I'm frustrated. As readers of this column know, I've been on a tear of late, trying to break down my Hendrickson brick wall. A recent trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City yielded a few clues from journal articles (in publications such as Kentucky Ancestors and Kentucky Genealogist) as well as mentions of my family in various land records—one of which seemed to indicate a Revolutionary War-related land grant. However, I couldn't trace the family back any further. What to do?
First, I dug out a copy of The Family Tree Resource Book for Genealogists (published by the Family Tree Magazine folks) and checked out the Kentucky records chapter. I learned that many early county records, as well as militia records from 1786, are at the Filson Library and the Kentucky State Archives. Okay—two places to check out by snail mail.


text: URMC / Psychiatry Psychiatry Eric D. Caine, MD, Chairman Department of Psychiatry The Department of Psychiatry is in the midst of a profound transition. Serving, teaching, and creating new knowledge are the fundamental missions of the Department. We have brought to the fore a group of leaders that share the responsibility for budgeting, planning, organizing, and evaluating our clinical, research, and educational efforts. Our structure has changed and our culture is transforming rapidly. At once, we hold to past traditions even as we are crafting a new identity, one that adds excellence in research to our expressed values of teaching and of providing outstanding clinical care. Our clinical mission includes providing care for the severely mentally ill of all ages and working collaboratively with our colleagues in other areas of medicine and mental health. For many years now we have been "taking down the walls" of the Department to work with community partners in an integrated fashion, and to assure access to care for those who have limited financial resources. The Department's clinical arm now is called, "Strong Behavioral Health," which comprises a wide variety of ambulatory and inpatient services and programs. We are faced with substantial economic and reimbursement pressures that come an overall increase in the demand for clinical services even while a broad section of society seeks to restrict what is spent for the treatment of people with mental disorders. Despite these financial challenges, we have expanded our community involvement as never before. We also have built upon the emphasis of the Department's third chair, Haroutun M. Babigian, M.D., on public psychiatry to now include public health psychiatry or public health-mental health. We recognize ever-increasing diversity in our community and see our clinical mission as embodied in meeting its needs. The Department's outstanding tradition in education and training was established on the bedrock laid down by Drs. John Romano and George Engel during the late 1940s. While we benefit from the excellent foundation they created over the past half-century, education in the 21st century requires new organizations, new vision and new media, and new approaches, just as Drs. Romano and Engel's approaches were new in their time. For example, we now commit a tremendous amount of energy and resources to the support of junior faculty, recognizing that they will be our key future investment in the clinic, in the classroom, and when conducting research. In the research field, the Department has begun to create an identity that is as clear and as robust as our identities in education and clinical care, which is embodied largely in the Rochester Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Sciences. "RIPBS" emphasizes the creative interactions of molecular, intervention, and prevention sciences. In time, the Department of Psychiatry will be recognized for its unique ability to integrate diverse yet carefully chosen research themes: development and aging; response to stressful life events; serious psychopathology; violence and suicide; and therapeutics and prevention. This view is analogous to Dr. Engel's biopsychosocial medical model, which challenges one to integrate multiple perspectives when considering human behaviors, the causes of health, and the treatment of illness. It grows as well from Dr. Romano's conviction that comprehensive, integrative research in psychiatry would be the bedrock for fully appreciating "human biology." This is the time of great vitality within the Department. We are seeking to combine the best of its past traditions—devotion to education and to outstanding clinical care for patients—with a new enthusiasm for research. Together with the recruitment of faculty and staff from outside of Rochester, who bring new ideas and perspectives, we are forging a new tradition for a new century, one that maintains and promotes as well the values of the leaders and faculty who came before us.

