Steelers need to use training camp to get offense off to faster start in 2014
One thing the Pittsburgh Steelers had difficulty with during the 2013 NFL Season was getting their offense into sync at the beginning of games, forcing them to play catchup in order to win games. It wasn't until offensive coordinator Todd Haley began opening up the offense with more no-huddle and letting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger be more of a field general, calling plays and reading defenses to select ones that would get the receivers open and Le'Veon Bell involved in a more-effective running game. For the Steelers to be successful, the offense will need to use training camp to utilize an offense that can carry them into the preseason and regular season and get the team off to a faster start against their 2014 opponents.
In 16 opening drives in 2013, the Steelers were only able to score ten points overall. During that same time period, Pittsburgh managed a single touchdown. They opened the preseason with four losses and carried the inability to get on the scoreboard early into the mid-season. One of the biggest issues was ball-control. Turnovers kill offensive drives, and the Steelers were guilty of 11 in their first four games, translating into the losses.
Comparing their early struggles to the second half of the regular season, the Steelers only turned the ball over seven times, still something that needs to be addressed, but better ball-control helped them win six of their final eight games.
When Haley turned more control over to Roethlisberger, the team found a rhythm. The offense averaged just under 28 points per game in the last half of their season. "We just had to put an emphasis on protecting the football at all costs because when you turn the ball over in this league you really hurt your chances of winning games," said Haley. As for the final eight games? Haley said, "I think the guys just took it to heart and focused on protecting the football." Garnering the faith that was needed and creating a better relationship with his coordinator, Roethlisberger put his own in Fernando Velasco and Cody Wallace to get him the ball due to the injury to Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey. Bell ramped up the running game and it opened up the passing game, even against teams that had stout defenses.
"I think a lot of the guys that were here [in 2013] and are still here…know what we have to accomplish," admitted Haley. "We are all interested in building off of that [2013] finish."
The Steelers first step to starting faster was to re-establish the running game by bringing in offseason addition LeGarrette Blount in free agency and drafting Dri Archer. "We have to run the football better, which we started to do in the second half of the season," said Haley.
Getting a healthy offensive line back in training camp and working on an offense that gets off to a quicker start with the aid of line coach Mike Munchak will be key to getting the running game to the next level in 2014. That line was able to protect Roethlisberger and allow him to have time to extend plays that would have resulted in a loss of downs earlier in the season. Bringing in a young, fresh offensive line to Latrobe that has respect for all that Munchak has given them during minicamp should produce the results the Steelers are looking for.
"When you can throw it as well as we did with the run game not exactly where we wanted it (in the first half of 2013) that tells you that you have a chance to be good," added Haley. "When you are running the football it makes throwing it a heck of a lot easier. Running is a big part of what we have to do here going forward successfully."
Protecting the ball
Establishing the run early to open the passing game
Being effective along the offensive line to provide run blocking and pass protection
The plan seems simple, but it will take a unified effort among every player on the Steelers roster to make it happen in 2014. Latrobe will be the starting line. Only the play of the Steelers in 2014 can determine the finish line.
Steelers teams that got hot early in games and saw success
2004 – The "heartbreak season" that ended with a loss in the Conference championships to the New England Patriots was highlighted by a streak of one win and one loss before taking off under Roethlisberger (as a rookie) to have a 15-1 win/loss record. The Steelers won every game at Heinz Field except for the playoff loss in 2004. The Steelers matched or out-scored their opponents in the first quarter of every regular season game but two.
1995 – Despite an 11-5 regular season record, the Steelers advanced to the Super Bowl where they lost to the Dallas Cowboys (Super Bowl XXX). In the five losses, the Steelers were outscored in the first quarter twice and outscored in the first half in five.
While these two seasons are only a small selection, statistically they point out that teams that get ahead and stay ahead typically manage successful seasons. It isn't a revelation. It's a fact that to consistently win, teams must engage their offenses and keep them in full gear for a full 60 minutes.

Steele gets GOP gavel
First Black to lead Republican Party
By NSnews Staff
POSTED: February 02, 2009, 12:00 am
After weeks of drama, the Republican Party has made its choice for party chairperson and they have selected Michael Steele, the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland. After six rounds of voting, he defeated his lone standing opponent Katon Dawson, 91-77. Steele was one of two Blacks in contention and is the first to lead the party. His selection comes as the GOP finds itself on the outs in the nation's capital.
One of Steele's first tasks is to position the party in national policy debates at a time a wildly popular Democratic President, Barack Obama, the first Black to occupy the White House, has endeared himself with much of the American public. Steele will not only find it challenging to counter the Obama White House but he will also have to contend with elements in his own party that do not practice a nuanced approach to dissent. Taming the beast within the GOP may keep the new chairman busy as he tries to become the public face of the party.
On a Sunday appearance on the Fox News Channel's "Fox News Sunday," Steele appeared ready to confront elements within his own party. "I think it's an opportunity for us now to move this party forward on the ideas that matter to the voters, and so I'm not in the mood to have people stand in the way and say, 'We can't. We've always done it this way. It's impossible to do.'"
Steele also raised taking on poverty as a new focus of the Republican Party in response to a question from host Chris Wallace asking for an example of a new idea the party could pursue. The new chairman said, "Well, a new idea would be let's focus on poverty. Let's focus on how we can take someone who is being poorly educated in an American public school and how they are poorly trained for a job, and put in place those opportunities for them to get that education, give their parents choice in education, make it real for them."
Michael Steele was raised in northwest Washington, D.C. and graduated from Archbishop Carroll Roman Catholic High School where he was elected the president of the student council. He went on to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and earned an undergraduate degree in international relations in 1981. Steele then went on to enroll at the Order of St. Augustine to prepare for the priesthood but left the Seminary prior to taking his vows. He opted instead for a career in law and enrolled in Georgetown University Law Center, and received his law degree in 1991. He spent several years at a Washington, D.C. firm before establishing a business and legal consulting firm.
Steele started his career in Republican politics as chairman of the Prince George's County Republican Committee. He quickly established himself as a rising star within state Republican politics and in 2000 became chair of the Maryland Republican Party. He was the first Black to lead a state Republican Party. Just two years later then Congressman Robert Ehrlich, the Republican nominee for governor, chose Steele as his running mate and the party nominee for Lieutenant Governor. The Ehrlich-Steele ticket became the first Republican team to capture the Maryland State House in almost four decades. Steele's politics are not easy to typecast and make it difficult for detractors to criticize. He is pro-life but opposes the death penalty, and as Lieutenant Governor worked hard to reform the state's Minority Business Enterprise program. Despite his early success, Steele lost a bid for the Senate in 2006 in a campaign that was marked by high-level staff resignations and public relations blunders. Following his failed Senate run Steele became chairman of GOPAC and a partner in the Dewey & LeBoeuf law firm.
Steele will have to use all of his rhetorical skills and personality to make inroads into his own community. He will likely first look toward the Latino community to make some headway since the party believes it is more aligned with Latinos on cultural and religious matters. It lost significant ground over the issue of immigration as Latinos shifted to the Democratic Party during the recent presidential election. The GOP faces an uphill climb with both Black and Latino voters since neither constituency is monolithic and previous attempts to use a "one size fits all" strategy to court both groups has failed. If Steele's notion of pitching a "big tent" is rejected by the white party faithful, he will preside over the continued erosion of his party. While the fine points of public policy will be debated, what the Republican Party has ignored to its own peril is the nation's rapidly changing demographics. If Steele cannot center the GOP it will likely be reduced to a reactionary, regional party.

