Unemployed Utah Man Offers His Body as Target Practice
Desperate times really do call for desperate measures. It's one thing to be far along in your career, and have the extraordinary circumstances of a financial downturn lead to the loss of your job; if you're lucky, the contacts you've built might present you with a new professional opportunity.
At least there's hope. But for a generation entering the workforce amid the worst economic climate in 80 years, the story's not quite the same.
They don't have the same established credibility to fall back on. Instead, they are forced to think beyond the corporate jobs listings, and must resort to more creative tracks. But few have gone as far as the man who goes by the name, Mork Encino. Or as far as he says he's willing to go.
The 28-year old Utah resident has created a website called, "Huntme4sport.com." His enterprise, as the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports, is to allegedly offer his own body as target practice for well-heeled hunters.
The pricetag? $10,000. (An additional $2,000 is charged if the shooter wants to practice on a naked Encino.) For the target himself, the risks pale in comparison to the potential payout.
"I do like to think I have some tricks up my sleeve," Encino said during an interview with US 99.5, which bills itself as "America's Country Station. "But certainly the advantage is with the hunter."
While Encino goes on to note in the interview with the radio station that his mother is not too pleased with the "hubbub" over his cottage industry; it is that very attention to which he is hitching his star.
Embracing the mantra, "there's no such thing as bad press," Encino hopes that his experience on the firing line will lead to a more conventional job. In an interview with AOL Jobs, he even concedes his hope is for the public attention to allow him to avoid actually having to follow through.
"I'm still holding out hope for something a little bit better than getting blown away," he writes via e-mail. "Maybe thats foolish of me. I have received several inquiries of varying levels of sincerity."
But by the metric of Internet hits, the campaign is working. He's already been written up in newspapers including the Daily Mail in addition to websites including deadspin.com and Brotherhood of Slaughter.
On Brotherhood of Slaughter, Encino posts his manifesto, in which he aims to inject an air of both levity and gravity into his endeavor.
"I seek hearty gents who fancy themselves sportsmen and bored of the usual game. I am a new breed of prey with thick pelt and smooth hide. I'm faster than a wild turkey, smart as any GODDAMN wild boar and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the monetary health of my family," he writes.
But his story is illustrative of the plight of the young and unemployed. Americans aged 20 to 24, the demographic category used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are currently experiencing an unemployment rate of 14.5 percent, more than five points above the national average. And as many observers, such as the scholars at the Economic Policy Institute have noted, the long-term danger lies in the creation of a new "lost generation." The longer that proper entry into the workforce is put off, the challenge of establishing a career only grows greater.
Indeed, the outlook of such a scenario is far bleaker than a mere cyclical delay for the young workers themselves, argues Don Peck, in his essay, "How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America," published in the March 2010, issue of the Atlantic.
"If it persists much longer, this era of high joblessness will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults -- and quite possibly those of the children behind them as well. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar white men -- and on white culture," he wrote. "It could change the nature of modern marriage, and also cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a kind of despair and dysfunction not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years."
Indeed, figuring out whether Mr. Encino is for real or not is besides the point. What his publicity campaign proves more than anything is just how high the stakes are.

Bethenny Frankel Takes Bryn to the Circus
Enjoying a mommy-daughter day of fun, Bethenny Frankel took Bryn to the "Big Apple Circus" in New York City on Thursday (December 20).
The Skinny Girl entrepreneur wore a white winter coat, olive pants, and black boots while her 2-year-old girl looked adorable in her bright pink coat and matching boots.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, on Wednesday (December 19) the talk show host joined daytime colleague Ellen Degeneres to talk about gift-giving.
Explaining the importance of the act Miss Frankel said, "So I think you just have to put a little bit of thought into it, and there are so many great creative gifts. And the way you wrap something, just opening up a present gets you so excited."

