STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) Penn State coach Bill O'Brien has turned to a junior college prospect to help replenish depth at quarterback.
Tyler Ferguson signed a letter of intent Thursday to play for the Nittany Lions. Ferguson, who played this year at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia, Calif., will be eligible next season and plans to enroll in January.
The sooner he arrives, the better for Penn State's depth chart, which is woefully thin at quarterback with record-setting starter Matt McGloin and third-stringer Shane McGregor both seniors and out of eligibility.
Ferguson will join Steven Bench, the backup to McGloin as a freshman this year, as the only two scholarship quarterbacks come January. They'll likely compete for the starting job during spring practice.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Ferguson threw for 2,614 yards and 22 touchdowns in 10 games for College of the Sequoias this year, completing 55 percent of his passes.
Ferguson will have four years to finish three remaining years of eligibility. He was initially committed to Houston until O'Brien called last week.
``I mulled it over, called Houston the next day and de-committed and then the next morning (Saturday), I called and committed to Penn State,'' Ferguson said during a signing ceremony in his hometown of Bakersfield, Calif., The Bakersfield Californian reported.
Bench played sparingly behind McGloin, who broke the school record with 46 career touchdown passes, including 24 in 2012 to tie Daryll Clark (2009) for the team's single-season mark.
O'Brien said this week that Bench seems to be off to a good start in the offseason.
``He's working hard, doing all the things that a good quarterback has to do,'' O'Brien said in an interview with The Associated Press. ``At the end of the day, it's going to be how he does in the spring, just like every other player.''
Bench worked his way up the depth chart and supplanted Paul Jones, a sophomore, as the backup by Week 2. Jones left the program in September, further depleting Penn State's depth after Rob Bolden transferred to LSU over the summer.
Bolden, who began the previous two seasons as starter before losing the job to McGloin, left Penn State in the summer after O'Brien settled on McGloin as his first stringer following spring practice. Both Bolden and Jones were once highly touted recruits under the late coach Joe Paterno.
O'Brien, in his first season on the job, spiced up the Penn State passing game and turned McGloin, a former walk-on, into one of the top quarterbacks in the Big Ten.
Penn State also has a verbal commitment from blue-chip high school prospect Christian Hackenberg of Fork Union, Va. While Hackenberg cannot officially commit until February, he has been vocal about his dedication to the Nittany Lions despite the sanctions handed down by the NCAA in July against the school for the child sex abuse scandal involving retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
Ferguson became a priority for Penn State after Iowa Western's Jake Waters, considered one of the country's top junior college quarterbacks, chose Kansas State over Penn State last week.

Fitting In
Listing Two has a major issueit assumes no limits on the size of its data structures. But the space in an LS is limitedcode, stack, global data, and heap must fit in 256 KB. Therefore, we leave Q, Qnext, and G in main memory, and operate on smaller buffers, called bQ, bQnext, and bG, respectively, which are allocated in the LS. Figure 1 describes the new algorithm.
Step 1 fetches a portion of Q into buffer bQ via a DMA transfer. We hide the latency of this transfer with a double-buffering technique. In short, while buffer 0 is being processed, new data are transferred into buffer 1. When we finish processing buffer 0 and transferring buffer 1, we swap the buffers: Buffer 1 comes into use, and another transfer is initiated on buffer 0; see Listing Three (available at http://www.ddj.com/code/). The same technique is used for putting bQnext into main memory (in Step 6).
Step 2 scans vertices in bQ and loads the respective adjacency lists in bG until bG is full. Also, bG is managed as a double buffer. But adjacency lists are sparse blocks in main memory, therefore, multiple transfers are needed. We carry them out with a DMA list. The Cell supports DMA lists up to 2048 transfers, each involving up to 16 KB. You must know the size of each transfer in advance to set it up in the DMA list, but there is no obvious way to know the size of an adjacency list before loading it. We solve this with a hack we represent vertices with vertex codes; for instance, a 32-bit word where the upper bits contain the vertex identifier, and the lower bits contain its adjacency list length. The results are given in Listing Four (available at http://www.ddj.com/code/), where macros VERTEX_CODE_TO_INDEX and VERTEX_CODE_TO_LENGTH extract the two fields from a vertex code. With the help of the length field, Step 2 can stuff the maximum possible amount of adjacency lists into bG, minimizing wasted space.
Step 3 splits the adjacency lists loaded by Step 2 into the respective Qouts. To expedite this process, at graph generation, we prepare adjacency lists in the graph in a split per-SPE format. A header specifies the offset and length of each per-SPE portion of that list.
Step 4 is an all-to-all exchange in which each SPE delivers each of the Qout queues into a Qin inside its respective recipient. To detect at recipient side when each Qin is ready, we use a sentinel. The sentinel is a flag that the sender sets when the transfer is complete. To detect transfer completion, the recipient waits for the sentinel to change value. Hardware support is employed to guarantee that sentinels are not transferred before their payload. That is, we interleave payload and sentinels in a DMA list and employ a DMA list with a barrier; for instance, intrinsic mfc_putlb in Listing Five (available at http://www.ddj.com/code/).
For maximum efficiency, we avoid the transfer of Qout[i] to the same SPE i, and we schedule transfers in a circular fashion that exploits the geography of the EIB. The send order is computed by init_all_to_all() and stored in Qout_send_order; see Listing Five. The order and coordinates of transfers are known in advance, so the DMA list can be prepared once for all at program initialization. Thanks to this, Step 4 boils down to just a call to mfc_putlb.
Step 5 scans the vertices in each incoming Qin queue; if they were not marked before, it adds them to its Qnext and marks them. Step 5 is the most expensive step of the algorithm and hardest to optimize.
Step 6 commits Qnext to Qnext in main memory with double buffering. The same considerations made for Step 1 apply.
To achieve the best results, we overlap computation and data transfers as much as possible. Due to double buffering, an iteration takes two "scheduling periods," but iterations are pipelined, so one iteration completes at each period. With the aforementioned parameters, a period lasts 47 microseconds and processes 2700 edges on average. The latency of data transfers is completely hidden. Computations never have to wait for data being transferred. The overall latency is determined by the sum of all computations.

