TANF Child Care Spending in 2011
Jun 04, 2012
After a sharp fall in 2010, federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds used for child care assistance increased slightly from $2.8 billion to $2.9 billion in 2011, an increase of $121 million. This level is still far below the $3.5 billion used for child care in 2009, according to new data released by the Administration for Children and Families. States do not report on the number of children served in TANF-funded child care; however, growing waiting lists and cuts to child care assistance programs in states across the country suggest that many families still are not receiving the help they need to go to work and provide for their families.
States choose to use TANF funds to provide child care assistance to families and may do so by spending TANF funds directly on child care or by transferring funds to the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). Between 2010 and 2011, TANF funds spent directly on child care decreased slightly from $1.43 billion to $1.35 billion. States may choose to transfer up to 30 percent of their annual TANF block grant to CCDBG or to a combination of CCDBG and the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG). TANF transfers to CCDBG increased by $193 million from $1.4 billion in 2010 to $1.6 billion in 2011.
Seven states transferred the maximum amount of funds to a combination of CCDBG and SSBG: Alaska, Idaho, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Washington. Ten additional states transferred between 25 and 30 percent of their TANF funds: Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
States are required to spend state dollars through a TANF maintenance-of-effort (MOE) requirement. State 2011 MOE spending on child care remained relatively consistent with 2010 spending at $2.6 billion. A portion of TANF MOE funds spent on child care may also be directed toward states' CCDBG MOE requirement. The Administration for Children and Families has not yet released FY 2011 expenditure data for CCDBG, so it is not possible to determine total child care spending (CCDBG and TANF combined) for 2011. According to CLASP analysis, total child care spending in 2010 was $12.6 billion, a year which included additional available dollars due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. State child care assistance factsheets for 2010 are available on CLASP's website. State-by-state tables analyzing TANF and MOE spending in 2011 are available from ACF.
Although funding for child care assistance through TANF increased in 2011, the TANF block grant overall saw a decline in funding, leading many states to make tough choices. For a further discussion of this recent data on TANF funds in 2011, see CLASP's In Focus TANF Funding Cuts Result in Less Assistance to Poor Families >>

