Finally Want OutI have been married for 6 years to an abusive man. We have 2 children together and i have 1 from a previous, abusive, relationship. I recently had my husband arrested for domestic assault. His family have asked me what I did to cause him to do that to me. I just spoke with him and he was angry and told me this is my fault that i need to watch what i say to him and these things wouldnt happen. that if i want him to come back to me i need to change myself.
i know that it is not my fault. i know that he shouldnt have done it ever, no matter what i have said to him. so why does it feel like this?
i have been completely isolated with noone in my life but him for our entire relationship. I feel so alone and helpless. If I know he is wrong and I know that I dont deserve it then why do I want him to come home?
My entire life I have been abused, and it hurts. My mother, my first boyfriend and now my husband. Its a cycle that I know is all related to eachother, so why can't I break out of it. I feel so lost.

During the offseason, the Redskins cheerleaders scandalized India by bringing their unique brand of rah-rah tit-shaking to the newly formed Indian Cricket League. Well, the ICL learned quickly, because they now have their own cheerleading squad, headed by Bollywood star (read: hot chick you've never heard of) Rakhi Sawant. The eight-member ICL Zeebras will cheer at every match of the league's second season.
"Cheerleading is not just tamasha (mindless drama). It is a sport by itself. Until now, it was the exclusive domain of the international cheerleading troupes. But, thanks to ICL, this country will now have an indigenous cheerleaders' squad," Sawant said in the statement.
Shariq Patel, ICL's senior vice president (Marketing & Operations), said: "Cheerleaders have a significant role to play in the modern context of sports… I am confident that this synergistic initiative between cricket and entertainment will formulate a completely new experience for sports fans of the country.
Ummm… yeah. About that. India's cricket board has banned ICL players from playing in any domestic or international matches, and has gotten other cricket-playing nations to do the same. Translation: no player worth his salt will play in the ICL. Think of it like Major League Soccer, except with sexy Indian cheerleaders. Actually, on second thought, that might get me to an MLS game.

It's a strange thing, settling into this new house. It occurred to me this was the first time I've actually chosen where I'd live, the first time I'd had the option to do anything other than take the only place left that fit my criteria. I've had the luxury of picking out new furniture. And though those are both very material sorts of things to celebrate, I'm not celebrating them for strictly material reasons.
I feel like a lot of my old life was fitting into the space that someone else chose for me. That moment in Cinderella, where the stepsisters cut off bits of their feet to stuff them in the glass slippers? That was what I'd been doing, just less bloody and more painful.
So I feel lucky right now. So lucky, that I have the chance to really look at my life, and think about the parts of it I want to keep and the parts of it I can say goodbye to. My skin fits.

The entire point of that proposal is to clarify what DFSG §2 says so that it is clear what our goals are in regards to source code for things that we distribute. It does not establish exceptions for etch or anything else, because exceptions were out of scope of the original proposal that it was an amendment of.[1] > By shipping sourceless firmware in main, we are either already > violating the social contract or we are not. (My money is on the > former, but that's irrelevant to my point.) In either case, as > stated above the entire GR is a no-op. And if we are already > violating the social contract, why would passing a GR against this > practice make us stop doing so? I had always understood DFSG §2 to be read in exactly the way the proposal clarifies its meaning. However, the original proposal made it clear to me that this was not a universal understanding, and it fell to me (or someone else) to draft language to offer another interpretation of our understanding of DFSG §2. If you agree with the proposal being a no-op (that is, it says what you felt DFSG §2 always said), then you are in agreement with the entire point of the proposal. Finally, as far as etch is concerned, it is my understanding that we MUST pass an exception to DFSG §2 in order to do what we are currently doing; this proposal just makes it abundantly clear that that is the case. Don Armstrong 1: Amendments to proposals have to be drafted such that they deal with the narrow range of issues raised by the original proposal; the failure to do this properly (and specifically amend a proposal) is one of the reasons why the ballot for the etch exception is still unclear. Hopefully some of the proposals will combine themselves or ammend themselves to include verbatim the text of other proposals that they find superior. -- CNN/Reuters: News reports have filtered out early this morning that US forces have swooped on an Iraqi Primary School and detained 6th Grade teacher Mohammed Al-Hazar. Sources indicate that, when arrested, Al-Hazar was in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square and a calculator. US President George W Bush argued that this was clear and overwhelming evidence that Iraq indeed possessed weapons of maths instruction. http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu

Besides being a messy, cluttered kitchen (do we need to see the prescription bottle?)…
…what is that thing over the stove?
Besides being a messy, cluttered kitchen (do we need to see the prescription bottle?)…
…what is that thing over the stove?
Tags: Clutter · Kitchen · Mesa, AZ Homes · Staging
Whatever it is, it will block the cabinet doors over the range and be very greasy. Maybe if we could see all of it instead of one side…. It looks almost like a cornucopia, or maybe a pirate wearing a hat or a dried flower and weeds arrangement or…well, I can't figure it out, but I sure hope someone can because it will bother me until I do.
That thing over the stove is an old, dusty, dried-up twig wreath embedded with garlic bulbs.
What's in all those prescription bottles might explain why they put that thing over the stove. With an ashtray on the counter and lighters nearby I would wonder if they smoke in the house.
Part of it looks like a garlic cluster that some people hang in their kitchens. But I would have to see it in person to know for sure. Except I don't want to see it in person. This is close enough.
THE prescription bottle? I see 6 of them!! And that nasty looking thing just might be a kitchen witch.
I agree with Maria. A twig wreath with garlic bulbs. Probably trying to be crafty and making something kitchen specific.
The cash and the ashtray are a nice touch as well.
Is this similar to 'spot-how-many-thing-are-in-this-photo' contests?
I can see a box of Hefty trash bags
I agree with Picky, it looks like a kitchen witch….grease and all
The fire marshall needs to shut that kitchen down! What a firetrap of an arrangement over that stove. And please, hide your prescrips and tidy up a bit. You'll never sell a house with that mess going on.
it looks like the sorting hat from Harry Potter

What does clocks mean?
Definitions for clocks
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word clocks.
Princeton's WordNet
redstem storksbill, alfilaria, alfileria, filaree, filaria, clocks, pin grass, pin clover, Erodium cicutarium(noun)
European weed naturalized in southwestern United States and Mexico having reddish decumbent stems with small fernlike leaves and small deep reddish-lavender flowers followed by slender fruits that stick straight up; often grown for forage
"Clocks" is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Built around a piano riff, the song features cryptic lyrics of contrast and urgency themes. Several remixes of the track exist and its riff has been widely sampled. "Clocks" debuted to critical and commercial success, with critics mainly commenting on the song's piano melody. It was released in the United Kingdom as the third single from A Rush of Blood to the Head, where it reached number nine in the UK Singles Chart. It was released in the United States as the album's second single and reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Clocks" won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
Processor logic cycles, so called because each generally corresponds to one clock pulse in the processor's timing. The relative execution times of instructions on a machine are usually discussed in clocks rather than absolute fractions of a second; one good reason for this is that clock speeds for various models of the machine may increase as technology improves, and it is usually the relative times one is interested in when discussing the instruction set. Compare cycle, jiffy.

I booked two return flights Berlin-Paris for me and my fiancé (for 243 EUR) to visit my grandfather in France for his birthday on August 14th. Unfortunately my grandfather died the week before. In order to go to his funeral I had to change my flight to an earlier date, but AIR FRANCE hotline told me that as written on the fare conditions "not REFUNDABLE , NOT CHANGEABLE" I could not. Therefore I took a one way ticket with easyjet which was the cheapest option (120 EUR).
My fiancé took his AIR FRANCE inbound flight on August 14th.
Our backflight was booked for August 18th at 7:35am. There were issues with public transportation to Roissy airport (no RER B so only Air France buses were doing the connection to down town paris in a timely matter) which were as well announced in an email from AirFrance (good point). However the only public transportation - the bus airfrance- was leaving too late (6am) to enable Air France customers to take this flight at 7:35am. Therefore we took a room at a hotel next to the airport to make sure we come early enough at the airport on August 18th.
On August 17th we received an online invitation for check-in for our flight the following day at 7:35 am. We could not do the check-in online as it was not working and AIR FRANCE website invited us to proceed to the check-in directly at the airport.
On august 18th, we tried to print our boarding cards at the automatic machines, but the machine spit out the very informative message " Report to desk- you are not allowed to check in at this airport" Strange indication, at which airport should we then go -sic- ? Then we went to the check-in desk, the Air France agent did not understand, there was a problem, she was not able to issue the ticket. I told her I could not take the inbound flight due to the sudden death of a family member. She said, I am sorry I cannot print your tickets, you have to go to Airfrance selling counter, they will help you...
But -as you guess- the Airfrance selling counter did not help. They said that the tickets were cancelled (without refund of course) as I did not take the inbound flight. I can take a one-way flight to Berlin now for 460 EUR!!! (please compare the two return tickets for 243 EUR and the seductive offer for a one way on the top of that just for 460 EUR!) We explained the story: funerals in the family and necessity for me to attend the funeral and to fly earlier vs no changeable clause for the Air France tickets, hence the purchase of an earlier ticket with the normal intention of using the backflight ticket for which we received an invitation to check-in and no indication that it has been cancelled. No understanding, no encouragement, no courteoisy. The agent just called her supervisor who showed neither understanding, nor encouragement, nor courteoisy. Both just said "it s written in the general terms and conditions" and my fiancé "you mean the 200 pages nobody can take honestly the time to read?" We asked then reasonably for an alternative, for another solution leading to less additional expenses. They said this the only proposal.
Finally we took two low-cost one way to Berlin which cost 300 EUR but were only departing in the evening and from the airport at the other side of paris. Therefore we had time to check aifrance proposal. And we found out that indeed one way to Berlin today cost 500 EUR -but a return flight Paris Berlin cost only 200 EUR!!!! This was a much better proposal (all the more as -as obviously I am french- i travel often back and forth!)! They certainly knew that return tickets would be much cheaper but did say: this is the only solution!
To summarize:
1. Air France Invitation to take the outbound flight via Email for online check-in whereas the flight reservation was cancelled by air france -->contradiction to their own general terms and conditions to which they refer to
2. Proposal to pay additional fees for more than 450 EUR as the only possible option whereas website shows return tickets alternatives for 238 EUR--> deliberate lie to customer
We were fully ripped-off by Air France, are feeling extremely frustrated and light (from the purse) as we are a very young couple with one of us still studying.
We will definitely not use Airfrance anymore (for caraibes, use air caraibes, for europe, use ryanair (does not do the "No Show" clause for return tickets) and advise everybody to do so until they change their general terms and conditions and their behaviours.

