Crusaders Sports
Daily News - Stepinac
Posted Sunday, November 13, 2011 by Elio Velez
Archbishop Stepinac beats Xaverian, 27-21 in overtime, to advance to CHSFL Class AAA title game
Crusaders cause turnover on final play
Saturday, November 12 2011, 9:16 PM
Miller for New York Daily News
Mike O'Donnell leads Stepinac into the CHSFL title game.
Archbishop Stepinac was just yards away from seeing its dream of reaching its first CHSFL AAA title game slip away.
After committing five turnovers in Saturday's CHSFL semifinal game against Xaverian, luck — or fate — finally went Stepinac's way in overtime.
After Stepinac went ahead by six in OT, Austin Taps stripped the ball away from Clippers quarterback Zach Kearney on the Stepinac 2-yard line, and the ball was recovered by Shane Hogan to seal the second-seeded Crusaders' 27-21 win over No. 3 Xaverian in White Plains.
Committing a bunch of turnovers, along with missing two field goals and an extra point, could have cost Stepinac the game. But its fortitude, along with contributions from junior quarterbacl Mark White, who rushed for 114 yards and scored two touchdowns, sent the Crusaders to their first Class AAA title appearance 's next weekend.
"It's like a roller coaster today. That was the best way to do it," White said afterward. "I waited for a whole entire lifetime for a moment like this."
It is actually the second straight year Stepinac will play for a championship, since the Crusaders were promoted to the "AAA" division this year after going undefeated and winning the "AA" title last season.
Saturday's game had so many ups and downs.
Stepinac (8-2) looked as if it had control in the third quarter when White scored on a 2-yard run to give the Crusaders a 14-7 lead with 6:65 left .
Vincent Narog increased the advantage to 21-7 as he took a reverse for a 75-yard score.
But a young, and quick, Xaverian team quickly responded.
First, Kearney scored his second rushing touchdown of the day, a 18-yard effort, to cut the deficit to 21-14.
The Clippers then evened the score at 21-21 with 7:52 remaining when Kearney, who rushed for 109 yards and completed 13 of 16 passes for 116 yards , connected with TuShaun Plummer on a 10-yard scoring pass.
After White scored on a 7-yard touchdown run in overtime, the Crusaders had their extra point attempt blocked.
But with Xaverian close to tying the game, and then possibly winning it with an extra point, Hogan recovered Kearney's fumble.
Now, the Crusaders' title hopes are alive and well.
"It's unbelievable," Hogan said. "We're not done. We have one more game to go."

Healthy eating and arthritis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfyLFH99yCU Eating a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight can have a huge impact on health and wellbeing. Here, we look at how healthy eating can help reduce the symptoms of arthritis.
This is a condensed version. To read the full version, download our Healthy Eating and Arthritis booklet here.
In this section:
- A healthy lifestyle
- A healthy diet
- Links between diet and arthritis
- Supplements
- Sources of further help and information
A healthy lifestyle
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important when you have arthritis – it will help you manage your condition and stop it getting worse. By eating a varied diet, taking the right amount of exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, you should be able to enjoy generally good health.
Achieving a healthy body weight
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most effective things you can do to reduce the symptoms of arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis. Just losing a small amount of weight can reduce strain on your back or in the joints of your legs. Making sure you are not underweight will help give your body the strength needed to get through a flare-up.
There are many different guides to determining if a person's weight is considered to be within a healthy range. One of most commonly used indicators is the body mass index (BMI).
Controlling calorie intake
A reasonably active woman needs an intake of around 2,000 calories per day, and a reasonably active man needs around 2,500 calories. But these are average guidelines; every individual has unique nutritional requirements, depending on age, gender, body size and level of activity.
People with arthritis benefit from three types of exercise:
- Stretching exercises – to ease joint pain and improve joint movement
- Strengthening exercises – to keep your muscles strong, which will help relieve stress and pain in your joints (such as Pilates)
- Aerobic exercises – to achieve and maintain general fitness (such as walking, cycling or general fitness classes).

From Richmond, Virginia, USA:
My 10 year old daughter has had diabetes for six years. Last year, she went on the pump. We both love it! Lately though, we are having trouble with the site coming off during the night. I have tried covering the site with Op-site, but my daughter says it itches. We have used anti-itch creams to ease the itch of previous sites. I don't know how to help her. Any suggestions?
She may be getting sweaty at night which will cause the adhesive to loosen on the infusion set. First, make sure that the skin has been cleaned with something like Op-site which gets rid of the topical fat cells. Secondly, you can use a sports adhesive or Nu-Skin under the tape portion of the infusion set to help it stick better. Third, make sure you coil the excess tubing and fasten it to prevent tension and the catheter pulling out.
These suggestions usually work. I hope they do for your daughter.

(Oxford, MS) Regis Mister, the 25-year-old son of Dr. Carol Levett Gary, was arrested for Friday's double murder in Oxford, Miss.
Gary and her 12-year-old son, Patrick Earl Gary, Jr., were found dead from gunshot wounds in their home in the South Oaks subdivision in the 200 block of County Road 301.
Mister, a former officer in Yalobousha County who was living with them, called police this morning.
"We know Regis as a productive citizen," Chief Joey East said. "We've not had any encounter with him of violence or crime."
He was at the home when police arrived and admitted to the crime. Other family members were also present when authorities arrived.
Mister is charged with two counts of murder.
East said there is "no motive at this time...nothing that would explain this tragedy."
Gary was the principal at Davidson Elementary School in Water Valley, Miss.
Dozens of people who knew the victims came to offer their condolences.
The outpouring of support was no surprise to people who worked with Gary.
"I was not surprised to see as many people as I saw. Because I know she touched many lives," said Calendra Morgan.
Morgan said Gary was more than an administrator, "I mean she meant business but you could talk to her about personal issues as well. And I am going to miss her."
News Channel 3 has confirmed that the Mississippi State Auditor has been investigating Mister for embezzlement since June 2012.

|Viewing Single Post From: LATEST RATINGS: DAYS Sees HUGE gains
|Aug 23 2008, 03:36 PM
I just read in the paper that women were leading in the Olympic viewing by a huge number...not so much men watching the Olympics...so for some reason, men had a huge jump in viewership at Days? I don't know what that is all about.
So some people are saying that we will see Ed's stuff in September/October? Really? And that Dena wrote the film noir and Stefano gassing? Interesting.
At this point, I don't care who wrote what. Nobody really knows and I really get the impression that everyone is just guessing.
I am just reveling in the fact that Days got some great gains and I hope it continues to improve!
Great posts all around, Pheonix. I totally agree.