Appointments were beautiful and the staff were helpful to every circumstance - especially to late night city walkers. Complements to Steeve and to the gals who run the breakfast bar
The hotel is in a very convenient location. The staff was particularly helpful about walking directions and restaurant suggestions. The room was very clean and comfortable. A good value. The road was torn up so it was somewhat difficult to get close to the hotel and find a place to stop. But once we were there we were directed to the hotel parking not far away.
Central Location.
The staff was very helpful. Having a great restaurant in the hotel was advantageous. The location was convenient for our visit. The room was very small.
The attached restaurant is outstanding athough room was supposed to be a double, it was barely large enough for a single bed. The bathroom was incredibley small and the sink overlapped the toilet, making "a visit" an uncomfortable experience..
I loved the style of the hotel. Very special and unspoilt. I hope it never changes.
The hotel was clean, the room was spacious (compared to Paris hotels)the bed was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful and friendly - a nice place to stay.
Very well located, room and bathroom clean and reasonable size, parking near by convenient.
The hotel was centrally located and had a free fast wifi internet connection. My roomed looked on to the street and there was quite a lot of noise from late-night revellers.
Very clean and good looking rooms and bathrooms! The hotel's interior is very attractive!
Convenient to centre
We spent two nights here mainly to do Christmas shopping. The hotel is placed right in the middle of all the lovely shops in Angers and so it was a perfect choice. Also near the Cathedral, theatre and cinema. Not too easy to find by car. We had to park the car at a park down by the river, walk up to the hotel and then get directions. On hotel advice we then parked in an underground car park two minutes away. It was 27 euros for two nights but very secure and accessible.
Friendly staff and the central location
Friendly staff
proximity to the inexpensive garage, proximity to restaurants,
Good location -good value for money - you get what you pay for -decor tired, but room spotless Faulty boiler meant no hot water on 2 occasions!
location and staff
Obliging staff, convenient location, quiet. no minibar (I don't want the drinks, but I hate not having anywhere to keep things cold)
Good value for money and very friendly staff. The hotel is well located and parking is easy. The breakfst is a little bit expensive but very good. Maybe the price of the breakfast (an option to have a smaller, simple, cheaper breakfast than the buffet)
Friendly staff, good simple fare.
The staff at the hotel was fantastic! Everyone we came into contact with was helpful and kind. The hotel itself was a great value for the price. A wonderful place to stay.
quiet rooms and efficient staff. Good breakfast.
Hotel is nice for its price. Basic, but clean and cosy.The breakfast is good. I did like much the historic "spirit" of the house: It is built from thick wooden timbers, which are nicely demonstrated in the lobby. Room was not big.
This is a great hotel, conveniently located near the station and close to the city centre. The staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel is nicely decorated and was beautifully clean. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed very good breakfast. As has been said, the soundproofing is excellent, although traffic is minimal during the night. We were travelling by bicycle and the hotel had storage space for these and we were able to leave the bikes during a day spend touring the city. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
The staff were very friendly and happy to advise on the city of Angers. Considering the proximity of the hotel to the station I was amazed at how quiet the rooms were.
It was in the perfect location, right in the centre of Angers. The staff were extremely helpful and were very friendly to the large Irish group who were staying in the hotel to attend a wedding.They went out of their way to help us and we booked early getting great value for money. It's a pity the construction works for the tram system is outside the front door and outside the restaurant which can be noisy if you sit outside
Good location Parking and access difficult due to road works
The hotel is clean, centrally located, and the staff are very helpful. It was a great value.
Very Quiet, comfortable room. Centrally located , helpfull staff and good restaurant for evening meals.Good size room. Hot breakfast fair and water not hot enough to make proper tea.
Convenient town centre location. Not close to station -a good 10 minute walk away. Used to be the (Bleu) Marine Hotel before Mercure took it over. Breakfast a complete rip off at 15 ECU (european currency units). Much better to go to a cafe.
it was central and the restaurant was very good
Helpful Staff, multilingual and reserved parking. Room too warm for us even with the Air Conditioning.
Clean hotel, modern feel, friendly staff.... Overall excellent Can't think of any bad points
Comfort and cleanliness of the room, good facilities, adequate bathroom,friendly and helpful staff, location at rear of hotel, as roadworks in the front. Leak from bathroom above into shower compartment one day. limited TV channels
modern decor but nothing else in particular The roadworks outside the window. room was overheated and a bit small. Lighting was too low.
only critic : no ventilation in the bathroom. Otherwise excellent on all respects
Our superior room was most attractively designed with an excellent bathroom, towelling robes and toiletries. The bed was large and comfortable and bed linen superb. Although the hotel is quiet and alongside a beautiful garden, it is located in a very busy area with much traffic. Parking is integral which makes a huge difference to one's stay.
Warm welcome, well situated, clean and comfortable rooms and friendly and helpful staff. Hotel bar and restaurant could stay open a little later.
Secure parking, breakfast good, near the town centre close to restaurants and bars, big room The water pressure was not great that meant the shower was poor and it would take an age to fill the bath.
Be aware of that the reception closes at midnight.
The location was good and close to the centre of town. It is a little too modern and headboard a little weird but overall very comfortable. Not a great deal of difference regarding privilege room except coffee machine. Standard would be fine for most.
Rooms are modern and contemporary and very clean.Staff helpful and underground parking very useful. With the current exchange rate of approx £1 - EUR1, breakfast is very expensive at EUR 15. The 'smaller' breakfast of just coffee, croissant and orange juice is EUR 8......not good value for UK travellers at this time !!
As the name might suggest, the hotel has an excellent location for Angers. In my experience, the staff were excellent too. Overall, I'd look forward to going back and hope to do so.
Fantastic location for the price we paid. Lovely park behind the hotel. Would definately recommend.
Reception very helpful. Junior suite extremely comfortable, nice too have two rooms with two TVs. Very tight parking. Not for the larger vechicle.Coffee machine in room far too complicated to get coffee from! Poor standard of service & food in dining room. They totally forgot our main course, we went from starter to sweet in just over the hour! Food just okay, and not special as the price should demand. Plat de Jour basic dry chichen & chips, no better than self service motorway standard, in fact had better on the motorway!
Very friendly staff. Central but quite location with many nice restaurants around. Big and clean room.
Staff were very helpful and experienced. The Hotel is as described on your website. Breakfast costs....which, in France, are now separate from the room...seemed high for what was available on the buffet.
Just a one night stopover, this was in a quiet location but still close to restaurants and shops. Our room was quite small, but they welcome dogs which is essential for us. We ate at the Novo restaurant around the corner which was excellent.
the location was very good as it was centrally located for visiting the town of Angers. Car parking was also a bonus. The breakfast selection could be better but was adequate for the price.
Very lovely building, staff, easy location to find off the main roads. Parking lot.
We enjoyed the quiet calm of the hotel, near the centre of Angers. The room was spacious and the staff very helpful. It was useful having parking in a private courtyard in front of the hotel.
Well-heated room and comfortable bed. The quaint architecture of the building and the fact that it is the site of some interesting parts of Angers City's history. Central location but yet extremely quiet. Private car park. Service provided by hotel's internet provider did not seem to be stable somehow. And this was not a problem of signal reception as it was always "very good" in the room I was (internet explorer kept freezing and I had to switch my computer on and off to get connected to internet again).
The location was perfect with city parking available. The courtyard would have been a good place for a beer under the tree if beer was available.
The staff were attentive.The bed was comfortable. The room was miniscule and the bathroom a shoebox.By far the smallest room of the five hotels we stayed in.
Beautifull building and interior very helpful staff Breakfast fair but expensive
only used the bar as we arrived late, barman give us his time at the end of the night to talk to us.
We arrived on motorbikes which normally scares people however staff were very friendly and helpfull even sorted a hire car for us. Rooms excellent and very clean with great showers!!
cleanliness. helpful staff too far from city centre
Parking privé et fermé la nuit. Environnement très moche. Restaurant très moyen.
The restaurant - food is excellent (a la carte), breakfest - very good. Very comfortable bed! Not only shower but as well bathtub in the room. Could be excellent for the conferences, seminars. Shopping centre near the hotel. Beautiful nature - park across the road - spend 2 wonderful evenings away from business dinners and city noises! :) Not in walking distance from the city centre. Taxi cost was 15 EUR from railway station to the hotel. However - there is bus stop near the hotel.
Free WIFI
Clean and refurbished bedrooms. Good value if you get special offer but I would never pay full price for that kind of bedroom. Good food in restaurant but the colour changing wall effect with the LEDs become very annoying after a few minutes...
Modern and clean, simple but with everything needed.
Pillows are awfully uncomfortable and very small. A minor annoyance is that the air conditioning is turned off at night causing you to become too hot by 0600. Alternative was to open window but noise to great then.
easy to find and although we arrived late arrangements had been made for us to get into our rooms No for what we wanted it was ideal
The room was comfortable and a good size for a family of 4. the bathroom was clean and the shower was good.
The staff were both friendly and helpful The entire reception/admin closed at 7pm
Able to have an adjoining room for kids, and also kids eat free at breakfast. There is a Buffallo Grill 5 minute walk away. Located in an industrial estate, need a car to access anything. Daunting walk back in the evening from the Buffalo Grill as the hotel was in darkness as if it was closed down.
The room was large and pleasant. The continental breatfast was reasonable. The Internet did not work - they use Noodo Wifi, I could not get this to work. When I tried to register it, it said I was already registered. It would give me passwords that did not work and would say I was not registered. In other hotels, the Internet works fine and I have no trouble. The Internet is an important consideration for me in the choice of a hotel.
free wifi. good room and bathroom. quiet. if you dont have a car you cannot stay here. it is kilometres away from the city centre and practically no public transport. No lift available.
Near highway and Angers The window of the rom was near the highway
The manager was very hospitable. The rooms were clean and conveniently located. Breakfast was very expensive.
early closing of restaurant
easy to find, rooms well laid out and comfortablewe we selected the hotel because it had a resteraunt on site, after traveling all day we did not want to have to go out again for a Meal. On arrival we were told the restaraunt was not open , no explanation .we had to eat out at a Bufalo Grill, we were very disappointed!
It was clean... atleast bedsheets were... Hotel stuff indifference to anything; - Ex: - during breakfast some fruit fell on the floor and when we left 30 mins later, it was still there with hotel stuff stepping over it and ignoring the mess... makes you wonder what else they ignore
excellent location in front of the station. Breakfast was nice. Price is not so high but we are not in Paris as well nothing particular.
Location was excellent, just opposite to the train station. Staff were very friendly Room was a bit small
Reception staff were extremely helpful with useful information and directions. Also very friendly and accomodating.
Care from the hotel staff. Breakfast made with bio products.
Nice French feel , convenient parking, good breakfast. Traffic mayhem around the hotel when we first arrived around 19.00hrs could not park to book-in. OK an hour later.
Excellent location, clean room Jcb credit card was not accepted
The staff was very helpful when we arrived early in the morning (before 6:30 A.M.) on our check-in date. They were also accommodating when we had to stay and extra night and add one person.
secure car parking even though they were a short walk from the hotel.breakfast good
Great location
Good location near the main roads and good choice at the restaurant.
Ease of booking. God welcome and helpful Rather utilitarian
Very good restaurant, good value Window broken and not secure. Location alongside motorway, although fortunately our room was not on that side. Very difficult to find, Multimap location not clear and address misleading.
Good car parking. Good choice of food in the restaurant and at breakfast
Very comfortable bed, useful transit location for us The Hotel was hard to find in the last mile, we came off the motorway and found a vague sign in 'French only' with the name of the hotel, the address offered online was useless for our Satnav so drove around the area and over the motorway a few times before finally figuring out how to get to the place!
Location for transit stay Room outlook not the best
It was simple, confortable perfect for what we wanted the tv was fusy
Good value, efficient service, friendly staff. Please give the name of the road in which the hotel entrance is located - it is not on Avenue Gallieni. Better directions are needed,
Compact, comfortable and clean room in easy walking distance of all main city centre facilities and attractions including bars and restaurants. Good parking for the weekend at the nearby multistory car park. Very helpul knowledgeable and polite reception staff. Good value.
Staff was great
Extremely friendly & helpful staff. Convenient parking garage nearby. Excellent breakfast.
Really easy to find and right next to cheap car park. Helpful staff
We liked the hotel's space, central location and wifi availability. Secure parking was close by though street parking may have been available.
Very clean and an agreable design.Close centre ville and railway station.Very good comfort/price.
Location, car park across the road, cleanliness of the room and hotel. There is no lift and my room was on the 3rd floor although the staff helped with suitcases.
Quiet and well organised
Nice and quiet hotel with friendly staff. Location in the City Center with good parking facilities. None :-)
Hotel was very clean and also comfortable. The location was good and staff friendly. Parking is right opposite and plenty of restraunts to choose from. It was hard to find.I feel more sign posts should be in the streets directing youto the hotel location.We had to go to the tourism office to ask for directions
Simplicity, you kno wwhat to expect at a Campanille
It's quiet and has a fine restaurant. There's a bus stop about 200 metres away and could take you to the city centre within 20 minutes. It's not that convenient if you travel by public transports. There's not any service later than 7:30pm although the bus stop is just 2 minutes away.
a tea kettle in the room
Too near to other traffic and to other hotels Not eay to find. I think it would have been incredibly for a non-French speaker to find. More directions are needed
Friendly stuff, easy booking, no englsih speaking TV station. At least one english speacing tv station should be available
Easy and quick access to rooms from parking Noisy street, bad flushing of shower
Restaurant on site aftera day travelling was very helpful and enjoyable, good value meal.

