Ryan Gomes' Hoops for Heart Health Basketball Camp comes to Harwinton
Ryan Gomes, the pride of Wilby High School in Waterbury, is coming to Harwinton for four days next week for two things that have become pillars of his life -- basketball and his Hoops for Heart Health Foundation.
Gomes will appear for "about an hour" each day at the Ryan Gomes Basketball Camp for girls and boys entering fifth to 10th grades at the Courtside Sports Center at 517 Burlington Road, Harwinton.
The camp promotes his first love, basketball, for the benefit of his second, the Foundation.
"It's our first time in Harwinton. Before that, we had three camps in Waterbury, along with some free clinics," he said in a phone conversation early this week.
The camp, operated by Post University assistant coach Jocquis Sconiers, costs $175 for the first student and $140 for siblings. It runs from 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. each day, stressing fundamentals like proper foot work and shooting form, offensive and defensive moves with and without the ball, mid-range and 3-point shooting techniques and one-on-one moves.
Prospective campers can reach Sconiers at (860) 952-4550 or at email@example.com.
Proceeds go towards the purchase of defibrillators for donation to high schools and universities around the country to combat the sudden cardiac arrest syndrome which killed Gomes' friend and Minnesota Timberwolves teammate Stanley Myers in 2005.
"There was no defibrillator around," said Gomes. "That kind of spark plug started the foundation. It seems like every week, someone was passing away.
"I wanted to be able to touch someone, and I'm able to use basketball as a tool. I'm out there doing what I love to do, playing, and now I can voice what I believe in. And maybe some people will catch on to that just because of where I am," Gomes said when he started the foundation shortly after Myers' death.
Since then, the Foundation has donated some 80 automated external defibrillators (AEDs), costing from $1,500 to $5,000 apiece, starting with the 12 cities Gomes played in as a Timberwolf. The money comes from donations, charity events like golf tournaments and now, basketball camps.
Last year, an AED he donated helped save Utah State University player Danny Berger, who was running drills when he collapsed. Trainer Mike Williams called 911, performed CPR and shocked Berger back to life with the AED the Hoops for Heart Health Foundation provided.
Gomes, a seven-year NBA veteran, began his rise to basketball's pinnacle as team captain at Wilby his junior and senior years (2000). Averaging 26.9 points, 16 rebounds, five assists and three blocks a game, he was easily the Naugatuck Valley League MVP and Billy Finn Award winner as Waterbury's top player in his senior year.
After a year of post-graduate work at Notre Dame Prep (Fitchburg, Massachusetts), he set records at Providence College. Gomes, 6-feet-7, 145 pounds, is the Friars' all-time leading scorer (2,138) and fifth in rebounds (1,028). As a 2005 senior, he was the Big East's leading scorer (21.6 points a game) and the league's fifth leading rebounder (8.2 a game).
The Celtics drafted him as a small forward in 2005's second round, 20th overall.
He played his way to the NBA's All-Rookie second team in his first year, averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in his second, with 60 starts in the 73 games he played. That lured the Timberwolves in 2007, where he upped his stats slightly (12.6 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 45.7 percent shooting) and played for three years.
He signed with the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent, playing there for two years. The Clippers waived him in the third year of his contract. Gomes left to play two-and-a-half months with a team in Germany.
"Now I have to get back up to the top level," he said this week.
His current situation reminds some of Torrington High School's own top basketball graduate, Jordan Williams, currently playing with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA's summer league.
"I've seen him in LA this year," Gomes said. "I think he's a great player who could help a lot of teams. It's good he got picked up. You have to stay motivated, stay positive. He's still young. His brother (Desmond) did real well in Rhode Island, too (two-year All-American at the Community College of Rhode Island)."
Gomes tried out recently with the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.
"My agent is keeping in touch," he said. "It's all about confidence and working hard. Sometimes, negative comments make you even hungrier. All those things go in your memory banks. Whatever you do, you want to be the best."
Sconiers, the camp operator, can relate.
A California native, he played two years at Mt. San Jacinto Community College for the winningest coach in California junior college history, earned two championships and a league defensive-player-of-the-year award in 2002, then went to play for Division II University of Alaska-Fairbanks, where the Nanooks became the first DII school to win a Division I tournament, the 2002 Top of the World Classic.
Sconiers went to work as an assistant coach at his alma mater in 2007, moving to Post in 2011.
"I'll be there every day for an hour. I want the kids to have a great time and work on fundamentals," said Gomes, who's far from done with his own playing career.
"Once you're done, that's all you have left," he said. "I want at least 10 years in the NBA and to go out as a winner. Winning is big in my portfolio. If I don't make it with another NBA team, I'll play as many years as I can overseas."
Danny Berger, still playing at Utah State University thanks to the Hoops for Heart Health Foundation, can relate.

