Weston Lakes is a city in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States. Residents voted to incorporate the community in an election held on May 10, 2008.[1] At the time of incorporation, there were about 2,300 residents living in Weston Lakes.[2] The population was 2,482 as of the 2010 census.
Weston Lakes is located along FM 1093, between the cities of Fulshear and Simonton in northern Fort Bend County. It covers an area of approximately 1,400 acres (570 ha).[3]
Fort Bend County is the second-most populous county in the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area.

|Est. 2015
With the rapid population growth across Fort Bend County, particularly in the nearby city of Fulshear, some Weston Lakes residents felt that incorporation was the only way to prevent the community from eventually being annexed by Fulshear or another municipality.[6]
The incorporation vote took place on May 10, 2008. Of the 977 valid votes cast, 569 (58.24%) were in favor of incorporation and 408 (41.76%) were opposed.[7] Voter participation was high with slightly over 74 percent of those eligible casting ballots. On May 20, 2008, members of the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court voted to record the results of the election, officially incorporating Weston Lakes as a municipality.[8]
Fort Bend County confirmed that a protest of the incorporation of Weston Lakes has been made.[9] The lawsuit charges that the May incorporation vote was flawed due to a combination of alleged deficiencies in Texas law and its policies, as well as alleged violations of law by the Fort Bend County government and the Weston Lakes Property Owners Association.[10]
The first municipal election took place on November 4, 2008. A total of fifteen candidates competed for six Alderman positions.[11] Mary Rose Zdunkewicz, a 21-year Weston Lakes resident who served on the Lamar Consolidated ISD school board for twelve years during the 1970s and 1980s, was designated the city's first mayor because she received the most votes (561) among the candidates.[12] The five candidates immediately trailing Zdunkewicz – Clifton H. Aldrich (504), Gary L. Owens (486), Denis Deluca (472), Trent Thomas (435), and Ted Case II (419) – will each serve on the city council as Aldermen.[13] The position of city marshal was won by Ron Horowitz who ran unopposed.
Weston Lakes is served by the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District. Students attend Huggins Elementary (Grades PK-5), Briscoe Junior High (Grades 6-8), and Foster High School (Grades 9-12).[14]
Simonton Christian Academy is located in nearby Simonton.[14]

Growing or handling hemp will still require an annual state license, record-keeping and random testing for maximum THC levels.
• Another report on Oregon's fast-growing economy has come out of the Oregon Center for Public Policy (OCPP) and the numbers look great, except for the disparity. Sound familiar? Oregon's economy is a reflection of the national economy, and the unequal sharing of prosperity is a hot topic in the presidential primary debates. Oregon's steady economic growth since 1997 has outpaced the national economy significantly. Only North Dakota with its oil boom has exceeded Oregon between 2001 and 2014.
• Last fall's Community Apple Drive has culminated in the first cider exclusively harvested by the community, and the cider will be released on tap and in bottles beginning this week by WildCraft Cider Works.

• What's the buzz with the Oakleigh Meadow Cohousing (OMC) project? "We're still moving forward," says Will Dixon, the local architect for the controversial project off River Road next to the Willamette River bikepath. "We received re-approval of our tentative PUD application back in October," Dixon says. "No surprise, the opposition has appealed this once again to LUBA. On Nov. 12 we re-applied our final PUD application.
We wrote about changes afoot at Wings Seminars in this column Dec. 10 and we've since heard from Wings founder Kris King that the company is for sale following a personal tragedy. "My son died a year ago and I realized I work too much. Working 28 days a month is not the smartest thing," she says. "I have two offers and three more are coming in." Finding the right new owner may be a challenge, she says. The new owner "needs to be ethically aligned … I'm not just selling a business.
Cowbucker is a new hat business celebrating its grand opening from noon to 6 pm Thursday, Dec. 17, at 222 E. 11th Ave., the former site of Creative Minds Alternative School. This will be the first permanent retail outlet for the business that started with an office in March, followed by a warehouse. Cowbucker offers two styles of hats at this time, including a cowboy/trucker hat, and hats for schools, breweries and states. Three UO MBA students started the business.
It appears WINGS Seminars, based in Eugene and facilitating personal development seminars and related training for more than 25 years, will be shutting down soon, or evolving. Founder and President Kris King has not made a formal statement, but she has used social media to tell her community that she conducted her last Personal Effectiveness Seminar (PES) in Sacramento in late November. King and her office manager did not respond to an EW request for comment by press time.
• One of the pleasures of the holidays in Eugene is our chance to visit the studios and homes of talented artists. That includes potter Faith Rahill whose holiday studio sale runs from 5 to 8 pm Friday, Dec. 4, at 2581 Monroe Street; potter Ken Stanhardt whose home studio sale is from 5 to 8 pm Friday, Dec. 4, at 55 W. 27th Ave.; jeweler Hannah Goldrich and painter Mike Pease who open the Pease home for their annual show and sale from 11 am to 4 pm Saturday, Dec. 5, at 768 W. 10th Ave.; plus so many others listed in our Calendar. Enjoy.
The scams are back. Local businesses are once again getting calls about Best of Eugene awards and offers to ship the awards, for a price. These offers from out of state are copyright violations at best and total scams at worst. One fellow who is soliciting fake awards says he works for Eugene Weekly. He's calling the businesses he sees in our Best of Eugene issue and asking for credit card numbers. Of course we have never charged any business for the awards we give out. A variation on this scam involves websites where businesses can see the awards they are buying.
Barbara's Soaps is back at Saturday Market and will have its usual booth space at Holiday Market, according to owner Barbara Hascall and confirmed by Kimberley Cullen, Saturday Market's general manager. Complaints about excessive aromas coming from the booth have apparently been resolved, though details about the mediation have not been disclosed. "To create a safe place that is conducive for effective mediation, it is standard procedure at the Center for Dialogue and Resolution to agree to confidentiality at the start of each session," Cullen says.
Local and regional solar companies will like this. The nonprofit Environment Oregon (EO) is pushing Eugene and other cities to "prioritize solar energy" through a petition that can be found at environmentoregon.org (click on "Go solar, Oregon"). The group says Oregon gets less than 1 percent of its energy from solar, "but local governments can play a big roll in repowering our state with clean, renewable solar energy." How?
More than 400 technology companies are now up and running in the Eugene-Springfield metro area and the Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) now has a director, Matt Sayre, in the southern Willamette Valley. A board meeting and sold-out "Tacos, Tequila and Tech" event was co-hosted by Arcimoto in Eugene Oct. 9, according to a guest column by Skip Newberry, president of TAO, on the Portland Business Journal website.

