the part at the very end of track2 where the track gets all messed up reminds me of one of the songs from the first record that had an obvious user or software error

Weird. I kind of expected this to be more Looping-y than Things Keep Falling Down, but it isn't really. Kind of a mix of the live instrumentation aspects of his 2nd LP mixed with maybe the Sound of Light EP.

The couple of songs I've heard sound more interesting than the ones from the last album but he needs to cut on the laziness for his album covers, doesn't help me think his sound isn't stuck in the same old same old.

yeah i saw them once right after From Here to Sublime and again after Yesterday and Today... both times a 3 piece band and the first time the sound was way off, but the second time was amazing.... though the second time they opened for Juan Maclean who were even better with a similar set up.

Why would HBO and Mr. Ferrell find the death of America solders anything to make fun of? I do not care about if we should have been there or not. Make fun of that but to try and get a laugh out of anyone's death being a services man or woman or a civilian is wrong! We Americas have always made fun of our leaders but to make fun of those that would give their life for us, is wrong and is not comedy at all but is an attack on our country.

Phillies fans pay tribute to Kalas
Thousands say goodbye to legendary broadcaster
By Andy Jasner / Special to MLB.com
They came in baby carriages and on crutches. They came from as far as Syracuse, N.Y., and Williamsport, Pa.
They came for one reason: To say goodbye to the voice they all remember so vividly.
For legendary Phillies announcer Harry Kalas, who died Monday at the age of 73, these fans would do anything. And they did.
Beginning at 8 a.m., thousands of fans had the opportunity to pay their respects on the field at Citizens Bank Park as they passed Kalas' casket, which was located behind home plate. A steady stream of fans continued to stop at the casket shortly before the on-field tribute began at 1:30 p.m. Some took pictures of Kalas' photos, which were located adjacent to the casket. Some kissed the casket.
"There was no way I was missing this," said Jonathan Jackson of North Philadelphia. "I grew up listening to Harry. Whether I was at home with my family and hanging out with friends at the Jersey Shore, Harry's voice was always with us. I'm 33. I go all the way back with Harry. In fact, one time I was waiting in line at Wawa and Harry was in line, maybe five or six people behind. I asked if he could sign an autograph for me and he bought my coffee and even added a bagel. He was such a great man, the absolute best."
Some fans began waiting outside the ballpark long before the sun filled the spring sky on Saturday morning.
Joan Robinson was raised in South Jersey but moved to the Syracuse area when she was 10. Even from that young age, she recalled listening to Phillies games on the radio with her family.
About five hours away in upstate New York, the voice was still there. On many nights, Robinson could still hear Kalas' booming voice on the radio.
"I listened to 1210 (radio) as much as I could," said Robinson, who woke up at 1 a.m. and drove to Philadelphia to say goodbye to Kalas. "I never met Harry, but I feel as if I've known him my whole life. When I heard the news on Monday, I was so heartbroken. I felt as if I lost a member of my family. I'm still a huge Phillies fan and always be thanks to Harry."
Williamsport is the home of the Little League World Series. It's also the home of Rob Estingson.
Like Robinson, this 29-year-old Phillies fan set his alarm clock for 1:30 a.m. to make sure he arrived in time for the tribute.
"I met Harry once in Williamsport and he was so gracious," Estingson recalled. "I don't think I've ever come across a nicer human being. You know when someone is genuine. He was genuine. He was so real. He made you feel like you could talk to him about anything. There aren't many people like that on this Earth. He was a special man. I just felt like I owed it to myself to come to Philadelphia and say goodbye just from that one experience I shared with Harry."
The fans roared in appreciation every time Kalas' call proclaiming the Phillies as the 2008 World Champions flashed on PhanaVision.
This was a perfect way to say goodbye and revel in all the incredible good times that Kalas provided for the fans in this area and beyond.
"I cried for two days after Harry passed away," said Joseph Smithton of Scranton. "I have been a lifelong Phillies fan. I couldn't believe it and still can't. After two days of tears, I've been remembering all the good times and all the great calls Harry made. Really, Harry had a voice that you could count on every day. He was in your living room and he was so positive. I came in contact with Harry a few times and he was so unassuming. It was almost hard to believe he was a high-profile announcer. He never viewed himself that way."
But his adoring fans sure did.
That's why they came in droves to make one last stop at the casket.
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, Phillies President David Montgomery, pitcher Jamie Moyer and former star Mike Schmidt were among those who spoke so eloquently about their departed friend.
Kalas always put the fans first. He was one of them despite going to the broadcast booth every night.
"We love you Harry!," one fan bellowed.

yeah that was a tough loss, and even tougher for mikey D too. we couldnt make big shots at all. we fought pretty hard, but im not expecting a win tomorrow at LA, especially being the second game of a back to back. but we'll see.
They will cheer loud
They will boo

D-LEE42FanLEE'S A BEAST!!!
we were horrible from downtown...but on the flip side we still stayed in the game because we play DEFENSE...its a tough loss but a good one(if there is such a thing) our team defense got that much better we fought for 48 mins when we coulda given up after being down by 17 but we fought our way to as close as 3 points....we lost 2 key guys Chandler(who was having a good game) and Lee(who was again effective. Harrington even though he had a bad shooting game he adjusted and got to the line and got most his points in the paint and Nate kept us in the game with his hustle and many tip rebounds to teammates....but im impressed with our resiliance and DEFENSE if our shoot was just decent we woulda won this game....i want us to play like this more often, but we hit shots and play Defense only a matter of time till these loses turn to wins and we back on top
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
We lost but I have to say that I am proud of the way they hung in there exspecially shooting that bad from three.Everytime we got close they went to Shaq or AD and called a foul.One thing that needs to be asked is why did they quit giving Nate the ball when he was on fire and got us to within three.
We were the most unlucky team in sports tonight. We couldn't knock down an open 3 to save our lives, the refs were against us, and Shaq hit most of his free throws. We fought hard and played good defense, all you could ask for from the team. There's gonna be nights like this, just gotta get past it.
Last nights game was a tough loss but a really entertaining game to watch. Our shots werent goin down last night, especially the 3's which is usually what wins games. The knicks still fought hard and stayed in it.... In a situation like last night the past couple years we would fight back from down 25 to down 15 as apposed to how we kept rallying back to get within 7 or 5. Every time we got down big we got back in it... which is what the knicks of our recent past wouldnt have done. I was impressed.
As for Harrrington... His shot was off all game and he still found ways to contribute. Shaq even gave him props at the end of the game saying he is playing like an allstar. Even on a bad night he still put up numbers, I like him more and more every time I watch him play. I think he really wants to stay in NY and is playing hard every night to prove it.
Tonight I just want to see the Knicks stay competitive and not get blown out. After a hard fought game like last night I cant see them beating the Lakers.
awesome gamethread.
on the postive side we played great team defense...hope we could do more of that...
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
How you gonna have David Lee guard Shaq? We need a big man just as much as another guard.
Yesterday, December 15 was the first day free agents signed in the summer are allowed to be traded. I say we make a move for Camby.
His contract expires in 2010. Plus, the Clippers need move someone from the ZBO, Kaman, Camby log jam.
what ever happened to that nyknicks126 kid lol?
He got smashed by the Metrocard bus!
yea metro dropped the worst ether ever dropped on a poster basically retired him from the site....

