An Era Comes to an End for the Lions
SAINT LEO, Fla. – After 10 years and over 100 wins Saint Leo University head men's basketball coach Mike Madagan has announced that he will be stepping aside after the Lions' February 24th contest against Barry University.
The first and only head basketball coach hired in the University-era at Saint Leo, Madagan has compiled an overall record of 103-183 with two games remaining in his final season, one which has already seen the Lions eliminated from postseason contention. His tenure at Saint Leo has seen him recognize three freshman of the year and six all-conference selections within the Sunshine State Conference.
"This has been a difficult, but ultimately rewarding past few days, weeks, and actually months now for me as I pondered resigning from my position as Head Basketball Coach at Saint Leo University," Madagan said when announcing his decision. "For nearly thirty years I focused my energies and passion on being the best basketball coach I could become. It was how I strived to define myself. Humbly I now understand that failure is an incredible teacher. As a result I have learned many valuable lessons, especially about me. I finally find peace in knowing that God has a plan for all of us, and as we yield to Him we gain so much in every way."
It was a tough realization for Madagan, who has been a fixture within the Sunshine State Conference and the Florida basketball scene since his arrival to then-Saint Leo College prior to the 1989 season as an assistant under Mike Gillespie. Madagan's decision was also a tough dose of reality for those within the SLU Department of Athletics, including Director of Athletics Fran Reidy.
"Coach Madagan embodies all of the values we hold paramount at Saint Leo," said Reidy. "His players grew as people and leaders, were retained and graduated, and contributed to our university community in many facets under his leadership. We are grateful to Mike for his years of service and the positive impact he has had on many young men during their time at Saint Leo."
Grooming great students in addition to talented athletes, Madagan was ultimately not able to put the pieces together on the court, only finishing in the top-half of the SSC in one season at Saint Leo (4th/2005).
"I have been given every opportunity and resource needed to be successful at Saint Leo both on and off the basketball court," Madagan said. "While there were many successes and milestones achieved, we lacked the consistency the program I aspired to build needed and deserves moving forward."
Reidy replied, "I certainly envisioned more wins than we were able to achieve over the last few years, and know the lack of success in the win column was frustrating to all involved with the program, especially Coach Madagan."
In addition to his presence on the court, another aspect of a Madagan-coached team was in using every opportunity as a learning experience, whether it was in trips to Billings, Montana, Anchorage, Alaska or New York City. The second-longest serving men's basketball coach at Saint Leo always tried to expand his team's cultural diversity, from a visit to The White House all the way to a pick up baseball game with underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic.
Madagan continued, "Forever I will be indebted and grateful to (Saint Leo University President) Dr. Kirk and Mr. Reidy for the incredible opportunity they afforded me to mentor and coach so many wonderful student-athletes here. My only regret is that I did not fulfill the potential that they and others in the Saint Leo community believed I possessed when selecting me 10 years ago. Obviously none more so than the young men and their families that have trusted me as their coach.
Sadly I do not step aside with a sense of accomplishment in terms of wins and losses. However, I do believe the program is in a better place as a result of the efforts of many people who preceded me, and because of those that worked diligently alongside me during my tenure here. I strived to live, teach and instill our University's core values that I believe make Saint Leo a unique and special place. I have no doubt the program is poised to achieve new heights in the Sunshine State Conference and beyond, and look forward to what the future of Saint Leo Basketball holds."
With the departure of Madagan, Saint Leo will look to begin a nationwide search for his successor, at the same time reinventing the Saint Leo men's basketball coaching staff. For the first time, the Lions will also use an outside company to assist in the transition.
"We have retained Alden and Associates to assist us with a national search for our next head coach and will provide the new coach additional staffing and resources which are currently lacking when compared to our competitors in the Sunshine State Conference," Reidy said. "I have done an extensive review with Coach Madagan on the areas we felt hampered the program's development, and I have conducted an in-depth review of each of the programs in the Sunshine State Conference to see how we measure up in all facets – scholarships, staffing, support and facilities. We are committed to improving our basketball program in terms of wins and losses, while maintaining all the other positives surrounding it off the court."
Madagan will guide the Lions two final times as their head coach. On Wednesday evening Saint Leo will travel to St. Petersburg, Fla. and face the Eckerd College Tritons, and then will play their final game of the season on Senior Day at home against Barry University next Saturday.

Will UK Outsider show be made of 'gangster vs gangster' fights like the Japanese one? :-p
NB: The Outsider is a Japanese MMA event that lets novice fighters compete under pro rules. It was one of the infamous 'gangster' MMA events - The early events were highlighted by riots and guys jumping into the ring to kick off if their buddy got beat. I believe the rioting doesn't happen as much now though - but it's still essentially a 'gangster' event.
Enson Inoue on The Outsider/Gangster MMA:
"Well, right now the most popular of events here is now the gangster events that they have here, they have over a dozen gangster events that's happening all over Japan and this is an event, I say gangster event because they let the yakuza, they let the gangsters, they let anyone fight. They actually have guys on that day calling out people out into the ring who wants to try, like a Toughman competition but it's an organized Toughman competition and a lot of fighters who get into that they really train but there's a lot of gangsters that just think they're tough on the street, they get in the ring and they get worked really bad but I think in the next two years the stars that's going to help Mixed Martial Arts in Japan is going to be from there because these guys, I mean if you walk in there thinking you are going to see a K-1 type of kick or a perfect punch, you're going to walk out very disappointed. But if you walk in there trying to see the deeper part of the MMA fight the fact that these guys are fighting for peanuts, they're not coming out there because they're going to be put on TV or PPV, they're not coming out there because they're going to get a six-figure pay day, they're coming out there to fight for their pride, their family, their honor. And it's a whole different level — I mean, when you walk in there and you see these guys fight and you guys see looking at each other across the ring you know these guys aren't looking at how much they're going to get paid after the fight, they're not looking at how much attention they're going to get if they win, they're just in there doing it for their honor to be in a ring, man to man, one man against one man, and see who's going to come on top. It's a really different feeling in there, and I think we're going to get the biggest stars from there because these guys are hot, exciting, go out for the kill from the beginning bell to the end bell."

