When Gus Malzahn bolted from Arkansas State University, which had given him his first head coaching job, about this time last year, he nearly tripled his $850,000 salary, generous by the standards of most Arkansans who work for a living.
When Gus Malzahn bolted from Arkansas State University, which had given him his first head coaching job, about this time last year, he nearly tripled his $850,000 salary, generous by the standards of most Arkansans who work for a living.
One could hardly blame him, though; Auburn University offered a 5-year deal worth about $2.3 million annually.
That move made a lot of ASU football fans angry. But college football has become a big business, especially for coaches who can deliver victories, and Malzahn obviously can. His second team will play for a national championship, and Auburn has already rewarded him with a new 6-year contract worth about $3.85 million in the first year, with a built-in raise of $250,000 each year.
Most people who lead college students would gladly settle for the $250,000 a year.
Meanwhile, ASU could lose its head football coach for the third straight year as Boise State University suddenly has an opening and a native son, Brian Harsin, is apparently one of the top candidates. To discourage that sort of thing, ASU built into Harsin's $700,000 contract a buyout of $1.75 million for his first year, about $1 million more than Malzahn had.
Imagine that — a coach worth so much that another university might pay more than double his present salary just to hire him.
I love college football, but we must be losing our minds over this sport of amateurs to let the numbers get so out of sorts.
One organization that continues to do ground-breaking work on college athletic spending is the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, established in 1989 in response to a litany of scandals in college sports. Its work at least has caused the National Collegiate Athletic Association to adopt a rule that requires teams to try to graduate most of their players.
Last week, the commission announced a new online database that provides a wealth of information "to provide greater transparency for athletics finances and better measures to compare trends in academic and athletic spending."
Its financial data came from reports collected by USA Today from about 220 public institutions classified as Division I by the NCAA. All have a legal obligation to release the data. Private institutions are not included, and a few public universities in Pennsylvania, plus the military academies, are exempt.
The data covers 2005-2011, with the year designation meaning the academic and fiscal year ending on June 30, rather than the calendar year. Thus, 2011 refers to the year from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011. Data for 2012 will be added when NCAA reports are available.
A wealth of information is available on individual institutions, athletic conferences and Division I as a whole, broken down by Football Bowl Championship schools and those in the Football Championship Subdivision. You can get such information as academic spending per full-time equivalent student, academic spending per athlete, coaching salaries per athlete, football coaching salaries per football player, instructional spending per FTE student and total annual debt service on athletic facilities.
The database allows you to obtain both standardized and customized reports, in either graph or table format.
For example, I set up a customized report to compare football coaching salaries per football player in the Southeastern Conference, where the University of Arkansas competes. (By the way, coaching salaries include all compensation, including that from private sources, plus fringe benefits — i.e., whatever is reportable as income to the IRS.)
That median for all FBS schools has grown by 74 percent over the seven-year period — from $17,619 to $30,648. But in the SEC the median is much higher, $52,800, and has jumped by 117 percent.
Arkansas started out below average for its conference but has caught up and, in fact, now represents the mid-point for all schools. Yet its average is far behind Auburn's $94,688 and Florida's $81,017. SEC doormat Kentucky is at the bottom with $36,687, which perhaps says you get what you pay for.
A Knight Commission news release said that the growth of coaching salaries is a major factor in the overall growth of athletic spending, especially in the five richest conferences, including the SEC.
Of course, the cost of coaching salaries is just one part of athletic spending. I also did a chart to compare total athletic spending per athlete at UA and ASU. In that category for 2011, Arkansas again served as the conference median, $176,429, compared to $41,407 for ASU, which was in the bottom half of the Sun Belt Conference. The national median for all FBS schools was $96,948.
ASU's average for coaching salaries per athlete was only $10,700 that year, but its football coaching salaries were upgraded considerably after that.
When comparing academic spending per FTE student, we find a huge discrepancy. The national median for FBS schools in 2011 was $13,736, an increase of 24 percent over seven years. UA was at $12,706, slightly below the SEC median, while ASU was at $7,111, well below its conference median.
After all, who wants to watch a college student work a trigonometry problem?

I'm picking the Dolphins to beat the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Yes, I know. What am I thinking?
The Dolphins are in full freefall. There's a scandal. They're not responding on the field. They have injuries. A bad offensive line is worse. There are chemistry issues. And the home field advantage?
The fact of the matter is the Dolphins might get the smallest crowd of the season for this game. There might be fewer than 52,000 fans showing up for this one -- and a lot of those in attendance will be there to show their displeasure.
But I think the Chargers are flawed on offense (poor red zone offense) and defense (poor secondary and pas rush) and they did travel across country Friday evening to play the game. So I believe the Dolphins can pull one off.
Here are the keys to the game:
When the Dolphins pass the football: Remember when Mike Wallace said he was worried about not being in synch with quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Remember he said it wasn't yet time to panic but if the situation persisted past the eighth game of the season, then it was time to panic? It's time to panic. Wallace and Tannehill are not getting it done together because the QB has been inconsistent with his deep passing. Sometimes the ball is underthrown. Sometimes, like last week, it's thrown out of bounds. Tannehill has had no such problems throwing to Rishard Matthews, who last week was Miami's leading receiver. The chemistry between Matthews and Tannehill has been curious because the receiver hardly got any snaps until a couple of weeks ago when Brandon Gibson was injured. This is great for Matthews, who is playing above expectations. But the Dolphins paid $60 million for Mike Wallace. And for several reasons they are not getting a good return on their investment. As to the Chargers DBs … Methinks they'd love to have Antonio Cromartie back as the Chargers are 28th in the league against the pass. ADVANTAGE: Miami (only because Chargers are so bad).
When the Dolphins run the football: The Dolphins were on a nice little roll, with consecutive 150-yard rushing performances against New England and Cincinnati and then they hit a wall against Tampa Bay. They gained two yards against the Bucs. Six feet. It was the worst performance running the ball by an offense since 2007. The Dolphins have an opportunity for redemption because the Chargers allow an average of 4.8 yards per rush. That's No. 29 in the NFL. It stands to reason the Dolphins might be able to do some damage if only they do not abandon the run. Unfortunately for Miami, there have been multiple games this year when the team was solidly in the game and still offensive coordinator Mike Sherman went pass-happy to his team's detriment. So anything is possible. ADVANTAGE: Even.
When the Chargers run the football: Former Dolphins first round pick Ronnie Brown returns to Sun Life as the Chargers change-of-pace back. He is playing behind Ryan Matthews who so far this season is staying away from the injuries that have derailed him much of his career. The Chargers run the ball as a set-up to the pass. They are not a great running team as their No. 19 rush yards per game average proves. The Dolphins were once a prideful rush defense. In 2011 under a different coaching staff, they were No. 3 in rush defense. Last year they were No. 13 in rush defense and this year they're at No. 20. The Dolphins have given up more than 130 rushing yards in six of their nine games this season. ADVANTAGE: Even.
When the Chargers pass the football: Phillip Rivers is enjoying a renaissance this season. He's averaging 328 pass yards per game on road this season, which is the second-best mark behind Peyton Manning's 359.3. Rivers has completed 20-plus passes while completing at least 80 percent of passes in three games, tying for most such games in season in NFL history. Rivers has also feasted on Miami defenses in the past. Has passed for 300-plus yards in the past two games against Miami. He doesn't have the same receivers as in the past but tight end Antonio Gates is healthy and having a fine season. The Dolphins are again licking wounds in the secondary, as cornerback Dimitri Patterson's status for the game is questionable. ADVANTAGE: San Diego.
Special teams: The two teams trade edges in this category. The Chargers have a better field goal percentage and are better returning punts. The Dolphins are better on kickoff returns. The major difference is in the punting itself. Brandon Fields is among the league's best and his work has the Dolphins rated No. 7 in the NFL in net punting. The Chargers are rated No. 17. In a game where field position could be a major factor, this area could be key. ADVANTAGE: Miami.
Coaching: Joe Philbin beat out Mike McCoy for the Dolphins head coach job in January 2012. Philbin has since failed to win more than he's lost, is winless after byes, and his team often starts slow. McCoy is in his first season and is being credited for the resurrection of Phillip Rivers. Unfortunately the defense has regressed and the results so far aren't any better than what Norv Turner had. This is clearly a match up of giants. ADVANTAGE: Even.

