Well, it must be acquisition day in the mobile arena. Following news that Nuance had purchased Swype, now comes word that Blackberry-maker RIM is paying $100 million for NewBay Software, reports All Things D.
NewBay is headquarted in Ireland, but the 8-year-old company established its North American presence in Seattle last October.
The deal is not the first for RIM in Seattle, which purchased contact management service Gist last year.
NewBay's LifeCache software is used by companies such as T-Mobile, AT&T, U.S. Cellular, powering a cloud-based digital content offering used to photo albums, social networking services and calendars.
NewBay competes against Bellevue-based Motricity, which has fallen on tough times in recent months with disappointing financial results and a number of executive departures.

Baby Don't Go! A Gallery Of Men Who Begged Their Women Not To Leave…Did It Work?!
Men That Begged Their Women Not To Leave
Dirty dogs get caught. All the time. And when they get caught their women and dumped unceremoniously, their first course of action is to beg and beg and beg for the women to take them back. Sometimes it works…other times not so much.
Let's look at some men that worked hard to get their ladies to take them back. Let's see the results!
Chris Brown – He begged for Rihanna to take him back after he beat her up. And it seems to work now that she's hanging from his sack fighting for over it with Karrueche.
Drake – Rihanna just got tired of him…so he sang all kinds of songs about her and tried to get that thang back. Whether it worked or not, it sure pissed Chris Brown off.
Tiger Woods – He tried dearly to get his family back but he banged one too many Perkins waitresses for it to work.
Shaq – He tried his hardest to get Shaunie back…and it worked for a little bit. That was until they couldn't last a single second longer.
Diddy – He tried his damndest to get J.Lo back and it almost worked but she went off and got married a few more times.
Continue Slideshow
Marc Anthony – He tried desparately to keep J. Lo but his dirty dogging was just too much. At least they're still business partners.

Sandberg making case to return as manager in '14
By Todd Zolecki / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- Not too many people know what the future holds for Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg, but at the moment the smart bet is he will be in the dugout managing the Phillies in 2014.
He has been impressive through 12 games, although much can change.
Asked Wednesday at Citi Field if Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. provided him a timetable for a decision about his future, Sandberg said, "No, he didn't talk about that. Nope. He told me ... I'd be named interim manager and we were both on the same page. I might've had as much input or more to say than he did as far as these are meaningful games for evaluation of the players and all that. Fairly easy conversation, but it was left at that."
Halladay can feel Harvey's pain
NEW YORK -- The Mets pray that Matt Harvey's injury story finishes similar to Roy Halladay's with the Blue Jays and Phillies.
Harvey has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow which could require Tommy John surgery. But Harvey hopes to avoid surgery, like Halladay, who suffered a tear in his right elbow in 2006. Halladay never required surgery and resumed his All-Star career without a hitch.
Halladay spoke with Harvey on Tuesday at the request of Mets manager Terry Collins.
"From what I understand, I think 95 percent of the pitchers in baseball have some changes in their ligament," Halladay said before Wednesday's game against the Mets at Citi Field. "That's not anything out of the ordinary. But I got a chance to talk to Andy Pettitte. He went through the same thing."
Halladay said he developed a training program with the Blue Jays athletic training staff and said he resumed a normal Spring Training in 2007.
"I've never had a forearm issue since then," Halladay said. "I had some pretty good years after that. Most every pitcher is going to have changes in the UCL, so once they get the inflammation down and he gets that second opinion, if it turns out that it's not something that has to be repaired ... it sounded to me that it's very similar to what I had.
"Really, it was a strengthening program we started during the winter, doing a lot of wrist and forearm manual exercises and some different treatments, contrasting and things like that. So I just shared that with him and what I went through. [Dr. James] Andrews had told me that they felt like at some point they would have to go in and repair it, that was eight years ago and I've never had an issue since."
Ruf gets rare night off against Mets
NEW YORK -- Ryne Sandberg has used 13 lineups in 13 games, which hasn't been the plan. But when a team is trying to get a look at different personnel for the future, it just happens to work out that way.
Darin Ruf had started the first 12 of those games before getting the night off Wednesday against the Mets at Citi Field. It was Ruf's first game off since July 21, snapping a streak of 33 consecutive games started.
"He's done a heck of a job," Sandberg said. "He's played the schedule -- day games, night games. He's moved around to different positions and really played hard and maybe this is a day to quicken up his bat a little and then get him back after it. He's had a good string of games and it's a good thing [for a day off] because he's done well."
Ruf entered the night with nine homers this month, which are the most in the National League and third-most in baseball. He also has played first base, left field and right field.
"He's handled it great," Sandberg said. "I saw him a little bit at first base during the spring and I liked his moves over there so I wasn't surprised about first base. In left field, he struggled some in Spring Training and then gradually got better before he was sent down.
"I had heard he came a long way with left field and then he's here and he's in right field with no experience and he's been great. It's been a pleasant surprise and he's done well at all three positions along with a surprising arm throwing from the outfield. That surprised me a lot. I didn't know he had an arm like that."
Worth noting
• Left fielder Domonic Brown has not started since last Friday because of inflammation in his right Achilles. Sandberg said Brown is getting closer to a return to the starting lineup, but he remains day to day.

