Tanguay feels at home with Bison
FARGO — There's more than figuring out a weather forecast to John Wheeler, the WDAY chief meteorologist. He's also an instructor at North Dakota State and at least one student couldn't be more thankful.
If football doesn't work out for Bison defensive tackle Nate Tanguay, he may have found his calling in life.
"It became apparent fairly early in the semester that Nate is just a natural," Wheeler said. "The camera loves him but more important, Nate loves the microphone. I think he had a really good time and think he figured out he has a talent for that. Once he got going, his wonderful, funny personality came out and he's not shy."
Wheeler first had Tanguay as a student in the fall semester of 2016, a time when Tanguay experienced the three-letter injury that nobody wants to think about. ACL. As comfortable as he became in front of the camera in Wheeler's broadcast performance class, when the lights weren't on, things got tough.
There were Sunday mornings this fall when Tanguay would get up and proceed to move around like he was 85 years old instead of the fifth-year college senior that he is. The rehabilitated knee would not cooperate.
Walking down the stairs? It took a lot of effort.
"Having to crawl a little bit," he said.
You could walk through the football locker room and do a story on "North Dakota Tough" every week. This is another one.
The college career was going just swimmingly for Tanguay in the first 40 games. He started every one of them and was playing at an all-Missouri Valley Football Conference level if not an all-FCS level.
But an awkward-looking pass rush in the first quarter against Youngstown State last year left Tanguay on the Gate City Bank Field turf holding his knee with an ACL tear. It happened in November and the ensuing months of Tanguay were all about getting back on the field this season as healthy as possible.
It hasn't been easy.
"I was going to be on the field no matter what," he said. "I said I was going to play every game and not let up."
Fighting words, certainly, but it didn't work out that way. Tanguay went three games without playing the second half, the result of NDSU blowouts that gave the coaching staff the option to rest him.
The Bison have more depth this year in the defensive line, which has allowed the coaching staff to bring Tanguay along at a slower pace.
As a sophomore, Tanguay had 45 tackles with four quarterback hurries and 2.5 sacks. He was on pace with similar statistics last year with 31 tackles in just over eight games before being sidelined.
He has 12 tackles in 11 games this year, although defensive line coach Nick Goeser said that doesn't mean Tanguay's performance has lessened. Tanguay has played about half the snaps that he did his first three seasons.
"I think he has huge value," Goeser said. "When he goes in there, you can see people pointing to him. People know where he is, they're double-teaming him and they try to move him off the line with two or three guys."
Taking up that kind of space, Goeser said, has benefitted the other interior defensive linemen like nose guards Aaron Steidl and Blake Williams and defensive tackles Cole Karcz and Grant Morgan.
"He may not have the numbers what he had last year or his sophomore year but I still think he draws a ton of attention and I still think people have a hard time moving him off the line of scrimmage when teams want to be physical," Goeser said. "They're not moving Nate a whole lot and that's where his big value is."
Tanguay had his knee drained of fluid around the midpoint of the season, a procedure he said has been followed with positive results. He said he had about 75 cubic centimeters removed, or enough to fill two syringes.
"I was like, wow, I can actually begin to bend my knee and then it really started healing," Tanguay said.
The hope is the healing will continue into the offseason. Tanguay said he will train for an NFL shot after the Bison season is completed. And if that doesn't work out, he said, it will be back to his media education.
"We'll see where it takes me but I think it would be a lot of fun and I think I have the voice and personality for it," he said. "Honestly it's because of John Wheeler. He just made it really fun and enjoyable. Getting some experience on the set and see what he does behind the scenes really got me hooked."

One of the best parts of where our apartment is, is that its right next to a little park area with a HUGE playground. The girls both have a favorite thing to play on - the swings!! Our second week here was REALLY cold, and we thought we were in for an early winter. However, this week its really warmed up again (it was in the mid-70's today!) so we've gotten a lot of outside time. We live about a 5 minute walk (if the girls are in the stroller; 15 if they walk, too) from the girls' school. So, there were a few days when we really had to bundle them up!
Well, not ALL outside time. Cailyn came down with a case of Roseola and was out of school all the past week. We were going a little stir crazy by the time her fever broke yesterday and we were all glad when she was able to get outside and play today!
A little Saturday morning reprieve from all the hubbub watching a movie
Ready for school!
All bundled up for the short walk to school
(the playground has old tire pieces instead of sand or bark)Life's so sad when there's no one to push you on the swing...