Here's Governor Romney at last night's debate, responding to President Obama's critique of his tax plan:
First of all, I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don't have a tax cut of a scale that you're talking about.
I'm not looking for a $5 trillion tax cut. What I've said is I won't put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit. That's part one. So there's no economist that can say Mitt Romney's tax plan adds $5 trillion if I say I will not add to the deficit with my tax plan.
Okay. Now we know that Gov. Romney's tax plan does not call for a $5 trillion tax cut. Which means that we now officially know nothing at all about Mitt Romney's tax plan.
Previously, Governor Romney has said that his tax plan would cut all individual income tax rates by 20%, eliminate the AMT, eliminate the estate tax, and eliminate taxes on investment income for low- and middle-income taxpayers. He would also extend all of the Bush-era tax cuts that are scheduled to expire at the end of 2012.
Those tax cuts would reduce federal revenues by $480 billion in 2015 over and above the cost of extending the Bush tax cuts. Allow for some growth in income, and the total comes to over $5 trillion over ten years.
Gov. Romney also has a super-secret plan to close loopholes and deductions on high-income taxpayers to make up the lost revenue without raising taxes on low- and middle-income households. Efforts by the Tax Policy Center to test whether such a plan might exist have been met with furious criticism from the Romney campaign and its allies, Through several iterations, the critique has been: (1) that's not our plan, and (2) we won't tell you what the plan actually is.
On Tuesday, there was a hint of specificity. Governor Romney floated a trial balloon: he'd pay for his tax cuts by capping deductions at $17,000. As I pointed out yesterday, that plan probably doesn't work either in the sense that it will either (a) add to the deficit, or (b) raise taxes on middle-income households, both of which the Romney camp has strenuously disavowed. Of course, it's hard to tell what that plan would or would not do because again there are no details. I assume that if the TPC tried to analyze it, Romney would reply that (1) that's not our plan, and (2) we won't tell you what the plan actually is.
And I'm going to work together with Congress to say, OK, what -- what are the various ways we could bring down deductions, for instance? One way, for instance, would be to have a single number. Make up a number, $25,000, $50,000. Anybody can have deductions up to that amount. And then that number disappears for high-income people. That's one way one could do it.
So the deduction threshold is not necessarily $17,000. It is "make up a number." That's helpful.
The bottom line is that we have no idea how Gov. Romney will make up the revenue lost due to the tax cuts he has specified in some detail. Obviously, Gov. Romney doesn't either. The odd thing is that he seems to think that this is irrelevant.
It sounds like some sort of confidence game.
Romney to typical millionaire: "Hey there. Have I got a deal for you! How would you like to save a quarter million bucks in 2015? Sounds good, doesn't it?"
Millionaire: "Uh, sure. What do I have to do to get the quarter million bucks?"
Romney: "Hey, don't worry about that. Those are just details. Sign here."
My guess is that the Romney behind Bain Capital would never have fallen for that scam. Why does he think the voters should?

Let's say you selected the correct rope for the cable pull. Your electrical distributor told you that a ¾-in. cable-pulling rope can handle 12.6 lb per 100 ft of pull and a 5/8-in. rope can handle 9.3 lb. Your calculations showed this pull would require about 9 lb, so you went with the larger rope just to add a safety factor.
To avoid shoulder strain, this pull was set up with a motorized take-up reel. The pull was going just fine, with the cable feeding smoothly into the raceway. Inexplicably, however, the cable suddenly slowed, and then the rope snapped.
Or was it inexplicable? This kind of scenario tends to occur when the cable spools and reels are taken for granted.
One solution to this kind of problem is a type of packaging that hit the market at the start of this millennium. It doesn't use cables or spools. While the initial impetus for it was reducing jobsite waste, packaging design tweaks eliminated the kinking, crossover, and tangling that can occur with spooling. For many applications, this packaging can replace the spools and reels. As the wire becomes heavier due to conductor size and/or length, this packaging becomes less attractive than the spooled wire option. In Part 7, we'll look at other solutions.

New critical holes in Windows detailed
Microsoft released three critical security advisories Wednesday, including a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer and new problems in MDAC and DirectX.
The cracks in Microsoft Windows keep getting bigger.
With the Lovsan and Nachi worms still exploiting critical holes in Windows' Remote Procedure Call protocol, Microsoft announced three new critical vulnerabilities Wednesday that merit the immediate attention of IT administrators.
Microsoft rolled fixes for two new vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer into a cumulative patch for the ubiquitous Web browser. Also, critical flaws were announced in Windows components DirectX and MDAC. In each instance, an attacker would be able to run code of their choice on a vulnerable Windows system.
Internet Explorer fix
The cumulative patch for IE affects versions 5.01, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.0 for Windows Server 2003 and includes fixes for two newly discovered holes. The first is a vulnerability in IE's cross-domain security model that could enable an outsider to execute script in the My Computer zone, Microsoft said. Exploiting the flaw might be difficult, however. An attacker would have to create a malicious Web page that exploits the hole and persuade someone to visit the page, mostly likely via an HTML e-mail.
A second critical vulnerability occurs when IE fails to properly determine an object type returned from a Web server. Again, a user would have to visit a malicious Web page created by an attacker. No other user action, however, would be necessary to exploit this hole.
The cumulative patch also repairs the way IE renders HTML files, specifically input type tags, Microsoft said. An exploit could cause the browser or Outlook to crash. The patch also sets the Kill Bit on the BR549.DLL ActiveX control.
Microsoft points out that by default, IE on Windows Server 2003 runs in enhanced security configuration, which blocks these attacks. This configuration can be turned off by an administrator.
Unchecked buffer in DirectX
Unchecked buffers were discovered in numerous versions of DirectX on different versions of Windows. DirectX is made up of several low-level APIs that Windows uses to support multimedia, like client-side audio and video.
Two buffer overruns in DirectX's DirectShow component, which checks the parameters of a MIDI file, could enable an attacker to hijack a system. However, attackers would need to create a malicious MIDI file and host it on a Web page or network share, or send it via HTML e-mail.
Affected versions include: DirectX 5.2 on Windows 98; DirectX 6.1 on Windows 98 SE; DirectX 7.1 on Windows ME; DirectX 7.0 on Windows 2000; DirectX 8.0, 8.0a, 8.1, 8.1a and 8.1b on Windows 98 and 98 SE, Windows ME or Windows 2000; DirectX 8.1 on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003; DirectX 9.0a on Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003; Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition and NT 4.0 with Windows Media Player 6.4 or IE 6 Service Pack 1 installed.
More buffer overflows in MDAC
Critical buffer overflow vulnerabilities were detailed in Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7. This patch corrects a previous fix for MDAC, which Microsoft said did not install correctly on some systems.
MDAC components provide database connectivity on Windows platforms and is likely present on most Windows systems, Microsoft said. A buffer overflow was discovered in one of the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) components in MDAC.
This also impacts enterprises running SQL Server. Attackers could exploit this hole by using the Transact-SQL OpenRowSet command. Submitting a database query with a malformed parameter could overrun the buffer and either crash SQL Server or enable an attacker to run code of their choice.
Exploiting this hole would require an attacker to build a malicious Web page or HTML e-mail message and entice the user to take action.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Delicious!!! I used to make my own white sangria and it was such a hit that everyone always wanted the recipe. This weekend I had a friend show up unexpectedly and I didn't have time to make my famous sangria. I remembered that I had bought this on a whim last week. Well, I will probably never bother to make my famous sangria again because this was sooooo good!!!!! OMG!!! It is so incredibly wonderful and delicious!! It is a little on the expensive side, but it is worth it!!Date published: 2016-07-26Rated 1 out of 5 by Fritz30 from Disappointed We love this Sangria Mix. Very disappointed that William Sonoma reduced the size of the bottle from a 32 to a 24 oz size and kept the price the same. I feel it is over priced for a non-alcoholic mix.Date published: 2016-07-08

Tonic seizures are fairly uncommon. They occur mostly in people with
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. This is a severe form of generalized
epilepsy that begins in early childhood. (Children
with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome may also have atonic seizures.)
When a tonic seizure occurs, the muscles in the body contract and the entire body stiffens. This occurs suddenly and without warning. And it often causes the person to fall down.
People who have tonic or atonic seizures are likely to be injured
when they fall. Children may have to wear helmets and restrict their activities
to prevent serious injury.

