WASHINGTON (AP) - A shuttle bus struck a guardrail and overturned before dawn Sunday along busy Interstate 95 south of the nation's capital, leaving one person dead and sending 16 others to the hospital, Virginia State Police said.
The bus was headed south on the heavily traveled East Coast artery when witnesses reported seeing a white, speeding four-door passenger vehicle swerve into the bus's travel lane. The bus then swerved to the right to avoid the sedan, ran off the road, struck the guardrail and overturned.
Troopers say the driver of the white sedan was later arrested and charged with one felony count of hit-and-run. The Virginia State Police identified him as 31-year-old Raphael Manuel Barrientos of Dumfries, Va. A woman who answered the phone at a telephone number for his home declined to comment.
The crash occurred on the interstate in northern Virginia's Fairfax County and police were called at 3:28 a.m. Sunday, State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said.
Geller said the man who died was one of two people flown from the crash to a northern Virginia hospital. He was identified as 24-year-old David Alberto Sanchez of Woodbridge, Va.
Sanchez's father, Federico Hernandez, said Sunday that his son, who worked in the office of an auto body shop in Virginia, was attending a birthday party for a co-worker. He believed his son had left around 11 p.m. Saturday for a trip into Washington to celebrate. He said he believed the bus was returning when it crashed. Hernandez said his son worked during the day but was also studying computers at a community college.
The State Police said that one other person was being treated for life-threatening injuries Sunday. Two others, the driver and a passenger, were being treated for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The remaining 13 passengers suffered minor injuries.
State Police identified the crashed vehicle as a shuttle bus operated by America Transportation.
An answering service dispatcher for that company said America Transportation had no information to release.
person who replied to an e-mail sent to the company's address referred questions to the Virginia State Police.
News photographs taken at the site early Sunday showed police had erected orange safety cones at the site and used floodlights to illuminate the overturned bus. It was on its right side in a grassy area, its rear pointed away from a crumpled guardrail. Crews were visible using a tall crane trying to right the bus. Its windshield was shattered and much of its right side crumpled from the right front bumper backward.

Speculation regarding the future of Sir Alex Ferguson has become something of a common topic for many pundits and journalists this season.
The curiosity of many football followers continues to grow as Ferguson's incredible career will one day have to come to an end.
Here are five managers that could be ready to replace him:
1) Ottmar Hitzfeld
Having won 18 major titles with a number of clubs, Hitzfeld will undoubtedly be remembered as a legend of the game. The former Bayern and Dortmund boss has annexed seven Bundesliga titles and two Champions League titles in the course of an impressive 30 year career. Surprisingly, Hitzfeld has never seriously been linked with any English club but Manchester United may well see an opportunity that is too good to pass up, with Hitzfeld now at his least high-profile job for many years as head coach of the Swiss National Team. The timing couldn't be better to approach the German-born coach, who has all the ingredients to manage at a club with a history as rich as United's.
2) David Moyes
Moyes is currently one of the favourites to succeed his fellow countryman at Old Trafford. The Everton boss' determination and work-ethic is unmatched and his uncompromising stance on contentious issues is something that mirrors Sir Alex's demeanour. David Moyes' knowledge and experience in the top flight of English football too can hardly be surpassed, given that all 11 years of his tenure at Everton so far have been spent in the English Premier League.
However, should Moyes eventually succeed Sir Alex, there would be a few rather concerned United supporters, given the fact that challenging for honours will be relatively unchartered territory for the Toffees' boss and he has never been involved in the Champions League proper, as a manager. If Moyes was to be appointed, it would certainly divide opinion amongst United fans.
3) Jupp Heynckes
While Sir Alex and the United Board clearly have been admiring the work going on behind the scenes in Bavaria, there has not been as much mention of the scintillating football the German giants have produced on the pitch over the last two years under the reign of Jupp Heynckes. Somehow the Bayern manager has escaped much of the praise that has been lavished on his team. Under Heynckes, Bayern have re-established supremacy in their homeland, seemingly breaking Bundesliga records on a weekly basis this season.
They were hailed for their powerful performances too in last season's UEFA Champions League, where they swept aside with relative ease some of the biggest clubs in Europe and were unlucky not to win the competition after defeat in a penalty shootout to a resolute Chelsea side. With the ratification of Guardiola as Bayern Head Coach in July, Heynckes will inevitably be chased by some of the top clubs in Europe in an attempt to persuade him not to retire.
4) Jose Mourinho
It would be impossible to compile a list of possible candidates for this job and not include the self-professed 'Special One'. There is not a club in the world who would not love to have Mourinho in their ranks. That is, of course, with the exception of his current club. Jose's relationship with the Madrid fans was never more than lukewarm. Now with 'Real' trailing Barcelona by 16 points and sitting behind Atletico Madrid in the table, the relationship between manager and fans has reached breaking point. The only thing that could restore harmony in the Bernabéu this season is a Champions League triumph.
However, even with that, Jose has expressed an unambiguous public desire to return to the Premier League. Despite their intense rivalry on the touchline, Ferguson and Mourinho share a very amicable relationship overall and if the choice were left to Sir Alex alone, then Jose would be the obvious decision. Although, with the managerial merry-go-round that is currently baffling and irritating Chelsea fans, one can never rule out a return to the Bridge for Mourinho.
5) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's name is never far removed from this debate and it easy to see why. His appointment as Reserve Team Coach at United was publicly endorsed by Sir Alex in 2008, making him the first full-time coach in two and a half years at the club.
On top of this, Soskjaer has received a lot of praise since winning the Norwegian Premier Division with Molde FK (the first in the club's history). Soskjaer and Ferguson are reportedly in constant contact and there is no doubt that 'The Baby-Faced-Assassin' would be a fans favourite at Old Trafford as manager.
He also has Champions League experience as a manager, which would surely be a prerequisite for the job. The fact that Soskjaer has learnt his trade as a manager under Ferguson would also be a major advantage to him. This method of 'learning the trade' so to speak, was adopted by Jose Mourinho (under Sir Bobby Robson) and Andre Villas-Boas (under Mourinho) who are just two examples of how this method of progression can produce exceptional managers.
However, as Ferguson says himself, the appointment of the next United manager may be a long way off because the fiery Scot still has as much passion as ever and is not quite ready yet to sit in the executive box at Old Trafford just yet.

