Well, do they? The Database would seem to think so. We have cue>>queue, for instance. But like lots of Database articles, this one was written in the first flush/flash of enthusiasm for the idea of eggcorns, and includes examples that I don't find convincing. If you give me a "queue" when I should speak my line, I'm not really sure how that would make sense—so cue>>queue examples of that type don't work for me. But saying something "on queue" in, for example, a play seems much more eggcornish to me: I envision a kind of "queue" or succession of things that have to happen before I can speak my line; when the play gets to my place in that queue of events, I speak the line I'm supposed to. So I think "on queue" works as an eggcorn, but that's the problem: the whole phrase "on queue," not "queue" by itself, is the eggcorn here, and "on queue" is two syllables and two words.
So are there any monosyllabic eggcorns that seem truly eggcornish but aren't part of a well-established phrase or idiom like "on cue"? Kem and I have both pointed to aisle>><<isle in the past, but you have to make a pretty complex argument in order for that pair of substitutions to seem eggcornical. And aisle>><<isle may be an interesting/weird exception rather than an indication that eggcorns can regularly be monosyllabic.
Can anyone suggest any candidates?
We've had quite a number of monosyllabic eggcorns on the forum. A look through the first third of our 2010 list turns up:

Just wondering where you are going with this thought. Is there something special about monosyllabic words that affects their ability to be eggcorns?

Thanks for the list, Kem—that was actually pretty helpful.
In the last few weeks, I've been rereading our big theoretical debates in Eggcornology from 2008, rereading many of the early LL posts on eggcorns, and looking at work in linguistics on topics related to eggcorns. I'm still trying to work out some obvious problems in the ideas I'm currently working with, so I probably won't lay out everything till I'm more convinced that I can be coherent. But the question above was inspired by the (apparently independent) claims by A. Zwicky and David Tuggy that eggcorns are "part for part" substitutions. It turns out that in the last 15 years or so, work on "folk etymology" (FE) by linguists has made a similar claim. (And my recent reading has also convinced me that it really doesn't make much sense to draw a distinction between "eggcorns" and at least one type of fairly well-defined FE; eggcorns are simply FEs of that type, and any serious scholarly work on eggcorns needs to take the earlier FE work into account. The thing that might make the term "eggcorn" useful even for linguists is that it distinguishes that one type of FE from a number of other things to which the label "folk etymology" is widely applied.) If these linguists (I'm including all of the above) are right, then it should be pretty hard for a monosyllabic eggcorn to exist. I wanted to see if there was any good counter-evidence. I think most of Kem's list could be called misspellings or flounders (and of course Kem at least considers the latter eggcorns). And it's interesting (and perhaps instructive) that most of these have their eggcornicity cast into doubt either by the original poster or by others in the thread. But cel>>cell admittedly hurts my brain a bit; it's intriguing, and I'm still trying to figure out whether it's a flounder or an exception to the rule.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with on this quest. I've tracked the discussions on this forum about the need for eggcorns to occur in idiomatized contexts, but I've never been very comfortable with the formulations we have come up with. The problem lies, I think, in the universality of interword associations. Every word carries with it preferences for partnerships with other words. When the associational preferences are strong, we call the assemblages idioms. When they are weak, we tend to overlook the subcoded preferences. But they are always there, even if they are weak, and word substitutions generate reverberations in these weak fields that make certain substitutions more appropriate than others. I'm not sure, therefore, that eggcorn substitutions can ever fail to meet the "part-for-part" criterion. Which raises in turn the obvious question of whether we can use this criterion as a way to differentiate eggcorns and flounders.
Still, we may be able to come up some acceptable scale of word association strength that serve the purpose. I tend to think things are impossible until someone does them. Then they seem obvious.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
You're just talking about multi-word acorns rather than simplexes, right? At first I was puzzled until I realized that you had to be referring to phrasal eggcorns alone.
And if I understand you, then I have been having similar thoughts about flounders. There are examples where whole for whole substitution does seem to occur —but the "flounder rule" may apply too well in those instances. "Bated," for instance, rarely occurs outside of the expression "bated breath." Since "baited" substitutes for "bated" in "baited breath," it therefore substitutes for the acorn nearly everywhere. So is "baited breath" a flounder because the near-universal substitution seems to be "whole for whole substitution" or an acceptable eggcorn because "baited" is part of a fixed phrase and therefore an instance of "part for part substitution"? The former contention seems to me poor grounds on which to call "baited breath" a flounder for the simple fact that "baited breath" seems to be working just like dozens or hundreds of other seemingly unambiguous eggcorns do. (Of course, one might challenge the eggcornicity of "baited breath" on semantic grounds—especially because the Database makes no attempt to offer an explicit justification—but the image of "quiet expectancy" attaching to both fishermen and people who are bating their breath might provide a reasonable defense.) And some other words occur in only a very limited set of contexts even though they aren't tied to just one fixed phrase—it becomes even harder to figure out what "part for part" means in those cases.
Still, I'd never expect to come up with a definition of eggcorn that convincingly seemed to exclude any exception at all—outside of the "hard sciences," few definitions work that way, and the nature of the cognitive processing of vocabulary almost guarantees that definitions concerning types of lexical items won't work that way. I'll settle, instead, for some principles that seem to include most of what most people can agree are eggcorns, while excluding most things that most people agree aren't. The trick is to maximize and minimize at the right places with the smallest number of rules possible.

