Wilson Antonio Valdez (born May 20, 1978) is a Dominican Atlantic League shortstop for the York Revolution. Previously he was a Major League Baseball utility infielder.
Valdez was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Montreal Expos on February 4, 1997. He played on the Expos' Dominican League teams from 1997-1999 and then on various minor league Single-A teams for the Expos through 2001.
On March 29, 2002, he was claimed off waivers by the Florida Marlins and sent to the Marlins' Double-A team in Portland. He continued in the Marlins organization in 2003, playing with their Double-A team in Carolina and their Triple-A team in Albuquerque.
On June 17, 2004, while hitting .319 for Albuquerque, he was traded by the Marlins with cash to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for reliever Billy Koch. The White Sox promptly assigned him to their Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte where he hit .302 and earned his first major-league call-up in September of 2004 to the White Sox. On September 26, 2004, he hit his first career home run off Brian Anderson. In limited action he hit .233 for the Sox.
After the season, he was waived by the White Sox and claimed by the Seattle Mariners. He started the 2005 season as the starting shortstop for the Mariners. However, he hit only .198 and was traded to the San Diego Padres on June 9, 2005. After a stint with the Padres' Triple-A team in Portland, he returned to the major leagues with the Padres, hitting .231 in August as a utility player.
After the 2005 season, he was released by the Padres and signed to a minor league contract by the Kansas City Royals, who promptly traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers during spring training.
On April 29, 2007, he scored the game-winning run in a game against the San Diego Padres that lasted 17 innings. He spent the 2006 season with the Dodgers' Triple-A team, the Las Vegas 51s, where he hit .297 and stole 26 bases.
In 2007, a spring-training injury to the Dodgers' starting shortstop Rafael Furcal created an opening-day roster spot for Valdez and he got plenty of playing time early for the Dodgers. After a quick start, however, he quickly cooled and was returned to the 51s. On January 3, 2008, Valdez's contract was sold to the Kia Tigers of the Korean Baseball Organization. On June 9, he signed with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball.
In December 2008, Valdez signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Indians. On May 26, 2009, he was traded to the New York Mets and was added to the major league roster. On June 22, 2009, he was designated for assignment.
On November 25, 2009, Valdez signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies and was optioned to the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The Phillies selected his contract from the minors on April 14, 2010, as a reserve infielder, when Jimmy Rollins went on the disabled list. When backup Juan Castro was injured, Valdez became the Phillies' starting shortstop for a few weeks in the beginning of the season. On May 17, Rollins was activated from the disabled list (DL) and the Phillies designated Valdez for assignment, but re-activated him five days later when Rollins returned to the DL. In addition to playing shortstop, Valdez filled in at second base for Chase Utley while he was on the disabled list with a hand injury.
On July 29, in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Valdez hit a one-out, walk-off single to score Cody Ransom from second base and give the Phillies a 3-2 win.[1]
In 2010, Valdez set career highs in games, at bats, runs, hits, total bases, doubles, triples, home runs, runs batted in, bases on balls, intentional base on balls, strike outs, stolen bases, slugging percentage and on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS).
In a game started against the Cincinnati Reds on May 25, 2011, (which did not conclude until May 26), Valdez switched from second base to pitcher in the 19th inning, pitching one inning and allowing no runs. This was the first time he had ever pitched in a Major League game. When the Phillies won in the bottom of the 19th inning, he was credited with the win. Valdez thus became the first position player to earn a win since catcher Brent Mayne won a game for the Colorado Rockies in 2000, and just the second since 1968.[2][3] According to Elias Sports Bureau, Valdez was the first player to start a game in the field and end up as the winning pitcher since Babe Ruth did so on October 1, 1921.[4]
On January 25, 2012, Valdez was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for left handed pitcher Jeremy Horst. In 77 games with the Reds, Valdez hit .206/.236/.227 with 15 RBI and 3 SB. He made 44 starts, 27 at shortstop. On November 8, Valdez elected free agency.[5]
He signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants in December 2012.
On March 23, 2013, he signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins with an invitation to spring training.[6]
On May 25, 2013, he signed a contract with the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League.[7]
On February 21, 2014, he signed a contract with the York Revolution of the Atlantic League.

During investigation of cases registered post demo netisation, cybercrime officials suspect gangs were be hind collecting banking details of old debit cards of customers, especially those who had accounts with public sector banks.
"In the latest case, an Andhra Bank customer became the victim of a threemember gang, wherein one culprit fraudulently extracted the last four digits of the debit card, another took the PIN and the third person tapped the CVV number. Since the customer was in possession of a debit card, which did not have a chip and was issued prior to 2015, it was easy for the fraudsters to transfer money with the card details,'' Cyberabad assistant commissioner of police (cybercrime) Jayaram told TOI.
The old cards of many public sector banks were vulnerable unlike the cards with a chip since it would not generate one-time-password (OTP) a security feature.
"Many bank customers have not exchanged their old cards with chip-based ones.As a result, many were falling prey to online frauds.The old cards can be cloned and online transfer of cash to miscreants' accounts could be done. The victim customers' will know only when they get SIM alert about the deduction,'' the ACP said.

