CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Eight Miami Hurricanes student-athletes will be honored prior to Saturday's home baseball game against St. John's. Awards include male and female scholar athlete, male and female community service awards, most outstanding athletes and underclassman scholar of the year.
The 2012-13 University of Miami Athletics Department student-athlete awardwinners are: baseball's AJ Salcines (Male Scholar Athlete), volleyball's Nrithya Sundararaman (Female Scholar Athlete), football's Mike James (Male Community Service Award), women's basketball's Maria Brown (Female Community Service Award), men's basketball's Shane Larkin (Male Most Outstanding Athlete), women's basketball's Morgan Stroman (Female Most Outstanding Athlete), track's Bassim El-Sabawi (Male Underclassman Scholar of the Year) and swimming's Kara McCormick (Female Underclassman Scholar of the Year).
AJ Salcines was named Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, serving as a key reliever out of the Hurricanes' bullpen and a key contributor in the classroom. The junior biology major with a double minor in chemistry and sports medicine, who earned All-ACC Academic recognition in 2012, leads the team in appearances (22), and ranks first among bullpen regulars in a number of categories, including innings (25.0) and strikeouts (25). Salcines was named Team MVP in 2012, and has provided the Hurricanes with consistency on the field and off in his third season for head coach Jim Morris and his staff.
Nrithya Sundararaman was named the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and headlined the 2012 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Volleyball team. A neurobiology major, Sundararaman is the seventh Miami student-athlete across all sports to earn ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors and is the second straight Hurricane in volleyball. The Naperville, Ill., native graduated a semester early with Magna Cum Laude honors and was named to the Capital One Academic All-American Second Team. On the court, Sundararaman led the ACC in assists with 10.72 per set and finished her career third in program history with 2,358. She earned honorable mention AVCA All-America, All-ACC, and AVCA All-Region honors.
Mike James, a sixth-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in the 2013 NFL Draft, contributed countless hours to supporting community service organizations in the Miami community, including volunteering for Empowered Youth, an organization providing mentoring to at-risk youth, serving as a project manager for the 2012 University of Miami Bone Marrow Drive and serving meals to the homeless with the Miami Rescue Mission. James has also been involved with The Ronald McDonald House, Rushing the Community and Canes on Patrol. One of 11 FBS players named to the 2012 AFCA Allstate Good Works Team in September, he was the recipient of the Community Service Man of the Year, Captain's Award, Melching Leadership Award and Jack Harding Team MVP at the team's end-of-season banquet. The Haines City, Fla., product concluded his career with 1,386 rushing yards and 17 scores, while catching 67 passes for 585 yards and five TDs.
On the court, Maria Brown helped the Canes reach the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive season. Off of it, she saw an opportunity to make a difference for all kids. She became part of the YES Institute Community Speaker's Bureau, a unique opportunity where she became trained to share her unique experiences of gender and orientation, opening the hearts and inspiring others to take action. Brown has shared about how bullying, gender and orientation have touched their lives in some way. The mission of YES Institute is to prevent suicide and ensure the healthy development of all youth through powerful communication and education on gender and orientation.
Shane Larkin played a key role in Miami's historic season, helping the Canes win the ACC regular season title and ACC tournament, both firsts for the program. Miami earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament and made a run to the Sweet 16. Larkin led the Canes in scoring (14.5 ppg), points (522), assists (164), steals (71) and 3-point percentage (40.6%). He was listed as a Second Team All-America (AP, NABC, ESPN), John Wooden All-America, Third Team All-America (Sporting News), Lute Olson All-America, Lefty Driesell Defensive All-American and named to the USBWA All-District IV Team. Larkin was ACC Player of the Year (Coaches, Sports Illustrated, ESPN), All-ACC First Team (ASCMA, Coaches, ESPN) and All-ACC Defensive Team (ASCMA, Coaches). He was named ACC Tournament MVP and ACC All-Tournament First Team after leading the Canes to the championship while averaging 23.7 ppg over the three-game stretch.
Morgan Stroman came to Miami as a McDonald's All-American and has surpassed every expectation since her arrival. She earned Academic All-ACC honors as a freshman, was an All-ACC performer as a sophomore and was on her way to earning that distinction as a junior before an Achilles' injury cut her season short. After intense rehab, she has come back her senior season as a captain and better than ever, even earning first team All-ACC honors. In her four years here, she has recorded 24 double-doubles and ranks among the program's all-time best players in points, rebounds and blocks. Her 1,371 career points rank 12th all-time at Miami and her on the court energy has helped this year's senior class to 97 career wins – the second best total in school history.
Kara McCormack was selected Underclassman Scholar of the Year after another shining season off the diving board and in the classroom. The mathematics major, who was selected to her second straight All-ACC Academic Team this past spring, boasts a 3.98 GPA through her first four semesters as a student-athlete. McCormack, the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Diver of the Year, was named an All-American after a sixth-place finish in the platform finals at the 2013 NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis. She also won her first ACC Championship in 2013, capturing the gold medal in the platform finals while taking bronze in the 1-meter event.
Bassim El-Sabawi was named Academic All-ACC in indoor track for the second consecutive year. El-Sabawi ran his best 60m time of the indoor season, 6.99 seconds, at the ACC Indoor Championships. The San Diego, Calif., native also competed in the 200m for Miami, posting a season-best 22.29 at the New Mexico Classic. This outdoor season, El-Sabawi has competed in the 100m and 200m, as well as on Miami's relay teams. A chemistry major, El-Sabawi has earned a 3.958 GPA while being a major contributor for the Hurricanes track and field program.