Sticking It to Peripheral Neuropathy
To Beat Pain and Numbness in Arms and Legs -- a Side Effect of Certain AIDS Drugs, Which Can Cause Nerve Damage -- Some People With HIV Turn to Acupuncture
Acupuncture is commonly thought of as an "alternative" form of therapy, although its history as a treatment for physical ailments predates the era of laboratory-produced drugs by several thousand years. While the pharmaceutical industry has made impressive strides in the past decade in curtailing the rate at which HIV replicates, drugs have not eradicated the virus from a single individual to date. So it is not surprising that many people with HIV turn to medical therapies that are considered non-traditional in this country.
Some healthcare providers are uncomfortable when they learn that their patients are exploring treatment modalities such as acupuncture. However, a growing number of these professionals recognize the value in helping patients explore and evaluate alternative therapies. And a significant number of primary care providers have come to recognize that such therapies should not be thought of as alternatives to traditional medical care but rather as concurrent or complementary therapies -- therapies used in conjunction with, not instead of, conventional drug treatments.
Even if a physician does not wish to encourage such therapies, it is important that he or she maintain an open mind on the topic -- so that patients will not be tempted to conceal this part of their treatment regimen from their primary care provider. A comfortable rapport between patient and doctor is fundamental to a healthy therapeutic relationship, and a patient's desire to explore alternative survival strategies should not be allowed to compromise that relationship.
What is acupuncture?
The basic premise of acupuncture is that pain and illness are caused by imbalances in energy flow within the body. The term for this energy is "qi" (pronounced "chi"). Qi circulates along 12 pathways in the body. Specific points along these pathways have been identified as acupuncture sites and given names such as "Spleen 21." Practitioners believe that by inserting thin needles (usually made of stainless steel) at these points, they can restore the natural flow of qi along a pathway that has become disturbed or obstructed. Restoration of the natural flow of qi is thought to help relieve pain and treat underlying illnesses.
Acupuncture is frequently administered within the broader context of traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners of this ancient tradition choose from a variety of treatment modalities when developing an individual treatment regimen for a patient. In addition to acupuncture, these modalities include therapeutic massage, stress reduction techniques, and the application of heat and herbs that is known as "moxabustion."
Early in the AIDS epidemic, the only references to acupuncture in the medical literature focused on its potential role in viral transmission. (The concern at that time was that the reuse of needles, without proper sterilization, might transmit HIV. This minuscule and largely theoretical risk has been effectively eliminated by the use of proper sterilization techniques and disposable needles.) Today, despite the widespread use of acupuncture among people with HIV, there is still a paucity of information in the medical literature on the effect of this therapy on manifestations of HIV infection. Most of what we know comes from conference abstracts and anecdotal reports.
The World Health Organization has identified several groups of diseases that respond well to acupuncture treatment. These include infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, certain diseases of the eye (such as conjunctivitis and glaucoma), gastrointestinal complaints (such as chronic gastritis, constipation, and diarrhea), and neurologic symptoms like peripheral neuropathy.
This list correlates well with a chart review study conducted by the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been providing acupuncture treatment to HIV-infected individuals for a number of years. The authors of that study identified the following health problems as the ones that most frequently respond well to acupuncture: weight loss, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, headache, and peripheral neuropathy.
Pain, a frequent symptom in people with HIV disease, appears to be particularly responsive to the effects of acupuncture. While the exact mechanisms by which acupuncture relieves pain remain obscure, there is clinical evidence that more than the placebo effect is at work. In one study of individuals being treated for substance abuse, 40 individuals received treatment at specific acupuncture points while 40 others had needles inserted randomly. Half of those who received authentic treatment successfully completed the program, compared with only one of those who got nonspecific treatment. In addition, treated individuals had fewer relapses.
In other studies of the physiological effects of acupuncture, investigators have shown that the insertion of needles at certain points consistently produces a localized reduction in pain, whereas needles inserted at other points induce generalized anesthesia.
Acupuncture as a treatment for peripheral neuropathy
Whatever the mechanism at work, acupuncture has become a popular treatment for people with peripheral neuropathy, which is a common complaint of people with HIV. Neuropathy, or nerve damage, manifests as pain, tingling, or numbness in the extremities, usually the feet. Its severity can range from mild discomfort to a debilitating condition, robbing a person of the ability to walk or even stand. Neuropathy is a recognized side effect of certain antiretroviral drugs, but it can also be caused by HIV itself.
At the World Federal Acupuncture Society Conference that was held in Paris in 1990, licensed acupuncturist Magnolia Goh reported encouraging results from a small study of 31 HIV-positive patients with peripheral neuropathy. The participants in this study received one to three acupuncture treatments a week. Twelve patients had their pain completely alleviated by acupuncture, and another eleven experienced relief of most of their symptoms. Only three patients had no response. In most patients, results were felt after three to five treatments.
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine used objective quantitative measurements as well as subjective questionnaires to judge the effects of acupuncture in 39 individuals with HIV-related peripheral neuropathy. Patients received two treatments a week for six months. For a variety of reasons, 13 patients did not return after their initial treatment. In the remaining 26 participants, quantitative sensory testing of the big toe demonstrated significantly improved sensation at follow-up visits. Neurologic exams showed improved sensory capabilities in seven participants, no change in 13, and deterioration in three. However, a majority of these study subjects noticed an improvement in their quality of life after several months of acupuncture treatments.
Despite the limited clinical data on the use of acupuncture to treat peripheral neuropathy and other HIV-related symptoms, acupuncture clinics are flourishing in many cities. Drs. Naomi Rabinowitz and Michael Smith, who have operated a highly popular clinic for HIV patients at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx since the early 1980's, pioneered the use of acupuncture in people with HIV. Many other clinics dedicated to providing acupuncture to HIV patients have since opened, and they draw large numbers of patients.
Among the many attractive features of acupuncture therapy are its safety and its relatively affordable cost. Convenience is also a consideration: it is not necessary to plan one's life around acupuncture treatments, which is a particular boon to individuals who must plan their lives around their antiretroviral therapy schedules. But proponents of acupuncture will need to make their case with hard data at conventional medical conferences before many practitioners feel secure in suggesting this treatment to their patients -- and before insurance companies begin to cover the cost of this often helpful alternative therapy.

