Lafayette rolls to 28-7 win against Grafton
The interruption brought no pardon for Grafton. Lafayette needed just one spectacular play to regain the momentum it generated in nearly a quarter of play Friday, and used it to roll to a 28-7 victory over the Clippers in their Bay Rivers District...Tags: Thomas Smith

Neighbors stop a burglary with a pitchfork.
It happened Saturday in the 2600 block of South Cheyenne. That's near Pawnee and Hillside.
Neighbors say they saw two teens inside a home where no one was supposed to be inside.
Officers were able to catch the teens thanks to a pitchfork.
"They took their opportunity, trouble is, it was the wrong time to take their opportunity," says Robert Craig who chased the teens out of the house.
Robert and his work partner, Joe Moore were getting ready for a job when they got the call.
It was a neighbor girl who called them to say she saw strangers inside another neighbors house.
Thinking quickly, the landscapers grabbed the only weapons they had: a shovel and a pitchfork from the back of Robert's truck.
The teens took off running, so did Robert and Joe.
"Tell me, what did you do?" asked Eyewitness News Reporter, Sia Nyorkor.
"I'm nervous. I'm on the phone with 911, I'm getting ready for someone to come over, I'm like, there they are, they're coming over now! I grab my pitchfork, I'm ready to throw it, he's down in the ravine, I just keep running. I'm past the fence, he's down and I go like that!" Moore says, demonstrating how he chased one of the burglars.
Joe says he's thankful he didn't actually hit anyone.
Police got there and arrested the teens. They were hiding in the neighborhood.
Robert says the true credit goes to the little girl who saw something suspicious and called for help.
"She told me exactly, I see robbers, I see robbers, they're in the window. She deserves 100% of the credit," says Craig smiling.
The whole neighborhood is reacting.
The Bennett boys live across the street. They have their own idea for punishment.
"I hope they make them clean it up because we do know they've already been arrested so make them to clean it up," says Montana Bennett.
Police say the teens ransacked the woman's house.
Neighbors tell us she's an elderly woman who recently took a fall and is away at rehab.

Crucial's 16GB Ballistix Tactical has a nice surprise
Subject: Memory | November 30, 2012 - 02:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: crucial, Ballistix Tactical, 16GB, ddr3-1600
It is a nice change when a company understates the performance of their product instead of barely living up to their promises. Such is the case with the dual channel Crucal Ballistix Tactical 1600MHz kit, at least the one that Funky Kit benchmarked. They hit 2133MHz and kept the timings at 9-9-9-24 1T, not bad for DIMMs which are billed for 8-8-8-24 1T@ 1600MHz! Even better these DIMMs are very low profile, so even on boards with the DIMM slots clustered around the CPU socket you won't be limited in your choice of oversized CPU coolers. The full review is available here.
"This has been some fun memory to play with, it's ability to hit clocks 50% higher than stock is impressive. It's ability to hit 2133MHz with 9-9-9 timings at only 1.5v is quite impressive."

Big memory from Mushkin ... 16 or 32GB, your choice
Subject: Memory | August 14, 2012 - 04:18 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ridgeback, redline, Mushkin, ddr3-1866, 32GB, 16GB
You can pick up two DIMMs with the 16GB kit or four with the 32GB, either way you end up with DDR3-1866MHz @ 10-10-10-27 running on 1.5v, with a lifetime warranty to boot! When Overclockers Club went to work the two kits did end up showing some difference as the 16GB kit hit 2288MHz @ 11-11-12-28 2T while the 32GB only managed 2202MHz @ 11-12-12-28 2T. If you check out the Mushkin Redline series on NewEgg you will see a wide variety of models, so pick the ones with the lowest latency for the best performance out of the box as well as more overclocking headroom.
"Looking at these two kits of memory from Mushkin shows that it has another pair of kits that deliver performance indicative of their specifications and more. First up are the distinctive good looks and functionality of the cooling solutions employed on each kit. The 32GB kit part number 994071 uses the "Ridgeback" design. This robust heatsink package uses a series of angle shaped (think Mushkin logo) fins on top of a thick body to effectively wick away the thermal load generated by these high density modules. Packing them into a four DIMM configuration like used in the testing will allow a higher heat load to be retained but is nothing to be concerned about. Using an air cooled CPU cooling solution would fix that issue as once air starts moving over the modules they cool down fast."

Memory? Why?
Aaah memory. It has been some time since we last had a memory review, and for good reason. Memory got pretty boring. Ten years ago this was not the case. DDR was just fresh on the scene and we were starting to see memory speeds and bandwidths get to a place where it would have a significant effect on performance. Latencies were of utmost importance, and the fastest 18.104.22.168 DIMMs running at DDR 400 speeds were often quite expensive. Then things sort of mellowed out. DDR-2 did not exactly bring faster performance over DDR initially, and it was not until DDR-2 800 and 1066 speeds that we actually saw a significant boost over previous gen DDR 1. DDR-3 brought even more yawns. With the jump to integrated memory controllers from both AMD and Intel, DDR-3 speeds were nearly meaningless.
The primary reason for this rather vanilla time in the memory market was that of individual bandwidth needs for CPU cores. Most research into this issue points to an individual CPU core needing only 3 to 4 GB/sec of bandwidth to support its data needs. AMD and Intel have gone to great lengths to increase the efficiency of not only their memory controllers and prefetchers, but also the internal caches so fewer main memory accesses are needed. So essentially a quad core processor would really only need upwards of 12 to 13 GB/sec of bandwidth in real world scenarios. DDR-3 1333 memory modules in a dual channel configuration would be able to support that kind of bandwidth quite easily. So what exactly was the point of having faster memory? Also, CPUs using DDR-3 memory are not as sensitive to latencies as we have seen in previous generations of parts.