We've seen the beginning of the clip but this is an extended version.
I don't get how the kid (Jaden Smith) could run away from a bunch of angry monkeys (who had evolved to kill humans). Wouldn't they overtake him within seconds?
So far, the action in 'After Earth' seems tailored for young kids despite being rated PG-13, and too simplistic for adults while being too swashbuckling for older teens.
Ads will have to get edgier if this is going to appeal to a broad audience, especially considering the competing movies, which all show more focus.
Opens May 31 against 'Now You See Me', 'Byzantium', and 'Epic', with 'Fast & Furious' still a draw in its 2nd week.

Wenger, Geörg (d. 1591)
Geörg Wenger (George Wagner in van Braght's Martyrs' Mirror), an Anabaptist martyr, who was beheaded in 1591 at Lorentz in the Puster Valley in Tyrol, Austria, after he had been imprisoned more than a year. In spite of torture he refused to betray his brethren, and all attempts to convert him to the Catholic faith failed. He was sentenced to death for leaving the Roman Catholic Church, practicing a different baptism, and leading others to his heretical sect. When the sentence was read he replied that it was not a heretical sect that he belonged to, but the divine truth and the right way to the kingdom of God. Many followed to the site of execution, and many wept. He asked that his hands be untied that he might raise them in praise to God and to pray for strength to the end. Wolkan includes a song written in commemoration of his death and that of Jacob Platzer, "Ihr Liebhaber der Wahrheit guet, lassts euch erzählen mit freiem Muet." John Horsch mentions three epistles written by him.

Michael Jackson's three children have adjusted well to living with their grandmother three months after their father's stunning death, a Los Angeles judge ruled.
LA Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said he is "very pleased" with the findings of a report that documents how the kids are faring under their grandmother's care and following their father's June death, according to the New York Daily News.
"It looks like the children are really doing wonderfully with their grandmother guardian," Beckloff said during a Friday hearing.
Grandmother Katherine Jackson was granted custody of her son's three children -- Prince Michael 12, Paris, 11 and Prince II, 7 -- shortly after the King of Pop died.
The judge appointed the grandmother as the kids' guardian in August and asked he be briefed on their condition. Jackson receives $60,000 from her son's estate to help care for the children.
Jackson indicated in his 2002 will that he wanted his mother to take care of his children in the event of his death.

Sizing up the Army All-American rosters
SAN ANTONIO - Heading into next Saturday's U.S. Army All-American Bowl, both the East and West teams are loaded with talent on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. However, these games usually come down to quarterback play and gamebreakers, and on paper the West squad seems to have the edge led by speedster Randall Carroll and the nation's No. 1 prospect, Rueben Randle.
Randle, a 6-foot-3, 195-pounder who plays quarterback in high school, is as dynamic a playmaker as you'll find in the class of 2009. The Bastrop (La.) High star will line up at his future college position at wideout and will be hard to handle for the East defensive backs. Throw in Carroll, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound blur from Los Angeles Cathedral who can make opponents look foolish from the slot, and you have an amazing 1-2 punch for a potent West offense.
Randle and Carroll aren't the only talented wideouts on the West team. Macon (Miss.) Noxubee County standout Patrick Patterson, Gadsden (Ala.) Gadsden City star Kendall Kelly and Inglewood (Calif.) High wide receiver Shaquelle Evans are all big, physical targets and potential matchup problems.
The quarterbacks on the West lucky enough to throw the ball to this talented group of receivers are led by Mobile (Ala.) St. Paul's gunslinger AJ McCarron and Mission Viejo (Calif.) High signal caller Allan Bridgford while Sulphur Springs (Texas) High dual-threat Tyrik Rollison will be difficult to keep in the pocket.
The East counters with some talented defensive backs led by five-star cornerback Darius Winston from West Helena (Ark.) Central and the top two players from the state of Ohio in safeties Jamie Wood from Pickerington (Ohio) Central and Justin Turner from Massillon (Ohio) Washington. However, aside from Winston there isn't a lot of size on the corner and Michael Carter from Pompano Beach (Fla.) Ely and Justin Green from Louisville (Ky.) Male could struggle with the bigger receivers. Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway star Corey Brown could play defensive back and be pressed into service at corner because of his 6-1 frame.
It will be up to the East defensive line to get pressure on the West quarterbacks to help the secondary. Five-star defensive tackle William Campbell from Detroit Cass Tech will need to provide a big push up the middle while rush ends Ryne Giddins from Seffner (Fla.) Armwood, Donte Moss from Jacksonville (N.C.) Northside and Florence (S.C.) West Florence star Malliciah Goodman will need to get pressure off the edge and contain Rollinson when he's in the game.
The West offensive line, at least on paper, looks up to the task when it comes to protecting the quarterback. Foley (Ala.) High five-star D.J. Fluker and Slidell (La.) Northshore tackle Chris Faulk anchor the outside while San Bernardino (Calif.) Arroyo Valley Michael Philipp leads things up the middle. In addition to giving the quarterbacks time to pass, the offensive line will also try to open up holes for massive backs Christine Michael from Beaumont (Texas) West brook and Chris Whaley from Madisonville (Texas) High and slasher Cierre Wood from Oxnard (Calif.) Santa Clara.
The East linebackers will be charged with keeping the running game in check. Five-star Dorian Bell from Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway is a tackling machine as is Wellington (Fla.) Palm Beach Central 'backer Jon Bostic, but both are a bit vertically challenged. Pawling (N.Y.) Trinity Pawling linebacker Shayne Skov has the size to support the run and the quickness to drop in coverage and could be the key for the East defense.
On the offensive side of the ball, it appears that the running game and short passing game could be the strength of the East squad. Wichita (Kan.) Wichita East running back Bryce Brown is the top player at his position in the nation and Oak Park (Mich.) High back Edwin Baker and Monticello (Miss.) Lawrence County Kendrick Hardy both run with great leverage. Sumter (S.C.) High all-purpose back Roderick McDowell will likely be utilized in the passing game and Lynchburg (Va.) Brookville tight end Logan Thomas is a matchup nightmare for anyone at 6-6 and 233 pounds.
The West linebackers will have their hands full with Thomas and the running backs but it's hard to find a better combination than Corona (Calif.) Centennial monster Vontaze Burfict and Andalusia (Ala.) High star Nico Johnson who are both at least 6-2 and weigh more than 225 pounds. However, Brown and McDowell will be hard to check and if Thomas is utilized properly in the slot, the flat and middle of the field could be open.
When trying to get the ball downfield, the East will rely on East St. Louis (Ill.) High wideout Kraig Appleton, Philadelphia (Pa.) Northeast star Je'Ron Stokes and Apopka (Fla.) High waterbug Jeremy Gallon out of the slot. They'll be checked by huge cornerbacks Dre Kirkpatrick from Gadsden (Ala.) Gadsden City and Gabe Lynn from Jenks (Okla.) High and the deep middle will be patrolled by Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne safety Byron Moore and Ventura (Calif.) St. Bonaventure athlete Patrick Hall The secondary looks to be the strength of the West defense.
The play of the East quarterbacks will be the key for the East team. Two of them, Tampa (Fla.) Plant's Aaron Murray and Hampton (Va.) Phoebus standout Tajh Boyd will be less than 100-percent going in. Murray is recovering from a broken fibula and dislocated ankle while Boyd will be playing with a torn ACL. The other two quarterbacks, Chatham (Va.) Hargrave dual-threat Kevin Newsome and Springfield (Pa.) Cardinal O'Hara signal-caller Tom Savage could end up getting more reps as a result.
With the mobility of Murray and Boyd limited and with Savage's strength as a pocket passer, plenty of pressure will be on the East offensive line. Tackle Morgan Moses from Richmond (Va.) Meadowbrook and LaGrange (Ga.) Troup guard Chris Burnette are excellent run blockers and Fayetteville (N.C.) Jack Britt tackle Xavier Nixon and Naples (Fla.) High stud Nick Alajajian are both polished technicians. They will try to keep massive tackles Jamarkus McFarland from Lufkin (Texas) High and Chris Davenport out of Mansfield (La.) High from blowing up the middle and defensive end Alex Okafor out of Pflugerville (Texas) High from getting around the edge. And watch out for five-star Sheldon Richardson from St. Louis (Mo.) Gateway who could play tackle or end. The West defensive line has the size advantage, but the East offensive line is agile.
In the end, this game will come down to which team can keep its quarterbacks clean and which playmakers can bust loose and make a difference. On paper at least it appears that the West has the clear advantage in that department.

