Heavy fog may have contributed to a fatal crash this morning at the intersection of U.S. 30 an Ohio 94.
The crash killed a 52-year-old Louisville man, whose name is being withheld pending notification of family members, said Lt. Joel Smith, commander of the Wooster Post of the State Highway Patrol.
The driver of the other truck, Gary Wendeln, 39, of New Bremen, was not injured.
According to Smith, Wendeln, who was hauling steel coils for Precision Strip Transportation out of Minster, had just resumed his eastbound travel on U.S. 30 after the traffic light turned green when the other truck slammed into his truck from behind. The crash occured at 6:52 a.m.
The Lousiville man was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, Smith said.
Witnesses said visibility was limited to about 50 yards because of the fog, Smith said. According to those witnesses, the Louisville man began braking right before the collision occured.
The intersection, which was littered with the 50 lb. bags of ice salt the Louisville man was hauling, as well as the steel coils from Wendeln's flatbed trailer, was closed for about an hour, Smith said.

My name is Kevin L. and I am a certified Social Studies Tutor from Guelph, Ontario.
SchoolTutoring Academy's tutoring programs for Upland students start with a free academic assessment with an Academic Director. Our flagship tutoring programs are available for $199.99/month which include regular one-on-one tutoring, academic mentorship, bi-monthly progress reports, learning profiles, and parental conference calls.
The Upland schools use an enhanced model of curricular design in which the standards for learning are detailed with precision and can serve as the basis of instruction and assessment. Each subject is designed to impart the essential knowledge within the subjects and to do so in such a way that subject-area skills and strategies are developed yearly and built upon in following years.
In Mathematics, the content areas of numeracy, measurement, algebraic and geometric functions, and advanced topics like Discrete Math are the linear progression that students follow. Skill sets are developed yearly in all the basic forms of math and students are prepared to handle the complex topics within the subject at the high school level.
Similarly, in Science students are taught about the skills of being a scientist and the knowledge that has been developed in fields like biology, earth and environment, physics, and chemistry. The foundation continues to grow so that students are prepared to take on classes in fields such as engineering and information technology in high school.
We currently cover the following Upland-area school district: Upland Unified School District.
In English/Language Arts, communication is the central curricular focus. Reading strategies for non-fiction and literary texts are taught and writing strategies that target different goals for written expression and different tastes of an audience are focused on each year. This is accomplished by also providing a foundation in skills to develop vocabulary and by conveying an understanding of the grammatical structure of the language. The frameworks provide an all-encompassing educational experience to students and one in which critical skills developed are always able to inform future academic challenges.
In Language Arts, students learn about how to read literary and informational texts, write for a range of purposes, use a writing process, and to listen and speak with critical thinking skills. This broad framework for all subjects prepares students for the next steps in their education.
Our educators have graduated from top academic institutions, and many of them have achieved in the 90th percentile or higher on standardized tests. Equally importantly, they enjoy coaching students across a variety of subject areas and standardized tests.
Students work collaboratively with their private tutor who is a top-notch college graduate well beyond the academic caliber that you'll typically find in your neighbourhood.
Every student is paired up with both a private tutor and an Academic Director responsible for creating a comprehensive learning plan and constantly tweeking it to optimize for results.
With regular progress reports and archived copies of your lessons, you can easily track your progress and review concepts from past lessons.
SchoolTutoring Academy offers private tutoring anytime, 7 days a week. Get help from an expert tutor understanding tough math concepts, completing homework assignments, studying for a science test or exam review. Finally, the flexibility to learn on your schedule!
Our tutors make it easy to schedule sessions when and where it is convenient for you - no more rushing to tutoring centers! Let a certified SchoolTutoring Academy educator teach your student in the comfort of your home.
SchoolTutoring Academy tutors work with students of all ages and abilities, including children with learning disabilities such as ADD and ADHD. We work with young learners by offering Pre-K and Kindergarten Tutoring and Elementary School Tutoring to build strong learning foundations early on. We offer comprehensive tutoring across all school subjects.
SchoolTutoring Academy offers affordable plans to meet every budget. Benefits include individual attention with a tutor, progress reports and mentorship. Tutoring programs from $199.99/month. We also offer high school tutoring in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Calculus, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and more.

To say Call of Duty is a gaming juggernaut is an understatement. With the last three entries in the franchise breaking sales numbers to become the best selling game ever respectively at the time of release, Call of Duty boasts one of the most impressive pedigrees when it comes to units shipped. What was once just another genre distilled first-person shooter set in historical set pieces such as World War 2, Call of Duty quickly broke from the pack to not only outsell other beloved games within the same genre, but do so on an annual release schedule, something most gamers to this day express their disdain for. Much like sports games released on a similar schedule, Call of Duty would go on to adapt this mindset and give fans a new iteration each year without changing the formula drastically which is the basis for the critics who feel the series has gone stagnant, but also a staple for the enthusiasts who's mindset is simply "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
With the release of this massive franchise upon the masses, other developers and publishers quickly jumped on the bandwagon and began releasing more and more triple-A productions poised to stand up to the gargantuan success of Call of Duty and hopefully tap into the market-share that seemed to be dominated solely by one company. Publishers like EA revamped long dead titles like Medal of Honor and core Battlefield titles while other publishers would move towards new ideas in hopes of catching the attention of the masses. Games started flooding the market, one after another, with what seemed to be the same cookie-cutter formula used by Call of Duty.
More iterations of giant explosions, large set-pieces, and "on rails" action infected beloved genres where this was once a taboo. Games like Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3, both in a genre where mood and atmosphere are the main selling point, felt like the same rehashing of action movie cliche's over and over and eventually, fatigue started to set in.
With the rise in popularity with Call of Duty, so too did the rise in pressure for other publishers to create their own franchises capable of driving as much revenue. It's no coincidence the triple-A market feels stagnant and in need of innovation; you need only look at the leader of the pack to see why the others are following. The popularity of Call of Duty has split the market into two very different, very polarizing fields; indie and blockbuster.
With the unfortunate bankruptcy of THQ, this fact has never been more apparent than now. We are now living in a fascinating age where the middle-tier publisher is no longer relevant and the vast majority of gamers aren't interested in wasting their time on games that aren't already known to them or aren't $.99. If you were to google Call of Duty's sales numbers, you would see that it only took 15 days for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 to make $1 billion; I dare you to find a stand-alone game that can boast that same number. On the other side of the coin, it is nearly impossible to turn a corner without hearing about the wildly successful stories of games like Minecraft and Angry Birds.
So what does this all mean for companies like THQ or Square-Enix, the poised middle-tier publisher who offer gamers a breadth of exciting content that spans many genres and platforms? Seemingly not much at all. With the recent shutting of THQ's doors and liquidation of its assets, it would appear that the gaming world is rapidly shifting and if you're a publisher you either evolve or crumble. Evidence of this polarity shift can be seen all throughout the business as companies refocus their efforts and strategies and with it, more and more developers are forced to shut their doors or adopt a new focus.
The aforementioned Square Enix just recently announced its new alignment along mobile platforms as a serious direction for the company and its efforts to cut out any superfluous projects outside of its core arrangement. With this change in direction we have already seen updates on long awaited series such as Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 15 as well as a much needed push in Western games development. Does this mean a complete turn-around for the mal-aligned Eastern publisher? Time will only tell. Can we blame Call of Duty's influence on the market on this disparity? Perhaps.
So is the gaming giant to blame or the masses who flood the markets on release day? Are the people who buy the game as guilty as the game itself? One could argue as such, but we must remember that popularity comes for good reason: because the people want it.