Market Morning: Greece, Moody's Dent Stocks
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures Thursday suggested Wall Street would open lower and European shares dipped on rising uncertainty over whether Greece would receive the funds needed to avoid default next month.
Asian shares ended Thursday with declines. Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 0.2% to 9,238.10 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.4%.
In the U.S. on Wednesday, stocks closed lower on reports that Greece's creditors were delaying the country's bailout.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 97.3 points, or 0.8%, to close at 12,781, suffering its worst day since Dec. 28. The S&P 500 slipped 7.3 points, or 0.5%, at 1343. The Nasdaq fell 16 points, or 0.6%, to 2916.
The U.S. economic calendar Thursday includes weekly initial and continuing jobless claims at 8:30 a.m. EST; housing starts and building permits for January at 8:30 a.m.; the producer price index for January at 8:30 a.m.; and the Philadelphia Fed regional manufacturing activity survey for February at 10 a.m.
The credit ratings of Morgan Stanley (MS) , UBS(UBS) and Credit Suisse (CS) could be cut three notches by Moody's because of the risks associated with the eurozone debt crisis.
Moody's is reviewing the long-term ratings of 17 global and 114 European financial institutions. The ratings agency said the "guidance is indicative only."
General Motors(GM) is expected by analysts Thursday to earn 41 cents a share in the fourth quarter, down from profit of 52 cents a year earlier.
Problems in Europe for automakers are being overshadowed by continuing gains in the U.S., but GM's European losses and its response to them are expected to shape the market's reception to GM's fourth-quarter report.
U.S. lawmakers said they have reached agreement on compromise legislation extending payroll tax cuts and benefits for the long-term unemployed through 2012.

Re: Electra Bicycle PicsCurrent ride is a Coaster 7 that I got in 08:
After seeing some of the bikes here, I'll be putting together something soon. (Past bikes: Felt 1903, Townie Balloon 3i, GT Avalanche, Schwinn Typhoon)
Re: Electra Bicycle PicsCurrent pics of my Rat Rod. Added the apes, red chain, new stem and headlight. Bike is very comfortable with the apes. Next mod will be a suicide shifter.

Re: Electra Bicycle PicsSorry for the mess, I was in the process of changing my home theater setup
Back to black.. Looks much better than with white wall tires and white brake/nexus cables, simple dual color schemes are way better than 3-color ones. In the end I really regret getting rid of that primer red Rockabilly paint and graphics, but.. meh.. it's too late
Re: Electra Bicycle Pics@lmarkos,
Which rims and wheels are that, looks great!
Thanks You mean rims and tires? Rim is 56mm wide, painted flat black, bought them @ classic-cycle.de, they don't have them anymore. Tires: 24x3 Electra Fatti-O.
Re: Electra Bicycle PicsI recently scored this sweet Electra Super Deluxe with a unique cream/metallic green paint scheme. It's one of only two that were made, one men's and one women's. It's only a couple years old, but it rides like it's brand new so it immediately became the luxury liner of my cruiser fleet!

Re: Electra Bicycle PicsUpdated pics of my Rat Rod. Moved the shifter to the frame and added an Electra leather roll bag. Just about done with the mods on this one.
Re: Electra Bicycle PicsI wanted to make the bike as long as possible so I lengthened the chain to get the back wheel all the way back in the dropouts which made the bike a little longer and lower.
Re: Electra Bicycle PicsUpgraded to Nexus 7 rear, and Sturmey drum front. Wheels were laced using 3L-3T pattern, with 2 different color spokes.
Re: Electra Bicycle PicsLong time lurker, first time poster.
Here's my Lakester (sorry for crappy iPhone photos), that has recently went through it's first customization. Changes include: — Installed a triple tree chrome fork — Removed back wheel fender — Replaced stock pedals with Exustar e-pb56 — Replaced stock rims with black 24x2,5 inch ones — Installed a double kickstand — Installed a Cateye rearlight — Installed a ring bell and little rear-view mirror Next time I'm going to replace stock saddle, add some headlights, toolbag and paint it partially white or black (haven't decided yet). Also planning to replace Shimano drum brakes with some good disk ones.

It looks like some apologies might be due in Joe Wilson's direction if certain Democrats have their way.
Why is that? Because after months of denying there would be a move to add illegal aliens to any government subsidized health care, the mask came off this week as Democrats moved to specifically include illegal aliens in the pending health care bills. [3]
A large group of House Democrats are working to amend the House healthcare bill to specifically include subsidized coverage for illegal aliens. And the radical group LaRaza is calling on its members to contact Senators and "flood their voicemail" telling them to do the same - and drop any mandatory citizenship verification for coverage.
And they're in a hurry too.
They just rejected a Republican proposal to have at least three days to review a final bill - and they stopped a proposal to actually have the bill written out in legislative language BEFORE it gets voted on.
What they want it clear. They want to ramrod an end product that will be full-blown, government run "Obamacare" - which will include illegal aliens.
During August conservatives brought tremendous pressure on Congress. And support for government run healthcare is at an all time low.
But public opinion is one thing. They need to hear your opinion. Let them know you're a registered voter. And let them know how you feel.
TAKE ACTION: Click here and contact your members of Congress and say NO to Obamacare today! [2]

If Wilson was wrong, why did they change the bill [4]

School safety improvements discussed
Friday, January 4, 2013
ROCHESTER — Thursday night, the Building Committee met to discuss recent public safety improvements throughout the Rochester School District.
Rochester resident Doris Gates asked the committee for an update on the district's space studies, which include the possibility for increasing security at Spaulding High School with mechanisms in place to protect all 55 exterior doors of the old structure. Hopkins said the district is waiting for solid estimates to come forward from Eckman Construction regarding elementary school projects, with an estimate expected to be received by Feb. 1. |

I meant the katakana. Every other character has their name written correctly. Sideswipe seems to be the exception. On the two model sheets and the scale sheet, it is サイドワイプ. Side Wipe.
I just don't figure them spelling it wrong three times. But maybe they did - it comes down to whether or not these sheets are reference for the animators alone, or indicative of official Takara names. Who knows, maybe they just preferred Wipe over Swipe.
Ahhh... Okay. Thanks for the informative correction. Hmmm...
And honestly, Mindwipe is Wipe. And coincidentally, Blot is rumored to be known as Butt there. Which makes me wonder why those two do not have a two-pack reissue.

