Petrino gives Louisville hope in Year 1
By Andrea Adelson
Louisville coach Bobby Petrino has plenty of experience in taking a team to a higher level.
Chances are, Bobby Petrino could stuff a three-ring binder full of notes that perfectly illustrate how to successfully maneuver around the two biggest challenges the Louisville football program faces when it moves into the ACC for the 2014 season.
Because Petrino has faced them both.
Back in his first stint as Cardinals coach, he shepherded Louisville from Conference USA to the Big East. Within two years, Louisville was in a BCS game.
Then at Arkansas, he quickly made the Hogs competitive in one of the toughest divisions in college football: the SEC West. Within three years, Arkansas went 6-2 in league play and made an appearance in the Sugar Bowl.
Now, of course, Louisville is hoping for the same on-field success in its new league home, playing in the ACC's most difficult division, which features national champion Florida State and Orange Bowl champion Clemson.
Though Louisville figured to be making the transition under former coach Charlie Strong, athletic director Tom Jurich made quite a strategic hire when he gave Petrino a second chance to lead the program last month.
Jurich said in a recent interview that the biggest factor in his decision to re-hire Petrino centered on whether the coach had learned from well-documented previous mistakes and indiscretions. There was no need for Jurich to delve into on-field success.
"He knows what he's looking at," Jurich said.
Petrino gives Louisville even more cachet than it had a month and a half ago, when the Cardinals pounded Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl, serving notice to the rest of the ACC. Of the nine teams that have changed conferences since 2012, three had first-year head coaches. Of those three, Petrino is the only one with previous head-coaching experience on the "power five"-conference level, and his experience came in the most powerful conference in America.
Not only that, Louisville brings with it a terrific track record of recent success, posting back-to-back 11-win seasons. In fact, four of the five 11-win seasons in school history either happened in the past two years or under Petrino. That makes Louisville better positioned for immediate success than former Big East mates Pitt and Syracuse, which transitioned into the ACC last year.
But there is little doubt that Louisville faces a steep rise in level of competition, one that raises many questions headed into the first season. Louisville has three teams on its schedule projected to start the season in the Top 25. The last time it had to play that many ranked teams in one season was 2008, when the program was struggling under Steve Kragthorpe. In the past five seasons, Louisville has played just four teams ranked in the Top 25 at the time of the matchup.
Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich has led the Cardinals to new heights, and now a new chapter.
Now, the Cardinals will play Florida State and Clemson every year.
"The thing they've got a head start on us [in] is their tradition. They have a long history," Jurich said. "Our history is fairly recent, but our last 15 years we could go head to head with anybody in college football or any sport across the board. We want to make sure we continue to grow off that. We've got a good foundation in place and I don't want to say any more than a really good foundation. We want to keep building and building."
Building requires taking a look at the competition ahead. Petrino said in a phone interview that the work has already begun breaking down teams in the ACC, so the coaches know what types of offenses and defenses they will be facing.
"The one thing that makes it harder is the league is so competitive week in and week out so you have to have the depth and develop young men," Petrino said. "We'll have to have some guys that can play early. Some conferences you're in, you have two or three games a year where if you don't make mistakes, you should win the game because you have better players than they do.
"But this is going to be very competitive. Everyone's going to have very good players, everyone's going to be really well coached, and that's what makes the challenge a lot of fun."
Petrino has lived through those challenges, and he believes he can help prepare his players because of his own experiences. Coaching in the SEC can be a teaching tool for coaching in the ACC, especially on the road. Louisville has to play at Death Valley and Notre Dame this year.
"In the SEC it was so competitive, so you had to really understand how to get your team ready each week and be able to go on the road and handle the noise and the crowd and the hostility," Petrino said. "We have some great road games; there will be great crowds. You have to be able to perform under the pressure with the crowd there and be able to communicate, and use your hand signals and operate when you really can't hear anything, so you take a lot of those experiences with you."
Petrino's background and track record can only do so much. Louisville has to replace a potential top-five NFL draft pick in quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater
and seven starters on defense. Given the tougher schedule, new coaching staff and new-look team, can the Cardinals realistically be a weekly Top 25 team in contention for a league title?
"We're going to have high expectations," Petrino said. "That's something I believe in, is setting your expectations high. We want to get in position to compete for the conference championship."
Spoken like a coach who has been there, done that.