Smoke from inscents swirl around the nose, travel through the body until it reaches the depths of the heart. The chanting of monks can be heard in the distance. Bells from the monasteries chime in the light wind. Monks in bright orange robes walk the streets in-between the glorious wats, decorated with gold leaf to the precision of a pinpoint. Sparkling green rice patties shine as far as the eye can see. Cows graze as farmers with pointed sun hats (ngop) lay seeds so their crops may grow. On rural streets, children ride their bicycles, laughter can be heard for miles. A basket weaver works under the bright sun, as the large rolling mountains control the background. Local villagers play the game of ta khlong, as they spin, flip, and kick a straw ball over a net. A grandmother picks sacred leaves for the Buddha day ceremony. Flying lanterns light up the night sky as children run around under them. Candles burn down as the monks meditate through the long hours of the night. Everyone is awoken with the sound of the gongs and the national anthem.
Welcome to my Chiang Mai!
My current home is right outside Chiang Mai, in an area called Mae On. My village's real and full name is: Banonluaionnuemaeonsankamphaengchangwatchiangmaibprathetthai. I live in a small town amidst the rice patties and mountains of Chiang Mai.

The sex trade workers are endemically infected with HPV and HSV. A condom does not protect you from either. 3 common strains of HPV is the cause of 97% of cervical cancer and an increasing cause of throat cancer. Think about it.
the Thai toilet tip is the best tip I have ever read! loved it, both really humerous and really informative!
Your pages are fantastic - I can't wait for my holiday next year!
My elephant riding experience in Thailand was great. The trainers seemed to treat their elephants well, they did not appear to have been mistreated. I trust that this is a way to save the animals and a way for families to earn a living.
I was wondering how much dammage is done by traffic pollution. Stunted growth, disease and brain dammage. Maybe more than opium?
Hi, your local custom tips are so helpful! now i know what to looks out for when i go there in 2 weeks time! cheers! :D
Hi Mateo, Such fantastic tips, really interesting topics, Thanks! Charlie
I visited Chiang Mai last year and I loved it! Wanted to go again this year but time doesn't permit. I stayed at Tamaring Village and it was fantastic. I just love Thailand =)
Mateo, I've told you this before but you do have a great eye for photographing people, especially children.
Mateo, some great pics, I revisit your pages again and again.

I've got a fresh Dell Inspiron 15R SE with pre-installed Windows 8, 1Tb HDD and 32Gb SSD on mSATA included by manufacturer specifically for caching purposes and advertised as such. The problem is that as far as I can see, no acceleration/caching is actually happening with my SSD acting as just another drive.
In BIOS my mSATA operation mode is set to "Intel Smart Response Technology" which seems to be the correct option for caching. It looks like on this screenshot I took from another thread, in my system the option highlighted with yellow is selected:
But when I boot in Windows 8 and run Intel Rapid Storage Technology application, I see no "Acceleration" button / tab in it - as if my drive is not eligible or is in an incorrect mode. This is the screenshot of my Intel utility for you to see there is no option to enable caching:
If that is relevant, my SSD drive appears in my Disk Management console and is also accessible as a usual drive in Explorer and other file managers with a drive letter assigned (guess that indicates the acceleration is not in use).
There is also a hibernation partition (8Gb) on that drive, but the free space is still enough for caching (min 16Gb required, 20Gb left). That partition is as I reckon utilised by another Intel technology, Rapid Start. Here is a screenshot of another pre-installed Intel utility, Intel Rapid Start Technology Manager, if that could be relevant:
Any ideas are much appreciated, I was very keen on trying that additional drive and that was actually the main reason for me to choose that particular laptop model. It's a shame I can't use it for some reason.

