Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez sets priorities in his 2014 State of the County Address
(MIAMI, February 26, 2014) – More than 500 community leaders and members of the public attended Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez's 2014 State of the County Address. Mayor Gimenez spoke about transforming the way the County serves the public, enhancing its position as a global community and cultural crossroads, and positioning Miami-Dade County to be competitive in the new economy. The event took place at the Milander Center for Arts and Entertainment in Hialeah. Julia Dale, the 12-year-old singing sensation who has performed at numerous sporting events and Miami Heat games, captivated the audience when she sang the National Anthem.
Excerpts from Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez's Speech
My administration began at a historic moment, when voters in Miami-Dade County decided we needed reform. We responded by restoring honesty, transparency, and accountability to government. We cut bureaucracy, saved taxpayers over $400 million, and delivered the largest tax cut in county history.
This may be good enough for some, but we still have a long way to go. And while last year was difficult, and I have the battle scars to prove it, I will never stop fighting for the citizens of Miami-Dade County and for I believe is right. Today, the state of our County is strong because we are embracing the opportunities in our challenges, and we choose to move forward, together.
Miami-Dade is now among the top ten most populous counties in the nation, but this growth is placing a burden on our infrastructure. Our challenge is how to balance this growth while ensuring that residents continue to receive the services they deserve. And, we must remain proper stewards of the people's hard earned money. This is why we will present a balanced budget that reflects this stewardship, and holds the line on taxes.
We are taking the opportunity to reform the way we serve people, becoming fiscally sound, and to setting us on a course toward sustainability. This means that we are stretching every public dollar and pursuing opportunities to seek greater efficiencies, including partnering with the private sector. Today, we are more streamlined, and focused on our core missions of maintaining public safety and delivering direct services to our residents.
We must also continue to enhance our status as a global commercial and cultural crossroads. This provides us with the opportunity to make investments in the things that add value to our sense of place and community. We have increased our investments in our top two economic engines, our air and seaport, which are breaking records in terms of visitors and activity. We are also seeking innovative ways to connect libraries, parks, and arts and culture into neighborhood centers for our children to learn.
As the world's economy continues to evolve, our challenge becomes making sure we can compete in this New Economy. To successfully support the businesses of the future, we need to have the workers to fill these jobs. We are linking business and government with education, creating a continuum that aligns with target industries, making sure that young people can get an early start on obtaining the knowledge to become part of tomorrow's workforce. This also allows us to foster the growth of our creative class and the Miami urban area is now viewed internationally as the emerging location for "start-up" companies.
Finally, we need to understand that our economies are all connected. The world sees us as ONE Miami, and it's time we see ourselves the same way. This is why we are finding new ways for cities and counties complement one another in areas like transit, the environment, and commerce. Connectivity serves to expand economic opportunity for all our residents. No matter your social or economic status, no matter what neighborhood you live in, we are all connected, and we all have a shared responsibility to ensure that our children and grandchildren have the opportunity to prosper.

Peoplesay that, yes. I say that is false. Mwave.com will sell you several1GB SD card flash at <$40 while 1GB of DDR2 will cost >$100. That'sactually a strawman argument, just to demonstrate what is possible ;) The economics are different at the embedded side, the RAM isn't thesame as what is used in PCs and neither is the Flash. Also the pricesare mostly laid out in contracts between large companies and are notpublic. I don't really want to get into a discussion of Flash pricingand economics, I don't think it appropriate for this forum. Pleaselets leave it at some people have done this, are doing it, and want todo it in the future (see Mark Lords comment earlier). It getscomplicated. Some systems it makes sense for, some it doesn't.We took Familiar Linux 0.8.3 Opie verision and built two versions, onethat used jffs2 on NAND and another that used XIP cramfs on NOR. Weoptimized the XIP cramfs to only uncompress commonly used librariesand binaries. The XIP build used 8MiB more flash. It saved about20MiB of RAM and was 3X faster at bootup. (Summary support on jffs2closed the gap to 2X boot up but made the jffs2 use _more_ flash thanthe XIP). The jffs2 version volume wouldn't run the PIM apps and thebrowser and Quake at the same time with only 32MiB of RAM. The XIPversion would. The jffs2 version used 42MiB and the XIP 50MiB. Rounding to rational chip sizes that's 32MiB RAM/64MiB Flash versus64MiB RAM/64MiB Flash.The point of axfs is to reduce that 8MiB to the absolute minimum. Ingeneral application XIP give the system designer the to flexible tradeFlash for RAM and RAM for Flash to squeeze the system into the optimalcheapest it can be. AXFS will give more flexiblity with a mainstreamsolution.-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

