The pattern of results has implications for the patient, researchers found. If a patient is informed that she has gastro esophageal reflux disease, for example, rather than chronic heartburn, she might think she is more ill. An important implication is that patient's understanding of the condition heavily influences how she goes about taking care of her own health.
For established medical conditions, researchers found that it did not make a difference in perception if a lay term was used or if subjects were presented with the medicalized language.
"We can see that there are a number of conditions where the medicalese term has, over the past ten years or so, been really rising in how often it is used, compared to the lay term for the same thing," says Humphreys. "This is particularly important when you have lots of conditions that have recently become medicalized, some of them possibly through the influence of pharmaceutical companies, who want to make you think that you have a disease that will need to be treated with a drug."

Ok, this is the 3rd time I've seen this. I'm convinced it's not B. edulis, so time to make a concerted ID effort. No staining reaction, smell pleasant, somewhat porcini-like. Cap viscid when wet but I don't recall it being that slimy on previous, drier encounters. Seemed to be growing under huckleberry, but there was a pine some distance up the hill, and some nearby bays and possibly chinquapin and maybe some kind of alder. I didn't notice any particularly large oaks nearby.
Observed in Huckleberry Botanic Preserve, Oakland, CA, USA. Cap about 5 cm in diameter.
Excellent spot for them.
These are what Mission Bells look like when they've gone to seed! Saw so many crazy seed pods today.
One of several species in this photo.
This is a beetle larva known as a "railroad worm" (genus Zarhipis). It preys on millipedes, eating a whole behind the head and crawling inside as it eats the rest. Charming!
This is the trap door of a spider, but I don't know what kind. I was kind of operating under the vague impression that some cyrtaucheniids made doors like this, but apparently they're not alone.
I was pretty happy about finding this. I am constantly looking for trapdoors on mossy embankments and I've only ever actually found one (also in Las Trampas, but up on the ridge). This time I saw a nearby structure that looked like a very low turret with what looked like the remains of a door, so I looked around nearby and found this.
You don't have to put on a silly suit, breath through a tube, and fall through 100 ft of water to see scenes like this, and yet I did!
When we were pulling our kayak up among the rocks, I saw all these yellow patches under the water that I thought were dead leaves. Turned out they were fish.
These Crocodile Needlefish were hovering at the surface. Way less skittish and a bit more creepy than their smaller cousins the keeltail needlefish.
Apparently these feed on plankton and algae, which would explain why they were schooling way above the reef.
These are supposed to be a little greener, so either this was a particularly dark individual or I got the white balance wrong.
Mostly sure about the ID here. It was definitely quietly hovering as described in the book.
Apparently the largest stand in the park. I don't know who lost them.
Thanks to naomi_bot on Flickr for the ID help.
Narceus, I presume?
About 1 cm long, observed at Scott Creek State Beach near Santa Cruz, CA, in the rock intertidal.
There are Common and Red-throated Loons wintering at Hamo. I also seem to be able to tell the Commons apart by the absurdly thick necks.
This hydroid was growing very abundantly along the stems of some algae in the rocky areas. I got a book on inverts of the sound, so we'll see if I can make any progress with this...
Well, the book I have (Weiss, Marine Animals of Southern New England and New York), doesn't go into much detail on the sertulariids, so I guess I'm stuck at the family level before I can get a more detailed reference.
These are somewhat common in the wrack, not sure I've ever actually noticed a live one before. I believe this is Anomia simplex, the Common Jingle.
Cooper's Hawk in the beech tree in our backyard! I think that's another new backyard bird for me.
There were a couple of these little isopods on the sand at the northern end of the beach. No idea what they are.

Crash.Net F1 News
Vettel: Fourth the best we could get
20 July 2014
Four-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel reckons fourth was probably the maximum for Red Bull during the German Grand Prix.
Vettel started sixth at Hockenheim, round ten in the 2014 F1 World Championship, and just like at Silverstone two weeks ago enjoyed a good fight with the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso – particularly in the early stages.
Vettel opted for a three-stop strategy stopping on laps 14, 34 and 45 and running supersoft, soft, supersoft and soft – something that eventually paved the way for him to finish 8.4 seconds up on Alonso, who was one spot back in P5 at the chequered flag.
"It [fourth place] was what we could do today," Vettel reflected. "Obviously it was more entertaining than I was hoping for, especially at the beginning again. We started where we finished at Silverstone with Fernando! It [the battle] was quite tight until the last set of stops."
"After the first stop I was quite lucky. Kimi [Raikkonen] was there and gave me DRS and it was very close at the hairpin. I didn't know which way to go so I decided to go for the outside, which was crucial and we managed to stay ahead [of him and Fernando].
"Then I was able to lose Fernando a little bit towards the end but he came in before us again and there was a yellow at that time. So, when I came in the lap after, it was very close at the pit exit and he had the DRS and could overtake us. That was not exactly according to our plan.
"It was good for us though that we were on the supersoft and then had another stint on the soft tyre, the harder tyre, towards the end. That allowed us to pit earlier and we got the undercut.
"I think Fernando did exactly the opposite and stayed out longer initially and then tried to put us under pressure with the supersoft [at the end]. But I think us and also them, and all the others – except Mercedes – were surprised by how weak the supersoft was in terms of range. I think [overall] that [P5] was the best we could get today," Vettel concluded.