|Nogrod, Númenor, Arnor
|Images of Narsil
Narsil was the sword of King Elendil of the Dúnedain. It was later known as Andúril.
The sword was forged during the First Age by the famed Dwarven-smith Telchar. In the Second Age, Narsil was an heirloom of the descendants of Elros, the first King of Númenor. Although nothing is said of Narsil during this period, it eventually came into the hands of Elendil, a distant descendant, towards the close of the Second Age.
Elendil carried Narsil in the Siege of Barad-dûr, but Sauron killed him and the sword broke into two pieces under him as he fell. Elendil's son Isildur took up the sword and used its shard to cut the One Ring from the hand of Sauron. Isildur took the shards home with him. Shortly before Isildur was killed in the second year of the Third Age in the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, the shards were rescued by Ohtar, esquire of Isildur[1]. He took them to Rivendell, where Isildur's youngest son Valandil was fostered.
The Shards of Narsil were one of the heirlooms of the Kings of Arnor, and after the Northern Kingdom was destroyed they remained an heirloom of the Rangers of the North. It was not reforged until the War of the Ring at the end of the Third Age in Rivendell as Andúril, the "Flame of the West", for Aragorn, who was by that time the Chieftain of the Dúnedain and heir of Isildur.
He carried the sword during his journey south as part of the Fellowship of the Ring, and fought with it in many instances. He referred to it as the "Sword That Was Broken" or "The Sword Reforged".
Narsil is a Quenya name meaning "red and white flame".[2][3] The name is said to consist of the stems NAR ("fire"; cf. nár "fire") + THIL ("white light"). It was a symbolic name, pointing to the Sun and the Moon, the "chief heavenly lights, as enemies of darkness".[4]
Portrayal in adaptations
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
- Narsil was not broken in two but in several parts, which were kept at Rivendell, and by Sauron stepping on it instead of it breaking as Elendil fell. The sword is not reforged into Andúril until the third film, when Arwen persuades Elrond to have Elven smiths reforge it from the shards and bring to Aragorn.
- In the books, he actually wears the broken blade and shows it to the Hobbits when they meet at The Prancing Pony in Bree, and its reforging prior to the departure of the Fellowship is a decisive move toward kingship.
2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- The reforging of Narsil is experienced by the player in the quest arc called "The Blade that was Broken". The player sets out to find the last of the Silithair, shining adamants crafted by Elves of the house of Fëanor in days of old, in order for the Elf-smiths of Imladris to reforge the sword.[5]
2012-14: The Hobbit (film series):
- The shards of Narsil appear in Rivendell.

NHGRI's William Gahl Honored with Top Governmental Service Award
NHGRI's William Gahl Honored with Top Governmental Service Award
"Many of my patients represent the medically underserved," said Dr. Gahl, who received the award at the AMA National Advocacy Conference at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C. "They provide the ongoing assurance that compels me and my colleagues at the bedside, at the bench and in the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program to pursue this work with a passion for care and discovery."
Of eight possible categories, Dr. Gahl was recognized as a federal executive branch member in career public service and is the first honoree to represent NHGRI. Fourteen of the 25 past recipients in the same category have been leaders at NIH, including seven NIH center or institute directors.
"NHGRI's intramural research community celebrates recognition of one of our own," said NHGRI Scientific Director Daniel Kastner, M.D., Ph.D.. "Dr. Gahl richly deserves this high distinction from the medical community for his achievements in clinical research and dedication to patient care."
"As the founding director of the UDP, Dr. Gahl has brokered a unique combination of medical and scientific resources to make genetic discoveries and further the research of undiagnosed diseases," NHGRI Director Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D., wrote in a nomination letter last fall. "Dr. Gahl has recruited the most contemporary genomic experts and technologies to the UDP, quickly demonstrating the role of detailed genomic studies in unraveling the genetic basis of mystery diseases. These efforts are establishing new paradigms for investigating and diagnosing rare genetic disorders."
"Award winners come from every branch of government service and are a testament to the important roles public officials play in creating and implementing health policy that benefits Americans," said AMA Board Chairwoman Ardis Dee Hoven, M.D., in a press announcement. This year marks the 22nd anniversary of the Dr. Nathan Davis Awards, which were named for the 19th century physician and AMA founder.
Dr. Gahl studies rare inborn errors of metabolism, seeing patients in the clinic and conducting biochemical and biological investigations in the laboratory. He is an international expert in cystinosis, a multisystemic disease that causes kidney failure at age 10 due to lysosomal storage of cystine; Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a disorder of albinism and bleeding due to improper formation of vesicles within cells; alkaptonuria, a devastating joint disease of adults; and disorders of free sialic acid metabolism. He has published more than 280 articles, reviews and book chapters. Currently, 25 of Dr. Gahl's fellows are certified in Clinical Biochemical Genetics. He has won previous awards from the National Organization for Rare Disorders and the Alliance of Genetics Support Groups for his service to the rare disease community.
Dr. Gahl received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972 and his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He completed a residency and chief residency in pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin and a postdoctoral fellowship in genetics at NIH. Dr. Gahl is certified in pediatrics, clinical genetics, and clinical biochemical genetics by the American Board of Medical Genetics. He is a member of the board of directors of the American Board of Medical Genetics, past president of the Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders, and a member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians.

