Discussion in 'Policies' started by diredesire, Jun 28, 2006.
Does anyone know what "tamn" stands for?
according to urban dictionary, it means DAMN! only better. I guess that's like zomg.
Stupid question time: What is trolling? What make someone a Troll?
Please don't say it's someone who asks stupid questions.
Why can't I post attachments.
If you're talking about photos - open an account on photobucket or something similar, download the photo onto that website, and copy/paste the image link onto your post.
If it's any other attachment, I don't think it's allowed.
To post a poll, create a thread as you normally would. Then, enter the thread and click on 'Thread Tools' which is on the bar directly above the post. Select 'Add a Poll to This Thread' - it will walk you through it.
Great thread!
Still looking for info on how to request a screen name or username change, Id rather not open a new account.
I searched a few times and this thread came up and I read all 3 pages but must have missed something,
and Happy Holidays!
User name changes requests are not generally honored unless there is a significant reason for doing so (for instance, if you registered a long time ago, when the board was much smaller, and used your full, real name, and now that the board is larger, you want to change it due to privacy reasons). Since your account is relatively young, chances are you're going to have to re-register.
Thanks but who would I put the request in to, I think its a fair request. My Current username was made before I started stringing and now I would like it to be something stringing related
How exactly do i re-size an image on paint? Thanks.
Google is your friend:
Done that. Still says "upload fail" even though i made it 80 x 80.
Then it's probably the file size that's too big, not the image size.
Upload the picture to an imagehost, such as tinypic, and I'll resize it for you!
What exactly does "flaming" mean? Does it mean there is a chance someone will take offence to something? I don't quite understand.
Who do I contact to have my profile deleted?
Look up the definition in the dictionary... Einstein.
The above is an example of flaming.
It is personal attacks or insults directed at another poster, bullying. We're supposed to, in theory, discuss things in a civil manner. Doesn't always happen that way, but that's the idea We can make fun of players, but things that are really offensive (racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc,) aren't supposed to happen. Mods can't catch everything all the time though.
Thanks both for the replies.
I would just add that sometimes even when the person being flamed doesn't complain, other people in the thread might be bothered by seeing it. So if you get reported for flaming, it might not necessarily be by the person you flamed.
Edit aviator?
Isn't that how the name of the French Open came about?
M1K for Masters 1000 appears to be gaining traction. Might we add it to the list of TTW jargon above?
Q: There's a poster who I simply can't stand. How do I ignore them?
A: Ignoring users is simple, but there are some caveats. All posts made by that user will now be invisible, but quoted posts from that user will still appear. To ignore, click the user's name --> Add user to ignore list. Or you may manage your Ignored users through your Profile Page.
I happen to think this policy is unnecessary and overall the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. More than that, it becomes a real problem if one of the ignored users starts a thread. Provoking users still can make a decent/useful topic once in a while. (i.e. A general tournament thread. Or being a total fanboy in one section but behaving like a reasonable user in another section of the forum) Posts other user will contribute in the said thread are no less valuable than usual just because of a thread starter's name. Now with the new policy you can't be aware that those threads exist at all and consequently lose accessibility to them completely, unless you're logged out, which creates a whole new array of inconvenience. If a user can't resist clicking view post anyway button it's their issue, let them deal with the result of their action. Please, have a rethink.
This isn't actually a policy, this is simply a feature of the message board. It's up to the user's discretion whether or not they decide the signal to noise ratio is too low and if they want to completely ignore the offending user's posts. Some people can take the "mature" route and filter and decide on a post-by-post basis whether or not a topic/post has value, others have decided a user is here on the boards with the sole purpose of trolling. It's up to the user to decide whether or not to ignore - if the feature bothers you, simply don't use it!
The adjunct moderator has returned!
It's a new year, anything can happen. Just wait a few weeks.
So if Mikeler is the Moderator and diredesire is Adjunct is that the sum total of Moderators on the board?
There's the full time TW Staff account, which is multiple people behind one screen name. But as far as volunteer/non-TW Staff moderators, yes. I'm an "adjunct mod" these days since I have much, much less time to dedicate to hanging out on the TTW boards than I used to. I pop in pretty frequently still, but there are stretches of time where I'm pretty unavailable. Things have changed a lot since... 12 years ago?
You seem to have quite a good job behind the scenes. So how do you get in contact with TW Staff moderators?
You can e-mail me directly @gmail.com, or click my name then click "Start a Conversation." If it's a general issue, or a specific post, you can report (as usual/before) and we all see it unless the "ticket" is filed as closed.
I have noticed that threads mysteriously vanish. Typically they involve WTA players, for example, complaints about screeching or threads assessing the looks of players. I see nothing in the guidelines to prohibit such threads.
Perhaps you should amend the guidelines to reflect that all threads must adhere to a hypersensitive PC standard. It's annoying to waste time on a thread that vanishes with no explanation.
I checked with TW Staff on your question. They will consider updating their policies but some of this stuff falls into the "trolling" category and thus is deleted.
I am somewhat upset. I've posted on this forum for more than a year and a half. I have more than 500 posts...and yet, I still don't get editing capabilities. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place? I'm guessing that it is my mistake. I posted a question to mods the other day, to no avail. I hope it is simply that it is a long weekend and that I will get a response soon.
Thank you for your help.
You should see an Edit button at the top of each post you make just to the right of your username and time of posting in light gray.
Thank you for this information
Need a post title edited. The title had the F-word in it twice but I only caught one of them!
It's anarticle on WADA in General Discussion. Thanks
Thread deleted, problem solved. Please see Rule #1 of this forum:
1. No obscene or profane language is allowed.
I know, poor editing on my part
Yeah it's a bummer. I started using the ignore feature on this site and others for the first time the past few weeks.
It's made the board(s) much more enjoyable in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, someone I ignore must start most of the tournament threads because they've vanished for me.
Obviously I'm intrigued as to who you want to ignore?
I find it an odd concept: some posters use the "you're on my ignore list" as if it's a weapon when really it's a blessing.
Personally I've never put any one on ignore because I feel it's a form of being bullied and allowing the bully free reign. Just my take. But if you feel happier avoiding said poster, then that's good too - whatever works for you.
Good luck
I ignore people whose posts have no value, i.e. expressing happiness about a player being injured. Not necessarily people I interact with. I find it ups the chances of me coming across interesting posts/threads.
Anyone know the max number of people I can tag in one post? How about in one thread?
How do you report someone who slams anyone who suggests a certain player won't win every single match?
I understand the ebb and flow and that everyone has a different style, but this person is over the top and is trolling anyone who says that a certain player "might" not win a match. It can crimp normal discussion on the forums.
I'm actually kind of worried about him and his mental state. Sorry to say that. I'm guessing that he (she?) is dependent emotionally on Fed winning every match.
Thank you.
Please use the report feature for a particular post in question.