MySQL Performance Blog gets new server.
Try number two. We have moved to the new server yet again, now it is server hosted by ServerBeach as recommended by Kevin Burton and few other guys.
Lets hope this will run stable and we'll not need to move it back in emergency in less than a week as we had to last time.
Up to this point it all was running pretty well, with only minor issues. We got CentOS 5 on the box as we wanted, however we could not request custom partitioning – I really prefer to keep all important data on LVM volume so it is easy to backup.

you should really take a look at softlayer.com. the private network and support is unbeatable.
been reading the blog for a while. keep up the good work!
I second the recommendation to go with softlayer should you need a 3rd try – you won't regret it 🙂
Aha,Linux too.
I got a CentOS 5 running for about 6 monthes.
It's stable.

Absolutely fantabulous enormous brooch depicting what I believe to be a Phoenix Rising, a mythical bird that being reborn and rising out of the ashes. With its long tail, it seems to resemble a bird of paradise as well.
Each rhinestone is prong set, very colorful and vibrant. My photos don't capture the gleam and sparkle as much as I would have like then to. Composed of stones in colors of soft blue, orange, red, clear, opaque turquoise and brownish golden colored rhinestones. (I don't know how else to describe this color).
Large marquis clear rhinestones accent the body and the tips of the wings and tail. Stones have been set into a metal backing that appears to be composed of copper and brass showing silver soldering. Clasp works perfectly. This is a heavy brooch weighing almost 15 grams.
Measures just over 4" High x 4-3/8" Wide.
A mythical bird that never dies, the phoenix flies far ahead to the front, always scanning the landscape and distant space. It represents our capacity for vision, for collecting sensory information about our environment and the events unfolding with it. The phoenix, with its great beauty creates intense excitement and deathless inspiration ." – The Feng Shui Handbook, Feng Shui Master Lam Kam Chuen

Fassbender Takes Assassin's Creed
One of the hottest actors around, Michael Fassbender keeps landing more and more high-profile gigs. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star of Prometheus and X-Men: First Class will not only headline but produce the adaptation of Ubisoft's bestselling Assassin's Creed.
The video game series premiered in 2007 and has continued to wow players with its mix of historical action and beautiful visuals. Fassbender will play Desmond Miles, a modern-day bartender who discovers he's descended from a long line of assassins at odds with the Knights Templar.
Fassbender's the first big name signed up for the Sony project. As of now, there's no script or director, but Fassbender's involvement will surely help move things along.

Bootstrap Tutorial
The Bootstrap
Unfortunately, in most cases we do not know the underlying distribution from which the sample is drawn. At best we may suspect that the true distribution is in some family of distributions, but we generally do not know the parameters of the distribution. If we did, we could just apply the theoretical formulas and be done with it.
So suppose that we have just one sample. Is there any way to use that one sample to compute an estimate of the sampling distribution of a statistic? This is where the bootstrap comes in.
The idea is to repeatedly sample (with replacement) from the single sample you have, and use these "samples" to compute the sampling distribution of the statistic in which you are interested. In the previous Monte Carlo exercise, we drew a "fresh" sample each time; in the bootstrap case, we resample from the single sample that we have. Other than that difference, the procedures are essentially the same. If our original sample is reasonably representative of the population, then resampling from that sample should look pretty much like drawing a new sample.
The remarkable thing about the bootstrap is that even though we only have a single sample, it can often be used to give a quite good estimate of what would happen if we really were able to draw new, fresh samples.
Here is a function that will resample (with replacement) from a list.
To make sure it works, we will try it on a test list.
Here is a fixed random sample of 25 numbers.
Now we will resample from this fixed sample 5000 times and look at this distribution of estimated means.

What they are doing is - whenever someone new joins them, they show their advertisers a new target to publish their ads. Remember these sites, like - mGinger.com, Sms2india etc, themselves are the ad-mediums only, not the actual advertisers. Whenever the advertisers use them to publish their ads for their targets, like you, they are paying these sites. In turn the site will pay you a commission of their earning, for helping them get more advertisers.
Let's face it - everybody has a cell phone. Consumers need information and they need it now. Taking advantage of the world-at-your-fingertips way of life means a lot more than just running ads on "Angry Birds" – it requires a deep understanding of your target audience and assessment of their needs for mobile content. That's where these SMS marketing services come in.
The ads themselves are very handy at times. Sometimes the advertisers come up with some discount coupons, some free SMS offers, or so and so.
On the other hand, you can start building up a network so that, when someone under you gets paid for reading ads, you get paid a commission for that too.
Mind you, this is surely not a get rich quick scheme. Because a few of the programs pay something like 0.005 USD per SMS. But the sky is the limit to earning more as it depends on how successful you are in building your own network.
Whatever they are paying, thing is, you are getting it for free.
If you can get 5-10 web sites like these in your bag, then the total earning won't be that bad. :)

You may recall seeing a report a couple of weeks ago regarding how the National Football League declined a request by the Dallas Cowboys to wear a special decal on their helmets honoring the police officers slain in the tragic Black Lives Matter movement-inspired shooting in Dallas this summer.
But while the NFL can prevent the professional team in Dallas from paying homage to the men and women in blue who serve and protect the city, they have no such control over the college teams that play in the metropolis.
According to The Daily Caller, special decals will appear on the helmets of the Dallas-based Southern Methodist University football team in their nationally televised game Friday night against Texas Christian University from neighboring Fort Worth.
Advertisement - story continues below
"This will be a big game for us as we honor our local first responders and pay tribute to them. It's an opportunity for us and our great city of Dallas to come together and lock arms and pay tribute to the lives that left us way too soon," declared coach Chad Morris in a statement to the press.
It was also reported that now-former Dallas police chief David Brown will preside over the pregame coin toss.
TRENDING: Ellison Is Done: 911 Report Confirms Assault Details and We've Got the Report
While many football fans have been somewhat dismayed by the protests and the anti-police attitude of some players throughout the NFL this year, they can take solace in the fact that college football still remains at least partially uncorrupted by today's over-politicization of everything — at least for now.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word that the SMU Mustangs will honor the Dallas police in their Friday night game against the TCU Horned Frogs.