Jesse H. Jones is smiling! A 61-year-old Houston nonprofit organization has been re-energized thanks to recommendations made by recent graduates of his namesake business school at Rice University. With the adoption of new technology, organizational changes and a fresh infusion of volunteers — including several up-and-coming Houston executives — The Friends of the Houston Public Library is better positioned to fulfill its mission of "fostering wider recognition, use and support of the Houston Public Library System." The graduates were students in Adjunct Professor David VanHorn's 2013 capstone course, an applied-strategic planning requirement for fully-employed students. Offered each spring semester, the course places teams of Rice MBA students with Houston nonprofits that have sought the school's assistance to solve strategic challenges. Almost 100 nonprofits have benefited from the course since it began in 2008; 27 organizations are involved in the 2014 capstone program.
"For The Friends, the most important outcome is that we have delivered a high-impact, actionable strategic plan that can help them better fulfill their mission," said VanHorn. "For the students, the most important outcome is that they had a great learning experience from an academic perspective — applying their strategic planning skills in a real-world environment — and that they better understand how their capabilities can help a community organization or cause."The challengesThe Friends' primary challenge was the year-over-year decline of the size of annual grant that they raised for the HPL through sales of new and used books, CDs, DVDs and other materials it receives in donations. Operational issues included an overwhelmed, inefficient, and volunteer-intensive system and warehouse, as well as difficulties consistently growing a small volunteer base with fresh talent and perspectives. More broadly, the Friends were only scratching the surface of fulfilling its mission of "fostering wider recognition, use, and support of the Houston Public Library." Their brand awareness and interaction in the community was extremely low due to minimal marketing and outreach. With technology changing how the public accesses and uses information, the Friends could play a critical role in connecting the public to how the Houston Public Library is changing its delivery of its mission and plays a key part in a community's life."Just about everything needed some sort of update or realignment to the mission," said Kevin McNeilly, chair of one of the capstone teams selected to work with The Friends and an engineer with BP. McNeilly joined The Friends board in 2011 through the Jones School's Board Fellows program ("an awesome program"), and nominated the nonprofit for the capstone program."I had experience with the organization and knew we needed to make changes if we wanted to be an `impactful' organization for Houston," said McNeilly. "I thought that the organization was headed into irrelevance and needed people with fresh, high-quality ideas to stop that from happening."Two data-backed solutionsMcNeilly's team included Brian Jaffe, dean of students, YES Prep Gulfton; Ankur Dayal, technology transfer associate, University of Houston; Samantha Hobbs Kast, consultant, Enite; and Andrew Clifton, healthcare advisory senior associate, KPMG.The most critical challenge they observed was the "messy, sort-by-hand and completely overwhelming … system" the nonprofit utilized to sort and process books for resale. They proposed implementing Neatoscan For Libraries, a software scanning system developed specifically for non-profit groups who want to maximize the value of their donations and weeded materials. More than 50 Friends groups and nonprofits utilize this system nationwide.Instead of an annual book sale, McNeilly's team recommended four community-based sales each year at lower-cost venues to maximize net proceeds and visibility. (Past annual three-day sales were held at the George R. Brown Convention Center at a cost of $25,000. The nonprofit's net was only $65,000.) His team also proposed revitalized volunteer recruitment efforts; adding membership benefits; hiring a staff member to oversee operations; revamping the board's structure and adding new members to cover knowledge gaps; and building brand awareness. The second team, led by Lauren Guillerman, advisor, Fearnley Offshore, included Paul Chapman, managing director, Human Capital; Charles Elsea, grain merchandiser, The Scoular Company; Mark Olivier, vice president, Rivington Holdings, LLC; and Britton Russell, financial planning analyst, Shell Oil Company. They proposed a more grass-roots approach with five regional chapters aligned with the system's neighborhood libraries, board committees with specific responsibility areas, marketing improvements and a new online sales platform, including the Neatoscan system. Each team presented its recommendations to The Friends board in May."We were impressed with the sophistication of the reports," said Doug Havlik, president of The Friends board and a 2000 Rice graduate. "The reports were huge catalysts for change, which we really needed. The board was confident in the presentations and thus in our decision to make changes."Favorable outcomesNeatoscan was implemented in June 2013, based on a monthly percentage of sales that has never exceeded 2.5%. The Friends' annual revenues from online book sales are estimated to increase from $12,000 to $150,000, McNeilly said. "This is huge when you consider our annual donation to the library system is typically around $50,000. Our average price has been lowered but we are now selling 13,000 books instead of 1,000 books per year." Next, the board canceled its annual book sale, which it had hosted for 35 years. "This was a big leap of faith because that's what we've been known for," McNeilly said. Holding multiple, smaller sales within different communities provides a "great opportunity to market the organization." The first community book sale was Jan. 23-25 at Resurrection Metropolitan Church in the Heights. It netted roughly $24,000.At McNeilly's invitation, fellow Rice MBA alum Matt Marquart, an "advertising/marketing guru" who recently started his own advertising firm, HandBuiltBrands, joined the board and has created a new website (www.friendsofhpl.org) and established a social media presence. A staff member was hired in January to oversee warehouse operations, and Havlik is anticipating a donation from his employer, Superior Energy Services, to help cover wages. Also in January, the board held its first retreat where it set five concrete objectives through June 2015. The nonprofit now counts 300 volunteers among its ranks due to relationships The Friends established with Volunteer Match, Volunteer Houston and high school student groups. Membership benefits have been added, including T-shirts and discounts to book sales. The organization's board structure has been revamped to include officers with specific responsibilities and committees. Five new members have joined the board, including Marquart, Guillerman, who is heading up membership and volunteers efforts, and Rice MBA student Paul Cannings, who is in the Board Fellows program. "The problem wasn't a lack of ideas," said McNeilly. "The problem was finding the people with the energy and right skill set to implement change. For example, no one on the board was looking at longitudinal trends to see how operations were affecting the bottom line. Ultimately, our job is to make a donation to the library so maximizing our income is our mission, to a point."(In 2013, The Friends donated more than $147,000 to the HPL System to support children's reading and after-school programs, programming, and employee recognition, recruitment, training and development.) McNeilly said his team members drew from their cost accounting and marketing classes "but the single most helpful class was change management. I never appreciated how challenging it is to effect change and the need to communicate those changes multiple times or else the message will get lost." He also credited Professor VanHorn for helping the team visualize where the organization stood at the beginning of Capstone (the smaller bubble) and where it could be (the much larger bubble). "He showed us that a mission statement is very tangible; something you can measure and track." McNeilly said the most significant outcome for The Friends, aside from a projected increase in revenues and larger annual contributions to the Houston Public Library System, is a greater energy. "The fixes we had to make needed to touch every piece of the group. There was always a core group of passionate individuals in The Friends, and the changes made over the past year allowed that passion to be productive for the library."