The Fox Theatre's empty summer calendar said it all, but then came the official word: The venue was closing for the summer, and the reason given was "roof repairs."
"The Fox has been in existence for 20 years, so it's time," says Shannon Bock, a spokeswoman for Z2, the Fox's parent company. "We picked June and July, because that's definitely our slower season."
The students may be out of town, but do they need to take live music with them? We all know that Boulder's economy leans heavily on each year's influx of new students and their parents' money, but does the vitality of our arts depend on them as well?
The Fox's closing rekindles a conversation Boulder musicians and promoters often have with each other, and that is the lack of venues in Boulder. The Fox and the Boulder Theater — and Chautauqua Auditorium and Macky Auditorium, to a degree — keep a steady influx of national acts coming through town, but there is a distinct lack of a 100- to 200-person venue in town where local acts can stretch their wings and start developing an audience.
But there is hope for the local music scene. A number of restaurants, coffee shops, record stores and bars around town are moving tables and display cases to the sides and hosting live music anywhere from once a month to twice a weekend.
"I think there is a lack of venues in Boulder, and that will change. That will turn itself around," says Danny Shafer, a long-time Boulder musician who also books bands into two Pearl Street bars, the Pearl Street Pub and Conor O'Neill's. "But let's make the best of what we have right now."
Weekends at the Boulder Theater are booked solid this summer in part to compensate for the Fox's closing, as old-school acts like jazz guitarist Bill Frisell play within weeks of newer acts, like electronic dance DJ Porter Robinson. It's a massive venue for local acts, though — about 1,000 people fit for standing-only concerts — so most local bands are out of luck, and on the bill are mostly touring national acts, with the occasional local group, like Technicolor Tone Factory and Eminence Ensemble, thrown in for good measure.
Highlights: Victor Wooten Band, July 12; James Murphy's DJ set, Aug. 2
Playing at Absolute Vinyl, a record store east of Foothills Parkway on Arapahoe, is a blast. Owner Doug Gaddy pushes aside the record display cases, creating a small stage on the store's carpet. Bands play surrounded by art — colorful and famous records adorn the walls, and weird stuff, like a starched disco shirt, hangs from the ceiling. Gaddy hosts bands there once or twice a month, and here you can find music that other venues book rarely, from experimental jazz to — gasp! — actual rock bands. There may not be alcohol, as it's a record store, not a bar, so the store provides an atmosphere focused entirely on the music.
United Interests Sound Studios
UI Sound Studios is a production studio that's in that strange white building on the corner of Maxwell and Broadway. It's a relative newcomer to the concert game, and events there are still pretty informal, says Evan Reeves, the studio manager. There's a show the first or second Friday of every month (alas, UI is taking July off as well), and the band and audience squeeze into the recording studio for the show. There's usually an opener, Reeves says, and the shows are short — they aim to end the performances 90 minutes after the first song. Almost 60 people can watch the performance, and there's rarely a cover, just a suggested donation.
"It's not so tight that you feel that you're choking or something," Reeves says, acknowledging that things in the studio can get pretty intimate. "It's really very similar to hanging out in your living room listening to some great music."
Highlights: Faceman — With Eye and the Arrow, June 1
The Emich triplets that own and operate Shine have a history of hosting live music at their restaurants, so it's no surprise that Shine now hosts music two or three nights a week.
"We know the local music scene well, since we had Trilogy for almost 10 years and did shows about five times per week," says Jill Emich, who books bands for the restaurant. "When we sold we noticed and heard a lot of feed back
from musicians that there was a strong need for smaller venues to promote local artists and we wholeheartedly agreed, and so we were excited to create Shine and incorporate the live music."
The room where they host concerts is pretty glorious, too. It's a separate room walled off from the restaurant and lounge, and when it's standing room only, Emich says about 150 people can fit into the space.
"Singer-songwriters and folk music work well in the room," Emich says. "We do a monthly Troubadors series with up to eight singer-songwriter folk acts, and we also have monthly songwriting competitions. … We host some hip-hop reggae and world beat. We have done opera events and theatertype performances like burlesque that incorporate live singing and DJs. It is a great space for performance art like that."
Highlights: The Ladies Cabaret and Variety Show, June 6
Conor O'Neill's, Pearl Street Pub
We're lumping these two Pearl Street bars together since Shafer does the booking for both and books the same sort of bands into both venues.
"Both places, [the bands] can be fairly similar," Shafer says. "The bands that I like to book are bands that are into it, bands that are into playing, into their music, still creating and evolving. I like to book bands that are playing out other places that are part of the musical scene and community."
The Pub hosts bands in the room just inside the entrance, and the bands at Conor's play on a stage next to the bar in the back. Jam bands find a home at both places, as well as folk, funk and the occasional rock band.
Highlights: Springdale Quartet at Conor O'Neill's, June 23; George Nelson Quartet at the Pearl Street Pub, June 11
There isn't enough space to list all the venues in Boulder, but don't forget that the Brick House (next to the Lazy Dog Sports Bar & Grill), the Mountain/Southern Sun, The Laughing Goat, Caffè Sole, the Dark Horse and even the Sundown Saloon occasionally offer live music.
Boulder's music scene might be going through a rough patch, but there's hope.
"Boulder's been through so many phases with clubs, and there's always a worry that there's not going to be anywhere to play," Shafer says. "There is a lack right now, and it's really hard right now for musicians in some ways. So we need to be looking deep."

