YOUNGSTOWN — A 29-year-old Meadowbrook Avenue man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to a single count of raping a 10-year-old boy in 2002.
Judge James C. Evans of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court imposed the maximum sentence Friday on Nicholas C. Congemi, who must serve the full decade in prison.
In the plea deal, the prosecution agreed to drop two other rape counts and one count of gross sexual imposition.
The single rape count to which Congemi pleaded guilty was reduced from one carrying a potential life prison term to a charge carrying three to 10 years in prison.
Dawn Cantalamessa, assistant county prosecutor, recommended the full 10 years in prison for Congemi.

Leniency in a rape crime?
Ten years is far less than I would expect, if I were the boy's parent's.
If I was the boy's parent, he would not serve the 10 years. It would be hard to do that 6 feet under.
i commented on this, in similar terms as above, when it was first talked about a few weeks back, and my comment disappeared. obviously we don't know all the details, but it does sound soft. the prosecutor agreed however.
As I am concerned the lack of justice isn't in the plea deal, it is the maximum sentence. Plea Deals are good for the expediting the judicial process, and the best reason to take a plea deal in this type of case, is to keep the victim from having to testify, but ten years? That is the maximum allowed for this type of crime? In another country he would have been stoned to death.
This is one of those times when the punishment does not fit the crime.

To all the Moms of 17 month olds:
Are your kids in a toddler bed? Starting potty training? Eating well? Taking Vitamins? What is their sleeping pattern?
Lots of questions... clearly I'm a FTM
To all the Moms of 17 month olds:
Are your kids in a toddler bed? Starting potty training? Eating well? Taking Vitamins? What is their sleeping pattern?
Lots of questions... clearly I'm a FTM
my son is still in a crin. (I was thinking of putting him in a bed since i'm having baby #2 in a few days, but he had not started climbing out yet so we bought her a new crib) and he's staying in his crib.
not even close to potty training!
he doens't eat well. he's so picky! hes still on formula (allergic to milk) but we are trying to intrduce milk slowely and see how he does. he has a few foods he likes, and wont try new foods. he sees a pathologist for feding evals, but its not physical, and its not sensory, so he's just picky!
sinxe he's on formula, he doesnt take any vitamins. when he's fully on milk he will (i think, i'll need to ask his pedi)
he goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps till 7:30-8am.
takes one 1.5hr nap a day, when he's tired, not at a set time.
My DD's in a toddler bed, she was co-sleeping with us until a few weeks ago but she transitioned well. She climbs on everything so we didn't bother trying the crib first and went straight to the toddler bed. She sleeps about 10 hours a night, but doesn't nap during the day.
She loves to sit on the potty and when I notice her grunting I will put her on it so she can poop in the potty, but not really potty training yet.
She is a good eater, she pretty much eats everything in sight lol, she is a little chunky butt. She doesn't take any vitamins.
Mommy to Jacob Daniel (1/31/09) & Alyson Elizabeth 5/17/11 & Baby #3 (due 12/25/2015)
@liani - nope, she quit taking naps right after her birthday, I wish she would take one, this is on the go non-stop lol.
Mommy to Jacob Daniel (1/31/09) & Alyson Elizabeth 5/17/11 & Baby #3 (due 12/25/2015)
My son is still in a crib. We will probably transition to a toddler bed sometime between 2 and 2.5, unless he starts trying to climb out sooner. He sleeps from 8pm-8:30am or 9 am. Sometimes he naps sometimes he doesn't, but when he does it is usually for 1.5-2 hours (he usually goes down for a nap at 2pm). He sits on the potty some, but we are not actively potty training. He is a wonderful eater, and doesn't take any vitamins.
***Proud ARMY WIFE***.
Our First Baby Came Early and her EDD was 6*3*11
Our Little Tootlebug was born on May 14,2011!!
Maggie will be transitioning into a toddler bed on Tuesday. She is a great sleeper (unless she's teething). She goes to bed around 7am and sleeps until 9am. She then takes about an hour or so nap from 1-2pm. She's is also a great eater (unless she's teething...). I really haven't found anything that she doesn't eat. We haven't started any vitamins because she eats very well. As far as potty training... My (almost) 28 month old is just starting to take interest in learning. There is no way Maggie's ready!

" On the way to the Valley of the Nile" Qina Transportation Tip by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Qina Transportation: 3 reviews and 8 photos
The road between Qena (Qina) towards the Red Sea is a major traffic route between Upper Egypt and the Red Sea.
Having overcome about 100 kilometers of mountains between Safaga and Qena, we have appeared in the valley of the Nile. The landscape has sharply changed. There were grass and palm trees around the road. The presence of green life has encouraged me. Therefore the following 67 kilometers (Road #02 Qena-Luxor) of the trip have been saturated by landscapes of the valley of the Nile: fields, channels, inhabited constructions, etc. It was another Egypt! It was very interesting to watch boiling life through the window.

Open Government
Federal agencies are performing poorly when it comes to answering Freedom of Information Act requests, communicating current policies to requesters and maintaining online portals for filing, according to a new report from the Center for Effective Government.
An analysis of the FOIA practices of the 15 agencies that received about 90 percent of all requests in fiscal 2012 indicated a lack of a consistent approach to implementing the law, and wide disparities among agencies in responding to requests.
No agency earned an "A" on what is billed as the first-ever FOIA report card.
The Social Security Administration was the top performer across the government, earning a B grade mostly on the basis of processing a high volume of requests in a timely manner, even though its disclosure rules and website were not among the government-wide leaders. The Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency scored among the leaders for effectively communicating their policies and maintaining a usable website, despite not scoring very high in answering requests.
The State Department ranked at the bottom, responding to just 1 percent of requests within 20 days, and fully denying 44 percent of all requests, by far the highest percentage of denials across the government.
Typically, agencies are supposed to respond to simple requests within 20 days. Complex requests can take longer, especially when documents must be retrieved from archival sources. The National Archives and Records Administration, which helps develop government-wide FOIA policy, train records officers and is seen as a leader in open government issues, scored low on response times possibly in part because of the complexity and breadth of the records under its purview.
Security agencies predictably scored among the lowest when it came to accommodating requests. However, some non-security agencies also ranked among the least responsive, with the Department of Labor fully answering just 24 percent of requests. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission fully complied with just 4 percent of requests.
The raw numbers might conceal some of the story. Some requests are made for ineligible information, and many contain errors. Additionally, there is a disparity in the reported caseload of FOIA staffers at agencies. At EEOC, the average FOIA staffer is responsible for more than 500 requests a year; at EPA, the average caseload is 76.
The Center for Effective Government recommends agencies keep pace with updated FOIA rules and integrate IT into their FOIA management. Software could help with processing some categories of requests automatically, without the need for human intervention. Agencies can also help keep pace by posting frequently requested material online in a FOIA reading room – a practice employed by many agencies. The report also recommends that Congress codify fee-assessment procedures and expand the authority of the Office of Government Information Services, the FOIA ombudsman housed at NARA, to make policy recommendations directly to Congress and the White House without a review period.