The Truth About Minato's Shiki Fuujin No Jutsu and the Kyuubi's Yin and Yang Chakra
We all know that although the seals that were made by the Shinigami variation that Sarutobi used, and the Shinigami variation that Minato used.. are still the SAME jutsu.. they involve the same process... but DIFFERENT ways on how it was performed by Minato and Sarutobi, respectively. In a sense, the jutsu is a Kami Fuujin Jutsu [God Sealing Jutsu] a level of Fuujin jutsu so powerful, that it requires a GOD to perform and a sacrifice. I am pretty sure its clearly stated, that Sarutobi just about uses the same jutsu. Take a look into the scenarios... I will start with Sarutobi's...
Sarutobi Faced off against an opposition he cannot defeat, and wanting to end the idea of having Nidaime and Shodaime ever hurt Konoha again along with Orochimaru. He uses the ultimate sealing jutsu that he knows. This jutsu, causes the user to go into the belly of the Death God and any other souls that are ingested in the process. The Nidaime and Shodaime souls were pulled out, and placed into Kage Bunshin. That being apart of his chakra now, they were both eaten in the process along with Orochimaru's arms. Sarutobi died, and had a new seal upon his body that was similar to Naruto's.
Faced off against an opponent, nobody could ever dream of defeating he figured of using the most powerful Fuuin jutsu he could harness. A jutsu that was developed in case this kind of scenario would happen. Instead of, the Shinigami reaching through a clone of Minato... it reached through Naruto. But, for this sealing it was a variation of the first seal. The combination of seals... the Double 4-Symbol Sealing Technique seals the Kyuubi into Naruto's system and prevents it to escape. The seal forms the 8-Trigram Hakke Sealing Style allows Naruto to tap into the Kyuubi Chakra making Naruto's body an ultimate chakra machine. However, there is a weakness with this seal as it can be weakened eventually. Its a possibility that the Kyuubi could break the seal over time, and manage to find his way back into the world.
The Final Sealing:
Minato used the SAME jutsu that the 3rd used against Oro, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. The 3rd himself CONFIRMS it.
The Kyuubi is to be killed ONE WAY, by sealing it in a newborn and that jinchuuriki (human sacrifice) dying. Now, when we say the SAME jutsu it doesnt necessarily mean that Minato and Sarutobi did the same STYLE of sealing. So the question is, HOW did the Kyuubi ended up being sealed INSIDE Naruto instead of being consumed by the Death God?
How did Minato do it? What exactly happened ?
Minato's Shiki Fuujin No Jutsu and the Kyuubi's Yin and Yang
Here's how Minato did it:
1. He summons the Death God invoking it's power
2. The arm of the Death God reaches through Naruto's body
3. Death God pulls the Kyuubi towards Naruto's body.
4. Minato divides the chakra into Yin and Yang, sealing the Yin chakra inside the Death God, and the Yang chakra inside Naruto. He uses the Double 4-Symbol sealing jutsu to seal the Kyuubi inside Naruto, forming the 8-trigram Hakke sealing style, allowing some of the Kyuubi's chakra to mix with the kid's chakra.
Minato splitted the Kyuubi chakra into Yin and Yang so that the Death God would have the 'shadow' (Yin), and Naruto would have the 'light' (Yang). He did this for two reasons: (1) to seal the Yin chakra of the Kyuubi inside the Death God's belly, leaving the Yang chakra to be sealed inside Naruto, AND (2) to leave his son and his village a powerful weapon. Minato's "that" jutsu follows the principles of Yin and Yang; since the jutsu cannot be done with both the Yin and Yang chakra of the Kyuubi sealed inside Naruto, he sealed half of it inside the Death God (Yin) and sealed the other half inside Naruto (Yang), to serve as a potential weapon.
5. Death God pulls his arm out of Naruto, leaving a spiral symbol on Naruto's stomach, which looks exactly the same as the spiral which appeared on the Third's stomach after performing the technique
6. Since the jutsu requires the soul of the user, the Death God consumes Minato's soul in the process. Minato's soul and the Kyuubi's yin chakra is sealed inside the belly of death, battling each other for eternity.
7. Kyuubi is sealed and Minato dies.
The Mystery of Minato's Death: What Really Happened
This is the mystery surrounding Minato's death. We all know how Sarutobi did it, but didn't saw Minato do it. Since Sarutobi says Minato used the SAME technique in sealing the Kyuubi, i have came up with this detailed explanation on how he performed the Shiki Fuujin no jutsu.
Simply said, Minato probably was FIGHTING MADARA and Naruto was being born when Kyuubi attacked. Konoha ninjas tried desperately to stand their ground, until Minato comes.
Namikaze Minato DEFEATED Uchiha Madara
Minato defeats Madara but Madara escaped. Minato heads out to Kyuubi, summons Gamabunta, and takes his chakra-filled ass for a ride. Now, knowing his son was soon to be born, and knowing he had no time and that he had to seal Kyuubi in a child that was just born or not born yet, he has Gamabunta or some one else take his child. He puts Kyuubi in his kid just after the cord was cut, and then places the Double 4-Symbol seal forming the 8-Trigram Hakke seal on him with the last of his life and chakra. He dies after sealing the Kyuubi, as did the woman who died through grief of her loss and the stress all at once. The baby has no name, but a swirl on his stomach. Naruto, if im not wrong, means spiral, or swirl. And theres also an ingredient in Ramen named that? Jiraiya's main character in his book is named Naruto, and before the child was born his parents agreed to name him after Jiraiya's main character in his novel. Maybe Minato liked Ramen a lot too, and in honor of Minato's will, and the things Minato loved, they named him Naruto.
Minato's Power and His Legacy
Now, people may get iffy about... how did Minato have that much chakra to spare... as Sarutobi didn't. Minato, we dunno how much chakra he had. However, at this point the only thing he knew with that battle is... he summoned Gamabunta. That does take an enormous amount of chakra, but that is a lot more chakra than Sarutobi had during his point he used his jutsu. I mean, Sarutobi had been battling and using up his chakra against Oro [Shuriken Kage Bunshin, Katon: Karyuu Endan (Fire Dragon Napalm), Doton: Doryuu-Heki (Mudslide Barrier), Ninpou: Kuchiyose No Jutsu] And after all that, he split his chakra into thirds. Him, and his two kage bunshin each having a third of his current chakra. And that was enough of a sacrifice, to get the souls of the Shodaime and Nidaime out with no problem.. but he did not have the power to subdue Orochimaru entirely... now, if one third of Sarutobi's chakra after all of that was enough to seal Two Kage Level individuals whom have a great deal of chakra.. and the arms of a Sannin... Think how much chakra would be needed to extract the Kyuubi? Minato himself could.. hold back the Kyuubi's power, thats a great wealth of power in itself.
The Shiki Fuujin Jutsu, the one that both Sarutobi and Minato used is a God Sealing Jutsu. Just like how there are individuals whom have specific jutsu relating to their summons. We have seen jutsus that are involve with the summons already, I dont see why it would be far fetched to have a jutsu that is pretty much already explained. Dealing with the Shinigami extracting a soul, and sealing the soul, at the cost of the users life. How do they knew it will work? Cause they can summon that creature, they have a pact with that creature. When you have a pact with that creature, you most likely have some form of communication with them at some point whether it be spiritually or physically. Like selling your soul to the devil to get the one thing you desire, this thing being.. the sealing of the Kyuubi to create a potential tool that will be Konoha's greatest asset.
I know my limits... That's why I'm breaking them!!!