The Slingbox lets you get your TV on your laptop, but what if you want to do it the other way - i.e., get your laptop on your TV? Sling Media the makers of the Slingbox believe it has the answer. But can the SlingCatcher do as it promises? We get streaming to find out.
A long time coming (it was originally announced at CES 2007), the SlingCatcher is simple. Three lights adorn the front of its black casing, the rear features a stack of connections.
HDMI port, Component, S-Video, and Composite video allow you to connect it to your TV while an Ethernet cable provides connection to your network. Everything is controlled via the included remote.
Once turned on you run through a simple and easy to follow tutorial that really only requires you to press yes where necessary. Get past the install - we were asked to download the latest software update (a mere 15 minutes) and you're up and running.
There are four choices in the menu system - SlingPlayer, My Media, SlingProjector, and Settings.
Lets start with Settings. As you might imagine this lets you set-up your SlingCatcher. You can set the TV resolution all the way up to 1080p for HD support while the TV Aspect Ratio options give you 4:3 or 16:9. There is even the chance to select the Video Zoom mode so you can make the most of your TV.
Sound offers Surround Sound 5.1 support and there are tests you can run to make sure you've got everything sorted correctly. To be honest it's not really an area you are going to be spending too much time in.
So to SlingPlayer. Here you can connect to your Slingbox via your SlingCatcher allowing you to stream content from your TV to another TV rather than to your laptop. It's an expensive way to get the source from one TV to another in the home, however it does mean that you could stream content from your house to your holiday home in another part of the country or world and only pay for the one connection.
The My Media option lets you play content directly from a USB drive onto your TV. As soon as the USB stick or bigger hard drive is connected you've got full access to it and content is broken down to folder, video and music areas. Content is delivered in a simple list format with little excitement although you can view information such as duration, resolution and file type. Exciting stuff folks.
Most formats are supported including the usual suspects, WMV, H.264, AVI, however disappointingly you can only access files for playback via a hard drive physically connected to the SlingCatcher. It may be connected to your network, but any drives you've got on the network are invisible to it. It's a shame because it means that the content needs to be physically stored nearby rather than on a massive hard drive tucked out of sight in the cupboard.
The final offering is the SlingProtector. Available only for Windows XP and Windows Vista users (there are no plans for a Mac or Vista 64-Bit version) the software allows you to project a window from your PC to your television.
It's a strange work around and one that you feel is so dubious merely by the way it works. Basically once connected it merely projects whichever window you've selected to be captured to the SlingCatcher. But here is why we think it's slightly dodgy: you have to have that window running on the desktop, it can't be obscured nor can it be minimised else it won't work.
The software does the rest - i.e., disable sound from your computer and stream it to your television via the SlingCatcher and it does in theory mean you can watch any videos (bar HD DVD or Blu-ray titles) that are showing on your PC on the TV. However, the connection at times was jittery, even on a wired network connection and it's such a faff that we wouldn't want to go through the process every time we wanted to watch a YouTube video on the TV. You've got the Wi-Fi connection, just grab your laptop.
The SlingCatcher on the surface sounds like a great bit of kit, but it's really only useful if you've got a Slingbox and looking to stream your TV content to another TV rather than a laptop.
The lack of network support negates this from being a decent media streamer and the SlingProjector feature comes off as a workaround rather than a viable solution.
If you've got a SlingPlayer this might be worth looking into - for the rest of us it is best to give this £199 gadget a wide birth.

Little Joy
The Strokes have been on hiatus since 2006, but if the band's members keep making great records on the side, the New York quintet needn't hurry back to the studio. Guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.'s first two albums were little slices of California power-pop, and now drummer Fabrizio Moretti follows suit as part of the trio Little Joy. By teaming with vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Rodrigo Amarante (of indie-rockers Los Hermanos) and Binki Shapiro, Moretti has helped craft dreamy, weightless pop music, inspired equally by Amarante's Brazilian heritage and Moretti's knowledge of simple rock and roll dynamics. The band's self-titled debut was released last November, which now feels six months too early: It's a summer record, made for breezy back porches and mint-infused cocktails.