An electrical explosion in at a mixed-use condominium complex sent two workers to hospitals on Tuesday. One contractor was critically injured with 40% of his body burned, according to a report from the Westside Today. The other man suffered moderate burns.
The explosion happened in the electrical room in the basement of the Santa Monica, California, complex, which was not open and had no tenants yet. The blast apparently involved an electrical panel, the Associated Press reported.
Firefighters ventilated the structure and prevented anyone from entering until Southern California Edison crews arrived. The cause is under investigation by Southern California Edison and California OSHA.

Massage therapy is a growing, diverse field, one that provides opportunities for prospective students to pursue a variety of career paths across a wide range of settings, from private practices to hospitals, salons and spas to hotels. In 2014, US News and World Report named massage therapist as the 27th best career on its "The 100 Best Jobs" list. With growing demand for services, solid salary potential and a job with manageable work-life balance, it should come as no surprise that massage therapy is one of the top occupational fields in the country.
Massage therapy education and degree programs
The route to becoming a massage therapist typically follows two paths:
- A post-secondary certificate
- Diploma program
While associate degree programs are available, a majority of massage therapists do not have a degree at that level. According to survey data from ONET, 88 percent of massage therapists possess a post-secondary certificate, 9 percent have completed some college with no degree and 3 percent have a high school diploma or equivalent.
Although specific courses vary by school, college or technical institute, massage therapy programs are designed to equip students with the fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge of massage. A subset of example courses may include history of massage therapy, table mechanics and draping, anatomy and physiology and range of massage modalities such as Swedish massage, holistic massage, deep tissue massage and more.
Prospective students can pursue education from a variety of providers such as:
- Community colleges
- Technical institutes
- Vocational schools
As a general rule, students should follow educational guidelines from the American Massage Therapy Association, which recommends students complete at least 500 hours of in-class, supervised learning. It is also important to review state-level massage therapy rules and regulations as some states, such as Kentucky (600 hours), New Mexico (650 hours) and New York (1,000 hours) require more than the recommended 500 hours of study.
Secondly, students should review the accreditation of any institution. Some major, voluntary accrediting agencies include:
- The Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology
- The Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools
- The National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology
- The Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation
Massage therapy specializations
Depending on their professional goals, massage therapists can specialize in a number of specific areas, called modalities. Common massage modalities include the following:
- Clinical/medical massage therapy
- Fitness/sports massage therapy
- Spa & wellness massage therapy
- Chair massage
- Hypnotherapy
- Infant massage
- Myofascial release therapy
- Prenatal massage
- Reflexology
- Reiki
- Shiatsu
- Stone therapy
- Thai bodywork
- Trigger point
Massage therapy certification and licensing
In November 2014, the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) entered into a formal agreement on massage therapy and licensing. Previously, both FSMTB and NCBTMB offered formal licensing examinations to qualified massage therapists.
Under the new agreement, the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) will be the sole licensure examination for the industry, being sponsored by the FSMTB. The consolidation of licensing efforts will help establish licensing portability, allowing massage therapists to move freely without worrying about earning a license through multiple organizations.
In addition to meeting industry licensing requirements, massage therapists must also be aware of state-level regulations and examinations. Requirements vary by state; however, the FSMTB and NCBTMB are working with individual state massage boards to ensure a smooth transition under the new licensing agreement.
For example, the state of Alabama requires massage therapists to have 650 hours of study from a board approved massage therapy, complete 16 hours of continuing education credits every two years, pay application and licensing fees, as well as successfully pass the NCTMB certification examination.
Prospective students should review state licensing requirements available from the NCBTMB.

Salaries for massage therapists
In 2013, the national average salary for massage therapists was $40,400, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov). Overall 2013 salaries ranged from up to approximately $18,000 to upwards of $71,000. Below is a breakout of national salaries by earning percentiles:
- 10%: $18,280
- 25%: 24,380
- Median: $35,920
- 75%: $51,820
- 90%: $71,020
Some of the top paying massage industries in 2013 included ambulatory health care services ($55,700), specialty hospitals ($62,670) and physician offices ($60,610). Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals the top paying states included Alaska, New York and Oregon. Here is a list of the top five highest average salaries by state in 2013:
- Alaska: $88,500
- New York: $53,070
- Oregon: $52,850
- Washington: $51,680
- Delaware: $50,280
Job growth for massage therapists
Projected national growth of 23 percent is expected industry-wide between 2012 and 2022, according to BLS data. That growth means approximately 30,000 new jobs could be created during that time.
The states with the biggest number of employed massage therapists in 2013 included California (9,520), Florida (5,910), Texas (4,950), Washington (4,040) and New York (3,760). Twelve states are projected to experience employment growth at or faster than the national rate, including Washington (47.8%) and Utah (37.6%). Here are projections for the top five fastest growing states for massage therapists:
- Washington: 47.8%
- Utah: 37.6%
- Virginia: 35.2%
- Kentucky: 30.9%
- Illinois: 30.5%
With growing employment prospects, multiple career path specializations and solid potential career earnings, massage therapy should be an attractive educational option for today's prospective student.

Hot Rice Cereal
Here's one of our all-time favorite breakfasts. Everyone who tries this wants the recipe, so here it is. This is a great hot cereal for cold winter mornings. It's easy to fix and takes no time at all (if your rice is precooked).
Yields: 4 cups
|Precooked short grain brown rice
|2 Cups
|1.5 Cups
|Date pieces
|3/4 Cup
|Shredded coconut
|1/4 Cup
|1/2 tsp
|1/4 tsp
|1/4 Cup
|4 tsp
|2/3 cup, roasted/halved
|Sunflower seeds
|4 Tbs
It's best to cook the brown rice the night before and let it cool. We use short grain brown rice and cook it 2 parts water to 1 part rice. Bring the water to a boil and add the rice, bring back to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to very low and let cook for 45-50 minutes.
Combine cooked rice, date pieces, coconut, milk, nutmeg and cinnamon, in a saucepan on low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid burning on the bottom. Cook rice mixture for 15 minutes until creamy in texture. Add a small amount of water or milk if it gets too thick.
While the rice cereal is cooking, toast the almonds and cut them in half after toasting.
Remove the rice mixture from heat and add butter, almonds, sunflower seeds and honey (to taste) and serve in bowls.
Everybody cleans their bowl with this one!