AC Milan simply do not lose to English clubs at home. Not until Tuesday night, anyway.
Arsenal's masterclass in Milan was marvellous. When you consider that on 12 previous occasions the Rossoneri had avoided defeat against English opposition at Stadia Giuseppe Meazza , the Gunners' achievement seems all the more impressive.
Their 2-0 victory completed an illustrious hat-trick for Arsenal following two other famous firsts on foreign soil.
In 1980, the Gunners became the first English club to win at Juventus. After an ill-tempered 1-1 draw in the first leg of their European Cup Winners' Cup Semi-Final at Highbury, Terry Neill took his charges to the Stadio Communale. With the scores deadlocked and time running out, Neill went for broke and threw on 18-year-old striker, Paul Vaessen. Two minutes from time, the gamble paid off. Graham Rix went on a mazy dribble into the box, pulled the ball back, and Vaessen guided a header past Dino Zoff. Arsenal were through to the Final, a match they lost on penalties against Valencia. As for Vaessen, that goal in Turin proved to be the highlight of his career. He tragically died in August 2001, aged just 39.

The second of Arsenal's prestigious treble came in 2006. The location was the Santiago Bernabeu and home to Real Madrid. The much-fancied Spanish outfit boasted a wealth of world stars while Arsenal, with a crippling injury list, were struggling to find top-gear on the domestic front.
However, with Thierry Henry in their ranks, anything was possible. A virtuoso goal from the Frenchman two minutes after the interval was enough to secure a famous victory. Cesc Fabregas fed Henry in the centre circle and the striker held off Ronaldo, skipped past Alvaro Mejia and Guti before racing into the area and muscling past Sergio Ramos. He planted an angled shot past Casillas and into the far corner of the net. It was stunning even by Henry's high standards.
Fifteen days later a 0-0 draw in the second leg at Highbury saw Arsenal into the last eight of the Champions League.

looks gorgeous chantelle!
looks gorgeous chantelle!
Good job Chantelle!!!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Very cute little tree Chantelle.
'I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!' Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. 'The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!' (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
Chantelle, its the first time ever, I see Christmas tree and garlands in bathroom!!
I think, its lovely!! How have you hanged garland on the tub??
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
it's really nice I like how a lot of people are decorating bathroom as well
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.

Citation: Lietze, V., Keesling, J.E., Lee, J.A., Vallejo, C.R., Geden, C.J., Boucias, D.G. 2013. Muscavirus (MdHV) disease dynamics in house fly populations – how is this virus transmitted and has it potential as a biological control agent? Journal of Invertebrate Pathology. 112(1):S40-S43. Interpretive Summary: House flies are important pests associated with animals and humans and transmit a wide array of disease organisms. Efforts to manage flies have traditionally relied on chemical insecticides, but flies have become resistant to most insecticides and there is increasing public demand to reduce pesticide use around animals that are used in the production of meat, milk and eggs. Most biological control research on flies has concentrated on targeting fly pupae with parasitic wasps. In recent years a promising new biological control agent for adult flies has been discovered, salivary gland hypertrophy virus (SGHV). Female flies infected with the virus do not produce any eggs, and infected males do not compete well with healthy males. In this paper, scientists and mathematicians from the University of Florida and USDA/ARS's Center for Medical Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology examine the known transmission mechanisms for the virus and propose a mathematical model of transmission. The model predicts that male combativeness may result in wounding that makes male flies more susceptible to contact infection with the virus. If this hypothesis is proven to be true it may lead to new virus formulations that incorporate abrasive agents that would wound the fly's exoskeleton cuticle to enhance infection.
Technical Abstract: The newly classified family Hytrosaviridae comprises several double-stranded DNA viruses that have been isolated from various dipteran species. These viruses cause characteristic salivary gland hypertrophy and suppress gonad development in their hosts. One member, Muscavirus or MdHV, exclusively infects adult house flies (Musca domestica) and, owing to its massive reproduction in and release from the salivary glands, is believed to be transmitted orally among feeding flies. However, results from recent experiments suggest that additional transmission routes likely are involved in the maintenance of MdHV in field populations of its host. Firstly, several hours before newly emerged feral flies begin feeding activities, the fully formed peritrophic matrix (PM) constitutes an effective barrier against oral infection. Secondly, flies are highly susceptible to topical virus treatments and intrahemocoelic injections. Thirdly, disease transmission is higher when flies are maintained in groups with infected conspecifics than when flies have access to virus-contaminated food. We hypothesize that interactions between flies may lead to cuticular damage, thereby opening an avenue to viral particles for direct invasion of the hemocoel. Based on our current knowledge, two options seem plausible for developing Muscavirus as a sterilizing agent to control house fly populations: The virus may either be formulated with PM-disrupting materials to facilitate oral infection from a feeding bait system, or amended with abrasive materials to enhance infection through a damaged cuticle after topical aerosol applications.