Military Children: Strong, Resilient, Adaptable Individuals
By Air Force Airman 1st Class Valentina Viglianco
11th Wing
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md., April 27, 2018 April is designated as the Month of the Military Child and is a time to honor the sacrifices of the more than 1.7 million children of military members serving in the U.S. and overseas.
Military children go through different challenges than civilian children, said retired Air Force Master Sgt. Jose Cerna, a parent of two military children. With todays operations tempo of the military and all the deployments military members have to go through, the children have to stay behind and have to be strong without their parent[s].
Joses oldest child, Melissa Cerna, 17, is a student at Joint Base Andrews feeder school Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. She said she remembers the obstacles she faced during her fathers time in the military.
*Fathers Deployment, Multiple Moves*
It was a challenge for me being a military child because I had to stay emotionally tough, Melissa said. When I was in third grade I experienced my dad being deployed for six months. This was a time of great sadness because I missed his presence. While my dad was deployed it made me realize how important his physical and emotional contributions were to the family.
Melissa said her experience of repeated deployments of a parent and multiple moves in a school year have taught her resiliency.
Through these challenges, it made me stronger as a person and more adaptable, she said. While my dad was deployed, I had to step up to the plate and be strong for my younger brother and help my mom out more. I would be extra positive for my brother by letting him know that dad will be back home soon, and I would help make dinners with my mom.
Children like Melissa may be the younger members of the military community, but many sons and daughters are big supporters of their military families.
*My Children Cared About My Job*
Melissa has always been interested in my career in the military, Jose said. Every day she and her brother would meet me at the door and ask me about my day. It was very special to know that my children cared about my job.
Jose served 25 years in the Air Force as an electrical power production craftsman. His career took his children to Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, Incirlik Air Base in Turkey and here.
When I was younger, I would put his uniform on, Melissa said of her father. Growing up, I always thought I wanted to be just like him.
She said her father is a big role model in her life and a big influence. She even joined her schools Air Force Junior ROTC and said she wants to follow in her fathers footsteps and fight for freedom just like he did.
I feel very proud that she wants to follow my footsteps in the Air Force, but even more proud that she wants to be a commissioned officer, Jose said. Whether she is enlisted or an officer, I will be very proud of her because I know she is a resilient military child who will work hard for her goals.

text: How do we identify the areas where new schools are required? How can our existing schools be renewed so that they remain sustainable? How can school space be transformed into valuable space for the community when student enrolment is insufficient to keep the facility open? These questions will form the basis for dialogue with parents, EPSB staff and other interested stakeholders over the next several months. The answers to these questions will help the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) to develop a plan for managing student space now and into the future. There is an opportunity for YOU to become involved in these discussions, in a variety of ways.

AutoCodesOBDII Code ListP1226 2010 NISSAN SENTRA
P1226 2010 NISSAN SENTRA - Closed Throttle Position Learning Performance Problem
Possible causes
- Faulty Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 2)
- Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 2) harness is open or shorted
- Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 2) circuit poor electrical connection
When is the code detected?Closed throttle position learning is not performed successfully, repeatedly.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P1226 2010 Nissan Sentra DescriptionElectric Throttle Control Actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc. The Throttle Position (TP) sensor responds to the throttle valve movement.
The throttle position sensor has the two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers which transform the throttle valve position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to driving condition.

Ironman or Iron-Distance? A Triathlon Branding Battle Brews
Endurance Race Planners Puzzle Over How to Draw Crowds Without the Ironman Seal
The Ironman triathlon coming to Chattanooga, Tenn., in September sold out 2,500 slots in under a minute.
The Hits triathlons feature races exactly as demanding: a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run. The events have averaged just 30 registrants this year.
It's hard to see much difference between the two beyond the logo....

We're pleased to share the this blog post from special AN reporter Alice Walker (McGill University). She shares her observations and some photos from of the beginning of her first AAA meeting.
The weeks leading up to the meeting, I was unsure what to expect. Several of my professors and other students were attending, but social media and news sources had been relatively quiet leading up to the event. Wednesday morning Twitter (#AAA2011) exploded with messages about delayed flights, advertisements for upcoming speakers and tremendous dialogue about the free poutine provided by the City of Montreal; I had to get down there to see what all this was about.
From my background as an undergraduate student in a small department, seeing more than five anthropologists in the same room is an anomaly. Upon arriving at the meeting and witnessing thousands of students, professionals and enthusiasts flowing in and out of lecture halls was incredibly overwhelming.
A stark contrast to the chaos in the hallways, the silence and calmness of each lecture hall makes it easy to focus on the fascinating lectures at hand. With only fifteen minutes each, speakers summarized months of fieldwork and research, then, after realizing they have about a minute left, thumb past multiple pages to get to the complex theories and observations that are the crux of their presentations. The audience, ears pricked, hastily scribbled notes and nodded subconsciously as they digested the complex material.
Arriving at the event without any prior experience was incredibly intimidating, but well worth the initial discomfort. Not only are the papers being presented incredibly interesting, but each lecturer clearly cares deeply about their research and speaks about it passionately. In my first day I was able to hear a huge array of topics from sex practices in Senegal, to modern superstition in Italy. It's easy to lose track of time, but such a fascinating experience that I cannot wait to return to tomorrow!

