My family recently went out of town for the weekend and in doing so I was afforded some well deserved me time. The first thing that came to my mind was dinner, but what would I have exactly? I felt like a grilled rib eye, but didn't want to fire up the Weber for just me.
I didn't let that stop me from having my grilled steak dinner, I simply pulled out my chimney starter, threw about 7 or 8 briquettes in it and lit it like you would for any other BBQ. Second, I grabbed a rack to put on my chimney starter. Keep in mind that it doesn't really matter what size as long as it covers the chimney plus a little room to move your food around in the event of flare-ups.
The Dinner Menu
Rib Eye Steak
Corn on the Cob
Potato Wedges
I quartered the potatoes length wise, oiled them up with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and placed it on the chimney grill.
While waiting for my coals to get to the proper temperature so that I could cook my steak properly (about 500°), I took my corn on the cob peeled back the husk without removing it all the way. I then cleaned the silk from the corn and re-covered the stalk of corn completely with the husk and soaked the corn in water making sure it's completely submerged for about 15 minutes.
I drained the corn of most of its moisture and set on the grill next to the potatoes, rotating frequently both the corn and potatoes to prevent any burning. Potatoes take longer to cook so I left them on while I pulled the corn off to the side to keep it warm, while yet stopping the cooking process.
Meanwhile, the star of the dinner would be my rib eye and I seasoned it then put the steak directly on the center of the chimney grill for about 4 minutes on one side and 2-3 minutes on the other side leaving me with a perfect medium-rare steak.
Overall, my dinner cost me less than $6.00 and if you don't already have a chimney starter, this little set-up would only cost you between $20 and $25 at your local hardware or BBQ store. It's great for college students, going to the park; I've even used it at work. Anyone can grill whether you're on a full size grill or find yourself alone when you can just pull out a trusty chimney grill.
Note: All chimneys are bottomless, thus creating a major fire hazard. To prevent any kind of fire hazard problems, make sure you place a baking sheet or something metal underneath your chimney starter and be aware of where you place it as the baking sheet will get hot.
Happy Queing,
The Que Dude

Lean Cuisine's Honestly Good Entrees Contain Natural Ingredients, No Preservatives
New Lean Cuisine Honestly Good from Nestle USA, Solon, Ohio, are entrees made with a combination of thoughtfully selected, quality ingredients that are all natural and contain no preservatives. They are packed in translucent trays, which allows consumers to see the meal they're about to enjoy. They're available in the natural meals section of the freezer aisle.
All six varieties feature lean proteins, such as whole white meat chicken breasts and North Pacific wild-caught fish filets, nutritious whole grains and farm-selected vegetables with a flavor-packed sauce the consumer adds as desired. The six varieties are: Honey Citrus Chicken, Lemongrass Salmon, Pineapple Black Pepper Beef, Plum Ginger Grain-Crusted Fish, Pomegranate Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Chicken. Each single-serve meal contains 270-390 calories, 7-9g of fat, 15-27g of protein and 290-590mg of sodium, depending on variety.
Nestle has partnered with select farmers to grow the ingredients for the new entrée line. Together with some of these farmers, the company is donating a portion of the vegetables grown for the entrees to local communities through its Honestly Good Giving program. In the first year, the program is expected to give one million servings of vegetables to those in need.

A 40-year partnership with Tourism Australia has been abandoned by Qantas amid allegations of sabotage.
Qantas has suspended a $50 million marketing deal with the tourism body, claiming its boss Geoff Dixon was leading a consortium trying to remove current Qantas management and buy the company out, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Qantas boss Alan Joyce reportedly wrote to Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson on Tuesday, telling him the national carrier was suspending all future dealings with Tourism Australia.
It is believed Mr Joyce warned the government Qantas would refuse to have any further dealings with Tourism Australia while Mr Dixon - a former Qantas CEO - was chairman.

Tag Archive: Garden
Unassuming and modest from the gate, my small native plant garden creates an impressive impact. One of the best ways I relax is to have a quiet, peaceful place to go. My backyard garden is an excellent way to have my own little oasis of calm. Everyday the garden changes, I never know what I will discover in among the plants and trees. The possibilities are endless.
The creation of my garden is a tension reliever as the plants have evolved through the years. I have enjoyed adding the varied colors of flowers and succulent plants that create an interesting layout. The trees offer shade and beauty when the afternoon sun is full.
I use the garden to relax and create a world of simple peace. I welcome coming home and stepping into my sanctuary of nature.
Sitting quietly soaking up the sun, listening to the birds singing, and admiring the simple calm beauty. The wild small creatures come and go. I watch them as they study me and I welcome their daily visits.

John Burris sues Chevron for refinery fire that sickened over 14,000
Bay Area attorneys John Burris, Matthew Kumin and Patrick Goggin joined forces to file a lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of victims of the Chevron refinery explosion on Aug. 6. The resulting toxic plume released after a pipe failed in the troubled Crude Unit No. 4 covered areas in which thousands of residents live, work and play. More than 9,000 sought treatment after the fire. The lawsuit charges that Chevron was grossly negligent in handling an accident that, with proper safety measures and a timely response, could have been avoided.

University of Chicago Press, 1966 - Social Science - 372 pages
The Negro Family in the United States, was hailed as a highly important contribution to the intimate history of the people of the United States. It was the first comprehensive study of the family life of African Americans, beginning with colonial-era slavery, extending through the years of slavery and emancipation, to the impact of Jim Crow and migrations to both southern and northern cities in the twentieth century. Frazier discussed all the themes that have concerned subsequent students of the African American family, including matriarchy and patriarchy, the impact of slavery on family solidarity and personal identity, the impact of long-term poverty and lack of access to education, migration and rootlessness, and the relationship between family and community. Frazier insisted that the characteristics of the family were shaped not by race, but by social conditions.

Meet the New Supervalu
One may be wondering what's left in the publicly traded Supervalu after it sells several of its chains and up to a 30% stake to private-equity firm Cerberus Capital.
The deal will leave Supervalu with its once higher-performing, discount chain Save-A-Lot, and more traditional, regional chains: Cub, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher's, Shop 'N Save and Shoppers.
In total the company will have 1,950 stores, including 1,300 Save-A-Lot stores, that will create about $17 billion in annual revenues, Supervalu said.
In the just-reported fiscal third quarter, Save-A-Lot stores reported net sales of $966 million, down 1.6% from the prior year. The unit's operating profit, excluding charges from closing stores, dropped 36% to $38 million.