Cheap Travel Destinations
There are a lot of reasons why people travel. Whether you're traveling alone or with family or friends, you need to note some Cities who offers lesser accommodations, foods and transportation. Try adding these Cities on next trip.
If you have visited Tunisia before, it will get you back this time around, low costs of everything lures travelers to come back, but for an advise, during the terrorist attack last March, tourists are prohibited to even get near the ever Bardo museum and the Parliament building situated in Tunis. Before going, ask your locality of the restricted places to visit so you won't ruin your itinerary.
South Africa
South Africa is popular nowadays as one of the cheapest place of destination, one seen reason is currency fluctuation. You can again enjoy wild life watching inexpensive, bargain public transport and FREE entry to most of the country's museum.
ShanghaiThis is the most famous coastal City in China. Can you imagine a dorm with almost $10.00 and it doesn't change unless you want to stay in one of the internationally popular hotels and use trendy botique. I consider local accommodation to get the real feel of the place (if it makes sense with you). Same story with going out for meals, unless you want internationally popular restos, you won't be able to appreciate the local restaurants who offers the same dish (actually noodle recipes) with less costs.
Yes, that tropical paradise so described. Low transportation costs, low beach hut accommodation managed by local families and add the virgin beaches around.
Besides the beautiful place, tourists are attracted to reasonable cost of foods and transportation as well. I will go back to Bali for the refreshing popular Balinese spa.
Into South America. I enjoy their sizzling steaks and the beaches too. I can tell you, there's no need to wait for off-peak season here, everything stays steady. Peak season doesn't change the prices of accommodations and foods.
There are a lot more places that are said to be cheap because of it's own reasons. We will get you more on next articles.
We're Going to Magaluf!
It's that time of year again, when the days are getting colder, the nights are getting shorter, and people's thoughts are turning to their next summer holiday. As a longstanding member of a group of party animals, I'll be heading to Magaluf again this year.
Having done the rounds of Malia, Ayia Napa and all the other usual suspects in the past, my particular group still likes to return to the motherlode every now and then, to make sure that everything is still as it should be.
Magaluf Events Are Simply the Best
The main reason we head back to Mallorca's premier party destination on a regular basis is due to the fact that there is just so much to see and do in this fantastic resort, and most of the entertainment is laid on for you. All you need to do is to turn up and be ready to have a good time.
Out of all the events that are held in the resort, the following three are among our favourites.
1 – All-Day Booze Cruises – Spending the day on a boat getting wasted may not be everybody's idea of fun but we have never failed to have a good time on the booze cruises we have been a part of. Ticket prices include as much alcohol as you can consume: something which always seems to help create an atmosphere of friendly mayhem that we just love.
2 – Beach Parties at Full Moon – If you don't fancy taking to the sea, you can do the next best thing and go to a full moon party right by it, on the beach. Although the monthly parties are now very much a part of the folklore of Magaluf events, full moon parties actually originated in Thailand, where they are still held, on the island of Ko Pha Ngan.
3 – Clubbing Nights – A holiday in Magaluf would not be complete without a few visits to the massive clubs that dominate the nightlife scene there. If you are feeling a bit nervous about the prospect of going to one of these behemoths, a guided crawl of the local bars beforehand and special tickets to the club in question are sure to help ease your worries.
There are many other events from which to choose when staying in this part of Mallorca but the above three are always at the top of our to do list.

If you have ever walked a long distance wearing shoes that are well worn out that would give you some idea how it is for a car to manage with worn out brake pads. Of course most of us are too careful about the shoes we wear to have a first hand experience of walking with worn out shoes but we may know someone who does or may have read about it in a book. What happens when you walk with worn out shoes is that you cannot walk as efficiently as you could have if your shoes were in working condition. You also run the risk of injuring your foot which may get pierced by a thorn or hurt by a pointed stone that you step on. Similarly the brake rotors are exposed to metal on metal contact once the brake pads are worn and that will spoil the brake rotors. But of course we all do look to make sure that our car is maintained properly and chances are most people have their brake pads replaced in time. But here again the shoe analogy applies. When your shoes get worn out do you simply have them replaced by a shoe that you don't really see which is suggested by the shoe shop owner? No you do not. You carefully consider the options try a few of them and then make a well informed choice. That way you get the best possible shoes for yourself and get a long and satisfying performance from the shoes. And you should choose your brake pads with as much care as well. So if you own a popular car such as a Honda Accord you should check out the range of the latest Accord brake pads available in the market and make an informed choice.

