This was, without a doubt, the most exciting game I have witnessed in many years... I think part of Stanfords problem was the two previous games were not challenge. And Xavier really played well... Go Lady Cardinals... All the WAY!

A critical component of Orange County Transportation Authority's (OCTA) mission to deliver public transit to the three million residents of Orange County is our paratransit service, an area that continues to see increases in both ridership and cost. In our ongoing effort to improve this service and provide it in the most cost-effective way possible, OCTA recently completed a state-of-the art indoor center to qualify disabled individuals for our paratransit service, called ACCESS, which provides one million rides annually. One of only four indoor centers in the nation, riders being evaluated are escorted through a series of tests that verify their ability to use ACCESS services, including boarding and exiting the bus, navigating through the center aisle and using the farebox. The simulator provides accurate and efficient evaluation of riders' abilities while also improving the customer experience for the 58,000 ACCESS customers.The indoor facility houses a 40-foot bus used in testing individuals for paratransit service. Surrounding the bus are actual sidewalks and operating traffic signals to give users the feel of a real bus stop. It also contains curb-cuts, and life-size murals depicting shops, business offices and other unique venues such as Angels Stadium, making the test as real a simulation as possible. The $52,000 facility was built as part of OCTA's contract with C.A.R.E. Evaluators, which provides services to determine customers' eligibility for using ACCESS. Each month, approximately 500 people are certified or re-certified to use the service. Among the many benefits of the new center is the ability to evaluate customers more efficiently, saving staff time and money. Previously, riders were put through an outdoor evaluation that lasted an hour to test their ability to navigate uneven surfaces and curbs, but they did not board a bus. Evaluators can now test a customer's ability to navigate multiple surfaces, board a bus and pay the fare, all within a controlled environment.The testing today can be completed within 30 minutes, providing the same level of service in half the time and offering a more comfortable environment for customers. In addition, standardizing the evaluation process helps to accurately determine if a customer can use the fixed-route service for some trips, which can help to significantly reduce our costs. Subsidizing ACCESS service costs OCTA $50.17 per ride, versus $3.76 on the fixed-route service.Ultimately, the success of our ACCESS service is measured by the customers' experience and I'm proud to say that a recent passenger survey found 88% of users are satisfied with the service.
Typically, when riding the rails in the Philadelphia region, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority customers can purchase daily, weekly or monthly passes — even onboard tickets — for their journeys. But the weekend of Sept. 26 to 27 will be far from a typical weekend in Philadelphia — Pope Francis will be in town, along with an estimated 1.5 to two million people attending public events along the city's Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Transit authority operators nationwide have been victims of sometimes brutally violent acts, but in Philadelphia, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has had a decrease in bus operator assaults by almost 60% since 2011. How did they do that?
The cost of copper was around $2.50 a pound in mid-June. While that might not sound like a lot of money, when you have hundreds of feet of copper wire, you're talking about thousands of dollars or more. Transit systems, which utilize copper in wiring, are the latest target for thieves looking to make some easy cash.
While PTC may have just recently entered the consciousness of the public at-large, it has been an issue for freight and commuter rail systems since Congress passed the Rail Safety Improvement Act (RSIA) (P.L. 110-432) in 2008 following the collision between a Metrolink commuter train and a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles. Since that time, rail organizations have been working toward meeting the federally-mandated PTC implementation deadline of December 31, 2015. With less than six months to go, several commuter rail systems have said that, not only will they not meet the deadline, they will need several more years before having full PTC implementation on their trains.
Disruptive technologies and the new era of information sharing are helping to evolve and advance public transportation in our nation's greatest cities. Nearly 300 mayors and government officials convened in San Francisco June 19-22 for the U.S. Conference of Mayors' 83rd Annual Meeting, featuring remarks from President Obama and former U.S. Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. I was invited to speak in front of these influential government leaders to discuss "Technology and the Transformation of Urban Transportation." This article will give readers an inside look at the conversation.

Example of part of a "Text View" web results page for CNEs in the vicinity of the SOX21 gene in Fugu. The two top bars represent keys to data within the table relating to genomes in which CNEs are conserved, conservation scores and functional annotation. Links through names/pictures relating to all vertebrate genomes currently within CONDOR allow users to filter the CNEs by those conserved in a specific genome or to view the chromosomal locations of the CNEs in that genome. Main table shows data and features of each CNE in the region. The sequence data includes CNE identifier, location, position with relation to reference gene, length, conservation etc. CNE features shown also include the LPC score (a composite score that takes both the length and conservation of the element into consideration), whether a CNE is duplicated elsewhere in the genome (referred to as a dCNE or duplicated CNE [29]), whether the CNE has an in vivo annotation associated with it (and the general result of that annotation), and what vertebrate genomes it is conserved in.