A wireless adaptor can be connected to a computer or networking router so multiple devices can communicate with each other or access the Internet. The fastest way to hook up a wireless adaptor to a computer is via an Ethernet cable connected to ports on the PC and the adaptor. An Ethernet cable resembles a standard landline telephone cable, only the plugs on each end are wider. Connecting the wireless adaptor to a PC takes less than a minute using an Ethernet cable.
Shut down the computer or laptop and disconnect the wireless adaptor from the power cord.
Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port on the back of the wireless adaptor along the base, with the locking tab on the plug turned upward. The plug will lock in the port with a click.
Connect the plug on the other end to any free Ethernet port on the computer.
Insert the DC power plug in the round electrical socket on the wireless adaptor, then connect the transformer on the other end to a wall outlet.
Check the connection by verifying the LED on the computer is illuminated next to the Ethernet port.
Most recent
- The wireless adaptor can be connected to a router in the same manner.
- Connect the wireless adaptor to the Ethernet cable before plugging the adaptor into the electricity.

If you are a boat enthusiast surely you want to have an attractive and unique boat in which you can use for a long time and in which you can be proud of.
However, boats are still created with the same outline up to these days, if you want a unique one then you can do it yourself or you can select simple designs for your sports fishing boat which will surely be useful for you. So when you ever have a plan to design for a boat that will be used for your sports fishing, you should consider some things before doing so.
Weight and Size
When you design for a boat even if how simple it is, you should first consider the size and the potential weight of the boat. Surely, you don't want to experience titanic by yourself. Starting with, you should assess the size of the boat, by doing this you should also ensure its capacity, how many people can get in and if it can battle waves whenever there would be a time that the weather is not to be friendly to go fishing.
The next thing you need to consider is the weight of the boat, when you go for sports or recreational fishing, you do not always expect to have a good weather and how many people might come with you during that time, so if you ever have a boat that's too light weight chances are whenever strong winds are coming for you, your boat will certainly end up sinking and destroyed and your passengers and even you yourself drowning in the middle of the sea.
Also, when you have a boat that's too heavy, if there are storms coming out of the way and you want to return to your previous course it might take some time and it will be hard for you to escape the storm that's chasing you so better think of the proper size and weight for best boat results.
Whenever you want to have a unique feature on your boat simply select the best hydrofoils. It is no question that hydrofoils increase speed and smoothness whenever you try for a ride on the sea, they also save your fuel and as well provide your boat with stability. Hydrofoils also provide zero resistance when the hull is out of the water.
Same with an airplane, hydrofoils act as a wing underwater for your boat they provide lift compared with the drag that the vessel creates, making the whole hull to be lifted out of the water and causing the hydrofoil to be left in the water with no worries of getting surface wave action.
Select the Right Hull
For a smooth and comfortable boat ride in the future, the best thing you can do is select the right hull for your boat basically because there a lot of them to choose from. However, the most recommended hull for all time is the "Deep V/ Vee Hull".
Why Deep V Hull? Deep V Hull gives a smoother ride even in rough water which is very suitable if you ever experience big waves, strong winds or even an upcoming storm. Instead of pounding into waves, deep v hulls cut clean through them that makes the boat ride smooth.

The first features Spark de Triomphe, a gold glitter, and White Shatter. The second features Rally Pretty Pink, a sunset-pink, and Red Shatter. As you may know, these shatter shades are designed to create a splintered effect on your nail. On that note, OPI has also created a series of new shatter polishes in shades of blue.

France collection and the new blue-hued shatter shades are available now at your nearest nail salon.


text: I'm trying to set individual ringtones for several people in my contact list. I've followed the instructions below: HOW TO ADD CUSTOM RINGTONES AND NOTIFICATION SOUNDS TO YOUR PHONE: 1. Connect the device to the computer with the USB cable 2. From the Droid home screen, pull down the Notification bar, located at the top of the screen (or you can also press the Menu Key on the front of your Droid and then select Notifications) 3. Select USB Connected 4. Select Mount 5. From your computer explore the 'Removable Disk' which is actually your SD card. 6. Create a folder called Media directly on your SD card, and then create these subfolders inside the Media folder so you should see this structure when browsing the SD card: Media/Audio (Located inside Media folder) Media/Notifications (Located inside Audio folder) Media/MP3s (Located inside Audio folder) Media/Ringtones (Located inside Audio folder) Media/Alarms (Located inside Audio folder) Then just drop your files into the appropriate folder, and assign your personalized ringtones to contacts, email, and the alarm clock. HOW TO ADD A CUSTOM RINGTONE TO A CONTACT: 1. Go to the Home Screen. 2. Touch Contacts. 3. Select the contact you want to add the ringtone to. 4. Touch the Menu Key. 5. Touch Options. 6. Touch Ringtone and select the desired ringtone. But when I go to the Options & Ringtone, all that shows up are the default ones. This morning, I went back in & copied the files to other folders. Now my file structure on the SD card is: Media Audio Media Notifications MP3s (this folder has MP3's I want to use as ringtones) Ringtones (this folder has MP3's I want to use as ringtones) Alarms Alarms Notifications MP3s (this folder has MP3's I want to use as ringtones) Ringtones (this folder has MP3's I want to use as ringtones) * in the above, all 4 folders that have MP3's have the same exact ones. Until I put the mp3's in the \Media\Audio\Media\MP3s folder & the \Media\Audio\Media\Ringtones folders, the ringtones never showed up. I want to have a single ringtone for my wife, something that nobody on my phone has. I follow the instructions above to change it only for her contact, but when I go in & look at her contact it shows correctly. When I go in & check it for the default ringtone for the whole phone, it shows that that same ringtone is the one for the entire phone. What am I doing wrong to not be able to select a specific ringtone for my wife & something else for varying other collections of people on my phone? S What am I doing wrong? S

SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is an infectious disease caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses, so named for the crown or halo surrounding them, usually cause mild illnesses such as the common cold. The coronavirus that causes SARS is more virulent, and was unknown until a worldwide outbreak of the disease in 2002–03.
How Does SARS Spread?
The SARS virus spreads in respiratory droplets from sneezes and coughs to people in close contact with an infected person. Close contact includes living with, looking after, or being in physical contact with an infected person. The virus may also spread in other ways that are not yet known. The incubation period, or length of time between exposure to the virus and signs of the first symptoms, is usually 2 to 7 days, but up to 14 days in some cases. SARS is thought to be contagious only once symptoms have begun.
What Are the Symptoms of SARS?The initial symptom of SARS is a high fever (>38ºC). Infected people may also experience a headache, muscular aches, shortness of breath, a dry cough, and diarrhea. Because the symptoms of SARS are common to other respiratory infections such as influenza, diagnosing SARS is difficult. A rapid diagnostic test is not available, so doctors assess possible cases for a combination of high fever, other symptoms, and chest X-rays showing respiratory distress that is consistent with SARS infection. There is no treatment specific for the SARS virus, but infected people are treated in the same way as patients with viral pneumonia. In some cases, SARS is fatal. Currently there is no cure or safe and effective vaccine for SARS, but scientists around the world, including in Canada, have tested antiviral drugs as possible treatments and have worked on developing a vaccine.
Global SARS Outbreak of 2002–03The first case of SARS was reported in China in November 2002. The virus then spread to over 20 countries, including Canada. The ease of global travel aided the rapid spread of this new infectious disease. Human-to-human spread of SARS was declared to have stopped in July 2003. During the outbreak period, from 1 November 2002 to 31 July 2003, 8,096 people were infected, 774 of whom died, according to the World Health Organization. In Canada, the outbreak began in March 2003 among people who had travelled to Hong Kong. During the outbreak, thousands of Canadians were quarantined and the World Health Organization issued a travel advisory for Toronto. In total, there were 438 probable cases of SARS in Canada, resulting in 44 deaths. In early 2004, China reported another SARS outbreak; it was contained without spreading outside the country.
The origin of the SARS virus is unclear. Scientists with the World Health Organization, however, have linked SARS with civet cats, members of the mongoose family that are a delicacy in parts of China and may be carriers of the SARS virus.

I just ended my week with mid-west outdoor writer, Ron Peach. We had a great time, shared tons of great outdoor stories and I learned a lot from Ron's expertise as a waterfowl hunter.
Ron climbing into one of my pit blinds in the Willamette Valley.
Down in the blind, my hunters all but disappear.
Ron doubled on Cacklers.
Ron's heavy load of Willamette Valley Mallard's and Cack's
Sunrise in the blind.
Cacklers are only about the size of a mallard.
One of the things I learned this week while hunting with Ron was the value of using the drake mallard call with a duck whistle. It was amazing how the birds responded to this call!
Thanks again Ron for a great week!

Shares of A123 Systems Inc. plunged to an all-time low on Tuesday after a class-action lawsuit added to the battery maker's woes. The suit stems from A123's March 26 announcement that it must spend about $55 million to replace battery modules and packs that might be defective.
THE SPARK: The law firm Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP filed the federal class-action lawsuit Monday on behalf of shareholders who bought the company's stock between Feb. 28, 2011 and March 23.
Pomerantz alleges that A123 withheld information about the defective products from shareholders. After the lawsuit was filed, other law firms sent out press releases soliciting plaintiffs to join the legal action.
A123 said in a statement Tuesday that it would not comment on pending litigation as a matter of policy.
THE BIG PICTURE: Many investors were already worried that A123 might not have enough money to cover the cost of replacing the batteries. Five customers — including Fisker Automotive, the company's biggest client — received parts that could have had defective cells.
The $55 million represents as much as one quarter of this year's projected revenue, which A123 has estimated between $230 million and $300 million. A shareholder lawsuit could add still more potential costs because of litigation expenses.
The company had said that it had "sufficient liquidity" to pay for the battery replacements, and has plans to raise money to cover the expense of replacing the batteries, although it has not specified how. A123 will update shareholders on how it expects to change its fund-raising strategy during the company's next quarterly earnings call, said spokesman Andy Chu. The company hasn't announced a date for the call.
A123, which went public in September 2009, has yet to turn a profit.
Chu also said that A123 is on schedule with its battery replacement program, has fixed the manufacturing problem that caused the defects, and has hired new managers to improve its operations.
THE ANALYSIS: "You sort of look at this and think: 'Maybe I don't want to be involved in this stock because there's nothing positive to it,'" said Wunderlich Securities analyst Theodore O'Neill. "People are just looking to get out before (the stock) goes to zero," he said.
O'Neill said investors are worried that any new fundraising action would likely hurt current shareholders. That's because A123 will likely have to sell a big ownership stake in the company to draw a significant investment, O'Neill said. That action could dilute the value of shares of current shareholders.
"We have demonstrated our ability to strengthen our liquidity through strategic partnerships, so we believe we will be successful in fulfilling any necessary funding required to continue the growth of the company," A123's Chu said.
O'Neill estimated that A123 would have to raise roughly $200 million to cover costs of the battery replacement initiative and to cover its losses for the rest of the year.
SHARES: Shares plunged 15 cents, or 15 percent, to 87 cents per share. They bottomed earlier at 85 cents, the lowest level since the company went public. The stock is down 55 percent this year, and has lost more than 90 percent of its value since its initial public stock offering, which priced it at $13.50.

