Now let's revisit with novelist Laura Hilton, author of A Harvest of Hearts (Whitaker House, September 2011).
Laura Hilton, her husband, Steve, and their five children make their home in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. She is a pastor's wife, a stay-at-home mom and home-schools three of her children. Her two oldest children are homeschool graduates and are in college. Laura is also a breast cancer survivor.
Her publishing credits include Hot Chocolate and Shadows of the Past from Treble Heart Books; a devotional in a compilation from Zondervan; and the first book, Patchwork Dreams, in her Amish of Seymour series from Whitaker House released in April 2011, the second book, A Harvest of Hearts in September 2011, and Promised to Another in April 2012.
Laura has her business degree from Ozarka and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers. Laura is a professional book reviewer for the Christian market, with over a thousand book reviews published at various online review sites.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--I love snow, pine trees and ice-covered ponds.
--I have a wonderful Christmas Village that we display on our piano every Christmas season that my parents made out of ceramics.
--My favorite Christmas song is "The Carol of the Bells."
--My favorite Christmas treats are sugar cookies and white chocolate covered pretzels.
--We have a gingerbread house tradition in our house that we can't break.
Now I can't get "The Carol of the Bells" out of my mind. I'm glad you mentioned one I enjoy!
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of A Harvest of Hearts.
Matthew Yoder volunteered to be part of the swap of Amish men from his Old Order Pennsylvania Amish Community, to the Amish community in Seymour, Missouri. There is nothing for him in Pennsylvania, as the youngest of twelve children, and the lack of farmland around Lancaster County, he felt he could make a better future in another district.
Shanna Stoltzfus has been raised Amish, and couldn't wait for her rumspringa so she could pursue her education. She hated having to quit school in the 8th grade to stay home and learn everything that makes a home run smoothly. But now she has earned her GED and is taking college courses, but her family is begging her to come home; her little sisters miss her.
And there's something about newcomer, Matthew Yoder that draws her attention. But is it enough to give up her dreams of education and join the Amish church?
What is it about Shanna and Matthew that will make your readers care about them?
Shanna is outgoing, outspoken, and determined. Matthew is solid, stable, and devoted.
Many authors—including multi-published authors—have started taking their out-of-print books and even original books straight to e-books, which they've essentially self-published. What are your thoughts about the idea? Have you done it, or are you likely to?
No, I haven't done it and I don't think I'm likely to at this point anyway. I'm not sure I'm technology savvy enough to do something like that.
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
I have finished reading The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall. A nice Christmassy read and a sweet romance.
What are you working on now?
I'm working on the first book of a new Amish series.
Where else can readers find you online?

text: pretty interesting. very defiant. it will be interesting to see how everything pans out with this. one question that came to mind during it is that we went to Iraq because there were some supposed WMD's, nothing concrete, but we went there for that. But, then, for the past decade N Korea has been basically saying, "yeah, we have them and plan to use them. do something". And we don't. It gets the conspiracy theorist inside me going.

Candle in the (Digital) Wind
The Daily Pic: Ingo Maurer shows it's better to charge a single diode than curse the darkness.
This LED "candle" was designed by Moritz Waldemeyer, and recently released by the great German lighting designer Ingo Maurer. It's called "My New Flame", and it uses 128 LEDs and simple circuitry (left visible on the stem of the candle) to provide a moving image of a blowing flame that stands in beautifully for the real thing. The image registers, simultaneously, as both very crude and utterly credible, like a votive offering to our technological age.

I'm recruiting fellow rebels to work on a project called ViXEn with me.
ViXEn is a language for querying and manipulating XML documents and document sets. The name stands for "Verbose XML Expressions." ViXEn is geared toward XML users rather than developers. It is not meant to provide an all-purpose general expression language for XML processing. It is meant to provide functionality that addresses the most common use cases of simple XML processing from the perspective of a user.
It provides 20% the functionality of XQuery but addresses 80% of the requirements of real world XML users. It is based partially on the XUpdate and SiXDML specifications with generous inspiration from the AppleScript language.
When the rough draft is released, you'll notice that it abandons XPath as a node selection and filtering mechanism. I have found that XPath is too cryptic and ambiguous for most (non-technical) XML users. Other constructs that are happily missing include loops and parent axis traversal.
What's important to understand is that ViXEn is not an XQuery or XPath replacement. If you're a developer, and you use these languages, please continue to do so. If you're a casual XML user, and don't have the deep technical background that the people pushing specs at the W3C have, then ViXEn may just be for you.
I'll post more information to my web site as it becomes available. In the interim, feel free to contact me if you'd like more information, or if you'd like to participate.
First diary post!

