But hey, I'm from New England. Okra's a beloved staple in other regions, such as the American South, parts of Africa and the Mediterranean. According to the book "Food Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa," by Fran Osseo-Asare:
"Okra is another indigenous West African vegetable that has spread globally. The English word 'okra' is derived from the Twi word 'nkuruma' and is famous in the United States as the thickening agent in the gumbo stews of Louisiana. The French word for okra is 'gombo,' which, like gumbo, derives from a Bantu word...When cut, it is...much valued for its mucilaginous or sticky properties."
The okra plant, Abelmoschus esculentus, is a cousin of cotton in the mallow family. (Its hibiscus-like flowers inspired its original scientific name Hibiscus esculentus, but botanists later renamed it.) It's a good source of vitamin C and fiber, as well as glutathione, an antioxidant with anticarcinogenic properties. Not all varieties have those sharp hairs on the outside of the pods, but if present, their sting can be quickly neutralized by hot water.
Here are a few ways to prepare okra:
1. Fried. Dredged in egg and cornmeal and fried to a golden crisp, it's a "simple Southern classic." Add a twist by making it curried.
2. Gumbo, of course. Try it with seafood, chicken and sausage, or no meat at all; there are a zillion recipes out there. If you're short on time, see Cooking for Engineers' version.
3. Oven-roasted. It can be simply flavored with olive oil, salt and pepper, or smothered with spices. Maybe, like Cooking Books blogger Andrea promises, this spicy version will make an okra believer out of me yet.
4. Stew. If you're not crazy about okra on its own, try disguising it with stronger flavors and textures, as in this tomato-based lamb and okra stew or bamya, an Egyptian stew made with beef broth.
5. Pickles. Or, "wickles," (wicked sweet and spicy pickles) as this blogger puts it. Spicy seems to be popular---Alton Brown's recipe uses dried chilis and black peppercorns, and even Ladybird Johnson's pickled okra recipe included hot peppers.
Do you like okra? If so, what's your favorite way to make it?

Shame, Apple don't change the UI of iOS or even allow colours but change unnecessary stuff requiring people to buy new accessories.
Look everyone!! If apple allowed you to change themes/colours or personalise your idevice!! They would charge for evey little thing!! Look at ringtones!! 99p a color £2.99 for a basic theme!! Then look at cydia large amount of tweaks that do this for free!! Mind you I am surprised apple have yet to take this money maker! I better get a patent quickly lol love my idevice's but hate the apple lockdown!!
Ya it is pretty crappy that they did that. However, it does make sense if you consider that it allows more space internally, and for a larger speaker.
Ya but I hate the plugs right now I've always hated the small thin piece of plastic with metal pads that has to mate with the plug, it looks as if apple is making it so it don't matter which way you insert and and they got rid of the crappy old thin piece on the current one. even the micro USB has it and they both are a nightmare to insert in the middle of the night with the light off. Apple knows it to.
I don't get it. Why not just make it a f*cking micro usb cable? I mean really the whole world has changed to that, just makes every charger universal. I don't give two sh*ts as to which orientation the plug should be, it takes less than 1 second to turn it over. I'd much rather have a microusb port so I can just carry around one charger and use it cross platform for any device, and if a friend needs to charge theirs they can use mine...
I think the new cable is implementing USB 3.0, and the micro version of 3 is very large and awkward so they designed their own. Quite ingenious if the orientation of the plug can be used both ways, no more fiddling with the thing in the dark for so long
WHY dont they just use the mini USB and make all their customers happy? Apple really are stupid.
Why would you change the cable after all these years? Cases, chargers, dock chargers, car chargers, iHome, tv's, etc has all the iPhone/iPod dock stations. I just don't get it

HIGHLAND -- A mid-morning fire displaced 72 residents and damaged seven apartments Sunday.
The apartment building was red tagged after the fire damaged 25 percent of the 16-unit complex in the 7400 block of Elm Street.
"We feel very fortunate that all of the residents got out safely and with all the (hot temperatures) our firefighters didn't suffer from the heat," said Cal Fire spokesman Glenn Barley.
The complex's utilities were turned off, leading officials to render the building unsafe to occupy for at least two days, said Scott Sherwood, Disaster Services captain for the Inland Empire chapter of the American Red Cross.
Smoke from the Highland blaze could be seen as far away as Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana.
The Red Cross set up a temporary shelter for the families at San Gorgonio High School. Sherwood said the shelter would be open for at least two days.
Brittany Price said she was woken by someone screaming about smoke coming from the unit on the opposite side of her apartment. Price said her brother attempted to use the fire extinguisher located on the premises but couldn't get it to work.
"If that extinguisher would have worked it would have been able to stop that fire," said Price as she sat on a curb across the street from her apartment. "We tried to fill buckets of water but by the time we got out there it was too late."
Once Price saw the black smoke coming from the unit she said she immediately grabbed her 10-month-old son and ran across the street.
Firefighters were called about 10:25 a.m and San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies shut down Base Line to allow room for the 14 engines and four trucks that responded to the blaze. It took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire, Barley said.
Barley couldn't say how many of the units were destroyed by the fire, but he said all seven units that were involved sustained fire, smoke or water damage.
No occupants or firefighters were injured and the cause of the fire was unknown, fire officials said.
Several residents said the fire spread so quickly that they didn't even have time to gather any personal belongings. Some said the fire started in a unit on the second floor of the complex, which faces Elm Street.
Sofia Riveria, who lives next to the apartment where the fire is believed to have originated, was able to grab her purse but forget her cell phone.
Lucio Eladio Cruz Arango, who also lives in the same unit as Rivera, ran out the door before putting on his shoes. He wasn't alone. Several other tenants either had socks on or were barefoot. One tenant had on his soccer cleats.
"It was pretty scary, but it all happened so quickly that it's all kind of a blur," Arango said. "I would just like to go in there to see what is left, what was damaged."
Barley said 60 firefighters from multiple fire agencies responded to the fire, including the Colton, San Bernardino, Rialto, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Redlands, Loma Linda and county fire departments.