Jersey police chief is force of calm in Sandy's wake
TOMS RIVER TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- Police Chief Michael Mastronardy's socks are soaked and his navy blue uniform is covered with tufts of cat hair. Tipper, a skittish cat he rescued from the northern barrier island on the New Jersey shore, cowers in a corner under the back seat.
He's got to get back to Tipper's owner fast because he has a conference call in less than 30 minutes with President Obama and Gov. Chris Christie. "We've been busy," he says to describe a non-stop day that began at 4:15 a.m.
Mastronardy, chief of this community of 90,000 for two decades, has been a one-man restoration crew since Superstorm Sandy blew through. He has directed police operations, led media tours of devastated areas on the Jersey shore and calmed residents worried about the condition of their homes and status of pets they had to leave behind.
A burly man with a gruff exterior that masks a wry sense of humor and a streak of kindness, he's been a steady hand in the aftermath of the storm. During a press conference Thursday at the foot of the bridge that leads to the northern barrier island, Mastronardy talked with residents frustrated that they couldn't get on the island to see their homes.
Jack Sauer, who owns a house in Lavallette, wanted to know how long it would be before residents could get back on the island.
"The governor said get the hell off the beach," Sauer says. "Fine. Now we need to get the hell on the beach. I understand they want to start rebuilding, but then they need to let us get there to do it."
Kate and Jerry Gioglio wanted to know not just how their home fared, but also the fate of their 3-year-old cat, Tipper. They were on vacation when the storm hit, so the cat was alone.
Meanwhile, Giuseppe Padovano, 68, had run out of three days' worth of insulin that he had taken with him when he evacuated and he needed more -- fast.
Mastronardy explained that the destruction made it too dangerous for residents to go back right now. Instead, he took their names and phone numbers and promised to go check on homes, get medicines, find pets and, in one case, bring over the wedding dress of a resident's daughter.
Mastronardy, like other officials, won't commit to a time frame for when residents will be allowed back in. He says that first the roads need to be cleared and gas turned off and inspectors need to make sure that the structures still standing are safe to enter.
So he made trips for them. On his way to pick up Padovano's medicine, he is stopped by state troopers trying to get a ride for two residents who want to be evacuated off the island. Since the storm, about 400 people have been taken out. Mastronardy calls it in and keeps moving. He skirts around a road blocked by a house that was swept off its foundation and landed in the middle of the street.
At Padovano's house, a gas worker shuts the gas off. He is helping several crews going door-to-door shutting off the gas in each property so fires don't break out. Padovano runs inside and grabs five boxes of insulin and a box of needles.
Mastronardy ribs him that he took too long. "I thought you were changing in there. I thought you'd come out in a suit and tie."
Padovano laughs. "Now I can live a little longer," he says.
Mastronardy makes more stops, photographing homes with his cellphone to show the owners. He drives by parks that washed away in the storm. The swings and slides, now surrounded by water, look as if they are part of the bay.
His last stop on this trip -- he will make several more during the day including one by helicopter -- is to find the Gioglios' cat. He leaves the house 15 minutes later, clutching the feline.
"I thought that was going to be easy," he says, breathing hard as he climbs into the truck. "You don't know what I went through. "
He had to coax the cat out from under a couch and had taken off his shoes and walked on the wet carpet so he wouldn't leave tracks of mud in the house.
With Tipper safely in his owner's arms, Mastronardy races to the county airport, where he learns he's doing a helicopter flyover of the stricken area with the state attorney general. But not before he participates on a conference call with the president and governor to update them on the cleanup.
"As chief of police, you do what you have to do to get it done," he says.

Police are investigating a scuffle between Kanye West and a cameraman at Los Angeles International Airport, where paparazzi are known to lurk in hopes of snapping shots of celebrities.
LAX Police Sgt. Steve Savala says numerous witnesses are being interviewed about the Friday afternoon incident to compile a report for detectives to investigate.
TMZ posted a video Friday of the alleged incident, showing West being thronged by cameras while trying to get into a white Mercedes Benz waiting curbside.
As flashbulbs illuminate his face, West accuses the paparazzi of trying to provoke him before lunging at the camera and trying to wrestle it away.
A police officer tells them to break it up before West is chauffeured away.

Asian stocks rose this week, with the benchmark index gaining for the first time in a month, on optimism policymakers in the US and China would bolster growth in the world's two biggest economies. Japanese shares jumped as the yen weakened.
Shandong Weigao Group Medical Polymer Co., a Chinese medical products maker, soared 34 percent in Hong Kong this week after reporting higher sales, leading gains on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index.
Nissan Motor Co, which gets about 80 percent of revenue outside Japan, rose 4.6 percent as the yen declined to a two-month low.
James Hardie Industries, a building-materials supplier that makes more than half of its sales in the US, jumped 13 percent in Sydney after reporting better-than-expected operating profit.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 1.9 percent to 141.57 this week, the biggest weekly advance since the five days ended Sept. 20. China may release details of its economic policy plans as early as next week, according to Morgan Stanley.
US Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen, the nominee for Fed chairman, signaled during her senate confirmation hearing on Thursday that she would not consider ending the Fed's bond-buying scheme as long as growth remained tepid and unemployment elevated.
"The statement made by Yellen is definitely favorable for equity markets," said Khiem Do, Hong Kong-based head of Asian multi-asset strategy at Baring Asset Management. "Fourth quarter is a very favorable period for equity markets around the world. It looks like global investors are back in Japan again."
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average surged 7.7 percent this week, climbing above 15,000 for the first time since May and posting the steepest weekly rally in almost four years. China's Shanghai Composite advanced 1.4 percent.
Asia's regional equities gauge slumped on Wednesday amid disappointment in the lack of details released at the conclusion of China's four-day leadership meeting.
Shares then reversed course, with gains accelerating on Friday as the Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper reported that a 20,000-word document approved at the plenum lays out 15 areas of reform and 60 "concrete tasks."
Policy changes may be announced over the next seven to 10 days, Jonathan Garner, the Hong Kong-based chief Asia and emerging-market strategist at Morgan Stanley, said on Thursday.
Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) said corruption remains a problem and urged more courage and stronger measures to push forward reforms, according to a transcript of his speech at the plenum published on Friday by Xinhua News Agency.
Taiwanese shares bucked the regional trend, sliding 0.6 percent this week to 8,177.12.
Yellen's testimony lifted the TAIEX on Friday, led by bargain-hunting in old economy stocks, particularly in cement, petrochemicals and textiles, but electronics stocks consolidated, capping the gains on the broader market, dealers said.
Singapore's Straits Times Index rose 0.8 percent, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index was little changed.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index advanced 1.3 percent this week, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, a gauge of mainland stocks also known as the H-share index, jumped 3 percent.
In other markets on Friday:
Manila rose 0.29 percent, or 18.52 points, from Thursday to 6,346.40.
Wellington fell 0.27 percent, or 13.1 points, from Thursday to 4,914.08.