Romantic gestures and tokens of appreciation are not lost on men. In fact, they count for a lot. We love knowing that the girl we're mad for likes us back. And we love knowing that she thinks about us when we aren't there. But we can get spooked for what may seem like the strangest reasons, and sweet gestures given at the wrong time can send us running in the opposite direction. Here's the scoop on what lovey-dovey stuff works for us, what doesn't, and when it's okay to bring it on.
The most dangerous moment to lavish attention on a guy is when you first start dating. You may be so caught up in the thrill of a new relationship that you feel an overwhelming desire to indulge in truly sappy romantic behavior (like giving him a mug that says World's Greatest Lover). The important thing to remember in the first few weeks with your new love: Romantic gestures from women fall into two distinct categories: (1) She really likes me! (2) I'm dating Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
The truth is, a guy doesn't expect or want much during this phase. Of course he's praying for sex (and at this stage of the game, that is the most romantic gesture of all). But don't send him love letters, cute cards, or cook him a big family dinner. The key is not to try too hard. You don't want him to worry that you've put more thought and effort into this one gift than he has put into the entire relationship.
Birthday/holiday rule: If a gift-giving situation pops up during these early romantic stages, remember, less is more. Your best bet is to give him a gift that can be consumed. If you know he likes a certain type of beer, buy him an entire case. If he's a fitness freak, get him his favorite nutrition bars. Avoid trinket-itis — that is, buying precious little figurines/key chains/etc. You may want to give him the Beanie Baby that looks like his childhood dog. Don't.
This is when you're boyfriend and girlfriend...but just barely. You are on each other's speed dial, but you haven't exchanged apartment keys yet. The thing about romantic gestures at this point is that they should be all about the two of you as a couple. So inside jokes are good. If you went to Sea World together, get him that dolphin trash can. If he's had a rough day, go ahead and get sappy. Give him a coupon that says, "This entitles you to one back rub" or some other even more erotic gift. If you're traveling, send him a postcard saying you are thinking about him. All of these gestures show that you really, really like him.
What not to do? Anything that expands your intimacy into a domain where you haven't been invited. For example, whatever you do, don't call his mom on the phone asking for the recipes to his favorite dishes, even if you really want to cook him a special dinner (because he may not want you talking to his mom). If you've noticed he has a collection of frog stuff (frog magnets, frog mittens, frog playing cards), don't go buying any more for him. It may be his inside joke with another friend, and it will seem like you are trying to get in on it. These may seem like little things, but to a guy, they suggest you are upping the commitment ante, and that can unhinge him a bit.
Birthday/holiday rule: This is tricky. You want to get him something nice but not too nice. For example: Filofax? Yes. The new, improved PalmPilot? No. An expensive night out on the town? Yes. A tropical vacation for two planned for six months down the road? No. A sexy love letter where you spell out exactly how fabulous he is (both in and out of bed)? Yes. That letter embroidered on a pillow? No. (Always avoid anything that he feels he has to display in his apartment.) The key with all of this is to give him something he can enjoy right now but that isn't too heavily directed toward the future.
This is the final Jeopardy! round. You're a couple, big-time. If you aren't living together, you definitely keep toothbrushes at both places. You've probably met the folks, and you may even be sending them presents at the holidays. At this stage of the game, he loves to be told that you still think he's Your Man. So get personal and creative. Send him lusty e-mail luring him out of the office for a lunchtime quickie. Plan a weekend away, and then while on vacation, grant him three wishes and bring along a, um, Polaroid camera. Do things that remind him of all the different phases of your relationship. Re-create your first date: food, clothes, everything. Give him a mix tape with every song you've ever danced to. Put together a photo album of the two of you in your absolutely happiest times.
Birthday/holiday rule: Get him (and his best friend) season tickets to go watch his favorite sports team. Buy a star in his name. Book him for a week at a basketball fantasy camp — the same week of your family reunion (so he doesn't have to go with you). And give him a dog — even if you hate them. Because the best romantic gestures are the ones that remind him of why the two of you are so perfect together.

I received a netbook for christmas that is running version 1.9, and I don't know how to update it. I cannot find a brand name anywhere on it and there does not appear to be any sort of built in updater, so I assume I need to 'root it,' so any advise would really be appreciated.
Sidenote: has anyone else had a problem with the wifi systems settings menu and/or the youtube app repeatedly crashing?

Feb. 28, 2009
MALIBU, Calif. - Jake Rosener had a career-high seven service aces and added 11 digs and six blocks, but No. 13 UC Santa Barbara was swept by No. 1 Pepperdine Saturday in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) men's volleyball action. Scores went 30-24, 36-34, 30-18 at Firestone Fieldhouse.
The Gauchos, who lost their third straight match, dropped to 4-11 overall and 2-10 in the MPSF. With their seventh consecutive victory over UCSB, the Waves improved to 10-1 overall, 9-1 in the league.
Usually consistent outside hitter Jeff Menzel had an off night for UCSB, connecting on only 13 of his 45 total attacks while piling up 10 errors. Rosener's solid performance also included a .368 hitting percentage. Cullen Irons matched Rosener with 11 kills of his own. Vince DeVany had a match-high 46 assists, tallying 21 in the second set, and Andy McGuire had a match-high nine digs.
The Gauchos hit a combined.132 in the first and third sets, but posted a .354 attack percentage in the second frame. Overall, UCSB hit .231 as a team.
Paul Carroll led Pepperdine with a match-high 22 kills. Rodnei Santos hit .714 on the night, tallying 11 kills on 15 attempts with no errors. Setter Kasey Crider totaled 43 assists as he led the Waves to a .455 attack percentage for the match. Pepperdine out-blocked UCSB 14-3 with Tyler Jaynes collecting seven stuffs.
UCSB tried to grab momentum in set two as it took a 31-30 lead on a Moisenco kill. After a kill by Carroll evened the match, Irons again put the Gauchos on top, 32-31 with a kill. Pepperdine would win three of the next five points, giving them a 34-33 lead after a UCSB service error. The Gauchos were able to stave off the second set point of the frame on a kill by Rosener, but ultimately fell after a kill by Brent Schirripa and a block by Jaynes sealed it, 36-34. It proved to be Schirripa's only kill on the night.
The second stanza featured 22 tie scores and six lead changes.
Santa Barbara closes out its longest road trip of the season with a visit to Hawai'i on Mar. 5 and Mar. 6. The Gauchos are now 0-5 away from home.
The next home match will be a non-conference tilt against George Mason on Mar. 11 (7 p.m.). Tickets are available online through Ticket Return, by calling the Athletics Ticket Office at (805) 893-UCSB, or by visiting the ticket office in the Intercollegiate Athletics building on campus.
**UCSB - a nationally recognized university in both academic and athletic excellence - is located on the central coast of California in a picturesque campus and community setting on the Pacific Ocean. Each year over 450 NCAA Division I Gaucho student-athletes compete for national championships, succeed in the classroom, and give back to the community.**