THE BIBLE Collection was, and is, a great idea, but like so many great ideas, its execution has proved rather uneven.
The initial films in this made-for-TV series — Abraham, Jacob and especially Joseph — treated biblical sex and violence with uncommon frankness, and they brought to life biblical stories that had, until then, languished in cinematic obscurity. Moses covered more familiar territory, but its down-to-earth naturalism and a terrific performance by Ben Kingsley helped to set it apart from the overblown epics of the past.

Childhood Poverty Has Troubling, Long-Term Consequences
Jun 30, 2010
By Teresa Lim and Elizabeth Hoffmann
A new Urban Institute brief, Childhood Poverty Persistence: Facts and Consequences, explores the long-term effects of childhood poverty and provides further evidence that the nation needs sound policy solutions to ensure more children have the resources and supports necessary to become productive adults.
The brief examines the links between poverty status at birth, persistent childhood poverty, and adult outcomes.
The study used Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data from 1968 through 2005 to examine the occurrence and duration of poverty among all children and by race, from birth through age 17. The study's authors analyzed key child poverty data, including the number of years and proportion of children who lived in persistent poverty (defined as living at least half of their childhood in poverty), the frequency in which children cycled in and out of poverty, and the relationship between poverty status at birth and adult outcomes. Researchers tracked the progress of these children at ages 25 to 30, examining adult outcomes such as poverty status, educational attainment, and employment. The study's results provide a stark picture of the long-term consequences of and racial disparities in childhood poverty. Read more>>


text: So we all should have figured out by now that the offensive line is the main thing holding the team back. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that anything is going to change with the offensive line anytime soon. The best we can do for the time being is find a way to help the offensive line out so that the offense can once again produce points at a satisfactory rate. I want to hear from the great minds out there: What are some ways that the Cowboys can help improve the offense? Here's my idea: Spread offense. It seems like teams are stacking the line to stop the run and also get to Romo quickly when he drops back to pass. Also, opposing CB's are playing press on our receivers with safety help over top, so unless the receivers can beat the press and get into their route quickly enough, Romo usually doesn't stand a chance unless he performs a Houdini escape act. The spread offense could force teams to take some of their players off the line which could give Romo a little more time to make reads and find open receivers. It might also create some match-up advantages. I would like to see Bryant, Austin, Ogletree, and Harris in the spread more often. Shotgun is another good formation. Maybe the team can even go 5-wide like the Packers and Saints do at times. Just trying to think of ideas... Any others? Edit: I could also see that benefiting the running game. We have been successful with the draw play in the past but I don't recall seeing it as much this year.

WATCH: Kids Reenact 'Breaking Bad,' 'Game Of Thrones' And More
Listen to TV Talk - True Blood on iHeartRadio
The only thing better than watching "Game of Thrones," "Breaking Bad" and "Downton Abbey" is watching little tykes reenacting them for the Kid Emmys.
These adorable little mini-thespians are more than believable in the roles of all our favorite TV characters—maybe even TOO believable sometimes (does that little boy know what crystal meth actually is??? Yikes!).
Also hilarious is little Daenerys Targaryen and her dragon… SO friggin' cute!
In addition there's a "Mad Men" homage, complete with a very dapper, mini-Don Draperand stylish Peggy Olsen.
But, our absolute hands down favorite is their take on the HBO dark and gritty crime drama, "True Detective" — this kid's Matthew McConaughey impression is absolutely priceless!

We strive to balance our available power supply with the electricity demands of our customers. At times, however, we may have excess power available to sell to other utilities or power marketers. For example, in summer months when Northwest electricity usage is lower, we may sell our surplus power. Conversely, we may at times purchase additional power, such as in winter months when Northwest usage is high. The result is a more efficient and cost-effective use of our power-generation and power-transmission resources.
This is a preschedule estimate, and subject to change in real-time, due to changes in load, generation and firm contracts.

I had a customer call for support on his line for internet that was recently fixed. He said "Can you guarantee it will not EVER go down again?", I said "I Cannot".
It's bad enough that so many people suffer from the notion that we are a free stationery store ("Give me an envelope...a folder...tape....staples...that black pen.....stamps.....") but now, apparently, we are also a DIY computer shop.

