I bought one in Oct. and really like it. I had 3 cheap helmets I bought off a well know internet site and ended up selling 2 of them and kept one just for emergencies. Its light and made really good, in fact, better than some costing much more and the woman that waited on me was very friendly and most helpful, nice to look at too. If this is the style of helmet you�re looking for, go no farther, you will like this one.-- Steve

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Freshman Mateo Rivas grabbed a singles win at the No. 3 position, but it was the lone point for Anderson University men's tennis, as the Trojans fell to Peach Belt Conference opponent GRU Augusta Friday afternoon at the Newman Tennis Center.
The loss drops AU below .500 for the season, falling to 4-5 on the year, while the Jaguars improve to an impressive 10-4. Also with the setback, the Trojans fall to 0-3 against teams from the PBC.
Rivas tallied a three-set 6-2, 3-6, 10-6 victory over GRU's Romain Brunie at the No. 3 position, as he improves his singles winning streak to three straight matches. Since moving from the No. 2 spot to No. 3, Rivas is 3-0 and has dropped just one set.
Sophomore Paul Michael Calhoun fell in three sets to Victor Guimaraes 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 at the No. 4 position, while the other three matches were decided in straight sets.
Anderson returns to the courts on Tuesday when it travels to conference newcomer, Queens. First serve from the Queen City is scheduled for 1 p.m.

8 Election Myths You Probably Believe
Right now is the stage in every American election season when most of us are pretty sure that this whole democracy thing was a mistake. So many terrible ads, so many lies, so many news stories focusing only on the stupidest elements of the process. Why do we even bother?
Well, damn it, we're here to tell you that it's not as bad as you think. In fact, some of what we hate most about the American democratic process aren't flaws at all -- they're actually what make the whole thing tick.
So let's knock down some of the more cynical myths, shall we?
#8. Myth: It's All Pointless, Since Candidates Don't Keep Their Promises Anyway
Nothing unifies voters more than the cynicism they share after a politician lies to them. Those who vote do so because they're optimistic, but at the end of the day, we're always ready for politicians to fail to deliver on any of their campaign promises once we put them in office. We believe that hopeful future presidents, like all job candidates, will say anything their prospective employers want to hear in hopes of securing the gig. George H.W. Bush going back on his no tax hike promise, Barack Obama's failure to close Gitmo, William Howard Taft's promise to lose 30 pounds -- these people speak only in lies.

"My efforts were doomed from the start, really."
But Actually ...
Statistically, those failures were actually the exception, not the rule. Political scientists in the 1980s set out to evaluate the promise-keeping history of American presidents and found that 75 percent of pre-election pledges made by presidents Wilson through Carter were met. Most people are lucky to keep that kind of ratio going in a marriage, let alone while running a country. And yes, this trend still holds true with our modern leaders.
Nicholas Kamm / Getty
"And that NDAA is totes under control."
For instance, during the 2008 campaign, Obama made 508 distinct promises for his term in office. As of right now, he's successfully followed through on 193 of those promises. That sounds a little low, but you have to take into account the fact that "president" doesn't mean "dictator." A president can't just do anything he wants -- he has to work with Congress, and because Congress isn't exclusively populated by Obama's friends, it means that he needs to compromise. Which he did, on another 79 of those promises. Another 44 have stalled, while 102 are still "in the works." Add all that up, and you'll see that Obama at least made the effort to fulfill some 418 of his 508 campaign promises. Nearly half of those efforts have, so far, been successful.
#7. Myth: Campaigns Run Mindless Attack Ads Instead of Giving Us Substance
How fast do you reach for the remote these days when you hear creepy music over a black and white picture of a politician? "Congressman Smith voted for over 1,200 tax increases in his first year in office ..." If you live in an American battleground state, you'll see 12 of these corny political attack ads an hour, even if you have the TV off.
Obama for America
Way to go, words. Even the mute button is useless.
And everyone hates them -- 80 percent of voters find negative ads unethical and damaging to democracy. Plus, we (again) assume that politicians are twisting the truth to manipulate us. This isn't the 1950s, guys; we don't fall for everything we see on television. Why not just knock it off and stop ruining democracy?
Romney for President
This is all Adobe Premiere's fault.
But Actually ...
When exposed to a barrage of negativity, we may feign disgust, but are actually more likely to show up at the polls. Oh, and we're better informed, too -- in one study, people who watched attack ads knew more about the issues of the election than others. After all, negative commercials prompt fact-checking and force opponents to issue a response to clear their names. So what some would call deplorable smear campaigns that belong in the gutter, others would call a dialogue. And it's the voters who benefit.
For example, during the 2008 presidential campaign, John McCain claimed that Barack Obama's economic plan would raise taxes for small business owners. Obama hit back with an ad that better explained his platform, then one-upped McCain by asserting that McCain's tax plan had a health credit that was also coming from increased taxes. So both candidates forced the other guy to explain himself, bringing more information to the voters. But maybe more importantly, negative messages force us to listen.
Obama for America
"The Chinese military? That's the least American military in the world."
It's just the way your brain works. It's easy to ignore video of a candidate standing in a wheat field with inspirational music playing while he talks about his small town American values. But negative language sticks with us. It's evolution, as well as common sense -- your brain is tuned to look for problems so they can be solved. A positive and negative ad can each contain an equal amount of good information, but your brain perks up at the one that's also saying, "If you elect this other guy, that's going to create a big problem in your life." It's the same reason you have one reaction to seeing a bunny rabbit and another to seeing a tiger.
Unless you're Herman Cain, who bypassed the whole tiger thing and went straight for bunny murder in the commercial below. We still haven't figured out what he was advertising, other than his own awesome craziness:
#6. Myth: The Two-Party System Is Dividing Us into Opposing Tribes of Extremists
Americans are as frustrated with our lack of political choices as we are with our lack of genitalia choices. It's ridiculous -- how can the same country that offers 500 varieties of dog toothpaste only offer up two viable options for the most important job in the country? Look at your Facebook feed -- everyone that you haven't already blocked for their political rants is bemoaning the fact that both Mitt Romney and Obama suck. Which explains why 57 percent of Americans wish that they had at least one more option at the poll. Surely there has to be a better way.
John Kobal Foundation / Paul J. Richards / Chip Somodeville
Ron Perot 2012.
But Actually ...
Choices are nice, but there's one underrated advantage of the two-party system: It makes everyone more moderate. Multiparty systems, as attractive as they may sound, also lead to more fanaticism.
Robyn Beck / Getty
Yes, it could be worse than this.
Think of it this way: Say you have a group of 10 dudes who are trying to figure out where to go out to eat. If the town only has two restaurants (a Hooters and a low-rent Hooters knockoff called TitWings), it's easier to get everybody to all agree on Hooters -- you only need six guys to come around. But if there are dozens of restaurants and each guy wants to go to a different one, they're all going to argue at the bar until they starve to death a month later. It's simply easier to bring people together when they don't have that many places to go. So despite how extreme Democrats and Republicans each claim the other party is, ideological polarization is less likely with only two parties.
For proof, look at the Galactic Senate. Or India. Let's just go with India. Multiparty systems foster excessive regionalism, with elected leaders focusing on trivial local concerns rather than larger national ones, the equivalent of that one lone guy who is zealous about eating at Buffalo Boobs despite the fact that it's not even a restaurant. This is the problem in India, which has so many political parties that we can't count them, making the country so difficult to manage that it's often called a "functioning anarchy."