"The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up."
"To be a teacher was to be a student anew, to relive the intoxication of insight, and to be a prophet, to sketch the world down to its very foundation — not simply to tease sight from blindness, but to demand that another see."
"[Ken] Kesey practices what has come to be known as gonzo journalism. The reporter, often intoxicated, fails to get the story but delivers instead a stylishly bizarre account that mocks conventional journalism."
"I kind of like things slightly out of tune. It makes me feel... intoxicated almost... but in a good way. Like I'm at a carnival in a dream. Not sure that makes sense, but I do have pretty good pitch recognition. I see colors for different key signatures, notes, etc."
"Those who have been once intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, never can willingly abandon it. They may be distressed in the midst of all their power; but they will never look to anything but power for their relief."
"The belief may be too often mistaken, but the illusion of coming into direct contact with the past is intoxicating and persuasive, and can result in an interpretation that carries conviction. Sometimes confidence is all that's needed."
"People are being arrested for being intoxicated in public to the extent that they might be a danger to themselves and others."
"There was something really uneasy about him. He was fumbling around. He looked intoxicated. He looked out of sorts."


text: Multi-core or multi-processor's take a different way of looking at the situation. The traditional decision tree of Yes/No and 1 line of code , the traditional if/then/else statement is just an example, you cannot effectively divide up an application that is written to perform in a linear fashion, that is one line after the next where the prior decision determines the next actions. As long as this type of programming is the norm multi-cores or multi-processors cannot do more than segregate different programs to the different areas. If we look at the majority of computer uses the user is used to their linear process, the advent of multiple cores will not help a word-processor, true it may help with the management of the overhead from the graphical user interfaces, or the bloated code, that 99% of people use only a tiny fraction of. HPC (clusters)or even multi-cores, which I just bought 3 more quad-cores for personal use, basically so I can have more programs open and a reasonable speed, not that any individual program is actually taking real advantage as this would require the program to have a predictive feature or prescient idea of what the average user will want. True algorithms have gotten better at predicting, then again the sheer volume such as Google's search algorithms have actually degraded with the shear volume of information. Until, the average user stops buying into the old idea of Bill Gates' of a computer on every desk, and "bloated C code programs and operating systems," and that was not for doing super-complex financial simulations, though with the current situation I can only think about 2 things 1) My old statistic teacher telling me tell me the results you want and we can find a statistical way to verify it and 2) Computers only do what you tell them (GIGO), so if you feed it a bad financial simulation or projection with a biased idea of what you are wanting as a results then well getting it a few seconds faster do to more GHZ or Ram, not a single analytical tool I know of for the average user, or for that matter the advanced user outside of maybe weather and Nuclear and Genome where specialty programs are written has access to anything that comes close to being able to divide up the work effectively, true multi-user and multi-taskers may benefit but without a real paradigm shift in basic uses be it spreadsheets, databases, word-processing, etc. then the use beyond being able to have 25 windows open at once and your word processor and spreadsheet does not really benefit from multi-cores and HPCs beyond having more than one program open and GHZ, a faster response, than a complex model that they have no idea of how to use and generally have no need of. True, companies can benefit by using their systems to design say chips, versus say a super-computer, Intel has long used HPCs to leverage their excess cycles. The basic paradigm shift needs to make multi-core and HPCs explode is for the average user, and the most unfortunately use that will be is most likely be in the multi-user game market, versus the average user. I personally would love to put my excess capacity to use but the tools, such as obtaining a Beowulf, or other HOC system, is not realistic. I maybe have 25 cores and various computers with terabytes of storage at my disposal at home but there is not cost effective way for me to obtain the systems or the programming languages to try and develop the next "killer application." You mention "Moore's law, yet VisiCalc launched the Apple II, Lotus 123 and WordPerfect the IBM, Windows and Apple basically just made the need for faster speeds to support the overhead and for the more "average" user to start using computers. Yet has there been any real change in the majority of database development, or financial tools for the average masses, do you really need a HPC for the typical word processor or desk-top publishing? True we all like it faster but the underlying statement is there has not been a fundamental change, beyond making it easier to use for the average person and also bloated code that most features are never used. There is a dedicated segment, Linus and Linux is a prime example, but 1% of a market base cannot steer a market. I do think we are on the cusp of change, and I also believe that many, mainly a select few, companies do not want too much power in the hands of the masses. Look at the idea of "online services for what is typically preformed on the desktop now." I am talking about using word processing, spreadsheets, etc. on as client server applications and paying for then on a per use basis. This is the exact idea of the old "big iron" with dumb terminals, as then charging the various departments for services. I hope that Open Source, including access to HPC software, will happen so that there can then be a new field for the average interested party to work on development of systems that can effectively utilize multiple-cores and HPCs. But when the average user cannot afford the complete Adobe suite, or is instead catered to by others telling them what they need, thus removing creativity and advancement, then while we are using 4th+ generation languages they are all still based on just easier to use versions of say the old Altair or Apple basic where line numbers were used to reference as most people have a hard enough time thinking even in a linear and step by step fashion, few can plan 20 chess moves in the future. So more-cores or faster GHZs are more just to feed the impatient masses, this does not lead to a breakthrough that a true use of multi/hype-threading and multi-cores and HPCs will shine. What we really need is a paradigm shift in the thinking of what a computer can do beyond the typical modern uses. I has been a while since I heard much on neural nets or fuzzy logic as these topics do little for the average user, in fact beyond the non-uses of these to correct misspelled words on the fly in a word processor, which is not either of these, but instead just using excess cycles to branch off and run a sub-routine to check these items, the average user things that because a computer can do this, or have 7 Google windows open, while their IM is running at the same time that their system is utilizing the real items at the base of the situation and question. So until the fact that computer's in the developed world are not seen as disposable items, big iron and legacy systems still exists, when the latest greatest faster system come along, they will always see it as it was originally named "[personal Computer', they think individually and do not deviate from this linear process. What we really need is a new killer operating system with killer applications that wakes up the general user. Where I can affordably link and have the systems needed to utilize my multiple systems, and also the bandwidth to have it process the massive growth of information, I cannot say it is data as the internet is too full of unverified factoids (not really facts), as well as the average user not have to depend on Google, which may now have 38 million hit on a query. Just as Moore's law brought the price of the amount of computing power available into the hands of the general public, it was applications that drove the use and growth. So until there is a real paradigm shift in what the general public sees the use of their "PC" (Macs included) for and there is no killer applications, reasonable priced methods to utilize our legacy as well as newer PCs, programming languages and operating systems that are affordable then the growth will be slow, and slower, etc. In business we call this the law of diminishing returns; it is also known as the maturity cycle of an industry or business. Currently until there is a fundamental shift then the computer industry, at least for 99.9% of users it is a mature industry and there will not be as rapid increases in improvement. Instead, just as Linux was made Open Source then to spark the interest of more of the mass of the developers seeking something new, when was the last real company out of a garage born? Then maybe HPCs should consider being open Source to foster development. I can think of several uses for HPCs but as an average user they are beyond my budget, so therefore I am locked out of even trying. So just as the PC was treated as a 'toy" see HP and the Apple II, or IBM did not take it serious till it was forced to, the fact is the growth will continue to slow. There is little need for faster cycles as already most people cannot use their computer's cycles and they sit wasted between keystrokes. So if anyone knows a way that the average person that wants to "hack: away at a idea of something new that would benefit the general use of HPCs and multi-cores, multi-nodes, HPCs, etc. beyond how may windows can I have open, and small sub-routines that really are not anything more than items like to automatically correct my typing, then we will stay in this stagnant growth era.