How training pays off
Since the Wright brothers' first flight, major improvements in safety have resulted primarily from technological advances. The reduction in accidents over time has paralleled improved airplane and wing design and engine-propulsion technology, the introduction of traffic collision avoidance systems, terrain warning indicators and other innovative equipment.
But "what comes with technology is the training needed to use and maintain it," said Doug Carr, vice president for safety, security and regulation at the National Business Aviation Association. "Training is the one thing the operator has total control over-who gets trained, how often, in what subjects and how much money is budgeted."
The FAA predicts that by 2012 a billion passengers a year will be flying worldwide on all forms of aviation, Carr noted. "Right now, we're operating at the margin of safety improvements. As an industry, our safety record is excellent. If we're going to maintain our safety record with that type of increase, training has to be a top priority. It's critical because technology is always changing."
The same can be said about FAA regulations and even the airspace. "New airspace gets put in place all the time," Carr said. "Every flight can be affected by a change somewhere along the line. Then consider that flight departments have personnel turnover, too. You must assure everyone is able to meet the standards you've set for your company, and that requires ongoing training."
Carr said the NBAA has asked officials at the National Transportation Safety Board what they believe is the best use of a flight department's limited budget to maximize operational safety. "Debbie Herfman of the NTSB responded by saying training remains one of the best investments in aviation safety," Carr explained. "She stressed that training allows a company to ensure their personnel have up-to-date knowledge on systems, technology, flight environment, rules and all facets of the industry.
"Your employees are only as good as the last training event they experienced," Carr continued. "The investment in training should remain a high priority even during an economic downturn so you are poised to make safety improvements as your activity increases."
Other safety experts agree. "Training allows us to identify hazards before they manifest themselves as errors, accidents or incidents," said Thomas Anthony, director of the University of Southern California Aviation Safety and Security Program. "We buy accident insurance for our house, car and airplane, but what training does is teach us to mitigate things before they happen."
The International Civil Aviation Organization requires international airline operators to establish a Safety Management System, and as a result the FAA now also has similar guidance that will soon become a regulation. "What an SMS does is create a safety gauge for the operator to judge how things are going. An SMS relies on training to implement knowledge," Anthony explained.
John Casker, president of the Professional Aviation Maintenance Association, agreed, while also suggesting another benefit of training. "Training is certainly important for keeping up with technology and developing your employees to be more productive and future leaders, but it also helps with employee retention," he said. "An unfulfilled employee has a tendency to ask if the grass is greener elsewhere, but if you invest time and money in training, your employees feel their talents are being recognized. They feel they're valued. That is money well spent."

After four football players were among 19 TCU students arrested yesterday for allegedly dealing everything from marijuana to cocaine to LSD, questions began to emerge about just how many Horned Frogs players failed a surprise drug test issued two weeks ago by coach Gary Patterson. That's because one of the accused players told what turned out to be an informant 60 players would be "screwed" by the test, while another told an undercover cop "82 people failed it."
Those numbers both figured to be a bit inflated, since the players were likely exaggerating. But to what degree? A report today from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram cites a source that says only five football players failed the surprise test. Eleven others had trace amounts of marijuana in their systems, but those amounts were within the test's margin of error. The team's other 86 players were reported to be clean. Sources also told the Star-Telegram Patterson only administered the test after a recruit who turned down a scholarship offer complained about the team's alleged drug use. College kids using marijuana? Next thing you know they'll be drinking beer and fornicating, too.

MOREHEAD CITY � Northside this was not.
MOREHEAD CITY � Northside this was not.
In its first meeting ever with 3-A West Carteret, the Monarchs looked nothing like a program that had won 26 games the past two seasons and made it to within one win of the NCHSAA 2-AA state finals a year ago.
In fact, the Patriots looked more like Northside than Northside.
The Monarchs were plagued by turnovers and penalties as West Carteret pulled off a stunning 21-3 win Monday night, finishing off a game that was scoreless when it was halted because of lightning with 11:18 left in the second quarter Friday.
The game was the season opener for both teams and saw Northside manage just 94 yards total offense, including 68 yards rushing on 29 attempts. West Carteret finished with 189 yards, 156 of which came on the ground on 50 carries.
�We didn�t play very good and generally if you don�t play good, you get beat,� Northside coach Bob Eason said. �What happened was turnovers, not knowing how to handle adversity. � It�s just one of those things. We�ll get back to the grindstone tomorrow. It�s a short week.�
Indeed, the Monarchs return to action Friday, playing host to 3-A White Oak (1-0), which opened with a 45-33 win at Red Springs on Friday.
�I�m sure White Oak is excited that we�ve got a short week,� Eason said.
Asked if he was discouraged, Eason replied: �Me? It is only one game; yeah, I�m discouraged for this game. But tomorrow we�ll be right back at it again. I�ve lost before.�
But not that often.
�No, and don�t plan on it,� Eason said.
To make sure that doesn�t happen, however, Eason will have to make sure the Monarchs don�t commit four turnovers as they did Monday � or 100 yards in penalties, including two personal fouls and two unsportsmanlike calls.
�Tons of penalties. I got one. I can�t say anything,� he said. �Our football IQ is very low right now. We�ve got some good athletes and we�ve got some guys that I think are going to come around. But we�re just not a very good football team right now. But we can be. We�ve got a lot of potential.
�Youth, not football savvy, you throw it all in the pot and we�ve got it all right now.�
Turnovers in the second half ruined Northside�s chances after the Monarchs grabbed a 3-0 lead on the final play of the first half on Gage Eason�s 35-yard field goal.
The Monarchs had the ball five times in the second half. One possession ended on downs and one with a punt. The other three? They all ended in turnovers � two fumbles and an interception. Northside also lost a fumble on its second possession of the second quarter.
And while West Carteret didn�t convert the second-quarter turnover into a touchdown, the Patriots did find the end zone after the other three turnovers, including a 25-yard interception return by Jared Cox with 5:57 left in the third quarter for a 14-3 lead.
Senior Matt Pinto had quarterback Jake Erickson�s pass bounce off him and high into the air, and the 5-foot-9 Cox snared it and took off running.
�Defense played exceptionally well,� West Carteret coach Todd Nelson said. �We�re probably as fast as we�ve ever been. Made a decision to go small and fast, and it�s really paying off with our kids really getting to the football and making things happen.�
The touchdown came exactly one minute after Jordan Meadows scored on a 2-yard run to give West Carteret a 7-3 lead. The 10-play drive followed a fumbled handoff between Erickson and wide receiver Josh Cabrera that was recovered at the Northside 43 by West Carteret�s Tyler Patterson.
�I don�t know,� Eason said. �You tell me. It�s stuff we practice every day.�
After Northside turned the ball over on downs at the West Carteret 35 on its next possession, the Monarchs committed two turnovers on their next series. One, an interception, was negated by a roughing the passer penalty. But the second, a fumble by Erickson, was recovered by West Carteret�s Joseph Mason at the Patriot 40.
Aided by a 15-yard face mask penalty, the Patriots put together a 10-play drive, capped by a 13-yard pass from Rodney Mitchell to Patterson with 3:05 left in the game.
Northside did not get inside the West Carteret 30 in the second half.
�One of the things I challenged my kids with this year was we were going to up the quality of our nonconference schedule and (adding) Northside (did that),� Nelson said. �And we challenged them all spring and all summer to step up in the weight room and get tough and play tough, quality football and they showed it tonight.�
Northside, however, did not, and much of the problem was on offense.
�We�ve got to figure out what we�re going to do. We�ve got no identity,� Eason said. �It is what it is. We messed up so much I don�t know. We blew so many different things. As a coach, it�s a huge amount of things that went wrong.�

Picture guide of CD-i battery repair
>> Monday, March 23, 2009
We've come a long way with different members who tries to repair the CD-i timekeeper battery; you may remember Terratron's repair guide and some additional tips given on Interactive Dreams, but the whole procedure remained difficult. Now CD-i member "nrg78" made a full picture guide, see below which might help you through the process if you want to extend the life of your CD-i player!
Comments by "nrg78": "After opening the case, looking for the IC... initial cut with a sharp blade, then started peeling... second layer, not hard as a normal IC would be, so started scrapping... battery shows up, when I managed to get the MINUS plate away from the old battery, I decided to try and solder the PLUS wire directly on the battery, but the solder didn't stay, so I kept on scrapping until i've managed to pop the battery out, revealing the PLUS connect plate... kept on scrapping until reveall the elsewhere so called "wires", and soldered my wires there."
Thanks to: nrg78


text: Available in 8 to 14 inch diameters, there are a variety of different types of woks which all serve various purposes. Although the long or short handles on woks are often chosen for the type of preparation and heat sources to be used, woks with glass rather than metal lids are selected for ease of viewing ingredients while they cook. Stovetop woks are available for use when prepartion takes place directly over the heat source, such as an electric or gas stovetop, hot coals or a heat plate. Some stovetop woks have special stands for wok designed with a round rather than flat bottom so the pan can be kept in a fixed position when used like a traditional sauté pan. Electric woks are made for ease of use as they provide a more consistent heat temperature with controls that can be set for various temperatures. Porcelain enameled grill woks that are formed into square or round steel bowls with perforated holes are another option for wok cooking when cooking over gas or charcoal grills. The grill woks are most used on metal grills for cooking various ingredients over outdoor grills.

I haven't completely tested it but I wanted to try and get it online (rather than started, and then never quite finished).
You should see an option now to "Thank" people for their posts. This is a lot like a "Like" on Facebook.
There is a small, gold, thumbs up at the bottom of each post (other than your own). Click the thumbs up and you've thanked, or liked, the user's post. There is a rating system based on your number of thanks compared to who ever has the most (I think that's how it works). I might wind up turning the rating system off, we'll see.
There is also a "Thanks list" at the top that shows how many thanks people have both gotten, and given.
Like it? Hate it? Thoughts?

Motorola Snaps Up MeshNetworks
Page 1 of 1
In a move aimed at boosting its broadband networking, cellular giant Motorola announced today it is purchasing MeshNetworks.
Acquiring the wireless mesh networking company "brings sales, support and brand recognition that a startup could never match in a million years," says Rick Rotondo, vice president of marketing for the Maitland, Fla-based company. "We won't be MeshNetworks any more."
Although terms of the sale were not disclosed, the two companies see benefits in the union.
The sale "accelerates our technology and roadmap with mesh technology," says Adrieanne Dimopoulos of Motorola's Commercial, Government and Industrial Solutions Sector (CGISS).
The purchase of MeshNetworks provides Motorola customers "a broader solutions portfolio to build scalable broadband wireless networks capable of delivering next generation content including data, voice, location and voice over IP (VoIP) services," according to Motorola.
MeshNetworks' technology "enhances the public safety ability to handle mobile data," according to Dimopoulos.
"The acquisition also represents another step in Motorola's commitment to deliver seamless mobility to all of our customers," said Greg Brown, president of Motorola's CGISS. The purchase will benefit "all of our businesses ranging from mission critical and enterprise markets to automotive and home entertainment applications," said Brown.
For MeshNetworks, the purchase by Motorola "legitimizes the whole mesh networking concept," says Rotondo. Motorola "really understood to get to the next level, mesh networking was the architecture to get you there...centralized cell towers weren't going to work."
Founded in 2000, MeshNetworks' customers include the government, law enforcement and public safety agencies.
Motorola points to MeshNetworks as a "leading developer" of the "advanced routing technology" behind mesh networking.
The announcement comes just months after Motorola began licensing MeshNetworks' MeshConnex software while also becoming a reseller of the MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA) line of products. In addition to the August licensing agreement, Motorola is an investor in MeshNetworks through its Motorola Ventures investment unit.
The purchase, expected to be final by year's end, "gives us access to a whole slew of markets from telematics to the digital home," says Rotondo.
As part of Motorola, MeshNetworks will have increased visibility and ability to reach new customers by a large factor, according to Rotondo. The Schaumberg, IL-based Motorola has 80,000 employees —versus the MeshNetworks' staff of 80—and reported over $27 billion in sales for 2003.
Motorola already has one fixed-wireless broadband solution for residential and business customers, called Canopy. Rotondo says that technology will "provide outstanding backhaul for mesh networks."
He also believes the public safety market could be worth as much as $1 billion for mesh networks over the next few years, helped along by some recent deregulation: the FCC recently gave the okay for companies to use off-the-shelf 802.11a gear for public safety networks based in the 4.9Ghz band. MeshNetworks had said it would investigate the idea of using the 4.9Ghz band to create metro-scale networks for what it terms "mission-critical" applications, such as video surveillance.