OMG I need this so bad!!! I always keep my phone in my pocket at school, and you have no idea how often I forget to put vibrate on lol. Ya, I get busted a ton. And when I get home, I usually forget to turn silent off. I'm a little forgetful hahaha. This would make my life about 42 times better. Please: whether you do it for me or for my teachers and classmates, please let me win this giveaway?
Cydia# 1309240
Wow I have been waiting for something like this for so long, plus it has the ability to raise the Ringer even LOUDER!!! Now where talking. I need this for when my girl text me and I'm at work dang vibrate can't always hear it on my desk but a text sound for her would be great!
I would love to win this
Cydia #3304888
To use better custom tones per contact
To make better use of custom tone per call or MSG type
Use vibrations in a better way
Cause it is what tones should be like on ios
And cause I spent too much money this month lol
Why would this make my life better?
1. I have a lot of contacts and this would make notifications for each caller or texter easier to find out who it is
2. I love using jailbreak tweaks and i have all of @yiller's tweaks so far this will complete the collection
3. there are some unspeakables that i need to block on my phone from every calling me
4. i need to notify myself when my hot girl friend is calling me instead of me thinking its my mom
5. because i need it it to make my life better isnt this a good enough reason
Cydia #610676
Wow. I've been waiting on something like this. I could use this for sure.
1.) No more random calls in the middle of the night unless its from people I designate!
2.) No more missed texts from my family when I have my phone on silent in my pocket.
3.) No more accidentally putting my phone on silent in my pocket and missing calls and texts
4.) I can better manage ringtones for my friends, family and co-workers.
5.) Saves me a lot of time and effort when setting up ringtones and text tones.
This would make my life better by leaps and bounds. How you might ask?
1. It will allow me to more efficiently ignore my research leads when they want me to come in over the weekend. "Sorry, I guess my phone didn't just ring."
2. I can sort the priority of my calls. Mom: better answer that. Roomate: Sure. Brother: he can wait.
3. Setting my phone to automatically go silent during class is a tremendous boom since the new punishments the professors have implemented for a phone going off during class: interpretive dancing to your ringtone. And I don't have any rhythm.
4. Setting text tones by group can be a defensive measure. Ex-Girlfriend texting: Sound the sirens and go to DEFCON 3.
5. I seem to remember the word "nap" in the article. I can't remember in what context, but I assume that the app can cause hyper-napping, which I as an American approve.
Cydia Number: 13766
1 i wil now notice my girlfriend calls
2 easier in school
3 i can turn the most important ppl on sound when im at friends or family
4 i can more easy ignore unwanted calls
5 i can have silent mode on at night and still be able to hear my most important contacts call
As a pastor, I can think of plenty of reasons this app would be of great value...
- To keep my iPhone muted while preaching, since it sits on my pulpit as my clock/timer
- To mute all calls except my wife during emergency or hospital visits
- To selectively allow my staff to call me
- To allow for uninterupted sleep, except for allowing calls for anyone I think may need to contact me 24/7
- To send certain "troublesome" calls to be muted at all times.
- To allow specific calls to notify me with vibration, while muting all others so as to not be interupted unless necessary.
Uh, oh. I guess that's six. I could keep going, but that's just off the top of my head. This wouldn't just be "another app" - this will be a necessary app. My Cydia number is 151942
1) Telemarketers randomly call me in the middle of the night. I would love it if I could keep my ringer on, but only for important people in case of emergency (Family, Friends, etc)
2) At school, they are very strict about cellphone use, so I wouldn't need to pull my phone and risk getting in trouble each time my phone vibrates, I could, again, set it for only important people xD.
3) I have exams coming up, and I would love if I could completely mute my phone, instead of having to put my new 4S at the front of the class, and I am always scared about it getting stolen when I have to leave it at the front. D:
4) Sometimes I really don't feel like pulling out my phone to check who is texting/calling, but when my dad phones and I don't answer he gets mad, lol. So I would set a custom vibration for him so I know he is phoning, and I can be lazy for everyone else ;0.
5) I like to fall asleep while listening to very soft music, and I would love if I could silence my phone while I take a nap, and not get woken up by my loud ringtone (It's a metal song :P)