Just some thoughts - Timken is the same companytoday April 15th at 19 1/2 as it was last week at 17.Seems like a handfull of Wall Street types havedetermined that the big caps are overvalued (we could havetold them that) and that the internet stocks are agamble (Warren Buffet told them that). Now it seems WallStreet is looking for companies that actually have aprofit and make something worthwhile AND aren'tovervalued. Timken certainly fills the bill. Those of us whoare long suffering "value investors" seem to be backin fashion! TKR at 25?

After some map reading basics and instruction on following a compass bearing, we practiced briefly in the open field in front of the ski lodge.
Then we hiked to the junction of the Stony Ledge and Roaring Brook trails. We calculated the bearing to the prominent turn in Sperry Road, and decided to "aim off" for the "S" in Sperry Road on the map.
In three separate groups, we traveled a distance of one mile and 1200' vertical over steep uneven terrain, including a gorge at the very beginning where we had to choose one side or the other.
The intended bearing is the bottom red line, and the actual bearing for one group is the top red line. We were off by less than two-and-a-half degrees, which translated into about 200 feet - nice job!
The decision making that got us here was a perfect application [albeit unintentionally so] of an avalanche-related phenomenon that I had brought up the previous evening...
A ski patrol Mountain Travel and Rescue course with actual mountain travel!
Almost there!
Our third instructor, Eric Z., had hiked up to our campground in the dark at the end of the first day. I was surprised that he'd brought a helmet and ice axe, although turned out not to be so bad an idea...
Back at the ski club lodge/hut, we wrapped up the course with a demonstration of winter travel gear and then some hands-on emergency sled construction. We had four setups:
- Don R. brought his own setup.
- I brought the new K2 Rescue Shovel, which although designed for skis from K2 (and also La Sportiva) still works reasonably well with my Trab Duo Sint Aero skis.
- I also brought a Brooks-Range sled.
- Yet another group had to construct a sled entirely from scratch.
The final two sleds were constructed with old junky skis, so we concluded with a contest dragging the sleds up the hill.
Dan M. is still looking comfy in his Brooks-Range sled, although Alexis K. looks like her improvised sled just hit a big bump...
Both sleds held up very well on the ascent, and the improvised sled even took a pretty wild descent with Rich A. brave up enough to act as the "patient"!

Cartoon Cartoon Selfies blank meme by WickfieldWatch
©2014-2016 Wickfield
Well, I don't know if can be called a "meme" officially, but that Cartoon Cartoon Selfie pic I did awhile back got a lot of love for a non fanart piece (in my gallery, at least!) and I had several people say they wanted to do it too. So I made up a blank to help you out! It's a lot plainer than mine but I wanted to you to be able to customize it. All you have to do is draw yourself in the styles of the cartoons listed on the page.
You don't have to ask to use this, although do add a link in your description if you use it so other people can find it. Also, be sure to post a link to your finished results here so I can see!
btw this is a PNG pic, if you want the .xcf file which is a GIMP-editable file you can download that in my stash here: sta.sh/01vv5o56gy3n
Wow. Caannn I draw it?? I like your cartoon arts
I even drew comics and I usually draw the rebooted Mandark as well as Executive Mandark. I always thought executive Mandark was hotter than original Mandark. I guess u realized my username. Yep. I created this account back when I used to have a crush on Mandark. When I get premium membership, I will change it to InvaderAli.
Awesome icon :3 I used to have a rush on Mandark. Now I love Tallest Red from Invader Zim.

Arizona Cardinals
No surprise: Cardinals O-line ranked as NFL's worst
No one has to tell you the Arizona Cardinals' offensive line has struggled this season.
You have eyes, after all.
Still, to see it so officially, so statistically true is a bit disturbing, but that's exactly what ProFootballFocus.com has done.
The site produced its "Offensive Line Rankings: Week 10 Update" story, and it should come as no surprise that the Cardinals rank 32nd out of 32 teams.
According to their metrics, Arizona is league-worst in both run and pass blocking, and 21st in penalties.
Yep things haven't got much better for the Cardinals who by some distance still have the worst offensive line in the league. Nate Potter got some action and it's unlikely we've seen the last of him as D'Anthony Batiste is still our worst ranked tackle in the league by some distance. How this line remains such a mess is in excusable.
The Cardinals, who were off this week, may be making a change at left tackle by replacing Batiste with Potter. However, it remains to be seen if that will be enough to fix what has become arguably the least-effective unit in the entire NFL.

Effect of jobs numbers on presidential race is uncertain
Our take: Though this month's anticipated jobs report was thought to help sway the presidential race, it ended up being more or less anticlimactic. Nate of the Five-thirty-eight blog reported on what the job numbers mean for the race:
"Friday's jobs report was a weak one — with August's job growth more in line with the tepid growth of the spring than the stronger numbers in July or over the winter months.
"Furthermore, job-growth numbers for May and June were revised downward slightly, and manufacturing jobs — a measure that Democrats touted at various points during their convention this week in Charlotte, N.C. — fell by 15,000.
"Politically, however, it is less certain that the report is going to matter that much. The unemployment rate declined for superficial reasons, which makes for a gentler headline for President Obama."

The board's initial view, however, is that the $60-per-share offer "substantially undervalues" the firm.

