Derelict vessel removal efforts continue
The Brevard County Boating & Waterways Program will kick off another phase of its ongoing efforts to remove derelict and abandoned vessels from the county's waterways in December.
Working closely with state and local law enforcement, the county staff has been able to identify approximately 25 vessels derelict or abandoned in county waters.
This continuing work will span Brevard's waterways north to south and is scheduled to remove more than 14 of the 25 identified vessels.
Project support and funding through the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners Brevard Boating Improvement Program and the Florida Inland Navigation District has been crucial to the success of this project. This brings the program total to more than 140 vessels removed since 2006.
The project is intended to improve boater safety and protect water quality and submerged aquatic resources in Brevard's Intracoastal waterways.
To report derelict or abandoned vessels, contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at (888) 404-3922.
For more information, contact Matt Culver at (321) 633-2016 or email email@example.com.

Bras for a cause
More than 10,000 Brevard County residents, breast cancer survivors, business and community members joined together and put on their pink bras at the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk to fight breast cancer and provide hope to all people facing the disease recently.
This noncompetitive, fundraising event united the community in celebrating breast cancer survivors, educated men and women about the importance of early detection and prevention and raised more than $300,000 to fund lifesaving research and support programs that will further the progress against this disease.
In its second year, the "Put On Your Pink Bra" campaign empowered walkers to wear pink bras in support of the fight against breast cancer.
Brevard County walkers accepted the challenge, decorating their bras with everything from lace to glitter to feathers.
This year, Brevard County's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event was one of 26 held across the state.
The American Cancer Society uses the dollars raised through Making Strides events to fund breast cancer research, provide up-to-date breast cancer information, ensure all women have access to breast cancer screening and treatments - regardless of income - and to provide services that improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
Over time, the Society has invested more in breast cancer research than any other voluntary public health organization. Since 1972, it has invested nearly $323 million in breast cancer research grants, resulting in many of today's breast cancer treatments.
It is not too late to make a donation to Brevard County's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Visit www.putonyourpinkbra.com to help the Society continue making strides and saving lives.
For more information about breast cancer, contact the American Cancer Society at (800) ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.

Ice sheet loss at both poles increasing
An international team of experts, supported by NASA and the European Space Agency, has combined data from multiple satellites and aircraft to produce the most comprehensive and accurate assessment to date of ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica and their contributions to sea level rise.
In a recently published landmark study in the journal "Science," 47 researchers from 26 laboratories report the combined rate of melting for the ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica has increased during the last 20 years.
Together, these ice sheets are losing more than three times as much ice each year (equivalent to sea level rise of .04 inches or .95 millimeters) as they were in the 1990s (equivalent to .01 inches or .27 millimeters).
About two-thirds of the loss is coming from Greenland, with the rest from Antarctica.
Combined, melting of these ice sheets contributed 044 inches (11.1 millimeters) to global sea levels since 1992. This accounts for one-fifth of all sea level rise within the 20-year survey period. The remainder is caused by the thermal expansion of the warming ocean, melting of mountain glaciers and small Arctic ice caps and groundwater mining.

Graduation and dropout rates released
The Florida Department of Education has released the 2011-12 graduation and dropout rates, and Brevard Public Schools' students are much more likely to stay in school and earn a diploma than their counterparts in almost all other Florida public schools.
According to the Federal Uniform Graduation Rate, BPS' graduation rate, at 85.20 percent, remains among the highest in the state (for) 2011-12. The state of Florida graduation rate for 2011-12 was 74.5 percent.
Brevard has the fourth-highest graduation rate in the state, behind Nassau, St. Johns and Gilchrist counties.
Since 2007-08, BPS' graduation rate has risen from 75.90-85.20 percent.
Further evidence that Brevard students are remaining in school can also be seen in the district's dropout rate. BPS' dropout rate is .6 percent, down from .7 percent in 2010-11.
The dropout rate is the percentage of ninth- through 12th-grade dropouts compared to the ninth- through 12th-grade total, year-long membership. The state of Florida dropout rate for 2011-12 was 1.90 percent.
Putting a boat under your tree
America's favorite boating class is perfect for all those who are preparing for a boating experience after Christmas! While it's difficult to wrap a boat and put it under a Christmas tree, it is much more difficult to safely operate a boat on our crowded waters without proper training.
The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron will offer the Basic Boating Course, with a two-session class scheduled on consecutive Saturdays.
The classes will be held on Saturday, Feb. 16 and 23, from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. at West Marine, 1001 W. New Haven Ave., (U.S. Highway 192), West Melbourne.
The fee for the class is $50. Bring your lunch. Refreshments will be served.
This course covers must-know topics: types of boats, hulls and propulsion methods, rules of the road, required safety equipment, navigation aids, lights and sounds, anchoring, communications afloat, adverse conditions, water sports safety, trailering and personal water craft safety.
Additionally, an on-the-water session will also be held demonstrating trailer launching and retrieval; and hands-on basic boat handling, anchoring and docking.

