Illini Ring in New Year With Win Over Penn State
Dec. 31, 2009
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - The Fighting Illini ended 2009 on a high note with a 69-60 New Year's Eve victory over Penn State on Thursday at Assembly Hall. Illinois' three superstars all had a big hand in the victory as Jenna Smith, Lacey Simpson and Karisma Penn combined for 57 points, 31 rebounds and nine blocks. Illinois improves to 9-3 overall and 1-1 in Big Ten play, while the Lady Lions fall to 9-4, 1-2.
Illinois led most of the way, taking control of the game with a 9-0 run midway through the first half to take a 19-12 lead with 11:28 to play. The Illini pushed the lead as high as eight points two times before halftime but Penn State came back to cut the Illini lead to 31-27 at the break. Illinois forced 15 first-half PSU turnovers, but shot just 35 percent from the field.
In the second half, the Orange and Blue pushed the lead to double-figures within the first five minutes, going up 41-31 after a Penn free throw at the 15:41 mark. Later, a 12-2 Illini run, capped by a Smith layup at the 12:08 mark, gave the Illini a 53-37 lead. The Lady Lions would not threaten from that point on.
Smith picked-up her NCAA-leading 10th double-double of the season with a game-high 26 points and 14 rebounds, hitting 9-of-16 from the field and 8-of-10 from the line. While it took her until the final minutes of Monday's game against Ohio State to extend her school-record double-digit scoring streak, it took her less than nine minutes to reach double-figures today, extending her streak to 51 games.
Simpson finished the game with 14 points, six rebounds, six steals and four blocks, but more importantly, combined with freshman Adrienne Godbold to limit Penn State star Tyra Grant to just two second-half points. Grant scored 15 points in the first half, but the Illini duo held her without a field goal after the break.
Penn had a big game in the post alongside Smith, scoring 17 points and pulling down a career-high 11 rebounds for her first career double-double. She also tied her career-high with five blocked shots. Godbold, in addition to her stellar defense, also added eight points, four rebounds and two steals in 24 minutes.
For the game, Illinois had a dominating 32-18 edge in points in the paint and a 20-7 advantage on second chance points thanks to 17 offensive rebounds and a 48-35 overall rebounding edge. The Illini shot 44 percent in the second half and 39 percent for the game, while the Lady Lions shot 38 percent for the game.
The Fighting Illini will wrap up their five-game homestand by hosting the Wisconsin Badgers Sunday afternoon at Assembly Hall at 3 p.m. The Illinois-Wisconsin game will be streamed live on at http://video.bigtennetwork.com for $2.99.

The British civil wars had begun in part as a result of protests (in the English Parliament and in Scotland) against what they saw as King Charles I's attempts to change the Anglican Church in the direction of Roman Catholicism. As the conflict went on, however, the focus of power in the Parliamentarian camp shifted from 'defending' the Church to reforming it in a Puritan direction. By the Commonwealth period, even Presbyterian MPs had been purged from the House of Commons. In April 1650, Parliament passed an Act requiring strict observance of the Lord's Day, and making a failure to do so a punishable offence.

Receive Range: UHF UHF Gain: 23dB Power: 3W Frequency: 470-890MHz Impedance: 75Ù Turning: 360 Max. Output Level: 110 dBµ Working Voltage: 110V/60Hz DC Input: 12 V Is this a digital antenna?Analog and digital signals are broadcast on VHF and UHF frequencies, so all antennas can pick up digital signals. Its more a matter of getting an antenna that covers the frequencies that your stations are broadcast on (VHF/UHF). This is a bit confusing when manufacturers list an antenna as "Digital Ready", or "HD Antenna", but whether they are labeled this way or not, all antennas have this ability.
How much signal will I lose if I put this in my attic?
You will lose 40-50% of your signal strength when placing an antenna in an attic that is covered by plywood and asphalt shingles. Even more signal is lost with foil covered insulation, metal roofs and concrete structures. Beyond a range of 30-35 miles an attic installation is generally not recommended. Because of the high signal loss of an attic installation, an antenna with twice the range is needed to receive the same amount of signal. Digital reception has a much higher threshold of signal strength than analog reception. Do I need a rotator?It depends on how wide a direction your antenna covers. This feature is called the beam width. The average antenna has a beam width of 35 degrees, out of 360. Go to a site like www.tvfool.com or www.antennaweb.org and look at the compass orientation. If the difference in degrees between all your desired stations is great than your antennas beam width, then you will need a rotator. Keep in mind that larger antennas that have a boom length over 131 inches need a rotator that can withstand the windload and torque we suggest the CM9521. What is the difference between a directional, multidirectional and omnidirectional antenna?Directional antennas pick up from a narrow direction usually around 40 degrees wide out of 360 and is best for long range reception. Multidirectional antennas have a wide beam width usually 60-90 degrees, allowing them to receive stations that are coming from multiple directions. Omnidirectional antennas receive signal from all directions, and have the shortest range.