CM Storm Deploys Scout Gaming Chassis
Posted: 10:15AM
Author: jammin
CM Storm, Cooler Master's collaboration with professional gamers, which was behind the recently reviewed Sniper chassis has now introduced its next gaming case, the Scout. Billed as "The True Gaming Chassis" the Scout is built around a solid steel body, with 140mm intake, 140mm top and 120mm rear exhaust fans. Two further 120mm fans can also be mounted to deal with thermal hotspots. The Scout also provides 5 x 3.5" and 4 x 5.25" drive bays, with support for 1.8" and 2.5" SSDs should you need it, as well as I/O panel connectivity for eSATA, Firewire, HD Audio and 4 x USB. The panel also gives you an LED switch to control case lighting. An interesting addition is the StormGuard PCI-bracket, which allows you secure your peripherals, meaning that (as long as you have locked your side panel) nobody can run off with your mouse and keyboard while you're using the bathroom at a LAN party. If you do want to move your whole case, the integrated carry handles should make things easier. Pricing and availability of the Scout chassis wasn't mentioned.

A saintly Scotsman arriving at the Pearly Gates is asked by St Peter if he's led a good life. 'Och aye,' he says, 'I was a good husband, a good father and — as you know — I neither smoked nor drank.'
St Peter: 'Aye, so ye say, but what about thon nip of brandy on yer deathbed?'
The Scotsman, embarrassed: 'Och aye, but I didna ken that would keep me oot of Heaven.'
There's a great crack of thunder, a blinding light and a mighty voice roars: 'WELL, YE KEN NOO!'
There's a lot of it about, isn't there?
Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg didna ken the party's former Director of Campaigns and Elections, life peer Lord Rennard, 52, had been accused of groping a string of women colleagues. Rennard denies the allegations.
Clegg didna ken the party's former Director of Campaigns and Elections, life peer Lord Rennard, 52, had been accused of groping a string of women colleagues. Rennard denies the allegations
Former BBC Director-General Mark Thompson didna ken there were stories about Jimmy Savile ravishing young women on the broadcaster's premises, although they were general currency during his eight years at the Corporation.
Didn't know — or, didn't want to know? That is the question for both men.
At least ten Lib Dem women made accusations against Rennard, as we reported on Friday. One was offered a meeting with the peer to discuss the impact of his behaviour. After refusing — are you surprised? — she says she was told she had no future in the party.
Party activist Stephen Tall says: 'Just as the BBC turned a blind eye to the alleged offences of one of its stars, so, too, did the Lib Dems.'
It's a good connection to make. The BBC's absurd Pollard report on the Savile affair — replete with preposterous 'redactions' of any words that might prove remotely embarrassing for Corporation bigwigs — reveals an organisation where all the men and women at the top did everything they could to maintain (or feign) ignorance of what had happened.
Having spent 36 years at the BBC, Jeremy Paxman knows where all its bodies are buried. He told Nick Pollard's inquiry it was common gossip that the disc jockey liked the company of young girls — a tactful way of putting it.
Former BBC Director-General Mark Thompson didna ken there were stories about Jimmy Savile ravishing young women on the premises, although they were general currency during his time at the Corporation
Pollard concludes that it was not a question of executives not knowing about Savile's activities. It was that senior executives didn't want to know. This has always been obvious, long before the story broke.
After all, Savile conducted some of his nefarious behaviour on BBC premises. He entertained young women in a caravan berthed in the BBC car park. How could his activities have remained unknown?
Lots of people did know, of course, as Paxman says in his evidence to Pollard. So why was nothing done about it? Possibly because to confront the problem would be to take responsibility for it. Heads might roll. And not just deputy heads.
The other problem about Savile concerned class. He was working class and from the North. He appealed to a demographic that was well below the sights of the predominantly middle-class BBC management.
They knew he was a weirdo, but he was a weirdo in touch with the Prince of Wales and one who spent Christmases with Margaret Thatcher. He didn't hide his activities. He flaunted them.
The allegations against Rennard (pictured) are made by mature women. Clegg's initial defence - that he had no knowledge of the specific allegations - is a temporary device
The allegations against Rennard aren't as serious. They are made by mature women. Clegg's initial defence — that he had no knowledge of the specific allegations — is a temporary device. Having launched an inquiry, he now hopes that what he knew, or didn't know, will cease to be the question.
He'll be in the clear if the inquiry finds Rennard has a case to answer and also if it finds otherwise.
So will the men who didn't know, Clegg and Thompson, survive?
Thompson, like Clegg, has modified his defence from not knowing to not knowing specific details.
And he is no longer at the BBC. He's the big bucks chief executive of the New York Times.
Clegg might be in less trouble if the Rennard allegations were his only problem. But he's now regarded by some in his party as a drag on the ticket, the main reason why they face being wiped out at the 2015 General Election.
Thompson's clear of the BBC, but not out of the woods. If there are further claims that he knew more than he's admitted about Savile — and did nothing — it will undermine his position at the New York Times. Local rivals of the Grey Lady, as the paper is known, will make sure of that.
Surely 'I didn't know enough' isn't an improvement on 'I didn't know'. It's a prompt to find out more, not a get-out-of-jail card.
Laura performed faultlessly at the Six Nations rugby match between England and France at Twickenham
Soprano Laura Wright, 22, sang the national anthem for the 82,000 crowd at the Six Nations rugby match between England and France at Twickenham.
While overcoated, heavy-booted and woolly-hatted spectators in the stands whimpered about the cold — myself among them — Laura performed faultlessly in a white dress slashed to the waist.
A rugby player for Rosslyn Park Ladies, she is said to have 'speed and good technical awareness'.
And legs that would distract the Dalai Lama.
Forget Oscars, television is the new cinema
The Washington DC blogger Andrew Sullivan says he's tired of the Oscars — 'the naked public relations, the excruciating host, the preening luvvies… It's the celebration of a mass movie experience in the cinema that truly deserves to die for anyone over 25'.
Instead, he and his partner watched Argo, an Academy Award nominee, 'on a couch five feet away from a 56in, high definition, 3D flat screen television.'
They had speakers all around the room. Drank Coke at a tenth of the cinema price. And could pause the film at will. They didn't miss the coughing, the sneezing and hard-to-place odours that are part of the cinema experience.
Young folk I know, who can't afford huge tellies and banks of speakers, watched Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained before they'd even opened in Britain by 'streaming' them on to their computers from illegal internet sites. The best movies are always available because copies are sent out prior to the Academy Awards.
The cinema experience has been changed, too, by blockbuster television serials. When was the last time you had a conversation about a movie? Ever since 24 and The Sopranos — not to mention Breaking Bad, the best of them, I'd say — TV box sets have become big talking points.
It would be a shame if the cinema died, and I'm sure it won't. For the young, it'll always be a refuge from childish TV-watching parents. And for watching rubbish movies that aren't available for streaming or downloads.
Who doped TV presenter Ben Fogle, turning him into 'a ranting, raving lunatic'? He says it happened after dining at a pub in the Cotswolds where they had 'delicious food and a little wine. Nothing untoward or strange'.
He's telling us about it because, 'where a singer might include their heartache and pain in a song, I need to put it into words'.
As a weekend sojourner in the Cotswolds, it would be handy to know the name of the 'small country restaurant where we had a lovely evening' though.
Fogle, pictured with son Ludo, now three, says he was doped after dining at a pub in the Cotswolds
A credit to the party?
Having failed to preside over an economic recovery and lost the nation's so-called triple AAA credit rating, mutinous voices in the Tory Party are calling for David Cameron to dump George Osborne.
Cameron loyalists say he'll never do it. He and George are too close.
Leaders should never be dependent on subordinates, even if they are friends. There are no friends at his level in politics. Only colleagues who are useful to you.
Osborne must be asking himself if he's harming the party's chances of victory in 2015. If the answer is Yes, he's honour-bound to resign. And not leave it to the last minute.
Your Bali Highness
Prince Harry's recent skiing companion, Cressida Bonas, isn't in a rush to marry, a so-called friend informs the Sunday People. 'Her mum divorced four times, so she's not about to rush into anything.'
However, if she was going to get hitched, 'she would like to do it barefoot on the beach at Bali with just her closest family and friends'.
Including the Duke of Edinburgh, I hope. Wouldn't you pay to see his Victor Meldrew visage on this happy occasion?
Former drug dealer Olufisayo Ogundimu, 28, was successful in persuading a court that he should not be deported to his native Nigeria because he had fathered a child here and has another on the way by a second woman.
The rule of law is more important than politics. Is this the exception?