text: Readers occasionally ask us if we have information on the photos or letters we show in our articles. Unfortunately, for the most part, we don't. "Many of our old photos have come from antiques stores and flea markets," says our editor, Allison Stacy. "We used to have a photo stylist go out and buy props for us—kind of like a mystery shopper." So where do we get all the stuff we show in Family Tree Magazine?Without a stylist these days, we have to get a little creative in finding props, and we aren't too proud to scavenge. "I brought home copies of some documents and burned the edges of them on my patio one night for a photo shoot" for a story about burned courthouses, says our art director, Kathy DeZarn. "The next morning on my way to work I spotted a bunch of charred wood and broken bricks from a house fire just a few blocks from my home. It was just too good to pass up."Kathy got the Mason jars in the May 2008 History Matters from her aunt's basement, and "the boxes of stuff I inherited when my parents died has been the source for all sorts of letters, photos and stuff including one (I only found one) of the shoes my mom wore on her wedding day."Managing editor Diane Haddad's grandmother's purse and burgundy dress have been in photo shoots for the magazine, as have various family pictures. My own parents happen to have a house full of antiques and ephemera, which comes in very handy! That's a picture from their living room below. (The telephone, directory and telegraph key in the "Getting the Message" article in the January 2009 issue pictured above came from them.)

Foul play suspected after detective finds body in Mt. Pleasant
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Foul play is suspected after a detective discovered a body in Mount Pleasant.
According to Major Jim Brady, the body was discovered just off of McGrath Darby Boulevard around 8:30 Monday night just down from a power station.
A host of agencies, including the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, Mount Pleasant police and the Charleston County Coroner, filled the area just steps away from the Arthur Ravenel Bridge.
Officials said a detective found the body while searching the area as part of an on-going investigation. Brady declined to comment on any information about which case the body may be related to.
"We are trying to determine the circumstances of the body being found here, and the Coroner's office is assisting us with that," Major Brady said.
Officials on scene tell News 2 that crews will be working the scene throughout the night.

P&T Digest: Dry Eye Syndrome
John D. Sheppard, MD, Chief Medical Editor
The understanding of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), also known as Chronic Dry Eye Disease or Dry Eye Syndrome, has changed dramatically in recent years. Until the late 1990s, KCS was thought to have been due to aqueous insufficiency. Today, KCS is understood to be a multifactorial disease that also involves inflammation of the ocular surface and lacrimal gland, neurotrophic deficiency, and meibomian dysfunction. Delay in treatment may cause disease of the ocular surface. The American Academy of Ophthalmology, in November 2003, released guidelines for treatment that recognizes these contributing factors to the epidemiology of KCS and provides evidence-based guidelines for treatment. This collection of review articles places the etiology of KCS, the AAO recommendations, and the most recent advances in treatment in perspective for practitioners, MCOs, and physicians and pharmacists who serve on pharmacy and therapeutic committees.

text: For the first time since she was admitted to the hospital and for the first time since she announced she was pregnant, Kate Middleton made an official appearance somewhere. It was with David Beckham (of course) to present the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year Award. Apparently Kate is still really sick and did not think she could make a lengthy appearance anywhere but that somehow she managed to summon up the fortitude to spend an hour or two with David Beckham. Kate is pregnant right? This is not just a hoax because she looks exactly the same as she always has. Maybe her face is a little fuller?

More for modesty and style than to brave the elements designers created a wide range of bridal cover-ups from a short lace shrug to a 3D organza bolero to a lace overcoat.
One of our favorite designs is the cape or capelet, a lace or tulle over the head accessory that just covers the shoulders and decolletage and features a bridal button closure.
Our top cover-up picks were a cape with tulle and silver beading by Alvina Valenta and a lace blouse which goes under the dress by Carolina Herrera.
Here's a gallery of the variety of cover-up styles you'll find in bridal salons in 2012.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by viman96, Jan 13, 2013.
How so? Romo also won a playoff game. He just doesn't have a nickname.
What's a chocker?
The kickers warmup before the game and the coaches make note of the distance they have. Longwell just didn't have that kind of leg.
Glad that Atlanta won, but only because I hate coaches icing the kickers. It's so bush league, just let them kick and let the cards fall where they may.
Must mean a QB good enough to win but without a supporting cast.
This loss is on Carrol. You never leave 34 seconds on the clock. They had 3 timeouts and didn't have to score that quickly. This icing the kicker is just plain stupid and in this instance cost them the game.
Once the timeout was called I don't think the kicker was even trying. Looked like he just went thru with the kick to loosen up and didn't worry bout knocking it thru
another word for LOSER
I think they reacted to the Denver game. The safeties played off 50 yards. Left giant holes in the middle.
Why are people making a big deal about the timeout before the FG? Bryant knew the timeout was coming, everyone stopped playing. The snapper just snapped it and he took a nonchalant practice kick.
Which would be dumb. They needed a field goal, not a TD.
I'm wishing for a Harbaugh SB but I doubt that happens.
I figured that would go over your head.
And I'm surprised you didn't spell it looser
Just switch your screen name to "chocker" and all will be fine.
Statistics show icing the kicker doesn't work. Having said that, I don't think Bryant put much effort into his first kick after hearing the whistle. Looked like he hesitated and then gave it a nonchalant effort.
Russell Wilson is the man... My new favorite QB in the NFL.
People are making a big deal because he still called it and coaches should just let the kick take it's course..