Check out John Graham-Cumming's ambient bus arrival monitor that he built out of a hacked Linksys wireless router that pulls data from London's Countdown service and lets him know how long he has to wait until the next one.
Underlying this is a simple JSON API that, while not public, seems to be usable by the average programmer as long as I'm not abusive. So with its details deciphered (hardly hard since the web site uses the API) I set about building an ambient bus monitor into a model London bus. The idea is that I can glance at the bus and see the times of up to the next two buses that I'm likely to want to catch and know when to leave the house.
JGC, of course, wrote the amazing Geek Atlas and has been dabbling in all sorts of cool projects.

"The Vampire Diaries": In "The Originals" backdoor pilot (Episode 20 this season), Klaus will meet the beautiful and intelligent Camille, a psychology student at Tulane in New Orleans. Like Elena before her, Cami is a human, unaware of the "supernatural storm" brewing around her -- but she's certainly intrigued by the darker side of the French Quarter. She'll be particularly drawn to Klaus, because as a smart and curious student, she's intrigued by one question in particular: What makes someone evil? If anyone can answer that, it's our very own Original hybrid. If "The Originals" gets picked up to series, Cami will be a regular cast member. (Also, some good news for you purists -- in addition to Atlanta, we're hearing that some scenes for the episode will actually be shot in New Orleans.)

Isis Taylor
Almost everyone has been a little hard up for cash before. Some more than others, but the feeling is pretty ubiquitous. Well, that feeling drove Ramon to commit a little burglary. Too bad he picked a house that wasn't empty. Luckily, it was occupied by 18-year old hottie Isis Taylor with an ass that will make you wonder what the fuck they are putting in the meat and milk these days. Sensational ass... But back to Ramon... He wasn't slick and he got confronted at knife point. Seemingly vanquished, he did what any man would do. He begged for her to not call the cops. She was pissed, but after a little bit of very sexy deliberation, she decided to let his dick be the jury. If it met her lofty standards and he could wield it like a wu shu master with one of those kind of bendy swords, she would give him a get out of jail free card. Lucky for him, he had fucked a woman once or twice in the past and gave her pussy what for. Back in her bedroom the banging began and finished with an explosive ending. Plenty of great shots of this girls highly photogenic ass.

CLEMSON, SC – Clemson center Dalton Freeman has been named a second-team Capital One Academic All-America team selected by CoSIDA, the College Sports Information Directors of America. He is the first Clemson football player to make one of the two academic All-America teams since 2001 when Kyle Young and Chad Carson were both first-team selections.
Combined with his selection to the American Football Coaches Association All-America team, Freeman is the fourth football player in Clemson history to be named an All-American on the field and in the classroom in the same year.
The others who have had the All-America double are Lou Cordileone (1959), Steve Fuller (1978), and Kyle Young (2000 and 2001).
Freeman already has one undergraduate degree from Clemson and he will receive a second later this month. He has a 3.52 career grade point average. He was one of three ACC players named. Dustin Hopkins, a kicker at Florida State, was a first-team selection, while Perry Simmons, an offensive lineman at Duke, was a second-team choice.
Freeman was also named one of six finalists for the 2012 Rimington Award, the honor presented each year to the top center in college football. It was the second consecutive year that Freeman was named a finalist. He is the second two-time Rimington Award finalist in Clemson football history. The other was Kyle Young, a finalist in 2000 and 2001.
Freeman was named a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association last week and has helped the Tigers to a 10-2 record, a number-14 final ranking in the BCS, and a third ACC Atlantic Division Championship in his four years. He is the first center in Clemson history to be named first-team All-American.
Freeman was a first-team All-ACC selection at center for the second consecutive year. He is the first Clemson center to make first-team All-American and the first center to make first-team All-ACC twice. He was also a two-time ACC Lineman of the Week this year, one of just two ACC linemen to win that honor twice.

A new audit by the State Comptroller finds that out of a sample of state workers at state agencies and authorities, more than one fifth were double dipping, being paid for two jobs while doing only one.
Comptroller Tom DiNapoli audited six state agencies and authorities, including the MTA and the departments of prisons and mental health, as well as the state's unified court system. His office randomly sampled the work records of 345 employees, and found 75 regularly violated time and attendance policies, and were paid for a total of $413,277 in hours that they did not actually work.
"As we find too often in our audits, the proper controls have not been in place," DiNapoli said. "The agencies need to do a better job."
Other workers were found to have falsified their time sheets, abused sick leave, and exaggerated the amount of time it took to travel form one job to another.
The audit cites several examples, without naming names. One is of an MTA track equipment manager who also worked for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. The employee worked four overlapping hours each week, for a total of over $8,000 during the course of a year. A court employee who also worked for the City University of New York was scheduled to teach classes during the same time he was supposed to be at his courtroom job. A psychiatric nurse who worked for the state Office of Mental Health was simultaneously being paid as a nurse at a nearby school. And an Office of Developmental Disabilities employee said he was sick for a total of eight days, and got paid sick leave, while he was actually traveling to out of state basketball games as part of his other job at the State University of New York.
Comptroller DiNapoli says it's particularly egregious "in an era where we're all very concerned about not wasting resources and protecting taxpayer dollars."
Though a number of the violations found are technically illegal, the Comptroller is not recommending that any charges be pressed. He says it's up to the Cuomo Administration's individual agencies and authorities to decide whether to get the money back from the workers. But he says his office will be recalculating how much of their pay is accrued to the state pensions that they are scheduled to eventually collect, and will be downsized to reflect the hours that they double dipped.
DiNapoli says the agencies involved did not react defensively, instead they agreed that they need to tighten up their policies for employees holding more than one job title to prevent double timing in the future .
The Comptroller says he plans more audits of state agencies specifically looking for more instances of employee abuses, though at this point he would not characterize the problem as systematic or rampant.
The Comptroller overall was not highly critical of Governor Cuomo or any of the governor's appointed commissioners of any of the agencies or authorities cited in the audits. The report comes on a day that Governor Cuomo signed a bill requested by DiNapoli into law. It will give the Comptroller new powers to audit providers of pre-kindergarten for special needs children, an industry that has seen its share of scandal.
"We don't want to see these providers enrich themselves at the expense of the kids," DiNapoli said.
The Comptroller will now be auditing all of the over 300 providers who are paid $1.4 billion dollars on a regular basis.