There are so many versions. People have adapted to some of my base philosophy, which is that you have to understand the forward pass and you have to be able to do it to win at every level. What will begin to modify it will be the inability to run the ball effectively in obvious running situations. People are beginning to break down the pass protections without the variety of using backs and tight ends to block. That's what will drive it back. I do not have a question but a comment to Coach White. I have been a season ticket holder for Illini football beginning with the Rose Bowl year in the early 80's. I must say that I have not seen or felt Memorial Stadium shake and rock since like it did that year. My most memorable moment in Illini football is the Thomas Rook's TD run in the 4th quarter of the Ohio State game. Also the block of a Michigan punt and Williams reception over the middle in that game. Just want to say a big Thank You for the excitement you brought during your years at Illinois and oh yes as a St. Louis Rams fan thanks for your time with Dick Vermil in St. Louis. From the day my family and I arrived, we knew this was the place we wanted to finish my coaching career. We did everything we could to make the program successful and respectful throughout the country. The truth is I was really disappointed in the lack of support showed to me personally and to my football team. I was committed to stay at Illinois for a long time and had proven that by turning down other opportunities. We had rebuilt the program and we felt that the best years were ahead of us. I wish I had been able to see it through. I proved from the day I got there my loyalty to Illinois. Mr. White, I loved when you coached at Illinois. The excitement your teams brought to Illinois football will always be remembered. coaches? Next, I always thought the 3 3 tie with Michigan in 1985 was the hardest hitting game I saw at Illinois. Do you agree, or was there a tougher, more physical game? Finally, it seemed that you liked the shuffle pass quite a bit? Why don't college teams use it more often? Again, thank you for resurrecting Illinois football. Our whole approach was to build relationships with high school coaches throughout the state. Early in our career there, we found the competition tough. The top players were going to other schools. As we went along, we had more success. For two high powered, well coached teams that was as good a football game as we were involved in. It shows how critical defense is. Some of the plays I see in the spread formation mirror that play. To run the pure shovel, it's good to have two backs. It's safe because it's a pass. It was a high percentage play that we really liked. At the college and the pro level, filling needs is a real science. The pros do it through the draft or free agency. In college, which we were often criticized for, if we couldn't fill the needs from the high school ranks, we were forced to do it with junior college players or transfers. We felt that was one of the things we did well throughout the years we were there. We would think ahead a few years. The word needs is the key. If you have a mismatch or an injury, you have to fill the spot or change what you're doing.
Cheap Price Fabulous Quality Promise Air Jordan 5 Retro Quai 54 White,Air Jordan 7 Retro Bordeaux 2011 : Winterised Flip Flops Jack Frost's been pricking at my toes. Here illustrated as a cactus, it's hard to photograph cold at short notice.I stayed wildly in love with my shoes for about 2 days before I decided to alter them. The fit was superb, but I didn't like the way the elastic went all the way around the top of the shoe, (they reminded me too much of swimming shoes, which is great to know if I ever want to make my own swimming shoes!) and I thought it might be good to show some alternative ways of finishing off the shoe, so here I show it with elastic only in the back of the shoe and in the next step I'll show how to add a strap across the instep.Please bear in mind if I had intended from the beginning to only put elastic in the back I would have made the casing accordingly, now that casing is sitting empty, there could have been batting in there, all the way up to the edge of the shoe upper, it doesn't affect the fit of the shoe, it's more a styling point.So first I took a stitch ripper and picked out the stitches that had closed the casing at the back of the shoe, then picked open the elastic itself and pulled it out. I wanted to replace it with a flat ribbon elastic, which happens to be a great deal easier to sew than the stuff I was taking out (wont need the thimble and pliers for this type of elastic). I wanted only the 5 inches around the back of the shoe to be elasticated. This type of elastic comfortably goes from 3 inches at rest to 5 inches when stretched, so I cut a 3 inch strip for each shoe.I threaded the elastic into the casing, 2.5 inches in either direction plus the seam allowance for the back of the shoe, which in my case was 0.5cm on one side of each shoe, if you forget about that seam allowance your elastic will go in lopsided. I didn't need a safety pin because it was a short distance to push the elastic in and more importantly I would have had no way to take the safety pin back out. Once I had the elastic where I wanted it I held each end in place with a straight pin, then I sewed each end in place and also sewed the back of the casing shut again. Air Jordan 5 Retro Quai 54 White It didn't dampen the overall homestand. Washington's three game winning streak came to a halt as Kris Medlen pitched seven shutout innings in his latest winning performance and Martin Prado's two run double proved decisive in a 5 1 victory over the Nationals on Wednesday night. The Nationals, who matched a franchise record on Tuesday by extending their division lead to seven games, maintain a 10 5 series lead over the Braves this season. "Six games up is huge for us," rookie Bryce Harper said. "We have a couple of more games to go. Being ahead like that really is good for us. Hopefully we can keep playing like we are and keep it going." In fairness to the Nationals, nobody is beating Medlen right now. Medlen (5 1) allowed seven hits while striking out seven and walking one in his fifth start of the season. The Braves, who snapped a four game losing skid, have won 16 consecutive starts behind the right hander dating back to May 2010. Coming off a shutout in his last outing, Medlen extended his scoreless streak to 21 innings. Since entering the Braves rotation on July 31, the right hander is 4 0 with a 0.84 ERA. "He was mixing really well, his fastball was good," said Harper, who finished 1 of 4, but was hitless in three at bats against Medlin. "He was throwing his curve ball and changeup. You just try and do the best you can against a guy like that. Nothing you can do but tip your cap." Trailing 2 0 in the eighth, the Nationals scored an unearned run against the Braves bullpen after Medlin exited following 103 pitches. Harper's grounded a leadoff, opposite field single against reliever Eric O'Flaherty, and took second on left fielder Reed Johnson's bobble. After moving to third on Ryan Zimmerman's ground ball out, Harper scored on Michael Morse's single. O'Flaherty walked Adam LaRoche, but avoided further damage by inducing Ian Desmond into a double play grounder. In command through four innings, Detwiler lost his way with two outs in the fifth. With Tyler Pastornicky on first base, Detwiler walked his counterpart Medlin on four pitches. Up stepped Prado, who laced a 2 2 slider toward centerfielder Harper. The rookie initially broke in on the liner which sailed over his head. Both runners scored on the double, Prado's second of the game. The extra base hit drove home the runs, but the free pass to Medlen had Detwiler annoyed after the game. "He scored, he walked. Especially to a pitcher, those always hurt," Detwiler said. Two of the Braves three ninth inning runs against Nationals reliever Tom Gorzelanny were unearned. The Nationals had opportunities against Medlen. In the sixth with the bases loaded and one out, the 26 year old pitcher hung tough, getting LaRoche out on a foul pop to first base and Desmond, a notoriously good hitter in bases loaded situations on a grounder.