Deion Branch's reunion with the New England Patriots didn't have legs.
NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Saturday that the Patriots have released Branch, per a source who has spoken with the player. The Patriots later confirmed Branch's release.
Branch injured his hamstring Friday and was questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Tom E. Curran of Comcast SportsNet New England reported the injury led to Branch's release.
Branch initially was cut by the Patriots before the season opener, but he was re-signed before Week 3. He never found a niche in the Patriots' offense this season, managing just nine receptions for 80 yards in seven games, including three starts.
Branch, 33, was a second-round draft pick of the Patriots in 2002 and the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005, when he had 11 receptions for 133 yards. He is ninth on the Patriots' all-time receiving list despite spending five seasons of his career with the Seattle Seahawks.
The Patriots also released defensive back Malcolm Williams. Wide receiver Greg Salas and cornerback Aqib Talib have been added to the 53-man roster.

Tomorrow's the big day! NBT will be joined in concert by Pacific Northwest Ballet principals Carla Korbes and Seth Orza and American Ballet Theater's Herman Cornejo in celebration of NBT's 40th year and its debut at the Smith Center. Pop musician Matt Goss will be accompanying a new work by Canfield to top off the evening.
"Red Angels," a work by Ulysses Dove, is on the docket (PNB soloists Lucien Postlewaite and Sarah Ricard Orza will join in for that one), as is the infamous "Serenade" by George Balanchine. On KNPR's "State of Nevada" program this morning, Canfield and Boal spoke of the Balanchine with a kind of reverence, and they both acknowledging the almost religious feeling that accompanies the number. Pair that with NBT dancers and live music and you're good to go.
If this tease isn't quite enough for you, drop by the KNPR website to listen to the full story. The concert is tomorrow, May 5, at 7 p.m. at the Smith Center. Tickets range from $43-$128 and can be purchased online or by calling 702-749-2000.

Action from the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Championship's third-place match between the United States and host Jamaica on November 9, 2013, at the Catherine Hall Stadium in Montego Bay. (Photo: Mexsport)
MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica -- The recent staging of the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Championship in Montego Bay has changed many people's opinion of the female game in Jamaica. And Devon Thompson is an unapologetic convert.
"I never knew that I could enjoy football like this…to see the girls playing football of such a high-quality, leaves me to think that maybe they are better than the men," said the construction worker, after having watched most of the games. "The first time I came, I did so because it was free to come in, but when I see how well the girls played and how entertaining it was, even if there was a charge after, I would have paid and come in."
Linette Anderson is a school teacher, who confessed of hurrying from her classroom to catch the action.
"As a woman, I felt very good to watch the girls applying themselves the way they did," she said. "I was particularly proud of the Jamaica players, but Mexico, Canada and the USA also played at a very high level. It was amazing."
Montego Bay Mayor Glendon Harris, who chaired the Local Organizing Committee of the 10-day tournament, said he is sold on women's football forever.
"My opinion of women's football has been revolutionized by the hosting of the tournament," he expressed. "I totally enjoyed watching the girls play football."
Jamaica Football Federation President Captain Horace Burrell shared that many people have come up to him, expressing satisfaction and delight at the quality of play during the championship.
"A lot of Jamaicans did not think much of women's football, but now they have a new point of view, especially with what our girls have done in their historic achievements," said the CONCACAF Vice President. "People have expressed surprise at the level of technical ability of the players and for the entertainment value of the women's game, so certainly the awareness and profile of the female version of the sport here in Jamaica have been lifted."
Enthusiastic and large crowds turned out to watch the games at the Montego Bay Sports Complex's Catherine Hall Stadium from October 30-November 9, a source of great satisfaction for organizers of the tournament.

Popular bags and brands hit critical mass very quickly, and we've always got our eyes out for stores that are picking up buzz-worthy brands or established lines that can be a little bit hard to find. With recent accessories expansion, the UK-based site has done a bit of both. has long been one of our favorite sources for bags, both hugely popular and up-and-coming. In general, European shopping sites are the best places to look for what's next because they tend to take more chances and embrace more new ideas than American department stores. This fall, has added a bunch of new lines that bag lovers will get excited about, including cult favorites like Mansur Gavriel and Paula Cademartori and newcomers to the handbag game like Christopher Kane and Tyler Alexandra.

Vi havde booket en garden villa og den var fin og badeværelset meget stort. Villaen lå oppe på bjerget,hvilket var anstrengende, når man havde dårligt knæ. Alle i restauranten og ved poolbaren samt den kvindelige rengøringsdame gav en super service. Der ligger et lille supermarked et kvarters gang fra resortet. Der var meget varmt i den periode, vi var der, så vi foretog os ikke meget andet end at spise og drikke samt gå i poolen. Vi gik ikke i havet, da der var giftige gobler. Alt i alt var det godt men meget varmt. Der skal lyde en speciel tak til de søde mennesker i restauranten, vi vil savne deres smil og humor. Det var koldt at komme hjem til Danmark.

