I Bought My First Lotto Ticket
I bought my first lotto ticket yesterday. I am 40 and I never played the lotto.
I never played the lotto because my dad had a gambling addiction. But I figured it wouldn't hurt this once (I wonder if that is what my dad thought).
Everyone at work was playing too.
Have you ever bought a lotto ticket?

Player Profiles: Rajon Rondo Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by FLCeltsFan 7:32 AM Today we begin the series of player profile articles by the posters from Celtics Green. First up is Rajon Rondo, written by Derrenmatts. Here are Derren's thoughts on the Celtics starting point guard: Written by DerrenmattsAnd now, your starting PG for the Boston Celtics .........RAJON RONDO!!! 6 feet 1 inches, 171 poundsAttended Oak Hill Academy (high school)4th Year PG out of Kentucky UniversityDrafted 21st by the Phoenix Suns, draft rights traded to Boston for a future 1st Round pick.Stats:Points2007: 6.42008: 10.52009: 11.9Assists2007: 3.82008: 5.12009: 8.2Rebounds2007: 3.72008: 4.22009: 5.2Steals2007: 1.62008: 1.72009: 1.9As you can see from the stats posted, Rajon has made yearly progress in each of his 3 years in the NBA. What I'd also point out is Rajon's progression in his role with the team. In his first year, he split time with Sebastian Telfair as the starter. In Year 2, Rajon was the shy starter who immediately deferred the ball to the Big 3. In his 3rd year, he arguably made the leap into the Big 3, making it the Big 3 + Rondo.What can we expect to happen in Year 4? One word: "consistency".Rondo, from his first year in the league, has been inconsistent. He showed glimpses of spectacular play, but it was mixed in with pedestrian games and spurts of invisibility.Last year's playoffs was Rajon's young career in a nutshell. Against the Chicago Bulls in Round 1, Rondo proved up to the challenge presented by future All-Star Derrick Rose. It was an epic battle between the two young PG's, as one amazing play after another kept fans on the edge of their seat, wanting more. Rondo prevailed against Rose, and we moved passed the Bulls into Round 2 against the Magic.Looking forward to seeing more of the surging Rajon Rondo, fans were disappointed as Rondo was outplayed by the lesser talented Rafer Alston. Granted, his ankles were sprained, but this again was the routine in Rondo's game. At times he's unbelievable. Other times, he's anything but.But this year, expect a consistently terrific Rajon Rondo. The games of invisibility will be fewer and further between. Spectacular games will be bunched together more often. And the biggest reason for the consistency in his game will be something he's been missing his entire life--a jumper.Once, Rondo's jumper was so erratic that he'd avoid shooting at all costs. Even if he was open and no other option was available, he'd force the ball somewhere else. Last season, with a summer dedicated towards improving his jumper, his shooting form began to smooth out and his release point became more consistent. At times he looked both comfortable and confident shooting the ball (albeit from certain areas on the court--like the baseline from about 12-15 feet away and the elbows extended) But by year's end, the consistency on his form, and his confidence, had pretty much faded away and once again, he became a liability from the perimeter.There is no doubt in my mind that Rajon has dedicated himself again towards finding consistency with his mechanics, and I'm confident that his hard work will payoff.He doesn't need Ray Allen type consistency--in all actuality, his true shooting percentage (jumpers only, not counting layups and points in the paint) might be in the low 40%. But if he's consistently hitting in the low 40%, that is still a weapon he's never had before--and this will expand Rajon's game and make him a more