Jasmine (ECM/2010)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Jasmine marks Keith Jarrett's first recorded collaboration in decades other than with his standards trio, and reunites him with the great bassist Charlie Haden, a close partner until the mid-seventies. These deeply felt performances should inspire any listener "to call your wife or husband or lover in late at night," as Jarrett says in his liner notes, "These are great love songs played by players who are trying, mostly, to keep the message intact." The program on Jasmine includes such classic songs as "Body and Soul", "For All We Know" , "Where Can I Go Without You", "Don't Ever Leave Me" as well as a rare Jarrett cover of a contemporary pop song, "One Day I'll Fly Away". Jarrett and Haden play the music and nothing but the music – as only they can. As Keith Jarrett says in his liner notes: "This is spontaneous music made on the spot without any preparation save our dedication throughout our lives that we won't accept a substitute… These are great love songs played by players who are trying, mostly, to keep the message intact."

Eyes of the Heart (ECM/1979)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Recorded at a concert only a month after recording the epic Survivors' Suite, this is a curious blend between parts of that album and the repetitive elements of Jarrett's solo piano recordings. (Amazon.com)
The Survivors Suite (ECM/1977)
Amazon.com | iTunes
This 1977 date, featuring the lineup of Jarrett and tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Paul Motian, also highlighted Jarrett's soprano saxophone, celeste, bass recorder, and percussion across the span of two lengthy 20-plus-minute segments of the "Survivors' Suite." Slow developments intensify the music's length, both harmonic and melodic, as it builds toward cresting and busting points and recedes again into remarkably sensitive, quiet solos and duos between the group's players. Haden and Jarrett (on Celeste) play a stellar duet to usher in the closing movement from the first segment, and, as always, Redman plays with a biting intensity and a Texas-blues yearning that's as wide and long as the Lone Star state. (Amazon.com)
Byablue (Impulse!/1977)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Keith Jarrett's "American" Quartet met for one last marathon recording date before disbanding, and Impulse made the most of it by spreading the music out over two separate releases. From the evidence of this, the first and slightly superior LP, the band certainly doesn't sound as if it was ready to break up; the interplay has become telepathic, the musical ideas are still fresh and there is a willingness to experiment. "Rainbow," credited to Margot Jarrett, is top-flight lyrical Keith, while "Trieste" evokes the mood and some of the language of spiritual Coltrane. There is adventure, too; with Dewey Redman and Jarrett wailing on tenor and soprano respectively, "Konya" sounds almost like a muezzin call to prayer, and "Yahllah" is a rare, brave, moving merger of jazz and the Middle East. Highly recommended on LP, since the Middle Eastern tracks were deleted from the CD reissue. (AllMusic.com)
Bop-Be (Impulse!/1977)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Here is another LP helping from the Keith Jarrett "American" Quartet's last recording session — one that is almost as consistent in quality as its predecessor. The happy-go-lucky groove of the title track perfectly expresses its name, with Jarrett blithely singing along; both Dewey Redman and Charlie Haden get plenty of solo space on Redman's "Gotta Get Some Sleep" and Haden's "Pocket Full of Cherry" (a pun referring to Haden cohort Don Cherry); and Paul Motian remains a marvelously flexible drummer. Moreover, there is another fascinating swatch of Middle Eastern experimentation on "Pyramids Moving." (AllMusic.com)
Keith Jarrett – El Juicio-The Judgement (Atlantic/1976)
Amazon.com | iTunes
El Juicio is an excellent early Jarrett album and finds him in typically eclectic form with his classic American quartet. I nominate the opener, "Gypsy Moth," as the best piece on the record. Sounding a little like a more confident version of "Lisbon Stomp," from Jarrett's 1967 debut album Life Between the Exit Signs, Jarrett first whips up a rollicking theme on the piano and then switches to soprano sax towards the end, the rhythm section swinging hard throughout. "Toll Road" is more abstract, but the collapsing cymbal pattern paired with Charlie Hayden's pummeling bass lines creates an intriguing canvass for Jarrrett and Redman's sax improvisations. "Pre-Judgement Atmosphere" is a short percussion piece that manages to incorporate a steel drum into the mix. The title track is an ecstatic ten-minute free-improv wherein Jarrett pounds out and wails away. Melodic fragments are continually spun out and just as quickly squashed, and the whole band burns with a smoldering energy. "Piece for Ornette (Long Version)" is a tribute to the free jazz pioneer (and significant influence) Ornette Coleman. It's good; Redman really shines on it, though. Jarrett has a sense of humor about it, as the following track is the twelve-second "Piece for Ornette (Short Version). "Pardon My Rags" is a short tribute to ragtime-era piano. (Ground and Sky)
Keith Jarrett – Arbour Zena (ECM/1975)
Amazon.com | iTunes
With saxophonist Jan Garbarek and bassist Charlie Haden along for the ride, Keith Jarrett indulges in three slow, rambling, meditative, vaguely neo-classical concertos for piano and string orchestra. While a few of Jarrett's and Garbarek's passages here and there have a syncopated jazz feeling, this is mostly contemporary classical music, perhaps even somewhat ahead of its time (it might fit in with the neo-romantic and minimalist camps today). (AllMusic.com)
Keith Jarrett – Shades (Impulse!/1975)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Pianist Keith Jarrett's mid-'70s quintet was the strongest regular group that he ever led and all of its recordings (even some that ramble a bit) are worth picking up. Thanks to its strong start, Shades is one of this unit's most rewarding recordings. Shades of Jazz has a memorable melody and logical (if unpredictable) improvisations by Jarrett and tenor-saxophonist Dewey Redman. The momentum slows down a bit with the gospellish "Southern Smiles" and "Rose Petals" but picks up again with the final number, the rather intense "Diatribe," an excellent vehicle for this classic group. Throughout, bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Paul Motian and percussionist Guilherme Franco keep the band's juices flowing. (AllMusic.com)
Death and The Flowerl (ABC Impulse!/1974)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Keith Jarrett's Death and the Flower is a beautiful work of art that slowly develops over time. It is only three tracks with the best being the 22 minute title track. The songs start out slow and peacefully build as time passes. This is not an album you can put on for a quick fix, but one that takes time to develop. This is a perfect album for a relaxing sunday morning. The use of the percussion on this album is extremely intriguing. It gives the album a very "organic" feel to it. I have to recommend this album to people who are looking for something that is beautiful, peaceful, and intriguing. Keith Jarrett is accompanied by Dewey Redman on saxophone, Charlie Haden on bass, Paul Motian on drums, and Guilherme Franco on percussion.
Treasure Island (Impulse!/1974)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Treasure Island, released in early 1974, was the second of two albums pianist and composer Keith Jarrett recorded for Impulse Records — the first was Fort Yawuh, issued a year earlier. Cut at Generation Sound Studios in New York City, the band consisted of Jarrett on piano and soprano saxophone, Dewey Redman on tenor, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Paul Motian. And though he would more than likely disagree, this was the best band he ever led. I n addition to the quartet, guitarist Sam Brown contributes to a pair of cuts here as Guilherme Franco and Danny Johnson add percussion to the mix. This is a terrific sendoff to a very fertile, creative period and begs the question as to what else may have happened had this band been able to explore their unique, fully communal sound together for more than a pair of albums. (AllMusic.com)
Fort Yawuh (Impulse!/1973)
Amazon.com | iTunes
On Fort Yawuh, Keith Jarrett is joined by Dewey Redman (tenor sax), Charlie Haden (bass), Paul Motian (drums), and Danny Johnson (percussion) to produce this set recorded live at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York City on February 24, 1973. (AllMusic.com)