Viewer Comments: Breast Lumps In Women - Diagnosis
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Breast Lumps and Pain:
Breast Lumps In Women - Diagnosis
Please describe the diagnosis of the breast lumps in your breast(s).
Comment from: Female (Patient) Published: May 19
Hi, I am 35 years old and I have a lump in my right breast very close to my nipple. Just months ago, I had this very same lump and it was removed, but they said it was not cancer. The doctor told me after the surgery that he didn't know what the lump was, but that he had gotten it all. He used something like a blow torch and in two months time, the lump is back. I have a scheduled mammogram and ultrasound tomorrow and I am very scared now.
Comment from: achesney, Female (Patient) Published: April 27
I just found a lump last week in my left breast. I had a follow up with my primary care doctor today. She is sending me for an Ultra Sound and diagnostic test tomorrow. I am 47 and my mother was diagnosed in 2009 with breast cancer that has now spread to her brain. She is 74 years old and is now living with me. I am under a lot of stress and very nervous/scared to what they might find tomorrow. I have been having early signs of menopause and have been reading this can occur during this time. I will hope for good news tomorrow. I never thought it could happen to me. Thanks for letting me share.
Comment from: em, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: January 05
I am 30 years old and had a partial hysterectomy three years ago. I was put on hormone replacement therapy a year ago. A few weeks into the therapy, I noticed that I have a painful lump in my breast.
Comment from: Cherokee, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: December 29
I was diagnosed with a breast disease age 20. Since then, every year I have had lumps and mass removed from my breast for testing. My right breast is so tiny now from all the surgeries and my left breast had greenish discharge. Dark green discharge from nipple can be blood as in my case. Now I am 50 and new lumps have appeared in both breasts again. The left side breast lump is hard and painful it's turning my nipple towards middle of chest. In the right breast my doctor found another lump. A digital mammogram has been ordered for me next week. I hate mammograms of any kind. I would rather have an ultrasound because they are far less painful.
Comment from: Concerned, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 08
Had Hysterectomy few months ago due to large cyst and major menstrual problems, had mammogram prior to surgery which came back "normal." About 2 weeks ago I discovered lump in breast which grew in size over weekend, then reduced again in size by the time I went in to see my doctor a few days later. Was referred by PA for ultrasound which found many "lesions" some partially collapsed and some about 3 cm in diameter. After my Doctor reviewed ultrasound she referred me to Surgeon or further consults. Possible biopsy, possible to wait and see routine, who knows! Prayers for me and every woman out there dealing with these concerns.
Comment from: mistaryus, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: August 10
I am 14 years old, (Wow I know) so I've had lumps in my breasts too. I've had one on the left and one on the right which were removed. Both times were pronounced benign so I'm happy for that. I've always had some sort of health problem so this wasn't a huge shock but when I discovered the first lump I cried so much because I was so scared. Now after going through those experiences I'm more conscious about my health. Right now I'm more worried about these constant strange headaches. But that's another story. Wish me luck!
Comment from: rena, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 19
I am a 54 year old woman , who had a hysterectomy in 2006 from oversized fibroids. In the meantime I have had a lump in my left breast, which I found in 2007. I have had mammograms and ultra sounds. The doctors say it is nothing. This year I found a new doctor. After a mammogram was done she asked for an ultra sound and a digital. In the end I had to have an MRI. After much discussion, we decided to have the lump removed. It is too far back to just have it drained by needle, and it is solid and in a very suspicious area in the back of the breast. I have decided to go ahead and have the surgery this coming Tuesday. My doctor suggests, it may not be cancer. They will be able to do a quick biopsy before sewing me up, but if it is, it will be caught at in early enough stage, where I will hopefully see my great grandchildren grow. I will keep all updated on what has been found.

