The clock was ticking down as Bayside's Madeline Zambri got her foot on the ball during a scramble in the box and sent it toward the net. She immediately panicked and felt it was going wide.
"I thought I missed," Zambri said. "I saw a white jersey and just saw the goal in front. I swore I missed it."
It couldn't have been further from the truth.
Instead, the freshman's shot found the back of the net with just 15 seconds left in the contest to give unbeaten Bayside a thrilling 1-0 win over host and rival Cardozo in PSAL Queens A-V girls' soccer last Thursday. It was the second heart-breaking loss it handed the Judges this season after the Commodores won the first meeting 2-1 in overtime.
"I thought it was a very high level high school game," Cardozo Coach Tim Demirayak said. "Our team played very well. Bayside is one of the top teams in the city and we competed evenly with them for almost the entire match."
The defenses kept scoring to a minimum. Throughout the first half, Cardozo put offensive pressure on Bayside, registering eight straight minutes in opposition territory, but the Commodores' defense held strong.
"I'm a firm believer that offense scores all the points, but defense wins championships," Bayside Coach Maggie Kassimis said. "I think we did a great job to hold them off in some shaky moments."
Bayside appeared to be a different team in the second half, going on the offensive and keeping pressure on the Judges. It ultimately resulted in the late goal-scoring opportunity.
"I lit a fire underneath them," Kassimis said of her halftime speech to her team that had grown confident over the season. "I think that they played so well this year that sometimes winning can get the best of you."
For Cardozo the play of sweeper Kelly Bouzi was critical to keeping Bayside off the board for the majority of the game.
"Kelly Bouzi is one of the best sweepers in the city," Demirayak said. "She's been a starter for four years and she holds down the fort for us."
Cardozo goalie Rebecca Fakas also made three spectacular saves as time ran down late in the game, but Zambri's shot snuck by her. It left the Judges shocked and dejected and Bayside elated as their undefeated season rolls on.
"I told them that Cardozo is a great team and this is their house and they're not going to give it to you," Kassimis said. "You have to go earn it."

text: I have two 8' latex meteorological balloons on the way - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330370803471 After ordering, it occurred to me that my simple idea for stopping ascent below burst-height (a pressure-relief valve) wouldn't work on these anyway since they're stretchy, so the pressure inside is always going to be substantially higher than outside, and the difference will probably vary with altitude. Which leaves open the question of what else we'd like to consider doing with our first launch? The standard equipment is a camera, gps, and radio transceiver, but we can aim higher than that - I think the FAA plain doesn't care what we do up to about 6 pounds (maybe 4?) but with two balloons, we can loft significantly more (perhaps with extra paperwork?). A model rocket should be doable either way (maybe we'd need three balloons to make a stable launch platform?) - and putting the camera on the model rocket pointing downwards to watch the launcher fall behind with earth curvature in the background would make for fantastic youtube :) Other ideas? m. PS: for those who were interested in learning hardware/electronics/arduino, a neat initial project would be to build a pressure sensor that would ultimately feed into the balloon controls. You can get samples of the sensor itself for free from freescale - http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?nodeId=01126990368716 - and they're very easy to interface to an arduino (or anything else, really).

Rosie O'Donnell has decided not to invite her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter to her upcoming wedding, because she is adamant the former couple should lead "separate lives."
The pair wed in 2004 but Carpenter moved out of their home in 2007, with O'Donnell announcing their split in 2010.
They share four children and remain on good terms, but the chat show host believes they should keep their private lives separate and O'Donnell is not planning to invite her when she weds new partner Michelle Rounds.
She tells CNN's Piers Morgan, "(I get along with her) really well. She's happy and with a lovely women, a singer from New York. (But) I think it's good we have separate lives. When she has the children, I try not to call and when I have the children she tries to do that same thing, and I don't know if would feel right for either of us (for her to be at the wedding) and the same when she and (her partner) Anne get married, I don't think it would be right for me to be there. But I love her, I will always love her."