I like it and I see your point. It could be a good indication to someone looking in. On the other hand, it may be a good warning to them not to break in if they don't know where I am.
I could see using it on long trips. Wonder how hard it would be to remove and stash when you get out of the car?

Salif Keita
In 1977, Keita received the prestigious National Order of Guinea from President Ahmed Sekou Toure. Encouraged to pursue a solo career, Keita moved to Paris in 1984. Settling in the city's Montreuil section, he found a thriving community of more than 15,000 transplanted Malians. Predictions of success proved true with the release of Keita's debut solo album, Soro, in 1987. Produced by Ibrahim Sylla, the album combined African, jazz, funk, Europop, and R&B influences. Keita continued his recording career with several releases for Mango throughout the '90s, including the Mansa of Mali anthology, before moving to Blue Note for Papa in 1999 and then Decca, where he debuted with Moffou in 2002. Moffou was considered some of Keita's finest work to date, and he received a Grammy nomination for the album. Keita then returned to Bamako, Mali, in order to record his next full-length effort, M'Bemba, which came out in 2006. ~ Craig Harris

Obama Nominates NY Congressman as Secretary of the Army
New York, NY —
President Obama has nominated New York Republican Congressman John McHugh as Secretary of the Army
MCHUGH: John understands personally and deeply the sacrifices our soldiers and their families make everyday. Just ask the soldiers he's always fought for in his district at Fort Drum. Home to the legendary 10th Mountain Division. The most deployed division in the U.S. Army.
McHugh has represented the northern New York district since 1993, and is ranking GOP member of the House Armed Services Committee.

"Damaged goods," "bait and switch," "Bench It Like Beckham", each day brings a fresh barb of stinging criticism, as if MLS conspired with the Estonian national team to arrange a stomping on his ankle in that June 6 qualifier and then stood by idly as Real Madrid's medical team shot his ankle full of pain-killers so he could play in the decisive, final match of the Spanish league season and further damage the ankle.
His slow recovery has fueled suspicions the damage may be long-term, even permanent. There's zero evidence to support this case, of course, but that's irrelevant, as is the plain fact that until he completed his contract with Real, Galaxy officials had absolutely no right nor course of action to evaluate or treat his ankle.
The criticism took some curious forms, such as that leveled at team officials for letting him travel with the team on its current three-game road trip after keeping him home for a SuperLiga game in Dallas on the grounds that air travel could cause swelling in his ankle. The possibility that the team believed he'd be healthy for the last two games of the trip against D.C. United and New England apparently didn't figure in this theory after he was ruled out of the Toronto game. And if he recovered in LA sufficiently to fly later in the week, got on a plane and his ankle swelled up to force him out of the lineup again, how stupid would that look?
And as to the dark suspicions about a sprained ankle taking so long to heal, a much younger MLS attacker by the name of Chris Rolfe only recently came off injured reserve after suffering an ankle sprain in mid-May. Do the math. And he didn't get flipped up in the air by Chelsea's Steve Sidwell, either.
At the time, Galaxy president and GM Alexi Lalas admitted letting Beckham play against Chelsea entailed some risk. Responsibility admitted, risk taken, cost still to be determined. Can we move on?
Maybe the marketing forces played a role, but hey, this just in: Marketing millions persuaded the Galaxy to sign him in the first place! "Brand It Like Beckham," remember? Still, the league is in a bad spot, and so is the Galaxy and ESPN, which had heavily loaded its non-soccer programming with Beckham promos.
Fans who bought tickets have no grounds for refunds or rebates; this is not the same situation as for a concert by Luciano Pavarotti or even the Spice Girls. If he, or they, don't show, customers are entitled to a refund or some other make-good. So would a boxing fan if illness or arrest caused cancellation of the main event on a card. Not so for a competitive team sporting event.
A baseball fan who buys a San Francisco Giants ticket in the hopes of seeing Barry Bonds hit a historic homer has no case if he sits. Ditto for Becks. Those fans in other MLS cities that bought season tickets months in advance to guarantee themselves seats to see Becks probably have no legal recourse, but they'll complain, and team officials had best listen.
Sports teams are permitted to scale ticket prices differently for different games, yet the premium prices charged by MLS teams for the Galaxy visit and bundled packages by which fans had to buy tickets to other games in order to get the Galaxy game could be deemed onerous.
Each day is an adventure, and we're not even a month into a five-year saga.

Target: U.S. Congress and Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
Goal: Prevent illegal wildlife from entering U.S. borders by increasing number of U.S. customs wildlife inspectors, raising penalties for involvement in organized crime and illegal wildlife trafficking and facilitating extradition to try organized criminals who cross national boundaries.
All is not quiet on South Africa's savannahs as conservationists rally together each night to prevent poachers from killing rhinoceroses for their horns, which are destined for the Asian pseudo-scientific medicinal market. Unfortunately, rhinos are not the only endangered wildlife currently being hunted by criminal organizations aiming to profit from this unscrupulous, but highly lucrative trade.
Being the second largest black market in the world, the illegal wildlife trade is decreasing the Earth's biodiversity at an increasingly alarming rate. Estimated to be a multi-billion dollar industry, transnational crime organizations have systematized the trade causing many endangered species to become extinct while also accelerating the rate of extinction of others. Consequently, it is thought that 20 percent of all existing species will be extinct by 2020.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), a UN treaty enacted in 1973, was designed to prevent international wildlife trade from depleting the world's biodiversity. Although monumental in its time, CITES has failed to prevent this trade from expanding because national governments have not sufficiently responded to this crisis of illegal wildlife trafficking.
As the world's largest importer of illegal wildlife, the U.S. plays a vital role in perpetuating this incredibly harmful trade. Thus, it is paramount that the U.S. implement paradigm shifting procedures, which other nations can follow, to prevent illegal wildlife from entering the country. First, the number of U.S. wildlife inspectors must be drastically increased to cover the forty points of wildlife entry. Second, penalties for involvement in organized crime and illegal wildlife trafficking must be raised to a level that makes it unprofitable and unwise for traffickers to continue. Finally, extradition of transnational wildlife traffickers must be made easier so that international legal cooperation can crack down on these criminals.
By signing this petition, you will be acknowledging this growing threat to our planet and demanding that action be taken to prevent the continuation of illegal wildlife trafficking.
Dear U.S. Congress and Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano,
The illegal wildlife trade has grown to become the second largest black market in the world and is now largely controlled by transnational crime organizations seeking to profit from the destruction of the world's biodiversity.
Although the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) was an encouraging sign of international cooperation for environmental conservation, national governments have still not implemented effective domestic policies for the prevention of illegal wildlife trafficking. As the world's largest importer of illegal wildlife trafficking, it is the U.S. responsibility to institute paradigm-shifting policies for the prevention of this trade.
Therefore, I ask you to do several things to stop this destructive trade. First, I ask you to drastically increase the number of wildlife inspectors to adequately protect the forty points of wildlife entry. Second, I urge you to raise the penalties for involvement in organized crime and illegal wildlife trafficking to a level that will discontinue the trade and make it unprofitable. Finally, I implore you to facilitate extradition so that wildlife traffickers across national boundaries can be tried .
[Your Name Will Go Here]