The recall election to determine who represents Wisconsin's 10th Senate District is less than a week away.
State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, has been elected to the seat three times – the first time in 2000. She faces Shelly Moore, a teacher from River Falls and one of the Democrats challenging six Republican state senators in recall elections across Wisconsin on Tuesday.
The 10th District covers St. Croix County and parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce and Polk counties.
With Republicans holding a 19-14 majority in the Senate, the recall races could potentially shift the balance of power. Two Senate Democrats face recall elections Aug. 16, and a third has already kept his seat.
The recall efforts, unprecedented in Wisconsin's history, followed uproar over a Gov. Scott Walker-led initiative to end most collective bargaining rights for public employees.
Age: 55
Occupation: State senator, former dairy farmer
Is limiting public employees' bargaining power good for Wisconsin? In order to reduce spending, balance our budget and protect taxpayers, we needed to reform how government operates and give local governments flexibility to manage their budgets. For example, schools can now competitively shop for health insurance, instead of being forced to use the expensive, union-owned WEA plan. Government should work for taxpayers, not the other way around. Without these reforms, we would have had mass layoffs as seen in other states. Early reports are the reforms are working.
What is your stance on the St. Croix River Crossing Project? I strongly support a new St. Croix River crossing and have been working with local, state and federal elected officials from both sides of the river to make a new bridge a reality. Lawsuits filed by the Sierra Club, who recently endorsed my opponent, have not only delayed the building of this critical regional transportation project but have cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars due to the delays.
What issues are 10th District voters concerned about? Jobs, taxes and our state's budget. That is why this recall campaign, being driven by well-funded, out-of-state special interests, is so disappointing. These … special interests don't care about Wisconsin jobs, taxes or balancing our state budget. We stood up to their protests and intimidation. Now for the first time in more than a decade we passed a state budget with no structural deficit, froze property taxes for homeowners and seniors, and Wisconsin is leading the way on job growth as seen in last month's job numbers.
What are your thoughts on the TV ads funded by outside groups that attack you or your opponent? I am not getting recalled because I did something wrong. I am being recalled because I stood up to the special interests and did what voters elected me to do. Now they are spending millions against me, and it is overwhelmingly funded by national unions. As a state senator, my job is to lead, and part of leading means not caving in to the attacks of those who want to keep the failed status quo.
Is this recall race good for the 10th District? We just had an election in November. Major newspaper editorials agree that these recall elections are not good for the process and are costly to taxpayers. We need less campaigning and more leadership. Throughout this process, even as protesters shouted at me, picketed at my home and tried to intimidate and threaten me, I knew Wisconsin needed to change direction. It strengthened my resolve to put taxpayers and working families first.
Age: 37
Occupation: Teacher
Is limiting public employees' bargaining power good for Wisconsin? Collective bargaining rights go beyond wages, pensions and benefits – they also protect against problems like unfair treatment and unsafe working conditions. Those are important protections. In tough times everyone must do their part – from public employees to big corporations – and shared sacrifice is required to get Wisconsin's fiscal house in order. We can achieve shared sacrifice without taking away rights.
What is your stance on the St. Croix River Crossing Project? We need to invest in our infrastructure assets, like the St Croix River crossing, because they are essential to job growth and quality of life. We can strike a balance that invests in this project and protects natural resources, and I will work with stakeholders on all sides to do just that.
What issues are 10th District voters concerned about? The most important issues are creating jobs, growing the economy, balancing the budget fairly and responsibly, keeping taxes low and investing in key priorities like education and health care.
What are your thoughts on the TV ads funded by outside groups that attack you or your opponent? We need honesty, accountability and transparency in our elections. And we should not have to tolerate false or distasteful ads. Most recently, Americans for Prosperity…sent out a flier in our district telling everyone to return their absentee ballots before Aug. 11. The election is Aug. 9. Misleading people and using smear tactics is wrong, and it's not the Wisconsin way. We need to return to open, honest, fair elections.
Is this recall race good for the 10th District? Twenty-five thousand people signed petitions to trigger this recall because they felt their representatives were turning their back on Wisconsin values and not listening to them. They signed because they want to hold elected officials accountable. The recall election embodies the democratic spirit we know is so important in western Wisconsin and gives a voice to those who feel forgotten and ignored.
Polls in the recall election will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. For information on where to vote, go to vpa.wi.gov or call 1-866-VOTE-WIS.

Vauxals History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon heritage. The name comes from when a family lived in the parish of Foxhale in the county of Suffolk just miles from Ipswich.
Early Origins of the Vauxals family
Suffolk at Foxhall, (Foxhale) which dates back to at least the Domesday Book where it was listed as Foxehola and was about 15 acres in size located in the Hundred of Carlford. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) By the late 1800s, the population had increased to about 200 inhabitants and was about 2,000 acres in size. Foxholes, a parish located in the East Riding of Yorkshire was listed as Foxele, Foxhole and Foxohole in the Domesday Book having derived from the Old English term "fox-hol" and literally meant "the fox holes, the fox's earth" [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) This parish is quite a bit bigger at about 4,210 acres in size.

Another 187 words (13 lines of text) covering the years 138 and 1385 are included under the topic Early Vauxals History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Vauxals Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Vauxals have been found, including Foxall, Foxhall, Foxall, Faxhall, Foxell and others.

Migration of the Vauxals family to Ireland
Some of the Vauxals family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 39 words (3 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Vauxals family to the New World and Oceana
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Vauxals, or a variant listed above: John Faxel settled in Texas in 1846; Ann and William Foxall settled in New York in 1842; Thomas Foxhale settled in Pennsylvania in 1813.

"Hidden under the sands is the ancient city of Thabes, as well as many buried treasures. The legends of this illusory city lured many men to the desert. However, no ome was ever able to make it back. A Sage once said: Don't go near the death desert of Mamorthod, because there lies a city cursed by darkness."
—Mystery of the Emblem
Mamorthod (マーモトード, Māmotōdo) is a vast desert found towards the north west of Archanea, just north of Khadein. It is known by many as the Desert of Death (死の砂漠, Shi no Sabaku) and it was where Anri first visited on his legendary saga to obtain the Falchion. The desert itself is inhabited by vicious Barbarians and Wyverns. According to rumours, an ancient, yet advanced, civilization known as Thabes lays buried under the desert sands. The treasures of those people remain buried in the sand to this day. To the far north of Mamorthod is the Tower of Thabes. It is said that Naga's final resting place was at Thabes.
In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, a dungeon called Thabes Labyrinth is there, and is clearly the aforementioned civilization.
Mamorthod would eventually become part of Regna Ferox.
Thabes is an edit of Thebes, which was a capital city in ancient Egypt and could be attributed to Thabes being in a desert.