National Grid Creates $350k Sustainable Energy Endowment at Clarkson University
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/nationalgrid.j pg.]
Clarkson University and National Grid today announced the creation of a $350,000 endowment at Clarkson. The National Grid Endowed Fund for Student Research Opportunities in Sustainable Energy will annually fund up to five summer research opportunities for Clarkson Honors Program students studying sustainable energy.
"Clarkson has a rich history of educating engineers for the energy industry and we are proud to be able to support and broaden its resources dedicated to building our industry's sustainable future," said Tom King, president of National Grid, U.S. "National Grid's endowment at Clarkson University is designed to provide educational and career pathways for bright young students and is an investment in the future of sustainable energy and engineering. The endowment supports National Grid's community involvement goals, which are focused on energy and the environment; education and skills; and community development."
"We are most grateful to National Grid for this generous endowment, which will enable further research opportunities for our undergraduate students in one of the University's signature areas of research, the environment and energy," said Clarkson President Tony Collins. "Partnerships like this one provide our students with access to state-of-the-art research technology, while simultaneously benefitting our nation's energy consumers. National Grid is enabling Clarkson and its students to continue playing a key role in research that will ultimately strengthen the economy of both New York state and the nation."
"This support will enable some of our most promising students to perform cutting-edge research and acquire the skills necessary to contribute to a sustainable future for all of us," said David M. Craig, director of the Honors Program.
The students' research includes areas like power systems, energy education, energy efficiency, energy harvesting and storage, bioenergy, fuel cells and hydrogen fuel, solar energy systems, and wind energy.
"Our need for sustainable energy may be the biggest challenge the world has ever faced," said Prof. Kenneth D. Visser, director of Clarkson's Center for Sustainable Energy Systems. "We are very grateful for National Grid's generosity and belief in the importance of investing in this research."
The students will also benefit from a series of seminars and workshops on sustainability and participate in field trips and team-building activities.
Built upon current and emerging problems in science, technology and society, Clarkson's Honors Program offers unique academic challenges and opportunities for Clarkson's most promising students. The University admits no more than 30 new students to the program each year.
Clarkson recently announced a new minor in sustainable energy systems for all engineering and engineering and management majors. The minor requires courses in technology, policy and industrial ecology, encouraging students to examine the human side of energy issues.
National Grid is an international energy delivery company. In the U.S., National Grid delivers electricity to approximately 3.3 million customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island, and manages the electricity network on Long Island under an agreement with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). It is the largest distributor of natural gas in the northeastern U.S., serving approximately 3.4 million customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island. National Grid also owns over 4,000 megawatts of contracted electricity generation that provides power to over one million LIPA customers.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Export advice offered to businesses
Advice is to be offered to every medium-sized firm in the country on exporting or breaking into new markets.
Trade minister Lord Livingstone is to write to 8,900 UK companies in the coming months asking if they want support from UK Trade and Investment (UKTI).
Fewer than one in five mid-sized businesses - with an annual turnover of between £25 million and £250 million - generate revenues outside the European Union, compared to 25% in Germany and 30% in Italy.
Lord Livingstone said: "Mid-sized businesses have the potential to be economic powerhouses for the UK economy, creating jobs and growth for all regions of the UK.
"Their success is dependent on expanding beyond domestic markets so we will be making personal contact with all mid-sized businesses to find out what we can do to help them go up a gear and compete with the best the rest of the world has to offer.
"Businesses excel with UKTI's support and we want to make sure that they are not just trading abroad, but thriving there."

DETROIT -after Mayor Dave Bing imposed cuts to union pay and benefits.
The officers held an emergency meeting to discuss the forced 10 percent pay cut to all Detroit city workers, work rule changes and changes to health car that increase employee contributions.
"They're looking at dollars and no damn sense," said Detroit Police Officers Association President Joe Duncan. "This makes no sense at all."
Related: Detroit police union president says union is done
The cuts are meant to save the city in the midst of a financial crisis.
More: Detroit City in Crisis special section
"It's just absolutely a slap in the face," said Derrick Jones, a 16-year veteran of the force.
Emotions ran high as officers plotted their next course of action with union leaders. An appeal to reverse Bing's actions, which take effect immediately, is now in motion.
"It is imperative that the people of the city of Detroit stop accepting less, and say they want more," said Jones.

LDOs: Little Respect, but Lots of Innovation
4 comments post a comment
Switching regulators get most of the DC/DC attention, but the venerable low-dropout regulator may be the better choice in your design, especially when encountering higher temperatures.
Pity the poor low-dropout regulator (LDO): like the late comic and actor Rodney Dangerfield, it just doesn't get a lot of respect. Designers who should know better automatically assume that the switching DC/DC regulator is the regulator of choice, because "everyone" knows that the LDO is inefficient.
Despite this somewhat-undeserved negative reputation, there are at least 30 credible LDO vendors, offering well over 1000 truly distinct LDOs (not just temperature/performance/package variations of a given model number), and billions are shipped every year in both fairly old and very new designs.
Why the contradiction between LDO image and LDO reality? Depending on the line, load, and usage patterns, the LDO may have overall efficiency comparable to the switcher, or at least "good enough" for the applications. After all, not every application's must-have list is totally dominated with concerns about saving every milliwatt. In exchange, the LDO gives you a lot: simplicity in use, good behavior with various loads, little need for external passives, low noise, good transient response, and more.
Perhaps you are wondering, "What do you specifically mean by that word 'more,' anyway?" It turns out that LDOs can be designed to handle harsh, high-temperature environments and still meet some pretty good specs.
Two recent introductions demonstrate this aspect of LDOs clearly. The TPS7H1101-SP and TPS7H1201-HT LDOs from Texas Instruments (see figure below) deliver up to 3 A and 0.5 A, respectively -- no big deal, so do plenty of other available LDOs. But the 3-A unit is QML Class V qualified for operation up to 125°C, targeting military, satellite, and undersea cable applications; the 0.5-A device is qualified to 210°C, aiming at downhill-drilling needs.
In addition, due to their load-sharing-compatible outputs, each of these LDOs can be paralleled to yield double their individual current outputs, thus reaching 6 A and 1 A (depending on which device you are using). Input range is 1.5 to 7V and dropout is just 75 mV, with output noise of 17 µVrms.
It's not just TI announcing high-temperature LDOs, either. Linear Technology just introduced the LT1965, an adjustable 1-A unit for operation to 150°C, and just 40 µVrms noise (see figure below). This device has an input range of 1.8 to 20 Vdc, and a resistor-settable Vout of 1.9 to 19.5 V, along with 300 mV typical dropout. To counter the bad reputation for low efficiency of LDOs, the regulator also can be put into a shutdown mode for less than 1 µA dissipation.
Before you assume that the LDO is yesterday's solution to today's design problem for tomorrow's products, take a look at the huge assortment of LDOs offered by the many reputable vendors. You may be surprised to find that the virtues of the LDO are what you need, while their apparent primary shortcoming of low efficiency is not as bad you think -- and you may also get high-temperature performance that is harder to achieve, or requires a more complex, and thus costly, switching architecture.