Treasury to Gain Expanded Powers in U.S. Financial Overhaul
The U.S. Treasury Department under Secretary Timothy F. Geithner is coming out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression with expanded powers to guard against future threats to financial stability.
Geithner, who has managed taxpayer bailouts of companies from Citigroup Inc. to General Motors Co., would lead a council to monitor large financial firms under legislation House and Senate negotiators aim to complete by July 4. Lawmakers confirmed the council's basic functions yesterday and may approve final language next week. Geithner would also get a research unit that could demand data from banks and regulators and a new national insurance office.
The Treasury-led council's role includes identifying companies that might be shut down because they pose a risk to the financial system. That authority, even if well-intentioned, could be used for political ends, said Phillip Swagel, a former Treasury economist who's now a professor at Georgetown University in Washington.
"It's such an open-ended grant of power," said Swagel, who worked for Republican Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. "Do we really want to give that to every future administration?"
Tom Quaadman, vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness, said the legislation will give Treasury "enormous new powers."
The Treasury would also be required to approve any emergency lending by the Federal Reserve. The Fed used its emergency powers during the crisis to rescue American International Group Inc. and Bear Stearns Cos.
The Treasury's new powers are one element of legislation that Geithner has called "the most sweeping financial reform that we've considered in generations."
Council Members
The council, which also includes the chairmen of the Fed, Securities and Exchange Commission and the FDIC, would have the authority to recommend that the central bank and other agencies toughen rules to reduce risk at financial institutions.
Some of its decisions, such as ruling that a non-bank financial company should be subject to Fed supervision, couldn't be made without the Treasury secretary's approval.
"While it mostly has powers of recommendation, it clearly has the ability to affect regulation and set the agenda," said Chuck Muckenfuss, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP in Washington who specializes in financial regulation and policy.
The council would include, as a non-voting member, the director of a new Treasury financial research office. While the office isn't intended to "snoop on people," it would have broad power to ask companies for information, Swagel said.
Large Banks
The office would obtain data and conduct research on systemic risk and require banks with assets of $50 billion or more to give information not otherwise available about its financial condition and internal systems.
The success of the research office depends on how its work is used, said Mark Calabria, director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute in Washington and a former aide to Republican Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama.
"It's an open question whether the financial research done at Treasury will end up serving the policy goals of the Treasury secretary, or will they actually build a strong, independent function," Calabria said.
Geithner, 48, will be gaining authority after being the target of a public and political backlash over the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. Lawmakers including Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington state, and Representative Jeb Hensarling, a Texas Republican, said the Treasury favored Wall Street banks over Main Street.
Fed Scrutiny
As companies including Citigroup and Bank of America Corp. repaid bailout funds last year, the Treasury escaped the ire of lawmakers debating whether to curb central bank's independence and increase scrutiny of its actions. Lawmakers yesterday agreed to require greater disclosure by the central bank while rejecting a provision to make the New York Fed chief a political appointee.
Geithner met with more than a dozen senators in the weeks before the Senate's May 20 vote and urged them to support the regulatory changes. The Obama administration's proposal, released in June 2009, included a financial services oversight council to be led by Treasury.
"What's important is to have true accountability for the responsibilities granted to each government agency," Treasury spokesman Andrew Williams said.
The President's Working Group on Financial Markets, formed in response to the October 1987 stock market crash, is likely to be supplanted by the council, said Eugene A. Ludwig, chief executive officer of Promontory Financial Group and a former comptroller of the currency. The working group, led by the Treasury secretary, includes the chairmen of the Fed, SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Insurance Office
The Treasury's authority would also be extended to the insurance industry. A proposed National Office of Insurance, whose director would be appointed by the Treasury secretary, will identify regulatory weaknesses that could contribute to an industry crisis and recommend to the council of regulators that an insurer be supervised by the Fed.
The legislation falls short of proposing a so-called optional federal charter for insurance companies that allow firms to choose between the current system of state regulation or a federal overseer. Large insurers such as Allstate Corp. have supported an optional federal supervision while smaller firms and states oppose it.
"This is the first toe in the water for federal government into insurance," said Robert Litan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former Office of Management and Budget official. "It could prepare the ground for an optional federal charter."
Under the legislation, the Treasury's inspector general, or internal investigator, would lead a council of IGs from government agencies to share information that could improve financial oversight.
"The Treasury Department has been one of the primary battalions in our economic army," Ludwig said. "In times of war the army grows in strength and authority. The question is, how will this army change in times of peace, or what it will evolve into."

A contractor with a Navy program that trains dolphins and sea lions for missions drowned during a nighttime exercise in San Diego Bay, the first death for the program that started in 1959, a Navy spokesman said Wednesday.
Navy spokesman Jim Fallin said 29-year-old Coll Perske was part of a team of contractors with Virginia-based Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) on Monday, training Navy dolphins and sea lions to intercept someone in the water. The San Diego County coroner's office says colleagues pulled Perske out of the water and he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The Navy is investigating the incident but initial reports indicate the mammals had no contact with Perske before he failed to resurface, Fallin said.
The Navy's $28 million marine mammal program, headquartered in San Diego, trains 80 bottlenose dolphins and 40 California sea lions to do everything from finding underwater mines to stopping enemy divers. The mammals, with good eyesight, sonar and diving abilities, have also been used to protect ports.
The program's nonessential training is on hold during the investigation, Fallin said.

Solid Walls
"We live in a beautiful house that was built in 1993. The layout is lovely, but it definitely lacks the character and dignity of the circa-1920 house I grew up in. You can hear everything going on here—toilets flushing, conversations in other rooms, and so forth. But the walls in my old house were made of good old-fashioned plaster, which certainly kept secrets a whole lot better than today's new-fangled drywall."

I got some older SCA 80 Pin SCSI hard drives that I would like to format and erase, but I do not have the old server they were once used in. Did any company ever produce a cheap USB to SCA 80 adapter? This is not for production quality or anything of the sorts. I just need it for troubleshooting and simple drive reads/formats.
I do have some older adaptec pci scsi cards with 68 pin options, so I suppose I could use that with one of those 68pin --> 80 pin adapters and accomplish this if no other options present themselves.