Keith Jarrett – Mourning of a Star (Wounded Bird/1971)
Amazon.com | iTunes
This album gives one an interesting look at the early Keith Jarrett, who was already performing on an album of the Charles Lloyd Quartet and Miles Davis' early fusion band. He had not yet fully developed his style, but he was clearly on his way. These trio performances (with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian) are impressive for the period, but the best was yet to come. (AllMusic.com)
Keith Jarrett – Birth (Wounded Bird/1971)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Pianist Keith Jarrett's sessions of July 1971 resulted in three LPs and the birth of his finest group: a quartet (and sometimes quintet) with tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Paul Motian. This particular album has some eccentric moments, with Jarrett switching to soprano on the effective "Mortgage on My Soul" and making appearances on steel drum, recorder, and banjo (in addition to piano) on two adventurous pieces. Redman is featured on Chinese musette during "Spirit" (which has Haden on conga and steel drums) and also plays some clarinet in addition to his usual tenor. One can easily see the potential that would soon be realized by this intriguing ensemble. (AllMusic.com)
Expectations (Columbia/1971)
This was the first real indication to the world that Keith Jarrett was an ambitious, multi-talented threat to be reckoned with, an explosion of polystylistic music that sprawled over two LPs. Using his classic quartet (Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian) as a base, Jarrett occasionally adds the biting rock-edged electric guitar of Sam Brown and always-intriguing percussionist Airto Moreira, and indulges in some pleasant string and brass arrangements of his own, along with some grinding organ smears and acceptable soprano sax. Jarrett again turns his early rampant eclecticism loose — from earthy gospel-tinged soul-jazz to the freewheeling atonal avant-garde — yet this time he does it with an exuberance and expansiveness that puts his previous solo work in the shade. (AllMusic.com)
Somewhere Before (Vortex/1968)
While still a member of the Charles Lloyd Quartet, Keith Jarrett did some occasional moonlighting with a trio, anchored by two future members of Jarrett's classic quartet, Charlie Haden (bass) and Paul Motian (drums). On this CD, Jarrett turns in a very eclectic set at Shelly's Manne-Hole in Hollywood, careening through a variety of idioms where his emerging individuality comes through in flashes. He covers Bob Dylan's "My Back Pages" — which actually came out as a single on the Vortex label — in an attractive, semi-funky style reminiscent of Vince Guaraldi. "Pretty Ballad" delivers a strong reflective dose of Bill Evans, while "Moving Soon" is chaotic free jazz. By the time we reach "New Rag," we begin to hear the distinctive Jarrett idiom of the later trios, but then, "Old Rag" is knockabout stride without the stride. As an example of early, unfocused Jarrett, this is fascinating material. (AllMusic.com)
Life Between The Exit Signs (Atlantic/1967)
Amazon.com | iTunes
Life Between the Exit Signs was recorded on May 4, 1967 at Atlantic Recording studios, New York City. It was released April 1, 1968, under the record label Vortex, a subsidiary label of Atlantic Records. It is a collaboration of esteemed pianist Keith Jarrett, bassist Charlie Haden and established drummer Paul Motian. Although this was his debut leading album, Keith Jarrett's playing had a profound effect upon the world of jazz. His unique playing style, first truly exhibited here, was to make him one of the most famous jazz pianists of all time, influencing much of the experimental jazz of the 80s and 90s. It was also the beginning of a long lasting relationship with Paul Motian. The tracks on the album are heavily inluenced by Ornette Coleman and Bill Evans, Jarrett having long been an admirer of both; and Haden having played with Coleman and Motian having played with Evans.

