The VIABLE study was an investigation into whether respiratory viruses explained high rates of acute otitis media with perforation (AOMwiP) in young Aboriginal children in remote Australia. The study took the form of a retrospective analysis of clinical trial specimens and data. It used stored nasopharyngeal swabs collected at monthly visits from children less than 18 months of age with AOM with perforation and from children without AOM to determine the prevalence of respiratory viruses (influenza A and B; respiratory syncytial virus; parainfluenza 1,2 & 3; rhinovirus, adenovirus, human metapneumovirus). The AOM-pathogen-specific load (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis) was quantified, as was total bacterial load prior to and at the time of perforation. Mathematical models of bacterial load and viral infection were applied to test the hypothesis that viral infection directly or indirectly increases the risk of AOMwiP.
The study confirmed a positive association between nasopharyngeal bacterial load and clinical ear state, exacerbated by respiratory viruses, in Indigenous children. Adenovirus (HAdV) was independently associated with acute ear states.

Cape Elizabeth town employees will be prohibited from chewing tobacco while in town buildings and vehicles, thanks to a tweak in employee rules approved this week by the Town Council.
Town Councilors voted unanimously Monday night to alter language in the town's personnel code of conduct to extend a smoke-free workplace policy to all tobacco products.
Town Manager Michael McGovern, who called the practice "a filthy, vile habit," said during the meeting that multiple town employees approached him about barring the practice. He said a representative from every town department approved of the ban.
Chewing tobacco users frequently spit out brown, tobacco-soaked saliva, sometimes into cups or water bottles, an unsightly process that is also cause for health and sanitation concerns, Councilor Jessica Sullivan said.
"I think spitting in general is something to be avoided," Sullivan said.

The Arossim area of North Goa has been our favoured place to stay over the past several years. The rather peaceful beach stretches coupled with resort, restaurants and shacks so well known to us are a powerful combination. As you step on Arossim Beach via the lane that runs by the Park Hyatt Hotel, the sight of the waves that the wind has carved on the sand is remarkable, indeed. Worth pausing for a minute to admire.
Typical summer late afternoons, with the sun still a few hours from setting, offers a good opportunity to explore the area for a few kilometres further south.
Balton's Shack, one of our favourites, is located about half a kilometer south of the Park Hyatt on Uttorda Beach.
A warm welcome from Bala and staff, and it's time to settle down with a cold drink of the all-natural Urak. It is, after all, Urak season from April to early June.
Tables are laid out nearer the water a little before Sunset. This is one of the loveliest hours of the day that can be experienced in Goa. The last of the walkers make their way back home. And the last of the soccer players kick the ball around.
Due to lack of clouds, the sun can be tracked down to the point that it appears to disappear into the sea.
The toes dug deep in the sand is an indication of the level of comfort, as the beach empties out.
After several more minutes of admiring the sunset views when time seems to freeze, it's time to head to the restaurant by the street.
Here's a little video of the period when the sun is just about to set.
The waves seem to resign themselves to the fact that the day has come to an end.
It gets increasingly peaceful all around.
Th sun is a little red ball, this is imdeed a summer special.
The walk along the beach while the after glow lights the sky is quiet and pleasant. There appears to be enough light to keep the suspicious beach dogs away.
On one of the days, the moon had risen just while the sun had set. Quite a pretty sight, though the photo taken with the mobile phone does not do justice.
Balton's Restaurant run by Tony has been my haunt for the past 8 years or so. Incredibly well maintained, the decor is striking, and includes two motorcycles from the late 1970s, a Rajdoot Yamaha and a Bullet.
Dinner to be sampled spans Goan Cafreal, Xacuti and Vindaloo over several days.
Pristine Resort is a terrific dinner venue, as well, both in the restaurant overlooking the pool as well as poolside.
Summer evenings are pleasant by the pool, good to wind down after long days out by the sea.
Breakfast every morning by the pool is an extremely pleasant way to start the day.
Rooms in Pristine are maintained very well. There is a range of rooms, ranging from single bedrooms to large apartments with kitchens. All the apartments overlook the pool.
It's time to pack and head out to the airport. Another summer trip has come to an end.

This cover article was printed in the April 21, 2003 issue of NY Magazine: "Psychic New York – the city's supernatural superstars."
With his bedroom eyes and untraceable accent, Gerard Senehi is perhaps the city's most alluring mentalist, and his act bending wineglasses, making cigarettes float, makes even jaded New Yorkers jump. Is he really psychic, or is it just magic? You be the judge.
by Jennifer Senior pages 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
If a man combines alchemy, soothsaying, and a cheerful disregard for gravity in his act, he can't expect to be left alone when the show's over. Invariably, someone is going to buttonhole him and insist he repeat some trick or another. This evening at the Waldorf-Astoria is no exception.
"I'm a cynic and a skeptic," booms Bruce Allen, a barrel-chested advertising man from Indiana. "I really need to see you bend that wineglass again."
Gerard Senehi calls himself the Experimentalist. He makes pens and eyeglasses and long-stem roses jump, seemingly of their own accord, out of people's hands; he changes the times on their watches; he bends keys and coins while they're still in their owner's suspicious grip. And in almost every performance, he can be counted on to bum a cigarette from someone in the audience, light it, and then... let it go, leaving it hanging in midair before it sails back and forth between his outstretched hands. (As a grand finale, he grabs it with his teeth and takes a puff.) "Didn't you see the show?" Senehi asks.
"Yes, I saw the show!" says Allen. "But that bent wine stem just killed me. I'd love to see that one more time."
The wine stem's nice, but me, I prefer the quieter, minimalist stuff Senehi does, the stuff involving almost no props at all, suggesting he has full visibility into our thoughts. He guesses the words we're thinking; he guesses phrases we're staring at from books off our own shelves.
Senehi stares at Allen's watch. "How long have you had that?"
"Since Christmas."
"Take a deep breath. Blow on it. Notice anything?" Allen consults. "It stopped. That's impossible."
Senehi nods. "Take another deep breath. Quick. Blow on it again."
The watch is now ticking. Allen laughs, then gets over it. "That's nice," he says. "But Gerard... what about the glass?"
Ah, that glass, that glass, that glass: It's Senehi's signature piece (though he borrowed the principle from a German magician, Ted Lesley). The volunteer holds the stem of his or her wineglass very tightly, releases it, and whiz-bang, presto, it has bent like a bolt of lightning.
Senehi refuses to repeat the trick. Instead, he picks a fork up off the table, grips the handle with his left hand, and, with his right, gives a hoodooish wave. The neck twists 360 degrees, forming a perfect corkscrew. "Oooooh, that's great," marvels Allen. "Just great."
Mary Falvey, a senior vice-president at Resort Condominiums International and the woman who hired Senehi for the evening, wanders over. "Look at that!" Allen exclaims, waving his coiled prize. "Look at that! Look at that!"
"Whoa," she says. She stares at Senehi. "So... is it real, or is it magic?" Senehi beams with pleasure. "Ah! Perfect! Exactly!" he says, giving her a seductive smile. "You're in just the right place."