There are places around the southwest where one could find things like that - but usually those areas are posted, and if you get near the Keep Out signs or fences (if present), they show up within 15-30 minutes in helicopters to kick you off. Gunnery and bombing ranges and such.

In fact, rumor has it, they don't just kick you off, they take you to the base somewhere to ask you WTF you were doing out there! Some areas like this abut mining districts, with prospects and old mines (and potential drilling targets) continuing across fences and boundaries. Really tempting to go across, but not a good idea.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (10-29, 5-7 PBC) dropped their first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) doubleheader of the season Tuesday at No. 4 North Georgia (30-8, 6-2 PBC). The Bobcats fell in a close contest 3-1 in game two after dropping the first game 8-0.
Georgia College fell behind 2-0 in game two, but cut the lead in half with a run in the top of the sixth.
Freshman Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) led the inning off with an infield single, followed by a bunt single from senior Kati Pickowitz (Keller, Texas).
A Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) single would drive in the Bobcats' only run of the afternoon. North Georgia pushed it back out of reach with a run in the bottom of the sixth.
For the game, the 'Cats and the Saints matched each other with seven hits apiece. Okvist and Pickowitz each went 2-for-3.
Burnett (1-11) was the hard luck loser for GC, going six strong innings allowing just two earned runs.
The story of game one revolved around Saint pitcher Jessica Coan (14-3), who went all five innings allowing just one hit. Junior Sabrina Chandler (Covington, Ga.) went 3 1/3 innings allowing four earned runs in the loss (7-11).
Okvist provided the Bobcats only hit in the top of the third, which was a bunt single.
The Bobcats will look to right the ship against No. 24 Armstrong Atlantic Monday, March 28 beginning at 3 p.m. at the Peeler Complex. That doubleheader makes four consecutive games against teams in the nation's top-25.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Wednesday's session are Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Jakks Pacific Inc. and American Express Co.
Major companies galore are scheduled to report quarterly results. Blue chip American Express AXP, -0.52% as well as BlackRock Inc. BLK, -0.25% and SLM Corp. SLM, -1.14% are all on deck from the financial sector, while eBay Inc. EBAY, -1.23%, Qualcomm Inc. QCOM, -0.55%, Lam Research Corp. LRCX, +0.91%, VMware Inc. VMW, -1.27% and F5 Networks Inc. FFIV, -0.08% highlight the tech sector. Rounding out Wednesday's roster are Yum Brands Inc. YUM, +0.04%, Marriott International Inc. MAR, +0.85%, Stanley Black & Decker Inc. SWK, -1.42%, Halliburton Co. HAL, -1.95%, Noble Corp. NE, -2.54%, Abbott Laboratories ABT, -0.14%, Quest Diagnostics Inc. DGX, +0.40% and St. Jude Medical Inc. STJ, -2.62%, among others.
Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B, -0.51% BRK.A, -0.51%, has been diagnosed with Stage I prostate cancer, the Omaha-based company said. However, the condition isn't life-threatening, according to the 81-year-old Buffett, who said he feels "great" in a statement. "I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday, followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body," said Buffett. He plans to undergo two months of radiation treatments beginning in mid-July. "I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off," he added.
Also late Tuesday, SandRidge Energy Inc. SD, -14.66% said it's closed on a $750 million private placement of 8.125% senior notes. Net proceeds from the sale of the 10-year notes are going for the cash consideration paid in connection with Oklahoma City-based SandRidge's acquisition of Dynamic Offshore Resources LLC, which also was completed Tuesday. Terms of the deal called for payment of about $680 million in cash as well as some 74 million SandRidge common shares. Based on their Tuesday closing price of $7.11, aggregate consideration for Dynamic Offshore came to nearly $1.21 billion. Remaining proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, SandRidge said.
No signs of thaw in the chilly relations between Jakks Pacific JAKK, +10.39% and one of the company's largest stockholders: Oaktree Capital Management LP OAK released the text of a letter sent a letter to the board of Jakks, saying among other things that the investment company has "no confidence in the capability and credibility" of the Jakks directors and executive team and that "immediate change is required to preserve and protect the interest of public shareholders." Oaktree and its advisers stand "ready to proceed immediately toward presenting a firm acquisition proposal." In response, Jakks released the text of a letter from CEO Stephen Berman, saying in part: "After 13 months, there is nothing new in your letter. You have not now and never have made a 'cash offer' to acquire Jakks. The only thing the Jakks board of directors and its independent financial and legal advisers have been presented with are non-binding indications of interest and invitations to negotiate."
Making what would be its third acquisition of the year, ConAgra Foods Inc. CAG, +2.65% said it agreed to acquire Odom's Tennessee Pride, a leading producer of breakfast sandwiches and sausage. Terms were not disclosed, but Omaha-based ConAgra said Odom's Tennessee Pride has annual revenue of more than $190 million as the No. 2 U.S. producer of frozen breakfast sandwiches. Odom's Tennessee Pride has about 750 employees and facilities in Little Rock, Ark., and Dickson, Tenn. The deal's expected to be completed within 45 days, the buyer said.
Strategic Hotels & Resorts Inc. BEE, +4.55% said that it expects to sell 16 million common shares in a secondary public offering and that it's filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities Exchange Commission under an effective shelf registration. Net proceeds will be earmarked for such purposes as paying down bank credit borrowings and other debt, funding capital expenditures, and financing the payment of accrued and unpaid preferred dividends, the Chicago-based company said. Underwriters will have an option to buy up to 2.4 million additional shares if investor demand warrants.