I've had a few customers that presented much the same as above - with a side order of the attitude of "you must do it NOW - while I stand on one foot because I need it now and I don't want to wait". When what they want done is going to take three days.Kind of like Leroy Jethro Gibbs (or name the TV character of your choice) asking Abby to do the 72 hour lab test and get results in six hours or less because "we need that information NOW"! It can be done on tv because a writer changes the script - real life; however, is not reel life and it still takes 72 hours to do the 72 hour test.Yes - I had a couple of people try something similar when I worked in car insurance. Because they wanted the check to get a NEW car right now even if their car could be fixed for under $1K (and was going to be fixed) and they didn't want to wait for the car to be looked at, repairs to be done, or anything but a check for a NEW car RIGHT now. Sometimes the words sound "normal" - but the attitude and body language let you know that they will not be happy unless they get their way in the next 60 seconds or less. Some customers don't want to hear about "company policy" or even "reality check".
Oh, heck, might as well add in one that happened some years ago when I was still the children's librarian at our "Worst Neighborhood Branch Ever". During the summer we had crafts every wednesday. First twenty kids in got the twenty available craft kits and the pleasure of spreading glue all over themselves and each other.One woman usually arrived with her two kids promptly at two every wednesday. But it was still first come, first served.One Wednesday she didn't show up. Happily, other kids who weren't hers got to do the crafts.The crafts usually went from Two to Two forty five. So, we were done and it was probably closer to three thirty when Our Heroine and her kids arrived.Craft hour was over? How horrible! Why didn't we wait for her kids? Because craft hour goes from two to three. We aren't waiting for anyone as we have other things to do. Oh well, that was all right. Just give her two kits for her kids and she'd go home. Uh, we can't do that as there are twenty kits and therefore twenty kids get to do crafts.She threw a screaming fit in the middle of a small library. How DARE we give away the kits that were rightfully for her kids? Those other kids were never at the crafts program (no, because your kids always grabbed up most of the spaces and my boss wouldn't letme stop you). This was unacceptable! (I really hate that word. I didn't like hearing it from her and it makes it impossible for me to listen to Super Nanny Jo Frost.) She would NEVER come back to our HORRIBLE branch again! (Promise?) Andfinally she left. Of course she was back next week with her kids and expected us to cough up kits for their cousins who were coming to visit that weekend or some such story....Since I moved back to the main library, she continues to plague us. She will hear about a book on the radio and wants us to buy it yesterday and put it on the shelf for her. We have a shelf just devoted to HER requests...which she then doesn't pick up on time and get sent back to the shelves, then she shows up six weeks later and has a fit because the books are checked out. Once she does get the book, she renews it the allotted number of times (which should give her nine weeks)...then when it is checked in, surprise!--it's on hold for her oldest daughter who checks it out for her mother to continue reading...sometimes they passit back and forth. They have successfully kept books out of the hands of other patrons with this ploy...the woman could drive a sane person crazy.And does. Nearly every day.

(Also posted to WLDG with the title: "Come on baby light my fire".)
Saturday evening was a perfect night for deck time at the beach--warm night, light breeze, calm water. We dined al fresco with a nice white, but the evening was too deliciously summery to go back inside and so we decided we needed a light and fruity summer red to sip afterward by a warm little campfire.
I chose a 2005 Loring (screw cap! deck time loves screw caps!) Garys' Vineyard. We found it lighter than the usual Garys', and not showing much of the classic earthy red fruit from that vineyard. After sipping at it a bit, we finally realized that the wine was probably just tight and in need of a bit more coaxing, so we poured our glasses back in the bottle and I went back to the cellar for another pinot that another bottle of a week ago seemed past due for attention, the 1997 Swan Wolfespierre from Sonoma. It drank much better than the Loring, and in fact much much better than the bottle from the previous week. The hint of mint was still there but not prominent, and the wine didn't have the sweet, porty character and medicinal iodine finish of the other either. It seemed lighter, and had more acid. Very very good.
While we enjoyed that, a cold breeze came down from the northwest and chilled us to the bone. Good timing, or we'd have probably sat out there and killed the bottle. Instead, we more-responsibly came in and set the remainders of both bottles aside. During the night, I woke up and thought back on the wines, in particular how different the Swan was, and realized that I had trusted the Swan to be what the neck tag said and that it must have been an Estate or something else, yeah that would explain the difference!
So last night when we sat down to enjoy some of the salmon we'd spent the day smoking while working in the yard, out came the two pinots, and I quickly grabbed the Swan to verify my nocturnal conclusion: Wolfespierre. Wrong again, Neecie! It really had been a Woflie after all. Odd how different these older bottles can be, but kind of wonderful too. We'd have nothing to talk about if it weren't something of a gamble. It showed even better than the night before. A lovely wine and without the overt overripe flavors of last week's bottle. I preferred it to the Loring by a hair, probably out of sentimentality, but Bob loved the Loring which was now showing very well indeed. It had gained a bit of weight and now had the classic Gary's red fruit with iron-rich minerality. I'm very happy to have three more bottles.

ONTARIO -- Chaffey Joint Union High School District teachers and staff got cheered on for the start of the new school year by someone more used to being on the receiving end of accolades: "Showtime" Lakers star James Worthy, who spoke at the district's back-to-school rally on Monday.
Named by the NBA in 1996 as one of the league's 50 greatest players, "Big Game James" Worthy was a seven-time All-Star and three-time NBA champion. He played for the Lakers from 1982 to 1994.
"It's just an amazing privilege to be amongst -- it's the teachers I'm talking to right now -- the real heroes of our time," Worthy told the packed Chaffey High School auditorium Monday morning.
"I know all of you care; that's why you're here," Worthy said. "Valuable, valuable asset that you are, I just wanted to come here and thank you."
Although he left the University of North Carolina after his junior year to enter the NBA draft, his mother, Gladys, wouldn't let the rising star off the hook about his degree:
"My mom made me sign a clause in my NBA contract that said if I didn't finish (college) by 1985, I had to give the NBA $100,000 of their money back," he said. "I finished by 1985."
His mother, a teacher's aide, had previously pulled him off the basketball team in middle school when he brought home a failing report card.
Even without Worthy's presence, it was a high-energy rally, featuring musical and dance numbers and Superintendent Mat Holton presiding over a ceremony highlighting the district's accomplishments in the 2012-13 school year and the events of the year to come.
"The things we accomplished last year will go down in the history of this district," Holton said, including the high-school-only district graduating the most students and having the highest graduation rate in its 131-year history.
The district also saw a big uptick in the number students qualifying for a four-year college last year: 40 percent, up from 22 percent six years before. The district also had 859 students accepted to Cal Poly Pomona last year, up from 459 the year before; the district signed an agreement with the university that students who met the university's requirements would be guaranteed acceptance.
"We are going to change this community," by increasing the number of college graduates in Ontario, Holton said.
The Chaffey district's school year begins Wednesday.
"A new year is upon you," Worthy said. "You have new knuckleheads coming in and old knuckleheads coming back. Good luck and thank you."