Bigger Problems Than Lance
Unless you studiously and compulsively avoid national news you know that cycling hero and cancer awareness advocate Lance Armstrong cheated. Before I get to the implications for parenting (and you may be wondering what on earth Lance's doping has to do with parenting) let me get a few things out of the way.
Armstrong is in a long line of "sports cheaters". Pick your sport: baseball (Mark McGuire), football (Bill Belichick), Gymnastics (Chinese Women Olympics 2008), swimming (Women's East Germany Olympic team 1976), track (Ben Johnson), skating (Tonya Harding), soccer (Maradona), cycling (Landis) – the list would fill an entire book. I am NOT justifying what he did, I am merely observing the context in which he did it.
Armstrong cheated. Armstrong also had testicular cancer, abdominal cancer and brain cancer. He bounced back further, trained harder, and worked more intensely than virtually any other cyclist. Doping or no doping his work ethic and intensity are inspiring. The cycling association, which produced a pretty condemning report, also hunted him with a rabid dog intensity that frankly doesn't make sense. In destroying him they also destroyed the sport for years to come. Don't believe me? Take a poll of the people sitting near you (I have done this several times). Ask them to name a cyclist besides Lance Armstrong. Ask them to name a bike race beside the Tour de' France. 90% of people can't do either. In America, Lance Armstrong is Cycling. Lance's charge back from cancer to competitive cycling put cycling in America on the map. Kick Lance off the map, and you can kick biking off the map. Three of my kids traveled to France to watch Lance, not the Tour. No Lance, and they wouldn't have gone.
Cancer? I will continue to confidently wear my Livestrong wrist band – I have two family members who are cancer survivors and we have benefited from, and been inspired by both Lance Armstrong and the Livestrong Foundation.
Okay, how does this apply to parenting. Should you tell your kids: Now, children, Lance cheated. See what happens when you cheat? You get caught and then punished. So, are there any questions? As a matter of fact there are. Big ones.
Mommy and Daddy, did you think Lance was cheating?
We all knew Lance was cheating, we just didn't want to admit it. The story was too good to be true. (If it is too good to be true, it isn't). And don't tell me you are going to strip him of his 7 Tour wins and give them to the runner up, who was just seconds behind him. Oh yeah, I'm quite sure that the cyclists and teams in second and third place were absolutely clean. If you believe that you probably also believe NFL lineman are not using steroids. And that Roger Clemens didn't dope.
This brings us to the bigger problem: We don't really want to know. We exhibit, as a culture, Collective, Comprehensive, All-Inclusive Denial. We simply don't want to know. We don't want to know that our economy is headed off a fiscal cliff. We don't want to know that we are going to have to cut back on our spending. We don't want to know that taxes have to go up. We don't want to know that we can't afford the "very best" medical care. We don't want to know that American Education is slipping. We don't want to know about our credit card debit. We want to believe that we are exceptional. That life's rules don't apply to us. Worse, we want to believe that you can have it all, and you don't really have to work for it. We seek the short cut. The quick fix. The pill to solve it. The dope.
I'll tell you what we can learn from Lance Armstrong: if you believe, if you hope, if you work hard, if you sacrifice, you can came back from terminal illness. Lance did it. America can do it too. Belief. Hope. Hard work. Sacrifice. It starts with us and our kids. Take short-cuts and you ruin it all.
One Response to Bigger Problems Than Lance
Thank you. Good, balanced post. The persecution of Lance Armstrong seemed simply vindictive. Even if Lance doped, he was participating on a level playing field with the rest of the teams who also were surely doping. It was part and parcel with the sport. I still respect Lance for his talent, and most of all, for his dedication and hard work. Cycling seems to want to destroy itself.

text: Last week it was reported that a sculpture by George Laing was stolen from the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow. Well all's well that ends well as within a week, artlyst.com is reporting that police have recovered the bronze sculpture close to the museum. An anonymous phone call tipped off police and led them to the missing Laing. As Detective Constable Ian Thomson states, "We are continuing our inquiries to trace those responsible for the theft of the statue." It appears that someone with hot hands and cold feet ditched the artwork in question.