Actor Galaxy
The Actor Galaxy designed by SPEECH Architectural Office gives the impression of a huge white wave that was frozen just after crashing the sea shore!
The project site is situated on the territory of the Actor health resort which was famous in Soviet times. It is twenty six stories tall, standing on the upper terrace of the plot.
It is the form which lends this building its iconicity, by distinguishing it from its surrounding. Its architectural composition is enhanced by the elongated drop that gradually flows down towards the sea. This results in the addition of a spectacular arc in the city's skyline.
Furthermore, the terrace balconies' undulating form is inspired from the 'ripples' that are created at the sea surface, due to gentle breeze. Instead of repeating the same undulating pattern on every floor, these wavy terraces are shifted from floor to floor hence making the façade appear 'active' as well as close to nature.
The layout has been planned considering two atriums as its emphasis. They are situated at different levels. The larger one is located just beside the drop and is angular in shape. It's covered by ETFE, a translucent ultra-durable material. This material has been used for the first time for residential purposes in Russia. This space will facilitate public gatherings and activities which may be supported by addition of cafes, shops and art pieces. Its "younger brother" has a triangular configuration and is placed at the bow's position as if the building was actually a ship! It functions as a small and separate entry hall for the people occupying larger apartments.
According to the architects, "the resort theme is reinforced by the white color of the complex – by virtue of the dynamic form and the pointed "nose," the snow-white volume distinctly stands out in the panorama of Sochi, resembling a cruise ship which is about to go out into the open sea." The interior spaces too are dominated by white, be it the walls, the gallery barriers or the thin metal trusses that support the translucent ETFE roof. This white configuration acts as a blank canvas for light and shadow to perform their play during the day as well as at night.

You could call them state variables I guess. I changed the sentence that described the "insertion mode" as being a "flag" and changed it to "state variable". This leaves only (I think) the "content model flag". Not sure what to rename that one to.

Quilting Legend Will Visit Lawrenceburg In September
Press release from City of Lawrenceburg
(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – The quilting industry has been revolutionized! Love and passion for the look and feel of a quilt no longer requires years of dedication to create. Thanks to quilting extraordinaire, Jenny Doan, it is now possible to create a beautiful quilt in a week or even in a day (one that may look complicated when in actuality it was as simple as sewing a straight line)!
Jenny Doan a Hamilton, Missouri native has published 2 magazines; Fons and Porter and her most recently released her very own magazine; The Block. Her magazines are full of great ideas and are always a sellout. Over the past few years, Jenny has become a veritable superstar of the craft through her development of ways to make beautiful quilts efficiently using pre-cut fabrics. Her quilts styles range from traditional to contemporary and she is a hit with quilters all over the world! Her online tutorials have drawn as many as a million viewers; some from as far away as South Africa. She has changed the quilting industry forever by embracing social media and by streamlining the art of quilting while retaining the beauty of the craft. Her methods have drawn younger quilters, thus further growing the industry in a time where other industries are struggling. She has been featured on the NBC nightly news, and the Wall Street Journal.
Jenny has taught thousands to quilt simply by watching her videos. Her fans find her style less intimidating than that of other quilting tutors. "She makes you feel as if it is not only possible, but easy. The greatest thing about Jenny is that she has not changed even though she is the hottest thing in quilting, she still laughs when people ask for her autograph in Walmart."
Jenny will be coming to Southeastern Indiana's One Stop Shop Hop on September 19 and 20, 2014 at the Lawrenceburg Event Center in historic Lawrenceburg Indiana. The shop hop will feature vendors from all over the country, Jenny will be hosting 2 trunk shows each day on Friday, September 19 and Saturday, the 20th.
If you would like to meet Jenny or receive more information about this event please email: email@example.com or visit the facebook page: www.facebook.com/SoutheastIndianaShopHop.

Ibogaine, the fountain of youth
December 30 2002 at 9:43 AM
Brett Calabrese
Ibogaine comes from the African shrub Tabernathe Iboga and is used for the treatment of addiction (experimental) as it will eliminate withdrawal from any known addictive drug (eg opiates, speed, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine... - to varying degrees, milage varies).
In the process it makes those stone cold, dirty/sick junkies healthy, fit and clean - this is NOT A JOKE or some BA. Take ibogaine and you look like you have been to Club Med for a couple weeks, not shooting drugs. It gives a GLOW - I call the ibo-glow, like a flush to the skin that makes it warm and soft. It is an amazing aphrodesiac, not like you were 22, BETTER, more stamina, more sensuality, more endurance, more passion.
It increases strength, sharpness of the eye (LITERALLY, often you can see without glasses), smells, colors are brighter, you feel young again - only better. YOU know when you see 3 year olds playing with huge amounts of energy and say "oh, if you can only bottle it"? Well, this is the stuff.
Try 100mg to start - taking large amounts for a full blown "trip" is unpleasent and VERY LONG (like days to come down fully). DO NOT take ibogaine if you have a heart condition of any kind and do not mix with medication. Take on a very empty stomach (4 hours+ after a light meal) and be still, don't move around for a couple hours, it will likely get you sick if you do. Later, have great sex with a partner, as good as any with XTC - but very different. The next several days you will be happier, have more energy, have the sparkle of a 16 year old. On a high dose you can kiss any drug habit good-buy, with a little work (very little). I have quit smoking, alcohol and drugs with ibogaine, it literally saved my life but no-one cares much about anti-addictive, the fountain of youth is another story - which is exactly what ibogaine is, like the tree of life, drinking from the golden chalis or something like that. A full blown dose (eg 20mg/kg) will put someone on cloud 9 from deep in addiction (milage varies...), to the extent the ibo-glow lasts for literally for MONTHS (for me it is about 6 months from a high dose - a high dose is not a hit of acid, you are not in Kansas any more so be warned to speak to someone who understands this stuff before attempting a high dose). There is a long acting metabolite called nor-ibogaine that sits in the body for months and has a similar ibogaine effect on mood and health.
Read this;
See ibogaine.org, ibogaine.co.uk
email@example.com - indra.dk has a 5X Tabernathe Iboga extract
Enthnogarden.com sells a 16X T. Iboga extract, ibogaine HCL as well as root
Marko firstname.lastname@example.com sells ibogaine HCL.
Note that a full dose will set you back over $100 (eg a gm) but is well worth it, anyway you will only need a few mg's and not a gram to start - even 25mg will be noticed.
Dosages for each type of ibogaine/extract are DIFFERENT - eg 100mg of HCL is a nice test dose, so is 200mg of Ethnogarden extract or 1/2 gram of Indra extract - The basic (rough) ratio is 5 grams of Indra to 1 gram of HCL or 2 grams of Ethnogarden extract to 1 gram of HCL - 2mg/kg is a good starting (TEST) dose for HCL - which would be twice that for Ethnogardens or 5 times that for Indra. The extracts are whole plant, meaning they are somewhat different than ibogaine HCL (more "spiritual and softer, ibogaine HCL comes on very strong).
They are all reliable sources for ibogaine, I am not in the selling ibogaine business but if you want me to take your money I would be more than happy to take it (at a nice mark-up), call them and have them ship you ibogaine - or you can do it yourself at no mark-up... Again, they will not ship to the USA, so don't ask.
Here are some sources.