Playing the odds
Published: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.
President Obama brought my Aunt Myrtle to mind this week. Aunt Myrtle was my Grandma Mosley's only child by her first husband and was 16 years older than my father, her other child with my grandfather. Aunt Myrtle inherited Grandma Mosley's curly blond hair and blue eyes.
By the time I was born, Myrtle was living in Atlantic City where she and her husband owned a very successful restaurant. Before Atlantic City became a present mecca for casino gambling, it was a very popular seaside, seasonal resort. The season ran from May through September and many successful businesses could afford to close after the season and reopen the next season. After the season, Myrtle would come to Ohio and spend lots of time with us.
Being a curious kid, I would always ask why Myrtle's husband, who I considered an uncle I had never met and whose name I don't remember now, would never come with her. I was always told that he was too busy. I later found out that he was busy with his duties as a grand wizard in New Jersey in the 1930s and 1940s.
Uncle what's-his-name wanted no parts of aunt Myrtle's "rainbow" family.
Grandma Mosley would visit Myrtle but not for long.
I suspect uncle what's-his-name would make some comment about grandma's black husband and grandma would shower him with her sailor vocabulary in German and then shower him again with the English translation.
Grandma Mosley was feisty. One of my earliest childhood memories is being arrested with grandma. Well, I didn't know she was being arrested — I just knew it was so exciting getting to ride in a police car.
Family lore has it that we were on a streetcar and a man told grandma to "put that ugly little n____" on her lap so he could sit down, pushing me aside as he said it. I do remember the streetcar stopping and the man lying on the floor bleeding. Before that, I thought you could only bleed from knees and elbows like us little kids. I didn't know people could bleed from their heads.
The driver ran to a pay phone and called the police, and I got to ride in a police car with grandma. I have no idea what the outcome was, but we didn't stay at the police station very long, and I got to ride in the police car again on the way home.
So why does President Obama bring to mind my aunt, who lived with bigotry, along with my grandmother who imitated Joe Louis? It's because of his coming out in support of same-sex marriages and the debate on the possible political consequences.
Just like my white aunt and grandmother, family and personal relationships are varied, complex, expansive and deep. These relationships may be open or private and unknown or unacknowledged to and by others. But other people connected to and with these relationships are likely to favor someone who comes out in support of those involved — especially when they can do so in the secrecy of a voting booth. Grandma's side of my family, who all voted for Eisenhower in '52 and '56, voted for Kennedy in 1960 because of his perceived support of civil rights for blacks.
It is estimated that 4 percent of the 225 million adult Americans are openly gay, lesbian or bisexual which is around 9 million people. That begs the question: With so few people, why such a fuss? But I think that estimate is low since many people who experiment or dabble once deny their homosexuality. I guess their logic is that robbing a bank once does not make you a bank robber. Then there are those who deny their homosexuality because it is situational, like prison inmates. These dabblers and situationalists are likely to use the secrecy of the voting booth to support the president.
Mitt Romney gave the commencement address at Liberty University, the evangelical college in Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty claims 80,000 students, 13,000 in residence and 67,000 online. Ideologically, evangelicals are staunchly opposed to same-sex marriage and homosexuality. But evangelicals are not immune to homosexuality, so using the same 4 percent formula, it is possible that at least 3,200 Liberty students are homosexuals. And those students have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who are unlikely to punish a president for supporting their family member, loved one, friend, neighbor or coworker.
The odds favor the president.

A quick status update :
It has been quite a while ( some months ) since the last NewsLeecher release, but development hasn't stopped!
The plan, from here on, is to get through the rest of the NewsLeecher V7.0 bugfix list and then release a final version within too long.
The NewsLeecher V7.0 client software will be FREE to use for everybody. We then hope that users will support us through subscribing to our ( inexpensive ;) Usenet service and/or the SuperSearch and SuperLeech services.
After NewsLeecher V7.0 has been released, we will start working on V8.0. We already have lots of ideas for V8.0 - including a major facelift to keep the user interface efficient and up-to-date.