As had been widely expected, PLO chief and Fatah candidate Mahmud Abbas won Sunday's election handily, thus succeeding the late Yasser Arafat as president of the Palestinian Authority.
Figures released by the Palestinian Central Election Committee in Ram Allah on Monday showed that Abbas won slightly over 62% of the 775,146 ballots cast at some 2800 polling stations throughout the West Bank and theGaza Strip.
Abbas' closest challenger, the independent centre-left candidate Mustafa Barghuthi, came second, receiving 153,516 votes amounting to 19.8% of the total ballots cast.
Bassam Salhi of the Palestine People's Party (PPP) with 20,844 votes or 2.9%; Taysir Khalid of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), with 27,118 votes or 3.5%.
Abd al-Halim al-Ashqar, the independent Islamist candidate, who is under house arrest in the US for allegedly helping Hamas, received 20,774 or 2.68%; Abd al-Karim Shbair of Gaza received 5874 votes or 0.86%; and Sayid Baraka, also based in Gaza, who received 9809 votes, or 1.27% of the total ballots cast.
Fatah had hoped Abbas would win close to 70% of the votes, which then would give him a clear mandate to negotiate with Israel a possible final-status peace settlement.
Moreover, in Fatah's view, a massive victory would have greatly enhanced the status and image of the movement in the run-up to the forthcoming local and parliamentary elections, especially after its relatively modest achievements in recent municipal elections.
Set against this backdrop, Abbas' victory does not seem as overwhelming as it is being cracked up to be.
It is amply clear by now that Hamas' decision to boycott of the elections had significantly affected voter turnout despite claims and denials to the contrary.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) made desperate last-minute efforts to increase the turnout, first by extending the voting time by two additional hours and then by allowing non-registered voters to cast their votes.
However, even these measures failed to dissuade a full 50% of eligible voters (registered and non-registered) from either boycotting the elections or from voting for Islamist and quasi-Islamist candidates.
In the final count, of an estimated 1,120,000 registered voters, a total of 77,2500 (62%) chose to exercise their franchise. Conversely, up to 38% of registered voters opted to stay home on election day.
It is further worth noting that more than 5% of the voters backed the Islamist and quasi-Islamist candidates and another roughly 7% cast blank or invalid ballots.
This suggests that tens of thousands of Hamas supporter and sympathisers did not heed the movement's boycott call and chose to vote for the two Gaza-based independents and Abd al-Halim al-Ashqar (who received 20774 votes).
Extrapolated to a (conservatively) estimated 1.5 million eligible-voter population (that is, those above 18 years of age of 18), it would seem that Abbas got the backing of 33%.
For his part, Mustafa Barghuthi won 153,516 votes or 19.8% out of the 775,146 ballots cast. As a proportion of the total registered-voter population, this figure shrinks to 13.9% and further to 10.2% as a proportion of the overall eligible-voter population (1.5 million).
Barghuthi ran an impressive and well-oiled campaign (raising questions in some quarters about the sources of his campaign finance), and few will grudge him the satisfaction that he has evidently drawn after coming second in the election.
A community activist and trained physician, Barghuthi has for many years been at the forefront of an effective yet non-violent resistance to Israeli occupation, including protests against the West Bank separation barrier.
In several TV interviews on Monday, Barghuthi proclaimed his movement, Al-Mubadara or The Initiative, the second force in the Palestinian political arena, implying that Hamas had somehow been relegated to the third place.
But this declaration is at once premature and fanciful.
For one thing, many of those who supported Barghuthi didn't really subscribe to the leftist world-view of this former leader of the Palestinian Communist Party. Their attraction to him seemed to have been more a reflection with their distrust of Abbas than any sudden infatuation with his social-democratic ideology.
For another thing, Barghuthi's supporters hailed from diverse ideological backgrounds, encompassing former communists, disgruntled Fatah supporters, PFLP followers and many ordinary people who were drawn to his cause merely by his amiable personality.
In any event, it is highly unlikely that Barghuthi's Al-Mubadara will be able, at least in the foreseeable future, to unseat Hamas, a movement widely considered to be second among equals vis-à-vis Fatah in terms of popularity, from its present pre-eminence and prominence.
Indeed, Barghouthi's Al-Mubadara fared ratherly poorly in the 23 December mayoral elections in some 26 Palestinian towns and villages.
There is no question that Barghuthi's election performance will revitalise his movement's municipal and parliamentary election campaign, scheduled for April and July respectively.
But any comparison between Al-Mubadara and Hamas or Fatah would be wishful thinking.
Shorn of the media hype, Abbas's respectable victory in Sunday's presidential election has given him a certain mandate to convert his political agenda into reality.
This includes his pledges to improve the living conditions of ordinary Palestinians, the bulk of whom are mired in poverty and unemployment, as well to fight corruption within the PA.
Palestinians also expect Abbas to end the chaos that reigns in large parts of the Occupied Territories as a result of the near-collapse of the law-and-order machinery.
Above all, many ordinary Palestinians, fed up with more than four years of harsh Israeli repression, expect him to try to work out a truce between Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas, and Israel. Such a deal might enable Palestinians to reclaim a semblance of normal life.
By most accounts, Abbas will find Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups more cooperative in accomplishing this objective. But most Palestinians believe the electoral mandate does not grant him an open-ended licence to compromise on the core political issues, notably the status of Jerusalem and the right of return of refugees.
The big question on the minds of many Palestinians now is whether Abbas will remain faithful to the promises he made and the undertakings he gave during his election campaign. Or whether he will succumb to combined US-Israeli pressure to abandon them. Only time, it seems, will tell.