Feel free to discuss this specification at the bottom of the page.
There is currently no licensing policy expressed on the Ubuntu team wiki and this has caused confusion about whether material can be copied into it and from it. This spec attempts to develop a licensing policy for the team wiki only, in a similar way to that which was adopted for the documentation wiki.
The Ubuntu team wiki does not currently contain any express definition of licensing policy. This means that there is confusion about whether material can or cannot be copied (for example by other projects).
Licensing the material on the wiki under a free license will also mean that it will become possible to copy material from other free sources.
Further, there are reasons of principle to implement such a policy:
- Ubuntu is an operating system promoting free software.
- The very nature of a wiki is that it should be a collaborative effort which encourages the free use of information.
The current copyright notice states that the copyright belongs to Canonical. This seems likely to be legally inaccurate, because copyright belongs to the individuals who create the material, and can only be assigned to another legal person (such as Canonical) by a signature in writing of the copyright holder. We should also take the opportunity to seek to evaluate whether Canonical's purported copyright over wiki material can be put on a principled and lawful footing.
- A copyleft license should be used.
The CC-By-SA license is a good choice, for several reasons:
- It is used by many other parts of the Ubuntu community (e.g. the documentation, the Ubuntu forums, the Official Ubuntu Book)
- It is a popular and well known license.
- There should be a possibility for users to depart from the license where appropriate for non-text items (such as artwork, or code snippets). Free licenses should be used for such items.
A page "License" will be created and populated with the new information. This page can essentially be copied from the help wiki, save that it should state that the license applies unless the particular wiki page states otherwise.
A footer will be added to the team wiki theme which states:
The material on this wiki is available under a free license, see License (link) for details
The wiki will be configured to display the license information on the page edit screen by adding the following lines to wikiconfig.py:
page_license_enabled = 1 page_license_page = u'License'
To be completed after outstanding issues are resolved.
Outstanding Issues
- As stated above, copyright in the material on the team wiki seems likely to belong to those persons who created the material.
- With the help wiki relicensing, the approach taken was to send an email to explain the reasons behind the transition, and to encourage any users who disagree to come forward to discuss and resolve any potential problems. This email was sent to those users who have posted to the wiki since it has been running on moin (a script will be necessary to get a list of those users with their email addresses from the Launchpad authentication and wiki databases). The email was also be sent to the main ubuntu mailing lists, and in general the information should be distributed widely. Then, after a reasonable period, details of the license were put on a prominently linked wiki page, and in the footer, and the wiki was configured so that when creating, editing and/or saving a page the user knew that the material added is released under the CC-By-SA license.
This method was questioned during a recent CommunityCouncil meeting because it does not ensure that express consent is obtained from each copyright holder. The only fullproof method of relicensing material is to (a) ensure that material is assigned to a single copyright holder (such as Canonical), or (b) obtain express consent from all copyright holders. For existing material on the team wiki, either option involves getting some express agreement from all the contributors to the wiki.
- It is unrealistic to expect that we can obtain express consent from every contributor to the team wiki. As a result, we have two options:
- Only apply the new license to new material. This is extremely impractical because it seems extremely difficult to distinguish on the wiki between new material and old material: because of how the wiki works, new material will be intrinsically linked with old material, and adding a license to the wiki would prima facie constitute relicensing of all the material in it.
- Adopt the same approach as with the help wiki, in an attempt to contact as many users as possible, on the basis that (a) given the nature of the wiki as a collaborative project and the philosophy of the Ubuntu project generally, it is very unlikely that users will object to the change and seek to enforce their copyright rights, (b) those that might do so would be likely to respond to the call for feedback, (c) in the unlikely event that an individual does complain about an infringement, the infringement should be capable of removal by removing that individual's material.
- Having said that, if material created on the wiki makes its way onto the CD, an infringement would be impossible to remove.
Having said that, the current position is that the material on the wiki is non-free, so if it has made its way onto the CD already (e.g. by appearing in freely licensed software), and no one has complained about copyright violation so far, relicensing the material seems to make a complaints less likely, rather than more likely.
Copyright Assignment
mdke to investigate whether copyright assignment can be achieved in some way other than via a written signature, such as via a declaration on the wiki edit page.
insert comments here
One use case to consider is that of Canonical developed Training documentation. Currently we develop our materials separate from any community documentation efforts and all training materials are fully copyrighted by Canonical, Ltd. In the future we would like to examine joint efforts of developing documentation. Using a CC-BY-SA license would ensure that both sides could develop and reuse materials. Canonical could only use community developed materials if it is willing to re-release under the same license. (added by Belinda (Dinda) Lopez, 12 Jan 2010)

WASHINGTON -- On Tuesday morning, Abe Pollin placed a call to free agent Gilbert Arenas, who was at a layover in Toronto on the way to China for a promotional trip on behalf of a shoe company.
In the afternoon, the 84-year-old Washington Wizards owner arrived via cart and was helped into a cushioned chair for a news conference for the newly re-signed Antawn Jamison. Although the body appeared frail, the voice and mind where strong and sharp.
"I'm getting a little old and a little sick," Pollin said. "But I'm still around, and I'm going to be around until we win the ... championship. I'm stubborn and hardheaded."
And determined to achieve his goal with the core group that has led his team to four straight playoff appearances. So far, half of the major offseason work has been accomplished.
While negotiations with free agent Jamison were relatively straightforward -- a four-year, $50 million deal that was signed Monday night -- the talks with Arenas will be much more complicated. The Wizards can sign the three-time All-Star point guard to a maximum deal worth roughly $125 million over six years, but Arenas has also said he doesn't want to hamstring the team's ability to sign other players.
Under NBA rules, the Wizards couldn't start negotiating with Arenas until the start of the free agency period on Tuesday -- Jamison's situation was different because Arenas became a free agent by exercising an opt-out clause. The team also can't comment on the talks with Arenas or announce a deal until a league-mandated moratorium expires July 9.
"We've contacted the players, and the process is going to play out," said president Ernie Grunfeld, referring to both Arenas and free agent guard Roger Mason.
Jamison's signing satisfies one condition in the talks with Arenas, who had said he would not return unless the team also kept his longtime teammate.
"I'm confident something will get done," Jamison said. "He just likes to go at his own pace."
Jamison, meanwhile, was lauded with praise from Pollin, who compared the team co-captain to Wes Unseld, who led the Wizards to their only NBA championship in 1978.
"Mr. Pollin, I love you," Jamison replied. "And I'm going to do everything possible to continue to make you happy."
Jamison is coming off perhaps the finest season of his 10-year NBA career: 21.4 points, a career-high 10.2 rebounds and a second appearance in the All-Star game. Although he's 32, Jamison said he's taken good care of himself and is confident he can continue to be a consistent 20-and-10 threat.
"I couldn't go anywhere else. This is where I'm going to end my career," Jamison said. "I totally believe that we have what it takes to hoist the trophy. That's my job. That's the reason I'm here."