When you think about heating and cooling your home, do your thoughts turn to money and engery efficiency? The more efficient heating and cooling systems are, the less they cost to run. That means your utility bills can be lower. Energy efficiency is good for the environment, too.
Before you invest in a new system, ask about the EnergyGuide label — it lets you know how energy efficient a model is compared to others like it. Products that meet certain energy efficiency criteria will have the ENERGY STAR logo. If you want to increase the efficiency of your system but you're not in the market to replace it, consider a professional or do-it-yourself home energy assessment. It can show you how specific fixes — like sealing air leaks or beefing up insulation — could help you save money and boost efficiency.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by DarrellH, Jan 17, 2013.
Fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice - pay me 350 mill.
"Money can't buy me love"
She's a damn fool if she goes back to him...
He still has an extra $200M + $350M to give her in a prenup? Wow, that's some chunk of change.
Run, Elin, RUN!!!!
This "news" originates with the National Enquirer, fyi.
Dear Elin,
The correct answer is "oh, hell no!"
Just trying to help.
Dear Tiger,
I'm available, willing and will definitely say 'yes' for only 1/4 of that 200 millions.
(Call me .... maybe?)
This is crazy!
But a rich damn fool.
What baffles is me is how insanely gorgeous she is and the list of horseface sluts that he cheated on her with? Dude must have been on crack. She's absolutely stunning, if I was a straight man, I'd be all over that! I hope Elin laughs in his face.
Dear Tiger,
I can beat the above offer for only 1/10 of that 200 million. And, you can have all the bimbos on the side that you want. Of course, we'd have to live in a state that allows gay marriage.
You can't have steak every night!
Can't believe Tiger would want to give away that much of his money. Why not keep it and just freely have sex with whomever? As long as he's Tiger Woods, I'm sure there will be many willing without him having to spend that much $$.
And we all know a beautiful face keeps you warm at night.
Regardless of how he feels about her, I imagine wanting to be with his kids has something to do with wanting Elin back.
So many men have proven so many times that looks really don't make a whole lot of difference that I never understand why such questions are asked.
He only has to give away the money if he cheats. Maybe he thinks the therapy worked and he won't cheat. Most people do come to a point in their lives where relationships are about more than just sex.
He might love her and miss her.
Or he might want to have his children with him full time and this is the best way to go about doing it.
Or he might think that marrying her again would get his mojo back, since his game has pretty much sucked since the breakup.
Or maybe he thinks this will restore all that he lost in the scandal.
Or it could all be just another day in the imagination of a National Enquirer reporter.
Does a happy marriage require monogamy?
Only she can answer that question.
Lots of guys cheat, and try to get their family back together again after some soulsearching - most just don't have 200 mill to add to the pot.
Most men go back to cheating too - afaik cheating usually don't have anything to do with the partner you are with, but more with your own state of mind, just look at Morozov.
It is really only her who knows if it is worth it. Maybe she wants the kids to be with their dad too, and maybe she thinks he has changed. She probably doesn't need the money to live a comfortable lifestyle.
I thought she answered it when she filed for divorce but you never know.
Seriously. She's only a fool if there's no money involved, but many women and men make that exact decision - to go back to a cheating partner with only a promise. At least she said, "Show me the money!"
Wouldn't surprise me.
Halle Berry was cheated on. That must mean the rest of us have no hope and can only expect to come home to an STD-riddled husband.
I think I am going to be sick.
You can feed a man steak every night at home, and he might still sneak out for a Big Mac.
If there's any truth to this, it sounds like he's trying to make it a win/win for her, were she to go into it with her eyes open.
If his cheating lying weasel self is involved, it's not a win for anyone....(except maybe the lawyers writing the pre-nup)
Sheesh, that sure sounds like a relationship based on mutual love and respect and adoration, lol. It's just so bizarre. He's basically asking her to marry him for his money, eh?
Fox News is reporting off a story from the tabloid National Enquirers. I wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion that the story is true.
He only has to pay her if he cheats, so.....no?
Looks sometimes have very little to do with cheating in many cases. Halle Berry is gorgeous but she has SERIOUS issues with men and relationships.
Seriously tho, why would she even think of going back to him? Even if she looooves him, can she really go back to a guy who's slept with, what, 20 other women? And heavens, she's worth over 100 million without Tiger. Once you're worth that much, haven't you reached the ultimate in standard of living?
And for him, too?!?! She allegedly beat him pretty seriously with a golf club. Something awful went down the night of his car crash. I appreciate he feels guilty, but this is not a healthy relationship.