Student Handbook: Qualifying Exam
Qualifying Exam (Handbook Home)
The basic description of the qualifying exam is on the program's web page.
Semesters offered
We will offer the qualifying exam both in the summer and in the fall following completion of core classes. This has the benefit of giving students options and maybe making the workload for faculty evaluation efforts more manageable. Some students may want to take the exam in the summer and get rolling quickly on their dissertation work. Others may have more electives to do or may just want the summer to review for the exam.
Summer Exam: Mid-July to Mid-August.
Fall Exam: October
Two sets of questions would be developed. One set for the summer and one for the fall.
Students who may not qualify to take the exam when their cohort takes the exam will take the exam the semester after they finish their core course work.
The examination questions will be prepared by the faculty who teach, or have taught, DPA core or research courses in cooperation with the DPA director who will assemble the questions.
Content and Format
The exam will consist of both a written and a verbal component. Students will need to answer three questions on the written portion. Students will have four weeks to complete their responses. Responses to the each question should be no more than fifteen pages excluding title and reference pages. Papers should have one inch margins, be double spaced and use 12 point font. Pages should be numbered.
Since our exam is designed to test over the content of the core courses, we will have a one question from public management (652) and public policy (653). A third question will come from research design (DPA 654) and design practicum (DPA 655) classes. (DPA 651 is considered an overview and introduction so won't have a question of its own.)
While allowing the students to demonstrate their understanding of each core course material, each question would also ask for integration across the core classes and would include a research component. These last two elements would differentiate the qualifying exam questions from the kind of question asked in an exam in each class.
You are not allowed to discuss this exam with other people until the exam process is complete; however, you are allowed to ask clarifying questions.
Questions from previous exams can be seen in here.
Results for Written Component
The DPA program will strive to provide results to students within three weeks of completion of the exam; however, longer time periods may be necessary depending on faculty schedules and the number of students who take the exam at one time.
All exams will be processed using academic integrity software.
Oral Component
If the written component of the exam is successfully completed for all questions asked, the student will proceed to the oral exam. The oral portion of the exam will allow the DPA faculty and the student to interact concerning questions not resolved by the written portion. The oral exam must be completed by the end of the semester in which the written exam was administered.
Exam Grading
Exams will be evaluated with "High Pass," "Pass," or "Fail." All questions must be graded with at least "pass" for the student to pass the written and the oral exam. Decisions in the committee shall be decided by majority vote.
Grades of Unsatisfactory
Students who do not pass the all of the questions in the written comprehensive exam may retake the exam. Students who must retake the exam will have their exams scheduled for the following semester. New questions over the area(s) which were not successfully passed on the first try will constitute the second exam. If the exam is not passed on the second try, the student will not be allowed to continue the program.
Grading Criteria
Program objectives below will be part of the competencies examined in the comprehensive exam process. Other objectives are developed further in the dissertation process. The course objectives which follow add more specificity to the program objectives.
Students who complete the new DPA Program should be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to productively employ and integrate the theoretical literature from a range of public affairs disciplines as they apply to issues commonly addressed in public administration and relate public affairs disciplines,
- Demonstrate the ability to draw connections between that theoretical literature and real world problems in public management and public policy,
- Demonstrate substantial competency in the core subject matter of the student's area of concentration in either public management or public policy,
- Demonstrate the capacity to critically approach the literature in a range of public affairs disciplines