JACKSON – House Democrats will announce their "compromise plan" today to provide health care to 300,000 Mississippians, many of whom are the working poor.
They have been at odds with Republican Gov. Phil Bryant and the Republican-controlled House and Senate over expanding Medicaid to cover those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level or about $15,000 per year. The expansion is allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act.
According to information released Tuesday, the House Democrats' plan "represents an alternative to and a compromise on Medicaid expansion. It covers 300,000 Mississippians, through a private, market-based approach at no net cost to the state."
It appears Arkansas is being allowed to use funds that would have gone to expand Medicaid to instead allow people with no medical coverage to obtain private insurance.
The fight over expanding Medicaid resulted in the 2013 legislative session ending without Medicaid being funded or reauthorized for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1.
House Democrats blocked funding and reauthorizing, demanding a vote on the floor on expanding the program. House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, who opposes the expansion, blocked the expansion vote.
Gunn and the Republican leadership are currently asking the state Ethics Commission to issue opinions on whether six House Republicans actually have conflicts that would prevent them from voting on Medicaid issues. The six did not vote during the 2013 session because of possible conflicts. Without those votes, the Republicans lacked the numbers to fund or reauthorize the existing Medicaid program.
Rep. Mac Huddleston, R-Pontotoc, who did not vote during the 2013 session, said, he will vote "if the Ethics Commission tells me I can. I can tell you if the Ethics Commission says it will be unethical, I will not vote."
But Huddleston said he does not believe he has a conflict. He has not voted in the past because his wife is a doctor, though he said a small percentage of her patients are Medicaid recipients.
Rep. Margaret Ellis Rogers, R-New Albany, also said she would follow the advice of the Ethics Commission. Rogers has not been voting "out of an abundance of caution" because her father is a doctor.
Ethics Commission opinions are not binding, but provide public officials who follow them legal protection.
The commission is scheduled to meet June 14. It could rule then on the Ethics questions involving Rogers, Huddleston and other Republicans.
If the commission rules that some or all can vote, it might provide the Republicans enough votes to pass a Medicaid funding bill in a special session over Democrats' objections.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Though we are quite partial to our own Siren Festival on Coney Island and its ebullient combination of rock bands, corn dogs, and gleefully drunken ocean-bobbing, it's still the sordid little sister to All Tomorrow's Parties, the ultimate example of glorious rock-and-roll surrealism. Held at Kutsher's Country Club in Monticello, New York (the same Catskills camp that hosted some other gyratin' fools in Dirty Dancing), the three-day festival is an intimate occasion of a few thousand fans and a proudly esoteric mix; this September, guest curator Jim Jarmusch skewed happily toward noise, and the resulting lineup of Iggy and the Stooges, Sunn O))), Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, and Sleep was truly once-in-a-lifetime. ATP is the ultimate summer camp for the deranged, and musicians and fans roam the grounds and interact in various untoward ways. It is epic, and then some.
Naming someone "Best Young Playwright" is tricky in a city so full of ascribing scribblers. We suspect that the best young playwright in New York never even gets producedthat he or she is a genius that no one understands, and so he or she doesn't get staged. Of the talented under-30s whom we are lucky enough to hear from, though, there's one we've especially fallen for, a writer whose plays have a quiet, hypnotic charm, a grace and humor that have won over audiences the past few seasons. She's able to take ordinary, low-key situationsa small-town acting class, guys wasting time in an alley behind a cafeand fill them with gentle comedy, generosity of spirit, and an eye (and ear) for the foibles that make us all so hopelessly human. Can a writer be a titan of modesty? If so, Annie Baker might be well on her way. Last season, she won a dual Obie for her plays Circle Mirror Transformation and The Aliens. We doubt very much taht'll be her last trip up to an awards podium.
It's a profoundly odd place, Brooklyn Bowl, "posh bowling alley" being on the face of it a bizarre combination of words. And yet the Williamsburg spot is a beguiling mixture of low and slightly higher culture. Throw down on one of their 16 bowling lanes or just gawk at the enormous big-screen TVs looming above them; nonchalantly down a couple beers or luxuriate in a Blue Ribbon–provided full dinner menu including, allegedly, the most stupendous fried chicken ever fried. Oh, and, yes, there's music, too—a 600-capacity in-house venue booked by local powerhouse Bowery Presents that offers a fascinating mix of up-and-comers (rapper Yelawolf, indie rockers Real Estate), hip-hop celebs (Big Boi, Snoop Dogg, myriad ?uestlove DJ sets), and jam-band mainstays (Blues Traveler!). Embrace the absurdity and it's a great place to see a concert, actually, with plenty of distractions should you need any, and plenty of adventurous shows on the calendar.
Glance in passing at this high, tapering, steel-and-glass tower in Midtown and you'll think conference rooms, suits, and lobby art. What you wouldn't expect to find is a show like "Under Pain of Death," which, in 2008, presented Manfred Erjautz's life-size electric chair constructed entirely from Legos. The Austrian Cultural Forum offers a full slate of free concerts, readings, and film screenings, in addition to the always intriguing exhibitions mounted in its sleek, multi-tiered galleries. "NineteenEightyFour," a lively group show from this past spring, featured art from the U.S. and Europe, including Paul Laffoley's Cosmogenesis to Christogenesis, a concoction of vinyl type, collage, and ink that brought together the Shroud of Turin, spiral galaxies, and the "Atomic Nun." Here is a secret refuge for any diligent but income-challenged culture vulture.
It's yet another dismaying frigid January weekend, with no one with an ounce of good sense daring to stray more than 10 feet from the warming light of his or her flat-screen TV, and yet a small pocket of the Village is teeming with enthusiastic live-music fans, shuffling briskly but happily from (le) poisson rouge to Kenny's Castaways to Sullivan Hall to Zinc Bar and back again, all in the name of . . . jazz? Yes, this year's Winter Jazzfest was a smashing success. The six-year-old institution (begun at the old Knitting Factory) broke out in a big way in 2010, parading several dozen adventurous downtown-jazz luminaries (Darcy James Argue, Vijay Iyer, Mary Halvorson) over two nights in front of a couple thousand (!) adventurous fans, new and old. Aided mightily by ambitious promoter cabals like Search & Restore and Revive Da Live, the two-day fete has now inspired spin-offs like June's similarly packed Undead Jazzfest, but, hell, anyone can draw a crowd then. Nothing warms the heart quite like a winter-coat-bearing capacity crowd at Kenny's Castaways ready for a challenge, defying the odds simply by being there, listening.
Remember that kid you were always teasing in high school? That nerd, that spazz, that total and utter dork? Well, he's back. And fully weaponized. A drama group for that persecuted, comics-reading dweeb in us all, Vampire Cowboys has been cutting a swath through downtown for a couple of years now. What their plays lack in character development and philosophical nuance, they more than make up for in broadswords and throwing stars. Ten years ago, Ohio University students Qui Nguyen and Robert Ross Parker dreamed of a theater that would reflect their goober sensibilities. A decade later, it's a fake-blood-soaked reality. Their repertoire includes riffs on the classics, such as Living Dead in Denmark and Alice in Slasherland, as well as more unapologetically plotless pieces, such as Fight Girl Battle World. They also develop new violent works in their Saturday Night Saloon. With an Obie Award, laudatory reviews, and a rabid fan base, these nerds are getting all the revenge they need.

...the POTUS try to choke on his title of "Commander-in-Chief" in front of a batch of military students? I don't intend to be fed a batch of lies by "His Phonyness", so don't intend to view that "photo-op."
I pray for those of you with loved ones in the military. Thankfully, I no longer do. God bless you in harms way, still willing to carry out the mission. I apologize for allowing a government to be put in place that is tying your hands with those pathetic PC rules of engagement. It's my hope you can overcome all those handicaps.
Stay safe, and be assured there are MANY real Americans that support what you are doing...and NOT providing comfort for the enemy.