Which of the following statements correctly describe C preprocessor directives in C++?
A. Preprocessor directives are processed before macros are expanded.
B. Any number of #else directives can be used between an #if and an #endif.
C. The #pragma directive is machine-independent.
D. The #import directive is used to copy code from a library into the
program's source code.
E. The #include directive is used to identify binary files that will be
linked to the program.
Well I'm sure I know all these, but am a little unsure about A and C. Now:
* From memory, macros are processed before directives, so A is INCORRECT.
* B is INCORRECT because you can't do #if #else #else #endif
* C is CORRECT since "The #pragma directives offer a way for each compiler to offer machine- and operating system-specific features while retaining overall compatibility with the C and C++ languages." from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...05(VS.71).aspx
* D is obviously CORRECT
* E is obviously CORRECT
Could someone please clarify my answer. Thx.

Clarkson University Professor and Undergrad Show Interactive Video at National Conference
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/bodyofwords.jpg .]
An interactive digital video installation constructed by a Clarkson University professor and undergraduate student was featured at the annual Conference on College Composition and Communication this month in Atlanta.
Bodies of Words was constructed by a team including Clarkson University Professor of Communication and Media Johndan Johnson-Eilola and Clarkson computer science senior Ryan T. Kornheisl of Coxsackie, N.Y., along with University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Associate Professor of English Anne F. Wysocki.
The interactive digital video installation allows users to bridge real and virtual space, tracking users' bodies in three-dimensions using infrared sensors.
The software controlling Bodies of Words downloads messages previously submitted by conference attendees to Twitter, the popular online message service.
Users reach out their hands and select words from the retrieved messages, reassembling and rearranging the words to form new messages. The messages are then uploaded to Twitter for people to read.
The installation was followed by a panel discussion in which Johnson-Eilola and Wysocki. discussed their development process and implications of the technology.
Although the infrared sensors are marketed to videogame players, Johnson-Eilola and Wysocki suggested they potentially change the ways people interact with media, with each other, and with the world around them.
Bodies of Words is driven by software designed by Kornheisl, Johnson-Eilola, and Wysocki.
The infrared video for the installation is shot using a Microsoft Kinect, a 3D video camera originally intended for use with an Xbox videogame system, but appropriated by hackers who use the Kinect's infrared and visible spectrum cameras to work with three-dimensional video.
Johnson-Eilola teaches courses in new media, audio production, typography, and design at Clarkson University. He has authored nearly 50 journal articles and book chapters, and six books.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company.

The Guild D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee Dreadnought has a full-bodied, high-volume body style that was developed with an emphasis on string-to-string balance, so that treble, mid and bass registers project evenly. The result is an incredibly musical and versatile dreadnought. The acoustic guitar's top is solid red spruce, offering full balance and projection. The solid mahogany back and sides bring out rich tone, and complement the projection of the spruce top. The Indian rosewood bridge and fretboard produce lasting sustain and tonal clarity. The Gotoh 700 Series nickel-plated open-back tuners add precision to your tuning and the chrome hardware bring out a beautiful shine.
Other unique features on the Guild D-40 acoustic guitar include: ebony headcap, dovetail neck joint with slim heel, lightweight laminated birch tail-block, 30' radius top, red spruce scalloped braced top, pearl dot position inlays, bone bridge pins, bone nut and saddle, tortoise shell bindings, classic guild rosette with tortoise shell stripe, tortoise shell pickguard, dual action truss rod, and a high-gloss finish.

Read, enjoy, and feel free to comment!
Ouch, this writer was being kind of harsh on Mirai, saying that she "will not medal at this event is she does not fix her jumps", pretty sure there are many nicer ways she could have phrased that. Give the girl a break, she's a junior in highschool which is stressful enough and then she's grown 8 inches in the past two and a half years (4'7" at 2007 nats, 5'4" now) and clearly has some self esteem issues which reading an article like that WON'T help. I mean, she won nationals 2 years ago and won the short program a few weeks ago...she doesn't have to prove to anyone that she's good. I want her to medal/win at SC just to show that silly reporter. Mirai is awesome!
Umm, there was no harsh criticism there whatsoever, that is just called stating facts - She did not medal at her last event with those jump problems. Mirai herself obviously knows this, since she was there. There was no actual put-down in the article beyond that to further rattle her self esteem.... Same jump problems will equal same result.
She simply has to work and be patient for results; if she is talented enough the results will come sooner or later.
By the way, not everyone's favourites can be at the top of everyone's prediction list; a good many of the competitors are "awesome" in one way or another
Yeah, I guess you are right. I've just been a little worried about girl after I read this article in September, http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/olym...-olympics.html . Mirai needs to calm down, she's a good skater and will get it together soon enough to show people that. If not this Olympics then she can try for the next one, she'd only be 20 there. I mean look who won the bronze medal this past weekend at 28? I hope Mirai breaks it down at SC
That's some impressive article! Lots of knowledgeable detail and pretty objective, all things considered. I'm sure I'll refer back to it throughout the week. I love the description of Alyssa: a gorgeous skater with every tool at her disposal except confidence. I also was interested in the analysis of what happens to her when she chokes up: that she gets lethargic, slows down, and so doesn't have enough rotation power for her jumps. I never thought of that as a possible explanation of her distress.
I'm glad we get to see Suzuki again! I hope her earlier win wasn't a fluke, and that she tears up the ice...and comes in behind Alyssa and Mirai! (I'm not being chauvinistic--I just want them to do well. They're due!) I hope Phaneuf and Rochette also sizzle.
And we get to see Brezina skate again, and Virtue and Moir? Lucky us! (Or in my case, lucky us once someone gets generous with his/her time on YouTube.)
Predicting the GPs has gotten pretty difficult - even in the dance! - but the preview does make sense. Except this:
It will be kind of hard to get revenge against Kiira considering she's not skating this weekend. Is it revenge by proxy through Laura Lepisto?Canada's Joannie Rochette will look to get revenge on Japan's Akiko Suzuki and Finland's Kiira Korpi who placed ahead of her in Beijing.
silverlake22, I don't think that was harsh criticism. Mirai tends to UR her jumps, URs carry a serious penalty, therefore she can't be considered a contender unless she sorts out this problem. Poorscorer did some analysis recently, and apparently she had the second highest UR percentage of all the ladies last season, and at the time was third highest in 2009-10. Nobody can be seriously competitive in that situation.
Joannie, BTW, was the best in this regard last season among all singles skaters - 0 downgrades in 71 jump elements.