Rupert Christiansen wrote in the Daily Telegraph on 12th December 2011[1];
"..Derby, perhaps the only city in the country still lacking a decent sized theatre with a stage, fly-tower and orchestra pit capable of accommodating the bigger touring shows and musicals". How does this relate to the ambition for Derby to be a City of Culture[2]? How does it relate to the creation of a City capable of attracting high level business and industry?
Derby has a range of facilities for drama, music and dance starting with the village halls and churches to the Guildhall and Darwin Suite (200 seats), Deda for dance, Derby Theatre (550 seats) and the Large Hall of the Assembly Rooms (2,000 seats). In the near future the proposed Velodrome could provide a venue for 4,000 for the very large pop concerts[3]. But missing is the larger sized, fully equipped theatre. Analysis of size (seating capacity) over a wide range of theatres in private and public ownership shows that theatres of 1000+ seats can exist without subsidy (although subsidy does help!). The question is whether Derby would be capable of supporting such a theatre.
It must be borne in mind that the Assembly Rooms is in urgent need of renovation within the next five years and that any major reconstruction work could force extended closure and loss of clientele. Also that Derby Theatre is entering a new phase of operation independent of Derby Live and major Arts Council funding so its performance in the long term is not certain[4]. The development of a large theatre would require support by the City Council in all regards on the grounds that it is a necessary part of the continuing development of the City. It would require a positive decision from the community free from entrenched and personal views.
On the basis of recent developments the cost of a new theatre would lie between £50 and £75million. The redevelopment of the Hippodrome site on the other hand would cost half that of the new build and if the adjoining car park was included in the site then the range of development options increases. By March 2012 the Options Appraisal on the possible uses for the Hippodrome commissioned by the Derby Hippodrome Restoration Trust should go a long way to answering some of these questions.