I'm really excited to be a part of this blog tour!
My review of THE SECRET JOURNEYS OF JACK LONDON TOUR:
Authors Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon were kind enough to answer some questions about his book:
1. Very interesting fact that Jack London's mother actually was a medium. Were there any other interesting, unknown facts you learned in your research?
TL: Yes, discovering that was a surprise, and also a gift for us as writers, of course. The fact that she also offered Jack up to the spirits as a punishment, though obviously horrible for the young Jack London, was also priceless for what we wanted to do with the book. His mother was quite a tragic character -- she tried to kill herself when Jack was very young, spent the rest of her life with a gunshot scar on her forehead. Some of this we used in the book, and some we didn't.
The whole research process was a voyage of discovery. I knew a little about Jack, but not nearly as much as I thought. For instance, before the age of sixteen he'd been a hobo, an oyster pirate, and had sailed the Pacific hunting seals. Just amazing. He led such a full, exciting, tragic life ... much of what he did at an early age he was driven to by money worries, not only for himself but for his depressed mother. Tragic, but it shaped the way Jack London viewed life, and of course all that experience went into the incredible books and stories he wrote. Without all those terrible hardships, he would not have given us the wonderful books that still resonate so profoundly today.
CG: I'd echo the things that Tim said. I had read a bio of Jack when I was a teenager, so I knew some of the more exotic facts about his background, but I learned more--for better and for worse--about his thoughts and writings and politics while doing research for this book. As an adult, Jack adopted some attitudes--not uncommon for the era--that weren't so admirable, but as a young man he had a strong work ethic and used his voice to support the rights of laborers. And the more I read about his adventurous spirit...that's really the part of Jack London I most admire.
2. Love the legends you used in the story. Which one was your favorite?
TL: Definitely the Wedigo. Leshii is a Russian legend which we relocated a little .... just across the Bering Sea to Alaska. But the Wendigo has been a favourite of mine for years, ever since I read the classic Algernon Blackwood story The Wendigo. It's such a nasty tale, and at its heart it has a monster that is brutal and horrible, but pathetic too.
CG: The Wendigo was my favorite as well. We were very inventive with Leshii and his daughter, exploring the whole forest spirit angle and adapting it to the reality of the era...a kind of "what if." But with the Wendigo, we tried to stay true to the essence of the legends, and as such, the monster comes off as more of a force of nature than in any of the other iterations of the legend I've ever seen. I'm really pleased with what we were able to do with that.
3. What was the hardest scene to write?
TL: Without wanting to give too much away, there's a night-time attack on a camp, where we had to balance sensory input with mystery, darkness, ambiguity. I think it came out really well, and is a very scary scene. Can't wait to see it in the movie!
CG: For me, the most difficult parts of the story to write were the ones most rooted in fact. The trek up the Chilkoot Trail and the trip down Thirty Mile River and the White Horse Rapids...all of that stuff required a special kind of focus. We wanted the reader to FEEL what it might have been like for Jack and the thousands of other people who dared to make the trek through the Alaskan and Canadian wilderness, dreaming of gold.
4. What was your favorite scene in the book?
TL: I loved the Chilkoot Trail. It really was as challenging and deadly as we portray it in the book ... in fact, maybe even more so. The things people go through for gold...
CG: Ah, I can't give it away. Let's just say, the moment when Jack meets Lesya's father...it's just freaky. I loved that bit.
5. Do you have any sequels planned?
TL: Absolutely! The second book, THE SEA WOLVES, is out next year. We've just seen the cover and––if this is possible––I think it's even better than THE WILD. And we're just about to start work on book 3, WHITE FANGS.
I really loved this retelling of the classic Jack London story. Also the illustrations by Greg Ruth are great too:

Thanks! Its one shot, but I did play with the exposure a bit in Photoshop, which almost gave it an HDR-esque feel.

The city of San Antonio was ranked the ninth Happiest City for Jobs in a recent list put out by Forbes.com. The list, developed by CareerBliss, was based on 10 factors that impact workplace happiness, including employee and boss relationships, opportunities for growth, compensation, resources, company culture and reputation, among others. The list reflects a compilation of more than 43,000 independent employee reviews.
With a vast range of industries, such as healthcare and biosciences, aerospace, tourism, support of the military, international trade, manufacturing, to name a few, San Antonians have many choices of job opportunities that meet their personal and professional interests.
One of the city's largest employers, USAA, a financial services company for the military community, was recently ranked no. 20 on Fortune's 2012 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For, and for two consecutive years, ComputerWorld has named the company "The Best Place to Work in IT" in America.
"San Antonio has always been our home. Some of the very best employees can be found in this city, and we believe that if we take good care of our employees, they will continue to take good care of the military families we serve," says USAA CEO Joe Robles. "We are deliberate in making our work environment safe, fun, and a place in which our employees enjoy coming to work, every day."
In addition to a dynamic workforce, corporations like USAA have discovered the benefits of doing business in San Antonio, including energy availability and costs, highway accessibility and cost of living. According to the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation (SAEDF), new business investments in San Antonio resulted in 4,917 direct new jobs in 2011 and the organization predicts the same level in 2012.
"It is positive news for the business community in San Antonio when its workforce is acknowledged on a national scale," says Mario Hernandez, president of the SAEDF. "The business leaders in San Antonio are both professional and progressive, and the city works hard to make an atmosphere that is conducive to business growth and productivity."
About the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation:
The San Antonio Economic Development Foundation (SAEDF) is a private, non-profit organization responsible for attracting new business and industry to San Antonio. The organization has been responsible for the recruitment of more than 360 companies that collectively employ nearly 95,000 San Antonians.

I ordered the beef and broccoli from here a few times. Most of the time it is good. However, a few times the food had been raw. The first two times it was raw, I just heated it back up. Today I ordered it again, thinking that maybe it was just a mistake. When I got my food today it was so red that I didn't even want to try to cook it. I call the store back and they told me it had been to long since I ordered the food to get a reimbursement. I told the guy I still had the food. The guy argued with me until I told him I am just going to bring it back up there and he needs to give me a refund. I will not be going back due to the horrible customer service on top of the raw food.

