FHA General Permit 2f: Construction of a Fence
This Flood Hazard Area General Permit allows the applicant to construct a pump and/or water intake structure in or along a regulated water, in order to provide water for livestock outside the channel. This permit helps to maintain water supply for livestock while protecting the channel through limiting livestock access.
At first the applicant shall contact the Local Soil Conservation District and/or United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to get the approval for this activity. Once the applicant receives the approval from one these agencies, the applicant shall apply for this permit if subjected water is determined to be a regulated water as defined at N.J.A.C. 7:13-2.2. Sometimes the Local Soil Conservation District or NRCS necessitates the property owner to implement certain activities related to agricultural use along or across the regulated waterway that might require this general permit.
This page is for informational purposes only. Please see N.J.A.C. 7:13-8.5 for the precise rules concerning this General Permit.
The criteria to qualify for the Flood Hazard Area General Permit No. 2G is listed below:
A verification of the flood hazard area design flood elevation, floodway limits and/or riparian zone limits, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-6, is not required prior to obtaining this general permit.
The regulated agricultural activity that neither qualifies for any of the Permits-By-Rule set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:13-7.2(f) nor for any of the general permits set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:13-8.4 must require a formal Flood Hazard Area Individual Permit.

20 Games Like Aaru's Awakening()
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is the new name for the base Shovel Knight game. It will get all future updates and content for free just like before.
It will launch first on the Switch, during the systems launch window, and on all other platforms in April 2017. All owners of the previous version, across all platforms, will be upgraded to the new version of the game for free.
Rise & Shine
Rise is a small kid of Gamearth, the world where the classic videogame characters live. He finds himself lost in the middle of a war against the Space Grunts, the bald muscular soldiers with big guns that just invaded his world. Only with the help of the legendary gun, Shine, he'll be able to stay alive and just maybe, incredibly, save his planet from the invaders.
The game mixes pure shooting arcade with the use of different bullets to solve all the situations Rise will find on his path. Think of a more arcadey Another World, also with a very tight relationship between gameplay and story.
76 / 10053.8
Earthlock: Festival of Magic

Rich, non-linear story
Turn-based combat (No Active Time Battle)
Combat pairs (Allows more variations to your battle team)
Grow your own ammunition (Organic crafting)
Build and improve your home base
Environmental Puzzles
Gorgeous overworld with a retro feel
No random encounters (Monsters visible at all times)
Play as Male or Female protagonist (You can switch at any time)
Super Mario Odyssey

But the way is littered with sinister traps and difficult obstacles. To master these challenges you need to have keen eyes and a good sense for your environment, or your next step may be your last.
But Teku has a special gift: his left hand is a candle. Let it be a bright beacon to drive off your enemies or to shed light on dark places.
Gorgeous hand-painted watercolor visuals give Candle that special flair, as all backgrounds and characters have been carefully drawn and then scanned, picture after picture. The game consistently feels like a living painting.
Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.

CHICAGO -- One of the world's largest chewing gum companies will take the wraps off Alert Energy gum next month. Each piece of new chewing gum has about half the caffeine content of a cup of coffee: 40 mg., approximately half the amount provided by a small (6 fl.oz.) coffee serving.
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., a subsidiary of Mars, is marketing its new Alert Energy Caffeine Gum as an adult gum, and an "energy solution that gives consumers the power to control how much caffeine they get," the company explained.
Alert Energy will be sold in packages of eight fruit- or mint-flavored pieces, retailing for about $2.99. The company said it will sell the gum in select markets, starting in April.
Wrigley says the product is not recommended for children or people sensitive to caffeine.