|Shawn Thornton on D&C: 'We like the group we have'
|03.05.14 at 11:01 am ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton talked with Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday about the NHL trade deadline, his 100th fight and more. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
With the NHL trade deadline looming, Thornton said that there hasn't been as much discussion in the locker room because of the Olympic break.
"We haven't really talked about it much this year," Thornton said. "I think because there hasn't been a lot of chatter with the Olympics, it took a lot of focus away from the deadline. Usually there's a two-week buildup to it, to be completely honest. This year you came out of the Olympics six days later. So there hasn't been a lot of talk."
Thornton likes the team and is fine with the way it is, but he knows there could be players traded by Wednesday's 3 p.m. deadline.
"We're a pretty good team, but I know that Peter [Chiarelli] is always looking to improve," Thornton said. "And you can always get better, so we'll see what happens by 3 today."
Added Thornton: "We all really like each other, we like the group we have. We're a pretty tight-knit group. We're still winning some hockey games this year, so I'm OK with it."
During Tuesday night's 4-1 victory over the Panthers, Thornton got into his 100th career fight. The fight with Krys Barch was initiated to spark the team and stick up for Milan Lucic, who fought Barch in the first period.
"We were kind of flat in the second period," Thornton said. "Looch can handle himself, obviously, but I didn't like that he went after Looch in the first shift. Krys Barch is a, he's a really good guy. I played with him. … I actually kind of taught him how to fight 11 years ago in the minors."
The Bruins' top line of David Krejci, Jarome Iginla and Lucic performed very well on Tuesday with Krejci recording a hat trick and Iginla scoring the fourth goal. Thornton noted that the trio is unlike any other in the NHL.
"We rely heavily on those guys and they consistently perform," Thornton said. "And it's funny because if there's one game where they don't get a point it's like the sky's falling. Everyone's chirping. They've been unbelievable for us all year. … They bring things to the table that other teams don't have. You don't have two power forwards that are that tough and score."
|Pierre McGuire on M&M: Peter Chiarelli won't 'throw a player overboard' to make move before trade deadline
|02.28.14 at 1:16 pm ET
NBC Sports hockey analyst Pierre McGuire joined Mut & Merloni on Friday to discuss the change in play since the Olympic break as well as the trade market. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
In the week following the break, the Bruins, as well as other teams that had multiple players participate in the Olympics, have appeared tired.
"The Bruins aren't the only team that are experiencing this after the Olympics," McGuire said. "If you watched Chicago play last night, the first 40 minutes they looked very un-Chicago. If you watched Montreal play against Detroit two nights ago they looked very unlike the Montreal Canadiens. … A lot of teams that had a lot of players that were at the Olympics had a little bit of a hangover, but I think that will all be gone by tonight or tomorrow."
"I was over there for three weeks, over in Russia for three weeks, and it takes two to three days to be acclimated to the time zones when you're back here in North America."
Earlier this month, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said he wanted to add a defenseman to the team's lineup. Chiarelli admitted, though, that it was a tough market.
"I don't think he's going to throw a player overboard to say he did something," McGuire said of Chiarelli's plan as the trade deadline approaches. "I can't see Peter doing that — the Bruins haven't acted that way since he and Cam Neely took over.
"One of the things that helps make the Bruins a better team is the play of Reilly Smith, and I think what you'll see is Loui Eriksson really step it up here. They've become a much more deep team at the forward position, and [Patrice Bergeron] had a phenomenal Olympics so you've to got to be excited about where your team is at the forward position.
"That's one of the things that I think allows Peter to have a little leeway when it comes to making a deal to get a defenseman — their strength at the forward position."
|Andy Brickley on M&M: Bruins should 'add something significant along the blue line'
|02.26.14 at 1:29 pm ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about the possibility of the Bruins adding a defenseman prior to the deadline, Peter Chiarelli's scouting and Loui Eriksson. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
With the NHL trade deadline next Wednesday at 3 p.m., Brickley said how the Bruins view the blue line will determine whether they add a defenseman.
"I think it all starts with how you evaluate what's going on along the blue line," Brickley said. "This is a team that prides itself on goaltending, team defense, some strong penalty-killing, and then that balanced offense is somewhere further down in terms of priority. And if you have that type of analysis, then I think you have to look real closely at the group of six or seven that they have on the blue line right now and say, 'Is this group good enough, deep enough to carry us to an Eastern Conference final and get us to a Stanley Cup final and an opportunity to win this thing.' And I think that's what has to be addressed, because in my evaluation I would like to see them add something significant along the blue line."
Brickley was complimentary of Chiarelli's ability to identify defensemen who work well with the team.
"The thing about what Peter is able to do along with his management team and the scouting crew, identify a guy like Torey Krug and go out and pay maybe a couple extra dollars to make sure he comes to Boston," Brickley said. "You make a deal for [Matt] Bartkowski, when nobody really makes notice of it or takes notice of it. You draft a kid like Dougie Hamilton in the first round. You identify a player like Kevan Miller and allow him to play in the American Hockey League and learn how to be a good depth defenseman. And those guys are all significant pieces to what the Bruins have been able to put together and accomplish and pile up points to this point in the regular season."
Brickley is concerned with the lack of experience the young defensemen have, however, and would rather move Johnny Boychuk out of the top two.
"But as we know the playoffs are a different animal and you're talking about very little experience there in that foursome," Brickley said. "Now you have Johnny Boychuk, because of the added absence of Adam McQuaid as well due to a lot of injuries over the last year plus, almost two years. And of course Dennis Seidenberg being out of the lineup. Now you have [Zdeno] Chara, Boychuk, that's your one-two combination. And I think you're a really strong defense if Boychuk is somewhere in your top four, but maybe not your top two. And that's certainly not an indictment on his play, because I love his game and I love how, how game he is, as a matter of fact, to speak to his character."
Added Brickley: "But if you can go out and acquire, or certainly add to the players that you have on the blue line, as well as they've played, now I think you have a much better chance when you get in the postseason. You know there's going to be injuries, you know there are certain matchups that you're looking for, based on the opponents that you're going to draw, and if you can have seven, eight NHL caliber, and maybe even a top two, three that might not be there right now, I think your chances certainly improve as far as going where you want to go and reaching the goals that you set."
Eriksson, who has not produced big numbers in Boston, played well for Sweden in the just-completed Olympics. Brickley said that the extra playing time, along with playing on the third line, could help the 28-year-old.
"Eriksson needed to play hockey, he needed to play hockey over in Sochi, and he seemed to be — he seemed to be finding his game more and more a little bit before the break," Brickley said. "He seemed to have some chemistry with [Carl] Soderberg in particular, the two Swedes. Seemed to slide into that third line, instead of the pressure of being in that top six, that seems to be paying dividends. And his awareness, when you watched him play, although it was the bigger ice surface, his awareness of all the moving parts going on around him seemed a lot cleaner, a lot sharper. When you come back from injuries, that's the one thing you have to be concerned about when you're coming back from a concussion, is that awareness. Seemed a lot better in the Olympics, so that's what I'm looking for. And he needs to continue to play. So maybe the break was good for him in terms of playing hockey."
|Peter Chiarelli happy with how his summer moves have worked so far: 'That's what is expected of me'
|02.08.14 at 5:35 pm ET
Eyebrows were a bit more than raised when Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli traded away young gun Tyler Seguin and reliable forward Rich Peverley to the Dallas Stars last summer in return for Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Joe Morrow and Matt Fraser.
That was a Fourth of July calculated gamble that Chiarelli was willing to take just a week after his team lost in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup finals. Smith has 18 goals this season on the Marchand-Bergeron line, second only to Marchand's 19 goals this year. Add to that the addition of veteran forward Jarome Iginla to replace Nathan Horton on the top line, and the moves have worked out quite nicely for the Bruins.
Iginla scored again Saturday and all of a sudden has 17 goals with 25 assists. Eriksson assisted on the first two goals Saturday and has 14 helpers on the season, not bad considering he's missed 21 games with a pair of concussions.
Before he joins one of seven Bruins off to the Sochi Winter Games, Chiarelli was asked before Saturday's 7-2 demolition of the Senators at TD Garden just how satisfying it is knowing the deals he made in the summer have paid off.
"It's good, I mean that's what is expected of me," Chiarelli said. "Certainly I'll hear it from you guys if they don't. You, know Iggy ' high character. So you know you're going to get a good effort. What were my other deals? Loui [Eriksson], yeah Loui is still a work in progress but I've seen parts of his game that I'm going to expect at some point that I have seen before. He's got to work his way through it but he is a very good two way player and I'm happy with him. Reilly [Smith], of course has been good. So yeah it's good. That's what I'm expected to do and it helps bringing these players into a successful team and structure. It's easier to do that provided they buy in and these guys have bought in."
Will he look at bringing in veteran leaders at the March 5 trade deadline?
"Usually when I'm trying to add something on a temporary basis, on a rental basis, I'd like that player to have some experience," Chiarelli said. "So, that usually translates into being a veteran. Playoff experience would be good too so that's something I look for, I don't know if I'm going to get it if we add somebody but that's what I look for, I think it's important. I t's not so much for leadership; I feel our group has strong leadership. It's more for having been in the battles and having that composure because that is what you need to win, is composure and compete by the composure also."
|Peter Chiarelli wants a defenseman, but doesn't think there is a Dennis Seidenberg on the trade market
|at 4:57 pm ET
Meeting with the media prior to the Olympic break, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said he would like to add defensive depth before the March 5 deadline.
The perceived need for the Bruins would be a top-4 defenseman, as the team will be without Dennis Seidenberg for the rest of the season. Chiarelli didn't say whether he would want a lefty for the second pair or a righty to play in Seidenberg's usual postseason spot alongside Zdeno Chara.
"I want a little more defending and if a guy can play both sides that would be great," Chiarelli said. "We're not going to replace Seids. I want the ability to defend; I want a little bit of heaviness."
If the Bruins are unable to find somebody, Chiarelli said he would be comfortable with Matt Bartkowski remaining as his second left-side blueliner.
"Yeah, I would be," Chiarelli said. "He's learning, he's learning better how to defend, he's getting a little more minutes. He's still making mistakes but the rest of them are too. I've been looking closely at his defending, he certainly can wheel the puck out well and turn the net well but he's maturing as a defender. That's what we're looking for, better defenders."
No NHL business can be conducted over the Olympic break, which means general managers will have a short window to get deals done upon returning to work later this month. Chiarelli said there isn't much of a market right now for top-4 defensemen.
"I think it's going to be a tough market," Chiarelli said. "It is going to be tough to get players."