In Ten With Elaine Lucia
Instrument(s): Voice, guitar
When were you happiest? Right after my daughter was born. I was raising her alone, and had her all to myself. She taught me what Love is. She inspired me to write a lot of music. While raising her I continued to sing, and write. Now, she is grown, and is a fantastic singer, guitarist, and songwriter.
What is your greatest fear? I don't even want to write it. Why give it any power? As soon as my greatest fear becomes a conscious thought I replace it with something beautiful and positive so that I don't create the very thing I fear most.
What is your earliest memory? Christmas morning, two years old. I was crying at the breakfast table because I wanted cookies but my mother was insisting I eat oatmeal instead. On Christmas!
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I don't "deplore" any of my personal traits. There are traits that I don't like or that I feel need correcting. As I mention above, I don't dwell on them, or I try not to. When they come to mind, I immediately visualize how I want to replace that negative trait with a more positive one. And feel strongly what that positive trait will feel like and how it will impact me in a good way.
What is the trait you most deplore in others? Well, again, "deplore" is a strong word. When I see injustice in our government, corruption, hypocrisy, and especially intolerance, it makes me angry.
What is your most treasured possession? The fact that I am a mother to a wonderful daughter is the "possession," if you could call it that, that I cherish the most. Everything in my life centers around the love I have been given as a result of that relationship, and the Life lessons I have learned.
What would your superpower be? To change people's hearts. The power of music is a super power!
Who would play you in the film of your life? I don't know!
What is your most unappealing habit? Now why would I tell you that??
Which person would you most like to meet, and why? Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Sasha and Malia!! Because they are beautiful, brilliant, and radiate love and true positive, family values. I would also love to meet Mozart. And Gabrielle Faure. Ella Fitzgerald. Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci.
Which living person do you most admire, and why? Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, Al Gore because they are trying to help lead the planet to peace and equality and a better environment for us all. I greatly admire Michelle Obama, too as a shining example of a strong, independent, capable woman and mother.
Which living person do you most despise, and why? I'm sorry to have to use the word "despise," but I can't think of a better word to describe the horror I feel viscerally for Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, Gonzales and the rest of the criminal cabal that held our country, and the rest of the world, hostage with their crimes against humanity, against our Constitution, and against millions of innocent people around the world. And those who supported, allowed, or looked the other way also have earned my utter contempt.
If you could go back in time, where would you go? To the 1920's, so I could be a singer at the dawning of the Jazz Age.
Which words or phrases do you most overuse? "I LOVE that!"
Aside from a property, what is the most expensive thing you have ever bought? I took out a big loan to record, manufacture, and market my last CD project. When I ran out of money, I sold my car. That project was the most expensive "thing" I ever bought and paid for. And I'm still paying for it, so please buy my records!! :)
Where would you like to live? Half of the year in San Francisco, the other half in Italy!
What makes you depressed? The state of the planet...the environment, the wars, the impoverished countries, and peoples terrorized by their 'governments' or dictatorship. Injustice, cruelty and needless suffering really depress me.
What do you most dislike about your appearance? Where do I start?! I'm a woman, and unfortunately, hold myself to an impossible standard. I am aware of this but it is so ingrained, as it is with almost all the women I know, that it's impossible to escape. Let's change this subject!

Small-cap growth funds have posted an average annualized return of 14.9 percent over the past five years, compared with 12.2 percent for large-cap growth funds.
Even though investing in small companies can be risky, investors are still on board. Small-cap growth funds attracted a net investment of almost $2.8 billion in the first eight months of this year while investors withdrew a net $17.7 billion from large-cap growth funds, according to Morningstar.
In an economic recovery, small companies can be attractive.
They can react faster to changes in the business environment and grow faster. But be aware that they thrive when interest rates are low and they're able to access lower-cost loans.
When interest rates rise, investors should reassess the mix of assets in their portfolios.

Assumption's Francis runs roughshod over HLB
Published: Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 2:01 a.m.
NAPOLEONVILLE -- Assumptions offense stole the show in the first half against H.L. Bourgeois, but it was the Mustangs defense that won the game in the second half.
Behind the running of Carl Francis, Assumption (2-2) held a 20-14 lead late in the fourth quarter. Francis paced the Mustangs with 257 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries, but the Braves held him in check in the second half. HLB turned the fourth quarter into a field position battle and started its final two drives at Assumptions 42- and 30-yard lines. Playing in the shadow of its goalpost, Assumption held HLB (0-3) to a total of 8 yards on the final two drives to preserve the win Friday at Mustangs Stadium.
Assumption coach Don Torres said the defense has dealt with injuries and linebacker Kasdan Oliver was ejected in the first quarter for a personal foul, so it was a lot of new face that did the job on defense.
"We had people go down and we had a lot of new people (on defense), and they rose to the occasion on the last two drives," Assumption coach Don Torres said. "We did what we had to do to get the victory. We started off thinking we needed to throw the ball to be successful, but we wanted to go back to what we done in the past and be basic in running. It was the first time we had a good ground game and we sustained drives."
HLB coach Randy Boquet said entering the game he was afraid his team would play flat missing two weeks and his fears came true. The Braves had two touchdowns called back on penalties in the first half and they committed two turnovers that killed two other scoring opportunities.
"We scored twice, but they were called back. We had hurtful penalties and we havent played in two weeks and it showed tonight," Boquet said. "You take away the penalties and I think we beat this team. Taking nothing away from Assumption, I just think without the penalties we beat this team. They took it right to us and attacked us and we made some adjustments and we played better and shut them down the second half."
Francis dominated the first half accounting for 205 rushing yards on 13 carries and three touchdowns.
After HLBs opening drive stalled, Francis carried the ball three straight times covering 83 yards and scoring on a 20-yard run. Damian Jefferson added the extra point for a 7-0 score with 5:45 to play in the first quarter.
Francis second score was set up by Joshua Burdis interception. Burdis picked off a Jake Hebert pass at the 1 and returned it 57 yards to HLBs 42. An unsportsmanlike penalty on HLB gave the Mustangs the ball at the 25. It took Francis two carries to get into the end zone, scoring on a 15-yard run. Jefferson added the extra point for a 14-0 Mustang lead as time expired in the first quarter.
HLB cut Assumptions lead to 14-7 with an eight play 66-yard drive. Hebert scored on a 1-yard dive and Kerry Guidry added the extra point with 8:58 to play before the half.
Francis was not done as he scored on a 30-yard run that ended a five-play, 68-yard drive with 6:15 in the second quarter.
The extra point was no good leaving it a 20-7 Mustang lead.
Francis said the game plan was simple -- just feed him the ball.
"Coach just ran the ball a lot, I was supposed to get 35 (carries) but I dont know how many I got," Francis said. "I loved the play calling and the line was ready to block. I gave them the motivation speech and we were ready to play. We were ready and in the second half and we were sluggish, but we got the win."
HLB got the ball down to the 7 with two minutes remaining before halftime, but Richard Barrow fumbled and Williams Jackson recovered the ball as Assumption protected its 13-point lead.
The Braves cut their halftime deficit to 20-14 with a 13-play 85-yard drive. Willie McKinley scored on a 15-yard run that was the first play of the fourth quarter.
Guidry added the extra point making it a six-point difference. But, that was the final score as Assumptions defense, playing in the shadow of its goal post stopped HLB twice in the final nine minutes to win the game.