Ken Aug 08 Soggy Trip Report
Posted 25 August 2008 - 12:55 PM
We left Atlanta around 6am Sunday morning on the 17th. We stopped by Waffle House for our Trip Fuel and off we were to the Wettest Place on Earth
I'll apologize now for the lack of pictures as with TS Fay I didn't get many, and then when I got home I learned that my router was dead.
SUN - 17th
We pulled into Saratoga Springs about 1pm. Check in was longer than I have ever seen, but then we usually come in Feb. So I don't know it if it was the time of year or if a Magical Express just unloaded. We got to our room around 2pm and we headed over to Typhoon Lagoon.
Rode Crushin' Gusher, the Storm Slides, Keelhall Falls, and Castaway Creek (where I think I took a short nap). Then we headed over to the Wave Pool. I left that after I kept getting elbowed by others, once in the neck.
We were back at the Resort around 4:30pm to shower and rest up for our ADR at Artist Point. I was really looking forward to the dinner, as it is billed as one of the premire dinners. I am happy to report that dinner was great. I had the Portabello Mushroom Soup and it was to die for, I even asked for the recipee. I had the Buffalo steak as my entree, and enjoyed it with a nice glass of wine. Since the meal was so rich and bad for my tummy, I opted for the Sugar Free berry and Muscat Wine sauce desert.
MON 18th
Today was our Hollywood Studios day. The lines here were more than I am used to, again we usually come in Feb. We headed to Toy Story Mania first thing. We got there at 9:30 and the fast passes were already for 2pm. We got a fast past and got in the stand by line. 40 min wait. Loved Toy Story Mania, it was better than I expected. We rode: Toy Story Midway Mania (twice), GMR, Rockin' Roller Coaster, ToT, Backlot Tour (where I created a new character of a snotty, oily Disney Executive that would but a spin on things, I was this character for most of the day and was cracking up my friends), Star Tours, Animation Station (drew a 1937 Goofy), Playhouse Disney (for the first time), and Fantasmic.
We had lunch at the ABC Commasary, and Dinner at 50's Prime Time.
It did start to rain some today, but it was off and on. There were alot of concern from guests and from Disney about TS Fay hitting the next day. We even got back to our resort to a message on our phone about the change in park hours (all parks were opening at 8am the next day, with extended hours at AMC Theatres and Disney Quest) and that Disney would monitor the weather and make decisions if needed.
Posted 25 August 2008 - 01:10 PM
TUES 19th
Woke up to a very cloudy gray morning. We packed our ponchos and we were off to the Magic Kingdom. The bus was nearly empty, and when we got to the park we were shocked to see how dead the place was. The fear of TS Fay must have driven all the people stay in as it was fewer people than we usually see in Feb. Every thing was walk on. We were done with Adventureland, Frontierland, and Fantasyland (riding just about everything) and we were done with those lands before lunch. Peter Pan's Flight was still like 40 min, of course that ride is always long. But even Dumbo was walk on.
The rides I experienced for the first time were: Dumbo, Magic Carpets, The Riverboat, and Barn Stormer.
The Kingdom was prepared for a Tropical Storm as all the signs were roped down and tied off so they couldn't swing.
We had lunch at the Columbia Harbor House (my first time). After lunch it finally started to drizzle and mist, and the park began to fill up some more. Finally about 5pm or so it started to finally be poncho weather and just continued to rain more throughout the evening.
We had dinner at the Crystal Palace (my first time) and it was at this time that the winds and the rain really picked up (around 7pm). It was a nice dinner, very LOUD, but nice. I got pictures with Pooh, Tigger, and Eeorye, but was dissed by Piglet. He totally saw us and didn't stop, so I vowed revenge and tired to order pork for the rest of the trip in protest.
To our amazement Wishes did go on. Althought it was changed up some. Tinkerbell didn't fly and the lower flying fireworks like the ones during the genie scene were not shot off either.
So all in all it was still a rather full day at the Magic Kingdom, as we were back at the resort around 11pm.

I really enjoyed it, I thought the setting was beautiful. It reminded me of alot of local eateries along the Great Lakes were I grew up.
I had the chicken and fish basket. The fish was actually pretty good. The chicken nuggets were so-so (a bit dry). And they were out of Tartar sause.

WED - Aug 20th
Rain all day again. This was our Animal Kingdom day. We wanted to make sure we rode every wheel and spoke ride at WDW so we rode Triceratop Spin for the first time.
We had lunch at the Yak and Yeti (counter service area). Not a place to choose when it is raining as there are very few covered areas to sit. We found a seclueded table across from the resturant. It was the "garden area" of Drinkwala near the river. It had a table umbrella so it was nice.
I actually enjoyed Animal Kingdom in the rain, as the colors popped out and the animals loved it, so they were out more. I even noticed more of the details in the walkways because they were wet, than I ever had before.
We had dinner at the Tusker House. I think we were there the same day as Scopa (as his post was up the next day on it). I wish I could give it the rave reviews that he did, but I thought it was just ok. Boma is alot better and more choices. The thing that I found the worst about Tusker House was the amount of plates that just weren't clean, it was alot. I think that put me off a bit. I am not talking about streaks from the dish washer, but food particles still on them. I was completely grossed out when I reached for a bowl and underneath there was still a large amount of food on the bottom. barf....
After Animal Kingdom we came back to change into dry clothes, only to head back out into the rain to shop at DTD and head over to Pleasure Island. We talk about going every trip but never seem to make it there, so we finally did. I got to experience the Comedy Warehouse and the Adventure's Club for the first time.
I really enjoyed them both. I wish we had stayed to see a second showing at the Comedy Warehouse as the one we saw didn't seem to be their best. I used to do Improv so I know how it changes based on the showing.
I really enjoyed the Adventurer's Club. I could see myself hanging out in there and being a regular. I loved the design of the place and the decor. The shows were fun, if not packed.
I was hoping to hear or see from our famous Webmaster, but sadly I think the TS kept him away.