|Peter Chiarelli says he isn't trading Brad Marchand
|12.19.13 at 3:31 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said Thursday that he doesn't want anyone to interpret the team's unhappiness with Brad Marchand's recent behavior as a sign that they want to get rid of him.
Chiarelli revealed Wednesday that he wasn't happy with Marchand taunting the Canucks during Saturday's loss, saying that he spoke to Marchand about it. That was hardly a suggestion that the team was going to trade him, but Chiarelli clarified anyway to reporters Thursday in Buffalo.
"I'm not trading Marchy. He's a good player," Chiarelli said. "I like the way he plays. He'll figure it out."
For a number of reasons, trading Marchand wouldn't be too logical for the Bruins right now. Given that he has just five goals this season, the team likely would not get proper return on a player who scored 28 goals two seasons ago.
This isn't the first time "Marchand" and "trade" could be used in the same sentence, as Marchand said in training camp that he wondered if he would be next when the team moved on from Tyler Seguin.
'A little bit, yeah. Definitely,' he said when asked if he thought the team might also trade him. 'Anything can happen at any time. If you have half a bad year or you're not playing up to par, with the cap system nowadays, they're going to want to improve the team. You don't want to be that guy to get shipped out. The easiest thing to do is play your best and hopefully you can save yourself.'

Re: After 1.4.3 update, sound no longer works. Tried factory reset, no dice.ChopperCharles Mar 1, 2013 11:08 AM (in response to ChopperCharles)
Restored to 1.2.0 using the boot interrupt method.... no dice. It still doesn't play any sound, and video is extremely choppy. I think the nook is hosed.
If B&N will give me a deal upgrading to the HD, I'll stay with B&N. If not, I'm moving to iPad most likely.
Re: After 1.4.3 update, sound no longer works. Tried factory reset, no dice.5ivedom Mar 1, 2013 1:28 PM (in response to ChopperCharles)
Chopper Charles,
Unsolicited spam is probably just some app company doing spam.
There are a few that have started doing it. Just search for 'malware' to see some threads. Thought it's not malware, just spam.
I can't think of any reason the sound would be hosed. An update should not blow up the sound card or sound processor or whatever it is that handles sound for Nook.
Speakers failing right around time of update? Seems rather unlikely.
I think B&N will offer you an update deal for HD.
HD+ had a $50 off sale this last weekend I think.
I think HD also has $30 off sales regularly. SO if you just wait for a weekend like that they you're likely to get even more of a discount.
For games losing data on reset.
Though CS recommends reset for lots of issues, some of the time they aren't needed.
What issues did you have earlier that required resets.
For reference, I have Color and Tablet since launch and have never reset either. Just tried other things and gotten them working the few times there were problems.

Department of Veterans Affairs' Implementation of Information Security Education Assistance Program
GAO-10-170R: Published: Dec 18, 2009. Publicly Released: Dec 18, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6244
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish an educational assistance program for information security. The Information Security Education Assistance Program is envisioned as a means for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to attract and retain individuals with advanced skills in information security. The legislation authorizes the agency to establish scholarships for qualified students who pursue doctoral degrees in computer science and electrical and computer engineering at accredited institutions and to offer educational debt reduction for VA employees who hold doctoral degrees in these fields. This letter responds to the act's requirement that we report on the scholarship and education debt reduction programs within 3 years of the act's December 22, 2006, enactment.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has not begun to award scholarships or offer and disburse loan repayments under the Information Security Education Assistance Program, although it has taken some steps to implement the program. Since 2006, VA has drafted governing regulations, which are now undergoing internal review, and has developed a budget impact analysis. After the department's internal review is completed, several additional steps are planned before the regulations are issued, including review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and a public comment period. Department officials anticipate that the debt-reduction portion of the program will begin, and the first scholarship candidates will be selected, during 2011.