A Banana in Your Ear
It's the last day of Bella's transformation, and Edward's been gloom for the last few days. What will Alice and Emmett do to try to cheer him up? By both me and vampireluver1313. She had the idea, I wrote it, and she beta-ed it.
1. Put a banana in your ear
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1046 Review this Chapter
I can't believe I had agreed to this. At the moment I had, I was just happy she had finally agreed to marry me. At that time, I hadn't known how much pain it would cause me to watch her writhe in pain. And to know that I'm the one who inflicted it.
It was pretty much midnight, about the time I had bitten her about two days ago. She had fiercely said she was ready to spend eternity with me when I had asked her if she was still sure she wanted to do this. I had sat here, never leaving her side as I watched the transformation take place. The rest of my family looked on anxiously, knowing I wouldn't speak at all until afterwards, after she woke up.
I remembered the day she married me. After all, how could I forget, with her wedding ring twinkling up at me the entire time? It was a lavish wedding, all thanks to Alice. Bella would never forgive her for it, but I definitely loved it. I loved her. Bella was beautiful, with her hair piled elegantly on her head, and a blush spreading across her lovely cheeks. Oh, how she smiled when she saw me at the alter. My dead heart nearly burst with joy. The vows went by in a flash, and suddenly I was kissing her. Then I realized: I just got married. It had seemed silly to Bella at the time I had asked her: a 100 something year old vampire marrying an 18 year old angel, or what she seemed to be to me. But I didn't care. I was finally married to the love of my…well...existence. Life just doesn't seem to cut it.
Words could not describe what had happened that night. It was…beyond amazing. I don't remember why I ever held back, it was great to give in to my adolescent 17 year old hormones.
I heard quiet footsteps behind me. I was pretty sure it was just one of my family members, walking past to make sure Bella was okay. I knew they were all getting a little worried, as was I. I was pretty sure she should've woken up by now. But I 'll wait. I can be patient, but only if I want to be. I heard the door creak, and then creak shut. Every time I opened that door, I reminded myself to grease the hinges on the door. Although I never did. It bothered me every time someone opened that door, but I never did grease the hinges.
I let my eyes lay on my angel, Bella, again. Her brown hair was mostly off to the left of her head, although there were a few strands straying on the right side. Her arms were splayed above her head. Her eyes were shut closed and her teeth clenched hard. I knew she was trying to be strong, trying not to scream, though I knew her natural instinct was to scream, without even reading her mind. It was still cut off to me. It really bothered me, but I knew that she liked it that way.
Suddenly, I felt something squishy in my ear.
"Edward, you look quite down," Alice sang, while coming to dance around me.
"With your big fat eyes and your big fat frown. The world doesn't have to be so gray!" Emmet sang, though his voice much lower than Alice's high soprano.
"Edward, when you're life's a mess," they sang in unison. "When you're feeling blue and always in distress."
"I know what can wash that sad away. All you have to do is…Put a banana in you're ear!"
"A banana…in my ear?" I asked in confusion, finally finding my voice.
"Put a ripe banana right into your favorite ear!" Alice grinned, ho lding up a yellow, limp banana peel.
"It's true!" Emmet sang.
"Says who?" I asked. It still didn't make any sense to me.
"So true," Emmet confirmed.
"Once it's in your gloom will disappear…" Alice waved her hands in front of my face like a magician.
"The bad in the world is hard to hear." Emmet grinned and danced around like a maniac. "When in your ear a banana cheers… So go and put a banana in your ear!"
"Put a banana in your ear!"
"I'd rather keep my ear clear," I growled menacingly.
"You'll never be happy if you live your life in fear," Alice chided, wagging a finger in my direction.
"It's true!" Emmet sang loudly.
"Says you!"
"So true!" Alice countered.
"When it's in the skies are bright and clear. Oh every day of every year!" Emmet continued singing.
"The sun shines bright on this big blue sphere," Alice sang.
"Not in Forks," I muttered.
"So go and put a banana in your ear!" they both sang loudly.
"Are you quite finished?" I growled.
Alice laughed a pulled up a chair next to mine. "Sorry Edward," she apologized, even though she sounded far from sorry. "We never thought it would work. Every time we've tried to sneak up on you, it's never worked. So Emmet decided we'd try while you were a bit distracted, and it did!"
"Not that you didn't already know that," Emmet teased.
Alice smiled. "Good point. We only did it because we thought you needed a good laugh."
I laughed loudly and sarcastically. "Happy now?" I growled. They both nodded. "Where did that song come from, though?"
Emmet shrugged. "Funny story about that. I came into Alice and Jasper's room this morning to relay the plan to her, only it didn't include the banana song yet. Anyways, I came into her room and she was playing that song on the computer. I just thought it was perfect."
"It was off of Charlie the Unicorn 2. It was actually Emmet's idea to use that song though." She got up off the chair gracefully and pulled Emmet out of the room. She stuck her head back in to add, "Hope it cheered you up."
I sat back down, angry that they had taken my attention off Bella. I turned my head back to her, and realized that she was sitting up, her blood red eyes open and alert.
"Bella," I breathed.She giggled. I frowned; this wasn't the reaction I expected out of Bella of all people.
"Umm…Edward?" she asked, still giggling."What, love?"
"Umm…You have a banana in your ear."