dangerous offensive player.The other reason Rajon's game will become consistent is "confidence". Every year, Rajon begins to see more and more that he IS an impact player, and quite honestly, one of the best players on the court at any given day. In the Chicago playoff series, Rondo saw (as we did) that he's a major factor in determining the outcome of the game.These kind of moments continue to feed Rondo's confidence, and the more confident he gets, the more aggressive and assertive he becomes. This is good news for us, but bad news for opposing teams.What I'd like to see Rajon improve onRondo is still ironing out his game, and has areas to improve. The top 3 things I'd like to see him get better at are:1) learn the art of the pull up jumper. This is the single most important offensive move a PG should have down pat. Without it, pick and rolls lose half its effectiveness. With it, defenses are at your mercy (if Stockton didn't have a pull up jumper, he would not be the all-time leader in assists today).2) perfect the tear drop floater. Rondo is already an effective penetrator, and perfecting the tear drop floater will allow him to exploit soft spots in the defense. As we have seen from other great PG's (Isaiah Thomas, Stephon Marbury, Chris Paul), the floater is a crippling move that stifles interior defenses. Done right, it can't be stopped.3) stay in front of his man defensively. Though Rondo is among the NBA's top steals men, he often gets his steals by allowing his man to get passed him so that he can swipe at the ball from the behind. Its a hit and miss technique, and quite frankly, I'd rather he just stay in front of his man and prevent him from getting to where he wants to go. Rondo's certainly quick enough to stay in front, but his problem is he's just thinking about getting the steal.Prediction: 14.5 ppg, 10.3 apg, 3.6 rpg, 2.2 spg and 1st year voted onto the All-Star team.Along with Devin Harris of the New Jersey Nets and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Rajon Rondo will be vying for the top PG spot in the Eastern Conference. [Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!] Comments: Hey, what's that color on his shirt?I love rondo.He might be our best player this year.BTW, i sent you an email to your aol account # posted by Lex : 8:50 AM Great highlights.I really think Rondo was the best point guard in the east last year. If he gets even better, the Cs are gonna be really, really good. # posted by Lex : 8:52 AM I answered it I think. Let me know if you don't get it. # posted by FLCeltsFan : 11:19 AM I'm pretty excited to see what Rondo can do this year. Several of the league's top PG's including John Stockton, Steve Nash, and Gary Payton made a big jump in their 4th seasons, and I foresee Rondo doing the same. He certainly has the drive and talent to do so. # posted by FLCeltsFan : 11:25 AM Nice articleOur whole starting 5 has a chance to be all-stars this year. My prediction: KG is voted to start and Pierce, Rondo, and Perk are added to the team. # posted by johnnyrondo : 1:06 PM He's such an exciting player to watch. He's at his best when he lets his instincts take over.With the amount of perimeter scorers we'll have waiting for the ball (KG, Pierce, Ray, Sheed, Baby, Eddie, etc), I foresee Rondo being a double digit assists guy. # posted by Derren.Matts : 1:25 PM It will be tough for Perk to make the AS team, although he deserves to be on it, with Shaq and Howard. They will more than likely make it ahead of Perk even though Perk is better than Shaq at this point of their careers. It is mostly out of respect for his career that they put Shaq on now. # posted by FLCeltsFan : 1:48 PM Hey FL, Can I use this video on CelticsLife for tomorrow's Video of the Day? # posted by JR : 7:19 PM Post a CommentThis blog does not allow anonymous comments.