Hi Ian,
Any dates ledft in december ideally a weekend or January for seminar in milton Keynes?
Hi there... apparently all my posts were deleted because I laughed at this Chicks post? Jesus .. If nobody has a sense of humor here then you really need me.
I dont go all flying off the handle if I didnt do nothing wrong- i just laugh about it and calmly explain because it wouldn't really matter... so thats why I assumed it was no big deal to Ian at first- but as he seemd really upset I just wanted to explain to cool everything over. Just to be clear....locker room humor is all so sorry.
You will also see there are no pics of my kids on myspace, that does not mean I deny them. I have 3 beautiful children of which I'm proud.
But like I said earlier, there are too many cowards, fakes and sick people for me to advertise my family life on a world wide internet web site.
Thanks for your concern.
The Machine
But please think twice before you make jokes about a married man. I think I speak for every married man on here. Family jokes are a little too personal to be laughed at.
I never knew your post were going to be deleted, but I'm pleased they were.
thanks for the apology.

I agree. The internet and it's excuse of social networking is very dubious and breeds low morals within society. I would never use Myspace, or any other tool that advertises young kids in nubile states and leaves them open to the manipulation of those who have no regard for their vulnerability.
It's the best way really. God knows theres no end to tail out there.

Hi all,
Yesterday ik put BT5 on a USB and booted from it. BT starts, but my old hard drive (C:\) is missing. When ik try to reboot without the BT5 USB stick into my laptop, the bios can't find my C drive with Windows7anymore. Also my DVDrom drive isn't appearing anymore? I'n really new to BT5, can't find any solutions for my problem in the wiki or bachtrack-linux website, and i really need some files i had on the former W7 installation. Did i **** up my mbr of my hard drive?
Thanks in advance for any help...
Greetz ViTo
The last 2 days i've read alot more and am starting to 'get to know BT5' just a tiny little bit.
I've probaply overwritten my old mbr by installing BT5 (without any knowledge) through unetbootin onto a USB stick. After that the bios didn't displayed my internal HD and DVD rom, only a strange bunch of numbers.
I read that with GRUB you can boot and use some utilities to fix the mbr, just like fixmbr.exe on a windows repair action.
After turning on my PC and boot from the USB, i can type in GRUB and than i find some help words. But there i hang now.....
I don't know which commands or code i have tot put in to start the GRUB mbr rewrite tool? Because i like BT5 alot and don't want to **** up (maybe i already did) my precious and longtimetaking .fla files and some precious pictures ik haven't just started to type something in the GRUB commandline.....
Anyone suggestions on what to do or where to seek? Thanks in advance

On 21 August, 2007, El Mundo, one of Spain's largest dailies with a circulation of 330,000, carried a report taken from the 20 August edition of the Guardian. El Mundo described how the works of Harun Yahya represent a threat to the theory of evolution:
"... Reference is made to Oktar declaring in his books that the theory of evolution is a deception. The author seeks to demolish the theory of evolution, which involves anti-religious references by Darwin, by espousing religious creationism."

Transforming a Basement into a Home Theater, Pt. 2
Steve Kindig has been an electronics enthusiast for over 30 years. He has written extensively about home and car A/V gear for Crutchfield since 1985. Steve is also a volunteer DJ at community radio station WTJU, where he is a regular host of the American folk show "Atlantic Weekly," as well as the world music program "Radio Tropicale."
More from Steve Kindig
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
When I moved into my new house, I wanted to create a room for great home theater and music listening. In part one of this series, I outlined my general plan to create such a space in my basement. Now it's time to put the plan into action.
is shared by a laundry room and the equipment closet.
The equipment closet: A changing room for A/V gear
One of my main goals for this theater/listening room was making sure that I'd be able to easily access and swap out equipment without cluttering the room with components. Part of my job here at Crutchfield involves occasionally trying out gear at home (I know, tough gig, right?). I started thinking about an in-wall cabinet, and then I realized that what I really needed was an equipment closet.
Fortunately, I had a decent-sized space to work with. Originally, the entire area behind the front wall of the theater room was taken up by a laundry room. The space was much bigger than it needed to be to house a washer and dryer, so I sliced off a 4-ft. by 6-ft. chunk to use as the equipment closet (pictured, left — click on image to enlarge). A door between the laundry room and equipment closet gives me easy access to the back panels of my equipment, as well as to the various cabling running from my components to the projector, surround speakers, etc. (Pictured at left you can see the downsized laundry room and the future equipment closet to the right, where the stepladder is).
to access components and cables.
The equipment racks: Free-standing vs. built-in
I've seen lots of photos of home theater setups featuring an equipment closet where the gear is housed on built-in shelves. That probably would have been a cleaner-looking approach, but I thought it might compromise the system's sound quality slightly. See, I'm kind of obsessed about reducing or eliminating vibrations wherever possible. Built-in shelves would structurally be part of the room and more likely to pick up vibrations. Instead, I decided to place my components on two racks that would rest on the concrete floor in the closet. I'd be able to get to the front panels of the gear through the opening between the theater room and the closet (pictured at right).
One minor drawback to my arrangement is that the front-panel displays are located on the front wall, to the left of the projection screen, which could be a visual distraction. I can dim or darken the displays — so far it hasn't really been an issue.
looks like from the theater room.
Some cables still need to be
rerouted out of sight.
Keeping components from losing their cool
So, the equipment closet idea seemed to be an ideal solution, right? Actually, here's where I almost made a serious goof. Loading a closet-sized space with hot-running electronics is just about guaranteed to send the room temperature soaring. And that's not healthy for the performance or lifespan of audio/video gear. Fortunately, I had mentioned my project to Crutchfield A/V Designer Norm Hawes. Actually, I about talked his ear off! (The room design issues I was wrestling with are the bread and butter of our A/V Design Group — these guys field questions like this all day long.) When I described the closet idea, Norm immediately recommended running a supply duct to the closet for heating and air conditioning, Luckily, there was still time to get the HVAC guys to make it happen. Whew!