I used to live there and still go there for work/pleasure 8-10 times a year and I encounter as many people from there as any place I've ever been. The thing is, in my experience native Californian's rarely move to other states. I don't know the hard statistics but I bet California is in the top 5 states in retaining residency of people that are born there.

In the Collections Framework, there are many implementation classes to choose from. Most of the time, one of these "primary implementations" is the appropriate choice
- ArrayList, for an implementation of the List interface
- LinkedHashMap, for an implementation of the Map interface
- LinkedHashSet, for an implementation of the Set interface
- ArrayDeque, for an implementation of both the the Deque and Queue interfaces
Before JDK 1.5, HashMap and HashSet were the preferred implementations of Map and Set. However, the iterators returned by those classes have the somewhat bizarre property of having an undefined order. That is, iterating over a HashMap or HashSet can return elements in a different order at different times. Their iteration order is not guaranteed to be repeatable (and often isn't). Even though HashMap and HashSet have slightly better overall performance, for most business applications it is likely best to avoid such undefined behavior.
To retain the sorting of items being manipulated in a graphical user
and TreeMap
are useful. They force a collection to maintain a sort order when the user
adds and deletes items.

I see that this is a fairly old thread but, I'm looking for a back issue for my Dad for Father's Day and can't seem to find any info anywhere else. This issue I'm looking for has his truck "Project Hot Shot" on the cover with another dually. It's a 2000 Ford F-350 and this is the description...Rick Bottom Custom Motorsports designed and built the "Hot Shot" 2000 F-350 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab 2-wheel drive dually.

Designed with sleek elliptical curves, the wheel is made of Alcoa's signature one-piece, hot forged aluminum alloy, for a stronger wheel with a smoother, truer run. The Hot Shot also features a long-lasting brilliant finish and is backed by Alcoa's five-year limited warranty. The project features Air Ride Technologies suspension system, BF and rolls on Goodrich tires. Appearance items include a California Custom USA grille shell, a ProFinish hood and Sir Michael's roll pan to smooth out the rear. Martin Barkey Racing Products exhaust, JBA headers, and a Kenne Bell supercharger up the ante on the V-10's power. Inside the Eclipse audio-video system provides mobile entertainment. Rhino Linings bed liner and a Snug Top bed cover finish off the bed.Finding this magazine has been like looking for a needle in a haystack, and any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has tempered expectations of a summer of frantic transfer activity at the Emirates Stadium - insisting Arsenal are looking for quality not quantity.
The Gunners have already secured one high-quality signing in the form of established German international Lukas Podolski, and Gazidis believes the former-Cologne signing will give fans a taste of things to come at Euro 2012.
"We have acted early to get the critical signing in Lukas Podolski," said Gazidis. "Our fans will be able to see him compete at the Euros and see what a very good player he is."
But the Gunners may be quieter than fans expect over the summer, as Gazidis suggested Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was looking for quality rather than quantity. Last summer, the uncertainty over Champions League qualification - Arsenal faced a playoff against Udinese - meant Wenger was forced to wait, before eventually signing a number of players in a series of deadline-day moves.
But this year Arsenal have secured automatic participation in the Champions League by virtue of their third-placed Premier League finish, and Gazidis believes that gives them an advantage in the hectic transfer market.
"The key for us is not the volume of signings we might make but that the signings we make add something to the squad. That is something Arsene [Wenger] thinks extremely carefully about and for all of the pressure he is placed under, he tends to make good decisions."
Gazidis also confirmed that the club would not be commenting on the ongoing Robin van Persie contract situation until both parties had something to announce. With van Persie set to play for Holland in Ukraine and Poland, no announcement is expected before the end of Euro 2012.