All Violets offered on this page are fully hardy perennials with nice foliage and showy flowers. Several species are suited as excellent ground-covering plants. Most members within this broad family grow well in any rich, well drained, and slightly moist soil during summer in a partially shaded to sunny position. A small group of utmost beautiful and very rare species with rosulate leaves (i. e. with leaves arranged in a dense basal rosette), which are native of subalpine regions in South America (Viola section Andinium), as well as most other subalpine members, such as Viola cheiranthiifolia and Viola palmensis, both native of the Canary islands, require especially in winter a good protection from excessive wetness. These species are best grown under cold glass throughout the year with a layer of grit sand or crushed lava around their base.
Sow flat at some 5°C to 15°C from autumn to late spring. Seeds require a cooling period for several months prior to germination. As it is the case in many hardy perennials, if seeds are sowed too late in the year, most will not germinate before spring the following year. Transplant seedlings in early summer or as soon as plants are strong enough. Some may flower in summer the same year already, some may need another year. Several species have two flower seasons, a major one in spring and a second, minor one in late summer, which greatly depends on weather.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6 unless stated differently.
20 seeds per package unless noted differently.

- In This Feature
Sore nipples are the result of a poor latch. Most women may have some baseline nipple tenderness after delivering their babies due to hormonal changes. Add on top of that eight to 10 nursing sessions a day, and that tenderness may turn seriously sore!
If your nipples are reddened, cracked, bruised, or even bleeding—get help! This is not a normal part of breastfeeding. The best cure for sore nipples is correcting the latch! But if you have reached the point of more than normal discomfort, try the following.
Sore nipple remedies:
- Work with a lactation consultant to fix the latch.
- After nursing, rub some colostrum or breast milk onto your nipples and allow to air dry.
- Change your breast pads between feeds so your nipples are not constantly wet.
- Make sure your bra is comfortable and not too tight, which can further irritate your nipples.
- Apply a lanolin-type nipple ointment sparingly to nipples after nursing.
- Start nursing on least sore side first.
- Try a hydro gel pad specifically made for sore nipples, which is worn over the nipple and areola and held in place by your bra. (Follow directions on package for use.)
- Vary your positions for feeding: cradle, football, side lying.
If these methods don't help, your lactation consultant may recommend the following sore nipple treatments:
- Rest your nipples and pump for a day or so to allow healing if the cracking or soreness is severe
- Use a nipple shield—a thin, silicone artificial nipple that fits over your nipple. It may take the edge off the discomfort of latching and feeding with sore nipples. (This should be used with the guidance of a lactation consultant to insure that Baby is getting enough milk and not causing further damage to your nipples.)

Plant-in City is a collaboration between architects, designers, and technologists who are building new ways of interacting with nature. Our 21st century sculptural terrariums combine modular architecture, basic laws of physics, embedded technologies, and mobile computing to construct a "Plant City" where the aesthetic meets the pragmatic.
Each frame is made with cedar wood and copper piping, with digital sensors and integrated lighting controlled by smartphone app. The plants live in an artful structure that's nearly self-sustaining. After all, plants improve our quality of life and nurture us on an everyday basis; we think it's only fair to nurture them in return.

After assembling this winch I began by using it to haul trees. Nothing new for using a winch the trees were small to medium trees no more than 8inches in diameter. After using it for two pulls of only 50 feet at a time. A light load by any stretch of the imagination. The rubber boots began to melt and smoke. Later investigation I read the owners manual and the Winch has Duty cycle of 45seconds! After that you must let it cool for 14.45min. This isn't even enough time to get the line fully spooled in.

Good winch, no complaints
By SR2K
from Rochester, NY
About Me Diyer, Truck Enthusiast
Comments about BADLAND WINCHES Off-Road Vehicle Winch with Automatic Load-Holding Brake:
Bought this winch for my 1999 F150. The install was a little bit tricky, being that I was installing it inside the bumper of my truck, and the fact that the winch weighs 80lbs, plus the mounting plate, made it hard to maneuver into place. Once it was installed though it has been a great winch. It can easily pull my 7,000lbs truck with the wheels locked, as well as being great for pulling trucks and tractors out of mud. I have no doubt this winch will be able to whatever I ask of it.

I bought one used and beat to heck off [@] last week. Mounted it and used it back in the woods to see if it was good like seller stated. I honestly believe that my push bars and frame of the truck would rip apart before the winch gave out. LOLpulled my 5000 lb truck UP a 40 degree incline, with brakes locked and a bed full of firewood,,,,,I say it will do anything I would EVER need it to do!!My pushbar setup.....( custom made 1/2" steel pushbar plates with 4 inch square tubing that is 1/2" thick also, welded solid and solid to the frame, the pushbar weighs 150 lbs alone)Very happy with my 9000,,,,now the 12,000 lb winch and using a double line,,,,is used for what?...(bulldozers?)