Much of the talk on Tuesday was about the possibility of Washington making the NCAA tournament. The Huskies have three weeks and five games to go before having a more clear handle on their postseason fate. If they win out, they'll have 22 wins and be winners of 10 of 11 to close the regular season.
At the same time, a single stumble could prove fatal. Of the remaining opponents, none would be close to the NCAA tournament if the season ended now. All are unlikely to make the tournament outside of winning the automatic bid that comes with the conference tournament title (Which, of course, USC can not). Regardless, Quincy Pondexter remains optimistic about his club's chances.
"I think we have a great shot," Pondexter said. "I have a lot of faith and belief in this team in getting to the big dance. At the end of the season we could have a good amount of wins and a decent resume even though people really don't respect us like they do the other teams that are in similar situations like us … like Louisville or UConn.
"I think that we're going to have a chance to be OK. With our schedule remaining and what we can do in the Pac-10 tournament, I feel like we have a great chance of making it."
Pondexter also doesn't think Washington has to win out to make the tournament.
"Not necessarily," Pondexter said. "It's always great to win those last five regular season games and I think we're capable of doing it. We've been playing pretty good basketball of late."
Understanding there is a lot of shifting to come with the tournament selections, and that it will be moot for Washington if it does not take care of its own business, here's a look at the last four teams into the tournament according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi and how they stack up against Washington.
17-8, 7-6
Vs. RPI top 50: 2-3
The good: Washington has won five of six. Being hot at the end of the season always makes a better case to the selection committee. Winning out would put Washington at 22-8 and 12-6 in the conference. Two more Pac-10 tournament wins and Washington should be in.
The bad: The road record and a 2-3 record versus RPI top 50 teams. The Texas Tech and UCLA losses may doom Washington. Had it won in Lubbock, which it was an Elston Turner free throw away from doing, Washington never would have had the 0-for-the-road storyline trailing it. That would have also provided Washington a road win against an RPI top 50 team. The UCLA loss will go down as a bad one in the eyes of the committee. Throw out the name and that is a loss to an 11-13 team with an RPI of 134 that is 6-6 in one of the poorer conferences in the country. How much different would things look if Washington was 19-6 and 8-5?
16-8, 7-5
Vs. RPI top 50: 2-6
Projected: 12 seed, status unchanged from last week
The good: The Golden Eagles get the benefit of the doubt for playing in the menacing Big East conference. A tight win at home over Georgetown and a neutral site win over Xavier are Marquette's signature wins. Marquette has also won five consecutive games and has a big one when it hosts No. 19 Pittsburgh on Thursday night.
The bad: The record against the RPI top 50 is meek. It also lost to North Carolina State which is 14-12 overall and 2-9 while hanging out in the cellar of the ACC. Marquette plays three of its last five on the road. After Pitt, none of the remaining games are against ranked opponents.
18-6, 8-2
Vs. RPI top 50: 3-3
Projected: 12 seed with downward momentum
The good: Winning at Louisville during non-conference play and taking seven of its last eight will help Charlotte's case. Projections that the Atlantic 10 will get six teams, despite being labeled a mid-major these days, will also help Charlotte. It has wins over currently ranked Temple and Richmond. A .500 road record and four of the remaining six bode well.
The bad: The 49ers were routed at Dayton last time out. Four of the remaining six are at home though three of those remaining games are against the steel of the A-10: Xavier, Rhode Island and Richmond.
Saint Mary's
21-5, 8-3
Vs. RPI top 50: 0-2
Projected: 12 seed with downward momentum.
The good: An 8-2 road record is impressive for anybody. Saint Mary's was hot recently, winning 11 of 12 with the lone loss versus Gonzaga, helping it climb the brackets.
The bad: Back-to-back losses leave the Gaels just a half game up on Portland for second place in the WCC. With three games remaining against atrocious competition, the Gaels' RPI will take a hit and their tournament chances could be crushed by any slip.
Oklahoma State
17-7, 5-5
Vs. RPI top 50: 3-4
Projected: 13 seed, unchanged from last week
The good: Winning at Kansas State is a marquee victory for the Cowboys. Of this group, definitely the biggest win among them.
The bad: The non-conference schedule is pathetic. The toughest opponent was Rhode Island. Next would be Tulsa. Other than that it's stalwarts like Prairie View A&M, North Texas and Arkansas Pine-Bluff. The Cowboys have six games remaining, four of which are against ranked teams (vs. No. 22 Baylor, at No. 15 Texas, at No. 24 Texas A&M and versus No. 1 Kansas). The dregs of the conference, Iowa State and Nebraska are the other opponents.
Will the Huskies have enough to get in?

Moving Out of the Family Home: What to Expect
Be prepared emotionally, for both you and your loved one
En español | Moving out of a home — regardless of where to — can be an incredibly emotional journey. This is especially true for those moving out of the family home after many years and in with their children, into a smaller place or to a care facility. Many see it as an end rather than a beginning and emotions can run high. What you, the caregiver, may not expect, though, is your own emotional reaction to the change — even though it's not you who is moving. Be prepared emotionally for what to expect, both from your loved one and yourself.
See also: Managing a Move.
Unanticipated Emotions
During the flurry of activity leading up to a move — finding a new residence, packing, and paring down —expect your loved one to experience emotional highs and lows. While they may show excitement as you tour potential new residences and shop for necessities for the new space, they will likely also have times of deep sadness while they recall the fond memories that fill their old residence.
Moving out of the family home is a big change on many levels. First, it's a huge disruption, for a time, to daily routines and a major transition into new surroundings. For an older adult, these disruptions and transitions take much longer to adapt to than for the younger set. Secondly, a move at this stage of life may trigger concerns about loss of independence and what lies ahead. Losing any kind of independence is hard for those of us who have lived an independent life. So, it's important to be sensitive to these moments with your loved one. Help them through the process simply by taking the time to listen and be empathetic.
Paring Down and Packing Up
During the downsizing process and subsequent packing phase of the move, memories will be triggered when old keepsakes and treasures are unearthed and heirlooms are passed on to family members. Activities like paging through a yearbook, reorganizing photos, sorting jewelry and finding old love letters can drum up old feelings and stories, which should not be rushed through. Allow plenty of time for packing so your loved one has ample opportunity to reminisce and pass on any family history to you.
Leaving the Family Home Behind
As the move nears, expect emotions to become heightened. With only days left in their home, your loved one may break down at the thought of leaving. While you will most likely be feeling the stress of all that needs to be taken care of, remember to comfort them. Check in with them often to see how they're doing. Talking may be hard for those families who don't communicate emotions with ease, but it's necessary. Simply asking, "How are you holding up?" can provide a world of comfort to a parent or loved one leaving the home they've known for some time. It will let them know you're in their corner and understand that this can't be an easy situation for them.
Trivializing your loved one's emotions is one of the worst things to do in this situation. With their entire world in upheaval, making them feel as though they're overreacting can upset them even more. While you may not know exactly what they're going through, try to put yourself in their shoes despite any chaos that may be going on around you.
On moving day it might be best to plan an outing for your loved one — lunch, a trip to the mall, a visit with friends — so they can avoid the trauma of seeing their possessions moved out of their beloved home. This will mean, of course, that managing the move is up to you and any help you can gather. It may be worth it if it means that your loved one will feel a sense of normalcy during such a tumultuous time.
Moving In
After all the boxes are unloaded and the furniture is in place, expect it to take a while before your loved one feels settled. Arranging their new space similarly to their former home will aid in the transition. A nice gesture to welcome them into their new space would be to stock their fridge with favorites or bring in their favorite takeout for dinner their first night there. Over time, they should ease back into their old routines and begin to see the advantages of their new home. Just be patient with them as they find their footing.
For the Caregiver
You might be surprised and taken aback by the emotions you experience when moving your parent or loved one out of the home — especially if you've shared that home with them in the past. Many caregivers get so caught up in what needs to be done for a move that they don't take into account the emotional implications the move will have on them. Expect to be bombarded by fond — or not so fond — memories that deserve attention. Watching your loved one go through their emotional process around the move may also affect you greatly. Indulge in these emotions rather than holding them in. They are important and need to be expressed — whether in privacy or with your loved ones — in order to be the strong support system your loved one will need throughout the move process.