By Ben Levisohn
The drum beats, the bell rings, and the Dow loses 170 points. There may be more to the selling than an imminent attack on Syria, however.
The Dow Jones Industrials dropped 1.1% to 14,776, while the Standard & Poor's 500 fell 1.6% to 1,630.48. The Nasdaq Composite finished the day down 2.2% at 3,578.52.
While an escalation in Syria is widely considered to be the proximate cause of today's selling–and certainly had an impact, given the 2.9% gain in oil–there are plenty of other issues for investors to worry about. JPMorgan's David Hensley has the sum of all fears:
Political uncertainties are causing anxiety in markets, hurting risk assets. US Secretary of State Kerry made clear the US is preparing a potential military response to the apparent use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government. Separately, the US Treasury Department warned it would hit its borrowing limit in mid-October, sooner than expected. This is just a few weeks after Congress and the Administration need to reach an agreement over how to fund the government in the new fiscal year, which begins October 1. Our thinking is that officials will agree on a short-term extension of current funding levels to avoid a shutdown in October. The path to raising the debt ceiling is harder to anticipate. Of course, uncertainty about Fed policy and who will be the next Chairman remains in the background.
Gold benefited from the uncertainty today–the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) gained 1% to $137.74–but anyone who needed a reminder that gold stocks are still, well, stocks got one, as the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) plunged 4.3% to $29.10. New Gold (NGD) fell 5.2% to $7.43, while Newmont Mining (NEM) dropped 3.5% to $32.11. Gold miners generally get hit hard by rising oil prices, too.
There was little safety to be found. Just two Dow components finished higher–and just barely. Coca-Cola (KO) gained 0.1% to $38.15, while Verizon Communications (VZ) edged up 0.02% to $46.95.
The selling pressure didn't keep Movado (MOV) from moving higher, however. The company, which was the subject of Barron's Take today, gained 11% to $41.99 on better-than-forecast earnings.

Learn how to perform this task quickly and correctly - every time
The sizing requirements for pull boxes, junction boxes, handhole enclosures, and conduit bodies exist to prevent conductor insulation damage. Those requirements are in 314.28, and they apply to all conductors 4 AWG and larger (Fig. 1). To illustrate how these requirements prevent conductor insulation damage, let's consider two extremes in a straight pull situation.
Suppose you have a 2-inch raceway coming into a 10-inch square box, and a 2-inch raceway leaves it on the opposite side. If you're pulling several 1/0 AWG conductors through the box, how are you going to pull them through one side and into the other without bending them so much you damage the insulation? Answer: You're not.
Now, suppose you have those same two raceways mounted on a 4-foot box. Obviously, you have plenty of space, and you won't need to make severe bends in the conductors. Because you don't have the luxury of installing 4-foot boxes for every wire pull you do, you need to calculate the box size you really need.
The scenario we just discussed is a straight pull, one in which the conductor enters the box on one side and exits on the other — but not at an angle and not with any splices. It's a "straight-through" installation. The NEC addresses these separately from other types of pulls.
Straight pulls
Why would you install a pull box for a straight pull? Why break the raceway with a box at all? One reason is a very long conductor run; another is to restart the 360° bend limitation of the applicable raceway article. The pull box provides another lubrication point, plus it allows you to reduce the force needed to pull that run in the first place.
For straight pulls, 314.28(A)(1) requires that the length of the box be at least eight times the trade size of the largest raceway. To correctly apply 314.28(A)(1), just multiply the largest raceway size by eight. The box must be at least as long as that number.
Angle pulls, u-pulls, and splices
Of course, junction boxes are used for reasons other than simply making a straight pull easier. You may use a junction box to splice conductors, combine runs from multiple raceways into one raceway, split runs from one raceway into multiple raceways, or simply to change the direction of the raceways. In such situations, junction box sizing requirements are a bit more complicated. Start with the largest raceway size like you did in the straight pull, but also do the following:
Multiply the raceway size by six, rather than eight.
Add together the sizes of any other raceways on the same wall and row.
Add the results of step 1 and step 2.
The length of the box must be at least the number you came up with in step 3.
Where there are multiple rows of raceways, calculate each row individually. Then, use the row with the longest distance to determine your minimum box size (Fig. 2).
When conductors come into a junction box in one raceway and exit the box in another raceway (not a straight pull) of a different size, how much distance do you need between those raceways? You need six times the trade size of the larger raceway. Measure that distance from the nearest edge of one to the nearest edge the other — not center to center.
Removable covers
When conductors enter an enclosure with a removable cover (e.g., conduit body, handhole enclosure, or wireway), the distance from the removable cover to where the conductors enter must not be less than the bending distance listed in Table 312.6(A), based on one conductor per terminal.
Pull box sizing (Example 1)
Let's say a junction box contains two trade size 3 raceways on the left side and one trade size 3 raceway on the right side. The conductors from one of the trade size 3 raceways on the left wall are pulled through a trade size 3 raceway on the right wall (straight pull). The conductors from the other trade size 3 raceways on the left wall are pulled through a single trade size 3 raceway at the bottom of the pull box (angle pull). If it sounds confusing, draw it on paper.
You need to determine the correct horizontal dimension, vertical dimension, and spacing between the raceways containing the same conductors. If you follow the steps laid out in Sizing Steps, you'll find this easy to do.
What is the horizontal dimension of this box? See Fig. 3 on page 47.
Left to right straight pull 8 × 3 inches = 24 inches
Right to left straight pull 8 × 3 inches = 24 inches
Left to right angle pull (6 × 3 inches) + 3 inches = 21 inches
Right to left angle pull No calculation
Answer: 24 inches [314.28]
What is the vertical dimension of this box? See Fig. 4.
Top to bottom straight No calculation
Bottom to top straight No calculation
Top to bottom angle No calculation
Bottom to top angle 6 × 3 inches = 18 inches
Answer: 18 inches [314.28]
What is the minimum distance between the two trade size 3 raceways that contain the same conductors? See Fig. 5.
6 × 3 in. = 18 inches
Answer: 18 inches [314.28]
Pull box sizing (Example 2)
Let's say a pull box contains a trade size 2 and trade size 3 raceway on the left side, a trade size 3 raceway on the top, and a trade size 2 raceway on the right side. The trade size 2 raceways are a straight pull, and the trade size 3 raceways are an angle pull. Again, you have to determine three numbers, so you'll probably want to draw this on paper.
What is the horizontal dimension of the box?
Left to right straight pull 8 × 2 inches = 16 inches
Right to left straight pull 8 × 2 inches = 16 inches
Left to right angle pull (6 × 3 inches) + 2 inches = 20 inches
Right to left angle pull No calculation
Answer: 20 inches [314.28(A)(2)]
What is the vertical dimension of the box?
Top to bottom straight No calculation
Bottom to top straight No calculation
Top to bottom angle 6 × 3 inches = 18 inches
Bottom to top angle No calculation
Answer: 18 inches [314.28(A)(2)]
If the two trade size 3 raceways contain the same conductors, what is the minimum distance between these raceways?
6 × 3 inches = 18 inches
Answer: 18 inches [314.28(A)(2)]
Avoiding errors
How can you prevent junction box and handhole enclosure sizing errors on your electrical projects? One of the most common mistakes is to calculate for the wrong wall of the box. To avoid that particular mistake, draw out the problem so you can see what you're doing instead of having to juggle things around in your head.
Before your next project arrives with a deadline that's ridiculous — but must be met anyhow — become a junction box sizing whiz by practicing. If you don't have a previous job to use as practice, then create your own practice exercises. Use Examples 1 and 2 again, but just change the numbers. Each time you do one, you'll get a little faster. Then when you need to quickly and correctly size your junction boxes, you'll be completely up to speed.
Sidebar: Sizing Steps
Step 1: Always draw out the problem.
Step 2: Calculate the horizontal distance(s):
- Left to right straight calculation
- Right to left straight calculation
- Left to right angle or U pull calculation
- Right to left angle or U pull calculation
Step 3: Calculate the vertical distance(s):
- Top to bottom straight calculation
- Bottom to top straight calculation
- Top to bottom angle or U pull calculation
- Bottom to top angle or U pull calculation
Step 4: Calculate the distance between raceways enclosing the same conductors.