Force and Temperature
Meaning of Separation
On a day-to-day basis, we are faced with various instances after we are required to separate substances from one another.
The removal of substances from a mix of two or more substances.
Churning milk to obtained butter
Separating stones from rice and wheat.
We carry out the separation of the components of a mix or an impure substance with the
following purposes:
To remove the not useful or harmful component
To obtain the useful component
To remove impurities for getting a pure sample
Pure Substance and Impure Substances
The substance which contains only one kind of particle are called Pure substances.
For Example: Water
The substance which contains more than one kind of particles is called Impure substances.
For Example: A plate of rice is mixed with some stones.
Some of the methods of separation of substances are:
Handpicking
Threshing
Winnowing
Decantation
Handpicking:
This method is used for separating small particles of dirt, stone, husk, etc., from the grains of wheat, rice, pulses, etc.
It is used by people working in small industries.
You may have seen your mother cleaning dal or rice by using handpicking method.
Threshing:
Grains or seeds of plants like rice and wheat serve as sources of food.
The flour (atta) that's used for creating chapattis is formed from wheat grains.
After these crops are harvested or cut, the grains got to be separated from the stalks (the dried stems). this can be done by threshing.
This method is mainly used in agriculture.
Winnowing:
Winnowing are often used to separate lighter and heavier components of a mixture.
For Example: To separate husk from grain with the help of air.
Sieving:
Sieving may be a very simple, convenient and time-saving process.
In this particles of varying sizes may be separated from one another with the help of a sieve.
A sieve is nothing but an easy device with small pores in it which permit finer materials like flour to pass through leaving behind any impurities it would contain.
Sedimentation:
The process of separating insoluble solids, suspended during a liquid, by allowing them to settle down is termed sedimentation.
The solid particles that settle down during sedimentation are called sediments.
Decantation:
The process of pouring out the clear upper liquid without disturbing the sediments is termed decantation.
The liquid above the sediments is termed a superannuate.
Filtration:
The process by which two substances (an insoluble solid and a liquid) are separated by passing the mixture through a filtering device is termed filtration.
Filtration is usually utilized in our homes. For example, after preparing tea, we filter the tea leaves using a strainer.
Filtration is also done to get rid of pulp from fresh fruit juice.
Water may also contain solid impurities, which may be removed by filtration.
Evaporation:
The process during which a liquid changes into a gas is termed evaporation.
Define Condensation?
The process in which gas changes into liquid is termed condensation.
Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.
In nature, water vapour in the air condenses to make its liquid form, the dew.
Condensation takes place only if water vapour hits a chilly surface.
When a soluble substance is dissolved completely in a liquid (say sugar in water), a homogeneous mixture is made. it's called a solution.
A solution in which no more soluble substance may be dissolved at room temperature is termed saturated solution.
1. Why do we need to separate different components of a mixture? Give two examples.
When two or more substances are mixed together they form a combination. Components of a mixture should be separated because some components might not be useful or may spoil the useful component of the mixture.
Tea leaves are separated from the liquid with a strainer, while preparing tea
Removal of stone pieces from wheat, rice or pulses by hand
2. What is winnowing? Where is it used?
Winnowing are often used to separate lighter and heavier components of a mixture. This method is used by farmers to separate lighter husk particles from heavier seeds of grain.
3. How will you separate husk or dirt particles from a given sample of pulses before cooking?
Husk and dirt particles are separated from pulses by winnowing.
4. What is sieving? Where is it used?
Sieving may be a very simple, convenient and time-saving process through which particles of varying sizes may be separated from one another with the help of a sieve.
It is utilized in a flour mill to separate impurities like husk and stones from wheat before grinding it. It's also used at construction sites to separate pebbles and stones from sand.
5. How will you separate sand and water from their mixture?
The mixture is allowed to stand without any disturbances. Now sand settles down. Slowly pour the water into another container to get sand within the bottom.
6. Is it possible to separate sugar mixed with wheat flour? If yes, how will you do it?
Yes, it is possible to separate sugar mixed with wheat flour by the following method:
Mix wheat flour and in water.
Stir the solution to allow sugar to dissolve.
Now filter it.
After that filtrate contains sugar solution and residue will be flour.
7. How would you obtain clear water from a sample of muddy water?
We use a filter paper that's fixed within the funnel.
Then the mixture is poured on the filter paper.
Mud particles being larger in size will remain on the filter paper whereas clear water will undergo it.
8. Fill up the blanks
(a) The method of separating seeds of paddy from its stalks is called threshing.
(b) When milk, cooled after boiling, is poured onto a piece of cloth the cream (malai) is left behind on it. This process of separating cream from milk is an example of filtration.
(c) Salt is obtained from seawater by the process of evaporation.
(d) Impurities settled at the bottom when muddy water was kept overnight in a bucket. The clear water was then poured off from the top. The process of separation used in this example is called decantation.
9. True or false?
(a) A mixture of milk and water can be separated by filtration.
(b) A mixture of powdered salt and sugar can be separated by the process of winnowing
(c) Separation of sugar from tea can be done with filtration.
(d) Grain and husk can be separated with the process of decantation.
a) False b) False c) False d) False
10. Lemonade is prepared by mixing lemon juice and sugar in water. You wish to add ice to cool it. Should you add ice to the lemonade before or after dissolving sugar? In which case would it be possible to dissolve more sugar?
Ice should be added to lemonade after dissolving sugar. It's possible to add more sugar before adding ice.
Slow change:
Those changes which happen during a long period of time.
These changes take place slowly and gradually.
Rusting of iron
germination of seeds
Fast change:
Those changes which occur in a very short time.
These changes occur very fast.
Bursting a balloon
Burning of paper
Chemical changes:
These are the changes within which chemical properties of a substance change, and a brand new substance is made .
For instance , cooking of food.
Baking a chapatti
Burning of candle
What are the Characteristics of chemical changes:
Properties of products are different from the properties of reactants.
Most of the chemical changes are irreversible.
These changes always lead to energy changes.
Physical changes:
These are the changes during which only physical property of a substance changes and no new substance is created.
Tearing of paper
Melting of wax
Melting of ice
Crushing can
What are the Characteristics of physical changes?
No new substances are formed.
Products are similar to the reactants.
These changes are reversible.
Reversible changes:
These are the changes that may be reversed.