Beach festival was success
On Dec. 1, a tradition was born with the resounding success of the first Ocean Reef Beach Festival in Satellite Beach.
Pelican Beach Park was filled with 57 exhibits and vendors, ranging from eminent coastal scientists to displays of coastal art from local senior citizens and just about everything in between.
The estimated 2,000 attendees experienced a mix of education, live music, great art, conservation, activities, demonstrations and clinics in a fun, relaxed and festive atmosphere.
There were a group of volunteers that made the event run smoothly. Positive feedback from attendees and vendors almost always mentioned the volunteers as one of the key factors in their enjoyment of the day.
Already there is increased awareness of the dynamic, living coast and the Space Coast reef as a result of the ORBFEST.
Primary sponsors of the event were: Pure Ocean TV, Anglers for Conservation and Surfrider Foundation's Sebastian Inlet Chapter.

High-resolution field maps generated from moon
Twin NASA probes orbiting the moon have generated the highest resolution gravity field map of any celestial body.
The new map, created by the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory mission, is allowing scientists to learn about the moon's internal structure and composition in detail.
Data from the two washing machine-size spacecraft also will provide a better understanding of how Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed and evolved.
The gravity field map reveals an abundance of features never before seen in detail, such as tectonic structures, volcanic landforms, basin rings, crater central peaks and numerous simple, bowl-shaped craters.
Data also show the moon's gravity field is unlike that of any terrestrial planet in the solar system.
For more information, visit www.nasa.gov.
New satellite reveals planet at night
Scientists have unveiled an unprecedented new look of the planet at night.
A global composite image, constructed using cloud-free night images from a new NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite, shows the glow of natural and human-built phenomena across the planet in greater detail than ever before.
Many satellites are equipped to look at Earth during the day, when they can observe the planet fully illuminated by the sun. With a new sensor onboard the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite launched last year, scientists now can observe Earth's atmosphere and surface during nighttime hours.

Next step completed to launch astronauts from home soil
NASA has announced the next step in its plan to launch American astronauts from U.S. soil, selecting three companies to conduct activities under contracts that will enable future certification of commercial spacecraft as safe to carry humans to the International Space Station.
Advances made by these companies during the first contract phase, known as the certification products contracts, will begin the process of ensuring integrated crew transportation systems will meet agency safety requirements and standards to launch American astronauts to the International Space Station from the United States, ending the agency's reliance on Russia for these transportation services.
The second phase of certification will result in a separately competed contract.
The second, expected to begin in mid-2014, will involve a full and open competition. It will include the final development, testing and verifications necessary to allow crewed demonstration flights to the space station.
While NASA works with U.S. industry partners to develop these capabilities, the agency also is developing the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System, a crew capsule and heavy-lift rocket to provide an entirely new capability for human exploration.

Alliance is accredited
The Brevard Health Alliance has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation, as a result of a recent survey conducted by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
Included in Brevard Health Alliance's award is AAAHC medical home accreditation.
Accreditation distinguishes Brevard Health Alliance from other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by the association's independent, external process of evaluation.
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors, physicians, nurses and administrators, who are actively involved in ambulatory health care.
Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation and not all that undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation.

The event featured a buffet, dessert bar and live DJ. Ashes Cigar Tavern offered a special smoking area, and discounted rides home were provided by Hollywood Limousine and Taxi.
College rowing coach, team recognized
Florida Tech head coach Jim Granger received the Joy of Sculling's College Coaches award for the 2012 season at the organization's annual conference recently.
University of Virginia head coach Frank Biller presented the award to the Panthers' sixth-year coach in front of approximately 300 coaches.
Coach Biller, who has more than 20 years of rowing experience, won the award last season.
Under Coach Granger's guidance, FIT's men's varsity eight has won the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship three times. When the Panthers hoisted the trophy in 2009, it marked the first time they had won the event in 17 years.
Their success has carried over to the prestigious Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta. In the last three seasons, the varsity eight has raced to two second-place finishes and a third-place finish.
Last season, FIT came in second by a mere 34-hundredths of a second to defending champion University of Michigan.
The Panthers were invited to compete in the world- renowned Henley Royal Regatta for the first time since 1996, following the 2010 Dad Vail Regatta.
On the historic River Thames, they went up against the likes of Cambridge University and Yale University.
FIT will begin its spring schedule in March.