It might be a bad cable or connector - maybe hairline crack in board..
Set up a 'viewer' to look at errors on line (maybe Wireshark in realtime
mode) and then wiggle cables and connectors - look for changes in the
error rate.
A software problem usually gives 0 errors or 100% errors. Hardware
problem is most probable.
Good luck

text: Bobcats Squeeze Past Thunderbird Men February 01, 2014 By SUU Strategic Communication Related Links Complete Game Statistics A.J. Hess scored 14 points, pulled down five rebounds and dished out three assists for SUU Saturday night Courtesy: SUU Strategic Communications CEDAR CITY, Utah, Feb. 1 – Flavien Davis scored 16 points, including the final two of the game, as Montana State pulled out a 54-52 win in Big Sky men's basketball action Saturday night. Davis scored inside with 31 seconds to play to give the Bobcats the 54-52 lead. Southern Utah called a quick time out and set up a play but John Marshall's game-tying running jumper was negated after the officials called an offensive foul on him. The door wasn't completely shut, however, as the Thunderbirds quickly fouled MSU's Eric Norman, who missed two free throws wit six seconds to go. A.J. Hess pulled down the rebound and raced upcourt but Norman came through on the other end, partially blocking Race Parsons' potential game-winning 3-pointer as time expired. "We made some mistakes earlier when we could have capitalized and we had some calls that didn't go our way but you have to play through that, and we did play through it," SUU Coach Nick Robinson said. "I'm proud of the way we played hard; continued improvement is always good to see but we did have some breakdowns." Southern Utah hit 10-of-18 shots (.556) and held the Bobcats to just 22.6 percent shooting (12-of-22) in the first half. The Thunderbirds led throughout the period with leads of as many as 11 points, before Montana State scored the final seven points of the half to pull within 24-20 at the break. "Credit Montana State for taking care of the basketball and keeping it a close game," Robinson noted. "We had opportunities in the first half and again in the second half to build on our lead but we weren't able to take advantage." Southern Utah suffered a big blow midway through the first half when leading scorer and starting point guard Trey Kennedy went down with an apparent knee injury, but the Thunderbirds played well without him. "That didn't change our strategy, we just had to have guys come in and pick us up and we did," Robinson pointed out. "John [Marshall] and Drake [Thomas] came in and ran the offense, they did what they needed to do." Hess scored 14 points to lead the Thunderbirds, while Race Parsons came off the bench to score eight and Casey Oliverson also finished with eight. Cal Hanks came off the bench to pull down seven points while Jayson Cheesman and Juwan Major both came off the bench to block two shots. Oliverson, Hess and Jaren Jeffery each had three assists to lead the T-Birds. Norman was the second-leading scorer for MSU with nine points and he pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. Marcus Colbert had three assists to lead the Bobcats. SUU dipped to 0-19 in league play and 1-18 overall while MSU moved to 5-4 in the Big Sky and 10-10 overall. -- SUU --

Queens Of The Stone Age release new song, video
Listen to Queens of the Stone Age on iHeartRadio
Queens of the Stone Age promised darker material on their upcoming album, and the band's latest sneak peek is living up to that promise.
The rockers unveiled a preview video Monday for the second song released from the record, "I Appear Missing." The animated clip follows a bloody and bandaged man as he floats across a post-apocalyptic desert landscape toward a deserted city, where he meets a bloody ending.
The grim video lasts three minutes, but the version of "I Appear Missing" that will appear on the new Queens record, ...Like Clockwork, will reportedly be twice as long. ...Like Clockwork is scheduled to arrive in stores on June 4th.