Water turning into vapour
Inflation of baloon etc.
Irreversible changes:
These are the changes which can't be brought back to its original state.
Ripening of fruits
blooming of flowers.
Contraction:
A process in which an object becomes smaller or shrinks is termed contraction.
A process during which liquid changes into vapour is named evaporation.
A process in which an object becomes bigger in size, e.g., metals expand on heating.
Melting:
A process during which a solid melts to become a liquid on heating is called melting.
A constant temperature at which a solid starts melting.
This temperature is termed the melting point of that solid.
Freezing:
A process during which liquid changes into solid form is named freezing.
A push or a pull acting on a body which tends to vary its state of rest or motion is termed a force.
It brings changes by causing increase or decrease in temperature.
1. To walk through a waterlogged area, you usually shorten the length of your dress by folding it. Can this change be reversed?
Yes, this change can be reversed.
It is a physical change where we are changing the shape of the dress.
2. You accidentally dropped your favorite toy and broke it. This is a change you did not want. Can this change be reversed?
No, this change can't be reversed.
It is an irreversible change.
Toy is made in a factory and cannot be joined again.
3. Some changes are listed in the following table. For each change, write in the blank column, whether the change can be reversed or not.
Sl No
Can be reversed Yes/No
The sawing of a piece of wood
The melting of ice candy
Dissolving sugar in water
The cooking of food
The ripening of a mango
Souring of milk
4. A drawing sheet changes when you draw a picture on it. Can you reverse this change?
If the picture is created by pencil on drawing sheet, we can erase the drawing by using an eraser, it's a reversible change.
But if draw a picture using the sketch pens or ink pen, then we cannot erase such picture. Thus it becomes an irreversible change.
5. Give examples to explain the difference between changes that can or cannot be reversed.
Examples of Reversible Changes:
Filling glass with juice
Melting of Ice into water. By freezing the water we can obtain ice again.
Folding a paper: By unfolding it, we can undo the change.
Hot milk to cold milk: By boiling milk, we can make it warm.
Open and Close the door
Examples of Irreversible Changes:
Curdling of milk
Bud to flower
Cutting a wood into wood pieces
Ripening of fruit
6. A thick coating of a paste of Plaster of Paris (POP) is applied over the bandage on a fractured bone. It becomes hard on drying to keep the fractured bone immobilized. Can the change in POP be reversed?
No, the change in POP can't be reversed.
When water is added to POP, it undergoes a chemical change.
Its composition changes and is converted into another substance.
7. A bag of cement lying in the open gets wet due to rain during the night. The next day the sun shines brightly. Do you think the changes, which have occurred in the cement, could be reversed?
No, the changes which have occurred in the cement couldn't be reversed.
Cement sets into a hard mass on mixing with water.
The hard mass obtained can't be converted back to cement.
Therefore, it's essential to keep cement faraway from rain otherwise it'll become a hard mass which is of no use.

Drones, augmented reality, wearables and edge-to-cloud solutions were the highlights of the largest annual electric power transmission and distribution conference in the U.S. This year's DistribuTECH did not fail to deliver; bringing together the world's smart utility community and technology leaders on all things energy in sunny San Diego, California. At the Intel booth, we showcased some of our coolest technology on the market, alongside demos from our partners at SaS Software, Candi Controls, Alarm.com, Schneider Electric, Advantech, and more. If you didn't get a chance to stop by our booth this year, here's an overview of the demos.
Intel has worked with a number of vendors to develop robust and hardened IoT gateways shown in this demo. The gateways help OEMs and SIs accelerate the delivery of solutions in the energy industry, particularly with respect to distribution grid management systems. On display were devices from ADLINK, Advantech, Dell, and NEXCOM.
At the end of the week, more than 12,000 professionals from over 78 countries joined us to network and discuss everything from grid optimization to analytics, IoT, cyber security and more. Attendees took the opportunity to ask us questions, schedule informal meetings to discuss partnerships, and demo many of our latest technology offerings that are helping build a smarter, more reliable energy grid.
One topic that seemed to come up repeatedly this year is how to deal with the growing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) and their ever-growing microgrids. Some fear the energy grid is expanding faster than today's control methods and tools can handle. We're addressing those concerns with IoT-based smart edge devices that can monitor voltage and produce power quality data by collecting, digitizing, and reporting metrology data using high performance utility networks for increased stability and reliability.
What are some of your key findings from this year's conference? Questions? Tell us below.
We're looking forward to seeing you next year in San Antonio for DTECH 2018!
Follow us on Twitter at @IntelEnergy for updates and more.