Waterbirth - Twisting the research evidence
Our resident midwife Jane has written a new article about Waterbirths on the main part of the Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond forum entitled: Waterbirth - Twisting the research evidence.
This has been written in response to some recent less than positive media headlines surrounding a clinical report produced this year. If you are considering a Waterbirth and are feeling confused then I think you will find the above article useful. It appears there is no reason to discount the many advantages that birthing in water brings.
Best wishes,

Rue Morgue article on Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea KingdomTuesday, March 20th, 2012
Rue Morgue recently interviewed Bruce Brown on his book, Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom and the series of books in general. Below is an excerpt from the article, plus a scan of the whole thing! Be sure to pick up a copy of the book when it comes out next Month!
"It's been a little over a year since the publication of Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom, which saw the notorious author portrayed as a six-year-old boy on adventures with his tentacled pet, Spot (a.k.a. Cthulhu). Writer Bruce Brown's aim was to craft a story that could be loved by hardcore Lovecraft fans while simultaneously introducing a new generation to the writer.
Mission accomplished. Frozen Kingdom proved to be a surprise hit and managed to attract exactly the kind of audience Brown was hoping for.
'I have heard from countless parents who loved the fact that they initially had a book they could share with their children and introduce t hem to the world of H.P. Lovecraft,' says Brown. 'Many went on to say that it is a book they wish they had when they were children.'
… Joining Brown for this outing is co-author Dwight L. MacPherson, the editor of the first book… 'It was Dwight who introduced me to the writings of Lovecraft through another project I was co-writing with him years ago,' says Brown. 'So, it was only natural that I invited him to co-write the second book.'
…Undersea Kingdom is a much darker work than the previous outing. Both Howard and Spot have to face difficult truths regarding each of their heritages and both have potentially tragic decisions to make as a result. Howard must choose between sacrificing his family or the entire universe. To make matters worse, he also has to deal with his body's bizarre and traumatic transformation into a gill man."

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to set up a virtual lab environment in a specific way and I am having trouble figuring it out, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
This is my intended setup:
- 1 Wireless router
- 1 Physical (host) machine running VirtualBox
- Several Virtual Machines networked to each other and the router but isolated from the physical host machine
Basically I'm looking to set up a lab with several VMs that are vulnerable by design but in my testing scenarios I'd like to use my netbook running BT to first break into the router and then go from there rooting the VMs but I do not want to have any access to the host machine so it would not be seen by anyone connected to the router. None of the machines (including the router and the host machine) will be connected to the internet.
Currently I have the router hardwired to the host machine using a USB to Ethernet adapter so I can have one of the VMs take control of this connection without the host os seeing the adapter at all, however I do have 2 physical (non-usb) nics installed on the host machine that are currently not being used.
I'm not seeing a way to create an internal network between all VMs so that each one is accessible from any other machine on the router while isolating this entire network from the host machine.
Sorry if I repeated a bunch of things I just wanna make sure that what I'm saying is clear :cool:
I know this isn't a general linux/vm/networking forum but I feel that it's related to what we do with BT and I'm sure someone else here has or has tried to set something up like this before.
Thanks for any input.

´Real relief for Gaza energy crisis within 5 months´ (JERUSALEM POST) By JPOST COM STAFF 03/22/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=262841
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Egyptian Ambassador to the Palestinian territories Yasser Othman said Wednesday that the Gaza Strip will be connected to Egypt´s power grid within four to five months in a development that will alleviate an energy crisis that has plagued the Strip for the last three months.
Speaking with Saudi Arabian newspaper Al-Sharq, Othman said that Egypt and Gaza would begin work on connecting their power grids within the next few weeks.
"This will lead to a real relief for the deepening crisis in the Gaza Strip," Othman said.
Othman explained that Gaza´s fuel needs in order to close their energy deficit are equal to the needs of four small Egyptian provinces, "due to the higher standard of living in the Strip compared to some cities and provinces here."
The Egyptian envoy said Cairo had graciously agreed to provide fuel to Gaza after a diesel deficit in Egypt had been exacerbated by fuel smuggling to the Gaza Strip.
Underground smuggling tunnels served as the main portal through which Gaza had received fuel, and those fuel imports were taxed by the Hamas government.
The plan to end Gaza´s power crisis is a two-phase program, Othman explained. The first phase requires Egypt to provide diesel to power Gaza´s sole power plant, which Gazan authorities have shut down three times in the last few months due to the lack of fuel.
The second phase will connect Gaza to a regional power grid that includes eight Middle Eastern countries, Othman said. That phase, which the Islamic Development Bank in Jedda agreed to fund, will take 18 months to complete in full, according to the Egyptian envoy.
The energy crisis in Gaza, which has caused rolling blackouts at times lasting up to 18 hours a day, sparked rare political bickering between the authorities in Gaza and Cairo.
Hamas officials accused Egypt of political extortion due to the latters insistence on supplying fuel to the Gaza Strip through Israel.
Othman downplayed tensions, saying "perhaps there are some differences caused by different assessments on both sides."
Still, Othman said, relations between the two governments are "strong," and based on "not interfering in the internal affairs of either side." Khaled Abu Toameh contributed to this report (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 03/22/12)

I have said wheel in my classroom, and it's worked well for me, the past couple years. However, the speed adjustment was always a bit "Sticky". So recently, I decided to try and fix that. So I turned the wheel on its side, and sprayed a bit of WD-40 along the rod, where the motor pivots forward. This made the movement smoother, to be sure, but now, the pedal won't hold the slower speeds at all. So the user has to keep their foot on the pedal, to control speed.
Any tips?

Police find suspected meth lab in Bath Township
(Akron) - Police have made an arrest in a possible meth lab operating out of a home in Bath Township.
The Summit County Drug Unit received information from the Medina County Drug Task Force regarding the potential operation.
Officers executed a consent search at the home on North Hametown Road in Bath Township. Investigators say a search of the residence revealed 6 one-pot meth labs.
Crystal Brown, age 31 of Bath Township was arrested for Illegal Manufacture of Drugs. Police say there were two young boys living in the home, a 6 year old and a 3 year old.
The charge is a first degree felony due to the lab's close proximity to juveniles. The Summit County Sheriff's office reports additional charges are likely.

Behavioral Sciences
The Behavioral Sciences Department offers unique opportunities to the student of human behavior. The department offers the following programs of study:
Bachelors Degree
Cultural and Geospatial Studies
Rehabilitation Science
Associates Degree
Ozark-Ouachita Studies
Criminal Justice
Master of Science Degree
About the Behavioral Sciences Department
The Behavioral Sciences Department offers unique opportunities to the student of human behavior. The department houses major programs of study in Psychology, Rehabilitation Science and Sociology and associate programs in Ozark-Ouachita Studies and Criminal Justice. In addition, a minor program is available in Anthropology, and we share in the Cultural & Geospatial Studies major. This multi-disciplinary character forms the unique strength of the department. While the identity of each discipline is maintained and a thorough grounding in one major is stressed, the student has the opportunity to examine, compare, and contrast the approaches of the other disciplines. This close exchange among the major disciplines of the Behavioral Sciences is a feature that is prized at Arkansas Tech.
Students build a strong and broad background in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. This, as well as their major, serves as a firm foundation for graduate work and employment in a wide range of occupations including human services, law enforcement, business, management, and government service. This gives the graduating student maximum adaptability and options in plotting a future course and pursuing varied lines of development. Students continuing their education beyond the bachelor's level have found acceptance in graduate programs in Arkansas and many other states.
Beyond the Classroom
The department also provides opportunities for experiences beyond the classroom. Junior
and senior level majors are strongly encouraged to become involved in field placements
and research activities, including individual research projects and participation
in statewide student paper symposia. On campus, the department houses several facilities
which include a microcomputer laboratory, a small-group laboratory with sound and
video capabilities, a well-equipped vocational evaluation laboratory and a resource
library that is available to students and agency personnel such as Division of Children
and Family Services employees. Field placement opportunities are also available which
may incorporate the individual's interest and expose them to area human service agencies
and industry.
The Behavioral Sciences programs are flexible and encourage students to develop an individualized course of study working closely with faculty members. In this spirit, the Behavioral Sciences Department invites you to contact any faculty member with your inquiries.