The sponsorship is announced on the back of Betfair receiving an online sports betting licence in the northernmost Land of Schleswig-Holstein last month, where Betfair will pay 20% on gross profit. The other 15 German Lander, including Bayer Leverkusen's home state of North-Rhine Westphalia, last week ratified a new Interstate Gambling Treaty to take effect from 1 July under which 20 licences will be offered to private operators, based on an unworkable 5% turnover tax. In contrast to Schleswig-Holstein, the offer of online poker and casino by private operators will remain prohibited.

Brandon Paul scored 14 points and No. 13 Illinois earned a 72-64 win over Western Carolina on Tuesday.
Western Carolina tied the game at 54-54 with 5:53 left.
Illinois guard D.J. Richardson hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions for a 62-56 lead. Richardson finished with 13 points.
After a Western Carolina turnover, Illini guard Tracy Abrams made two free throws and a basket on the following possession for a 66-56 lead. Abrams added 10 points for the Illini, who shot 40 percent for the game.
Guard Preston Ross paced the Catamounts (3-6) with 17 points. James Sinclair added 13 points and eight rebounds. Guard Brandon Boggs added 16 points off the bench.
The Illini (9-0) play at No. 10 Gonzaga on Saturday.
Illinois was 3 of 14 from the field to start the game, but the Illini stretched the lead to 32-22 at halftime with a 15-8 run to end the half.
The Catamounts kept the game close despite 22 turnovers.
The game served as a reunion for Western Carolina coach Larry Hunter and Illini assistant Dustin Ford, who played for Hunter at Ohio and coached under him at Western Carolina.
Ford worked at Western Carolina for three seasons, concluding in 2008. He then returned to Ohio, where he joined Jim Groce's staff before moving with Groce to Illinois prior to this season.
Western Carolina fell to 1-14 all-time against teams from the Big Ten Conference.

Difference between revisions of "Front Range"
Revision as of 07:54, 25 January 2009
The Front Range is a region in the US state of Colorado. It includes the range of the Rocky Mountains that gives it its name, as well as the Eastern Slope with communities in the eastern foothills of the mountains.
Other destinations
This region takes its name from possibly the best-known sub-range of the Rocky Mountains in the United States, so called because it was the first range encountered by historic settlers as they moved in from the east. However, the region also contains other mountains. In Colorado, the Rockies consist mainly of two broadly parallel ridge lines running diagonally across the state, with high mountain parks (valleys) between them, and it's convenient to treat both the mountains of the Front Range and also the Gore and Park Ranges (two of the "rear" ranges paralleling the Front Range) as part of the region, along with the intervening parks and a few cities in the foothills that some other sources call the Eastern Slope.
The mountains in this area, with a few exceptions, are generally not as high as the southern extension of the Rockies or the geologically distinct San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado. However, they're still high enough to get serious winter weather, and winter sports are important here, with several world-famous ski resorts as well as Rocky Mountain National Park. East-west routes through the mountains are relatively few and far between, and generally go over high, rugged passes that may close for a while in the winter (and tax the cooling systems of passenger cars in the summer).
Region boundaries in Colorado are indistinct, and sometimes contentious. If you're looking for a destination/attraction that you think should be in this region, but can't find it, check the pages for Northwestern Colorado, Eastern Plains (Colorado), Denver Area, and even South Central Colorado and Southwestern Colorado.
English, although you may find all manner of languages spoken at the ski resorts. Interpretive materials in several other languages are available at Rocky Mountain National Park.