The last-second heroics were set up first when Air Force tied the game with just 68 seconds remaining, scoring short-handed with the goalie pulled. Tony Thomas redirected the puck into the back of the net off a shot from the point to tie the contest at three.
The Griffs, however, were able to take advantage on the ensuing power play. In the dying seconds of the third period, sophomore Mitch McCrank fired a shot from the blue line. The puck deflected off the stick of sophomore Cody Freeman in the high slot and went to Gibbons on the wing. The junior then fired it in on the open net for the game-winning tally with just 9.1 seconds left, scoring his team-best 17th goal of the season.
"Two big power-play goals in the third period were the difference tonight," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "Our team showed great maturity and resolve to keep striking and getting the one-goal advantage each time, limiting Air Force's momentum."
Junior Patrick Sullivan led the Griffs with two goals in the win, while junior Ryan Bohrer also scored for Canisius in the victory.
Junior Tony Capobianco stopped 40 shots for Canisius, improving to a perfect 3-0 in his postseason career.
Bohrer gave the Griffs the early lead, netting his fifth goal of the season 11:57 into the contest. Freshman Stephen Miller forced a turnover in the neutral zone, allowing sophomore Carl Larsson and Bohrer to skate in on a 2-on-1. Larsson gave the puck to Bohrer on the wing and the junior returned it with a nice pass over the stick of the Air Force defender. Larsson skated in on a 1-on-1 but the Falcon netminder made the initial save. Bohrer was there, however, to knock in the rebound for the only tally of the first period.
The Falcons knotted the game with 13:24 remaining in the second frame, scoring on a rebound of their own. Off a 3-on-2 rush, Kyle De Laurell found the loose puck in front and knocked it in for the 1-1 score.
Less than three minutes later, Sullivan gave the Griffs back their lead. Sophomore Doug Jessey sent a pass toward the goal from the blue line. Sullivan gathered the pass and snuck the puck past the Air Force goalie near-post for the 2-1 lead. Senior Ben Parker also recorded an assist on Sullivan's sixth goal of the season at the 9:11 mark of the second stanza.
Air Force once again answered the Canisius tally, scoring with 5:15 remaining in the second. After a Canisius turnover in the neutral zone, Stephen Carew, gained possession of the puck, skated it into the Griffs zone and around a Canisius defender and beat Capobianco from right in front of net, knotting the contest at two.
Sullivan was then credited with his second goal of the game to give the Griffs a 3-2 advantage with 12:04 remaining in regulation. On the power play, McCrank fired a shot toward goal from the blue line that Sullivan blocked right in front of the goal. With the puck then loose right in front, an Air Force defender knocked it in to give Canisius the late lead.
The teams then battled through the dramatic swings of momentum in the game's final 68 seconds, ending with Gibbons' tally to give Canisius a 1-0 lead in the best 2-of-3 series.
Air Force finished the game with a 43-26 advantage in shots on the night, including a 16-6 edge in the game's final frame. Canisius won the special teams battle, going 2-for-3 on the power play and killing both Air Force extra-man advantages.
Canisius now looks to advance in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament with one more victory over the Falcons. The Griffs have their first opportunity tomorrow night in Colorado with game time slated for 9:05 p.m. ET.
Game Notes: Canisius last won five-straight games from Jan. 9 to Jan. 21, 2001 ... The win ended a 10-game winless streak for the Griffs against Air Force (Falcons were 5-0-5 in the last 10 versus Canisius) ... Gibbons and Freeman have both recorded at least one point in the last six games ... Sullivan was credited with the power-play goal due to being the last offensive player to touch the puck ... Sullivan scored two goals in a game for the second time in his career (also against RIT on Nov. 10, 2011) ... It also marks the 13th time that a Canisius player scored two goals in a Division I postseason game.