At least it's more colorful than our system.
#5. Myth: Political Rhetoric Is More Hateful and Divisive Than Ever
Here are some actual jibes that were exchanged in the debates leading up to the election:
"I can tell you that if you were to elect President Obama, you know what you're going to get. You're going to get a repeat of the last four years. We just can't afford four more years like the last four years."
"Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida. You said Russia. The 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."
Jewel Samad / Getty
"Also, your mother is a, uh ... prostitute."
Whoa, there! Cool your jets, Rocky Obama! It's no wonder the post-debate dialogue saw headlines like "President Rude? Final Debate Interruption Count: Obama 23, Romney 1" and "Joe Biden's Rude Debate Laughter: The Joke's on Him."
And this picture, blasting one of the moderators for good measure. She's the devil, maybe?
But Actually ...
Quick quiz: Name the presidential candidate who was so awful that his opponent's supporters warned that if the guy won ...
"... murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest will be openly taught and practiced. The air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes."
And also that voters would see their children "writhing on a pike." So who was it? Bill Clinton? Hitler? Nope, Thomas Jefferson. In 1800, supporters of John Adams warned that Jefferson's election would lead to Cormac McCarthyworld. Apparently early Americans were really into the apocalypse back then, because Jefferson won.
And everyone in the world died. The end.
What we're trying to say is that what qualifies as "harsh" now would be considered weak centuries ago, and in fact, anywhere else in the world today. For example, here's a video of a slight kerfuffle between the departed senators Arlen Specter and Edward Kennedy during the Alito hearings in 2006. If you can make it, you'll notice at the 3:35 mark where Specter mildly rebukes Kennedy when the latter implies that he could call for votes instead of Specter, who was the committee chairman at the time.
They might as well be having tea and holding hands as they bicker. Now watch this actual riot that broke out in the Indian Parliament a few weeks later. Spoiler: It ends with bloodied legislators in ambulances.
Even the Britons, reputed throughout the world for their unfailing politeness, check their manners at the door when it comes to representative government. In this video, the speaker of the House of Commons screams "ORDER!" to the house about a million times as representatives shout "Growl!" and "Mumble mumble!" over him. He then goes on to chastise representatives for being the naughty schoolboys they are.
Obviously, our point isn't that it's a good thing for people to act like dicks during a debate. It's that you always have to judge these things in context. A world where people rely purely on cold logic when discussing policy differences would be nice, but that's not our world. Not now, and not ever in the past.

I have over 5000 items in my inventory. Dropping them one by one is going to take days. Is there anyway I can drop say all L1 resonators together?
There is actually no way to drop multiple items, but you shouldn't be just dropping them anyway -- share them with other users!
At the time when this question was asked there wasn't a practical way to drop multiple items at once. Now we have the capsules which we can use to drop multiple items at once.
You select a capsule from your items (preferably an empty one), press the "Load" button on the capsule actions screen, select the item(s) from your inventory (which is unfortunately listed alphabetically), select the number of items to transfer with the arrows on the upper side of each item and press the "Transfer" button at the bottom.
This way you fill a capsule with the items you want to drop. The downside of this action is that you have to drop this capsule on the ground loosing the capsule and giving your opponents an opportunity to find a treasure chest. So the capsules are more effective if you are passing your excessive items to another teammate.
In a hangout the Niantic devs said that bulk actions are on their todo list. But they are a small team, so it probably won't be soon.
Just press CONTROL aim the items and press drop button

How can I format the write protected pendrive?
Unless its write protected with a hardware switch, that shouldn't matter. You will need to be root. I assume that by 'format' you mean to delete all the files and recreate the file system. To do this use parted or gparted to create a new partition.
GParted is easy its a graphical application, while parted is from the command line.
But essentially just find which device your drive is ( probably /dev/sdb or sdc some letter after a) and delete the old partition and make a new one.
FAT32 is probably the file system you want, but that's up to you. GParted is pretty easy installs in gnome, probably in your distro's repositories, parted has man pages if you want to go that route and is probably already installed.
Thats pretty much it, but it wont wipe data clean, (i.e. CSI / identity theives couls still get to your data to do that you can use
Here is a link to the ubuntu forums where someone asked a very similar question.
You will be using fdisk. You will need to know what device you are working with first. This can be done by running the following. First make sure your usb drive is not plugged in. Then run:
Once you have done that, put in your pen drive and run the above command again. Whatever drive (ex sdc) was not there before is your pen drive. For now we will call it sdX. Now you will need to use fdisk.
From there you will want to wipe out your partition table, make a new primary partition and choose which type of partition you want it to be, more on that here.
Now depending on what filesystem you are wanting to create there are a number of utilities. From here there you will need to format the drive. There are different options for packages depending on distribution and what you want to format the drive to but in general the most used ones that I have seen are mkdosfs for formatting ntfs and e2mkfs for ext4.
As loosecannon said, it really shouldn't matter that it is write protected and also, I was assuming you were looking for a way to do this from the terminal. If you prefer using a gui, loosecannon is right, GParted is the way to go if there is a package for in on your distribution.