Recruitment Policies
Recruiting opportunities are available to SUNY Cortland students without regard to race, color, gender, religion, age, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation.
Students are expected to attend resume and interviewing workshops in order to enhance their job search skills and present the most professional image of SUNY Cortland graduates to all employers.
SUNY Cortland is pleased to host recruiters seeking graduates for full-time employment and summer jobs or internship placements. Prime recruiting time is September to November for fall semester and February through April for spring semester. Call 607-753-4715 for more information about on-campus recruiting opportunities.
Career Services will contact academic departments, students, and initiate publicity to encourage the largest number of candidates to sign-up for recruiting schedules. Recruiters are asked to remember that students class schedules and commitments make schedule changes very difficult.
On-campus job fairs currently hosted at SUNY Cortland include the Summer Job and Internship Fair and Teacher Recruitment Day.
Additionally, if your organization has any recruitment events you would like our students to be aware of, you may email the information directly to email@example.com and we will post the opportunity on our online calendar, on our website, and/or on bulletin boards.
Students are encouraged to regularly check the Career Services bulletin boards, the website and their Cortland e-mail accounts to take advantage of on-campus recruiting opportunities.
All recruitment requires sign-up registration unless otherwise stated. Signups are a professional commitment to complete the interview process. A student who fails to show up for his/her interview will not be allowed to sign-up for any other on-campus recruitment. Students are expected to dress appropriately for interviews, and to arrive for the interview at least ten minutes before the scheduled time. Smart students (and all Cortland students are smart) write thank you notes to the interviewer immediately.
Please visit the Job Opportunities page for events or postings.

Applications of Numerical Methods in Economics and Finance
This dissertation consists of three articles on the applications of numerical methods in economics and finance. The first article investigates the performance of various estimators in estimating the continuous time short-term interest rate models under the assumption that the higher moment dynamics of the short rate series misspecified. The Monte Carlo evidence suggests that volatility of a continuous time short-term interest rate model would be estimated with a serious bias if the higher moments of the series are misspecified. Furthermore, in the root mean square sense, computationally intensive simulation based estimators do not exhibit better finite sample performance than the conventional estimators. The second article presents a numerical analysis of optimal initial and maintenance margin setting for futures commission merchants (future brokers). The problem is analyzed in a profit maximization context using a Markov chain approach and it is shown that the uncertainty regarding the futures price process, the trader's attitude toward a negative margin account and the transaction costs associated with margin calls lead the futures brokers to set positive performance margins without the need of legal enforcements of the futures exchange. The third article estimates the intertemporal allocation parameters using a new structural estimation technique, Simulated Residual Estimation. A series of Monte Carlo experiments which involve solving and simulating a life cycle model under both interest rate and income uncertainty are performed. The intertemporal allocation parameters, the elasticity of intertemporal substitution and the discount rate repeatedly estimated using the exact Euler equation, the approximate (long-linearized) Euler equation and the Simulated Residual Estimation. The results of the experiments suggest that the Simulated Residual Estimation has superior finite sample properties in comparison to conventional GMM based estimators even under the circumstances in which consumption data is measured with error.

Carlos Zarco Sanz from the University of Madrid recently sent us his proposal, "Korean Diaspora" from Re-thinking the Future's International Architectural Thesis Award we previously featured. His design won 3rd place in the Public/Institutional category. Sanz's "Korean Diaspora" reimagines Manhattan's Koreatown as a shifting social and commercial space built for the neighborhood's present and future.

The skyline of Chile's capital city, Santiago, has a new addition with the Gran Torre skyscraper casting a two-kilometre shadow across the historic city. The 70-storey residential building stands more than 300 metres tall, making it the tallest building in South America. The five-ton steel structure cost an estimated one billion dollars to build and tenants are expected to move into the building next March.

Perhaps you have noticed that commercial architecture lining roads in Maryland and Virginia looks more or less the same and not much different from strip malls and boxy stores lining roads in Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio or Oregon. [...] Why do housing developments and retail shopping facilities look so much alike, given how much Americans value individuality, freedom of expression and independence?