Video: Dying Light on PS4: New PlayStation 4 Trailer, New Epidemic
Techland Game Producer Tymon Smektala posted up a new PlayStation 4 video trailer dubbed New Epidemic today showcasing Dying Light on PS4.
To quote: Hello, everyone! I'm Tymon Smektala, the producer of Dying Light - Techland's latest first-person, action survival-horror game coming this year. I'd like to use this opportunity to tell you more about Dying Light and its Humanity trailer that we released today.
Let's start with a simple statement: we've gotten accustomed to mindless zombie killing, right? Movies, TV series, books, and of course games - no matter what the medium, zombies became the cannon fodder of our times. After all, no one should bat an eye at taking down thousands of already dead, walking corpses. Or should they? In Dying Light, we make things a little bit more complicated.
With our latest Humanity trailer, we wanted to present a deeper vision of what a zombie epidemic would mean for humankind. "Epidemic" being the crucial word here. Mutating into a zombie is a result of infection, not some kind of a supernatural transformation, but simply a disease, just like flu, pneumonia, or SARS.
This realization helped us create one of the most outstanding features of Dying Light: its setting. A quarantined city just several weeks after the outbreak.
It's an intriguing locale that shows the horrible reality of living in the quarantine zone infested with the raging infected. "We were doctors, teachers, fathers, sons" - says the trailer's narrator. People who just two months or so earlier had families, homes, and jobs, had to become scavengers and hunters in order to survive.
Now their everyday routine consists of gathering supplies, repairing barricades, fighting for medicines - struggling to stay alive, to put it simply. In this world, things that we take for granted are in fact precious commodities.
When traversing the city of Harran, the player will encounter survivors in a variety of situations. You may find them hidden, trapped or surrounded by the infected in the most unlikely places, calling hopelessly for help. Your help. It's up to you whether you'll decide to come to their aid or not. Lending a helping hand, be it out of kind heart or want for reward, is always a risk, though. The grim reality of Harran doesn't allow any safe choices.
"But so they were," continues the narrator. In the quarantine zone, the line between the infected and the sane is very thin. The player should remember that not only the survivors were common people like you and me months earlier - so were the infected.
Imagine that in order to stay alive, you could be forced to shoot your family doctor, chop a colleague from your office to pieces, or leave your best friend for certain death.
It's either you or them. But you should never forget that they're not walking corpses - they're just infected, although as of yet there's no cure for their illness. What would you do if there was one?

i would like to play this... when it comes for ps3... seems interesting... reminds me a bit of dead island... which was quite a good game... is it a disc based game or a download... just have to wait and see.


text: Teodor Dabov, Kyle Yeates and Anthony Montevirgen, are credited with the fourth-gen Shuffle's design. Notably, Apple's patent application dates back to August 27th, 2010; that's just a week before the player was announced, which may have been deliberate timing to avoid tipping the product early. While the Shuffle is a relatively low priority for Apple, the company also counts heavily on surprise to give its press events dramatic impact and force competitors to catch up.

Topic: Break (02/06/06)
TITLE: Come on, take a break!
By Amanda D'costa
There is also another meaning to the word 'break'. It could be that one should 'take a break' from daily routine, or any stressful, tiring situation, or even have an interval in between schedules. Taking this into account, when I think of the life of man today, all I see is a hurried, fast-life generation with confused goals in mind. Education, advanced technology and the improvement in living conditions have played a vital role in taking man in this direction. One sad feature to be noted though, is that, in the bargain, we look all over the place for ways of refreshing ourselves, ways that would make us re-coup and revive, ways that will uplift our spirit. Alas, we look for life in all the wrong places.
Acts 2:42-47 gives us a picture of the first gathering of the early church. This gathering was unique; it was a fellowship based on a common mission, a mission that believed in life and a mission that has survived the test of time to this very moment. This first fellowship was in the breaking of bread – bread being symbolical for Jesus. Whenever anyone was in need of material or spiritual wealth, they took a break from their daily routines to fellowship in the Lord. You might wonder what this has to do with our modern world.
I would like to give you a simple example of taking a break and resting your case in Jesus. About an hour ago, my husband told our 5year old boy that he had to sleep without him, as he (his dad) was very busy at the computer. Our son sobbed and sobbed, and would not give in, till I finally went and lay down with him. I told him a little secret and he was all ears to try it out. Soon he was sitting up to follow the secret instructions I gave him. "Jesus, please bring my dada here to sleep with me. Thank you Jesus!" This was our little secret… resting our case in Jesus. And sure enough, in no time His dad and he were sleeping together. Just a little word or minute with Jesus in your life can do wonders.
Whenever I am in some sort of a crisis, and am helpless, I cover myself with the precious blood of Jesus, and tell Him, "Lord, if you want me to go through this problem, it's fine with me. But I give it back to you, and it's your problem now. What ever happens to me is your problem and you are wholly and entirely responsible for me. Thank you Jesus." This is my way of taking a break and reviving my weary spirit. It will work for you; all you need to have is a willing heart.
And now for that coffee break with Jesus!

Lustrious is a Black hair care product, which is exclusively featured on radio ads in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
It gives one's hair a wet, curly look when used.
It's most likely a parody of Luster's hair products, specifically the S-Curl hair kit, which is widely used among the African-American population.
However, unlike its real-life counterpart, Lustrious has ridiculous side effects such as: Coughing, boo-booing (defecation), hurling (vomiting), and rigor mortis. Obviously since it's only featured on radio ads, it never appears in stores. The commercials can most likely be heard when listening to CSR 103.9. Their catchphrase is "Let your 'fro glow!"
- Most likely, the song is a parody of Soul Glo.

The $31.2 million renovation of Ed Smith Stadium begins to take shape, and includes more shade for fans.
Using a baseball analogy, the renovation of Ed Smith Stadium is somewhere in the fourth or fifth inning.
No interruptions, postponements or delays are anticipated, and when it is done, officials expect the finished product to equal, in appearance, functionality and fan comfort, that most cherished of baseball events.
A home run. Perhaps even a grand slam.
"You never know until you get to the finish line,'' said Janet Marie Smith, the Baltimore Orioles' vice president of planning and development, "but our aim is to be a higher standard than we've seen in other spring training facilities.''
Area media were allowed on Monday their first official look inside the stadium, part of a $31.2 million refurbishment that also includes a makeover of Twin Lakes Park, the Orioles' minor league complex.
Work on the 20-year-old Ed Smith facility began in June, and, with legal challenges finally out of the way, is expected to be completed by mid-February, in time for the Orioles' March 1 home opener.
"It is a tight schedule,'' said Carolyn Eastwood, project manager for Sarasota County, "but we'll make it.''
Since June, an average of 130-150 workers have been on site daily. Locally based W.G. Mills, along with national firm Hunt Construction Group, are handling the renovation, with more than 50 percent of the subcontractors originating from Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties.
Even amid dirt, debris and workers in hard hats, the changes already in place were easy to spot.
The biggest, and certainly most noticeable, was the addition of a second-floor concourse, a feature nonexistent in the old Ed Smith.
The new level will have restrooms, concessions and wheelchair access, but most importantly, will be mostly shaded, a top priority Smith gleaned from speaking with Sarasota baseball fans.
"I just can't emphasize how many times we heard that,'' said Smith, a key figure in the design of Baltimore's Camden Yards and the improvements at Boston's Fenway Park.
"The goal was to listen to what fans here in Sarasota had to say, which is give us more shade, give us more concessions, give us some of the amenities that other parks have.''
The new park will have them. Four elevators, one each in right and left field, and two behind home plate, will assist fans in reaching the second level.
Behind home plate, the stadium's main entrance will provide an immediate view of the entire field. Also on the level will be an air-conditioned deli and retail store, an oasis for fans seeking relief from the sun and heat; concessions; and TV monitors.
Ed Smith's faded blue seats are history, soon to be replaced by refurbished dark green seats from Camden Yards. Another theme borrowed from the Orioles' park will be a 7-foot-high outfield wall, giving leaping outfielders the chance to pull back potential home runs.
An LED video screen and scoreboard will provide replays and messages.
In left field, a picnic area will serve as home for Boog's Barbecue, the specialty of former Oriole Boog Powell and a Camden Yards favorite.
The bullpens, formerly behind the left- and right-field fence, will be relocated down the left- and right-field lines. Also planned is a berm on which fans will be able to sit.
The addition of seats and standing room will increase the stadium's capacity from around 6,500 to close to 9,000.