Private investigator Ray Lovell thought he'd left his Gypsy roots far behind him. His father left the travelling life long ago to "live in bricks" with Ray's gorgie—non-Gypsy—mother and Ray himself has never lived on the road. His main connection to that life was childhood trips to visit his father's family in their trailers. But he finds himself pulled back into the often tangled webs of Gypsy family when Leon Wood, a Gypsy man, hires him to locate his missing daughter. No one but a Gypsy would get far, Leon insists, and Ray reluctantly takes the case. Rose Wood—Rose Janko at the time of her disappearance—has been missing for seven years and Ray doesn't think he'll get too far. But when he interviews the seemingly cursed Janko family—not only did Rose vanish, but the males of the family are plagued by an always-fatal degenerative disease of mysterious origins—Ray soon finds that nothing is as it seems and that it's finally time for the Janko family secrets to come to light. When Ray lands in the hospital, poisoned near-fatally and partially paralyzed, his drive to see this case through to the end intensifies.
Narrated alternately by Ray Lovell, a flawed but driven man; and young JJ, a Gypsy boy trying hard to understand his place in both the Janko clan and the greater world, The Invisible Ones is both a compelling mystery and also a fascinating glimpse into an unfamiliar culture and lifestyle. Between this and her debut novel, The Tenderness of Wolves, it is obvious that Stef Penney is an author to watch.

Opera at USC to perform 'An Evening of One Acts'
Opera at USC will perform classic Spanish pieces "La Dolorosa" by Jose Serrano and "Goyescas" by Enrique Granados for its final concert of the spring Saturday and Sunday, April 9 and 10.
"An Evening of One Acts," set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at the University of South Carolina School of Music recital hall, is free and open to the public.
"La Dolorosa" is a Spanish lyrical drama, or zarzuela, presented in an abridged format. This adaptation is by world-renowned zarzuela expert Christopher Webber and was commissioned by the Santa Fe Opera Education Department. "La Dolorosa" premiered at the Teatro Apolo in Valencia in 1930 with text by J.J. Lorente. The story is set in and about a monastery outside the city of Zaragoza. A young monk, Rafael, is painting a dolorosa, a work of art that inspires many memories for him. The depth and emotion of those memories is such that the monastery leader begins to doubt the young brother's aptitude for the monastic life.
"Goyescas," written in 1915, is the product of inspiration by the art of Francesco Goya. Granados composed the opera with melodies taken from his 1911 piano suite, also called "Goyescas." Although commissioned by the Paris opera, the outbreak of World War I prevented the work from being staged. The opera premiered at the Metropolitan Opera on Jan. 28, 1916. Both Granados and his wife perished when the ship Sussex was torpedoed by a German submarine en route to Spain from the premier in New York.
Opera director Ellen Schlaefer says this is a great opportunity for the students to explore the art of Spanish lyrical drama.
"We're excited about having this opportunity for our students to discover Spanish operatic literature, including zarzuela," she said. "Having some of the work of the artist Francesco Goya as the basis for the second opera is wonderful, as it allows exploration into another art form."
Performing in the opera will be graduate students Michael Gray, Ginger Jones, Krista Firkus and John Pritchard; undergraduates John Callison and Nicole Caudill; and guest artist Evan Broadhead, a 2008 USC graduate.
For more information, contact Ellen Schlaefer, director of opera, at email@example.com.
'An Evening of One Acts'
- What: Opera at USC performance
- When: Saturday and Sunday, April 9 (7:30 p.m.) and 10 (3 p.m.)
- Where: School of Music recital hall