ST. LOUIS (WXOW) -- Suburban St. Louis-based grocery store chain Schnucks announced Sunday that 2.4 million of its customers' credit and debit cards may have been compromised over a three-month period.
The majority of Schnucks stores are in the St. Louis area, but the company also operates Logli grocery stores, including one in Janesville and multiple locations in Rockford, IL.
Schnucks also has stores in other parts of Illinois, as well as Iowa and Indiana.
The company says it first learned on March 15 of questionable activity of some cards and began an investigation on March 19. Schnucks also says it pinpointed the problem on March 28 and executed a plan to contain it within 36 hours, adding that the investigation uncovered that the breach began in December.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This was my first attempt at a gluten dairy free cake. It was actually delicious! I am no longer afraid to try gluten free.
Here's a close up of the cupcakes. I made purple fondant hearts with a stamped A for the new bride and groom.
WOW! 160 cupcakes and a cake. So much work and so rewarding. This was my first wedding can it turned out pretty well. Even though there was a crazy heat wave which made it almost unbearable to turn on the oven, but it was all worth while.
These were fun and turned out so cute. I made the Hello Kitties with fondant and hand painted them. I was really pleased with the way they came out.
This was a fun cake to make. Yummy red velvet with cream Cheese frosting. It was for a good Friend's baby shower, in fact I will have a baby girl cake this weekend for the new Mom's twin sister. So Fun. Can't wait for you to see it!
Congrats Allie! Graduation cake for my future Sister in Law.
Just a simple Elvis cake, for a special birthday girl who loves Elvis.
Take me out to the ball game! This was a Groom's cake for a friends wedding. Definitely a challenging cake, spherical shapes are not easy to cover in fondant.
More last minute cupcakes made. They were for a friend who was going to see Beatles Love in Vegas and wanted cupcakes that were themed.
These were made for St. Patrick's day, I try something fun and replaced the red in my Red velvet recipe with some green. They turned out kinda fun!
I love to bake, it is my passion. There is nothing more gratifying than see the joy sugar can bring people.

After its encampment in Zuccotti Park, which changed the public discourse about economic inequality and introduced the nation to the trope of the 1 percent, the Occupy movement has wandered in a desert of more intellectual, less visible projects, like farming, fighting debt and theorizing on banking. While several nouns have been occupied — from summer camp to health care — it is only with Hurricane Sandy that the times have conspired to deliver an event that fully calls upon the movement's talents and caters to its strengths.
Maligned for months for its purported ineffectiveness, Occupy Wall Street has managed through its storm-related efforts not only to renew the impromptu passions of Zuccotti, but also to tap into an unfulfilled desire among the residents of the city to assist in the recovery. This altruistic urge was initially unmet by larger, more established charity groups, which seemed slow to deliver aid and turned away potential volunteers in droves during the early days of the disaster.
In the past two weeks, Occupy Sandy has set up distribution sites at a pair of Brooklyn churches where hundreds of New Yorkers muster daily to cook hot meals for the afflicted and to sort through a medieval marketplace of donated blankets, clothes and food. There is an Occupy motor pool of borrowed cars and pickup trucks that ferries volunteers to ravaged areas. An Occupy weatherman sits at his computer and issues regular forecasts. Occupy construction teams and medical committees have been formed.
Managing it all is an ad hoc group of tech-savvy Occupy members who spend their days with laptops on their knees, creating Google documents with action points and flow charts, and posting notes on Facebook that range from the sober ("Adobo Medical Center in Red Hook needs an 8,000 watt generator AS SOON AS POSSIBLE") to the endearingly hilarious ("We will be treating anyone affected by Sandy, FREE of charge, with ear acupuncture this Monday"). While the local tech team sleeps, a shadow corps in London works off-hours to update theTwitter feed and to maintain the intranet. Some enterprising Occupiers have even set up awedding registry on Amazon.com, with a wish list of necessities for victims of the storm; so far, items totaling more than $100,000 — water pumps and Sawzall saw kits — have been ordered.

The Fugitive Kind (1960)
Alternate title: L' Homme a la peau de serpent
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
3 Readers' Reviews
May 3rd, 20099:12 pm
The emotional strengths of this film are demanding and the play is written for that sole purpose. However, with the chosen cast, I would not fully comprehend it as much as I feel it. This film is a study in emotinal survival.