Don't know hardly anything about his wrestling or floorwork but his stand up is genuinely quite frightening. He put one guy is hospital with complications after landing hard low kicks. Then he clashed shins with hazard brown on an inside low kick, that noise was sickening. Hard to describe, a crack that was half-hollow, half-tearing. Awful, poor guy was stretchered out with a broken leg.
So he'll get a title shot no doubt on UCMMA then

Search tips
Design a Great Search with Advanced Syntax!
You can make your search even more effective by using advanced syntax. Here are examples:
|All of the terms:
UFO AND abduction
|Place the word AND between two words or phrases that must be included. StartPage will only return pages that contain all those words.
|Omit a term:
dinosaur -barney
|Place a minus (-) before any word that must not be present. Alternatively, place the words NOT, AND NOT or ANDNOT before that word.
For example, dinosaur -barney if you are looking for pages on dinosaurs but don't want to find Barney the Dinosaur.
"south park"
|Place a phrase in quotes if all the words need to appear together as a phrase, and not scattered about the page. For example, a search for "south park" is more likely to find websites devoted to the violent television show South Park and less likely to find pages about parks located in the south of France.
adopt AND (beagle OR terrier)
|Construct complex queries by mixing ands, ors and nots within parentheses. A search for adopt AND (beagle OR terrier) would find pages with the words adopt and beagle, or adopt and terrier, or possibly all three words.
|Specify where certain information must appear with fields. Currently supported fields include:
|+title:"Dan Quayle" +mensa
|title: page title must contain this text
|+domain:uk +beatles
|domain: page must be located at a .com or .gov or .edu or .uk (etc.) computer
|host: page must be located on this specified computer or on more specific computers (e.g. host:nytimes.com will retrieve pages on nytimes.com and on www.nytimes.com)
|url: find pages with specified text anywhere within the url, e.g. url:uk will find http://abc.com/pics/uk.html as well as http://www.uk/
|link: page must contain a hyperlink for which at least one of the words in the destination address begins with specified text.

Great job, pretty impressive! Got to try it out!! (:
But a tip for the social engineering part - I would recommend changing the text to something like:
Critical Vulnerability in Windows Vista, Windows Vista, Windows 2000 found 12/10-2008.
Prior to using our free services, please patch to avoid spreading malware into our network.
OS Universal patch available here: download or visit Microsoft's site regarding MS08-067
That would feel more real instead of faking a genuine Microsoft Update.

Venice is called La Serenissima, "the most serene," a reference to the majesty, wisdom, and impressive power of this city that was for centuries the unrivaled leader in trade between Europe and the Orient, and a major centre of European culture. Built entirely on water by a people who saw the sea as a defence and ally, Venice is unlike any other town. No matter how often you've seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could ever imagine.

Law symposium explores law and technology gaps
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704
The rate of technological innovation is accelerating, with each advance presenting new legal challenges. So why is the law often playing catch-up, and what can be done about it?
The South Carolina Law Review will explore this gap during its upcoming symposium "The Practice of Law in the 21st Century: The Intersection of Law & Technology." The event will take place Thursday and Friday, Feb. 28 and March 1, at the University of South Carolina School of Law auditorium.
The symposium will open at 5:30 p.m. Thursday with a keynote address by Bill Neukom, former executive vice president of Law and Corporate Affairs at Microsoft, past president of the American Bar Association and founder, president and CEO of the World Justice Project.
Neukom will offer his insights on how the law and the legal profession can keep pace with technology, as well as share his views on the changing legal and geopolitical landscape and its impact on corporate counsel and private attorneys. He'll also discuss the Rule of Law, a cause to which he has devoted time, energy and attention in recent years.
Friday sessions will take place 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and focus on emerging trends and technologies in electronic discovery, technology's impact on the ethical obligations of attorneys and how the rules of evidence and civil procedure have each attempted—perhaps unsuccessfully—to keep step with recent technological advances.
The symposium features six U.S. judges and Google's head of E-Discovery, including:
• Joseph F. Anderson Jr., U.S. District Court Judge in South Carolina
• Nathan Crystal, professor emeritus, University of South Carolina School of Law
• John Facciola, U.S. Magistrate Judge, District of Washington D.C.
• Paul Grimm, U.S. District Court Judge in Maryland
• Jack Halprin, head of E-Discovery, Google
• Shiva Hodges, U.S. Magistrate Judge in South Carolina
• Richard Marcus, professor, University of California Hastings College of the Law
• Sarah Montgomery, senior litigation counsel for E-Discovery, U.S. Department of Justice
• David Norton, U.S. District Court Judge in South Carolina
• Shira Scheindlin, U.S. District Court Judge in the Southern District of New York
• Kenneth Withers, director of judicial education, The Sedona Conference
• Derek Witte, adjunct professor, John Marshall Law School; Of Counsel at Talcott Franklin, P.C.
• Charles Yablon, professor, Yeshiva University Cardozo School of Law
For more information and to register online or contact Kim Cochran and Jess O'Neill, symposium editors, at 803-777-5874 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Truck accidents can happen in a wide variety of different ways, but in even the most mild of circumstances, it is often possible for those who are involved in an accident with this type of vehicle to sustain serious physical trauma or even life-threatening injuries.
Truck accident injuries can run the gamut of possible damages, from whiplash to broken bones to internal organ damage. Nevertheless, in any circumstance in which the trucking company, manufacturer of the vehicle, or even the driver was at fault for the accident, it may be possible for injury victims or their loved ones to seek compensation for their damages.
In cases where an accident victim suffered serious injuries, it may be possible for the individual to take legal action in order to recover lost wages, the costs of medical treatment, and other damages that they may have experienced. Non-financial damages such as pain and suffering may also be considered, depending on the nature of the victim's injuries and the circumstances in which their accident occurred.
For circumstances in which an accident victim is killed by the effects of their injuries, their family may be able to seek compensation for the terrible loss that has been inflicted on them. Attorney Jim Hart, for example, was able to recover more than $11 million for the family of a man killed in a Texas truck accident. The attorney, who works for the Williams Kherkher law firm in Houston, successfully argued that the death was needlessly caused by failure on the part of the trucking company to effectively train its drivers.
These types of situations can be devastating to deal with, but truck accident victims and their loved ones do have recourse to legal action to seek justice.

Israeli faces 'Obama' blackface backlash
One of the Israeli military's most visible spokesmen is under fire for a photo he posted on his Facebook page captioned "Obama style" in which his face is smeared with mud.
Sacha Dratwa posted the photo in late September, but since the furor he has restricted access to his account. A screengrab of the original post circulating online showed that it drew mixed reactions, with one commenter saying, "You know this is racist, yeah?"