There is a popular (and I think helpful) example of etale covers, namely covers of Riemann surfaces with ramification points removed. Is there a similarly accessible example to motivate Nisnevich covers?
Well, a representative example is where you take some arbitrary etale cover Y of X which splits over a closed subvariety Z of X, then form the Nisnevich cover of X consisting of the open complement X - Z together with the open subscheme Y' of Y where you remove all but one of the copies of Z lying above Z. For instance Z could be a point, and our field could be algebraically closed.
The intuition I find helpful is that descent for the Nisnevich topology is meant to be an easier-to-precisely-phrase consequence of the principle "X is gotten by gluing X-Z to a tubular neighborhood of Z, along the punctured tubular neighborhood of Z". The idea being that, in the situation of the previous paragraph, the tubular neighborhoods of Z in X and Z in Y should be the same, Y --> X being etale.
As an example of this intuition, note that if X is a smooth variety of dimension n (over an algebraically closed field for simplicity) and x is a point of X, then by choosing n independent parameters at x you can find a Zariski neighborhood X' of x and an etale map X' --> A^n which, together with A^n - 0 ---> A^n, makes a Nisnevich cover of A^n with intersection equal to X'-x. This corresponds (ish) to the fact that the tubular neighborhood of x in X should be the same as the tubular neighborhood of 0 in A^n.

I'm reading Minna no Nihongo (Chapter 15) and it says what I wrote in the question. I would think the negative would be 知っていません。
Sign up

An English translation of the link provided by Tsuyoshi Ito:
It is common knowledge that the verb 知る is an exceptional verb amongst verbs that take the ~ている form. ~ている is appended to the subject-changing verb and expresses the state after the change; its corresponding negated form is expressed as ~ていない.
But contrary to expectations, the negated form of 知っている is often not 知っていない and is 知らない instead. To the best of my knowledge, I think there are few people who have come up with a theory and explained why this is.
One of these is 『新日本文法研究』 by Susumu Kuno.
But here, an analysis is done on the type of circumstances that 知っていない is used in by taking 知らない as a basis. So, the explanation is insufficient to deal with why 知る basically yields 知らない.
It's just that when 知らない and 知っていない are described and sorted out in terms of syntactic and semantic factors, then there will be clues to solving the problem of which form it appears in.
知る's Verb Group:
Firstly, before considering the issue there are things that we must first confirm. And that is the issue of where 知る lies amongst the many other verbs.
Normally the following are used to show the resultant state of a movement/action:
(1) Intransitive verb + ている
There are 2 points here that we should be cautious about. First, not every verb appended with ている expresses a state. That is to say, 歩く is an intransitive verb but 歩いている expresses a progressive action.
We think of the verb that ている is appended to, and expressing a state, as an instance of a subject-changing verb, as opposed to the case of 歩く which is a traversal verb.
In cases where a transitive and intransitive verb pair exists, it is usually the intransitive verb that takes the role of the subject-changing verb.
Then it seems that the problem is not with the case of Verb+てある expressing a state. But when considering the verb 着る we realise that it is a case that that particular reasoning is not applied; although there are transitive verbs used -
We see that while there are traversal verbs in the class of transitive verbs we also have to think of transitive verbs as including a special group of verbs that expresses change in the subject. Within the object-taking particle ヲ, its verb's meaning has a traversal aspect. And, behaving in the same manner as 着る, it also possesses a subject-changing aspect because it changes its own state as well.
And because it possesses that subject-changing aspect, it can also express a state with ている appended similar to (1) and can also express progressive action similar to (2).
That being the case, although the verb 知る is transitively used in the manner of ~ヲ知る, it can be said to be in the same verb group as 着る because it yields the form 知っている.
We think of the verb 知る possessing a subject-changing aspect of the transition from a state of "not having knowledge/information" to one of "having knowledge/information". Other than 知る, we have 覚える, 持つ, along with other verbs related to acquisition. And because we can consider them in the same way as we considered 着る, they are of the same group.
知る's Eccentricity:
Once done with categorising 知る, upon considering the ~ている form we see that we understand that the form ~ていない can be used for each of the ~ている forms of the similar verbs (覚える, 持つ, etc.) given above. Even though 知る exists in the special "traversal cum subject-changing" verb group, it is the only one for which the ~ていない form cannot be usually used. Then why is it that only 知る behaves in such an exceptional manner?
Regarding this fact, I think it is appropriate to think that it is due to the "semantic features" of the verb 知る and the image(= the way we perceive) that we have of 知る.
Why it is that 知らない is a basic form:
[1.] 知る's Semantic Feature & Diagrammatic Visualisation
Regard the displayed mental activity as the filling in of information when visualising the verb 知る:
For the illustration to show it, the verb 知る here is transitive. The mental activity is the filling in of information(denoted by ◯). So the sequence of events are as such:
(X) 知る: Filling in of information
[2.] 知らない's Semantic Feature and Diagrammatic Visualisation
By comparing the visualisation of 知らない with the above diagram, we can think of two cases represented as ア and イ as follows:
I'll start by concluding that:
For subject-changing verbs, normally ア is connected with イ to have ~ていない expressed. But for 知る, it seems that the portion connecting ア with イ (denoted by =>) has been detached and individually dealt with instead.
So what does this mean? We will see what happens when we compare and consider 来る.
Suppose a friend enters a room you are in and asks:
(3) 「山田君、来ている?」
What's important here is that response (4B) has two sides. One perspective is that by saying ここにいない, it means 来ていない. While it states the state of (イ), it does so by taking the situation of (ア) as a premise.
Another perspective is that we can say 山田 is "いない" even though we do not know the state of 山田's coming(if he will/has come) simply because we were present right from the beginning. That is to say that (4B) does not negate 来た; which as a result means ここにいる. In fact, (4B) negates "existence". As for what it means to negate "existence", to put it in another way is to say that this room's "property" is that of "a place of which 山田 is non-existent".
It is a strange way to put it but the point is that it is not the aspect of a ~た→~ている transition.

BELTON (December 10, 2012)--Belton City Council member Clifton Peters is resigning from the city council after serving nearly 12 years on the board.
He is also resigning from the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Board after nearly 7 years on the job citing health reasons.
Peters, 59, was recently diagnosed with Amytrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Since Peters' time as a councilmember and mayor pro tem, the city has experienced a 28 percent population growth in addition to the Nolan Creek Hike/Bike Trail, two splash pads, Harris Community Center, a second fire station, renovated city hall, special needs baseball field, Sparta Road extension and numerous other improvements, a city spokesperson said.
While he has resigned from the council, he will chair the Capital Improvement Planning Committee.
"Our prayers are with Clifton and his family as he deals with these health challenges. Belton is truly a better place for his service," Belton City Manager Sam Listi said.