Richard castle novels ghost writer
Storm Front (Derrick Storm, #4) by Richard Castle
With the help of a beautiful and mysterious foreign agent--with whom Storm is becoming romantically and professionally entangled--he discovers that Volkovs treachery has embroiled a wealthy hedge-fund manager and a U.S. senator. In a heated race against time, Storm chases Volkovs shadow from Paris, to the lair of a computer genius in Iowa, to the streets of Manhattan, then through a bullet-riddled car chase on the New Jersey Turnpike. In the process, Storm uncovers a plot that could destroy the global economy--unleashing untold chaos--which only he can stop.

Who Writes Richard Castle Books?
Rowling wrote and sold a couple of books mentioned as part of the Hogwarts curriculum in the Harry Potter series, but this kind of two-way feedback between the series and its tie-ins is impressive to see, particularly from my perspective as a tie-in author. But Naked Heat feels closer to the Castle formula, with more suspect-bouncing and more shifts of narrative viewpoint, and with the writer character Jameson Rook being more an equal partner in the crimesolving. I enjoyed those aspects. Naked Heat is better, about 50 percent longer, but still a little slim. For another, whoever the ghostwriter is, he or she or they?
New York City public defender Macie Wild takes the homicide case of a burglar the tabloids nickname the Buzz Killer for his MO of lobby-buzzing apartments to select his targets. But when he is the victim of an attempted jailhouse killing and then someone tries to kill Macie, her murder case reveals itself to be something bigger. In spite of her misgivings about his methods, Macie and Gunnar form an uneasy partnership fraught with moral conflicts and romantic sparks. In constant danger from a ruthless contract killer, they collide with an unscrupulous pharmaceutical CEO, a playboy prince, rogue FBI agents, a high-tech cat burglar, a sadistic call girl, plus a scheme to launder illegal Russian billions through Manhattan luxury real estate. Hardwick, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, falls from a grace, and to survive he's now part of the Hollywood paparazzi.
He is portrayed by Nathan Fillion. The name Richard Castle is also used as a pseudonym under which a set of real books about the characters Derrick Storm and Nikki Heat, based on the books mentioned in the television series, are written. These books have achieved success, becoming New York Times bestsellers. Actor Nathan Fillion appears as the face of Richard Castle on the books and on the official website, and participates in book signings. According to Fillion, the character's name "Rick Castle" was noted by the show creator as sounding like "Rich Asshole" and says that this reflects his character. Andrew Marlowe explained that he designed Castle's character as one that presents a "storytelling point of view" as a counterpoint to Beckett's evidence-based police work. Castle is the father of Alexis Castle and the son of Martha Rodgers, both of whom live with him.

Egyptian activists to commemorate Khaled Saeed's death
Egyptian activists are planning to stage anti-torture protests next week in commemoration of Khaled Saeed, who was allegedly tortured to death by policemen last year.
Saeed's death helped spark the Egyptian revolution, which led to the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak on 11 February.
In a statement issued on Thursday, activists said they would protest on Monday, 6 June, the anniversary of Saeed's death, in front of Cairo and Alexandria police stations.
Activists said the protests would denounce police torture.
Saeed died after being beaten to death by police officers in Alexandria for allegedly posting videos on the internet accusing police officers of involvement in corruption and torture.
Although a year has passed, no convictions have been made in Saeed's death.

Contact Flores Financial to see how we can help with your accounting, payroll, or HR needs!
You've got to love our devoted bookkeeper. She simply will not allow our vendors to make errors in their favor. Linda and Sarina are top notch in HR. They win countless unemployment claims, stay on top of our employee files and write-ups, and keep our stores compliant. They offer sharp advice and are always there in a crisis situation. Lastly, Greg operates his business with the utmost integrity, vast experience, innovation, and dedication. It's these relationships that have given us a 9-year history with Flores Financial.
With so many aspects of operating a business, I can feel overwhelmed and unaware. Without the necessary knowledge of legal, financial, and organizational skills, those aspects become an immense challenge. I am thankful beyond words for the hard work and extensive customer service that the Flores Financial staff has extended to me over the years in regards to these challenging aspects of the business. Just a quick phone call away, I feel this weight off of my shoulders, which allows me to feel comfortable knowing how trustworthy the staff of Flores Financial Services truly are.
Flores Financial has always been my "go-to" company. Not only for me personally with my businesses but are always strongly recommended for all of my industry clients. The attention to detail and involvement with their clients' best interests from HR to payroll to accounts payable is unsurpassed.
Flores Financial has been with Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC since its inception through today (currently $750 million in annual sales) and with our predecessor companies for over a decade prior to that. Greg Flores and his staff are extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of our dynamic business from the usual bookkeeping and GAAP accounting issues to the myriad of governmental compliance issues to special audits and everything in between. The Flores team are the consummate professionals, always doing the never-ending special projects, which are basically the norm in the accounting and finance world today. This is why Flores Financial performs the outsourced accounting for some of the most successful and high-profile companies in Southern California. Most importantly, however, the folks at Flores Financial have a great attitude in a world that can often be dry and tedious. I would recommend Greg without one ounce of hesitation to anyone.
Flores Financial has been a fantastic company to work with. As a small, growing company, the experience and knowledge gained through Greg Flores and his team have been invaluable to our organization. We have handed all aspects of our bookkeeping, accounts payable, and human resources over to the very talented staff at Flores Financial and it has been one of the best decisions our company has made to date. They have allowed us to transition from three autonomous entities into a more efficient, systematic corporation with growth plans to double our size in the next two years. We consider Flores Financial to be one of our greatest assets.
We deal with very small margins and ever-rising costs. We need to look for every advantage to be successful. In four months of using Flores Insights powered by Plate IQ at four stores, we've seen 2-4% reduction in our food costs. The ability to have up to the minutes costing on any recipe is a game changer. We're able to adjust menu pricing or remove an expensive item in an instant.
Flores Financial has been great to work with! They're a great resource and always have our best interest in mind. They take some of the stress out of our job and allow us to focus on the bigger picture. We can't sing their praises enough!