Okay, so we've sent you a list of candidates. You've reviewed them, seen their videos, read their CVs, and narrowed them down to a short list. What next? Before the interview (it's a long topic worthy of it's own blog post), what should you be doing to prepare?
The most important thing is figuring out what you want. Obviously you want a new member of staff or you wouldn't be hiring, but what is it that you're really looking for in an employee? Do you want someone creative? Someone who'll work lots of overtime when it's necessary? Someone who fits in with the team culture? Someone with very set ideas, or someone who you can mould in the company's image? Thinking about this before will help you stay focused during the interview process, and help you to determine which candidates are right for your current needs.
You should do a bit of homework on the candidate before they arrive. Read their CV, watch their video on our website, but also consider digging a bit deeper. You could, for example, spend a couple minutes researching their previous company, an orginisation they volunteer for, or even an unusual pastime they have written about on their CV. The idea behind this is to get a well-rounded view of this candidate. This will help you to see who will best fit the slot you are looking to fill, and will also give you more to discuss during the interview. An added bonus is that candidates will usually enjoy the fact that you took a couple extra minutes to consider their backgrounds and will likely think more highly of your company as a result.
Finally, spend a couple minutes thinking about how to sell this position. Interviews are a two-way street (yes, even in these tough economic times) and candidates are using the interview process to interview you right back. So think about why they would want this position beforehand. Is there lots of room for growth in your organisation? Do you offer unusually good benefits? Do you offer flexi-time, or maybe have a gym on-site? Is the work itself interesting and challenging? Once you know the answers to these questions, you'll be able to convey them to candidates during the interview, which will sell them on the position.
Happy hiring!

In fact, it teasingly suggests that Vanderbilt's a real softie.
And how about Al Gore (Vanderbilt) vs. Dick Cheney (Wisconsin) in the Final Four?
"This Vanderbilt person is a perfect example," Beyer says of the "PTSD" afflicting so many in the transgender community.
Before she wrote books, Vanderbilt gave the world designer blue jeans through her eponymous "GV" label in the late 1970s.
We already had kids last year turning down Duke, Georgetown and Penn to go to Vanderbilt with lots of money.
He'll soon make Vanderbilt sing small as a multi-millionaire; but when his pile's made this State of his will be a wilderness.
Solomon would have to be a king, or a Vanderbilt to stand it.
I pity the rich man's sons unless they have the good sense of the elder Vanderbilt, which sometimes happens.
One of my recollections is seeing Captain Vanderbilt in command of a steamboat.
The Vanderbilt system as it is now understood really began with these transactions.

INDIO - Indie rock favorites Mazzy Star, featuring Hope Sandoval and Dave Roback, gave a somber performance Friday night at the Coachella festival.
Sandoval mainly stood at a same place on the stage and softly performed songs such as "Fade Into You," "Blue Flower," "Common Burn," "She Hangs Brightly" and "Ghost Highway."
The slide guitar sound from the group was engineered well but Sandoval's vocals were muffled at times. One time, she took out an ear piece and pointed toward the crowd, possibly to an engineer.
Scattered rain hit during the set which caused some of the audience to leave. Others left to catch the Black Keys and by the end of the performance the crowd was noticeably slimmed.
Sandoval thanked the audience and then walked off the stage with the rest of her bandmates.

EU Contributes Funds to Upgrade Crossing into Gaza (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari 03/21/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/153977#.T2lgYMWO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
The European Union has contributed 13 million euros - $17.2 million - to upgrade the crossing through which goods enter Gaza, the Bethlehem- based Maan news agency reported on Tuesday.
The report said that a further 22 million euros, or $29.1 million, of EU funds will be used to build a medium scale wastewater treatment plant in the Tubas area.
EU Foreign Affairs chief Catherine Ashton was quoted in the report as having said the EU is fully aware of the scarcity of water resources in the occupied Palestinian territory and as such has identified water as one of the focal sectors of its assistance.
Ashton added, The upgrading of the Kerem Shalom crossing point allows for an increased movement of goods in and out of the Gaza Strip.
According to the Maan report, work on the crossing under the EU project, which will be conducted by the PA in coordination with Israel, will build and expand infrastructure including loading and inspection areas and warehouses, as well as providing IT equipment.
The report said Ashton signed the two agreements with PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad in Brussels on Monday, ahead of a meeting of donors to the PA.
Fayyad recently warned that his government would reduce expenses if donor countries fail to pay aid they pledged to the PA.
Fayyad said last weekend that the PA would face a serious financial situation if funding does not arrive as promised.
Despite the claims by the Hamas-run government in Gaza of a humanitarian crisis caused by Israels blockade on the coastal enclave, Israel allows various goods to enter Gaza and also allows for the exporting of agricultural products, such as strawberries and carnations, from Gaza to Europe, as part of an extensive project financed by the Dutch government.
Despite the recent rocket barrage from Gaza, Israel kept open the Erez Crossing for passengers and employees of international organizations operating in Gaza. Kerem Shalom was open for the delivery of 200 truckloads to Gaza residents.
Israel often helps the residents of the coastal enclave. This assistance includes medical care, and more than once Israeli doctors have been able to save the lives of Gazan children.
Meanwhile, the PA is embarking on a new economic tactic to challenge Israeli authority over Jewish areas in Judea and Samaria, commonly known as Area C and which includes most of the land area in Judea and Samaria.
The PA told the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee in Brussels last week that it is asking donors to earmark money for development in Area C.
Palestinians "cannot simply wait for the conclusion of peace negotiations to reverse this de-development and destruction of livelihoods by the Israeli occupation," a report in Maan said, referring to Israeli authority over the land restored to Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967.