In the Classroom: Technology Meets Strategy
While the functional disciplines of accounting, finance, organizational behavior and new product development all play a critical role in the success of a company, strategy is key, says Glenn Hoetker, associate professor of Business Administration. Hoetker teaches a new course with the Masters of Science in Technology Management Program (MS Tech) called Technology Strategy, which just concluded over summer 2007 semester. To his students, he offers this definition of strategy:
The art and science of combining a firm's structure, resources and capabilities, and strategic positioning to gain a sustainable competitive advantage given the environment in which the firm operates.
Strategy asks how a firm uses its functional activities to develop and sustain competitive advantage, and takes on particular importance in the presence of technology change, said Hoetker. "Looking at the definition above, it becomes clear that technology affects almost every aspect of a firm's successful strategy. It changes the nature of advantage, competition, the firm's environment and the sustainability of advantage. It changes the resources the firm has at its disposal, the definition of the firm's position and the structure of the firm."
One of Hoetker's favorite case studies he shares with students is Wal-Mart, which shows how a non-technical company is able to use technology to reshape itself and its competitive landscape to its advantage.
"Wal-Mart is a company you don't necessarily think of as a high technology company, but that has really developed technology to its competitive advantage and thus extends its overall corporate strategy," said Hoetker.
"The company has a very cohesive strategy and an IT system that masterminds everything. Wal-Mart's scanners at the front counters are directly linked to its supplier and instruct what inventory or products and brands to send, how much, and where to ship. This in turn has helped increase its customer base, and has helped Wal-Mart on Wall Street."
Hoetker emphasizes to his students that technology matters tremendously in every aspect of business, and that they need to be prepared to understand how technology affects a firm's way of doing business, even if they end up on Wall Street.
"If you're working in a non-technology sector, as an analyst for example, and you're following Target, you may ask yourself 'Are Target's investments in IT are going to have the same affect on performance as Wal-Mart's?'" This has little to do with technology itself, and more to do with Target's overall corporate strategy, and whether that technology generates value in the context of that strategy."
Hoetker brings a background of corporate experience and shares firsthand case studies with his students. In previous positions, he has helped U.S aerospace researchers gain access to leading-edge technology throughout the world as an international policy analyst, and performed research on Japanese technology and commerce for a number of Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. Government.
Most students have at least some professional experience in dealing with strategy before taking the class, and it allows for some animated class discussions centered around what has and hasn't worked for them.
When it comes to forming corporate alliances as part of a company's strategy, technology alliances are among the most tricky and there are more balls you have to keep in the air, said Hoetker.
"Technology alliances are usually centered on knowledge in some form or another, and are a much harder beast to manage than an alliance involving a brand name, equipment or materials." He explains: "It's typically easier to write a contract using a brand name, for example, as these are fairly straight forward. With technology, it's harder to specify the desired outcomes of the alliance and how the parties will get there. The firms have to share enough knowledge to make the alliance succeed, without giving away their technological 'crown jewels'."
"The challenge is that contracts are not very good at managing this sort of knowledge exchange," added Hoetker. "Most successful technology alliances combine contracts with activities to strengthen the relationship. It helps if you have taskforces and exchange personnel between the firms, helping to build communication and trust."
Hoetker said one goal of the class is to allow students to put whatever work they are doing into the context of a company's overall strategy.
"I hope what I teach will allow them to see how their work connects to their firm's overall strategy. That multiplies the benefits of the functional training we've given them and prepares them to move up the corporate hierarchy."

If you have another machine you can boot BT4 with, then you can do a network install over PXE.
Well, I'm dowloading the ISO right now, but, I heard it's a DVD image.
Sadly, my laptop is too old to feature a DVD drive, and does not support USB booting through the BIOS.
So my question is: how can I boot BT4? Can anyone help me setup a network boot, or trick the laptop into booting from USB. Those boot methods are both new to me
Thanks in advance guys.
If you have another machine you can boot BT4 with, then you can do a network install over PXE.
I can set up a virtual machine (boot the VMWare image you kindly supplied), would that do it?
I've never used PXE before, do I just start a program in BT4, and then boot the laptop with PXE?
Thanks for the help
EDIT: I went ahead and powered on the VM, started networking, and then booted my laptop. PXE says it's received no DHCP or boot offers.
Where's the obvious error I'm making? My network is running a standard DHCP server (router)
EDIT2: Mister_X in the IRC pointed me here: http://backtrack4.blogspot.com/2009/...r-network.html
I'll check it out
EDIT3: for the reference, pxelinux.cfg is not in the VMWare image, using the liveDVD instead
(Figure this might be good information for the next person to start messing with PXE boots)
EDIT4: Got it up and running, thanks to Muts and Mister_X.
You can try PLoP, it can force USB/CD boot on machines who's bios does not support it. It can be installed on on a diskette or CD to help you boot from USB.
I dont suppose thunderwing you managed to get plop working?
I had a similar problem with and old Acer with a deffective DVD reader and no USB Boot Support, problem solved with PLOP (as thunderwing sayd)
In case you guys didn't read my whole post, I got it fixed, I just left the info for others who may experience the same problem