The Basics for Enjoying Google+ Hangouts
Post by Ray 4 years ago - Google Plus - 9 Comments
Google+ Hangouts is the most popular feature of Google+.
I started holding my weekly Wednesday G+ Lunch Hangout this week.
It's a regular Hangout where I invite my subscribers and a few other friends to ask questions and share their expertise about Google+
If you're interested in participating, subscribe to my Weekly Google+ Tips Newsletter and you'll be put in the invitation circle.
Now, let's move on to some Google+ Hangout basics.
I've participated in a number of Hangouts and they all have something in common; glitches.
It may be as small as poor lighting or as big as the host's site crashing.
The point is that it's technology. And technology's only human.
Hangouts can be intimidating. It was for me.
But with the encouragement of a generous host like (Martin Shervington) and practice, I now use it a lot for meetings, networking and sharing a coffee with friend in our digital café.
It's become a valuable tool for building communities.
Hangout Basics:
In a 'regular' Hangout, only the people invited can enter and view the 'show'.
Unlike Hangouts On Air (HOA), it's not recorded, broadcast or uploaded to YouTube.
What you need:
1. Software –
Plugin for Google Voice and a Google account (of course). This is easy and only necessary if you've never done a Google video or voice chat before.
You can do this directly once you start a Hangout. You'll be prompted to install the plugin then run through a test of your microphone, speakers and webcam.
2. Equipment –
You want to be seen and heard as well as hear what others are saying so make sure you have a good quality webcam, microphone and speakers available.
Most desktop computers have decent a/v hardware. If you are or planning to use your laptop or mobile, then external headphones or earplugs are a must.
Audio is the most important thing in video.
We can put up with bad lighting, or blurry images but if we can't hear we can't engage.
Headphones. Mandatory unless you have an external mic that is a distance away from your speakers. A regular headset or iPod type earphones works equally well.
Do Not Use the internal speakers AND microphone, especially if you're using a laptop.
You'll cause feedback as the audio coming from your internal speakers will be sent out again through your mic and on and on and on.
Microphone. I use the Yeti Blue, a usb desktop microphone that's probably overkill for most people. When I do Hangouts and demo videos, it's important that poor audio doesn't distract for the experience.
As I mentioned, your internal microphone is fine as long as you use a Headphone. A combination headphone/earplugs like the ones we get with our iPods or iPhones work very well.
Webcam: Most built in webcams will work with Google+. Laptops, tablets and mobiles will tend to less than perfect but adequate as long as you can be heard. (see above).
If you're using an external camera, turn off any special filters, and auto focussing features as they suck up bandwidth and can cause lags.
Tip: Place the webcam as close to eye level as possible so that we're not looking at the top of your head or into the depths of your nostrils.
Internet Connection. The faster your connection, the better and it's preferable to have your hangout on a wired connection.
If that's not possible and you find your wireless connection weak or unstable, you can change your internet speed settings in the Hangout settings.
3. Setting –
Whether you're hanging out with a best friend or a panel of communication experts, you want to be seen and heard.
– If you're in an office or noisy environment, an iPod style earphone with mic will help keep out extraneous noises.
– Don't sit with your back to a light source such as a window or lamp. We'll only see your shadow. Instead, sit facing the light source.
– If using a laptop, try to get it situated as close to eye level as possible.
– At home, reduce any sound sources as possible such as phones, radios etc..
– Be aware of what the camera sees. It's best to have a neutral or cluttered background. You don't want guests distracted by trying to read book titles on your shelf instead of listening to you.
4. Hangout –
– When you're invited to a Hangout, you receive a notification in Google+ or in your email box (if that option is set in notifications).
– Click on the "join Hangout" to enter.
– After the first three people, anyone else joining the Hangout is automatically muted. This is to prevent people disrupting an ongoing conversation. Once you're settled, unmute, and say hi at an appropriate time.
– It's good etiquette to mute yourself when not speaking. This leaves you free to type, clear your throat or sing a broadway tune without disturbing the rest of the guests.
– If you feel you need to scratch an indelicately located itch, you can also mute your webcam for the time it takes you to satisfy it. 😉
– If there's a conversation going on that you want to engage in but can't find an opening, use the chat window to notify the others.
– If there are people who don't know you in the Hangout, install the Hangout Lower Third to let them know who you are. Even when introduced, we forget names quickly. (At least I do).
– If you're not sure how to install this app, see my demo video here: How to Install a G+ Hangout Lower Third
Technology aside, a Hangout is a gathering of people who have something in common. Treat it as such and behave as you would in any social setting.
Listen, observe, engage… and be polite 🙂
Do you have any questions about Google+ Hangouts or Google+ in general?
Please leave them in the comments below or you can also subscribe to my weekly Google+ Tips newsletter which will also get you into my G+ Hangout circle.
Have a great week.

This past Tuesday, EA released a free public beta for Crysis 3 across all three major online platforms. Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Origin, respectively. I downloaded the beta/demo available on PSN and have logged a considerable amount of time. Here's what I thought of it:
The download itself shouldn't take too long, as the file size is only 1.4 GB max. After installing the game (On PS3), I was greeted by a interesting starting cinematic showing off some unique situations portrayed using in-game footage. Characters demonstrated the jump smash and sliding tactics, and was something neat to get me in the mood for playing the game. Luckily, you can skip this intro at any time simply by pressing the "X" button which will bring you to the game's main menu. Matchmaking wasn't too terribly hard, and you are presented with two different game modes to choose from. You are able to play either "Hunter" or "Crash Site," one new game-mode and one standard game-mode carried over from Crysis 2.
Crash Site is standard FPS-fare, pitting two teams against each other in a battle to capture different destroyed pods that scatter throughout the map during your play-time. Whichever teams hold the most pods for the longest amount of time at the end of the match, wins. Hunter is a brand-new game-mode that steals a page from the hit Half-Life 2 mod, "The Hidden." Three players start out in a nano-suit and are locked in stealth mode, and armed only with their Hunting Bow and melee attacks. The remainder of the players are out-fitted in standard Cell gear, using pre-determined weapons that are default for all players. These "human" characters do not have the advantage of the abilities of the Nano-suit, but are given a motion-sensor that goes off when one of the Hunters is in their close proximity. This can create some tense moments where you are alone and suddenly hear soft foot-steps and slowly crescendoing bleeps of your motion monitor. The Cell operatives also start with limited ammo, but their are a few ammo caches scattered randomly throughout the board. It's a race for players to acquire this extra ammunition before their comrades, or they are left to conserve their shots.
Three classes are available in this multiplayer beta: the Sniper, Close-Quarters, and Standard-Scout load-outs. I haven't spent enough time with the beta to determine whether you have access to the game's entire plethora of weapons, but during my play-time I did unlock a number of dog-tags. I doubt that EA would allow players to experience all the game has to offer during a lone public beta test. Expect the retail release to include a few more load-outs and the ability to edit your classes. Along with the two choices of game-modes, and a triage of classes, EA has given su the luxury of playing on tow different maps. One map is a bogged down forest with temple ruins forming unique sniping positions, while the other is an over-grown airport with many hiding places. Both maps provide a sense of variety and switch up between rotations via a voting schematic.
The game itself is good fun, and it's not hard to get into a match. However, upon completion of a "Crash-Site" match I was always booted to the main menu and force to re-join a random server. Not a game-breaking downfall, but causes some annoyance. These lobby-boots were less frequent during my play-time with the "Hunter" game-mode, where my party would be returned to the stage-select screen before the next match loaded. In-game, however, textures took a few moments to "pop-in," as they say. A few more moments than I would like. It is clear that developer Crytek has had some troubles optimizing this game for PS3 users. Frame-rate slowdown occurred frequently as well, but not just when times got hectic. Simply taking in the scenery and glancing at the sun caused a slight drop in FPS. Distant textures look muddy and utterly simplistic. Hopefully the full retail release will fix these problems, but PS3 users have cried out for years that they are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to multi-plats. Sadly, it seems developers just don't want to optimize their games for PS3. Something that will hopefully be amended next console cycle.
This beta doesn't do the franchise much justice, but it is free for both standard PSN users and PS+ subscribers. Download it today, and leave your thoughts on Cyrtek's last Crysis project in the comments below. Until then, game on!