"Jernimo de Albaniz" in the edition of 1542 (Bandelier translation).
We have referred to the results of Mr. Bandelier's explorations.
Mr. Bandelier could only surmise that these were garden-plots, something like the ancient terrace garden-plots in Peru.
"Apalachen," as above, in the edition of 1542 (Bandelier translation).
This celebrated mound or pyramid has lately been the subject of a very careful study by Mr. Bandelier.
The above is a retranslation by Mr. Bandelier from the Spanish text.
Mr. Bandelier regards the "chief-of-men" as simply a military commander; Montezuma was a "priest-commander."
At any rate, such are the only kind of ruins noticed in the upper part of this same valley by Mr. Bandelier.
In the neighborhood of Fort Reno Mr. Bandelier discovered a new architectural feature of great interest to us.
Mr. Bandelier's final conclusion in regard to the purpose of its erection is one of great interest, but not at all surprising.

TAZEWELL, TENN.- The Brevard College men's golf team finished a season-best 5th place at the State Farm Intercollegiate earlier this week after the Tornados shot an even par (288) in the second round. Hosted by Lincoln Memorial University at Woodlake Golf Club, a 6,771-yard par 72, the State Farm Intercollegiate was a two-day event comprised of 12 teams and 63 individual golfers.
The Tornados were tied for 6th after round one, but used their best round of the season to grab sole possession of 5th place.
"The second round team score (level par) was the best this year for us," said head coach Dave Nelson. "I continue to see great improvement in the players. Being so young (three freshman and two sophomores), we just have to be patient. The talent is there, we just need more tournament experience."
BC freshman Sebastian Strehl shot a solid 146, carding a 73 on Monday and Tuesday to finish two-over-par. Sophomore Sami Vanni shot a 76 on Monday, but rebounded with a 68 (-4) on Tuesday.
"Vanni again showed he can post some low scores," Nelson added. "His 68 in round two was very solid."
The Tornados wrap their fall campaign next week at the Walters State Fall Invitational in Morristown, Tennessee.

Van Morrison and Bob Dylan for inspiration, Adam Duritz wrote melancholy lyrics more in sync with the world-weary perspective of post-grunge rock & roll. Duritz was born in Baltimore, MD, on August 1, 1964. In 1991, he formed Counting Crows with guitarist David Bryson in San Francisco, performing acoustic sets in coffeehouses. The duo eventually added bassist Matt Malley, guitarist Dan Vickrey, drummer Steve Bowman, and keyboardist Charles Gillingham. The band was equal parts roots rock and R.E.M. jangle, united by Duritz's sad, introspective songs. Two years later, the group recorded their debut album, August and Everything After. The LP didn't catch on at first; the band was mainly played on adult alternative radio stations, which were then only a handful. But the upbeat "Mr. Jones" caught on with MTV in 1994 and the Generation X alternative rock fans who were getting burned out on the guitar-fueled hard stuff from Seattle. When the pensive ballad "Round Here" hit the airwaves, Duritz became the superstar he longed to be in "Mr. Jones." Despite the massive critical acclaim that August and Everything After received, Duritz was often labeled a Morrison clone; the group even substituted for Morrison at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in 1993. In the mid-'90s, Duritz's private life became tabloid fodder as he dated actress Jennifer Aniston. The couple eventually broke up; however, Duritz continued to find success with Counting Crows as well as assisting Ryan Adams on his album Gold.
Although he looked to Van Morrison and Bob Dylan for inspiration, Adam Duritz wrote melancholy lyrics more in sync with the world-weary perspective of post-grunge rock & roll. Duritz was born in Baltimore,…

text: I figure I'm saving quite a bit by using my own cloth. My tailor has quoted me about $800.00 to $1,000 additional to supply the same cloth I can purchase for about $200.00. Almost every tailor I've ever talked to marks up the fabric by a factor of at least 200% to 300%. I'm willing to believe that a bespoke tailor has given you a $1000 discount if you bring you own cloth but let me tell you: that's not a common number at all. Most tailors who do CMT will not cut that much. I use one tailor who does CMT and procures fabric too - the difference in price vs what I can purchase myself is maybe $100.