Reliable diesel engine? Manual transmission? Big solid axles? These are the components that make wheelers drool, and this '01 Ford F-250 has them in the form of a 7.3L Power Stroke and ZF six-speed. But the stiff factory leaf-spring suspension didn't cause drooling; it caused crying. Even with the Four Wheel Camper and custom CBI rear bumper and tire carrier, the rear suspension required single-digit speeds on rough roads to keep the pain to both man and machine to a minimum.
Our salvation came from Australian suspension manufacturer Old Man Emu, who know a thing or two about traveling over the rough roads of the Outback at speed. Fortunately for us, the Aussies love big American trucks and had just what we needed to make our heavy Super Duty float like a butterfly.
How does Old Man Emu make old-fashioned leaf springs work so well? A lot of technology goes into each leaf, including shot peening to reduce spring stress, diamond cutting the ends to make them thinner and more flexible, and military wraps for less axlewrap and a margin of safety should a main leaf break. The springs also use bolt clamps instead of crimp clamps, and Teflon liners and graphite paint to reduce friction and provide a smoother ride. As a bonus the suspension not only rode better but also provided enough room for a set of 35-inch Pro Comp Xtreme MT2s and great-looking Pro Comp La Paz rims to put more rubber on the road and increase our ground clearance when the pavement ends.
Don't let the "Xtreme" part of the name fool you—these tires are quiet on the street and even feature a 40,000-mile treadwear rating, but they are aggressive enough to get our big Ford through any terrain where we dare take our Four Wheel Camper. Now the only tears we are crying when we hit the trail are tears of joy.

Web design could be described as the skill of creating presentations that are delivered through the World Wide Web to an end user. Webs design will include text, pictures, sounds and other content. The ease of modern programming making cheap web design and building available to the public.
With the changing face of programming simple programs are now allowing Cheap Web Design. Programs that used to difficult and expensive to be embodied into the design and end product. Online sites in London UK leading the way.
Web pages are classified as dynamic or static:
• Static pages never change their appearance
• Dynamic pages adapt their content and/or appearance depending on the end user. Both approaches are normally used in more complex applications.
There is also a need to understand the difference between design and development. developers concentrate on emphasizing the functional features of a web site while design is graphic design with high-end consumer features for a website.
Accessibility now is changing as content management systems that allow changes to be made to pages without the need of programming skills, facilitating cheap website design and build due to it being easier to maintain.
Another aspect of how design is changing is that it now very important to understand different components of building and design in order for it to be accessible to people with disabilities.
When considering creating and designing, it is very important to take the time to plan exactly what is needed, you must considering the target audience and the purpose before deciding what content must be developed.
The internet came to life in19991 This was a new form of communication – users could easily navigate to other pages by following hyperlinks or links from page to page. Tim Bernere-Lee was the first website builder and web designer.
As he internet progressed, the language changed to become more complicated yet flexible, allowing the adding of objects like tables to a page, enhancing the look. Developers are changing the code on the inside design on the outside with ever-evolving cheap website design programs and cheap website building techniques.
The internet has come of age and now there are many choices of companies offering design in around the world to serve the growing demand. Many Companies in many Western cities are setting up offices in countries such as India and Thailand and taking advantage of the low labor rates found in these countries.

Home Page Chess Life Online 2014 October The February Check is in the Mail
|The February Check is in the Mail
|By Alex Dunne
|February 17, 2013
After three years of
play and with only one game remaining, the 25th World Championship Final has a
winner and New World Champion, GM Fabio Finocchiaro from Italy!
Fabio Finocchiaro is 73 years old and lives in a village on the island of Sicily. Fabio alone among the seventeen contestants used postcards to transmit his moves while everyone else used email. Nevertheless he finished all his games on time. There is still one game remaining, but it does not affect first place. Finocchiaro's games from the 25th World Championship have not yet been released so here is a win from the 15th World Championship Final against the US's Robert Reynolds.
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bg5 Nbd7 4.Nf3 g6
In this way Fabio sidesteps the passive ...e6 in favor of a more flexible piece arrangement.
5.e3 Bg7 6.Be2
This small step of the Bishop instead of the usual 6. Bd3 was a Reynolds specialty, he having played it many times in top competition.
0-0 7.0-0 c6 8.h3 Re8
With the goal of ...e5 so White is forced to backtrack with 9. Bf4 or start center action with 9. Ne5.
After 9. Ne5 Nxe5 10. dxe5 Nd7 11. f4 Qb6 12. Qc1 f6, Black stands better.
9...b6 10.Ne5 Nxe5
Finocchiaro accepts the challenge. In previous games (Reynolds-Osterman, Algeria Jubilee 1993 for one instance) Reynolds had faced only 10...Bb7
11.Bxe5 Bh6
At first sight an odd move, but Back wants to play ...Nd7 and ...e5 without exchanging Bishops.
12.Bf3 Nd7 13.Bf4!?
And White crosses Black's plan as now 13...Bg7 is met by 14. e4! when White has the initiative in the center. Black has to settle for a slight structural weakness in White's position.
13...Bxf4 14.exf4 Ba6 15.Re1 e6 16.Ne2 Rc8 17.c3 Qf6
After 17...Bxe2 the middlegame is even.
18.Qd2 c5 19.g4
White's justification for this move is that Black is gaining the initiative on the queenside, but it might have been better to just sit and wait.
19...Rc7 20.Ng3?!
And now White abandons the queenside. Better was 20. Rad1 to meet ...cxd4 with Nxd4 and dynamic equality.
20...cxd4 21.cxd4 Rec8 22.f5
Of course White can now not challenge the c-file as the f or d-Pawn will fall and so must continue his kingside operations.
22...Rc2 23.Qf4 Nf8 24.g5 Qd8 25.f6 h6!
Fabio demonstrates world championship defensive qualities -- Black defends against White playing h4, h6; h5! breaking open the Black kingside and Qh4-h6 and Qg7 mate.
26.h4 Rxb2 27.Rac1 Rbc2 28.Rxc2 Rxc2 29.Re5 Nd7 30.h5!?
" It may be desperation, but it's all I've got," may be the attitude, and what White was thinking, but otherwise it's resignation.
30...hxg5 31.Rxg5 Qxf6 32.Qe3
The endgame is easy after 32. Qxf6 Nxf6 33. hxg6 fxg634. Rxg6+ Kf7 and a2 falls.
32...Rc3 33.Rxg6+ Qxg6 34.Qxc3 Qd3 35.Qc7 Qxf3 36.Qxd7 Bc4 37.a4
Similar to the game is 37. Qxa7 Qd1+ 38. Kg2 Qxd4
37...Qf6 38.Qxa7 Qxd4 39.Qe7 Qf4 40.Qd8+ Kg7 41.h6+ Kh7
The last trap -- 41...Kxh6? 42. Qh8+ Kg6 43. Qg8+ Kf6 44. Qd8+ is a draw.
42.Qxb6 d4 1-0
White concedes. After 43. Qc5 the game might have continued 43...Bd5! 44. Qf8 Qc1+ 45. Nf1 Qg5+ 46. Ng3 f5! 47. Qf7+ Kxh6 48. Qf8+ Qg7 with a Black win.
1. The food is better.
2. Time pressure is measured in days, not minutes.
3. Take a break to watch "The Daily Show"
5. The trip home is already over.
6. A nap in the middle of the game is not always a bad idea.
7. Always your choice of chess sets
8. Analysis is deeper when you can physically move the pieces.
9. "J'adoube" is unnecessary.
10. Penmanship counts !