The trends of digital artwork is always changing, which usually leads to some pretty interesting conversations between professionals. One such conversation brought up something that I hadn't really considered. I guess you could even say, one of the down sides to going totally digital. As my friend pointed out that he really missed drawing and inking outside in the sun.
In terms of a geographical location, living in "Sunny" San Diego certainly does have it's benefits especially regarding the climate. I typically look for a mobile option with everything I do, I hadn't really considered the outside realm as part of the equation.
More so it seems that Wacom has heard the cry of the digital artist. Not just in mobility but in the stylus nib department. Having already reviewed the Intous Creative Stylus 1, my only real complaint came down to the size of the nib. (Or tip of the stylus) It felt much like sketching with your thumb. Well Wacom apparently is listening and cooked up the Creative Stylus 2, with yes folks a smaller nib.
Is it time for the digital artist to join the outside world. To un-tether themselves from their desk? Finally having the option to do some digital artwork in the sun?

Why Concepts Matter?
Strategic pitfalls are commonplace in warfare. History is with replete with former armies that prepared for the wrong type of conflict and received the unflattering result of becoming failed military systems. The Prussian Army of 1806, the Russian Army of 1914, and the French Army of 1940, are just a few of the well-known examples that did not escape the outcome of strategic failure. When war came, they ceased to exist. Whether a disparity in tactical weaponry was unveiled, absence of proper training or doctrine was prevalent, or a lack of decisive leadership persisted; the strategic outcome of pitting well-prepared forces against deficient military organizations have been catastrophic. With this realization, the U.S. Army must continue to invest in the purposeful development of operational concepts to ensure the long term viability of the military system. This month in December 2012, the Army will publish a new version of the Army Capstone Concept. To support this effort, this article will provide insights on the value of operational concepts, dangers associated with flawed concepts, and the key ideas within the Army Capstone Concept to guide developments and activities for the next several years.
The Role of Concepts
Since the U.S. military today is in a period of transition, concepts can help the U.S. Army identify the next big idea or key trend in the conduct of warfare. What is different? The global international security environment is in the midst of fundamental change. The U.S. economic downturn which began in 2008 continues today and has created security implications for competing military systems around the globe. The economic environment will likely have a lasting impact on investments in military modernization and transformation – not just for the U.S. and its allies and partners, but for competitors and adversaries as well. Not only will friendly militaries be shrinking in size, but they will experience a growing gap between their capabilities and those of U.S. forces as their research and development budgets shrink along with their ability to modernize equipment and facilities. The resulting lack of interoperability will present a greater challenge for the U.S. to build military partnerships and coalitions. The effect on potential adversaries may not be as severe. As adversaries are able to focus investment and procurement of specific capabilities to address or avoid U.S. military overmatch, the potential for an increasingly level technological playing field will increase over time. Concepts help to prepare the Army for today's and tomorrow's transitions.
Concepts provide a visual depiction of how the future military force will operate. Military systems of the 21st Century are extremely complex with literally thousands of independent moving pieces and essential components. The mere orchestration of such a complex entity can easily grind to a halt if not for a cohesive unifying concept. The Army's future operational concept serves such a role. With the appropriate future operational concept, the Army's future maneuver forces, technical branches, and supporting agencies can find their proper roles, responsibilities, and functions to bring together pieces of the whole. In this regard, the operational concept can serve as the first level of integration by providing all organizations with the unifying framework by which to guide future developments and actions.
Concepts describe the capabilities required to carry out a range of military operations against adversaries in the expected operational environment, and illustrate how a commander might employ those capabilities to achieve the desired effects and objectives. Through rigorous experimentation, modeling, and simulation; concept developers are able to identify future military requirements which cannot be met by incremental changes to doctrine, training, or equipment. Some required capabilities may require long term investment to mitigate or close the deficiency. For example, self-healing cyber systems may emerge as a future warfighting requirement during experimentation, but not have a readily available solution in the near term. By identifying and capturing those capability requirements, concept developers set the stage for future military investment.
Concepts provide capability descriptions for future military operations beyond the programming and budget cycle. Each concept describes problems, the components of potential solutions, and how those components work together to achieve operational success. Additionally, concepts provide the basis for conducting capabilities-based assessments which are the first analytic step of the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System process.
What are the future threats?
Threats to U.S. national security will appear in many forms. Although near-peer competitors will continue to expand and modernize their militaries, it is unlikely that any great power will seek overt conventional confrontation with the U.S. in the next decade.[1] Rather, future enemies will oppose American interests using adaptive forces that operate in a decentralized manner to frustrate America's traditional advantages in firepower and mobility. Future adversaries have learned from recent years of conflict and will continue to adapt to exploit the vulnerabilities we create as we downsize the military. We are in a cycle of adaptation-counter adaption with all our adversaries from peer competitors to suicide bombers. Our challenge as a Nation and an Army is to ensure that an adaptation against one adversary does not leave us too vulnerable to another adversary. In the next ten years, we must change while "not getting it too wrong."[2]