Fantasy hits league draft guide for 2017-18
50 players with added value in specific formatby Pete Jensen @NHLJensen / NHL.com Senior Fantasy Editor
If you're in a fantasy hockey league that counts hits, certain players need to be prioritized.
Counting hits as a fantasy category has become increasingly popular in recent years. Just look at the percentage of Yahoo leagues that use hits: this specific league format has grown from 26.5 percent in 2014 to 30.6 percent in 2015 to 33.0 percent in 2016 to 42.3 percent so far in 2017.
In addition to pre-ranking your players on Yahoo using NHL.com's top 250, hits-league fantasy owners should fill their draft queue with players who have produced well in the category in years past in terms of their hits totals and per-game averages.
Below are 50 players who should be targeted in hits leagues. In addition to past performance and future potential, each player is a reliable producer in the hits category and has greater fantasy value than in a points-only format.
FANTASY RANKINGS: Top 250 | Top 100 'F' | C | LW | RW | Top 50 'D' | Top 25 'G'

2017-18 PROJECTIONS: Forward points | D-man points | Goalie wins | Team previews
LISTS: Forward bargains | D-man bargains | Breakouts | Sleepers | Deep sleepers | Rookies
NOTES: Each player's NHL career hits-per-game average has been noted below. ... Hits formats usually count goals, assists, plus/minus, hits, power-play points and shots on goal for skaters. … Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production, line combinations, defense pairs, power-play usage, injury history, age, sleeper/bounce-back/breakout potential and any anticipated regression. ...

|September 9, 1998
|Networking WIN95 PC's to Microsoft networking servers (WIN NT, WIN 95 peer server, etc.) - Microsoft redirector problem (VREDIR.VXD)
|Anthony J. Frates (Copyright 1998 Addsum Business Software, Inc.)
Users on Microsoft networking platforms may experience data file integrity corruption, data file locking, program "hanging" and related problems due to problems in Microsoft's network redirector. (This issue is not specific to Btrieve or any other data file format but applies to any application that runs from or "under" WIN 95 and which shares files on a Microsoft network server such as another WIN95 PC or a WIN NT PC.)
When accessing information on a Microsoft networking server, the WIN95 network redirector (VREDIR.VXD) by default caches data locally for files that are accessed. If either the file size or the modified time does not change within a two second interval, the redirector will read information from the local cache rather than the file on the server. By reading the cached version instead of physically re-reading the file from the server, the latest record information that may have since been updated by another user on the network will not be retrieved and the subsequent integrity of the data file could then be placed into jeopardy. This problem exists in VREDIR.VXD dated prior to 2/11/97. Another, earlier problem with the network redirector occurred because a routine that unlocks and holds a new pending lock in the redirector program did not work correctly in a multithreaded environment. A program might, with that older version, appear to stop responding or give an error message that a data file could not be locked.
Without the VREDIR update and appropriate registry changes, one user could overwrite the posting of another or two users might be allowed to use a data file at the same time without the system issuing a conflict message. New customers, vendors, employees or other records could be lost. Record locking might not occur as it should or a PC could lock-up while posting corrupting data.
Microsoft has an update at: http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/vrdrupd.exe
The file is 215K bytes long. It has new versions of VREDIR.VXD (9-11-97) and VNETSUP.VXD (5-30-97). You will also have to add a registry entry to your 95 machines (this entry will turn off caching at the local PC but only the newer VREDIR will understand it - use REGEDIT to make the change - this next step is not included in Microsoft's knowledge base but is well documented elsewhere):
Binary Value Data=01
If you are using a Windows NT 4 Server as the file manager (i.e. the shared data files reside on a Windows NT 4 Server machine) first turn off optimistic locking at the server and then add a new registry key on the NT 4 Server (or modify the current one if it exists):
Value=EnableOpLocks Dword
Value Data=0
Make these changes to every WIN 95 and NT 4 Server PC on the network. WARNING: using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system to correct them - proceed with caution! We recommend that you back-up your SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT registry files before attempting to make the changes (these are hidden files in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory).
While unrelated to the redirector problem, ensure also that in the Network section of each WIN 95 PC's control panel settings that only those network components that are required are listed; especially check protocols and client settings. Remove any and all IPX/SPX protocols unless there is a specific reason for them to be there (IPX/SPX can cause Btrieve to hang in a non-Novell environment; for example see Microsoft knowledge base article Q150567). Unless a Novell server also exists on the network, no Novell client drivers should be present.
Relevant Microsoft knowledge base articles relating to this issue include: Q165403, Q148367, and Q142803

According to the results of the conducted research at Berkeley (University of California) became known that the cause of the break up of a marriage can be a normal sleep and even the strong marital relationship can be jeopardized.
The research material was all that relates to sleep. In the experiment participated hundred couples living together for two years. Scientists mainly studied the relationship between arguments and how bad was the dream. Eventually it became clear that many quarrels took place on the soil of insomnia at night.
In another study it was found that good sleep leads to peace and balance. This is the first study, the results of which experts have found a link between restless condition and lack of sleep.