The Dark Knight - Grading & Discussion

Re: The Dark Knight - Grading & Discussion
Every movie, no matter how acclaimed, will have some bad reviews. Just like how even the worst movies will find someone who liked it to whore out his or her quote on the DVD cover. There are agenda critics out there who will bash any movie that doesn't fall into line with their "moral" or "political" or "cultural" beliefs, or overpraise movies because they do fit the bill they're pushing.
Maybe the guy who gave a positive review to Dungeon Siege will find something wrong with The Dark Knight.
Hell, Rotten Tomatoes used the "review" of Mission: Impossible III from some nobody on the internet who bashed the movie for the sake of bashing Tom Cruise, even though if you read what he said it was obvious that he never even saw the movie.

Couple calls 911 at McDonalds when they aren't given hash browns
Sure, it sucks when your fast food order gets messed up, but throwing things and calling 911? That's d-bagging. I think order errors happen to almost everyone who regularly hits up drive-through windows. Hell, I've asked for burgers with no mayo and gotten ones with enough mayo slathered on them to drown a grown man in. I love when he says "I was barely able to hold myself back." It's a hash brown you stupid fuck.

Slightly OT: An election story to amuse us all

Re: Slightly OT: An election story to amuse us all
Recent headlines have inspired me to create another little story. With apologies to KRAD and the
Washington Post
Eleana: Starfleet Intelligence misled her on Ceti eels
By OZLA GRANIV
Stardate 56931.6
PARIS, EARTH – Federation Councillor Eleana of Delta bluntly accused Starfleet Intelligence on Stardate 56929.9 of misleading her and other lawmakers about its use of Ceti eels during the opening days of the Dominion War, escalating a controversy grown to include the Palais de la Concorde and Starfleet Command.
"It is not the policy of this agency to mislead the Federation Council," responded Starfleet Intelligence spokesperson Grash bin Gralt of Tellar, although he refused to answer directly when asked whether Eleana's accusation was accurate.
But the controversial councillor, speaking at a news conference in the Palais, was unequivocal about an SI briefing she received in the spring of 2374.
"We were told that Ceti eels were not being used," the councillor said. "That's the only mention, that they were not using it. And we now know that earlier they were." She suggested SI release the briefing material.
Eleana also vehemently disputed charges that she was complicit in the use of Ceti eels, and she suggested Zife administration allies were trying to shift the focus of public attention away from the Zife administration's use of techniques that she and President Nanietta Bacco have described as torture.
Coincidentally, Eleana spoke as SI rejected former Federation Secretary of the Exterior Ythrilasifsa sh'Zathrosia's request to release secret memos judging whether Ceti eels and other harsh techniques had succeeded in securing valuable intelligence information.
Starfleet Intelligence spokesperson Tarmantak of Rigel said the request was turned down because the documents are the subject of pending litigation, which makes them not subject to declassification.
Eleana has been the target of a campaign orchestrated in recent days by the pro-Zife Council leadership, which is eager to undercut her statements as well as stick pro-T'Latrek councillors with partial responsibility for the use of Ceti eels—a parasitic life-form capable of entering the brain and forcibly altering humanoid behavior—in the Zife administration.
Pro-Zife officials secured the release of an unclassified chart by SI that describes a total of 40 briefings for councillors over a period of several years. Eleana's name appears once, as having attended a session on Stardate 51135, when she was a member of the Federation Intelligence Council. Former Councillor Charivretha zh'Thane (Modern Progressive-Andor), who at the time was the chair of the sub-council, also was present.