They pay that price because they can carry it, but as far as I can understand, they need more. I can do really a lot with that system, but I had to understand -not painlessly- that I am not an average user. Just last year 55000 new security threats were discovered, and thus, their antivirus systems should try to do something about them... don't forget about personal firewalls working at the speed of P2P applications, and all the FX required to run a desktop today. I don't think all the GHz we have are enough for a regular Vista user (9x% of the market of multicore personal systems?). Unfortunately we have not figured out how to use the capabilities of parallel processing for a Visual Studio programmer, thus, 99% (please, add more nines as required) of the applications cannot deal with multiple cores. As we know, a single threaded application today might run even slower than a few years ago. In some way, we "earned" a few years in learning how to go parallel thanks to multicore systems. We can allocate one core for the system, another for the antivirus, another for the application and we still have one more.... but not on most notebooks, and even less for uses whose OS put a limit on the number of cores they are licensed to handle.... What we did? we just "released" all the power of a core to a single-threaded program while using the other cores to "serve" the application in foreground. But we still don't know how to solve general programming things in a parallel system... well, sure we know for certain applications!, we spawn more threads as more connections arrive for a web server or for an IMAP server.... and that can really use a multi processor system. Most of the readers in this list really know how to solve applications in parallel, even beyond my imagination! All the science -in parallel- you do really squeezes our systems, but even though we use COTS systems (and I suffer when you buy equipment from server vendors instead of building from scratch as original Beowulf was about -and Google learned to do), we don't have COTS programmers. Think of the training and know-how required for a skilled parallel programmer. Parallel programming is still done by artists. A good parallel program is a rare piece of art. What about other programs? Well, we need a programmer that has taken, at least, "101 - parallel programming" or "101 - High Performance Computing" lectures, which covers only a tiny subset of the humans writing lines of code. And please remember all those (barely) humans who specify their problem in some sort of 4GL language, that is utterly translated into rules, interpreted and finally executed -singlethreaded- on a processor. Those guys fly high on GHz and always need more, more, and more GHz. Their only way to run faster is to get more GHz I think that, in the end, until we learn how to translate from single threaded programs written in standard programming languages (yes, Visual Basic, Java, C#, and so on) into fine-grained parallel code, we are constrained to pray for GHz to have our systems running faster. Most of IT is based on reuse (otherwise we might have moved from Fortran and DOS...) and we have to reuse single threaded things for the years to come. The users will not be amazed playing some variations of Space Invaders and Pacman on their mobiles for long. regards ariel Bruno Coutinho escribió: > I think that even if they stop scaling down size of desktop processors > due lack of interest in more performance, > someone will continue doing it (even at a much slower rate) for HPC > market. > No matter how much computing power future processors will have, > someone will invent a application that needs more. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Green Classroom Professional Certificate Program
There are many things that are important when it comes to educating students – the curriculum, student engagement and motivation and teacher effectiveness all play important roles in our nation's classrooms. However, what is oftentimes lost in these conversations is the significant effects that the physical learning space has on student health and performance. We understand the huge impact a classroom can have on our students. Therefore, we are launching a new program to teach educators about how to make their schools more sustainable and healthy places in which to learn, work and teach.
The Green Classroom Professional Certificate program emerged out of an increasing need to empower teachers and other professionals to make changes in how their classrooms operate. The program, primarily for parents, teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals and operations and maintenance professionals, will provide the tools to make classrooms healthier and sustainable while influencing a new generation of students.
The certificate program will encourage teachers to:
- Gain knowledge in green building practices, particularly for their classrooms and schools
- Use knowledge to make classroom/learning spaces healthier and sustainable learning environments
- Help foster an attitude among youth and future generations to appreciate and model green building and sustainable practices
- Support green building and sustainability practices through energy savings, water efficiency, CO₂ emissions reduction and improved indoor air quality
- Support health among school occupants and decrease student absenteeism due to environmental factors
Teachers from around the country have already reviewed and contributed feedback to improve the early versions of the program. Teachers have been impressed by the fact that the course addressed many learning styles and was applicable to teachers actively involved in many capacities related to the environment or sustainability.
The certificate program design enables teachers and others the flexibility to complete 12 virtual modules and an online assessment wherever they have a computer and an internet connection.
So why should a teacher sign up? Because the space in which education occurs is important to the health and well-being of our future leaders. This program gives teachers an opportunity to learn new ways to make classrooms healthier learning spaces for students and other classroom occupants.
The program is scheduled to launch in March 2012, so stay tuned for more information about how you can enroll! For more information, visit centerforgreenschools.org/greenclassroom.

Sure, there are awards handed out at the Grammys. But the real fun comes in seeing who takes the stage – and how they work it.
Beyoncé and Jay Z set the bar high with their hot "Drunk in Love" duet, and Katy Perry put on a creepy-chic performance of "Darkhorse."
John Legend slowed things down with his goosebump-inducing "All of Me" (which he wrote for Chrissy Teigen and performed at their September wedding).
Pink took to the air – again – with a high-flying performance, and when Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons took the stage, Taylor Swift had an all-out dance party from the audience.
And in one of the most highly anticipated collaborations, Pharrell Williams teamed up with Daft Punk and Stevie Wonder to the delight of the crowd – who danced like no one was watching.
And of course, there was Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Madonna and Mary Lambert's showstopping performance (which went from "Same Love" to "Open Your Heart") as 33 couples were married on the show.

About Moataz
My promise to you is that I will teach you everything I know in the time I'm given and provide you with all sorts of outside resources to get you on your way to fluency and proficiency.
I'll make sure to do my absolute best to get you speaking a new language from day one, learning a Design program immediately, or teaching you how to letter with the rules they don't teach you in school. And best of all, I'll even show you how to actually make money with all of these.
I have a very unique journey into learning where I experienced many places and got a fresh and different understanding to the many su
My Design work has been very general so I've done a lot of different things before I specialized in hand lettering, so I've done it all from advertisements on billboards to website design and development, to copywriting, to branding from start to finish for companies big and small.
My love for lettering and Calligraphy emerged when I started getting more Logos for client work and my exploration of type wasn't the best answer most of the time so I would letter everything myself, and the rest is history.
I am really passionate about learning and even more passionate about sharing what I've learned. I am efficient, I know what works for different people since I taught in classrooms and tutored way before I knew about Takelessons, and I'm most proud of being praised as a very genuine person. A very common compliment I get is that I sincerely want my students to do well. And it makes me really happy every time someone says it, and I hope that one day you see that and tell me the same thing.
Feel free to find out more about me and ask me anything you want, and I really look forward to one day teach you something that will get you to achieve your goals! :)
Just so there are no surprises, I raise my prices very slightly every 3 months, next time it will go up is on March 3rd 2017. The reason for this is because I get better and more efficient at teaching as time goes by, so that hour that you get now is much more packed with value than the same hour last year or last month.