Nice to 'meet' you
Amanda Pena | Wednesday, March 6, 2013
It is human nature to make immediate judgments about the people you first meet. You draw from their exterior makeup to quickly decide what kind of person you are interacting with and whether your interaction should cease or continue. Are they smiling? "Yes, so they're probably friendly." Are they talkative? "Not really, so they might just be shy." However, for minority students there can sometimes be a level of uncertainty and heightened awareness during these introductions. This is especially true at Notre Dame.
To clarify, I am not suggesting all minority students always have uncomfortable encounters; many have formed diverse friend groups and relationships in the Notre Dame community, including myself. But minus the brown sugar, my churro-colored skin tone (no Mexican pun intended), curves and thick black hair make it challenging to blend in among most of my peers. Surprisingly, though, that isn't what makes me feel like a minority sometimes.
My upbringing in southeastern Los Angeles exposed me to a world of gangs, drugs and low-skilled, low-wage jobs. Yet here I am, a member of the Fighting Irish at the prestigious University of Notre Dame. Back home they're cheering for me; they're living vicariously through me and placing the pressures of paving the way for Latinos on me. But I don't think there are many students here who know that about me, largely because few people have taken the time to get to know me and understand the challenges and pressures that have shaped my identity.
Two weekends ago at a party, I was approached by a male Caucasian student and asked, "Are you Asian?" Asian? I never heard that one before. He justified his question by pointing out how my eyeliner made my eyes appear "squinted."
After telling him "no," he said, "Well you must be Thai, right?" Again I told him "no."
"Then what are you?" he inquired. I am numb to that question now – I am asked this often – so it wasn't difficult to respond, "I'm Mexican."
"Really," he excitedly announced. "So what part of Mexico are you from? You speak Spanish, right?"
"No, I don't, actually."
He proceeded by saying, "Well, that's weird. Are your parents immigrants? Or how did you get here?" I then explained to him my grandparents immigrated here and my parents were the first of their siblings to be born in the United States.
"Are they still illegal then?" he asked.
"No, they earned their citizenship shortly after immigrating." I replied.
"Oh, cool. Well it was nice to meet you, Amanda" he replied before leaving to join a circle of other students.
Nice to meet me? How did he meet me? He knows nothing about me. He doesn't know I wasn't taught Spanish because my oldest sister's learning disability prevented her from learning both English and Spanish. He didn't know I don't identify heavily with my Mexican heritage because my family is very Americanized. He never asked what my major was, what I like to do in my spare time or what dorm I live in. He made ethnic assumptions about me after I explained where the brown tint of my skin color came from, and sadly he isn't the first person to have asked me, my friends or other students questions like these. Frequent conversations with students of color have proven this.
For what it's worth, I know this guy did not have any ill intentions about this conversation. Most people might not even think it was that big of a deal. In fact, I didn't think it was at first until I had a chance to reflect on it. It's just such an awkward and unexpected thing; you choose to just roll with the punches instead of assessing the ignorance of the situation. The aftermath of a conversation like this, though, can usually evoke a series of introspective questions and feelings of self-consciousness about why you can't seem to make genuine connections with your peers. My first thought has never been,"Maybe it's because I'm Mexican." It's usually, "Do I talk too much? Am I that boring? Maybe I should have gone with the heels."
It's really hard to understand why I can't fit in with the rest of this "family" Notre Dame is glorified as being, but when people ask me for guacamole recipes or make jokes about why I pick up the litter someone else left behind, it's easier to blame this discomfort on ignorance and cultural insensitivity. Most people here have seldom taken the time to learn more about me, so I tend to embrace the role as their token Mexican friend. I am hopeful, however, that the Notre Dame community will come to appreciate the individuality of each of its students – minority or not.

J/A+A/425/509 VI photometry of NGC 6397 (Andreuzzi+, 2004)
VLT FORS-1 observations of NGC 6397: Evidence for mass segregation. Andreuzzi G., Testa V., Marconi G., Alcaino G., Alvarado F., Buonanno R. <Astron. Astrophys., 425, 509-518 (2004)> =2004A&A...425..509A (SIMBAD/NED BibCode)
ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular ; Photometry Keywords: Galaxy: globular clusters: individual: NGC 6397 - stars: low-mass - stars: luminosity function, mass function Description: We used VLT-FORS1 data to obtain photometry for stars located within 10 arcmin from the center of the cluster NGC 6397. The data taken in service mode in 1999 (field2, RA=17 41 03.5, DE=-53 45 36) and in 2000 (field1, RA=17 41 14.3, DE=-53 44 27.6) were retrieved electronically from the ESO-STECF archive (proposals: 63.H-0721(A) and 65.H-0531(B)). The resulting V, V-I photometry reachs a limiting magnitude of V∼27. As our fields were affected by a large number of saturated stars and, as the photometric procedures can include those peaks in the final photometric catalogue, we decided to eliminate from the catalogue the spurious identifications before performing the data analysis. In this way, a total of 15081 and 11161 objects were detected, respectively, in the fields f1 and f2. We used the 7059 objects in common between these two fields to optimize our photometry by computing a weighted average between the values of the magnitudes of a given star in each catalogue and to transform the frame coordinates to a common coordinate system referred to the field f2. At the end of this procedure an homogeneous set of instrumental magnitudes, color and position were obtained for a total of 19228 objects.