The United States used U.S.-Israeli spy software to hack into the French presidential office earlier this year, the French cyberwarfare agency has concluded, according to the newsmagazine l'Express.
The magazine reported late Tuesday that the computers of several close advisers to then-president Nicolas Sarkozy – including Chief of Staff Xavier Musca – were compromised in May by a computer virus that bears the hallmarks of Flame, which was allegedly created by a U.S.-Israeli team to target Iran's nuclear program. Anonymous French officials pointed the finger at the United States.
"You can be on very good terms with a 'friendly' country and still want to guarantee their unwavering support – especially during a transition period," an official told the magazine. The alleged spying attack took place a few days before the second round of the French presidential elections, which Sarkozy lost to Francois Hollande, a socialist.

First things first: Thompson must get new deal before McCarthy
GREEN BAY — Before Mike McCarthy gets a contract extension, the Green Bay Packers will have to get a deal done with his boss, general manager Ted Thompson.
That's what Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Tuesday, during a break in the NFL Spring Meeting in Atlanta.
Thompson, 61, just finished his 10 th draft as the Packers' GM and is under contract for two more years, through the 2016 NFL Draft. McCarthy, 50, is about to embark on his ninth season as the Packers' coach and is under contract for two more seasons, through the end of the 2015 campaign. Both men signed five-year contracts in 2011, after leading the team to the Super Bowl XLV title following the 2010 season.
Murphy disputed a May 3 report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn that Murphy had begun working on an extension for McCarthy. The Journal Sentinel report was very detailed, going so far as to point out that Murphy's decision to start working on a new deal with McCarthy "was met by some grumbling" from members of the Packers board of directors.
McGinn also wrote that Murphy presumably wouldn't have entered negotiations with McCarthy without having some assurances from Thompson that he planned to work beyond the final two years of his contract.
"That was actually an inaccurate report. From a sense of, the way we're structured, football reports to Ted, and everything reports up to me," Murphy told Rapoport. "So the first step would be to extend Ted, and then he would in turn enter into an extension for Mike."
Asked if that meant that he, as team president, would sign Thompson to an extension first, Murphy replied, "Yes. [The coach] should be the general manager's decision."
Asked if talks were underway with Thompson about a new deal, Murphy refused comment.
"I can't talk about that," he said. "But that's the structure.
Thompson was asked a series of questions about his future during a press briefing last Saturday following the team's rookie orientation camp. He refused to be specific about how long he intends to work, declining to even say whether or not he would finish out his current contract.
Asked what his plan was, Thompson replied, "I don't really have one. I've never had one. I wouldn't anticipate doing anything different."
And when asked if he could say with certainty that he would remain GM through the end of his current contract, Thompson replied, "Certainty is a fairly strong word. I'm feeling good and ready to go."
That said, Thompson did seem to be in better spirits after seeming to be under the weather at his pre-draft news conference on May 1 and undergoing an undisclosed medical procedure that caused him to miss the NFL Meetings in Florida in March, when he was able to work but unable to travel.
"I feel pretty good," Thompson said before explaining what keeps him going. "I think when you're in the scouting business, it's the chase [that drives you]. … You're hoping to find that diamond that nobody else has found. And that's hard to do with the coverage we have in the NFL and the scouting departments that are all around the league. But I think it's the chase, and coming together, and most importantly the Sundays or Mondays or Thursdays when you've won the game and you're in a winning locker room. That's as good as it gets."

Port of Milwaukee cargo count drops 30 percent
Mild 2011-12 winter affects amount of cargo, officials say
MILWAUKEE — The amount of total cargo traveling through the Port of Milwaukee decreased 30 percent in 2012.
The amount went from nearly 2.9 million metric tons in 2011 to about 2 million metric tons in 2011.
Port officials said the biggest factor driving the decline was last year's mild winter, which led to smaller volumes of both salt and coal arriving by ship.
Typical cargo coming through Milwaukee includes steel that is used in local manufacturing and large finished goods that are shipped around the world.
The amount of cargo traveling to and from foreign ports increased nearly 35 percent in 2012. The port also saw increases in steel, grain and cement in 2012 over 2011.

It wants to introduce a "Convergence and Competitiveness Instrument" that commits Member States to the implementation of reforms for financial support in turn. Moreover the Commission wants to establish "ex ante coordination for major economic policy reforms" in EU law.
The European Commission argues in favour of an early agreement on Climate and Energy Policy to 2030. The discussion centres on the question of the number and definition of targets and how these can be achieved, efficiently and effectively, taking account of competitiveness and security of supply.
The EU Commission argues in favour of including all major "economies and economic sectors" into an international climate change agreement with legally binding emission reductions and introducing carbon pricing for international aviation and maritime transport.
The maximum permitted size and weight of commercial vehicles is regulated EU-wide. The Commission now wants to permit exemptions to the maximum limits to allow more aerodynamic tractor cabs and streamlining devices on the rear (flaps) in order to reduce fuel consumption and thus greenhouse gas emissions. The maximum weight of commercial vehicles with electric and hybrid-engines will also be increased because these are heavier than conventional trucks and this reduces their permitted load.
The right to the freedom of movement for workers is granted to all EU citizens by way of Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and the Regulation on the freedom of movement [VO (EU) No. 492/2011]. Nevertheless, many EU citizens consider themselves subject to obstacles when it comes to the exercise of this right. The Commission therefore wants to enhance enforcement of the freedom of movement for workers.
The Commission initiates a discussion on a range of possible measures which could help to promote the long-term financing of investment. These include government-backed savings models, greater focus on the capital markets in relation to financing, more voting rights for long-term shareholders and investment funds aimed at long-term investors.
The Commission wants to combat unfair trading practices by laying down requirements on the content of contracts between companies in the supply chain. Unfair trading practices result from unequal negotiating power and unequal levels of information on the part of the contracting parties.
The European Commission intends to promote the dissemination of green products and green commercial practices by ways of transparency and consistency with the labelling of environmental performances of products and practices. Within a three-year test phase, the Commission recommends to apply its developed methods of the "Product Environmental Footprint" and that of the "Organisation Environmental Footprint".