1. Group of church goers that comes into a restaurant around 1 and 3pm. The god squad will be out of church soon be prepared for the rush.
1. | God Squad | ||
Derisive name given to various religeous organisations that aggressively and proactively campaign for new members to spread their faith. Don't answer the door. The God Squad is out there.
2. | God Squad | ||
Group of young Christians (usually born-agains) who act as a single entity in all things. If one wants to join a soccer team, for example, they all must. If one wants to go to the mall and hang out, they all must.
Members of the God Squad are, as all rampant Christians tend to be, pious and condescending, and will "quote scripture" at you, at the drop of a hat (or f-bomb). Being young, and "God's children" they are very sweet and nice, as long as you are white, straight, and believe in God. Otherwise you're burnin' in hell. At social event:
Chap one: "Bloody hell! She's cute! I'm going in!" Chap two: "Wait, my amorous friend, and stay your hand. Your worthy attempts at love will be fruitless, for she is in the God Squad!" At soccer field: Chap one: "I'm open! Pass the ball! Pass!! SHIT!!!" God Squad member: "You're a poopy mouth. I shun you!" At bar after the game: Chap one: "Where's _____? Why doesn't she hang out with us?" Chap two: "She's over in the non smoking section with the rest of the God Squad. They don't want to sit with us because we swear, smoke, and drink, and find everything we do offensive." Chap one: "Ah. Fuck that, then." |
3. | god squad | ||
"christians" that only hang out with other christians and make fun of people that are not christian. they are also best friends with jesus, but you can't be, only they can be. oh yeah, they're better than you at everything, especially life. That dude that sits in the front of class with his bible proudly displayed on his desk, who won't give you the time of day unless your a known christian, and even then he acts like hes more righteous than you. He won't tell anybody about jesus because its a secret club that only he should be a part of.
5. | god squad | ||
A group of christian teenager who try and convert people at their high school. They belive that gods way is the only way. They dont have sex till marrage and try to pervent others doing so, they wave bibles around and wave them in your face, think that they are above everyone else they suffer from the god complex The god squad at our school told us that they could lead us to god instead we showed them hell with the heels of our boots
6. | god squad | ||
Someone of such devout religiousness, they appear to be a member of God's brigade, known as the God Squad. Brings fear to the heart of many atheists. Members are often unfortunate-looking. Watch out, the God Squad is coming for you!
Seriously, it's like every teacher at this school is a paid-up member of God Squad. |
7. | god squad | ||
a campus religious organization She wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with the god squad. After all, she is a secularist.

Girls Basketball: Curran ensures it's Carroll's lucky day
LOWER MERION — Archbishop Carroll was fortunate to come away with a much-needed victory over a Southeastern Pennsylvania powerhouse Sunday afternoon at the 7th Annual Hoops for Hope Classic.
But coming back from seven points down in the fourth quarter against Academy of Notre Dame, whose only loss this season was to the county's top-ranked team, Cardinal O'Hara, doesn't happen by accident. It required a certain degree of perseverance to pull off a come-from-behind, 51-46 overtime victory.
The Patriots (10-3) can thank their All-Delco senior forward, Sarah Curran, who took over late in the fourth quarter. Curran drilled a 3-point field goal, an extremely tough make with Irish forward Ali Abbonizio glued to her. Curran, though, got enough separation to hit the game-tying long ball to force the extra session. The Patriots outscored the Irish in overtime, 8-3.
Curran, who finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds, was selected game MVP.
As exciting as it was for the Patriots to storm back and win, coach Chuck Creighton expects better at this point in the season.
"We got lucky to win the game. Kristie (Costantino) and Sarah made two (3-pointers) that were very low-percentage shots and they just happened to go in. Rather than being good today, we were lucky," he said. "We've got a lot to learn. We're still a little immature as a team, but we'll get there. We're working toward it. We have to get other girls to step up."
Curran and senior guard Costantino, who scored a season-high 18 points, weren't the only Carroll players to come through in the clutch. Julia Gantz converted a three-point play that knotted the score at 35, capping a 7-0 Carroll run. Gantz had struggled with turnovers and missed assignments, so capitalizing on the chance to redeem herself was special.
"It meant a lot to me because now I can have the confidence to make those big shots," said the sophomore Gantz, who transferred from Haverford High before the start of the school year. "Mr. Creighton is always saying that if you have the right shot, be confident and don't be scared to shoot it. So, when I have the chance to shoot it, I was confident it was going in. It was big for me."
On the ensuing possession, Kathleen Fitzpatrick hit one of her game-high four 3-pointers to give Notre Dame the lead once more. Fitzpatrick was well on her way to garnering MVP honors. She scored 16 points, hauled in eight rebounds and came away with five steals. It just wasn't enough.
The Irish (14-2) had possession with less than a minute remaining. Intent on running out the clock and forcing Carroll to foul, the Irish were called for a three-second violation. That put the game back in Curran and the Patriots' hands, and they didn't squander the second chance. Continued...
"We did get lucky to an extent, and we didn't run as well as we should have and we didn't execute, but we gutted it out and never gave up," Curran said. "That is why we won. Me and Kristie stepped up, which is what we needed to do. As seniors, that's what we have to do if we're going to win these games against great teams."
The Irish shouldn't have allowed Curran to get off a shot. Their failure to foul in that spot ultimately cost them the game.
"We go up by three with eight seconds left, we should have fouled to put them at the foul line (instead of) giving (Curran) the opportunity to tie the game. The coaches take responsibility for the loss," Notre Dame coach Mary Beth McNichol said. "We should have called a timeout, fouled them and let them go to the foul line. That way we would have inbounded the ball ... and let us decide the game, not let them decide.
"We shot 16-for-56 from the field. We had one stretch in overtime when we had six clean shots at the basket. We have to put the ball in the basket and we didn't do it. But it was a great game, and I thought our kids played their hearts out."
Carroll trailed by as many as nine points in the second half. Costantino and Curran did most of the damage after halftime. It was, perhaps, their best performances of the season. As a team, the Patriots converted 13 of 14 free-throw attempts.
But there's more work to be done.
"We certainly count on Sarah and Kristie to carry the load, but we have to have other girls step up and be confident," Creighton said. "We have good players, but we have to be more confident. Today we weren't."
Notre Dame guard Megan McGurk scored 14 of her 16 points in the second half.
In other Hoops for Hope Classic games:
Archbishop Wood 38, Episcopal Academy 27 Continued...
The Churchmen struggled to find a groove on offense. They led at halftime, 15-14, but were outscored in the third quarter, 10-3. Megan Quinn led EA with 10 points while Sarah Abbonizio chipped in with six.
Wood's Colleen Young was 7-of-8 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter and finished with a game-high 12 points.
Mount St. Joseph 55, Bonner-Prendergast 45
The Pandas hung tough with the Magic, a perennial District One Class AAAA power, but ran out of steam in the second half.
Alyssa Monaghan put forth another 20-point scoring effort. The sophomore netted a game-high 21 points, while her sister Sarah finished with 11.