|[en] Changes in pulmonary endothelial permeability and in microvascular hemodynamics in response to capsaicin (10(-4) M) were investigated in isolated, perfused rabbit lungs. Blood-free perfusate was recirculated through ventilated lungs in an isogravimetric state, under zone III conditions with a constant flow. Using the occlusions method, the total pressure gradient between the arterial and the venous levels (delta Pt) was partitioned into four components: arterial (delta Pa), pre-(delta Pa') and post-(delta Pv') capillary, and venous (delta Pv). The capillary filtration coefficient (Kf,c) was evaluated by measuring the amount of fluid filtering through the endothelium when arterial and venous pressures were suddenly increased. Capsaicin caused no changes in the vascular pressures at any level of the pulmonary circulation but induced a significant 3-fold increase in the Kf,c (P < 0.05). This reaction was accompanied by pulmonary oedema. The mechanisms involved in the permeability changes were investigated by testing the capacity of different drugs to block the response to capsaicin. Clonidine (10(-7) M to 10(-5) M), morphine (10(-6) M), aspirin (10(-3) M), ketanserin (10(-8) M) and (+/)- CP 96,345 (10(-6) M), an antagonist of neurokinin NK1 receptor, completely prevented the effects of capsaicin on the Kf,c. In contrast, terfenadine (10(-7)) together with cimetidine (10(-5) M) had no protective effect against capsaicin. It was concluded that capsaicin-induced pulmonary oedema was due to an increase in the capillary filtration coefficient and not to hemodynamic changes. This alteration in the endothelium permeability is mediated by the release of endogenous peptides from C-fibers upon the action of capsaicin and subsequent activation of NK1 receptors, probably by substance P. Moreover, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors and arachidonic acid derivates are also involved in this reaction

Cost and limited reserves of conventional fossil fuels have intensified the search for alternative fuels for use in internal combustion engines. A possible alternative engine fuel is vegetable oil because it is a clean burning, renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally friendly transportation fuel. It can be used in a neat form without any modification of the engine. Vegetable oils are produced... Read more.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a week away? It's nearing the end of November, and there is so much to do in my garden before winter really does set in. The leaves are very nearly all off of my trees and spread all over my driveway and in and around my garden. Then the pouring rain made sure to pound the leaves into clumps and mats on my smaller conifers – in some cases completely burying them in wet leaves. Thankfully today, though dark gray with clouds, is dryer than yesterday so I should be able to uncover my little treasures setting them free to breathe again.
All it takes is a little time, energy and finesse to delicately remove the offending fallen leaves in such a way as not to break any little branches on my miniature conifers. I can usually pull the leaves off of my larger plants or even give them a brisk shake to set them free from the invading maple, birch, dogwood or other leaves that just days ago were providing a wondrous display of color. By next spring these leaves will be well on their way to becoming compost to spread in the garden next summer.
Juniperus horizontalis 'Gold Strike' is one of my newer conifer additions this year. Like its parent, 'Mother Lode,' 'Gold Strike' is an absolutely striking, bright golden yellow color. This time of year I need all the bright sunny color I can get, and 'Gold Strike' is one of the best yellow groundcovers you will find for the garden. Pulling away the fallen leaves from this plant was like opening the draperies on a sunny summer morning – its bright golden tones warmed me right up. It won't be too much longer though, and 'Gold Strike' will begin to change into its winter colors of pinkish plum, orange and gold.
One of the beauties of conifers is their year-round appeal – the fact that they provide color and structure and texture in the garden all year long with very little fuss. I love my conifers. I hope you love yours too.

At first glance, a roller coaster is something like a passenger train. It consists of a series of connected cars that move on tracks. But unlike a passenger train, a roller coaster has no engine or power source of its own. For most of the ride, the train is moved by gravity and momentum. To build up this momentum, you need to get the train to the top of the first hill (the lift hill) or give it a powerful launch.
Chain Lift
The traditional lifting mechanism is a long length of chain (or chains) running up the hill under the track. The chain is fastened in a loop, which is wound around a gear at the top of the hill and another one at the bottom of the hill. The gear at the bottom of the hill is turned by a simple motor.
This turns the chain loop so that it continually moves up the hill like a long conveyer belt. The coaster cars grip onto the chain with several chain dogs, sturdy hinged hooks. When the train rolls to the bottom of the hill, the dogs catches onto the chain links. Once the chain dog is hooked, the chain simply pulls the train to the top of the hill. At the summit, the chain dog is released and the train starts its descent down the hill.
Catapult-launch Lift
In some newer coaster designs, a catapult launch sets the train in motion. There are several sorts of catapult launches, but they all basically do the same thing. Instead of dragging the train up a hill to build up potential energy, these systems start the train off by building up a good amount of kinetic energy in a short amount of time.
One popular catapult system is the linear-induction motor. A linear-induction motor uses electromagnets to build two magnetic fields -- one on the track and one on the bottom of the train -- that are attracted to each other. The motor moves the magnetic field on the track, pulling the train along behind it at a high rate of speed. The main advantages of this system are its speed, efficiency, durability, precision and controllability.
Another popular system uses dozens of rotating wheels to launch the train up the lift hill. The wheels are arranged in two adjacent rows along the track. The wheels grip the bottom (or top) of the train between them, pushing the train forward.
The Brakes
Like any train, a roller coaster needs a brake system so it can stop precisely at the end of the ride or in an emergency. In roller coasters, the brakes aren't built into the train itself; they're built into the track.
This system is very simple. A series of clamps is positioned at the end of the track and at a few other braking points. A central computer operates a hydraulic system that closes these clamps when the train needs to stop. The clamps close in on vertical metal fins running under the train, and this friction gradually slows the train down.