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
MILL CREEK — A man suspected of trying to outrun police and a Mill Creek officer trying to stop him were injured Friday morning after a fiery crash at an intersection near Mill Creek.
The officer, who has been on the Mill Creek force for two years, was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett where he was treated and released.
"He's fine," Mill Creek officer Ian Durkee said. "He just sustained minor injuries. He's home with his family."
The suspect — an Everett man, 52 — also was taken to Providence. His condition was not immediately available, but his injuries reportedly were not life threatening. A Lake Stevens woman, 29, was his passenger. She was taken to Swedish/Edmonds hospital for a medical evaluation.
Mountlake Terrace police first tried to pull over a 1994 Jeep Cherokee on I-5 near 220th Street SW, but the driver wouldn't stop.
The Jeep wound up driving through Mill Creek.
The injured officer was looking for a spot to deploy spike strips when a collision occurred between the police car and suspect's vehicle. The crash happened at the intersection of 35th Avenue SE and 180th Street SE about 1:20 a.m.
The officer's emergency lights were on, Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis said.
"The exact dynamics of the collision are still under investigation," Francis said.
Mountlake Terrace police will determine what allegations the suspect will face, Durkee said.
After the collision, the Jeep hit the curb, vaulted into the air, struck a power pole and landed on its side before catching fire.
It could have been worse.
"Fortunately the officer wasn't T-boned," Durkee said.
The patrol car received front-end damage.

