I love a challenge, and this is no different from any other type of contact, be it 20 meter phone, or 2M/432 SSB contacts, the challenge exists with low power users. To enhance my use of this particular bird, I am going to run 2 radios with my arrow, and I am also going to include my GaAs FET preamp for the 435 downlink with a mode J desense filter I am building. I need the gain the arrow provides, but I also appear to require a higher uplink signal as well, but I do not think that running more than 5 watts will net me much 'gain' during a pass than having a solid receive capability, hence the amp and filter combination I will be incorporating shortly. P.S....... If anybody uses the RCA digital voice recorder for logging contacts, forget it, taking the audio off the air is useless, and direct feeding to the Mic. input loads my RX audio on my Alinco DJ-580 dual bander so now the receive sounds muffled(padding anyone?). I will have to try some form of pre/de emphasis for the speaker audio so I can hear the stations I worked clearly and not have to replay the recording over and over again to pull every tidbit of a call out from the noise level. I think I am begining to look like a BORG with all the wires, radios and boxes dangling off of me......Not to mention pointing that arrow antenna at the sky(obviously trying to call Mars or something, maybe even the Enterprize perhaps?). I know many of you are probably running 5 watts, but have much better antennas than the arrow, and I accept this and will have to work with what I have for the time being, so I guess all I can say is.....go for it. I'll just have to do what I can with what I have in the meantime... I've done so for UO-14, I can do it here as well... I hope I can work all of you in due time from my little corner of the grid square in EN55. Thank you for your valuable time! Good luck on the birds and........ GO NUTS! 73! Ernest A.

Do you deploy the script files to "_layouts" or the content database?

Place your script files under
And add the script tag
Please don't put the script files in the content database. In other other words don't upload it into a Document Library etc, saves round-trip to the database to get the script files every time the page is refreshed.
This has been discussed before recently.
Assetlib has its advantages (it gets cached so i wouldnt worry alot about performance) with versioning and can be used for cloud and multitenancy (as it is not stored on the disk). LAYOUT doesnt suffer from incorrect max-age, so a single roundtrip is saved here.
As always with SharePoint, the answer is, that it depends...
Regarding scriptlink and cssregistration i must admit i usually have CSS and HTML gurus to do that stuff for me, but i am sure i read somewhere that script and link tags are discarded by SharePoints safe mode parser. Anyways we always use scriptlink and cssregistration, since it is what the product does itself.
if you are deploying your master to the file system - then feel free to deploy your scripts there as well (_layouts\yourapp is the answer). If you are deploying your master to the gallery, put your scripts/styles on the same level as well (assetlib is cool). as you can see, I just want to bring scope/visibility to play here

Arrest made in Oak Creek TCF Bank robbery
A 25-year-old South Milwaukee man was arrested for robbing TCF Bank, 8995 S. Howell Ave., Oct. 20.
According to the Oak Creek police log:
The man entered the bank about 11 a.m. wearing dark-rimmed glasses with a fake mustache attached to it, and handed a note to an employee that demanded money from her register. The note also stated not to use a dye pack or he would blow up the bank. The man then handed the employee a white plastic bag, which she filled with an undisclosed amount of money before handing it back to him.
He left the bank and was last seen walking west toward Kohl's.
During the investigation, police got a tip from a security guard at Caterpiller Global Mining in South Milwaukee, who said a man matching the description of the robbery suspect was at their facility that day speaking to another employee. A detective spoke to the employee, who said the man was his roommate. Officers went to the apartment in South Milwaukee and arrested the 25-year-old man.
Greendale gives Brookfield East a scare
For much of Friday night's WIAA Division 2 football playoff game, Brookfield East was not in top form, while Greendale was playing well.
As a result, the game turned out to be a tight, exciting affair – but in the end, the Spartans made just a few more big plays than the Panthers and walked away with a 28-21 triumph at Stephen J. Gavinski Field in Greendale.
East improved to 10-0 and notched its first-ever second-round playoff victory. The Spartans will meet either Whitefish Bay or Brookfield Central next weekend in a third-round contest.
Greendale, meanwhile, finished an up-and-down season at 6-4.
"It was a great effort," East head coach Tom Swittel said, "but we just didn't play well. We were just out of sync on offense and defense. A lot of credit has to go to Greendale for that. They (the Panthers) played extremely well tonight, maybe as well as they could play, I don't know.» Read Full Article
Kenosha Bradford stuns Oak Creek with late bomb in WIAA playoffs
The Kenosha Bradford Red Devils looked a lot more like the 2011 edition of themselves than the team that faced Oak Creek just over a month ago.
A thrilling 58-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nate Wilson to wideout Danny Lira with seven seconds left lifted visiting fourth-seeded Bradford to a stunning 21-14 upset over the top-seeded Knights in Friday night's Level 2 matchup in the WIAA Division 1 playoffs.
On Sept. 21, Oak Creek thumped Bradford, 42-10. It was clear from the pregame
introductions, however, that Bradford wasn't about to back down from a dogfight.
"Five weeks ago they handled us on both sides of the ball," Bradford head coach Jim Camerota said. "They did whatever they wanted to do to us. We had 140 total yards in that game, so this is a tremendous turnaround for our kids."
After a shouting match in warm-ups that was separated by officials and coaches, a back- and-forth battle ensued, ending with Wilson's dramatic touchdown toss.» Read Full Article