Beavers, Ducks Will Host Baseball Regionals
Release from OSU Sports Information
Oregon State Baseball Earns No. 3 National Seed
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State baseball team will enter the 2013 NCAA Tournament as the No. 3 National Seed, the NCAA selection committee announced Monday morning.
The seeding is the highest ever for the Beavers, who were the No. 8 national seed in 2005.
Oregon State is the No. 1 club at the Corvallis Regional, which opens play Friday at Goss Stadium. Oregon State will also host No. 2 Texas A&M, No. 3 UC Santa Barbara and No. 4 UT-San Antonio.
The postseason appearance is the 14th all-time for the Beavers, and the fifth consecutive, which extends a program record. The Beavers are 40-26 (.606) all-time in the postseason, including a 23-17 (.575) record in NCAA Regional games.
Oregon State is hosting an NCAA Regional for the fourth time, and have gone a combined 9-0 when hosting in 2005, 2006 and 2011 (since the NCAA expanded into the current Super Regional format).
The Beavers are 18-3 all-time at Goss Stadium in the postseason.
Texas A&M finished the regular season with a 32-27 record and 13-16 record in the Southeastern Conference. OSU and A&M last met in the 2009 Fort Worth Regional when the Beavers won both meetings between the teams.
UCSB finished the regular season with a 34-23 overall record and 17-10 mark in the Big West Conference, which tied the Gauchos for second in the league. The Beavers and Gauchos last met in 2012 with OSU taking 3-of-4 in Santa Barbara.
UTSA finished the regular season with a 35-23 mark and 15-11 record in the Western Athletic Conference, and advanced to the postseason by winning its league tournament championship. OSU and UTSA have only met in 2011, with the Beavers winning, 10-7.
All-session tickets will be made available to the general public beginning at 7 a.m. on Wednesday (online only until 9 a.m.). Infield reserved tickets are $100 while outfield general admission seats are $75 and student outfield seats cost $56. All-session tickets guarantee the holder to all six games of the regional, and a seventh if necessary game.
Single-game tickets will be made available on each day – pending availability - and cost $20 for infield reserved seats, $15 for outfield general admission and $12 for student outfield seats. The ticket office at Goss Stadium will open at 10 a.m. on the first day of the regional and two hours prior to the first game's first pitch each subsequent day.
Fans can purchase tickets by calling 1-800-GOBEAVS, going online at BeaverTickets.com or in person at Gill Coliseum, which is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The regional will begin Friday. Times and television information for each game of the series will be announced as the week progresses. Make sure and visit osubeavers.com for updates.

Charleston School of Law changes upset students, alumni
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Last week, the school announced that it entered into a management services agreement with The InfiLaw System. That agreement may be the first step in selling the law school.
Infilaw owns three other for-profit law schools nationwide. Those schools are the Charlotte School of Law, Florida Coastal School of Law and the Phoenix School of Law.
Gabe Hogan is a third year law student who questions the reputation of those three schools.
"These are schools that are unranked schools, that I personally believe don't have the steam and charisma the Charleston School of Law has," he said.
Hogan was among close to 100 students who attended a meeting organized by the administrators of the law school and Infilaw Tuesday afternoon. While Hogan is worried about the reputation of other schools, one student said he is focusing on the reputation of his school.
"Our school is about our faculty and about our students," Logan Rogers said. "It's not about ownership or anything like that. We're still going to have the same core values."
However, Hogan said that if the law school is sold administrators will use his and past alumni's success to sell a program that will be completely different.
"They are going to be selling a product that we did not have," he said. "They're going to be touting our hard work and our achievements to sell something that is completely different than we had bought into, what we supported and what we gave our blood sweat and tears for."
Richard Gershon, the first Dean of the law school, also expressed his worry about the management change.
"I hope someone will listen to the overwhelming sentiment that this deal is a bad thing for the law school, and for Charleston," Gershon said via Facebook.
The Alumni Board of the law school was present at the meeting. The President of that board said she is disappointed with the answers that were given Tuesday night. She said the school has not answered when or if the school will be sold.
The spokesperson for the Charleston School of Law declined to comment on the story. Calls left for The InfiLaw System were not returned.

PHILADELPHIA -- AMI Entertainment Network has released an update to its BarLink smartphone app that adds new user features and simplifies interaction between music fans and AMI jukeboxes. BarLink is available for mobile devices running Apple iOS or Android.
New capabilities for customizing and streamlining the BarLink experience include generating individual playlists, location search filters and secure storage of payment information for future transactions. The update also supports AMI's upcoming music video program.
The user-playlists feature enables BarLink customers to build lists of their favorite songs for easy access through any AMI jukebox. They do this by touching a "My Playlists" button under the "account" menu; then, to add a selection to a custom playlist, all that's required is a touch of the "playlist" button on the song selection screen.
Also new is an augmented search interface that offers filters that constrain the display of locations to those sites featuring specific AMI products, such as the new NGX with music video capabilities. A filter is added by touching the "filter" button on the search screen and choosing one from a list. As the music video program rolls out, patrons will be able to select music videos through BarLink.
Customers can now use the app to store credit-card information for future transactions, thus simplifying the process of adding credits to a BarLink account. This feature is invoked with a "manage credit cards" button on the account screen.
The AMI BarLink application is available through iTunes and the Google Play store. Visit amientertainment.com/mobile.

Indians and the Land Runs
Standing Bear's story (See the Important People page) brought focus to the American Indians in Oklahoma, including the interest of Senator Henry Dawes in Massachusetts. Dawes, wanting to help, created a bill to divide allotted lands for individual Indians and sell the rest of the land for a profit. This bill, called the Dawes Act, provided an opportunity for the white settlers to purchase the excess land. American Indians did not feel the same way about the land runs as did the people making the runs. Those people were happy and excited at the prospect of new land, and American Indians became afraid they might lose even more land. This is because they had already lost their homelands and the land they were forced to accept by the government.