Well, I started with with one and got a great deal. The winch I bought at the store did not work well of the box, so I switched it out (After 90 days). The new one I received has pulled out several trucks/jeeps/suvs of all sizes. Saved me where jeep was completely on frame in mud (2 trucks attempted to get me out) I've had it for a few months, and it's payed for itself.I'm happy with my purchase and will continue to run this winch until my budget increases.

Hazel Mary Alexander
Hazel Mary Grace Alexander, 101, passed away peacefully at home in Lake Wales on Saturday, Oct. 20,
Hazel Mary was born in Gardendale, Texas, on March 9, 1911.
Three years later, her family moved to East Glacier, Montana where her father served as the station agent for the Great Northern Railroad.
Hazel Mary attended school in Spokane, Wash., where she graduated as valedictorian at 15. The family then moved to St. Augustine, Fla., and she enrolled in Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee.
Following two years in school, one year teaching to earn enough money to finish her last year in college and her final year, she graduated from Florida State College for Women with a baccalaureate degree in English at age 19.
During her senior year, she attended the Sorbonne in Paris where she earned a certificate in teaching Spanish and French.
In 1931 she began teaching languages at the Lake Wales High School where she also served as class sponsor for numerous classes, directed class plays, supervised the publication of the school paper and Crown Jewel yearbook, and advised the Spanish Club.
In 1961 she retired to pursue other interests with her husband, Hugh B. Alexander, family and friends.
Her life was filled with countless interests including reading, square dancing, traveling and cooking. She loved music, sang in church choirs and played piano and organ. Her artistic talents became apparent in the creations she made in pouring and painting porcelain, sewing, knitting, needle pointing and quilting. Throughout her life she shared her talents by teaching others and inspiring them to pursue excellence. She had an indomitable spirit, a positive attitude and set an incredible example for all those with whom she came in contact. She loved and was devoted to her family and students, inspiring each one with the importance of learning and encouraging each one to do their best.
Hazel Mary was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Frostproof.
Community activities included membership in the American Association of University Women for more than 50 years. In 1996 she received the AAUW Lake Wales' Branch Foundation Award. During her AAUW presidency which was 1956-1958, she led the successful effort to build the building that still houses the Lake Wales Library.
In 2006 Hazel Mary was the first inductee into the Lake Wales High School Teachers Hall of Fame and was named Pioneer of the Year by the Lake Wales Historical Society. In 2011, she was recognized by her alma mater, FSU, with a brick naming her a Centenarian installed at Westcott Plaza.