As a teen growing up in Manaus, Brazil, Jose Aldo was no different than most kids his age.
His father enrolled him in soccer schools. He was good enough to play in a semi-professional league. He was also tough enough to impose a physical style of play on his opponents.
But then came that toughest lesson in life.
"In reality, things were becoming different from my dreams. ... At 14, I got disappointed. I realized the reality wasn't what I was expecting," Aldo said.
However, a new ambition was born.
"Then I decided to train Jiu Jitsu and start fighting. Then I changed my dream. And my life as a fighter started," he said.
That life continues in ways Aldo never imagined.
Aldo, still engaging and smiling after a 20-hour flight from his home country, sat before a row of reporters Tuesday at Morton's The Steakhouse in Burbank.
With translator Leo Walendowsky by his side, Aldo detailed how he became one of the world's top pound-for-pound fighters who will headline UFC 156 in Las Vegas.
Tickets go on sale Friday as Aldo will defend his UFC featherweight title against former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar on Feb. 2 at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
He's come a long way from the disenchanted 14-year-old who became a 17-year-old fighting professionally to help his struggling family.
"Those days we were living at the gym. We didn't have resources," recalled Aldo, 26.
When times are tough, training on an empty stomach makes it even worse. Which is why getting paid to fight wasn't just a golden opportunity for Aldo.
It might have been the only opportunity.
"That's when I joined MMA's world. It was mostly necessity," he said.
The 145-pounder now rules a part of MMA's world. He hasn't lost a fight in seven years. He became the WEC champion three years ago with a knockout of Mike Brown.
After two title defenses, Aldo's life became even sweeter when the UFC, which owned the WEC, absorbed the organization in January 2011 and made Aldo its first featherweight champion.
And Aldo (21-1) remains its only featherweight champion.
He has defended the belt with five-round decisions over Mark Hominick and Kenny Florian, followed by a devastating first-round knockout of Chad Mendes with a perfectly timed knee in front of his raucous countrymen at UFC Rio in January.
"I would never have imagined I would reach this level. I would have dreams ... but the proportion that the thing became was beyond my mind," Aldo said.
Aldo was supposed to fight in Rio again in October. Once Erik Koch withdrew with an injury, Edgar (14-3-1) stepped in. But the rash of injuries that plagued the UFC 153 card in Brazil - and caused a major headache for UFC president Dana White - hit Aldo as well.
While riding his motorcycle Sept.1, Aldo was struck by a car that turned into him. Aldo was fortunately wearing a helmet, but suffered injuries to his leg and foot.
"When I realized that I didn't break any bones, I was still convinced that I would be able to fight. And since it was only bruises in my right leg, I thought in a couple, three weeks I would be able to fight," he said. "And I kept training regardless, up to the point the pain was so strong I couldn't even touch the ground to my foot."
Aldo said X-rays revealed a small crack in his foot, forcing him off the hometown card and sidelining him for three weeks.
Now fully healthy, Aldo is eager to face Edgar, who will drop 10 pounds to fight for Aldo's title after losing his lightweight belt to Benson Henderson as well as the rematch - both by close, grueling five-round decisions.
"I see it as a challenge," Aldo said. "Frankie already proved he is a true pro, he will battle all five rounds. He doesn't give up. But it's the fight I wanted."
Not one to rest on his laurels, Aldo will continue to train three times a day, six days a week. He has a new family to support - his wife and 3-month-old daughter - but insists his motorcycle days are over.
"I'm waiting for Dana's check to buy my car," Aldo said with a grin. "I've already picked the car."
Hey, one can always dream.

Facing a Tuesday deadline to come up with a deal, Los Angeles Unified and its teachers union announced Friday that they'd hammered out a tentative agreement to begin using student test data in evaluating the district's educators.
It took more than five months and the intervention of a mediator to craft an evaluation that factors in standardized test scores, as well as Academic Growth Over Time, a controversial mathematical formula used to measure student progress.
The main element of the evaluation will be "robust classroom observation," officials said, with district assessments, attendance rates, class grades and eight other factors used to help gauge success and identify areas for improvement.
The district will determine how much weight will be given to each element, although both sides agreed that test data will account for less than half of the evaluation.
Superintendent John Deasy called the agreement, reached late Thursday after "dozens and dozens" of negotiating sessions, "a very appropriate balance of individual and collective measures."
"This is a historic agreement - the first of its kind," he said. "This will help improve the practices of teaching and hold us accountable in meeting the standards of the teaching profession."
The deal must still be approved by the school board and ratified by United Teachers Los Angeles.
UTLA President Warren Fletcher said the union's 40,000 members will vote on the seven-page deal in early January.
He acknowledged that some members may have "principled differences" with the inclusion of student test data, but he said the ultimate goal is to provide the best education possible for LAUSD students.
"We wanted an evaluation that makes sense for the classroom and will help teachers improve, and this agreement hits a good spot on that," he said. "It uses test data in a smart way to get teachers useful information to improve instruction."
The inclusion of AGT was a major sticking point in the negotiations.
Deasy had pushed hard for teachers to be rated using the academic progress of students in their classroom. Union leaders said that individual AGT was too volatile, and that schoolwide averages would be more fair.
Both sides compromised in the end.
The pact says individual AGT scores can be used to "give perspective" in reviewing a teacher's past performance. School-level AGT, along with standardized test scores from individual classrooms, can be included in the final review.
Because of the increased complexity of the evaluations, the two sides agreed to extend the time between reviews for teachers with more than 10 years of experience. Veteran teachers who now are evaluated every two years may not be reviewed for three to five years.
The agreement was reached just days ahead of Tuesday's deadline to present a new evaluation system to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant, who is presiding over a lawsuit filed last year by seven anonymous LAUSD families.
Sponsored by EdVoice, a Sacramento-based education reform group, the suit claimed LAUSD was violating the Stull Act, which mandates that test scores be used to appraise teachers.
EdVoice CEO Bill Lucia said he was cautiously optimistic that Chalfant will determine that the new pact complies with the 1999 state law.
"Following the law is the right thing for kids, and the outcome is credible, useful, meaningful feedback," he said.
Lucia expressed disappointment that the two sides were unable to come up with a deal in time to apply for $40 million in federal money. The Race to the Top grant required a data-based evaluation system, as well as the union's endorsement, which it failed to give in time for the recent deadline.
Ana Nyamekye, who heads the Los Angeles chapter of Educators 4 Excellence, said the deal is an important step forward although there are concerns about the timing of the evaluations and how teachers will be rated.
"We need to be able to identify those who are excelling and those who need intensive support," she said.
The reform group also wants to ensure there is a fair system for teachers at the district's various campuses - traditional schools, small learning communities, charters and magnets.
"We have questions about how choice and flexibility will be accompanied by accountability and uniformly high expectations," Nyamekye said.
School board member Steve Zimmer, a former teacher and a vocal opponent of using high-stakes test scores in teacher evaluations, said he will be lobbying school board and union members to support the deal.
"We had to do everything we could to negotiate an agreement that could be embraced by the rank-and-file, and I think this holds the best possible chance for this to happen," he said.
"Teaching is a team sport, and this agreement allows teachers to learn and collaborate with their colleagues instead of competing against their colleagues," he said. "But it all comes down to student achievement. That's at the front and center of this deal."