Senator Brown introduces the Troop Talent Act
(Cleveland) Today, with the unemployment rate among recent Iraq and Afghanistan veterans higher than the national average and with the number of veterans receiving unemployment benefits doubling since 2002, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has outline a plan to reduce unemployment among recently-returned servicemembers and ease their transition to the civilian workforce.
While servicemembers acquire significant training and skills in the military, many employers fail to recognize these credentials. On Monday, at the Pulaski Post of the Polish Legion of American Veterans (PLAV), Brown outlined how the Troop Talent Act of 2013 would help veterans better utilize the skills they've acquired in the military to find full-time employment when they transition to civilian life.
Brown was joined by Col. Robert Schuett, a Northeast Ohio Air Force Veteran who spent nearly a year unemployed before finding work just last month. Col. Schuett also had to spend thousands of dollars to receive civilian credentials for expertise he already acquired during his service.
Brown was also joined by Commander Joe Benedict, a Vietnam veteran and President of Honor Flight Cleveland who spoke to the importance of this issue and the necessity of this legislation.

Not long ago I started writing some papers about buffer overflows on Linux.
The original plan is to make a full series of papers moving from beginner skills to advanced.
NOTE: The papers do not contain the 101 buffer overflow lessons, there are a lot of resources where you can learn that.
So here goes:
Linux exploit development part 1 - Stack overflow
Linux Exploit Writing Tutorial Pt 2 - Stack Overflow ASLR bypass Using ret2reg
Linux exploit development part 3 - ret2libc
Linux Exploit Development Pt 2 (rev 2) - Real App Demo (part 2) which also has a movie demo that can be found here: http://vimeo.com/22242861
Edit x2:
Linux exploit development part 3 (rev 2) - Real app demo ret2libc
Video: http://vimeo.com/22760600
In order to be able to reproduce these tutorials you only need a spare PC or a Virtual Environment running Linux, the first 2 tutorials use Backtrack 4 R2 and the last one uses the latest Debian Squeeze.
If you have missed the Windows tutorials made by @lupin you can check them over here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...backtrack.html
Hope you guys like them :) (Waiting for feedback!)

Great overall tire to run year round. Well worth a look so you don't have to buy an extra set of rims/tires for winter weather. They only thing I have noticed is a little more sway on turning than traditional tread tires. Being a long time fan of Michelin tires, I wouldn't mind if the rubber compound were a little harder to provide better treadwear.

As far as the treadwear I've only had them for a week and a half. I don't see any treadwear, so that's good. LOL I have been able to test these tires out in all conditions though. They definitely exceeded my expectations in the rain. I had a big puddle on the freeway I went through and all I did was hear the tire rip through it. LOL Dry is pretty decent too. Snow is okay, better than my original tires, but could be better. Hey, what more could you ask for than a tire that is made for every season? The road noise is noticeable but not bad. I've gotten used to it and don't usually hear it much anymore. Great tire Goodyear! Thumb's up!!

I have 59 000 miles on these and still 50% left of the thread. Regular rotation at every 8k miles. Amazing grip and handling in both dry and wet pavements. They are a bit noisy, but this is not a issue for me, since the performance is great.

After a long, fierce and competitive battle of the spring training ballparks, the results are in and it's official.
Goodyear Ballpark – the spring training home of Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians, has been voted as best place to see a spring training game in the Cactus League in USA Today's 10Best Reader's Choice Travel Poll.
Overall, Goodyear Ballpark – the crown jewel of the city which has been gaining notice on a national level also finished second nationally among Arizona and Florida spring training ballparks in the poll spearheaded by the newspaper's longtime baseball writers Bob Nightengale and Paul White.
Goodyear Ballpark, which was completed in 2009 and seats 10,311, also recently was named the top "must see" spring training facility by National Public Radio's Pittsburgh station's travel reporter Elaine Labalme who traveled to spring training ballparks in both Arizona and Florida.
"This is quite an honor for Goodyear Ballpark," Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said of USA Today's 10Best poll. "We're proud to be recognized as the No. 1 ballpark in the Cactus League, and thank the fans for voting us there."
This year marked the first year of the Best Spring Training Facility category in USA Today's 10Best Reader's Choice Travel Poll, an annual contest in the largest newspaper in the United States. Readers and fans were allowed to vote once a day for a month – from Feb. 24 to March 24.
Goodyear was edged out by Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Fla. – the spring training home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Salt River Fields, the spring training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies located on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian community, finished third.
"They told us we ran a great campaign," said Debbie Diveney, business-operations supervisor of Goodyear Ballpark. "We tried to have fun with it – we even had fans voting live with us at the games – beginning with Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord's urging the fans to vote during our opening weekend festivities on Feb. 28 – right up to the very end. It was a valiant effort on our part. Thanks to all the fans who participated. Wait 'til next year."