EDINBURGH Zoo have confirmed that its giant female panda is no longer pregnant.
The zoo said there is no evidence Tian Tian - the UK's only female panda - has had a miscarriage, and that "late reabsorption of the foetus" could have taken place.
It said that all data gathered since the animal conceived in April suggested she was pregnant and likely carry to full term, but "sadly this did not happen".
The zoo said the panda is in great health, and is being monitored by experts.
Tian Tian was artificially inseminated on April 13 after she and her intended partner Yang Guang failed to mate naturally.
The zoo announced in August that she was thought to be pregnant and could give birth by the end of the month.
However, earlier this month, experts had raised fears over "bad news" regarding the pregnancy after Tian Tian had passed her due date and hormone tests suggested something could be amiss.
Iain Valentine, director of giant pandas for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "Tian Tian's hormone levels have now returned to normal, so we can confirm that she is no longer pregnant.
"Panda reproduction and biology is complex, all data gathered since conception took place pointed to a pregnant panda likely to carry to full term, sadly this did not happen.
"There is no evidence she has had a miscarriage, so late reabsorption of the foetus could have occurred.
"Although Tian Tian has not successfully given birth, it is important for her individual biology as a female giant panda and for the future of giant panda conservation across the globe that we tried.
"We will also be reviewing all our data and procedures from this year and last."
Tian Tian (Sweetie) and Yang Guang (Sunshine) are the first giant pandas to live in the UK for 17 years.
The animals, both aged 10, arrived on loan from China in December 2011 and will remain at Edinburgh Zoo for a decade.
Tian Tian was successfully inseminated last year but lost her cub at late term.
The attempt was the first artificial insemination procedure to take place on a giant panda in the UK.
She was again inseminated in April and the zoo confirmed in July that she had conceived but was not yet technically pregnant.
Experts said it would not be known for certain if she was pregnant until she gave birth.
The zoo said that the outdoor viewing area of Tian Tian and Yang Guang's enclosures will be open from today.

Cox Arena, Sunday, November 25, 7:30 p.m. 619-594-0429. $79.50 to $149.50.
If 1984 was the best Van Halen album ever, then Van Halen III had to be the worst. With Sammy Hagar gone, III featured vocals by temporary replacement Gary Cherone. Call it Van Halen Smooth; the material just wasn't there. Bassist Michael Anthony played on only three tracks; he and the brothers hadn't been getting along for some time. Hagar (who returned and then split again or was fired, depending on who tells the story) was recruited for the first tour of duty after Patty Smyth, singer in the one-hit band Scandal, wouldn't take the job. Had she signed on, one wonders how things might have gone for her and for the band. Smyth eventually married John McEnroe and continued to record and write. Hagar and Anthony bonded, went off on their own, and now perform as the Other Half, as in the Other Half of Van Halen. Eddie went to rehab, and his son Wolfgang joined the tour. Reads like a soap opera, doesn't it? And I haven't even mentioned David Lee Roth.
Diamond Dave fronted Van Halen almost from the beginning and essentially created the Van Halen brand. He was the face of Van Halen. For many fans, it was a hard day when animosity between him and Eddie forced the split. After Roth left (or was fired, depending on who tells the story), the new band became known as Van Hagar, such was the Red Rocker's influence. Roth-sung hits weren't forgotten in the years that followed, but the heavy influence went to the new Hagar-inspired material, supplanted in concert with stuff from Hagar's vast catalogue.
Still, and I mean no disrespect to Eddie's guitar, it was Roth's arena ham that defined Van Halen. This year he rejoins his old band, still minus Michael Anthony. Me? I'm not stingy with my Van H love. Hagar, Roth, I couldn't care less. They fronted two different groups, each of them the best rock band on the planet.
VAN HALEN, Cox Arena, Sunday, November 25, 7:30 p.m. 619-594-0429. $79.50 to $149.50.