There�s a very simple explanation for the Steelers awarding backup tackle Max Starks a $6.9 million guaranteed contract via the transition tag.
They screwed up.
That must be it. What logical reason could there possibly be for making Starks � who lost the right tackle job to Willie Colon before last season � the second highest-paid player on the team?
The Steelers didn�t want to lose Starks, not after losing center Jeff Hartings to retirement after the 2006 season and guard Alan Faneca to free agency during the current off-season. So they made Starks a transition player, thereby guaranteeing Starks the average salary of the 10 best-paid players at his position and guaranteeing themselves a chance to match any offer made Starks by another team.
Why would the Steelers deem it so crucial to retain Starks? He�s certainly not comparable to Hartings or Faneca. He started in 2005 and �06, then lost his position to a fourth-round draft pick from Hofstra. His play has declined. His work ethic has been questioned. Why keep him?
They screwed up.
The Steelers could have withdrawn the transition tag, but � even though not one team pursued Starks in meaningful fashion before he inked his tender � they didn�t do so because they inexplicably still feared losing him. Despite having 6.9 million reasons to sign, Starks initially didn�t, because he wasn�t certain that a transition contract is guaranteed. It is. So Starks put pen to paper.
At that point, the Steelers had really screwed up.
At 6-foot-8, 337 pounds, Starks has obvious potential. He started four games at left tackle last season when Marvel Smith was hurt, playing well. He started at right tackle in 2005 when the Steelers won the Super Bowl.
But now that he�s guaranteed $6.9 million, Starks is also guaranteed a starting job. Colon made just $669,000 last season. Will the Steelers play Colon ahead of someone who earns $6.9 million? No way.
If you don�t justify your investment, you expose your mistake. Sean Mahan got paid nearly $5 million last year. That�s why he started every game at center despite clearly sub-par play.
There is no way Starks can�t start. I wonder what Colon thinks of that?
I wonder what Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward think of Starks� new deal? Starks makes more than the average yearly value of each man�s contract. Polamalu, a four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro choice, averages $6.6 million per. Ward, a four-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro and Super Bowl XL MVP, averages $6.5 million per. The backup tackle will make $6.9 million.
Ward blows up even when there�s little reason. A financial injustice like this provides ample cause.
The Steelers screwed up.
Only one man can bail them out: Starks. Steelers management wants to renegotiate a long-term deal with Starks, who hasn�t ruled it out � at least not publicly, anyway.
But Starks would be foolish to renegotiate. If you make $6.9 million in one year, it doesn�t much matter what happens after. And, as noted, Starks� salary guarantees a starting job and the legitimate chance to prove himself that goes with it. Starks might get a little more guaranteed money if he accepts a longer contract, but would it be worth potentially putting himself on the bench?
The Steelers screwed up. Not Starks. He has no reason to help, although he could make the deal look better by maximizing his off-season preparation and getting himself into shape. If the Steelers keep him for the long run, maybe he ultimately replaces Smith at left tackle. That makes sense: Starks is getting left-tackle money now, earning more than Smith (who will make $6.45 million in 2008).
Then again, can the Steelers afford to keep Starks for the long run? What if he plays great this season? What will the Steelers have to pay him next season?
Starks� financial bonanza undoubtedly affected what the Steelers did on the first day of the NFL draft, though their picks can�t be faulted.
Instead of drafting linemen to shield quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, they chose to protect him with more options. Bruising running back Rashard Mendenhall and towering receiver Limas Sweed give the offense more variety, and the target painted squarely on Roethlisberger�s chest shrinks a bit as a result.
As an additional bonus, drafting Sweed gives Ward a chance to embark on one of his �I�m underappreciated� rants, perhaps with a bit of �I can see Ben got what he wanted� thrown in. Can�t wait.

Over a number of years this mailing list has consistently offered a high SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) as well as genuine entertainment value from a few of the contributors. Definitely one of the best ways to repay the list is to post a nice one or two page summary of 'what I bought' and 'how much it cost' and 'how does it work' and 'what are the problems'. This kind of unvarnished and immediate feedback is very useful in an environment where the hardware marketplace changes so quickly. Cheers, Bruce

Pug turned one on Friday.
To celebrate, we drove to down to Florida, where Ong and Ba Ngoai live, and where Grandma and Grandpa happened to be visiting. Among my most treasured photos are those of birthdays in which I was surrounded by grandparents, siblings and cousins -- a madhouse of familial cacophony. It was a great (if deafening) indoctrination for Pug. Pug's first birthday was spent with both sets of grandparents, Uncle Bo and numerous extended family members including second and third cousins. Uncle Stan very nearly made it too, but had a last minute work situation arise; Aunts Hani, Souris and Kaly were in between phases of traveling but all called to wish him a happy birthday.
When I was growing up, my mother made all of our cakes; I could not imagine outsourcing Baby's first cake so I made one based on the baby blocks cake from my shower. The cake was a lemon pound cake with cream cheese frosting and wrapped in colored sheets of white chocolate linen, which I use in lieu of fondant. I find the taste of fondant revolting; the chocolate linen serves the same function, but with superior flavor.
Tonight, we were at a restaurant with Ong Ba Ngoai (Grandma and Grandpa continued on their trip and will meet up again with us in two weeks) and Uncle Bo. Our server, noting the table littered with baby toys and homemade food laughed. "What did you ever do before a baby?" she queried.
Pug was a little more exhausted than usual; his birthday party yesterday began at 5 pm and ran through midnight, Pug conking out an hour later than his normal 8:30 pm bedtime; nestled in his sling in my arms, he rested his head on my chest and fell asleep.
What did we do before our Puggle?
We had forgotten how to appreciate the joys of discovery. Blasé and world weary, we have rediscovered how to enjoy long-forgotten "firsts." The first feel of rain on a cheek. The first taste of jam. The purring of a cat when a chubby hand is taught to stroke her back (and her startled shriek when a chubby fist grabs hold of her tail).
We did not know that hearts can literally melt when Baby smiles his first toothy grin.
We did not know there was such good in the world; or see a world of such danger.
We woke and slept at will; but we have accepted that the giggling we hear in the morning is the best wake up call imaginable.
We worked and earned a buck, but now with direction and purpose. Everything is for Puggle.
Before Puggle I did not know how warm a baby's body feels when he falls asleep on your chest, or how full he makes your arms feel.
The only other thing that overflows as much is your heart, and especially when you see your husband cuddling with your son.
I could go on and on. When Puggle was born, my aunt Lori sent me a message: "Welcome to true love," she wrote.
So back to the question: what did we do before Pug came along?
We were waiting to discover this true love in the best year ever of our lives.

those that throw the rocket off the aft end of an aircraft and fire it vertically loose a lot, probably half, of the DV advantages of air launch
Well, we could reuse them... problem is, NASA calculated in 1970 that a reusable (multistage, not SSTO!) launch vehicle becomes cheaper than an expendable around 50-60 flights a year... no problem! Shuttle will fly *100* times a year!!! (cough, cough...) Around 2000, NASA paid six companies (Orbital amongst them) several millions of $$$ to research "Seconf Generations RLV's" and they found out that RLV's become cheaper than ELV's at the rate of... are you ready?... 50-60 flights/year! Why? Isp amd mass fraction are the same today as they were in 1970.
antonioe - 19/8/2006 4:21 PMAny idea why t/Space intends to drop their rocket from an aircraft so it lights vertically even if it reduces the DV advantage of air-launch?Near-vertical launch loses the forward velocity and gravity losses of wing-assisted horizontal drop, but retains almost all of the pressure advantages of the altitude start. In particular, it would allow me to use a pressure-fed first stage, whereas a pressure-fed first stage at sea level would be the kiss of death.
Also, I could use relatively unmodified military cargo aircraft using a rear-ramp extraction method; if I had to launch 6 air-dropped rockets within 10 minutes, 6 C-17's would do the trick.
There is also the issue of the Orbital Pegasus patent, which covers the wing, although Im sure Orbital would be glad to license it at a very reasonable rate to anyone foolish enough to think theres a market there for another Pegasus-class vehicle
we barely make a living out of it
I would like to say that I'm impressed with what Orbital has accomplished. They were the first people to make commercial space work.
Surely the Pegasus wing patent has expired by now?
how much flight rate affects ELV pricing?
Would we come out ahead if we doubled/tripled the EELV flight rate by moving all Delta II size payloads onto it and ditching Delta II entirely?
laws preventing the use of surplus ICBM hardware for space launch are wise?
With 50 Peacekeepers left over, it seems like the payload side of the low-cost space problem could get a big boost from those being made available
Actually, not much of the forward velocity is lost. Keep in mind that the AirLaunch LLC (not t/Space) system does not use the parachutes and pallet the way SRALT/LRALT do. Ignition takes place when the rocket has pitched up to nearly vertical, but there is still significant forward velocity. Of course, the low thrust to weight of a liquid results in the vehicle continuing to fall for several seconds and the 90 deg AOA is not a normal launch vehicle design case.