Hey friends, it's the weekend already! That one went fast, eh? Probably 'cause we were still riding high on the Olympics and basically ignoring everything else. I love this time of year, when the biggest stars in the world are people whose names you didn't know two weeks ago.
And though we'll miss them so when it's all over, we're happy to pay tribute to them in our weekly index of the pop culture world's gold-medal victories and tumble-thump! missteps.
I think you can probably guess how we feel about cute dogs wearing medals, but here's a handy visual guide to that and more.

With eight months to go before Paducah's Barbecue on the River Festival, organizers presented their plan for the event's 20th anniversary.
Festival executive director David Boggs presented the festival's ins-and-outs to the Paducah City Commission Tuesday night, showing off 2013's fundraising totals as well. Donations from the 42 barbecue teams to their respective charities totaled $448,228.
The charities receive money directly through the barbecue teams, Boggs detailed. At the end of the festival, teams fill out an accountability form telling the festival's organizers what they donated. Booths donate different amounts to their charities - some give percentages of profits, others give a flat fee, and some donate all proceeds - but organizers recommend 20 percent.
"The charities and barbecuers handle the money themselves," Boggs said. "The money does not come through the festival."
Last year, the festival brought in $138,220. Of that, 29 percent came from fees and administrative costs charged to barbecue teams and food vendors. The other 71 percent was money made from non-participants. Barbecue organizers said net expenses were $108,710, leaving the festival $29,510.
The festival will be kicking off this year in May with an event to draw attention to the 20th anniversary celebration. The festival is scheduled for Sept. 25-27.
In other business, City Manager Jeff Pederson announced that a consultant hired to review the city and county's emergency communications center has completed his report. The report will be shown to city and county officials at meetings Tuesday.

On Monday, the Washington announced that former Chicago Fire executive Mark Washo had been hired as president and general manager, replacing Joe Quinn.
Both Washington and FC Sky Blue had fallen behind the league's other five leagues, but Antonucci says there has been a turnaround.
"They are more focused on grassroots programs," she said in a teleconference call on Tuesday. "They have the right executives in place and right advertising campaigns."
She said several clubs had sold season tickets in the range of 1,000-1,400.
"If that number is times three with group sales, individual sales and walk ups," she added, "we'll be close to our goal of 6000 fans per game."
She gave high marks to Boston and Chicago -- both clubs headed by former MLS executives (Joe Cummings with the Breakers and Peter Wilt with the Red Stars).
Ticket sales for Sunday's opener at the Home Depot Center exceeded 6,000. The marks to keep in mind -- last weekend's MLS attendance for the Galaxy (18,013) and Chivas USA (16,453) in Carson.
On the sponsorship side, WPS has one major sponsor, Puma. Antonucci announced an agreement with a water company -- San Francisco-based (like WPS) Hint Water -- on Tuesday. At the team level, the only deal of note is the Sol's jersey agreement with Amway, though Antonucci said Sky Blue FC was on the cusp of announcing an agreement of its own.
The poor marketing environment has hurt, though Antonucci acknowledged WPS teams were operating on a very conservative basis to begin with.
"There have been cuts at the team and league level," she said, "to be mindful of the temporary -- the way we look at it -- softening in sponsorship market."
She was also optimistic that sponsorship agreements would be forthcoming as marketing budgets were opened up for 2009, albeit in the second quarter.
"We are affordable and efficient in how we reach [fans]," she said.

When Is Hyundai Going To Get It?
The rumor had been flying for weeks: Korea's largest chaebol was in need of a money transfusion. So when Hyundai Group Chairman Chung Mong Hun sought an emergency loan on May 31 to shore up the group's construction and shipping units, jittery investors immediately began dumping the company's stock. The sell-off sent the Seoul bourse to its lowest level in 14 months.
Next day, investors learned that the construction arm had requested $176 million and had told two investment trusts to roll over $265 million in Hyundai commercial paper. These are trifling sums by Hyundai standards. But they are another red flag for jittery investors, who since January have driven the average share price of the group's 24 listed companies down by 50%.
In truth, the market is out of whack with bottom-line reality. Hyundai expects to earn $6.6 billion in operating profits this year, up 114% from 1999. But confusing signals from the group's founding family have prompted parallels with Daewoo Group, which collapsed spectacularly last year.
Under pressure from the government and creditors, Hyundai rolled out yet another restructuring program on May 31. According to the plan, the Chung family would hand management to professionals. Hyundai also said it would sell $3.3 billion in securities, real estate, and other assets. It would cut $1.9 billion in investments, sell an elevator unit, and invite foreign investment.
While all this sounds impressive, the founding family has broken many promises to restructure. And the longer the Chungs dither, the greater the chance that Korea will plunge into another crisis. Despite first quarter economic growth of 12.8%, many structural problems remain in Korea. And though Hyundai's announcement helped push the stock market up 5.8% that day, the bourse is still down 22% this year. That kind of volatility limits firms' ability to raise money. Worsening the capital crunch is a virtually comatose corporate bond market that is still suffering from the Daewoo collapse. What Hyundai does next will provide a bellwether for Korean reform.
MONEY-SHUFFLING. So far, the picture is not comforting. Consider the methods the chaebol has used to funnel cash to troubled units such as deeply indebted Hyundai Investment Trust & Securities. Between July 16 and August 23 of 1999, according to Hyundai documents, two investment funds managed by a Hyundai unit bought $56 million in distressed assets from Hyundai Investment Trust. Then it sold the same securities back to the firm at half-price. The net result: A transfer of $23 million to the trust.
Critics also don't like the way the Hyundai group has reduced its debt load of about four times equity in order to meet government expectations. Rather than sell assets to pay down debt, the chaebol issued more stock and bought new shares in affiliates. It therefore raised its equity base to half the size of its debt. The government figures Hyundai Investment Trust and other group units shuffled $83 million to affiliates last year. Hyundai did not comment for this article.
Hyundai Investment Trust's problems have spooked the entire Korean stock market. Hyundai and other investment trusts hold bonds with a face value of $75 billion. But no one knows the real value because most have never been marked to market. The impact on the corporate bond market has been chilling. Trading in corporate paper in May fell by about two-thirds from a peak last year, to some $20 billion. If investors continue to shun bonds, a severe capital crunch may result. What's more, some $50 billion in corporate bonds issued during the crisis must be repaid this year. Companies counting on issuing new bonds to finance investments may find few takers.
The chaebol can't turn to the banks, either. Many are in no shape to make new loans because they must comply with new accounting rules. "Bonds meet a third of capital needs," says Korea Institute of Finance researcher Lee Dong Gull. "Once this market is dead, the economy cannot function properly."
Some even worry Hyundai's financial strains could push Korea back toward the abyss. Most analysts agree that, with the right reforms, the chaebol can fix itself. But that requires firm resolve by Seoul--and swift action by the Chung family.