It is said that Christians are being martyred for their faith more frequently than ever before in human history. All over the world, in countries run by kings, tyrants and dictators, it is dangerous to be a Christian. It is common for family members to turn their own children or spouse into the religious police for discipline when they find out that he or she has become a Christian.
I love words and catchy phrases. I especially like the following letter from a man named Robert Pirosh applying for a job requiring verbal skills.
We were looking through pictures taken at a writer's conference I recently attended.
"She has really nice hair," hubby remarked about my friend Jill.
"Isn't it gorgeous?" I responded. "It's like pure, black silk. She said her mom is Native American."
"What tribe?" he asked.
I gave him my best "are you serious?" look. Only a boy who has grown up on a reservation would even think to ask that question.
Thank you to Baptist Health
My husband was admitted to Baptist Hospital Northeast in La Grange on Dec. 10, 2013 for congestive heart failure. He spent six days in the hospital. I'm writing this letter to let you know how wonderful we were treated during his stay.
The doctors, nurses, aides, lab and x-ray technicians and cafeteria staff were outstanding. They were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and acted in a professional manner at all times. The dietician spent a lot of time with me, planning a future diet for my husband.
In general, I'm totally against sexist statements and forcing people into stereotypical gender roles. But every now and then, I succumb to this antiquated way of thinking.
Recently, we went to our trusty salesman at the Ford dealership and told him we were in the market for a pickup truck. While he was checking inventory, hubby got to looking around the showroom. He was especially drawn to a somewhat sissified version of an SUV. The color he fancied was burnt orange.
I recently listed all of my values. I was surprised by the number of them. I would encourage you to write down all the values you hold dear. Then select the five most important values from the list. See how your list compares with mine.
Five days from now, registered voters in this county will have a chance to exercise one of their most important rights, the right to vote.
And every year about this time, newspapers across the county feature editorials, columns, etc., preaching on why you should go vote. You can probably count this column as one of those as well.
But in a county like Oldham, consistently ranked as one of the most wealthy, most healthy and best educated, voting should be a foregone conclusion.
People run for different reasons: to lose weight, to relieve stress, to compete. Last month, some 36,000 runners ran for all those reasons, plus one: to show America's oldest marathon could not be stopped by an act of terrorism.
The courage of those 264 people who were injured, many of them losing their own ability to walk or run, not to mention the courage of those who died, certainly added to the inspiration each Boston Marathon runner felt this year.
One of the powerful scriptures that people like to quote is from Romans 8:28. It reads, "…We know that in all things God works for the good." Like the Bible verse that says, "God never gives you more than you can handle," these verses comfort people in times of challenge. The problem is one is incomplete and the other is not in the Bible, and neither, as they are printed, are true.
We all need to become more comfortable with exploring our inner world. Persons who have never learned to feel comfortable in their internal world become hamstrung in managing their lives. They may sell out and give over their personhood to some influential person or group of persons. They give up on being who they truly are.
Paying attention to your internal world is vital to your attainment of soul-satisfying contentment. I want to give you a plan for increasing your internal awareness. Here are five specific suggestions for achieving greater internal awareness.
I recently had lunch with a friend who shared concerns about his daughter's school struggles. "Why are junior high girls so mean? Seventh grade is like introductory level petty."
Sign defacing
It's election time and political signs are being installed around the county and . . . the jerks are back. Who are these creeps? They are the ones who deface, pull-out and steal the signs.
While having personally experienced the hoodlums in the past, it was disappointing to have seen two of Judge-Executive Voegele's signs defaced. Since the vandals sneak around in darkness, like thieves in the night, only the result of their actions are seen.
In James 5:16 we read, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." As Christians we are to desire righteousness, that is, we are to live lives as holy as we can. We recognize we will never be free from sin, but we make no excuses. The more we are able to do this the more powerful and effective our prayers will be. I want powerful and effective prayers. What about you?

One of the best things about being an "opinionist" is that I get to tell people what I think. On the other hand, it's easy to offer an opinion, and I appreciate that even the most abject failure in a campaign for public office is more courageous than I. That being said, here are my thoughts on the primary election coming up on May 20. My conclusions are based on conversations and responses from most of the candidates.

I have known Jon for several years as a business man and served with him as a founding Board Member of the Oldham County Community Foundation. Jon understands the concerns of business owners in Oldham County and will be a great asset to Oldham County Fiscal Court as a Magistrate. Jon also understands the many needs in our county by having served on our Community Foundation Board and having lived here for over 28 years.
When my sisters and I were growing up, my mom saw only two possible life paths for us. We were either going to be bank robbers or achieve something significant that would get us invited to the White House. There was no average life on the agenda for me. I was going to jail or having dinner with the President. (Note: In those days, moms hadn't yet learned to say to their little girls, "Someday you could be President." The pinnacle of a girl's achievement was simply being invited to dinner with him.)
There's a mountain in the heart of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands that is one of the wettest places on the earth. It almost never stops raining. It's absolutely beautiful in the surrounding areas, but can you imagine what it would be like if that's all there was, weather-wise? Try telling a ski enthusiast that snow is bad or a windsurfer that we can do without wind. It's all necessary and it's all perfect in its own way.
How many times in any given day do you meet a jerk? Some people seem to go out of their way to be difficult, demanding, conflict-oriented, hostile or even obnoxious. How many seem to be such poor listeners that you wonder if you're being heard at all? Some individuals even get a thrill out of threatening people with frivolous lawsuits.