SANFORD, FL -- The alleged mastermind of Florida's Allied Veterans gambling scandal was sentenced in February to six years in prison on one count of racketeering for his role in an Internet sweepstakes operation. Kelly Mathis is the first person to go to trial, and remains free on bond pending an appeal filed after the sentencing. Nearly 60 people were arrested a year ago following a three-year investigation into Allied Veterans of the World, a Jacksonville-based charity group accused of collecting millions of dollars for itself and awarding little money to veterans. Trials for others involved are underway.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (Sunday, May 3, 2009) – Mainland America just completed its first Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star PRIME event yesterday with the 6.0 Lowers Pro at the premier location of Lower Trestles in San Clemente, California. Local talents Nathan Yeomans (San Clemente, CA), 27, and Tanner Gudauskas (San Clemente, CA), 20, led the contingent of ASP WQS talent looking to qualify for next year's ASP World Tour and finished third an fifth respectively.
Both Yeomans and Gudauskas (above) significantly improved their standing on the ASP WQS due to the 6.0 Lowers Pro's ASP 6-Star PRIME status, which offers the maximum amount of ratings points available towards qualification for the ASP World Tour.
Yeomans used the support of his local crowd to top some of the world's finest surfers including 2001 ASP World Champion and current ASP World Tour No. 5 C.J. Hobgood (Melbourne, FL), 29, aerial specialist Dane Reynolds (Ventura, CA), 23, and Nic Muscroft (Victoria, AUS), 26.
"It's insane that Nike 6.0 stepped up and made this contest a 6-Star PRIME," Yeomans said. "To be at home and get that many points is great and I think this is going to be a huge confidence booster and a good one for the rest of the year."
Yeoman's impressive third place finish at the premier event launches him from No. 21 to No.6 on the ASP WQS.
Gudauskas surfed amazingly in front of his home crowd and battled against some of the world's finest surfers on the way to his solid result. The San Clemente native ousted top talents such as ASP World Tour surfers Heitor Alves (Rio De Janiero, BRA), 27, and Aritz Aranburu (Zarautz, EUK), 23, as well as 2008 ASP World Tour campaigner Jay Thompson (Burleigh Heads, AUS), 25, on the way to his Quarterfinals berth.
"I'm just taking it one heat at a time, I guess," Gudauskas said. "Every heat I've had has been really tough and I didn't really look past it. I just came out on top in that one. I knew Jay (Thompson) was going to be gnarly."
The fifth place result earned by the standout goofy-footer at the ASP 6-Star PRIME event will play a crucial role in his attempt at qualification for next year's ASP World Tour. Gudauskas is hungry to qualify for the ASP World Tour and the result launches him from 35th to 10th overall.
"I'm making a push to qualify this year," Gudauskas said. "I'm stoked to get a good start and I have a couple of 1200 pointers, so this one will help even them out."
Tanner earned the best result of his older brothers and travel partners Patrick and Dane. The Gudauskas Trio give each other constant support, relying on each other for video coverage and feedback from each of their heats.
"I think between the three of us, we don't really look at the points," Gudauskas said. "There are no real battles between us. We try and help each other out. They're down here with the video camera supporting me and I do the same for them."

Post subject: Flux' Ready to Rumble Mock Draft
More changes per usual. With it being this early in the game, I tend to "play" with mocks a bit more and I usually tend to a combo of how stock is now and where I think it will end up rather than one way or another. As typical, I expect a lot to change leading to the draft. With Senior Bowl stuff underway and the Super Bowl about to occur, things are starting to pick up a bit, but it is still a slow process.
If I miss anything obvious or make any mistakes, please let me know. As always, all criticism is welcome and is encouraged.

Highly doubt the Steelers go Jenkins in the first. Two reasons: Hankins is a better nose tackle prospect, and after the last seasons draft picks (Ta'amu, Raney) screwed up so bad they'll be wary of taking people with possible problems, and thats Jenkins.
Believe that in that situation, they would have to ask if a Te'o or Minter/Jesse Williams middle is better than an Arthur Brown/Hankins middle. IMHO I think it is.

He scares me too but those are two ultra-prospects. Jones is the #1 pick without his condition and at #9 could b a steal considering Georgia cleared him..
I honestly think the jets will trade down. I can see a team trading ahead of Tennessee for Womack...
P.s. A lot of ppl are comparing decastro to Womack... Im sorry but to me thats like comparing geno Smith to rg3... Just cause both are at the top of their positions in the draft doesnt make them equal prospects
Womack is the best og prospect since Steve Hutchinson

I'm not as big on Jenkins as I once was. He's okay but I like Te'o, Okafor, or Mingo more.
I don't like Brown in the second. He's not a good fit for the Steelers. I would be ecstatic if Eric Reid, Eddie Lacy, Chase Thomas, or Jesse Williams are on the board come their selection in the second round. Any of those guys would be a better pick.

I like Hunter and all but if Ezekiel Ansah is available take him all the way. Perfect versatility for us and DL coach/DC Dan Quinn.
Then Jesse Williams over Sylvester. Williams obviously isn't as quick but is far stronger and will allow those around him to thrive.

The world today faces significant economic, environmental and social challenges. While no single policy instrument holds all the answers, innovation is the key ingredient of any effort to improve people's quality of life. Today's recovery from the global financial and economic crisis remains fragile. As countries seek to improve productivity performance and ensure sustained growth, they will need to boost their capacity to innovate. Innovation is also essential for addressing some of society's most pressing issues, such as climate change, health and poverty.
But how can governments encourage more people to innovation more of the time? And how can government itself be more innovative?
This publication presents the OECD Innovation Strategy, the culmination of a three-year, multidisciplinary and multistakeholder effort. It provides analysis and policy guidance on a broad range of issues from education and training policies, to policies that provide a conducive business environment and infrastructure for innovation, to policies that foster the creation and diffusion of knowledge. It can support government efforts to develop effective innovation strategies and to achieve key economic and social objectives. It advocates an approach which takes into account the interplay of different policy domains and brings them together through supportive mechanisms for governance at the local, regional, national and international levels.

4 now..I had heard 3 to be fair. So he is improving then?
Apologies Mike by the way, not knocking you - I agree that you should hang em up dude for your own health, but the flip side, you have got in there at least, anyone who does that much gets a high five and some credit from me anyway.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Mike is the only person to blame really!! He is old enough to be responsible for his own actions. We are not talking about a child taking risks here this is a 50+ year old man. Passionate about a sport or whatever the reasons may be his actions a both dangerous and mindless.
The fighters can't be held responsible. Yes I think its a bit poor if fighters are taking fights with him for a quick KO on there record or a easy win but thats how some people roll!
The promoters can't be held accountable really either as a multitude of reasons could occur as to why they book fighters like this.
Most professionals train "x" amount of months for specific opponents. When an opponent drops out and a promoter needs a stand in most professionals wont take them on short notice due to lack of prep time for that bout. Mike on the other hand is there happy to take the fight.
There are other so called "professional" fighters who wont fight certain fighters at risk of losing. Again when promoters are faced with this and cant find someone with a similar record to fight them............Mike is on hand!
As fantastic as the sport is there are alot of poorly conducted fighters out there. Not just in the shape of Magic Mike but fighters who want win after win but not to earn them. Fighters who will avoid other fighters cause they know they risk losing. Even highly regarded fighters do this in some cases.
I remember getting a call to find a fighter for a middleweight. Alot of other middleweights refused the fight. All of the same calibre with great records. All these refused and the guy ended up fighting a guy 4 weight classes below him. Not really the middleweight fault but he was the only guy happy to fight him. Someone trains so hard for so long its nice to have someone infront of you to punch i guess lol.
Think that is all, the post went better in my head but i think i covered everything
MESSAGE TO PROMOTERS: Dont book Mike.........use me instead. No risk of death then and I have a poor record so if they are looking for a easy win they should be happy