It is worth mentioning that researchers from Birmingham University found a correlation that occurs between lack of sleep and improper work of the respiratory organs. The results of such studies have found that healthy night's sleep is enough good for heart health. In the absence of emotions and lack of sleep, the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced by approximately ten percent.

The wide geography of the network, along with the advantageous locations of the Omsk, Moscow and Yaroslavl oil refineries, have enabled Gazprom Neft to take the leading position in the petroleum retail markets of Western Siberia and European Russia.
In 2011 the company sold 5.6 million tons of petroleum products through its retail network, increasing the average pumping at the filling stations by 41% compared to the previous year.

The fact you're wondering how to improve customer satisfaction scores with mystery shopping services https://shoppersconfidential.com/services/ shows you're already on the right track to building a better business. Whether you run a large or small organization, it is essential to check in with your customers, on a fairly regular basis, to ensure they're happy with the services you're providing.
If you begin to notice your customer satisfaction scores are declining, Shoppers Confidential can help you reverse this negative trend by identifying problem areas along the customer conversion funnel. Below, we look at just some of the ways mystery shopping services can support you to improve customer experiences within your business.
Get to Know What Your Competitors Are Up To
Conducting online research regarding your competitors can give you a glimpse of what they may be doing to distinguish themselves and attract and retain the customers you're after. However, it's very difficult to get a more fulsome picture as to how they are conducting business, if you don't get familiar with their processes from a customer's point of view.
Our mystery shoppers will shop your competitors' stores and provide you with a comprehensive report of what type of customer service they're providing. From special offers through to branding and point of sale interactions, we'll report back on the full circle of customer care, so you can regain your competitive edge.
Perfecting Processes and Procedures
Does the way you're doing business make sense? Are you 100 percent convinced how you're conducting day-to-day operations is the best way to be doing it? If you're trusting your gut instinct or just doing things how they've always been done, let our mystery shoppers shed some light on what processes may be getting in the way of (potential) customers' positive interactions with your brand.
Our shoppers don't just let you know what isn't going quite right: they ensure their feedback is actionable. Our reports will contain hard metrics you can address immediately to ensure things are running as smoothly as possible.
Determining If Staff Performance Is Up to Par
You believe in the people you hired, and you want to trust they are conducting themselves in ways that reflect positively on your brand. However, unfortunately, some employees – for whatever reason – are unable to maintain the standards set out by their employers when they were initially brought onto the team.
Make sure every time a customer interacts with a staff member, they are treated with respect and serviced in a timely and effective fashion. This will help reverse and improve customer satisfaction scores, and more importantly, help you secure more returning customers and increase the likelihood they will recommend you to others.
There Are Endless Reasons to Leverage Mystery Shopping Services – and None Not To
Positive customer experiences are what will keep your doors open and help you grow your business. In order to improve your customer satisfaction scores, you need to understand what your target audiences are looking for, how best to deliver it and what you need to do differently in order to achieve this.
Contact Shoppers Confidential today and let us help you help your customers more effectively.

Chinese game and app developers are designing games and applications that seek to preserve the country's cultural heritage and increase interest in its tourist sites.
The designers integrate the country's many iconic tourist sites, including the Forbidden City, in games, as well as design emojis with its ancient heroes, which are used daily on social media.
The Chief Researcher of Tencent Company, one of China's biggest internet companies, Mr Wang Yi, said since the introduction of the innovation last year, there had been an increase in visits to the various tourist sites.
China's tourism
Statistics from the China National Tourism Administration showed that in 2016, 138 million tourists visited China, particularly from its Asian neighbours Vietnam, Burma and South Korea. In the same year, Chinese tourists made 4.44 billion tourism trips.
"Although every country has its share of history, tradition and culture, such things are not in the life of our young people. We have, therefore, partnered game developers and software engineers to preserve the country's culture, heritage and heroes," he stated.
"Tourists are going to the tourist sites to see in real life what they experience in games.
"In the case of the emojis, because they say hilarious things, they are very popular with young people. Millions have been downloaded.

"There are also apps that easily make it possible to match people with ancient terra cotta figures. So our young people are increasingly getting interested in our past," Mr Wang stated at the 2018 Seminar for All Media Reporters in Beijing, China.
The seminar brought together more than 50 journalists and communication officers from 14 countries in four continents.
It sought to equip the participants with insights into China, its media and development to help them understand the Chinese society, as well as tell China's story from an informed perspective.
Online population
China's online population, the largest in the world, had touched 772 million at the end of 2017.
A total of 753 million Chinese use mobile phones to surf the Internet. In rural areas, 209 million out of the country's 576 million rural population were connected to the Internet.
Mr Wang said the internet penetration was high in rural areas because of the government's investment in infrastructure.