Or, "Why to Keep Your Clothes."
Minimalism is in. Big time. And I am all for it! My family identifies me as a wanna-be minimalist. I talk the talk and pretend to cut back, but I will always be a maximalist at heart. I think it's genetic?
I've used the hanger trick. Haven't heard of it? You turn all of the hangers in your closet backwards. At the end of the season, any seasonal items that haven't been turned around go. I use this tactic with moderation. It has helped me pass on beloved dresses and shrunken shorts to my sister and friends, and has moved tees and sweaters that I just can't let go of back into my childhood bedroom (sorry mom!). I was looking at my closet and thinking about flipping those hangers again, but here's the deal…
I wear work clothes 5 days a week. When I am not in work clothes, I am usually in workout clothes or pajamas. Sometimes, once or twice a week, I put on "real people clothes." We talk about dual function, but as a teacher I am expected to dress up and dress conservatively, and frankly when I'm out of school and spending time with friends, I want to do anything but. I want to wear comfortable and flattering clothing.
When I'm teaching, I am moving around all day. I wear large, frumpy clothing so that I don't have to worry about everything staying in place. I sweat and spill coffee and escort sick children out of the room. That's why I'm wearing baggy sweaters that were on clearance at target. I would like to dress more like myself at work, but in my current environment I feel like I just can't do that.
The solution: invest in building my personal wardrobe for when I'm out. It is a small selection, and I repeat favorites throughout the whole season, and then some. So, I'm going to hold onto the little black dresses and bright high heels and delicate caftan because one day, on vacation or date night or at a special event or ceremony I will have the perfect excuse to wear it again. So I'm not going to get rid of those nice pieces, even if I haven't worn them in 6-12 months, and I will buy one or two more. I went to a special work function recently, where I did not have to adhere to uniform, and I threw on an old waffle knit sweater that I used to wear during ceramics class, and may still have patches of dried clay on the sleeves. It was the nicest looking casual top I could find in my closet this morning. (Yikes.)
So here is a call to hold on to those items that let your personality shine through, and make you feel comfortable and happy and like yourself. Because Friday-Sunday, we can get away from our work identity and rediscover the person that brought us there.

A 2015 study in JAMA sponsored by the U.S. National Eye Institute (NEI) reports the first major advancement in nearly four decades for treating proliferative diabetic retinopathy—the advanced stage of the diabetes-related eye disease.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood glucose levels damage small blood levels in the retina. Proliferative retinopathy, the most dangerous form of the disease, is caused by the growth of these new abnormal blood vessels that originate from the retina and that can rupture and bleed into the eye's center. The blood vessels can also cause the retina to detach from the back of the eye. In both cases, acute vision loss can result.
The gold standard of therapy is a laser treatment called panretinal, or scatter, photocoagulation, which cuts the risk of blindness by more than 50 percent. Potential side effects of laser therapy, though, include a significant loss of side, or peripheral, vision and decreased night vision.
In the NEI study, researchers compared the effects of laser therapy (one or more treatments) with three monthly intraocular injections, and as needed thereafter, of the drug ranibizumab (Lucentis). Patients ages 44 to 59 were evaluated two years after their treatment.
Researchers found that Lucentis improved vision better than laser therapy and carried little risk of peripheral vision loss. The researchers also noted that Lucentis might help prevent a complication of diabetic retinopathy called diabetic macular edema. Lucentis is already FDA-approved to treat macular edema. The study found that 28 percent of patients in the laser therapy group developed macular edema, compared with only 9 percent in the Lucentis group.
The researchers concluded that Lucentis might eventually be a viable alternative to laser therapy for patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. They'll continue following the patients in this study for a total of five years to assess longer-term outcomes.

Cell phones have become something of a universal villain in traffic accidents and similar incidents where the omniscient devices are blamed for distracting a person who should have been paying attention. Now, a lifeguard's use of a cell phone is blamed for a wrongful death at a DoubleTree Hotel.
The lawsuit has been filed by the father of an eight-year-old boy who died during a birthday party at the DoubleTree Hotel in Lancaster. According to the complaint, the boy was attending a birthday party for a friend. The guests were using the hotel's indoor pool and water playground when the incident occurred. The complaint alleges that the decedent and another boy climbed the ladder to the top of the water tube slide. The lifeguard said that they could only go down one at a time.
The first boy went down the slide without mishap. The complaint states that before the decedent reached the top and entered the tube, the lifeguard stepped away from her lifeguard post and was using her cell phone. The decedent then entered the tube and slid to the bottom. According to the complaint, the second boy bobbed on the surface in the deep end for approximately 90 seconds before he sank to the bottom of the pool. The complaint then alleges that the boy remained on the bottom of the pool for six minutes before the lifeguard saw him. Despite resuscitation attempts by emergency responders, the boy was pronounced dead at the Lancaster General Hospital. The complaint names the lifeguard, the owner of the hotel and the franchisee as defendants.
Anyone who has suffered a similar loss should consult the firm of Leisawitz Heller in Reading. One of the firm's attorneys can provide a helpful analysis of the law and facts that will decide the case and an estimate of the likelihood of recovering damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress and medical and funeral expenses.