Etana took a guy who didn't even know how to work with layers, and after a few hours of training together I was whipping out some very sharp looking graphics & images for our website. She assessed my needs and patiently walked me through the basics of what I'd foreseeably use on the projects I normally work on.
I now feel much more confident to tackle the Adobe beast. Etana is a skilled instructor. If I ever have a need for additional instruction or help with a design project I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. I highly recommend this very capable instructor! Thank you for helping me Etana. :-)

Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by aweil, Dec 5, 2012.
Those are nice too. Great job.
Vapor 9 Id's

Looks good. Is this your first pair? I don't have this shoe but I am tempted to get a pair using NikeID. I don't think I will though unless I just happen to find an extra $165 sitting around
Again... (just wrote to you in another thread)... they just look wonderful !!!!
Glad I could help. If I could do one thing over, I would get the vents solid black and not do the fade. I thought the fade looked cool online, but seeing them in person I would prefer the vents just all being the same color. Oh well, I guess I can always buy another pair one day, eh? Congrats again on getting what you wanted!
Too bad, you should have return the shoes immediately, get a refund, and order a new one with black vents !
Why don't you like the faded vents by the way ?
I went with black vents no fade, thought they looked better, simply design
I didn't dislike them enough to return them, I'm just saying if I were to do it again I would not do the fade. I just think it looks better all as one color, just my opinion.
nice simple color. Reminds me of Vapor 9 club last year.
Hey Nozak,
cool shoes! I want to order similar ones. Did you use the color studio red everywhere? Can you post some other pictures, especially from another perspective?
Yeah I used red everywhere. If the midsole was red then it would have been perfect but they're still good. I will post pics later
French Open Night? The French Open only has day matches.
Got these last week...kinda boring but I like 'em. One more pair on the way (sloooow)...
Those are clean and nice. I haven't pulled the trigger. Such a damn rip off. YOLO.
Absolutely...I've been ripped off 6 times now..haha
Excellent !!
I hesitated between yours and mine (picture below, as a reminder) and finaly choose mine for there is not too much red.
It's actually cool to see my second choice live !!!
Great choice, really.
By the way...
Did anyone order one of the 2 black+red designs below ?
(only the vents are different)
I'm curious to see them live !
Wow! The green soles!
@Tyler, nice clean look. I'm tempted - but think I'll just get the white ones Fed wore at Hamburg and Gstaad.
Love 'em raph. Nice choice.
Nice design Raph. Love the simplicity.
thanks guys
Yo raph! You don't mind me jacking that style and adding a couple of my own unique touches? Those are clean and basic but still eye-catching.
Hey, of course !!! You don't have to ask me, really
You can make any design you want, including "mine" which is not exclusive !
Show us a picture when you get them, please.
Vote For Your Favorite, Suggest A Nice Tongue Id
Hi all,
My son used to have the Vapor 9 Tour 2012 US open limited edition (pictured below). Unfortunately, these were stolen last weekend. I am trying to replace them for him, but it has been impossible to find them (just a couple on **** an not his size 8.5). Any suggestion in where to find them is appreciated. Thus, I am trying to buy something similar with a customized vapor 9 in orange and royal blue - his favorite colors-. I would like to see what you guys thing, which of the two models below do you like more, with the orange swoosh or with the white one? Any other design in orange and blue is welcomed. Finally, I also accept suggestion on a nice tongue id. Any suggestions? Would love to hear your input guys. Thanks.
OUR DESIGNS; Which one is your favorite? Do you suggest another one?
I'm terribly sorry for that. Those Vapor 9s were a beauty. In my opinion though they shouldn't be worn for tennis. They're limited edition like the 287 editions.
About the id pair: ask your son if you're not gonna surprise him how he should design it. For the tongue id put something catchy (I would put "Young Andy" for my name).
Actually. I'm not getting those (I'm still high school) anytime soon. They just look so clean though. Not as clean as Fed's Olympic Vapors.
Help! Unhappy with mine.
I have ordered the same size and width i usually get(perfect fit).
My pair of Vapor ID feel wider...
I can't check now but i have ordered the narrow fit(Tour Fit).
How can i see if they messed up and did use the Regular Fit(Wide...)
Any code under the Tongue??
Send them back (it's free) and order the same again. If they made a mistake, I doubt they'd do it twice.
Otherwise, it's possible than the "tour fit" of the iD is a bit wider then the retail.
As far as I noticed, my iD are not wider than the retail. Or maybe it's a little wider but not enough for I noticed...
Don't know if it helps...
I can't access to the profile of the shoes i have ordered(i need to check if a mistake has been done with my original order).
And if i could check on the shoes(with a code) if it's Tour or Regular fit, that would be cool...
My Vapor 9 IDs.
Ugghhh, hate doing links. My Vapor IDs.
Sorry for the multi post. Couldn't figure how in the blue moon to post this where it wasn't a link.
i would not expect that...
Mine do not feel like the retail ones that i love...
I just sent them back!
I had width issues with my pair also.
I chose tour fit because Nike told me on the phone and in email that it was the closest to the retail shoe width. When they showed up they were noticeably narrower. It turns out regular fit which they call "wider" is actually the one which more closely mimics the width of the retail version. Mine weren't a dead loss as I just have to wear them with one pair of socks instead of my usual two.
These sort of stories are not uncommon - they do them in smallish batches and the variation in them is greater than people often realise. A whole batch could be 5mm narrower or wider than the last and that's fine by Nike and most customers too. If you contact them I'm sure they'll replace them.
I will keep buying the retail ones...
No more experiences with Nike ID for me, a real waste of time.
Awesome! Love the colors. The pair I ordered are quite similar but with a grey upper!
Love that design, very elegant.
Finally got them
Finally got my Vapor 9, great quality[/URL][/IMG]
Vapor 9s (IDs included) are the best iteration since it was designed and built from the ground up unlike its previous Vapors. I have no issues with widths. A lot of my buddies made the mistake of going a size bigger in hopes of alleviating the width issue, a no-no. Just go for NB if width is the problem. But if looking pretty is the main goal, just buy it, wear it to walk around but don't play with it to avoid painful injuries.
Is this the BEST Vapor 9 in history of Vapor 9's ??
Don't really like the color of these vapor 9s. Was expecting something more colorful like Nadals Court Ballistics. But I don't like the court ballistics because they are kinda heavy.
Maybe when it's Australian Open season and Nike rolls out with new Vapor 9s, the color should be better. Would be buying those.
WTF Vapor9 will be grey with dark-armory-blue "fingers" and teal tint swoosh. Not as colorful as Nadal's current one but you might like them
I would say USO12 day (white/obsidian/univ.blue) and the "flames" are the GV9OAT...
But you're right, this white/black/red colorway is very very nice, and a classic one !!!
I'm glad I choose the same colorway for my iD, I don't need to buy those retail one
but isn't the ID ones super expensive ? why not just buy the retail one ?
Because at the time I bought my iD the current retail one were not released yet, and I wasn't even aware of them.
But it's cool to choose your own design anyway. I like the "colorway" of the current vapor, but not the "design" : the black fingers aren't my cup of tea. I choose a full white upper instead, and a black sole. No regret, really
(watch a couple of pages back in this thread to see them)
About the price, yes it's a bit more expensive than retail, but again it's cool to make your own design and have a unique colorway. I could afford it some months ago, so I bought them.