Free entry to the park from 18-24 September.
Namaqua National Park is a favourite destination of flower enthusiasts for testing their knowledge of the colourful blooms. But not much is known about the creeping, crawling arachnids that seek shelter in this diverse habitat.
Through collecting samples of different arachnid species, para-ecologist Reginald Christiaan is on a mission to learn more about the distribution and habitat preferences of spider and scorpion species in the park.
Through funding from the South African National Biodiversity Intstitute (SANBI), Christiaan is gathering information on the diversity of eight-legged invertebrates, including spiders and scorpions.
While the conditions of the Namaqua National Park are often harsh – especially during the hot summer months – arachnids that find a haven in the park are well-adapted to survive there. But no-one has ever embarked on research regarding their distribution and habitat preferences within the park.
"The general lack of knowledge of arachnid diversity in the Northern Cape and the Succulent Karoo make this survey very important," says Christiaan, who is from Namaqua's neighbouring community, Soebatsfontein. This research will inform conservation planning and management in the park.
So far, Christiaan has already recorded 21 spider families represented by 60 species of spiders alone, and other very rare species. Two species recorded were previously only thought to be found in Namibia. One of these, the Hottentotta arenaceus, is a pale orange-yellow scorpion that was found in the coastal section in the park. Another species sampled, Asemesthis affinis Lessert 1933 (Gnaphosidae), is a ground spider, previously only thought to be found in Angola. Xysticus cribratus Simon, 1885 (Thomisidae), which is found from the Mediterranean to Korea and Sudan, was also recorded in the park. Three more species identified may be new discoveries, and are yet to be studied in order for certain identification to take place.
Searching for these creatures is no easy feat. Christiaan and co-workers look under rocks and rustle bushes to gather samples, and use ultra-violet light at night to search for scorpions. These samples are then sent to the National Collection of Arachnida at the ARC-Plant Protection Research Institute in Pretoria, where final identification is made.
This research will form part of the South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA) data set and will provide valuable information on the distribution of species to be used in compiling the first Red Data List for arachnids.

February 15, 1990
To: The San José State University Community
From: President Gail Fullerton
Suject: Pedestrian Safety from Bicycle, Skateboard, Rollerskates and Similar Devices: supersedes PD89-03
This Presidential Directive is a refinement of P089-03, which it supersedes. The major change is a modification of the hours during which bicycle riding is regulated on and through the campus. This directive regulating the use of bicycles and prohibiting the use of skateboards, rollerskates and similar devices was developed in response to the coded memorandum BA 88-06 from Vice-Chancellor of Business Affairs, D. Dale Hanner, reference Bicycle and Skateboard Safety on Campus. Several SJSU campus committees have reviewed this topic over the past two years and made recommendations. PD89-03 was developed from these recommendations.
After PD89-03 was issued but before it was implemented there were further discussions with the Associated Students in which the hours of regulation for bicycles was a focal point. With the caution that late at night it is always safer for the bicyclist to ride away from buildings, preferably along a well-lighted street, this revised directive regulates bicycle riding on campus only during the times when pedestrian traffic is likely to be present.
The purposes of this presidential directive are to reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians that bicycles and skateboards pose and to reduce the risk of injury to persons riding skateboards in areas not intended for that purpose. It is not intended to discourage the use of bicycles or other alternative means of transportation to travel to and from campus. However, once the rider has the bicycle or other alternative transportation vehicle on the campus, it must be regulated. The University does not permit automobile traffic to operate unregulated on the campus and it cannot allow bicycles and skateboards to be operated at will on campus.
- Definitions:
- The vehicles being restricted are bicycles, unicycles, skateboards, roller skates, and similar devices.
- Speed:
- Speed of these vehicles shall be safe and prudent at sit times.
- Walking with vehicles:
- Walking with any of the vehicles described above is permitted throughout the campus.
- Vehicle Restriction Areas:
- Skateboards, roller skates, and similar devices may not be ridden on the San José State University campus. This section is effective 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
- During the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, bicycles and unicycles shall not be ridden on campus except for those areas indicated, below. Exception: This restriction is not to include any wheeled device specified for use by the disabled, nor is it to include vehicles necessary to campus operations.
- Bicycles and unicycles may not be parked in any but designated areas. Bicycles and unicycles are not permitted in buildings; a bicycle that might block an exit to a building or office could cause serious injury to a visually impaired person or create problems in an emergency situation. The University Police are empowered to impound any bicycles parked in other than designated bicycle parking racks.
- Vehicle Use Areas:
- Bicycles and unicycles may be ridden on the following street. (within a prescribed bicycle lane when this is provided): 4th Street, 7th Street except between Clark Library and Engineering, 9th Street, 10th Street, San Carlos Street, San Salvador Street and San Fernando Street, 5th Street south of San Carlos Street, 8th Street between San Salvador Street and San Carlos Street.
- Enabling Clause:
- These restrictions will not take effect until appropriate signs are posted and sufficient bicycle racks are provided as determined by the University Police Department. These regulations will be enforced in accordance with California Vehicle Code Section 21113(a).