UTSA Baseball wins WAC Championship
GRAND PRAIRIE — No. 4 seed UTSA rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to seventh-seeded Dallas Baptist and the Roadrunners completed their perfect run to this week's Western Athletic Conference Tournament Championship on Sunday by a score of 11-4 at QuikTrip Park.
After the Patriots (30-30) scored two runs in the second, UTSA (35-23) needed three innings to tie things up, but it was all Birds from the fifth inning on.
The Roadrunners went on to plate two more runs in both the sixth and seventh and they put the game out of reach with a five-run eighth.
DBU scored a pair of runs in the ninth off Logan Onda, but, by then, it was too little, too late.
"It feels awesome," first-year head coach Jason Marshall said after the victory. "I'm very proud of our ball club. From the moment we set some goals down on paper this season, these guys believed in it and they played incredible baseball down the stretch. They are very unselfish and just doing whatever they can to win a baseball game. I'm just proud for the program, for the school and for the department."
UTSA pounded out 14 hits, including four for extra bases, and it was led by John Bormann, who went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs. Eight of the nine starters on offense had at least one knock with Horacio Correa III, Daniel Rockett, RJ Perucki and Mike Warren each adding a pair of safeties for the league's top hitting club.
Meanwhile, Brock Hartson (9-4) surrendered two runs (one earned) on just four hits in his 7.1 innings while starting on three days rest. The redshirt freshman right-hander walked a pair and struck out two in the 111-pitch (67 strikes) performance. Onda, who entered the game with the tying run on deck with one down in the eighth, earned his second save of the season.
The Roadrunners, who now have won their last seven games (10 of 11 overall), went a perfect 4-0 this week en route to their fifth conference title in program history. UTSA previously won four crowns as a member of the Southland Conference (2007-08 Regular Season/1994 & 2005 Tournament).
Six Roadrunners earned All-Tournament honors, led by Matt Sims who was named the event's Most Valuable Player. Bormann, Riley Good, Hartson and Perucki also were tabbed to the 11-player team.
The Roadrunners will learn their NCAA Regional destination and opening-round opponent when the complete 64-team field is announced at 11 a.m. (CT) on Monday on ESPNU. Watch party plans have not been finalized as of yet, but details will be posted on goUTSA.com later this evening or first thing Monday morning.

One year later: Saleem Shahzad's case is buried
On May 21 this year, a military court convicted three Pakistani naval officers of negligence and dereliction of duty for their actions during an attack on the main naval airbase in the heart of Karachi on May 22, 2011. After the incident had ended, the military said 10 security guards were killed, two aircraft were blown up, and the four men who carried out the attack were shot or blew themselves up after they had held out for 16 hours on the Mehran Naval Base.
Perhaps the best insider details about the raid came from Saleem Shahzad, a political reporter for Asia Online, in his article, "Al-Qaeda had warned of Pakistani strike," that ran two days before his abduction on May 29, 2011. He had written in the past about militant groups and the military, with a book, Inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, released just weeks before his murder. In his last article, he wrote about the Mehran events, reporting that armed forces personnel sympathetic to Al-Qaeda had helped coordinate the attack. On May 31 last year, his body was found floating face-down in an irrigation ditch.

So this is an old one. Its actually one of our very first tutorials. When we originally posted this (Original Tutorial Found Here) Beans was just four I think. She looks so little in the other post. She's grown up so much since we started this website.
This one I originally saw on So You Think You Can Dance (I think). I was fascinated and I remember trying to braid and add ribbon. DUH! Then the idea came to me to use a needle and add the ribbon last. I sure felt smart-lol. So now I've decided this one needed a video. Hope you enjoy it. Please remember we are trying to build up our YouTube page so I can choose my own thumbs to represent my work. THANKS for subscribing and helping me get there.

Good news, I'm not gonna work for the next 4 years I was still bidding jobs,but that's done. I'm going to collage. When I was young I was to busy working building a business, and trying to pay bills. Now since we've went socialist I'm quiting all together and going to school full time. Funny thing is I'll probably make half what I was makeing, but It'll be less to redistribute. I'm livin the dream. We were at around 200k, don't want to be there any more, to much work.
Can someone post the address to where I should foward my bills to, please!