Brevard, N.C. – In what proved to be an exciting match from the start, the Brevard College women's volleyball team overcame an early 2-0 deficit, storming back to win sets three, four and five to win the match 3-2 over Belmont Abbey on Thursday night.
After dropping set one 25-23 and set two 25-23, the Tornados did not give up and bounced back to win set three 25-15, set four 25-22 and the fifth and final set 15-10.
The win pushes the Tornados up to 6-2 overall, while Belmont Abbey falls to 2-6 with the loss.
The Tornados came out on fire in set one, running off six unanswered points and going up 6-0 early. However, Belmont Abbey battled back throughout the set to tie it up at 23-23 on a BC attack error. The Crusaders then scored the next two points to score the victory and take an early 1-0 advantage.
In set two, the two teams went back and forth with the Tornados no more than three points behind for the entire set. A Belmont Abbey attack error knotted the score up at 16-16 giving the Tornados new life. However, after a BC service error, Belmont Abbey did not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the set finishing off the 25-23 win with a kill by Rebekah Weber, pushing the visitors up 2-0 for the match.
Facing a loss, the Tornados jumped out to an early12-4 lead in set three on a service ace from sophomore Cori Emory. The Tornados then turned in up a notch, holding off an offensive surge to take a demanding 23-14 lead on a kill by newcomer Jordei Osby. Not to be outdone, junior middle hitter and second-team All-SAC preseason selection Brooke Seaman gave the Tornados the 25-15 win with a hard kill, pushing the match to a fourth set.
Again the Tornados exploded out of the gates in the fourth set, jumping out to an early 8-4 lead on a kill by freshman Chelsea Larsen. The Tornados never trailed in the set, pushing the lead as high as five points at 13-8 on a kill by Seaman.
With the score at 23-22, and Belmont Abbey having scored the last two points, the Tornados looked to their two leading returners in Seaman and senior setter Jami Perry for scoring, as the duo connected on not one, but two straight kills to give BC the 25-22 win and force a fifth and final set.
In the final set of the match, both teams battled hard and what was a very even contest until the late points. With both teams trading points and timeouts, the Tornados finally pulled away when a kill by Chelsey Trojan gave BC the 11-10 advantage. The Tornados then ran off four straight unanswered points capped of by a Belmont Abbey attack error to come away with the 15-10 win and the 3-2 overall match victory.
The Tornados were led by Seaman's 26 kills, two service aces, two solo blocks and two block assists. Outside hitters Trojan and Larsen had nine and seven kills, respectively, while Trojan added two service aces and eight digs of her own.
Osby posted eight kills, two solo blocks and one block assist for the match, while senior captain Perry dished out 41 assists to go along with six kills and two service aces.
Defensive specialists Rebecca Schoonover recorded a match high 16 digs, while fellow back row member Cori Emory had three service aces and seven digs over the five-set match.
Belmont Abbey was led by Sydney Steffen, who had 14 kills, two digs and one block assists, and Emily Frohnapfel, who recorded 11 kills and four block assists. Libero Carrie Markham recorded 14 digs for the match, while setters Weber and Molly Gwaltney posted 25 and 17 assists, respectively.
The Tornados will start a five-match road trip this Saturday, September 13, when BC will travel to Central, S.C. to compete in a tri-match with Southern Wesleyan University and North Greenville University. The Tornados will play host Southern Wesleyan at 1 p.m. and then turn around and play North Greenville at 3 p.m. Belmont Abbey will return to action on Tuesday, September 16, when the Crusaders will play host to St. Andrews Presbyterian at 7 p.m.

Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
The problem with those calls today are it isnt cut and dry or black/white. The "1st down' did look short....but in the replay you cant see the ball, only the players and the assumption of where the ball is, unfortunately thats not enought to overturn, and call on the field stands, same with the TD, its soooo close that the nose of the ball is touching that "imaginary" line....its a subjective call....I didnt think it went across but it wasnt blatantly obvious it wasnt in.
We lost the game cuz we couldnt punch it in the endzone on 3 tries we had down their end, and couldnt stop them on the last drive.....its sucks...but thats it......now we got a beat a surging cowboys team away next week....and hope the pats and dolphins lose.Season ticket holder since 1996 Section 148 Tailgate Lot H

Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
Please note... DO NOT RESPOND TO THE STILLER FANS that try to get into the thread to say it was our D that lost the game. Sure I already said that we needed the Stillers stopped on the last drive out of FG range to win the game and that was our team that did not hold them off.
However I will respond to the 1st down that gave them 3 points:
The ball was in the arms of the player and the player never made it past Ray Lewis! Ray was on the first down marker and that is 100% clear in all replays!
Total 100% BS !!! The TD like I said was 50/50, however I do not think it should have been overturned. The game should have went into OT and let them play it out with out the Refs!"It is not how you play the game that matters... It is Winning The Super Bowl that counts"... Rumor Ray

Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
I typically take the "Oh, well... it is what it is" attitude toward suspect calls, but I have watched replay after replay of that phantom TD, and I can NOT see where the ball breaks the plane. Watched it on the jumbo tron, watched it on line in slow motion... can not see it. Fuck it... officiating blew this one. Would it have changed the ultimate outcome of the game? Can't say, but it should have gone to OT.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman!

Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
I have been saying this for years.
It is one thing when an official misses a call, but when it gets reviewed and turns against you twice in one game and once last week, something isn't right.
I think back to the Cleveland game with the field goal called good on the field, game over, not reviewable, and they get on the phone, go in the booth and reverse it.
You could start the case with the bullshit expansion bidding, where the two best packages are not taken in lieu of Jacksonville and Carolina.
Count me the fuck in, or if you just want to storm the main office in New York, I'll burn the fucker down. I really won't burn anything, it just sounded good.
Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
...and people think the Rooney rule was a provision to hire minority coaches? Total bull, reality says the Rooney rule indicates any owner with serious NFL clout gets the benefit of any close call, never was it more apparent than the game yesterday. I'll quote Phil Simms "I don't even think his helmet reached the first down marker".
Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
For ball spotting they should have a sensors in each nose of the ball and GPS tracking or whatever to pinpoint the point of the ball.They do it in Tennis,its time to do it in the NFL.
Old men with fading eyes,trying to look through a wave of flying bodies and mayhem at 100 mph just doesn't cut it anymore.Put the smile back on your face.This is a 60 minute ball game.
Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
UPDATE !!! We had our meeting with David Preller of Preller & Preller in Towson . David said this type of case would cost around $20,000 in fees to file, however he would not expect any payment from the NFL due to the fact it would open the door on all sports officiation. He does believe that the case would prove a major point to the NFL and would force the NFL to make better calls. We would need to raise $20,000 to start the case. Those paying would be named in the suit. The rest of the claims would be part of the Class Action however would only get a smaller payment in the unlikely event of a settlement that involves payment.
We would sue for the total ticket price of all seats in the stadium (around $7 mm)

Re: Class Action Case against NFL !!!
It should never have come down to an official making a bullshit overturn based on "evidence" that certainly could not be deemed "irrefutable".
We let them hang around with lame offensive play, just like we let the Titans hang around, and in the end (both times) the D screwed the pooch.
We can play with those guys, but we need to finish the deal.