The Belgian manufacturer opened its Rome plant a little more than 40 years ago.
Leo Leander Bekaert founded Bekaert in 1880 in Zwevegem, Belgium.
The company came to Rome in 1969, according to plant manager Gary Downey. The company has a presence across the globe, serving customers in more than 100 countries.
The Rome plant manufactures bead wire for automotive tires as well as hose reinforcing wire used in hydraulic hoses.
Downey, who came to the Rome plant from another company plant in Dyersburg, Tenn., said the future looks good for Bekaert.
Revived reliance on domestic supplies
"The interesting thing about the tire business is that we're starting to see a bit of a resurgence," Downey said.
He said there's beginning to be a shift from the era when all the focus in the industry seemed to be on plants announcing that they were planning to shut down, outsource work or build new facilities in China.
"Here the last couple of years, almost all of our customers have announced either brand new tire plants or expansion of existing plants, which is excellent to see that market coming back to the United States," said Downey.
During its heyday, the Bekaert plant employed close to 600 workers. While not citing a specific number, for competitive reasons, Downey said the number of employees is significantly less than that today.
"That just reflects a change in the business," he said. "We had some consolidation of businesses and that sort of thing. Obviously we've become a lot more efficient too."
Why has the situation for tire makers changed in the United States?
Downey feels a lot of Bekaert's customers don't want to deal with the supply chain issues.
"If you're ordering something from China, you've got two months of material that could be sitting in a Chinese plant, on the water or at a port," he said.
If a company makes a purchase directly from an offshore supplier, they take ownership of the good at that spot, he said.
So, the whole logistics issue can be very expensive with ships getting tied up in stormy seas, or having to deal with labor issues in certain ports.
"If you have something like that happen, and you're depending on that ship to show up and offload what you need to make your products, that's scary," he said.
Modernized production, products
Downey said changes in the automotive industry also are prompting some changes in production for the local plant.
"The push for more fuel-efficient cars results in a lot of automobile manufacturers trying to use lighter-weight materials," he said.
"Obviously they'd like to lighten the tire up, so they try to get by with less weight in terms of steel in the tires. In order to do that, what they do is go to a smaller diameter wire."
Those are the types of changes that impact Bekaert.
"You end up with a tire that's just as good, but it's got less steel in it, which lowers your cost and helps with the fuel efficiency as well," Downey said.
The industry Bekaert serves is extremely competitive, yet Downey said he sees some real opportunities for Bekaert with the expansion of the tire plants in the U.S.
"They are going to be needing more wire going forward," he said. "I think the hose market — we have a pretty good share of the hose market, and they seem to be doing fairly well, so I feel pretty good."
The Rome plant manager said Bekaert exports some of its finished goods, but 98 percent of its business is domestic. Raw materials are sourced both domestically and from import markets.
The company, however, faces challenges like any manufacturer and is continually looking for a new edge.
"We're always looking to reduce our cost and improve our quality and service to give our customers a reason to buy from us," Downey said.
The company also has maintained an excellent relationship with its workforce, which is represented by both the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers and the industrial division of the Communication Workers of America.
And Bekaert has been a leader in recycling.
The company has its own water recycling operation that has reduced its water intake from the city of Rome significantly over the past decade.
Downey said the company also recycles the cardboard boxes it ships its product in — asking customers to return them.
"We've done some recycling with a local vendor, so that instead of trash going to the landfill it's being recycled," he said. "We're trying to be as environmentally good citizens as we can."

Levine (R-Bethpage), right, is congratulated by Lieutenant Governor Malcolm Wilson following'Governor Rockefeller's action in signing Levine's drug labeling bill into law. The measure, sponsored by Assemblyman Levine, will go into effect Sept. 1 and requires that the brand name and strength of the drag be contained on the label of all prescription A pharmaeeuucal profile will accompany every vial of prescription drugs filled on and after Sept.

"In the past,-said Assemblyman Levine,. "chronically ill individuals under constant daily medication have actually lost their lives because; while un-conscious, other physicians have unwittingly administered medication. which, was either lethal in combination with the drug already ingested or which fatally aggravated-existing maladies. Rapid identification of drugs will indicate the presence of illness to physicians and will keep them from introducing material which could provoke a physical crisis. "The drug labeling- law will also be of tremendous benefit in treating young children who accidentally swallow potentially lethal doses of drugs. Immediate antidote treatment will save many young lives in these situations because, drug identification will be made instantly. "Besides the public safety precaution inherent in this new law," concluded Levine, "in- . creased consumer protection will be provided! because, along with another new measure requiring • the price-posting of the 150 most frequently prescribed drugs, consumers will be able to compare costs and realize appreciable savings,.today when inflation is placing an increasing burden on the consumer's dollar." , -Caso To Plead For Fuel Allotment For County Nassau County Executive Ralph G.