Skiing is a recreational activity and competitive sport in which the participant attaches skis to boots or shoes on the feet and uses them to travel on top of snow. Within the Olympics, there are many events for all forms of skiing.
- Main article: Alpine skiing
Also called downhill skiing, alpine skiing typically takes place at a ski resort or dry slope. It originated in the European Alps, and is characterized by fixed-heel bindings that attach at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boot. Alpine skiing is popular wherever the combination of snow, mountain slopes, and a sufficient tourist infrastructure can be built up, including parts of Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, the South American Andes, and East Asia.
In competitive alpine skiing races four disciplines exist: slalom, giant slalom, super giant slalom, and downhill. Slalom ski races have courses that require short tight turns, whereas giant-slalom races have courses which are set with more widely spaced turns. Super-giant slalom and downhill have few turns, the courses have gates spaced widely apart and skiers often reach 100 km/h.
- Main article: Freestyle skiing
Freestyle skiing is a form of skiing which originally encompassed three disciplines: aerials, moguls, and ski ballet. Today, freestyle skiing consists of aerial, moguls, skicross, boardercross, Ski half-pipe, Snowboard half-pipe and Slopestyle and have become part of the Olympics. Currently there are two main branches of freestyle skiing: one encompassing the more traditional events of moguls and aerials, and a newer branch often called new school, comprising events such as halfpipe, big air, slopestyle, and big mountain or free-skiing. Freeskiing shares characteristics with street skateboarding, BMX, and inline skating.
Cross CountryEdit
- Main article: Cross country skiing
Cross-country skiing (or XC skiing) is a form of ski touring in which participants propel themselves across snow-covered terrain using skis and poles. The activity is popular in many places with large snowfields, primarily Northern Europe, Canada, and Alaska. Cross-country skiing is the modern style of skiing that most resembles prehistoric skiing, particularly when done in the backcountry.
As a sport, cross-country skiing is one of the most difficult endurance sports, as its motions use every major muscle group and it (along with running, rowing and swimming) is one of the sports that burn the most calories per hour in execution.

First after that ridiculous world-wide journey.
First game of the renovation. First game for Ryan Callahan as Captain. First home games at MSG for Brad Richards and Tim Erixon, and Mike Rupp (assuming he plays) and maybe Jeff Woywitka (if he plays, but I doubt it).
Michael Sauer is expected to return from his shoulder injury.
Introductions will incorporate a stick salute by the NYPD and FDNY hockey teams. During the course of the game there will be a video tribute to Derek Boogaard, Alexander Karpovtsev and Karel Rachunek, former Rangers who passed away tragically this summer.
Remember, the Rangers' entrance onto the ice is no longer at the red line. It is to the left of the home bench (if you're facing the ice; right if you're facing the bench).
As unsightly as it's been, ya boys have won three of four and they take on a Maple Leaves team on a surprisingly good start (5-2-1), including Phil Kessel, who leads the NHL in scoring (9-6-15).

Tom Petty drops hints about a tour
Listen to Tom Petty on iHeartRadio
Looks like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are making plans to hit the road. And their trek will likely include a show at Boston's Fenway Park.
Petty has dropped a couple of hints via Twitter. A post Monday featured a photo of Fenway's scoreboard with the band's name on it, along with the message, "Coming soon..."
Coming soon... pic.twitter.com/uYobKnr0Aq

It followed a tweet Sunday that included a map of the U.S., again with the message "Coming soon."

The trek will likely coincide with the band's new album. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are expected to release Hypnotic Eye this summer. The disc will be the group's first studio effort since 2010's Mojo. Petty has said the band will tour in support of the disc.

I figured as much . Would be nice though to get some communication on this topic from IT.