High-School Unions and X-Rated Protest Signs
Why do the French strike so much?
PARIS—The French capital is like a showroom for protest signs these days, as millions strike against President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 and the full state pension age from 65 to 67. "Carla, we're like you, we're being fucked by the chief of state!" is one of my favorites. Other signs read "67? Why not 69? If we have to get fucked …" or "Take a good look at your Rolex, it's time to revolt." (The latter refers to Sarkozy's friend Jacques Séguéla's claim that "if you don't have a Rolex by the time you reach 50, you have clearly failed in life.") Others choose simplicity: "Fuck off, dumbass" (a bon mot the president shared with an angry farmer in 2008) or "Sarko, for you, retirement is in 2012" (the date of the next presidential election).
Tuesday saw the sixth national strike since May, and we've had many smaller protests in between. The anger shows no sign of abating. Three and a half million French citizens took to the streets on Tuesday, according to the CGT union; the police put the number at 1.1 million. The police and the unions never agree about crowd sizes—as the protest signs have noted. "Sixth protest, second according to the police" read one sign this week; another says, "Nicolas Sarkozy is 1 meter 20 centimeters tall according to unions, 1 m. 80 according to the police."
Striking workers have blockaded fuel reservoirs, leaving as many as one-third of the nation's gas stations dry, and the government has sent in the police to force three fuel depots to open, though several others are still blocked. Strikes are disrupting subways, buses, trains, and the boats that carry fuel into the port of Marseille. Now high-schoolers have joined the protests and are barring entry to schools around the country. (Nearly 400 high schools have been affected, according to officials; more than 1,000, according to high-school-union representatives. And, yes, in France, high-school students have unions.) As the high-schoolers prepare for a 10-day vacation, college students have stepped in to take their turn, blockading their universities. A dozen so far—but French college students go back to school at different dates throughout October and sometimes as late as November, compared with September for high-schoolers.
The youth protests are usually less well-organized than workers' demonstrations, where the union marshals have more experience. Casseurs—which literally translates as breakers but is often rendered as rioters in the Anglo-Saxon media—have broken shop windows and fought with the police, resulting in the arrest of 1,423 people over the course of the last week, according to the government.
It seems that we French have a reputation for always being on strike. In fact, comparative statistics on days lost to strikes among European countries between 1900 and 1970 show France around the average, says French historian Stéphane Sirot. Those statistics put Northern European countries at the top of the strike rankings, because that's where unions have most power. When Northern European unions call a national strike, millions of people drop their tools.
France does have a culture of strikes, but they tend to be short, local affairs that affect one company rather than vast national movements, even though those are the ones you hear most about. It's a matter of history: French citizens won the right to strike 20 years before they got the right to unionize, creating a culture of workplace power struggles.
At the end of World War II, Sirot says the nations of northwest Europe learned to negotiate first, then resort to conflict if the talks were unsuccessful. But in France, the pattern was power struggle first, then—once everyone had shown their strength—negotiations could begin.
The best example of this process is May '68, the biggest social uprising in recent French history. It was resolved by the Grenelle Agreements, in which all the unions—even the most extreme—participated. This helped the country return to normal, albeit slowly.
The problem is, that negotiating system is now broken. It can only work if every player follows the same rules. Since 2003, when there was another wave of protests against an earlier attempt at pension reform (this time affecting only civil servants), the state's strategy has been to wait out the protests instead of trying to negotiate. This has weakened the unions. In the old days, both sides got something out of a strike; now it's a matter of one side winning and the other taking a fall. Since there's no other system in place, this change has disrupted the social contract.
The current round of strikes is about pension reform, but there's much more at stake. People are protesting the high unemployment rate, the economic crisis, and the general feeling that the current government is destroying the social contract. This time, the government can't say privileged civil servants are the only ones complaining.
So today the French are striking, and they have it down to a fine art: It's all about inconvenience. Since the public sector is still very important in this country, the industries affected are very visible. In the summer of 2008, Sarkozy said "Now when there's a strike in France, nobody notices it," but you can be sure that everyone—all around the world—has noticed what's happening here.
In the past, unions preferred so-called "days of action," when strikes would take place at a very specific time. After two or three separate days of action had demonstrated the unions' strength, negotiations would begin. Today, unions still start that way, but they quickly evolve into "renewable strikes," where the protest schedule is much more unpredictable.
The French Senate should vote on the bill by Friday—or maybe next week. The unions, which met on Thursday afternoon, have already called for two more days of action: Oct. 28,a Thursday, and Nov. 6, a Saturday. That gives people a lot more time to think up dirty jokes about the first lady.