From non-combatant evacuations in failing states, to coercive peace operations against warring factions to protect threatened populations from atrocities, to humanitarian relief on a regional scale at home and abroad, to forcible entry operations in an anti-access and area denial environment, to deny sanctuary to a regional threat, to major combat operations against an aggressor, the Army will require both the capabilities and capacities to ensure success in a world that will remain dangerous and unpredictable. The U.S. Army must retain its primary role as a credible deterrent to intolerable aggression and the Nation's force of decisive action should deterrence fail.
The ability to deter potential adversaries has long been a cornerstone of American policy. Paradoxically, deterrence requires an unquestioned capability to compel an adversary or if needed, destroy that adversary. Most of the likely future conflicts and contingencies in the next decade will require the United States to use significant ground forces to protect and defend American interests. To support the requirements of both DoD and Army planning guidance,[3] the U.S. Army must provide forces capable of defeating adversaries ranging from insurgents, to hybrid threats, to state actors. These potential opponents have understood U.S. advantages in airpower, seapower, surveillance, and targeting, and have adapted to avoid these strengths.
Purpose of the Army Capstone Concept (ACC)
The purpose of the ACC is to describe the anticipated future operational environment, what the future Army must do based on that environment, and the broad capabilities the Army will require to successfully accomplish it enduring missions in the near to mid-term future. The ACC establishes the foundation for subordinate concepts that will describe how the future Army must fight and identify the required warfighting capabilities essential to ensuring combat effectiveness against the full spectrum of threats the Nation is likely to confront in the future.
The ACC also describes what the U.S. Army must do to retain its ability to win decisively, to protect U.S. national interests, and to successfully execute the primary missions outlined in defense planning guidance in an era of fiscal austerity. The ACC is consistent with the Capstone Concepts for Joint Operations: Joint Force 2020. Similarly, the capabilities the ACC describes Army 2020, the Army's contribution to Joint Force 2020.
ACC central idea
The focus for the new ACC is to provide decisive landpower through a credible, robust capacity to win and the depth and resilience to support combatant commanders across the range of military operations in the homeland and abroad. Army forces are uniquely capable of exerting enduring changes in behaviors of populations to attain decision for combatant commanders. Ready, robust, responsive, and regionally engaged Army forces give pause to adversaries, reassure allies, and, when called upon, deliver the punch that defeats enemies and exerts control to prevent and end chaos and conflict. The fundamental characteristic of the Army necessary to provide decisive landpower is operational adaptability - the ability of Army leaders, Soldiers, and civilians to shape conditions and respond effectively to a broad range of missions and changing threats and situations with appropriate, flexible, and responsive capabilities. Operational adaptability requires flexible organizations and institutions to support a wide variety of missions and adjust focus rapidly to prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, and win the Nation's wars.
How to implement the central idea
The ACC central idea is implemented through three principal and interconnected roles: prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, and win the Nation's wars. By building a force that is able to engage in these three roles, the Army will achieve a level of operational adaptability that makes it a relevant and preferred choice for combatant commanders to meet the demands of national strategy and defend America's interest, both and home and abroad. Even when required to shift focus between these roles, the Army will always retain the ability to conduct its primary mission to fight and win the Nation's wars.
The Army will remain America's principle land force, organized, trained, and equipped for the prompt and sustained combat operations to defeat enemy land forces, to seize, hold, and defend land areas, and to control terrain, populations, and natural resources. To this end, the Nation requires an expeditionary Army, able to operate effectively land domain while fully accounting for the human aspects of conflict and war.
The Army prevents conflict by providing a credible land force that can fight and win to deter adversaries and avert miscalculations. The Army provides a force that is prepared and modernized with the capability and capacity to execute the full range of military operations in support of combatant commands.
The Army shapes the operational environment by providing a sustained and stabilizing presence to gain access and understand the situation. Additionally, Army forces build partners and capacity to develop mutual trust and set conditions future operations. The Army projects forces worldwide into any operational setting and conducts operations immediately upon arrival. These expeditionary operations require the Army to deploy quickly to austere areas and shape conditions to seize and maintain the initiative. The Army leverages the breadth and depth of its means to rapidly meet joint commander's mission requirements with scalable, tailored expeditionary force packages that complement other service capabilities.
The Army wins the Nation's wars as part of the joint force and contributes to the defense of the homeland by providing a credible, robust capacity that is responsive to combatant commanders and has the depth and resilience needed to deliver decision in any operation.
The U.S. Army is constantly evolving and adapting. Confronted with a wide variety of potential hotspots around the globe, the Army will not have the luxury in the future to focus on only one potential high-end, asymmetric threat to the detriment of other preparations. Without doubt, the need for agile, lean, adaptable Army forces and capabilities will be in high demand to a far greater degree that in the past. With these conditions in mind, placing proper emphasis on credible, decisive landpower and operational adaptability will enable Army commanders to provide the most effective forces to meet the needs of future joint force commanders whether it involves humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, deterrence, consequence management, or major combat operations. The Army's global execution of these activities contributes to stability, ensuring equilibrium and balancing risk to our Nation's interests. Only by ensuring that Army forces are capable of fulfilling the pressing demands of combatant commanders, can we ensure that forces are properly postured, equipped, maintained, trained, and ready to deal with the pressing challenges associated with the full range of military operations. Last, the generating force must exhibit the same expeditionary mindset as the operating force, blurring the distinction between both and producing a more effective total Army that can prevent, shape, and win.