If you read any cocktail blogs other than this one (and, by God, you really should), you already know this is Repeal Day, the seventy-third anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition.
To celebrate, I dove into a vintage cocktail book, Robert Vermeire's Cocktails: How to Mix Them, which first appeared in print in Great Britain in 1922, when the untied states were in the middle of their crazy delusion called Prohibition. I thought it would be fun to find a recipe that was current during that period.
Because Dewar's has had so much fun marketing its blended scotch to Repeal Day celebrants, I thought it would be fun to drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak, and have some Dewar's.
So I looked through Vermeire for a new scotch cocktail and found the Thistle (pictured above). Vermeire calls for 1/6 gill of Italian vermouth, 2/6 gills of scotch, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Although I normally translate his gills into the exact number of ounces (1 gill is 4 oz., so 1/6 gill is approx. 3/4 oz.), in this case, I simply used 1 part vermouth to 2 parts scotch, plus the bitters.
So, my recipe:
- 2 oz. Dewar's White Label scotch
- 1 oz. Cinzano Italian vermouth
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Lemon twist, for garnish
Technique: Fill a metal shaker with ice. Pour scotch, vermouth, and bitters over ice. Stir until shaker frosts over. Strain into chilled cocktail glasses. Add garnish.


text: To Till or Not to Till February 11, 2012 10:52 AM Tweet Many no-till farmers rotate crops and herbicide mode of action to help prevent problems with herbicide-resistant weeds. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email By Alan Goforth Producers who are sold on less tillage are beginning to tangle with resistance issues Variety is said to be the spice of life, and it also might be the key to herbicide resistance management in no-till fields. The agronomic and economic benefits of no-till production have been well documented. Despite having fewer herbicide and cultural options than in conventional tillage, no-till producers have been able to maintain an acceptable level of weed control. However, a recent increase in the number of confirmed herbicide resistance cases is raising concern among farmers and others. "Resistance is a concern anywhere you are using glyphosate," says Mark Watson, a farmer and education coordinator for the Nebraska Panhandle No-till Partnership. "I haven't seen resistance on my farm, but I am concerned about people who are planting both Roundup Ready corn and sugar beets." Blake Hurst of Westboro, Mo., and his family have been growing no-till corn and soybeans for at least 20 years. They are also keeping an eye on the potential for resistance. "The biggest challenge is resistant pigweed, and resistant waterhemp likely is coming our way," Hurst says. "My brother farms 20 acres at our local airport, which is continuous soybeans because the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] won't let him plant corn. He is noticing that waterhemp is becoming harder to control." Some no-till producers are reluctantly adding various levels of cultivation to battle resistant weeds. Watson and Hurst believe they can keep any problems below a low economic threshold through diversity, both in their crop rotation programs and in their choice of herbicides. Break the cycle. The strategy behind crop rotation is to break the cycle of glyphosate-resistant crops. "In our area, we have a fairly broad crop-rotation program," Watson says. "Where we can get into trouble is with multiple glyphosate applications in the same season. On our farm, we rotate wheat with corn and field peas. We use Roundup Ready just a few times over the course of three years." By contrast, northwestern Missouri is pretty much corn and soybean country. "Adding a different rotation crop such as wheat is a good practice," Hurst says. "But we don't use it in our rotation because our growing season is too short to double-crop. "Some of the most effective herbicides need to be incorporated, so we can't use them," he says. "We are still planting Roundup Ready soybeans, but we plant LibertyLink corn or use conventional herbicides. The best advice is to rotate your chemistry." Hurst intends to follow this approach unless he runs into problems with resistant weeds that can't be managed except with tillage. No-till fields never have the same level of weed control as conventional fields, but he feels the practice makes up for it in lower production costs and healthier soils. "In some years we see a yield drag from weeds, but in other years, such as those that are wet, no-till saves us time and lets us get in the field a week earlier," he says. Know your options. Keep in mind that no-till doesn't have to mean no cultural options. Practices such as row-width selection and residue manage-ment can also help control weeds. "A reliance on technology to keep your fields weed-free places too much pressure on these technologies and sets you up for problems down the road, such as herbicide-resistant weed populations," Watson says. "Remember to use cultural practices as a front-line defense against weed populations, and use herbicides to help control the weeds that persist despite good management," he says. Back to news


text: Thursday, October 20, 2011 Medicare Issues Final Rule on Accountable Care Organizations Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the highly anticipated final rule for the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). ACOs are groups of physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers, who will form 1 entity to voluntarily provide coordinated care to Medicare patients. In the final rules, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) discusses the extensive comments that it received from stakeholders regarding the proposed rule released in April of this year. As a result of those comments, CMS has made several revisions to the final rule. Of note, the final rule: Significantly minimizes the ACO risk-sharing in losses and increases the amount of minimum savings that can be shared among ACO providers and suppliers. Reduces the proposed 65 quality reporting measures around 5 domains to 33 measures around 4 domains. Phases in the quality measures from a performance basis over the 3-year period of the ACO agreement. Adds Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics to the list of providers eligible to both form and participate in an ACO. Removes requirements that the ACO meet the electronic health record (EHR) meaningful use requirements and instead adds EHR capabilities to the list of quality measures. Requires that ACOs be notified in advance of the Medicare patient population assigned to the ACO. The final rule mandates that MSSP ACO applications will be accepted beginning January 1, 2012. The first ACO agreements will start on or after April 1, 2012, and July 1, 2012. ACOs must report quality measures for calendar year 2013 to qualify for first performance year shared savings. Second, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation released its Advance Payment Model, which will advance ACOs a portion of their future shared savings to aid in supporting physician-owned and rural ACOs with up-front costs for infrastructure and investments. Third, in concert with the MSSP rulemaking, CMS and the HHS Office of the Inspector General released an interim final rule with comment addressing waivers of certain provisions of the Stark, anti-kickback, and civil money penalties laws in consideration of ACOs. Lastly, the Federal Trade Commission in partnership with the Department of Justice released a final statement on the enforcement of the anti-trust law as it relates to ACOs, and the Internal Revenue Service released a fact sheet to provide guidance to tax-exempt organizations that form ACOs. APTA will be analyzing all of these proposed rules over the coming weeks and providing summaries and several resources to members on the impact of ACOs on physical therapy. To read APTA's comments on the proposed rule or to find out more about ACOs visit APTA's ACO Resource Center. Comments It is great that APTA is getting in on the ACO action. Pysical Threapists - especially those in Private practice need to be educated on ACOs for they will definitely play a big role in them. APTA is surely working for us. We wait for more updates. Posted by Frank O. Ezeh,P.T on 10/21/2011 7:25 PM The Final Rule significantly sweetens the pot and reduces the risk for ACO participants but doesn't change the underlying paradigm - hospitals and physician practices are set up to maximize profits by delivering procedures. MORE procedures will not necessarily create MORE health and deliver on the (now) 33 quality measures, such as HbA1c < 7% or recording (and then changing) smoking status. My top referring primary care doc prefers to zap hemmorrhoids with a laser than to counsel obese patients or provide smoking cessation advice. What's a bigger driver of health outcomes? Hemorrhoids or obesity? Hospital executives place Wellness Program LAST in their ACO prepartion list - just because they can't figure out how to get paid for KEEPING people better. http://tinyurl.com/62q8hmu Tim Posted by Tim Richardson, PT on 10/22/2011 5:28 PM Thank you APTA for working for us. I am in the School-base. I want to connect with anybody in this area and share their expertise. Thanks Angelica Posted by Rosa Angelica Perez on 10/24/2011 3:42 AM