Medical board begins inquiry of Greendale pediatrician in Boy Scouts case
Wisconsin's Medical Examining Board on Monday launched an investigation of a Greendale physician who was apparently never disciplined since admitting to molesting two Boy Scouts in 1987.
The case of Thomas Kowalski, 75, was revealed in secret Boy Scouts of America records that became public last week as part of litigation against the organization in California, and was reported locally Friday.
The records show that Kowalski was prohibited from further work among Scouts but was not prosecuted criminally after the victims' parents were told he would be reported to the medical board and was getting therapy.
The board indicated Friday that it had no record of any complaint against Kowalski, who was first licensed in 1964.
But the current chairman of the Medical Examining Board, Sheldon Wasserman of Milwaukee, said he wants more answers and ordered the investigation Monday.» Read Full Article
Sikh temple held vigil for Brookfield victims
Oak Creek - Candles flickered in the night at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin on Sunday as a community of faith gathered to return support that they received two months ago, as news of another mass shooting rocked the community.
On this night, about 50 people, most of them Sikhs, prayed for the families of three people who were killed and for four people who were injured when a gunman walked into a Brookfield spa Sunday morning and opened fire. The gunman apparently was targeting his wife, a spa employee.
"Light comes from darkness, and that's a way of healing when something tragic happens," Pardeep Kaleka said after the candlelight vigil at the temple.
Kaleka's father, temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka, was one of six people killed Aug. 5 at the temple when a white supremacist stormed in before Sunday prayer services and opened fire. Four others were injured before the gunman took his own life after being confronted and taken down by a police officer.
Pardeep Kaleka was at the temple for services Sunday morning when he received a text message about another shooting, this time at a Brookfield spa.» Read Full Article
Opportunity knocks for Franklin
A mixture of a couple of strong drives and some big plays on defense and special teams gave the Franklin football team a 27-3 victory over Racine Horlick in a WIAA Division 1 playoff game on Friday.
The Sabers scored on marches of 65 and 66 yards and converted a blocked punt, fumble and interception into points in beating the Rebels.
The other factor in the victory was the Sabers' defense, which held a potent Horlick attack led by multi-talented and athletic quarterback Rickey Neal Jr. to just 239 net yards.
"I thought the defense played pretty tough," Franklin head coach Louis Brown said. "They kind of showed that they're a playoff type of defense."
Quarterback Sean McGuire added, "The defense really came to play. I give them all the credit in this game. They (the Rebels) obviously have a very special running quarterback who can destroy a team. I thought we came together as a team and stopped him real well."» Read Full Article
Greendale crushes Tosa West, 41-16
Sophomore quarterback Josh Ringelberg passed for 301 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 109 yards and another score as Greendale crushed Wauwatosa West, 41-16, Friday night in a WIAA Level 1 Playoff game at West.
The win for the Panthers was their first in the playoffs since moving to D2 in 2008. Greendale, which lost to Tosa West, 37-30, in overtime on Oct. 5, put this game away early this time.
Ringelberg raced 74 yards for a touchdown with 11:02 in the first quarter and then tossed a beautiful 86-yard touchdown to sophomore wide receiver Cody Kmetz for a 12-0 lead at the 5:59 mark.
West sophomore running back Demaris Purifoy scored on an 8-yard run and Zach Veit booted the point after to cut the lead to 12-7 with 3:54 left in the first period.
But it was all downhill from there for the Trojans.» Read Full Article
BBB to host 'ShredFest' on Saturday in Franklin
The Wisconsin Better Business Bureau will host "ShredFest" on Saturday – a free document shredding event that helps people protect themselves from identity theft, the top consumer complaint to the Federal Trade Commission in 2011.
The event will be held at the AnchorBank branch in Franklin, 7745 W. Rawson Ave. There is a limit of three boxes per car. AnchorBank and ProShred Security are co-sponsoring the event.
In 2011, there were 2,782 reported cases of identity theft in Wisconsin, according to the FTC's Consumer Sentinel Network report. Of those, 42% (1,167) were from metro-Milwaukee residents. Most identity theft cases occur after personal information has been lost or stolen, which is why the BBB encourages consumers to dispose of unneeded personal documents responsibly.
If you don't need it, destroy it -- responsibly! For more information, go to www.wisconsin.bbb.org/shredfest.

Greendale historic district gains national attention
Greendale's historic district, a neighborhood that dates back to the 1930s, has been designated a national historic landmark by the U.S. Department of Interior.
Greendale was one of three government-sponsored "greenbelt" communities built during the Great Depression.
"The village represents a pivotal point in the evolution of the American suburb - when the talents and ideas of the nation's foremost designers, social theorists and economists coalesced to demonstrate a new strategy for decentralized community development," a statement from the department said Wednesday.
Oak Creek man convicted of Medicaid fraud
An Oak Creek man was convicted Wednesday of Medicaid fraud for submitting false records for home care services that were never provided, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen's office announced.
A jury found Keith M. London, 42, guilty on 17 counts of medical assistance fraud, according to state court records.
He was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison, a year and six months on extended supervision and ordered to pay $28,821 in restitution, according to the records.
In December 2008, London became a participant in the Medicaid-financed "Include, Respect, I Self-Direct" (IRIS) program, which allowed him to submit timesheets for hours worked by home care providers, according to a statement from Van Hollen's office.
According to the statement, between April 2009 and February 2010 London submitted timesheets for a man and a woman who he claimed provided him with home care services.» Read Full Article

According to the Oak Creek police log:
An employee at Branded Steer Restaurant, 1299 W. College Ave., called police after a customer reported his locked truck had been broken into about 8:15 p.m. Oct. 11. The rear passenger-side window was smashed to gain access to the personal property inside.