In the Master category - Dan Woodard for his game against David Porter from October's "The Check".
In the non-Master division, the winner is Edward Addis from March 2012.
W. John Lutes was born January 2, 1938, died January 3, 2013. John, Master level OTB, was an adherent to the Weaver Adams school of US chess - attack, attack, always attack ! and was the author of nine opening chess books that encouraged that attitude. In 1964 John drew a simultaneous game against Bobby Fischer. John worked as a neurological respiratory therapist in Peoria, Illinois. He abandoned OTB play in 1979 due to his strenuous job requirements. His final illness caused him to twice withdraw from postal play, but always the optimist that a good attacker must be, John kept coming back.
The hero of this piece is White's h-Pawn that dies just before reaching the promised land.

Shopping Online: Tips for the holidays
The holiday season is upon us, and that means millions of people will be shopping for gifts online. Though online shopping peaks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you can be a safe shopper year-round. Here are some tips to remember:
-Always use a credit card. Never use a wire-transfer or a non-credit card method to buy anything online. Laws allow you to challenge any disputed item that shows up on your credit card bill, and most credit card companies have what's called a "zero liability" policy that doesn't hold you accountable for charges made if your card is lost or stolen.
-Make sure you're using a secure site when paying for something. The site you're visiting may not have an "https" in the URL, but you should see one when you go to check out. As an example, when you shop at Amazon, you only see www.amazon.com in the URL. But when you go to pay for the items in your shopping cart, you're taken to a secure version of the site. You can see that the checkout page begins with "https," a sign that you're on a secure site.
-When in doubt, do some research! If looking at a website that seems sketchy, pause for a second and do some research on the company before you buy. The Better Business Bureau offers a list of accredited businesses on its website. You can also Google the company. You may find customer reviews and experiences that could help you determine if the site is legitimate. If in doubt, don't buy.
-Finally, don't click on links directly from e-mails. Businesses love to send e-mails touting their latest sales. But so do scammers! If you get an e-mail from the Gap advertising 30% off, don't click directly from the email. Instead, type in the Gap's web address directly into your browser and then search for the deals. This helps prevent you from clicking on a link from a phishing email.
Online shopping is fun and convenient. Just make sure you're doing it safely and securely, and you should be fine.

Here go the three questions:
1. Who are your parents? Where and when were they born? When and where were they married?
I realize this is a compound question, but it is aimed at the most basic family history information. Try these questions on your own children and random friends, you may be surprised at the answers. I also realize that there are a huge variety of family circumstances, single parents, divorced parents, adoptions, foster parents and many more variations. Each of these give its own difficulties, but how can you go back in time if you don't know your parents.
2. Can you name all four (or more in the case of divorce or death and remarriage) of your grandparents? I mean their complete names with the maiden names of the grandmothers. Of course, you would go on with the same information about your grandparents, birth, marriage and perhaps death. What's more important, can you do this without looking at a cheat sheet aka family group record or pedigree chart?
Another compound question, but how do you do family history if you don't know basic information about your grandparents. I am not being sarcastic, I really do talk to people almost every day who expect to do their family history without knowing anything about their own grandparents.
OK here goes question No. 3:
3. Remember those first two questions? How about the same questions about your great-grandparents?
I hope you see the point. knowledge about your family is incremental. You can't jump generations and have any possibility of coming to correct or reliable conclusions. It might happen that someone else has already done the work to record your immediate ancestors. If so, and you believe them, your first level work is started. But you really need to get to know the people, not just names. Meanwhile, I still have one friend who knows his father's name and nothing else and isn't particularly interested in finding out. I predict he will not go far in the genealogical community.

Holi is the most colourful and vibrant festival and is a spring festival in India or simply known as festival of colours.
In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter.
The highlights of this festival is bright coloured powder known as "gulal" are thrown on people's faces and followed by splashing of water. It is a celebration of triumph of good over bad. This colourful festival falls on Phalguna Purnima (Full Moon) which is usually in Febuary/March.
Here are some of my photos taken from the merry festival. It's my first time attending this and you will be surprised that many expats also join in the fun! And even my expat friends can tell me so much about this festival.
It was a huge turn out and a great success at the event.This event even made it to the Malaysian Book of Records for the largest Holi Festival at 6000 pax. Wooohooooo!
Hmmm...this makes an interesting hair dye (just kidding)
In high spirits
It was certainly raining colours and everyone was coloured bombed at the scene. No one escapes! Hahahaha! Look at me all drenched in colours! After this I had to throw away my shirt. No point washing it. My very first experience of the Holi Festival was indeed very memorable. I did some reading beforehand on some FAQ and what to expect. We were asked to bring minimal items and waterproof our phones or our valuables because you'll never know if you end up wet from top to toe. It is best to bring spare towels and clothes to change after the event. Good job organizers!