Frequently Asked Questions / Types of Cancer
Li Liu, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
My father-in-law was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The doctor recommended hormonal therapy. He is very concerned of potential bone fracture as the side effect of hormonal therapy. Can you help him with this?
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink editorial assistant, responds:
Dear P:
This is an excellent and important question.
The most common hormonal agents used in the treatment of prostate cancer are luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonists, such as goserelin (Zoladex) and leuprolide (Lupron). LH-RH agonists are substances that closely resemble LH-RH, which controls the secretion of sex hormones. However, LH-RH agonists affect the body differently than does LH-RH. LH-RH agonists eventually cause a decrease and cessation in the secretion of sex hormones.
Older men with lower secretion of sex hormones (hypogonadism) more frequently have lower bone density (osteoporosis) than other men of similar age (Am J Med Sci 1992 Jul;304(1):4-8). This association has been used to explain the much higher frequency of osteoporotic fractures in men following orchiectomy for prostate cancer than in similar men who have not been surgically castrated (J Urol 1997 Feb; 157(2): 439-44). However, bone loss following "chemical castration" is poorly defined. One small study from France demonstrated that the use of LH-RH agonists in men induced an accelerated bone loss (J Urol 1999 Apr; 161(4): 1219-22). Some researchers suggested that bone loss induced by chemical or surgical castration in men with prostate cancer might also be influenced by host obesity, older age, and less frequent exercise habits (J Urol 2000 Jan; 163(1): 181-6).
In some men receiving castration therapy for prostate cancer, bone density analysis may be indicated to help evaluate need for interventions designed to diminish the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Unfortunately, the indications for these interventions have not been established and the most appropriated therapy has not been identified to our knowledge. As always, you should ask your father-in-law to discuss his concerns with his oncologists.

Hello everyone,
This is the second time I've tried to sprout these little buggers...and I think I'm doing something wrong.
They keep smelling "sweet" or "soury"...
The last batch sprouted (just little white shoots) but they didn't smell like I thought they would, so I threw them out.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!

1. | Facerape | ||
The act of abusing someone's Facebook account on a computer where they have left themselves logged in. Usually results in a change of status proclaiming their sudden change in sexuality, as well as numerous wall posts to friends containing bizzare messages. I left my Facebook account signed in on Jacob's computer last night and he completely Faceraped me!
2. | facerape | ||
When you leave your Facebook logged in at a public place, someone else goes through your accounts and adds silly groups and changes your status Boy 1: Did you see my facerape today?
Boy 2: yeah saying (girl) had wet herself was so funny Boy 1: All her friends thought it was true as well haha |
3. | facerape | ||
When leaving your Facebook account logged in, a so called friend decides to update your status. Usually to something sexually graphic and inappropriate. I was only away from my laptop for 2 minutes when Sammy decided to facerape me
4. | Facerape | ||
To wipe the palm and fingers of your hand down someone's face, when they are least expecting it. A perfect Facerape is performed from forehead to chin. A reverse Facerape (chin to forehead) has (to my knowledge) never been successfully performed (without causing death, of victim) the girlfriend leans in for a kiss, you pull back and WAMOO; Facerape!
A Friend concentrating way to hard on his game of Call of Duty = perfect Facerape opportunity. Fun for all ages. |
5. | facerape | ||
When a man violates the face of a woman by kissing her in such a fashion that her face feels like it has been raped. Examples of this include but are not limited to; sloppy wet kissing, kisses that miss the mouth region, sucking of ones lips so hard that they turn an unnatural shade of red, and shoving of ones tongue deep into a woman's throat. Men can be faceraped also, but the term "faceraped" is most commonly used by women. Hannah: " I was at a bar last night and this drunk guy attacked me by giving me a nasty, wet, sloppy french kiss!"
Marie: "He faceraped you!" |
6. | facerape | ||
The act of one or both drunks in a bar consistently making out for hours. No matter what song or situation, they continue to make out through the confusion. Through beer breath and goggles, the two continue to be joined at the tongue. Dinger was blacked out last night and faceraped that girl all night long. His tongue must be sore because that was a three hour workout.
7. | facerape | ||
When a girl totally messes up her face with way too much make up, piercings etc. guy: Look at that girl, what a total waste of a face
other guy: facerape.. |