The Fugitive Kind pairs Anna Magnani
and Brando as dynamos of good over evil.
Joanne Woodward makes her screen premier and is witty and beautiful.
An explosion of emotions fills this uncelebrated film with love, desire,fear, misery,ignorance, compassion and cruelty.
Set in a small town with small minded people,
Brando clears the stagnant air with vitality
and his sensual presence.
A must see for anyone pasionate about life.

This masterpiece play of a film marks the end of an era, when what was written for the stage and then performed by actors on screen had some meaning, not just Big Sound Track Visuals. It is one of Lumet's best. I would never have had an opportunity to see it if it had not been shown on the French German cultural channel, ARTE, last night. Williams astounds in every line, but of course a script like this one could never be filmed in today's strangely antiseptically but pornographic but violent film scene. This one has too much truth in it. Woodward was extraordinary, as were Anna M. and Jory. While Brando worked very hard, it was not really a part for him. He left no hint of the innate but denied sluttiness Williams' character required. This is the story of a hustler trying to back out of The Life. Time was not on his side. Time meant everything to Williams, one of our immortals.

The Rockets scored 140 points and tied the NBA's single game record for threes made the last time they played Golden State. That game was here. Tonight's game is in Northern California, and the Rockets are not very good on the road. NEWS 92 FM Sports Reporter Danny Mata has all your sports headlines, brought to you by Knapp Chevorlet.
The Rockets are just 10-17 away from Toyota this season. Tip off is tonight at 9:30 p.m.

Royce White reported to Rio Grande Valley yesterday, as expected. He could play tonight. We'll see if he does and how much.
Astros Start Spring Training
Astros pitchers and catchers reported to Kissimmee for spring training yesterday. The full squad reports Friday, but several position players showed up yesterday. Baseball plays 162 games, but they don't start till the end of March. Spring training can be pretty tedious, Bo Porter says.
"Spring training can get long," Porter said. "You want to make sure the guys are obviously having fun, but at the same time that you are also addressing the things that need to address from the attention to detail standpont, from the preparation standpoint in quality work in each and every day."
Lucas Harrell has the most wins of any pitcher on the team last year. He says he is excited to see some new faces.
Bourne Signs with Cleveland
Former Astro Michael Bourne signed with the Cleveland Indians. Four years, $48 million. He was rumored to be going to the Mets. That didn't happen. So now he joins Brett Myers and the tribe in Ohio.
Brad Davis Returns for Dynamo Preseason Play
The Dynamo are off to South Carolina at the end of the week. They'll have another preseason tourny there. They'll also have Brad Davis. He's back after almost a month with the U.S. National Team.
"Excited to get back in with the guys, and get the year started off right," Davis said. "It was a good training. Good to be back and excited to be here to work with everybody."
Eagles Agree to One-Year Contract for Vick
The Eagles agreed to a one-year contract with Michael Vick. Vick was expected to leave the team, but new head coach Chip Kelly likes him. The deal is worth up to $10 million if he meets all of his incentives.
Wrestling Cut from 2020 Olympic Games
If you're a fan of Olympic wrestling, I've got some tough news: The International Olympic Committee opted to dump the sport for the 2020 games. Wrestling was considered one of the 25 core sports at the games, and has been an event since the inaugural modern games in 1896.
It was voted out after a commision report that analyses things like TVratings, tickets sales, global participation and popularity. So baseball, softball and wrestling are out of the Olympics, but power walking is still in.

Is the Chromebook Pixel, Apple and Microsoft's worst nightmare? Click through to get your first sense of "the touch." Google
That was fast. Rumors spread yesterday that Google had developed a laptop with a touchscreen, and today they're true. Just like its predecessor Chromebook, the Chromebook Pixel, which was announced today, converts Google's Chrome browser into a hardware experience—this time around with a touchscreen. Sound familiar Apple? Mircosoft?
"Touch makes it simple and intuitive to do things like organize tabs, swipe through apps and edit photos with the tip of your finger," wrote Google's vice president of engineering, Linus Upson in a blog post.
Click here to get a sense of the touch.
The new computer, available for order now, starting at $1,299, will begin shipping in the U.S. this April, including 239 pixels per inch, an Intel Core i5 Processor, and 1 terabyte of Google Cloud Storage, produced in partnership with Samsung, Acer, Lenovo and HP.
Seeing Google software increasingly run on hardware made by these familiar brands, it's hard not to think of Microsoft's spindly legged Surface tablet, launched in October.
The in-house-produced Surface was a symbol of the aging software company's foray into hardware, finally following Apple's path to success. Ironically, Apple's stock is now failing, Microsoft's Surface Pro is enjoying only mild success, and what Seeking Alpha characterized as failing Surface RTs are barely selling.
All the while it turns out, Google was in the background quietly taking Microsoft's place as the software provider to some of the company's same clients. Hardware providers which ZDNet reported were "poisoned" by Microsoft's entry into the field.