The notation says the briefing was on "enhanced interrogation techniques on Gul Arton Madred... and a description of the particular EITs that had been employed."
Gralt, responding to Eleana for Starfleet Intelligence, said the chart "is true to the language in our records." But he did not say whether the information was accurate.
Instead, he pointed to a recent letter from Starfleet Intelligence Chief Admiral Nyota Uhura to councillors saying it would be up to the Federation Council to determine whether notes made by SI personnel at the time they briefed lawmakers were accurate.
Starfleet Intelligence has said it could allow Council staff to review the notes made by briefers who spoke with lawmakers.
The chart specifically notes a discussion of Ceti eels in 13 briefings between Stardates 50510 and 53145. Two Councillors, Tomorok of Rigel and former Councillr Melnis of Benzar, have challenged the accuracy of some of SI's chart.
Eleana's decision to respond to her critics was something of a surprise, since most polls show that President Bacco and her policies are popular, and Zife allies have exhibited virtually nonstop political disarray in the four months his surprise resignation in the wake of the Tezwa affair. Former President Zife has not publically commented on the controversy.
Eleana renewed her call for a so-called truth commission to investigate the events in the Zife administration that led to the use of Ceti eels and other harsh interrogation techniques. While President Bacco has banned the eels, calling them torture, she has been notably cool toward an independent inquiry that might distract attention from the ongoing Romulan crises.
Tellarite Councillor Bera chim Gleer has also expressed opposition, while External Affair Council Chair T'Latrek of Vulcan, a longtime enemy of the Zife administration, has expressed support for Councillor Eleana's call.
Eleana was unusually harsh in describing Starfleet Intelligence.
"They mislead us all the time," she said. Asked whether SI had lied, Eleana said yes.
Eleana contended that anti-Zife councillors did what they could to stop the use of Ceti eels against Vorta, Jem'Hadar, and Cardassians during the Dominion War. The Chair of the Intelligence Council, who received the 2374 briefing on the practice, sent Starfleet Intelligence a formal letter of protest, she said. That was a reference to then-Councillor zh'Thane.
But Eleana said her focus at the time was on helping President Zife and Starfleet Command to win the war—and then seeking to help former Betazed Governor Rel Obertag win the presidency in the 2376 election.
"No letter could change the policy. It was clear we had to change the leadership on Fifteen and change policy in Council. That was my job—the Council part," Eleana said.
Councillor Gleer said during the day that some councillors "want to have it both ways" on Ceti eels by claiming they did not oppose their even though they criticize them.
Gleer also asked Bacco in a recent Palais meeting to release the SI memos that describe the information gained through the use of Ceti eels.
Former Secretary sh'Zathrosia says the documents show that the tactics prevented Dominion attacks and saved lives.
In an embarrassment for the administration, the former Chief of Starfleet Intelligence, Admiral Marta Batanides of United Earth, advised Admiral Uhura in a recent memo that interrogations that included the use of Ceti eels had secured useful intelligence. She later issued a public statement that said it was not known whether the same information could have been obtained without harsh techniques—the same position Bacco has taken.
Democratic socialism is the hope of human freedom.

From 1999 to 2000, the National Association of State Boards of Education, Alexandria, Va., studied the roles and responsibilities of public schools in addressing health and related social problems confronting today's children and youth.
Many educators believe that they are compelled to intervene in the health and social environment affecting students, their families, and the community, even as a strong "back-to-basics" reform movement denies any role for schools outside of academics.
Key Results:

SQL Server 2016: Live Query Statistics
A database query times out and you don't know why. The estimated query plan is revealing the problem, so you remove the timeout entirely. An hour later it is still running and you are no closer to getting the actual execution plan. If only there was a way to find out what is actually happening inside the server. With Live Query Statistics in SQL Server 2016 you can now answer that question.
Basho Data Platform Supports In-Memory Analytics, Caching, Search and Integration with NoSQL
Basho Data Platform supports integration with NoSQL databases like Redis, in-memory analytics, caching, and search. Basho Technologies, the company behind Riak NoSQL database, announced in May, the availability of the data platform that can be used to deploy and manage Big Data, IoT and hybrid cloud applications.
Crossing the Chasm of Container Adoption in Production
Only 38% of IT professionals use containers in production environments, according to a recent survey. ClusterHQ, which ran the survey of the current state of container usage and adoption, also concludes that 73% of respondents are running containers in a VM environment.
Leveraging Data Science to Improve Monitoring
At the recent devopsdays Amsterdam 2015, Patrick Roelke contended that monitoring still has lots of issues. Roelke believes that data science can help by eliminating static thresholds and coalescing information from various data sources into a single metric. The talk included a quick overview of monitoring tools that leverage data science: Kale, Bosun and AnomalyDetection.
Software Defined Data Mart In The Enterprise Using Metanautix Quest
Metanautix recently announced the newest version of its product, Quest. Quest allows enterprises to build software defined data marts that can run in virtualized servers. Designed from the ground up with security and auditability in mind, Quest can deal with Big Data workloads and encapsulate it into different logical views, ready for consumption by different departments in enterprise.
Developments in IT Project Management
The demand for IT project managers is increasing. Agile methodologies support collaboration with distributed teams for creative problem solving. The Internet of Things, cloud, big data, and cyber security will continue to dominate the IT landscape. Project managers have to pioneer IOT initiatives, be prepared for the influx of data and ensure that deliverables from their projects are secure.
Parse Got a Tenfold Reliability Improvement Moving from Ruby to Go
In order to improve scalability, Parse moved part of their services, including their API, from Ruby on Rails to Go, Charity Majors, Engineer at Parse, recounts. In doing so, both their reliability and deployment times benefited greatly.
SQL Server 2016: Dynamic Data Masking
Data masking is a necessary, but error prone process. You only need to forget the mask one time to leak sensitive data. SQL Server 2016 attempts to address this with a feature called Dynamic Data Masking.
SQL Server 2016: Row-Level Security
A common criticism for SQL Server's security model is that it only understands tables and columns. If you want to apply security rules on a row-by-row basis, you have to simulate it using stored procedures or table value functions, and then find a way to make sure there is no way to bypass them. With SQL Server 2016, that is no longer a problem.
SQL Server 2016: Always Encrypted
SQL Server 2016 seeks to make encryption easier via its new Always Encrypted feature. This feature offers a way to ensure that the database never sees unencrypted values without the need to rewrite the application.
Plumbr Adds Slow Query Detection
JVM monitoring vendor Plumbr has added slow query detection to its flagship product. With this addition, Plumbr now detects four types of problems: Memory Leaks, Garbage Collection Inefficiencies, Locked Threads and Expensive JDBC Operations.
SQL Server 2016: Temporal Tables
SQL Server 2016's new Temporal Table feature makes it easy to work with data that needs to be versioned.
Twitter Has Replaced Storm with Heron
Twitter has replaced Storm with Heron which provides up to 14 times more throughput and up to 10 times less latency on a word count topology, and helped them reduce the needed hardware to a third.
Parquet Becomes Top-Level Apache Project
Apache Parquet, the open-source columnar storage format for Hadoop, recently graduated from the Apache Software Foundation Incubator and became a top-level project. Initially created by Cloudera and Twitter in 2012 to speed up analytical processing, Parquet is now openly available for Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache Pig, Impala, native MapReduce, and other key components of the Hadoop ecosystem.
SQL Server 2016: Stretch Database
SQL Server 2016's new stretch database feature promises to offer local server performance for hot data and cloud storage for old data without any change to the application.

QUOTE (David A. Goldfarb @ Oct 19 2002, 10:12 PM)

TF-4 doesn't list the ingredients. It is ammonium thiosulfate based, according to Photographers' Formulary (I asked), but I don't know what the other ingredients are. Aren't they required to provide a data sheet for safety reasons? I think there is some way of getting that information.

Yeah! I thought they were supposed to provide a safety data sheet if one requests it. But I can tell you if it is ammonium thiosulfate there is a risk of overfixing I dont care what they say. I think I will drop them a line and ask for the safety data sheet. Thanks David.

Technics and Civilization
University of Chicago Press, Oct 30, 2010 - History - 495 pages
Technics and Civilization first presented its compelling history of the machine and critical study of its effects on civilization in 1934—before television, the personal computer, and the Internet even appeared on our periphery.
Drawing upon art, science, philosophy, and the history of culture, Lewis Mumford explained the origin of the machine age and traced its social results, asserting that the development of modern technology had its roots in the Middle Ages rather than the Industrial Revolution. Mumford sagely argued that it was the moral, economic, and political choices we made, not the machines that we used, that determined our then industrially driven economy. Equal parts powerful history and polemic criticism, Technics and Civilization was the first comprehensive attempt in English to portray the development of the machine age over the last thousand years—and to predict the pull the technological still holds over us today.
Ā"The questions posed in the first paragraph of Technics and Civilization still deserve our attention, nearly three quarters of a century after they were written."—Journal of Technology and Culture

Dr. Geoffrey Bernstein's Ratings
I had to wait 6 weeks for my first appointment with Dr. Bernstein. When I DID see him, I was optimistic and felt that he was going to take my symptoms seriously. He had me do every test possible to get me a diagnosis, but getting the results from him or his office staff is VERY DIFFICULT. I sometimes went 2 weeks before knowing my results even if I had made several calls to him and his office staff. His front office staff is very rude and not helpful or understanding at all. For the exception of Whitney. She has always been very nice when I have talked to her. I have only heard great things about Dr. Bernstein, but I haven't had a good experience so far. Maybe I am just one that has slipped through the cracks?