My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Hello all!
When my hair loss first started about 5 years ago (MAJOR hair loss last December) I went through these forums and honestly got so very discouraged. I promised myself that if my hair ever came back I would write my story and share with others who are going through the same thing!!
In November, December of 2010 and January and February of 2011 I started losing a substantial amount of hair. I was so worried, bawled my eyes out every time I showered and saw the webs of hair in my fingers, it was the most horrible experience I have ever been through in my life!!! I got a Dr. appointment with my family Dr. who ordered bloodwork and referred me to a dermatologist. When the blood work came back, my ferritin was found to be 18 which is low but still in the normal range (according to my normal doc). The dermatologist prescribed Iron pills (red capsules) because he said in order for normal hair growth, the ferritin should be around 65. He also set me up for a scalp biopsy. I was so hopeful they would find something, as I was losing 500 -600 hairs a day. I thought by the time my appointment came around again I would be completely bald. (I was losing it from all over my head, not in patches). A few weeks later I got my biopsy results back (in March sometime) and he said "Sorry, but the results show female pattern baldness). I was devastated.
A week later, I went to a different doctor (to get an allergy shot) and he noticed my hair was really thinning hard core, and he told me to take a complex B vitamin (I took the liquid one from Nutter's) and EXTRA B6 (Jamieson) so I started taking these vitamins. I started feeling so much better from the inside out (I had no idea how sick and tired I was) suddenly I had energy!! (In February I also started taking Evening Primrose Oil, Copper and Zinc). I shampooed with Nizoral 2% every day for 1 week, then every other day for weeks 2 and 3 then twice a week, however even before I started shampooing with Nizoral my hairloss had started slowing! Within a week of the B6 and Complex B vitamins my hairloss had stopped completely but my head was a little itchy. I went for a hair cut in April, and my hairdresser noticed that more than more than HALF of my hair was in regrowth phase. (Actually everyone around me noticed it was getting thicker). It is now June, and I am still getting new regrowth and no more scalp showing except for a very little bit in my part lines.
I was so worried because my scalp was showing all over in Jan and Feb, and I thought it would take at least a year to fill in. After going through it it took 2 weeks TOPS and it was much MUCH less noticeable (I could finally go out in public with no hat)
I just hope EVERYONE out there tries these vitamins ESPECIALLY B6 (and B Vitamin complex to make sure they are all in line, because just taking B6 can cause a deficiency in other B vitamins). Your pee should be bright yellow, and its almost impossible to take too much (don't try it though) because it is excreted in urine. I take liquid so I can take smaller doses three times a day. Take them for 2-3 weeks and you should see improvement by then if you are deficient.
I have more hair right now and for the past 3 months than I have had since highschool (I am 28 right now) AND its still coming in!! I hope this gives everyone at least a little encouragement. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'll try and check this often. I might have missed something in my regimen that I used, so if I think of anything else I was taking I will add it later.
Good luck to all, and keep the faith!!
June 30th, 2011, 04:58 PM #2
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
So you regrew hair in the past 6 months, more than you've had in the past 10 years!?
I definitely think HL has to do with people's bodies being out of whack, and vitamin deficiencies may be a cause. Good to hear that you found your culprit and you have success!
June 30th, 2011, 11:42 PM #3
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Yes, I can honestly say, I have more hair now covering my head (not long hairs yet, but eventually) than I have had in 10 years. Once it grows out to ponytail length it will be much better, but with all the new regrowth pushing up existing hair adds a lot of volume, so it looks pretty normal!
The whole body being out of whack is bang on. I didn't realize how bad it was, but since 2007 I've been taking so many sick days at work, which was odd because in the past 6 years before that I took only 1 or 2 days total. ALthough I don't like to admit it, back in highschool I could drink copious amounts of alcohol, and was never sick or hung over. The past few years, I would be so sick, sometimes immediately after drinking only two or three beer. Since the b vitamin complex, I have re-discovered my party animal years and hardly get hungover at all anymore!! (though i don't drink that often, maybe once a month) and just feel so much better in general!!
I really hope this helps at least one person who is going through this (I really really REALLY hope it can help everyone, but everyone is different)!!!!!!!

Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Thanks for posting!!! Congratulations on your success.
I am beginning to think unless there is something extraordinarily wrong with blood test results then doctors just say AGA. I am wondering if all as AGA labelled people are possibly prone to AGA but there is some other factor (like a vitamin deficiency etc) making our hair loss worse? Hearing a story like yours makes me think that even more.
I will definitely be adding vitamin B to my list of supplements.
Did you get your vitamin B levels checked when you were suffering from hair loss? I am not sure they check it as standard.... I am pretty sure they only checked my B12.
July 2nd, 2011, 09:27 AM #5
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
No they didn't check all the B vitamins, just B12 (which was good because I was taking shots)
My other doctor (that I went to see on an unrelated matter) just told me I was too young to have hair loss and something was wrong, "take extra vitamin B6 and it will thicken right up" he said. AND he was right!! B6 is important as it helps you to absorb B12, and somehow helps your body make GLA (which you can also get from evening primrose oil). B12 also can be correlated somehow to ferritin so its it important that your body can absorb it.

Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Kimber, are you taking a B complex that has both b6 and b12? Or taking them separately? Any recommendations on which brand to get?
July 3rd, 2011, 11:44 AM #7
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Yep, the B complex has both, I just take extra b6 and b12 shots.
I use Prairie Naturals liquid B complex from Nutters, if you don't have a Nutter's store, probably any b complex would do. I also use Jamieson B6 100mg. This is what the B complex has in it in case you want to find something similar. I take 2 or 3 Tsp per day.
1 Tbsp
Vit B-1 - 50 mg
Vit B-2 - 50 mg
Vit B-3 - 50 mg
Vit B-6 - 50 mg
Vit B-12 - 975 mcg
Vit B-7 - 1000 mcg (Biotin)
Vit B-9 - 1000 mcg (Folic Acid)
Vit B-5 - 100 mg
Choline bitartrate - 50 mg
Inositol - 50 mg
PABA - 50 mg
July 3rd, 2011, 04:46 PM #8
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Are you sure these results can't be attributed to your increased ferritin levels/normal level? It seems like you started noticing growth about 4 months after starting the iron supplementation.
July 3rd, 2011, 09:49 PM #9
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
Because I was a little curious, I just looked up B6 deficiency and found this.
It is amazing how much can interfere with B6. Most of us consume plenty of oxidized fats, potato chips and drink from plastic containers. And then there's birth control....eeks!
July 3rd, 2011, 10:04 PM #10
Re: My SUCCESS story :) Vitamin B6
I think your case is a prime example of how physicians are WAY too quick to jump to the conclusion of AGA.
I am so happy this has worked for you. I plan to look into this as well. I have a colon condition and I've often wondered if it might be causing an absorption issue, in general, for me. Thanks for sharing...