By Paula J. Owen TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
May 29. 2011 6:00AM
Many law enforcement officials agree that police officers' ownership of bars presents the potential for a conflict of interest.
Even when all rules are followed, some say, the perception of impropriety is significant.
Such is the case regarding an ongoing controversy in Fitchburg involving JR's Pub on North Street. The bar is owned by Police Sgt. Kerry C. Siomos Jr.'s family.
The state is investigating the validity of the bar's liquor license and it appears several other necessary permits required by the city are lacking.
The sergeant has denied helping with operations at the bar, but has signed for permits in the Building Department and said he owns the vacant lot next door, where the bar holds car shows.
Although Fitchburg Police Chief Robert A. DeMoura did not return telephone calls for comment on the issue, Mayor Lisa A. Wong said she believes it is a conflict of interest.
"We don't have a policy on it, but it is definitely worth looking into," Ms. Wong said Friday.
"I would prefer that officers do not own bars. I know there is a history of that in the city and it would take some work to put something in place, but if I would have to have it one way or the other, I would prefer that it wouldn't be allowed."
In nearby Clinton, the police chief is clear where he stands on the issue.
Mark R. Laverdure, chief in Clinton the last 25 years, said he considers it a conflict of interest.
"Officers have asked to tend bar and I didn't allow it," he said. "You can't be doing that. You are serving people who may be driving. What's going to happen when someone gets stopped and says, 'Officer so-and-so is the one that served me?' You're going to have that conflict."
He said another obvious consideration is if a police officer owns a bar, he must also respond to infractions at other bars when on-duty.
"An obvious consideration is the potential for a police officer to go and eliminate the competition," he said.
Many police departments have a policy that requires the police chief to approve any outside employment by police officers.
Such is the case in Uxbridge.
Police Chief Scott J. Freitas said a police officer owning a bar is risky.
"Our department has a policy that basically regulates the fact that if you have other outside occupations, the chief must be notified and it can't conflict with your mission of law enforcement," Chief Freitas explained. "I feel it is very much true — owning a barroom puts a police officer in a precarious position. You have to deal with alcohol issues and other things that potentially come with barrooms."
He said he sees potential problems with bar fights, illegal drug use inside the bar and patrons who leave drunk and may also drive.
"If a police officer is the owner of the barroom, I think there is a conflict along those lines," said Chief Freitas. "Where is the line crossed? Police officers have arrest powers all the time. It opens up Pandora's Box."
He said even if it is not true, people in the community may also feel the police officer's bar was given preferential treatment.
"Officers can't be involved in stuff that gives a bad name to the department or creates a conflict and I have veto power," Chief Frietas said. "Another concern is allegations that some bars have drug use going on. It is not necessarily condoned by the owner, but it is not a good position for an officer to be in. Those are the types of things you don't want to get involved with in any shape or form."
Sterling Police Chief Gary M. Chamberland said his department has the same policy in place regarding outside employment.
"It's not a current issue and I don't see it on the horizon, either, but I see potentially many difficulties with it, like police officers responding to a fellow officer's business," he said.
Holden Police Chief George R. Sherrill said the issue has never come up.
"We have a policy that says any type of second employment must be run by me, but it's not specific," he said. "Certainly with alcohol there are all sorts of ramifications, especially officers accused of looking the other way for drunk drivers coming from that establishment. It is problematic and creates a whole host of problems."
He said if the issue does come up, he would run it by town counsel and the State Ethics Commission.
Karen L. Nober, executive director of the State Ethics Commission, said the commission ruled on the issue on June 16, 1986. It is the only public opinion given by the State Ethics Commission on the issue, she said.
In that case, a Massachusetts police chief's wife was 50 percent owner of a neighborhood pub in the town where her husband was chief. The commission ruled that the chief not only had a financial interest in his wife's bar, but also a financial interest in affecting the business of his wife's competitors.
The police chief delegates the responsibility to investigative officers to look into infractions such as selling to minors and staying open past permissible hours to businesses holding liquor licenses, the ruling says.
The licensing board also periodically requests information concerning criminal law violations by license holders from the police department, it says.