"I want to impress on the Energy Policy chairman the fact that Long Island could face a winter catastrophe if the White House does not reverse its opposition to mandatory allocations," Caso said. The county executive pointed out that more than 90 per cent of. the distributors who supply fuel oil to Long Island's homes, businesses and institutions are "independents" not affiliated with the major oil companies. However, the independents) must get their oil from the major companies. . •Under a system of voluntary allocations, the major oil companies can withhold fuel oil from the independent suppliers. That means that people in their homes, patients in our- hospitals and children in our schools may be facing winter days without heat if the White House leaves us at the mercy of the major oil companies," Caso said. In response to an unusual increase in requests from concerned relatives, the Nassau County Department of Senior Citizen Affairs has issued a series of guidelines for help in choosing retirement hotels and nursing homes. • According to. Mrs. Adelaide Attard, Director of the Department, one of the most difficult decisions which faces a family is' when and where to transfer an older parent from independent to institutional living.. "New methods designed to help maintain individuals in their own homes for as long aspossible are constantly being developed," says Mrs. Attard. "However, the time may come when aging • parents can no longer handle the physical or mental stresses' of . living by themselves. Feelings of guilt on the part of relatives, and of rejection on the part of the elderly can be minimized by careful choice of facilities." In Nassau there are three residence choices open to the senior citizen who can no longer maintain his or her own home, or apartment: 1. RETIREMENT HOTEL OR ADULT HOME: There are;.approximately 30 in Nassau County, with the largest concentration in the City of Long Beach. Rentals (room and board) cost between $250 monthly for shared ac- .; commodations to $8004 monthly for private rooms. Accommodations are not covered by medical insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Under certam^ c i r c u m s t a n c e s , however, residents may apply for Old Age Assistance. These'~r«sidences cater to self-sufficient older "guests," offering comfort, good food and some recreation. There is no nursing or medical care on the premises. Some of these have been approved by the New York State Board of Social Welfare, which means they must meet the State standards of safety, fire protection and offer assistance with bathing,, shaving and personal care. Some of the hotels offer excellent accommodations, luxurious surroundings and planned recreation programs. However, observations by Department of Senior Citizen- Affairs personnel have turned up some undesirable conditions in others such as unkempt and depressing accommodations or inferior food. Too often "recreation" in these establishments consists of T.V., occasional bingo and lobby sitting. Senior citizens contemplating the move to a hotel or adult home should visit several of these before making a decision, as facilities vary greatly. Mrs. Attard urges a walk-through visit and conversation with residents. The following check-list will be helpful during the visit: Is the residence convenient to family, transportation, shopping, medical care? Is the neighborhood safe? Are rooms cheerful, clean and adequate in size? Is there spmeone on staff who will help with the adjustment to hotel living? - Do residents have a voice in planning activities? Is there a supervised recreation program? Are residents encouraged to come and gb at will?, Are residents treated as adults, without condescension? Are you eheburaged to talk freely with other residents during visit? Do outside community volunteers participate in ac^ tivities? Is resident free to leave without. penalty if be chooses? 2. HEALTH RELATED FACILITY (H.R.F.'s): There are presently 8 in Nassau County. Accommodations cost, from $900 per month and-.up. Assistance under the Medicaid program may be available fpr individuals who meet the financial criteria, and who are admitted with a doctor's certification. Health related facilities are appropriate ..for,, those who are able to dress,, "-eatf; and get around^ by themselves, but who require help with personal care. The staff includes aides, attendants and super- "r visory nurses. The Department of Senior Citizen Affairs is advocating for increased building of H.R.f.'s,in% the; bounty in the belief that too many people have been placed in intensive care nursing homes who might do better psychologically and physically if they could function in a more independent atmosphere. 3. NURSING HOMES: There are approximately 30 in Nassau County. Charges run from $1000 and up per month. Assistance under the Medicaid program may be available to individuals who meet the financial criteria and who are admitted with a doctor's certification. Medicare may cover the cost of nursing homes certified as "Extended Care Facilities" if a Medicare patient is first hospitalised for three or more days - provided his physician certifies that Extended Care Facilities are indicated within 14 days of his discharge from hospital. The full bill for covered services may then be •paid by Medicare for the first 20 days, and all but $9 per day is paid up to 80 days after that for a total of 100 days. In Nassau County, the A. Holly Patterson Home in Uniondale accommodates 900 residents. This County home is one of the finest in the country, and serves as a model institution..To be placed on the waiting list for admission, one must have been a resident of Nassau County for at least one year prior to application, and must be financially and medically eligible, as determined by the Nassau County Department of Social Services. Before placing a patient in a nursing home or health related-facility, Mrs. Attard suggests an in-person visit to observe the following: licensed by the State or local government, and is the license displayed?' Are halls and rooms clean, neat and odor free? Is there a Registered or ~ Licensed Practical Nurse in charge? What about the night shift? Can the patient have his own physician? What facilities are available for rehabilitation and physical therapy? • Is there a general home-like atmosphere? Are other patients neat, clean and cheerful? Does staff respond quickly and pleasantly to patient calls? Is the kitchen clean? Are there rails in hallways, grip bars in bathtubs, showers and next to toilets? Is there an automatic sprinkler or fire alarm system? A specially trained staff at the Department of Senior r Citizen Affairs offers a free consultation service for guidance in helping to make the decision between retirement hotel, health related facility or nursing home. A list of facilities in Nassau County is also available through the Department's main office at One Old Country Road, Carle Place, NY, 11514; telephone 535-4414-at its 'Freeport Office, 65 W. Sunrise Highway, telephone 379-5900, Ext. 17, and its Long Beach Office, City Hall, I West Chester Street, telephone 431-1000, Ext. S2u71m. mer School A Success . At Farmingdale U. Dr. Charles W.