Daniel Viles Poetry Challenge - I Know How Jeff Felt
01 July 2009 , 3:50 PM by Daniel Viles
How do you think Jeff Goldblum felt last Friday when a fake news story announcing his death spread around the world?
This afternoon on the Poetry Challenge, I received an education when I put myself in Jeff's shoes and tried to imagine news of my death being broadcast on morning tabloid television. Perhaps this poem is the first of a new genre that I would like to call the "anti-obituary".
Click here to read all of this year's Challenge Poems.
Richard's suggestion: beautiful girl, lovely dress (from Gone Daddy Gone by the Violent Femmes)
Your suggestions: the murmuring of innumerable bees; breasts for Daniel; moonquake; Fatima's fun-filled fiendish folly; Starsky and Hutch; parliamentary pomposity; the Rooty Hill RSL courtesy bus; codswallop; Woolgoolga; Richard Wilkins, I'm not dead; all things bright and beautiful; nice personality.
I Know How Jeff Felt
The news of my death was a shock to me, I confess.
The TV host was crying; beautiful girl, lovely dress.
Next to her, a gossip journalist speaking codswallop.
His jacket like a coral reef; his hair like some odd polyp.
He spoke of my poetry and my nice personality
and my frequent outbursts of linguistic brutality.
He gave one of his chilled grins and I missed what's said,
and then I said to no-one, "but Richard Wilkins, I'm not dead!"
To endure this great slander was asking too much.
I ran around knocking over boxes like Starsky and Hutch.
I needed to be seen, this sure hurt to discuss,
so I hailed the Rooty Hill RSL courtesy bus.
We hurtled through Lismore and screeched through Woolgoolga.
I was gonna get Wilkins; I don't care what the rules are.
With parliamentary pomposity, I'll cry, "off with his head!"
He's an elementary montrosity, and what's more, I'm not dead!
I arrived at Rooty Hill; it was on afternoon break.
The place was quiet like the moon, well, after a moonquake.
It was time for Fatima's fun-filled fiendish folly hour
(which simply meant cheap beer and a roast with cauliflower)
but all things bright and beautiful; all fish in Sydney Harbour
were gathered there at Rooty Hill to hate Wilkins and his barber.
The punters saw I hadn't died or was even ill with disease
and we busily worked to get Wilkins back with the murmuring of innumerable bees.
They started a campaign they called, "Breasts for Daniel,"
in which money was raised by sponsoring strippers, a plan you'll
agree was quite bewildering and made me see red.
But at the end, we all yelled out, "Richard Wilkins, I'm not dead!"

A N.Korean life shattered by Kim Jong-il's secret
By Jon Herskovitz and Christine Kim
SEOUL (Reuters Life!) - Kim Young-soon was a celebrated dancer who moved among North Korea's elite before she was sent to prison for nine years. Her crime? Knowing a secret about the private life of heir apparent Kim Jong-il.
It was the secret of an affair Kim Jong-il began in the 1960s with a married actress that he wanted kept from his father and founder of North Korea's ruling dynasty, Kim Il-sung, which even now is so sensitive it remains air-brushed from the reclusive state's official history.
Kim Jong-il would eventually father a son with the actress, a star of her time called Sung Hye-rim, or Song Hye-rim, who died in exile in Russia in 2002.
"I have lived a life that cannot be told without tears," Kim Young-soon, 72, told Reuters in Seoul, where she now works as a dance instructor after escaping to South Korea in 2003. "This is just the frightening way in which North Korea works."
Much of the story of Kim Young-soon, whose book "I was Sung Hye-rim's Friend" was published two years ago, have been verified by North Korean defectors, including former high-ranking officials in the secretive state.
Intelligence sources have also verified reports of Kim Jong-il's liaisons with Sung, whom is believed to have been one of his wives and the mother of Kim Jong-nam, who was born in 1971.
Sung, a school friend of Kim Young-soon, was one of the country's first big movie stars, with legions of fans including film buff Kim Jong-il.
Kim Young-soon was herself a well-known dancer who met the leader and his son at performances. Her family lived among the elite and her brother was a general who had helped capture Seoul in the early stages of the 1950-53 Korean War. Continued...

With well over fifty offers from conferences around the country, the recruiting process has been a bit of a whirlwind for Mathis, who recently took his first official visit to Utah just a few months after unofficially visiting the Utes' campus.
"I had a really good time on my official visit to Utah. I got to spend some time with [defensive line coach] Chad Kauha'aha'a; he's a cool guy and we had a really good time. I love that it is like a family up there, and that everyone really makes you feel welcome. Utah also has a history for having strong defensive linemen and getting them into the NFL, so I really like that. That's my dream," he said.
Mathis' host for the weekend was receiver Kenneth Scott, who is also from the Southern California region.
"I really enjoyed getting to spend time with Kenneth; it's cool to see that even though he's getting all this attention, he's the same as before and hasn't let the attention get to him. Everyone up there is like that. When [defensive lineman] Star Lotulelei got off the bus, I didn't even realize it was him because he was so humble. He's one of the best players on the field but one of the most humble off. I really liked that," he said.
Though he's considering other programs, including Washington, Florida State, UCLA, Alabama, Texas A&M, Hawaii, Nebraska, and Arizona State, he's not yet sure what other schools will receive an official visit.
"I probably won't take any more official visits until after my season is over," he said.
With so much attention on Mathis, the recruiting process can be a bit overwhelming, but he's doing his best to balance talking with coaches and the media with his most important focus: his academics.
"I've been working hard on school and I've made everything up; I think I actually have around a 3.0 right now. I'm just focusing on all my classes so I can get through the NCAA Clearinghouse. I just wish that I had worked harder earlier, but I'm working really hard to make up for it," he said.
As Upland finished the season 10-0 after Friday night's 57-39 victory over Etiwanda (Calif.), Mathis is also working hard to help his team win the championship.
"Right now, I'm just really trying to get that ring. I don't want to leave Upland without one. Our team and our defense has been playing really well; the highlight was holding Rancho Cucamonga to only seven points earlier this season. Tonight we allowed too many points; we have to get prepared for playoffs, can't have big heads. I'm a team leader and I'm going to talk to the guys about that when we watch film," he said.
Mathis had to make a few adjustments on the field this season; as his reputation as a threat on the field continues to grow, he's finding himself constantly facing multiple coverage.
"My goal for the season was to get twenty sacks. After our third game, where I had eight sacks, the other teams saw what was happening and started using double and triple coverage against me, so it's been really different this season. We've had other guys on defense, like Delvin Batiste, really step up for the team. I think that, with everything that's going on, I've most improved by becoming more focused on the field," he said.
The 6-foot-4, 265-pound player, who lost a good amount of weight over the off-season, had plans to attend Saturday's USC-Oregon match up, and thinks he'll also be at the Rose Bowl in a few weeks for UCLA-USC.
Prior to Friday's game, Mathis accepted his invitation to play in the US Army All-American Bowl and plans to announce his decision during the live broadcast of the game on January 5th.

UK forecast for the next 5 days
Staying changeable with spells of rain, drier for the weekend.
A largely wet and dull start to the day for much of England and Wales as rain slowly moves into Northern England by the afternoon. Drier elsewhere with perhaps some rain in Northern Ireland. Feeling cool. Breezy in east.
Rain from today will gradually move northwards into Scotland, with some further outbreaks for Southwest England. Drier elsewhere but remaining largely cloudy with showers in the southeast possible.
Drier with lighter winds for much of England and Wales, although thundery showers are possible later in the south. Windy in north with spells of rain, making it feel chilly.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Further rain for England Friday, but after a changeable week, it looks like the weekend will turn drier for many with some sunny spells, although some rain in the northwest.