From Nitaqat to Tent City: A look into the Saudi crackdown on illegal workers
More and more undocumented Filipino workers are camping outside the Philippine Consulate in Jeddah and are calling out for mass repatriation even after the Saudi King announced a three-month reprieve on the crackdown against illegal workers in that country.
Pinoy 'tent city' rises outside PHL Consulate in Jeddah. Filipino workers who set up a tent city near the Philippine Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia form a human conveyor to distribute food and other supplies. At least 1,000 undocumented OFWs have camped outside the consulate and are asking to be repatriated for fear of being arrested by Saudi authorities after a recent crackdown against illegal migrants. Bong Concha
Here's a look into the Saudi crackdown on illegal workers and the situation of undocumented Filipinos in that country:
Start of the Saudi crackdown
The crackdown operations started on March 28 this year because of the "Saudization" policy (nitaqat) or the policy encouraging the employment of Saudi nationals in private firms.
Reprieve given by the Saudi King
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah on April 6 ordered a three-month delay to a crackdown on illegal migrant workers that has led to thousands of deportations.
The reprieve, which will end on July 4 this year, aims to give foreigners in the kingdom a chance to sort out their papers.
Filipinos in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, has more than nine million expatriates, including those from Yemen, India, Pakistan and the Philippines.
Saudi is host to the biggest population of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) —about 1.5 million—many of whom are nurses, engineers, architects, and domestic workers.
The Commission on Filipinos Overseas' Stock Estimate of Overseas Filipinos indicates that in 2011:
- there were around 20,000 undocumented Pinoys in Saudi Arabia, and
- there were 1,530,218 legal Filipino workers there.
A 2012 report of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) and the Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration (OWWA) showed that there are:
- 20,000 undocumented workers in Riyadh;
- 10,000 in Jeddah and in the Western Region;
- 300 in the Eastern Region; and
- 100 in Central Region
Punishment for illegal workers
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz urged some 20,000 undocumented Filipino workers to legalize their stay there.
After the reprieve, Baldoz said Saudi authorities will fully enforce the country's labor and visa requirement, and punish violators with steep fines and jail time.
Saudi penalties range from 1,000 to 50,000 Saudi riyals (P11,002-P550,105), Baldoz noted.
No amnesty
No amnesty so far has been issued by the Saudi government, causing undocumented Filipino workers to flock the Philippine consulate, hoping for a speedy repatriation.
However, repatriation in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi takes time. Obtaining a certificate of no-objection from the undocumented worker's former employer — a pre-requisite for an exit visa — is a difficult and complicated process.
Tent City
According to the DFA, some 1,000 OFWs camping outside the consulate, creating a Pinoy "Tent City," as they seek to be repatriated to the Philippines to avoid being arrested when the crackdown resumes.
The migrant workers advocacy group Migrante-Middle East said the undocumented Filipinos started camping outside the Philippine Consulate on April 11, or five days after the Saudi King announced a three-month reprieve on the crackdown against illegal workers.
According to a report in GMA News TV's "Balita Pilipinas Ngayon" on Tuesday, the Filipinos at the consulate have been camping out in hot, dirty, and haphazard conditions, causing some of the children to contract diseases.
'Undocumented children'
According to Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, children, along with their mothers who are undocumented workers, will need to undergo stringent requirements imposed by the local authorities.
Baldoz explained that undocumented workers lack the proper documents — like a marriage contract or Iqama — to have the stay of their children in Saudi legalized. - Andrei Medina, VVP/BM, GMA News

text: dsevans at berndtgroup.net wrote: > I started up jackd and got hydrogen to work. thanks. Dave, As mentioned prior, you may want to turn off the aRts server. From what I understand, it's a sound server that compensates up for any sound card that doesn't allow 2 sounds to be played at the same time. aRts is probly not nessesay. Yet... it could (possibly) introduce latency (and who knows what else). With SuSE/KDE, it's running by default. To disable it, go to... --> Control Center --> Sound & Multimedia --> Sound System --> (un)check the option "Start aRts sound server on KDE startup" If you really want to be safe, reboot to make sure it's off. Hydrogen is very nice, but I had certain issues with it, so I went with a much "cleaner" situation. If I'm not mistaken, I don't think that the version of Hydrogen that comes with SuSE 9.0 allows for any "real time" inputting of notes. I think you only have the option of inputting notes with a mouse. If I'm wrong, then please correct me. But if not, then you have to connect it up to another midi program. This is (not) uncommon practice in the linux/audio world to use programs together like this. It just seems too "kludgy" to hook a "full-blown" program up to another "full-blown" program like this. So what I did was to install "simsam"... Home Page... http://simsam.sourceforge.net/ It allows you to load sound samples and assign them to any key(s) on your midi keyboard. It's much less "kludgy" than using a full blown program like Hydrogen. And unlike (some) programs, you don't have to do anything special to get it to show up in the "kaconnect" window. Just type "simsam" in a shell... start kaconnect and hook it up to a midi sequencer program or your midi keyboard or whatever... Here's the irony... if you want some great sounding sound samples, find the directory were Hydrogen keeps it's sound samples ("drum kits" are *one* compressed file full of samples). You can right click on them in KDE and choose the "extract here" option. From what I remember, that creates a file that needs to (also) be extracted. And I believe that leaves a folder of drum samples at that location. Have fun... Rocco

I recently changed out my spa pump motor. It is a 230v 1.5hp 2 speed pump. It is supposed to start up in the high speed and then you switch it to the slow speed. It starts in the slow speed and runs in the slow speed after it is switched. I tried switching the wires on the motor but it still does the same thing. Being that it is a brand new motor is it possible my control panel is faulty? Is there a way to test the panel to see if that is the problem? I have been on the phone with the pump manufacturer and panel manufacturer and haven't had any luck yet. I am looking for any suggestions.