To be fair promoters should be banned from using a handful of certain fighters, not just Mike.
Mike Persil
Lee Cage / Threlfall / Threllfall / Threlfal / Livesey / Livesy / Livsy
Craig Allen
The above guys are the main ones promoters should steer clear of. If anybody accepts a fight with them, or even worse, asks for them - it's shameful.
I know Nathan Thompson and Dan Welsh have had some stick in the past but those guys can actually fight. Thompson is pretty slick off his back and Dan Welsh has some solid stand up skills - I'd like to see them move to a decent gym (I hear Thompson has), get some good training in with good coaches and training partners and do well.
Anyone from Antonios as well. Except that one dead 'ard one who Alex Minogue fought. Jesus. (He didnt fight Jesus).
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.
This thread was originally about people abusing Persil, but perhaps it could be used to expose those padding their record.
Record Padder #1 - Paul Reed
Before his last 5 fights, Reed had a good record of 16-9, having faced some top fighters like Svensson and Corossani, even actually beating Corossani, who is now in the UFC.
Before his loss to Svensson, Reed had a good well earned record, facing some good guys and winning more than he lost. But the loss to Svensson appeared to change his attitude to the sport somewhat.
After the Svensson fight, Reed, 16-9 at the time fought Jules Willis on the 29th May 2011 at Tear Up 6. Willis was 3-4 at the time and in the midst of a bad losing streak.
Reed won a decision. What was the sense in this fight being booked exactly. Clearly to get Reed back into winning ways.
One record padding match is one thing, but Reed appeared to pick up a taste for such things...
Next for Reed, inexplicably, at Titan Fight Night 4 on September 4th 2011 he fought Craig Allen. He was 17-9, Allen was 1-25 at the time of the fight.
That is very fishy to me and a blatant example of record padding - what other reason could there be for that fight to be made?
After he quickly defeated Allen, Reed then in his next fight on October 15th 2011 fought none other than Danny Welsh at Island Rumble Ballistic. Reed was 18-9 at this point, Welsh was 2-13 at the time.
Unsurprisingly, Paul "Record Padder" Reed won with a submission in the first round, advancing his record to 19-9.
Reed then fought someone half decent in Anzor Azhiev at KSW20 on the 15th September 2012.
He lost a decision to a tough fighter.
Clearly, Reed didn't like facing an evenly matched opponent at this stage in his career and his next fight (and most recent fight to date) was a REMATCH with Craig Allen who had "advanced" his record to 4-33 by this time. The fight happened on 13th October 2012 at KORE MMA.
Reed won in 47 seconds. Shock horror.
So Paul Reed, a fighter who has been in there with UFC level talent in his earlier career, in his last 4 fights has fought Danny Welsh once and Craig Allen twice.
Blatant record padding.

Not quite sure why this has exploded up so much. Mike makes the decision to fight. Promoters & opponents aren't forcing him to get in the cage. The only thing I am concerned about is ultimately his health, beyond that he can have a Triple Threat match against Cain & JDS!!
I think calling the guys he has fought "bullies" is very disrespectful, to Mike & to them. A fight can still go either way, we've all seen fights not go the way we expected. Plus fights fall apart at the last minute, Mike & others taking last minute fights keeps a fight on the card otherwise a training camp would be wasted.
As for record padding, yeah it goes on, its a part of Boxing & MMA because at the end of the day these (and many others) are professional sports & guys are looking to build a solid record to move their career along, be it domestic titles & UFC aspirations. It gives guys at a lower tier who perhaps might never be worlds beaters an opportunity to compete in the sport they love & with all the ways to win in MMA there will be the hope of the upset. Provided these journeymen are being looked after, fighting close to their weight & getting the relevant time off after KO losses.
Plus after a loss or an injury some fighters need to rebuild their confidence. Its all well & good slagging guys off for "record padding" but followiung a devastating loss with an equally tough fight can derail a guys career prospects.

Same error here after updating.
I tested this on a fresh BT5R1 install.
Before the update msfconsole works fine.
After running msfupdate, msfconsole no longer works.

Revert to the previous version of the file.
This is what I did:
svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/ metasploit
cd to metasploit/lib/msf/core/exploit
svn up -r 11300
backup your current snmp.rb file under /opt/framework/msf3/lib/msf/core/exploit
copy the snmp.rb file from your snv copy
Msfconsole starts up fine no errors but not sure if it breaks anything else
same problem. Updated metasploit and got same error
doest work
Found you can start msfconsole by going to he msf3 folder and executing it from there using the commands:
cd /opt/framework/msf3
Anyone confirm it? Or is it just me?
CONFIRMED ABOVE!! This makes me feel so much better.

Bring It On: The Musical
At the high points of the winsome new musical Bring It On, the chorus line goes vertical. Since the 1980s, cheerleading has been moving from the sidelines of athletics to become a competitive quasi-sport, with an emphasis on elaborate synchronized acrobatics. Bring It On now imports that driven pep to Broadway, and in the tradition of the High School Musical series, the show takes place in a teenage world scrubbed of sex, drugs, naughty language and believable plot points. But if Bring It On doesn't offer much depth, it does hit impressive heights. (Young audiences, I suspect, will flip for it.)
Inspired by—but not adapted from—the popular 2000 movie, Bring It On centers on a high-school senior, Campbell (Taylor Louderman), who dreams of national championship glory. After a shaky start, the musical gains speed when Campbell transfers to an ethnically diverse new school, and tries to build a new team with the leader of a hip-hop dance crew (the rich-voiced Adrienne Warren). This cultural divide is mirrored in the score, which melds the neotraditional pop-Broadway approach of Tom Kitt and Amanda Green with the witty, more contemporary rhythms and rhymes of In the Heights charmer Lin-Manuel Miranda. Further diversity comes courtesy of Jeff Whitty's book, which hews to the obligatory central story but often shifts focus to lovable outsiders, including the hefty, overeager Bridget (crowd favorite Ryann Redmond) and a transgender Afrotastic sidekick named La Cienega (Gregory Haney).
For all its laudable messages about individuation, Bring It On has little more heft than a pom-pom, but it doesn't pretend otherwise; it even includes a song that disavows the importance of its characters' high-school dramas. And director-choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler wins the audience over by emphasizing the now and the wow. Building human pyramids takes labor, and when all is sung and done, the athletic young performers stack up well. Give yourself over to the spirit of the show, and you'll leave the theater with cheer in your heart.—Adam Feldman