Best Of :: People & Places
There's a rare spiritual resonance about this work, created by artist James Carpenter in collaboration with the Richard Meier Architectural Firm. It can be found inside the cylindrical glass-and-steel courtroom at the west end of the atrium at the Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse. The parabolic glass ceiling hangs like the lens of a clear-seeing eye on a spider web of metal cables and connectors. The beauty of it is in the subtle way its craftsmanship and precision rise above the merely practical. They make poetry of what law books lay out in dull prose and the courts themselves sometimes ignore: that the illuminating search for truth and justice should focus the mind on every fact, large and small -- dimpled chad or not.

In his native Kazakhstan, International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion Vassily Jirov learned to develop his boxing footwork by being forced to outrace angry police dogs down a narrow hallway. By comparison, facing a 190-pound pugilist in the boxing ring has to seem like a snap. Sure enough, the self-proclaimed Russian Tiger -- who moved to Scottsdale in 1996 after winning a gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics -- has cruised through his unheralded weight division like it's just a preliminary to some anticipated main event. That main event would be either a heavyweight title shot or a step down to take on light-heavyweight king Roy Jones Jr. But, with his unmatched knockout percentage and relentless body-attacking style, Jirov might continue to be a victim of his own success, scaring away opponents unwilling to tangle with a tiger.
This is the Valley's most splendid tribute to the equipment that paved the Garden of Eden, courtesy of designer Bill Tonnesen. Even before you reach the renovated interior, the building's exterior walls and courtyard are designed to praise the visual virtues of the company's earthmoving tools -- mostly Caterpillars. Just about every surface and nook celebrates the sculptural appeal of big loud things that dig, split, drill, scrape and core. At Empire, it's all about blades, pistons and bits done up as pure decor. But be prepared: The weight and size of the details tend to leave first-time visitors gape-mouthed and asking, "What kind of rig did that come from?"
Our earliest memories of late '60s/early '70s life in the Valley are not of tubing the Salt River or visiting the Phoenix Zoo, but -- well, okay, we admit it -- shopping. The best excursions were to the elegant Biltmore Fashion Park, where we recall peeking in the windows at Rosenzweig's Jewelers and Mills Touche, and wondering what that Red Door at Elizabeth Arden's could possibly mean.
But we most fondly remember Saks Fifth Avenue, the highest-end store in the city, a sensory whirl of perfume in the air, pristine jewelry on display, and customers who looked like they could afford it. The more subdued exterior was a treat, too: a desert-tan backdrop with sandstone mosaics designed in 1963 by artist John Smith.
Several years ago, Saks relocated elsewhere in the mall, and we were dismayed to see the mosaics come down. But some nostalgic soul salvaged some of the work, and turned it into a garden installation that you can visit just east of the original Saks -- a priceless bit of Phoenix at a cost everyone can enjoy.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are saying. Do you mean that the SSID for your network does not appear in the rainbow tables? If that's the case, you can't just add a folder into those tables with your SSID name and expect it to work. The hashes are calculated using the SSID as a salt, so the existing hashes in the rainbow tables will not work with your SSID. You will need to create your own rainbow table using a tool like genpmk.
I also don't see the value in combining the use of airolib and cowpatty (although you may have a valid reason). Cowpatty alone is perfectly capable of taking a WPA/2 handshake and a rainbow table to obtain a WPA/2 passphrase.

first you need a good solid piece of wood ...
are you wanting to fight and teach?
Whats your background in martial arts ? what you looking to teach ?
i dont know your background but i would say unless you are sure you have some skills worth passing on, dont do it. Its your students that will suffer in the long run and your club wont last long.
You also have to be prepared to keep learning and training yourself otherwise your students will plateau at a certain level and then never get better, get bored and leave.
Good luck, hope it works out
looking to get people in to train different disciplines
Make sure you work with people you can trust and who won't stab you in the back, when you've done all the hard work. What disciplines are you looking at to get people into and are you proficient enough in them? Make sure you can access other high quality instructors and keep giving your students well structured training sessions and access to higher graded instructors, provided they are of course, technically sound and not the Bullshido kind of guys
the bushido guys?
looking to "outsource" the coaching i guess.
Got guys for boxing, judo and have a guy interested in helping out with mma (knows a few other guys around who could help)
as i work at a college I am looking to get students involved and am looking to start at the very basic end.
also what did you mean by stab in the back?
take over?