"Restore The Delta" has recommendations for legislative water solutions
By Gary Bogue
Friday, September 18th, 2009 at 6:54 am in Restore The Delta.
Wednesday, Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, Campaign Director for the organization, Restore the Delta, called on the California Legislature to include 9 ideas in future water package discussions following the failure of the Joint Water Conference Committee to pass a package of water bills during the final weeks of the 2009 Legislative session.
Check out what Restore The Delta has to say in their 9 ideas below and then please add your own comments and let us know what you think about it. Got any better ideas? Thanks. /Gary
White pelicans fly over the Delta. (Joe Oliver/Walnut Creek)
"While we are pleased attempts to rush a package of flawed water bills through the Legislature this session were unsuccessful, Restore the Delta strongly believes a solution is needed to fix California's complex water problems," Barrigan-Parrilla said. "We have always agreed that water is one of the highest priority issues for our state, but it must be done in the right way. We would like to see the following 9 points included when water talks resume."
There has been speculation of a special session on water this Fall or, at the least, continued discussions when the next session begins in January. In either event, Restore the Delta would welcome the opportunity to work with the Legislature to craft a water package that is good for the State and good for the Delta.

Restore the Delta would like to see the following ideas included in any water package as discussions resume:
** 1. A Habit Conservation Planning Process that looks at all the hydrological alternatives: including limited exports, no exports and other alternatives. That process would compare these alternatives using independent science to new conveyance. This process should include Delta representation, fisheries representation, tribal representation, and environmental justice representation at the Steering Committee Level and not just be a process driven by water contractors.
** 2. A full economic analysis of the value of Delta fisheries, farming, and other Delta assets to the state economy.
** 3. A real push for funding local water projects that will create more water for other California communities, including educating Californians on how to alter their water management practices to benefit the State. According to "California Water Solutions Now," a report released in August by the Environmental Water Caucus (EWC), the State "has already developed enough water supplies to satisfy our needs into the foreseeable future by utilizing existing infrastructure and existing cost effective technologies." The report notes that the level of reduction can be "as much as 5 million acre feet a year by 2030 compared with current trends."
** 4. The creation of a Delta conservancy as proposed by Senator Lois Wolk.
** 5. A strengthened Delta Protection Commission.
** 6. A fully funded State Water Resources Control Board, that will enforce water quality standards for the Delta, as well as the superior water rights held by the Delta and in areas of watershed origin.
** 7. Emergency preparedness and flood prevention funding for the Delta – to protect urban communities and assets in the Delta.
** 8. A humanitarian package for Central Valley farm workers that will include emergency aid, economic development and job training for their communities.
** 9. If through these processes, it is decided that some type of new governance is needed to manage the Delta, then this new structure must include adequate local Delta representation to create a viable state-local partnership. Without local support and participation, any new plans and programs for the Delta will not succeed.

"Restore the Delta is optimistic the California Legislature can bring groups together to find common ground on these complex issues," Barrigan-Parrilla added. "But that is true only if they commit to addressing the real water policy issues that impact all Californians. We look forward to working with them this fall and winter."

2012 summer holiday
After a thourogh preparation, .. well it could be better, but i just got to deal with it. A week on the road and it still works, i better write somthing myself instead of lurking in the RR.
So preperation started in december 2010, i bought a honda xr400 and stripped it as soon as i got home. During the winter a xr350 frame was modifyed with parts of the 400. Then a second subframe was added as a luggage rack. I did already buy secondhand touratech alu cases some years ago. During the summer i drove the MS1000 as a test to see if it was as i hoped. It did, but back than i didn't take as much luggage with me as now. The folowing winter the engine was disassembled and the TRX400 quad was stipped for parts. To create a xr400 with e-start and kickstart, you need the cranck-case of the xr, crack of the trx, left cranckcasecover of the trx with the e-start parts, the rest is xr parts. the gears of the trx wer wrecked, so no option for 1,2,3 gear from trx and 4,5 of the xr.
So much for the prep of the machine.
Day 0
I'm leaving my appartment and drive to my mom for the start big trip the next day.
Day 1
From my mom's place i drive the backroads to get to a village in the "far north" wher my grandpa used to live. It's only 150km but that is far away in Holland. Than i drove allong the north shore allong the "waddenzee" this stretch of see that becoms dry at low tide, making it possible to walk to the islands.
Day 2
The wind was strong yesterday, but today even stonger. Driving on the freeway at appropriat speed is a riscy buisiness, backroads again. not that i don't like back roads, it just takes a lof of time. The houses in northen Germany are well maintained and all made of red bricks, it's a nice contrast with the green tree's. When i cross the Elbe river with a ferry, a German on a scooter starts a conversation. he grew up in the area and know it like the back of his hand, but a holiday to mongolia?!..he has to tell his wife and starts a sms.
Day 3
As i stoped before the border of Denmark, driving through it and over the bridges to Sweden is the goal af the day. As i get further east it gets colder and on the last Dannish island my boots fill up and i wonder why i left my airconditioned appartment, it's only 3 day to get home...
Crossing the bridge into Sweden the weather turns dry, for a while. But i made the misstake of not putting the scandinavian maps in the gps and it is hard to find a place to sleep. In the evening it appears the gps cable is still home, but a card reader also works.