Penguins defeat Flames for 10th straight home winby Wes Crosby
PITTSBURGH -- The beat keeps going for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
They defeated the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Saturday at Consol Energy Center for their seventh straight win and 10th in a row at home.
The Penguins led 4-1 in the second period before Flames forward Jiri Hudler brought Calgary within 4-3 1:03 into the third period. Matt Stajan backhanded a pass from behind the net to set up Hudler's one-time shot from in front of the net, his 10th goal of the season.
But the Flames could not get any of their final 12 shots past Marc-Andre Fleury to tie the game. Despite allowing more than two regulation goals for the first time in Pittsburgh's past seven games, Fleury won his League-leading 21st game, making 27 saves.
"[The defense has] been doing a great job," Fleury said. "They've been doing so well. They work hard to get the puck out of the zone and limit shots. They're patient and they've doing a great job."
The Penguins lead the Metropolitan Division by 13 points over the Washington Capitals, who lost 5-4 in overtime to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night, and the Eastern Conference by five points over the Boston Bruins, who beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-1.
Calgary finished a five-game road trip 1-2-2.
"I liked some things about our game," Flames forward Mike Cammalleri said. "The third period was strong, for sure. I thought we did a lot of good things and put some pressure on them and had some pretty close ones.
"Those are the bounces."
After Paul Byron scored to bring the Flames within 2-1 6:58 into the second period, the Penguins scored twice to regain a comfortable lead entering the third.
Sidney Crosby received a pass from Chris Kunitz and raced through the neutral zone before juking around Flames defenseman TJ Brodie and slapping a shot over Karri Ramo's glove for his 20th goal of the season and a 3-1 Pittsburgh lead at 14:44.
"I knew there was a lot of room in the neutral zone, so I was able to get some speed and saw the one D-man kind of commit a little too far over and tried to go back the other way," Crosby said. "I saw some room on the glove side, and I don't usually take too many slap shots, so I knew I had enough time to take a slap shot and was happy to see it go in."
Crosby, who leads the NHL with 54 points, also had two assists Saturday and extended his point streak to 10 games (18 points, seven goals).
James Neal scored his first goal since returning from a five-game suspension 4:11 after Crosby's goal to extend the Penguins' lead to 4-1. Matt Niskanen fired a slap shot into traffic in the Calgary crease and Neal deflected the shot past Ramo for his 11th goal of the season.
Cammalleri didn't take long to answer. He made it 4-2 by driving past Niskanen and wristing a shot past Fleury with 45.5 seconds left in the second period.
"In the second period, it started to get a little too close for comfort," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "Getting out to the 2-0 game there, in the second they had a few shifts, scored a goal. They did have some extended time in the offensive zone and we jumped back at them with Crosby's great goal at the end of a penalty kill, and with Kunitz, Crosby and Neal out and getting a goal to make it 4-1.
"They still kept coming and got back into it. Marc-Andre had to be big there for us."
After scoring in the opening minute of the past three home games, Pittsburgh took a bit longer to get on the board against Calgary. Pascal Dupuis' seventh goal of the season gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead 9:34 into the first period.
Kunitz whiffed on a shot near the left circle and the puck slid between Crosby's legs to the left of the crease. Crosby whipped a shot on goal, forcing Ramo to make a pad save. The puck bounced out to Dupuis in front of the net and he finished the play into the open goal.
Harry Zolnierczyk deflected a slap shot past Ramo 79 seconds later to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 2-0. It was Zolnierczyk's first point as a member of the Penguins.
Calgary forward Curtis Glencross left the game with a lower-body injury early in the first period. Defenseman Kris Russell also left the game with a lower-body injury with 8:28 remaining in the third. Flames coach Bob Hartley said each player will be evaluated Sunday.
"They're two great leaders, but at the same time, there's nothing we can do about injuries," Hartley said. "Unfortunately, it's part of our game and it's going to give opportunities to two more players to step in and get good chunks of ice time and get the job done. So, it's all about character right now.
"If we get good news, fine. If we don't get good news, we'll be facing adversity, and once again I think we'll have to step up."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A Jerusalem court on Wednesday found Jack Teitel, known locally as "the Jewish terrorist", guilty of two counts of murder, two attempted murders, and a string of other violent crimes.
In the late 1990s, Teitel murdered two Palestinian Arabs, one a bus driver and the other a shepherd.
A decade later, in 2008, Teitel planted a bomb disguised as a Purim gift basket at the doorstep of a Messianic Jewish pastor David Ortiz in the Samarian town of Ariel. The bomb critically wounded the Ortiz's son, then 15-year-old Ami Ortiz, who has since made a full recovery.
It was later revealed that Teitel had connections to extremist groups in Israel that regularly target Messianic Jews.
That same year, Teitel also attempted to bomb prominent left-wing professor Ze'ev Sternhell.
Teitel was arrested in 2009, and for years his defense team argued that the killer was mentally unstable, and therefore not responsible for his actions. In its decision on Wednesday, the court rejected that argument, and stated that Teitel would be sentenced for premeditated and willful crimes.