His Eminence Metropolitan Philip Celebrates Palm Sunday with St. George Community
It has been become a tradition and a blessing that Metropolitan Philip celebrates Palm Sunday with the parish of St. George, Little Falls, NJ. This year, like the others in recent memory, the rainy April skies cleared for beautiful Sunday, perfect for a procession with palms. Celebrating the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy with His Eminence was host pastor The Very Reverend Elias Bitar and Deacon Michael Ibrahim, along with Archdeacon Hans El Hayek and Fr. John Behr, Dean of St. Vladimir's Seminary. As always on Palm Sunday, the St. George Church was packed to capacity, with an overflow crowd of an additional 250 viewing the Liturgy from the Church Hall via a large video screen.
Following the Gospel reading, Saidna addressed the congregation briefly then invited Fr. John Behr to deliver the homily for the day. Following the Eucharist, His Eminence and the gathered clergy led a procession of 500+ parishioners around the church, ending with the reading of the Gospel while the young children of St. George sat at the altar steps. Finally, Saidna gave the blessing and expressed his fondness for our parish, Christine Lynch and the St. George Choir, and thanked all those who chanted, served and participated in this Feast Day.
This annual visit from Metropolitan Philip is an event that the parish has cherished year after year, and it looks forward to celebrating Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem with His Eminence again next year, Insha'Allah!
Many Years, Master!

Gone are the days of file replication for the majority of data in Configuration Manager. While content for applications, packages and a small subset of discovery still use file replication, all the other information in Configuration Manager now uses SQL Server Service Broker to replicate data around the Configuration Manager hierarchy.
"Boy, this is an exciting topic!" Well, if that is what you are thinking, then hang with me – it only gets better. SQL Server Service Broker is now the bedrock we use to make sure users get the apps and settings the admin wants them to have – which only makes your job easier. You are no longer required to manage file replication throughout your ConfigMgr hierarchy and network – it simply "just happens." How excited are customers about this? Here are just a couple of the comments we received:
- "Replication just works."
- "Object locking so only one user in the hierarchy can edit data at a time – that's just awesome."
I bring this up because it really simplifies your job. No more babysitting inbox replication throughout the hierarchy. Database replication technology just takes care of it for you. So, what type of data is replicated where? Here's how it breaks down:
Data type
Replication type
Where is data found?
Global data
Collection rules, package metadata, software update metadata, Deployments
Central administration site, all primary sites, secondary sites (a subset of global data is replicated here)
Site data
Collection members, HINV, alert messages
Central administration site, originating primary site
Software package installation bits, software updates, boot images
Primary sites, secondary sites, distribution points
The two types of data that take advantage of the SQL Server Service Broker are:
- Global data – any data generated by the administrator (e.g. data entered manually from the administration console)
- Site data – any data that is generated by the system
(Content data continues to flow through the hierarchy to the appropriate distribution points via file replication.)
The most important things to know about global data and site data are:
- Global data is present at the central administration site, all primary sites, and a subset of it at the secondary sites. The secondary site global data, for example, provides links to full policy at the primary site, so clients can quickly determine if there is new applicable policy. Also, this secondary site data provides management and distribution point lookup information.
- Global data includes the site control file (now in the database and not as a separate modifiable file on the file system) and ensures all primary site servers and the central administration site know how the entire hierarchy is configured. This helps with recovery scenarios, as any primary site or the central administration site can be used as a reference point to recover a failed site without a good backup.
- Data is replicated through the hierarchy or, in the case of site data, up the hierarchy every 1 to 7 minutes, so the administrator has a very accurate view of the Configuration Manager hierarchy
- Site data is only replicated up the hierarchy and not across the hierarchy. Since hierarchy data can be very large, we are reducing the size of storage needed across the hierarchy because site data is not needed at every site. This fosters centralized management and reporting at the central administration site.
- Site data replication pattern (up to the central administration site) further supports the goal of driving central administration from the central administration site
One thing to note is that if an administrator is logged onto a single primary site and creates a deployment to a collection, that administrator will only see the collection members listed as a member of the site they are administering from, but their deployment will be hierarchy wide. That is why the collection member count is a part of global data. That same administrator may view the scope of their deployment; say to 200 clients, while they can only see the 100 clients as members of the collection, since those clients are assigned to the primary site the administrator is connected to through the administration console.
Available Global Data and Site Data
The only place for a Configuration Manager administrator to have a complete picture of the entire hierarchy is at the central administration site. It is recommended that all administration for a Configuration Manager hierarchy be accomplished from the central administration site. In this way, all data to which an administrator is granted access is visible.
The days of file based replication are gone for the most part, providing additional flexibility and quick gratification of data managed at the top level of the hierarchy, the central administration site. Yet another way that Configuration Manager is improving the speed and simplicity with which administrators can manage their hierarchy.