Guess what? We blew right past our goal! We heard your response loud and clear, so we're upping our goal to 250,000 calls for Troops and the deadline of July 31 is fast approaching!
When you donate $15 today, you will provide our brave men and women with 45 calls home. That's three calls for every dollar donated! We couldn't do what we do without your support. Know that we'll be there providing free phones calls and all of the other great programs and services you'll find at the USO…Until Every One Comes Home.

'Tis the season of smartphones and networks, as I mentioned in this space last week. Next Thursday in New York, Samsung Electronics (ticker: 005930.Korea) is expected to unveil its Galaxy S IV smartphone, the latest installment in the portfolio of the world's biggest maker of smartphones.
The new Galaxy is just one of a raft of handsets hitting the market in coming weeks and months; there's even a rumor Apple AAPL -0.5650297924799671% Apple Inc.

In any event, the wave of coming gadgets might lend a hand to beleaguered tech stocks, which are up a mere 0.6%, on average, this year, the third worst performer, beating only the 0.4% rise in financials and utilities.
Rather than take on the entire sector, I recommend investors look to small reversals of leadership here or there within industries. In particular, some chip makers within semiconductors may be ready to appreciate after floundering this year, if they can ride the coattails of the smartphone debuts, and the networks that will tether all those phones.

But within chips, there's been a disproportionate climb in some darling stocks, including British wireless vendor CSR (CSRE), having come up 46% this year, and that other U.K. favorite, ARM Holdings (ARMH), which commands a royalty for billions of mobile devices using its chip designs.
Left behind since December are some excellent companies in mobile and networking that could appreciate from here. They include mobile-phone radio-chip vendors Skyworks Solutions SWKS 1.5552817985833076% Skyworks Solutions Inc.

These two gems will find plenty of business in numerous makers' devices, and they trade for just nine and 12 times the next 12 months' expected earnings, not counting cash.
Some chip makers serving the networking infrastructure market are also worth a look. LSI (LSI), long a supplier to the disk-drive industry, has an intriguing new line of work supplying chips for base stations. Its shares are down 2% this year, and it fetches about 11 times projected earnings.
Likewise, Cirrus Logic CRUS 1.3439522150323544% Cirrus Logic Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD40.72 0.54 1.3439522150323544% /Date(1469566328368-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1105112 P/E Ratio 21.759358288770052 Market Cap 2503575562.99103 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 905694 More quote details and news » (CRUS), which sells audio processing chips for Apple's iPhone and iPad, was a darling last year but has cooled considerably, falling 19% this year versus the 7.5% rise in the Nasdaq Composite. It trades at just six times forward estimates.
Cirrus's problem is in part the current uncertainty over the outlook for Apple's sales. But for a top producer of very specialized chips, that very low P/E ratio is just too tough to ignore.
SPEAKING OF APPLE, and what ails it, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett spent three hours on CNBC last Monday morning dispensing his customary wit and wisdom on a variety of topics, including Apple.
Asked about the stock's 41% drop in the last five months, Buffett reminded viewers that Berkshire has tanked by 50% four different times in its history and always came roaring back. Each time, someone advised Buffett to pay a dividend to boost the shares, and each time Buffett demurred.
Asked about hedge-fund activist David Einhorn's call for Apple to issue preferred shares, Buffett's counsel was simple. "I would ignore him," he said. "I would run the business to create the most value over the next five or 10 years. You can't run a business to try to run the stock up everyday."
CNBC's commentators quickly ignored that patient view and resumed their hand-wringing about Apple after the segment.
It was probably of little consequence to them that Apple, like Berkshire, has seen its stock stumble dramatically in the past, such as when it fell as much as 41% between Dec. 28, 2007, and March 3, 2008, just after the iPhone was first introduced.
But if the Oracle's words hold no weight, consider some more specific data.
Last week I met with Mahi de Silva, who is head of the digital advertising efforts of a little company called Opera Software, listed on the Oslo exchange (OPERA.Norway). Opera is best known for a Web browser that can be run on desktops, smartphones, and tablet computers. That in itself might be of little interest to readers.
But because Opera bought de Silva's start-up, AdMarvel, in 2010, the company now also runs the advertising infrastructure for 20 of the top 25 publishers on mobile devices, including The Wall Street Journal and Barron's. The Barron's iPad app was created using Opera's technology, and every time you see an ad amidst our priceless content, that's Opera at work.
To get back to Apple, de Silva says that out of the roughly $1 billion in gross advertising dollars the company facilitated for us and other publishers last year, 40% of the volume of ad impressions came from Apple's devices versus just 30% for devices running Google's (GOOG) Android operating system.
How can it be that Apple's devices generate so much more ad activity, when Apple has just 22% of smartphone sales and the vast majority is controlled by Android?
"Android users are a bit geeky," says de Silva. By which he means the average user of an Android smartphone or tablet is less likely to download and use the apps provided by Dow Jones and other premiere publishers that create the ad inventory that advertisers crave.
When I asked de Silva if that might change if Apple were to drop to, say, 15% of smartphone sales, he was inclined to think not. That audience on Apple's iOS is highly valuable, even if the overall smartphone numbers shift. The cost-per-thousand, or CPM, in fact, for ads on iOS is about 25% higher than on Android, he said.
In other words, Apple's gadgets are a platform on which the high-value consumers gather, and where the high-value publishers and advertisers focus their efforts. All three constituents tend to build the value of Apple's software in the way that they meet up.
And so, the next time someone says that the iPhone doesn't have the largest screen, or that other tablet computers are cheaper, remember that when it comes to making business sense on these devices, Apple still seems to be at the front of the pack.