|Very few customers on Saturday night. Banks's Bitter and Wychwood Hobgoblin were the only two ales. The Banks's was well kept and very reasonably priced.
A local told me there is still no on-site manager and that the open mic is now just once a month. I do hope it is not in another downward spiral.

|Management changed at the beginning of 2015 but real ale and open mic nights have continued. I went in on Saturday night to watch the Champions League final on the big telly. The place was crowded but only two bar staff were working. They were rushed off their feet but just about coped. Well done to them. No sign of the new manager. Ales available were all from the Marston's stable - Banks's Bitter, Hobgoblin and EPA.
wirraldrinker - 10 Jun 2015 16:23
|Uncomfortably crowded when I attended the beer & music festival but I suppose that's not a bad thing! A temporary outside bar had been set up but closed not long after I arrived. This left just two guest beers available inside the pub. They were perfectly acceptable though. Well done to management for organising.

Video: Andrew Wiggins Rocked The Rim With Another Big Slam Against Kansas State
Stop me if you've heard this before — Andrew Wiggins just brought the Allen Fieldhouse crowd to its feet with a monstrous slam dunk. Today the Jayhawks are taking on in-state rival KSU (they even brought out special uniforms for the game), and they are looking to send a serious message:
Consider that one well-received by the Wildcats.

Can your project teams see how they generate revenue?
Posted by Jessica
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Project and Program Management
If your company is primarily project-based—deriving revenue by billing clients for work on specific tasks—then no doubt you're constantly concerned with billable hours. The more of them you can generate efficiently, the more successful you'll be. A simple measure of that efficiency is utilization: the ratio of billable to non-billable work. But how do you gauge that with minimal effort (which itself, of course, is non-billable)? And maybe just as important: How do you make your employees and contractors aware of how well they're doing with utilization? Online timesheets have a unique ability to help you see and share utilization rates, and ultimately produce more revenue.
How? For one thing, you can quickly identify situations in which utilization is below expectation. But even better: Your project team members can see for themselves how they're progressing toward goals. They can directly track billable versus non-billable time and always know their utilization. This can be a great way to get workers to perform more strategically. When they monitor their own profitability, they're likelier to take action to keep it high.
Good timesheet software gives you not only these high-level views, but also the ability to see utilization trends and to report on aspects however you need.
Learn more in our white paper: Using Timesheets to Boost Utilization and Revenue.

Hi there,
This my first post here and I am fairly new to coding so I apologize if I don't sound like I don't know what I'm doing and for the long post...
So I am currently working on an internship project that revolves around a database for a school. There is only one part that needs to be completed.
I have written a PHP script that allows the school to make changes to the database without needing to understand PHPmyAdmin or MySQL. The script runs off of two different pages, the first page allows the user to select which changes they want made using check boxes. After clicking the "Update Database" page it takes you to the second page which displays the results of what you did.
Behind the scenes, the "results" page is the php that actually edits the database. This all works on my machine. I gave it the school's IT team and they set it up to work on their servers, unfortunately they also changed the code that communicates with the database. The result: Every time I click "Update Database" on the first page, it loads only the shell of the results page.
I am fairly new to PHP/MySQL coding and my question is, what did they do and how do I make it work? I would ask their IT team but the guy that made the changes is going to be on vacation for a while and I would like to get this done fairly soon.
Here is the script from the "results page" that interacts with the database:
Originally, I used a "mySqlConnection" file that holds all the connection information for my database, but that is only for my computer and doesn't translate to the school's servers. It looks like this part was commented and the IT team inserted their own code, which obviously breaks any connections that I had.Code:<?php include("assign.inc"); //require_once 'MySqlConnection.php'; /* $server = 'localhost'; $dataBase = 'ise_programs'; $userName = 'root'; $password = ''; $mySqlConnection = new MySqlConnection($server, $dataBase, $userName, $password); $townName = $_POST["townName"]; //$townName = addslashes($townName); //To pevent SQL Injection, but make sure magic quotes are off $townidQuery = "SELECT townid FROM tbltowns WHERE townname = '$townName'"; $townidArray = $mySqlConnection->doQuery($townidQuery); $townid = $townidArray[0][0]; */ $townName = $_POST["townName"]; $query = "SELECT townid FROM tbltowns WHERE townname = '" . addslashes($townName) . "'"; $town_result = $db->query($query); $townid = $town_result->result(); //grab values the user selected in the form if(isset($_POST["ICLEI"])){ $iclei = $_POST["ICLEI"]; } if(isset($_POST["CCEF"])){ $ccef = $_POST["CCEF"]; } if(isset($_POST["ISE"])){ $ise = $_POST["ISE"]; } if(isset($_POST["CEEF"])){ $ceef = $_POST["CEEF"]; } if(isset($_POST["EPACC"])){ $epacc = $_POST["EPACC"]; } if(isset($_POST["K12ISE"])){ $k12ise = $_POST["K12ISE"]; } if(isset($_POST["KCTC"])){ $kctc = $_POST["KCTC"]; } if(isset($_POST["MBBPM"])){ $mbbpm = $_POST["MBBPM"]; } if(isset($_POST["N2N"])){ $n2n = $_POST["N2N"]; } if(isset($_POST["SBPM"])){ $sbpm = $_POST["SBPM"]; } ?>

