarter to pull ahead by 10 at halftime and went ahead 31-14 in the fourth quarter when Randy Moss caught his second touchdown. The Colts answered with two touchdowns while allowing only a field goal to set up the decisive situation. Peyton Manning's one-yard TD pass to Reggie Wayne completed the comeback, and the Colts improved to 9-0 on the season.