Fast. Fierce. FUNominal.
Philly Roller Derby has created a Junior Roller Derby program in order to allow children, ages 6-18, the opportunity to learn the sport of roller derby. Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment for young athletes (ages 6-18), where they can come together and play this highly exciting sport of speed, strategy and teamwork. Junior Roller Derby helps empower our skaters by building self-confidence, teaching leadership skills and developing athletic abilities while improving overall fitness.
Our Juniors will be coached by current and retired members of Philly Roller Derby as well as members of Team USA. Our coaches have an incredible résumé of skating and coaching experience, both on and off the track. We believe that we have a tried-and-true method of training skaters, with little to no skating experience and have consistently ranked among the top leagues in the world.
Join PRDJ
Practices are held Sunday mornings from 9AM-12PM. Travel team practices are held Mondays 6PM-8PM.
PRD Warehouse
5378 Belfield Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19144
Interested skaters are welcome to come observe our practice to see if it is ideal for them. Please email email@example.com to let us know you are visiting.
Dues & Sessions
We are holding rolling admission. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
New skaters of all levels are accepted throughout the session.
Sibling Discount
We will be offering a sibling discount of $25 off each session. "Sibling" means related, not friends or cousins. The full price will apply to the first skater and the discount will apply to each additional sibling. The sibling discount is applied to the last installment of dues.
Skaters are required to provide proof of primary health insurance. Parents will also be responsible for maintaining their primary health insurance and informing the league of any changes. Scrimmage-ready skaters (that have been assessed at either Level 2 or Level 3) will be required to obtain supplemental insurance in addition to personal medical insurance.
The safety of our members is our #1 priority. Every coach, trainer and volunteer involved in the Philly Roller Derby Juniors program has undergone a thorough background check through Protect Youth Sports. Our safety staff has also been trained in CPR, First Aid and to recognize the signs and symptoms of concussions. Parents will be educated on the same.
Any skater, who in the opinion of a coach, athletic trainer, or physician exhibits any signs, symptoms, or behavior consistent with a concussion (such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, confusion, or balance problems) shall be immediately removed from play and practice until they are cleared to return to by a healthcare professional who is a board certified Primary Care Sports Medicine Physician. Such clearance must be in writing and signed by the physician.
Safety Gear & Equipment
Full protective gear is required during every practice. Skaters will not be permitted to skate during any practice without wearing full gear, that fits securely and is in good condition.
– Helmet (No bicycle helmets)
– Elbow Pads
– Knee Pads
– Wrist Guards
– Mouth guard
– Quad Roller Skates (Rentals available subject to availability)
Resources for required Gear & Equipment
Beginner helmet, pads and mouth guards can be purchased at local sporting goods stores, however you will likely find as your skater grows out of their gear and their skills improve, a higher quality, derby specific gear will be desired.
Quality, derby specific, speed skates are the most important piece of equipment your skater will desire. While any quad skates will make do for beginner skaters, non-derby skates will hinder your skaters progress. Ideally, skaters look for the ability to change wheels, toe stops, plates and trucks to better suit their skating style as well as the surface they are skating on.
Call or click on the following links for Derby specific gear and equipment.
Five Stride Skate Shop
Brooklyn, NY
(347) 529-6787
Apex Skate Shop
Hatfield, PA
(610) 308-8654
As The Bearing Turns