As you may know, raised feeding dishes are much better for cats. A raised dish can help keep cats from throwing up after eating, plus older or arthritic cats have an easier time eating from a raised dish. Classy Cat Dishes are some of the most unique and functional raised cat feeders I've come across. These one piece, ceramic raised dishes are very sturdy (the pedestal weighs more than the dish so they don't tip or slide), plus they are dishwasher and microwave save and they are made with lead free glazes.
Classy Cat Dishes come in two different styles, a very shallow bowl for fresh or canned food measuring 6″ across, and a deeper bowl for dry food or water measuring 5″ across. Both styles have scooped sides and turned rims, a unique feature that makes it easier for pets to pick up the food without pushing it over the side.
The feeders are available in six designer colors: Teal Green, Eggshell White, Cobalt Blue, Frost Grey, Solid Glossy Caviar Black, and Gossamer Pink.
They sent us some dishes to test and everyone loves them. They really are sturdy and easy to clean, plus the food stays in the bowl, which is a great feature!
One lucky reader is going to win a pair of Classy Cat Dishes! The winner will get to choose the style and color. To enter, please leave a comment on this post telling us what style and color you'd choose. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on April 17, 2012. One entry per person. This giveaway is open to readers in the US and Canada, plus Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Scours, pneumonia, then a bout of coccidiosis at weaning; she is just a "poor doer" is often what I hear. Even the best calf-management programs have some challenging disease cases. Often, individual calves that are unthrifty and have multiple diseases are a result of colostrum feeding issues (passive transfer) or a difficult birth. But let's not forget the calf persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhea (BVD).
There are many other signs of disease that should also make us consider BVD infection. Abortions, pneumonia, diarrhea, early embryonic death and overall immune suppression are other commons findings with BVD infection.
In most herds, a complete vaccination program, including BVD vaccinations, will prevent disease from this virus. Certain vaccines also aid in preventing the reproductive losses we can see from BVD. This, along with the fact that the incidence of PI infection is less than 2 percent, often puts BVD lower on the list of diseases to consider.
ID the PI's
Persistent infection with BVD occurs in the developing calf when a cow is infected with the virus before 125 days of gestation. Prior to this time, the fetal immune system cannot recognize the virus as foreign. The virus then incorporates into the fetus.
When the immune system develops, it takes a survey of what is already there and assumes it is part of the calf or "self." The immune system develops without attacking the virus because it was already part of the calf. In some instances, the virus can also kill the fetus and cause an abortion or cause a developmental defect, such as a malformation of the brain or eyes.
The major concern with BVD PI animals is that these calves shed virus continuously from all of their secretions and excretions (saliva, mucous, urine, manure and eventually milk) exposing other cattle to the virus. In many cases, the PI BVD calf is unthrifty and susceptible to other diseases. But, in other cases, this PI calf may appear completely normal.
How do PI calves get into a herd? Most commonly, it happens via the purchase of herd replacements that have not been tested for BVD.
For example, a springing heifer may be purchased that is a PI animal, but appears normal and healthy. This is possible, but less likely, given many PI animals succumb to other diseases prior to entering the adult herd.
The other common means is that the purchased heifer carries a PI calf. This heifer will test negative for BVD because she was infected at some point during gestation; the disease ran its course (which could have been very mild in a vaccinated animal) and the virus cleared. But it was incorporated into the developing fetus, creating a PI offspring. Think of these springing heifers as the Trojan horse that allows an infected animal to enter the herd.
Prevention is key
Discuss a BVD vaccination and control program with your veterinarian. The specifics of a program will vary depending on your herd history and if you are a "closed" herd or not. It is important to have a complete vaccination program which includes the use of modified-live BVD vaccines prior to breeding in both heifers and adult cows.
It is also important to have a BVD testing program which not only involves testing purchased replacements but also the testing of any offspring that will remain on the farm soon after birth. We are often good at testing replacements prior to arrival or soon after purchase as this is a simple procedure. But testing the offspring is often the weak link in the protocol that allows the Trojan horse success in spreading disease.
Although the incidence of this disease has declined dramatically due to good vaccination programs, don't forget to consider BVD infection especially in those "poor doer" calves.

Officially announcing that mBlast is now a Plugged In to Gnip partner (which we've just done in this sentence) is especially exciting because of a particular kind of analysis they specialize in – called resonance tracking – that they'll be able to do on this announcement!
As a leader in the social media analytics space that is helping companies understand the trajectory of social conversations, it makes sense to include mBLAST among Gnip's growing group of partners. Companies who are Plugged In are driving innovation in the social media ecosystem through their products and emphasis on incorporating multiple social media sources into their analysis. One of the ways mBLAST is defining social media analytics is through their development of resonance tracking, a variation on influencer tracking with some distinctly different capabilities. Effective resonance tracking necessitates the monitoring of multiple different platforms, which piqued our interest on the topic.
Wouldn't we all like to stop a rumor in it's tracks — or at least have a good idea of who started it? Knowing how a story perpetuates across the social sphere and who is responsible for influencing those moves is a valuable tool for companies and brands. If you can pinpoint which of your fans, or critics for that matter, is talking about you the loudest, with the most influence, and in which channels, you can directly address the message.
mBLAST has measured resonance within the analytics applied to social, blog and media data tracked in their mPACT platform for literally millions of stories. All of this tracking and measurement has lead to some pretty interesting observations which mBLAST will be releasing in a whitepaper in September titled, "Social Intelligence: The Role of Resonance". The more we learned about resonance tracking and the many ways it can be applied to everyday customer service, marketing, and public relations scenario, the more we couldn't wait to spread the word on just how relevant a tool it is. So we put together a short summary of their resonance tracking whitepaper to give you a sneak peek — focusing on how resonance differs from more traditional influencer tracking and why it is a key part of social media analytics.
So, how does resonance differ from traditional influencer tracking? A couple of ways, but probably the most significant is that it allows companies to identify which individuals are the most influential in a specific channel for a specific story and how that story is jumping from platform to platform. For example, a story about a CPG brand starts on a blog post and then hops from the blog post to Twitter and then to Facebook, etc. Perhaps the conversation is false or the product contents are reflected inaccurately. Whatever the case may be, the CPG company likely wants to engage with the people, and in the channels, where it will do the most to shape the conversation and protect the company's reputation. Both can be done using resonance tracking.
We're psyched to have mBLAST in Plugged In and look forward to working together. And we'll be excited to track the resonance on this announcement!
If resonance tracking gets you excited or you want to know more, check out this webinar on the topic on September 12.