Chances are he'll have to be patient with predictions ranging from mid-to-late 2nd round, to maybe not being drafted at all.
Jackson rubbed elbows with the likes of Larry Legend and other NBA coaches and general managers while criss-crossing the country over the last three and a half weeks.
He visited nine NBA teams personally, and he took part in at least four group efforts including the draft combine in Chicago.
His former position coach at Syracuse Bernie Fine thinks Rick has shown enough to make himself worthy of an NBA team taking a chance.
Even if he is drafted, Jackson's chances of making an NBA roster could be hampered by an impending work stoppage, though he's expected to also receive lucrative offers to play overseas.

Successful 2nd Fronius Service Partner Meeting "North"
After the premiere last year, the second Fronius Service Partner Meeting in the far north of Germany was held on January 21, 2010. More than 130 partners accepted the invitation and spent a day in icy cold Hamburg that was as informative as it was sociable.
Ulrich Winter, Sales Director for Germany, greeted the attendees and led the meeting through the morning, during which the service partners were informed about news from Fronius and from the PV industry in technical presentations:
The topics focused on the Fronius IG TL, Fronius IG Plus inverters, and their adaptation to the new Medium Voltage Guideline. Another focus was the BDEW Guidelines for connection and parallel operation of generation systems to the medium-voltage grid.
Of course, Fronius experts took questions during and after the presentations.
In the afternoon, one of the typical tour boats was reserved for the service partners. During the cruise, the captain provided interesting facts about the city, the port, and the new HafenCity. The service partners and Fronius employees used the pleasant atmosphere for conversation and personal exchanges.
At the conclusion with Astra beer and curry sausage, the next Fronius Service Partner Meeting on the vigil of Intersolar was already a fixed date on the calendar for many of the attendees.