D-backs hurlers, Army specialist find similarities
If not for the convincing argument from his father, who was a Marine, Heath Bell says there's a pretty good chance he would have ended up in the military himself. Instead, he's forged a 10-year All-Star career in baseball.
But that doesn't mean the two entities -- military and baseball -- don't coincide still in his life.
If not for the convincing argument from his father, who was a Marine, Heath Bell says there's a pretty good chance he would have ended up in the military himself. Instead, he's forged a 10-year All-Star career in baseball.
But that doesn't mean the two entities -- military and baseball -- don't coincide still in his life.
"My dad was a Marine and he talked me out of being a Marine in high school and in junior college," Bell said. "He told me to stick with baseball and try that. It's worked out a little bit."
Bell, along with fellow D-backs relievers Brad Ziegler and Josh Collmenter, met individually with Old Guard Soldier of the Year Spc. Michael Sands when the D-backs visited Nationals Park in Washington to play the Nationals in June. They each shared some stories of experiences in their respective fields, talked about their families and played catch before Sands took some batting practice prior to the game.
"I can relate," Sands said of the trio's life in the bullpen. "We can get called any day, 365 [days of the year]. We always have to be ready, there's no excuses. Gotta come out, perform and do your job."
While the responsibilities may differentiate immensely, the similarities between Sands and the D-backs relievers didn't end there.
Like Bell, Collmenter talked to Sands about his ties to the Marine Corps. Collmenter's youngest brother just recently finished four years of service in the Marines before re-enlisting for another four. Likewise, Sands shared that he also has younger siblings who serve in the Marines and the Army.
"I know what it's like to not see these people. For me it's been several months at a time," Sands said. "One of them I went a year and a half without seeing. I know how it goes. With family, that's really tough -- not seeing your wife, your fiancée, your kids."
Along with not seeing his brothers for extended periods of time, Sands has a fiancée whom he doesn't see for upward of three to four months at a time. While he is stationed in Fort Myer in Virginia, she is working toward completing her degree in Chicago.
Ziegler, who supports the military through his Pastime for Patriots foundation, assured Sands that the sacrifice of both he and his loved ones does not go unnoticed. The foundation, which was originally designed to give baseball tickets to families of soldiers who were overseas, has since developed into much more.
Now, it also helps put on events like baby showers for pregnant military wives whose husbands have been delayed. It also contributes to scholarship funds for students whose parents have been killed in service.
"We're all about supporting the troops and we'll get involved with care packages and stuff like that, but we also want to make sure the families at home are not forgotten as well," Ziegler said. "We understand they're making a huge sacrifice in dealing with their loved one, who's overseas risking their life every day for our freedom."
Sands is currently an infantryman, but plans to become a non-commissioned officer. He then hopes to be accepted into the Army Green to Gold Active Duty Program, a two-year program that provides eligible active-duty soldiers with the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degree or two-year master's degree and be commissioned as an Army officer upon completion.
If all goes well, Sands can realistically achieve those goals within the next three or four years. Similar to the life of a Major Leaguer, though, Sands has no way of knowing where he will end up or what he will be doing four years down the road.
"With the Old Guard and with the Army, you have to be flexible and ready for everything to change," Sands told Collmenter. "A phone call could come in, your orders can come down, 'You've got to miss this class here' or 'Your unit is deploying here.' Just do the best you can and -- just like baseball -- anything can happen, so you've always got to be ready."

You should check the documentation that comes with ADDM. See these links for starters:
This will give you a very good understanding of log files that are used in ADDM. Also how to increase the logging level etc. Also create an account for yourself on docs.bmc.com if you havent done that already. A few links there which will be of your interest:
2. ADDM LogsBrice-Emmanuel Loiseaux Apr 23, 2012 7:34 AM (in response to Prabhat Handoo)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Please use the latest (ADDM 8.3) version of the documentation.
There is also some sections about troubleshooting and many other topics you can search using the left-hand side "Space Search" area (just type in few keywords and you will get some instant suggestions).
Finally it is recommended for a beginner (but not only) to go through the Community Enablement Tutorials.
3. ADDM LogsShalini NameToUpdate Apr 23, 2012 10:26 AM (in response to Brice-Emmanuel Loiseaux)
Thank you both for your Help
I am seeing many Currently processing runs having status as "on Hold".
What are the steps / checklist to identify the issues behind same? How to debug that and complete process.
Wating for response.
4. ADDM LogsBrice-Emmanuel Loiseaux Apr 23, 2012 12:22 PM (in response to Shalini NameToUpdate)
Go and have a look to Stalled discovery runs (this is the first proposed link if you type "hold" on the "Search Space" right-hand field).
The simplest case is that you started some scheduled runs but the scan window is too small to finish discovering all the target IPs. See Controlling discovery for an explanation of the "Duration" parameter of scheduled scan run as well as Configuring Discovery scanning setting for a explanation of the "Minimum time before end of window to avoid starting new scheduled discovery operations" parameter.
5. ADDM LogsShalini NameToUpdate Apr 23, 2012 2:23 PM (in response to Brice-Emmanuel Loiseaux)
Thank you for the suggestion.
But my question here is those schedule runs were success in the last one month and only on hold in the last couple of dates. So is this some kind of performance Issue.. if so what are the steps to debug that..
And I havnt change any schedules runs till now...
6. ADDM LogsBrice-Emmanuel Loiseaux Apr 23, 2012 3:30 PM (in response to Shalini NameToUpdate)
So you confirm that the scheduled runs are on hold because they are not able to finish their job within the scan window, although they were able to do so some time ago.
Which ADDM version do you use? What kind of slow down have you observed on your scheduled discovery runs duration (please provide some examples)? Did you also observed other performance degragation?
Please have a look to the blog post "Does reasoning slow down?". It describes one of the main issue addressed by ADDM 8.3 SP2. It might address yours.
7. ADDM LogsShalini NameToUpdate Apr 24, 2012 8:28 AM (in response to Brice-Emmanuel Loiseaux)
Thank you Brice for swift response.
We are using 8.2 ADDM.
What are the steps to check that all you mentioned above? What exactly do we need to look into log?
Does ADDM maintain any type of cahce that we need to clear on regular basis ? If so does it have any Impact on currently onHold scans?
8. Re: ADDM LogsShalini NameToUpdate Apr 24, 2012 1:17 PM (in response to Shalini NameToUpdate)
Is it right to restart the Appliance? Does it have any impact on Currently onHold Scans ?
Please suggest...
9. ADDM LogsLisa Keeler Apr 24, 2012 10:04 AM (in response to Shalini NameToUpdate)
It is OK to restart the Appliance. It might help performance of your discoveries since you are using ADDM 8.2.
To speed up your discoveries, since you noticed a slowdown, you can increase your DB Cache size, up to 1/2 the size of RAM available on your appliance.
To change your DB Cache size:
Click Administration -> Model Maintenance -> Cache Size
The default is 1GB. If your RAM size is 8G, then maybe try setting your DB Cache Size to 3gig or 4gig.
You must restart your appliance after setting the Cache Size for the appliance to use the new value.
The default DB Cache size was increased to 1/2 the size of RAM in ADDM 8.3.2:
10. Re: ADDM LogsShalini NameToUpdate Apr 24, 2012 2:26 PM (in response to Lisa Keeler)
Thank you Lisa for Help
Do we have any checklist that can be verify against our ADDM for improving performance?

Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standards cover services that allow interoperability between content stores. These standards cover the three basic areas of Content Management Systems:
CMS basic operations - CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update and delete) services, versioning and workflow
Content discovery - query services, search including a SQL like query
Domain model – object types, folder hierarchy, document, relationship and access rules
Previous interoperability proposals such as JSR 170⁄283 have not gained traction because they were purely Java based and were too function rich, forcing the vendors to make substantial investments with little or no market driven need. Another standard WEBDAV, was too simple and relied solely on HTTP protocol, it had no concepts of content types or content relationships.
CMIS supports both a SOAP based interface and REST based interface, the latter is much easier to implement. Last month EMC, Microsoft, IBM and Alfresco were able to implement a draft CMIS and test it on Sharepoint/Documentum/Filenet and Alfresco.
The proposed CMIS query supports SQL like terms and clauses such as SELECT, FROM, WHERE and CONNECT by clause. The query can include based terms and clauses based on content metadata and property such as size, date etc. Example query:
_SELECT * FROM DOCUMENT WHERE ((CONTENT_STREAM_MIMETYPE = 'MSWORD') AND (CONTAINS 'Razorfish'))
This new draft CMIS standard creates a clear firewall between applications and content stores. It will cut application development and integrations costs, and eliminate time learning vendor specific content access APIs. Imagine being able to design an application that can access and manipulate content from any content and change the underlying content store by merely changing an entry in some property file. For the vendors the outlook may be murky initially, it is possible that the number of competing CMS/ECM products may shrink. Nevertheless, the market penetration of CMS products will increase dramatically and CMS/ECM may be as ubiquitous as databases. Microsoft's involvement brings up the possibility that all MS Office products may support direct check in/check out from CMIS based repositories.
The CMIS draft was submitted in September '08 to the standards body OASIS for public comment. It is expected to be approved by middle of 2009. The draft is also being backed by Oracle and SAP.
The draft may be accessed here as a zip.

McCutchen hoping to serve as an inspiration
For most, Thanksgiving is a holiday.
For Andrew McCutchen, giving thanks is a way of life.
For most, Thanksgiving is a holiday.
For Andrew McCutchen, giving thanks is a way of life.
The National League's newly crowned Most Valuable Player Award winner feels he now has the pedestal for giving back to an entire race.
McCutchen feels a responsibility to give young African-American athletes a model to follow and an accessible dream to chase -- just the way he himself had been inspired by the hip baseball icon of an earlier era.
McCutchen was a young, impressionable teen when Ken Griffey Jr.'s star shined brightest.
"He's someone I wanted to emulate, someone I wanted to be like," McCutchen said. "He was definitely a big influence on myself when it came to playing the game and choosing baseball. I feel like I can be an influence in that."
McCutchen sensed the importance of that even without awareness of a sobering fact: The most recent World Series between the Cardinals and the Red Sox was the first without a black player at bat or on the mound since 1950 (Boston's Quintin Berry, the only African-American player on either team's roster, did make one appearance as a pinch-runner).
African-Americans comprised 8.5 percent of 2013 Opening Day rosters. That demographic peak was 19 percent in 1986 -- the year McCutchen was born.
An exceptional multi-sport athlete at Fort Meade High School, McCutchen followed Griffey's example when he came to the fork in his career road. He hopes to give black youth the same swerve away from football or basketball.
"I definitely think I can be a big influence on letting kids, not only African-American kids, know that you can go out, you can have fun, you can be yourself. You don't have to be a certain weight, you don't have to be a certain height [to play baseball]," McCutchen said. "You can go out and you can play the game. If you can pick up a bat and you can swing it, you have a chance. I think I can be a big part of that.
"Baseball and the players' union [Major League Baseball Players Association], they're doing things to try to expand the game and give knowledge to kids and show them that baseball is fun, baseball is a great sport to play, and they're doing everything they can to spread that word. I'm going to do everything that I can to spread it with them."
McCutchen should be able to do a lot, as the first African-American to be the MVP in the NL since Jimmy Rollins won in 2007. The last in the American League was Griffey in 1997.
"I think it's huge that McCutchen is one of the faces of Major League Baseball," Cliff Floyd, a former player who now works for MLB Network, told the New York Times. "I think that's going to help. When you look at this game, we know the percentages. In my opinion, the only way to change that is to have guys like McCutchen step up and win MVPs. That's the only way you're going to see this game get back to the point where African-Americans believe this is a great game."
McCutchen can be influential just by being himself: Garrulous, personable, playing the game with an obvious exuberance and joy. It's infectious. There is a lot there to emulate. And to an extent that blows up the self-serving image of the modern athlete, he is a giving person.
To his parents, McCutchen gives gratitude for the encouragement and support to rise above his humble beginnings in a modest Fort Meade, Fla., shack.
To the less fortunate, McCutchen gives help, through his committed work with Habitat for Humanity and various branches of Pirates Charities. McCutchen has been Habitat's Greater Pittsburgh spokesman for two years, and recently hosted a fundraiser at the Roberto Clemente Museum in Lawrenceville that netted $90,000.
To rudder-less inner city youth, he gives direction, through his signature "Cutch's Crew" mentoring program.
To Pirates fans, he long ago gave hope, on which he and his teammates began delivering in 2013.
This summer, he gave funds through Pirates Charities to pay for a musical education trip to Prague, Czech Republic, by a Homewood-Brushton YMCA group. In October, he gave the cut from his NIKE equipment deal to outfit a Florida softball team after the 12-year-old girls had reportedly been ripped off by a uniform supplier.
At last weekend's American Music Awards, McCutchen and actress Jaime Alexander presented the award for Favorite Male Country Music Artist.
The celebrity of the face of the Bucs keeps spreading at viral speed. For months, he was also the face of the MLB 13 The Show video game. Now he reigns as NL MVP. In the near future, he will co-produce an edgy joint MLB-MTV venture.
Rather than pull back as the increased exposure compounds demands on him, McCutchen complies. He always appears to be hosting groups of kids at PNC Park events, or stepping up for various meet-and-greet functions which compel teammates to follow.
He has always led by example. Now he hopes his lead will be followed by a generation.