Car rear-ended at Montpelier roundabout
MONTPELIER A female driver was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after her car was rear-ended by another vehicle, which fled the scene, at the U.S. Route 2 roundabout, city police said.
The woman, Susan Shontelle-Smith, of East Montpelier, was driving a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta to work around 6:20 a.m. when a vehicle crashed into her rear bumper and then fled, police said. She was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center after reporting back pain, police said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital later said she was treated and released.
The other vehicle is believed to be a two-tone or dark station wagon, police said. The male driver fled in the direction of Barre and Berlin, police said.
According to police, the woman was yielding to traffic in the roundabout at the time of the crash.

A former Pleasanton police dispatcher pleaded not guilty Wednesday to felony drug possession charges and misdemeanor charges, including conducting unauthorized searches of police databases and making more than 700 annoying telephone calls.

I would have thought the headline should have started with "FORMER Dispatcher" rather than inferring that a present employee was involved.
Posted by Lee, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Feb 7, 2013 at 9:39 am
The article states that she had "one" Oxycodone and "one" morphine pill at her home without a prescription for them. Come on! Many of us have the same situation with old prescriptions that we are no longer taking. The unauthorized search of databases seems to be more of an issue than the small amount of pills. I would question that searching of databases very seriously.

Lee, please don't provide excuses for this illegal behavior. There's a big difference between having left over pills from one of your legal, past prescriptions, versus this case, where the person had drugs in their possession that they never had a prescription for.
No, many of us do not have that same situation........at least not law abiding citizens.
Posted by Cholo, a resident of Livermore, on Feb 7, 2013 at 12:43 pm
Lee is trying to make invisible what has happened so far. Let the investigation proceed. If there is a guilty party, then there will be a price to pay.
stuff happens...i rest my case.

OMG! A student's BFF: Technology puts learning into their hands
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Today's technology changes so quickly, it's challenging to keep up.
However, the younger generation has this well in hand. Kids use computer devices at home, on the run and at school. The Saratoga Springs City School District is giving students technological tools for education, ranging from laptops to portable SMART boards to the latest device — tablet computers.
"The district's started several pilot programs, trying out new technology in the classroom," said David L'Hommedieu, assistant superintendent for information technology and operations. "We've bought pockets of Apple iPads for some Maple Avenue sixth-graders and eighth-graders and for Lake Avenue fifth-graders. The high school's 21st-century Learning Academy program also has iPads."
First released in 2010, iPads have taken the computing world by storm. This tablet computer's user interface is built around a multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard, rather than a physical one. Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity are included, and the device runs Apple's operating system.
With their iPads, students can send and receive email, browse the Internet, take photos, shoot video and play music. Users can enable other functions by downloading applications. The App Store offers more than 700,000 apps by Apple and third parties.
Kids could also access social networking and games via apps, but even the students on the district's technology committee labeled Facebook and Twitter "not academic."
"There are a million apps out there," L'Hommedieu said. "We are finding the best ones to enhance our curriculum."
The teachers whose students have the iPads were assigned their own tablets before the pilot began, said Jody Terry, instructional technologist at the high school. The instructors could then become proficient on the devices and research the apps best-suited to each subject.
Seniors in the 21st-century Academy, a high school program emphasizing teamwork, projects and the latest in educational technology, are enthusiastic about their classes and their devices. These students use iPads for researching political processes and managing their mock stock portfolios.
"The program and the technology are great," senior Joe Miller said. "We all love that we have laptops and iPads, and hands-on learning instead of sitting there being lectured. We're doing things ourselves." Continued...
"It's good life experience," his fellow student, Zach Grandy, said. "Our math is stuff we're actually going to use."
At St. Clement's Regional Catholic School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten to grade five, iPads have been welcomed with open arms. In 2011, donations allowed the school to buy 55 tablets.
"I just bought more iPads for the school," said Stephanie Ryall, who handles technology there. "Now we have them in all our K-5 classes."
The fourth- and fifth-graders each have a tablet for school use. In kindergarten through third grade, each classroom has five. Even the kindergartners handle the iPods with care. Ryall has had only one tablet break.
"We use the iPads for social studies and math practice," she said. "The kindergartners use them to learn sight words. The tablets are also great for storytelling, practice and activities."
One app that St. Clement's has adopted is Scholastic's Storia, a free electronic reader for kids. Besides offering access to more than 1,500 eBooks, the app features learning activities, a dictionary and a highlighter and note-taker.
Saratoga Springs High School is experimenting with online textbooks, calling the initiative the Digital Curriculum Program. A group of 30 ninth-graders who share the same math and earth science classes were randomly chosen through the district's student management system. These kids' backpacks are one textbook lighter this year, as their math books are electronic, accessed through the iPads.
Online schoolbooks are efficient, L'Hommedieu said. Students can access online features that simplify their research and writing. And the district saves money.
Finally, students have less of a physical burden, no small consideration because the average high-schooler carries around 40 pounds of books in a backpack. The iPad weighs only 1.33 pounds, and the new iPad Mini is 0.68 pounds.
So far, students' reactions to the electronic textbooks have been positive, according to Eric Schenone, assistant principal for the ninth grade. Continued...
"The kids are excited," he said. "We've had only two complaints so far, about the challenge of learning to use the tablets."
Another initiative the district is considering is called Bring Your Own Device. Students would be allowed to bring their own laptops, tablets and smart-phones from home and use them only for good during schoolwork. The technology staff is examining the many considerations connected with this possibility.
One concern is for students who don't own any of these devices and would come to school empty-handed. Those kids would use classroom devices, Terry said, but just providing the tools might not alleviate all worries.
"Students who don't have their own computers might feel upset or embarrassed," she said. "Consideration for these kids is our first priority."
Other issues entail installing the best possible infrastructure for the school's technology use. Lucas Manny, the high school's computer support technician, is one of the team who constantly assesses, maintains and updates all the pieces that make up the puzzle.
"School districts don't build new structures," he said. "They build onto what's already there, and what's there is concrete and rows of metal lockers — terrible for reception. So we renovate and make things work with what's here. We're always retrofitting."
The high school will work with a consultant to improve its wireless infrastructure, Manny said.
All the schools have students sign contracts prescribing legitimate use of educational technology. Infractions result in loss of privileges. So far, the students have handled their responsibility well.
"The potential of today's technology is amazing," said Dave Ryan, the 21st- century Academy math teacher. "You're reaching the world. You can be everywhere at every moment."