At the track, different bets have different difficulty levels. Win: You win if your horse finishes firstPlace: You win if your horse finishes first or secondShow: You win if you horse finishes first, second or third
As you can see, it is much easier to successfully bet a horse to show than it would be to cash a win bet. In pari-mutuel wagering, the riskier the bet, the higher the potential payoff.
If Silver Charm goes off at 5/1 and wins, you get a $12 return on your $2 win ticket. Depending on where the money was bet in the place and show pools, you may only get a $5 return for your $2 place ticket, and a $3 return on your $2 show ticket. The bottom line: If you would like to win more races, bet horses to place or show. If you want to go for a big payoff, bet on a horse to win - or venture into the exotics.

robbmatt needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 188 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
GABC Worship Ministry
We provide worship experiences for the multi-generational membership of Green Acres Baptist Church.
This logo will represent our entire Worship Ministry which consists of a very contemporary service of 16-35 year olds and a blended service of 30-70 year olds.
I want "Worship Ministry" to be the main point and "GABC" to be smaller.
Something that leans toward more modern than classical - but not too far. This logo needs to survive about 5-7 years before needing updating!
We are a large church in East Texas with around 15,000 members. Our church's website is http://www.gabc.org if you would like to learn more about us.
I am looking for a logo that will work well online (Facebook, etc.) as well as in print (color and black & white).
I tend to like symmetrical logos - more boxy - than swooshy designs, but I want something with some creative aspects to it.
I have submitted several logos that I am initially drawn too, but am not looking for a copy of any of these.
Experiment with different ideas - different graphic elements like hands raised in worship, music notes, a cross, fire, etc. An icon graphic that could be used relatively independently of other text may be useful.
Don't focus on using the initials WM because my audience has told me that reminds them too much of "Waste Management".
I look forward to seeing your creative ideas!
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

read the rules. practice the rules. sit around and make up characters and monsters. try to figure out why the rules are written the way they are.
during all that... find a good group to play with. which is a lot harder than it sounds. it is worth being picky about. it is also worth sitting in on a few games... not playing mind you, but just sitting and watching the dynamics and how various game play is handled. and you can do that while you are reading. if there are more than one group in your area, get permission to sit on several games with several groups. one can learn a lot that way.
oh, and if you like complex games with lots of options, switch to 3rd ed instead of 4th. ^^

Nichushkin, Horton power Cubeta's fantasy sleepersby Matt Cubeta
With few exceptions, the majority of top-tier players are established and well-known to the common fantasy owner. Though those players are integral components of a championship team, under-the-radar options with high potential -- better known as sleepers -- can pay huge dividends in fantasy leagues.
Whether drafted or added off waivers, these players typically are undervalued on draft day but ultimately can become major fantasy commodities by season's end. Sleepers are extremely unpredictable every season, but the bottom line is these players end up outperforming everyone's expectations, regardless of their age, team or position.
This week, NHL.com fantasy insiders Matt Cubeta, Pete Jensen and Matt Sitkoff take in-depth looks at underrated players who should be on your fantasy team's radar entering drafts. Each expert will provide 10 sleeper picks with corresponding stat projections (in order of preference), along with five additional candidates for fantasy owners to keep an eye on.
Find out who made the cut on Matt Cubeta's sleepers list from last season
1. Valeri Nichushkin, RW, Dallas Stars
Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. The No. 10 pick in the 2013 NHL Draft might not receive a ton of power-play ice time with Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky added to the picture, but as long as he can stick on that top line during even-strength play, fantasy owners should expect 25-plus goals, around 50 points and a phenomenal plus/minus.
Projection: 26 G, 28 A, plus-17, 24 PIMs, 8 PPP, 176 SOG
2. Nathan Horton, RW, Columbus Blue Jackets
Horton has already played 10 seasons in the NHL, but people tend to forget he's 29 years old, meaning he's very capable of returning to his 25-30 goal type seasons. While his Columbus debut wasn't exactly ideal (he missed 46 games because of injury and then finished with five goals and 19 points in 36 games), he is expected to be fully healthy entering the 2014-15 season, and that makes him a very sneaky fantasy draft pick. There was a time when he was all but a lock for 20-plus goals, 50-plus points and 50-plus penalty minutes and there's no reason to think he can't return to that form in his second season in Columbus. In fact, Horton has scored at least 20 goals in six seasons, he's had over 50 points in four and over 50 penalty minutes in six. Playing on a solid Blue Jackets team should result in a solid rating, plus he'll also receive around 2-3 minutes of power-play ice time and isn't afraid to put shots on goal. With the potential to start on the team's top line alongside budding superstar Ryan Johansen, Horton is one forward worth spending a late-round pick on.
Projection: 27 G, 27 A, plus-4, 58 PIMs, 14 PPP, 192 SOG
3. Mark Scheifele, C, Winnipeg Jets
In his first full NHL season, Scheifele didn't disappoint for the Jets. Before suffering a knee injury that cost him the final 19 games, Scheifele scored 13 goals and 34 points, and was plus-9 in 63 games. Looking ahead, there's reason to believe Scheifele can take his game to the next level. The No. 7 pick in the 2011 draft will line up as the team's No. 2 center behind Bryan Little and will likely have Evander Kane and either Blake Wheeler or Michael Frolik on his wings, depending on how the Jets format their right wings. Scheifele should also receive an uptick in power-play ice time (1:58 per game last season), and while he won't help much in the penalty minutes (14) or shots on goal categories (100), Scheifele's point potential makes him worth selecting with one of your final picks come draft day. Don't forget that in 2012-13 he had 39 goals and 79 points in just 45 games in his final OHL season prior to making the jump to the NHL.
Projection: 22 G, 34 A, plus-1, 28 PIMs, 14 PPP, 160 SOG
4. Christian Ehrhoff, D, Pittsburgh Penguins
Buffalo Sabres. Things didn't exactly work out in Buffalo, where he scored 16 goals and 87 points with a minus-23 in 192 games after scoring 28 goals and 94 points with a plus-55 in 159 games during his two previous seasons for the Vancouver Canucks. Now a member of the Penguins and on a one-year contract, look for Ehrhoff to bounce back in a big way. While his rating suffered in Buffalo, his point production was still solid (his 87 points ranked 32nd among all defensemen over that span) and if you add in his two seasons with the Canucks, his 181 points since 2009-10 are 13th among all defensemen. The one thing to keep a close eye on is whether Ehrhoff ends up on the top power-play unit for the Penguins. He has been a power play quarterback for years with the Canucks and Sabres, but in Pittsburgh there will be some competition (Kris Letang and Paul Martin). If he can find his way on that No. 1 group with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz up front, expect Ehrhoff's value to be sky-high and he could finish as a top-20 fantasy defenseman, like he was in Vancouver.
Projection: 11 G, 30 A, plus-6, 46 PIMs, 16 PPP, 167 SOG
5. Alex Galchenyuk, C/LW, Montreal Canadiens
There's no doubting Galchenyuk's talent and potential. He's already shown great promise in his first two NHL seasons with 22 goals and 58 points in 113 games. Entering his third season, Galchenyuk will be looked upon to play important minutes for the Canadiens, at even strength and on the power play. Prior to getting injured last season, Galchenyuk, 20, had 13 goals and 31 points in 65 games while receiving under 15 minutes of ice time per game. However, 10 of his points came on the power play, where he saw just over two minutes per game. The dual-eligible forward will play on one of the team's top two lines with Tomas Plekanec (whom he played 59 percent of his shifts with during his five Stanley Cup Playoff games) and has plenty of room to grow. Look to select him with one of your final picks come draft day.
Projection: 22 G, 27 A, plus-1, 44 PIMs, 15 PPP, 171 SOG
6. Josh Harding, G, Minnesota Wild
Projection: 37 starts, 23 wins, 2.40 GAA, .919 SV%, 4 SO
7. Justin Faulk, D, Carolina Hurricanes
In the past three seasons, among players under 22, four defensemen have more points than Faulk's 69, and only two have more than his 18 goals. He might not get the same kind of attention as Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler, but his production is very similar during that time frame. Have a look:
Fowler's past three seasons: 189 games -- 12 goals, 64 assists, 76 points
Faulk's past three seasons: 180 games -- 18 goals, 51 assists, 69 points
Fowler's plus/minus has been slightly better during that time (minus-17 to minus-24), but Faulk has 45 more penalty minutes and 56 more shots on goal. All said, they are comparable fantasy players. However, Fowler will get drafted several rounds before Faulk. Let someone else grab the valuable Fowler and you can grab Faulk much later and end up with similar production. Faulk is one of the most talented young defensemen in the NHL, and his 23:24 of ice time shows how much the Hurricanes trust him. He could even see a spike in power-play ice time (2:07 last season) where he had eight points, and if that's the case, Faulk could end up easily being a top-30 fantasy defenseman.
Projection: 9 G, 31 A, minus-2, 40 PIMs, 12 PPP, 161 SOG
8. Chris Stewart, RW, Buffalo Sabres
Since the 2011-12 season, only six players have at least 45 goals, 200-plus penalty minutes and a positive rating: Scott Hartnell, Milan Lucic, David Backes, Corey Perry, Alexandre Burrows and Chris Stewart. Stewart's 28-goal, 64-point season in 2009-10 may never happen again, but there's still value in drafting a player capable of scoring 15 goals and around 40 points with over 100 penalty minutes. And while his rating is likely going to take a hit playing for the Sabres, his role will be much greater than it was with the Blues, where he saw a lot of fourth-line minutes. Despite receiving just 13:41 of ice time per game last season in St. Louis, Stewart delivered 15 goals and 118 penalty minutes in 63 games. At 26 and in the prime of his playing career, Stewart should be a top-six forward for the Sabres and could even see top power-play minutes for Buffalo. If you can afford the potentially damaging rating, Stewart could end up a rewarding fantasy player in 2014-15.
Projection: 24 G, 18 A, minus-14, 112 PIMs, 13 PPP, 174 SOG
9. Aleksander Barkov, C, Florida PanthersJonathan Drouin might get more attention come draft day this season, but don't underestimate Barkov, whom the Panthers selected one pick ahead of Drouin in the 2013 draft. Barkov will be 19 at the start of the season, but he already has one NHL season under his belt (eight goals, 24 points in 54 games last season) and at 6-3, 213, the sky is the limit for the Finnish center. Barkov received just over 17 minutes of ice time per game last season, with 2:40 of that coming on the power play, proving the Panthers brass fully trust him with important ice time. He'll only get more and more minutes as the years progress, and eventually Barkov could be one of the first centers off the board in fantasy drafts. For now, you can expect him to be a 20-goal scorer with 40-50 points, and for those in keeper leagues, don't hesitate to draft him before the final round.
Projection: 20 G, 26 A, minus-6, 32 PIMs, 13 PPP, 159 SOG
10. Charlie Coyle, C/RW, Minnesota Wild
Coyle, like several of my sleeper picks, is a big, young forward with the promise of playing on one of his team's top lines. While he finished last season with just 12 goals and 30 points in 70 games, most of his 17:05 of ice time per game was spent on the team's top line with Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu. He should remain there for the 2014-15 season and that makes him worth drafting with one of your last picks. Coyle, 22, was a bit unlucky last season, converting just 8.9 percent of his 135 shots on goal. If that percentage bounces back to around 10 or 11 percent and he can increase the amount of shots he puts on net, Coyle should be a lock for 20-plus goals with solid peripheral stats.
Projection: 21 G, 27 A, plus-5, 52 PIMs, 8 PPP, 168 SOG
Other sleeper candidates: Cam Atkinson (Columbus Blue Jackets), Carl Hagelin (New York Rangers), Frederik Andersen (Anaheim Ducks), Seth Jones (Nashville Predators), Michael Frolik (Winnipeg Jets)