The new series of Cake Boss will change EVERYTHING you think you know about baking
Ahead of its eighth series, we look at some of the best cakes cooked up at Carlo's Bakery
THE Great British Bake Off might face an uncertain future - but who needs Mary Berry when you've got Buddy Valastro?
Buddy is the star of TLC's Cake Boss - and the brains behind some of the most awe-inspiring sponges, gateaux and brownies you'll ever feast your eyes on.
While the competitors on GBBO get stressed about one simple sponge, Buddy and his team handcraft nine-foot long ANTS, life size SHAGGY DOGS, GRAND PIANOS and SPORTS BAGS out of huge slabs of moist cake for wealthy and picky clients.
The in-kitchen drama that surrounds their daily workload forms the backbone of Cake Boss, which promises even more baked goodness when it returns to UK screens for its eighth series next month.
There might be a distinct lack of innuendo or cheeky one-liners, but Cake Boss is an international hit.
It's screened in over two hundred countries, and dubbed in to forty-five languages.
On the menu for Season 8 is even more outrageous and delicious cakes served fresh from Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, including a sandcastle cake, a motorcycle jacket cake, a life-size grand piano and a one-of-a-kind Oktoberfest beer cake.
Despite being the best in the business, Buddy still gets a thrill out of work.
He told Parade.com: "I still get a kick out of doing these cakes.
"I'm still so proud of it. I take pictures of every one."
He took over the family business aged just 17, and has since grown from having 60 members of staff to over 2,000 across the US.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQNsva-ImtE]
Things have already got underway in the US, with one of the earliest episodes showing the team making an edible Steinway grand piano.
They made sure it looked as realistic as possible by steaming the icing - and even gave it a snazzy gold floor.
Check out some more of the creations from Carlo's Bakery - and you'll totally forget all about Paul Hollywood's soggy bottom.

Star CrossedBook - 2010
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Wow, I really enjoyed reading this book! It has all my favourite things - fantasy set in a Renaissance-ish period, secrets, princes, and above all, a strong female lead. Celyn or Digger is great - able to quickly adapt to situations, and I like how she changes over the book. The author saves a lot of backstory till near the end although you can guess here and there what Celyn's secrets are. I recommend it for anyone who likes fantasy with a great heroine. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.
An entertaining tale set in a fictional country ruled by an uber-religious autocrat. A professional thief falls in with a family of rebels and ends up unravelling secrets, against the backdrop of the ever-present Inquisition. The book was hard to get into, but I finally started to enjoy it over half-through. One thing I really liked was that Celyn, the main character, doesn't quite fit the stereotypical "guttersnipe" mold, which gets old when every author uses it. Worth getting the sequel, I think.
This is EXACTLY the type of book I love, the setting, plot and characters really had me hooked. Certainly different but I think it kind of is like a Hilari Bell meets Tamora Pierce. I espssialy ( -I know I spelled that word wrong) liked the plot!
I loved this book as in when it finished I was like "no don't finish I don't want you to finish". Can't wait until the next book.
Poison Study meets Tamora Pierce meets Robin McKinley. A great pick for fans of fantasy, adventure, and strong female characters. Fabulous!
Loved this book--great characters, strong historical fantasy. What a fantastic world--I can't wait for the next one and I'm going to check out her first book.
Elizabeth Bunce doesn't shove a SASSY GIRL POWER YOU MUST LOVE HER lead in your face that makes you roll your eyes. She manages to write a female lead who is strong yet flawed and who naturally grows on you. I look forward to the sequel. Good for fans of Tamora Pierce.

Legendary TV newsman Tom Brokaw sexually harassed two NBC staffers during the late 1990s, according to reports late Thursday.
Linda Vester, a former war correspondent and anchor for the network, told Variety that Brokaw groped her, forcibly tried to kiss her on two separate occasions and showed up at her hotel room uninvited.
She did not report the incidents to the police or NBC because she feared she would lose her job, Variety reported. Vester left NBC in 1999 for Fox News, where she worked until 2006.
In a statement issued through Comcast Corp.'s CMCSA, +0.29% NBC, Brokaw denied the accusations. "I met with Linda Vester on two occasions, both at her request, 23 years ago, because she wanted advice with respect to her career at NBC," he said. "The meetings were brief, cordial and appropriate, and despite Linda's allegations, I made no romantic overtures towards her, at that time or any other."
Read: #TooSoon? Report of #MeToo redemption TV show for disgraced men sparks anger
Vester, who was 28 at the time, told Variety about one incident that allegedly occurred in a conference room at NBC's Denver bureau: "Tom Brokaw enters through the door and grabs me from behind and proceeds to tickle me up and down my waist. I jumped a foot and I looked at a guy who was the senior editor of 'Nightly,' and his jaw was hanging open. Nobody acted like anything wrong was happening, but I was humiliated."
"There was a culture at NBC News, in my experience, where women who raise questions about misconduct get labeled as troublemakers," Vester told Variety. "It can torpedo your career. I already knew that, so I didn't want to make any trouble."
The Washington Post also reported Vester's allegations Thursday, and said another, unnamed, female production assistant described Brokaw acting inappropriately toward her as well in the '90s.
Brokaw is the latest powerful media figure to be accused of sexual misconduct since the #MeToo movement took hold over six months ago, starting with allegations of harassment and rape by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. CBS Corp. CBS, -2.08% fired talk-show host Charlie Rose after he was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, and NBC fired morning anchor Matt Lauer over accusations of sexually predatory behavior.
In the same report that mentioned the second accuser against Brokaw, the Washintgton Post said former "Today" show co-host Ann Curry warned NBC in 2012 about Lauer's inappropriate behavior with female staffers. Curry told the Post there was "pervasive verbal sexual harassment at NBC," during her 15 years on the show.