10-4A BOYS BASKETBALL: West Mesquite falls to North Forney in overtime; Highland Park edges Poteet
By DEVIN HASSON,
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 1:39 PM CST
Tuesday was not a good day for the Mesquite ISD teams in 10-4A boys basketball.
West Mesquite fell out of a tie for first place with an overtime loss to North Forney, while Poteet slipped a game behind in the playoff race with a tight loss to Highland Park.
The Wranglers let one slip away against North Forney, who was able to pull out a 64-57 overtime victory.
West Mesquite battled back from an early deficit to take a 41-39 lead through three quarters, but North Forney came back to force overtime and then outscored the Wranglers 13-6 in the extra frame.
Braylon Rayson had 18 points, Nate Davis scored 15 and Jalen Etienne added 10 for West Mesquite. Roy Neugent had 16 points to lead a group of four North Forney players in double figures.
Poteet, meanwhile, fell a game behind North Forney with a 43-40 loss to Highland Park on Tuesday. The Pirates, who won the first meeting between the teams, had designs on sweeping the series when they opened a 23-18 lead at halftime.
But the Scots rallied from there, taking control in the second half to move into a tie for second place with West Mesquite.
Chris Murphy had 10 points for Poteet, while Dimitrious Evans and Raffaele Gaines each scored eight.
Carrollton Newman Smith took over sole possession of the top spot in 10-4A with its victory over Terrell.
The Trojans lead West Mesquite and Highalnd Park by one game, with a two-game cushion over North Forney.
The Wranglers are still in the thick of the district championship race, but this week will likely determine their fortunes, as they play at Highland Park on Friday and then host Carrollton Newman Smith on Tuesday.
Poteet needs to defeat Carrollton Creekview on Friday to avoid falling into a tie for sixth place. The Pirates also face winless Terrell on Tuesday.
West Mesquite and Poteet both picked up big victories as the first half of the 10-4A season came to an end on Friday.
The Wranglers held off an upset bid by winless Terrell to pull out a 63-55 victory.
West Mesquite led by five early on but the Tigers outscored them 23-10 in the second quarter to take a 40-32 lead.
The Wranglers responded in the third quarter, though, ripping off a 20-6 run to regain the advantage and they were then able to hold on in the fourth.
Nate Davis scored 19 points to lead West Mesquite, with Rayson and Jordan Johnson adding 15 and 10 points, respectively.
The Pirates faced a must-win situation against one-win Forney and they came through with a 68-56 victory.
Poteet trailed by three after one quarter but took charge during the middle periods, outscoring the Jackrabbits 36-23 and that proved to be the difference in the game.
Raffaele Gaines had 18 points to lead a quartet of Pirates in double figures. Verkendrick Vaughns scored 14 points, with Nathaniel Gaines adding 13 and Khalil Arnold chipping in with 11.
Carrollton Newman Smith 7-1 17-9
West Mesquite 6-2 18-8
Highland Park 6-2 20-7
North Forney 5-3 17-6
Poteet 4-4 9-15

In the wake of 9/11, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security initiated sweeping programs that amount to racial profiling on a federal scale — ranging from suspicionless searches and arbitrary detentions of Arabs and Muslim Americans to counterterrorism financing and material support laws that unfairly target Muslim organizations and charities. No area of American Muslim civil society has been left untouched by discriminatory and illegitimate government action.
The ACLU advocates for an end to all forms of profiling and discrimination, and provides legal support to organizations and individuals who have been victims of racial and ethnic discrimination.

Protecting the Religious Freedom of Muslims (2011 resource): Recently, Muslim communities in the U.S. have faced a disturbing wave of bigotry and outright hostility. From religiously motivated discrimination and attacks on existing and proposed Islamic centers to misguided congressional hearings, Muslims in America are being unfairly targeted simply for exercising their basic constitutional right to religious liberty.
ACLU Seeks Records About FBI Collection Of Racial And Ethnic Data Around the Country (2010 video): The ACLU has asked FBI field offices in 29 states and Washington, D.C. to turn over records related to the agency's collection and use of race and ethnicity data in local communities. According to an FBI operations guide, FBI agents have the authority to collect information about and create maps of so-called "ethnic-oriented" businesses, behaviors, lifestyle characteristics and cultural traditions in communities with concentrated ethnic populations.
ACLU Challenges Government No-Fly List (2011 case): The ACLU and its affiliates in Oregon, Southern California, Northern California, and New Mexico have filed a legal challenge on behalf of several U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who cannot fly to or from the United States or over U.S. airspace because they are on the "No Fly List"— a component of the government's watch list system.