Thursday 21st
Today was our half day at Epcot, focusing just on Future World. It is a half day as we had the Spirit of Aloha set for that evening. Of course TS Fay was sharing her love with us again today. We did everything in Future World except Turtletalk and the Circle of Life show. We had lunch at the Electric Umbrella.
There was an event during our Standby Queue at Soarin' that was "funny" that I had to share. We kept getting this waft of something foul. For the longest time I was afraid it was from my wet socks. I was terrified that it was because everyone kept thinking it was me. I was so embarrassed, but other kept saying it wasn't me. When we got off the ride I rushed to the restroom to check and see with a "sniff test". It wasn't me. I suspected it was this woman in front of us that probably should have....well.....trying to put this nicely....washed.
We did learn later on in the day that our Spirit of Aloha show was cancelled due to the high winds. This was really disappointing as I was looking forward to it. Plus I already bought a pin to remember the event. (oh well). So instead we went to DTD to do more shopping and had dinner at Earl of Sandwich.
Posted 28 August 2008 - 08:19 AM
Friday- Aug 22
Today was our Epcot Tour day, and still more rain. After some CM confusion about where we were to enter the park, we finally checked in and waited for our guide. She (CM Nicole) was about 15 min late. I thought it was cool that we were given headsets to hear her. On the tour we learned/visited the following:
Rode Spaceship Earth
History of Epcot
Learned about the House of Tomorrow
5 Min Break
VIP Lounge of the Seas
20 min Break at the Land
VIP Back Doored onto Soarin'
3D Glasses Cleaning Dept at the Imagination Pavilion
Learned about the Fountain of Nations
Backstage at the Energy Pavilion to learn about AA's and saw the old hosts
Cast Member Building behind Test Track
VIP Back Doored onto Test Track
Given a Tour Pin
I enjoyed the tour but CM Nicole did seem a bit rushed, and I think we were shorted a bit on our time due to her being late and the fact that the "Illuminations Globe" was in refrib, but then I don't know how much Fay was causing changes to the tour.
After the tour we went to we lunch at the Sunshine Seasons. After lunch we saw the The Circle of Life (that we skipped the day before). By time the show was done it was time to check in for our Behind the Seeds Tour.
Our guide was CM Fred. He seemed a bit nervous and it was like you could see him reading from the script in his head. We visited the greenhouses and got to feed the Hybrid Tilapia. We learned some about the using of "good" bugs to feed on the "bad" ones. We also got to see in depth the various ways to they use to grow the plants.
After the Seeds tour we headed to World Showcase and shopped in Canada (had to get my Maple Tea). We also took a taste test for Twinings (in the UK). They were testing their cold brew tea. We also shopped in Japan. We saw the American Adventure before heading over to France for our dinner ADR. We ate at Chefs de France. The meal was great, a bit slow but the food was delish.
Illuminations went on, but it was pouring during it of course. The Globe was out for rehab. so the show was a bit different and I believe a bit shorter too.
During EMH we rode:
O Canada
Grande Fiesta Tour
Shopped in China
Spaceship Earth (we always end our Epcot days with this ride)
Saturday - 23rd
Today was our Kennedy Space Center Day. Of course it was all sunny and hot. Curse you Fay, figured you would stop when we were done with the Parks.
It was neat to see things at the center that I have always read about in History classes and seen on TV. I was bummed by the fact that the Shuttle wasn't on the launch pad yet (because of Fay).
We had lunch at the Center and the prices were more than Disney.
I got to see the mock up of the new space vehicle (after the shuttles are mothballed) and got to see people working on the next piece of the International Space station.
We rode there "thrill" ride that they are comparing to Mission Space. It was rather cheesy. Big deal build up but it was just an ok ride. Not to thrilling. Anyone can ride it (it isn't a spinner, just a shaker).
After KSC we ate at Ohana and then saw "Wishes" from the beach of the Poly. We were over to far to hear the music from the pool area, but it was beautiful to see the fireworks from across the Lagoon, reflected in the water as the waves from the ferry were lapping on the shore. It was nice and relaxing.

Carbon Markets
CCX's Sandor gives recommendations for U.S. climate law, talks regulation, oversight of offsets
Five years after its launch, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) is providing tangible evidence to U.S. lawmakers as to how a national carbon emissions trading program might work. How can the blueprint provided by CCX be applied to a national program? During today's OnPoint, Chicago Climate Exchange CEO Richard Sandor, discusses the lessons his organization has learned since its inception. Sandor explains the educational challenges ahead for legislators and he discusses the potential environmental and economic benefits of establishing a national carbon offsets market. He also responds to criticism of his organization's choice of offset projects.

AP Studio Art: 3-D Design: Curricular Requirements
The teacher has read the most recent
AP Studio Art Course Description
The course promotes a sustained investigation of all three aspects of portfolio development -- quality, concentration, and breadth -- as outlined in the Course Description or Studio Art poster throughout the duration of the course. (Note: The body of work submitted for the portfolio can include art created prior to and outside of the AP Studio Art course.)
The course enables students to develop mastery (i.e., "quality") in concept, composition, and execution of drawing, 2-D design, or 3-D design.
The course enables students to develop a body of work investigating a strong underlying visual idea in drawing, 2-D design, or 3-D design that grows out of a coherent plan of action or investigation (i.e., a "concentration").
The course teaches students a variety of concepts and approaches in drawing, 2-D design, or 3-D design so that the student is able to demonstrate a range of abilities and versatility with technique, problem-solving, and ideation (i.e., "breadth"). Such conceptual variety can be demonstrated through either the use of one or the use of several media.
The course emphasizes making art as an ongoing process that involves the student in informed and critical decision making.
The course includes group and individual student critiques and instructional conversations with the teacher, enabling students to learn to analyze and discuss their own artworks and those of their peers.
The course teaches students to understand artistic integrity as well as what constitutes plagiarism. If students produce work that makes use of photographs, published images, and/or other artists' works, the course teaches students how to develop their own work so that it moves beyond duplication.
Resource Requirements
The school ensures that each student has access to art materials and resources necessary to meet the standards for the portfolio he or she chooses to submit.
The school ensures that each AP Studio Art classroom has at least some of the following types of instructional materials that support the formulation of a creative problem and its comprehensive investigation: art books, periodicals, slides, reproductions, and digital images.
The school ensures that each student and teacher has access to a digital camera and a computer equipped with image editing software and an internet connection. This equipment is required for submitting digital portfolios through the AP Studio Art Digital Submission Web Application. Technical requirements for hardware and software are listed on the
Digital Submission page

I saw this in my garden in South London from about 20 feet away, which says more about its size than my vision! It was around 6 inches long and I have NEVER seen a bug so big in the UK!! Sorry for the poor iPhone image but I had to get back to work and didn't have time to grab a 'real' camera! Any ideas what it might be? The closest I have found online is a Blue-eyed Darner but that is native to the west coast of the USA! Maybe this jetstream pulled him here?! Whatever it is it was brilliant to see it up close!!
I think this is a Southern Hawker (Aeahna cyanea). It may also be called a Blue Hawker and on Wikipedia is also listed as a Blue Darner so that might be where you have the different name from,
Hope this is a start,
Aeschna cyanea, else you are correct!