User:Zzo38/Proposal for more-notation
From HaskellWiki
|Line 149:
|Line 149:
** NamedOrder Name
** NamedOrder Name
** NumericOrder Int
** NumericOrder Int
Revision as of 20:29, 3 September 2011
This document is proposal for more-notation in Haskell.
1 Syntax
Anywhere that a more-notation is allowed (see Uses), you can use the syntax:
- more [(name_of_enumeration)] more_name {parameters}
- name_of_enumeration: A name of any type which is an enumeration. It can be another one using more-notation, but it must be able to fully determine it before this more-notation can be fully determined.
- more_name: A capitalized name. It uses the same namespace as constructors, so you are not allowed to have a constructor of the same name (although it is OK to have types of the that name).
- parameters: Optional lowercased names. These names are in local scope, and may already exist in this scope, although they do not have to.
A more-declaration is a module-level declaration of this syntax:
- [ numeric_literal | (enumeration_constructor) ] more_name {parameters} = contents { | contents } ;
- numeric_literal: It should be a natural number. Omitted is the same as zero. This number is called the "order" of the declaration.
- enumeration_constructor: A constructor of the enumeration that was specified in the more-notation. If an enumeration is specified, the enumeration constructor is required here. This number is called the "order" of the declaration.
- parameters: Lowercased names which will be scoped locally to this declaration. The number of parameters must match the number of parameters specified in the more-notation. An unused parameter can be replaced by an underscore.
- contents: The contents depends on where the more-notation is.
2 Semantics
In the place where the more-notation is, all contents of more-declarations of that name will be reordered and corrected before being placed in place of the more-notation.
Automatic reordering is overridden by the enumeration constructors or numeric literals in front of more-declarations.
3 Uses
3.1 Do-blocks
A statement in a do-block may be replaced by a more-notation. Semantics of more-declarations becomes as follows:
- Multiple statements in a single more-declaration stay in that order and consecutive.
x = (2 *); main = do { x <- return 21; more Doing x; print x; }; Doing a = a <- return $ x a;
x = (2 *); main = do { x <- return 21; x <- return $ Main.x x; print x; -- results in 42 (the answer to life, the universe, and everything) };
3.2 Case alternatives
An alternative for a case block may be replaced by a more-notation. Semantics of more-declarations becomes as follows:
- Cases within an order are reordered so that the most specific ones come first.
X = (_, False, True) -> 1; X = (True, True, True) -> 2; X = _ -> 3; X = (False, True, True) -> 4; y x = case x of { more X; };
y x = case x of { (True, True, True) -> 2; (False, True, True) -> 4; (_, False, True) -> 1; _ -> 3; };
3.3 Case guards
Cases can have guards and case alternatives in more-declarations can also have guards that use more-notation. There is no guarantee to the order except:
- Guards listed in a single more-declaration keep that order.
- Duplicate guards are removed.
- Duplicate guard conditions that to not have matching result expressions are errors.
- You can list guard conditions without the result values; these cause the order to be forced if such guard conditions exist, but does not create them if they do not exist.
y x = case x of { more Cases; }; Cases = (a, b) | more X a b; X a b = a > 5 -> b; X a b = a < 5 -> a; X a b = a == 5 -> 0;
3.4 Datatype declarations
A constructor definition in a data declaration is allowed to be replaced by a more-notation. Semantics of more-declarations becomes as follows:
- Duplicate constructors are removed.
- Duplicate constructors that do not match are errors.
- Multiple constructors in a single more-declaration are guaranteed to keep the order given.
data T = Zero | more T deriving (Eq); T = Two | Three | Four; T = One | Two;
data T = Zero | One | Two | Three | Four deriving (Eq);
3.5 Fields in record syntax
A field in either a data type declaration or in a value construction or update syntax can be replaced by more-notation. Semantics of more-declarations becomes as follows:
- Duplicate fields are removed.
- Duplicate fields that do not match are errors.
- A more-declaration can specify both the type and the value. Types are only used in data type declarations and values only in the other places.
data Abc = Abc { name_of :: String, more AbcField }; makeAbc :: Abc; makeAbc = Abc { name_of = "", more AbcField }; AbcField = age_of :: Int = 0; AbcField = existing :: Bool = True;
data Abc = Abc { name_of :: String, age_of :: Int, existing :: Bool }; makeAbc :: Abc; makeAbc = Abc { name_of = "", age_of = 0, existing = True };
3.6 Lists
A list item can be replaced by a more-notation. Semantics of more-declarations becomes as follows:
- Multiple items in a single more-declaration stay in that order and consecutive.
k :: [String]; k = [more K]; 1 K = "One"; 5 K = "Five"; 3 K = "Three"; K = "Zero";
k :: [String]; k = ["Zero", "One", "Three", "Five"];
4 Combining with Template Haskell
4.1 Uses in quotations
4.2 Manipulation in splices
4.3 Types and constructors
* Dec ** MoreCaseD Name MoreOrder [Name] [Match] ** MoreDataD Name MoreOrder [Name] [Con] ** MoreDoD Name MoreOrder [Name] [Stmt] ** MoreListD Name MoreOrder [Name] [Exp] ** MoreRecD Name MoreOrder [Name] [MoreField] * Info ** MoreI Int MoreMode Name [Dec] * MoreField = (Name, Maybe StrictType, Maybe Exp) * MoreMode ** MoreCase ** MoreData ** MoreDo ** MoreList ** MoreRec Bool Bool * MoreOrder ** NoOrder ** NamedOrder Name ** NumericOrder Int