When is a speaker not just a speaker? When it's a studio monitor. To the average person, there might not seem to be much difference, but music professionals know better. When you're working in the studio, you need to be able to hear your sound with complete clarity to make sure the recording will sound great even on high-fi audio systems. Studio monitors are designed for that purpose—when every note is crucial and every vocal has to be just right, you need a playback system that reproduces every nuance of the sound. Studio monitors come in two varieties: powered (or active) and unpowered (passive). When making your decision, it's important to know the difference.
Powered monitors have an onboard amplifier, which enables them to perform simply by being plugged in to a power outlet and an audio source. That makes powered monitors easy to set up, so they're a good choice for a hobby studio or for audiophiles looking to get the best sound quality they can when listening to their favorite tunes.
Unpowered monitors, on the other hand, need an external amplifier to work. If you're a discerning pro, you might prefer unpowered monitors for the ability to use the same amp head in the studio that you use onstage. An unpowered studio monitor also helps to minimize interference and buzz, since there are no electrical power components in the monitor's cabinet itself. Whichever type of monitor sounds best for you, make sure to take size and power into account. If your studio is small, a compact pair of monitors should do the trick. If you're working with a bigger soundstage, or shopping for monitors to use as home stereo speakers, you'll probably want to go larger. Another thing to keep in mind is where on the spectrum your music sits.
If you have a lot of low-end frequencies in your sound, go for monitors with bigger woofers to make sure they deliver the punchiest bass. Finally, since some monitors are sold individually and others are sold in a pair, make sure you're picking up two for a stereo setup. A good studio monitor isn't limited to just the studio—you can use it anywhere you want high-quality playback, whether that's for recreational listening at home or professional sound booth use. Powerful enough monitors can even stand in for a speaker stack in smaller venues. However you plan to put them to use, your monitors are as personal a choice as your mixing gear, controllers and instruments, so finding the best ones to suit your needs is just as crucial.

No idea how to do this, I used to have these conic shapes committed to memory but I forget them already.
I am supposed to find an equation for the circle that has center $(-1, 4)$ and passes through $(3, -2)$.
I tried graphing it, but it didn't help since the point was not in a straight line with the center and I have no idea what the diameter is.

Is there an upper limit to the number of orbits an electron can have around say a proton? Arent there states that are unstable(for n!=1) with corresponding mean/half lives and therefore uncertainty in energy.
So how do we differentiate between 2 n values (say v1,v2) esp if the uncertainty associated with their energy levels gets larger to the order of the energy difference associated with the transition?
Also is it known that we can predict the following data with only computation resources being a bottleneck?