Week 1: Bills Lose Heartbreaker To Broncos 15-14
Last second FG scramble gives Broncos victory on opening day.
by Steve Saslow
The Bills almost stole a game on Sunday but when the clock hit 0:00 they ended up having the game stolen from them after leading for the entire game until Jason Elam's heroics. The result is a highly emotional 15-14 loss because of the heavy hearts the players had because of the injury to Kevin Everett. It was also gut wrenching as the Bills lost on the final play of the game on opening day for the 2nd time in four years (In 2004 Jacksonville scored a last second touchdown to defeat the Bills.)
If Elam didn't get the kick off it would have been a stolen 14-12 win for the Bills. They were thoroughly outplayed as Denver outgained them 470-184 yards. Denver was in Buffalo territory eight of 10 drives but thanks to the bend but don't break defense and two previous Elam misses the Bills somehow were in the lead the whole way and had many opportunities to put the game away.
On the Bills final offensive series they were facing a third and five and made a very controversial call to throw deep. If they threw a slant for five yards they had a chance to run out the clock which would have been easy considering the Broncos needed every second to win the game. The fact of the play though is that Lee Evans was wide open as it fooled the Broncos. A struggling J.P. Losman just overthrew him. He hits that pass more often then he misses it. If he hits it there, the game is over but he didn't and the Broncos got the ball back with 2:13 to play.
On the game winning field goal drive it shouldn't have come to that final crazy play. The Broncos faced two fourth and two plays and converted them both. A Jay Cutler scramble on the first and a slant pass to Javon Walker on the second. The Broncos were actually facing a 3rd and 23 early in the drive and hit a slant pass for 21 yards. That play was there all day for Cutler who threw for 304 yards to Losman's paltry 97.
If the Bills had won it would have been because of the running of Marshawn Lynch and the fantastic punt return by Roscoe Parrish. The offense just couldn't get things going in the passing game and the defense couldn't stop the Broncos one final time.
It was a devastating loss because of the last second heroics and all the injuries especially the one to Everett. The team is at a very early crossroads. They can use the loss and play for their fallen teammate and come out and play inspired football or they can feel sorry for themselves and struggle. It will be an important week of practice while everyone's hearts are with Everett.
Here are our exclusive gameballs and goats from the Bills game against the Broncos:

The move provides commercial web, packaging and newspaper printers with specialized web offset expertise and direct access to comprehensive Goss technology and support resources.
Heidelberg Mexico previously served as the agent for Goss in that country. Mauricio Guerra, formerly sales manager of web offset sales for Heidelberg Mexico is now heading Rotaweb. He has been joined by other former Heidelberg Mexico employees specializing in the web offset sector. Guerra and his team work in close connection with Leonardo Clavijo, Goss International sales manager for Mexico.
"The establishment of Rotaweb is a positive step for printers and publishers in Mexico," explains Clavijo. "Goss International and Heidelberg supported this development because it allows us to focus on delivering specialized products and services while also continuing to cooperate whenever it is in the best interests of our customers."
Rotaweb represents the full line of Goss web offset presses for commercial, packaging and newspaper production, as well as Goss finishing systems. The company also provides access to services available through the substantial Goss International support infrastructure in North and South America.
"Goss International has established itself as the web offset leader in Mexico by providing technology that matches the specific production requirements in the country and backing it up with exceptionally responsive and cost-effective parts, service and enhancement capabilities," according to Mauricio Guerra. "We value the opportunity to continue to serve printers and publishers via Rotaweb."

Improvisation, "ugly" movements and commands. James Fuller discusses Loni Landon's choreography style.
Loni Landon started her choreographic residency at Ballet Austin by asking me and the other dancers in her piece to close our eyes and explore our feet. I turned my feet out and in, rolled my weight onto my heels and then onto to the tops of my arches and crossed my feet so far that I could barely move. In ballet class, all of these positions would have been horribly wrong, but Loni wanted us to find ways of moving that would normally feel awkward or ugly. She explained that movements that feel awkward and ugly can be fresh, interesting and beautiful in ways that traditional steps can't.
From our feet, we moved up gradually into our knees, hips, torso, head and finally arms. After giving each part of our body its due, we started to work with each other, first in pairs and then as a group. One of us would call out a command like "freeze", "collapse" or "rescue", and the other dancers would respond. We soon discovered that much of Loni's choreography was like these commands: very specific but also open to many interpretations.
The last exercise Loni gave was to perform a short solo about ourselves. She encouraged us to both speak and dance. Everyone was nervous, but the results were magical. We danced and talked about our childhoods, our years of training, our relationships and our quirks. In just a few minutes, I learned things about my coworkers that I would never have dreamed. Loni gave us this assignment because she wanted to get to know us. She wanted our personalities to be part of her piece.
For the next few days, we learned phrases and created short group dances. I found this part of the process difficult both because of the volume of material and because Loni's approach to movement is very different from ours. Loni approaches movement holistically, and wanted us to grasp her material's shape, dynamic and intent simultaneously. At Ballet Austin, we usually approach movement more analytically. We break down the mechanics of each step, figure out when each step happens, and after all that work is done, we think about intent. I found it very hard to break myself out of this pattern. Loni would ask me to perform her movement with full dynamic and intent before I had had a chance to break it down and assimilate it.
Fortunately, as the piece gradually came together, I started to feel more comfortable in Loni's movement. The piece is dark and smooth, but I can see glimpses of our jagged improvisations and cheerful solos in it. It's fascinating to see two weeks of improvisation, tension and sharing woven into a piece.

Both the 2012-13 Hope women's and men's soccer teams have been recognized for their academic success. Both teams have received the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award.
A total of 869 soccer teams (273 men, 596 women) posted a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher, thereby earning the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the 2012-13 academic year.
Hope is one of 189 schools to have both soccer teams recognized.
Coach Leigh Sears' Flying Dutch posted a 3.46 GPA to claim the NSCAA honor for the fifth consecutive time.
"We have always stressed being a student first and taking care of your academic business before soccer," Sears said. "We have been fortunate to attract great student athletes who have found a way to not only be highly successful on the soccer field but also in the classroom."
Coach Steven Smith's Flying Dutchmen recorded a 3.06 GPA to qualify.
"It is exciting to see a team perform so well on and off the field," Smith said. "The primary reason our players are at Hope College is to get an excellent education. That takes commitment to the academic program. We are excited to receive this award from our national governing body. I am as proud of my guys for this accomplishment as I am for our NCAA Championship appearance."