World's Largest Family Owned Butter Creamery is Growing in Central Wisconsin
Grassland Dairy Products, Inc., the largest family owned butter creamery in the world, is doubling milk plant capacity to churn more butter and dairy products, located in the heart of Central Wisconsin.
Producing one third of the world's butter, Grassland currently processes more than 4.8 million pounds of milk per day to churn out more than 280,000 pounds of butter daily - the equivalent to 70 semi-truck loads of butter a day. With added capacity the plant is now poised to run 8 million pounds of milk through the plant using three ultra-modern continuous churns each producing 50,000 pounds of butter per hour.
Award-winning butter starts with the high quality milk supplied daily by the more than 850 patron dairy producers and churned into butter under the artful craft of esteemed buttermakers as part of company's team of 500 employees.
"We have a 12-bay intake and can unload 12 trucks of milk at one time and each truck contains about 50,000 pounds of milk," says Grassland Vice President Trevor Wuethrich. "Before unloading, all milk undergoes rigorous quality tests to ensure meets and exceeds standards. That milk is then stored in 50,000 gallon silos and kept at 44 degrees Fahrenheit until it's used. Once that milk is churned into butter and placed in its proper packaging, it is stored in our 60,000 square foot cold warehouse and ready for semi-trucks to take it all over the country."
Among the companies most recognized butter brands consumers will find in the dairy aisle bearing the creamery's name is Grassland, along with other marketed brands, including Fall Creek, Golden Goodness and Country Cream.
"Grassland packages 100 different butter brands," says Wuethrich. "About 90 of those brands being retail brands, and you'll see all throughout the United States different brands of butter, and likely most of them come from our butter plant."
In addition to complete milk and cream processing capabilities to produce an array of butter and dairy products, Grassland recently installed two state-of-the-art milk driers allowing the plant to dry 28,000 pounds of powder per hour or 4.7 million pounds weekly. The milk driers allow Grassland to get the most value from patron milk by drying down the milk into a powder used as a food and beverage ingredient.
Plans are also being thought out to install a lactose dryer to make a high quality edible powder for the food industry. The new lactose dryer would create 25 new jobs in the area.
Grassland produces an enticing menu of award-winning butter products for dining, cooking, baking and confectionary creations delivering unmatched quality and pure flavor every time. For more information, visit www.grassland.com

Sox have plenty of options around horn
Francona to mix and match in infield due to Lowell's hip injury
By Mark Remme / MLB.com
Such is the case in the American League Championship Series, where the Sox will be without third baseman Mike Lowell for the duration of their matchup with Tampa Bay.
Lowell -- nursing a partially torn labrum in his right hip -- visibly battled pain throughout the ALDS against the Angels, receiving a night off during Game 2 in Anaheim and playing through pain in Game 3 back at Fenway Park. He was replaced by Gil Velazquez on the ALDS roster prior to the team's Game 4 win.
That means the infield shuffle method will be used at least through this series with the Rays, leaving Francona to weigh his options prior to each contest on which combination puts his team in the best position to win.
"Things like that have happened all year long," first baseman Sean Casey said. "We've brushed that off and know that we need to keep pushing forward and keep pushing the ball."
Francona's lineup on Monday proved more than sufficient, helping bolster a 3-2 win over the Halos and propelling the Sox into the ALCS.
Moving regular first baseman Kevin Youkilis to third, Boston started August acquisition Mark Kotsay at first. In that scenario with Youkilis moving across the diamond, Casey can also be inserted at first base -- though Kotsay holds stronger fielding and baserunning skills.
Kotsay is primarily an outfielder, having not played first base since 2006 with Oakland before coming to Boston. But Francona continuously applauds his footwork at the position, saying he's more than capable of producing in the infield.
He showed that ability on Monday, tracking down two foul ball pop-ups for outs while also scoring the game's first run.
Lost in the shuffle of first baseman is Youkilis, who is praised by his teammates for making such an easy shift to the hot corner. Youkilis played third most of his life growing up and was molded into a Gold Glove Award-winning first baseman as a member of the Red Sox.
"I think he makes the transition so easily that we kind of take it for granted," Lowell said. "Not only did he go from third to first two years ago, but how he can go back and forth [now].
"You really tip your hat to a guy like that because he allows for so much flexibility."
Francona holds the ability to keep Youkilis at first base on occasion by moving shortstop Jed Lowrie to third base and inserting utility infielder Alex Cora at short.
Cora is generally used when he has good batting numbers against an opposing pitcher. That might be the criteria for being inserted into the lineup, as both Kotsay and Casey provide better offensive production than the 32-year-old veteran.
Still, it's another option for Francona. With Dustin Pedroia at second base being the lone constant around the horn, Francona has a lot of options when making out his lineup card.
Losing Lowell -- the 2007 World Series MVP -- was clearly a devastating blow to the Red Sox's lineup, but one they can overcome just by digging into their resourceful bench.
It's what they've done all season long.
"I think it's been resilient," Casey said. "We haven't made any excuses for anybody. Guys stepped in and played well. We were able to get into the playoffs, and once you get here anything can happen."