Day 4
Drove from Malmo to Rada, Sweden. In Sweden there is Biltema, a shop for man. So i went in spend half an hour in there and came out with one usb cable for my gps. Beceause preperation took more time than expected a make the stops as short as posible. And the result is..yes i droped the bike, at a gas station. I put the bike back with the rubber side down. No damage, except for my knee, but that will heal itself. I'm really happy it's not a 300kg beemer.
After a while cruising the countryside i hear a metallic drop on the asfalt (hmm, i need to inprove on my english). As i turn to look, the tire iron dissapears under a lorry that appears to be hunting me.. I dive into a siderode to turn back. After walking the stretch two times i find my tire iron and the journey continious.
Well, it does but not so good. The gps seems to shut down once in a while. replacing the batteries doesn't help, but they could be empty. When i arrive in Rada i have to find my friends house without navigation, not easy when you have never been there.
As expected a limited amount of views, do to the lame title.
Just the way i like it,
for me the writing is a way to organize the mess and experiance in my head. I hope those who do read it, enjoy it. i enjoyed reading other RR.
Maybe i should tel a litle bit more about the trip...may not. but i can add some pics of where i'm going..
There are issuse with border crossings. Some are open to locals only and some are open for every one. This changes quite often. So for the russian borders, go to www.rosgranitsa.ru and look for multi-lateraal i believe
As i'm writing this in notepad du to the lack of internet acces, misstakes are obvious.
Day 5
A long day, i start driving at 10. A bit late but with propper breakfast. I use a Garmin etrex GPS and set the routing to shortes route. This gives most of the time the most scienic result with a minimum of boring freeways. i could do it better myself but since i'm the driver, i dont read at the same time.
So after warming up the engine in a few km the first 'dirt road' is there. it is more an unseald road as i'm cruising freeway speeds. While i pas a lake, an early short stop is made.
At dinner time some guy aprotches me at a fuel stop and asks if i speak english...apparently he knows a dutch guy 5 miles down the road, owening an off-road tour company http://www.offroadzweden.nl The question if i'm heading that way..no, a bit further. not sure he understands, i move over to the restaurant next door. It lookes more like a nightclub on the inside but they have food. The waitres is as tall as a 14 year old, not what you expect in Sweden...
By the time it is 21:30 i try to call my friend for his adress, he says it won't show in the gps and pics me up in front of the WMCY (accros the street from the train station, but wmcy sounds funnier). since he lives during the week in the workshop (caravan) of the company, i park my bike between electrical city buses and tuned toyota priusses. The only vehicle sound the workshop hears..a thumper! Maybe not, during the tour in the workshop a see another familiar face swaping engines in a 1973 mazda something. He learns the hard way as the valve seats arn't checked and leaking, nice for 2 in the morning. Apperently sleepovers in the workshop common.
sorry no pics allowed, all highly secret and shit.
Day 6
After a short sleep (it doesn't get dark here and there are no curtins in the workshop) i get woken up by a man looking for some capacitor, yes electrical vehicles...
While i make breakkie, the floor manager appears. After a chat i manage to escape the paperwork that says i didn't see anything but i can work one my bike and use all the tools i need. He even says that my friend will help me if nesseccary, nice! So we head to town for some motor oil, the rest of the spares are in the lugage.
When we are back, the CEO enters and ask a zilion questions, but the most remarkeble one..if i can start working for them after my holiday..?! Cool but uh.. i don't know
Day 7
We celebrate the longest day with a BBq at my friend house
2012 summer holiday