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Some of the largest U.S. financial institutions are "actively under attack" from hackers, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
"Right now, financial institutions are actively under attack. We know that. I'm not giving you any classified information," Napolitano said Wednesday during a cybersecurity event sponsored by The Washington Post. "I will say this has involved some of our nation's largest institutions."
Stock exchanges also have been subject to cyberattacks during the last few years so officials know "there are vulnerabilities," she said.
She didn't elaborate about the cyberattacks, The Hill reported.
"All I want to say is that there are active matters going on with financial institutions," she said.
Earlier this fall, the public websites of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and others were victims of denial of service attacks, rendering them inaccessible to customers, The Hill said.
The nation needn't look any further than the havoc created by Hurricane Sandy to understand the need to boost cybersecurity protections, she said.
"If you think that a critical systems attack that takes down a utility even for a few hours is not serious, just look at what is happening now that Mother Nature has taken out those utilities," the secretary said.
Napolitano called on Congress to pass legislation that would help shield critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. Senate Republicans had blocked such a bill, arguing it would add additional costs onto businesses and saddle them with new security rules.
Asked how President Obama may address cybersecurity if he wins re-election, Napolitano said he "shares our concerns" and likely would act, Politico reported. "I think he will have to consider an executive order that covers many of the areas legislation would cover, but it's not a complete substitute for legislation," Napolitano said. "There are some things only legislation can provide."

AMD to ship 65nm single-core Athlons this month?
'Lima' core coming 'mid-January', moles maintain
AMD will this month ship 'Lima', the 65nm version of its single-core Athlon 64 processor, it has been claimed by motherboard-maker moles. They allege recent AMD roadmaps show the 65nm Athlon 64 3500+ and 3800+ will appear "mid-January".
Details of Lima emerged back in November 2006, but then the part was said to be scheduled simply for a Q1 2007 introduction. Today, industry sources cited by Chinese-language website HKEPC provided the tighter timeframe.
The Lima chips contain 512KB of L2 cache. Their internal memory controllers support DDR 2 SDRAM clocked at up to 800MHz. The cores of the 3500+ and 3800+ are clocked at 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz, respectively, it's said. Both have a TDP of 45W.
A 2.6GHz 65nm Athlon 64 4000+ is due in Q2 2007, past reports claim. ®

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwire - Jan. 23, 2013) - Caza Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Caza" or the "Company") (TSX:CAZ)(AIM:CAZA) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on the Company's Lennox Prospect ("Lennox") in Lea County, New Mexico. The Lennox State Unit 32 No. 2H horizontal well is the initial test well at Lennox.
Lennox Prospect, Lea County, New Mexico. As stated above, the Lennox State Unit 32 No. 2H horizontal well has commenced drilling. The well will be drilled to a total vertical depth of approximately 11,850 feet with a total measured depth of approximately 14,740 feet. The primary target is the Bone Spring Sands with potential secondary targets in the Delaware, Lower Brushy Canyon, Avalon Shale and Wolfcamp.
After selling an additional 7.5% working interest on a promoted basis and trading a 20% working interest on an acreage basis between Lennox and Madera/Roja Prospects (see below), Caza now has a 40.00% working interest before payout (31.88% net revenue interest) and a 50.00% working interest after payout (39.85% net revenue interest) in the Lennox State Unit 32 No. 2H well.
Madera and Roja Prospects, Lea County, New Mexico. The Company completed a working interest trade ahead of drilling at Lennox for interests in leases on two new Company projects called Madera and Roja Prospects ("Madera" and "Roja"). Caza traded a 20% non-operated working interest (15.94% net revenue interest) in the Lennox leases in return for a 20% non-operated working interest (16% net revenue interest) in two leases covering approximately 1,680 acres operated by Occidental Petroleum Corporation ("OXY"). OXY is expected to propose two wells, one on each lease, later this year.
Roja is a 280 acre lease located approximately 18 miles south of the Company's Copperline Prospect, and Madera is a 1,400 acre lease located approximately 20 miles south of Copperline. Both prospects contain target objectives similar to the Company's other Bone Spring projects, namely: Delaware, Lower Brushy Canyon, Avalon Shale, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Bone Spring Sands and Wolfcamp.
Copperline Prospect, Lea County, New Mexico. The Company has filed for an Application for Permit to Drill (APD) the Caza Ridge 14 State No. 4H horizontal well. This well will be a direct offset to the Caza Ridge 14 State No. 3H horizontal 3rd Bone Spring well and is currently scheduled to be drilled later this year.
Caza will have a 58.75% working interest (45.97% net revenue interest) in the Caza Ridge 14 State No. 4H well.
Quail Ridge Prospect, Lea County, New Mexico. The Quail "16" State No. 4H horizontal well has reached its intended total depth of 15,605 feet measured depth and will be completed in the 3rd Bone Spring Sand. Once the well is fracture stimulated, it will be brought online. The operator intends to skid the rig to the Quail "16" State No. 6H horizontal well location and commence drilling operations to the 3rd Bone Spring Sand. Caza has elected to participate in the Quail "16" State No. 6H well.
The Quail Ridge wells, which offset the Company's Lynch property, have produced positive results, and despite having a small non-operated participation interest in the wells, the Company continues to gain valuable information for future drilling at Lynch and other Company projects.
Caza has a 0.25% working interest (0.1875% net revenue interest) in the Quail "16" State Nos. 4H and 6H wells.
Company Bone Spring Prospects, Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico. The Bone Spring formation in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico, contains multiple potential pay zones for oil and liquids-rich natural gas. Caza's current prospects in the horizontal Bone Spring play are Lynch, Forehand Ranch, Forehand Ranch South, Lennox, Copperline, Mad River, Azotea Mesa, Bradley 29, Two Mesas, Quail Ridge, Rover, West Rover, West Copperline, Madera and Roja. The Company has acquired approximately 4,070 net acres in the play to date. Leasing and drilling activity continues to increase in the play and initial producing well rates continue to improve with technological advances in drilling and frac designs. The Company is well positioned in the play, and continues to exploit opportunities to build on its current acreage position.
W. Michael Ford, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"We continue to progress our Bone Spring drilling program in southeast New Mexico, and are very pleased to have commenced drilling operations on the Lennox horizontal Bone Spring prospect. This is the Company's third operated Bone Spring test well with a material participation interest since August 2012. We are equally pleased to have closed the working interest trade for interests in Madera and Roja prospects. These are very good projects, and we look forward to participating in test wells to be drilled on them along with a development well at Copperline later this year."
"Additionally, the Quail Ridge wells continue to produce good results and provide valuable drilling and completion information. This bodes well for future drilling operations on our Lynch property, located in the adjacent section, as well as the Company's other horizontal Bone Spring projects."