Act to bypass undocumented immigrants
|Farm laborer Javier Carreon talks to Dr. Luis Martinez during an exam at Clinica Sierra Vista in Fresno, California. Carreon is one of the many undocumented immigrants who delay care because they are poor, uninsured and in the country illegally. (Mark Crosse/Fresno Bee/MCT)
"I hardly come to the doctor. I just came because it's very painful; it's very strong," he said in Spanish in an exam room at the Clinica Sierra Vista health center.
He is one of many immigrants who delay care because they are poor, uninsured and in the country illegally.
And that's unlikely to change under Obamacare or immigration reform.
Beginning next year, the federal Affordable Care Act will provide insurance to millions of low-income people who now lack it. But tens of thousands of undocumented workers in the central San Joaquin Valley will remain ineligible for coverage.
Even immigrants who are in the U.S. legally may be hurt by health reform rules. Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed that starting next year, recent arrivals would have to buy insurance through the state health benefits exchange rather than get Medi-Cal — even if they are eligible. Critics of the plan say it would deny health benefits to low-income immigrants.
And because immigration reform is likely to contain built-in delays to health benefits, community health centers and hospital emergency departments will have to continue providing health care for the uninsured immigrant — with maybe less money to do so.
Last month, congressional Republicans, Senate Democrats and the president vowed to establish comprehensive immigration reform that could be a road to citizenship for an estimated 121,000 undocumented immigrants in the Valley — and 2.6 million statewide.
But citizenship won't provide an immediate path to health benefits for immigrants. Both immigration reform plans — one by the president and another spearheaded by Republican Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and John McCain of Arizona — propose to make undocumented immigrants wait to qualify for government-subsidized health benefits while they are in the process of becoming citizens. The president's plan would make immigrants wait eight years; the wait under the Republican plan would be at least 10 years.
Some experts believe both scenarios would create an interim period in which even wider gaps develop between the haves and have-nots of health care.
"There's no reason to make people wait," said Harry Foster, chief executive officer of Family HealthCare Network, which operates clinics for low-income people in Tulare and Kings counties. "They're going to start on a path to citizenship, we should get them in (the health care system) right away."
Sandra Celedon-Castro, programs manager for outreach and enrollment at Clinica Sierra Vista, said the proposals would create "a sub-class of folks — we're telling them, 'you're not deserving of a basic right — health care.' "
It's also creating "a system that says, wait until something really bad happens and then go to the emergency room for care, which is the most costly care," she said.
Under federal law, hospitals must provide care to all, regardless of citizenship status or ability to pay.
Legal immigrants also would have to wait for health benefits. Obama has cited the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, which bans green card holders from public benefits for five years.
Up to this point in California, legal immigrants haven't been subject to the five-year time restriction for enrollment in Medi-Cal, but that could change in 2014.
Brown wants recent immigrants who are eligible for Medi-Cal to buy insurance through Covered California, the state health benefits exchange. The government-subsidized exchange was created to help people find affordable health plans.
Spurring the governor's plan is state legislation that would expand Medi-Cal eligibility from 100 percent of poverty to 138 percent as part of Obamacare. Medi-Cal is California's version of Medicaid, the state-federal insurance for the low-income and disabled.
For the first few years under Obamacare, the federal government will pay 100 percent for the increased Medi-Cal enrollment, but eventually, the state will have to pay a share of the cost for the expanded program.
The governor's plan takes that into consideration, said Gary Herbst, senior vice president and chief financial officer at Kaweah Delta Health Care District in Visalia. "I understand the governor's concern about being cautious about how expansive (Medi-Cal) becomes," he said.
But advocates for immigrants say insurance through Covered California will be unaffordable to many.
Legal immigrants "should be treated no differently than any other low-income person and should be able to enroll in Medi-Cal as they can today," said Ronald Coleman, government affairs manager at the California Immigrant Policy Center, a Sacramento-based immigration advocacy organization.
Celedon-Castro worries that immigrants here legally who can't afford insurance will go outside the state exchange for health benefits, and "predatory insurance companies can take advantage of them" by taking their money and not providing coverage.
Most of the undocumented immigrants in the Valley can't afford private insurance. Even if they can pay out-of-pocket to see doctors, very few physicians accept patients without insurance, Celedon-Castro said: "They refer them to the hospital."
But the undocumented immigrant, like anyone else, wants to stay healthy by having regular doctor visits, she said last week as she interpreted for patients at Clinica Sierra Vista.
Noemi Hernandez, 53, of Kerman, tries to get her husband to go to the doctor. He has high blood pressure and other health problems, but he refuses to get care until he is really sick — and then he can wind up at a hospital, which happened to him recently.
"He thought he was having a heart attack, and they did give him the care at the hospital, and he was discharged the next day," Hernandez said. Doctors at the hospital told him to see a doctor in the community for follow-up care, advice he didn't take, she said.
Her husband would be more likely to see a doctor regularly if he had health insurance, Hernandez said.
Without it, many undocumented immigrants have no alternative to medical care than a hospital emergency department. Federal law requires hospitals to treat anyone who shows up, and that won't change in 2014 with the Affordable Care Act.
"We're blind to the patient's insurance or lack of insurance. We're blind to their immigration status, their citizenship or lack of citizenship," said Herbst of Kaweah Delta.
Right now, about 8 percent to 10 percent of Kaweah's patients are uninsured, he said.
The Affordable Care Act should reduce the number of patients who lack insurance. As many as 84 percent of California's 7 million uninsured will qualify for coverage, according to a 2011 study by the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California at Los Angeles.
But under Obamacare, hospitals could have less money to take care of the remaining uninsured, including undocumented immigrants.
Hospitals will get more funds from Medi-Cal as more uninsured Californians are enrolled in the program, but any increase will be more than offset by a loss of funds from Medicare, the federal insurance for the elderly and disabled, Herbst said. "They're taking a lot more out of Medicare than we're getting back for the uninsured."
Counties also are waiting to learn how the Affordable Care Act could affect the safety net programs they now have for people without health coverage.
In Fresno County, a $20 million yearly contract with Community Regional Medical Center to provide care for the indigent and undocumented immigrants could be in jeopardy as the state looks at ways to recoup money from counties for indigent health care.
The Medi-Cal expansion would shift the responsibility and the cost of coverage from the counties to the state, which makes it "appropriate to redirect the state funds that currently go to the counties for this coverage," said Norman Williams, deputy director at the California Department of Health Care Services.
"The administration is committed to our ongoing work with counties to determine the appropriate shift of funding and the structure for the Medi-Cal expansion."
Community health centers are uneasy about what could happen to federal funding they now get to take care of patients without insurance.
"We're all wondering what happens to our federal grant dollars if a larger percent of our patients coming in the door have some kind of coverage of one source or another," said Stephen Schilling, chief executive officer at Clinica Sierra Vista.
Community health centers don't ask patients about citizenship, so it's difficult to know how many of the uninsured are undocumented immigrants. About 40 percent of patients at Clinica Sierra Vista clinics in Fresno and Bakersfield don't have insurance, Schilling said, and it's possible that undocumented workers are as much as 20 percent of the uninsured.
And the undocumented will continue to get care, he said. "We're still going to be here for them. We're not going anyplace."

Fix $k$ to be a local field. Given a affine algebraic variety say irreducible in $k^n$ (e.g. $X = Z(P_1,\ldots P_r)$) and $G = SL_n$ viewed as the usual algebraic group. The symmetry group of $X$ is defined to be the stabilizer of $X$ under the action of $G$ on the $P_i$'s. For example for a quadric $Q = 0$ the symmetry group is the orthogonal group of $Q$ which is known to be semisimple. My question is to know whether they are other examples of algebraic affine variety which has a semisimple group of symmetry?
I am consolidating my comments above into an answer, because the comments were getting too long (and also I want to correct some mistakes in my comments). Let $W$ be a finite dimensional $k$-vector space of dimension $r$. Let $V$ be the finite-dimensional $k$-vector space $\text{Hom}_k(W,W)$. Let $G$ be $\text{SL}(W)$, the group of linear automorphisms $g$ of $W$ with determinant $1$. Let $\rho:G \to \text{SL}(V)$ be the linear action $g\cdot M = gM$. The $G$-orbit $O$ of $\text{Id}_W \in V$ is an isomorphic copy of $G$, just the image of the usual embedding of $\text{SL}(W)$ in $\text{Hom}_k(W,W)$. Let $L:V\to V$ be any linear transformation that maps the orbit $O$ to itself.
Then, since $L$ is linear, it also preserves the open subset that is the "affine cone" over $O$, i.e., the
image of the
Of course the closed subset $C$ has a singular stratification, which is the same as the stratification of $\text{Hom}_k(W,W)$ by rank. The linear transformation $L$ preserves every stratum in this stratification. The smallest stratum is $\{ 0 \}$. The next smallest stratum is the locus of rank $1$ matrices $w\otimes \chi$, for $w\in W$ and $\chi\in W^\vee$. Every linear transformation that preserves this locus is of the form $L(M) = AMB$ for (not necessarily unique) matrices $A,B\in \text{GL}(W)$.
Of course $L(\text{Id}_W)$ is in the orbit $O$ if and only if $\text{det}(AB)$ equals $1$. Up to scaling $A$ and $B$ by inverse factors (so $\text{det}(AB)$ is still $1$), $L$ is of the form $L(M)=AMB$ for $A,B\in \text{SL}(W)$. Thus the stabilizer of the orbit $O$ is precisely the image of the homomorphism $$\lambda: \text{SL}(W)\times \text{SL}(W)^{\text{opp}} \to \text{SL}(V), \ \ \lambda(A,B)(M) = AMB. $$ Thus, via the obvious embedding of $SL(W)$ in $V=\text{Hom}_k(W,W)$, $SL(W)$ has semisimple stabilizer.
One way to construct these is to take a semisimple group $G$, a faithful representation $G \to SL_n$, and to just look at the orbits of that action. Often these orbits will have the requisite symmetry group.
A generalization of your two examples is provided by taking affine cones on flag varieties. Flag varieties of semisimple algebraic groups are always projective, so they have cones which are affine varieties, and the connected component of the identity of their symmetry group is always the original algebraic group. Your examples can both be viewed in this way.
Dear Jason, thank you for your brilliant answer my first motivation was to obtain an affine variety given by explicit equations which are left invariant by the action of an isotropic semisimple algebraic group $G$. My motivation is to apply strong approximation to the universal cover of $G$ (this is the reason I need semisimplicty because such isogeny that not exists in general).
This problem is to find a kind of "Inverse invariant theory" (in analogy with Inverse Galois theory), that is, given a algebraic group $G$ to find an algebraic variety which has symmetry group equal to $G$, the problem looks extremely difficult but my question was to know if there is such example known, the only examples I know comes for the theory of prehomgeneous spaces (see arxiv paper, Yukie, Prehomogenous spaces and ergodic theory).