"The Kor'kron guard fought with ruthless and brutal efficiency guided by Garrosh's orders."
As part of that vanguard, I fought for Saurfang, NOT for the usurper Hellscream. If you go back to Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, you see Saurfang being a leader, and Hellscream being a livid hothead. Did Garrosh ever actually give an order? Or did he just seethe like a coked-up steroid-infused meathead doing pullups for 2 years?
I still believe that most of the orcs, and the Horde, are loyal to Thrall and to Saurfang, and most of us were disappointed that Thrall made Hellscream the Warchief, not Saurfang.
You're definitely right about Thrall in regards to Hellscream, he definitely had some blinders on in regards to Garrosh, because of his relationship with Grom. One might suspect that Grom not being able to raise Garrosh may have made Garrosh an even bigger hothead bully with abandonment issues.
Pyromelter said...
Something else to add:
The entirety of orc culture was not the exact same as the Warsong Clan, who's political philosophy was completely as Anne describes it, all about strength and power. The Frostwolf Clan did not share that philosophy, they were shamanic, and attempted to live in tune with the elements. While that meant being strong to defend their clan, they have no strong desire for chopping off heads and world domination.
It bugs me when both Anne and Matt continually pound on this idea that Garrosh represents the entirety of what orcs stand for.
For example, Anne wrote:
"He was an orc of Draenor, an orc raised in the ideals and thinking of old. To Garrosh, the life of an orc had always been simple -- show your power, show your strength, and the world will shower you with glory and affection. Live in weakness, and the world will walk all over you."
This was just frankly not the case for all orc clans - similar to how there are different "tribes" of humans on earth, where not all of us share the same systems of governance, social morals, etc. The quests in Stonebreaker Hold in Terokkar Forest should be enough to show us that not all orcs are these complete bloodthirsty animals, like Hellscream is.
We could probably assume that most orcs were somewhere on a continuum between the more peaceful Frostwolves and the power hungry Warsong Clan. But I would hope in the future, both Matt and Anne could acknowledge that Garrosh is not the pinnacle of what an Orc stands for, because the in-game lore just does not back up those types of declarations.
Keep in mind that the majority of the Horde's citizens didn't actually go to Northrend, though, and even amongst those that did, Saurfang's leadership was considerably more understated (by his own wishes), and most of the Horde, the orcs especially, saw Garrosh as the real leader there.
Yes, we as players saw what really went on, but by and large, we're the exception, not the rule. Even on that end, we weren't with Garrosh 24/7 in Wrath, and so we can't speak to everything he did do while we were out and about in Northrend. For all we know, he could have been doing some very effective commanding and strategizing while we weren't there to see it. Everything in the books and the game itself seems to portray Garrosh's leadership in Northrend as a mixed bag of very good management of a war machine combined with blunders as a result of poor judgement, which seems very much in character for Garrosh. He doesn't deserve all of the credit for the Horde's successes in Northrend, but saying he didn't do anything there isn't fair either.
At least as of the beginning of Cataclysm, story-wise, Garrosh is extremely popular amongst at least a sizable portion of the orcs. The rest of the Horde is another story, but unless I'm mistaken (which is totally possible, so feel free to correct me on this point) lore-wise the orcs are the most plentiful race in the Horde and have the most influence within it by far.
Obviously something is going to happen during MoP to change how the orcs view him, but Garrosh as a leader has had a pretty big following, at least initially, by the orcs as a race. He wouldn't have accomplished nearly as much as he did in Kalimdor if the entirety of the Horde thought his leadership was a mistake and half-heartedly followed along with his rule.
Pyromelter said...
"Garrosh is extremely popular amongst at least a sizable portion of the orcs."
Saurfang and Drek'Thar would not be amongst that population, and there are plenty of orcs that follow their lead. So while there may be a sizable amount of orcs that like Garrosh, there is also a large amount (if not a majority) of orcs who don't really like him or what he's doing.
loop_not_defined said...
Pyromelter, many of the stories surrounding Horde affairs support what Tabasa suggests, that quite a large number of (younger) orcs favor Garrosh.
Fact of the matter is that clans like the Frostwolf were one of the last few holdouts of pre-Horde Orcish tradition, and even that's sort of "eh".
Drek'Thar was once a Warlock, evening abandoning his Shamanistic path as a member of the Frostwolf Clan.
Saurfang lead the sacking of both Shattrath and Stormwind.
They don't side with Thrall because they're old and noble. They side with Thrall because they were wise enough to see what they were doing was wrong...eventually. I don't think you can argue their traits as something "the majority" of orcs possess.