Brewed By: Penobscot Bay Brewery
Style: American Brown Ale
Purchased: Burby and Bates
Red Flannel pours a dark, shadowy chestnut color with a huge khaki colored head that settled but did not die, this bottle seems very carbonated.
The nose is malty, picking up some biscuit, a touch of dark chocolate and some fruity notes. The hops are coming through with a subtle earthy aroma. Alcohol mingles in there as well but isn't a prominent aroma.
First sip is malty, sweet like caramel and brown sugar, but the sweetness isn't overpowering, the carbonation seems to lift it off your palate so it doesn't become overwhelming. Mid sip there is a faint dark cherry flavor that reminds me of a Belgian Dubbel. The beer finishes with a slight bitterness that isn't really a flavor so much as feeling on the back of your tongue.
Overall a nice beer to sip on a cool Maine evening, like the clothing it's named for, this one will warm you up. I was surprised by the complexity, it wasn't what I was expecting out of a brown ale and I like that. Look for a bottle at your local bottle shop or check out the Penobscot Bay Brewery's website for hours and visit for a growler.

The fundamental trends for UGI are awful. Revenue is weak as is EPS growth. However, the stock price is in an uptrend of late. Thanks to Don W. for sending in this name.
Horowitz & Company's proprietary Fundamental Scoring System (F|score) takes into consideration many factors related to each company's financial history and outlook. This system is oriented toward a growth model and therefore will give a higher score to those companies which continually show increasing earnings per share and revenue over time. Over the long-run (and when looking to purchase a security) we prefer companies with a track record of growth and solid fundamentals. In the short-term however, it is price / technicals that pay. When investing, we combine both of these analyses to seek out possible investment opportunities within our universe of stocks.
Looking to invest in The Disciplined Investor Managed Growth Strategy?
Click HERE for the virtual tour….
This stock ranks below average in fundamentals and would not be considered an option that we would invest in the long-term. For those with a higher risk tolerance, it is possible to enter a speculative position with caution as this market has been much about bottom feeding on the worst of the worst companies. See below for details on where this company thrives and possibly some of the drawbacks:
We find that EPS Growth on a Quarter over Quarter basis is one of the strongest components when screening for growth stocks. Continued EPS Growth in a company generally shows strength in leadership, the ability to manage expenses and improve the bottom line. Over the last three quarters, this company has not done as well producing EPS Growth Rates last quarter, 2 quarters ago and 3 quarters ago 0.00%, -10.95%, -17.20% respectively.
Revenue Growth similar to EPS Growth is also a strong component to consider when screening and scoring for growth companies. Continued growth in revenue shows that the company is innovative, marketable and its products remain relevant in the marketplace. Over the last three quarters, this company has not done as well producing revenue growth rates last quarter, 2 quarters ago and 3 quarters ago 15.54%, 11.30%, -4.35% respectively.
The 5 Year EPS Growth Rate has detracted from the fundamental score with a value of 4.54.
Last quarter this company reported Earnings per Share -233.33% worse than analysts had expected. We believe this surprise, although only for one quarter, could set a trend for future earnings reports and guidance.
Horowitz & Company's proprietary Technical Scoring System (T|score) takes into consideration both individual security technicals as well as the overall market direction when considering whether or not to purchase a company. H&C's Market Trend Indicator (MTI) is a measure which is designed to evaluate the overall trend in the market. There are four designated levels to assess the trend which include: Strong Downtrend, Downtrend, Rally and Strong Rally. We are currently in an environment where the MTI is in a Downtrend.
All of our indicators are showing that the markets are attempting to rally out of a Strong Downtrend or have pulled back from a Rally. Although one should still remain cautious when purchasing individual securities, this may be the time for those with a higher risk tolerance to begin to enter the market or add to those positions with a high level of technical scoring. With that in mind, this stock ranks in the mid to below average percentile of stocks from an individual security technical score. H&C would not consider purchasing this position in any general market with the exception of a Strong Rally. H&C would be hard pressed to purchase this position even in a Strong Rally considering all other companies that may score higher technically in our growth model.
Below are some of the key technical areas where UGI Corp (UGI) excelled or detracted from the value of the T|score:
Stochastics are currently showing some bearish attributes which may mean this stock is slightly overbought in the short run.
In terms of price and volume especially over a short period of time it is important to see if there is any weight behind either a rally or correction. The stock has shown to have less than favorable price and volume action and may have a higher potential to move lower if the overall market and economy are to trend lower. Higher volume with negative price also will provide resistance levels for this position if it were to rally back to these levels.
On a 12-month rolling period, this company has not performed as well when comparing against its peers and equities in the S&P 1500. This is often seen as a potential negative sign as it shows weakness relative to the overall market.
H&C currently sees UGI Corp (UGI) in a Short Term Uptrend and Long Term Uptrend.