I find myself here packing up my things and I honestly can't imagine how it's time to get prepare to leave already. I've done so much this semester, seen so many things and had so many new experiences, that looking at myself now I can tell there's a difference between who I am and who I was when I arrived. That girl was a tangle of nerves and uncertainty, and now I feel so much more confident in myself and in my faith, as well as so much more enriched by experiencing another part of the globe. It's an experience like no other, and I couldn't feel more blessed to have had such an opportunity.
I've been kind of MIA from this for over a month because I was exploring the rest of the United Kingdom and Ireland. I took as many pictures in three weeks as I have the rest of the semester combined, and it's a bit surreal to me that I've gotten to go all of those places- London, Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Inverness, Loch Ness, Stirling, Edinburgh, Dublin, Galway, and the long stretches of landscape in between. I met a myriad of new people from all over the world and saw places that some people only dream of visiting. It wasn't all butterflies and rainbows, of course, with chilly nights, strict money management, missing buses, getting lost, and getting sick. I'm happy for those parts, too, though, because if anything is a really good test of faith, traveling troubles are; like this whole semester, really, it truly was through God's grace that finding solutions to our problems were possible.
If anyone ever asks me, I would hands down recommend studying abroad. If not that, then just travel in general. You don't realize just how much more there is out there until you do; now that I've had a taste, I can't wait until I can head back out and see some other corners of the map. Study abroad makes seeing more places and spending more time, as well as learning more about the culture, more possible than simply traveling does. It also provides a setting where you grow and discover things about yourself almost as much as you do about where you are staying. Still, though, even if it's just a trip for a week or two weeks, it is an intensely beautiful and astounding world we've been given, and if the opportunity presents itself, I can't imagine not taking the chance to explore it.

It has been said that more books have been written about the Battle of the Little Bighorn than any other battle in our nation's history. Yet as we approach its 137th anniversary, the fight remains shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. The herofication of Colonel Custer has clouded understanding of a debacle that was clearly understood by the people of the time. Following is a partial transcription of an editorial that was printed in the Chicago Tribune on July 7, 1876, just 13 days after the battle:
"Custer ... was a brave, brilliant soldier, handsome and dashing, but he was reckless, hasty and impulsive, preferring to make a daredevil rush and take risks rather than to move slower and with more certainty. And it was his own mad-cap haste, rashness and love of fame that cost the service the loss of many brave officers and gallant men. No account seems to have been taken of the numbers or leadership of the Sioux ... no account was taken of the fact that General Gibbon was coming to the Little Big Horn with re-enforcements, only a day's march behind, although General [sic] Custer was aware of it. He preferred to make a reckless dash and take the consequences, in the hope of making a personal victory and adding to the glory of another charge, rather than wait for the sufficiently-powerful force to make the fight successful and share the glory with others. He took the risk, and he lost."
Yet for all the debate and mystery that surrounds the minute-by-minute events of the battle, there exists a clear historical record to the central figure in this seminal event in America's Western history, George Armstrong Custer.
After graduating last in his class at West Point and setting a record for demerits and reprimands, Custer quickly proved his willingness to please his superiors and to succeed at any cost. Rising rapidly through the ranks, Custer became the youngest man ever to attain the rank of general. Custer's fearlessness and aggressiveness resulted in many Civil War victories but at the cost of troops under his command suffering the highest casualty rate in the war.
One specific incident during the Civil War would provide particular insight into Custer's character. In 1864, General U.S. Grant issued an order that stated any men fighting under the command of Confederate Colonel John S. Mosby that were captured, should be summarily executed. The order, relayed through Union General Phil Sheridan, was ignored by all but one of General Sheridan's subordinates, and that lone exception was General George A. Custer. Custer captured six of Colonel Mosby's men in September of 1864 and had them shot to death on the streets of Fort Royal, Va. (http://www.brotherhooddays.com/sources.html]34). Soon after the end of the Civil War, Custer's ruthless behavior and naked ambition would be brought to bear against the Plains People.
Anxious to prove himself an "Indian Fighter," Custer was given a command with which he scoured the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, hoping to engage any Indians he might find. During this command, Custer had deserters shot without benefit of hearings — in spite of the fact Custer himself on numerous occasions deserted his command to be in the company of his wife or to go off on hunting expeditions. In September of 1867, Custer was court-martialed and convicted of abandoning his command and having deserters executed. He was sentenced to a one-year suspension without pay for these crimes.
Ten months later, General Phil Sheridan reinstated Custer to command a campaign against the Southern Cheyenne in Oklahoma. Desperate for action that would redeem his honor, Custer came upon a peaceful camp of Southern Cheyenne camped along the Washita River, on Nov. 28, 1868.
This encampment was nearby an U.S. Army outpost and under the leadership of the "peace chief," Black Kettle. The tipi of Black Kettle flew a large U.S. flag identifying the camp as a "friendly village." Black Kettle was given this flag by the United States government and told that as long as it flew over his lodge, he and his people would be under the protection of the United States Army.
Custer's scouts identified this small camp circle as a friendly village and warned the general not to attack. Custer ignored his scouts and ordered any man shot that attempted to prevent his plans for attack the next morning. As Custer planned the attack on the village, he did not conduct reconnaissance of the village and surrounding area.
The next morning, Nov. 29, 1868, marching to his favorite tune "Gary Owen," Custer and his soldiers attacked the village. The 67-year-old Black Kettle and his wife, Medicine Women Later, walked toward the attacking cavalry, carrying a white flag and calling out for peace. Black Kettle and Medicine Woman Later were shot down and killed. Their bodies and the white flag were trampled under the hooves of the horses and into the bloody mud, as the Calvary advanced on the village.
Black Kettle, always a voice for peace and accommodation with the Whites, was to be betrayed in his trust a second time. First at the Massacre of Sand Creek when his people were butchered by the Methodist preacher, John Chivington, and a second and final time along the banks of the river known as the Washita. One-hundred and three Cheyenne people died there along with Black Kettle and his wife. Ninety-two of the dead were women, children and old people unable to flee the advance of Custer and his troops.
As the Cheyenne warriors fought a rear-guard action to protect the fleeing villagers, Custer ordered a contingent of 18 men under the command of Lt. Joel Elliot to cut off the escape route of the terrified villagers. The Cheyenne were running in the direction of the rest of the strung-out encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho people. There were, unknown to Custer because of his lack of reconnaissance, over 6,000 other Native people camped further downstream on the Washita this day.
Lt. Elliot and his men rode into the face of warriors riding down to investigate the sounds of gunfire coming from Black Kettle's camp. As the sounds from this ensuing battle made its way to Custer's position, Custer realized he was in grave danger. He abandoned his position and left Lt. Elliot and his men without support. Lt. Elliot and his men were all killed.
Custer skillfully manipulated the reporting of these facts and escaped responsibility for abandoning Lt. Elliot and his men. Custer was hailed as a hero for his actions. The fact that he had knowingly attacked a peaceful camp of Indian people and slaughtered over 100 Cheyenne men, women and children did little to tarnish the luster of his growing popularity with the American people. After the massacre at the Washita, Custer was mentioned as a possible candidate for president by the press and many prominent politicians.
In 1873, Colonel D.S. Stanley, Custer's superior officer on a surveying expedition along the Yellowstone, would write to his wife about Custer: "(Custer is) a cold-blooded, untruthful and unprincipled man ... universally despised by all the officers of his regiment."
Colonel Custer would, three years later confirm Stanley's assessment of him as he led a hasty attack on a gathering of Lakota and Northern Cheyenne people on June 25, 1876, at the place called the Greasy Grass. Remembering the lessons of Sand Creek and the Washita massacres, the Lakota and Cheyenne fought back rather than retreat. Custer's actions led 267 soldiers, 34 Lakota and 7 Cheyenne people to their deaths that hot day in June.
Colonel Stanley would eventually rise on his merits to the rank of brigadier general. But history seldom mentions the steady Colonel Stanley and all but forgets his prophetic assessment of Custer's character. Custer would in defeat, rise to mythic status in Western history and folklore of that of a gallant American hero, and defy in death an accounting of his life.
Elizabeth Bacon Custer, the colonel's widow, devoted the rest of her life to a largely successful attempt to rehabilitate the image of her late husband. She wrote of her efforts: "There will come a time when tradition and history are so intermingled that no one will be able to separate them." (http://www.brotherhooddays.com/sources.html)
Mrs. Custer lived until 1933, and died just two days short of her 91st birthday. To quote Robert Paul Jordan, "... she remained George Custer's greatest admirer, brooking no detractions, singing his praises in three books. She described their military life and adventures simply and clearly and with something less than the whole truth." (http://www.brotherhooddays.com/sources.html)
Popular culture continues to wrap Colonel Custer and the fallen men of the Seventh Calvary in glory. Yet the fallen men of the Lakota and Cheyenne that fought to protect their women, children and old ones are seldom remembered.
Following is a list of names of the 31 men of the Lakota and Cheyenne People that fell in battle at the place called "The Greasy Grass."