Four people accused of using stolen credit card
Four Illinois residents were arrested for committing two vehicle break-ins after they attempted to use a stolen credit card at Target on Oct. 10.
According to the Franklin police report:
Shortly after 6 p.m., police responded to Target, 7800 S. Lovers Lane Road, because an employee reported that four people were trying to use a stolen credit card to buy merchandise. The credit card had been stolen from a purse during a smash-and-grab that had occurred a short time earlier at Risen Savior Lutheran Church & Preschool on 95th Street and Drexel Avenue.
Upon further investigation, police discovered the same four people also were involved in a similar incident at Target on Oct. 5, when they used a stolen credit card to purchase $2,400 worth of merchandise. In that case the credit card they used had been stolen during a smash-and-grab that occurred at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in the 6800 block of South 51st Street.

Greendale bounces back with a vengeance
Coming off back-to-back losses, the Greendale football team needed to win its regular season finale to ensure a playoff berth.
On Senior Night, the honorees took matters into their own hands.
Led by superior line play on both sides of the ball, the Panthers exploded for four touchdowns in the second quarter en route to a 42-0 rout of Brown Deer, Oct. 12 at Greendale High School.
"Competition is a very fickle thing," said Greendale head coach Rob Stoltz. "We've had a lot of things not go the way we had planned or anticipated to be certain, but this is a resilient group. That scoreboard doesn't tell how talented Brown Deer is; they have talent. For our kids to do what they did tonight I thought was pretty special, and what a great memory for the seniors."
The Panthers opened the game with a 79-yard drive that culminated in a 3-yard touchdown pass from Josh Ringelberg to junior wideout Mitchell Brees. Ringelberg was a perfect 4 for 4 passing on the drive and also rushed for 30 yards behind a steady push by his senior-led offensive line.» Read Full Article
New Berlin West outguns Whitnall
New Berlin West defeated Whitnall in one of the wildest, craziest, high school football games in Southeastern Wisconsin in 2012, 56-42. In so doing, the Vikings put themselves in prime position to qualify for the playoffs, improving to 4-4 in the Woodland Conference.
In an evening chock full of crazy plays, one may have made the difference.
Following an interception, Whitnall began a key drive early in the fourth quarter on its own 5-yard line yard line, trailing, 49-36. The Falcons marched all the way down the field and found themselves with a 1st and goal on the 8.
At this point, despite trailing by two touchdowns, the Falcons had all the momentum. Senior quarterback Zach Sutton was on fire that drive, hitting his previous four passes in short order to get to the 1st and goal situation. On first down, Sutton again dropped back to pass looking for a quick slant to the right, but junior linebacker Travis McKeon read Sutton's eyes and grabbed his second
interception of the evening.
"Our defensive line pressured the quarterback, our linebackers went to their zones, and the quarterback had to get rid of the ball, and it ended up in my hands" said McKeon.» Read Full Article
With Waukesha in water limbo, Barrett repeats offer
Now that Waukesha's chosen water supplier, Oak Creek, is unexpectedly delaying the signing of a 50-year deal, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is reminding Waukesha officials of his willingness to negotiate selling them the water they need - if they agree to his terms.
In a letter to Waukesha Mayor Jeff Scrima and former Common Council President Paul Ybarra, Barrett does not back off from his past demand that no lake water would be distributed beyond Waukesha's current service area. The area essentially ends at the city's borders, with the exception of 112 or so Town of Waukesha property owners that have hooked up to municipal water over the years after experiencing problems with their wells.
Waukesha is asking the eight Great Lakes states to approve diverting Lake Michigan water inland for their residents and businesses so the city can stop using deep wells drawing radium-contaminated water from a sandstone aquifer. Each state must approve the request, under terms of a Great Lakes protection compact.
Barrett's strategy is to contain Waukesha's future growth by preventing distribution of lake water to a future water service area designated by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The future area includes portions of the City of Pewaukee and towns of Delafield, Genesee and Waukesha.
Waukesha thought it had a supplier willing to serve the entire future area. On Oct. 2, both the Oak Creek and Waukesha common councils approved a water agreement.» Read Full Article
Waukesha water bid will stop without official's signature
Waukesha's request to divert Lake Michigan water inland to serve its residents will grind to a halt at the end of this year if Oak Creek's top utility official persists in his refusal to sign and carry out a water sales agreement with Waukesha.
Last week's Oak Creek Common Council resolution expressing the city's willingness to supply water to Waukesha will not, by itself, keep the application process moving forward, a state environmental official said.
The resolution simply authorized Steve Yttri, Oak Creek's water and sewer utility general manager, to sign a negotiated letter of intent.
Yttri confirmed this week that he will not sign the agreement "unless ordered to do so."
His bosses on the city's utility commission did not order him to sign when they met Tuesday.» Read Full Article
Citation issued after Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues go up in flames
A 34-year-old man was cited for for illegal burning after police responded twice in a week to the same Franklin duplex, including one incident where Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues were burned.
According to the police report:
An officer responding to a burning complaint found old Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues smoldering in the backyard of a duplex in the 3300 block of West College Avenue at 1:24 p.m. Oct. 1.
No one was home at the time. The officer extinguished the fire with the resident's hose and warned the property owner, a 34-year-old man, about illegal burning.
He then was cited for illegal burning on Oct. 7 after he was caught burning items in his backyard at 2:50 p.m. Oct. 7.
Fire destroys home in Franklin
Franklin fire officials Wednesday said a fire destroyed a home and its contents at S. 35th and Drexel Ave. Tuesday evening.
At 5:30 p.m. Tuesday a call came in for the fire at the single family home, said Lt. Craig Langowski, of the Franklin Fire Department.
The fire apparently started outside the house on an exterior wall that ignited, although the cause is still under investigation, he said.
"The person who was at home didn't notice the fire until he heard something suspicious, went outside and saw that the back of his house was on fire up to the attic," he said.
The person immediately evacuated.» Read Full Article