Can technology replace human intelligence?
This week in my Bioelectricity class we learned about extracellular fields. One facet of the study of extracellular field I find interesting is the determination of the field from a known source (AKA the Forward Problem) versus the determination of the source from a known field (AKA the Inverse Problem). Whereas the forward problem is simple and solutions may be obtained through calculations, the inverse problem poses a problem. The lack of uniqueness to the inverse problem means the solution requires interpretation, which may be subjective. We may also apply a mechanism for the interpretation; this mechanism is known as an AI. However, this facet of AI (document classification) is only the surface of the field.
Damon Horowitz gave a recent presentation at TEDxSoMa called "Why machines need people". In it, he says that AI can never approach the intelligence of humans. He gives examples of AI systems, like classification and summarization. He explains that those systems are simply "pattern matching" without any intelligence behind them. If true, perhaps the subjective interpretation of inverse problems is welcomed over the dumb classification. Through experience, the interpreters may have more insight than one can impart on an algorithm.
However, what Damon failed to mention was that most of those AI systems built to do small tasks is known as weak AI. There is a whole other field of study for strong AI, whose methods of creating intelligence is much more than "pattern matching". Proponents of strong AI believe that human intelligence can be replicated. Of course we are a long way off from seeing human-level AI. What makes human intelligence hard to replicate? Can it be simulated? What if we created a model of the human brain, would it be able to think?

Mar 10 2012: I don't think it's a question of "can it" as much as "should we let it happen". If we do, we may find ourselves on the road to extinction. I see many young people carrying their brains around in their pockets. They feel they don't need to learn because they have an electronic device that gives them instant access to information. So they are more interested in entertaining themselves than learning.
Computers and machines can outperform humans in capacity. Presently, they don't have the capacity to reason, they don't have intuition, they can't feel emotion, they don't love, and they don't have the capacity to compute outside of the range of their programming.
I believe that intelligence is in the ability to ask questions, to seek answers to those questions, and to expand our horizons from what we learn from the answers. If a computer can be made to do this, then it can be made to become a rational thinking computer. Our right brain is what gives it color and style. that's another component that would have to be factored in. Otherwise you would have a very bland future.
Mar 11 2012: I response to your statement about "many young people carrying their brains around in their pockets". Do you also reject the written word? Do you reject books?
This is what Plato said in response to the advent of writing:
"If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows."
I find many similarities between his concerns and our concerns for the current state of affairs with regards to instantaneous access to information. But we've since shown that writing helps the dissemination and creation of ideas, rather than the mere semblance of knowledge and thought. At the same time Plato's concern is well founded as we may choose to write meaningless drivel. It's easy for us to choose what is worth while to read. Computers are no different. It is up to education to teach the future generation how to use tools for the better.
Mar 11 2012: Greetings;
I do not reject any instrument of learning. I am concerned for those who reject learning itself because information is so readily available. That was Plato's concern as well. I do not want to see technology take over, I want to keep it as a tool to help us make a better world. Yet many are letting technology take over.
There have been movies made about computers taking over the world. This is not out of the question. My statement about young people carrying their brains around in their pockets refers to those who are not using their own brains. They only want to be entertained. they do not want to be part of an integrated, progressively functioning world. They don't even know what that means.
Computers and machines are helping us make a better world. yet there are countless people out of work because computers and machines are doing the job they used to do. We cannot lose sight of the whole picture. We have to integrate all of the problems into the solution. Just keep this in mind as you go forward.