Please read down to the bottom of the page… also please note that the photos I have been able to find to TRY to illustrate to you what I saw by NO MEANS do the vision justice, they are but a very poor representation of what I was shown, to try to get the urgency of it all into your mind and, more importantly, into your heart…
In the year 2000 up in Zimbabwe the LORD gave Graham Ries a vision of huge manmade edifice with a very, very large gate in it. Inside that gate was a portcullis - the big black gates that one sees in medieval castles all over Europe - and that portcullis was slowly lowering towards the ground.
Reaching across from where Graham stood to this gate
On this walkway were thousands and thousands of people rushing to get into whatever lay behind that gate. There was a sense of urgency as these people crossed over this walkway but what caught Graham's attention was the fact that none of the people crossing over had any colour - and yet he could see them. Where the colour came from was the garments they were wearing - oh the colours! The colours were absolutely STUNNING, and there were colours that he'd never seen before, but SOMEHOW recognised as colours. He later learned that these were the Garments of Praise spoken of in Isaiah 52:1-15 & 61:3.
Something that Graham thought was odd was the fact that each persons head appeared to be shining, like golden balls or something were on their heads. Being relatively new to the Christian faith at the time he didn't know what these were, so he asked the pastor in whose presence he had the vision, what it meant. He was told that these are the Crowns of Glory that each of us will receive, as recorded in scripture in Corinthians 9:24-25 and 1 Peter 5:4, as well as other scriptures.
As Graham watched from his vantage point some distance away, he suddenly became aware of the fact that the portcullis that was dropping so fast represented TIME. And TIME was running out fast. But there were still a great many things that he did not understand about the vision…
As time went by, he spoke to lots of different people about this vision, pastors, teachers,and no one appeared to be able to explain it to him or to tell him what it meant - but the sense of urgency prevailed, and remained with him for years, as it does still to this very day…
Then one day he was looking at a poster that his ex-wife had brought him from Jerusalem and he recognised the gate… it was the Damascus Gate leading into the Old City of Jerusalem! Graham nearly fell off his chair!
The vision was very CLEARLY about getting people - all people - all races - all faiths
(converted to Christianity) - into the SAFETY and SECURITY SUCH AS MANY HAVE NEVER
KNOWN of the walls of the NEW JERUSALEM as soon as possible because TIME is RUNNING
OUT for the LORD's return! And how does one do that? By creating a unity between
people that spreads across the City and encompasses EVERY MAN, WOMAN and CHILD in
Port Elizabeth and every other location planet-wide!
There have since been SEVERAL stunning confirmations of this vision from Precious Father God…

Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer is reportedly planning to reorganize the company as he looks to foster better co-operation between product teams. Under one possible plan, Microsoft would put more focus on devices and services, and cut the number of divisions from eight to four. The groupings would be enterprise business, hardware, applications and services, and operating-systems. The speculation follows news that CIO Tony Scott has left the company.

It's about time for various Microsoft teams work towards better co-operation and not try to reinvent the wheel with every new product version. Focus on hardware is an interesting one - it usually stems from distrust towards the hardware vendors or attempt to gain market dominance. Is @MSFT big enough to fight on both hardware and software fronts? It probably is if it decides to stick to only a handful of products and not cater for all market segments.
investingInvestor, contributorComments (2464) | + Follow Following - UnfollowThe real news is that two senior Microsoft managers have recently bailed. Ballmer's management style is chairs, bats, and running in circles. The minions had expressed their opinions and reorg is Ballmer's response: "insane devices running on the cloud" and "everything is a PC". Dogbert marketing.
If Microsoft really wants to improve, then they need to establish strict development standards.

Babe Ruth Hits His 700th and Pedro Dominates the All-Star game on This Day in Baseball
Babe Ruth Hits His 700th and Pedro Dominates the All-Star game on This Day in Baseball
July 13, 1934 - Babe Ruth hit his 700th home run in a 4-2 victory over Tommy Bridges and the Detroit Tigers. Lou Gehrig left the game in the first with a severe case of lumbago, the most serious threat to his streak. He returned for one at-bat the next day and went on to win the triple crown that season.
1943 - The first night game in All-Star history, at Philadelphia's Shibe Park, went to the American League, 5-3, despite a single, triple and home run by National League center fielder Vince DiMaggio of the Pirates. The big blow was a three-run homer by Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox, which gave the AL the lead for good.
1963 - Early Wynn registered his 300th and final victory, at age 43, pitching the first five innings of Cleveland's 7-4 win over the Kansas City A's. Wynn was a hard throwing, hard nosed pitcher. Vida Blue once said of him as a coach "If you hit a ball good off of him, he'd knock you down".
1971 - The American League defeated the National League 6-4 in the All-Star Game played at Tigers stadium which saw three home runs hit by each team. The most notable was Reggie Jackson's mammoth shot off the power generator on the right-field roof. It has been estimated that Jackson's bomb would have traveled 532 feet if not for striking the generator…surely one of the greatest displays of power in the history of the game.
1982 - The National League registered its eleventh consecutive All-Star victory over the American League with a 4-1 victory at Montreal's Olympic Stadium in the first game played outside the United States.
Dave Concepcion's two-run homer off Dennis Eckersley in the second inning was the deciding hit.
Ted Williams would return to the All Star game in Fenway Park in on July 13, 1999, to throw out the first pitch. The best players of the day flocked to the mound to talk hitting with Willliams as fans roared and Williams waved his cap to them…a gesture he never made as a player.
Another type of greatness would be on display that night, as the Red Sox own, Pedro Martinez becomes the first pitcher to strike out the first 4 batters of All Star game and win as the starting pitcher on his own homefield. Barry Larkin, Larry Walker and Sammy Sosa in the first inning, and Mark McGwire in the second would all fall to Martinez as he got the W in the American League 4-1 victory over the National League.

Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt (Paperback)
The National Book Award-winning biography that tells the story of how young Teddy Roosevelt transformed himself from a sickly boy into the vigorous man who would become a war hero and ultimately president of the United States, told by master historian David McCullough.
"Mornings on Horseback" is the brilliant biography of the young Theodore Roosevelt. Hailed as "a masterpiece" (John A. Gable, "Newsday), " it is the winner of the "Los Angeles Times" 1981 Book Prize for Biography and the National Book Award for Biography. Written by David McCullough, the author of "Truman, " this is the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood: an amazing metamorphosis seen in the context of the very uncommon household in which he was raised.
The father is the first Theodore Roosevelt, a figure of unbounded energy, enormously attractive and selfless, a god in the eyes of his small, frail namesake. The mother, Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt, is a Southerner and a celebrated beauty, but also considerably more, which the book makes clear as never before. There are sisters Anna and Corinne, brother Elliott (who becomes the father of Eleanor Roosevelt), and the lovely, tragic Alice Lee, TR's first love. All are brought to life to make "a beautifully told story, filled with fresh detail" ("The New York Times Book Review").
A book to be read on many levels, it is at once an enthralling story, a brilliant social history and a work of important scholarship which does away with several old myths and breaks entirely new ground. It is a book about life intensely lived, about family love and loyalty, about grief and courage, about "blessed" mornings on horseback beneath the wide blue skies of the Badlands.
About the Author
David McCullough has been widely acclaimed as a "master of the art of narrative history," "a matchless writer." He is twice winner of the National Book Award, twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize. In December 2006 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.
His books have been praised for their scholarship, their understanding of American life, their "vibrant prose," and insight into individual character. Mr. McCullough's most recent book, "1776", the number one "New York Times" national bestseller in both hardcover and paperback, has been called, "brilliant...powerful," "a classic." There are three million copies in print, while Mr. McCullough's previous work, "John Adams", remains one of the most critically acclaimed and widely read American biographies of all time. It is presently in its sixty-third printing.
"John Adams", a seven-part mini-series on HBO begins March 16. Produced by Tom Hanks, it stars Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney.
In the words of the citation accompanying his honorary degree from Yale, "As an historian, he paints with words, giving us pictures of the American people that live, breathe, and above all, confront the fundamental issues of courage, achievement, and moral character."
Mr. McCullough's other books include "The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, The Path between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, Brave Companions, " and "Truman". His work has been published in ten languages and, in all, nearly 9,000,000 copies are in print. As may be said of few writers, none of his books has ever been out of print.
David McCullough is as well twice winner of the prestigious Francis Parkman Prize, and for his work overall he has been honored by the National Book Foundation Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award and the National Humanities Medal. He has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as the American Academy of Arts and Letters and has received more than forty honorary degrees.
In a crowded, productive career, he has been an editor, essayist, teacher, lecturer, and familiar presence on public television -- as host of "Smithsonian World, The American Experience", and narrator of numerous documentaries including "The Civil War". His is also the narrator's voice in the movie "Seabiscuit".
A gifted speaker, Mr. McCullough has lectured in all parts of the country and abroad, as well as at the White House. He is also one of the few private citizens to speak before a joint session of Congress.
Born in Pittsburgh, Mr. McCullough was educated there and at Yale, where he was graduated with honors in English literature. He is an avid reader, traveler, and has enjoyed a lifelong interest in art and architecture. He is as well a devoted painter. Mr. McCullough and his wife Rosalee Barnes McCullough have five children and eighteen grandchildren.
His current project is a book about Americans in Paris, from the 1830's to 1930's.
Praise For…
Denver Post
A fine account of Roosevelt's rise to manhood, well written and, like its subject, full of irrepressible vitality.
Detroit News
This is a marvelous chronicle of manners and morals, love and duty, and as captivating as anything you will find between book covers in a long while.

Rusty gave up t...See Full Bio
"Most of the time, my music picks are of my own accord, bands I've loved for years, or maybe a hot new number a friend has turned me onto, or I found while bar hopping. This time, my pick comes from the boss, Pappi Swarner, who has a great ear and even better dance moves. (Ask him to show you his pop-in-lock next time you see him.) His recommendation is for Tin Man, a member of Maurice The Fish Record's growing family, and hot to release their sophomore album, Broke Wisdom. I have to agree with the boss, and MTFR, Tin Man has their singing and songwriting down. Initially reminding me of something in the Bonnie Raitt or Leonard Cohen vein, Tin Man has a little more twang, a little more pluck and a lot more Northwest feel. Hear for yourself this Saturday at Louie G's. {NIKKI MCCOY}"

It seemed the perfect day for Agnes Irwin to capture a Pennsylvania Independent Schools softball title in its first year participating in the two-year-old tournament.
The No. 1-seeded Owls were playing at Rosemont College, less than two miles from their campus, a few dozen family members were cheering from the stands, and star sophomore Katie Wenger was in the circle.
Then the top of the fifth happened.
In that inning, visiting Mercersburg plated the only four runs of the game against an uncharacteristically sloppy Owls defense en route to a 4-0 championship victory Saturday.

Immaculate. Has chairs, umbrella, coolers, pack and play, pots, pans, strollers, . It is very CLEAN.
Super clean and spacious town home and a beautiful/safe neighborhood. The owners were super amazing, as this was my first rental on TripAdvisor. Every question I asked, they answered with no hesitations. Everything we needed was fully stocked, towels, linens, and amenities. We cooked out on Sunday, and the neighbors from two other units join me and hubby for cocktails...
The townhouse was incredibly clean and spacious. No matter what you needed it was well stocked to make your stay as "homely" as possible. The location was perfect for those that wanted the beach or boardwalk action. I would stay here again.