Anticipating Ethical Controversy in Big Data
Co-sponsored by Cyber Center, Department of Computer Science, Brian Lamb School of Communication
November 17, 2014 Jeff Collmann
"Big Data" means many things to many people. This talk will explore themes about ethical reasoning in Big Data that have emerged in an interdisciplinary, collaborative project between scholars at Purdue University, Georgetown University, Stevens Institute of Technology and the Association of American Geographers. What does the term "Big Data" mean? How does "Big Data" differ from "Small Data" with respect to its production, use and interpretation, particularly in scientific research? How do the ethical implications of issues such as privacy vary across the range of communities working with Big Data? What are the implications of key ethical principles such as the principles of beneficence, trust or social justice for Big Data and do they also vary across the range of communities? The talk will consider several case examples as points of reflection with respect to all these issues. The talk begins with the premise that none of these questions has ready answers in the Big Data domain and argues that we should start discussing them now before major new ethical controversies emerge with the application of Big Data methods in scientific research.
If You Build It
Co-sponsored by Cyber Center and Computer Science Women's Network
April 17, 2014 Katie Siek
In this talk, I show how applying theories from psychology, design, and business to application design gradually improved acceptance and appropriation in underserved communities. I first briefly discuss how we used Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory to design a mobile application that empowers low literacy, chronically ill patients to manage their diet. I then discuss various theories and design methods we used with low socioeconomic status families to design an application to improve family snacking behaviors. Finally, I will show how we are building on the Ikea Effect to motivate low socioeconomic status children to create their own health monitoring technology. All of the methods can be easily adopted into an engineer's toolbox for designing applications that can potentially change the world.
Practical k Nearest Neighbor Queries with Location Privacy
April 17, 2014 Xun Yi
In mobile communication, spatial queries pose a serious threat to user location privacy because the location of a query may reveal sensitive information about the mobile user. In this talk, we consider k nearest neighbor (kNN) queries where the mobile user queries the location-based service (LBS) provider about k nearest points of interest (POIs) on the basis of his current location.
Agents beyond control? How distributed social control in computational institutions can increase organizational fidelity and reduce corruption.
Co-sponsored by Cyber Center and Brian Lamb School of Communication
February 19, 2014 Howard T. Welser
This talk describes the organizational challenge in terms of the principal-agent problem and identifies the set of attributes necessary for distributed social control in computational institutions. This set forms an ideal type that can be applied to extant organizations to reveal problems and suggest solutions that can be integrated from current online systems of interaction. In conclusion, I advocate for researchers and designers to propose, develop and to implement systems that will allow organizations to bring organizational agents under control.
Mobile-Based Symptom Management for Palliative Care
Co-sponsored by Cyber Center and Regentrief Center for Healthcare Engineering
Janurary 16, 2014 Mohamed Munirul Haque
The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life of terminally ill patients through the management of pain and other symptoms. Though the term 'palliative care' is well known in the developed world, it is relatively a new term in the developing world. In this presentation, we elaborate on the challenges faced by the rural breast cancer (BC) patients of Bangladesh and a mobile phone based solution for their palliative care treatment. Breast cancer patients need traditional treatment as well as long term monitoring through an adaptive feedback-oriented treatment mechanism. Based on detailed field studies, we have developed and deployed a mobile-based remote symptom monitoring and management system named e-ESAS. Design of e-ESAS has evolved through continuous feedback from both the patients and doctors. e-ESAS has been used by 10 breast cancer patients to submit symptom values from their home for 10 months (Nov '11- Sep '12). Our results show how e-ESAS with motivational videos not only helped the patients to have a 'dignified' life but also helped the doctors to achieve the goals of palliative care.
Do wise crowds have sticky elites?
Co-sponsored by Cyber Center and Brian Lamb School of Communication
November 13, 2013 Sorin Adam Matei
Pareto's "80/20 rule," which says that 80% of the output or benefits is produced or enjoyed by 20% of the members of any given group, has increasingly become a source of debate. For example, the top 20% American earners reap 51% of the national personal income.
How uneven is the social media wealth? If Wikipedia were a country and words its currency, how uneven would its "income" distribution be? Would Wikipedia me more egalitarian than Denmark or more elitist than Sierra Leone? And more importantly, do the highest earners belong to a stable elite, or do they change all the time?
What can this type of research tell us about nurturing social media engagement and a sense of equity and democracy online?
Scientific Reproducibility: Opportunities and Challenges for Open Research Data and Code
Co-sponsored by Purdue Libraries and the Cyber Center in Discovery Park
October 25, 2013 Victoria Stodden