We needed to block the links to limit any potential risks before sending out a notifications. You should have received a warning from Dr. Berry, and then two additional emails from IT. We sincerely appreciate the help from the community in getting the word out.
The timing of this phishing email was inconvenient, and it made it appear legitimate. We will make an effort to alert the community in a more timely fashion in the future. I'm trying to make more use of the HUB to convey messages, and that should help.

is that an active url? you may want to change that so no one clicks on it

Fixed. I had initially pasted it as "text only" but for some reason the link was included as well.
You may be receiving the following email in your inbox:

While this may seem like a useful message in light of the current e-mail problems, this is clearly a pfishing attack, and may result in the infection of your machine and your credentials being compromised.

Written by Arturo R. García; Originally published at Racialicious
Basketball fans are well-acquainted with stories about a local star who never got to show their skills outside the neighborhood courts.
And make no mistake, Tayshana Murphy was on her way to bigger things. As Grantland's Jonathan Abrams wrote:
Mention a court in New York City — West 4th, Rucker, Orchard Beach — they don't just know of Tayshana "Chicken" Murphy. They know her. She possessed that killer crossover and played "man strong," as Taylonn, her father, likes to say. Tayshana loved contact. "Babies," she called the girls who helplessly bounced off of her when she drove to the rim. She played taller than her 5-foot-7 and with a fierceness that contrasted against her gentle, hazel eyes.
Those eyes sized up Shannon Bobbitt of the WNBA's Indiana Fever this summer.
Bobbitt conducts a clinic every year outside the Harlem projects where she grew up. The clinic is a way for children to see the footsteps she laid for them to follow. Bobbitt had heard of Tayshana and that she could ball. She probably had no idea that the high schooler was itching to test her skills against the professional.
"She's fast as hell, Pops," Tayshana told her father of Bobbitt. "But she's so little. She can't handle me. I'm too big for her."
Murphy's story came to a premature and violent end on Sept. 11, when she was shot and killed in the Grant Houses project where she lived. Initial reports said the shooting was a case of mistaken identity stemming from a feud between residents of the Grant Houses and the nearby Manhattanville Houses – a story her family refuted.
Three men have been arrested and charged in connection with Murphy's murder: Tyshawn Brockington and Robert Cartagena, who allegedly shot her, and Terique Collins, accused of delivering the murder weapon. But since her death, details have emerged adding more layers to the tragedy.
Less than a month after Murphy was killed, WABC-TV reported that homophobic graphitti had been written and drawn on the wall near the stairwell where it happened. Yet, as Mecca Jamilah Sullivan observed in The Feminist Wire, Murphy's sexuality and how that may have factored into her death was not being talked about:
The D.A.'s indictment press release doesn't mention the homophobic comments or the possibility that anti-gay hate played a role in the crime. Even the New York Times article on the Grant-Manhattanville feud, which quotes another 18-year-old woman as Murphy's "girlfriend" leaves the issue of homophobic hate silent, focusing instead on Murphy's foreshortened basketball career. One exuberantly homophobic blog even goes so far as to say that the love of basketball turned Murphy gay. The message of all these sources is clear: Murphy wasn't really a black lesbian; she was an athlete. And her loss should be mourned accordingly.
According to Bridgette P. LaVictoire at LezGetIt, the hate speech on the wall opens up another possibility.
"Even if Tayshana was not lesbian," LaVictoire wrote after the graphitti was found, "there is always the possibility that she was murdered for just appearing to be lesbian, and because of a view of women that puts such an athletic woman into danger because of a patriarchal view that women should be far more submissive an far less athletic."
It's important to note that Murphy's family hasn't commented on her sexuality. But Sullivan's point stands: coverage of the case has not mentioned whether authorities intend to prosecute her murder as a hate crime. (All three defendants have pled not guilty.) And stories reflecting on her life, whether at her wake or at an event named after her, have kept the focus primarily on the court.
Though the family's right to privacy is unimpeachable, it may have opened the door for another, more problematic narrative to emerge: the New York Post reported this week that Murphy was part of a female gang, pointing to it as an example of "good girls recruited by neighborhood gangs into lives of violence, where carrying weapons and committing crimes is as commonplace as shooting a free throw." There's no source mentioned other than some mysterious "cops," and the bulk of the article focuses on a whole other case.
But the story is already getting posted verbatim on other sites. If it gets enough momentum, it's not hard to imagine that in a trial it could be used as a way to paint Murphy as an Angry Lesbian Gangbanger – to define her life by hate, and put her sexuality, however she defined it, on trial as much as the men accused of killing her.

Deluxe reissues of Led Zeppelin catalog on the way
Listen to Led Zeppelin on iHeartRadio
The Led Zeppelin reissue project hasn't been abandoned.
Guitarist Jimmy Page first revealed plans to put together deluxe editions of all the band's albums in November 2012. And Page announced in a recent website post that the reissues would be arriving this year.
While Page's post was quickly removed, Rhino Records is confirming the plans -- even though the label isn't handling the project. A Rhino rep tells RollingStone.com the albums will be reissued through Swan Song/Atlantic, the label that released the original albums back in the 1960s and '70s. Zeppelin recently worked with Rhino to release their concert CD and DVD "Celebration Day."
The reissues are apparently being rolled out chronologically, with the band's self-titled debut, Led Zeppelin 2, and Led Zeppelin 3 reportedly on the way. Specific release dates haven't been announced yet.
In discussing the project 15 months ago, Page told "Rolling Stone" the deluxe sets would contain "really substantial stuff," including "different versions of things" and "different approaches to the mixes."