Pioneer has brought CarPlay to three of its in-car infotainment systems thanks to a firmware update in October, making Apple's new auto interface available to all owners of the AVIC-F60DAB, AVIC-F960DAB and AVH-X8650BT headunits.
While Ferrari rolled-out CarPlay in September to an unknown buyer, the three Pioneer systems are the first systems with the technology to be available to all car owners in Australia.
Officially announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March, CarPlay allows drivers to interactive with their headunits, via Siri's voice-recognition solution, to make and answer phone calls, seek directions to points of interests and locations, send and receive messages and control their music.
With all interactions utilising Siri, the technology aims to minimise distractions for drivers by keeping their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.
Pioneer has released the firmware update as an additional extra for users of the current 2-din systems, available for free via the company's support website. Users will need to load the update to a USB device and connect it to their compatible Pioneer receiver via its USB cable input.
CarPlay is expected to launch in a number of cars in 2015, ranging in price points from manufacturers such as Ford and Jaguar, which will install the system in variety of styles.
Drivers, with one of the Pioneer solutions installed, can interact with their headunit with Siri or the touch display. Ferrari's system works in the same way, but some car manufacturers, such as Mercedes-Benz, have avoided using a touch display, preferring the use of physical knobs and buttons.
The current apps available for CarPlay are Phone, Music, Maps, Messages, Podcasts, Spotify and Stitcher, but more are likely to appear in the coming months. CarPlay is also restricted to iPhone 5 models or later.
The three Pioneer systems with CarPlay currently available are the AVIC-F60DAB ($1999), the AVIC-F960DAB ($1699) and the AVH-X8650BT ($1149).
Alongside CarPlay, the 7in touchscreen-equipped AVIC-F60DAB and the 6.1in touchscreen-equipped AVIC-F960DAB offer a DAB digital radio, GPS navigation, Bluetooth for hands-free calls, AppRadio Mode and dual reverse camera inputs.
The AVH-X8650BT offers a 7in touchscreen, Bluetooth, DVD receiver, AppRadio Mode and MirrorLink.
Hands on
We were lucky enough to get a chance to play with the new CarPlay technology on a Pioneer AVIC-F60DAB unit this week and it is an impressive setup.
Rather than battling with the Settings on your iPhone to connect to Bluetooth or even swiping up to turn Bluetooth on in the Control Center, connecting to the Pioneer systems requires you to simply plug the iPhone into a supplied Lightning cable.
Once the cable is connected, the iPhone's screen will display the CarPlay logo and the Pioneer unit will automatically switch to the CarPlay mode. Users are not stuck in CarPlay mode when an iPhone is docked, but with the ability to control the Phone, Music, Maps, Messages, Podcasts and Spotify apps via your voice make it perfect for iPhone users.
The home button appears in either the bottom left or right hand-side of the display depending on your preference and acts just like the home button on your device. One press and you head back the menu screen with the available apps laid out in front of you, while a press and hold will bring up Siri. The central button on the Pioneer AVIC-F60DAB unit also works as a home button.
Siri is the key to this system; drivers can ask to send a message, make a phone call, seek directions to the local coffee shop, play a certain track, ask what their calendar looks like for the coming day or even check the weather for the week.
The apps appear as they would on your iPhone or iPad. The Music app offers all of your audio choices in the same format and layout, making navigation instantly obvious. The information displayed is large and sparse, perfect for driving.
The Maps app allows users to ask for directions, choose routes and find local points of interests. All of the necessary data is available on the display and the Maps app will run in the background, should you wish to use your iPhone for another task.
Messages can be sent as you would with Siri on an iPhone, but the neat trick is the way you receive the messages. Siri will dictate them to you on request, enabling you to keep your eyes on the road ahead and away from your phone or dashboard. From our testing, Siri performed her messaging tasks quickly and efficiently.
Phone calls can also be made and answered with the help of Siri, but your contacts, recents and favourites are also available on the display and selectable via touch.
In terms of performance, the system occasionally took a few seconds to respond, but this was nothing we haven't experienced with Siri in the past. When you're driving, this will hardly be noticed.
CarPlay is exciting. It is the next step in in-car entertainment systems and Pioneer has brought it to Australia in a great, useable package. Plus, it charges your iPhone.
To watch how the system functions, check out the video from Pioneer below.