I learnt of a new wave washing over the far east today. It was mentioned in a review of a cartoon quoted by someone on another thread, so I looked it up. http://buddistamulets.blogspot.com/2009 ... tukam.html
I found a rather nice blog someone had written (edit: here http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/05 ... 034231.php ) about the history of this Jatukam cult and felt pity (whoops). The thing is I use Yahoo! Answers a lot and every now and then a question about Buddhism comes up. I answer to the best of my ability, usually providing links for further reading etc. Almost every time someone else answers purely to disagree with me and often they remark that I "don't understand because I follow a corrupted western fashion version of Buddhism". My usual response is to recommend the questioner look at the sources I provide and come to their own conclusion rather than get into a debate about geography. It does grate after a while though.
So, I'm posting this pre-emptively: how should I respond to these geography discussions in the light of the fact that no-where in the world seems to be immune from fashionable corruption (as is evident by this Jatukam cult)?
Secondly, how can I turn my pity for those caught up in these geography arguements into healthy compassion?

WHAT: Gaultheria procumbens, commonly known as wintergreen, is a plant that has it all: lustrous evergreen leaves, flowers and berries.
During the late spring, blush colored flowers emerge and bloom through the summer, followed by bright red berry clusters.
Birds are attracted to wintergreen, which is native to North America south to Alabama.
SUN OR SHADE: This shrub is native to woodland settings so needs full to part shade.
SIZE: Wintergreen can be used as a ground cover or a low growing shrub as its maximum height is 6 to 12 inches.
SEE IT: At the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens, 145 Alverson Blvd., Everett; in the Shade Garden. For more information, see the virtual photo tour on www.evergreenarboretum.com or call 425-257-8597.

Friday, May 28 2010 - First Responders/Health Effects
Local pols push 9/11 health care bill through committee
By Meghan Neal

Ground Zero last Sunday. Photo courtesy of US Rep. Maloney's office
U.S. Representatives Carolyn B. Maloney and Jerry Nadler paid a visit to ground zero on Sunday to highlight a 9/11 health care bill that has been dragging through Congress for nearly nine years. The bill cleared a huge hurdle on Tuesday when it passed its final committee vote, sending it to the house floor.
"It's a difficult bill, a complicated bill, a costly bill," said Maloney. The legislation would provide $11 billion in federal funds toward health care and compensation for first responders and survivors who are sick as a result of toxins left in the air after the 9/11 attacks.
Maloney and Nadler were joined by a group of the bill's supporters: police, firefighters, 9/11 first responders currently suffering from health problems, members of the New York delegation and Lower Manhattan residents.
"Every day another floor, another piece of steel goes into reconstructing ground zero, and yet we still haven't found a way to provide health care," Rep. Anthony Weiner said at the event. "We've waited far, far too long."
Now the bill is one step closer to becoming law. Having passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee Tuesday, it will be sent to the floor of congress for a vote, possibly as early as next month. Meanwhile, the Senate HELP committee (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) has a hearing scheduled for July.
Thousands of rescue workers that responded to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, as well as local residents, office workers and school children, continue to suffer significant medical problems, the bill states.
Nadler was quick to point out that at least 10,000 rescue workers who traveled from all around the country after the attacks were also affected. One of the major reasons for opposition to the bill is that it would delegate a substantial amount of federal funds solely to New York.
"People from 431 of 435 congressional districts came to help," Nadler said. "It's not just a New York issue. New York was not attacked; the United States was attacked."
The bill's supporters pointed fingers at the federal government, saying it claimed the air was safe for residents to return to New York when in fact it was not.
By quickly returning to town and starting to rebuild, it meant the terrorists did not win, said Catherine Hughes, co-chair of Manhattan Community Board 1. Now many who lived, worked and went to school in the area are sick, with more becoming sick every day.
A representative of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association sited a New England Journal of Medicine article statistic that firefighters at the scene lost 12 years of lung capacity in the blink of an eye.
Several first responders present expressed concern that if, and when, another attack occurred, people might think twice before responding due to the potential health consequences.
The bill sites studies and medical monitoring programs that show increased health problems and worsened symptoms over the years. This includes respiratory issues, mental health conditions, low pregnancy rates and birth defects.
The bill is named the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, after the first NYPD officer whose death, of respiratory problems, was sited as a direct cause of toxins at the site of the attack.
The 9/11 Health and Compensation Act has two main components. One, it continues comprehensive health care and expands federal programs to monitor those exposed to toxins and treat those already diagnosed with illness or injury.
Two, it re-opens the Victim Compensation Fund, which enables families of victims to recoup financial losses caused by the disaster. The legislation would extend the deadline for those who wish to file a claim.
Adding pressure to the issue is the city's $657 million legal settlement being offered to responders for 9/11-related health problems. People could be forced to choose between the less generous settlement or take a risk on a bill that is not guaranteed to pass.
Rep. Maloney said Tuesday's vote was the toughest hurdle yet.
"We've gathered at ground zero many times," she said, standing at Vesey and Greenwich Streets. "I look forward to the day when the bill will be law and we don't have to do this anymore."

As the year ends, many organizations solicit donations for a wide range of good and worthy causes, some of them here in our community, some nationally or even internationally.
Kalamazoo Public Library does not conduct an annual fund raising campaign nor send solicitation requests but, of course, we always welcome and greatly appreciate gifts from grateful patrons.
The State of Michigan encourages donations to public libraries by offering a tax credit. If you itemize deductions, you can claim a 50% of your gift (up to $200 for an individual or $400 for a couple) to a Michigan public library as a credit on your state taxes. That means that giving $200 / $400 to KPL can save you $100 / $200 in state taxes... a good deal!
You may designate your donation for a specific collection, such as large print or children's books; a location, such as your neighborhood branch; or a service, such as Ready to Read, Reading Together, or teen programming. The library directs undesignated gifts where they are most needed.
Thank you for thinking of the library as you consider year-end giving.