Professional Carpet & Rug Cleaning
Sheepskin is a relatively user-friendly material – a good shaking can go a long way to take care of loose dirt and dust. Although frequent washing is not recommended, since it will strip the wool and backing of protective oils, it will be necessary once in a while. However! Washing should be done by a professional; this will help your rug avoid shrinkage and color bleeding – particularly in the case of dyed wool or colored trims.
As the Sheepskin rug experts in NY we invite you to entrust us with yours, to bring back its softness and clarity of color.
Our cleaning process (using organic products that do not affect the fibers of the rug) includes: stain and spot removal – whether pet stains or other matter. This is followed by a gentle hand washing and heat and light free drying, to keep the rug as close to its original size as much as possible.
With expert technicians to inspect any damage, whenever possible a funky sheepskin will be repaired to look again like that rug that you brought home from the store.
Even a wrinkled rug can be stretched or re-blocked; necessary repairs as a fold in the rug will eventually become fragile and tear.
The most beautiful, valuable rug can sustain deterioration and damage from built-up wear and tear. Fading can be caused by foot traffic, sunlight and soaked-in liquids. Pet mishaps can stain and even burn the fibers.
A rug with color fading might be moved to an out-of-the-way spot, or a piece of furniture put over the marks (which can lead to different problems of dents in the rug), or even reluctantly put in the trash. But we believe that any favorite piece can be brought back to its original beauty.
To restore faded areas, we only use the best natural dyes to bring back your rug's wealth of color. Colors are mixed until the perfect shade is obtained. Our highly-specialized color restoration team has the skills, equipment and supplies to do the job properly.
Not everyone has the background and equipment to fix a damaged Turkish rug. They are unique in nature and deserve a delicate process that keep its colors and look alive and well. We provide you with complete repair services of Turkish area rugs, in NYC.
With daily use, your rug can suffer from wear and tear, as well as color fading or any other condition that warrants professional expert repair. We combine the best tools in the industry with expert knowledge that has been around for ages, to give your rug the care it needs. Sometimes it will be necessary to use high-tech tools especially made for us, and sometimes we will use old fashioned backing techniques to give it the support it needs.
Fully Restored Turkish Rugs. A Turkish rug can bring a hint of the Oriental to your NYC home. Whether your trusty Turkish treasure is an old family heirloom or a modern addition from a recent holiday, you'll want it to get expert care if it needs restoration.
Your Turkish rug could be damaged by spilt water or water marked from pot plants, faded by sunlight or stained or soiled by your children or pets.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition involving the brain that makes people more susceptible to having recurrent unprovoked seizures. It is one of the most common disorders of the nervous system and affects people of all ages, races and ethnic background. According to the CDC, almost 3 million Americans live with epilepsy and nearly 200,000 people in the U.S. develop this condition annually.
Anything that interrupts the normal connections between nerve cells in the brain can cause a seizure; this includes a high fever, low blood sugar, alcohol or drug withdrawal, or a brain concussion. Under these circumstances, anyone can have one or more seizures. However, when a person has two or more recurrent unprovoked seizures, he or she is considered to have epilepsy. There are many possible causes of epilepsy, including an imbalance of nerve-signaling chemicals called neurotransmitters, tumors, strokes, and brain damage from illness or injury, or some combination of these. In the majority of cases, there may be no detectable cause for epilepsy.

It's never to late to tell a story... I have recently started a new website on Antilles Air Boats - U.S. Virgin Islands, the worlds largest seaplane airline. This is a work in progress project and as a past employee I joined with others from AAB to try to make this as comprehensive and as interesting as possible. We thought it would be a good time to share with the members of The Flying Boat Forum. Check out... http://www.antillesairboats.com
The website has many pages on the aircraft operated by Antilles Air Boats from 1964 to 1981 and the people that worked there over those years. Charles F. Blair Jr. was truly a pioneer in aviation and his wife Maureen O'Hara truly made them a dynamic duo.
This year marks my 50 years in aviation and I am finally taking time to document some of those great years.
Mahalo and Aloha,
Tom Anusewicz

ILLUMINA by Wella Professionals is a new translucent permanent hair color line with a 20 shade range of sheer, natural-looking tones. The promised "outstanding light reflection" has received rave reviews from colorists and their celebrity clients.
Dean Roybal, Wella Illumina Color Ambassador, worked with Rebecca Romijn, Wella's official spokesperson. "Honestly, I couldn't wait for the opportunity to meet with Rebecca and she wanted to be one of the first to indulge in ILLUMINA," said Roybal. "To achieve the ILLUMINA Color look on Rebecca I alternated two formulas—ILLUMINA color 10/1 with 40 Volume and 9/7 with 30 Volume-- and applied them in foils throughout the crown and sides. To the remaining hair around the foils, 9/7 with 40 Volume was hand painted in a balayage technique to achieve this very natural sun kissed blonde result."
Other celebrity colorists using ILLUMINA Color include Jennifer J (Juan Juan Salons), Denis De Souza (Andy LeCompte Salon), Amanda George (Neil George Salon), Riawna Capri & Nikki Lee (Salon Nine Zero One).

At Cafcass we know why you became a Social Worker. To make a difference. We know you want to spend time on the parts of your work that really enable that to happen. We also understand you want support to continue your professional development while having a healthy work life balance.
This understanding helped us build working practices that contributed to OFSTED rating us as "outstanding" when they recently inspected us and why we are a recent winner of the Social Work Employer of the Year and multiple other accolades around flexible working and health and wellbeing too.
Our Social Workers are called Family Court Advisers. They advise the Family Court as children and families go through significant events including care proceedings, adoption and parental separation.
In this role you will be part of our team based in Suffolk, although the technology we provide combined with the trust we place in you as a professional allows you to work flexibly in court, at home and, of course, with children and families.
Should you join us you'll use your social work skills and experience to understand what the child needs, wants and feels. Then you will advise the Family Courts on the best course of action for the child. You'll do this by providing confident, powerful and succinct written case analysis and make recommendations to the court. You'll also attend court and be an advocate for the best interests of the child, ensuring their voice is not lost.