'You can see a lot of teams that you think should be scoring, aren't scoring. There are teams that I wouldn't think would score a lot that are scoring some goals, but there are a lot of good teams having a tough time putting consistent numbers up. The numbers are down. That speaks for itself. Goal scoring is around five right now, which is down again from last year. If you're going to blame it anywhere you can blame it on coaches and goaltending [which] is very good in this league.'

Experienced Hire
People at every stage of their careers will find opportunities in Goldman Sachs Operations. We take great pride in the professional quality of the advice and execution we provide our clients.
Text Size
We are constantly seeking creative, innovative, team-oriented colleagues who share our uncompromising determination to achieve excellence. We seek out the best professionals who are able to bring intensity and integrity, intellectual curiosity and leadership potential to our team.
We actively recruit at all experienced hire levels and have a defined Operations Career Path to provide clarity around career development and advancement opportunities. The Career Path is a piece of the overall Operations Career Framework, which is the foundation for evolving our people development strategies.
The Career Path begins at the analyst level. Beyond the analyst level, our professionals take on increased responsibilities and concentrate on specialist or management roles.
Ultimately, Operations professionals can progress to some of the most senior levels in the firm and play a vital and influential role in steering the direction of the firm, and the way its services are delivered around the world.
Specialist Roles
Technical Specialists are subject matter experts on a function and/or systems within a team. They participate in projects to design new systems or systems changes, improve current work processes, increase controls and reduce costs.
Advanced Specialists serve as point people on a function and/or systems within a team and assist with more complex, non-standard exception-based processing or queries. Advanced technical specialists also lead and participate in high-level projects to design new systems or systems changes within the department.
Manager Roles
Team Leaders coordinate a team's work assignments and balance the workload, providing day-to-day work support and assistance while still serving as hands-on contributors.
Team Managers direct the staff and resources for one or more units, functions, or processes within Operations and ensure that processes are continually reviewed and improved and that risk is managed effectively.
Senior Leaders
Department Managers direct multiple Operations processes, teams and functions, possibly across multiple geographies. The focus of the role is to effectively integrate these functions and teams, ensuring they work together to effectively advance the strategic goals of the firm and Operations.
Senior Specialists manage large projects or processes where the Firm's reputation, client risk and P&L risks are significant concerns and may manage or sponsor a number of such projects simultaneously. Senior specialists may represent the firm in industry committees or other external bodies as well as managing key vendor or third party relationships.
Group Managers are members of Operations senior leadership and direct multiple departments, typically across multiple geographies. Group Managers ensure that the diverse departments and functions within Operations are strategically integrated and appropriately reflect the long-term goals of the firm and the division, typically looking out five or more years into the future.

For our final Guest Blog in our 'Meet the Presenter' series, we have a piece by genealogy Jedi Thomas MacEntee. Here's what he has to say:
Welcome to the Fall 2012 Virtual Genealogy Conference at Family Tree University. Once again, I'm pleased to be a part of this unique, on-line event that provides important educational content to the genealogy community.
What's So Great about a Virtual Genealogy Conference?
A virtual genealogy conference is just like a conference you attend in-person but with more flexibility and just as many opportunities to network with other genealogy researchers. At the Fall Virtual Genealogy Conference you'll find pre-recorded webinars (a total of 15!), scheduled chats where you can ask the experts various questions, a message board and even a virtual gift bag filled with genealogy goodies!
The upcoming conference is a great alternative for busy genealogists as well as those that can't travel long distances to attend genealogy conferences.
Why Technology Should Matter To Genealogists
I'm of an age where I remember the introduction of the personal computer and its impact on not just genealogy, but life in general. I don't consider myself a "techie" especially since my academic background is more in the arts, language and literature. However, I've come to realize that if I don't keep on top of technology that I risk being left behind. So even though it can be similar to "homework" in school, I make it a point to stay informed and to try out different apps, websites and other technologies. I may not incorporate them as part of my genealogy research, but knowing is better than not knowing.
That's why I try to ensure that several of my presentations focus on how genealogists can use specific technologies to advance their own research. My goal is to present these new sites and apps in an easy-to-learn atmosphere where you'll feel comfortable asking questions and making your own decisions as to what technology is best for your own situation.
My Presentations and Chats
During the conference I'll be offering three new presentations covering tips for working with search engines, how to get what you want from the FamilySearch website, and easy ways to use a research log for your genealogy. In addition, there will be a live, on-line chat session covering cloud computing and genealogy where you'll get to "pick my brain" on various programs and which program is best for you.
Stay In Touch
For me, the best part of any conference is making new genealogy friends and staying in touch with them. Sometimes we meet up again in person, or we stay in touch on-line. Either way, it always helps to network with other genealogists. Feel free to keep tabs on what I'm up to by following my websites GeneaBloggers and High-Definition Genealogy , or email me at email@example.com.