Tosa West's storybook season continues in OT win
Friday night's game between Wauwatosa West and Greendale was like a championship fight.
Back and forth, the Trojans and Panthers delivered blow after blow to one another, but in the end it was Tosa West who provided the knockout punch and was left standing in a classic high school football game.
Robert Davis's interception in overtime sealed Tosa West's 37-30 win, moving the Trojans to 6-1 and leaving the Panthers still one win shy of a playoff berth.
"I'm so proud of our guys, the way they competed," Tosa West coach Matt Good said. "They had a couple of chances to fold up, and they stuck to their guns and they played hard. I'm so proud of our guys right now."» Read Full Article

Oak Creek seeks to overturn water ruling; Waukesha waits
Oak Creek will ask a Milwaukee County circuit judge to overturn a state Public Service Commission water rate order that has upended, at least temporarily, the city utility's willingness to carry out a water agreement with the City of Waukesha, Water & Sewer Utility General Manager Steve Yttri said Thursday.
While waiting for a court date, Oak Creek will petition the PSC on Oct. 10 for a new hearing on its order, Yttri said. The hearing before the PSC probably would be held within 30 days of the request.
At a meeting Tuesday, the Oak Creek Water & Sewer Commission will review this week's PSC order shifting significant costs of service from the city's wholesale customer community of Franklin to its retail base made up of Oak Creek residents and businesses, Yttri said. The local commission at that meeting will discuss the two-pronged response of a lawsuit and request for hearing.
The Water & Sewer Commission had given him authority last month to initiate a lawsuit against the PSC in the advent of an order deemed unfavorable to its resident ratepayers, he said.
Waukesha Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak must wait until the Tuesday meeting in Oak Creek to learn whether that city's Water & Sewer Commission will decide whether Yttri must sign the water pact while waiting for the appeals to play out.» Read Full Article
PSC ruling casts doubt on Waukesha-Oak Creek water pact
Waukesha's agreement to buy Lake Michigan water at wholesale rates from Oak Creek is in jeopardy the day after it was approved by each city, Oak Creek Water & Sewer Utility General Manager Steve Yttri said Wednesday.
A state Public Service Commission ruling Wednesday in an Oak Creek water rate case from May 2011 would preclude the city from taking on additional wholesale customers if it cannot fully recover costs of serving them, according to Yttri.
Though the Oak Creek Common Council this week authorized Yttri to sign a letter of intent to sell water at wholesale rates to Waukesha, he does not plan to sign at this time, he said. The unexpected turn of events will be discussed Tuesday at a regular meeting of Oak Creek's Water & Sewer Utility Commission.
This is not a case of cold feet at the altar. It's more that the PSC changed the rules of cost recovery for him, Yttri said.
"This was a blow," he said.» Read Full Article
State representative from Racine slams Waukesha water deal with Oak Creek
Count state Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine) among opponents of the City of Waukesha's deal to buy Lake Michigan water from Oak Creek, particularly if Waukesha's wastewater is discharged to the Root River.
Both the Waukesha and Oak Creek common councils Tuesday approved a 40-year plan sending up to an average of 10.9 million gallons a day of lake water inland to Waukesha by mid-century.
Waukesha officials said Tuesday that the greater distance of building a pipeline to Racine put that city at a competitive disadvantage with Oak Creek.
The announced water deal is dependent on Wisconsin and the other seven Great Lakes states approving the historic diversion of water across the subcontinental divide separating the Lake Michigan and Mississippi River watersheds.
Though Mason did not speak publicly against the proposal in the last year while Waukesha negotiated a water deal with both Oak Creek and Racine, Mason said Wednesday he has long opposed Waukesha's request for lake water.» Read Full Article
Greendale High bomb threat prompts discussion of bullying
Greendale - The bomb threat on the wall of the boys' bathroom appeared before homecoming at Greendale High School last month: 3 DAYS TILL BOOM JK OR AM I?
Five days later, news of the arrest of Greendale senior Nicholas Olson, 17, spread quickly. But a twist in the case became the real talker: Instead of being charged with a felony for the alleged crime, prosecutors recommended a misdemeanor for Olson because of reports of prolonged teasing at the hands of his peers, including being voted onto the homecoming court as a joke this fall.
The incident now raises fresh questions about the extent and impact of peer bullying in area schools. Several Greendale parents say Olson's experience has exposed an undercurrent present in the district for years in this Milwaukee County suburb often applauded for its great schools and small-town feel.
Others say it's an opportunity to discuss more openly issues of school culture, respect and peer-to-peer behavior, a difficult area for many adults to police when students have multiple avenues to mistreat peers that go beyond outright verbal or physical abuse.
Olson is to make his first court appearance Wednesday. His misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and 90 days in prison. As for Greendale, bomb threats are offenses that warrant discipline up to and including expulsion in schools.» Read Full Article
Watchful officer stops catalytic converter theft
Two Milwaukee men received multiple citations after an alert patrol officer foiled a theft attempt at a Franklin auto lot Sept. 26.
According to the Franklin police report:
A patrol officer executing a business check saw a person attempting to steal a catalytic converter off a vehicle inside the closed auto lot at Ewald, 6319 S. 108th St., about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 26. The 27-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested and cited for possession of burglary tools, attempted theft, prowling and criminal trespass to land.
A 30-year-old Milwaukee man who was walking in the area of the dealership at the time of the incident was questioned by police, who later linked him to the attempted theft. He was taken into custody in the 11100 block of West Forest Home Avenue and was cited for possession of burglary tools, attempted theft, bail-jumping, prowling, possession of marijuana and criminal trespass to land.
Both men were taken to the Milwaukee County Correctional Facility.