Year in Review 2011December 28th, 2011
From Babble Best awards to rave reviews from sites like Cool Mom Picks and Baby Gizmo, 2011 has been a great year for Bumbleride. Here are some of our favorite highlights:
Babble Best Umbrella Stroller-"Out of all the umbrella strollers we tested, the Bumbleride Flite had the best balance between minimalist style and functional features. It was one of the most maneuverable umbrella strollers we tested — riding smoothly, feeling sturdy, and being quite supportive for our little ones." – Babble, http://www.babble.com/products/baby-products/best-stroller-baby-jogger-pram-lightweight-jogging-bumbleride-2010-flite/
Babble Best Luxury Double Stroller-"And if you want to take it shopping, the Bumbleride can comfortably fit through any standard doorway with exceptional maneuverability. Plus, the features are off the charts: Plush seating, cushioned handle bars, an extra large sun canopy and lots of storage make it one of the most comfortable rides we tested. It can also handle uneven terrain and off-road hills better than most." – Babble ,http://www.babble.com/products/pregnancy-products/best-double-strollers-jogging-baby-jogger-bumbleride-indie-twin/
Babble Best All-Terrain/Jogger Stroller-"The Bumbleride Indie was one of our favorite strollers of the year, but since then the brand has released two special editions: the Natural Edition (made with sustainable bamboo and 50 percent recycled materials) and the Movement Edition (designed for a sporty, active lifestyle.)"- Babble, http://www.babble.com/products/baby-products/best-stroller-baby-jogger-pram-lightweight-jogging-bumbleride-special-edition/#blogger
Cool Mom Picks-"When I say I have found the stroller of my dreams, you'd better believe it.Every detail has been carefully executed. While the Bumbleride rolls like a chariot, it weighs in at just about twenty pounds. It is super easy to fold and unfold (promise, I did it several times). It has great storage space, and a super huge sun canopy and a sunroof, too. Score!" http://coolmompicks.com/2011/08/finally_a_stroller_that_gets_i.php#ixzz1hsOLrF00
Baby Gizmo- Top Pick All-Around Twin Stroller- "The Bumbleride Indie Twin 2011 is our TOP PICK! It is not only gorgeous but a practical stroller that is parent and twin friendly. This all-terrain stroller is perfect for twins because:
- It can accommodate 2 infant car seats (Maxi Cosi) at the same time! With twins, how do you choose who stays in a car seat and who gets the stroller seat in the other double stroller options?
- It can accept two carrycots at the same time. Turn your Indie Twin into a double, luxury pram by having your babies ride in style in their own carrycots.
- The seats have flat reclines that you could use the stroller seats from birth for each baby.
The Indie Twin also sports an adjustable handlebar, huge canopies, a large basket and fabulous maneuverability"- Baby Gizmo, http://www.babygizmo.com/news/besttwinstrollers.php
People Magazine Celebrity Babies-"Where do we begin! Gliding with ease when pushed, the fully adjustable seat allows an even cozier ride when baby falls asleep. And while it maneuvers like a dream, it offers a smooth break with a simple push of the foot locking both wheels at the same time.
There's also enough storage room for all your baggage. And to make our hearts race even more, it folds easily, complete with a strap to carry it. With an ample canopy that keeps the sun out, there's also a pocket for storage and a peek-a-boo window so you can see your child.
But most of all, it's made with a super soft blend of recycled and bamboo fabrics which has the natural ability to absorb moisture, regulate temperature and inhibit bacterial growth. So if you're an eco-minded parent, this sleek ride was made for you." http://celebritybabies.people.com/2011/08/29/bumbleride-indie-stroller-natural-edition-review/
Itsabelly Baby Planners- 2011 Seal of Excellence-
"Love it because:
- Exterior fabric is made using 50% recycled material. Seating surfaces made using 50% bamboo fiber for temperature regulation and moisture absorption.
- It has an optional non-PVC rain shield protects baby from the elements so you can run those necessary errands.
- Indie Twin's rear wheel suspension and 12″ air-inflated tires, keep you rolling over any type of terrain.
- Has optional carrycot system utilizing an easy-clip latching system, they can be installed and removed quickly and easily.
- The carrycot features an extendable canopy, ergonomic mattress pad and a zip-on cover. The carrycot is also equipped with carrying handles."�
She Knows Parenting Awards 2011- Finalist and Editor's Choice -"This product is great for newborns and toddlers alike and has an adjustable reclining backrest for optimal comfort. Other features include rear suspension, a storage basket and a removable cup holder. This is perfect for the active parent who loves to jog or hike but wants to take baby with them!" http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/awards/parenting-awards-2011/category/baby-gear

That is one thing the governor and I see eye to eye on. That was one of the reasons behind the 2 percent tax cap. I've shown that I am fiscally conservative and that could be a benefit to the county."
If Cuomo makes an appointment, that person would have to run in November to keep the job. Southworth said she thinks the voters would support her.
"I believe I am the best candidate not only for the position but to be able to hold the position in an election," she said.

Newspapers usually provide a proof of publication after a legal notice has been published. This allows the government and other bodies to verify that the notice was published and to have proof of that publication. Signatures on the Proof of Publication must be original – stamped signatures are not allowed.
Creating proofs of publication completely within a pagination program can save a large amount of time and work normally spent cutting and pasting clippings from the newspaper. Instead of gluing a clipping to the proof, copy the text from your pagination program (such as InDesign or Quark) into the blank space on your Proof of Publication form, or on an attached sheet of paper. Fully paginated proofs of publication are accepted by the government and other entities.
If a proof of publication is contested, the actual clipping would be required. The completeness of your newspaper's file storage of previous issues should determine if you proceed with fully paginated proofs.

The case of former First Baptist Church Creative Learning Center child care provider Dianna Lynn Covin has been continued and will go before a grand jury in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court early next year.
CovinŌĆÖs attorney, Jimmy Brown, asked that the case be continued until Feb. 13, 2013 to await the juryŌĆÖs determination of whether she will be indicted, Starkville Municipal Court Administrator Tony Rook said.
Covin, 52, of 134 Josey Ave. faces two counts of felony child abuse after she allegedly administered muscle relaxants to two infants on May 17. CLC placed her on administrative leave the following day and her employment was terminated May 21. She was arrested June 6 and originally appeared in court July 2, when Municipal Judge Rodney Faver granted BrownŌĆÖs request to continue the case until Thursday.
The infants, who were 7 months and 4 months old at the time of the alleged incident, were rushed to the emergency room by one of their parents and kept overnight under medical supervision.
Covin was released on $10,000 bond shortly after her arrest. She had worked at CLC for almost 10 years and had no prior arrests.
The Creative Learning Center is a full-time child care facility located at First Baptist Church Starkville and is licensed by the Mississippi Department of Health. CLC Executive Director Karen Graham said in a release following CovinŌĆÖs arrest that the organization holds the health and safety of children sacred.