Mobile Homes and The Law (Eviction, Leases and More)
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA)
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
- Contents
- Information Download - PDF Version
I'm renting a lot for my mobile home. What are my rights?
If you are renting a lot in a mobile homepark or community, the Texas Manufactured Home Tenancies Act has a long list of requirements that park managers must obey, including:
• providing an initial lease term of at least 6 months;
• providing written rules for the community that you must follow as a condition of the lease,
• providing a minimum of 60 days' notice of nonrenewal, regardless of the length of your lease term.
• providing a written receipt for all cash rental payments,
• disclosing the names of the owners of the park,
• prohibiting retaliation against park tenants for complaining about health and safety hazards to authorities.
Can I be evicted from my lot?
Yes, if you violate the terms of your lease (such as nonpayment of rent)or the community rules that are part of your lease. You have 10 days from date you receive written notice of the violation to correct the problem or pay what you owe. If you don't pay what is due or correct the violation within 10 days, your landlord may give you written notice to vacate. If you don't vacate by the deadline in the notice, your landlord can file a lawsuit to evict you.
I've received a notice of eviction (or foreclosure). What next?
Whether you rent or own, your lenderor landlord has to file a lawsuit before you can be evicted. You are entitled to at least 3 days' notice to vacate. The date in the notice to vacate is not the date you will be kicked out. You can't be forced to move until a judge issues a writ of possession and it has been served on you by a sheriff's deputy. If you receive notice of eviction or foreclosure, consult with a lawyer immediately to avoid missing critical deadlines.
What is the HUD label number?
The HUD number is the federal Housing and Urban DevelopmentNumber that identifies a manufactured home. This number should be on a 2 inch by 4 inch red and silver metal plate that should be attached to the rear of the home – on the opposite side from the towing hitch. The HUD label number is three letters followed by seven numbers. If you cannot find this label, look for a "Data Plate" that should indicate the HUD label number and is usually affixed to a wall or door, in the main electric panel box, in the master bedroom closet, in the laundry area, or in the kitchen. This number is critical in obtaining legal help.
How can I find out who holds the title to a manufactured home?
The person whose name appearson the Statement of Ownership and Location, or SOL, is the legal owner of a manufactured home. The SOL is registered with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs - Manufactured Housing Division (TDHCA-MHD). To check registration and ownership, go to the TDHCA-MHD website, http://www. tdhca.state.tx.us/mh/index.htm. Enter the HUD label number into the "Home Ownership Records" to see the "Certificate Detail". This record will tell you the name of the owner, the name of the lender that lent money for the purchase of the home, a list of outstanding taxes, and whether the home was elected as personal property or real estate. If the SOL is not in your name, you do not have legal title to the home.
What laws control the sale of a manufactured home?
The Texas Manufactured Housing StandardsAct has a long list of requirements that dealers and sales agents must obey in selling manufactured homes. These requirements include:
• providing a long list of disclosures about the home and the sales transaction,
• requiring the transfer of title with a Statement of Ownership and Location (SOL),
• requiring several specific warranties and
• prohibiting deceptive practices in the sale of homes, and many others.

Thread: Big Al: ESCALATE
Big Al: ESCALATE
That's Al Sharpton's answer in the Trayvon Martin case if his alleged shooter isn't charged soon. In this country you're still innocent until proven guilty but not when it's an interracial shooting and a minority is the victim.
I'm surprised no one has posted this here. Guess we've been consumed with the SC all week but it's big on all the boards. There's trouble all over the country because Martin who wore a hood was shot by a white guy who suspected him of something.
Even OBY got in on the outcry saying if he had a son he would be like Trayvon Martin. How does he even know what Martin was really like.
Zimmerman hasn't been charged yet because of difficult circumstances in the case. He's pleading self defense and said he was thrown on the ground and has
head injuries and a broken nose. Martin's body was found face down on the ground instead of on his back so that supports it. Plus there are supposed to be witnesses.
The guv appointed a special prosecutor but black leaders want Zimmerman's ass now. Even the Black Panthers offered a $1M bounty of him and his parents have been threated. Spike Lee, the black movie producer, tweeted his parents address and made it known and now they fear for their lives.
The Rev Jessie Jackson has also condemned Florida officials for dragging their feet.
There could be riots causing millions in damages if Zimmerman isn't charged soon.
Throw in all he major news stations like MSNBC that have also called for riots.
The shooting is a trajedy of a black man wearing a hood but there's more to the case than meets the eye. The facts aren't all in yet.

Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
Oh the Reverend Al Charlatan. Could you imagine if a host from Fox was out there saying this and then goes back to Fox to report on themselves?
Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
All we really know at this point is what the 9-11 recording clearly presents. It clearly presents an individual who is told by dispatchers to not follow another individual who at that moment in time, has done wrong except walk around. Just seconds later, the individual who was told to back off, shoots the other individual and kills him. Based on that evidence, Zimmerman should be charged.
Here is a cool memorial to Travon in Baltimore:
Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
Even O'Reilly said we have a grave responsibility to report the truth and get it right.
Galen's liberal NBC flat out lied about the case and made it look like Zimmerman is at fault by doctoring part of the tape like here.
If one compares the NBC version with the original transcript, it appears the channel jettisoned Zimmerman's real explanation on why he thought Martin looked suspicious, and also got rid of the dispatcher's question.
More at EndtheLie.com - http://EndtheLie.com/2012/03/31/the-...#ixzz1qk8w4nkW
Typical libs. Anyone remember Rathergate's lie about W on Galen's liberal CBS. He was fired.
If the guy's guilty he'll be charged and prosecuted and deserves the max. Until then, everyone needs to STFU and let justice take its course.
Did Galen say something?

Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
Finally some sense of decency. The NAACP condemns Al.
Turner Clayton, the Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP, reacted immediately to Sharpton's warning, saying, "We hope that the citizens of Sanford will govern themselves accordingly. We are not calling for any sanctions, against any business or anyone else. And, of course, what Rev. Sharpton does, that's strictly the [National] Action Network. We can't condone that part of the conversation, if that's what he said."

Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
Spike Lee settles (compensates) Zimmerman's parents for forcing them out
of their home. He also gives a heart felt apology but only after he was pressurized
by New Media outlets and the elderly couple's lawyer
Still, all is well that ends well.
Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
I think we all have opinions about this case, but I am not going to share mine because the whole story isn't out there yet.
Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
As the thread's title implies, I'm concerned about the bad reporting and trouble the networks and celebrities are stirring up.
NBC is launching it's own investigation of the TODAY SHOW for editing out the truth as posted
NBC told the Washington Post that it has launched an internal investigation of the "Today" show's editorial process after its morning show aired an edited conversation between George Zimmerman and a 911 dispatcher recorded moments before the shooting. The investigation came after Fox News and others pointed out that the network spliced two parts of the call together, making it appear as if Zimmerman had said, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black." In reality, Zimmerman was answering a dispatcher's question:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy--is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
LOL - Galen hates that line that said FOX NEWS called NBC out on this and got the top
brass to investigate it.

Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
Nothing I've read or seen says he did or didn't continue to follow the kid.
What I've seen or read is that the kid popped out from somewhere or came up behind Zimmerman at some point in time after that conversation with 911 when they told him they didn't need him to do that anymore.
The kid sneaking up on Zimmerman or popping out from where ever seems to indicate that Zimmerman either listened to 911, or lost track of the kid after that conversation.Will Die A Ravens Fan!!

Re: Big Al: ESCALATE
According to reports I've read, there is said to be a minute that is unaccounted for. And that is what happened from the time Zimmerman was told to stop following him and to when he walked back to the car.
Zimmerman "says" he was looking for an address to give to police but who knows if there is any evidence to confirm that.