Interphone Samsung Galaxy S3 Case For Non-Tubular Handlebars
Thanks to a precise tightening system with a micro adjustable belt locking strap, the Interphone Samsung Galaxy 3 Case for Non-Tubular Handlebars mount offers the highest degree of stability on non-tubular handlebars typically found on touring motorcycles and scooters. The rubber strap provided with the system is applied along the inside of a belt equipped with ultra-fine adjustment capability and protects the handlebar from scuff marks. The sturdy eyelet on the end of the belt with ultra-fine adjustment allows the user to pull on the belt gradually until the mounting system reaches its most stable, final position. The system for adjusting the support bracket permits precise regulation of the angle at which the snap-on bayonet clip is pointed and is designed for use with Interphone products. The system is easily removable for use on other motorcycles and is equipped with a quick-release for rapid removal of the case.
A very sturdy external housing and shock-proof internal rubber shell provide the Samsung Galaxy 3 with total protection. The mounting bracket with safety closure is adjustable over a full 360° so you can arrange your Galaxy 3 in the best position possible. All functions are available with the phone in the case, including the touch screen functions, plugging in the earphones, and using the battery charger.

DERBY - The initial budget proposal for fiscal year 2013/14 is expected to increase by 6.2%, or $85,000 over the current fiscal year.
The NCU Junior High School Board is concerned about the community response to the proposed budget increase. At the November meeting, board member Richard Nelson wondered, "What effect does the 14% increase in our health care budget have on our overall increase in the budget proposal?" This week the answer was quantified by BC/BS actuaries.
Business manager Glenn Hankinson advised the board that the increase in BC/BS rates are due, "Mostly to the impact in federal mandates to underwrite the exchange. The estimate state wide for health care services for school employees this next fiscal year will rise to over $9 million."
Under the Affordable Care Act, states that choose to participate in the health care exchange format have to finance a one-time fee to pay to underwrite the program as it debuts in January 2014.
A third of the proposed increase the school board is considering for the next school year represents a government mandated revenue increase, which the school board has to sell to the taxpayers as a part of the overall budget increase.
Nelson wants to make it clear to the public, "A lot of this is out of our control. We want taxpayers to be aware of what is driving the increase."
The jump in health care costs following a five-year period of average annual increases of 2.9% complicates the Board's efforts to spend funds on other pressing issues. Currently the board is in the process of fixing heating and ventilation problems at the school, which is outdated and inefficient. Continued use of the antiquated system results in poor ventilation and "hot" and "cold" spots in the building. The inefficiencies are also costly to taxpayers in higher energy costs.

Chinatown by Bond No. 9
Chinatown is unique. Chinatown is weird. Chinatown is powdery/fruity/pungent/sweet all rolled in one. Chinatown is GOOD STUFF! One of the very few unique scents from this house. For dishing out over $200 for a bottle, the very first thing I look for is the uniqueness of smell- and this fits the bill perfectly.

My computer determined a vulenerability due to the fact that i have Flash Player 9 \under Program Files (x86)\HP\Digitial Imaging\Help\Player. I knew that I had upgraded my flash player to 10 so I was confused when this came up. As I dug into this more it seems HP has installed this Flash Player executable under this folder which is version 9 and i can not update it. I have seen multiple posts about this, but none with this particular problem. Even though I have 10 on my computer the Solution Center is still working (I believe because it is hard coded to go look for the file in the location above) I really don't want to keep 9 on my computer. How can I fix this? Can i fix this? I am running Windows 7 and i have a Photosmart Plus B209a-m.