It is no secret that airline firm complaints are on the rise in the USA. Examine Southwest Airlines and their reliance on a single airplane type (the Boeing 737 and derivatives), with the now defunct Japanese Air Strains which operated 17 different plane varieties, every with varying pilot, engine, maintenance, and assist needs.
As quickly as certain proportion of low fares seats are sold out, most airlines push up the costs of airline tickets larger in view of the increased demand. In October 1945, the American Export Airlines grew to become the primary airline to offer common business flights between North America and Europe. For almost all of Austrian Airlines destinations the Web Verify-in opens 47 hours earlier than your scheduled departure time. With the current excessive value of gas, the airlines that use fixed pricing have the higher cut price and the bottom costs. Constitution Carriers – Many airlines fly chartered flights and a few even fly special scheduled flights. Not all airlines provide complimentary meals and drinks, comfy seating, or in-flight leisure.
On July 31, 1946, a chartered Philippine Airlines (PAL) DC-four ferried 40 American servicemen to Oakland , California , from Nielson Airport in Makati City with stops in Guam , Wake Island , Johnston Atoll and Honolulu , Hawaii , making PAL the primary Asian airline to cross the Pacific Ocean An everyday service between Manila and San Francisco was began in December.
Yes, you could examine-in to your Hawaiian Airlines (HA) flight at the airport self-service kiosk from half-hour to 4 hours before the scheduled departure time (relying on your departure city and destination) and obtain a printed boarding move.
I went on the lookout for low cost airline tickets and located the ones going to London and I jumped on them. Airlines appear to regulate their prices all of the time with travel websites, so do a cross comparison. I do not fly fairly often so I used to be excited to check out my airline's iPhone app and join it with Apple's Passbook.

Executive Director
View the complete position description and application instructions here.
Executive Summary
With professional roots in business and the tech industry and family roots in community and civic engagement, Tricia and Jeff Raikes' values and commitment to improving community run deep. As they embarked on their own personal philanthropic journey, they were inspired by their three children and the belief that real change for the future rests with young people. Founded in 2002 and based in Seattle, the Raikes Foundation has been a leader in catalyzing systems-level change and influencing issues related to young people and impact-driven philanthropy. As living donors and trustees of the foundation, Tricia and Jeff Raikes are deeply committed to their philanthropic initiatives and actively engaged in the strategic direction of the foundation.
The Raikes Foundation has invested nearly $115 million in grants since its founding in 2002 and the Raikes have used their name and influence to leverage impact far beyond their dollars. This first phase of giving has evolved an innovative approach to philanthropy that is committed to equity, collaboration, systems transformation, learning, and advocacy. The Raikes' approach, combined with the discipline to invest in programming with catalytic potential, has already led to significant contributions in areas related to youth homelessness and education, and has inspired the development of tools and technologies that will transform the work of philanthropy into the future. The Raikes' commitment to a fresh approach to philanthropy has also attracted a team of exceptional leaders, each a significant contributor to the development of the foundation's strategy and programming. Now at a pivotal moment, the foundation seeks a new Executive Director who will lead the next phase of impact and increased investment for the Raikes Foundation. The Executive Director will be a trusted advisor to the trustees in the further articulation, refinement, and execution of their philanthropic vision and will bring organizational leadership to the foundation that advances that vision.

Day 1
An hour later Precious is standing in the doorway of Café Leon scanning the semi-crowded bar. Omar isn't hard to spot; at least six-foot-two he is head and shoulders above the crowd leaning comfortably against the bar watching her.
Omar's eyes stop momentarily on the swell of her breasts in the deep V of her light wool sweater then continue down to the curve of her hips in her black leggings. Her lips are stained with the deep red lipstick Hope told her was perfect for her chocolate complexion. A light dusting of gold eye shadow completes her makeup, which is a lot for Precious. As she makes her way to the bar, Omar let his gaze rest on her lips. The intensity of it makes Precious blush, but she meets his eyes evenly.

Five Qualities of a Good Funeral Director
Having a death in the family is always a difficult time. Since it can be overwhelming to deal with the details of a funeral, most would hire a funeral director to oversee the preparation before, during, and after the funeral. While you can easily find a funeral director by searching online, what should you look for in a great funeral director? What specific qualities should you consider?
- A good funeral director asks pertinent questions
A funeral director needs to rely on the information supplied by the family of the deceased to effectively do his job. As such, the only way he can obtain the necessary details is to ask questions. You know a funeral director is good if he has attention to details and is proactively asking questions without you having to supply the information yourself. The key is in the littlest details or information asked that will make the funeral surpass your family's expectations.
- A good funeral director listens
You can spot a good funeral director from Your Funeral Choice by the way he listens to you. When a funeral director is attentive to all information provided, he is showing that he cares about you and his job. Dealing with death is challenging for anyone. A good funeral director should allow you to express your feelings first as a way of empathising before proceeding with business details. Listening helps grieving families calm down and be more aware of the process involved with the funeral.
- A good funeral director inspires
Aside from empathy, a good funeral director should know how to encourage grieving families to have hope for the future. It is one thing to be emotional support, but it is better if you can help grieving families move on from their emotional distress to focus on the positive aspects of life.
- A good funeral director is creative
Funeral directors are not only tasked with arranging the technical aspects of a funeral. They should have well-rounded skills which also include event-planning. A good funeral director finds creative ways to help families send off their loved ones and celebrate their life. A funeral director can help with details such as choosing the right flower arrangements and planning the funeral service.
- A good funeral director should have courage
Being courageous as a funeral director means the ability to speak from the heart authentically. There are unique challenges involved with planning and overseeing funerals. If a funeral director does not have the courage for the job, he will not adequately perform his duty come the time he has to deal with the family of the deceased. A good funeral director does not have any pretentions and can face grieving families with compassion yet be firm with certain non-negotiable requirements.
These qualities are only a few of what make a good funeral director. Searching online for a funeral director near you is a good option but consider a face-to-face appointment before finalising your choice.