2hD Architects of Nottingham, UK, have designed an inflatable pavilion for the Museum of Modern Art in Lille, France. The pavilion will house events celebrating the re-opening of the Museum, from 21st to 26th September 2010.
On reopening after more than 4 years of refurbishment and extension, the Museum wanted to hold its celebratory events in a striking alternative to the standard marquee. They called on the specialist knowledge of 2hD's French director, Thibaut Devulder, an expert in fabric and membrane architecture, and the design flair of fellow director Alina Hughes, to come up with the idea for the events pavilion.
Located in the sculpture park at the entrance to the Museum, the pavilion will be the focal point for a week-long programme of events, including the formal opening by French Culture and Communications Minister, Frédéric Mitterrand, on September 21st.
The inflatable structure and flexible design mean that the pavilion can be simply depressurised and stored after the celebrations, ready to house future events ranging from theatrical performances to video installations.
Designed to hold up to 350 people for events and performances, the pavilion is constructed of lightweight fabric by specialist manufacturer Inflate and was shipped to the Museum site in a single container.
When pressurised with electric fans the double skinned fabric deploys to form a rigid but organically-shaped enclosure, covering a space 40m (130 feet) long by 15m (50 feet) at its widest point.
Artist impression of the inflatable structure.
Images of the erected pavilion in use will be available at the same URL from 21st September, and further press release will be issued at that time.
2hD is a creative architectural design practice based in Nottingham, UK. It is a three-person practice: Alina Hughes, Tom Hughes and Thibaut Devulder, who make inventive and friendly architectural spaces that create a strong sense of place for their clients and their community.
Inflate offers a range of award winning, architecturally stimulating structures that have been specifically designed to suit the portable and temporary events market.
After more than four years of renovation and extension work, the Museum of Modern Art of Lille Métropole (Villeneuve d'Ascq) will be reopening to the public on 25 September 2010 under a new name: the LaM, Lille Métropole Musée d'art moderne, d'art contemporain et d'art brut (museum of modern, contemporary and outsider art).

There has been so much hype around Kisume since it opened. A modern Japanese restaurant is the brainchild of the team behind Chin Chin. We had heard amazing things about this place so came here one night, excited to try it out.
To start off with we ordered the Tuna Tataki with seared yellowfin tuna, wasabi tofu, chilli yuzu ponzu. The quality of this tuna was incredible, it melted in your mouth however I struggled to handle the wasabi tofu, it sure packed a punch.
Next we ordered their Salmon feature with assortment of salmon, salmon roe sushi and king salmon rolls. This was one of the best sushi boxes I have tried, every piece of salmon was fatty and perfect and the sushi rice was so fresh and soft.
Finally we ordered the Pork ribs with berkshire baby back ribs, and maple soy glaze and a side of white rice. The maple soy glaze was such a great sauce to go with the rice, it was sticky and sweet. The ribs itself were great too, tender and fell off the bone easily.
Overall, Kisume lived up my expectations. It is casual fine dining at its best, the food is not cheap but you do pay for quality. The restaurant has a lovely muted ambiance and I loved watching the chefs prepare the sushi.

My appreciation for beautiful hardwood flooring began as I watched my father install hardwood floors over 35 years ago. After graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology and spending ten years learning the art of customer service, managing labor, materials, and profitability, I decided to return to my love for working with my hands and transforming spaces with hardwood flooring. Today, I live with my two boys, Cullen and Dutch in Wake Forest, North Carolina. In my spare time I enjoy playing hockey, going to Atlantic Beach with my family, and surf fishing.

Where Pope Francis Has Failed: On Women's Equality
Nuns in St. Peter's Square

EL ESPECTADORSourcesSocietyThe Next PopeColombiaCountries
Juan Carlos Botero
BOGOTA — It is no easy task trying to talk about the errors of Pope Francis. The achievements of Argentina's Jorge Bergoglio, both in words and deeds, have been frankly quite startling.
Acts of humility by the Supreme Pontiff have had a tremendous public impact, like kneeling to wash and kiss the feet of prisoners, including a Muslim woman, or officially recognizing the Palestinian state. He has generously stretched his hands out to atheists and raised it unstintingly to excommunicate the Italian mafia.
Before ongoing, eternal doubts on homosexuality, instead of stating an opinion and calling it an "abomination" as the Bible does and as popes have done for centuries, he responded with a more inclusive and understanding attitude. "Who am I to judge?" he said.
He has contributed to the renewal of ties between the United States and Cuba, and denounced the economic model of capitalism that offers no compassion for the less fortunate. He eschews the pomp that power bestows and lives in modesty and simplicity, asking his colleagues to renounce the deceptive lure of luxury to devote themselves to the needy.
He has not hesitated to call the massacres of Armenians "genocide," nor to cleanse the Vatican"s finances, demanding transparency in its investments. Employees suspected of corruption have been dismissed, and secret accounts used for massive money laundering revealed.
Let it be said that the pope was expected to behave just like his predecessors. The fact that he has turned out to be an exception speaks well of him and badly of the Roman Curia, where it appears people with Francis' scrupulous honesty and humility are actually very few.
So what is Pope Francis"s mistake? Sadly, it's a big one, brought to light recently when he denounced the inequality of wages between men and women. What he said was right, of course: There is no justification for paying someone less than another person to do the same job merely because of gender. In the European Union, a woman earns 16% less than her male colleagues, and in the U.S., she earns 77 cents for every dollar paid to a man.
The pope called this inequality a scandal. But if he is right, his own comments are perhaps not so much an error as an act of incoherence, since he heads one of the world's most sexist institutions. There is no reason why women should not officiate mass as they do, perfectly well, in the Episcopal Church, or become priests, cardinals, bishops and even pope.
Female leadership, so necessary and fruitful in the worlds of finance, politics, sports and design, remains banned in an institution that declares itself the defender of Christian morality. This incoherence has proved costly to the Vatican, and it is time for this humane and revolutionary pope to apply his reformism to the matter of the place of women in the Church. Only good things would follow.
The oldest newspaper in Colombia, El Espectador was founded in 1887. The national daily newspaper has historically taken a firm stance against drug trafficking and in defense of freedom of the press. In 1986, the director of El Espectador was assassinated by gunmen hired by Pablo Escobar. The majority share-holder of the paper is Julio Mario Santo Domingo, a Colombian businessman named by Forbes magazine as one of the wealthiest men in the world in 2011.