Rear shock for 1-3" of suspension lift. Shock extended measures 22.58" and compressed 13.71". This is the shock we recommend with most of our kits. It gives a great street ride and still is firm enough for most off-roaming. Skyjacker Softride Hydro Shocks feature Hydraulic action, multi-stage velocity sensitive valving, 5/8 inch diameter hardened double chrome rod, internal rebound bumper, oversize piston head, tough polyurethane bushings, variable resistance, and expanded fluid reservoir to help maintain consistent performance with less foaming and heavy-duty twin tube construction. Shocks are sold individually.
I have a 2000 TJ with 115000 that had what were probably the original shocks. They were all a leaky mess. I replaced the fronts with Skyjackers last year. Loved them. Huge improvement. This year I did the rear. If you've ever changed old shocks out on the rear of a TJ you know the awful pain of broken shock bolts. But I thought it would be worth it for the new Skyjackers. Totally wrong. These are WORSE than the old shocks with 115000 miles on them. A bumpy road (slow) will make you seasick. Literally, no exaggeration. I admit that at highway speeds they seem to work beautifully, but if you are going 0 to 35 on a torn up road or rough trail you are in for some serious up and down. Since my TJ is a daily, around town work vehicle and an occasional trail runner I am hugely disappointed in my choice of these shocks.
I bought these shocks to replace some very stiff Rough Country 2.2 shocks. The RCs were so stiff that if I hit a series of bumps on a dirt road,you would loose all the fillings out of you teeth. So for my recreation use Jeep Tj I needed to soften things up a bit. The Skyjacker Hydros are much better, softer but not too soft to street daily. Very satisfied.
When it comes to leveling kits, suspension kits and sport lifts, Skyjacker Suspensions delivers a vast selection of parts for Jeeps. We carry everything from the basics to the odds and ends that keep rides smooth and bouncing in check on or off the trail. Wrangler, Cherokee, Rubicon drivers and more depend on the heavy-duty construction that has become a Skyjacker staple to make wheeling on big tires safe and sound. Everyone needs adventures in their life and Skyjacker products like suspension and stabilizer kits, shocks and coil springs help make them possible. Shop Skyjacker Now

Mental Health & Well-being
At the OCDSB, we understand that mental health and well-being are important to learning and life. This relationship is grounded in the OCDSB 2015-2019 Strategic Plan where well-being is identified as one of the key priority areas. We strive to enhance students' sense of belonging and sense of self, as well as to foster social skills, resilience and emotional regulation within an inclusive, safe and caring learning environment.
To guide the work in mental health & well-being, the OCDSB has developed a district-wide framework for well-being, and a mental health strategy. Our vision recognizes that "engaging, educating and empowering our students, staff and communities provides a safe, caring and inclusive learning environment that promotes student mental health, well-being and achievement". The OCDSB Mental Health Strategy outlines important priorities including setting organizational conditions, promoting mental health through capacity building, implementing evidence-informed mental health and well-being initiatives and facilitating pathways to care for students who experience mental health challenges.
What is Mental Health?
Mental health is often confused with mental illness or disorders, like depression, or schizophrenia, but in fact, mental health is the opposite. To be mentally healthy means we feel happy, safe, cared for – we are resilient and flourishing. The World Health Organization defines mental health as a "state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community (World Health Organization).
What is the tiered approach to mental health?
At the OCDSB we use a tiered approach to promote mental health and well-being for ALL, to identify SOME students who need additional support and to assess and intervene with a FEW students who are experiencing mental health challenges.
Promoting mental health & well-being begins in the classroom where all students learn and practice social emotional learning skills such as problem-solving, decision making, and coping with stress. Some students, who might be at risk for developing mental health difficulties, need extra support. Some of the resources available at school include: classroom teacher, educational assistant, learning support teacher/learning resource teacher, guidance counsellor, student success teacher, vice-principal and principal. There are additional central supports including: specialized teams (e.g., Behaviour, Autism, Early Learning), instructional coaches, re-engagement coordinator, psychologists, social worker sand speech & language pathologists. A few students will require intensive mental health or crisis intervention and supports. In addition to school and central supports, access to community resources maybe important for these students.
An illustration of Tiered Intervention:
In an immediate crisis, call 911 or go to a hospital.
Prevention includes creating a positive and supportive school climate; building a school environment and culture that enhances and supports resiliency for all children and youth, and where primary prevention and early identification of mental health issues takes place. To find out more about what you can do to help promote mental health check out the information below:
Fostering Mental Health
Teacher Resources
Assessment and treatment are necessary for children and youth displaying significant symptoms of mental illness or with diagnosable disorders. The need for treatment may be of short-term duration, or may involve long-term professional involvement, or may fluctuate as the child or youth experiences various developmental stages and life events. To find out more about treatment please check out the resources below.

Rubicam System by Red Peak Parts and Accessories - Trail VoyeurPosted in How To: Electrical on December 16, 2013
We're living in a world of science fiction. It was only a couple decades ago that stuff like mobile phones, video communications, and on-board camera systems were the stuff of fantasy. Now everybody has a mobile phone in their pocket that can do a Skype or Facetime video call anytime or anywhere. And that fancy secret agent video screen for your auto? Not only is it here, it's pretty darn affordable and better than anything the Sean Connery-to-Timothy Dalton Bonds got to play with.
Yep, if you're searching for a great little gift for the Jeeper in your life…or even for yourself, you need to check out the RubiCam System from Red Peak Parts & Accessories. The company has compiled several different systems ranging from the Basic RubiCam System for $349.99 (1 camera, monitor, mount, wiring, and remote control) to the Ultimate RubiCam System for $649.99, which ups the camera count from one to four. Cameras are your choice of bullet-style (n/c with system or $79.99 individually) with built-in mount or HD-style ($12 extra if purchasing the system or $99.99 individually) with built-in mount and sunvisor. Either 15- or 30-foot extension cords are optional extras.
We got our hands on an Ultimate RubiCam System and spec'd out two standard bullet-style and two HD-style cameras and mounted them on Jp's '07 Wrangler Rubicon for testing. Unfortunately, as Murphy's Law is want to do, our Wrangler spit the clutch throwout bearing between mounting our cameras and finish-wiring of the monitor, so we only got to play with it in our driveway—for now.
The parts are high-quality. The cameras are dirt- and waterproof and the mounting hardware is sturdy. All of the electrical connectors for the cameras are O-ringed and feature screw-on fittings. The color monitor is adjustable in almost every way, from brightness to contrast to image display. You can have all four cameras displaying or split between any cameras in the system. You can also prioritize one camera over the others, making one view larger than the others. It's pretty user-friendly, and once you play with it a while, it's easy to toggle into the mode you're looking for. Like the HD cameras, the monitor comes with a sturdy built-in sunvisor to reduce glare. Furthermore, all of Red Peak's cameras offer infrared night vision capability, so even with headlights, your night vision can be increased by a huge degree for backing or slow-speed trail work.
Follow along as we mount and play with the Ultimate RubiCam System…even if it is just in our driveway.