- Qualified Social Worker with at least 3 years experience
- Registered with the HCPC as a Social Worker in England

- Is resilient and organised
- Can work proportionately
- Has strong, intuitive IT skills
- Is an effective verbal and written communicator
We would also like to draw your attention that this role has been identified as suiting someone who has a full driving licence. This is because of the nature of the work undertaken, the geographical area involved, and that public transport is not considered a viable alternative.

- Competitive salary
- Generous holiday entitlement

The team will be able to work on the brake overnight the process is known as glaze busting to ensure they are in full working order for the race.
Jenson Button starts 10th in his McLaren, Converse Red Shoes
It says something of Hamilton's issues in qualifying that second on the grid represents his best starting position for five races since the Canadian Grand Prix in early June.
Behind the Mercedes duo it was at least a close fought battle, with Vettel narrowly ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Red Bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo.
"So it was just Lewis I had to focus on, which makes it easier too, rather than a whole bunch of people, but it's a really impressive car."
"You saw at times because of the glazing I was going straight on because the left brake wasn't working.
Hamilton pleased with second place Express Star
"I started on pole here last year, yet Sebastian (Vettel) flew past me down the straight, so it (second) gives you the most opportunity here at the start.
quarter of a second adrift of Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg.
In the wet conditions that dominated the session, sparked by a downpour 40 minutes before the start that included a hailstorm, Rosberg will likely glean a sense of satisfaction in beating Hamilton again.
And Converse Hi Tops Black Size 8
"In previous years P2 has been the best place to start here, so I feel quite blessed that is the case," said Hamilton.
For the German, 11 points clear of Hamilton in the drivers' standings with eight races remaining, it is the 11th pole of his Formula One career, seventh this season and fourth in a row.
Saturdays of late have proven particularly uncomfortable for the 29 year old, notably suffering a brake disc failure in Germany last month that resulted in a high speed crash into a barrier, and then a week later a fire caused by a fuel leak.
In this instance, only a bout of glazing where the discs have been unable to get up to temperature and so create a polished surface when impacted together hampered the Briton.
"I'm grateful for all the hard work the team has put in to ensure we have no problems. It's a great feeling to be back up here."
Braking, however, was hampered as the glazing to the left front resulted in the car pulling to the right, and so time was lost.
"When a brake glazes sometimes it's very hard to recover, especially in the wet. It goes shiny and you lose that bite," said Converse Dainty Low Navy Hamilton.
"I've had some good and bad experiences so far this season, but this is okay. It might be a blessing in disguise."
whilst Marussia's Max Chilton lines up 20th for a race anticipated to be dry, but given the capricious nature of the Ardennes, rain may fall at any time.
"To be honest, I'm just happy to be here because I went into qualifying not knowing if the car was going to make it through.
"But over the evening the team are able to scrub it and get rid of the glazing. In the dry it shouldn't be a problem."
Hamilton will start second on the Spa Francorchamps grid for Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix after finishing a Converse Neon
"This is a circuit where you need to have confidence on the brakes," added Hamilton.
Rosberg could offer no reason as to why he was so far ahead, stating: "It's just amazing to see how quick our car is. It's really great.
Given Spa is also a track where overtaking is easier than most other circuits, and the man on pole has only won six of the last 14 races, Hamilton admitted to being far from disappointed with second.
naturally countering Hamilton's remarks regarding starting from second, Rosberg added: "I'm just happy to be first. First is the best position for the race."
From Hamilton's perspective, there was almost a sense of relief in his voice he had come through qualifying relatively unscathed.
Unsurprisingly, Mercedes were dominant, as they have been all season, but to such an extent in this instance that Sebastian Vettel finished 2.2secs adrift of Rosberg to claim third in his Red Bull.
"You then have to move the brake balance forward, and whilst you are trying to clear that you are also overheating the rears, so it's not always that easy.

Real women in their own place. Not too crazy and just a pinch of naughty…
By creating evocative and alluring portraits of women with body types that have traditionally been left out of mainstream media, Me In My Place is redefining a genre that has been over-run with unrealistic expectations of what it means to be beautiful. With full acceptance of the "male gaze", the images promote not just acceptance, but also an aspirational message about everyday appeal. The project is a celebration and is meant to be fun and open to all.
In an effort to monetize the project to keep it going, we created a simple mobile web app, more commonly called THE MIMP APP. This gave fans of the project a simple and inexpensive way to show support. In exchange, they receive more images, exclusive images that are not on the tumblr, and the ability to quickly view and 'like' their favorite content.
Let us know what you think with the in-app messaging service ;-)

From Fight Back News:
November 27, 2012
Los Angeles, CA – Four men – Sohiel Omar Kabir, Ralph Deleon, Miguel Alejandro Santana and Arifeen David Gojali – were charged with material support for terrorism in Riverside County, Nov. 19. The government alleges the men were planning to join the resistance to the U.S./NATO occupation of Afghanistan.
According to the indictment, evidence against the men includes postings and 'likes' on Facebook. The criminal complaint against the men also cites a Facebook discussion between two of the defendants, where they allegedly discuss plans of the Afghan resistance to negotiate with the U.S.
Much of the 'evidence' presented in the indictment is constitutionally protected speech, where the defendants express their views on the resistance to the occupation of Afghanistan. An entire section of the complaint is devoted to "social media."
Laws covering material support for terrorism serve to criminalize opposition to U.S. wars and occupations.