I'm using GD Star Rating 1.0.8 on WP 2.6.2. Out of the box the plugin works great but I cannot get the rating block to appear in posts when I turn off automatic rendering. The short code does not render the block, the post just shows the plain text.
I've used [ starrater ] [STARRATER] [STARRATINGBLOCK] , all of the short codes you have in the guide. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. All I did was turn off all the 'Auto Insert Rating Code'. I only want rating for certain posts.
Is there some special combination of admin settings to get this working that I'm missing? Does something else need to be enabled to get short code rendering working?

With healthcare for seniors becoming more complicated, it is important for you to have someone on your side.
This may be a good time for you or a family member to start shopping around for Medicare plans. Ming Senior Services of Union can make it easy for you to get high quality, affordable health care. You don't necessarily have to wait until the end of the year to enroll in one of their insurance plans. There are 'Special Enrollment Periods' that many are eligible for.
Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D and Medicare Supplement plans are some of the insurance options that agent Dee Forshee specializes in. She is a partner with Jim Ming and they operate Ming Senior Services. Ming Senior Services is a sister company to Ming Insurance Group. Ming Insurance Group offers individual and group coverage through all major insurance companies. Contact Casey Ming for more information.
When it comes to choosing the right insurance agent for seniors, Forshee recommends you get referrals from doctors, neighbors, friends, and family.
"Pick an agent that is going to be there for you if you have a problem," Forshee said. "Does that agent have a customer service department? Is it a bricks and mortar business? Are they going to be there for you if you have a problem or question? These are things you want to look for."
Ming Senior Services has been ranked the No. 1 Agency during the Annual Enrollment Period in 2011 from Coventry, and in 2012 they were awarded Agency of the Year by Coventry at a recent awards event. They also came home with 10 of the top 20 awards given.
When it comes to the different insurance plans, Ming Senior Services helps you compare the strengths and weaknesses of your options so you can make an informed choice.
They do not go away after enrollment but continue to help you year round. Ming Senior Services encourages you to bring in your family to go over your plan if you have any questions.
Ming Senior Services follows the highest standards in the health insurance field. Forshee says it is prohibited by federal law for any insurance agent to solicit door-to-door, approach you in common areas, and contact you by telephone unless you have given them permission. These forbidden actions are set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
"There is so much regulation for seniors," Forshee said. "And we take that very, very seriously. We follow the rules that Medicare establishes."
With that being noted, Forshee says there are many agents out there that do not follow these rules "to an alarming degree."
Ming Senior Services has agents across the state, and they are ready to serve you.
Quick Tips
1. Get a referral from people you trust
2. Make sure the agent you pick will be there for you and answer all of your questions
3. Choose an agent that honors and upholds the standards set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
4. Choose an agent that offers all types of Medicare products as opposed to only one type
5. A quality agent will help you choose the best plan for your lifestyle
6. Always use an agent that is licensed but also certified

Released: Nov 01st, 2000
Running Time: 128
Director: Jim Holliday
Company: VCA Pictures
Cast: Bobbi Bliss, Tiffany Mynx, Jessica Drake, Lola (I), Olivia (I), Daisy Chain, Evan Stone, Keisha (I), Joel Lawrence, Van Damage, Sydnee Steele, Renee LaRue, Tabitha Stevens, Allysin Chaynes
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Eight scenes, all-star cast. Mark this one "stock" and move on down the page. No worries if you're in a religious area: No particular religion is parodied. Except greed.
Every so often it all falls together. This is one of those times. Holliday's brightly lit style of picture-taking matches perfectly the overly lit video images of the televangelists. And who better to play a fast-talking televangelist than Evan Stone? The sketches here all fall into the various misuse of religion, with names of actual deities left out in favor of lines like "Turn toward the light" and interspersed with foul-mouthed descriptions of exactly what the TV viewers should stop doing. The head preacher, Stone, was an undercover investigative reporter trying to set up an exposé but maybe he's gotten into it too deeply. The rest of the cast of characters are either frauds or dupes, depending on what side of the cameras they're on. Some of the names sound familiar too.
The sex is well shot and enthusiastic, with more than a little foot action and a lot of vosburg plunging. (In fact, it looks like the "Paradise Hole" is the vosburg until near the end, when a line of dialogue changes that.) Eight scenes, two g/g. Good editing by Dino Ninn (pre-nom) and excellent use of two-camera switch-feeding to emulate the look of a real TV show. And watching Stone and co-evangelist Sydnee Steele whip their heads from camera one to camera two to keep up with Holliday's TD is kind of fun too.

I get great use out the videos and PDF tutorials. My latest system of use with the PDF files is to download them to my newly acquired KINDLE, rather than printing them. I expect the savings in ink and paper purchases to pay for the KINDLE.
However, the way the information is jumbled up makes it difficult to read. Perhaps, future PDFs could be written in a straight forward manner.
Elements techniques is extremely handy to have. Great tutorials and great source for ideas when trying to be creative with photography.
I wish you had an index of all your tutorials to make it easier to find what I want.
Mastering even a fraction of the Photoshop Elements program is a challenge. I'm giving it a shot.
I'm still using elements 7, but ready to upgrade. Although since I have been using 7 I have had problems with share. Before 7 I could send pictures with no problem with my Yahoo web mail. Since using 7 all email is sent using Microsoft Outlook. Is there a setting to change this, I have not found one.
Also when entering a new contact it does not remain in the Elements contact list. I have to reenter each time I send a picture. Because of these problems share is of little use to me.
Any suggestions.
I just installed Elements 9 and have it configured to my liking but I'm stymied on how to minimize an open image in the workspace to the project bin.
I have been using Elements 9 since it came out, so mainly the basics. I'm excited to learn as much as I can to improve my photos.
Which video will explain how to use text with the gradient and drop shadows? Thank you.
Just finish the entire book PSE 9 CLASSROOM IN ABOOK. Ejoyed greatly and learned a lot. Had areas of trouble could not get the lesson guided edit OUT OF BOUNDS page 192 to work and the Gradient layer mask never worked as suggested in book. However was able to get out of bound to work following Diana Day procedure. could not get her article on gradient toool to work either.