maybe something like this Power Meter ?
Are there any tools that can tell you how much power a pc is using? I really dont want to go through the process of trying to lookup the power requirements on all these components. I currently have a power supply that works fine, but is too small for the case. And they say size doesn't matter!
"You're only smoke and mirrors..."
You can use either Powertop (from intel, works best on laptops), or one of those meters that sit between your power socket and pc's plug.
Powertop is linux only though, and measures power usage at that time, so you may want to run some stresstesters to get your PC under full load.
Thanks for the replies.

Tuesday, October 11 2011 - 9/11 Consequences
The murder of Americans: Existence of secret kill lists now admitted by lawless White House
October 11, 2011
"American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials. There is no public record of the operations or decisions of the panel, which is a subset of the White House's National Security Council, several current and former officials said. Neither is there any law establishing its existence or setting out the rules by which it is supposed to operate." (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011...)
If that sounds like a report you'd usually read on NaturalNews or InfoWars.com, that's because we're usually the first to report on true conspiracies that exist in the corrupt, criminal government running rampant across America today. But this particular assassination conspiracy was so outrageous -- and so illegal -- that even Reuters had to cover it (to their credit, by the way).
The existence of this secret "kill list" means the U.S. government can now decide, completely outside of law, to brazenly murder any person it wishes. And this is all apparently A-OK with President Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner!
I wonder if the Nobel Peace Prize committee will consider revoking its peace prize from a recipient who now operates as part of a secret "kill list" murder squad. If not, then we ought to just rename the whole thing the Nobel Murder Prize, huh?
Orwell said it best: War is peace! Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength...
ABC News even went to bat on this issueReuters wasn't alone, by the way, in questioning the White House justification for this murder. ABC News Reporter Jake Tapper also had some hard-hitting questions for White House Press Secretary Jay Carney about the legal justification (ha!) for this killing of an American-born man.
Watch the jaw-dropping exchange between Jake Tapper and Jay Carney in the following video link. This will give you a deep (and disturbing) understanding of the astonishing lawlessness that has taken hold in America, where the term due process means absolutely nothing and the President's men can now simply order the murder of anyone he wants, for any reason, without presenting even a shred of evidence to support such actions:
The full transcript of this exchange is found below.
The quagmire of murderous governmentHow many laws and rights has President Obama violated in this executive murder of an American citizen?
Let's see: There are federal laws against murder. There are two amendments in the Bill of Rights that protect due process. There is an executive order on the books banning assassinations. Plus, there's is God's law (or natural law) under which the unjustified murder of another human being is a severe violation.
But the Obama administration says murder is right only as long as the U.S. government does it. This is equivalent to arguing that the King's word is law because the King says it is, which implies that the King is gifted some supernatural authority which the People themselves do not possess. And that stands in complete violation of the very founding principles of our nation which exists on the commonsense premise that All Men Are Created Equal -- i.e. there is no "King" among us whose actions or intentions are immune from the scrutiny of law.
Don't misunderstand me in all this: I'm not saying the target of all this -- Anwar al-Awlaki -- is innocent. But the point is that we don't really KNOW who is innocent or guilty until evidence is presented and a person has their day in court. One of the most fundamental principles of Common Law is that those accused of crimes may face their accusers and see the evidence presented against them. This is guaranteed under U.S. law as well as the Bill of Rights. Yet President Obama -- who has also seen fit to continue Bush's torture regime at Gitmo -- apparently believes all those laws and rights do not apply to the government itself. The King again, remember?
Friends, this is the very definition of tyranny. You are staring it in the face. Secret kill lists? Really? Why not just roll in the Stasi secret police or Nazi SS? This is how it starts: First the killing is "only" for real enemies. And then it's for political enemies. Then it's for journalists, entrepreneurs and academics... until you end up with a total police state tyranny where the government itself is held back by nothing other than the whims and fetishes of its own tyrants who operate under the delusion that they are granted power over the common people by God himself. This is what all kings and tyrants throughout world history have believed, by the way.
Jake Tapper from ABC News stood up to Carney over all this. That's why he asked these pointed questions which Jay Carney flippantly dismissed, almost as if to say, "How dare the slaves ask their King to explain his actions!"
We are about to lose the Republic to total tyrannyThat's where things are in America today: Your rights have been overrun. The laws that were once meticulously constructed to place limits on the government itself have been utterly abandoned by that government even as the complacent People watched and did nothing for far too long.
Tyrants in the government today now run surveillance on raw milk distribution centers (http://www.naturalnews.com/033822_K...), threaten home gardeners with prison time (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_J...) and bring guns to the front steps of innocent moms to force their children to take psychiatric medications (http://www.naturalnews.com/032091_M...). Government now murders Americans using secret kill lists, and then does not even feel it has any obligation whatsoever to present any evidence at all supporting its actions!
If there are no limits on this government power, and the government itself willfully violates the law at every opportunity, then where do you suppose this is all headed? It can only end with the total concentration of power into the hands of tyrants. If you disagree with that, I ask you: What will stop that from happening? Huh? What will stop it?
The zombies in Atlanta sure won't stop it. They're too engaged in their hypnotic collectivist chant to think for themselves (http://www.naturalnews.com/033830_O...). The Democrats and Republicans sure won't stop it. They all worship Big Government, after all, because that's from where they both draw their power. And the executive branch of the government itself won't stop it -- they're the ones who gain power from all this tyranny!
There is no one who can stop this other that We the People -- People who take to the streets and resist tyranny, speak out against criminality in the government, and nip at the heels of tyrants at every opportunity.
Run the tyrants out of town, I say. Demand the restoration of our Republic, which means that ALL MEN (and woman) must abide by the same laws and recognize the same rights of others. There are no exceptions to these rules. Those who violate them are operating outside the law and are therefore criminals who should be arrested and prosecuted.
Mark my words, friends: If we allow our own government to run a secret kill list targeting "guilty" Americans, then it won't be long before we find ourselves on it.
There are times in history when the criminality of the government is so outrageous, and so inexcusable, that it is not merely the right but the duty of the People to intervene and restore the rule of law upon those who falsely believe they are above it.