Results for <?php echo($townName) ?>
 <?php /* $enabledProjectsListQuery = "SELECT projectid FROM tblenabledprojects WHERE townid = $townid"; $enabledProjectsList = $mySqlConnection->doQuery($enabledProjectsListQuery); */ $query = "SELECT projectid FROM tblenabledprojects WHERE townid = '" . addslashes($townid) .

Product Description
Quill & Quire
We call this planet "Earth," although water covers about 75% of its surface. This discrepancy has undoubtedly influenced the way we have historically regarded the world's oceans: as seemingly endless dumping grounds and inexhaustible sources of seafood and other commodities. As the pernicious effects of climate change exacerbate millennia of abuse, is it too late to save the oceans? Former Globe and Mail environment reporter Alanna Mitchell, author of Dancing at the Dead Sea, asks this question – and many others – in her new book. The disasters Mitchell enumerates include widespread coastal pollution, bleached coral reefs, acidification, and the imminent loss of wild foods depended upon by millions of people. These problems and their possible solutions are a challenge to describe, but Mitchell's journalistic skills keep her writing accessible. Each chapter in the book blends lucid, factual explanation of complex subjects with engaging chronicles of the author's travels to far-flung parts of the globe. The book's unrelentingly sombre tone can be tough to stick with. Mitchell notes that other writers feel the need to inject hope into their own doomsday scenarios, but for her the prospect proves daunting until the very end, when she has an epiphany while exploring the dark reaches of the ocean in a submersible (bringing new meaning to the term "rapture of the deep"). As hopefulness floods her, she realizes humans may yet rise to the occasion and turn things around. Sea Sick's lack of footnotes and source notes give it a personal feel (albeit with a decidedly scientific and ethical slant). But this lack of analytical rigour will likely be of little concern to popular-science aficionados eager to understand the current predicament facing three-quarters of the planetary surface.
"A riveting book of revelations about Earth's largest and most important habitat."
— Tim Flannery, author of The Weathermakers
"Sea Sick is the most comprehensive book to date on the state of our oceans. With a writer's eye for detail and a reporter's expertise in pulling in disparate information, Mitchell has woven a powerful and deeply unsettling story about our collective abuse of the cradle of all life. Fortunately, she also gives us hope and a path forward if we have the wisdom to act."
— Maude Barlow
"Alanna Mitchell has brilliantly woven together the threads of science taking place all over the world pointing to an accelerating crisis in the world's oceans. She makes the case compellingly that the declining health of the planet's oceans — the place where life began, larger than our atmosphere and where 99% of life exists — is an imminent threat to survival on land. I thought I was sufficiently well-informed and alert to the risks of planetary collapse before reading this book. Turns out I was wrong. The climate crisis is more an ocean crisis. That she still finds reasons to hope is one reason you must read this book."
— Elizabeth May
"Humanity is visiting a desolation upon the world. We already bear primary responsibility for the extermination of more than 100,000 fellow species/fellow travelers. During the next few decades, that colossal massacre may well be doubled or trebled. Death is running amok on the earth, but especially in the sea. If you would know how and why, read Sea Sick . . . although it may make you heartsick."
— Farley Mowat
"…she writes intelligently and passionately. You need to read it too."
— Globe & Mail
"Keeping the ocean's life switch turned on will require all of us to, like Mitchell, choose hope and to do something about it. Reading this book is a good first step."
— Montreal Gazette
"A strong examination of degraded global ocean health based on years of research with top world scientists."
— The Vancouver Province
"An engaging overview on the state of our oceans."
— Treehugger.com
"Each chapter in the book blends lucid, factual explanation of complex subjects with engaging chronicles of the author's travels to far-flung parts of the globe."