A fun way to use business cards!
I was a consultant for an at-home scrapbook supply business so I printed up cards to give away. When the business failed, I was left with a lot of extra, unusable business cards. I discovered how to make treasure out of trash!
The quality of the cardstock made me feel guilty for using them as note paper, so I thought, "why not use them on scrapbook pages?" The backside of every card is a mini canvas ready to be embellished. Collage them with tiny bits of theme paper, put brads on them, alphabet letters (any type), set eyelets on them, or garnish them with string fibers, or ribbon. Hang charms from the eyelets with little jump rings.
Line up your business cards masterpieces along one side of your layout for a fun border. Use them to set up a color blocked area of your layout. Use one per page or cover an entire page with them. Lift them up with pop dots for that extra dimension. Cut a photo to size and mount or mat it with a business card.
This is only just scratching the surface. I'm sure you could think of a million more uses. Hope this gives you a push to try them out!

While teachers in Catholic schools are expected to know the Church, be leaders of the faith, and instruct their students on those principles, most educational institutions that train teachers do not offer religion as part of their curriculum.
Newman Theological College, however, allows teachers to take a program that earns a diploma or a degree in religious education.

Becoming a priest is a lengthy process that requires a sense of a divine call, deep reflection, prayer and rigorous education.
Seminarians at St. Joseph Seminary need about eight years of higher education, including degrees in philosophy and theology, plus a year internship in a parish before they can be ordained.
TORONTO – With the busy schedule of a university student, Vanessa Nicholas-Schmidt was finding it challenging to fit prayer into her regular routine during her school years.
To remedy this, her spiritual director suggested she get creative, recommending a variety of different prayer styles.
MISSION, B.C. – Through the Bible God is trying to reveal only two things: one: "I'm God," and two: "You're not," philosopher Peter Kreeft said here Jan. 28.
The problem, said Kreeft, is that most people, himself included, forget about the second point.
OTTAWA – When the Companions of the Cross met for their general assembly Jan. 30-Feb. 3 in Cornwall, Ont., the priests had their first chance to reflect on the impact of last year's death of their founder, Father Bob Bedard.
"The passing of a founder, of a spiritual father in Christ is a watershed for any community in the history of the Church," said Father Scott McCaig, who was re-elected for a second six-year term as the order's leader.
It is a great misfortune that once was seen as the cornerstone of a liberal education is now widely perceived as the writings of dead, white, European males. The purpose of reading authors from Homer to Heidegger was not to narrow one's perspective to that of an antiquarian patriarchy. Rather it was to enable the people of today to participate in the great 2,500-year conversation of the Western world's greatest minds over central questions such as the meaning of life, morality, God, science, society and many others.
All are welcome to participate in that conversation no matter their race, creed, country or gender. However, to walk in on a conversation that has been going on for centuries and to pretend that one can make an immediate, creative contribution is, at best, impertinent.
As a columnist, I've always harboured a certain paranoia about being overly personal or exhibitionistic in my writing or in thinking that my own emotional ups and downs are of interest to others. I've tried to respect that fear. Occasionally, however, circumstance dictates that I do write something more personal. This is such an occasion.
I want to express my gratitude for all the prayers and support I have received during these past seven months while undergoing treatments for cancer. That desert journey has finally ended and with a good result. A month ago, I finished my last chemotherapy treatment and, two weeks ago, after a battery of medical tests, was pronounced "cancer-free."
As we approach the season of Lent, I am reminded of my childhood Lenten experiences. I remember the family discussions that resulted in us either deciding or being told what we were going to give up for Lent.
Every once in a while, a video unexpectedly becomes an Internet sensation, garnering attention all over the place and spreading like wildfire through the virtual world.
Recently, a phenomenon of this type has emerged in the form of a slickly produced video of a 20-something-year-old man in a leather jacket half rapping, half speaking a poem about Jesus and religion – more specifically how the former came to abolish the latter (Jesus vs religion at www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY).
Last March, I spent a week at a retreat centre in Prince George B.C. taking in the second week of Returning to Spirit, a program of face-to-face reconciliation between aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples.
This program was created in the Northwest Territories by Marc Pizandawatc, an Algonquin from Kitiganzibi First Nation, and Ann Thompson, a Sister of St. Anne from B.C., to assist those living in the legacy of the residential school experience to move towards a personal experience of reconciliation and healing.

Milton: MORONIC LIBERALS. If voter ID's are "racist", then that means requiring an ID to buy a firearm would also be "racist" (since you need one to exercise a constitutional right). The same thing would be racist for a million other things that REQUIRE ID's, like picking up a welfare check. It is simple. There is not a single thing stopping ANYONE from obtaining an ID. ID's are required for virtually EVERYTHING in the entire country. If someone is too lazy to go to the DMV and pick up an ID, they shouldn't be able to vote in the first place.

I have recently written a blog post in the Rational Community Blog[1] about how to use Swift commands within RAD's context. This just for the sake of using the rich web tools in RAD with other runtimes. In this same sense, you can use any CLI command in RAD to enrich your IDE experience by bringing them into the RAD workbench.

text: Monitoring aggregate queries in real-time over distributed streaming environments appears to be a great challenge not only because of the huge data volume and high rate, but also because of the limitation of the network transmission bandwidth. Consequently, ensuring qualified approximate results with economical network consumption becomes one of the most important goals in such scenarios. In this paper, we study how to monitor aggregate queries continuously over distributed environments efficiently by disposing numerous filters at remote sites, in order to transmit only a small part of incoming data to the query site and therefore save the network resource significantly. We also show how to adjust the parameters of a filter continuously when the incoming data distribution at the corresponding remote site changes. Analysis and extensive experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms the existing work.