East Coast Derby Extravaganza
ECDX is probably the BEST place to buy all your gear. Philly Roller Derby hosts the annual East Coast Derby Extravaganza in June. This is a weekend long event of non-stop derby action on three rinks. All three rinks will be surrounded with Roller Derby specific vendors from around the country. This is a great place to try on gear, get fitted for skates, and even meet your derby idols.
There is a possibility, as with any sport, of your skater suffering an injury. If your child is hurt or injured during practice, our trained safety staff will assess your child and administer first aid as necessary.
Any skater, who exhibits any signs, symptoms, or behavior consistent with a concussion shall be immediately removed from play and practice until they are cleared to return by a healthcare professional. Such clearance must be in writing and signed by the physician. Parents are required to be educated on Concussions.
Online training can be found at the following links:
Heads Up – Free Concussion Clinic
CPR and First Aid certification
Concussion information from the CDC
Roller Derby requires a special set of skills unique to the sport. We encourage our new skaters to hit the rink as often as possible to gain confidence on skates. Many of the skills required in roller derby are learned entirely through repetition and tenacity. We will teach you all you need to know as long as you have the willingness to learn and work hard.
Beginning Skaters
Beginning skaters are learning to skate and practicing basic safety, skating, stopping, and falling. They do not play derby, but focus on learning basic skating skills and the very basics of derby.
Skill Level I
Level I skaters are becoming masters of their skates, learning basic game play and teamwork, and beginning to scrimmage and bout positionally. They are beginning to learn more advanced rules and strategies.
Skill Level II
Level II skaters are playing using pushing contact only in scrimmages and bouts. They are also learning advanced teamwork, rules and regulations, and strategic play; practices emphasize fluidity of motion and building skeletal muscular strength and endurance. Typically, skaters are age 9 or above when they are able to meet Level II requirements, but there is no set age requirement.
Skill Level III
Skaters are demonstrating adult-level competency on skates and with the rules. Level III skaters practice, scrimmage and bout using full-contact rules. In addition, Level III skaters are expected to help teach lower-level skaters and to be ambassadors for the league.
Scrimmages and bouting!
Full contact junior skaters will need to pass the JRDA level 2 assessment in order to be allowed to scrimmage. They will need to pass the WFTDA Minimum Skills requirements to participate in full contact bouts.
Age Requirements
Philly Roller Derby Juniors is open to all children, ages 6-18.
Skaters shall be 6 years of age on or before the first day of the session. Skaters continue to be eligible until age 17, or age 18 AND a high school student in the 12th grade or below during some part of the current academic year. High School Seniors who turn 18 during their senior year may continue skating with their current junior league until September 15th of the year in which they turn 18 and graduate high school.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Our editors spend some time roaming the web looking for stuff cattle people and others in agriculture might find useful or entertaining.
In response to USDA's action on Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) yesterday, our neighbors to the north are threatening retaliation. The American Meat Institute says it's impossible to comply — by today — as the rule states. Our grocery industry friends found it quite absurd. Reckon Vilsack will send people down the bunklines of feedyards asking cattle where their hometown is?
A roundup of the news on the subject:
•Cattle Network
•Food Safety News
•Journal of Commerce
•MSN even shared a balanced story on the subject
Yesterday we noted that many higher-end restaurants in Cleveland were offering local hero Charles Ramsey free burgers for life, but Micky D's had yet to chime in. Thursday, the chain stepped up and offered free food for a year. We'll be watching for the uptick in beef demand when Ramsey cashes in on these offers.
If Ramsey gets tired of beef, he can always try these chicken-free strips. Yum, yum. But if you're looking for a product that "looks, tastes and chews just like chicken," why not eat chicken?
In case you're bored with chocolate ice cream...Time magazine rounded up the 15 funkiest ice cream flavors. How 'bout a scoop of Bone Marrow with Smoked Cherries? Don't worry. The pork industry isn't left out. There's a ham and cheese variety, too.
And in the spirit of Memorial Day, the "Eat Like A Man" blog
offers these savory tips
to make the most of your red-white-&-blue BBQ.
The farm…yawn…bill is still being kicked around in the Senate Ag Committee. Big farmers might have to pay more premiums, amid news crop insurance was a corn lifeline for 2012. And how about the news that the renewable fuel folks are working to find more ways the crop can power cars? Yipee.
On a serious note, the Oklahoma tornado's toll on livestock — particularly horses — is devastating. Although few have reported cattle losses since the super storm took a more urban path, our equine friends weren't so lucky. Racing operations in Oklahoma and Texas, as well as cutting horse farms, were destroyed.
...for developing a less expensive DNA profile for cattle.

GM could be the new owner of Ally's international operations.
General Motors is said to be on the verge of securing a deal to buy Ally Financial's international operations for $4 billion. GM has been eying a stake in Ally's international businesses since May.
According to The Detroit News, GM is zeroing in on a deal to purchase Ally's finance operations in Europe and Latin America. Sources have indicated the deal could cost GM about $4 billion.
Ally, a former GM subsidy that was once known as GMAC, is looking to repay a $17.2 billion bailout loan through the sale of some of its assets. Ally, which is currently 74 percent owned by the United States government, has so far repaid about $5.9 billion of its debt.
Ally is remaining mum on the deal, but said: "We continue to be focused on maximizing shareholder value and finding the best solutions for the remaining international operations."
Although a stake in the European auto lending business might seem like an added risk for GM, it could actually help the Detroit-based automaker turnaround its European operations. RBC Capital explained in a briefing this week that "expanding its auto financing capabilities is a strategic positive for GM, particularly in Europe. In fact, expanding auto financing was listed as one of GM's key initiatives to improve its revenue in Europe on the way to break-even profitability by mid-decade. Captive finance companies not only allow automakers to finance customers to support sales, but also to increase brand loyalty."
An official announcement on the subject is expected in the coming weeks.

Lance Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France winner who admitted during a recent TV interview with Oprah Winfrey that he had taken performance-enhancing drugs and received blood transfusions, is the subject of Los Angeles street artist Plastic Jesus's latest work, a small stencil in the Melrose Avenue area that show the yellow jersey-wearing cyclist hooked up to an I.V.
Though Armstrong, a member of the Aspen Art Museum's board of directors and a collector of contemporary art, has been known to ride bicycles custom-designed by the likes of KAWS and Shepard Fairey, we suspect he won't be interested in adding Plastic Jesus's three-foot mural to his collection.

I have an canon power shot A85. The image taken by it is so blur. We thought it may be the display issue, however the old picture saved in the card are still sharp. The camera can still be used to take video, and the quality is good. Is this due to the setting, since kids have played it more than 6 months. Thank you.