Difference Between Philosophy and Religion
Philosophy vs Religion
Many have come to think that philosophy and religion are the same while some argue that the two are opposite sides of the same coin. However, these two concepts are just in part true.
Philosophy and religion are related. By general understanding, religion is composed of a set of morals, rules, principles, and ethics that serve to guide one's way of living. Philosophy, on the other hand, is a bigger domain of discipline that tackles many concepts like: metaphysics, the search for the ultimate truth, knowledge, and life itself.
Although the two are the same in having to deal with man's life, they are still very different in various aspects like the presence of observed rituals across all world religions and the absence of such in philosophy because the latter only deals more with how people should think. So an individual cannot be entirely religious without performing some rituals stipulated by his or her religion while this same person can still be philosophical even without engaging in some religious rituals.
Another distinction between the two is the strength of belief. Religion puts an emphasis on one's belief as the core of his religiosity. This connects to the concept of faith – the strong belief in something even if there's no empirical evidence of such a thing or phenomenon existing. Philosophy, by contrast, will only believe if a certain subject under argument is proven to be true by using tested means of reasoning. If there's no clearly identifiable and explainable reason for such, then it is not immediately accepted as the truth.
Religion, although considered as a subset of philosophy, involves many supernatural beliefs and superstitions some of which are already too hard to believe that philosophers constantly argue against them. Nevertheless, some philosophers (especially those from the East) happen to be strong believers in faith as well. Thus, they believe in the meanings hidden in religion and its practices that help man understand himself and the truth of life much better than someone who has no religion or who has no belief in such.
1.Philosophy is a big discipline that encompasses many subject matters as opposed to religion that is just considered as one of the subsets of philosophy.
2.Philosophy does not include the practice of rituals unlike religion.
3.Compared to philosophy, religion has stronger beliefs and highlights the power of faith.
4.Religion has more beliefs in the superstitious and the supernatural.

THE author of this peice is obviously one of htose peope who considerd himself to not be religious. He refers ot Relgiion as invovled with SUperstitious and SUpernatural beleifs. Of coruse, SUperstition is defined as an unjustifiable beleif that lacks any evidence in external causation. That isn't really part of most Religions. Nor is beleif int he SUernatural requirted.
Then again, the Author also uses the old cobbler that Faith is beleiving in somethign one has no evidence for. This isn't what Faith is, Faith is simply Trust or COnfidence, not beleif withotu Evidence.
Religion and Philosophy are in Reality the same thing. Both are simply the beleif systems one hodls to, the way in which one understands the World.
EVen the idea of Ritualism isnt correct. SOme Philosophies o advocte RItuals, and not all Religiosn cotain them.
I'd also say everyone is Relgiious, some just prefer ot say theyhave a Philosophy instead of a Religion, due to negative associatons they have with the mer word Religion.
Oh, forgot to hit notify.
There is one concrete difference that is a certain indicator of whether you have encountered a religion or a philosophy. One is tax-exempt, the other is not.
Hence the vehement disagreements over whether they are really one and the same with simply different viewpoints.
Religion is philosophy while philosophy is not religion. In order words, religion is transcendental philosophy while philosophy is limited to what is abstracted from the transcendental nature of religion. Philosophy could be a form of religion or a tool for practicing a form of religion.
Another way to explain the relation between religion and philosophy is that religion encompasses all about what is generally known as philosophy and more than this, while philosophy is the tool of any human mind that is philosophical for carrying out the process of knowing as much as it can, or is possible—the human mind being limited as a means of knowing.
The distinction that is mostly or commonly made between religion and philosophy is that religion is based on faith while philosophy is based on human reason. But religion is not, strictly intended, based on faith, being also based on reason—as the application of reason to understanding the Trinity by St. Augustine and the argument between St. Thomas and St. Anselm show—while some positions in philosophy are based on faith or belief and not reason.
As an illustration of this: when a philosopher posits that there is no God, he really means that he beliefs that there is no God, or that he does not believe that there is God because he is not able to establish experimentally or by any other means that there is no God.
Generally, philosophers demand that the people of the religions should prove that there is God but the real necessity is the prove that there is no God by them. Therefore, for demanding that the people of the religions prove that there is God they are guilty of shifting duty or dodging the issue.
Take note that some philosophers have established that there is God by reasoning from what is a posteriori (visible) or known to what is a priori (invisible) or not known. The philosophers that are anti-religion reject the fact established by them or the proof provided by them but, as was noted earlier, fail to establish that there is no God.
Also, philosophy is multidisciplinary while Religion is specifically based on faithial beliefs.
No, Religion is not specifically baed on "Faithial" beleifs. There is no such word as Faithial. If you mean its Faith based, well, so is Science. The modern bashign of Faith is silly. Faith just means Trust, it does not mean beleif without evidence.
A key difference between philosophy and religion is only religion can address "before birth" and "after death" questions. Philosophy and religion can both address the middle part. You might hear a philosopher express an opinion but since you cannot prove the argument, it is a "belief".

God and the afterlife aside. 4000 calories of fast food is a health problem. If you had an NDE and heard that voice telling you it's not your time yet, if I were you, I would change my diet. Not the calorie aspect, eat as much as your medically advised to. But think about it, it's not just a lot of calories it's a lot of bad calories you're consuming. Have professionals not advised you against getting them from fast food?
As for you experience can you describe the 'light' more?
I remember being aware of its presence - behind me - but it was pushing me away.
I recall total coldness and total darkness. Both right to my core.

I don't know what I am now, I know that I now have a personal relationship with God, and I know he loves me even though I am far from perfect and have done so much wrong and basically have denied his existence for 17 years of my life.