James: Welcome to Star Gazers. I'm James Albury,
Director of the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium in Gainesville, Florida.
Dean: And I'm Dean Regas, Outreach Astronomer from the Cincinnati Observatory. We're both here to help you be sure you know what you're seeing in the night sky when you...
Both: Look up.
James: it's that time of year again when the night skies almost yell out, "spring is here!"
Dean: That's because when Orion is low lyin' and the lion is high flyin', winter is on its way out. Let's show you.
Dean: Now most of you know that the constellation Orion the Hunter is one of the easiest star patterns to find in the night sky. In fact, if you go outside in early evening during December, Orion will be climbing up the southeastern sky as a celestial announcement of the imminent arrival of winter.
James: And in January and February when winter is coldest, Orion reaches his highest point in the heavens, due south in early evening almost bragging to the world that he is master of the season. But then, Orion slowly leaves center stage in early evening and by the beginning of April is tipped over on his side in the southwest almost hanging on to the sky for dear life. And it's this placement of Orion in the southwestern sky in early evening that always tells us winter is soon coming to an end.
Dean: Yes, and although we're always sad to see Orion's bright stars go, nevertheless a less bright but much bigger constellation takes his place almost over head in early evening announcing that spring is here, the constellation Leo the Lion. If you go out any April night in early evening, you'll see Orion slowly sinking in the south west while Leo is crouched at the very roof of heaven roaring that his season, spring, is here.
James: Leo's easy to find. He's reclining in kind of a sphinx position. His head and forequarters marked by a backward question mark or sickle, with the bright star Regulus marking his heart. The triangle of stars to the east marks his rear.
Dean: In ancient times, lions were often associated with royalty and Leo's brightest star Regulus means "the little king" although you will sometimes still hear Regulus called "Cor Leonis" which means, "The Lion's Heart." Regulus is only about 1/2 a degree away from the ecliptic, so you'll often see the Moon pass quite close to it. And, occasionally, the Moon will briefly occult it, hiding it from view.
James: And the planets occasionally move very close to Regulus. In fact, on July 7th, 1959, an extremely rare event occurred when Regulus was actually occulted by Venus as Venus passed in front of it, an event which won't happen again for several centuries.
Dean: Regulus is about 85 light years away, which means that we see it not as it looks now, but how it looked 85 years ago. So if you're 85 years old when you look at Regulus you actually see the light that left it the year you were born.
James: And thank heavens it's that far away because it's 5 times the diameter of our Sun and 160 times brighter! This means that if Regulus were as close to us as our Sun, we'd all be crispy critters.
Dean: Toasty! Let's see what the planets are doing this week.
Dean: O.K., we have our skies set up for an hour after sunset any
night this week. If you look to the west, you'll see the two brightest planets in the sky, Venus and Jupiter. On Monday, March 26th a super skinny crescent moon.
James: If you pay close attention to Venus over the next few nights, you can watch it glide silently closer and closer to the Seven Daughters of Atlas, the Pleiades. The exciting part happens next week on April 2nd and 3rd.
Dean: That's right James, because Venus is going to be in just the right position that we'll see her pass extremely close to the Pleiades. It should look spectacular, especially in a pair of binoculars or a small telescope.
James: Yes sir. And while you're outside, look high in the eastern sky for the red planet Mars. It's just to the left and a little below Regulus.
Dean: And if you go outside shortly before midnight, when Mars is at its highest, you'll see the ringed planet Saturn, high in the southeast, forming a triangle with Arcturus and Spica.
James: So get outside after sunset for low lyin' Orion and the high flyin' lion.
Dean: Two sure signs that winter's goin' and spring is here.
Both: Keep looking up!

James: Dean, it's that time of year again when the night skies almost yell out, "spring is here!"
Dean: Yep, that's because when Orion is low
lyin' and the lion is high flyin', winter is on its way out. Let's
show you.
Dean: Now most of you know that Orion the Hunter is the best celestial sign that winter is here. But by early April, Orion slowly leaves center stage and is tipped over on his side in the southwest, almost hanging on to the sky for dear life. And it's this early evening placement of Orion in the southwestern sky that tells us winter is coming to an end.
James: Meanwhile, as Orion is leaving the sky, Leo the lion is crouched at the very roof of heaven roaring that his season, spring, is here.
Dean: While you're outside watching Orion and Leo, check out Venus this week. Every night Venus will be inching closer and closer to the Pleiades, until it passes super-close to them on April 2nd and 3rd.
James: And if you go outside shortly before midnight, you'll see Mars high in the south, and over in the southeast, you'll see the ringed planet Saturn, forming a triangle with Arcturus and Spica.
Both: Keep looking up!