Noon finally goes live in Saudi
After all the delays, Noon is finally live in Saudi. The most-anticipated ecommerce platform (if that makes any sense) of the region had launched in UAE earlier this year, in September.
The Saudi version seems to have products in all the categories as the UAE one including electronics, fashion, and beauty. However, when you look at the sub-categories of grocery, most of them are empty. Looks like they're working on it.
We skimmed through some of the products on the platform and most of them seem to have a two-day delivery time which, given the Saudi standard, is pretty decent. But it doesn't come close to what was promised, the four-hour delivery for some products, when Noon was announced last year.
The company had signed a partnership with eXtra, one of the largest electronics retailer in KSA earlier this month. It is worth mentioning that eXtra already has big online presence with most of their products available through their web and mobile apps. It will be interesting to see how the partnership works.
The news of Noon's Saudi launch comes a day after Souq announced the launch of its Amazon Global Store in UAE that lets users browse and buy more than one million Amazon products on Souq and order them by paying in Dirhams.
Looks like the ecommerce space is finally heating up, which is a good thing for consumers in the region.

Over 500,000 Krathongs collected from canals in Bangkok, 340,000 less than prior year
Tuesday, 12 November 2019, 22:11
BANGKOK (NNT) -This year's Loy Krathong Festival was celebrated widely last night, followed this morning by the collection of Krathongs floated on waterways everywhere. In Bangkok, City Hall staff had by 6 a.m. today counted and sorted some 500,000 Krathongs, mostly made from organic materials
Staff members of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration quickly collected Krathongs in the Chao Phraya River, city canals, and some 30 parks opened for the general public to float their Krathongs last night. The collection and sorting of these Krathong was completed by 6 a.m. today.
A total of 502,024 Krathongs were collected this year, most of which at 483,264 or 96.3 percent were made from organic materials, while only 18,760 Krathongs were made from styrofoam, just 3.7 percent, of all that were collected. Lat Krabang is the district with the biggest quantity of Krathongs collected, amounting to 33,353 Krathongs, while Pom Prap Sattru Phai district is the district with the least Krathongs collected this year, at only at 214.
The number of Krathongs collected this year is 339,303 fewer than last year, which saw the collection of 841,327 Krathongs. The Krathongs collected were sorted at the collection point, after which Krathongs made from organic materials will be made into garden fertilizers at a garbage facility in Nong Khaem, while styrofoam Krathongs and those made from non-biodegradable materials will be destroyed as landfill.
Staff members at Bueng Si Than Lake in Khon Kaen University, said today that 99 percent of Krathongs floated there were made from organic materials including bread. It is expected these Krathongs will weigh 6 tons in total. Khon Kaen University has prepared disposal stations, where these Krathongs will be degraded into fertilizers, which can then be used by the university in the future.

FBI will probe whether Dallas police data loss was intentional while city seeks outside review
Dallas Police Chief Eddie García met with the FBI earlier this week to ask for help in determining whether criminal intent was behind the massive police evidence loss by a former employee.

By Kevin Krause
3:46 PM on Sep 10, 2021 CDT
UPDATED AT 6 p.m. with additional details and comments from the former U.S. attorney in Dallas.
The Dallas FBI will help police determine whether a former city employee intentionally lost electronic evidence and other files while the city looks for a law firm to conduct an outside forensic audit of the data debacle, officials said on Friday.
Albert Martinez, executive assistant police chief, told a new city committee looking into the matter that Chief Eddie García met on Tuesday with Matthew J. DeSarno, special agent in charge of the FBI's Dallas bureau.
"We needed outside expertise," Martinez said.
DeSarno agreed to help the police department's public integrity unit look into the circumstances of 22 terabytes of deleted data to determine whether a crime was committed, he said.
The police department initially looked into it but couldn't conclude whether the data deletion was intentional, Martinez said. But since then, the department has learned that the same information technology worker also reportedly lost data on two other occasions, he said.
That additional data loss is what prompted the police chief to reach out to the FBI, which has cybercrime expertise.
Separately, the city's newly formed Ad Hoc Committee on General Investigating and Ethics voted on Friday to direct the city attorney to reach out to local law firms about handling an outside audit of the incident.

City Attorney Chris Caso said he hopes to be able to provide the committee with a list of the top three firms in about 30 days. The committee would then recommend a law firm to the City Council for approval.
Council member Cara Mendelsohn said she hopes to have the recommendation for an outside firm on the Oct. 27 City Council agenda for a vote.
The chosen law firm would hire a computer forensic company to help determine what happened and how to prevent future data losses.
The city's information technology department plans to conclude its own internal review of the incident by Sept. 30, said Chief Information Officer Bill Zielinski. That report is also expected to detail how much of the lost data has been recovered, he said.
The City of Dallas discovered more police evidence is missing. Here's what we know
By Everton Bailey Jr., Krista M. Torralva and Kelli Smith
The IT employee, who was fired in late August, has declined to comment to The Dallas Morning News.
During an audit of the city's records, officials said they discovered a total data loss of about 22.5TB, which is the equivalent of about 7,500 hours of HD video; about 6 million photos; or 150 million pages of Microsoft Word documents.
The first batch of missing data involved cases from one to three years ago, Martinez has said. The time frame for the latest missing evidence is still uncertain, he said.
Regarding the first batch of missing data, the former employee was supposed to move 35TB of archived police files from online storage to a physical city drive starting March 31, city officials have said.
It was supposed to take around five days to move the information. But the employee "failed to follow established procedure" and wound up deleting 22TB from the city's network drive. The city said it recovered all but 7.5TB.
It is unclear how many cases are involved, but Martinez has said that family violence and child abuse cases are among them. He also said that the department is confident it has backups of the files. The city also said it's possible the internal audit will uncover more missing evidence.
García has said it's "more likely than not" that violent crimes against people aren't among the cases affected by the deleted evidence.
Family violence, child abuse cases among files of deleted Dallas police evidence, DPD says
Erin Nealy Cox, the former U.S. attorney in Dallas, spoke to the council after being invited to provide her insight. Nealy Cox, who has a background in cybercrime, resigned as the city's top federal prosecutor in January after serving in that role since 2017. She said she joined the local law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, as a partner about two weeks ago.
The scope of the city's outside inquiry, she said, should be narrowly defined given that parallel investigations are studying different elements of the problem, such as possible criminal involvement. Whichever law firm is selected would interview witnesses, review documents, examine the cloud archive and servers that were involved, she said, among other forensic techniques.
Nealy Cox also said the FBI will likely perform an initial inquiry, or assessment. And if it finds evidence pointing to a crime, the FBI would coordinate with the U.S. attorney's office on a full-scale criminal investigation, she said.
Brad Lollar, an assistant public defender, told the committee on Friday that he is handling 11 capital murder cases from the Dallas Police Department, in addition to two other murder cases.
Four of those are set for trial before the end of the year, he said.
"I cannot tell them right now whether we have all the evidence."