this is the second thread on the same article and subject. I agree with you, no more bonds. And I guess they needed a grownup to tell them to behave like adults and an outsider to tell them to behave like professionals. Hmph.

here's all the other comments from a similar thread
What about the other important item on the agenda last Tuesday, enrollment increase planning. That is also an important topic and I have heard nothing. Was it discussed? Were any decisions made?
Posted by Parent, a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood, 18 hours ago
Healing--as in, oh sh--, people are so pissed off about MI that they might vote against the next bond.
At least we'll be spared another self-righteous lecture about behavior from Ms. Callan.
I think the healing should begin with an extraction of a couple of school board members, followed by pathology reports on Callan's governance and just how hand-in-glove the school bureaucracy got with PACE.
Then maybe we could follow this up with a competent treatment plan where the board and the district actually, oh, comes up with some real solutions to the district's problems/
Posted by OhlonePar, a resident of the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood, 17 hours ago
It's funny how we're told to "heal" on two fronts now -- upper level management & MI. And yet, the two seem to be one and the same in many respects.
My favorite quotes are from page 28 of the management study (aka "Organizational Development Project", found here Web Link):
Note: this was a study of the management team, ostensibly nothing to do with the other trauma facing the district right now.
"The Situation:"
"it seems that the relevance of the current strategic plan has diminished and it is not regularly used to guide planning and decision making"
"A majority [of management team survey respondents] were also concerned about how the Board preserves strategic priorities in the face of parental pressures."
"The Analysis:"
"A robust strategic plan requires a willingness to be constrained by the plan, which means saying "no" to some new demands in order to preserve the direction and momentum toward strategic goals."
Uh, yes. Isn't that what most of us have been saying all along?
Any chance the board will take *that* into advisement and re-consider (again) its flip-flop on MI? Nah ... who needs a strategic plan. Biggest check and best threat letter wins.
Yes, enrollment was discussed starting at 10pm, after dealing with mandatory budget approval and other business. No surprises there -- the board will wait until fall to see how enrollment is actually shaping up. The only motion made (and passed) was to not change any boundaries for now.
Posted by Not healing yet, a resident of the Barron Park neighborhood, 17 hours ago
Healing is only possible if people want healing to take place. If people enjoy the excitement and stimulation of feuding, then they'll keep the hostilities and finger-pointing on the front burner. If this dysfunctional district is to work more harmoniously, then people will have to work at finding common ground and join together in things that can be agreed on. Obviously, there needs to be some changes, and the best present we could give the new superintendent is a positive attitude and serious effort to let go of grudges. That doesn't mean squelching frustrations, but it does mean not taking glee in how bad the bad stuff has been and instead focusing on what we want, not what we don't want. Positive language toward positive goals.
Posted by Ready for change, a resident of the Evergreen Park neighborhood, 8 hours ago
"If the Board were to forego serious efforts in these areas, we would anticipate significant
negative consequences (i.e., loss of long-tenured talent to other districts, continued, if not
escalated, hostility between the Board and the managers, loss of energy and commitment in support of high performance, loss of trust and rapport, and damage to the Board's credibility)."
oh, brother!
typical shrinking violet tactics - - called in some circles "let the holy words of the sacred consultant wash away our sins, even though we screwed up really, really bad". it's kinda like asking mama for a fifth chance.
so, our tax dollars went to hire a consultant to help dysfunctional administrators and a few elected board members learn how to "play nice" and "clean up their mess"? how quaint
some advice for the new sup:
1 - clean house! if you don't, you'll find out really, really fast why you shuold have - - start over with people your employees can trust, instead of trying to repair years of conscious insensitivity
neither you, or site admins and teachers who have been stonewalled for years by the likes of Cook and Bowers should not have say goodbye and start over with your own management team - otherwise spend the first two years of this assignment picking cleaning up a mess not of your own making
some advice to the community:
1 - replace Camille Townsend. she fought positive changes right down to the wire, and continues to be a loose cannon - - I have yet to see a more ineffective board chair
Posted by out with the old, in with the new, a resident of the Greenmeadow neighborhood, 8 hours ago
Seems unlikely that meaningful change could happen at Churchill without taking a good hard look at the competence and mangement style or some of the administrators, and removing them as appropriate (and I think many people agree that removing one or two them WOULD be appropriate -- they have forgotten they are public employees and that the district is not their own private playground), and taking a good hard look at the patterns that have gotten us here. As I tell my children, "Saying you're sorryu and promising to change your behavior doesn't cut it. I want to SEE the change. I want to EXPERIENCE the change. No change in behavior = no change in attitude. No change in attitude = consequences."
My kids are only in elementary school and even they get this. We wouldn't even have needed a consultant if the Board had listened to the deep problems in the first place and taken respoinsibility for being something more than a rubber stamp for the Superintendent's recommendations for the past however many years.
The reason people get mad and then bring up old wrongs is that at so many levels, behavior never changes. While nice talk and respectful tone are important, they are the beginning, not the solution. Without consequences, no one changes. Being held to account is pretty standard in adult work situations. It should be in the District as well. The best thing Mr. Skelly could do is take the time early on to examine each administrator and manger's work and performance closely, and not let the clock start ticking all over again on receiving consequences for their blatant and offensive attitude of entitlement.
Posted by natasha, a resident of the Meadow Park neighborhood, 7 hours ago
natasha is correct. What we have had for years is power-tripping attitude from a few senior administrators. Where is the accountability, and where are the consequences? Gee, an expensive consultant's report is their life-raft? We deserve better people for our tax dollars. (I just read the report; it's full of nothing but common organizational sense, pasted over with 1980's-type edu-speak...sheesh!)
I'm gonna work hard against Townsend this fall, as are my friends. As for the senior administrators that are left, if the new superintendent keeps them on, knowing what he probably already knows by now, it will be a warning about his management style and approach. Cook and Bowers should be replaced, as they were long aware of these problems, with even more problems festering in the teacher corps (that this so-called "solutions report" doesn't even address. Scott and Bowers can be very quiet and comforming when they need to be; I wonder if the new superintendent will see through that.
Posted by Jim, a resident of the Greenmeadow neighborhood, 5 hours ago
I meant "Cook and Bowers can be very quiet and comforming when they need to be; I wonder if the new superintendent will see through that."
Posted by Jim, a resident of the Greenmeadow neighborhood, 5 hours ago
I'll join you in the campaign, Jim! If I hear one more time from an administrator about how we should forgive and forget, when *nothing has changed from the situation that made everyone furious in the first place*, I will just go crazy. When people who behave like the district or the school is their personal feifdom, someone needs to step up who is not afraid to say that's wrong and stop the behavior.
Posted by natasha, a resident of the Meadow Park neighborhood, 5 hours ago
Finally had time to catch up on my papers today.
Quoting from the Palo Alto Daily's report on the Consultants - Web Link
"Managers told the consultants they're sometimes frustrated by board members' oversensitivity to community concerns and tendency to supplement staff reports with their own independent research.
"Some focus group members felt that the latest wave of community e-mail carried more weight than the cumulative wisdom of internal educational experts," the report stated.
Board Member Mandy Lowell said she frequently gathers additional information from the community's local experts, including those at Stanford University.
"None of that is a substitute for the educational professionals," Lowell said. "Maybe I need to do a better job of conveying that I'm not trying to duplicate their work."
Ummm...since when does an elected Board member being sensitive to the community's concerns mean 'bad'? They are supposed to set policy based on what we, the taxpayers, elected them to do to keep our tax dollars flowing in. They are supposed to hold our District accountable, and we are to hold our Board accountable.
This implies that the Staff believe they should have free rein to do with our tax dollars whatever they see fit. They don't believe their job is to advise on best educational research and strategies,and the ELECTED Board's job is to set policy on how best to prioritize and implement their recommendations.
And, do the managers who feel that the community e-mails carried more weight than their "cumulative wisdom" STILL not understand that very little of the "latest wave of e-mails" had anything to do with disagreeing with their "cumulative wisdom" that immersion is the best way to learn a language?
Do they still think that this was an argument over whether or not immersion is good? If this is an accurate reflection of their views, then it shows a complete disconnect between what they believe/understood and what was reality. Or, maybe they did, but their arrogance makes them believe that they are right about not only good educational practice, but about the way to implement and prioritize in a District. In other words, it looks like they believe that the rest of us are too stupid to understand what is "good for us", and why bother having a Board?
Lastly, did it occur to any of them to wonder why so many others feel a need to do outside research? It may be because the research we get is one sided and incomplete, with foregone conclusions well known before the report is even begun. No need to go into it all now, but in my opinion we never got a full, honest, multi-sided report on anything big in our District in the last year. Reports were circumscribed from the outset, with little critical thinking through sourced pros-cons of many options so the Board could decide how to proceed, and obvious critical contributors left off reports, from the AAAG report, to the Feasibility Study, to the Charter vs. Choice Report.
THAT is why there is so much research going on outside of Staff's.
Look inside yourself when you think others are "taking" your job..maybe they are filling a vacuum.