Kevin White, PhD, combines experimental and computational techniques to understand the networks of factors that control gene expression during development, evolution and disease. He is a Professor in Human Genetics, Ecology & Evolution and Medicine, Section of Genetic Medicine and Director of the Institute for Genomic & Systems Biology at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory.
Building Safe, Thriving Communities with Credible Content: Design Principles for Web Sites and Social Structures
April 9, 2012 Ben Shneiderman
While researchers are far from having reliable predictive models of online community success, a growing body of literature and inspirational examples can provide guidance for aspiring community managers. We know that design principles for websites can make a substantial difference in getting first-time users to return or regular visitors to become content contributors and eventually active collaborators. Getting active collaborators to become committed leaders is yet a bigger challenge, but having such leaders is one of the keys to community success. These leaders help set behavior norms by their examples, take the community into new directions, and deal with a wide variety of threats. Successful communities must develop leaders who create resilient social structures to deal with serious threats from hackers who maliciously violate privacy, attack servers, vandalize content, or provide misleading content. This talk will cover examples and a road map for research.
On Schema Discovery
April 12, 2012 Renée J. Miller
Structured data is distinguished from unstructured data by the presence of a schema describing the logical structure and semantics of the data. The schema is the means through which we understand and query the underlying data. Schemas enable data independence. In this talk, I consider new challenges in the old problem of schema discovery. I'll discuss the changing role of schemas from prescriptive to descriptive. I'll use examples from Web data publishing and from Business Analytics to motivate the automation of schema discovery and maintenance.
Metadata and Provenance: Fins in the Sea of Data
March 28, 2012 Beth Plale
The data deluge and discussions of its implications is no longer just the purview of obscure technology conferences. So visible and immediate has the topic become, that it was a topic at the 2012 Davos World Economic Forum. The data deluge of interest to computer scientists and informatics researchers is the one that impacts science and scholarly research. If realized properly, this deluge will be a catalyst for new scientific discovery that fuels advances in grand challenge questions such as climate and social-ecological interactions. Antecedent to these discoveries, however, is the need for deeper understanding of the issues of access and use of the metadata and provenance about scientific data. On one hand, good metadata and provenance turn data from being write-once, read-none to write-many, read-many; on the other, bad metadata and provenance just contribute in a non-trivial way to the data deluge.
In this talk I discuss several related research efforts on tools, evaluations, and experiences gained in provenance and metadata use and access that facilitate new forms of access and use of scientific and scholarly data.
BioSENSE: Biologically-inspired Secure Elastic Networked Sensor Environment
October 25, 2011 Mohamed Eltoweissy
Recently, the Department of Defense has designated Cyberspace as the fifth, and only human-made, dimension of operations. Besides, Cyberspace is becoming the nervous system of our modern society as it is increasingly being integrated in virtually all aspects of control and communication. Today's Cyberspace comprises highly dynamic, interdependent global network of information technology infrastructures, telecommunications networks, computing systems, integrated sensors, control systems, embedded processors and controllers. Moreover, cyber resources are being tightly coupled and coordinated with their physical counterparts giving rise to pervasive social-cyber-physical environments. These emerging environments promise innovations, new services and significant enhancements in the safety, efficiency and reliability of numerous systems and infrastructures ranging from worldwide social interactions and gaming to smart infrastructure smart infrastructure systems in energy, healthcare, transportation and emergency response to national security and defense.
Enabling Data Driven Research
December 2010 Charles Schmitt
Scientific communities have been rapidly expanding their ability to generate and use electronic data for exploration, modeling and simulations, and for generating and testing hypotheses. However, the current emphasis on data-driven discovery has generated new IT and informatics-related challenges that often impede the goals of these communities. These challenges, especially when coupled with the shifting hardware landscape, are also impacting the ability of campus computational and IT infrastructures to rapidly adapt to scientific demands. The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) works with various scientific communities to assist in overcoming these challenges by leveraging new research in cyberinfrastructure, computer science, and information sciences. In this talk, we address the successes and limitations we've encountered in meeting those challenges with a focus on the gaps that new research in technology can address to move scientific domains forward.
To friend and to trust: Eliciting truthful and useful ratings online
November 2010 Lada Adamic
Online rating and reputation systems have shown themselves to be essential for filtering content, building trust, and fostering communities. However, these ratings should not be taken at face value. When individuals submit ratings online, especially ratings of other people, they are being asked to quantify inherently subjective feelings. To complicate matters, they may formulate their ratings differently if these are shown to others, and if those others can reciprocate. In this talk I will present a study that combines data analysis of several online data sets. For one such system, CouchSurfing.org, I will discuss findings from a largescale survey and in-depth interviews to examine from multiple angles the challenges that users have in providing useful and truthful ratings. We find, for example, that the potential to reciprocate produces higher and more correlated ratings than when individuals are unable to see how others rated them. Ratings further can depend on the gender and nationalities of the raters and ratees. All of these findings indicate that ratings should not be taken at face value without considering social nuances.Presentation Slides
Searching in the "Real World"
April 2010 Ophir Frieder
For many, "searching" is considered a mostly solved problem. In fact, for text processing, this belief is factually based. The problem is that most "real world" search applications involve "complex documents", and such applications are far from solved. Complex documents, or less formally, "real world documents", comprise of a mixture of images, text, signatures, tables, etc, and are often available only in scanned hardcopy formats. Search systems for such document collections are currently unavailable. We describe our efforts at building a complex document information processing prototype. This prototype integrates "point solution" (mature) echnologies, such as OCR capability, signature matching and handwritten word spotting techniques, search and mining approaches, among others, to yield a system capable of searching "real world documents". The described prototype demonstrates the adage that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". Our complex document benchmark development efforts are likewise presented.
Estimation Techniques and Cost Models
February 2010 Riham Abdel Kader
The traditional optimization paradigm relies on cardinality estimation techniques and cost models which are supposed to accurately estimate the result size and the cost of operators. But these estimations are not always accurate. The inaccuracy in cardinality and cost estimations grows exponentially when propagated through the plan, causing serious optimization mistakes. This failure is more acute in the XML case, where much of the progress achieved in the relational context is missing. To overcome the vulnerabilities of traditional optimizers, we propose ROX, a Run-time Optimizer for XQueries. ROX focuses on optimizing the execution order of the path steps and relational joins in an XQuery. It does not depend on any statistics nor cost model and uses sampling techniques to estimate cardinalities of operators. It consists of interleaving optimization and execution steps, where the first initiates a sampling-based search to identify the sequence of operators most efficient to execute. The execution step executes the chosen sequence of operators and

WAIGURU in trouble as police are ordered to arrest her friend, KABURA - She may be nextNews 00:00
... end of this week.
"The law is very clear in Article 125 on power to call for evidence."
"We have the same powers as that of a High Court… we need Kabura here within a week," said Gumo.
The committee noted that it cannot conclude investigations into the scandals at NYS until Kabura is grilled because she is a key witness in the scandal.
"Ksh.791 million went into her account and these letters sent to us are really an insult to this committee," Balambala MP, Abdikadir Aden, remarked.
"That lady must be arrested wherever she is in this country today and brought before this committee tomorrow," he added.

I believe that I'm having some timing issues with my remote flash triggers...
The Gear:
Sony a500
Minolta 5200i flash
iShoot wireless trigger system (cheap ebay triggers that i hope aren't the problem...)
The Problem:
The top 15-20% of the frame is dark after exposures using flash with remote triggers.
My Hypothesis:
I'm guessing that the cause of this is that the shutter isn't completely open when the flash fires. I've tried exposures in every flash mode with the same results.
I'm not at all sure how to fix this issue or even exactly what is going on... any and all help would be very appreciated.

13/15 University Ave, Second Floor
West Chester, PA 19383
Phone: 610-436-3383
April 1, 2014
One of the nation's top researchers in the field of climatology is giving a talk at West Chester University entitled, "Tenant Farming to White House Arrests: A Scientific Perspective on the Unfolding Climate Crisis."
The guest lecture by James Hansen will take place on the University's annual "Research Day," Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Emilie Asplundh Concert Hall on South High St.
A former director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, James Hansen is currently an adjunct professor of earth and environmental sciences at Columbia University's Earth Institute. He studied physics and astronomy in the space science program at the University of Iowa under James Alfred Van Allen, and for nearly four decades has focused on the Earth's climate, especially man-made climate change. In the 1980s, Hansen testified before congressional committees to help raise broad awareness of the global warming issue.
In 1996, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences for his studies of planetary atmospheres, the development of simplified and three-dimensional climate models, and the analysis of current climate trends from observational data. In 2001, he received the 7th Annual Heinz Award in the Environment for his research on global warming and in 2006, was presented the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences' Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility for his advocacy "…in support of scientists' responsibilities to communicate their scientific opinions and findings openly and honestly on matters of public importance."
The following year, Hansen shared the US Dan David Prize, which recognizes and encourages innovative and interdisciplinary research across traditional boundaries and paradigms. Other honors he has received include the 2008 PNC Bank Common Wealth Award of Distinguished Service, the 2010 Sophie Prize, the Commonwealth Club of California's Stephen H. Schneider Award for Outstanding Climate Science Communications, and the Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the American Meteorological Society.
Tickets for $5 can be obtained by phone at 610-436-2266 or at the campus box office in the lower level of Sykes Student Union building.
Established in the spring 2002, "Research Day" hosts a wide selection of faculty and student oral, poster and video presentations on a broad range of research topics, as well as a display of recent faculty publications.