Own Brew Pub of the Year
Watermill, Ings (Cumbria).
What the guide said: 'Hard-working, hands-on landlord Brian Coulthwaite's eight Watermill own brews are so popular that the brewery is having to expand; they also keep up to 11 guests from other breweries, too, as well as lots of bottled beers, farm cider and 40 malt whiskies.'

Otter Brewery, Devon
What the guide said: 'This brewery, run by the McCaig family for 23 years, uses water from its own springs and produces five beers plus a winter seasonal one. From small beginnings, it's now one of the West Country's most successful breweries - and a big plus is that they manage to keep the price of a pint below many other real ale choices in a high proportion of our Main Entry pubs.'
Wine Pub of the Year
Woods, Dulverton (Somerset)

Unspoilt Pub of the Year
Crown, Churchill (Somerset)

Town Pub of the Year
Wykeham Arms, Winchester (Hampshire)
What the guide said: 'Civilised and warmly welcoming to visitors as well as their loyal regulars, this inn has bustling rooms filled with interesting collections, good food and drinks, and comfortable bedrooms; the cathedral is just a stroll away.'
Country Pub of the Year
Royal Oak, Fritham (Hampshire)
What the guide said: 'Part of a working New Forest farm with pigs and ponies out on the green. ROaring log fires, friendly locals, antique furniture on oak flooring, a fine choice of real ales and simple lunchtime food ensure plenty of happy customers at all times.'
Inn of the Year
Griffin, Felinfach (Wales)

Value Pub of the Year
Anchor, Oldbury-on-Severn (Gloucestershire)
What the guide said: 'Enjoyable and friendly with plenty to look at in the bustling bars, the Anchor serves a good number of interesting main dishes for under £10 - plus a very fairly priced two or three-course set menu (not Sunday).'
Dining Pub of the Year
Beckford Arms, Fonthill Gifford (Wiltshire)
What the guide said: 'An elegant old coaching inn on the edge of lovely rolling parkland that serves unfailingly excellent and imaginative food using first class ingredients - as well as a fine range of drinks including winter mullled wine and cider and cocktails using homegrown ingredients.'
Newcomer of the Year
Chase, Upper Colwall (herefordshire)
What the guide said: 'Perched on the Malvern Hills with a lovely view to the west and good surrounding walks, the Chase is chatty and companionable with an interesting variety of furnishings and decor, tasty food and half a dozen beers, and helpful staff.'
Licensees of the Year
Merry Harriers, Clayhidon (Devon)
What the guide said: 'Peter and Angela Gatling are the aristocrats of the pub world and show real commitment to both their customers and their pub. You can be sure of a genuine welcome no matter how busy they are - and sure, too, of a good meal (using some homegrown produce and their own eggs) and a fine pint of ale.'
Pub of the Year
Cock, Hemingford Grey (Cambridgeshire)
What the guide said: 'Combining a traditional bar and a top class restaurant, the Cock offers the best for all its customers. There are interesting beers (and an August beer festival), lots of wines by the glass, delicious food, fresh flowers and candles and helpful, courteous service. An outright winner.'
Outside Loo of the Year
Tram, Eardisley (Herefordshire)

AFTON Monday evening what started as a chimney fire swept through a remote Afton home, causing significant damage and making the structure a total loss.
It was a battle of the elements, said Chenango County Fire Coordinator Matthew L. Beckwith.
Beckwith said the 50 firefighters from Afton, Coventry, Greene, Bainbridge, Harpursville, Sidney, Masonville and Hancock had to struggle to reach the residence of Ronnie Ford along Howe Lane in the Town of Afton. The house was located approximately 1,900 feet from the road.
Beckwith said crews had used heavy five inch diameter hose to reach the blaze down the narrow, private road. Crews also had to march to the site from the road in below freezing weather that caused complications, including a hose line break and one of the fire trucks freezing.

Breech babies, children with a family history of hip problems, and first-born girls (oddly enough) are more at risk of hip dysplasia than other kids.
Problems associated with plagiocephaly (also known as flat head syndrome) include developmental delay, physical appearance (for some children it can mean their ears or eyes are out of alignment), difficulty fitting into bike, snowboard or hockey helmets, and potential teasing due to looking different.
Janice Biehn, Editor of ParentsCanada magazine, discusses new baby gear on Global News Morning.
Often tongue tie may persist without immediately noticeable symptoms. However, as your child grows, it may affect speech, oral hygiene (due to not being able to use the tongue to clear debris from the teeth and gums), licking movements (like moistening the lips) or even playing an instrument.
You've got this! Don't overthink it, use your common sense, and get some sleep.

SLAM! Wrestling
EDITOR'S NOTE: Eric Benner is SLAM! Wrestling's regular Friday columnist.