A missing level 3 predatory sex offender was found and detained July 31 at Fort Ridgely State Park after he was added to the Minnesota Department of Corrections wanted list on July 21.
The warrant for Rommel Heinrich Fritz, 52, was issued after he failed to check in with his supervising agent. He was found in a remote campsite at the Fort Ridgely State Park in Nicollet County at 7:25 July 31 from a tip from the public, according to a press release from Nicollet County. Fritz surrendered without incident.
Fritz is on Intensive Supervised Release for First Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct against an underage female. Fritz was released from the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Rush City on June 11, 2012.
A hearing will be held in the next ten days to determine if Fritz will be allowed to remain in the community under Intensive Supervised Release, or if he will be returned to prison. Fritz has served 12 years and seven months of his 20 year prison sentence. However, his sentence requires him to remain on conditional supervised release for the rest of his life.

A copy of my letter to Mountain Creek ------------------------------------------------ Mr. Ed Youmans Chief Operating Officer Mountain Creek 200 Route 94 Vernon, New Jersey 07462 Cc: Bill Benneyan, VP Marketing & Sales Joe Hession, VP, General Manager Paul Pennings, Facilities Manager Dear Mr. Youmans, Yesterday, we had the distinct displeasure of spending the day at your Facility, Mountain Creek in Vernon, NJ. We are both avid intermediate skiers, and we were keen to visit your resort for the first time after hearing about the upgrades and renovations. While we were expecting crowded conditions, we were most certainly not anticipating the single worst skiing experience in our combined history of ski trips. We write this letter not in complaint, but merely in the spirit of public service, in the slim chance that one of the many areas of your operation needing improvement has somehow, against all indications to the contrary, escaped your notice, and may consequently be addressed and remedied to the benefit of some future patron, who you can rest assured will be neither of us, nor anyone who values our opinion. Without further prelude, allow us to list each of the disparate elements contributing to our overall subpar experience: • We arrived on site shortly after 9AM, to be told by a young gentleman devoid of grace, humor or, indeed, intelligibility, that there is no passenger or equipment dropoff at the base, a first in all of our skiing experience. As instructed, we proceeded to park in the designated lot. • We were both stunned, (although not literally, by sheer good fortune) to discover that your shuttle buses, with narrow aisles presumably designed for growth-stunted leprechauns, were expected to accommodate adults in ski gear, together with their equipment. Alas, as hazardous as this may be, it was not the most perilous experience of our day. • It is difficult to discern exactly what the intention is of the video that we were required to watch prior to renting equipment. It appeared to be primarily a commercial for your facility, of which we did not yet have a negative impression, but the logic of advertising to committed customers fails us. Perhaps it is a crowd control device, but if so, it demonstrably failed to meet its objective. • Upon registering for a rental, we were most surprised and distressed to discover that we were prohibited from using our own boots, as we have done at countless resorts and facilities. We have spent many hours honing and adjusting the fit on our boots, key to a pleasant day on the slopes, and we did not anticipate having to jettison all of that fine-tuning in favor of generic rental boots. Oddly, the "Rental Equipment" section on your website seems to have neglected to mention this altogether. • The scanner employed to scan the pair of rental boots failed multiple times before succeeding, slowing down the line, and probably eliciting silently murmured threats of bodily harm against ourselves from the hapless fellow skiers in line behind us. • The line for the cashier, all 25 minutes of it, warrants an entire chapter all to itself. One wonders whether this is an integral part of "the BYS System", featuring "a new streamlined process that is guaranteed to get you on the hill faster". Your words, not ours, from your very own website. • The locker rental was the smoothest part of the day, but we resented having to shell out $20 for a locker large enough to hold our boots, which we expected to be wearing at this point, the alternative to which would have been an hour-long round-trip odyssey back to our car, parked somewhere just beyond the Outer Hebrides. • The ladies' room, the next episode in our saga, had 4 working stalls out of 5, hardly adequate for a normal day, let alone throngs of people enduring a 2-hour equipment rental ordeal. • To add to our delight thus far, the ski pickup introduced whole new categories of unpleasantness. Did anyone consider the wisdom of an outdoor pickup? It doubtless makes sense when the wait is short, but 25 minutes, barely moving, in close to 20-degree weather, is borderline insanity. • Lo and behold, the front of the ski pickup line, to find a pair of skis, with our name on it, waist-high to a skier considerably shorter than either of us. Come to think of it, at no point during the rental process did anyone enquire as to what size skis we wanted. After an additional 10 minutes of waiting for your crack ski-disbursement team to resolve the problem, a second pair was produced, this one a mere 8-inches too short. Our patience at an end, we took them and headed hopefully for the lift line. • While the lift lines were long and chaotic, this is, in fact, not one of our complaints. We have attempted to whittle the list down to only those factors which we believe to be within your control. We were thrilled to reach the top of Vernon Peak a full 15 minutes ahead of our Noon estimate, 2 hours after beginning to negotiate your "streamlined process" for equipment rental. One shudders at the very thought of how it was before the streamlining was introduced! • Our first run, down Upper Horizon, Fox Tail, Red Rock and Doe Run was so overcrowded as to be farcical. Around every turn, snowboarders blocked much of the trail, and the huge mass of skiers caused us to question the safety of the run. • Our second run, down Southern Sojourn, was pleasant enough, until we reached the crowds on Bakers Field and Cloud 9, where we found ourselves negotiating a demolition-derby race to the lift. • After 15 minutes in line for the South Peak Express, the lift operators suspended service to allow the crowds on the South Peak to abate. At this point, we felt that our best option would be to return to Vernon Peak, a feat accomplished only by waiting for enough shuttle buses to accommodate the throngs of like-minded individuals. • After a 3rd run of the day, down Great Northern, Khyber Pass and Cab Ride, we realized that the overcrowding and the general sense of chaos pervaded the entire resort. Feeling that conditions were not only suboptimal, but potentially dangerous and completely unenjoyable, we called it a day. • The equipment return process was not quite as streamlined as the rental, and although it was quicker (not much isn't!) we felt that the instruction to "just leave it there" gave us little recourse if our equipment return was improperly processed. However, confidence in your "streamlined process" won out, as it was already after 2PM and we were impatient to leave. • The wait for the shuttle back to our car was thankfully uneventful, incredibly with no injuries to report, but it did take 25 minutes, including the wait and the mad rush for the door of the bus when it finally arrived. In almost 4 1/2 hours, we managed 3 runs, all of them sub-par, at a total cost of $190.73 (including 2 lift tickets, one set of rentals and a locker), or $31.79 per run per person. We are not certain whether you feel that this represents a bargain, but from the viewpoint of an erstwhile customer, even before we consider the waste of travel and waiting time, the gas and the wear on the car, and the effort required to purge this entire unseemly episode from our conscious, the value proposition seems wanting. In closing, we hope that some nugget from our modest missive might help to spare some future, bright-eyed skier even some of the letdown that we experienced. If not, perhaps they too might be consoled by the thought that even a day as wretched as yesterday might end on an upbeat note, that of the fading view of your resort in our rear-view mirror. Most Sincerely,