WatchGuard Predicts Five Information Security Trends You Should NOT Worry About in 2015 – and Five You Should
— From passwords and the Internet of Everything to nation-state cyber warfare and jumping mobile malware, WatchGuard helps you gain some security perspective for 2015
SEATTLE, Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in multi-function firewalls, today revealed its annual security predictions for 2015. Along with its latest predictions, which examine the likelihood of common network security prophecies next year, the company's security research team also included five security trends NOT worth worrying about in 2015.

"As security professionals we spend a lot of our time looking for trouble and expecting the worse. And in 2014, there were lots of vulnerabilities and threats to be found such as Heartbleed, Regin and Operation Cleaver," explained Corey Nachreiner, WatchGuard's director of security strategy and research. "With so much noise in the market, we wanted to help security professionals focus in on what matters the most – and what doesn't. Hence, five predictions you need to prepare for in 2015, and five you don't."
Top Five Things NOT to Worry About:
The Internet of Everything Will NOT Bring a Rise of Machines: Embedded computing devices (IoT or IoE) are everywhere and have security flaws. However, today's cyber criminals typically don't just hack for the heck of it. They need motive. There's not much value to having control of your watch or TV at this point, so we won't see hackers targeting them directly. For now.
Cloud Adoption Will NOT Continue its Stratospheric Climb in 2015: Between the "Snowden effect" and a number of cloud services leaking data, organizations will be more concerned with where they put sensitive information. This doesn't mean businesses will stop using the cloud where it makes sense. It just proves that we can't put everything in the cloud.
Passwords Will NOT Die in 2015, or 2016, or 2017…: When bulk password thefts happen, the passwords are not at fault; rather the fault lies with that lack of security from the organization maintaining them. A better prediction for next year is that two factor authentication will become ubiquitous online and passwords will remain as one of those two factors.
Secure Design Will NOT Win Over Innovation: Humanity is known for diving into innovative technology without considering the consequences. In order to invent, and push boundaries, we must take risks. That means security will continue to take a back seat to innovation, and that security professionals will have the tough job of weighing the operational benefits of new technologies against their potential security risks.
SDN Will Have Security Implications, But NOT For Years: You won't have to worry about Software Defined Network (SDN) security next year, or anytime soon! Despite all the hyperbole, SDN is quite a ways from primetime adoption.
Top Five Things To Worry About:
Nation States Lock 'n Load for Cyber Cold War: Global nations are ratcheting up cyber defense and attack capabilities, quietly launching espionage campaigns against one another, and even stealing industrial intellectual property. Expect to see more cyber espionage incidents next year and hear public perception swaying toward an already-occurring cyber cold war where nation states quietly "demonstrate" cyber capabilities.
Malware Jumps Platforms from Desktop to Mobile Devices — And Bites Hard: Malware that jumps from traditional operating systems to mobile platforms, or vice versa is a killer hacking combination, but until now, has not been particularly damaging. In 2015, attackers will find new ways to monetize mobile infections. Expect mobile malware to have more teeth, for example with customized ransomware designed to make your mobile unusable until you pay up.
Encryption Skyrockets — As Do Government Attempts to Break It: Encryption adoption is increasing as fast as governments are petitioning for ways to break encryption for "law enforcement use." Security pros must continue to leverage encryption whenever possible; fight for the right to retain private, unbreakable encryption; and build networks that support heavy use of encryption without slowing bandwidth and adversely affecting business.
Business Verticals Become New Battleground for Targeted Attacks: How does a cyber-criminal retain the benefits of a targeted attack while still pursuing big victim pools to make lots of money? By targeting business verticals rather than individual organizations. Modern cyber criminals will target businesses of every size as long as they are part of an interesting, profitable business vertical.
Understanding Hacker Motives Key to Defending: Hackers have gone from mischievous kids exploring, to cyber activists pushing a message, to organized criminals stealing billions in digital assets, to nation states launching long-term espionage campaigns. Knowing the motives and tactics of various actors helps us understand which ones threaten our organization the most, and how they prefer to attack.

Day 149. 216 days and $213 left togo.
After snipping out the pads, I had to tackle the belt loops next.
There were two rather large ones solely in the front of the dress, so I cut them both out. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of belt originally went through those. It was the 80s, so perhaps the previous owner used an actual python to cinch up her frame. I'm sure she was wearing snake skin somewhere on her - if not the belt - that's for sure!
I wasn't pleased with the neckline and with the shoulder pads now out, there was a little more space happening up there.
I ended up cutting a straight line from the top of the dress down a couple of inches, pulled back the edges, and created a newer, roundish, V-ish neck.
Ooh, and of course, the shortening of the length was the last change. Brought it up above my knees and now we're talking. New neck, padless shoulders, belt loops gone and tiny navy sash added for flair - hello Monday ensemble. Lovely to see you!
Ooh, and you probably couldn't tell, but take a look at these puppies!!
I mean, seriously. Those pockets...sigh.