When Tim said "Heisenbug," I pictured a large dirigible exploding and heard a radio reporter cry, "Oh the Humanity!"
As Tim started talking, I realized he'd said "Heisenbug," not Hindenbug. So I pictured my favorite chemistry teacher. Here is a link to his likeness:
Picture of Heisenberg
It was only when I heard my deceased physicist father-in-law's voice growling his favorite endearment "Rick, you dumbass," that I finally realized Tim was talking about Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
Although I wasn't completely sure.
As it turns out, Tim was talking about that phenomenon that happens to all of us when we call in a sysadmin to fix a problem with our system. When the sysadmin shows up, the problem disappears. I know you guys write scripts to make that happen on purpose, but Tim doesn't. And neither does the Ksplice team. So they developed some very cool technology to diagnose these heisenbugs and get our systems running properly again. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. And everyone who reads this blog.
In any case, you can find out how Ksplice crushes the Heisenbug in this short video:

Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith's preseason could be over after an incident with Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito during Saturday night's preseason game between the two teams.
Smith forcibly removed Incognito's helmet and then swung it at him connecting with Incognito's face in the process. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the league will suspend Smith Tuesday for up to two preseason games for using a helmet as a weapon.
It's the second time in the last calendar year the duo of Smith and Incognito have had an incident on the field. Smith was fined $11,000 (after appealing the fine down from $21,000) for a Week One run-in when he kicked Incognito in the head after Incognito grabbed Smith's ankle as he tried to chase a loose ball.

Corruption claims put IT contracting under the spotlight
Boils lanced in NSW, Victoria
Two corruption scandals in the Australian tech sector came to a head yesterday, turning a harsh spotlight on how government bodies go about contracting out IT services.
Victoria's Ombudsman released a damning report into that state's IT body CeniTex, while in NSW, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) released its report into IT procurement at Sydney University.
CeniTex, established in 2008 to act as a one-stop-shop for government IT in Victoria, became a feeding frenzy. According to the report tabled in parliament by acting Ombudsman John Taylor, contracts were awarded to companies operated by friends or family of CeniTex staffers, contractors were routinely paid $AU1,000 per day, and conflicts of interest were poorly handled.
The Ombudsman says that his investigation had identified "failures in internal checks and balances at CeniTex, serious improper conduct, undeclared and inadequately managed conflicts of interest", and "poor procurement and recruitment processes".
The report also suggests contract-splitting, in which projects were contracted out in small parcels to avoid them being put to tender, may have taken place, and accuses the agency of sham tendering.
One company, not identified in the report, was paid $AU40 million over more than 300 separate purchase orders. "This suggests that engagements may have been split by CeniTex in order to avoid tender thresholds".
Last year, an investigation by the Fairfax newspaper The Age suggested that a hosting contract had been awarded to a shelf company established by CeniTex executives. That report sparked a police investigation which the Ombudsman said delayed his investigation.
In NSW, the University of Sydney is red-faced after ICAC announced the results of its investigation into contracting practises at the sandstone-league institution.
The ICAC has found that IT manager Atilla "Todd" Demiralay used a company operated by his wife to recruit contractors, engaged his brother-in-law to work at the university without disclosing their relationship, and handed a job to a close friend without considering other candidates.
The investigation has found that more than $AU1.5 million was paid to Demiralay's companies.
The University's decision to use the staffer's companies for recruitment also gets a serve, since the NSW government has a panel of recruitment firms whose services were therefore already available to the institution. ®

Captain Christopher Manson of the 104th Precinct said that the November 13th fight started at the corner of 79th Street and Grand Avenue in Maspeth.
"Students from another school came to Maspeth High, they had words," said Manson in a press briefing on Friday, Nov. 15. "They continued to argue as they moved up the block."
Principal Khurshid Abdul-Mutakabbir of Maspeth High School told a different story, saying that the fight started, and was broken up, at Crowley Park, and not at or near his high school.
"Everyone who's writing about it is completely off," said Abdul-Mutakabbir. "I actually sent out an email to Manson and a few other people as well, because I'm disappointed in his update. He told some people the wrong story."
According to Abdul-Mutakabbir, the fight that led to one of his students being hit in the face with a wrench started as a planned confrontation between two girls, one a Maspeth student, and one a student at Grand Street Campus, located on Bushwick Avenue and Grand Street in Brooklyn, who had a long-standing feud.
"The girl from the other school decided to come here to confront the other girl, not at the school but at Crowley Park," Abdul-Mutakabbir explained. "The girl from Maspeth mentioned it to a couple of her classmates, and the word started spreading."
At about 4:45 p.m., according to Abdul-Mutakabbir's account, "Forty or 50 of our kids went over to Crowley Park to be spectators, to see what was happening, and the kids from Grand Street Campus showed up and they immediately started attacking one of the boys."
He went on to explain that, "it wasn't really much of a brawl, it was more of an assault."
As for the confusion that the fight took place around Maspeth High School at Elmhurst Park, Abdul-Mutakabbir said, "It did not happen at our school, near our school or at Elmhurst Park. It was much further down, way beyond our perimeter."
Abdul-Mutakabbir said that the boy who was assaulted was able to return to school the next day, but he did say that the girl who had the fight is transferring out, and that none of his students want revenge.
"They didn't go to fight in the first place," Abdul-Mutakabbir said.

Dear Mary: I do a lot of online shopping. My sister, on the other hand, refuses to buy anything online because of the extra charges, like shipping and handling. Her position does make sense, but I'm not ready to abandon the Internet forever. Are there ways I can be sure I don't overpay? — Barbara, email
Dear Barbara: Always count shipping and handling as part of the cost. And your sister needs to count gasoline and parking in her costs. Then, know your prices. And always compare the online price with what things cost at stores in your area.
Dear Mary: About 20 years ago, my husband was laid off from a big company. I went back into the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom. He started his own business, but it was a disaster, and we lost our savings and almost lost our home.
We sold our home, settled our debts and moved into a home we rented. My husband eventually found permanent employment with a company where he still works.
Throughout this, we raised three children, and helped with college, weddings and all the other events in life. As we are approaching our "golden years," we would like to buy a small home.
We have saved for a down payment, and the only outstanding debt we have is a college loan for our son. We also qualify as a firsttime buyer since it's been so long since we were homeowners.
Is buying a home in our best interest? I have always believed that the only way to retire in California is to have a paid-for home.
We will be meeting with a financial advisor, but I so respect your opinion and would like to know your thoughts. — Sue, California
Dear Sue: Buying a home is in your best interest, but going into debt is not.
My best advice is that you do not retire until you are debt-free and own your home outright. This guarantees you will have a rent-free retirement during the years that you will not have paychecks.
Of course, I do not know enough about your situation to be any more specific than that.
How many years do you have before you stop working? What are your other investment and retirement account resources?
You would not believe the heart-wrenching letters I receive from people in their 70s and beyond who are trying to juggle credit- card debt, college loans and a mortgage payment on their Social Security checks. You just can't do that and also eat.
The next step for these folks is to become a financial burden to their kids.
Unless you have time to catch up and get that home paid off before you stop working, I would not recommend that you buy, at least not in California. Rent instead.

A memorial service for Stanley man Adam J. Chase, 31, has been scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday at Kenneth J. Perkins Funeral Home, 2583 Main St., Gorham. Memorial contributions may be made to Applied Forensic Sciences Department, Mercyhurst Archaeological Institute, Mercyhurst University, 501 E. 38 St., Erie, PA 16546.
Earlier this month, an Ontario County jury found Mr. Chase's wife, Rose Chase, guilty of second-degree murder in her husband's death in June 2012. Rose was also found guilty of tampering with physical evidence and endangering the welfare of a child.
Rose's sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 15.