Employee retention is the ability of a firm to convince its employees to remain with the business. It is often measured by the labour turnover of a business.
Labour turnover is defined as the proportion of a firm's workforce that leaves during the course of a year.
The formula for calculating labour turnover is shown below:
An example of using the formula is shown below:
It is important to remember that all businesses lose staff – for a variety of reasons:
In terms of this part of the course, we are more concerned with the loss of staff for reasons other than above. You might call this voluntary staff turnover – employees who leave of their own accord.
It is important to remember that labour turnover levels vary between industries. Successive surveys of labour turnover show that the highest levels are typically found in retailing, hotels, catering and leisure, call centres and among other lower paid private sector services groups.
Labour turnover levels also vary from region to region. The highest rates are found where unemployment is lowest and where it is unproblematic for people to secure desirable alternative employment.
There are many reasons why a high labour turnover figure (poor employee retention) may cause problems for a firm:
However, there are some advantages of a firm experiencing labour turnover:
A business can improve its employee retention by offering:
A business may also have to adopt more flexible working practices in order to retain staff and fit in with the changing trend in UK employment and working patterns. For instance, there is a greater emphasis currently being placed on "flexible hours contracts" and part-time working. This is mainly to allow for the growing number of women joining the workforce who have to juggle childcare and their working lives.

About this Business
From Our Editors
At La Bocca Urban Pizzeria, preparations for pizza crusts start a full day before they hit the brick oven. Chefs knead organic dough by hand, watch it rise for 24 hours, and then top the crusts with gourmet, locally procured ingredients such as Queen Creek Olive Mill olives, Schreiner's Fine Sausages meat, and housemade pulled pork.
The rest of the Mediterranean-inspired menu proves equally indulgent. Chefs layer bruschetta planks with fig and smoked prosciutto and toss pastas with housemade sauces and meatballs molded from grass-fed beef. To grant molars breaks from the rigors of chewing, servers are happy to recommend pairings from the drink menu, which features handcrafted cocktails, European and Arizonan wines, and award-winning sangria.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Elections will never be cakewalks for Rep. Ami Bera. The nearly even split between Democratic and Republican voters in California's 7th Congressional District means the freshman Democrat is likely to confront a strong challenger each two-year election cycle.
Three GOP challengers have jumped into the race this year yet have their own hurdles to scale as they attempt to move beyond the June primary. Bera is expected to survive the top-two primary and run for re-election in November.
Over the coming month, the Republicans will provide voters in the Sacramento-area district a glimpse of the strains that have dominated other Republican intraparty battles nationally.
The race features a tea party favorite, Igor Birman, who seeks to become the first member of Congress born in the former Soviet Union; a former congressman, Doug Ose; and Elizabeth Emken, who has lost in previous congressional and U.S. Senate races but could benefit if voters chafe at the combative tone of the contest between Birman and Ose.
Mindful of the nearly even voter registration split in his district, Bera emphasizes his work with a bipartisan group of 94 lawmakers from both houses who call themselves the Problem Solvers Coalition. They meet regularly to find issues on which they can reach agreement.
"When I think about what the Republicans are talking about in our district, it's not a conversation about working across the aisle," Bera said.
The race for the 7th Congressional District seat is among a half dozen highly competitive contests in the June 3 primary. That competition is largely a result of California's independent redistricting process, which has ensured a slate of lively contests after decades of lopsided affairs that generally ensured victory for entrenched incumbents.
The top two candidates regardless of party affiliation will move on to the general election.
Nationally, Democratic Party officials are hoping to continue the gains they made in 2012, when California provided four of the eight House seats gained nationally. Meanwhile, Republicans hope to end their long slide in California and use the state as a springboard for expanding their House majority.
Democrats need to pick up 17 seats around the county to regain control of the House, a number few believe obtainable given how few districts are truly in play across the country.
The state also will see robust intraparty battles in which longstanding incumbents such as Democrat Mike Honda and Republican Tom McClintock will face challenges from members of their own party. The delegation is losing two long-serving members when Democrats Henry Waxman and George Miller retire after serving out their 20th terms, but their seats are expected to stay in Democratic hands.
The most vulnerable Democratic incumbents appear to be four freshmen. In addition to Bera, they are Reps. Raul Ruiz from the Coachella Valley, Scott Peters from San Diego and Julia Brownley, who represents a mostly Ventura County seat.
Democrats have targeted Republican Rep. David Valadao. His agricultural district south of Fresno has about 28,500 more registered Democratic voters than Republican ones. The Democrats also have a good chance of picking up the Inland Empire seat of retiring Republican Rep. Gary Miller.
"No question our success nationally will require success locally in California, and that means the re-election of our four front-line Democrats in California and it means beating Republicans in at least two districts," said Rep. Steve Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Ruiz and Peters represent districts with more Republican voters than Democratic ones. With President Barack Obama on the ticket in 2012, turnout boosted the Democrats' win totals. This time, the turnout model favors Republicans, said Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House majority whip from Bakersfield.