"The expression 'Breakfast of Champions' is a registered trademark of General Mills, Inc. for use on a breakfast cereal product. The use of the identical expression as the title for Kurt Vonnegut's book is not intended to indicate an association with or sponsorship by General Mills, nor is it intended to disparage their fine products."General Mills is a food company based in Minneapolis, best known for its "Big G" cereals, which include Cheerios, Total, Lucky Charms and the Monster Cereals. Its animated cereal commercials featured characters from Rocky and Bullwinkle, Underdog (the company was the sole sponsor of their series) and Peanuts. Moreover, the "Big G" is perhaps best known for its highly memorable roster of cereal advertising mascots (usually named after the cereal they represent) such as Lucky the leprechaun, the Trix Rabbit and Count Chocula. Other characters include Buzz, the bee mascot of Honey Nut Cheerios, whom you may recognize his voice as another character with a big heart and small brain. General Mills also owns the Wheaties brand, best known for its Celebrity Endorsements. As such, most of their commercials tend to be story-driven and therefore have quite a few narrative tropes, though they're also very laden with Commercial Tropes. Fun Fact: They built Alvin, the mini-sub Dr. Robert Ballard used to discover the RMS Titanic. Yes, the same General Mills we've been talking about (built by the division that makes cereal-making machines). Another of the company's brands, Betty Crocker (mainly dedicated to baking products like Bisquick, as well as fruit snacks like Fruit Roll-Ups), was built upon in Homestuck. Other brands owned by the company include Yoplait (yogurt), Old El Paso (Mexican foods), Green Giant (vegetables), Helper (Hamburger and other "quick meal" varieties), Nature Valley and Fiber One (granola bars), Pillsbury (again, mainly baking products; back in the 70s when they were their own company, they also owned Burger King, and three toy companies: Kenner, Parker Bros. and Tonka, which were sold to Hasbro in 1991), Progresso (soups, beans and broths), Totino's (pizza products), and Gold Medal Flour.
— Preface, Breakfast of Champions
Tropes associated with General Mills:
- The Bus Came Back: Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy, who haven't been seen along with their cereals for three and two decades respectively, have returned during the 2013 Halloween season with Fruit Brute now renamed Frute Brute.
- Cereal Vice Reward
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Two examples.
- Cookie Crisp cereal, back when it was owned by Ralston, had in its early marketing campaigns a cop who chases after a bandit-masked thief and his bandit-masked dog. Eventually, by the time General Mills bought it, the thief vanished, followed promptly by the cop, leaving just the dog (still wearing his bandit mask, oddly enough). Now the dog has completely vanished, having been replaced by a wolf named Chip—ironically the same name as the dog that preceded him.
- Wendell the Baker used to have two other bakers named Bob and Quello/Quienno by some, but they disappeared for reasons unknown around the early '90s, and were never featured again. One popular theory is "Wendell ate them".
- Classical Movie Vampire: Count Chocula.
- Frankenstein's Monster: FrankenBerry.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Count Chocula.
- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Buzz the Honey Bee has a yellow and gold T-shirt and white shoes. Chip the Cookie Dog sported a turtleneck and burglar mask. Fruit Brute the werewolf had multicolor striped overalls. Sonny the Cuckoo Bird was originally naked, then had a striped sweatshirt, then went back to being naked again.
- Our Ghosts Are Different: Boo Berry.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Fruit Brute.
- Renamed the Same: Fruit Brute being renamed Frute Brute.
- Re Tool: Some cereal recipes for promoted cereals get reused for different licensed products down the line. A different version was used for the return of Fruit/Frute Brute - the original cereal was a citrus-flavored cereal. But as Yummy Mummy (which was also brought back) was the same flavor, Frute Brute was reimagined as a cherry/vanilla flavor.