WEST POINT - Army women's basketball held on to defeat the visiting University of Pennsylvania Quakers, 58-53, in a game which featured runs of 10-1, 9-0 and 16-2 and 11 lead changes. The Black Knights (3-1) captured their first home win of the season after shooting a season-high 38.2 percent from floor, led by a combined 30-point effort from a pair of Army post players in sophomore Olivia Schretzman and freshman Aimee Oertner.
Schretzman tallied a season-high 18 points, two shy of her career best, while Oertner snagged her third double-double with 12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Oertner's 12 caroms match her career best. She also added four blocked shots.
Army's stingy defense kept Penn's scoring in check through most of the first half. The Quakers (0-3), which came into the game averaging 58 points per game, hit the game's first field goal (17:40), but were held without another one until the 10:12 mark as the Black Knights went on a 10-1 run.
Army summoned up another run, this time an 11-2 streak to push its lead to 23-12 with 3:15 remaining. The Quakers responded with their strongest effort of the half, as Penn shrunk the Black Knights' lead to one (23-22) at the halftime buzzer.
Penn's run, which shrunk the Black Knights' first-half lead, carried into the second half after Kathleen Roche drained a three pointer 36 seconds into the second half as the Quakers took their first lead since 16:17 of the first half. Roche's trey was followed with one by Keiera Ray, as Penn's run built to 16-2 over a period of six minutes, 20 seconds.
Schretzman knotted the score, 28-28, at 16:27, before the lead changed hands seven times over the next six minutes. However, once Army grabbed the lead at 10:58 thanks to a layup by senior guard Anna Simmers, the Black Knights never relinquished it.
Army maxed its second-half lead at nine with 2:32 remaining off a made free throw by Simmers, but Penn did not go away quietly. The Quakers hit a pair of three in the final two minutes to come within three of the Black Knights, before freshman Kelsey Minato iced the game with a pair of free throws in the final seconds of the contest.
Penn's Kara Bonenberger, who put up 21 against Army a season ago, was held to one point and three fouls in the first half, before ending with just four points on 1-4 shooting. Ray finished with a game-high 21 points, while Alyssa Baron totaled 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Quakers.
"We really did some great things," said Army head coach Dave Magarity. "I think a big point in the game was when Penn went zone, we really showed great patience. Just having seen so much zone in our first three games, especially the last two games, really helped us play with a lot more poise. We didn't rush things and we really attacked their defense from the middle. Our post passing just gets better and better every game.
"It's important that our perimeter players know the importance of getting the ball down low," Magarity continued. "Everyone is keying on Simmers and Hazlett, and obviously Hazlett is still struggling, but she came up huge in the second half - she probably hit one of the biggest baskets of the game in the second half. Her passing and her rebounding was great. As for Simmers, even though her offense never really got on track, her defense against Alyssa Baron was critical. Baron is one of the best players we'll see all year - she never got in the flow of the game and I thought Simmers had everything to do with that."
The Black Knights will look to improve upon their blemish-free road record (2-0) in 2012-13 when they take a Thanksgiving Week trip to the Mountain West region. Army will face Weber State on Wednesday, before reigniting its academy rivalry at Air Force on Friday.

Big water change.
When I woke up this morning the water in my tank was really yellow, and I sort of paniced and changed all the water. Now I've tried to find some information on the net on way the water became yellow, and I've realised that changing all the water at once is not a very good idea...
How can I help my fish to survive this?
How long has it been since you changed water? If the fish manages the first 24 hours its a good chance they make it.
It isn't so much that you can do but dont feed the fish for a week.
Watch out for the aquarium and remove dead fish immediately.
Also watch for diseases and treat any diseases them immediately.

I have a book that contradicts what you read on the internet. The book says that doing large water changes is a good thing rather than just changing small amounts. It recommends doing large water changes at least once a week.20 GALLON lONG
8 Zebra Danios
5 White Cloud Mountain Minnows
5 Neon Tetras
5 Black Neon Tetras
5 Glow Light Tetras
2 Von Rio Tetras
2 Cherry Barbs
Smaller more frequent water exchanges are best regardless of what that book say (which book are you refering to?) but a small water exchange means maybe 25% of the water on or two time s a week. Changing more water is not recommendable unless necessary due to extrem circumstances (like the one above) since this can put a too large stress on your fish. This is especially true if you live in an area with water that are less suited for aquariums.
Rapid changes in water conditions put stress on the fish and damage their vitality hich is why changing a lot of water is not recommended as a rule of thumb. The rule can however vary dependent on the type of fish you keep, your aquarium size, and the water values where you live.

It went down again last week now its at $3.299...that of course happened AFTER I filled up.
It went down again last week now its at $3.299...that of course happened AFTER I filled up.
'Funny' that you say that because I heard on the radio a report that the average price in Wisconsin is on the verge of dipping under $3.00 for the first time in just over two years....now if you go back up and look at the price in my neck of Wisconsin.... sighhh.
$3.249 at Costco and Sams in Rancho Mirage (took a trip to hit up after-Christmas clearances, because that area has always been awesome on that front, but came up mostly empty-handed).
That's my jacket!
I got gas yesterday and roughly two hours later the price dropped (2 cents) to $3.219
Filled up this morning for a wonderful 3.74/gal. Up seven cents from last week. Missouri may be the "Show Me" state, but California is definitely the "Bend Over" state.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
First fill-up of the year (since I was a passenger during much of my winter break) at Costco, since the time I stopped by this week, they had a power outage that shut down the store and pumps. Cost me $3.43 a gallon, courtesy of a gift card.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
It's still always at least $70 to fill my gas tank.
I remember when it was $25 and I had an SUV then as well.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I have been filling up at QTs in Phoenix for under 3.00 a gallon lately. I was excited when the price went below 3.00.