Opinions are just that. Opinions. They are not evidence or worthy of our consideration unless backed up by evidence and data. There are many opinions, floating around the blogosphere and newspaper opinion pieces, that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change lacks integrity and accountability. If this was true to any significant degree, it would be very serious for public policy.
At the same time, it is of paramount importance not to shoot the messenger should that messenger be trying to let you know of something really important.
The climate change panel is a messenger of unwelcome news and, given our human natures, is a classic shooting target - one of the Everly Brothers [from the harmony rock duo] died last week of a smoking-related lung disease, and it reminds me how tempting it was a few decades ago to discount [shoot] the medical research messengers who warned us of the risks of cigarette smoking.
First, my opinion. It is my view that there has been a quest for integrity and accountability in climate science since the panel was established, in 1988, when climate scientists and particularly their senior administrators, realised the importance to humanity of emerging evidence of the potential impacts of increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If that emerging evidence was to become more compelling, it was seen that there would be significant consequences for society and public policy.
At the same time, government and other agencies wanted an objective assessment of the state of knowledge. The establishment of the panel was a bureaucratic but novel response to the situation.
Is there historical evidence to turn my opinions into something stronger?
It is 1988. Some scientists see a potentially serious global problem. At that time, there are few precedents for assessing a global matter such as this, let alone to inform the world's communities and governments in a way that is objective, responsible, cautious and realistic.
A letter went out from the World Meteorological Organisation Secretary-General to all member states and the United Nations. An encompassing mechanism and terms of reference for the panel were developed on the basis of responses to that letter. Bureaucratic but fair.
The panel's mandate was to provide an authoritative assessment of the state of knowledge of the scientific basis for, potential impacts of and responses to, human-induced climate change. It would be an intergovernmental body, on which all 190-plus member countries of the UN could be represented, to ensure - and assure member countries - that the assessment of the latest knowledge would be based on the widest possible range of views in the published scientific literature. Thus we can see the elements of accountability built into the panel's early design.
With 25 years of hindsight, we can ask to whom the panel should be accountable and whether it has fulfilled its accountability requirement.
My opinion, as a scientist and former public servant, is that climate scientists should be accountable to our governments, our professional academies, our communities - including those who generate value, wealth, sustainability and social cohesion - and, last but not least, to the youngest section of our communities.
I cannot prove it, but most climate scientists I know feel a weight of responsibility on their shoulders for the knowledge they are producing, and an accountability to humanity to be responsible with that knowledge.
The panel is more than a collection of climate scientists, since member governments formally supervise the assessment to help ensure its scientific integrity and freedom from sectional agendas. I am unaware of any groundswell of concern that the panel denies information to government representatives or lacks accountability to them in any other way.
Representatives of 194 participating governments make up the panel, which sets the scope of the assessments and elects the bureau that oversees the detailed preparation of the reports. These reports are prepared by thousands of scientists who are selected, on the basis of their personal research records, for three working groups.
In 2010, the InterAcademy Council, a multinational organisation of science academies, reviewed the procedures and the panel's processes. They concluded that: ''The process used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to produce its periodic assessment reports has been successful overall.'' I can think of no reason for the council to have risked its reputation by putting its name to this statement, unless it was confident of its review findings.
Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principle; the quality or condition of soundness; completeness. Not to be confused with passion for your work, or having produced reasonable evidence that others may disagree with. Can we separate these in our thinking?
If a medico makes a diagnosis based on the best available statistical and medical evidence, do they have integrity? If the patient disagrees with the diagnosis, does this affect the integrity of the medico?
Given that the climate panel's reports are reviewed by thousands of scientists and hundreds of government representatives, we need hard facts before we can demonstrate lack of integrity. There have been mistakes in the panel's reports, but I am unaware of anyone having proven that they were due to a lack of integrity. Even though the InterAcademy Council review of the panel's processes looked at this and made recommendations to tighten procedures, it made no accusations of lack of integrity.
The community and the polity should call for ongoing transparency from the panel, and demand of it a stringent, continuous search for integrity and accountability. Those concerned with these matters should make specific suggestions for improvement. I urge governments, which rely heavily on the integrity of the panel's reports, to strengthen and refine global assessment. But don't shoot the messenger.