Six Richter Paintings Push Sotheby's London Sale to $80 Million
Six paintings by Gerhard Richter sold last night at auction for a total of almost $30 million, confirming his status as the most bankable living artist, dealers said.
The German painter's works pushed the Sotheby's London contemporary-art sale to an $80 million total as investment- minded buyers were attracted by rising prices and a relatively plentiful supply of quality works.
Sellers of Richter, who was recently the subject of a retrospective at London's Tate Modern, have been encouraged by the performance of a group of eight abstracts at Sotheby's in New York on Nov. 9, which all sold above upper estimates.
"After the buzz of that collection, people were keen to cash in," said Heinrich zu Hohenlohe, director of the Berlin branch of the dealership Dickinson. "There's a lot of Richter out there, and the market seems able to absorb it. He produces paintings that appeal to every kind of taste and there are buyers coming in from all over the world. They think art is a good place to be at the moment."
Last night's top price was 4.9 million pounds ($7.7 million) with fees, paid for the 1992 "Abstraktes Bild (768-4)," featuring vertical waves of black and white paint. Fresh to the auction market, it was bought by Georgina Macpherson, head of Sotheby's (BID) London-based client services department, for a private telephone bidder against an upper estimate of 4 million pounds.
Frozen Seascape
The 1981 photorealist painting "Eis (Ice)," showing a desolate expanse of frozen seascape, was sold to Sotheby's London-based specialist Olivia Thornton, acting for another phone buyer, at 4.3 million pounds, a record for a landscape by the artist, the auction house said. All the Richters attracted multiple bids and their final total with fees was more than 7 million pounds more than the low estimate, based on hammer prices.
In last November's New York sale, a 1997 "Abstraktes Bild" in purple, red and blue was bought by the London-based collector Lily Safra for a record $20.8 million.
At last night's Sotheby's auction 57 of the 63 lots successfully found buyers. Still, it lacked any lots valued at more than 5 million pounds, unlike the equivalent 80.6 million- pound event at Christie's International (CHRS) the previous evening, where a 1994 Richter abstract sold for 9.9 million pounds.
Sotheby's total of 50.7 million pounds with fees was slightly above the high estimate of 48 million pounds. Buyers hailed from 20 different countries, the auction house said.
"If interest rates remain low, prices will keep rising," the Montreal-based collector Francois Odermatt said in an interview. "People aren't making any money on deposit and when there's a financial crisis, they want art assets. I just wish I'd bought Richter when they were more affordable."
Orange Basquiat
Five bidders contested the 1982 Jean-Michel Basquiat painting "Orange Sports Figure," before it was bought by Sotheby's New York-based specialist Scott Nussbaum, representing a client on the telephone, for 4.1 million pounds against an estimate of 3 million pounds to 4 million pounds.
The work, entered by a European collector, was of a prime date by the artist whose paintings are becoming increasingly scarce, dealers said.
Growing demand from Asia was underlined by the 1.8 million pounds and 1.6 million pounds respectively paid by telephone bidders for colorful 1990s abstract paintings by the Chinese artist Zao Wou-Ki. Both works sold for double their high estimates.
Freud Interest
Sellers were also keen to benefit from the interest in Lucian Freud generated by the current exhibition at the London National Portrait Gallery and accompanying dealer shows.
Five drawings and a painting by the artist, who died last year, were included in the sale, ranging in value from a low estimate of 100,000 pounds for a 1983 drawing of horse's head to an upper valuation of 2 million pounds for a 1955 head-and- shoulders portrait of a man.
The painting failed to sell, and a top price of 735,650 pounds was instead paid by the London dealer Matthew Green for a 1985 charcoal portrait of the lawyer Lord Goodman. This had been estimated at 400,000 to 600,000 pounds.
"Freud is more of a local market than Richter and the market can't absorb as much material," zu Hohenlohe said.

Yesterday, I was going through the NGS conference booklet and noticed they are including about 10 sessions per day centered on gentech tools or issues - even some from RootsTech. Most of them are the exact same beginner user level that we witnessed at RootsTech. In my opinion, that means RootsTech needs to take this up a notch! If we are going to repeat a lot of the basic sessions at the main conferences, RootsTech should teach us on the next tech level, as well as foster developer/user dialogu. I LOVE the idea of the cheat sheet - know before you go - idea! And thanks for counting the types of session! That was very enlightening!

Great Post AND it was nice to meet and spend time around RootsTech with you and the other GeneaBloggers.

Having only been to a few genealogy conferences, I found that some of the User presentations could be seen at the other genealogy conferences. Like you, I was looking for the Tech Toys that will help with my research. Yes, there were some, but not as many as I had expected.

For me, the real disappointment was the lack of more User/Developer interaction sessions. Yes, there were some, but the descriptions of some were way over my head.

I found that I spent a little more time in the exhibit hall talking to the venders, and using that at the developer / user interaction.

The real question for me, is will I go again next year.

Because each submitter had to choose, some had different ideas about what level they were really teaching. Maybe RootsTech should put in some extra effort in labeling them to be sure everyone is judging their level similarly.

Maybe they need a category between the two - something for users who are advanced and want to learn a little developing without going over the top and scaring users away, as developer sessions sometimes do.

Also, I'd love to see some blog posts about what people want to learn next year before the call for papers is closed. Some of us could probably teach advanced user levels, but don't know what the rest of you users want to learn. ;-)Banai Lynn Feldsteinhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369788996101277242.post-63689513353929992622012-02-10T09:50:38.139-05:002012-02-10T09:50:38.139-05:00Linda, I could tell from the schedule and syllabi ...Linda, I could tell from the schedule and syllabi before it started that many of the user sessions were not going to be advanced enough for me before I even attended RootsTech. Therefore, I wasn't disappointed. Of course, my plans for sessions were hijacked anyway [for absolute FAN-tabulous reasons], so it really didn't matter anyway.