SPFx – Troubleshooting phyton2 error
Last month, I had to reinstall my laptop because of disk failure. Today, when I try to compile my SPFx (SharePoint Framework) project, I encounter "phyton2" not found exception. In fact, when I read the exception it was thrown by gyp npm component. This component apparently requires phyton to be installed . I can not find anywhere in SPFx documentation, the instruction to install phyton - although this will be triggered by the tooling. According to the gyp documentation, the solution is simple.
- Open cmd using elevated privileged
- Run "npm install –global –production windows-build-tools"

Living a healthy life is so much about the choices we make, the people we surround ourselves with, the passions and activities we pursue, and of course the boundaries we establish along the way which make it possible to live our best life. If boundaries are so significant, then why are they so challenging to have and maintain?
Why is setting healthy boundaries so difficult?
What do we do when our boundaries have become blurred or even non-existent?
How do we start setting healthy boundaries?
Let's first discuss boundaries, as we generally know of them, for a minute.
When we think of a boundary, we can see a border, state line, territory, etc. We also may think of the lanes on the street when we drive, as those lines remind us where our vehicle boundary should be. Our homes are divided into boundary lines of property ownership, or even if we rent, we have a certain amount of space that is designated for our use.
If we want to travel to one area, we have to physically cross the border to get there, right? If we want to switch lanes or make a turn, we have to cross over the line, correct? We live in our own homes and we do not attempt to live in our neighbor's home because of boundaries, right? The opposite is true for these sort of boundaries as well: if we want to stay within an area, we do not cross the border. While driving, if we do not want to make a turn, then we stay in our lane. If we want to talk to our neighbor, we go over and knock on their door…
So, these examples may seem very simple, because these boundaries have been predetermined for us. In many cases, boundaries are imposed upon us instead of our input being included in the original establishment of the boundary. This often happens to us with our personal boundaries as well…but we will talk about that later.
Now let's imagine our personal boundaries. We have imaginary "lines" and "territory" that are invisible to others, so we have to orally and physically establish their presence. Our boundaries should correlate closely to our personal values, and our values should be priorities in our lives.
Boundaries will mean nothing to us or those around us if we do not tie them to our value system, because if choose not to, then we will not do the work to maintain those boundaries when challenged.
Here is an example: If you value work, family, and your personal time, you have to set up appropriate boundaries around each. One of your work boundary lines may be: NO working on evening and weekends so that you can spend time with family. One of your family boundaries may be: everyone eats dinner at the table with no cell phones in use. A boundary around your personal time may look like: I will take one Saturday per month, away from work and family, to focus on myself and my hobbies. These are all examples, but I am sure you get the idea.
The obstacles many of us face when setting up and maintaining our boundaries are often easier to fix than we believe them to be:
- We never establish our boundaries in the first place.
- We expect other people to magically "know" our boundaries.
- We confuse boundaries with limits.
- We do not stand firm on our boundaries.
- We have set our boundaries, but do not consistently maintain them.
If we just go about our typical day without believing that boundaries are necessary, we will face the circumstances of a life with no boundaries. We will often feel exhausted, frustrated, irritated, and confused because we live in absence of boundaries. People are able to pull us in various directions because we always say YES, our goals become stagnate because we do not carve out time to focus and complete them, and we may feel generally unsuccessful in life because we are so scattered ourselves, going from one thing to the next without any guideposts: our boundaries.
It is easy to confuse boundaries with limits too, and this is another major obstacle. A limit is designed to place a threshold on something, like a maximum about of time, or the point when an item is full or empty, and a limit can also be a restriction. Unlike a limit, a personal boundary is a reminder for us for where our "lines" are, and what we will and will not do according to these lines. A boundary does not mean that we necessarily have a restriction on doing something (although this could very well be part of the boundary), but it does means that our priorities and values do not line up with that action right now.
There is no point in establishing boundaries if you waver when they must be enforced. If you are determined to keep a healthy work-life balance, and not working weekends is your boundary, then you have to stand firm on that. While the occasional weekend of work may not compromise your boundary too much, beginning to work most weekends will. Before you know it, your weekend boundary is non-existent as you have wavered away from your personal value, life balance, and goals. Be sure to set realistic boundaries and do your best to stand firm on them.
We cannot be afraid to state our boundaries. Nobody has a magic wand that will just provide them with all of your boundaries and personal values, so you have to develop the confidence to live your life the way you see fit. Let your NO be no, and your YES be yes, period. Further explanation and details are not always required. Boundaries should be established to help you live your best, and a balanced life, and they will not always be aligned with the desires of others. This is ok.
If we fail to establish boundaries, they will be determined for us.
A final consideration is that when we neglect to set up boundaries for living a healthy and balanced life, this neglect then becomes the boundary. We will then live a life without borders, expectations, lines, or even standards. Our goals will be diminished, our joy and peace will be compromised, and we may be taken advantage of in many ways. We will become known for being the person who never says, "NO"or they always say, "YES." Our character is also questioned because our boundaries are connected to our integrity and personal values. But most of all, we will not live our best life, as we are unable to even begin constructing what this looks like in our minds or actions.
Take a deeper look at how you exist in your daily life. It is time to locate the obstacles preventing you from having and maintaining healthy life boundaries. The longer you wait to complete this assessment, the harder it becomes to establish boundaries.
Do not continue to live your life without those fine lines…

Appendix E, security, describes the use of the PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE table
<<Various Oracle products use PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE, a table in the SYSTEM account, to provide product-level security that supplements the user-level security provided by the SQL GRANT and REVOKE commands and user roles.
DBAs can use PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE to disable certain SQL and SQL*Plus commands in the SQL*Plus environment on a per-user basis. SQL*Plus--not Oracle--enforces this security. DBAs can even restrict access to the GRANT, REVOKE, and SET ROLE commands to control users' ability to change their database privileges.
SQL*Plus reads restrictions from PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE when a user logs in to SQL*Plus and maintains those restrictions for the duration of the session. Changes to PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE will only take effect the next time the affected users log in to SQL*Plus.>>