At AAMCO Springfield, we know transfer cases are an essential part of your all-wheel and 4-wheel drive vehicle. It is important that it is periodically serviced by exchanging the old fluid with the proper fresh fluid and checking it thoroughly for leaks and damage.This important fluid cools and lubricates the gears, chains, bearings, shafts and other essential parts inside your transfer case and over time, the additives in the fluid wear out and won't protect the parts as it should. Small metal and clutch material wears off and contaminates the fluid as well. Snowy, off road and wet environments can really shorten maintenance intervals, so check with your AAMCO Springfield professional for advice.As with all moving parts, transfer case parts will also eventually wear out and internal repairs may be necessary. AAMCO's experts can service and repair any transfer case problems or maintenance needs you have.

2014 KIDS COUNT Data Book finds some gains for Hawai'i's childrenUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Hawaii KIDS COUNT Project Director, Center on the Family
The 25th Edition of KIDS COUNT Data Book finds some gains in economic well-being and education of Hawai'i's children, but concerns remain
The 2014 KIDS COUNT Data Book, released today by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, marks 25 years of bringing attention to national and state-level data on the well-being of children. According to the data presented in the annual report, Hawai'i ranks 25th out of 50 states on overall child well-being.
The report presents data on 16 indicators in four areas essential to child well-being: economic well-being, education, health, and the family and community context. Recent trend data (many from 2005 – 2012) presented in the Data Book show how children did mid-decade prior to the economic recession, compared to how they are faring in the aftermath. Certain conditions for Hawai'i's children have improved during the period examined, however, others have worsened.
- Three of the four economic conditions – children living in poverty, children whose parents lack secure employment, and children in households with a high housing cost burden – worsened since the pre-recession period. However, two conditions (children in poverty and children in households with a high housing cost burden) have remained stable since the 2013 Data Book, and two conditions (children in families where parents lack secure employment and teens not in school and not working) improved slightly from the previous year. Hawai'i has among the highest rates of children in households with a high housing cost burden, and continues to hover near the bottom third in the economic domain.
- Gains in the education domain have continued, with improvements in all four indicators. Despite steady improvements in reading and math proficiency and the on-time high school graduation rate over the past several years, Hawai'i continues to rank near the bottom third on these three indicators and in the education domain as a whole.
- Hawai'i is doing relatively well in the health domain, ranking 22nd in the nation. The health conditions measured – child and teen death rate, percent of low-birth weight babies, percent of children without health insurance, and percent of teens who abuse substances – have remained somewhat stable, showing little to no change over the period examined. Hawai'i has among the smallest share of children without health insurance and among the lowest death rates, ranking 2nd and 7th, respectively, in the nation on these indicators.
- Hawai'i is also doing well in the area of family and community well-being, ranking 13th out of 50 states. Despite this ranking, there has been a worsening on two indicators, with an upward trend in the share of children living in single-parent families and children living in high-poverty areas.
KIDS COUNT began tracking the well-being of our nation's children in the early 1990s, with the Center on the Family at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa serving as Hawai'i's KIDS COUNT affiliate since 1994.
"The well-being of our children is the most important indicator of how well our state is doing in terms of long-term economic success and how well we will do in the future," said Ivette Rodriguez Stern, the Hawai'i KIDS COUNT Project Director. "The good news is that we're no longer slipping in rank where it comes to the overall well-being of Hawai'i's children, as had been the case in recent years. We're now somewhere in the middle and while we're doing well in the areas of health and in the family and community context, we're ranked much lower where it comes to the economic well-being of our children and education." Stern added, "Nevertheless, there are encouraging signs in the data. Two of the four economic conditions improved slightly since the previous year – perhaps speaking to economic recovery – and gains in the education domain have continued. But these gains must continue in the years ahead in order for child outcomes to improve and for our state to stay strong, stable and globally competitive."
Over the past two decades, the nation has gained significant knowledge on how to give children a good start and help them meet major milestones throughout childhood. The report addresses this knowledge and policies that set children up for success throughout life. "One of the things that we clearly know from the research is that a focus on the early years is critical in order to promote healthy child development and to give children a strong foundation for success," said Dr. Marianne Berry, Director of the Center on the Family. "Children who have access to high quality early care and learning experiences tend to have better outcomes across domains, with life-long benefits. Efforts to improve the overall well-being of Hawai'i's children must, therefore, consider investments in providing our young children with high quality care and education."
The KIDS COUNT Data Book http://www.aecf.org/resources/the-2014-kids-count-data-book/ features the latest data on child well-being for every state, the District of Columbia and the nation. This information is available in the KIDS COUNT Data Center, which also contains the most recent national, state and local data on hundreds of measures of child well-being. Data Center users can create rankings, maps and graphs for use in publications and on websites, and view real-time information on mobile devices.

text: This rechargeable all LED 2-in-1 Task Light is a very versatile work light. It is actually two lights in one...a spotlight and a floodlight. Rated at 12 lumens, the spotlight beam on this light puts a beam of light exactly where you need it. This unique work light also has a non-focused 60 lumens floodlight built into the handle. Because the floodlight does not have a reflector, the light is unfocused and spreads out in a wide even pattern of light expressly for the purpose of providing illumination of areas that are close by. Now you have two completely different patterns of light for whatever work needs to be done...a spotlight for locating the problem, and a floodlight for lighting up the area while the problem is being fixed. The ergonomic shape of the handle makes it easy to hold, and the flat-bottom design means it will stand up on virtually any flat surface. For additional hands-free options, the work light includes a Hook/Prop Stand. It can be used to hang the work light up, and then pointed to exactly where it's needed. When the light is laid on its side, the hook can act as a "prop" stand to point the light where it will do the best job. Powered by an integrated Nickel Metal Hydride battery, the spotlight will run for 24 hours, the floodlight for 6. This work light includes both an AC and a DC charger/power supply.