"The ocean is impossibly complicated, interconnected, turbulent, and non-linear, and it touches every part of life. Humans can only understand it by trying to grasp far simpler proxies. Such as: every tear you cry ends up back in the ocean system. Every third molecule of carbon dioxide you exhale is absorbed into the ocean. Every second breath you take comes from the oxygen produced by [the global ocean`s] plankton."
The above comes from the prologue of this stunningly informative book by newspaper journalist and environmental reporter Alanna Mitchell. (In the United States, this book is entitled "Seasick.")
Mitchell has written a book about the ocean. So! What's the big deal? Well, she has discovered that "the global ocean [is] in crisis" or is "sick." What's causing it to be sick? Answer: human activity.
If all life on land were to die, the ocean and all life in it would still thrive. But the reverse is not true. If all ocean life dies, life on land would die also.
Mitchell researched this book across five continents and over two and a half years. She "travelled from country to country, topic to topic, research boat to research boat" talking with many key scientists along the way. This book is a record of her adventures, observations, and what she has learned. It is well-written and easy to follow.
Mitchell joins the crews of leading scientists in nine of these global ocean`s hotspots:
(1) The Great Barrier Reef, Australia
(2) Gulf of Mexico, U.S.Read more ›
I highly recommend this book to all who are concerned about the state of our planetary life-support systems.
Mitchell's book can now be considered to be one of the four pillars of required reading for those who really want to understand climate change. The other three are "The Weathermakers" by Tim Flannery, "The Economics of Climate Change" by Sir Nicholas Stern, and of course "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore.
This truly is a must read and it is so engaging, frank, and at some points truly disturbing in the import of its content, that you will not want to put it down. At the end of it I hope you will believe that you can become part of the solution and not wind up despairing for the human race.

Huston also fought with Ray Bradbury over the screenplay. The great science fiction author was literally reduced to tears by the gruff director, and he wrote a book about the experience. There was also some conflict over the casting of Gregory Peck as Ahab. Some say Orson Welles or Leo Genn (Starbuck) would have been a better choice. This may well be, but it should be admitted that Peck rises to the occasion when it's called for. The great scene with the Spanish doubloon and the great scene with Starbuck on the bridge, where Ahab explains his obsession. Few other actors are likely to have surpassed these moments.
According to IMDb, MOBY DICK was shot in 1.66:1 aspect ratio. This DVD does not present the film in that ratio, yet it does not appear to be a pan & scan transfer. The film looks very good and and nothing appears to have been done to tamper with the color. This is most likely how it should look. The director fought with the studio over the color process used in MOBY DICK: it's intentional. He and the cinematographer were trying to capture a visual style that would be evocative of a period style of painting that would contribute to the mood of the story.
Anyone interested in background on this film should read THE HUSTONS by Lawrence Grobel. The harrowing production is detailed, with plenty of attention given to the above-mentioned conflicts and also to the shooting of the INCREDIBLE final sequence.
Some extras would have been welcome, but this DVD is more than worth owning by any fan of Melville, Huston or American film.
Although some have complained about Gregory Peck's performance as Captain Ahab, I feel that his cold reserved expressions in the film work just as well in showing a man consumed by hatred and a lust for revenge. In line with Melville's extremely religious themes, the character of Ahab is a man who feels he's been cheated by nature and God and so seeks his revenge. Taking his doomed men with him around the world, he seeks to exact his vengeance on the great white whale who took his leg, Moby Dick. The sailor Ishmael (Richard Basehart) is the voice of innocence and redemption.
The direction and cinematography is superb. Huston was a master of his craft and had directed many timeless classics by the time he did Moby Dick. I recommend this film as the best adaptation of the story with the strongest cast as well as the best directed.
There seems to be an ongoing debate about whether or not this film was shot widescreen, and everyone on both sides will insist they are right. I can certainly say that I have seen a LaserDisc version of this in the early 1990's, which was matted at 1.85:1, and to boot, it was from a better print with better display of the color tinting used especially for the movie; as far as I remember, the transfer process was either supervised or endorsed by Martin Scorsese, of all people, even with a disclaimer on the jacket explaining the unusual coloring process. For the record, although this DVD is passable enough for me to own (mostly because I have enjoyed this movie since I was a child and still enjoy it in my 30's), MGM could have done much better with this presentation, and I will make this my official call for a better edition.