South Milwaukee woman charged with attempted homicide of roommate
South Milwaukee — A 45-year-old South Milwaukee woman was charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide last week after allegedly shooting her roommate multiple times in the head.
Police responded to a residence on the 300 block of Southtowne Place at 1:37 a.m. Sept. 26 where they found a 56-year-old man injured from several gunshot wounds to the head. Officers arrested Laura L. Saxton, the victim's roommate. She was later charged by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office with attempted first degree intentional homicide.
The victim was transported to Froedtert Hospital. According to the criminal complaint, he was shot with his own .22-caliber handgun Saxton allegedly stole from his bedroom two days before the incident. His right index finger was also wounded in the struggle and medical staff believed bullet fragments were lodged behind his right eye.
The victim has since been released from the hospital.
Saxton's boyfriend was sleeping in her bedroom when she allegedly shot her roommate, who was laying down in his own bedroom at the time.» Read Full Article

My plan is to develop a web based application in the future. I think I can name it "Booth Reservation System" for the Events companies here in our country. One of the main functionality of the system and the most tricky part/difficult part is that the user can upload a "floor plan" (the design of the area were the booth is located in any image format) and then select the specific location on the floor plan to reserve to the booth. Also, the user can create a floor plan on the system.
What do you think? What programming language can I use?

This problem has plagued me occasionally, and I'm finally asking: What is the proper grammar (specifically, verb use and capitalization) in the following pun situation?
The only Windows I want to hear about is the operating system.
It's being used in a written place. If I am, in fact, referring to the OS, I should capitalize Windows, but I don't necessarily want to give away the joke at the very beginning of the sentence; additionally, I don't know whether I should use "is" (which would be correct for the OS), or "are" (which would be correct for multiple glass surfaces out of which a person can look).
I realize it's a fairly absurd situation, but I still want to do it correctly.

Falcon turned Husky, his ability shines
BRISTOL -- Ever since Byron Jones walked through the doors at St. Paul Catholic High for an open house, his smile and upbeat personality resonated with those around him.
But if the truth be told, Jones said at first he rarely let his high school classmates, teachers and coaches see him smile.
"I wore braces throughout the first few years of high school and didn't get them off until the end of my sophomore year," noted Jones, now a defensive starter at UConn. "When I finally got them off, I started to show off my teeth and smile. Once that happened, I couldn't stop smiling."
Once his junior year began, Jones' athletic career with the Falcons began to soar. A year after that, there was no stopping the speedster with uncanny leaping ability and a knack for catching the ball.
In 2009, the first season that St. Paul was a league member, everyone took notice as league coaches selected him as the NVL's Outstanding Senior.
A basketball and track standout as well, the New Britain native's passion was always football and that led to him earning a scholarship to play at UConn.
As Tim Shea watched Jones and the Huskies play Michigan earlier this month, the Woodland Regional head coach couldn't help but think of a play that Jones made against the Hawks in 2009.
"Byron was in the end zone and he was matched against a very good player (Brandon Fowler) and Byron jumped up and it looked like he was sitting on Brandon's shoulders," said Shea. "Byron somehow came down with the ball. It was just a great play, something that we talk about often. 'Wow.' Now we know why Byron is where he is today."
While Jones' future off the field is full of options, considering he is a double major in political science and economics, he's not letting go of his aspirations to play football at the next level.
"I hope I have a chance, for however long it is," said Jones.
Without head coach Jude Kelly and offensive coordinator Chris Kennedy moving him from quarterback to receiver as a junior, none of his eventual success would have happened, according to Jones.
"I played quarterback all through youth football with the New Britain Raiders and loved it, but there was such an upside to me moving to receiver and defensive back because of my speed," said Jones. "I wouldn't be a good quarterback now. I like to run too much."
As a receiver or defensive back, Jones did flourish, said Kennedy.
"Every day, Byron would do something that would make you shake your head; he was that good," said Kennedy.
The road to his athletic future and beyond goes way back to that St. Paul open house.
"The teachers had smart boards, huge tablets, with access to the Internet to make learning easier and fun," said Jones. "That seemed cool to me."
Jones admitted that he struggled academically as an underclassman, but credited the St. Paul faculty and administration — specifically Dean of Student Life Al Wallace and school President Cary Dupont, along with teacher Norma Kendrick — for helping him shape his life.
"They changed my whole outlook on education and taught me about the commitment to learning, in general," said Jones, who now spends at least three hours a night studying after his football day is over.
Wallace said it was Jones who figured out what he wanted in life.
"There was never any question that Byron was brought up the right way," said Wallace. "His parents instilled the values and character in him that were unquestionable. He was like any other teenager, who at times, needs a little direction. But the quality of the person was always there and very evident."
Jones' next move likely will be in investment banking. Still, Kendrick can see Jones returning to his roots in politics after graduation, specifically as a mayoral candidate. "Not only can I see him as a candidate, I can see him winning," said Kendrick. "He has that winning smile. Byron makes everyone's day better. We are all better off knowing him."