Wikileaks-Leaker PFC Bradley Manning Ready to Enter Partial Guilty Plea
Jason Mick
November 8, 2012 6:16 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
One of the most controversial military espionage cases is about to take an interesting turn
At a hearing at Fort Meade, Maryland on Wednesday, David Coombs, attorney for U.S. private first class Bradley Manning, announced that his client was willing to enter a partial guilty plea.
I. A Plea -- But to What?
on his blog:
PFC Manning has offered to plead guilty to various offenses through a process known as "pleading by exceptions and substitutions." To clarify, PFC Manning is not pleading guilty to the specifications as charged by the Government. Rather, PFC Manning is attempting to accept responsibility for offenses that are encapsulated within, or are a subset of, the charged offenses. The Court will consider whether this is a permissible plea.
He adds:
[T]he Government does not need to agree to PFC Manning's plea; the Court simply has to determine that the plea is legally permissible.
Bradley Manning has been charged with 22 counts and faces the prospect of court martial and imprisonment. Mr. Manning is accused of leaking videos and tens of thousands of
field logs from Afghanistan and Iraq
. He also is accused of leaking
hundreds of thousands
State Department
cables, some of which were classified.
The leaks were released in scattershot fashion. Most of the information proved relatively uninteresting, although
tried to highlight a handful of cables and logs that it felt were incriminating.

Some news outlets (namely
) have claimed that
militant fundamentalist groups
in Afghanistan used the leaked information in the field to
hunt down and execute U.S. allies
. Of course, such claims are inherently hard to validate, as the militants could easily have just made up the story as an excuse to kill someone they already were targeting.
II. Manning, Assange Face Legal Minefield Ahead
The maximum penalty the charges against PFC Manning could theoretically carry
would be the death penalty
, although prosecutors have indicated they will not seek the death penalty if the case goes to trial.
In interviews,
founder Julian Assange is accused of saying that those who allied themselves with U.S. forces are "traitors" and "
deserve to die
". Mr. Assange calls the quotes attributed to him by David Leigh -- an editor at England's most prestigious newspaper,
-- "lies" and accuses the world media and social networks of
a vast conspiracy
to villainize him.
Sources have claimed that Mr. Assange celebrated the fact that the leaks might cost the lives of U.S. allies.
Mr. Assange is currently holed up at the Ecuadorean London embassy, which is granting him temporary asylum while he fights extradition charges. He's currently under investigation by the
U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) who has sought to extradite him to testify before a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia. It is believed that the DOJ may move to charge him under the U.S. Espionage Act of 1917 (see:
), however such an approach could raise serious free speech concerns.
Instead, Mr. Assange believes that U.S. prosecutors are pushing Mr. Manning to testify against him, directly linking him to the leaks so that he can instead be brought to trial on cybercrimes charges. Regarding PFC Manning, Mr. Assange
"[They're trying] to break him, to force him to testify against WikiLeaks and me."
Mr. Assange claims to expose global wrongdoing, however his site appears to be primarily fixated on embarrassing the U.S., with approximately 95 percent of its leaked documents involving the U.S.
Julian Assange has accused the U.S. government and global media of a grand conspiracy.
[Getty Images/AFP]
does not reveal its funding sources. In a previous brief interview with Julian Assange, I asked him directly whether he could verify that his site is not funded by hostile nation states such as North Korea or Iran. He refused to offer any such promise, instead accusing the media of conspiring to discredit his work and warning me that there "will be consequences" for the questions I was asking.
III. Substitutions are Pretty Standard Fare in U.S. Military Court
Returning to PFC Manning's plea, it's unknown, exactly
PFC Manning plans to substitute in the charges, and which charges he plans to accept (deny). Past comments make it seem unlikely that PFC Manning would agree to implicate Mr. Assange, whom he expressed a fiery admiration for. However, faced with the prospect of hard prison time anything is possible.
Typically substitutions are designed as a way of pleading guilty to a lesser offense. For example
points to
a June ruling by the The
U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals
, in which an airman accused of using cocaine and other narcotics agreed to substitute (plead guilty to) vicodin abuse (a Schedule III drug), but except (deny guilt) of Percocet use (a Schedule II drug). The maneuver reduced his jail time, although the substituted offense still earned him a dishonorable discharge.
Substitutes and exceptions are fairly standard practice in military cases.
[Image Source: Unknown]
Such hybrid pleas are described in the U.S. Military's 2012 Manual for Courts-Martial (
), which says that defendants can plead "not guilty to an offense as charged, but guilty of a named lesser included offense" and "not guilty of the exceptions, but guilty of the substitutions."
David Coombs
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