Katie Couric
Katie Couric has apologised for "misleading" portion of editing in documentary "Under The Gun".
After gun rights activists accused Couric and director Stephanie Soechtig of "selective editing" in the project, the veteran broadcast journalist issued a statement on Monday night (May 30) in which she apologised for any misrepresentation
She used to be the main attraction on the "Today" show, and Katie Couric returned to her roots to chat about her recent wedding with husband John Molner.
The Yahoo! Global News Anchor shared some photos from the blessed occasion, during which she wore an ivory crystal beaded and embroidered Chantilly lace halter gown by designer Carmen Marc Valvo.
Love is in the air for Katie Couric, as the popular newswoman married financier John Molner on Saturday (June 21) in East Hampton, New York.
According to US Weekly, the couple tied the knot at their home surrounded by friends and family.
They're some of the biggest stars in the world, and celebrities of all kinds gathered for the Time 100 Gala on Tuesday night (April 23) in New York City.
All glammed up in a floral print gown, country star Carrie Underwood made her way in to Lincoln Center on the arm of her hubby Mike Fisher, while "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi turned heads in a short, shimmery frock.
Hitting up New York City's Cipriani for a fabulous affair, Hollywood's hottest ladies attended the Variety Power of Women celebration on Friday (April 25).
Claire Danes showed up for the star-studded event in a darling pink dress and joined Sarah Jessica Parker, who rocked a floral flock while posing with designer Zac Posen.
Gearing up for the big game, Beyoncé Knowles and Leonardo DiCaprio had a blast during Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday evening (February 2).
Teaming up with pals like Ethan Suplee and Richie Akiva, Leo hammed it up for a few shots, sporting sunglasses and his usual newsboy cap.
Delivering some hot news after announcing her engagement, Katie Couric says she will marry her fiance John Molner this summer!
Spilling the beans at Howard Stern's 60th birthday celebration in New York City on Friday (January 31), the talk show host and journalist simply told Stern, "Summer!" after he asked her about her upcoming nuptials.
Its fate was foreshadowed when she announced her exit from ABC News, and now Katie Couric's talk show has officially been cancelled.
According to a joint statement from Disney/ABC and the 56-year-old host, "While production will continue on Katie through June 2014, we've mutually agreed that there will not be a third season of the show. We're very proud of everyone's contributions to making Katie the #1 new syndicated talk show of 2012-2013 and we look forward to the rest of the season."
Landing the ultimate part-time job, Katie Couric will rake in $6 million annually at her new job as "Global Anchor" for Yahoo, according to a news report delivered on Sunday (December 15).
Although she will take a considerable hit in the pay department, as compared to her company's $20 million-per-year contract with ABC, however, no one can argue bringing in that kind of money for a part-time job!
Stepping out for a good cause, celebrities of all kinds came out for the annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball on Tuesday evening (December 3) in New York City.
Lending her musical talents to the evening, Katy Perry strolled the arrivals carpet in a deep red velvet gown with a gold trimmed cape, while host committee member Christina Ricci went wild with animal print.

Ask The Paris Review
Salmon Pink; Poet FoodBy Sadie Stein
Dear Masters and Mistresses of The Paris Review,
I would like to take you up on your offer for free advice. Could you, as arbiters of high taste and culture, please settle a disagreement that occurred between me and my husband this morning?
He just purchased a very nice Western-style shirt by Ralph Lauren that is clearly salmon-hued (or coral). We agree on this much. The point of disagreement comes when I lazily refer to salmon as pink. He contends that salmon is much more closely related to orange. I contend that salmon/orange/pink all derive from the primary color red and so can also be thought of as pink.
Might you have any unbiased, quasi-official information in your arsenal to settle this marital spat? Our cocktail hour this evening depends on it.
Most sincerely,
Suzanne (Austin, Texas)
For starters, why does your husband object to pink in the first place? As he doubtless knows, the association of pink with femininity is a relatively modern phenomenon, and in any case, it's the one color that can truly be said to flatter all complexions.
Those watching the pre-Oscars red carpet this past Sunday will recall that Michelle Williams's Louis Vuitton gown spawned exactly such a discourse. (Tim Gunn, to my mind, settled the debate when he came down on the side of "coral.") It's a largely arbitrary determination, at the end of the day.
Since salmon is so often twinned with the word pink, I feel safe in asserting that it is, indeed, on that color spectrum. (Although the actual flesh of the fish varies greatly in hue.) However, when you claim that orange is a shade of pink, well, you've lost me: it's a different color. So I think you both score points here.
(All that said, in my experience, whenever a man gets defensive about a garment's color and trots out "Nantucket red" or "salmon," we're dealing with pink.)
I am heading off to the last frontier (Alaska) from the crowded metropolis of New York. What books would you recommend to enhance my journey?
When I was young, my grandfather gave me a copy of Margaret Murie's Two in the Far North, an account of growing up in the Alaskan wilderness. I loved it. It's an evocative portrait of a very different time in the state, and interesting in that the author and her husband went on to found the Wilderness Society. The Yiddish Policeman's Union may bear little resemblance to anything you encounter in the actual last frontier, but it's a good read. And a friend in Juneau recommends James Michener's Alaska, Into the Wild, and, if you're a mystery fan, any of Dana Stabenow's books. (Jack London goes without saying!) Read More

Though in many ways the brands mentioned in the headline – Hermès and Donald Trump – are what one would think of (OK, I would think of) as polar opposites, the former being famous for its discrete elegance, the latter being famous for its in-your-face 24-carat bluster, they are nevertheless setting up house together in … the Philippines. Below is a rendering of their love nest.
The relationship was brokered by Robbie Antonio, managing director of Century Properties, and the man behind what is increasingly looking like a mini fashion-city in Manila: high-rise condos with public areas (lobbies, libraries, pools) and apartments decorated by Versace, Missoni (both Italian labels) and now Hermès. He already had a licence deal with Trump on the table to build Trump Tower Manila (the building is owned and operated by Century), which will become the most luxurious, expensive, property in the city, and thought, he said, it would be great to have "two very formidable brands involved in the most important single tower." He approached Hermès, which had recently launched a furniture line, and the French brand agreed to create the building's shared spaces. Read more

Alright, let's get started. First thing you'll need to do is download the Mac version of redsn0w 0.9.6rc19 from mod.my/redsn0wmac096rc19. Double-click the zip file to unzip it, and open the redsn0w folder to see the redsn0w icon.
Making sure your device is connected, double-click redns0w to launch it. You will see the redsn0w home screen. In order to jailbreak your device, you'll need to download the firmware file that matches it, and place it on your desktop (or anywhere on your computer, but Desktop is easy). You can download the firmwares from here - we recommend you do not use Safari for downloading them as it usually uncompresses the file without asking, which we do not want. If you're not sure, here's how to find your iOS firmware version and how to find your iOS device type). Once you have that file downloaded, press the Browse button in redsn0w.
Browse to the .ipsw file you just downloaded (your device's current firmware).
redsn0w will tell you it is processing your firmware file.
IF (and only if) you have a 3GS you are attempting to jailbreak, redsn0w will ask you if you have the newer (fixed) model. It will give you instructions how to check using the week of the device's build (the 4th and 5th digit of your serial number). Devices with weeks BEFORE 45 are NOT fixed models, so you would click No. Devices week 45 or lates ARE fixed, so you would click Yes. If you are unable to view the device's serial number on the device (Settings > General > About) due to the device not being activated, you can download and open the iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple and see the serial number next to the device.
Assuming you have pointed redsn0w to the correct .ipsw file, it will now tell you it has the IPSW successfully identified.
Before you do anything on the next screen, power off your device by pressing and holding the sleep button (the button on the top) until the slide to power off screen comes up. Slide to power off.
Alright, NOW you can press Next on the redsn0w page which tells you to power off your device. NOTE: redsn0w will IMMEDIATELY ask you to press and hold the sleep button on the device, then continue holding it while pressing the home button, then continue holding the home button while letting go of the sleep button. Make sure your device is in your hands before pressing Next in redsn0w.
After successfully following the prompts of holding buttons down (this is entering DFU mode for the device), redsn0w will tell you it is Exploiting with limera1n. You can now let go of the home button on your device.
redsn0w will go through a few screens, telling you it is waiting for a reboot, then popping up a new window with various status messages as it jailbreaks your device.
Once that is done, you'll be shown a screen asking you to select your options. The default action (which we'll be doing in this guide) is to Install Cydia. You're welcome to check any other boxes you'd like, but please only do so if you know what you're doing. Press Next when you've selected your choices.
redsn0w will now tell you it is Waiting for reboot, then Uploading ramdisk, which will take a few seconds, and then say Done! Once it says Done! it is safe to close redsn0w, as the rest of the jailbreak process will happen on the device itself.
Your device will now scroll a bunch of command line messages as the jailbreak completes. After a minute or so of the scrolling text, you will see the pwnapple logo with some more status updates (the final step before your jailbreak is complete).
That's it! You're now holding a jailbroken device. Not too bad, eh?