(sr.com)With MTV's, VH1's and BET's minimized music programming, the rising mogul Nick Cannon saw a void and jumped on the opportunity to fill it.
Sources are saying that Nick Cannon has purchased the rights in a multi-million dollar deal for the classic Soul Train franchise and plans on revamping the show for a modern twist to bring music (especially soul music) back to television. Reportedly, the deal is so huge that the source says Nick "now owns everything but Don Cornelius' remains."
No official announcement has been made, but Cannon is a media mogul who has ties with Teen Nick, MTV and NBC…the idea isn't so far-fetched.

Health care advocate Michelle Katz joined up with the ABC News team and Doug Hirsch, the CEO of the popular app GoodRx to demonstrate how people can cut their prescription bills in half.
According to Hirsch, although the Food and Drug Administration monitors the products, the agency does not regulate price, so consumers have to pay whatever the pharmacy charges — at times a 20 percent to 80 percent price difference for the same drug.
How the app works is patients can type in their needed prescription drug and their location, and the app will look for coupons as well as the best price for the drug in their area. Patients then can download the coupons to their smartphone or print them out from the GoodRx website. The app also provides the pharmacy's number and gives directions on how to get there.
The app was able to save one family $2,280 on their annual medication costs.

A new study in the journal Diabetologia suggests that reducing your sitting time is more important in lowering your risk of diabetes than exercise. This is just the latest in a string of research suggesting that moving around helps your health.
"It looks as if just sitting for long periods of time has a real negative impact upon overall health," said study author Joseph Henson.
The increase in diabetes is obvious in the United States. The number of people with diagnosed diabetes went from 5.6 million to 20.9 million from 1980 to 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This disease is also a huge driver of health care costs in the U.S., according to the American Diabetes Association.
As has been demonstrated in other studies, taking breaks from sitting appears to be associated with better health indicators.
"Trying to move for 5 minutes every hour seems right," Henson said.

the last three ones in this picture and the one under the Moon Ball (2 down from Ultra Ball)
are they from unova? also how do you get them?
Cherish balls(the red ones) are only obtainable by events & are the pokeballs that give-away pokemon are caught in. Dream balls (the last one) are like master balls that only work in the dream world.
EDIT- The yello one (before last) is a friend ball & it is used In the pal park in d/p/pt/SS/hg & always catch the pokemon in the pal park. The one under the moon ball is the gs ball (i think) & is unobtainable in the games, it is an anime ball used to catch Celebi that was to be delivered from proffessor elm to professor oak by ash.
Hope this helps :)
One is a Cherish Ball that you get via Wi-Fi events and another is a Dream ball that you get from Entree Forest

Did you mean?
I will be going to Alaska next month and that leaves only 1 state left that I haven't seen. I'm having difficulty in finding things to see and do in North Dakota. I usually devote 10-14 days to really explore a state. I need to find some interesting places to justify the cost of the flight. I love history, architecture, natural wonders, historic homes, etc. I'm not into night clubs, zip lining, amusement parks, spas or shopping. Can anyone make some suggestions?
what airlines regional or national fly to williston from denver. Thanks Russ

The Motor City has been declared dead more times than Rasputin. But over the last few years, while the news media (and Dutch tourists) were hemming and hawing over a few neglected streets that had started to look more like meadows, a bunch of creative badasses were quietly buying abandoned nine-story buildings, filling them with everyone they knew, and making Detroit actually pretty fucking incredible. Our old buddy Johnny Knoxville paid a visit to the D to explore for himself.