The Antietam Battlefield Illumination
If you haven't seen this in person, I will guarantee you that it will be well worth your while to do so. Once a year, on the first Saturday in December, the Antietam Battlefield is illuminated with one candle for every casualty at the battle. The candles are placed in small paper bags with sand in the bottom for weight. The Battlefield is toured by car in total darkness except for the candles.
Let me try to explain my feelings on my first trip there. As you enter the park you turn your lights off and slowly, ever so slowly, creep along. Then you can see a row of candles beside the road, then another, then another, and as you top the hill more of the battlefield comes into view, suddenly, as far as the eye can see there are rows, upon rows of candles. Slowly you move along and the candles seem to be never ending. I thought, "Was this what 23,000 casualties meant? Would almost ever spot on the battlefield be covered ?" "My God!!" Then an old song about the war started to creep into my head. I just couldn't get rid of the haunting words, "All that was that was left was the dead and dying. The Blue lying 'long side the Gray." Then, it seemed, almost as suddenly as it began, I was out of the park. I thought only a very few minutes had passed until I looked at the clock. I had been on this "blood soaked" battlefield for more than a half an hour! Then I remembered, even in the darkness, I had seen the "Bloody Lane, the Mumma Farm, the Dunkard Church", all pass before me. These were objects that I was thoroughly familiar with and had seen many times, but had never viewed them with so many "casualties" before. My friends if you are fortunate enough to live where you can make this once a year tour, don't miss it. It is a sight to behold!
"The Memorial Illumination of Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland is dedicated to those brave soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that you and I could enjoy the freedoms of today. We light these candles tonight to honor those 23,110 soldiers, of both Blue and Gray, who were casualties of the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862.
The luminaries were lighted and placed on the Battlefield today by over 800 volunteers. "

"Rash" says the chart. "Great!", think I, a reasonably straightforward case to end my shift.
I'm a hand-shaker of a doctor, and though I consider the case, generally I'll shake everyones' hand, ungloved. This is one of those times I probably should have looked before I shook. Spots. On the feet, too.
Yes, he's got a healing, nearly painless lesion the size of a quarter on his member. Yes, it's contagious this way, and yes, I washed my hands very thoroughly.
Oh, it's secondary syphillis, for those who wondered.

GAMCO's Mario Gabelli has decided to welcome back Caribou Coffee Company Inc. (CBOU) into his portfolio, purchasing 1.98 percent of the company's outstanding shares, which is a total of 401,974 shares, at an average price of $16.
On Monday, Minneapolis-based Caribou announced its agreement to be acquired by private investment firm Joh. A. Benckiser (JAB), a transaction that will cost about $340 million, or $16.00 per share.
As reported by New York Times, Caribou is the second coffee shop JAB acquired this year, Peet's Coffee & Tea Inc. (PEET) being the first. JAB also maintains position in cosmetics brand Coty, women designer shoe label Jimmy Choo and consumer goods company Reckitt Benckiser.
Caribou is a small-cap company that has delivered 14.6 percent in market value, year to date, almost as good as coffee titan Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), whose market price has appreciated 18.26 percent this year. Caribou's now fellow JAB-backed brand, Peet's Coffee, went up 17.2 percent year to date.
Based on the number of coffee houses, Caribou is the second largest company-operated premium coffeehouse in the U.S. Its three operating segments are retail coffeehouses, commercial and franchise.
"Caribou has a fantastic brand and unique culture, and fits perfectly with JAB's investment philosophy of investing in premium and unique brands in attractive growth categories like coffee," said Bart Becht, JAB Group chairman. "JAB is committed to investing in Caribou as a standalone business out of Minneapolis to ensure the Company continues its current highly successful track record."
Gabelli initially acquired Caribou in the third quarter of 2010, with 17,000 shares. The holding didn't last long; Gabelli sold out of the stock in the following quarter – a quick bet. At the time, he purchased the stock at an average price of $9.84.
Caribou stock was up about 0.05 percent in today's trading. GuruFocus ranks the company 9 in Financial Strength and 6 in Profitability and Growth.
According to its 10-Year Financials, Caribou has maintained an annual growth rate of 6.99 percent.
Another Guru besides Gabelli who has holding of Caribou is Pioneer Investments. Both Paul Tudor Jones and Jim Simons sold out of the stake in the third quarter.

beleived to be a head of a reptile ,
Not a reptile head- probably just a rock but still a nice find.
Hi gcain
Nice find, it looks to be one of those pyritic nodules from charmouth, usually containing an ammonite but it looks like bone material instead.
Did you take it to the Heratage center for id?
Tabfish, I think you've nailed it.
Thank's Mike

As we have apparently deciphered the human genome it becomes scientifically reasonable to presume that man, and living things on earth were MADE. But given the sorrow, horror, death, pain, and suffering of almost all sentient beings here it is also logical and reasonable to believe that the creator is something very, very different from what the widely accepted writings of the christian faith (or most any other) declare him to be.
It's amazing how those who in one breath, declare the creator unchanging through the ages, assign him (or her) qualities as if they were choosing lunch at the local buffet. This is evidenced by the silly, wish fulling flights of fantasy we have been reading in this column. The catholic church is even now, altering one of the most fundamental tenets of the christian faith, the Athanasian Creed, commonly known as the doctrine of the holy trinity, which has been in use and generally accepted since the sixth century of the common era. In response to charges of polytheism (worshiping multiple 'gods') the catholic church undertook to declare that the father, son and holy ghost were 'one' in being and essence. This declaration included anathemas, or the condemnation of those who disagree with the Creed. To quote; "Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled; without doubt he shall perish everlastingly." In other words, comply with our theology or go to hell. Athanasius composed it during his exile in Rome, and presented it to Pope Julius I as a witness to his orthodoxy. In other words, he sought favor and acceptance in a social order by complying with their own self designed and generally accepted construct of 'god'.
I wonder if the ultimate blasphemy against the creator (provided that HE or SHE actually exists in some form relative to christian writings) is religion itself. How easily and eagerly people are led around by those who purport to know the ultimate truths of life and site legend and allegory in the form of books whose declared 'truths' cannot possibly be authenticated nor proven.
It's disturbing to think that those in positions of governmental authority use these legends as the basis for wielding power over their charges. As we climb out of the primordial ooze and begin to be able to draw the most rudimentary conclusions about our universe and existence it becomes increasingly evident that it would be absurd to think there are not entities that have far more control and power over the physical universe than we, and how easily we would interpret these 'powers' as those of a 'god' if they were manifested in our presence. It is obvious that man has invented the creator that best serves his own particular hopes, purposes and social design, and that the actual 'god' is the social order. Personally, I think it is time for the creator to step up and speak for himself and dispel these distortions of man known as religion. And, anyone that uses his religion for vain purposes such as getting elected, or securing an income, should immediately be relegated to ________ (fill in the blank with your own creativity).