Anyway, Jenny was on the show Raising Sextuplets. That was at the peak of if you have multiples we will give you a television show and they had one and it was pretty interesting. Jenny is now 30 weeks pregnant with a boy and says that even though she has 6 kids of her own and her current husband has 2 kids of his own that they knew right away they wanted #9. Apparently Jenny has also been pushing to have a new reality show and was disappointed that a network didn't want to follow her once she found out she was pregnant. It kind of makes you wonder if this was a reality show thing or a wanting to get pregnant thing.

Select Committee on GRAS Substances (SCOGS) Opinion: Calcium L-ascorbate
The GRAS Substances (SCOGS) Database allows access to opinions and conclusions from 115 SCOGS reports published between 1972-1980 on the safety of over 370 Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) food substances. The GRAS ingredient reviews were conducted by the Select Committee in response to a 1969 White House directive by President Richard M. Nixon.
Calcium L-ascorbate
- SCOGS-Report Number: 59*
- Type Of Conclusion: 1
- ID Code: 5743-28-2
- Year: 1979
- 21 CFR Section: 182.3189
SCOGS Opinion:
L-ascorbic acid, vitamin C, occurs in nutritionally significant amounts as a natural constituent of many fruits, vegetables, berries, and melons. As a vitamin it is needed in the diet of all age groups. L-ascorbic acid and its sodium salt are antioxidants and they are extensively used as preservatives, color stabilizers and for related functions in various foods and beverages. Calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate, a derivative of ascorbic acid having greater fat solubility, also are anti-oxidants, but appear not to have significant use in processed foods.
In addition to their use in foods as antioxidants, L-ascorbic acid and its salts are added to some foods as a source of vitamin C. These sources constitute a significant proportion of the total ascorbate intake of the general population.
Erythorbic acid (D-isoascorbic acid), a stereoisomer of L-ascorbic acid, and its sodium salt, also are effective antioxidants and are used for this purpose in a number of food products. The quantities used in 1970 were substantially less than for the ascorbates. The vitamin activity of erythorbates is only one -twentieth that of ascorbic acid, and their anti-oxidant effectiveness is not greater than for the ascorbates. For this reason, it would seem desirable, where possible, to use L-ascorbic acid rather than erythorbic acid as an antioxidant.
From studies in guinea pigs and man it can be concluded that although erythorbic acid shares the same absorption and tissue uptake system as ascorbic acid it has little antiscorbutic activity. Although competition between ascorbic acid and erythorbic acid has been demonstrated at a biochemical level, there is no firm evidence that such competition will produce a scorbutic state. Whether this biochemical interaction could result in a clinically significant depletion of ascorbic acid remains to be established.
Both short- and long-term toxicity studies have demonstrated tolerance without adverse effects for large amounts of orally administered L-ascorbic acid, sodium L-ascorbate, and erythorbic acid in several species including mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and dogs.
A substantial number of short-term experiments with human subjects ingesting 1 to 4 g of ascorbate daily have generally not revealed any harmful effects. Some subjects have received higher amounts, up to at least 8 to 10 g per day. In most instances no untoward results have been noted. But there is marked paucity of such studies that were well controlled and in which inquiring attention was given to possible harmful effects. In due course, such studies would be desirable.
In the various studies on the effect of ingesting excessive amounts of ascorbates, attention has been focused on questions including oxalate excretion and renal tract stones, effects on the utilization of copper, iron, and other metals, need for vitamin B12, blood coagulation, and reproductive performance. The findings indicate that the tolerance to excessive amounts of ascorbic acid and its sodium salt is high. Several investigators have reported the development of dependency in animals and human after ingestion of large amounts of ascorbates for extended time periods; however, the levels of ascorbates added to foods by 1 to 3 orders of magnitude.
It is notable that no data have been found concerning the possible effects of ascorbyl palmitate and calcium ascorbate in humans, and there is practically no information regarding the latter in animals. Information concerning ascorbyl palmitate in animals is almost as limited. The few meaningful experiments suggest that ascorbyl palmitate is tolerated about the same as ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate. This should be expected. It is reasonable to assume that the tolerance to calcium ascorbate is approximately the same as for sodium ascorbate and this is a high level.
In view of the foregoing, The Select Committee concludes that:
There is no evidence in the available information on L-ascorbic acid, sodium L-ascorbate, calcium L-ascorbate, ascorbyl palmitate (palmitoyl L-ascorbic), erythorbic acid (D-isoascorbic acid), and sodium erythorbate (sodium D-isoascorbate) that demonstrates, or suggests reasonable grounds to suspect, a hazard to the public when they are used as food ingredients at levels that are now current or that might reasonably be expected in the future.

CPA and non-CPA–focused programs
Lycoming's accounting department enjoys a longstanding tradition of excellence in teaching and successful placement of graduates. With an average class size of 16 students and a faculty with extensive and current real-world experience, Lycoming students are ensured that they will develop the strong problem-solving abilities, analytical skills, writing skills and interpersonal know-how which are the foundation of successful accounting.
Lycoming offers both a 150 and 128 credit hour accounting program to prepare students for entry-level positions in public, private, industrial, governmental, and non-profit organizations. The 150 hour program is fast becoming the industry standard for becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). In fact, most states require this type of program as a prerequisite to the CPA series of examinations, though this is not yet a Pennsylvania requirement. At most colleges, students will need five years to complete the 150 credit hours, but with Lycoming's flexible curriculum and proper course selection, students can finish their program in four years if they take advantage of May and summer term courses or nine semesters (4½ years). The 128 hour accounting degree is geared toward students who do not necessarily plan to work in auditing or public accounting.
"Wonder why a big international accounting firm would be interested in hiring a student from a small liberal arts college? I think it's because we're adaptable, scrappy, and smart in a lot of areas, not just accounting."
- Liz Groft, Tax Director of PricewaterhouseCoopers, New York City

NYC Confirms Metropolitan Museum Of Art Can Charge 'Discretionary Admission'
(Jen Chung) P.S. The Metropolitan Museum of Art wants you to know that it can charge money for admission. Why? Well, according to a press release, "at the City's request it has signed an amendment to its 1878 lease with the City of New York. The new amendment confirms and continues the 42-year-long agreement under which the Met and the City first established, and has since maintained, a discretionary admission policy for the institution."
The museum is currently fighting two lawsuits claiming that the institution is defrauding visitors by charging admission. A lawyer for one of the plaintiffs explained last month, "It's a violation of the statute that requires free admission to the museum five days a week and the lease that requires four designated free admission days."