There's a news story up. Web Link
Nothing decided, but apparently lots to think about.

Resident to the 10th power -- I agree with you completely. This attitude, which thy didn't even appear to try to conceal or modify for the benefit of the consultant, is the reason Mr. Skelly will have his work cut out for him weeding out the problem administrators so they will not continue to corrode the environment in the district.

And so, my fellow community members, ask not what your community leaders can do for you; ask what you can do for your community leaders.

Dear Sir,
I send, with this, a letter received yesterday from Mr Silloway and have written him as follows: "The number of copies of the perspective which we thought best to have printed, when we were last together, was 400. Should more be wanted they can be ordered hereafter. I will write to Mr Marsh, who is now in Burlington, and request him to communicate with you, when he shall receive a copy of the lithograph; and with regard to the order for the payment of Mr Bufford, it is proper, I think, that it should come from the Auditor and had better be deferred until the meeting of the legislature."-------------------------------- Page --------------------------------
I do not recollect what was said about the manner of distributing the pictures. I told Mr Silloway that I would see that the Governor was supplied if his quota should be sent to me, but would it not be best to have Mr S. send or take the mass of them to Montpelier?
I do not comprehend what is meant about passing judgement on the picture but whatever is requisite to be done in that behalf I wish you to do, for there is no time for conference, and in the mean time make any suggestions to Mr Silloway which you think his letter to me may require.
Yours, truly,Norman Williams note:Hon Geo P. Marsh.

An anonymous
hacker posted a threat to the Full Disclosure security mailing list on
Saturday, claiming that he/she planned to break into wind turbine systems as
revenge for an "illegitimate firing" from Florida Power &
The hacker's
name attached to the post was "Bgr R," and the person is a former
employee at Florida Power & Light. According to an e-mail
interview with Bgr R, he (or she) found a weak spot in the Cisco security
management software used at Florida Power & Light. This vulnerability was
used to hack into the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems,
which control the turbines.
Bgr R even
posted screen shots of this access to the security management systems and
control systems at the 136-turbine Fort Sumner wind farm, which is 170 miles
northeast of Alberquerque, New Mexico. In particular, the screenshots showed
the management interface of the Wind Turbines, which is Siemens software called
WinCCC, and an FTP server along with a company project management system. Web
server header information and configuration data can be seen from a Cisco
router as well.
With this
control, Bgr R could have shut down the 200-megawatt facility or damaged its
hardware. Bgr R's intention was to embarrass Florida Power & Light, and to
show people "how they really work on SCADA security."
comes my
revenge for illegitimate firing from Florida Power & Light
Company...ain't nothing you can do with it, since your electricity is turned
off!!!" said Bgr R in the post.
The debate was
whether this was a hoax or a serious security breach, but according to Wesley
McGrew from McGrew Security, the threat seemed viable.
"My best
guess is that it's legit, and this guy will probably be picked up pretty quick
if it's really a disgruntled employee," said McGrew. "The whole thing
looks like just a grab bag of stuff he had access to."
But now,
NextEra Energy Resources, which manages the Fort Sumner wind facility and is a
subsidiary of NextEra Energy (the parent company of Florida Power &
Light), has reported that there is no
evidence of a hack in the security or controls system.
"We have
investigated the claims of a potential computer hacking and found that the
information provided as proof of hacking is largely publicly available
information, which by itself would not be adequate to launch a
successful attack against the named SCADA system or wind site,"
said Steve Stengel, a spokesman for NextEra Energy Resources. "We have not
seen any evidence of a breach."
Now security
experts are wondering if Bgr R was ever really an employee at all, or if the
threat will ever come to fruition.
just really difficult to establish what's going on either way," said
Regardless of
whether the post was a hoax or not, system security is the topic at hand, and
some experts question the security measures used in these particular systems.
For instance, the router information showed that one of the company passwords
was "cisco."
According to
John Cusimano, director at the Security Incidents Organization, 10 to 15
percent of all industrial security computer incidents occur due to insiders
seeking revenge.