It's been a while since we've heard any big news regarding Google Wallet, but that changes today. Google has announced that Wallet now supports all credit and debit cards from the likes of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Previously the app would only work with Citi MasterCards and Google Prepaid Cards. Google also switched up the way that Wallet stores card information. It now saves those details on Google's servers rather than the secure storage on a user's phone. When linking a card to the Wallet app, users will have their card information linked to a virtual MasterCard card, supplied by The Bancorp Bank. Google Wallet will then use this virtual MasterCard when users make a purchase, which will then charge the amount to the user's actual linked card.
Additionally, Google has added the ability for users to remotely disable Google Wallet on a lost phone. Users can simply visit the "Devices" section of the Wallet website and then select which piece of hardware they'd like to disable. Once disabled, Wallet will no longer authorize transactions with that device. Google also says that if the Wallet online service can get a connection with your disabled device, it'll remotely wipe your card and transaction data.
While the method for using non-Citi MasterCards with Google Wallet may not be quite as simple on the backend of things, the fact that all cards are now compatible with the service is great, and I'm betting that more folks will be willing to give Wallet a go now that they can use any card they'd like. Of course, Wallet is still only officially supported on a handful of devices, so today's news won't mean much unless you've got one of those products (or a device that you've been able to unofficially finagle Wallet onto). If you do have Wallet on your device, you can find the new app in the Google Play store right now. How many of you have used Google Wallet before? Do you plan to use it (or use it more, if you already have) now that all cards are supported?

As 2014 approaches, so does the deadline to register for the Basic STAR tax exemption!
The STAR program continues to provide vital tax relief to homeowners across the state and I want to take another opportunity to remind homeowners that this year new provisions have taken effect to make the program even more effective. However, Basic STAR recipients must remember to take action soon so they don't miss out on future savings.
To ensure taxpayers are protected from inappropriate or fraudulent STAR exemptions, all homeowners receiving the Basic STAR benefit (available on the primary residence of homeowners who earn less than $500,000) need to register with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to continue receiving exemptions in 2014 and subsequent years. If you have not registered yet, there's still time! Registration continues until the end of this year. While this registration is required to receive your exemption, homeowners will not need to re-register every year.
Seniors who receive Enhanced STAR will be exempt from the new requirements and will not need to register to continue participation in the program. Enhanced STAR recipients must continue to apply annually, or participate in the Income Verification Program like they have in the past. Additionally, first-time applicants are not affected by this year's registration procedure and must file Form RP-425, Application for School Tax Relief Exemption, with their local assessor.
This new requirement was included in the state budget to help improve the program and safeguard taxpayer money. Improper STAR exemptions cost New Yorkers an estimated $13 million in 2010-11, and that could increase to $73 million by 2015-16. To support the registration effort and to discourage fraud and abuse of STAR, individual fines and penalties were incorporated into the program for intentional misinformation and if the exemption is revoked.
Time is running out…don't lose your STAR exemption! The last day register is this Tuesday, December 31, 2013. I urge homeowners to register for their Basic STAR Exemption by this date or tax savings from the STAR Program will not continue in 2014. The fastest and easiest way for homeowners to register is through the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance's website at www.tax.ny.gov. Registration and support is also available over the phone by calling 518-457-2036, or if you would like to speak with me about this or any other community issue, call (518) 455-5197 or email me at email@example.com.

It wasn't Johan Santana's best performance but it's typical for him this season. He can get into trouble, giving up 10 hits and a walk today, but he can work his way out. Santana got his fourth win of the season against an outmanned Cincinnati team.
There was a lot of offense on display for the Mets in the first game of today's double header. Particulary, Carlos Delgado had three hits including a home run. He batted seventh in the order for the first time since 1995. Mets fans have been calling for him to be dropped in the order for weeks and Willie Randolph finally came to same conclusion. It seems like Willie is always the last one to figure these things out.
Brian Schneider also homered today. Surprisingly it was his first extra base hit of the season. I would guess that we'll see Ramon Castro catching for the first time this season in the second game today.

University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences (AG BM)
University Park, The Smeal College of Business
PROFESSOR JAMES W. DUNN, Program Coordinator
Graduates can be found working in the food production, processing, financial services, wholesaling and retailing industries, both in the United States and abroad. A substantial number are employed by agricultural supply firms. Typically, B.S. degree holders begin their careers in sales or as management trainees, and then progress to management as they develop higher levels of expertise and experience. Not all Penn State Agribusiness Management graduates have chosen careers in the food industry. Many also are employed in banking and the investment and mutual funds industries, and others have gone to law school, graduate school, or into rural development. The quality and diversity of the program enables Agribusiness majors to undertake a variety of jobs.
This major, which is offered jointly with The Mary Jean and Frank P. Smeal College of Business, includes a core of courses required of all business students. Combining the required specialization area with a minor or electives also allows a student to focus on a particular area of interest.
For the B.S. degree in Agribusiness Management, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

If anyone has a website of some easy apis I can use with some examples, that would be great :)