Considering their similar records, one might have expected a pair of close games between Pratt Community College and Brown Mackie as the teams squared off Monday in a softball doubleheader at Angood Field. And that's exactly what happened. Pratt took both ends of the twin bill by identical counts of 7-6.
In game one, Pratt was up 4-3 going into the bottom of the 5th. Brenda Novelo doubled and scored on an RBI single by Taylor Oldham (who went 4-4 in the game) to go up 5-3. Brown Mackie (not to be confused with the similarly named Mack Brownie) got the run back in the top of the 6th and appeared to be on the verge of a big inning, but some nice Beaver defense squelched the rally. With runners on base, a Mackie Lion smacked a single scoring the runner from 3rd and other runners were moving up, but a well-executed cut-off play from CF Kelsie Lundgren to 1B Oldham to 3B Novelo resulted in a put-out of the Mackie baserunner at 3rd to end the threat.
After PCC went quietly in the 6th, Mackie plated a pair in their top of the 7th to take a 6-5 lead, but PCC refused to fold. Novelo again led off the inning with a double and was plated on an RBI single by Sam Garrison to send the game to extras. Ely Ortega had relieved Raushell Baca on the mound in the 6th inning for PCC, and set the Mackies down in the top of the 8th.
Lead-off hitter Kelsie Lundgren singled and stole 2nd to open PCCs half of the 8th. Then, with 2 outs, Novelo looped a ball into centerfield that doinked off the diving center fielder's glove and fell in for a hit as the speedy Lundgren raced home from 2nd carrying the winning run in her pocket. Game one went to PCC 7-6.
In the nightcap, PCC and Brown Mackie passed the lead back and forth four times, but Pratt finally prevailed by another 7-6 score. Brenda Novelo had the decisive blow, a 2-run big fly that also scored Rachael Schoonmaker. Lundgren did her job as a table-setter, going 4-4 in the contest with a pair of doubles. Sam Garrison had a multi-hit, multi-RBI game as well. Schoonmaker's RBI double accounted for the balance of the PCC scoring.
Ely Ortega again got the win in relief of Baca, pitching the final two innings and allowing no runs.
PCC has two more doubleheaders this week, at Hesston on Tuesday and with #1 ranked Butler on Thursday. Currently, the Beavers are 13-13 in the Jayhawk, and 21-23 overall.

NIPCC IR1 - Chapter 2 - Forcings and Feedbacks
Chapter 2 summarizes the latest research on what is known about forcings and feedbacks. While rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) would increase global temperatures through its thermal radiative properties, all else being equal, all else is not equal. More CO2 promotes more plant growth both on land and throughout the surface waters of the world's oceans, and this vast assemblage of plant life has the ability to affect Earth's climate in several ways, almost all of them tending to counteract the heating effects of CO2's thermal radiative forcing.

Colorado will continue on the road to recovery and add a variety of jobs in 2013 across almost all business sectors following a positive year in 2012, according to economist Richard Wobbekind of the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
Wobbekind's announcement is part of the 48th annual Colorado Business Economic Outlook Forum presented Dec. 3 by the Business Research Division of the Leeds School. The comprehensive outlook for 2013 features forecasts and trends for 13 business sectors prepared by more than 100 key business, government and industry professionals.
"For the state, we see a very positive environment for 2013," said Wobbekind, executive director of the Business Research Division. "We're seeing a wide array of jobs being added and they're diversifying our state economy."
Overall, the forecast calls for a gain of 42,100 jobs in 2013, compared with a gain of about 47,900 jobs this year. All sectors of the Colorado economy are predicted to grow in 2013 with the exception of the information sector, which includes publishing and telecommunications.
When comparing the Leeds School forecast to employment outlooks for other states, Colorado is expected to be in the top 10 states for job growth in 2013 and perhaps in the top six or seven, according to Wobbekind.
The strongest sector for projected job growth in Colorado in 2013 is the educational and health services sector. The sector is expected to add 7,600 jobs in 2013.
In addition, other leading growth sectors for 2013 include the professional and business services sector with 7,400 jobs added and leisure and hospitality with 5,000 workers added, mostly in the areas of accommodation and food services.
Commenting on the overall forecast, Wobbekind said, "It's great to be giving positive news to people year after year. Confidence levels nationally are at their highest levels in five years. We're really starting to see a lot more optimism on the part of the average person on the street about the future."