WWF should treat titles right
There are typically between seven or eight matches on a good wrestling card. They can throw nine or ten in if they want to, but invariably one or two of those matches would be last-minute throwaways. Seven or eight are closer to historical averages. If we were to assume that half of the matches are tag team matches, which is very generous, then between twenty and twenty four wrestlers should be fighting on a given card. Aside from the fact that eleven titles is more than enough for one title to be defended in every match, thirteen title belts are enough to fit more than fifty percent of the wrestlers fighting on a card. That's astounding and ridiculous.
There was a time when three titles were more than sufficient. The heavyweight title, the secondary title, and the tag team titles were plenty for a very long time. The women's title and light heavyweight titles made sporadic appearances and then faded into nothingness. The spotlight was on those three titles, and to this day any WWF tag team that held the tag team titles in the 1980's is remembered fondly. I think Edge and Christian, who were only a tag team for a few short years, won more tag team titles than Demolition and the Legion of Doom combined.
In the days of fewer titles, those titles meant something. The men holding the titles were elevated. Matches fought for the titles were deemed important. Wrestlers had a reason to want the titles. Since they were rare, they were only held by the best. As a result, holding a title meant you were the best.
Other wrestlers, those without the benefit of titles, fought grudge matches. They got themselves into old style feuds and settled their scores in the ring. The funny thing about the current era is that despite the presence of four times as many titles as ten years ago, matches are still fought over feuds and grudges. In many matches now, the titles aren't even an issue. Wrestler X despises Wrestler Y, fights him, beats him, and wins the title but doesn't even want it. Then the WWF is confused about why fans don't then want to see Wrestler Z challenge Wrestler X for his title.
I understand that the WWF is hesitant to get rid of the WCW titles just yet. They may start a new separate WCW promotion, after all. To that, I say that they've already damaged the WCW name so much, I doubt they'd start a promotion under the WCW name. It'll probably be called Alliance Wrestling or something to that effect. Even if they did re-use the WCW name, they would have to re-brand it anyway. So they have nothing to lose from temporarily shelving the WCW titles. Hopefully, that's exactly where they're going with the Survivor Series angle. Close down the Alliance for awhile and keep the wrestlers, then start up a second promotion when you actually want one later.
The WWF is probably hesitant to retire its own titles because it has already put time and money into developing them. As poor as they are, the hardcore, European, and women's titles are marketing brands worth a certain amount thanks to their presence over the past few years.
Companies with products that aren't performing close down those product lines. The WWF should do the same with its non-performing titles.
The WWF could arguably keep a second world title, but then the WCW title would replace the function of the intercontinental title as the federation's second most prestigious title, to be fought over by those who can't quite reach the big gold. There's no excuse for a tertiary United States title, nor two sets of tag team titles.
If the WWF is going to put the WCW name to bed for awhile after Survivor Series, I suggest it drop their titles, as well as their own relatively unused ones. At this point, having thirteen belts isn't just eroding the value of the worst belts, but the best ones too. Drop the European, women's, and light heavyweight titles. Keep the heavyweight, intercontinental, tag team, and hardcore championships. If the WWF insists on keeping the WCW name alive, keep the same belts plus the WCW heavyweight title. Other than that, everything else is dead weight.
When things are working and the company is making money, it's arguably okay for the WWF to have its eccentricities. There's no excuse when the WWF is doing so poorly, though. This is a wrestling company and titles have an important place in the wrestling business. Treat them as such.
Have a good one.
Here's the mailbag.
Dave Ranallo, from email@example.com, writes:
Eric --
Just a quick question. I happen to be writing a sr. thesis on pro wrestling, and I can't seem to find when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall wrestled their last WWF matches -- breaking kayfabe by hugging Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the ring. I was wondering if you could help me out with this.
Love your column.
-- Dave Ranallo.
Everybody say it with me: Madison! Square! Gardens!
I get a surprising amount of e-mails from folks writing theses about professional wrestling. Dave and everyone else out there doing serious academic work about wrestling: I'd love to hear from you about exactly what you're working on, and maybe feature some of it in a future column. Good luck!
Baron von Imhoof, from email@example.com, writes:
If a writer wanted to apply for a job writing the stories for the WWF, how would they go about it? As many others have said, I feel this is the biggest weakness they have.
While there are many who would agree with you about their current writing, I don't think the WWF has put out any help wanted signs just yet.
Based on previous hirings, I would say that the WWF hires new writers from two sources. One, from within, from their pool of agents and wrestlers and other employees who express an interest in the booking of the show. Two, from Hollywood, which means writers with real previous experience.
Writing for the WWF is probably one of the most demanding such jobs out there. I'm sure it would be impossible to throw a newbie in there and hope for the best, if that's what you were thinking, as everyone does from time to time.
That's all for this week. Have a great weekend!

Over a ton, but I have hauled way heavier loads in the past.DRIVEN wrote:That's an amazing little truck. Any ideas what a load like that weighs?
When I put my new roof on 3/4 years ago and I did the tear off and took it to the dump, I rolled over the scales at 7200lbs, the truck weighs 3400lbs, so the load was around 3800lbs, and I still had good brakes, one time I had so much weight that I only had working brakes below 30mph and they really didn't work all that well even then.
I have been very lucky that I have not lost any rear bearings over the last 20 years, the C200 dually axle is only rated for 1700lbs, the H190 is rated to haul more(2000lbs), but the dually trucks I have tow vehicles and my trailer way better than a regular truck, I know this because I have towed 30/40 vehicles over the last 10 years and will never tow anything again behind a non-dually vehicle, it can get scary when the roads have deep ruts like the Mt. Hood freeway has(or had), very scary.

Justin Bieber to cougars: I see you!
Justin Bieber is finally a legal adult! Will he start dating every older woman now that it's legal? He'll certainly have plenty to choose from, that's for sure.
Guess what, ladies: Justin Bieber is officially 18! That means all of us creepers can legally profess our love for the pop superstar without fearing a visit from the police.
JBiebs' newfound adult status isn't lost on him. The man with the 18 million Twitter followers sent out a cheeky tweet on his birthday letting all of the "older ladies" know his new situation.
"Dear cougars. I see the jokes. im legal. Hahaha," he tweeted.
Of course the "Baby" singer likes older women — he's dating 20-year-old Selena Gomez, after all.
The pop superstar is still very much a child when it comes to grown-up things like drugs, alcohol and sex.
"I'm not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace," he said in V Magazine's spring issue. "I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody."
He's hoping his career will go the distance, just like Michael Jackson — minus all the plastic surgery and propofol, of course.
"I want to be successful and be great at what I do. But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do," Bieber said. "I want to be better than anybody who's ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life — it's not worth it if I'm not the best."
Happy Birthday, Justin!

From Arizona, USA:
My three year old child has breath that frequently smells like acetone, and someone once told me -- if a dog has breath that smells of acetone, it's a strong indicator that they have diabetes. I don't know if that's even true, but it has me worried. Do you know if it's true or if the same is true for people? We live in a very dry place so we all drink a lot, but I have not noticed any other of the symptoms on the list.
Thankfully, testing for diabetes is simple to do and can be done in a pediatrician's office. I would bring this concern to the attention of your son's pediatrician. I bet the acetone smell is more related to maybe not drinking enough water -- not necessarily diabetes.