The Redlands Police Department welcomed a number of new employees, along with two employees who have returned to the department, during a ceremony Nov. 15 at the Redlands Police Annex.
Three new police officers joined the ranks of the department recently and were formally welcomed during the ceremony.
Officer Thomas Williams was hired in April as a reserve police officer. In that position, Williams volunteered more than 200 hours of patrol time while maintaining a full-time job.
In July, Williams was hired as a full-time police officer and is now in the final phase of his six-month field training, which he is expected to complete early this month.
Williams holds an associate degree in criminal justice and hopes to begin working toward his bachelor's degree in business management after completing his training.
In 2009, Officer Paul Davis graduated in the top 6 percent of his class after putting himself through the Riverside Sheriff's Academy.
On March 8, he was sworn in as a reserve officer for the Redlands Police Department, becoming a full-time officer in July.
Born in Redlands, Officer Dave Frisch was a paid-call firefighter for three years in Brookings, Ore., where he received several awards, including Rookie of the Year, and Firefighter of the Year.
In 1999, he returned to Southern California, where he decided to fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer.
He was hired by the San Bernardino Police Department and graduated at the top of his class from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Academy.
Shirley Ogden was hired as a full-time community service officer.
Ogden worked as a parking control and community service officer for the Redlands Police Department from 2008 to 2010 before her position was eliminated as a result of layoffs.
She was rehired this year as a part-time liaison officer to the District Attorney's Office and subpoena clerk. When the full-time position for a community service officer became available, she applied for the position. Ogden has more than 20 years experience as a private investigator specializing in workers' compensation fraud.
Matt Houston was welcomed as a full-time community service officer.
Born and raised in Redlands, Houston completed coursework in law enforcement occupations and fire science as a student at Redlands East Valley High School, where he graduated in 2009.
Following high school, he participated in the Redlands Emergency Services Academy.
In August 2010, Houston was hired as a cadet by the San Bernardino Police Department where he completed rotations in records, traffic and fleet maintenance.
He was promoted to community service officer in February 2011.
He has completed post-secondary coursework in general education at Crafton Hills College.
Angie Lam worked for the Redlands Police Department from 2004 until 2010, when budget cuts forced layoffs in the department.
Since then, she has worked for the Superior Courts of Riverside County and as a legal processing assistant at the Superior Courts of San Bernardino.
Recently she was hired as a part-time customer service representative for the department. She will continue to balance her full-time job and her part-time position with RPD.
Roy Garcia, a Redlands East Valley High School graduate who received his bachelor's degree in technical design from Cal State San Bernardino, where he was involved in theater and film production, was hired as a part-time surveillance camera operator.
Garcia is putting himself through the Sheriff's Academy and considering a career in law enforcement.
Lisa Kuhnle is a part-time kennel attendant at Redlands Animal Shelter.
From 2006 to 2009, Kuhnle was the veterinarian technician for the shelter and also supervised the cattery.
She is now working as the animal rescue coordinator, setting up adoption shows and rescue transportation, and recently drove 25 small dogs to LAX after coordinating their adoption in Canada.
Two part-time research assistants were hired to assist the department's criminologist.
Niki Ables is working toward her master's degree in communicative disorders at the University of Redlands.
She also works as a graduate speech language pathologist and plans to graduate in 2014.

Conservatives In Media Urge Defiance Against Proposed Assault Weapons Ban
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
Since Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) revealed a plan to introduce legislation banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, members of the right-wing media have launched hysterical, and often false, attacks against her proposal to crack down on weapons like the one used in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
Breitbart.com: Sen. Feinstein's "Real Goal Is To Ban Handguns"
In two December 27 pieces published on Brietbart.com, contributor AWR Hawkins grossly exaggerated the scope of Feinstein's legislative proposal to suggest that the assault weapons ban would require that all firearms be registered with the government and claim that "the details of Senator Dianne Feinstein's pending assault weapons ban show that her real goal is to ban handguns."
Sen. Feinstein's actual proposal allows current owners of assault weapons to keep their firearms so long as the owner fulfills a registration requirement and includes no mandate to register firearms that are not assault weapons. While the proposed ban would cover some handguns with military characteristics, Hawkins' claim that the legislation would lead to a general handgun ban is based on the speculation "that as soon as a public crime is committed with a double-action revolver, Feinstein and Co. will try to add those to the list as well."
But an even bigger problem lurks -- right now the focus is only on "assault weapons" and semi-auto handguns, however, as soon as a public crime is committed with a double-action revolver, Feinstein and Co. will try to add those to the list as well.
The bottom line: If we are foolish enough to embrace a ban on any weapon in the coming Congress then we are unwittingly embracing a ban on every weapon.
Hawkins repeated these claims on National Rifle Association News, calling the proposed assault weapons ban "garbage" and "anti-freedom to the core."
Pavlich: Proposed Ban Covers "Nearly Every Semi-Automatic Handgun In The U.S."
On December 28, Townhall news editor Katie Pavlich offered a similar faulty analysis, inaccurately claiming that the proposed ban covers "[n]early every semi-automatic handgun in the United States." The proposal actually calls for restricting handguns that "can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics," but according to Pavlich's logic, "any weapon can be used to assault someone, which is why Feinstein has been able to throw handguns and shotguns into her new assault weapons ban." Pavlich concluded her column by writing, "The wolves are at the door."
Breitbart.com Stokes Fears That "Government Will Use The Military To Forcibly Disarm The Public"
Gateway Pundit blogger Jim Hoft and Breitbart.com columnist Warner Todd Huston both promoted a letter in opposition to Sen. Feinstein's proposal written by retired Marine Corporal Joshua Boston who stated, "I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed" and "I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one."
Huston also interviewed Cpl. Boston, fearmongering about the prospect of the government using the military to confiscate privately held firearms:
WTH [Warner Todd Huston]: Some people fear that government will use the military to forcibly disarm the public if gun banning laws get passed. What is your sense of your fellows in the armed forces. Do you think they'd follow orders to forcibly disarm the public?
American Thinker: Proposed Ban Would "Light Revolutionary Fervor In A Nation And Its Citizens"
Writing for American Thinker on January 2, Alan P. Halbert went a step further, stating that the enactment of Sen. Feinstein's proposal would cause "the end of the Republic" and constitute grounds for insurrection against the federal government:
The Second Amendment's purpose is to provide for the citizens' defense from all who would deny their natural God- given right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" against a criminal, a foreign or domestic enemy, or our own government. We will witness the end of the Republic if this proposed legislation is passed, since all of our rights flow from the citizen's ability to defend them.
As for this citizen, I will never disarm or surrender my Second Amendment rights, much less willingly comply with such a traitorous act of Congress if enacted... it is actions like these that light revolutionary fervor in a nation and its citizens. It did so in 1776 and it will do so again.
The Daily Caller: "We Need Your Guns ... Comrade"
Conservative website The Daily Caller issued a January 2 "alert" on its "Guns and Gear" page that stated, "We need your fingerprints, your photo, your papers and your guns Comrade."