Gena Philibert-Ortega is a genealogist, author and contributor to Family Tree Magazine. Her primary passions are history and food, which she'll blend together like cake batter at this weekend's Fall Virtual Conference. In this guest post, the author of From the Family Kitchen talks in detail about her VC sessions:
Social history and genealogy go hand in hand. As family history researchers we tend to focus solely on the dates and places of our ancestor's life. That's important, but it's one thing to know the dates and places and another to fully understand what was going on during that historical time period. Social history is the story of people's everyday lives. Social history places your ancestors in context. It will even help make your research more interesting to the non-genealogists in your family. The session itself is called "Top 10 Tools For Social History", in which we'll talk about resources you can use for any research project. These will include images, online catalogs and collections.
My second presentation, "Cook up Answers About Immigrant Ancestors", is a chance to see social history in action. What does food have to do with your ancestor? Everything! Food is so integral to everything we do in our families. It's part of celebrations, holidays and even somber events. Food and food history resources can help us learn far more about our ancestors. I can't wait to tell you about all the available resources, such as community cookbooks.
Please join me at the Virtual Conference. What a great way to spend a weekend. Talking genealogy from the comfort of your own home!

Lisa Louise Cooke is both an author and podcaster extraordinaire. She produces the Genealogy Gems podcast, as well as the official podcast of Family Tree Magazine. In this guest post, she writes an open letter to those considering coming to her sessions for Family Tree University's Fall Virtual Conference:
In the real estate world they say it's all about Location, Location, Location! And the same holds true in the Genealogy world. Location is a key element in understanding the context of our ancestor's lives and obtaining coveted genealogical documents. What better way to zero in on a location than with maps? My class Best Websites for Finding Historical Maps delivers the goods in a big way!
If you have ever listened to my show The Genealogy Gems Podcast at http://www.genealogygems.com then you know that maps, and working with them in programs like Google Earth, is one of my specialties. Historical maps offer an exciting way to do your own genealogical time travel. Please join me in a map-packed half hour that will provide you the best resources for obtaining FREE downloadable historical maps that will take you back to the time, and place, of your ancestors. See you in class!

Congratulations to all the ISFHWE competition winners—you

Diana Crisman Smith has been researching genealogy since childhood and has served as a lay librarian at the local Family History Center for more than 20 years. She has written for numerous genealogical publications, including current regular columns in the National Genealogical Society's NewsMagazine and the Association of Professional Genealogists' APG Quarterly. In this guest post, she talks about the two sessions she is presenting at Family Tree University's Fall Virtual Conference: "Smarter Online Census Searching" and "Finding Land Records Online".
I'm Diana Crisman Smith, and I've been researching my family since I was eleven years old. I have been helping others with their research for more than twenty years through writing, speaking, teaching and volunteering at the Family History Center. I have roots throughout the US and Europe, but US research is the starting place for all my family branches. Two of the most useful tools I use in US genealogical research are land records and census records.
Now that so many of the US censuses are available in online images or indexed online, researchers have a wonderful opportunity to use these important records. We all know that they are not perfect, since we can't always find what we want easily. Join me to learn some tips to make the best use of these records by searching smarter.
I also love "playing in the dirt" with land records. If your ancestors were farmers, they are critical for you; if they were city folk, they still may have land purchases (they bought houses just like we do, which means land records). For those who were in the "Western states" (essentially west of the original colonies, plus a few special states), the Bureau of Land Management website is one of the most useful, but little-known, resources of the Federal Government. Come learn to use some of the great information available through this source.

I have a very oddball sense of humor... that being said... I feel like a dumb-ass explaining this to everyone.
I guess the explanation in my mind went something like this...
Aliens!! - According to some people aliens are to blame for everything weird that happens.
Janet Jackson!!- Janet Jackson exposed her boobs in a super bowl halftime show...she didn't want to go down as the the biggest f-up in super bowl history... so she made sure of the fact.
Hackerz!!- See aliens... should have actually labeled it as "crackerz".
Who ever did it!! (i.e. Darth Vader)- Owned!!!--- self explanatory.
In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that someone, somewhere is having fun with a computer on company time. Networks help alleviate that fear.
-John C. Dvorak
Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Now I'm a brother as sure as Luke is a virgin but there aren't many rolemodels for us dark skinned brothers in MMA.
And that's about it really.
I want Josh Barnett to become black so he can give us nigguz a good rep in the cage/ring.
Kinda like how Michael Jackson gives you white people a bad name.
Is there any place for black people in the sport? Or is MMA a white thing like swimming and worlds strongest man?