In this second generation transmitter, we have added additional field selectable pressure ranges so that each model can have four selectable ranges along with four additional bidirectional ranges. When using the pluggable integral display or the portable remote display tool, both Metric and English engineering units can be selected via on board dip switches. Dual current and voltage outputs allow users to simultaneously take either a current or voltage output to their building controller and have a local test circuit for verification of the output reading. The voltage output can be selected to be either 0 to 5 VDC or 0 to 10 VDC, while the current is always 4 to 20 mA. Both the current and voltage output can also be inverted. The MS2 can also be ordered with either a BACnet or MODBUS Communications protocol output that will allow the transmitters to be daisy-chained together. Like the original Series MS, the second generation transmitter can be used as a linear pressure output or a linear velocity output with the square root extraction done in the transmitter. Additional parameters have been included to expand the square root capability to include flow measurements.

I have never posted in this forum before, so sorry if it is a little "off." I just wanted to know why there was never a Womens' MLB. there are leagues for women in many other sports.
If the answer is because, "women aren't strong enough", then couldn't diamonds be made with 75 feet to ach abse, or maybe 350 feet to center field to leave the park? I was just always curious.

I sent them a few $$$, so I'm putting my money where my beliefs are. Hope others will as well. The LAV is one of the conservative organizations I will support.
I sincerely hope the Governor, and all you conservatives in Wisconsin prevail in this fight for freedom. You are the fulcrum of the most important political battle to be waged in the USA in my lifetime. May the Good Lord give you his blessing in this endeavor.
An Urgent Message from Dick Morris and Our Sponsor the League of American Voters
Dear Reader:
Gov. Scott Walker is close to the finish line and victory -- but the battle is not over.
Despite a solid vote of 51-17 in the Wisconsin state assembly to defeat the bloated public employee unions, the state Senate can't vote because Democrats remain in hiding.
And Gov. Walker has warned of over 12, 000 layoffs of state workers if the the Senate does not pass his bill.
Clearly this week is showdown week!
But Gov. Walker is under fierce attack, and the big unions and President Obama's leftwing allies are pouring millions -- I mean millions! -- into Wisconsin to force Gov. Walker and the state Senate to cave.
There are some indications these leftwing efforts are paying off.
Here's what the New York Times reported Saturday: "Some Republican leaders in other states have moderated their talk against state employee unions in recent days."
This is why the League of American Voters efforts are so critical.
This is a battle of public opinion that will affect the final vote in the Wisconsin Senate.
The League is already at the forefront in Wisconsin exposing the lies of the public employee unions.
The League of American Voters is the lead group defending and supporting Gov. Scott Walker.
So, far the League has unleashed a barrage of radio ads across the state of Wisconsin demanding that legislators stand with Gov. Walker -- and reminding the public that taxpayers can't afford the big salaries and lavish pension benefits of public employees.
And just this weekend, the League is making a telephone call to hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin citizens revealing that Gov. Walker's plan will dramatically improve education standards, by allowing incompetent teachers to be fired, giving good teachers merit pay and allowing parents the right to school choice.
For the big unions this is Armageddon!
If they lose in once liberal Wisconsin, they can be defeated in almost every state in the union. And they know this!
This is why I am urging you to support the League's Wisconsin and national efforts to expose the big unions and defend Gov. Walker.
The League urgently needs your financial support to continue its campaign this week.
As you know, the League was one of the leading groups that fought Obamacare. It has been credited with defeating Obama's "public option" -- which, if passed, would have destroyed private health care completely.
And last year the League led the fight to renew the Bush Tax Cuts with a national TV campaign featuring former Sen. Fred Thompson.
The League won that battle too.
Now, they are fighting this critical battle to restore fiscal sanity to this nation and to defend a true American hero, Gov. Scott Walker.
Please stand with Gov. Walker and us today!
Thank you.
P.S. My sources tell me that the Democrats are planning a new wave of attacks on Gov. Walker this week. They are trying to stall a final vote, believing time is on their side. They think if they spend enough money on ads, they will win public support. That's why the League's work is so important and why they need your support right now.

The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, redeems partially destroyed or badly damaged currency as a free public service. Every year the U.S. Treasury handles approximately 30,000 claims and redeems mutilated currency valued at over $30 million. The Office of Financial Management/Mutilated Currency Division, located in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, uses experts to examine mutilated currency and will approve the issuance of a Treasury check for the value of the currency determined to be redeemable.
Here are a few interested facts that relate to the tarnished bill above...
Currency paper is composed of 25% linen and 75% cotton.
Red and blue synthetic fibers of various lengths are distributed evenly throughout the paper. Prior to World War I the fibers were made of silk.
Between the Fort Worth, Texas and the Washington, DC Facilities approximately 18 tons of ink per day are used.
During fiscal year (FY) 2008, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced approximately 38 million notes a day with a face value of approximately $629 million.
95% of the notes printed each year are used to replace notes already in, or taken out of circulation.
The approximate weight of a currency note, regardless of denomination is (1) one gram. There are 454 grams in one (1) U.S. pound, therefore, there should be 454 notes in (1) one pound(Avoirdupois system). If the troy system were used, there are (12) twelve ounces in (1) one pound; therefore, if one note weighs approximately (1) one gram, then (1) troy pound contains approximately 375 notes.
Have you ever wondered how many times you could fold a piece of currency before it would tear? About 4,000 double folds (first forward and then backwards) are required before a note will tear.
The average life span of a $1 bill is 21 months.