Six Lakota women and four infants were also killed in Custer's assault upon their village. I regret not having their names. After killing the 14-year-old boy, Wicohan, these un-named women and infants were the next victims of Custer's attack. Before any warriors were confronted and engaged by the Seventh Calvary and their scouts, 11 defenseless women and children were killed. There are many still that defend Colonel Custer's actions at the Greasy Grass. They seldom mention this crucial part of the story. We should remember.

When the Moto X was announced, many people were incredibly disappointed. Most of that disappointment didn't stem from hardware or features, but price. Charging a high-end price for a phone that's not quite high-end did not seem right to many, and we understand. However, some held out hope that the Google Play edition of the device would be Moto X's saving grace in the enthusiast sector.
Thinking about it, a Google Play edition of the Moto X makes very little sense. The device already runs a build of Android that's fairly close to stock, so AOSP fans should be fairly happy with the stock ROM as it is. Plus, taking out its "always listening" features would be ridiculous, considering how much hardware they dedicated to it. The Moto X8 chip would be rendered useless.
Luckily, Guy Kawasaki has confirmed that the Moto X that will be sold on the Play Store won't be a Google Play edition. Instead, Google will be selling the same device that's going out to carriers, extra software features and all. While this is great news to us, the most important detail is still unknown, and that is the price. Not many will pay $600 for a Moto X, so they'll need to price it very well.
If Motorola's near-stock ROM isn't good enough for some AOSP enthusiasts, that's fine! It's rumored that Motorola will be making the next Nexus phone, so you may get your AOSP Motorola needs fulfilled soon. We'll see when Google announces the new Nexus phone, won't we? Are you happy that Motorola will keep its software features on the Google Play Moto X? Or would you rather have real AOSP? Leave a comment!

Shell Drops Proposal for an Offshore LNG Terminal
The cancellation is part of ongoing shakeout in the LNG import industry, which spawned more than three-dozen proposals for sites around the United States after prices rose and concerns grew about an impending domestic U.S. gas shortage.
Now that prices and demand have flattened, a number of other projects have been delayed or canceled.
But others are going forward. Earlier this year, the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) licensed two new terminals off Boston and the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved two more onshore on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
I've been doing a fair number of talks and speeches lately, and people always ask me how we can stop Broadwater. One possibility for slowing the process down, if not stopping it, is to demand that the projects's environmental impact statement be done over, as I argued here.
It's obvious from all the written testimony submitted by various government agencies that the DEIS was inadequate, to say the least. So the Federal Energy Regulatory Administration needs to issue a supplement and then hold a new public review period. If we're lucky, the "ongoing shakeout" will shake out the Shell-TransCanada proposal.
The other obvious course is to let New York State officials know what you think.
It's worth keeping in mind that the state Department of State must determine that the LNG terminal is consistent with state policies for the use of the coastal zone. It's also worth remembering that the Department of State has already hinted that the proposal is lacking in the consistency department. Read this, for example.