Mississippi 57, Wisconsin 46
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- No. 12 seed Mississippi withstood an off shooting day for most of the game from leading scorer Marshall Henderson to defeat fifth-seeded Wisconsin 57-46 in the second round of the NCAA tournament at Sprint Center.
Henderson, who came into the game averaging 20.1 points per game, scored 19 points, but on 6-of-21 shooting.
Henderson finally got untracked by hitting his first 3-point basket on his eight shot from behind the arc with 11:21 remaining in the game. He also hit his next 3-pointer, but finished 3-for-12 from long range.
But with Mississippi (27-8) clinging to a three-point lead with 2:49 remaining, Henderson drained a 35-footer with plenty of shot clock left to give the Rebels a comfortable cushion.
Henderson scored 17 of Mississippi's final 27 points.
The Rebels will face the winner of the No. 13 LaSalle vs. No. 4 Kansas State in Sunday's third round.
Neither team could muster much offense, mainly because of horrid shooting. The Rebels shot 39 percent, although they did connect on 48 percent in the second half. Wisconsin (23-12) hit only 25 percent of its shots.
The first half was back and forth, with the largest lead by either team four points before Sam Dekker of Wisconsin hit a 3-piont shot with 26 seconds remained in the half.
Mississippi answered with its own 3-point play to cut the halftime lead to 25-22.
The Badgers shot only 30 percent in the first half, while the Rebels connected on only 31 percent of their shots.
Wisconsin was led by Dekker, who scored 10 points in the first half. Reginald Buckner led Ole Miss with 7 points.
Henderson was held to two points on 1-of-11 shooting, including 0-of-4 from 3-point range.
NOTES: Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy reached 20 wins for the sixth time in his seven seasons in Oxford. The program had won 20 games seven times in the 96 seasons before Kennedy's arrival...The Rebels are making their seventh appearance in the NCAA tournament, and first in 11 years ... Wisconsin was appearing in its 15th straight NCAA tournament, and 20th overall. The Badgers won the championship in 1941. ... Kennedy (SEC) and Wisconsin's Bo Ryan (Big Ten) won their conference's coach-of-the-year honors.

This beautiful area is surrounding Chalets-Village's country homes.
"Stretching thirty kilometers from the Montmorency River to Cap Tourmente and nestled between the majestic St. Lawrence River and the southern slopes of the Laurentian mountains, La Côte-de-Beaupre is as much a product of its environment as of its inhabitants. Avenue Royale (the historic King's Highway), traverses the original parishes of L'Ange-Gardien, Château-Richer, Sainte-Anne-de Beaupre and Saint-Joachim, leading the visitor through an architectural treasure-trove of delightful old houses, fine churches and ancient mills.
Famed as the pilgrimage site of St. Anne, the region is also the
home of the world-class Mont Sainte-Anne ski resort and such renowned
parks as Montmorency Falls, Parc du Mont Sainte-Anne and Cap-Tourmente
National Wildlife Preserve Area. With little major industry except the
leading paper mill in Beaupre, La Côte-de-Beaupre, like neighboring
L'Île d'Orleans, enjoys a suburban lifestyle yet remains a heritage and
recreational gem. "
Cradled between
the river and the mountains, the M.R.C. (Regional Municipality) La Côte-de-Beaupré offers
unrivalled, unique attractions.
Our region will charm you!
Winding through it, is one of the oldest roads in North America: the Chemin du Roy( the King's Highway), today known as Avenue Royale. Don't miss the opportunity to venture along its path and discover an ancient thoroughfare strung with centuries-old houses and barns, sugar maple bushes, quaint chapels, outdoor bread ovens, like a necklace of priceless gems. Enjoy a sparkling rendez-vous with history and culture.
Although steeped in the richness of the past, the present and future remain at the heart of our plans. We are firmly committed to a diversified, dynamic economy led by the knowledge, skills and enthusiasm of our manufacturers, entrepreneurs, merchants, artists and craftsmen.
Nine (9) municipalities linked together, from West to East, form the Regional Municipality of La Côte-de-Beaupré: Boischatel, L'Ange-Gardien, Château-Richer, Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Beaupré, Saint-Joachim, Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague-du-Cap-Tourmente, Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges and Saint-Tite-des-Caps. While some of these names may already evoke very vivid images for you, each one has its own unforgettable cachet !
La Côte-de-Beaupré is, above all, an enchanting region profoundly connected to its extraordinary natural environment. It is an ideal place to live where open spaces, clean air, pure water, abounding flora and wildlife create a bountiful and inviting setting in any season. In the spring, our sugar shacks will delight your sweet tooth; in the summer, you will enjoy fishing, golfing, bike riding; in the autumn the exuberant colors of the forests and the massing of thousands of snow geese will captivate you; and in the winter enjoy the thrill of skiing, snowmobiling, crossing ice bridge over the grand St. Lawrence and much more.
Over the last thirty years, the region has developed high quality tourism, sports and woodland-recreational infrastructures which are today envied well beyond our borders:
Montmorency Falls Park overlooks the St. Lawrence River. This
magnificent waterfall is, in fact, 30 meters higher than Niagara Falls.
Our region is host to many major events that attract thousands of visitors and participants each year.

2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Preview
CHICAGO (Aug. 26, 2009) – Now only a week away, the 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship match will take place Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. Pitting defending champions D.C. United against the Seattle Sounders, the game promises to be an exciting conclusion to the nation's oldest annual team championship. The Sounders, the first expansion team to make the final since current U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley's 1998 Chicago Fire squad earned a title, will be trying to win their first U.S. Open Cup while D.C. United will be going for their third overall and second consecutive championship. Fans can watch the match live on Fox Soccer Channel.
Seattle Sounders FC, a former USL First Division club with an established soccer presence in the Pacific Northwest joined MLS this year as the league's 15th team. Their fan support has been well noted and is expected to break the MLS single-season record for attendance, currently held by the Los Angeles Galaxy with 28,916 in the league's first season.
Seattle's road to the Open Cup began with MLS play-in games, as only the top six MLS clubs from the previous regular season are automatically entered into the tournament. After victories against Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids, the Sounders clinched a spot in the third round of the tournament. Their first matchup happened to be against a former USL rival in the Portland Timbers, and the match was a highly charged affair with more than 16,000 in attendance, the highest total for a non-doubleheader, non-final game in U.S. Open Cup history. The Sounders advanced with goals from Roger Levesque and Stephen King, holding on for the 2-1 victory.

Their quarterfinal and semifinal games, however, were filled with late game heroics. Sebastian Le Toux finished an 89th minute penalty against the Kansas City Wizards to win 1-0 in the quarterfinals, while Nate Jaqua tied the semifinal match against the Houston Dynamo in the 89th minute to save the Sounders and send the match into overtime. In the 95th minute, Stephen King again provided the game winner that put the Sounders into a cup final in their first year as an MLS club.
D.C. United's route to their fourth U.S. Open Cup title game has taken a much less stressful path for the fans, though no less difficult for the team. The Black and Red began their quest to defend the 2008 championship by winning their MLS play-in games, joining Seattle as the two MLS clubs given third round berths. Since then, the champions have shown their pedigree by winning gritty, physical matches. Facing a 0-0 score deep in the second half of their third round game against the Ocean City Barons (PDL), it wasn't until a few rested D.C. United regulars came off the bench that the game was decided. Christian Gomez converted a 74th minute penalty before Ange N'Silu finished it off in the 90th minute for the 2-0 victory.