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) may sound like a plot from a science fiction movie, but it's an actual phenomenon that can occur during a twin pregnancy. Undetected or untreated, it can have devastating consequences for the babies. However, new treatment options give doctors the ability to correct the situation and offer new hope to parents impacted by the disease.
The effects of TTTS can produce a great deal of variability in the appearance of monozygotic or "identical" twins. The donor twin is usually much smaller and paler, while the recipient twin is larger with a ruddier complexion.
TTTS, also known as feto-fetal transfusion syndrome or stuck twin syndrome, is a disease of the placenta. It doesn't make the mother sick, and its effect on the babies is environmental, not direct. In other words, the babies will begin to develop perfectly normally, but because the placenta they depend on to supply oxygen and nutrition malfunctions, they risk heart failure, brain trauma, and damage to their organs.
The placenta circulates blood and nutrients from the mother to her babies. Within a shared placenta, blood vessels called chorioangiopagous vessels may develop, connecting the circulatory systems of both babies via the placenta. This causes an unequal exchange of blood flow between the babies. Essentially, one fetus becomes a donor, pumping blood into the second, recipient fetus. This situation causes problems for both babies, with the donor twin not getting enough blood and the recipient receiving an excess.
The donor twin is at risk for anemia, intrauterine growth retardation, and restricted amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios). While the donor's growth is stunted, the recipient twin grows larger and larger. The extra blood overloads his circulatory system and puts him at risk for heart failure. As he struggles to process the extra blood, his urine production results in an excess of amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). Eventually, polyhydramnios can trigger the onset of preterm labor and both babies are at risk of being born too early to survive outside the womb.
As the amount of fluid surrounding the recipient twin increases, the donor twin may be pushed to one side of the uterus. As her fluid levels decrease, she may appear to be stuck to the wall of the womb. Thus, the term "stuck twin syndrome" has been used to describe this condition.
The timing of the disease ultimately determines the prognosis for the babies. It is easier to overcome later in pregnancy, when the simplest solution is to deliver the babies. Although they may face the consequences of a premature birth, they will escape the threat to their survival that exists if they remain in the womb. However, if the onset of TTTS occurs earlier, before the babies are viable, the situation is more dire, although there are treatment options. There are five stages of TTTS:
When TTTS is detected in the second trimester, it is usually termed chronic or severe. After twenty-four weeks, it is defined as moderate. When it occurs later in the third trimester, it is labeled mild or acute.
Not all twins are at risk for the condition. It only affects a percentage of monozygotic twins, those individuals resulting from one egg. Depending on when the egg splits and implants, monozygotic twins may develop individual placentas or share a single placenta. TTTS only occurs when there is a single, shared placenta.
The term monochorionic describes twins that are joined in a single chorion, the membrane that attaches to a single placenta. Only monochorionic twins are at risk for TTTS because they are the only type whose circulatory systems may connect through the placenta. Although there has been some speculation that two fused placentas could develop a circulatory connection susceptible to TTTS, researchers of the disease confirm that it is simply not feasible.
TTTS only affects monozygotic twins. It occurs in about a third of monochorionic pregnancies, or less than 10 percent of all identical twins. If untreated, it has as much as an 80 percent fetal mortality rate.
One of the reasons that a multiple pregnancy is subjected to closer scrutiny is so TTTS can be detected. Doctors use ultrasound to assess the risk by determining the number of placentas. If there is just one, subsequent ultrasounds will follow the babies' growth and development, as well as the amount of amniotic fluid, to confirm that it remains equalized. If a discrepancy develops, further ultrasound testing may reveal the presence of too much or too little amniotic fluid around each baby, a sure sign that a shared circulatory connection is shunting blood between the babies.
In past times, babies affected by TTTS were doomed. Without ultrasound technology to detect the disorder, it was likely that one or both of the babies would die in utero, or that they would be born too early to survive. Now, not only does sonography enable doctors to diagnose the condition, new treatments allow it to be cured.
Up until very recently, the primary treatment approach was to stave off preterm labor until the babies were viable and could be delivered. This was accomplished by draining the excess fluid surrounding the recipient twin. Amnioreduction, a procedure similar to amniocentesis, was performed at regular intervals to remove fluid from the recipient baby's amnionic sac. While it is generally effective in stabilizing the situation, it carries the same risks as amniocentesis, including infection and miscarriage. It also does not compensate for the damage occurring to the donor twin.
In the 1990s, Dr. Julian DeLia developed an amazing procedure that allows doctors to correct TTTS by using a laser to seal off the connections in the placenta. The procedure is performed while the babies are still in utero, using a fetoscope, a powerful telescope allowing a surgeon to see inside the womb through a tiny incision. A 2004 study confirmed that this procedure, fetoscopic laser coagulation, produces a better outcome for the babies.
Treatment for TTTS depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy, and to which stage the disease has progressed. Fetoscopic laser surgery is available in half a dozen facilities in the United States as well as other locations in Australia and Europe. As studies confirm its success in treating TTTS, it will become more widely available in the next few years.

Trying to learn about bicycles. I have heard the term "road" bike a lot. What is the difference between a "road" bike and a regular bike?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Yes, all bikes could ride on roads. However, a road bike is one that's optimized for riding on smooth pavement. It usually has skinny tires (no wider than 32mm, often much narrower) with a very light tread. (If they have any tread at all. Some road tires, such as the Kojac, are treadless or "bald", to cut down on rolling resistance.) Road bikes usually have handlebars that are designed to be comfortable for long stretches of time, sacrificing a little bit of fine control that you'd get with a wider flat bar or riser bar.
By way of contrast, mountain bikes come with wider tires that have more agressive tread ("knobby" tires) designed to grip gravel or dirt.
Road bikes can sometimes ride on packed dirt or gravel, but the ride will be very harsh. A bike optimized for off-road will be easier to control and can ride on surfaces that'd be problematic on a road bike, such as rocks, gravel, loose dirt, or pockets of sand. There are even bikes that will accept extra-wide tires (3 - 4"). People who ride on very bad roads that have had potholes and cracks installed copiously may prefer a mountain bike to a road bike, or may decide to get a hybrid bike, which is exactly what it sounds like.
In the end, road bikes can sometimes do a little bit of off-roading, and mountain bikes can ride on the pavement, but these kind of bikes have different strengths.
There are at least three kinds of bike:

Can I give a big thank you to the staff at Woot!?
Even though there were a ton of glitches, I got to say, I bought more stuff in this woot-off than I have ever purchased. Between the $5 all you can ship deal to seeing the percentage of product left under the yellow bar, I really enjoyed myself. I saved myself $20 because of the shipping deal.
So, thank you for some fun products and thank you @jumbowoot for the $5 coupon that paid for my all day shipping.
13 Answers answer
I too bought more this woot-off than ever before, and I agree that it had to do with the all day shipping. So I don't know whether to say thanks for encouraging me to buy more or say darn you for encouraging me to buy more!! :)
Seriously though, thanks for saving me the cost of shipping on the additional items I purchased!
Shouldn't they be thanking people for buying things?
I went nuts too! While I was a little disappointed that I (still) haven't gotten a chance at the BOC, there were some AWESOME deals. I usually only make one or two purchases during a woot off, on things that I really want or need, but this time I made 7 purchases :) Thanks woot!
I didn't buy anything this time around, but not for lack of trying. I just kept missing my chance.
Fortunately, the coupon will keep through October. I'm sure I can find something by then.
I admit, I had lost faith in woot earlier this year. Woot-offs were crappy, most things were being sold at the same price during regular woots, and then as soon as this new Amazon spam-feel redesign happened I had just about given up. But yesterday's woot-off I actually watched more closely, was pretty happy with most of the deals, and even bought two things! So it looks like I'll be staying around for a bit longer, thanks!
Glad (at least some of you) had fun. That makes me happy to hear and we'll be sure to pass this on. :)
Thanks for enticing me to save my coupons for another day.
Well you could thank them, but I think they'd love you more if you sent them donuts, tacos, and cammo netting.
Thanks a lot for flat rate shipping. I can't check now but I want to say I saved 100 dollars because of it
+1 for the UHF-referential name.
The way you all say thanks leave the developers and operations guys a little sore, but everyone appreciates it nonetheless.
@riknik: The librarian side of me tries to always be kind and very quiet. The Barbarian side of me, well....

Music Interviews
Deep In The Desert, Monks Make Transcendent Music
Hear The Music
Sequence: Ave mundi spes Maria
Salve festa dies
If you drive about an hour and a half north of Santa Fe, N.M., into a place called the Chama Canyon, you might hear the clanging of church bells in the distance. The Monastery of Christ in the Desert was founded there in 1964 and is home to a community of Benedictine monks. They spend their days in prayer, work, meditation — and music.
For years, the monks have generated revenue for the monastery by making and selling beer and handicrafts. Now they've launched another venture: sharing their distinct sound. They recently released an album of Gregorian chant, appropriately titled Blessings, Peace and Harmony. Abbott Philip Lawrence and Brother Christian Leisy from the monastery spoke with Weekend Edition Sunday host Rachel Martin.
"We come to the church throughout the day as a community to pray and sing," Leisy said. "It's a wonderful expression of joy [or] even sorrow, but of offering one's thoughts and all of one's deeds outside the church to God. One of the best ways to do it in our tradition throughout the ages has been through singing — and not just in the Catholic tradition or even just in the monastic tradition. To chant, to sing, engages one's whole being, really."

The Brazilian defender scored his first goal in MLS to help Columbus earn a draw against the reigning Supporters' Shield champs.For the fifth time in their last six meetings, the Columbus Crew and the San Jose Earthquakes tied. Two second half goals by defenders meant the match finished 1-1.
The Crew opened the scoring through Glauber. Federico Higain sent a corner into the box, where the Brazilian defender hurled himself at the ball, crashing a header into the bottom corner.
Justin Morrow notched the game's other goal in the 73rd minute. He hit the ball with his laces from the edge of the box and it beat Andy Gruenebaum at the far post.

Recently i went for a short (1 hour) walk through the caves of Cocaliere in the ardeche in France. During the very touristic trip, although still quite interesting, we were guided passed two tents, from where the initial explorers searched the surrounding. The idea of being able to explore through a cave for more then one day seems quite tempting and adventurous. Is this possible while not being an experienced speleologist?
It looks like there are quite a few, with this page giving a good start.
Hölloch Caverns, Switzerland
Hölloch Caverns is the second largest cave system in the world and extends as much as 118 miles in length. There's a basic touristy, light section, but guided tours and multi-day expeditions in the cave for advanced spelunkers are available as well.
Dan yr Ogof, Wales
This ten mile long cave system in south Wales is thought to go as far as 150 miles. It's a major showcave and considered the greatest natural wonder in Britain, but also a favorite site for European cavers.
Ease Gill, England
The wide variety of caving routes and a stunning river passage, the main Drain, make this UK cave one of the top in all of Europe for spelunking. The longest system in the British Isles.
Plus others, but these sound like the longest.
Cumberland Caverns has overnight tours.
Finally you could ask on the National Spelunking Society site - yes it's US, but their cavechat forum has a lot of people who can give suggestsions based on skill and ability.

Model Shares Surprising Beauty Tip For Blondes
Eva Herzigova's resourceful beauty secret can be found in your freezer
Eva Herzigova is 40, which means she's outlasted the average model career-span by... nearly double? Not only does she thrive as a veteran in a cutthroat industry that favors youth, but she also doesn't look a day over 25. "Ageless" would be the word, and what does Herzigova have to thank for her enduring beauty but vodka?
Don't get too excited just yet: she hasn't discovered the fountain of youth in a bottle of Grey Goose (but we figure that scientific revelation is well on its way). In an interview with French Marie Claire, Eva divulged that it's not drinking vodka that gives her that preternatural glow, but rather using it as an elixir to lighten her blonde hair. Why didn't anyone tell us about this sooner?
RELATED: 5 Sneaky Ways Alcohol Affects Your Health and Beauty (and How to Prevent Them)
The model also advises not getting too much sun, drinking plenty of water, resting, and love as the things that keep her young, but we're not fooled. We're off now to soak our heads in vats of vodka to give us baby blonde locks like Eva's. Seriously though, have you ever tried this unorthodox beauty trick? Will you give it a shot (ha!) now?

This question already has an answer here:
- How do I build a house for my NPCs? 8 answers
I built myself a decent sized house with a basement and it said it wasn't valid housing. So I built another one that is a very simple room with walls (dirt walls on the background, wood "walls") a door, two doors, a table, a chair, floors and light sources. I've gone over and over it and made sure there are dirt walls everywhere. It still says it's invalid housing.

CALDWELL (January 7, 2013)—A Caldwell teenager was fighting for life Monday in a Houston hospital after he was critically injured in a two-vehicle crash Saturday night.
The crash at around 8:45 p.m. Saturday in Burleson County near Lyons shut down traffic on FM 60 East for about two hours.
Department of Public Safety Trooper, Sgt. David Adkins said Christopher Schultz, 16, was driving east at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle, which veered into the path of a westbound Dodge truck.
Schultz suffered a serious head injury in the crash.
He was transported to St. Joseph Hospital in Bryan where he underwent emergency surgery and then was airlifted to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
Adkins says the two people who were riding in the pickup were not injured.
They were wearing seatbelts, but Schulz was not, Adkins said.