GSA Awards Local Telecommunications Services Contracts For Cleveland and Los Angeles Metropolitan Areas Combined Value of Government Business Estimated to be $350 Million
March 24, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration today awarded contracts to four companies to provide local telecommunications services to federal government agencies in two more cities under its Metropolitan Area Acquisition Contracts. The cities are Cleveland and Los Angeles and the combined value of government business is estimated to be $350 million over 8 years - 4 base years plus 4 one-year options.
GSA today selected Ameritech Corp. and AT&T for the Cleveland metropolitan area, and WinStar Communications, Inc. and Pacific Bell to provide services to agencies in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
These awards are the latest results of the Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) Program, which is managed by GSA's Federal Technology Service (FTS). The contracts in Cleveland and Los Angeles bring the total number of cities served by the program to 7, with procurements for 13 additional cities already underway. The contracts provide for standard voice service as well as switched data service and dedicated transmission service offerings. The scope of the contracts allows for the addition of new and leading edge services as they become available in the commercial marketplace.
An additional award for the Baltimore metropolitan area is expected soon followed by awards for Miami, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Minneapolis in the near future.
The contracts in Cleveland have an estimated value of $150 million over 8 years, with new local service prices that will potentially save the government over $20 million when compared to rates currently available to the government. This is a saving of approximately 40%. For the core voice service of analog centrex, the offered prices will potentially save the government nearly $8 million when compared to currently available prices.
The contracts in Los Angeles have an estimated value of $200 million over 8 years, with new local service prices that will potentially save the government over $71 million when compared with standard business rates and over $47 million when compared with rates currently available to the government. This is an approximately 56% saving over standard business rates and 46% over current government rates. For the core voice service of analog centrex, the offered prices will potentially save the government approximately $40 million when compared to currently available prices.
The MAA Program was conceived shortly after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in order to bring to the local service environment the same benefits of competition that had been realized in the long distance market since 1984..
"We are now well underway in the rollout of the local telecommunications program and the achievements of our goals of bringing the benefits of competition to federal government users nationwide," said Sandra Bates newly appointed Commissioner of GSA's Federal Technology Service. "We are pleased that the industry has chosen to respond to our program by competing vigorously, and are also pleased that we have been able to expand the community of successful contractors participating in the program."
As part of the its program strategy, FTS has incorporated competition-enhancing terms in its MAA and FTS2001 (long-distance) telecommunications contracts, including price management mechanisms and technology refreshment provisions. These are meant to ensure not only that the prices paid by federal government users remain current with the best available in the marketplace, but that the types of services offered remain current with industry trends as well.
"These latest awards highlight the positive role that GSA is playing in stimulating the development of viable local telecommunications service competition in the industry," said GSA Administrator David J. Barram. "We believe that this will ultimately benefit both government and non-government users."
For more MAA program specific information, please refer to the GSA FTS website at www.gsa.gov/MAA, or call the MAA Program Director, Larry Hazzard at (703) 610-2823.

Hello everyone... First post...
I'm looking for some help with setting up a softap using airbase and ip masquerading. I'm not trying to set up an 'evil ap' just something that can actually be used as an access point for sharing an aircard connection with multiple laptops in my vacinity. I think I'm having a hard time getting the ip address masquerading, and the internet connection sharing between the tap at0 and rndis0. Not sure where I'm going wrong. I have googled a ton but can't find anything that can bridge the gap of my limited knowledge.
Hardware: Atheros ath9k on wlan0 (can't recall exact model at the moment, but works with the aircrack-ng suite on everything)
Aircard is on rndis0 --> I have installed usb-rndis-lite and can get the rndis0 interface up using the command 'ifup rndis0' this is the connection I'm trying to get my soft ap from airbase-ng to use
Code I've ran so far (unsuccessfully):
# airmon-ng start wlan0
That makes the interface mon0 in monitor mode
# airbase-ng -c 1 -e "whatever" -W 1 -w "1234567890" -z 1 mon0
23:21:07 Created tap interface at0
23:21:07 Trying to set MTU on at0 to 1500
23:21:08 Access Point with BSSID 00:26:5E:F4:62:33 started.
Then once the client accesses using WEP "1234567890":
23:26:38 Client 00:21:5D:F2:26:E8 associated (WEP) to ESSID: "whatever"
23:26:55 Client 00:21:5D:F2:26:E8 associated (WEP) to ESSID: "whatever"
23:26:55 Client 00:21:5D:F2:26:E8 associated (WEP) to ESSID: "whatever"
For the rndis0 interface I get the following (from a seperate 'konsole'):
# ifup rndis0

if-up.d/mountnfs[rndis0]: waiting for interface ath0 before doing NFS mounts
if-up.d/mountnfs[rndis0]: waiting for interface wlan0 before doing NFS mounts
Then i tried some code I got off some other posts (this is where I think I'm off on the wrong path)Airbase-ng and bridging soft ap to ethernet This may not be related to the bt4 config and my wireless rndis0 config with my syntax?!?!
# echo '1' > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o at0 -s 192.168.77.103 -j MASQUERADE
When I see what the associated client's IP is, it looks like it was assigned ip address 169.254.XX.XX. Not sure where it got that one from or if it's leftover from my home internet connection. Either way I'm at a loss on how to get the access point tap at0 to assign an ip address and then bridge the connection to rndis0. Any thoughts from the gurus would help. Thanks in advance for any spooning/schooling that you are willing to give.

YouTube DUI confessor sentenced
(Columbus)- The man who confessed in an online video to causing a deadly wrong-way crash after a night of heavy drinking has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison.
Cordle pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide in September.
Matthew Cordle, 22 of Powell, also pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He will be on parole for three years after his sentence is served.
Attorneys for Cordle said he wanted to plead guilty to make good on his pledge to accept responsibility for the June 22 crash on I-670.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien sought the maximum 8 1/2 years, saying Cordle never said he was sorry.
Cordle's attorneys said he only wanted a "fair sentence." Franklin County Common Please Judge David Fais calls the sentence "appropriate".
In a video posted on YouTube and viewed more than two million times, Cordle admits he killed a man and says he "made a mistake'' when he decided to drive.
O'Brien laughed off the claim in the video by Cordle that his attorneys could probably have gotten him off without the video confession.
"We had a slam dunk case," said O'Brien. "The suggestion by him in the video that he had talked with lawyers who said he could beat the case is nonsense."
Cordle was described as combative and uncooperative in the hospital after the crash.
Judge Fais questioned Cordle extensively last month on his motives for changing the plea to guilty. Cordle answered that he understood what he was doing and the penalty he might face.
Fais then asked Cordle about the hours leading up to the crash that killed Vincent Canzani. Cordle told the judge that he had been at "bars on Park Street" that night, but didn't remember much about what happened.
"I drank so much I was blacked out, your honor," Cordle said.
He agreed with Fais' description as a night of binge drinking.
Cordle's blood alcohol level was .191 when his blood was drawn in the emergency room. He doesn't have any prior felony convictions.