Human and canine exterminators fight nationwide wave of pests
By Elise Kaplan
The unmarked white building on Candelaria holds one bed and two dressers but no personal belongings suggesting a home. It's eerily devoid of picture frames, stuffed animals and clothes. A cooler sits on the beige tile floor, and Patriot Pest Control's newest employee bounds into the room to check it out. Captain Dale, the bedbug-detection dog, has one thing on his mind.
Creepy Crawlies
Author Amy Stewart on the lifestyles of the gross and deadly
By Summer Olsson
You're strolling barefoot down the beach when—what the?—you step on a furry mass that sends lightening bolts of pain shooting through your body. You look down to discover the culprit: a roiling blob of fuzzy caterpillars. That doesn't seem so bad, and after the pain subsides, you decide not to visit a doctor. You return home, but huge bruises begin to appear on your body. Instead of getting smaller, they get bigger. By the time you get to a hospital and doctors realize you've been stung by a certain type of poisonous Brazilian caterpillar―and order the special antivenin from South America―your kidneys shut down and your blood won't clot. Later that day, you die.
The X-terminator Files
Bedbugs hide in crevices and cracks until they venture out for a snack. Detection and eradication can be tricky because these little critters are hard to locate. David Erik Swanson from Patriot Pest Control just got a bedbug detection dog to ease the process (see "Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite"), but he says some infestations have been so bad he didn't need help finding them.
Ancient Flying Luck Machines: The Dragonfly Festival is neither creepy nor gross
By Summer Olsson
Dragonflies are thought to be good luck, symbols of happiness and springtime. But they have a sinister side, too, with nicknames of "eye-snatcher" or the "devil's darning needle." These winged beauties have had millions of years to develop their reputations on planet Earth. The ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden is once again unveiling their secrets at the Dragonfly Festival, buzzing with "discovery stations" where patrons can learn to identify species by color, size and wing color.

Officials break ground in Grand Rapids for state's first Bus Rapid Transit line
GRAND RAPIDS — Gov. Rick Snyder joined other state and local officials for a groundbreaking event Thursday for the state's first Bus Rapid Transit line. Construction on the first of 33 stations began last week for the $40 million Silver Line, which is expected to be ready for riders in August 2014.
The rapid transit line along Division Avenue in Grand Rapids is designed to travel as fast as a light rail system but at a fraction of the cost. It will feature prepaid fares, raised platforms, traffic-signal priority and semi-exclusive lanes during rush hour.
The project is primarily funded by the federal government but includes state money. Snyder said the Silver Line can be a model for other transit projects and planning across the state.
The federal government earlier this year committed $25 million to build a light rail line through the heart of Detroit. The rest of the $140 million tab for the 3.3-mile streetcar line along Woodward Avenue will be funded by a public-private partnership with significant donations from companies whose workers are commuting from revitalized neighborhoods to offices downtown.
Construction could begin later this year, with service starting in fall 2015.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I tried the SC15 Gamakatsu as well as a broad range of other hooks back when I worked at a fly shop. The tin plating was not as corrosion resistant as the TMC stainless and the material was fairly large diameter for it's strength compared to the quality alloy TMC uses. I found large diameter wire best fished with the barb intact (for obvious reasons) but prefer to use a hook that is effective barbless.
On the positive side, the 'drop-bend' design provides a wide gape and it's a sticky fish hookin' design, probably a great choice for saltwater tube flies and other down-riding point flies (deceivers etc). I wouldn't choose it for bonefish though, as most bonefish flies are meant to be fished point-up.
Mustad hooks had poor quality control, soft materials, required sharpening but were cheap. My bonefish flies tend to last a long time as long as I wash them in fresh water so I prefer to use very high quality hooks. Since those days new models have come out from Mustad which I have not checked out yet but hear good things.
I found the best overall balance of lightwire strength, factory sharpness, quality control and durability in the TMC 811s after that fling through the hook rack. Daichi taking a close second.
Consequently my striper techniques and bonefish techniques are very closely tied and the 811s gets my nod for both. However my conclusions were jaded by the flies and techniques I like to use, your results may vary.
S71S Mustad Signature hooks is the replacement. Take a look at the Gammi
CS 15 hooks and their bone fish hook in all black. Razor sharp out of the package and very light but strong hook. Try them and you'll like them. FishHawk
I am a TMC 811s man - never open up on the flats northern or tropical.
However I am jealous that you are opening up hooks on bonefish while I am at work... or wait you are at work! Now I am twice as jealous
Mustad C70S hooks
I find I'm bending Mustad C70S size 6 and 4 hooks on bonefish with 12# tippets. This doesn't happen to me with the old 34007 hooks.
I had thought the C70 was the replacement for ther 34007. Is it actually a lighter-weight hook? If so, what IS Mustyad's replacement for the 34007?

Appiah to present second talk in President's Lecture Series, Dec. 10
Posted December 5, 2003; 02:38 p.m.
Kwame Anthony Appiah , the Laurance Rockefeller University Professor of Philosophy and the University Center for Human Values, will present the second talk in this year's President's Lecture Series on Wednesday, Dec. 10.
He will speak on "The Ethics of Identity" at 4:30 p.m. in 101 Friend Center. The series was initiated by President Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines.
Appiah will explore the work of English philosopher John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), who believed that each of us should play the central part in planning and managing our own lives. This ideal of individuality "is essentially an idea in the ancient field of ethics, as Aristotle understood that term, because Aristotle meant by ethics something like 'normative reflection on the making of our lives,'" according to Appiah, who this fall is teaching a freshman seminar on "Individuality as an Ideal."
"Making a life requires not only attention to our obligations to other people (and, of course, to animals and, perhaps, various aspects of the natural world) but also the evaluation of projects -- among them friendship, marriage, career, vocation -- whose success or failure will determine whether our lives, taken as a whole, are successful," he said.
The third and final lecture in this year's series will be presented at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, by Marta Tienda , the Maurice During Professor in Demographic Studies and professor of sociology and public affairs. She will discuss her current research on demography, inequality and access to higher education.
The lectures will be Webcast live.