GSA Offers Capital Planning for IT Investments Training
April 3, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden
(202) 501-1231; firstname.lastname@example.com
In the interest of improving financial decision-making in the federal government, a series of laws have been enacted, such as the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996, which require agencies to apply sound financial planning and investment techniques to the development of IT strategies and to the acquisition and management of IT systems.
The U.S. General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) today announced it is offering a series of Information Technology Capital Planning Courses for federal IT managers and specialists starting April 17. Information covered will include capital planning tools and techniques, the use of capital planning in IT programs, and the legislation that requires its use in IT management.
"We have conducted two workshops on capital planning for IT investments," said OGP capital planning program manager Richard Kellett. "More than 200 people from 50 federal agencies and bureaus attended."
One thing that became very apparent during these workshops Kellett said was that while the government is working hard to implement the requirements of ITMRA and related legislation, there is a widespread need among federal IT specialists for focused training in "best practices" for capital planning principles and techniques. "This is new to the government," he said, "and GSA is going to do all it can to help agencies in this important initiative."
GSA has scheduled courses from April through September 1997. Starting April 17, GSA in conjunction with the LEADS Corporation will offer one to three-day workshops on IT Capital Planning Basics, Comprehensive Capital Planning, IT Project Management, IT Portfolio Planning and Federal IT Planning Policy
For program information contact Richard Kellett at (202) 501-1650 or firstname.lastname@example.com. To register or for additional course information, call the LEADS Corporation at (703) 769-5650 or e-mail to email@example.com. On-line registration is available at www.leadscorp.com. The contract number you should reference is BPA# CAFP-BPA-97-0048 and these are listed under GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS-35F-4465G.
Kellett said by implementing the financial management practices learned through this series of courses, agency IT managers and specialists will be able to significantly improve the acquisition, use and disposal of IT systems, plus analyze, track and evaluate the risks and results of their investment decisions. "This is very much in line with the Government Performance and Results Act," he said.
The GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) was established in December 1996. The creation of this office separates governmentwide policy from GSA service operations and consolidates policy-making, planning, and evaluation for information technology as well as other areas of responsibility. The mission of OGP is to work with the federal community to establish governmentwide policies that maximize the effectiveness of federal employees and government assets, minimize costs, and ensure fairness.