Chart: Defense Cuts in Debt Deal Are Not the Security Threat We Should Be Worrying About
Last year, the United States slipped to third in clean energy race behind China and Germany. Many more countries spend a larger fraction of GDP on clean energy than we do — and are planning to increase that edge. For instance, South Korea plans to spend $36 billion on renewable energy by 2015 to become a leader in this fast-growing market.
While the debt deal torpedoes U.S. energy investment for the foreseeable future, blowing up America's ability to defend our economic, energy, environmental security, the media is focused on the impact of the cuts on the uber-bloated defense budget.
I am reposting this chart from The Economist because of overblown articles like this from USA Today:
Cuts to defense spending in the debt reduction bill could total nearly $1 trillion over 10 years — more than double what President Obama had proposed earlier this year — and sap American military might worldwide, say analysts and members of Congress….
Thomas Donnelly, a military analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said the Pentagon cuts won't require "long knives so much as chain saws."
Oh, no. Instead of military spending that is "bigger than that of the next 17 countries combined," we might only have a military budget that is bigger than the next 15 countries combined.
Darn you Canada and Turkey! Of course, even that assumes those other 15 countries don't slash their military budgets over the next decade. Yeah, it's a real chain saw massacre!
The bottom line is that the United States continues to run 2+ wars and be policemen to the world while conservatives insist that we must not have millionaires spend a dollar more in taxes to pay for any of that. At the same time, the real long-term threat to US security — global warming and peak oil — get eviscerated in the debt deal while conservatives insist we must not have uber-profitable oil companies give of one dollar of their lush subsidies. Ah, but that is news, is it?
Below are old comments from the earlier Facebook commenting system:
- Leif Erik Knutsen · Top Commenter · Friends with Joseph Romm
The only hope for the Nation in my eyes is for the Military to place sustainable energy and economic security on the top of its National Security list and treat it with the respect it deserves. Since the Military is second only to protecting the wealthy in the eyes of the Tea Party and it holds a sacred pedestal with a lot of money, perhaps it alone will be able to instill some rationality into this circus.
Can/should the the Nation's Military turn a blind eye to a National Security threat that originates within our borders? Is the damage and destruction done to the Nation by the Tea Party any less than the attack of 9/11? Is a viable economy required to support this kind of Military spending in the first place? By allowing the American economy to become eviscerated by the Tea Party Vermin, TPV, the Military is writing its own obituary.

"By allowing the American economy to become eviscerated by the Tea Party Vermin, TPV, the Military is writing its own obituary."
Here's my nightmare scenario – sometime in the future, when America reaches the food-riot stage, the corporatists will have a Blackwater/Xe-style paramilitary force that may very well try to overtake the regular army. And if anyone can bring this about, it's the Banana Republicans.

The Tea Party Vermin have been relentless, and have had some success, in mixing Church and State, (of course only their approved Church), and the tax payers are already funneling vast amounts of tax money into Blackwater/Xe-style paramilitary endeavors. Consequently it is not out of the question that the TPV will be capable of spinning tax support for enforcing Corporate Greed. My suspicion however is that by that time corporations will have extracted all the easy pickings that the earth has to offer and the Green Awakening Economy will become the obvious course of action. The problem with allowing that scenario to run its course, as we all know, is that humanity will have already stepped across the door step of doom and it will be all over but the shouting.

Does that chart include dollars given by the US to countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Israel, etc explicitly for the purchase of (US usually) military hardware? Or is that included in the State budget?
Does it include dollars spent by the CIA for military operations like operating drones and other operations that in the past had been done by the military?
Does it include funding for the private security firms like Blackwater (or Xi?)?

I am surprised at the number of people who actually believe that their will be defense cuts.
How long will it take before the GOP points out that the DEmocrats are putting fighting soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan and Yemen in harm's way because of the cuts? So as this President and the Democratic party has always done they will fold and forgo most of the cuts on defense and instead take the GOP alternative which is further cuts on domestic spending.
The US will continue to engage in endless wars in a widening and desperate effort to find and secure access to cheap (ish) oil.

The good news is that the military cuts are separate from the wars so the GOP can't use that argument. BTW, we only have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The other countries we only have drones. But I wish they would've capped war funding at $450 billion over the next decade like Reid's plan did.

Well thanks to military funding, your able to share this with people around the world. The internet is a descendant of ARPANET, which was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency of the US Department of Defense. I'm sure the commerce that the internet has sprung year over year is well over $700B.
The common misconception is that it funds weaponization, but it also funds advanced technology research.

The Race is On!
Stan Frazier and his Sugar Ray bandmates are used to packing the house. But this time, the fans who filled the bar and dining rooms at A Restaurant in Newport were there to cheer on Frazier, who spent 12 weeks traveling the nation competing against more than a dozen trained chefs from this land and across the pond. We were all delighted to see him make the cut week after week, and thrilled when he made it to the finals. But the grand finale brought the house down when Frazier—an amateur chef, no less—was named the winner of the $100,000 prize and unlimited bragging rights. Jolly good!