Our Stories, Our Selves
by Gordon Yumibe
Each one of us is a separately created and evolved person that has his or her own unique story to share with the One and All. We each personally reflect what choices and experiences we have all taken. We may think that is all we are—an inner composite of all of these choices and decisions—but there is so much more! It is becoming increasingly clear to many of us that this is only the smaller pattern that is reflecting a greater pattern of which we are all a part. Each reality we experience is part of something greater.
Part of my own individual reality started down this road of discovery when I first came upon writings of G. Carl Jung. What took hold of me in my early 20s was the concept of the process of individuation, the microcosm. This was a big blessing for me. It meant that my own life might have a greater meaning and significance than I once thought. The true greatness of this idea is that it points us towards a larger reality and meaning, the macrocosm.
A pattern has emerged within my imagination to help me illustrate how this process seems to be working. The pattern is a strand of DNA—it unfolds in several dimensions at once. The larger dimension is the inner relationship between the physical and spiritual reality. Whether or not one is aware of this larger pattern, each strand is operational while we are living here on this planet. On a smaller dimension, our individuality is asserting itself on a physical level so that our inner spiritual lives can unfold. Our spiritual side can grow apart or together with the physical strand because of our thoughts and actions. Our inner selves can share and grow into a larger dimension depending on the nature of our actions and how they reflect back upon the nature of this greater reality.
There are many different teachings that demonstrate this. One example is the biblical parable about building your house on either sand or rock, a showing the necessity of a solid foundation. Edgar Cayce also taught that one's spiritual foundation should be built "line-by-line," "here a little, there a little," and "practiced daily." Another facet of Cayce's teaching was that no matter what happens, God has prepared a way out. If one can imagine a series of intersecting, interconnected actions all moving forward in an ever-increasing spiral; the goal is the creation of a more loving divine space within us. By connecting with that one small soul portion of ourselves, we can begin bridging the inner chasm between our mortal and immortal selves.
You might be asking what this has to do with your own stories. Cayce says each of us represents a corpuscle in the body of our Creator. Once we are able to see past our feelings of smallness and limitations, we become much more willing to accept the parts of ourselves that can help us recognize our inherent greatness. We can become one with the Lord. Our individual stories will take on a greater meaning as we come to terms with something in our past or as a way of moving forward collectively, realizing we are all interconnected. Another aspect is finding what our soul's mission is. It could be anything—a vocation, a family, a religion, or another spiritual pursuit. Things happen to us for a reason, no matter how small and insignificant they might seem.
Right now as we speak, there is an ocean of love and light pouring down from the heavens. It is meant to strengthen our connectedness to that inner bridge, between all the strands of our earthly dimensions and the spiritual. It becomes increasingly important for all of us to pause to allow this light to enter. Let our inward successes become the outward manifestation of our spiritual growth. Many of our choices will reflect what comes and what goes. Already there is much unrest in the world as we are all waking up to these higher dimensions. We are no longer willing to accept the status quo and the rampant inequality that has caused so much suffering. Let our stories share our joys and sorrows. We have been asking for the light and the love to help us find our way back home. Every burden we suffer can be given up into the ready embrace of the Almighty's love—everything.
These higher frequency energies are changing not only the way we live but also our fundamental societal structures that no longer fit. Changing is not easy, but there are many among us who have already taken the necessary steps within to help others make similar transformations. A new wave has emerged. Our stories are merging into a higher vision that once seemed impossible and unimaginable.

Great size, substance and power; looking immensely strong and well balanced. A certain elegance imparted by attractive coat and correct head.
A natural guard dog protecting shepherd and sheep.
Quietly confident. Nervousness and unprovoked aggression highly undesirable.
Head and Skull
Strong head without coarseness, not too heavy in relation to size of dog. Top, as seen from front and side, definitely curved to give domed effect. Breadth at widest point about equal to length from occipital to stop. Sides nearly flat and of good depth. No obvious stop, only slight furrow, so that skull and muzzle are joined by gentle slope. Strong muzzle, medium length, slight taper near tip. Nose black. Head seen from above has form of a blunt V, well filled in below eyes.
Almond-shaped, dark amber-brown. Close-fitting eyelids set somewhat obliquely, bordered with black. Drooping lower eyelids undesirable. Intelligent and contemplative expression.
Fairly small, triangular, rounded tips. Root level with eyes. Normally lie flat against head, may be slightly raised when alert.
Complete dentition, healthy, strong and even. Scissor bite correct, i.e. upper teeth closely overlapping lower teeth and set square to the jaws, but pincer bite tolerated. Two central lower incisors may be set a little deeper than others. Close-fitting lips, upper just covering lower. Roof of mouth and lips black or heavily marked with black.
Fairly short, thick, muscular. Some dewlap permitted.
Powerful shoulders lying close to body. Medium angulation between shoulder blade and upper arm. Forelegs straight, heavily boned, well muscled. Elbows not too close to chest, nor too far off, giving adequate width of stance and free-striding movement. Pasterns flexible without weakness.
Broad chest reaching just below elbows; sides slightly rounded rib cage extended well to rear. Good length back, broad, muscular, straight, level. Dogs usually have more pronounced waist than bitches, giving greater curve to lower body.
Broad muscular loins, fairly prominent haunches, slightly sloping rump, topline curving smoothly into tail. Very strong heavily muscled thighs tapering gradually to strong hocks. Stifle and hock of medium angulation seen from side. Strongly made double dew claws on each hind leg; lack of this identifying characteristic totally undesirable. The hind feet may turn out slightly but legs themselves must be straight.
Short and compact, toes slightly arched, strong nails.
Thick at root, tapering gradually towards tip, preferably slightly curled; reaching below hocks, thickly coated with fairly long hair forming attractive plume. Carried low in repose, with tip turned slightly to one side. Tail rises as dog becomes interested: curled high above back in a circle when fully alert.
Unhurried, steady and smooth, as if driven by powerful hindquarters, well within its capacity, yet able to produce bursts of speed. Tends to pace at slow speeds.
Profuse undercoat of very fine hairs; outer coat longer, coarser-textured, thick and straight or slightly wavy, never curly or fuzzy. Longer towards tail and forming mane round neck and shoulders. Forelegs fringed. Long, very dense woollier hair on rear of thighs giving Pantaloon effect. Bitches tend to be smoother-coated than dogs and have less developed mane.
(a) Mainly white with patches of badger, wolf-grey or pale yellow, or (b) White. (a) and (b) are of equal merit. The colour patches may be on the head, ears or base of tail and a few permissible on body. Black patches going right down to the roots highly undesirable. Black nose and eye rims; liver or pink pigmentation highly undesirable.
Minimum shoulder height: dogs: 70 cms (27½ ins); bitches: 65 cms (25½ ins). Most will considerably exceed this, great size is essential provided type and character are retained. Minimum weight: dogs: 50 kgs (110 lbs); bitches: 40 kgs (88 lbs); these weights apply only to specimens of minimum height, taller ones should be heavier. Weight always in proportion to height, giving a powerful dog of great strength, but excess weight due to fat undesirable.
Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect upon the health and welfare of the dog.