Sessions will take place from 5:45 - 7 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays in Gambrell Hall auditorium from Oct. 19 through Nov. 18.
"Authors love 'Caught in the Creative Act,' which has led to its reputation as one of the best authors series around," Hospital said. "Both E.L. Doctorow and Richard Ford, who are both used to huge audiences, said they had never experienced, as authors, anything as thrilling as the 'Caught in the Creative Act' audience, where everyone had read and thought about their books and had prepared pleasingly fresh and provocative questions for them."
The course is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Proof of registration is required for entrance. Because of the popularity of the authors, early arrival is encouraged.
To register for upcoming sessions, send name and address to Janette Turner Hospital by mail, email or fax.

New Braufels Teacher Receives Statewide Award
An 8th grade language arts teacher in
On Friday, Shannon Duffy, a teacher at
Congressman Lamar Smith was in attendance to give Duffy her $5,000 award and present the school with a $500 award to be spend on students.
"I was nominated by a student I had two to three years ago," Duffy said. This type of recognition is an affirmation that some of the things I'm doing in the classroom matter to my kids, years later."
Duffy, who's teaching style is to teach kids how to think; instead of what to think, says she does not think teaching to standardized test is the right way to approach teaching.
"On the first day of school, I want to learn as much about their goals as I can," Duffy said. "because my goal is to put each one of them further toward their goals… and when they see that that's authentic they will work so hard for you."
As for her $5,000 reward, she plans on using it on something practical.
"For a teacher, that's a lot of money…. But I think I'm going to put hardwood floors in the entire first floor of my house," Duffy said laughing.

The best educational experiences happen when students and faculty interact closely and often. In the Biology Department at Coe, those interactions start in the very first semester and continue for four years. Our program provides an early introduction to experimental design and use of instrumentation to investigate properties of cells and organisms. In May Term and during the summer, you will be able to engage in research projects or participate in intensive courses on or off campus.
Faculty in the department know students by name, are aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and provide the kind of mentoring and encouragement that students need to fully develop their skills and career interests. All but one course in the biology department includes laboratory work where you learn how the science is done. Laboratory sections in all courses are limited to 18 students and are taught by biology faculty rather than by teaching assistants.
Coe's well-established Health and Science Internship program offers students an opportunity to spend May Term working in a medical setting or in an industrial laboratory. The Cedar Rapids area offers many employment opportunities where students can use their laboratory training to gain valuable work experience.
Coe biology students may work one on one with faculty, in honors and independent study work or in research participation.
Preparing for Success
At Coe you will be offered many opportunities that include the following:
- Construct cDNA libraries through the manipulation of RNA, DNA using various genetic engineering technologies
- Participate in the analysis and publications of sequence data using Bioinformatic software
- Evaluate the impact of agricultural practices on water quality and benthic plants and animals
- Investigate ecological and behavioral interactions of mantispids and their spider hosts
- Study endangered animal populations
- Extract, purify, and characterize proteins using various column chromatography and electrophoresis strategies
- Participate in Earthwatch expeditions with a Coe professor
- Learn about specific medical professions firsthand while on an internship at a hospital, clinic or office
- Study interesting subjects in-depth during May Term such as bioinformatics, environmental ecology, immunology and urban ecology
- Participate in a summer session at the Coe College Field Station near the Boundary Waters canoe area in Northern Minnesota
- Spend a spring term studying tropical biology in Costa Rica
- Participate in summer undergraduate research programs at major universities or research centers (such as Baylor University, Mayo Clinic, University of California at Berkeley, University of Iowa, University of Chicago)
- Specialize in environmental science or molecular biology with a collateral major

A Love That Multiplies ~ The Duggar's New Book

I make some people very happy with my blog posts on this family and get flames from others. Such is life!!