Incidence and Mortality
In the United States, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women. In 2013, more than 45,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and more than 38,000 will die of this disease. Because pancreatic cancer usually is diagnosed at an advanced stage, the survival rate is extremely low compared with those of many other cancer types. The pancreatic cancer incidence rate has increased since 1999, and the mortality rate also has increased slightly since 2000.
African Americans have higher rates of pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality than whites or other racial/ethnic groups. Pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality rates also are higher in men than in women.
Cigarette smoking is the most important risk factor for pancreatic cancer, accounting for approximately 20 percent of cases. Additional risk factors include longstanding diabetes, inflammation of the pancreas, obesity, and certain hereditary conditions. Early-stage pancreatic cancer is asymptomatic, and there is no routine screening test for pancreatic cancer. Standard treatments for pancreatic cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, chemoradiation, and targeted therapy.
It is estimated that approximately $2.3 billion is spent in the United States each year on pancreatic cancer treatment.
Examples of NCI Activities Relevant to Pancreatic Cancer
- The Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) is identifying and testing new biomarkers to enhance cancer detection and risk assessment. One EDRN-supported project is studying stem cell biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic cancer.
- The Pancreatic Cancer Epidemiology Consortia are three research consortia that bring together scientists from diverse biomedical disciplines to improve understanding of the causes and natural history of pancreatic cancer.
- NCI's Pilot Studies in Pancreatic Cancer funding effort supports small, innovative research projects that are focused on the biology, etiology, detection, prevention, and treatment of this cancer.
- The Tumor Microenvironment Network (TMEN) is exploring the role of the microenvironment—the cells and blood vessels that feed a tumor—in tumor initiation and progression. Network investigators are studying the interaction between pancreatic tumors and their microenvironment during pancreatic cancer development.
- NCI's Cancer Genomics Research Laboratory (CGR) was established to study how inherited genetic variations contribute to cancer susceptibility and outcomes, including in pancreatic cancer.
- The Pancreatic Cancer Interest Group promotes the exchange of information, enhances interactions, and fosters collaborations among scientists who are working on various aspects of pancreatic cancer.
- Two pancreatic-cancer-specific Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs) are conducting research to facilitate early detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
Selected Advances in Pancreatic Cancer Research
- By examining circulating tumor cells from a mouse model of pancreatic cancer and from humans with the disease, researchers identified a signaling pathway that contributes to pancreatic cancer metastasis. Published July 2012. [PubMed Abstract]
- A polyphenol found in green tea inhibited tumor growth in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer. Published September 2012. [PubMed Abstract]
- Reduced levels of TNF-receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) protein led to increased growth of pancreatic cancer cells in the laboratory, revealing details of a pathway that is a potential target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Published January 2013. [PubMed Abstract]
- Results of a phase I clinical trial testing the addition of ascorbate to gemcitabine for the control of metastatic pancreatic cancer demonstrated that the therapy was well tolerated and provided indications of efficacy that warrant further study. Published February 2013. [PubMed Abstract]

Trends in NCI Funding for Pancreatic Cancer Research
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) investment in pancreatic cancer research increased from $87.3 million in fiscal year (FY) 2008 to $105.4 million in FY 2012. In addition to this funding, NCI supported $14.3 million in pancreatic cancer research in FY 2009 and FY 2010 using funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Private prison gets a ratings tick. I thought that the Opposition had been quiet of late re: private prisons.
After a few teething issues it appears the private prison…you know without the union staff…is performing exceptionally well compared with their union controlled competition.
Private prison operator Serco is outperforming most public prisons in league tables which measure prison escapes, positive drug tests and rates of violence and rehabilitation.
The Corrections Department published the performance grades for New Zealand's 17 prisons for the first time in a bid for greater transparency and accountability.
The tables showed six prisons had exceeded performance targets, eight were operating "effectively", and three needed improvement. Read more »

Re: Its interesting...
It's not LTE, and at this point I agree with you. Considering they only sell ONE LTE device right now, the network speeds, I'm guessing, would be very high. Only people with a Galaxy Note II would be able to access it, it's their only LTE phone.