Department Vision & Philosophy
To preserve, enhance and provide access to our recreational facilities, parks, open space and trails.
Scenic views of the natural environment are one of the community's greatest assets and the reason many people choose to visit or make the Aspen area their home. Maintaining and improving easy access to public lands throughout the UGB is equally important.
The City and County have made great strides in the acquisition of open space during the last 40 years. The further acquisition of open space parcels should focus on wildlife habitat, the protection of scenic resources, trail connectivity and recreational uses.
The City and County have dramatically expanded the regional trails network in recent decades. Further trail development should focus on connections between existing trails to further improve this outstanding network for the purpose of supporting an outdoor lifestyle, easy access to outlying public lands and to provide increased opportunities for the use of trails by commuters in both summer and winter.
The City's recreation programs and facilities have become a valuable asset for year-round residents as well as building on the community's reputation as a center for high quality recreation. These programs and facilities must be constantly reassessed and revitalized in order to maintain one of the most valued features of the Aspen area.

D-backs finally deal Upton for prospects
Arizona sends slugger, Johnson to Atlanta for five players
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | January 24, 2013 5:42 AM ET
The D-backs shipped their curiously maligned slugger to the Braves in a seven-player trade reported by various outlets on Thursday morning. The deal, which is not yet official and is likely pending physicals, would send Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson to Atlanta. In turn, third baseman Martin Prado and starting pitcher Randall Delgado fortify a package of three prospects -- pitcher Zeke Spruill, shortstop Nick Ahmed and first baseman Brandon Drury -- that are said to be Arizona-bound.
Spruill (No. 6), Ahmed (10) and Drury (13) all rank among the Braves' top 20 farmhands. Surprisingly, they are the lone prospects in the deal, and none of the three are expected to be stars, no doubt the label afforded to Upton when he became the No. 1 overall Draft pick in 2005 and proceeded to average 21 home runs over his first five full seasons in the Majors.
Upton, a two-time All-Star who is signed through the 2015 season, invoked a clause in his contract to veto a trade to the Mariners two weeks ago that reportedly would have netted three of the M's top six prospects. His name has been bandied about since Nov. 15, 2010, not long after general manager Kevin Towers assumed control in Arizona.
Spruill, a second-round draftee in 2008, fashioned a 3.67 ERA in 27 starts for Double-A Mississippi last season. The 23-year-old right-hander, an owner of a strong sinking fastball and passable secondary pitches, would likely begin 2013 at Triple-A Reno. He is not a top-of-the-rotation starter.
Ahmed provides the kind of shortstop depth the D-backs have sought throughout the offseason. The 2011 second-rounder is not as polished as Didi Gregorius, whom Arizona landed in a three-team December trade, or Double-A Mobile's Chris Owings but is a solid player nonetheless. He posted a .269/.337/.391 slash line and stole 40 bases in 130 games at Class A Advanced Lynchburg last year. Like Spruill, he went on to success in the Arizona Fall League.
Of the three, Drury is the furthest from the big leagues. The 2010 13th-rounder broke out in '11, batting .347 in 63 games with Appalachian League club Danville. In his first full season as a pro this past year, however, the 20-year-old third baseman batted just .229 in 123 games for Class A Rome. He is seen as a capable defender at the hot corner.
Upton, meanwhile, goes from being the mantle-holder to just one of the guys. He joins a Braves outfield that includes his older brother, B.J., a free-agent signee of Atlanta earlier this winter, and another power hitter in Jason Heyward.
Johnson and Prado are switching places while Delgado, formerly one of the Braves' top prospects, will be hard-pressed to find room in the D-backs' Major League rotation this coming spring. The 22-year-old has 25 Major League games under his belt and, like No. 1 Braves prospect Julio Teheran, who was first reported as a top target in any deal for Upton, has had his ups and downs at Triple-A and in the Majors. Delgado compiled a 4.37 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) and walked 42 batters across 92 2/3 innings in Atlanta last season.