How to Submit a TSB Claim
The TSB – Dependent Care Flex account is a reimbursement account that allows for the reimbursement of eligible expenses for day/evening care for dependents to allow the employee and/or spouse to work during the plan year. The TSB debit/VISA card is NOT available for use in this plan. All expenses must be paid by the employee and a claim for reimbursement must be submitted to Nyhart along with substantiation of that expense. Reimbursements will only be made once the service has been fully incurred, even when the daycare provider requires payment in advance. For example: the daycare provider requires payment before January 1 for services rendered during the month of January. According to the IRS, reimbursement cannot be provided from your TSB account until after all services have been rendered (incurred), so reimbursement would be available after January 31st.
The TSB – Health Care Flex account is a reimbursement account that allows for reimbursement of eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses. Participants may use the TSB debit/VISA card for point-of-service expenses, however, there will likely be times when expenses are paid by personal check, cash or directly from a personal account. When this occurs, a claim must be submitted to Nyhart in order to receive a reimbursement from the account. Each expense claim must be accompanied by substantiation of that expense.
To allow Nyhart to send all claim reimbursements directly to a bank account through an electronic funds transfer, complete the Direct Deposit Authorization form (PDF). Otherwise, all reimbursements will be issued by check and mailed to the employee's mailing address.
When to Submit Claims
For the TSB - Dependent Care account, claims can be incurred from the date of your reduction agreement (enrollment) through December 31 of that plan year. All claims must be submitted by April 15th following the end of that plan year. Any unused funds will be forfeited under IRS regulations.
For the TSB – Health Care account, claims can be incurred from the date of your reduction agreement (enrollment) through the grace period of January and February following the end of the plan year (*see Coordinating Claims with an HSA). All claims must be submitted by April 15th following the end of that plan year. Any unused funds will be forfeited under IRS regulations.
Coordinating Claims with an HSA
According to IRS regulations, if the employee elects to participate in the HDHP & HSA plans as well as the TSB Health Care Flex Plan during the same plan year, the TSB account will be established as a "limited" account and can only be used for dental and vision expenses and post-deductible medical expenses. Once the deductible has been met in the HDHP plan, the employee will need to notify and provide documentation to Nyhart of the deductible being met in order for Nyhart to allow medical claims to be reimbursed. Once substantiated, the employee can submit medical reimbursement claims for expenses incurred during the remainder of the plan year. However, if the TSB account was established as a "limited" account, the TSB debit/VISA card cannot be used for medical expenses. The card can continue to be used only for dental and vision. All medical claims will need to be submitted by email, fax, mail or online.
If there is an overlap between the HSA and TSB Health Care accounts during the grace period of January and February, (whether or not the HDHP deductible had been met), the TSB account will be considered a "limited" account and can only continue to incur dental and vision expenses through the grace period. All medical expense claims would need to be submitted to Nyhart by December 31st. Dental and Vision claims would need to be submitted to Nyhart by April 15th.
Submitting Claims by Email, Mail or Fax
Collect the receipts for expenses that were paid for out-of-pocket and print the TSB Claim Form. Complete the form by providing Name, Employee ID, Address, Dependent Information (if the expense is for them), the Type of Expense, Date Incurred and the Amount. Multiple expenses can be listed on one claim form.
Send the TSB Claim Form and the supporting documents to Nyhart by:
- Email:
- Fax: (888) 887-9961
- Mail: The Nyhart Company, Inc.
Attention: Flex Claim Reimbursement
8415 Allison Pointe Boulevard, Suite 300
Indianapolis, IN 46250
Please do not send the same claim by multiple methods.
Submitting Claims Online
To submit claim information online, go to iutsb.nyhart.com. Login and select: 'Submit Claim'. In order to substantiate claims online it is necessary to have a digital file of the supporting documentation to attach to each expense item.
Please note that the online claim submission process is not for debit card substantiations. Additionally, please do not send the same claim by multiple methods.
Supporting Documentation for Expense Claims
For each expense in a claim for reimbursement a supporting document must be included. Supporting Documents (claim substantiation) can be in the form of:
- A copy of a receipt for service or purchase
- A copy of a confirmed online bill payment
- A copy of health claim summaries (EOB) from an insurer
Each supporting document must include the following:
- Name of provider
- Date of service/purchase
- Type of service/purchase
- Charge (Amount) for each service/purchase
Be sure to retain a copy of the Claim and the supporting documentation.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - In federal court Wednesday, a complaint was filed against a Florida man, Justin Soloman in a multi-million dollar scheme that involved oil and gas wells in Yoakum County.
The papers state that Soloman and his companies raised 25 million dollars from more than 400 non U.S. investors by promising ownership and interest in oil and gas wells in Texas, including Yoakum County.
According to the documents, investors were promised a quick return on their investment, as much as 10 to 15 thousand dollars every month. But the investors never got those payments.
Now, the complaint is accusing the defendant of violating the Securities and Exchange Act.