Code 17593
Level of study Second Year
Credit value 20
Semester 1 and 2
The module will continue and conclude the core introduction to Hispanic literature studied by all post-A level honours students in Year 1. The core lectures on Hispanic verse in Semester 1 will complement the earlier focus on drama and narrative. In Semester 2, the lectures will deal with Cervantes' renovation of the novel, concentrating on Pt 1 of his Hispanic masterpiece, Don Quijote. Poetry lectures, taught by a range of members of staff, will consider works belonging to both Spain and Spanish America from the medieval period to the present day, inscribing these canonical works with identifiable thematic or other patterns representative of the broader Hispanic cultural tradition. Accompanying seminar-group classes will identify further short texts as examples of more specific trends within this aspect of Hispanic cultural history, in the fields not just of literature but of visual arts also, and will lead to the practical application of broad historical and thematic knowledge and interpretative skills fostered by the core lectures. Study of Cervantes in Year II will involve detailed analysis of that work which enshrines and inspires many of the core themes and values of Hispanic literature before and after.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Know the rules if you are supporting a candidate
May 21, 2014 - Julie Freese, Fremont County Clerk, Lander
Election season is upon us, with candidate filing under way. I just wanted to remind everyone that there are some rules regarding the support or opposition of a candidate.
A political action committee means any group of two or more persons organized and associated for the purpose of raising, collecting or spending money for use in the aid of, or otherwise influencing, or attempting to influence, directly or indirectly, the election or defeat of candidates for public office, candidate's committees, or political parties, for support of, or opposition to, any initiative or referendum petition drive for the adoption or defeat of any ballot proposition.
A group cannot produce or send literature out to voters attempting to influence their potential vote for or against a candidate without filing as a PAC as defined above.
Recently a committee sent letters to various people in the community and are not filed as a PAC with the Fremont County Clerk within 10 days of forming.
If there are any questions, please contact my office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Enjoy Incredible Food at These Ten Las Vegas Steakhouses
By Terrisa Meeks
Las Vegas Local Expert
Las Vegas offers diners a wealth of steakhouses, all of which offer diners a tantalizing selection of beef, as well as other dishes. Whether you're looking for a traditional steakhouse or a place that interprets steak in a whole new way, you're sure to find a restaurant that will satisfy you.
Celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse's steakhouse at the Palazzo, Delmonico, puts a Creole spin on the traditional beef offerings. The exclusive, club-like atmosphere is a perfect match for the tender, delectable steaks served here. At CarneVino, Chef Mario Batali's creation, also at Palazzo, steak gets an Italian flair, served in a setting that complements the food.
Las Vegas is home to many celebrity chefs, and what better way to showcase those award-winning talents than with a steakhouse? Charlie Palmer Steak, Michael Mina's Stripsteak, Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Prime all illustrate the reasons why these chefs have such loyal followings. Meals at any of these steakhouses are experiences that don't stop with the food. First-class interior design transforms a dinner at these restaurants into an experience not soon forgotten.
Looking for something a little off the beaten path? Neither The Steakhouse at Circus-Circus or the Golden Steer have a celebrity chef behind their beef, but both are known for their great steaks. The Steakhouse at Circus-Circus is a true find in Las Vegas, a steakhouse that offers a selection of great cuts of well-prepared beef, but at a price that will leave you more money to hit the tables with.
10 Golden Steer Steakhouse
The atmosphere at the Golden Steer is as much a reason to have a meal here as the food. The name proudly proclaims the restaurant's specialty, and there is indeed a statue of a golden steer in front of the restaurant. Expect lots of burgundy-colored leather and an intimate dining room here, a little old-fashioned, but charming in an Old Vegas way. Look for menu items you haven't seen in a while, like Roquefort dressing made in-house. The Golden Steer has a signature garlic bread to go with its dishes, which isn't an item you see on many of the Strip's steakhouse menus. Cuts of beef offered are ribye, top sirloin, New York, filet, T-bone, and three sizes of prime rib. Other menu items include a selection of seafood. (702-384-4470)
9 The Steak House at Circus Circus
One of the best things about THE Steak House at Circus Circus is that it's totally unexpected. Circus Circus is well-known as a family-friendly, budget property, and somehow they've managed to keep it quiet that they also have a very good steakhouse. They've managed to keep THE Steak House on the down low for 31 years, which is quite an accomplishment. Their aged Midwestern beef is grilled over a mesquite charcoal broiler. You'll find all the usual cuts of beef here--filet, ribye, New York, porterhouse and prime rib. Prices are significantly lower than you'll find at any other Strip hotel, but you won't be sacrificing quality, and you can enjoy a casual dining atmosphere. (702-794-3767)
8 Prime Steakhouse
Jean-Georges Vongerichten is such a well-known chef that foodies swoon over just his first name. Prime, Jean-Georges' acclaimed steakhouse at Bellagio Las Vegas, explains why. From the decor to the food, Prime transforms your meal into a unforgettable fine-dining experience. The color scheme is Tiffany blue and brown, and original artwork graces the walls. Beef cuts include filet, bone-in ribeye, porterhouse, a peppercorn New York, dry-aged ribeye, veal, and braised beef short ribs. Lobster, crab, and foie gas can be ordered as steak complements. Halibut, ahi tuna, sole, and duck are also offered. The atmosphere at Prime is thoroughly elegant, and the food fits that setting. (702-693-7223, 866-259-7111)