I received this question in my inbox this morning:
Good Afternoon,
I was reading your website and you have a lot of resourceful things/advice. Thank you for helping those, like me, who are clueless out here. I'm aiming to move out to LA by May and trying to apply to places. Anywhere I can get a foot in. I'm interested in film/sports, Don't have a specific specialty though. My interests are broad including production, talent management, PR, broadcasting, and performing. I've looked into applying to Entertainment/Sports firms because I have a Sport/Business Administration degree and was an athlete and it seems like it'll be my best bet. I've been told Agent Trainee Programs are your best bet to network. But other places I've read tat if you don't want to be an actual agent, don't waste your time. I'm moving out there relatively soon so I'm trying to commit and have an attack plan. Any advice?
Also, I'd like to receive the UTA Joblist. I've read that there are tons of assistant jobs, which I don't mind at all. But are these jobs enough to live off of or do you usually need outside financial help? Another job?
Any help or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Well first things first you really should decide what it is that you want to end up doing. There are so many different jobs in our industry and hundreds of different paths to get there. Say for instance that your goal is to eventually become a director. Well then I would suggest working on as many production sets as you can. Start out as a production assistant and learn all the ins of outs on set. From there you can start to move up into different things but I think the most important thing to learn is how the production set functions and how it runs. If you want to be a producer try working as an assistant to one. If you want to edit start working at a post production house as a runner or a production assistant. My point is figure out what it truly is that you want to end up doing and then find the best path that will eventually lead you to that goal.
If you are interested in sports that is a completely different field than production and entertainment in general. I honestly know nothing about that field, so you may want to look into that on your own and decide what is the best path for that field.
With the Agent Trainee programs, they are a lot of pros and cons. They are great if you want to be an agent, because you learn first hand what it takes to be one. I have to warn you though that I have heard some bad things about the program including EXTREMLY long hours and a unhealthy connection to your blackberry.
If you are just looking for networking oportunities there a millions of different ways to accomplish that. The best way to look at networking is to really see it as making friends, rather than making contacts. Your friends will be more than happy to put their neck out there for you to get a job, while a random phone number will not.
On to the UTA job list. This joblist is a highly sought after list in Hollywood that has all of the new assistant jobs. This list is great, however, you have to realize that thousands of people get this list, and even more apply to these positions. Also Hollywood tends to hire from within so most of those jobs are already filled by their friends cousins sister-in-law.
You can make a living off an assistant job just know that it will not be a lavish one. Same goes for any entry level job in this industry. My biggest suggestion is to save as much as you can before you come out to LA, that way you will have something to fall back on when you only make $500 per week.
I hope this helps! Please keep the questions coming.

Aboard the Isabela II (only 1 cabin still available!)
Blue-footed Booby — Photo: Greg Lasley |
This summer VENT will again operate a birding and natural history cruise to the Galapagos Islands, July 18-30, 2013. Featuring a comprehensive itinerary, we'll see the majority of the endemic birds and other charismatic wildlife of this famous destination. Our trip includes visits to all the major islands, and 10 nights aboard one of the finest ships that cruise these waters, the 40-passenger Isabela II. The fee for this cruise is $7,695 per person in double occupancy. Only 1 cabin is still available!
Summer is one of the best times to visit the Galapagos, when the birds are nesting and the weather is good. A sample of the many wildlife spectacles you will experience includes a wonderful variety of seabirds such as Waved Albatross; Galapagos Petrel; Blue-footed, Red-footed, and Nazca boobies; the strange Flightless Cormorant; Galapagos Penguin; Lava and Swallow-tailed gulls; and some marvelous landbirds, headlined by Galapagos Dove, Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos Martin, several species of mockingbirds, and an assortment of Darwin's finches.
As wonderful as the birding is, a trip to the Galapagos is also a general natural history trip. Daily shore excursions will put us in the company of basking marine iguanas, fleet lava lizards, Sally Lightfoot crabs, and sea lion pups frolicking at our feet. Guided interpretive walks will allow us to experience the remarkable botany of the islands and witness fabulous geologic features.
Isabela II — Photo: Ramiro Salazar |
The Isabela II is the perfect size vessel. Spacious outside cabins feature private bathrooms and air-conditioning; three decks offer plenty of public space including a bar, library, lounge, dining room, and sun deck. This departure will be led by Michael O'Brien and Louise Zemaitis, who will be joined by an excellent staff of onboard leaders and naturalists.