All of a sudden every picture I take with the 55-200 zoom lens is blurry and slightly out of focus. Pictures with the 18-55 lens are still sharp. I have been using that 55-200 lens for years for sports shots, and have never had any problem. I get the same blurriness shooting in both the auto sports setting and in shutter priority. It is a brand new issue. Could it be the AF servos starting to go in the lens, or am I doing something stupid?
Simplest answer is that you may have accidentally flipped the focus switch (A/M) on the lens to M. This turns off autofocus for that lens (which you might need to do if autofocus just can't resolve the image). Try turning it back to A.Ano ... Nikon D40x Digital Camera

This guest post is by Chris The Traffic Blogger.
Ebooks have played a vital part in my business for all three of the years I have been operating. From free offers to successful products, these handy publications enabled me to earn quite a bit of money in three years, as well as grow an audience of over 11,700 members.
What I'd like to do for you today is go through a history of the ebooks I've written, and explain what I've learned along the way. My hope is that you will learn from my mistakes and failures as well as enjoy the experience of sharing in my story.
Ebook case study 1: $2030 in one day
My first ebook was written about World of Warcraft gold (the in-game currency for players) and how to make as much of it as possible, as quickly as possible. The ebook benefited from being sold to a highly receptive audience that I'd spent months building a relationship with.
Having only 500 subscribers made me nervous, but I went forward with writing the book and publishing it anyway. To my pleasant surprise, the ebook made over two thousand dollars in the first twenty four hours. I was absolutely ecstatic.
Why was it so successful? I didn't know it at the time, but I had done quite a lot of things right throughout the process of creating, selling, and advertising my new ebook.
I used media that was perfect for gamers within my product, namely diagrams, audio casts and videos. This ensured that readers would absolutely love the product once they purchased it. I always find it interesting how people assume ebooks have to be … well … books! The "ebook" wasn't just a .pdf file, it was actually a series of web pages that you needed to have paid for in order to visit. Being unconventional was one of the primary reasons for the success of the ebook.
The content itself was straightforward, easy to use and incredibly useful. I had worried that maybe I wasn't writing enough, but as the sales poured in I soon realized that this was exactly what gamers were looking for: easy strategies that anyone could follow and be successful with. That's what I was selling; solutions to their problems. Who wants a long-winded solution anyway?
To improve the number of successful sales, I used a huge number of websites, social media outlets, and forums to sell and/or advertise my ebook. I didn't simply write "buy this now to be successful!" Rather, I took the time to engage members of these sites in conversation about similar topics. Eventually, someone would ask for more information, or if I had a website. That's when I would promote my ebook, and it worked amazingly well. All those people who were reading the conversation but not contributing ended up buying the ebook, not just the few involved directly.
This is a life lesson for selling anything online: don't try to sell outright. Instead, focus on answering questions. If your ebook is the answer, then you can feel confident recommending it within the discussion!
Ebook case study 2: Freebies for subscribers
Getting more subscribers to my autoresponder email sequence was very important to me throughout the process of building up my business. To increase the influx of new subscribers, I created an incentive to sign up: a short ebook broken up into seven emails. Each of these seven emails contained a very specific piece of information, and discussed how this could help readers succeed. These were an incredibly big hit to the tune of +220% new signups per day; once again, I made use of an unconventional way to share an ebook.
Free ebooks are one of the simplest ways to test how good an ebook writer you are. Splitting up the ebook into a series of emails is also a great way to distribute it, especially if you aren't sure if your audience would want to download something from your site. This is particularly true if you are dealing with a group of users who are afraid to download anything online.
Ebook case study 3: A flop
Not all of my ebooks were amazing success stories. One in particular was my first book about making money online: The Why People Course. I chose to forget everything I did right with the past two ebooks and try something new.
It's okay to try new things, but not at the expense of the lessons you learned in the past. I simply wrote up a very long peice (105 pages) on everything I knew regarding running a business online. There was no table of contents, just three gigantic sections of information. It was, to be frank, completely overwhelming for readers. Since I didn't focus enough on any one area, many readers said that they felt the information was great but far too spread out to be truly useful. That's not to say I am disgusted with the book, it's actually pretty good in terms of content, but it's nowhere near focused and organized enough.
Unfortunately, I also tried to really sell this book instead of engaging others in conversation about related topics. I told them to just go buy it and see for themselves, instead of proving the value I could bring through discussions and debate. I was a salesman instead of a friend recommending a successful product.
Why didn't I write in such a way that the information was concise and immediately useful like my previous ebooks? Why didn't I take advantage of unconventional methods for selling the book like I did in the past? For one, I fell victim to the lie that you have to do things a certain way in order to be successful selling an ebook. Because the niche was new to me, I felt that what I had learned in other niches was no longer true. I see this in the words of many of my readers who move to the make-money-online niche from either offline sales or similar businesses to my own. It's not a good mindset to get stuck in.
The book earned very little and I went back to the drawing board.
Ebook case study 4: Re-focused
Black Sheep is my newest ebook and, I think, one of the best I've written. It combines traditional book writing methods with the new age of online concepts. I concisely define what it is I want to teach my buyers (critical thinking and decision making skills in order to improve their online businesses) and keep the book focused on only the information that will achieve this goal. Instead of 105 pages of fluff, I have less than 40 pages of actually useful and powerful information.
I'm still learning to write in the make money online niche and am nowhere near as successful with it as I have been in the gaming niche. However, I hope to continue to go back to what worked in game writing and apply the same concepts to writing for online marketers.
The next ebook I write will probably be for either making money online or a new gaming blog I'm starting about the Diablo 3 franchise. In either case, I will be going back to using outside the box methods for presenting the information within my next ebook, all the while remaining as concise as possible.
These are the lessons I have learned from successfully and not so successfully writing ebooks. What have you learned? Have you not tried to write an EBook yet?

A cloned phone is where you take 2 phones and make them both appear to the system as 1 phone.
Phone A = Samsung Incognito
Phone B = HTC Evo
You have Phone A active on your account, but you want to use Phone B. If the provider will not authorize Phone B to be used on the account, you copy some information from Phone A and put it on Phone B, one being the phone's unique electronic serial number.
By doing so, Phone B is still the better of the two, but works as if it was Phone A.
It has been in and out of federal court multiple times since 1990 and according to the FBI and FCC, it's still considered unlawful to change the serial number on a cell phone, and it is NOT covered by or under the DMCA.
That's pretty much most of it and much more than that isn't tolerated on the forums.