We do live events! Yep, and we bring them to you! Check it out! Push play below!
Our event was EPIC!! Best thing we have ever done... Not only did we have an outstanding turnout, we were just delighted at the number of new faces that got to hear about Christ and if they don't connected with us at least they may get connected somewhere. Just a smashing success! God bless you all!
Shelley, Midlothian, VA
The energy in the room was amazing. It never let go! It stayed "High Energy" throughout the entire night! Just wonderful!!
Ellen, Columbus, OH
It was so easy to set up and put on so many people were surprised... We would love to work with y'all on future events.
Cassie, Midland, TX
I was amazed and thrilled at Roger Fields and Kidz Blitz. It was enjoyable because it included children and parents, which is so needed. It was fun, and directed toward scripture and Jesus. I salute all involved.
Dodie Osteen, Co-Founder & Pastor at Lakewood Church, Houston, TX
...so many stories of individuals who were invited and came to Christ through the event. Here's one story. A 3rd grader who attends our church had been bullied by a girl at school. She had been very hurt emotionally, but decided to go to the bully and tell her she had forgiven her. She then invited the bully to come to the event with her. The bully came and walked forward to accept Christ as her Savior. That story could be told many times over.

text: ..this guy. Romo's contract is up in 2 seasons, Newton is a FA in 2 seasons. Something tells me he's not going to want to re-sign with Carolina, especially if they continue to suck. Jerry Jones loves making the big splash in FA and we all know how intrigued he was by Newton when he was working out at the combine before last year's draft. Obviously a lot depends on how Newton plays the next couple seasons, but assuming he bounces back from this sophomore slump, I think he'll be a big target in FA. Plus, Newton loves the lime light. He said himself he wants be an "entertainer and an icon." Well, there's no better place to be those things than in a Cowboys uniform. This might be a long shot, but you never know. Edit* - Plus, could you imagine the rivalry of Cam Newton vs. RG3 for the next 10 years?

"When avatar made all that money, you would get a weird email from Rupert about it," said the writer.
The president won the last election as the avatar of hope and change.
You know, James Cameron: the director of The Terminator, True Lies, Titanic, and avatar, among other obscure movies.
Films like avatar show the complicated power of virtual reality, where possible applications of computer imagery are endless.
As Weinstein sees it, if avatar and Hurt Locker split the votes, Basterds could win.
The avatar of de Barral into Mr Smith had not been effected without a shock—that much one must recognise.
Blood was its avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood.
avatar—rathengnir ǵimadhvattsṁ prǵamno yonimaklayattsmtt na viǵyaṅte.
But some day it will reassert itself, for it is stronger than we, alike our overlord and avatar.
In the eighth avatar he appears as Krishna and in the ninth as Buddha.
1784, "descent of a Hindu deity," from Sanskrit avatarana "descent" (of a deity to the earth in incarnate form), from ava- "down" + base of tarati "(he) crosses over," from PIE root *tere- "to cross over" (see through). In computer use, it seems to trace to the novel "Snowcrash" (1992) by Neal Stephenson.
In Hinduism, a god made visibly present, especially in a human form. The Buddha is considered an avatar of the god Vishnu.
Note: By extension, an "avatar" is any new embodiment of an old idea.

A highlight of the Senior Banquet includes a charge from a faculty member challenging them to remember fondly their time at Wheaton but to go out from this place to serve "Christ and His Kingdom." Another highlight for seniors is seeing their four years of Wheaton recapped with a senior video. The evening provides the class with an opportunity to testify to God's faithfulness to them throughout their time at Wheaton. Another tradition includes the freshman class setting up for the banquet, the juniors serving the meal, and the sophomores cleaning up the event to celebrate our seniors.

I swear by "The Complete Reference" series of books, I have the fourth edition C one (Schildt) which I still refer to even now.
Otherwise I'd push you towards specified books - i.e. advanced GTK manuals and the like.
Networking tends to be different depending on your OS, but I recommend UNIX Network Programming (Vol 1 & 2) for Sockets and IPC. Coupled with "beej's guide to network programming", I only need to reference other documents when I'm working with OpenSSL or more advanced IKE interfaces.
Other than that, see what everyone else recommends!