Primer: Web Services Experience LanguageBy Kevin Fogarty Print
A Software development language lets Web site owners maintain their site's look-and-feel on an application rented or purchased from another company.
What is it? A language designed to allow Web site owners to presenton their own Web sites, and carrying their own brand and look-and-feelan application they buy or rent from someone else. The idea is to let application developers build software that provides a specific function, and let other people integrate that function into their own offerings without having to build it themselves.
How does it work? Just as the ubiquitous Extensible Markup Language provides a standard method to identify, tag and present data, WSXL provides a method to describe how applications are presented. Using those specifications, developers can change the appearance of an application without changing its underlying functions, allowing them to adapt one application to multiple purposes.
What's a real-life example? The same mapping application could appear on a retailer's site to give customers directions to the nearest store, and on a real-estate site to let customers identify neighborhoods in which they'd like to buy.
Right now, it's possible to embed an application from one company's Web site in a portal site created by another. But you can only do that by embedding the interfacelogos, look-and-feel, etc.in the portal site. The program running the portal site knows there's content there, but doesn't know what it is or what to do with it.
With WSXL, the portal would know that, in this case, the map is an application rather than a photo or logo. It would know to change the colors of the text and border to match those of the host site, where on the site the new application should go, and how to format the window and text labeling to match the rest of the site.
Why would I want to try it? You might want to put a stock ticker, travel-booking service or mapping application on your site, but don't want to build it yourself. WSXL is designed to let Web site owners go into business together by presenting one application within another, then sharing the revenue that comes from the combination of the two.
How would the business relationship work? Like a wholesaler and retailer; but it's online, using services instead of physical goods. The site owners, whether or not they actually charge for the service supplied by third-party software, essentially become value-added resellers of that software. Like a retailer who buys computer equipment to resell at a physical store, site owners buy the rights to present a service on their sites, and split the proceeds with the company that provides the service. The application provider might get a cut of any sales made using the tool; or, in the case of the mapping application, might be paid according to the number of times it's used, in the same way a direct-mail-marketing firm is paid for each prospective sale it generates.
What's the drawback? It's complicatedas you might expect from technology designed to get software from several different companies working seamlessly on the same site while securely exchanging financial data.
IBM, which led development of WSXL and released the first development tools, recommends that you build a site by putting together a set of WSXL components that define the site and how the components will interact. Then add some WSXL components to control how the components are presented, and others to do the actual presenting. You'll also have to build or buy software to monitor the activity of each module and control the flow of data among them, or build in the ability to use Web Services Flow Language or Business Process Execution Language (both of which provide some workflow capability as well as discrete process-automation functions) to manage that job.

This is a lunch the Muffin had on the weekend. We had been looking at some cute bento boxes online, and she decided she desperately wanted "something cute with chickens in it". So this is what she had:
Top Container: One whole boiled egg (cut in half) with the yolks scooped out, mixed with a little yoghurt, piped back in and made into chickens. Their wings are kernels of corn, their eyes are black sesame seeds, their beaks and feet are carrot, and they are sitting on a twiggy stick log amongst the (spinach) leaves.
Left-Hand Side: A garden! Pear leaves, carrot and apple flowers, and cheese and nori bees.
Right Hand Side: Two bread and butter chicks with cheese wings and nori eyes.
I am linking this up with What's For Lunch Wednesday - go check out the other fun lunches!

Brian Urlacher wasn't ducking questions about a defensive effort that gave up 365 net yards to the NFL's 16th ranked offense. He was fending off questions about the condition of his back.
Not sure. Don't know. Probably.
That was the extent of Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher's comments Sunday after the Bears' 16-7 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Urlacher wasn't ducking questions about a defensive effort that gave up 365 net yards to the NFL's 16th ranked offense. He was fending off questions about the condition of his back.
Urlacher, credited with two tackles and two assists Sunday compared to 12 tackles when the teams met in Detroit on Sept. 30, saw a specialist in Pittsburgh this week and was diagnosed with an arthritic condition in his back, according to a pre-game report on Fox Sports by Jay Glazer.
"Probably," Urlacher said when asked if that report was accurate.
Glazer also said Urlacher told him that his back has hurt him all year, that it's more painful than his torn hamstrings that caused him to miss several games two years ago and that he has problems bending down and back pedaling and that doctors have examined his back with X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans.
Urlacher, who first started giving short answers to the Chicago media when asked about his back 10 days earlier, said there was no reason he wouldn't talk to the media. But he limited his answers to "don't know" and "not sure" when reporters asked why he decided to limit his discussion with them or when he might talk to the media again.
Urlacher answered "probably" again when asked if he would keep playing each week unless the back condition worsened.
Bears coach Lovie Smith said he was unaware of any trip to Pittsburgh by Urlacher or any back condition.
"I don't know anything about that," Smith said. "What I know is that Brian played today. He's not on the injury list and, as far as his back, there's nothing wrong with his back that would cause him not to be able to play."
Urlacher said "not sure" when asked if Smith knew about his back.
Defensive coordinator Bob Babich said he is pleased with Urlacher's play.
"He's been great in practice. He's been practicing every day, so I'm very pleased with what he has done," Babich said.
Urlacher did say he would answer questions for fans on foxsports.com once a week.
When asked when that would be, he was back to "not sure."