7 SW Steakhouse
You'd expect nothing less than a fabulous steakhouse at Wynn, and SW lives up to that expectation. Overlooking the Lake of Dreams and designed with sleek accents of marble, leather and wood, SW gives diners the perfect ambiance to go along with an elegant meal. Charred Prime steaks are the featured item on the menu, and include all the regular cuts of beef like Bone-In Rib Eye, New York Strip, Filet Mignon, Bone-In New York and a Porterhouse For Two. A Pepper Crusted Chateaubriand is also served. Feel that steak isn't enough? Add an accompaniment like Bahamian Lobster Tail, Peppercorn Shrimp Scampi or Smoked Bacon & Shallots to your meal. If you don't feel like steak--which seems unlikely at SW, but still--the extensive menu also offers scallops, tuna, swordfish, sea bass and chicken. (702-770-3325)
6 Craftsteak
Chef Tom Colicchio has created a steakhouse with a feeling that's both exclusive and comfortable. At the MGM Grand, Craftsteak showcases the best of beef, along with a seasonal selection of side dishes. Signature dishes include lobster bisque, braised short ribs, and grilled Kobe skirt steak. Dinner entrees include a Black Angus ribeye, hangar steak, and Angus Flat Iron. Domestic and Australian Wagyu are also offered. Winner of the James Beard award, Chef Colicchio proves with Craftsteak that he's worthy of the accolades. Craftsteak features an extensive wine list with emphasis on California wines, and over 200 varieties of bourbon and Scotch. (702-891-7318)
5 CarneVino Italian Steakhouse - Palazzo Hotel
The name CarneVino is a combination of steak (carne) and wine (vino), and at this Italian-influenced steakhouse, you can have your fill of both. The atmosphere here is something like an Italian villa, with antiques and marble, giving you the perfect place to enjoy a superb meal. Fresh ingredients, always a key component of excellent food, are the standard at CarneVino. A special "Beef Tasting Menu" highlights the restaurant's unique approach to beef: Wagyu beef crudo, beef cheek ravioli, wet aged Piemontese Beef, and dry aged "BBL" beef. BBL beef is hormone and antibiotic free, and according to CarneVino often exceeds USDA standards. Clearly, this is not your usual steakhouse. (7027894141)
4 N9ne Steakhouse
Part of N9NE's appeal is its trendy, hip vibe. Don't expect to have a lot of small talk over dinner--the music can make that a challenge. But who wants to talk when you're busy eating (and possibly celebrity watching)? It's not all about the beef here on the menu, either. Appetizers include rock shrimp, sashimi, and lobster pot stickers. Entrees are listed separately from steaks and include a Kobe burger, organic Scottish salmon, and roasted lamb. Surf and turf, which seems almost mandatory with this menu, is a huge ribeye and lobster tail. Steaks are prime aged, and include filet mignon, New York sirloin, and porterhouse. (702-933-9900, 702-944-3464)
3 Stripsteak
Located at Mandalay Bay, Stripsteak features beef as imagined by Michael Mina, and it's the chef's first steakhouse. Diners can enjoy sumptuously prepared steaks, as well as a creative take on the steakhouse experience. Stripsteak's menu depends on high-quality, environmentally sustainable ingredients such as all natural meat, line-caught seafood, and seasonal vegetables. The kitchen at Stripsteak has two wood-burning grills and six circulating, slow-poaching chambers. Slow-poaching is a cooking method many people haven't heard of. This slow-cooking method cooks the beef for several hours, resulting in a flavor-filled, tender cut of beef. How can a dish called "Butter-Poached Bone-In Top Loin" be anything other than utterly delicious? (702-632-7414)
2 Charlie Palmer Steak
Steak may seem like a simple meal to prepare, but Charlie Palmer's restaurant proves that's not exactly the case. The renown chef elevates cuts of meat to something special. Diners can choose from traditional cuts here, like filet mignon, New York strip, rib-eye and porterhouse. An extensive wine list is also offered. An intimate and elegant interior gives patrons the chance to feel indulged and comfortable. Ask about the "Cut of the Week" prix fixe menu, featuring a unique cut of beef and seasonal ingredients along with a "bottomless glass" of wine. A small plate menu is also available in the bar and lounge and includes dishes like Kobe Beef Sliders and Marinated Beef Skewers. (702-632-5120)
1 Delmonico Steakhouse
Chef Emeril Lagasse has recreated a beloved New Orleans classic in the heart of The Venetian's restaurant row. Delmonico features an old-fashioned steakhouse vibe, beginning the moment you walk in. Beef is the star here. Choose from the Bone In Ribeye, Ribeye, Bone In New York Strip, Filet Mignon and classic beef entrees like Chateubriand. For the non-beef eaters at your table, dishes like Emeril's BBQ Salmon, the American Red Snapper and the Grilled Marinated Organic Chicken Breast will ensure they have something delicious to savor. For dessert, try the Pecan Pie or the sumptuous Espresso Creme Brulee. No steakhouse is complete without a full bar, and Delmonico obliges. (702-414-1992)

MONGOOSES are renowned for their ability to kill snakes, a reputation due in no small part to Rudyard Kipling's
The active ingredient most commonly found in snake venoms, alpha-neurotoxin, works by attaching itself to acetylcholine receptor molecules on the surface of muscle cells. These receptors are designed to receive messages from nerves which tell the muscles to contract or relax. But alpha-neurotoxin blocks the messages, paralysing and ultimately killing the victim.
Sara Fuchs of the Immunology Department at the Weizmann Institute in Israel, who is an expert on the physiology of the junctions between nerves and muscles, studied the molecular structures of acetylcholine receptors and found that those in mongooses ...