49 Character Qualities of the Duggars: A Report Card

Or is what we're seeing just a set of normal people striving within a very difficult way of living?This post examines the Duggars' own lives within the paradigm they themselves endorse. Given that we only see what our televisions allow us to-- does what we can see, reflect the image held up to us? And if it does not, how can we be sure about what we can't see?No one expects the Duggars to be perfect. But that is not the question.

Debt-Free Duggars ~ Pt. 1: How Quiverfull Couples Support All Those Kids!
by HopewellThe Duggar Income Stream [minus TLC] Before TLC and their reality TV show offer came on the scene, Jim-Bob and Michelle Duggar were already on their way to financial security—a situation not normally found in homes with no college-educated adult. But, like the people profiled in the book the Millionaire Next Door, Jim-Bob and Michelle have always lived BELOW their means and have always had common sense about purchases. They also share a vision for the type of family life they wanted to lead. While Jim-Bob did hold a job, and a mortgage, at the time they married he soon realized this was not a sensible way to live.

NLQ FAQ: Are Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar "Quiverfull"?
by HopewellQ: Are the Duggars Quiverfull?By their own admission, Jim-Bob and Michelle were so "grieved" after reading the information pamphlet in a birth control pill package that they turned their fertility over to God. ("About Us" para.1 See also, Dallas News). That decision has been the reason for their incredible family size of 19 children.Recently the media has offered several profiles of just who are "Quiverfull" families.Increasingly, the presence of such large, ideologically driven families is being documented through the medium of the age: reality TV shows and lifestyle cable channel specials, all of which campily depict Quiverfull life as like regular motherhoood, but a … [Read more...]

Hello! i got this problem with " http://x.xxx.xxx.x/register.php " ( x stands for numbers from Ip address )And i want to hide or put a mask because i get ddosed day by day.
This is a " sample " of my script:

If anyone know what i must do! because in View page source it's showing my IP . THere it isn't any way to work on this... or to make a protection .
I am new to this and to tell the truth i am lost... can sameone help me with advices / tutorials how to do it... or do something so i can stop people ddosing me. I mention that is a server...
Sorry if i post it in worng section.
Hiding the IP is not going to solve your problem.Protecting yourself from a Denial of Service attack requires protection on the network level.
And how i am going to get do that?Any advices?
Talk to your hosting provider about their firewall options and ability to track / block the attack before it hits your server.
You could use CloudFlare to protect you to a certain extent. But if you really need some proper DDoS Protection its gonna cost you some cash you could speak to BlackLotus and see what they can offer you.
Is it a real DDoS (your server under sufficiently heavy load on this page that it ceases to function properly) or is it just a case that your registration page is attracting a lot of false registrations?
Well ... my server is in rank 1-10 and because we keep in rank people is ddosing me and everytime i need to go under maint so i can fix it and change the if of the updater... and to put the server in maint like 3-5 times per day... it is way to much... i need to cllean junk stuff that they put on it and other stuff.. i think that people that were ddosed know much more than me.. i am still a beginer in these things and it's taking time to fix all back... but i am doing it.. So now i was looking for a way to hide or do something so i can keep out these annoying people that don't have anything else and good to do...
Oh! And yes EastCoast it is a
" real DDoS (your server under sufficiently heavy load on this page that it ceases to function properly) "
Anyway! Thank you all for all the information till now. Apreciate it.
Are they saturating your network connection, or overloading web server resources (cpu, memory, disk i/o)? If the latter, and depending on how strong the attack is and your application structure, you may be able to avoid the effects by some server optimisation e.g switching to a more effective web server software like nginx, and putting a caching proxy on the front, database optimisation.
Sometimes they overload the server resources, and other times they saturating my connection.
How diverse is the ip range attacking, and do you have access to firewall resources external to your server?
Well it's the biggest attack i have ever seen using 126.96.36.199-188.8.131.52220.127.116.11 - 188.8.131.52 and so on.Biggest i seen using 220.127.116.11-184.108.40.206 or something close. And about firewall i don't know.
Consider that range as bogus. Remember, a DDOS isn't waiting for a response, it's merely trying to overwhelm the server and handling responses would merely slow its attack.