I'll be posting on my blog in a couple of days some ideas that I think they should incorporate into next year's RootsTech to make the experience better for all levels of researchers. My ideas are a little outside the box, but that's exactly what this conference is supposed to be, right?

I think they've already beaten the other conferences in atmosphere and intent ~ extremely welcoming and the focus on technology is awesome. Just think the sessions need a little tweaking.

I agree with everything you said and what Jenna expressed on her blog. Then I'll link to this post and to Jenna's post from mine because I think y'all have some great ideas.

That really wasn't what I meant at all. Was just thinking of a way to get people actually up to beginner level to start - not saying "you must know these things," instead saying "here are some things to help prepare you to get the most out of the conference." There has to be a way to make RootsTech beginner friendly (which is really seemed to be) but also make it valuable to more advanced users. The advanced users were the ones left out this time.Linda McCauleyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369788996101277242.post-31901849293264192872012-02-09T23:24:59.861-05:002012-02-09T23:24:59.861-05:00I have to disagree (sorry!).

They learned a lot and there was great value in their attendance. They'd have never gone if they had to be intermediate level prior to attending. The "What you should know before you go" would have eliminated them. They benefited greatly from their attendance so the patrons and staff will now benefit from what they learned and experienced.

FSF blogs
Coreboot-supported Asus F2A85-M/CSM added to recommended hardware list
The FSF has updated its list of Recommended Complete Systems to include the Asus F2A85-M/CSM.
GNU is growing, and we need your help
This year, the GNU System celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. We're asking free software supporters to donate $30 to further GNU's development.
Ask Reddit to upvote user freedom by serving no nonfree JavaScript
Reddit is a major Internet hub that's home to lots of awesome communities, and it's always been very supportive of computer user freedom. In 2008, its admins took the admirable step of freeing the vast majority of its codebase, which was a significant contribution to the free software world. We're appreciative of Reddit's role in free software, as well as its contributions to humanity in the form of cat pictures side-by-side with high-brow political discourse. That's why we think that it would be fitting for Reddit to take the next step in its free software journey, by updating its site to run without any nonfree JavaScript.
LibrePlanet for all!
I can't even tell you how excited I am for LibrePlanet 2014 on March 22 and 23, 2014, which is fast approaching! Right now, the rest of the FSF staff and I are working hard on the program for our annual conference so that in the next few weeks we'll be able to share our amazing roster of speakers with you.

Upcoming changes for Ututo
Update: This story originally stated that Ututo was coming to an end. This was wrong. We misunderstood an announcement about a change of lead maintainers and thought that the project was shutting down. Ututo is still an actively maintained GNU/Linux distro.