CCS board addresses divisiveness
Staff Writer
CAMBRIDGE, N.Y. -- A seriously fractured school board was acknowledged during a more than four-hour board meeting Tuesday at Cambridge Central School, after not much discussion on education.
Board members indicated they were no longer on speaking terms. "If I say hello to you, a simple hello (back) would be enough," said board President Kerri Brown, calling into question the "sincerity" of a motion to hold additional board retreats to attempt some resolution.
Invoking the "elephant in the room," board member Paul Baker-Porazinski made the motion three-and-a-half hours into the meeting to hold a minimum of two retreats over the next two months, each at least two hours in length, including the full board and superintendent, legal counsel, and -- on the advice of counsel, according to Baker-Porazinski -- local BOCES Superintendent James Dexter.
Citing sportsmanship and overstepping of roles, Baker-Porazinski said the board had a "fairly long list of pitfalls."
"I think the issues that need to be addressed are serious and numerous, and I think the benefits to the long-term functioning of the board will be well worth the (expense)," he said in response to a query by board member Peggy McLenithan about the cost, which would be mostly for legal counsel.
The board held two retreats last year, albeit both without board member Tom Wolski, who was unavailable because of work and is the only sitting member to have served a complete three-year term.
"My concern here is the sincerity behind that (motion). I'm all for working together," Brown said, continuing on to say the treatment she had received as president had been "beyond disgusting."
A petition to the state Education Commissioner's office was filed last year alleging Brown did not meet the one-year residency requirement before she ran for her seat last May. The residency requirement is set by state law and local district policy and a decision has not been issued.
"For a human being, for having an opinion and sticking by that opinion ... I myself have been dragged through the mud and so have my family. For what? For trying to help," she said. "If there was true sincerity, I'd be the first one sitting down."
The motion failed 2-1 with Wolski and Baker-Porazinski in support, Brown against, and McLenithan and board member Lillian Herrington abstaining.
"I'm not even sure what you think the issue is," said Herrington, to which Baker-Porazinski read from a list that included misunderstanding of board/superintendent roles, directives from individual board members to administrators, attempts to override administration decisions on contracts, violations of the superintendent's contract, improperly convened executive sessions and public meeting violations, issues managing committees, and board members not completing mandatory trainings. "These are things I feel comfortable saying in public session," he said.
Tuesday's meeting began with a proposal by Herrington for a diesel re-fueling station at the school bus garage which was met with resistance from board members and administration. Herrington's proposal recommended moving forward with a fueling station immediately, instead of including it in a future building project that would take longer but be reimbursed 79.5 percent under state aid formulas.
"Normally something like this would go through the building committee. Basically I'm taken aback," said Wolski, who with Herrington sits on that committee. "They've been cut out of the loop."
Raymond "Bud" Durrin, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said the proposal on the table was not detailed enough to go out to bid. Superintendent Vincent Canini said he could not support the proposal, which included renting the fuel tank, because of greater liability issues without going through an architect and the proper channels. A board resolution asked Herrington to present the proposal to the building committee at its next meeting for review and evaluation.
During public comment, speaking for about two-dozen teachers in attendance, sixth grade teacher Carl Flint reacted to what he called a "sales pitch" at the previous month's meeting about confidential reporting hotlines for reporting fraud and abuse. The service would seem duplicative of an existing toll-free hotline set up by the state Comptroller's office.
The board invited the speaker, a certified fraud examiner, to present after a similar pitch at the New York State School Boards Association's convention in Rochester last October, attended by Brown and Herrington.
Flint said the presentation "accomplished nothing more than creating the impression that (fraud) is an ongoing issue being dealt with at Cambridge, when nothing could be further from the truth." He said employees and teachers were offended, insulted, and appalled, and he questioned the value of sending two representatives to the conference in Rochester: an expense that totaled $1,378 for the district.
Brown said she was concerned that might be the perception beforehand and that wasn't her intent. "I don't feel like anyone is stealing money," Herrington said.
The meeting ended with an executive session for the "employment history of a particular individual (and) employment contract and evaluation."

After two weeks of minimal training that peaked at jogging laps around the practice field, Columbus Crew forward Federico Higuain's status for Saturday's match against the New England Revolution (7:30 pm ET; MLS Live) is still in doubt.
Higuain picked up a hip contusion in the early stages of Columbus's 1-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City on October 5, and the team's Designated Player spent much of the match limping around the pitch, and had last week off of training. Crew interim head coach Brian Bliss said that the decision may be left in Higuain's hands.
"The doctors said it's kind of his own personal threshold type of thing," Bliss told reporters on Friday at training. "[The team doctor] isn't saying [Higuain] can play, he's not saying he can't play. He said, 'Look, it's up to the individual in terms of his tolerance, threshold and mobility.'"
What Higuain's specific pain threshold might be is in some doubt, but he gritted through a full 90 minutes with the injury against Sporting KC, and Bliss said that Higuain indicated he wanted to play again.
"We just talked briefly, and straight line running seems to be OK. But the turning and twisting is obviously sending pain up the nerve," Bliss said. "But he knows that's going to happen when he turns and twists. He says he feels – I wouldn't say great – but he says he feels OK."
Higuain spent Friday's short training session running around the pitch, and though he wasn't doing any intense work, Bliss thought the Argentinian seemed to be improving.
"He's doing all right. I was watching out of the corner of my eye, and he was whipping around the field pretty well," Bliss said. "Obviously we didn't throw him into the mix with the guys for contact reasons, but he looked okay running around the outside of the field."
Despite the importance of Saturday's trip to New England, Bliss said that the team won't put pressure on Higuain to return if he's not ready, even though the match is an ultimate must-win.
"You never want to put the player's personal injury status in jeopardy or make it worse, whether it's game 13 or 32," he said. "Obviously the stakes are a little bit higher and sometimes guys are willing to stick a little more pain behind them in certain instances like this, but I'm not going to pressure him and the club's not pressuring him."
Fortunately for the Crew, the team will be taking a charter flight to New England Friday, which will give them more time to deliberate on Higuain's status. While Bliss could not commit to Higuain making the trip, he said that the team would be taking "a couple extra" players, and not just the 18 that will be active for Saturday.
"We have a charter, so we have the luxury of a flight-time decision, I guess," Bliss said. "So we can wait all the way up until the last minute, as opposed to having a commercial, where you have to have everything cleared 24 hours in advance and all that. So we caught a bit of a break, having us be on the charter."

High Cotton Prices Tested VF Corp., CFO Says
Apparel and shoe maker VF Corp. expects to keep its prices at current levels even as cotton prices fall from two years of all-time highs, which should allow it to continue to expand margins, the company's chief financial officer said.
Operating margins have returned to more normal levels, Chief Financial Officer Bob Shearer told CFO Journal in an interview, and the company expects continued margin expansion on lower materials costs. VF Corp. reported higher-than-expected fourth-quarter profit on Friday.