Thread: The NEW QB Rating System
The NEW QB Rating System
I saw this article and thought it was interesting. Looks like ESPN is trying to make the QB Rating actually MEAN something.
Mike Tirico lays it all out HERE.
Michael Vick led the NFL with 6.8 yards per rushing attempt last season, but the system the league uses to rate QBs gives him no credit for the 676 yards or nine TDs his legs generated. Conversely, Jay Cutler lost 352 yards on sacks, but Osi Umenyiora could still be planting Cutler near Jimmy Hoffa and passer rating wouldn't notice.
JJ: You look like the Pilsbury Dough Boy!
Chuck: HeeHee!
Sizzle: You say something about biscuits??

Re: The NEW QB Rating System
Interesting concept.
I found this link that gives some additional information, but I don't see any sources in my search which actually provide the entire specific algorithm/process/set of steps/whatever on how to calculate the QBR.
The other thing I think I understand is that some of the "values" used are subjective. If so, who's the final authority on stuff like the "clutch index"? That seems very subjective and open to debates on what's important and what's not during a game.

It's ESPN.
Of course it's subjective. They need to leave open the ability to jock Sanchez after a sub par game.

Re: The NEW QB Rating System
No one's going to buy this "stat". Too many variables that we can't see or measure, and some parts are way too subjective. Who's measuring "clutchness"? Dilfer? Jaworski? Get out of here. That's not a stat, it's an opinion, and that makes it just as worthless as any other opinion, regardless of how they try to dress it up.
If anything, we should be trying to get rid of the passer rating stat we have now, not trying to make a new one.
Why do we need a rating to tell us if a QB is good or not? We don't have RB and WR ratings. We just know that if a guy is catching 100 balls for 1,400 yards and 12 TD, he's pretty good...and if he's running for 1,500 and catching another 500, he's pretty good.
Can't we do the same with QB? Just say that a guy who goes over 4k with 30 TD is pretty good? Why do we have to have some ridiculous improperly-weighted formula that results in weird numbers like 158.3, and then use that rating in debates and pretend it's some kind of end-all be-all on how good a QB is?
Get rid of both of them.

Re: The NEW QB Rating System
And lest anyone actually need proof that this ESPN rating is just as bad as the existing passer rating:
Vince Young's 2009 season (69.2 QBR) is ranked as better than Kurt Warner's 2008 season (66.5).
Vince Young 2009 started 10 games, threw for 1,879 yards with a 58.7% completion rate, a whopping 10 TD and 7 INT. He had another 281 yds and 2 TD rushing. He was managing the offense behind Chris Johnson, who ran for 2,000 yards that year.
Kurt Warner 2008 threw for 4,583 yards, 30 TD and 14 INT, with a 67.1% completion rate. He played on a team that had the WORST rushing offense in the league, a below average defense (19th), and put the team on his back, carried them to a Super Bowl, and was in a position to win it with 2 minutes left, before the Roethlisberger drive.
So why is Young's season better? I'd ask someone to explain it, but no one can because no one has any idea what the fuck ESPN is doing to formulate these ratings. And that makes them absolutely worthless.

Judge frees 'bully killer'
A Florida teenager who stabbed a schoolmate to death will not face any criminal charges, a judge ruled this week in Naples, Fla.
Fifteen-year-old Jorge Saavedra was facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of Dylan Nuno, 16, after a judge ruled the boy's action against a bully amounted to self-defense, naplesnews.com reports.
(Collier County Circuit Judge Lauren) Brodie based her decision this week on the findings from a two-day December hearing, during which students who witnessed the events Jan. 24, 2011, testified that several teens announced the fight on the bus, and Saavedra got off several stops early in Golden Gate Estates. …
In a nine-page document released Tuesday by the State Attorney's Office, Brodie stated that by getting off the bus several stops before the location where the fight was to happen, Saavedra "demonstrated that, with or without a knife, (he) had no desire to fight with Dylan Nuno."
According to testimony, Nuno, a junior, followed Saavedra, a freshman, off the bus and punched him in the back of the head. Saavedra tried to get away.
He then stabbed Dylan Nuno 12 times in the chest and abdomen. Two of the blows caused fatal wounds, including one that nicked his heart.

In case you missed it, last month Travel + Leisure named the High Line as No. 10 on its list of the world's most popular landmarks.
It sounds crazy to us – that in the three short years since the first section of the park opened to the public, the High Line has already become a worldwide destination. What began as a wild idea at a community board meeting more than 12 years ago, with two strangers joining together to advocate for the preservation of an abandoned, elevated freight rail line, is now an extraordinary public park recognized among the likes of renowned icons like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Millions of people are visiting each year, making the High Line the most visited park per acre in the city. In 2011, the High Line welcomed more than 3.7 million visitors – that's almost double what we saw in 2010. According to recent visitor surveys, nearly 50 percent of the High Line's visitors are New Yorkers, while the remaining half is split between American and foreign visitors.
We are delighted that the High Line has received so much praise and attention, and we are also humbled by the implications. The High Line's success is helping attract visitors to New York City and to local businesses, and tourism dollars generate important tax revenue to support local government services. But there's a downside to the park's popularity – anyone who has visited the High Line on a warm sunny day knows that the park can be very crowded.
Our challenge is to figure out how to sustain the park as a special place for New Yorkers, and we are actively working toward this goal. We are exploring ways to make it easier for New Yorkers to know when visitation is at its peak, such as live web cams, Twitter updates, and more. We regularly update the community on park happenings and ask neighbors to share their ideas for public events. We run field trip and education programs to instill a sense of park ownership among our youngest neighbors. We design public programs for New Yorkers by asking local teens to help curate our film screenings, scheduling tours and talks at convenient times for students and professionals, and creating meaningful volunteer opportunities to build local stewardship of the High Line.
We know there is more that we can do, and we would love to hear your feedback. Share your ideas by sending an email firstname.lastname@example.com.