One of my action items from the F2F was to flesh out as an issue something that I mentioned in general terms at the meeting but which was not discussed. The essence of that issue would be that the current WS-Arch does not satisfy requrement http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-wsa-reqs-20021114#AC017, "The WSA must satisfy the requirements of enterprises wishing to transition from traditional EDI". Another way to view this issue might be as a response to the chair's request to consider the subject of reliability in the context of models other than the messaging model. After some thought, I decided that the best way to proceed would be to draft an EDI Stakeholder Perspective that might be responsive to this issue. If this can be incorporated in the document after being suitably worked over, that would be fine. Otherwise I think that the following draft can serve as support to define an issue that I would submit in the usual way for possible later consideration. Here is draft text for an EDI Stakeholder's Perspective. Note that there are, as generally characterizes a stakeholder perspective, elements drawn from multiple models. I have tried to call these out explicitly where possible. *********** One of the basic assumptions that many people make about the role of Web services is that they will be used for functions similar to those presently provided by traditional EDI. Since EDI is a well established technology it is useful to examine the expectations that current EDI users may have for a technology that is to be used as a replacement. That is, what do they do now that they will also expect from a new technology? The most basic of these expectations concern security, message reliability and a function which does not have a well accepted name but which we will here call "tracking". Security and message reliability are treated in other sections of this document, so the discussion here will focus on tracking. The issue here is what happens when a transaction goes awry for reasons other than the loss of a message or security violations. Although it is possible, and useful, to automate safeguards both at the protocol and application level, experience indicates that there is a virtually limitless variety of ways that business transactions can fail. Informal interviews with current EDI practitioners have indicated that in practice the 80-20 of what EDI people actually do is involved with the issue of finding out what has actually happened in transactions about which the business partners may initially have a different view of the situation. For example, such an interaction may start with a phone call that goes something like, "Why haven't you paid us?" and continues, "We think we have paid you". In these cases there is often a good faith desire on both sides to figure out what has happened and comply with the requirements of the transaction, but the information that people are working with may differ and coming to a common understanding can take some work. In current EDI operations many of the questions that must be answered in these cases can be handled in an automated fashion by the vendor of the proprietary network used in the transactions. In a Web services scenario, where the transactions take place in a distributed environment, with no central authority, between business partners that may use different application platforms, some sort of uniform query interface must replace the current automated queries to the EDI vendor or the tracking capability will essentially be lost. The basic requirement here is for companies that are cooperating in a business transaction to find out at any time what the status of the transaction is and what has happened in the past related to that transaction. A significant complexity is added by the fact that multiple companies may be involved. That is, company A may initiate a transaction by sending a message to B, but the process may then involve messages between B and C. In some cases the interactions between B and C may be known to A (as opposed to being part of an internal process in B that is opaque to A). It is not immediately clear whether this should be handled by A querying both B and C or if a responding to a query from A to B should carry with it the obligation to query C and return the results. This is presumably an issue which must be ironed out in the creation of the specification(s) for the uniform interface. As illustrations, here are some of the typical queries that A might send to B or C: 1 - Did B receive and process message M from A? 2 - Return from B copies of all messages associated with Transaction T. 3 - Return from B copies of all messages between A and B in a given time range. 4 - Return from C all messages associated with a transactions involving A during a given time frame (including messages between B and C related to transactions in which A is involved). Or ... 5 - Return from B copies of messages between B and other companies involved with a transaction (or all transactions in a date range). In all cases it is also necessary to answer the question, "Is A authorized to receive this information"? Current EDI practices may automate some of these queries and others may involve hand processing. In general, however, there are significant cost savings to be realized by automating as many such queries as possible. In order to do so there are various requirements, some of which are probably achievable using current or planned specifications and others of which may require new ones: 1 - A uniform, interoperable interface for the queries so that company A may send a standard query to all its business partners. This interface should be associated with the functional Web services interfaces in much the same way as the management interface. In fact, such an interface might be implemented as part of the management interface itself, although current discussions of the management interface are focused more on quality of service issues. 2 - Standard identifiers for transactions, individual messages, and so on necessary to define the queries. Note that some of these queries involve identifiers of participants in a transaction other than sender and receiver of a particular message. There are clearly aspects of this requirement that are related to the choreography domain. 3 - Policies controlling whether A is authorized to make tracking queries to B. There may be several variants of such policies: e.g. A can query B about messages directly between A and B but not messages between B and C associated with transactions involving A and so on. It may be possible to establish these policies using mechanisms currently available or under development in the security or policy domain, or there may be transactional aspects to these policies that are not currently being considered. 4 - A method to establish the trust relationships necessary to implement the policies in 3.Received on Saturday, 8 November 2003 13:29:48 UTC

1 Package Yellow Cake Mix
1 Can 15 ounce size of Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) divided
½ Cup of Milk
1/3 Cup of vegetable oil
4 Large eggs
1.5 Teaspoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice ( made my own ) divided
For spice I took ¼ teaspoon of allspice, ¼ teaspoons of nutmeg, ¼ teaspoons of ground ginger, and ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon. Mixed same together.
1 Package (8oz) cream cheese softened
1 Cup powdered sugar
1 Tub (8oz) Cool whip Topping thawed
The recipe calls for the cake to be 4 layers but I did it with two and I frosted the entire cake, not just between the layers.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pam or grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Beat cake mix, 1 cup of the pumpkin, mil, eggs, oil, and 1 teaspoon of the spice in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Pour evenly into the cake pans.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks in pans.
Meanwhile beat cream cheese in small brown until creamy. Add powdered sugar, remaining pumpkin and rest of pumpkin spice, mix well. Stir in Cool Whip.
Remove cake from pans. Place one layer on cake dish top down and layer frosting on top. Put next cake layer on top and frost entire cake. After frosting I added fresh blueberries on top and chilled cake before eating. It was so refreshing.
Mom loved it very much as did everyone else

Lochlair History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Lochlair family
Peeblesshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd nam Pùballan), former county in South-central Scotland, in the present day Scottish Borders Council Area. They were from the locality known as Portmoore Loch in the parish of Eddleston in Peeblesshire. Literally, the name means "a place where rivers meet with a partial obstruction from a wooden dam. " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Later they acquired the lands of Gillemorestun in 1189. John Loch of Roxburghshire represented his Clan when he rendered homage in 1296 to King Edward I of England on his brief conquest of Scotland. Malise Lock was taken prisoner at Dunbar Castle in the same year. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

Migration of the Lochlair family to the New World and Oceana
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: George Loch, who settled in Louisiana in 1722 with his wife and children, John Lock, who settled in Barbados in 1654; Robert Lock, who settled in Virginia in 1653.
The Lochlair Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Assiduitate, non desdia
Motto Translation: By assiduity, not by sloth.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi, I'm in the middle of filing forms for a civil lawsuit in America. The lawyer has filled out the forms and spelt my name incorrectly and I need to change it and sign and date the forms. They are in a pdf format. How do I do this?
The lawyer has sent me the filled in forms 1) The Complaint, 2) The General Negligence Cause of Action, 3) The Intentional Tort Cause of Action and 4) The Attachment detailing the incident.
But another lawyer has told me that I need to fill out 1) The Complaint (which I have see above), 2) a Summons, 3) a Civil Case Cover Sheet and 4) a Civil Case Cover Sheet Addendum.
The website and court I need to file them is www.lacourt.org.
I don't know how to make the changes and fill the extra forms out that the first lawyer has omitted. They need to be filed by Tuesday next week and everyone is on Thanksgiving holiday now so I can't ask anyone.