NEWS RELEASE from the office of State Senator Judith Zaffirini
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 28, 2010 Contact: Will Krueger(512) 463-0121
(AUSTIN)—Senator Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, reminded Texans that beginning June 1 (Tuesday) failure to secure a child in a booster seat will be a prosecutable offense. The change is a result of Senate Bill (SB) 61 (2009) by Senator Zaffirini, which requires that a child younger than 8 be secured in a child passenger safety seat, unless the child is taller than four feet, nine inches.
"Each year more than 1,600 children die in vehicular accidents, which is the leading cause of unintentional, injury-related death among children 14 years and younger," Senator Zaffirini said. "Research demonstrates overwhelmingly that booster seats save lives."
SB 61, which went into effect on Sept. 1, is expected to reduce by 59 percent children's risk of serious head, spinal cord or internal organ injuries.
Law enforcement officers have been issuing warnings to violators since September, but beginning June 1, violations will result in a $25 fine for a first offense and up to $250 for subsequent violations.
"Drivers have additional responsibility when they are carrying our most precious cargo," Senator Zaffirini said. "Fining violators will raise awareness and discourage unsafe habits. What's more, the funds generated by the citations will help the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) provide booster seats to low-income families.
"It is my prayer that no child dies or is injured because he or she was not secured properly in a moving vehicle."
Many local police and fire departments will check car seats free to ensure that they are installed properly. Additional information regarding booster seat requirements can be obtained via http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/director_staff/public_information/carseat.htm.

The Moldovan Embassy in Kyiv has confirmed that Ukrainian authorities have detained Moldovan citizen Semion Niculin on suspicion of espionage.
The "Kommersant-Ukraine" newspaper reported on August 7 that the Ukrainian special services detained Niculin, a citizen of Moldova and a former employee of state news agency Moldpres, in Odesa on April 13.
He is now reportedly being detained in Kyiv.
The Moldovan Embassy said negotiations were being conducted with the Ukrainian authorities to free Niculin.
At the time of his detention, Niculin, 38, worked for the press center of the Unified Control Commission, a three-party body directing the peacekeeping operation in Moldova's separatist region of Transdniester.
Moldovan media reports say Niculin was arrested while attempting to obtain secret documents from a Ukrainian citizen in Odesa.
No further details were immediately available.

Ammar Khaku, E12, wanted to find a way to visually represent where his classmates would be after graduation. When he couldn't find a tool that did that well, he decided to build Tufts2012.com. He says, "The concept started off as a simple map with markers, but I added more features before it launched."
He hopes that the site will be a resource for members of the class of 2012 to find other people in their area, and will create an interesting accumulation of statistics about the class. In the future, he plans to add optional information about what company people are working for or what they're doing in the area, as well as restricting access to Tufts students and alumni. If the site takes off, he has even more plans including possible LinkedIn integration. He says, "I'm also taking feature requests, so let me know if there's something you think would be cool!"
As for Ammar, his pin on the map is placed in Redwood City, California, where he'll be working at Evernote next year.

Big Leaguers Notebook: Sept. 15
Father of Marlins' Dominiguez pens column on son's callup
Los Angeles Times copy editor Fernando Dominguez shared exactly what it was like for a proud father to watch his son, Marlins callup Matt Dominguez, fulfill a dream in his Major League debut. (Los Angeles Times)
The fans have spoken, and David Robertson, Paul Konerko, Michael Young, David Wright, Adam Wainwright and Troy Tulowitzki have been honored as this year's finalists for the Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award. From raising relief funds for tornado victims and helping abused foster children to supporting sick kids and providing cancer survivors with college scholarships, these All-Stars are playing with heart on and off the field. (MLB.com)
It may still be September, but big league rookies on the Blue Jays (Twitter), the Nationals (The Washington Post), the Rays (St. Petersburg Times) and the Angels (Facebook) are already breaking out their Halloween costumes.
Searching for the perfect dance beats or guitar riffs for the walk to the plate? Mets utilityman and "at-bat-music-consultant-in-chief" Willie Harris has his teammates covered with a 6,000-song iTunes library and a hidden talent for suggesting songs. (The Wall Street Journal). Get pumped up with all the Mets' and Yankees' at-bat tunes, from Brett Gardner's Jason Aldean track to Harris' pick for Jose Reyes: Jay-Z and Kanye West's song of the moment "Otis." (The Wall Street Journal)
Thanks to local company CC Carpet and a grand slam bomb from Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton, Dallas-area homeowners are receiving over $500,000 in countertops and flooring for free. (ESPN Dallas)
Rays pitcher James Shields wanted to give fans an idea of "what September baseball is all about" for a Major League player, so he wrote "September Nights," a book chronicling the Rays' 2010 season and featuring a foreword by teammate David Price. (St. Petersburg Times)
The Indians don't even need an outfield wall when they've got fielders like Shelley Duncan (MLB), who assured Rangers hitters on Wednesday that the warning track means "Warning. I will rob you of every double you hit here." (MLB.com)
David Ortiz showed off his pipes with a 'good morning' serenade for "Good Morning America." (abcnews.com)
Tweet of the Day: "Tell me why I'm in a police car right now...missed the bus!! Haven't done that in years...I used to miss it on purpose! Miss first period" -- Rays left-hander David Price (@davidPRICE14). Maybe Price was running late because he forgot his Rays letterman sweater for the team's road trip theme. (St. Petersburg Times)
Quote of the Day: "If you want to be an agent of change, it starts with you and what you're made of." -- Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie, who has kept his sunny attitude despite enduring a tough season. Guthrie found the quote in Michael J. Fox's memoir "Lucky Man", a birthday gift from his wife, and shared it with his fans on Twitter to "set a positive tone for the day." (The New York Times)

BobbieI would like to tell you the truth......you need a real sexual night with a man. No idea no story just a fucking multiorgasmic. Squirt. Fuck With hours of fucking. Eachother. Want to know more ?
The above persons assumption is totally without any reasonable logic .First and foremost we live in the liberated 21st century where women can express themselves without prejudice. Secondly we love sex as much as men do, so if I want to have it with other women or men I am free to say so and act like a total whore if I feel like it. We can act just like men and use four letter words, and why not? If we want to take the lead in fucking, men don't object to that bold approach and neither do girls. So get your facts right in future....
Nice i like this

I was afraid to get myself too hard looking at your beautiful and sexy body because I am just recovering from penile surgery. After I recover it would be a great pleasure to enjoy sex with your hot body. Cuming with and in your delightful pussy would be like making love to an almost perfect person. You have the potential of being a sexy ten after we fuck.

Will.i.am of rap/pop group the Black Eyed Peas, fresh off the White House Correspondents dinner last night, paid a visit to another political standby, NBC's "Meet the Press." Host David Gregory talked with the musician on topics including foreign policy, jobs and education.
"Meet the Press," the longest-running TV program in American history, has struggled with ratings under Gregory. The show was dealt another blow with a Washington Post article about NBC's hiring of a "psychological consultant" to interview Gregory's wife and friends. More recently, one of the show's producers, Chris Donovan, quit to work for ABC rival "This Week."
Speakeasy reached out to NBC for comment.
Will.i.am, who at one point described himself "as a world traveler," appeared oddly placed among the roundtable of panelists, including the Washington Post's Kathleen Parker and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who discussed Benghazi and foreign policy.
In another segment, Will.i.am said, "Why can't we as a country keep all the jobs that are around technology in America? I don't get it."