6 Movie Plot Holes You Never Noticed Thanks to Editing
The magic of movie-making is that directors have the luxury of leaving the boring shit out. One minute Kate Winslet is whistling her heart out in the middle of a corpse-filled ocean; the next, she's a decade too old for a part on The Golden Girls. That's what they call editing, kids!
The thing is, that casual jump from A to B is also used as a writer's crutch to gloss over the stuff they didn't have the time to think through -- little things like "continuity," "logic" and "whether or not our protagonist just did some accidental murder."
For example ...
Note: When people were making the first movies, it took a couple decades for anyone to figure out the concept of "cutting" from one angle to another, and even longer to decide to use "cutting" to indicate the passage of time. And even longer to realize, "Hey, since we can just jump around and hide stuff, our stories don't even have to make sense anymore!" It's truly amazing how far cinematic technology has come. We can only hope that one day, we evolve beyond stories entirely, and then burn what remains of our world and return to the stars. -Cracked
#6. Batman Leaves the Joker With a Room Full of Victims
At one point in The Dark Knight, the Joker decides to go after Harvey Dent at a fundraising party, where (unbeknownst to him) Bruce Wayne/Batman happens to also be in attendance. Bruce takes it upon himself to hide Mr. Dent, then slips out to put on his Batman guyliner and practice his scary voice.
Via Comicbookleague.com
"I eat three packs of cigarettes a day."
So the Joker hops in and starts some shit with Gotham's finest, as supervillains are apt to do. Before you know it, all hell breaks loose, and the Joker throws Batman's girlfriend Maggie Gyllenhaal out the window. Batman, driven by his high regard for both human life and boobs, dives out of the building after her and performs a Bat-abulous mid-fall catch.
After awkwardly landing on a car, the two sigh in relief that everyone is safe. Yep! Everyone made it out of that situation just fine!
"You're safe now." Roll credits.
Cut To:
The party is over, and all of Gotham is trying to figure out what they're going to do with a psychotic clown on the loose. At no point does anyone feel the need to discuss just what the fuck happened when Batman left a room full of Gotham's wealthiest citizens completely alone with the craziest motherfucker in town.
"Sometimes I hear oranges."
Keep in mind that before Batman arrived at the party, the Joker was literally about to cut someone's face open in order to find Harvey Dent. Yet, when Batman jumps out the window to save not-Katie Holmes, he never returns. The Joker is alone with a crowd of unarmed victims. And Batman just bounces?
Eh, they'll be OK. It's not like he's crazy enough to blow up a hospital or something.
OK, sure, Batman is right downstairs, so it's possible that perhaps the Joker got spooked and made a run for it. But even if he did ... well ... Batman is right downstairs. How in the hell did he even escape the situation? He's on the top of a skyscraper and Batman is the doorman. Did Batman get off that car they landed on and go get a burger or something?
#5. Cypher Should Have Been "The One" in The Matrix
Even if Matrix Revolutions prompted you to undergo a state-of-the-art memory swiping procedure to forget your previous love for the Matrix movies, you probably still remember the rules of the Matrix universe:
- You need someone's help to get you into the Matrix (somebody to plug you in and operate the console to jack you in)
- If you die in the Matrix, you die in real life
- Once in, you need an operator to find an extraction point in order to leave
- Black leather looks bitchin' whipping through the air
This is how we greet visitors at the Cracked offices.
What you probably don't remember was one small but significant moment that changes everything. You probably remember the scene:
It's late at night on the ship that Neo, Morpheus and the rest of the crew work on, and everyone has gone to bed. Everyone, that is, except for two people: the traitor Cypher and the hero Neo. The two sit in front of all those nifty Matrix monitors drinking moonshine while Cypher explains that experienced Matrixeers such as himself are able to see what is happening in the Matrix just by looking at all that green shit dripping down the screens.
Above: The nastiest orgy in Vatican history.
Neo runs off to bed and leaves Cypher, now the only awake crew member and the lone conspirator for his evil plan, to his own devices. The camera pushes slowly into the Matrix code running on the monitors ...
Cut To:
Cypher sits in a restaurant inside the Matrix, eating steak, drinking wine and selling out his species. For some unimaginable reason, this guy doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with gray metal surfaces and poorly knitted sportswear, so he has decided to make a deal with the villain Agent Smith in order to be plugged back into the Matrix permanently. All he has to do is betray Morpheus.
True, Cypher is later exposed and destroyed for his mischief-making, but what we want to know is who was Cypher's accomplice? Who plugged him in? And if there wasn't one, how powerful was this guy, really?
Evidently not powerful enough to touch a conscious woman.
Because remember, you couldn't just plug and unplug yourself in and out of the Matrix -- if you could, then literally none of the plot points of the entire trilogy would exist. Every time you were in danger, you could just log out.
No, you need someone to physically put you in and pull you out, which they can only do after finding an exit point. So how the hell did Cypher sneak into, and back out of, the Matrix on his own? He had to have someone else there. And we know what you're thinking -- Agent Smith, right? But if Smith was in there with him, why would he even need anyone's help to get to Morpheus? It sure as hell wouldn't have required an in-Matrix kung-fu ambush.
In other words, either Cypher had an unknown accomplice who the movie never mentions, or Morpheus pegged his "Messiah" pipe dreams on the wrong guy all along.
"I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't need the headset."
#4. Alien Monsters Sashay Through No Man's Land in District 9
District 9 follows Wikus, a government agent who, after getting exposed to some alien goo, slowly turns into an alien himself. This makes him a fugitive, on the run from the evil corporation that wants to dissect him. Along the way, he befriends an alien (named Christopher) and together they have to retrieve a canister of an alien substance that will help make Wikus human again and let the alien go back home.
On his planet, he's totally hot.
The canister, unfortunately, is at the headquarters of the aforementioned evil corporation, located in the heart of Johannesburg. Wikus and Christopher do the only thing they can -- they get some weapons and ...
Cut To:
BAM! SURPRISE ATTACK MOTHERFUCKERS! They just tore the face off their lair!
That's right, Wikus and Mork blast their way into the building and snatch up the goop with almost no major setbacks because, hell, the evil corporate scientists did not see that coming! There's only one problem:
"... Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind ..."
The entire first act of this film is devoted to establishing the fact that these aliens, who are only known by the derogatory term "prawns," are in no way allowed outside of District 9. So just how in the hell did Wikus, a wanted man, and the alien, a 10-foot-tall monster pariah, walk around in a crowded city without anyone noticing?
And it's not like they were slinking over to the botanical gardens on the outskirts of town; their destination was the building of the company monitoring and controlling the aliens. It's like if Osama bin Laden had marched right into CIA headquarters undetected, along with his pet bear.
"Let's roll."
And we know that Wikus and Alf didn't just murder their way across the city, because up until that point Wikus had established a strong "no murder" stance on the humans. And they couldn't bribe their way there because we literally see Wikus get his ass robbed right before this scene. What'd they do, put on disguises and take a cab? They were carrying huge-ass alien guns. Maybe they climbed inside a huge crate and mailed themselves there? Because if so that should totally have been left in the movie.