Jimmy Haslam reveals proposed stadium improvements
(Cleveland) - The Browns have released details about their plan to renovate FirstEnergy Stadium.
At a meeting with season ticket holders and the media, team owner Jimmy Haslam said that when he took over the Browns he promised to improve the team and the fan experience.
With FirstEnergy Stadium now 15 years old, Haslam said it is time for an upgrade.
The $120 million dollar proposal includes adding two new giant scoreboard displays, that are 3 times larger than the current structures.
Several thousand seats will have to removed, but some would be relocated to the lower level. Concession areas and suites would be upgraded, and two new escalators are to added to improve fan access.
Browns CEO Joe Banner
The improvements will take about 2 years to complete with work beginning in January. Brown CEO Joe Banner said the City of Cleveland will be asked to assist with funding.
However, he declined to explain neither how much the city will be asked to contribute, nor how much the Browns will pay, but Banner claimed the team's contribution will be significant.
The Browns will meet with the Mayor Frank Jackson, the city planning commission, and the Design Review Advisory Committee.

Let's Look It Up
October 4, 2013 - Jane Whitmore
From childhood, we were taught "the dictionary is your best friend." This week, Marsha Duhn returned to Emmetsburg with a gem of a dictionary.
New Dictionary of the English Language, 1925 Edition, with a soft brown leather cover and a few loose pages that show a lot of use. It came from Marsha's parents' home.
Start at the beginning with the Publishers' Preface.
"The publishers invite attention to some of the noteworthy features of this dictionary:
"The Vocabulary, carefully chosen, is not only more comprehensive than that of any other dictionary of equal size, but it is also more modern. It is thoroughly up-to-date, and meets all the wants of the general reader of the present day. Here and only here are collected and defined hundreds of the new technical terms, new war words, and old military expressions revived by the Great War - terms that are now becoming a permanent part of our language."
Looking through the back sections of the dictionary, we found: a Glossary of Radio Terms; Foreign Words, Phrases, Maxims and Quotations frequently occurring in Literature and Conversations with their English Equivalents (from a bas -- French for down with, as in a bas le traitre, down with the traitor; to zeitung -- German for newspaper); A Dictionary of Commercial and Legal Terms; a Glossary of Aviation Terms (including helicopter:?an aerial vehicle sustained and propelled by the action of the screws, propeller or rotating planes and without supporting planes; a form advocated by many scientists but not yet perfected mechanically);
Glossary of Automobile Terms (including generator (1) a device for producing acetylene gas; (2) an electrical dynamo); Glossary of Base Ball Terms (including jarring the pitcher: batting the ball freely); Glossary of Golf Terms (including forecaddie: a person employed to go ahead of the players to watch where their balls go); Christian Names of Men and Women; A Glossary of Contractions and Abbreviations; Legal and Other Holidays in the Various States; Time Difference between the city of New York and the principal foreign cities; The Wealth of the World; Electoral Vote of the states as based upon the Reapportionment Act of 1911;
Armies of the World; Navies of the Five Great Naval Powers, including ships, building and projected Sept. 1, 1922 and ships retained Sept. 1, excluding those to be scrapped under treaty, ships over 12 years of age not included, and ships to be scrapped by treaty; The American (Voluntary)?System of Military Service, as it prevailed till the beginning of 1917; American System of Military Service, under the selective draft law approved May 18, 1917; Declarations of War, 1914-1918; Armistices and Treaties of Peace; American Casualties in the World War; The Army of the United States; The Swiss System of Military Service; German Military System (pre-war);
Panama Canal Statistics, including how the canal has shortened ocean voyages; Society of Automobile Engineers' Standard Automobile Nomenclature, noting: "For several years there has been an insistent demand for standardization of names of car parts." At the end of this section are drawings of types of motor car bodies;
The names of the States and Their Meaning:?Iowa -- American Indian for "Beautiful Land"; The Nicknames of the States and the Reason:?Iowa -- "The Hawkeye State," so named from an Indian Chief, Black Hawk, who figured in its early history; Nicknames of Famous Personages; The Decisive Battles of the World and Their Results; The Metric System of Weights and Measures; Value of Foreign Coins in United States Money; Facts About the Earth;
Wedding Anniversaries; Language of the Flowers; Language of Gems; Birth Stones; Birth Days; Presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Calvin Coolidge, a Republican who was inaugurated in 1923 at age 51; and Famous Characters in Poetry and Prose. Sprinkled throughout the dictionary are colored pages, printed on one side, depicting European War Medals and American War Medals; Flags of America; Agates, Birds, Butterflies, Fish, Fruit, Gems, Minerals, Shells and Wood; black and white photos, 16 pages in one section and 14 pages in another section.
All that and still that does not include the definition of words. It's interesting that there are only three pages of Z words. What's more fun than to "look it up"??Let's Google a word in the Urban Dictionary.
A dictionary deserves a special place in your home. I prefer a book that I can hold in my hand and look up words. Often that sends me to a related word and by the time I'm finished there are half a dozen book marks in the dictionary.