Homemade Halloween Costumes?
My mom is making my kids costumes. I think it might be different then what you are thinking. We get the patterns and then she sews them.
Love Bug 4.12.10
Chunky Butt 2.1.12
What's a good website to look for making costumes?
I'm making lo a pumpkin costume because I have a tendency to go WAY overboard with big costumes for Halloween and I don't want to start off with something I can't top :)
Actually I'm roped into making lo THREE costumes this year! We're going to Oktoberfest in Helen, GA (if you've never been - it's great! You should go!), and my DH really wants her to have a Chicken costume because they do the chicken dance a lot, and I want her to have a German dirndl dress as well.
Jeez, I guess I'd better get busy! I haven't even started any of them :)
I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
We really don't have Halloween plans and it's a week night so I didn't want to make it too complicated.

Mills College (English and Music)
Beginning in Middle School I found that I enjoyed teaching and helping others. This was the beginnings of my pursuit to attend college and obtain the necessary credentials in order to become a teacher.
I've never shrunk away from a challenge, which is why I have taken Honors and AP classes all throughout High School, all of which I have passed. I took Marching Band for my last two years in High School along with all of my AP Classes. Through Band is where I found I had a passion for music. Within those two years I have learned a large amount and will continue to pursue this passion throughout my life.
My knowledge of tutoring begins with my joining the California Scholarship Federation. This club was founded years ago with the purpose of creating tutors out of students so that they may assist their fellow students in whatever subjects that they struggle with. For those two years I helped a few students with Japanese, Basic Math, Chemistry, and Environmental Science. However my strongest points would be English and Music, though I am completely open to assisting with the subject mentioned above.
My teaching methods stem from a year in Psychology AP. I learned that the most effective form of teaching, especially for the younger students, is positive reinforcement. This involves rewarding students for their accomplishments as opposed to punishment for their failures (which is negative reinforcement). If someone is struggling it is more effective to encourage than to punish them. This, I believe, should be a fundamental strategy of any and all tutors/teachers.
Being able to connect, laugh, and help students enjoy learning is something difficult. Each person has their own interests, thus each person should be taught in a way that fits them. School systems make it difficult for every student to obtain all of the individual attention that they need to be very successful, therefore obtaining a tutor to help them develop their own form of study would be extremely beneficial.

Extremely patient with me; I liked the fact that she suggested one hour(instead of 2hrs) at a time since I am a TRUE beginner which showed me that she cared! Can't wait to have my next lesson with her...
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have been a composer for as long as I have been able to read music, which is 5 years. I am currently attending college as a Music Composition Major and have junior status. I have taken a multitude of composition courses where we are sometimes given guidelines and sometimes given free range to compose as we please. I believe this method is the best to foster a students own confidence in their compositions. I also offer a large amount of knowledge of composition techniques and the time periods in which they were most used and most popular.
I have had intensive ear training lessons for 2 years and am able to hear intervals in both melodic and harmonic dictations. Training one's ears to hear intervals takes a lot of time and practice and I plan to instill this diligent practice into each of my students. Ear Training begins with intervals and gradually expands to being able to write down a melody, finally ending with Harmonic where the student is able to hear multiple notes at once and name them.
I've been playing piano for over 5 years and have taken lessons in a fast-paced college environment for 2 years. I spend the majority of my time teaching this particular subject focusing on proper fingering of scales/chords and developing proper technique. Also, I like to challenge my students by having them sight read simple pieces, so as time passes they will be able to focus more on technique and execution as opposed to spending the majority of the time reading the music slowly. However, I am able to adapt easily to each students level of music theory in order to eventually reach the goal of focusing on performance.
I have been tutoring children as young as two for a few years. I feel it is best to read simple and short books carefully, emphasizing each and every sound, syllable, and pronunciation. This is done aloud in order to understand reading visually and aurally. This process can be long and arduous, therefore I make it a point to have conversations about what we are reading in order to help the student maintain interest.
I've had intensive sight singing lessons for two years in addition to general music practice and study. I always begin sight singing lessons with developing a strong and comfortable ability to read music. From there the sight singing pieces are usually a few measures long and are mostly stepwise and as the student progresses the pieces that they will sight sing will become increasingly difficult. The only way to become a strong sight reader of music is to sight read.
I've had two years of intensive vocal training that focused on technique and sight singing. Teaching voice always begins with finding the tonic of a C major within a drone. Learning solfege and practicing long tones are become the basis for vocal training and that quickly expands into practicing pieces from various styles of music. Along with sight singing, the student will eventually be able to come to my lessons with their own pieces prepared that they simply have to have polished.