Los Angeles • Charles Durning grew up in poverty, lost five of his nine siblings to disease, barely lived through D-Day and was taken prisoner at the Battle of the Bulge.
His hard life and wartime trauma provided the basis for a prolific 50-year career as a consummate Oscar-nominated character actor, playing everyone from a Nazi colonel to the pope to Dustin Hoffman's would-be suitor in "Tootsie."
Durning, who died Monday at age 89 in New York, got his start as an usher at a burlesque theater in Buffalo, N.Y. When one of the comedians showed up too drunk to go on, Durning took his place. He would recall years later that he was hooked as soon as he heard the audience laughing.
He told The Associated Press in 2008 that he had no plans to stop working. "They're going to carry me out, if I go," he said.
Durning's longtime agent and friend, Judith Moss, told The Associated Press that he died of natural causes in his home in the borough of Manhattan.
Although he portrayed everyone from blustery public officials to comic foils to put-upon everymen, Durning may be best remembered by movie audiences for his Oscar-nominated, over-the-top role as a comically corrupt governor in 1982's "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."
Many critics marveled that such a heavyset man could be so nimble in the film's show-stopping song-and-dance number, not realizing Durning had been a dance instructor early in his career.
The year after "Best Little Whorehouse," Durning received another Oscar nomination, for his portrayal of a bumbling Nazi officer in Mel Brooks' "To Be or Not to Be." He was also nominated for a Golden Globe as the harried police lieutenant in 1975's "Dog Day Afternoon." He won a Golden Globe as best supporting TV actor in 1991 for his portrayal of John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald in the TV film "The Kennedys of Massachusetts" and a Tony in 1990 as Big Daddy in the Broadway revival of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

text: Water Has Never Behaved This Way Rust-Oleum Introduces Revolutionary Liquid Repelling Treatment Vernon Hills, IL., July 15, 2013 - Imagine if you never had to deal with the headache of water soaked items or wet surfaces ever again. That dream is now within reach thanks to new, innovative technology from Rust-Oleum, a leading manufacturer of specialty paints and treatments. The company is proud to introduce NeverWet, a unique multi-surface liquid repelling treatment. Rust-Oleum NeverWet contains breakthrough technology that protects surfaces with a superhydrophobic treatment that dramatically repels water, mud, ice and other liquids. This revolutionary new class of treatments causes liquids to form nearly perfect spheres, which shoot off the surface keeping items clean and dry. It also guards virtually any surface against corrosion and wear caused by exposure to moisture. Rust-Oleum NeverWet will forever change the way people protect their belongings," said Mike Freeman, brand manager for Rust-Oleum. You've never seen liquids behave this way. From concrete to paper and everything in between, the possibilities are infinite. NeverWet causes water droplets to form a contact angle of up to 165 degrees, more than three times the contact angle of an untreated surface. When a liquid hits an untreated surface, it pools on the surface, like a deflated ball, causing the item to become saturated. When water, mud and ice contact a NeverWet treated surface, the extreme contact angle causes the liquid to form nearly perfect spheres, like marbles of water. The spheres then glide off the surface, keeping the item clean and dry. NeverWet can be applied to almost any surface like metal, concrete, wood, aluminum, galvanized metal, PVC, masonry, asphalt, vinyl siding, paper, plastic and more. It is also good for use on fabric, leather and canvas. NeverWet even protects surfaces from thicker water-based liquids like syrups, juices and other water-based condiments. NeverWet is applied in a simple two-step process: Spray on NeverWet Base Coat and allow to dry for 30 minutes. Once dry, apply one to two coats of the NeverWet Top Coat. NeverWet applies clear and dries to a frosted haze. It can be exposed to water in as little as 30 minutes after the final application of Top Coat, and is fully cured in 12 hours. NeverWet can be reapplied when water no longer beads and rolls off the surface. One kit of NeverWet provides 10 to 15- square-feet of coverage.

Hi guys not been here for a while. The forums seem to have changed massively since I last posted!
An application I am developing has one of those "remember me for 30 days" features.
When a user logs out their persistent session is currently remembered. This means when they return later they are still automatically logged in. Does this idea seem right to people? Should logging out also destory your persistent session?
The system is also designed so that a user can have multiple persistent sessions mapped to a single username. When they log out should all of the sessions on other browsers/systems be deleted too?
Thanks for the feedback.
When you say the "user logs out" do you mean they simply close their browser or they actively click something to log out? The difference is huge, as far as I'm concerned. If the user set the 30 day feature and then just closes the browser, they should probably stay logged in. However, if the user actively attempts to log out then the 30 day rule is out the window and the session should be destroyed entirely.
Sorry for the lack of clarity. I mean when the user clicks the "log out" link.
If the user clicks the logout link then they should be logged out.
If they ticked "Remember Me" then their username should be filled in automatically on the login screen the next time they visit.
Yes, if they are logging out, they are logging out. Setting a cookie is for when they close the browser (or just the page tab). As part of the logout you should clear the cookie.
The cookie that identifies them as logged in should be cleared. The cookie that remembers their username so they don't need to type it the next time they log in should be kept.
The browser can do that without the cookie.
Not necessarily. It depends on the browser and the browser settings. If all browsers did that automatically there'd be no need for any login forms to include a "remember me" checkbox.
Should is only your opinion here. There may be privacy concerns - for example, after I log out I may not want other people to know that I was visiting the site. Especially when the email address is used as login. And really important on banking sites, etc. Also, as Morris said, every modern browser remembers input form data, so no need to replicate that with a cookie. I am the one who doesn't like seeing my username filled in automatically after I log out of the site.
And that is a good thing and let it stay that way - I can control this behaviour in my browser settings and I don't want web sites to impose on me filling in my username automatically.
If all browsers did that automatically there'd be no need for any login forms to include a "remember me" checkbox.
There is a difference between a browser remembering my credentials and "remember me" function. When I rely on my browser then I get logged out each time I end my session and when I come back I need to log in again through a login form so each time I come back I get to choose whether I want to log in (in a single click since my browser fills in my credentials) or browse the site as a guest. When I check "remember me" then each time I come back I am already logged in, no need to go through the login form again.
I don't think so. I may visit a site regularly from my home computer which uses a persistent session because I trust that no one will take advantage of that. However, I may occasionally log in to the same site on someone else's computer and then log out and I wouldn't want my home session to end.
Two things to concider: - when a user changes password then all his persistent sessions are deleted except the current one - optionally, you could enable users to delete all their persistent sessions if they wish, for example in the user control panel