I have a setup at home, where I have a laptop permanently connected to a screen, and another laptop that I take to work with me. Recently, I've started doing a lot of work using both machines at once - with the independent laptop sat underneath the major screen.
Anyway - I'm looking for software that will let the independent laptop treat the other computer like an extension of its screen (when I want it to) which can be easily disabled and will cope alright with multiple screens. Is this possible / does a solution for this exist already?
I've tried Apple Screen Share, which is cool but just doesn't quite cut it.

Residence Halls
Our Residence Halls are far more than "dorm rooms." We have an entire Residential Life staff designated to make your on-campus living experience more than just a place to rest your head!
We currently have nine halls all located on main campus for your convenience which are Brown Hall, Centennial Hall, Converse Hall, Georgia Hall, Hopper Hall, Langdale Hall, Lowndes Hall, Patterson Hall, and Reade Hall.
A mixture of housing types has been incorporated to give students a choice in their housing life style. Traditional halls (Brown, Langdale, Lowndes, Patterson, and Reade) are typically one bedroom shared by two students and have community bathrooms. Whereas, suite style halls (Georgia and Hopper) have two to four students sharing a bathroom within their unit. Having most of the same characteristics of a suite, Converse is considered a super suite because of the kitchenette within each unit.
Upperclassmen have the option of living in apartment-styled Centennial Hall where two to four residents have private bedrooms. Centennial also has a full kitchen, one bath per two residents, dining area, and living area.
We are proud of our halls and hope you love them as much as we do!

DALLAS - Blockbuster announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has granted approval of "First Day Motions" requested by the company to help enable it to conduct business in the ordinary course as it moves to recapitalize its balance sheet and substantially reduce debt.
All of Blockbuster's U.S. operations, including its stores, DVD vending kiosks, by-mail and digital businesses, are open and serving customers in the normal course. Blockbuster said it is fulfilling all orders as usual, including continuing to provide access to new releases the first day they become available.
The Court also authorized Blockbuster to access up to $20 million of the new $125 million Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing provided by the Senior Noteholders on an interim basis to help meet its obligations to customers, suppliers and employees during the recapitalization process. The company said it will seek final approval of the entire DIP financing at a future court hearing. Blockbuster intends to pay suppliers under normal terms in the ordinary course for all post-petition goods and services.
Jim Keyes, chairman and CEO, said, "The authorization granted by the court is an important first step in our recapitalization process. With the continued support of the Senior Noteholders, the movie studios and other key parties, we intend to complete the recapitalization expeditiously and emerge with our debt substantially reduced. With a strengthened balance sheet, Blockbuster will be in a better position to continue the transformation of our business model and demonstrate to our customers the convenience and value of our multi-channel platform and our 28-day rental advantage."

Radiation Oncologist
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a board-certified radiation oncologist with expertise in treating cancers with brachytherapy (radiation placed inside of tumors) and image-guided radiation (using advanced medical imaging technology to deliver precise beams of radiation to safely destroy tumors.) Brachytherapy and image-guided radiation are both very effective and safe ways to treat tumors because high doses of radiation can be given to a tumor while sparing healthy tissue and causing few side effects.
I work with a multidisciplinary team of highly skilled surgeons, radiologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, and nurses. Through these collaborations, we are able to take advantage of the sophisticated medical technology available at Memorial Sloan Kettering that is necessary to provide these types of treatment.
In addition, I am involved in clinical research that involves using image-guided technologies to treat tumors in all sites of the body, including adult brain and spine tumors, as well as liver tumors. I am also the primary investigator for several protocols using brachytherapy to treat cancers in the prostate.
I have been invited to speak in many scientific forums both nationally and internationally. I am currently serving on the board of directors of the American Brachytherapy Society.
- Clinical Expertise: Brachytherapy; Genitourinary Cancers; Brain Tumors; Spine and Bone Tumors: Spinal Cord Tumors; Stereotactic Radiosurgery; Liver Tumors; Image-Guided Radiotherapy
- Awards and Honors: New York Magazine Top Doctors (2016)
- Languages Spoken: English
- Education: MD, University of Alberta (Canada)
- Residencies: Princess Margaret Hospital, University of Toronto
- Fellowships: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
- Board Certifications: Radiation Oncology (U.S. and Canada)

A friend of mine came from a VMS/COBOL background and we gave her some VB6 to do - she absolutely ran with it.
Next we ran her through some Java stuff and it didn't click at all.
What's similar about COBOL and VB6 (but not Java) that would make this possible?