2014 - 2015 Verification
Every year the U. S. Department of Education selects a percentage of financial aid applicants for a review of their financial aid information. This review is known as verification. If your application is selected for verification, you will need to submit certain information depending on your verification group.
Below is a list of forms required for each verification group. Your verification group is listed in the Missing Information Letter (MIL) you received from WKU. MIL's are emailed to the student's WKU Topper Mail or to the student email account listed on the FAFSA if a Topper Mail has not yet been assigned.
All forms are available by signing in to Zip Access at http://www.kheaa.com and choosing "KHEAA Verify."
*** IMPORTANT: Submit forms to KHEAA Verify, NOT to WKU ***
|W-2 Form(s)
Identity & Statement of
Where do I submit verification documents?
Submit all verification documents to KHEAA Verify, not to WKU. The student worksheet should be completed and signed electronically at www.kheaa.com. Other documentation can be faxed, mailed, or submitted through KHEAA's document upload feature.
KHEAA Verify, P.O. Box 4902, Frankfort, KY 40602. Phone: 855-272-8771. Fax: 502-696-7230. Email: email@example.com.
How do I get started?
1. Go to http://www.kheaa.com.
2. "Sign in" with the student's ID and password or "Register" if you are a first-time user.
3. After signing in, click on "KHEAA Verify."
4. Complete the required verification forms, per the Missing Information email you received from WKU and the chart above.
5. Parents of dependent students in Group 1, Group 5, and Group 6 must also "Register"
an account at www.kheaa.com and e-sign the
Student Worksheet.
6. Monitor your KHEAA account weekly until your status reads "Verification Complete"
and indicates whether any FAFSA corrections
had to be made during verification. If KHEAA has to make corrections, your Top Net will indicate a status of "Reprocessing."
7. After KHEAA verifies your FAFSA, allow up to two weeks for WKU to offer your financial aid award via Topper Mail.
Why do I have to complete the verification process?
Every year the CPS (Central Processing Center) randomly selects students for a process called verification. When a student is chosen for verification, the educational institution is required to verify the accuracy of the data reported on the student's FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students selected for verification must submit required documentation to the institution, and that information is compared to the data on the FAFSA. If a discrepancy is found, the institution makes the necessary corrections to the student's FAFSA and sends those updates to the CPS. Once the corrections have been processed, the CPS will issue the student a new SAR (Student Aid Report) which reflects any changes made to the FAFSA as well as any change in the EFC (Estimated Family Contribution number).
All verification documents must be received by August 1 of the award year to guarantee a student will be awarded by the fall semester "fees due date," and by January 1 of the award year to guarantee that a student will be awarded by the spring semester "fees due date." WKU does not award federal (Title IV) aid until the verification process is complete.
Occasionally a student is selected for verification after being awarded Title IV aid. The student will be subject to all the rules and requirements of verification as those applicants who were selected before being awarded. If the student's federal Title IV aid eligibility changes as a result of corrections made through the verification process, any required return of Title IV funds will be returned to the appropriate accounts through the Office of Billings and Receivables, and the student will owe WKU for any remaining balance that may occur due to funds being returned. CPS will issue the student an updated SAR, reflecting any corrections made to their FAFSA, and SFA will notify the student through WKU email of any changes to their Title IV aid. All Title IV aid changes will also be reflected on their Top Net "Account Summary" (billing account information).

Lars Eller is among the Habs to whom the team has extended a qualifying offer.
François Lacasse, NHLI via Getty Images
No colossal surprises this afternoon as the Canadiens released the list of those restricted free agents to whom they've extended qualifying offers as of the 5 pm ET deadline.
Those receiving offers: defencemen P.K. Subban, Raphael Diaz, Alexei Emelin, Brendon Nash and Frédéric St-Denis. Plus: forwards Lars Eller, Ryan White, Aaron Palushaj, Blake Geoffrion and Andreas Engqvist.
If these players fail to sign by July 1, they will become restricted free agents. Then, other teams can submit offer sheets to them which the Habs can match.
Conspicuously absent from the qualifying offer list: Michael Blunden.
The Canadiens elected a few days ago to take RFA goalie Carey Price to salary arbitration, a clerical move that heads off any offer-sheet ambush. No doubt GM Marc Bergevin is working on a deal for his franchise goalie, who surely is by now aware of the five-year, $19.5-million offer agreed to this afternoon by Winnipeg Jets RFA goalie Ondrej Pavelec.

The Latest in Green Tech Innovations for Tires
When it comes to your car, oil isn't the only thing there's a finite supply of. Rubber has its limits too, and it's estimated by 2020, the supply of natural rubber in the world may be outstripped by demand. And of course, tires require a great deal of oil to produce as well. Tire manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to innovate and conserve resources in tire production. Here are some recent advances:
- Dandelions: Yes, those humble yellow flowers you try to eliminate from your yard. Dandelions actually contain a minute amount of latex in their milky oil, and research shows they can actually produce about as much latex, pound-for-pound, as rubber plants. German scientists have cultivated 1-foot-tall dandelions for just this purpose. This isn't a new development, either -- in WWII, Amer ...[more]

University of New South Wales (Sydney) Buddhist Society (UNIBUDS) has grown in the last 30 years and this year, we will be celebrating its 31th Birthday! And so We welcome you to our anniversary night -- Bodhi Nite 2011!
Like every year, the night of festivities will be filled with performances, singing and animations. The evening will begin with a complimentary vegetarian dinner (6pm to 7pm) and the show will begin from 7pm to 10pm. Your ticket will automatically be included in our lucky-draw too!
This year, we will explore "Dwelling in the Past, Dreaming of the Future, is the Present forgotten?", which explores the theme of Mindfulness. I believe everyone must have heard of the word mindfulness, but do we really understand it? How does mindfulness relate to our life? How can we actually practise it?
Members of UNIBUDS will put their hands together and present to you the meaning of Mindfulness through Choir, Multimedia Animation, and Sketch. Our Patrons will also guide us in understanding the theme better through short Dhamma talks during Bodhi Nite. I believe each of you would go home with a gift - the gift of Dhamma!