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Monday 3 Jul 2017 to Wednesday 12 Jul 2017:
Next week should get off to a dry start for much of the UK, though some rain may spread in from the southwest and there is a low risk of thundery outbreaks towards the southeast by mid-week. Thereafter there is some uncertainty but at the moment it looks set to turn more changeable, especially across northwestern parts where some wet and windy weather is likely. Towards the south and east it should be drier and brighter though there is still the risk of thundery rain at times here. Temperatures will remain generally around average for the time of year, but there is an increasing chance of a very warm spell, most likely towards the southeast.
Updated at: 1301 on Wed 28 Jun 2017
UK Outlook for Thursday 13 Jul 2017 to Thursday 27 Jul 2017:
Further changeable weather is likely at first, especially in the north with some rain. In the south the drier and warmer spells are likely to become more prevalent, and these could well spread across the rest of the UK through much of July.

"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"Despite the order not shipping when expected-Tiny Prints took the opportunity to make everything right about the experience. I ended up working with 2 different customer service reps throughout the process and they were both exceptional. They were helpful, service oriented, caring and professional. It tells me that the training received comes from the top down. And the best part is that I was extremely pleased with the product and would order from them again."
"The front of the card was gorgeous but the print on the back was blurry and the red was bleeding into the white at the edges so it made the text hard to read."
"Overall we are very satisfied with the product, service and delivery time. paper and print quality could be a little bit better."
"I always get compliments on these cards - more than any other card I use. For Interior Designers - it's a super cool card...."

I searched clubwrx.net and on NASIOC and couldnt find any answers to this particular problem:
A low pitched whining/howling noise when in nutural from 40-60+ MPH. The sound will only kick in while you are coasting over 40 MPH in nutural. I can run though all the gears 1-5 and everything sounds normal, but as soon as you put in the clutch at higher speeds there is a whining that sounds like its coming from the rear of the car. (especially with the rear windows down).
You can also hear a little bit of the noise if you feather the throttle.
I kinda ruled out bearings due to the sound when lightly touching the throttle, but I may be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks
Oh yeah, my specs: Owned car for 9 months. All stock except short shift and catback.

multi-threading seems awkward (and often is) because it makes very pessimistic assumptions about concurrency needs, eg:
- any co-routine might need any/all global resources
- any co-routine's state == an entire stack segment
- any instruction is an equally likely preemption point
while making very optimistic assumptions about concurrency uses, eg:
- threads always co-operate correctly on global resources they share (memory, signals, fds)
- the sharing mechanisms (say, mutexes) are cheap
- threads always re-schedule optimally, at zero cost
when people imply that "state machines are better than threads", they are broadly saying that if you analyze real-world concurrency needs and uses, you will more likely find that:
- a small set of global resources need sharing
- a small set of values makes up a co-routine's state
- a small set of instructions are reasonable preemption points
therefore in these cases the mechanism of "full" multi-threading can be seen to be redundant distraction, providing little advantage over managing some small sets of values by hand. but moreover:
- threads often co-operate incorrectly, due to programmer error, and worse: non-deterministically
- lock contention and context switching is expensive, especially with increasing cache-dependence
- a general thread scheduler doesn't always choose a very good schedule for your threads; your application may well know better
so it can be easy to see threads as worse than merely irrelevant, but in fact truly harmful to your program.
this is not to suggest that multi-threading cannot ever be put to good use. but rather that its default assumptions lead to strangely mismatched programs, which have too many unexpected failure cases associated with the optimistic assumptions, and too many ways to make simple tasks complex in order to meet the pessimistic assumptions.
there have, however, been some interesting systems developed which mix some sort of threads with stronger-than-default assumptions (either in language extensions or programming frameworks) to yield good results. see for example:

Three individuals are vying for the Tacoma School Board Position 1. An incumbent who's been on the board the last 17 years will be attempting to keep her seat, which a familiar face at the school board meetings hopes to take, as well as an individual with extensive background in education. After the Aug. 21 primary, only two will remain in the running for the Nov. 6 general election. School board members serve six-year terms.
Winskill, who was born and raised in Tacoma, feels the district has made strides since she was elected to the school board, especially in the area of reading. "Over the years, we have greatly increased scores on reading," she remarked.
Math remains an area of interest for Winskill. "We're excited about the new curriculum, but want to make sure we fill all the holes and continue on that course," she commented. A new math curriculum, Saxon Math, was implemented at the onset of the 2006-07 school year, an effort spearheaded by outgoing superintendent Charlie Milligan.
Winskill is also proud of the new buildings the district has built during her tenure on the school board, and its current financial status. "From a budget standpoint, the district is very healthy," she noted.
In the future, Winskill would like to see the district increase the number of specialty schools like the Tacoma School of the Arts as discussed at the recent education summit, Get Smart Tacoma. She believes the community needs to have input on the kind of specialty schools. "Small specialized schools are good for some kids," Winskill noted, adding that more attention also needs to be focused on vocational education. "We have let that go by the wayside a little bit because of the increased attention to the WASL (Washington Assessment of Student Learning)," she continued. "Students can learn good skills and even skills applicable to the WASL by taking those classes."
Winskill has served on the Washington State School Directors' Association (WSSDA) board and the WSSDA legislative committee in the past, as well as the Second City Chamber Series Board and the Philharmonic Board, among others. Winskill said she's a firm believer in being involved both regionally and statewide.
She's a graduate of University of Puget Sound and a mother of five grown children and a grandmother to nine. She has also been a foster mother to 24 children.
Winskill feels her many years of experience on the board help her make more informed decisions. "It takes several years to really find out how everything works," she noted. "It's a complex system."
Winskill said she continues to learn new things. "I take it very seriously and know the responsibility it requires," she remarked.
Winskill is proud of the fact she rarely misses a meeting and attends many school events.
In addition to hiring a new permanent superintendent, other challenges the district faces, according to Winskill, include the dropout rate, population decline and closing the achievement gap.
Smith, who grew up in the Northwest, said he decided to run again because "the issues that need to be addressed in the school system haven't been addressed yet."
The primary issue, according to Smith, is too much time and attention being focused on "stalling, studying problems to death" and pointing blame rather than "fixing problems as they arise." Smith described himself as a solutions-orientated individual.
Smith said the school board needs someone who isn't afraid to act on something quickly that is in the best interest of the district.
He feels its time for change on the school board. "It's time to move on and let someone else continue the work," said Smith, who is a stay-at-home father of two. He is medically retired from the U.S. Army and serves on the board of the North End Neighborhood Council. Smith has a bachelor's degree in psychology from Seattle Pacific University.
A major challenge the district faces, according to Smith, is the school consolidation issue, which he said "has the potential to change the landscape of the city as a whole.
"It needs to done with a lot of thoughtfulness to that end," he continued, "so it doesn't have a negative impact on the city."
Smith has been active in the district, attending school board meetings on a regular basis over the last five years, he said. He also served on the district's School Consolidation Advisory Committee, which he described as an "eye-opening experience."
Smith is concerned about the school board becoming an extension of the district administration rather than being an oversight board. "Unlike a majority of the school board members, I have a personal stake in it," he said, "because I still have kids in school."
Smith believes he would bring his diverse work experience to the board as well as his skill of bringing people together. He said he'd also be accessible to the community if elected to the school board. The board members, according to Smith, should discuss issues with the community before making decisions regarding them. He emphasized the importance of two-way communication.
"I have the understanding of the importance of education," he continued, "and the understanding that most of our community's larger problems stem from a lack of education at an early age."
Other major concerns for Smith include the district's graduation rate, funding and how the district spends its money.
Claus-McGahan is an educator with a doctorate in mathematics. She referred to education as not only her career, but her life.
She started her teaching career at the University of Puget Sound, and then moved into consulting. While consulting with Sound Decisions Consulting in Tacoma, Claus-McGahan also teaches parttime at Arcadia Montessori School and lectures part time at Pacific Lutheran University. She serves as the state coordinator for the Washington State Math Council Middle School Math Olympiada.
"Education is really important to me," Claus-McGahan stated, noting she's thought about running for the school board for some time. "I would like to see some changes made," she said. "I would like this district made more friendly."
She believes there is a communication issue between central administration and the school buildings, and between parents and the district. "Communication seems to be really not there," she noted. "It's frustrating as a parent, as a teacher and as a person trying to help teachers."
If elected to the school board, Claus-McGahan said, she would select a superintendent who has a "better way of communicating, motivating teachers and motivating the whole population toward good educational goals, who is not going to come in and make quick changes."
To enhance the communication between the district administration and staff, Claus-McGahan envisions smaller communities being set up geographically close to schools, since the district is so large. "Within those communities, start doing the professional development there," she said, and have a support system for district staff. These smaller communities will also be able to reach out to the larger community, according to Claus-McGahan. "I think we can get a positive momentum going if we can start working with a smaller community rather than trying to do everything district-wide," she explained.
Challenges the district faces, according to Claus-McGahan, include school consolidation, consistent funding for district programs and improving the achievement gap, among others.
She has lived in the area about 16 years, and has two boys who currently attend Tacoma Public Schools.