"More Molly Harper...please"
I purchased this for the Molly Harper story more than anything and was not disappointed. A cup of humor, a dash of old friends and a pinch of vampire culture - cooking style. It's a great story I've already relistened to it again. I think it's worth the credit for Molly's story alone.
"The Pagan Stone"
The series was written 1-2-3 but should have been written as a continual story line to it's conclusion. Because of this the transitions from book one to two to three were a bit choppy. For this book in particular the individuality based solution/conclusion was illogical; though an explanation was given in the story for this, it just didn't hold up for me.
Yes, but to tell would be giving a major emotional scene in the book away. I will say that there is a sense of conclusion to an open emotional issue that is resolved and though sad, I'm happy it was resolved.
Though the series had some issues for me, I did enjoy it and happy endings always make me smile - so a smile for the happy ending.
"Blood Brothers"
I really liked the Quinn - the main female character. She really comes across as one of those people you want to meet in real life. Fun, happy and cheerful. Out of all of the books in this series I like this one the most for it's romance story.
The only thing that I didn't like about this book was the ending/transition to the next book in the series and the "event" at the end. I felt it could have been more thought out to be more impactful. Also I feel that this series out of all that I've read of Nora Roberts is the worst when it comes to that transition from book to book. The series was written 1-2-3 but should have been a continual story line to it's conclusion making the transitions from book one to two to three choppy and the individuality based solution illogical (though an explanation was given in the story it just didn't hold up for me).
"Loved, loved, loved it!"
I think Sophie Eastlake does an amazing job of narrating this series. Listening to the book is a whole new experience of the story. Sophie is able to express the emotions of the characters spot on which really enhances the characters and enjoyment overall.
Pia, the main female character. Pia is growing stronger side by side with Dragos and Sophie really brings out her feistiness as well as her compassion and love. Sophie truly brings Pia, and all of the characters in this series, to life.
I really enjoyed this book and the series as a whole. I find that Thea Harrison has not only created a wonderful world for her characters, but provides a balance in her characters and story line. There is laughter, fun, adventure as well as bad things that happen that do create sadness and pain. The flow is wonderful and yes, each book has a happy ending in its own way. This book was especially great as it was revisiting Pia and Dragos from book 1 in the series. Like any real relationship the story doesn't end at the mating - life goes on with it's challenges, hopes and dreams and it was a pleasure to listen to a new adventure for them as they continue to grow as a couple/family.
"Good Story, but..."
Food fight! : )
I personally had a hard time with the narrator for this story. I enjoyed the story enough to get the books and read them... but the narrator came close to ruining the audio version for me. His male voices are great, but his female voices are horrible to me.
There were multiple moments in the book that were wonderful and moving. Nora Roberts does a wonderful job of balancing details with the story plot line and emotional flow of the story.
This is a great story that I enjoyed. It is classic Nora Roberts, so expect as such.
"The Underdog"
Underdog, Fighter, Emotional
I liked that the main female character was strong. She's a single mother that has been through hell and she has so much pride and determination. She has her low moments but can really keep her chin up and keep fighting. It's a little heartbreaking to see the amount of pride of determination she has to survive a situaiton that mainly wasn't of her doing.
I'll admit to crying during multiple times during this story. I'm emotional and thinking of a single mother going through so much for things that she really didn't do wrong. It was very heartbreaking for me. I felt that she was doing nothing more than trying to do the best for her daughter with a past that just wouldn't go away and it was hard to endure at times. Though there is a happy ending it was hard to get past all the sadness to feel happy with the happy ending. I think if there wasn't SO MUCH of the hard times I could have been more happy, but I give Marina Adair props for creating a really strong female lead that I feel emotional about and definately was rooting for her till the end.
Aside from the story it took me a bit to get used to the narrator. I didn't favor her normal reading voice, but did enjoy her character voices.
"When Snow Falls"
First I want to say that I beleive all romantic novels should have a happy ending. Yes, the main characters do get a happy ending, but not so for quite a few of the supporting cast. Maybe this is for future stories and maybe not. In any case it left me feeling a little incomplete come the end of the story. I do feel that the first half of the book dragged on a bit. And for being chacters in their 30s it felt like a lot of teenage angst! I rolled my eyes a few times at this as there are scenes where I just wanted to yell "Make up your mind!" Maybe the main character just wasn't strong enough for me. For someone who went through a hell of a childhood and is doing a good job of surviving and striving in many ways, the main character is weak in so many other ways. The narrator did a pretty good job on voices, but her flow was really slow... making a book I already felt was dragging go even slower. I feel this book could be condensed to make a better book, but overall it wasn't bad.
"Fighting to be yourself in a world of fang and fur"
Getting used to this narrator takes a bit of time, but what I do love about her is her distinctive voices and comedic timing. I laughed out loud multiple times at the delivery of the main character's dog! This book especially deals with a bit of higher emotions for the main character than other books in the series and I feel the narrator did a great job of expressing these emotions which makes a big impact on the overall feel of this book. In the series as a whole I feel like the narrator really nailed this one better than those before and I'm looking forward to the books to come.
That's a hard one! I liked how the series got back on track for me from the last book. I was very happy for that. I was REALLY happy for the ending!! I won't give it away but I feel like there was hope and a sense of moving forward for the main character that she needed to allow the series to grow - LOVE! I like that the main character is a fighter. She's not perfect by any means, but she's allowed to have a few moments to be sad and feel what every person does - alone. Then she comes back to fight. She fights for who she is and what she believes in... and how can you not root for that kind of character! I like that the book was multi-leveled with the emotional situation for the main character and the mystery case going on. I felt like this book was a well rounded book and we got to see more into the past of some of the supporting cast that was wonderful. I don't think I can keep it to just one thing I liked best about the story.
I highly recommend reading or listening to this (or any) series in order.
I'm really enjoying this series! I feel like each book moves quickly while still taking the time to get to know the characters and the growing complexities of the relationships as well as the world created for this series. I'm really looking forward to more books in the series to come!!!
"A little of track... but still really good."
In this series, this book rank lasts so far. Please don't take that as discouragement to enjoy the series though, please! (See below comments)
I highly recommend reading/listening to the books in this (and any) series in order. Though I didn't love the main plot of this book there were still important things going on that fall into the main plot of the series overall. This book felt like the series took a left turn and got a little lost before coming back on track for the next book. There are some important things in this book though that impact the world of the series itself and I feel will have more impact as the series goes on. The main character is still kick ass, smart ass and gets herself into trouble along the way so the story is enjoyable... just a little off for me from where I think the series was going (and where I know and like where it goes in the next book).
"Fast paced action with a dash of smart ass"
I have to say that it took me a bit to get used to the narrator for this series. She reads a little too quickly. But getting past that she does a good job on the voice distinctions and catching the overall feel of the attitude and emotions of the main character.
This is a hard one and the reason why is because the main character is VERY strong so the supporting cast really allows the listener to enjoy her more for being the smart ass character she is. I can't point out one person as the story and plot is impacted by so many of the supporting cast but I will say that I have developed a soft spot for many of them.
Yes... and I did. There is a lot of action and the way that the book is written the ending isn't in any way given away so I lost some sleep to learn how the book ended... and started the next book the next day.
This is number 2 in the series and I highly recommend listening or reading the first book. Though explanations are given as reminders through all of the books as you go, it's best to get the full story from book 1 as it's important to get the relationship the main character has with many of her supporting cast.This was a great book and I'm looking forward to more of the series to come!

UNION — One incumbent was unopposed and two were returned to office during Tuesday's elections for three seats on Union City Council.
District 3
Incumbent councilman Keith Henderson was unopposed in his reelection bid and received 418 votes.
District 4
The race for the District 4 seat pitted incumbent Ricky Todd Harris against challenger Kevin Montgomery.
Harris, who was seeking his third term on council, won reelection with 315 votes to 266 votes for Montgomery.
"I appreciate everybody and I want to thank everybody for coming out to vote," Harris said. "I want to thank my family for putting up with me. I want to thank Kevin Montgomery for runing a clean race and I look forward to listening to some of his ideas and anybody else who has ideas."
District 6
The District 6 contest was rematch between incumbent Jim Wilson and challenger Sonja Craig. The two first faced each other in June during a special election fill the seat which had been left vacant due to its previous holder's resignation.