The Syria Files,
Files released: 1432389
The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

Congratulations to the Republican House of Representatives for voting today to keep the federal government open while defunding Obamacare. The House's continuing resolution (CR) maintains funding for the entire federal budget, sans Obama's profligate, confounding, disorganized, already-imploding "reform" of American medicine.
Now, here is a small, simple, and cost-free tactic that the House GOP caucus can implement today that will shield it from the Left's latest lie ("The Republicans want to shut down the government").
As I recently wrote:
With news cameras present, every House Republican should march this physical bill [the CR, without Obamacare money] through the U.S. Capitol and over to the doors of the Senate chamber. "The Republican House has voted to fund federal services," Speaker John Boehner should declare. "We hereby deliver this bill to the Democratic Senate to complete the people's work and keep America's government open."
Such a simple move — physically taking the CR over to the Senate and having Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor, other leaders, and the entire GOP conference hand it to Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and other GOP senators — would provide priceless news images and permanent video that the Right can play every time that the Left lies through their teeth and says that Republicans are trying to padlock the government.
The GOP voted today to keep the government open. If it gets shut down, that's something for which Harry Reid and Obama should pay the political price.
The House also, wisely, included Senator Pat Toomey's Full Faith and Credit Act. It would avoid a budget default by assuring that the U.S. Treasury makes interest payments to America's bondholders before anyone else sees a check from Washington. Despite the relentless ignorance and deliberate lies peddled by lazy journalists and Democrat politicians alike, America will not default on its obligations, even if the debt limit is not raised, so long as the Treasury pays interest to U.S. creditors. Federal tax revenues are more than sufficient to do this. By including Toomey's measure in today's bill, Republicans can demonstrate that they have no interest in defaulting on America's debts, never mind the Left's repeated lies to the contrary.
By physically walking this measure over to their Senate colleagues, while the whole world is watching, House Republicans can turn these small steps across the Capitol into a giant leap for life without Obamacare.

Dana White Happy to Never Have to Do Business with Randy Couture Again
"Randy Couture comes off as the greatest guy in the world, Captain America. He's the furthest thing from it, and I'm happy to not be in business with him anymore," said White during the UFC 156 media day on Thursday. "Now I don't have to be in business with him ever again."
White's comments may come as a shock to some, but he maintains they won't be a shock to anyone that actually knows Couture.
"99.9 percent of the people, that won't be shocking at all, people that actually know him, not people who watch him on TV," said White.
It's no surprise that White is angry at Couture for doing this. As an ambassador for the UFC, who appears almost weekly on UFC programming, he has every right to be. However, in terms of doing what he feels is best for him, Couture has always marched to his own beat. We need to look no further than '07 for proof of that.
I've always heard rumors of about Couture being a completely different person behind the scenes, but never lent much credence to them. Maybe it's the case after all.
Couture signs Spike deal, joins Bellator reality series
SI.com has confirmed through multiple sources that UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture has signed into a multi-year deal with Spike TV, a property of Viacom, to appear in multiple projects for the cable channel, as well as other possible ventures within the media conglomerate's family of networks.
As a part of the multi-faceted agreement, Couture's first role will be as a coach in the forthcoming Bellator MMA reality Series, which begins shooting in February and airs later this year.
Spike TV will unveil this industry-shifting announcement on Feb. 5 during a press conference in Los Angeles, where Couture and Spike TV president Kevin Kay will discuss details of the agreement and what the 49-year-old retired fighter's role will be on the Bellator series and possibly other Spike-broadcasted projects. The series is expected to feature a number of current and up-and-coming Bellator fighters.
The article also states that the deal was done, "much to the disapproval" of UFC president Dana White.
As if the budding war between the UFC and Bellator needed any more fuel to the fire after White's suggestion that fighters not sign with Bellator due to ther contract stipulation this past weekend. Things are about to get interesting to say the least.
Randy Couture Not Coming Back to Fighting 'Unless Steven Seagal Wants to Sign Up'
Now the focus of most of Couture's interviews these days revolve around what he's up to these days in terms of his acting career, but the MMA legend doesn't escape a few questions about his fighting past.
One of the most common questions has to be 'is there any fight that would draw you back into the Octagon?'.
Well, leave it to Randy Couture to spice things up and throw out another action star's name, who isn't in The Expendables, but happens to be swirling around his old stomping ground in the UFC.
"Not unless (Steven) Seagal wants to sign up," Couture answered with a smile and a laugh.
Please God, make Seagal respond with a 'yes'.