We have found it helpful to provide a checklist that will help you determine if your book is ready for distribution and sales activities. We offer this list as an educational tool.
If you find that your book meets all or most of these criteria, you can expect that your book will have a better than average chance of success.
If you find that your book does NOT meet all or most of these criteria, we are happy to work with you to bring your book and program in line with current marketplace standards. Feel free to use this checklist on your own or contact us about our publishing and book consulting.
Do you own your own ISBN?
Was your interior professionally designed with proper margins, headers, and pages?
Was your cover designed by someone with book industry experience?
If you want your book in bookstores, have you priced your book based on what books on the bookstore shelves in your category are retailing for?
If you want your book in the bookstores and libraries, does your spine have text printed on it and is your logo on the bottom of the spine?
Does your book have a price-specific EAN barcode?

" I arrived at the doorstep of New Shelves Distribution with a novel, my labor of love. I knew what I wanted for this book and what I hoped to experience as an author, but there was so much to learn and so many choices. It was difficult to make sense of it all. After my first conversation with Amy, I knew that News Shelves was the right place for me in terms of getting my book out into the world and onto the shelves. Amy is straightforward, concise, fearless and quite funny. Her wealth of knowledge is immediately impressive as she is able to lay out before you the world of independent publishing in a clear manner and then offer many different options as to how you might conquer that world. And the support she gives you along the way is simply unheard of in today's curt retail and service environment. I cannot stress that enough. And frankly, she does all of the hard work. She talks to the bookstores, her contacts placing your works on the shelves of major independents. She deals with Amazon, Borders, etc. And then she cares for your books, storing them and managing the distribution needs. So, sit back in your author's study, put your feet up, have a glass of wine, pretend to smoke that pipe and be content that Amy Collins definitely has your back. You won't be disappointed!""

LANGSTON — Langston University officially introduced former University of Southern California football great Mike Garrett as its athletic director Thursday.
Hiring Mike Garrett as athletic director raises the bar at Langston
It's a hire that the school's new president predicts will be a "defining moment" in a Langston University's history, but one he also admits is risky.
"Is it a risk? Absolutely," Langston president Kent Smith said after Thursday's press conference where Garrett was introduced alongside his wife, Suzanne, to the school's alumni, faculty, staff and the media.
"Am I aware of the things that are out there? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, I felt like it was the right risk to take for Langston University. I believe it is a low risk. I believe we are going to be better for having Mike Garrett on board. I am very comfortable with this decision."
Garrett, a 1965 Heisman Trophy winner at USC, was fired in August 2010 after 17 years as athletic director at his alma mater. The NCAA cited USC for lack of institutional control under Garrett's administration and imposed severe penalties.
The Trojans were hit with four years of probation, a two-year bowl ban and scholarship restrictions after the NCAA found serious violations involving the football and men's basketball teams, mostly involving illegal benefits given to Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and basketball standout O.J. Mayo.
Garrett said the situation at Langston now is similar to when he was hired as USC's athletic director.
"USC 17 years ago was trying to grapple and get their school academically sound and athletically sound," Garrett said. "Langston is in that position now. It's a great feeling to be able to build something. Building is what I like to do. I believe in what Langston wants to do."
Smith said the hiring of Garrett is a home run for Langston, the only historically black college in Oklahoma.
"Just as the result of naming Mike Garrett (as athletic director), Langston University cannot pay for the publicity we've received just in the last two days. It's extraordinary," Smith said.
"But make no mistake about it, this is not just about publicity. This is about raising the bar for Langston University. I believe with all my being that Langston University will become a force academically and athletically in the near future. I really do believe it. That's ultimately what he is buying into."
Garrett, 68, said he wasn't looking for a job when he was contacted by a national search firm hired by Langston to find an athletic director.
Former Langston athletic director Patric Simon resigned in April to take a similar position at Alcorn State University in Mississippi.
Since leaving USC, Garrett said he's been spending time with family and taking a computer class.
"When someone called me I was very surprised," he said.
Garrett said he knew little about Langston before getting the phone call.
"I vaguely knew it was in Oklahoma," he said of the NAIA school.
Smith said he and Garrett "hit it off" the first time they spoke. Garrett was impressed by Smith's vision for Langston University and the athletic program.
"I deal more in dreams and people," Garrett said. "Dr. Smith, I liked him and loved the way he was talking so it was a very easy decision."

Watermarks are very useful when documents need to be printed out in a secure manner. Watermarks can describe confidentiality, intended recipients, and even the quality of the document, like a draft, so that the reader is fully aware of how the document should be interpreted.
Here's a little bit of I little bit of trivia. Hollywood writers use watermarks when giving out draft scripts to select individuals. Writer literally "brand" the names of the reviewers on to the script so that if the script ever leaks or is copied, the writer know who to sue. The moral of the story? If you're going to leak a watermarked document, make sure you a Photoshop expert on staff. :)