Nausea and vomiting facts
- Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of a disease or condition. The underlying cause of the illness causing nausea and vomiting should be identified and treated.
- Nausea and vomiting symptom control is important both for comfort's sake and to prevent dehydration.
- Dehydration can worsen nausea and vomiting.
- Medication may be available to control symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Introduction to nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of an underlying illness and not a specific disease. Nausea is the sensation that the stomach wants to empty itself, while vomiting (emesis) or throwing up, is the act of forcible emptying of the stomach. The term "dry heaves" refers to an episode of vomiting where there is no food in the stomach to vomit, and only clear secretions are vomited.
Vomiting is a violent act in which the stomach almost turns itself inside out - forcing itself into the lower portion of the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) during a vomiting episode, expelling food and secretions.
What causes nausea or vomiting?
There are numerous causes of nausea and vomiting. These symptoms may be due to the following:
- Acute gastritis (direct irritation of the stomach lining)
- Central causes in which signals from the brain cause nausea and vomiting
- Other illnesses not due to stomach problems
- Medications and medical treatments
- Mechanical obstruction of the bowel

I wish I was surprised but I'm not. The frustrating thing is that we can't seem to stop this constant undermining of our freedom.
I voted, I write my Congressman and Senators, I do whatever I can within the law. Nothing seems to matter. Remember the good ole days when George Bush couldn't sneeze without the media reporting on it for days? Where is their outrage now when we really need it?

firstly you have to remove M35080 chip and then plug it into the IC socket, this IC socket is designed for M35080 eeprom.
Beside, you need to check if it is well-welded with the board.
If not well-welded, it means poor communication, then it can't quick clear and read the mileage data.

Found these news articles where they go to great pains to delve into internal matters. By the way you'll love some of the facts in the first one.
We don't get this excited about their shootings or politics.
Why do they?
Florida 'shoot first' law helps gangsters
By Toby Harnden in Merritt Island, Florida
Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 20/11/2007
A ground-breaking law designed to allow the victims of crime to open fire without first trying to get away is allowing gangsters to get away with murder, according to law enforcement officials.
Two years ago, Florida became the first state to pass the "Stand Your Ground" or Shoot First law that gave people the right to open fire if they felt threatened on the street or in their car. The legislation was championed by the powerful National Rifle Association.
Craig Carson says pro-gun judges often pass lenient sentences for gun crimes
The new law extended the so-called castle doctrine, which allowed residents to shoot would-be burglars, to outside the home with the intention of giving legal protection to victims who opened fire during hold-ups or car jackings.
At least 15 more states have passed similar laws while others are considering doing so. But an unintended consequence of the law has been that those arrested after gangland shoot-outs have a ready-made defence and prosecutors are often reluctant to recommend charges.
Gun control advocates hope that the new law will become an election issue in 2008. But Democrats are wary of aggravating the gun lobby and Republican candidates all support the Second Amendment, which gives citizens gun rights.
Last month, Martorell Williams, 16, was shot dead by a 19-year-old youth from a rival gang when both opened fire simultaneously in a Waffle House car park in West Cocoa on Floridas space coast, home of Cape Canaveral.
The 19-year-old, a convicted criminal who was therefore not allowed to possess a weapon, survived his wounds but walked free.
Under the previous law, he would have been charged, said Gary Harrell, a homicide deputy sheriff who investigated the case. Its a travesty. The kids killer was a convicted felon and should not have had a firearm. Now hes free to kill somebody else or be killed.
Last year, in another Florida case, Kenneth Allen shot his neighbour Jason Rosenbloom, who was unarmed, twice in the stomach and chest after an argument over rubbish bags left on the pavement. He was not charged.
Crossing America: Toby Harnden's voyage across the states
Follow Toby Harnden as he travels from coast to coast to weigh up the mood of US voters
Lawyers representing two gang members who opened fire and killed a girl of nine in 2006 announced that they intended to cite the Stand Your Ground legislation as justification for shooting.
Agent Harrell said the new law was only one factor exacerbating gun violence.
Other major reasons were the ready availability of illegal guns and the reluctance of prosecutors to enforce existing laws
Agent Craig Carson, who works with the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms task force in Floridas Brevard County, said judges with a strong pro-gun stance often pass lenient sentences for gun crimes.
They just dont believe in gun control and dont enforce the gun laws. If somebodys looking at a long time in prison for using a gun they have illegally, then theyre going to stop doing it.
But its become a never-ending cycle. The criminals have no regard for the law any more and theyre starting to shoot at the cops now. Everyone has a gun here and theyre every easy to come by.
He estimated that there were about 250,000 guns in Brevard County, which has a population of 650,000.
Floridas lax gun laws mean that criminals from states like New York and New Jersey travel down to buy them and drive them back up the I-95 freeway, nicknamed the iron pipeline because of its popularity as an arms route.
But additional gun controls or repealing the Stand Your Ground law is unlikely to become a big election issue.
The NRA is so powerful here with our government that its very hard to change the gun laws, said Agent Carson.
He said that even Hillary Clinton was unlikely to challenge Republicans over guns.
Hillary supports the anti-gun agenda but she may be told to shut up because it will cost her votes.
Crossing America
Voters across the US will elect their 44th president in a year's time. The Daily Telegraphs US editor Toby Harnden and photographer Julian Simmonds are crossing America, travelling by plane, train and car to the four corners of the US to explore the real issues ahead of the 2008 race to the White House.