SNMP is simple UDP based protocol designed to manage computer networks, but recently various embedded systems have also started using this protocol. These devices not only enable the user to manage network specific configurations, but also allow monitoring the status of the device or modifying its setups.
My task was to create an SNMP Interface module for BHE Bonn Hungary Electronic ltd., which is able to connect to IP based networks using Ethernet Protocol. This module needs to implement SNMP and allow users to communicate with the connected telecommunication devices through SNMP. These devices can be connected to the interface module by RS232. The module recognizes the connected device type, implements the communication, and allows the monitoring and configuration of this device via SNMP.
Furthermore, the interface module implements additional features too. It allows direct communication with the connected devices through a software implemented TCP/UART Bridge. It is also possible to transfer huge amount of data through TFTP protocol and upgrade the firmware of the interface module. Finally the device supports DHCP, which makes the connection to networks easier; and an easy self developed UDP based protocol is also implemented to help device discovery via large networks.
In this thesis, I present the major aspects of hardware design, the devices used, and the schematic of the interface module. Finally I describe the implementation of the software: the functions of the SNMP and the communication with telecommunication devices are discussed in this thesis.

The Last Crusade
Ideas have never been our strong point. A childhood wish of having Baked Beans for eyes wasn't the best. But you know, that's Heinz-sight for you.
But we do like the idea of a 'sendawaythetigers' comeback.
'Comeback' is almost seen as a dirty word in 2012; especially if you misspell it.
Everyone is at it, from The Stone Roses to Blur.
The motives for a return have to be sound, possibly noble; The Stone Roses had to come back for a thousand reasons, and the resurrection has been met with universal acclaim.
However the fact that they deserve to in terms of merit alone, that their music defined a genre even, isn't necessarily enough.
By that token you could suggest that Gary Glitter shines up his platform boots and squeezes into his pvc armour for one last hurrah.
At the same time you could ask Ian Huntley to dig out his secateurs (if there is one thing that you can say about Ian Huntley it's that he's a beautiful groundsman).
No. The reasons for a 'sendawaythetigers' comeback are primarily because we were good weren't we?
You love us. A smart mix of wit and satire, life and nonsense, morals and thought.
There's not a lot of that about online today.
Blogs and Fanzines are available to all and that means any wannabe scribe can pick up a keyboard and let loose.
Competition is consequentially another factor. Sabotage Times has 700,000 viewers per month. It's contributors struggle to spell contributors and exist on Cock puns.
We want to provide an alternative.
In truth we've hardly been away – and writing this probably just confirms our delusions.
There's been nothing new from us for a month or so now; mostly because real life has limited our activity.
But this is a call to arms.
There may be some changes – aesthetically possibly and hopefully more writers too (see the 'Contact' section to get in touch) – but our core team are committed to the cause.
This is our last crusade. No one's listening anyway.

With only 383 in existence, obtaining one is like getting a key to your own private kingdom. In a world that's under siege by NSA surveillance and the social networks, privacy is no longer our precious status.
That is, unless you've made it to New York City. There, an oasis called Gramercy Park allows entry for a small select group to a private green space that's been fenced off from the "madding crowd" for more than 180 years.
New York Times columnist Robin Finn described the urban visionary who developed the idea. "Samuel B. Ruggles . . . in 1831 deeded two acres of his property to be used as an ornamental park." He saw a neighborhood of "discreet" mansions that would shield the acreage from "interlopers."
Recent events
A section of Gramercy Park was received historic district designation on Sept. 20, 1966. On July 12, 1988, the original boundaries were expanded. The Gramercy Park historic district was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Real estate
A select number of Realtors feature home sales and rentals in Gramercy Park. Keller Williams Realty, located on Park Avenue, is one of the few. The firm has a proven track record of sales throughout Manhattan and has earned a sound reputation for finding the right accommodations, inside and adjacent to the Gramercy Park neighborhood.
What's available?
Finn notes that out of the 383 keys manufactured for park users, 126 are building keys managed by doormen or concierges and signed out by residents. "The other 257 are so-called 'personal' keys: for $350 a year, a condo or co-op owner disinclined to borrow a key from the doorman can buy his or her very own key," says Finn.
Gramercy Park Hotel
People who want to test the waters to find out what's so special about having a key to this exclusive enclave, can book a room at the Gramercy Park Hotel.
The hotel is a modern take on a traditional grand New York hotel, with custom-designed, handcrafted furnishings, and a rotating collection of 20th century artwork. Overnight stays entitle guests to a special day pass to the park.
If you're interested in learning more, check with Keller Williams Realty or the Gramercy Park Hotel staff. Certainly having a key to the kingdom in today's world of limited privacy would provide you with an opportunity to stop and smell the roses before returning to the hustle of the city that never sleeps.