Since then, I hardly ever get bored with cooling questions, because I cannot remember that they've been asked. What were we talking about, again? Oh yeah, MPI and all that. I've actually been enjoying reading the discussion and not participating, since I'm a PVM kinda guy. But SINCE my name was invoked in vain, I'll make a single comment on the code quality issue, which is that underlying the discussion of communication pattern, blocking vs non-blocking, and directives is the fundamental scaling properties of the code and algorithm itself. So on the issue of whether MPI sucks because the application sucks -- well, possibly, but it seems more likely that the application sucks because its parallel scaling properties (with the algorithm chosen) suck. As to how "intelligent" the back end library should be at choosing algorithm -- I would say the BASIC library should be atomic, elementary, NOT algorithm level stuff. A thin skin on top of raw networking calls that provides the various things one always has to do oneself but not much more. Where one gets into trouble is where one uses a command that has a complex structure that doesn't fit your code without realizing it, and the reason you don't realize it is because all that detail is hidden, and isn't even uniform in RELATIVE performance across varying network hardware. In other words, to make MPI do more, either make it do less (in the form of commands that can be used to build "more" in a manner that is tuned to application and hardware) or be prepared to REALLY make it SMART behind the scenes. This isn't just MPI, BTW. PVM suffers from the same thing. I honestly think that both are limited tools in part BECAUSE they put too thick a skin between the programmer and the network. If you want real performance and complete control over communication algorithm, you probably have to use raw/low level networking commands, and write the appropriate "collective" operations for your particular application and hardware. Of course nobody does this -- not portable and a PITA to design/write/maintain. Or perhaps a few people DO do this, but they're programming gods. And this isn't crazy, really. rgb -- Robert G.

Child sexual abuse is in the news yet again, along with some surprising reactions to it. Two stories come to mind, the new Safe Schools Czar and Roman Polanski. First the former:
I don't remember the name of the first Czar to be appointed by President George H. W. Bush (the first to appoint one) but he was the Drug Czar and the only one for a time. I recall hearing some congressmen voice concern over someone being appointed without congressional vetting, hearing, or consent. It seemed a bit of an overreaction a the time (being that there was only one), but they were reassured by the president that he wouldn't start appointing them willy-nilly.
Enter President Obama... There are simply too many Czars to keep track of. But this latest flap is going down over a man, Kevin Jennings, who was recently appointed as the Safe School Czar and who had a history of illegal drug use. There was in immediate attempt to justify such a history as to make it appear to be an experience from which much useful wisdom had been acquired, even though he has yet to proclaim his behavior as wrong, stupid, or dangerous.
Now we hear that as a young, gay(?!?) teacher he was confided to by a student who was a victim of forced homosexual sex by an adult pedophile. But Mr. Jennings failed to make any attempt to protect the young boy from future sexual attacks. He did not report it, nor did he try to stop it. Read the full story at Michelle Malkin's blog.
President Obama's Czar appointees seem to be suffering from some perverted version of the Peter Principle. Rather than being promoted to the level of their incompetence, they are promoted BECAUSE (or in spite of) it. It brings to mind Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley (the first Daley and King Maker) and all the incompetent fools appointed by him to oversee various city services which continued to be colossal failures. Mike Royko wrote an illuminating book about this several years ago called BOSS. It's still a good read, and Royko's humor is still funny today.
Movie Director Roman Polanski was caught in Switzerland by American authorities for an incident that occurred 30 years ago in which he forced 13 year old Samantha Geimer to have anal sex after filling her with quaaludes and alcohol. He has been dodging American authorities ever since, but now sits in jail having been convicted years ago after a guilty plea (then released, then told to return to jail, at which time he fled).
Ala from Blonde Sagacity brings to light three Puff Ho (Huffington Post) pieces defending Polanski in spite of his behavior. And liberals are supposed to be pro-women???
Geimer wants the incident behind her and calls for Polanski's freedom. The crime occurred 30 years ago. BUT... what precedent would that set to let him go? And what if he decides to attack another 13 year old? He did it once before and no conversion of any kind has been documented. So why not again? Did he not have sex with a then-underage Nastasia Kinski, though voluntary? It's still statutory rape. As sorry as I am for Polanski's wife (Sharon Tate) being butchered by the Manson "family," I just don't think Polanski should be walking free.
The Main Stream Media seems to have little outrage over either of these stories. Yet it seems like just yesterday they were spitting mad over pedophile priests in the Catholic Church, calling for their heads and the heads of the Bishops above them. I guess it depends on whose ox is gored. Media bias? Or media complicity?!? You be the judge.