The quarterfinals saw United hang on for a 2-1 victory against the USL-2 Harrisburg City Islanders with first half goals by Boyzzz Khumalo and Andrew Jacobson leading the charge. Their semifinal match against the Rochester Rhinos (USL-1) proved to be the biggest test for the defending champions. Former Open Cup champions themselves, the Rhinos brought a physical game to the Maryland SoccerPlex. United took the lead into halftime with a 41st minute penalty conversion from Jaime Moreno, but Tai Atieno tied it up in the 68th minute. Several hard tackles later, a defensive miscue by Rochester allowed Christ Pontius to run in on goal with a breakaway. His shot was saved by Rhinos' goalkeeper Tim Melia, but the rebound was put in by Khumalo to bring the title game back to D.C. for the second year in a row.
Despite the obvious difference in club experience, Seattle has some key players that belie its status as an expansion team. They are led in the back by U.S. World Cup veteran Kasey Keller, who made a career overseas with clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the English Premier League and German Bundesliga, respectively. He started the year as the best 'keeper in Major League Soccer, opening Seattle's expansion campaign with four straight shutouts before his shutout streak ended at 457 minutes against the Chicago Fire on May 2. He currently sits third in MLS rankings with a 0.94 goals against average. Their midfield is run by former Swedish international and Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, who feeds the feet of Colombian Fredy Montero. Currently tied for second in goals scored in MLS with ten, the speedy Montero will no doubt cause problems for the United defense. Surrounded by energetic youngsters like Patrick Ianni, Steve Zakuani and Nate Jaqua, the Sounders have performed admirably well for an expansion team and are currently fourth in the Western Conference table.
At the other end of the spectrum sits D.C. United, the most decorated soccer club in the United States. They are winners of four MLS Cup titles, four MLS Supporters' Shields, and two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships, including last year's title. The club currently is tied for first with 34 goals scored this season. Led by captain and veteran Jaime Moreno, the Bolivian is the club leader in caps as well as the MLS-leader in career goals scored with 128. He returns to the title came along with last year's goal scorers Luciano Emilio (currently in the top-10 in goals scored this MLS season with eight) and Fred. Along with those international stars are U.S. 2006 FIFA World Cup veteran Ben Olsen, as well as Santino Quaranta who was part of the U.S. team that reached the final of this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup. With veterans such as these providing guidance to youngsters like Rodney Wallace and Chris Pontius, D.C. seems to have a squad built for continued success, even as they sit currently fifth in the Eastern Conference but within one point of Toronto and New England, who are tied for third.
With the MLS season coming into its final months, now is the first chance for both of these playoff contenders to earn their first trophy of the year. For Seattle, a victory will start them off on the right foot, while a D.C. United win will further cement their status as one of the most decorated teams in all of American sports.
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation's national championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. It is the oldest national annual tournament for team sports in U.S. history and among the oldest soccer tournaments of its type in the world. In 1999, the competition was renamed to honor long-time soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt.

Having problems with your Computer Utilities & Maintenance ?
How can i block certain website (mostely the torrent site)parentally. And prevent from downloading the torrent PERMANENTLY.
Answers :
I apply this parental control software for my home computer,it's smart,with it ,you can control, restrict and record access and usage of your PC. You can control how long, and when users are allowed to use the computer, prevent the use of specific programs, block access to certain websites, restrict access to Windows functions, and more. Hope this help.
I use TrendMicro (about $40/year for three machines). You have decent parental control with it. You may also use "Resticted Sites" settings in Internet Explorer but it may not be as secure for you. The TrendMicro software requires a password to allow settings to be changed...not sure about IE.

Re: State Supreme Court rules against Coleman Re: Minnesota
Posted by Charles G on Mon Jan 5 20:12:25 2009, in response to Re: State Supreme Court rules against Coleman Re: Minnesota, posted by SelkirkTMO on Mon Jan 5 19:29:42 2009.I don't know about grasping at straws.
Not to inject algebra into the equation, but if X is greater than Y then it would seem impossible to have X votes counted in a district where only Y people actually showed up to vote -- yet that is happening in 25 districts in Minnesota.
Things look statistically improbable from 30,000 feet as well. On election night, the race was a statistical dead heat --
Franken 1,211,359 vs Coleman 1,211,565. -- basically 50/50
The final tally was:
Franken 1,212,431 vs Coleman 1,212,206 -- again, basically 50/50
1,713 votes were added in the recount. Those added votes broke 63/37 in favor of Franken. How statistically unlikely is it that the added votes would have a breakdown so skewed from the overall total without political meddling?

Adam Franklin, formerly of shoegazer legends Swervedriver, is releasing his first solo effort under his own name. Set to premier on June 26th, Bolts of Melody draws less on the familiar sounds of Franklin's swirling psychedelic guitar and feedback-laden past, instead returning to more basic acoustic-driven songs with lyrics reminiscent of Elliott Smith.
Since the members of Swervedriver parted ways in 1999, Franklin has released six albums under the moniker Toshack Highway. Those albums featured music somewhat similar to the heavy, grunge-oriented space-pop of his former band with only some acoustic tracks scattered in. Franklin increasingly incorporated a simpler, folk-driven sound in later Toshack albums. Building on this trend, the majority of tracks on Bolts of Melody are acoustic. On "Shining Somewhere," Franklin sounds like his Hi-Speed Soul label-mates Nada Surf, or perhaps Heatmiser before Elliott Smith's departure in 1996. On other tracks, such as "Song of Solomon," Franklin and his sorrow-laden and soft-spoken lyrics channel the painfully shy Nick Drake. Franklin also pays tribute to one his heroes, the late Syd Barrett, former deranged singer of Pink Floyd, with the song "Syd's Eyes."

Andy Barr sworn in as Central Ky'.s new congressman
Republican Andy Barr was sworn in Thursday as representative for Central Kentucky's 6th Congressional District.
Barr, a Lexington attorney who ousted Democrat Ben Chandler from the seat in last November's general election, joined other members of the 113th Congress in reciting the oath of office under the leadership of House Speaker John Boehner just after noon.
Later, Barr and his family joined Boehner for a ceremonial repetition of the oath of office in the Rayburn room of the United States Capitol.
"I am honored by the opportunity to serve the people of Kentucky's 6th Congressional District and the faith they have placed in me," Barr said in a statement. "I will approach this job every day with a humble resolve to make a difference in their lives – guided by the steady hand of principle, inspired by the light of compassion, and energized by the genuine opportunities that still exist to build a stronger America for our children."
Barr said citizens in the district constantly remind him that, "We must get our nation's financial house in order and our economy back on track.
"In order to pursue tomorrow's dreams, we must firmly and finally confront the reality that too many Kentuckians are still out of work – and runaway spending pushes America closer to bankruptcy with every tick of the national debt clock."
–Jack Brammer