Primary night in Cumberland County was a short election night. The unofficial vote count was in before 10 p.m. With 77 of 77 precincts reporting, under 11 percent of registered voters cast a vote May 8. In Cumberland County there are 212,458 registered voters out of a total population of 332,546. Only 23,135 people made it a priority to have a say in who will run in the midterm elections Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Midterm elections are the elections held near the midpoint of the president's four-year term. Every two years, voters elect Congress members, the 435 members of the House of Representatives. Across the country, votes will also be cast for 35 Senate seats and 39 governorships, but North Carolina is not affected. Senators get elected to six-year staggered terms. Governors get elected to four-year terms.
Cumberland County is partitioned into two congressional districts, Districts 8 and 9, of North Carolina's 13 districts. District 8 includes all of Cabarrus, Montgomery, Moore, Hoke and Stanly counties, as well as portions of Rowan and Cumberland counties. District 9 consists of Union, Anson, Richmond, Scotland and Robeson counties. It also includes a southeast portion of Mecklenburg county, and most of Bladen and Cumberland counties. Where you live in Cumberland County will determine which congressman in the House of Representatives represents you. Generally speaking, District 8 is the northern part and District 9 takes a larger portion in the southern part of the County.
The District 8 Democratic primary winner is Frank Mcneill. Mcneill won with 15,965 (56.11percent) votes across the district. In Cumberland County, Mcneill carried the vote with 6,411 (52.86percent) votes cast here. His opponents were Scott Huffman and Marc Tiegel. Huffman tallied 6,545 (23 percent) votes district wide and county wide 2,175 (19.76 percent). Tiegel fared better than Huffman county wide with 2,420 (21.99 percent) and district wide finished below Mcneill and Huffman with 5,941 (20.88 percent) votes. Mcneill will challenge incumbent Rep. Richard Hudson, who ran unopposed in the primary.
District 9 will see new leadership. Incumbent Rep. Robert Pittenger had two challengers, Rev. Mark Harris and Clarence Goins Jr. In Cumberland County, Pittenger brought in 44.19 percent over Harris's 31.92 percent and Goins' 23.89 percent. Pittenger won the county by 12.27 percent over Harris. But it was not enough for him to get reelected to the House. It was a tight race across the district. Harris won the seat with 17,224 (48.52 percent) of total votes cast. Pittenger won 16,411 (46.23 percent) votes, losing his seat by 813 votes, or 2.29 percent. Speaking on Harris' win, Frank Raczof the Cumberland County Tea Party Group, which endorsed Harris, said, "It is refreshing to see Pastor Harris move the House of Representatives and the Republican Party to the right."
Harris will run up against the winner of the Democrat primary, Dan McCready. McCready had an easy victory over his opponent Christian Cano. In Cumberland County, McCready secured 2,829 (76.46 percent) of the votes cast. Across the district, he won 37,824 (82.83 percent) of the total votes cast. Cano picked up 7,838 (17.17 percent) across the district and in the county 871 (24.54 percent) votes.
This November, the Democrats have a chance to pick up two seats in Cumberland County.
There were two North Carolina State Senate race primaries, both for the Democrat Party. Former Town Councilman Kirk deViere won just under 2/3 of the votes for North Carolina State Senate District 19. Primary voters cast 5,248 (62.62 percent) votes for deViere over Clarence Donaldson's total of 3,132 (37.37 percent) votes. Winner deViere will challenge incumbent State Sen. Wesley Meredith, who did not have a challenger.
In the North Carolina State Senate District 21 primary, Naveed Aziz beat incumbent State Sen. Ben Clark by 275 votes. She collected 3,814 (51.87percent) votes over 3,539 (48.13 percent) votes for Clark. Republican newcomer Timothy Leever, who was uncontested, will challenge Aziz for the District 21 seat in November's general election.
Democrats had a primary for North Carolina House of Representatives District 43. Incumbent Rep. Elmer Floyd remains the party choice. Floyd won his district overwhelmingly with 3,880 (79.18percent) votes. His challengers, Theresa Gale and Prince Christian, garnered 889 (18.14 percent) and 131 (2.67 percent) respectively. Republican John Czajkowski, who was unopposed, will challenge Floyd for the seat.
Voters made their choice firmly known in the North Carolina House of Representatives District 44 Republican primary. Voters chose former Republican Cumberland County Party Chair Linda Devore with 1,528 (67.02 percent) votes over challenger Patrick Petsche, who picked up 752 (32.98percent) of the votes. Devore said upon her victory, "I'm very happy with today's primary. It's a little disappointing to not have larger numbers of voters turn out who are interested. But those who are interested have been heard, and that's great. I look forward to representing our party on the November ballot. I'm looking forward to the race. The campaign starts tomorrow." Devore will challenge incumbent State Rep. Billy Richardson, who did not have any challengers.
In the Cumberland County Clerk of Superior Court race, incumbent Lisa Scales won her Democrat Party primary with a solid countywide victory. Scales pulled in 12,921 (82.78 percent) votes over Eschonda Hooper, who managed 2,687(17.22 percent) votes. Cindy Blackwell, who had no opponents for the Republican primary, will challenge Scales.
November's Cumberland County Sheriff's race looks to be a competitive one. The Democrat primary was decidedly won by incumbent Sheriff Ennis Wright, who secured his position with 13,003 (82.70 percent) votes. Opponents Jeff Marks pulled 1,890 (12.02 percent) votes, and Denny Davis gathered 831 (5.28 percent) votes. The Republican primary was also determined by a wide margin. Charlie Baxley locked in the Republican nomination with 3,669 (53.98 percent) votes. The other three candidates accumulated 46 percent collectively. Carlton Sallie garnered 1,164 (17.13 percent) votes, Victor Starling collected 1,020 (15.01 percent) votes, and LaRue Williams picked up 944 (13.89percent) votes.
The midterm General Election will be held Tuesday,Nov. 6. Campaign signs may be pulled up until around Labor Day when you will see them sprout again, but the campaigns are just starting.