Kamnik is a medieval town with two castles, a monastery and a colourful street lined with artisan workshops. The town is inextricably linked with the Velika Planina plateau and its shepherding tradition. It is only a few minutes away from the largest Slovenian arboretum and the Terme Snovik spa, the spa nearest to the capital.
I regard it as an immense privilege to live in Kamnik. This city embodies foreigners' fantasies of what Alpine life could be.
Ljubljana & Central Slovenia
Kamnik hides within its depths a true love story, as shepherds used to give trnič, a cheese typical of Velika Planina, to their sweethearts as a present and a token of love and fidelity.
TOP experiences
Experience the shepherding tradition at Velika Planina or in the valley. Explore the town's streets and its green surroundings on foot or by bike, and treat yourself to relaxing thermal pampering after all of the activities.

A tranquil site near the Kamniška Bistrica river is home to a shepherding settlement with modern wooden houses, the Slovenia Eco Resort. Spend the night in a family house or try out glamping for couples. Unwind in the swimming pond and private Finnish sauna. Pick home-grown vegetables in the self-sufficient garden. The mini farm lets children get to know the indigenous animals of Slovenia, as well as the typical life of a shepherd.More
Kamnik – heaven for cyclists
Diverse terrain, cycling trails for children and the most challenging recreational cycling trial are but a few reasons why you should visit Kamnik on bike. Ride a city bike to the Volčji Potok Arboretum, a road bike towards the spring of Kamniška Bistrica, or ascend towards Velika Planina on a mountain bike.More
Recharge your batteries
Take a break from your hectic daily routine and take some time for yourself. The holistic health centre at the Tunjice Natural Healing Resort is great for anyone wishing to improve their well-being or restore/preserve their physical and mental balance.

Green facts
Slovenia is writing its green story. Feel it at every turn.
Velika Planina is one of the rare preserved Alpine herding settlements in Europe, where herders take their cattle every year.
The healing resort at Tunjice features a spring of living water, which has been scientifically studied and tested. Living water maintains optimum energy in your body.
Trnič cheese
Trnič is a type of pear-shaped hard cheese made of cottage cheese, cream and salt, embellished with special ornaments. Shepherds made trnič mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Each shepherd had his own pattern, a small wooden board with carvings, which he used to decorate the cheese. The gift of trnič was intended to delight the girls of Kamnik who were in love. Today, you can use trnič to treat your nearest and dearest. Make a delicious ice cream with trnič.

Verses including the word Fuel
And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true. (Surah Al-Baqara, 23)
But if ye cannot- and of a surety ye cannot- then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject Faith. (Surah Al-Baqara, 24)
Those who reject Faith,- neither their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them aught against Allah.They are themselves but fuel for the Fire. (Surah Al-Imran, 10)
Verily ye, (unbelievers), and the (false) gods that ye worship besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! to it will ye (surely) come! (Surah Al-Anbiya, 98)
O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded. (Surah At-Tahrim, 6)

Enrile for President!
Posted by unpublishedjournal on July 3, 2009
Thank you, Senator Juan Ponce Enrile. If not for your tantrums after your pre-paid load suddenly disappeared the National Telecommunications Commission will not even lift a finger to act in favor of text-crazed Filipinos.
I think we should start texting each other and campaign for Enrile's nomination for president either of the opposition or the administration.
The NTC, according to Commissioner Ruel Canobas, is set to sign today (Friday) the new rules on extension of prepaid load.
"At 10 a.m. Friday, we will sign the memorandum circular [MC] on prepaid-load guidelines. The signing of the three other draft MCs that we are working on will be deferred pending the submission of position papers by the telcos on Monday," said Canobas.
The new memorandum said the validity of a P10-or-less load credit is valid for up to three days; up to seven days for P10-20 load; up to 10 days for P20-30 load; up to 14 days for P30-40 load; up to 17 days for P40-P50 load; 20 days for P50-60 load; up to 24 days for P60-70 load; up to 21 days for P70-80 load; up to 30 days for P80-90 load; up to 45 days for P100-150 load; up to 60 days for P150-200 load; up to 90 days for P200-300 load; up to 150 days for P300-600 load; and up to 180 days for P600 to P1,000 load.
Smart, Globe, Sun, and other mobile-phone operators shall provide their subscribers call-data records upon request free of charge. Balance-inquiry service through text messages is definitely free of charge.
"Pursuant to Republic Act 7925, Executive Order 546 series of 1979, and in order to protect and promote the interest of subscribers/end-users of prepaid services, the NTC promulgates the following guidelines," the memo said.
Enrile called the telcos in a marathon hearing to inquire on the "vanishing load" on his mobile phone.
Another pro-consumer circulars are up for approval by the NTC, added Canobas, who could well be Enrile's tandem as vice presidential candidate.
The three proposed changes involve the shift of the unit of billing for cellular calls from per-minute to three-second per pulse, grouping of bucket pricing promotions and prohibiting spam messages. -30-