Anyone think this guy is going to keep the starting job when Fleury comes back? Will he split time? Or will he lose his starting job?
Just wondering as someone in my league wants to move him, and he could come cheap.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

conklin isn't really that good...if you have him ride the hot streak....if you don't have him, don't spend too much for him
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
Your right..he isnt the greatest goalie...but his style works well with the penguins D....which is an indication that they will keep him playing even when Fluery comes back.
Everything depends on how well Conklin continues to play. I can tell you this tho, what makes Fluery a bad choice for pitsburgh in net(puck handleing) is what makes Conklin great for pits. His defensman love playing for him..cause he handle the puck so well that they can play the boards and are not forced to cover Fluery's ass knowing he cant get the puck down the boards.
I don't think so, nothing in Conklin's pass gives me any confident.
I really doubt they would make Conklin (or Sabourin) their starter goalie in the playoffs, unless they had no other options. Fleury is their long-term plan, and he needs the playoff experience. I think Conklin will hold the spot until Fleury is fit to play. Once Fleury is ready to return, I imagine they will rotate and slowly lean more on Fleury the closer it gets to the playoffs. If Fleury is solid enough come playoff time, the job will be primarily his. If not, I guess they will rotate goalies, cross their fingers and pray that their strong offense can make up for inadequate goaltending.
Conklin is serving to move them up the standings and get them a playoff spot, and I think they will ride that out as long as they can without risking a "cold" Fleury when playoff time comes around.
He's still available in my league. Anyone think Conklin is worth dropping Ryan Whitney for? My team is stellar except weaker @ G (Giggy, Khabby, and Gerber). Dustin Penner's the only forward I have I'd drop but his status at both wings makes me hesitate. I'm thinking about rolling with just three D while Conk's hot, see how the Gerber/Emery thing plays out and if Chicago turns it around. Thoughts?

Conklin is a much better goalie than Fleurry. Once again you fake bandwagon penguins fans who only started going to the games after we got crosby are commenting out of your.... Fleury flops all over the place and thinks he is Hasek! Hasek doesn't give up arround five goals a game. He chokes in big games just as he did in the championship in the juniors when he gave up six goals for his quebec team. Conklin is a much more reliable goalie... he cut off the shooting angle much better than fleury and is a better puck handler than fluerry. We should have drafted Dion or Stall. Fleurry is a bust. trade him while you can still get some value out of him. When people bring up Conklins past... he was never given more than arround 40 starts. He was backing up biron and miller in his short stint with phili... and garon and roloson in edmonton. He didn't perform badly he played pretty well so to say that his history gives you little faith is absurd! He doesn't have much of a history. Fleury does... he has a history of choking in big games and inconsistency behind the pipes. so to all my fellow pens fans... go buy your new sidney crosby powder blue winter classic jerseys hop on the bandwaggon and pretend your a fan. To all my real pens fans make sure that you tell off all these other fake bandwagon pens 'fans" who are giving us a bad name and keep them from talking or posting so that the hockey world doesn't have to hear the ignorance spewing out of their mouths.
good thought, me and a pal did that in our league and turned out well, except it wasnt for conklin. go for it
Unless you're loaded with d-men who can score and get as much PP time as Whitney? That would be pretty dumb.
Surely you have a weaker link than Ryan SOMEwhere if you're itching to get your hands on Conklin. Know what you're getting when you pick him up. He's a streaky kind of guy. He's riding high now, but when things get bad and the pressure piles on, he folds like a two cent card table.
He'll be the starter if he remains hot. Fleury's coming off an injury, so they have the chance to give him more rest before he starts playing more time. If Conklin still isn't losing by the time Fleury's back, Conklin's still going to start... they'd be crazy not to. However, should Conklin show signs of cooling and Fleury heats up, then Conklin's going to play backup for the rest of the playoffs/season. Keep an eye on his performance, because his past track record has been spotty at best. That said, I hope he keeps up his amazing play... I always wanted him to breakthrough when he was playing here in Edmonton, but if it's with the Pens that it happens with, so be it.
Fleury might not even get the start immediately when he comes back. He wasn't that great before his injury, so I'd think Conklin will hold the position until he starts losing more than once every 10 games...

No one knows! There is little way to know since there are many factors to consider, such as ...will Conklin still play at the level he is now until Fleury is ready to come back and also whether Fleury is ready to come back and how he fares once he does come back. If he comes back and is steady and playing better than or equal to Conklin, than he will likely be playing full-time and they will rely on Conklin for when Fleury is having some poor nights.
Obviously Fleury is the number one guy, but right now Conklin is playing out of his mind and is on fire, so there is little need to hurry Fleury back at the moment, but that could change.
They way he's playing it would be stuptid the take off a hot goalie he will split time at the least but fleury wont be back for at least a couple of weeks anyway

It's Fleury's JOB!!!
Conklin's value will all depend on Fleury's return date. Once People find out Fleury is ready for Start, Conklin's value will decrease from Lehtonin to Ramo..

At first I thought it was just lag. It's a horrible default setting in my opinion, since when I hold alt+tab, I don't expect to have to wait. As default, it seems to make my experience less smooth.
When quickly switching between two applications, you don't necessarily want to see a popup. That is what the 0.2s is for. You can decrease the actual window switch delay by changing the speed from 4 to ~1. This is probably the setting you are looking for - I don't see any reason for delaying the pop-up.

Pulled Hamstring Topic Guide
Pulled Hamstring: A pulled hamstring is a strain of the hamstring muscle. A hamstring pull may be caused by walking, running, or even walking down steps. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and tenderness with possible bleeding and bruising. Treatment involves rest, icing the pull, compression with an Ace wrap, and elevating the injury. It may be necessary to avoid weight-bearing activities with the use of crutches.

Crutches Since antiquity humans have fashioned support devices to hold themselves up when they became sick or injured. Evidence of such devices dates to 2830 B.C. A crutch must do two things: reduce weight load on one of your legs and broaden your support base to improve your balance and stability.