If you were at the NorCal Bonfire ignition tour in Downtown Sacramento you were stoked. The event brought in over 400 pumped consumers, and Bonfire reps to an old Broadway-style theater, The Crest, in downtown Sacramento.
The crowd was let in at 7:30pm to some insane beats spun by the local, DJ Squirt. As the crowd began to get restless in anticipation for the movie, Mike Mijangos went on stage with tech rep Ryan Schopen to tease the crowd into a frenzy with free product donated by Bonfire and Ground Zero Boardshop.
"Three-quarters of the people who went to the event came home with something," said Seth one of Ground Zero's three owners. "It was cool to see the first 50 kids go after their free grab bag."
As the night went on so did the antics. From free goggles provided by Oakley, to free lift tickets, videos, T-shirts, and beanies. And two lucky winners walked home with a free snowboard from Salomon. The crowd was then treated to a screening of Straight Jacket Films Unleashed and Mack Dawg's Stand and Deliver.
As the event rounded up, the buzz was in full effect. Kids were stoked and people said that the event was the best they had seen in a long time!
But in true NorCal style the event didn't stop at the video premiere, the "buzz" turned to debauchery. Those who were 21 and over were treated to the afterparty of all afterparty's. Harlows nightclub in mid-town Sac hosted the Bonfire afterparty in a private lounge upstairs called the MoMo lounge. There, friends and guests of Ground Zero Boardshop and Bonfire enjoyed drinks on the house, pool, and club-style music which was again spun by DJ Squirt. Fun was had by all, and the vibe at the end of the night was when does this event come back?
Stay tuned as the Bonfire Ignition Tour continues to travel across the country. Look for upcoming dates in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and Seattle.

But a special treat still awaited them this morning as Kamal used innovative technology to his advantage to connect with his fans worldwide.
The actor launched the Auro 3D trailer of the film at Satyam Cinemas before the media and also interacted with fans in 30 odd centres via live webcasting. In this way they could get a glimpse of him and his speech even though he couldn't reach them personally on this special day.
Said Kamal: "Satyam cinemas have been specially equipped to host the Auro 3D equipment which makes the sound levels seem as if they are coming out of one`s head. I am grateful to Kiran and Swaroop Reddy for their special gesture. 25 odd screens in the state have also been equipped with this special sound effect. Others will see it in the normal 5.1 sound effect."
First a short trailer of 1.20 seconds in normal mode was shown after which the longer Auro 3D trailer was screened for the media. Over 3000 prints of the film will be released in three languages and the film may also proceed to Hollywood as arrangements are being made for that, given the scale and quality of the movie.

BREAKING NEWS: Several People Stabbed At Lone Star College Near Houston, TX
It's being reported that at least 14 people were injured (most of them stabbed) at a college near Houston, Texas. Investigators told Click2Houston that they are searching for two suspects.
Volunteer firefighters from the area were called out to a stabbing at Lone Star College, around 11:20 a.m. College officials have said the incident happened at the health sciences building.
Paramedics told Click2Houston that at least four of the victims were transported to a nearby hospital via helicopter. Eight others were transported by ambulance, and two others refused medical care.
Officials from the school haven't said if the victims are staff, students, or a combination of the two.
This is the second time this year that Lone Star College has been in the news. Back in January, a shooting occurred on the campus as well.

Ravi Singh needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 16 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Schoolarship is organization that will lower the amounts of students with debt. We will provide students with education grants which can be used to pay for their tuition. The funds will be provided by advertisers.
Schoolarship is fun, dynamic and energetic.
A little comment on how I use the star system:
1 and 2 star - This will be eliminated, as we feel that it is far from a workable concept for us, but we will comment on potential great elements that we would like to stick around.
3 star - This is a good design, but lacks elements or "feel and soul" to really be amongst the top players.
4 star - This is very great design! Lacks only small elements to be a 5star.
5 star - This is perfection! This is one of the absolute top contenders, and will fight against other 5star ratings for the first prize.
Sponsors (advertisers, i.e. large to small corporations/businesses)
These sponsors typically target students (17-25 year old) and are in industries such as clothing, finance, entertainment to name a few.
There will be a separate application developed for Schoolaship where students will be able to interact with the advertiser sponsored content. This site will be our corporate site where students, sponsors and the general public can find information about us and our purpose/goal.
The site needs to communicate our company values: fun, dynamic and energetic, while maintaining some professionalism. It's very important to remember that we are trying to lower student debt through an unconventional method and means.
It needs to be clean and engaging, highlighting our purpose and goals. I've included the logo elements and font for reference. Below are some of the items that we will have on the site:
- a horizontal nav layout (including a stylized dropdown)
- a standard button
- a container for sub content
- different treatments for fonts such as headers, content, links
- image container treatment
Deliveries in Adobe PSD format. The winning design MUST be well layered so that it is easy for the coder to work on it, so please also attach comments if you feel it will make the coders life easier.
The width should be around 900px. No greater than 990px wide.
We require two pages of our site to be designed:
first page is a splash ,
second page is a generic content page containing all the elements we would need.
While we're not a non profit, our model and offering will have the same effect, as we're giving back to students. The below websites have a clean professional feel, but the seem to lack the engagement and fun aspect. That needs to be included in the Schoolarship site. Feel free to stray from these, they're only examples.

Here's how to connect Excel to the AT:
- Download and install the ODBC driver for MySQL here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html.
- Configure the ODBC Data Source (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) > Add >MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver)
- Enter your AT database connection settings
- Open Excel
- Click on Data >From Other Sources > From Data Conenction Wizard > ODBC DSN > [the database/connection you just set-up in step 3]
- Select what you want to import
Voila! It's as easy as that.Right now we're working on constructing more complicated MySQL queries typically used for end-of-year analysis and reporting, which we will then similarly connect to Excel to allow our staff to manipulate the data as needed. Here is where a little MySQL knowledge goes a long ways!
In the end, we thought this was a much more efficient and effective means for providing our staff with customizable reporting functionality from the AT. For one, our staff are more comfortable with and regular uses of Excel. Second, there is much more documentation and training options available for using Excel and its many advanced features.
We ran into a bit of a dead end trying to connect custom MySQL queries to Excel. It was easy enough to connect the tables, but connecting to custom queries proved troublesome. Instead, we are now using SharePoint, which does allow you to create custom SQL queries and stored procedures. If interested, more information on how to set this up can be found here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/sharepoint-designer-help/add-a-database-as-a-data-source-HA010100908.aspx#BM6.

As you remark, it really depends on how reliable your power is. The vast majority of our power outages are either just blips or last under a minute. The blips are enough to reboot the computers. Generally (for us) if power goes out for more than a couple of minutes there is a good chance that it is going to be out for long enough that the nodes will need to be shut down. Having the whole cluster on UPS power saves a lot of down time. Whether it is one large UPS or many small ones (a la Google) depends on your setup. One large one is easy to manage but it is expensive (and noisy! our Liebert emits a terrible high frequency noise). The small ones (one per node) are a lot cheaper but there is a lot of clutter unless you can do something similar to Google, but those aren't commodity parts. Steve
