|MMC Shares Tips On Avoiding Winter Illness
LEWISBURG, TN – Winter is prime time for colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses. Marshall Medical Center (MMC) has some tips for staying healthy this winter.
People are most vulnerable at this time of year because we often spend more time indoors with others as the weather gets colder. Children are especially susceptible as a result of their close proximity to others while at school or day care programs. Cold and flu bugs are easily spread to friends, siblings, parents and others once the virus has taken hold. While most of these bugs come and go in a few days with no lasting effects, some can lead to serious health problems.
"People entering their senior years are more at risk of developing serious complications from the flu. Those 65 and older and residents of nursing homes, assisted living centers or other places that house people with chronic medical conditions should be immunized as soon as the influenza vaccine is available," said Dr. Kanthi C. Narra, a family and geriatric specialist with Marshall Medical Center. "Close follow-up with their physician is another important aspect. The medicines that we have are effective and decrease patient morbidity if started within the first 48 hours. Patients also need to be monitored for other complications. This particularly applies to children and the elderly."
Cold and flu symptoms can be similar but the two viruses are different. Colds are distinguished by sneezing and a stuffy or runny nose. Coughing, a scratchy throat and watery eyes are other symptoms of a cold. Flu symptoms will also include a fever (usually 102 degrees or higher), headache, chills, body aches and fatigue. Flu will come on more suddenly than a cold and will last longer. Young children may also experience nausea and vomiting with the flu. Acute bronchitis, commonly called a chest cold, often follows a cold or flu infection and may last for several weeks.
How to avoid those winter bugs:
Get vaccinated against the flu – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu vaccine, available as a shot or nasal spray, is the best way to prevent the flu. The best time to get your vaccination is from October through November. Getting it in December or January can still be effective. With few exceptions, everyone six months and older should be vaccinated. If you have severe allergies (especially to eggs), a high fever, are pregnant or have moderate or severe illness, you should first consult your health care professional before getting vaccinated.
Wash your hands and teach your children to do the same – Both colds and flu can be passed through coughing and sneezing. They are also passed by touching contaminated surfaces, including hands. The CDC recommends washing hands frequently with warm, soapy water for at least 15 seconds. Alcohol-based rubs can be used if soap and water are not handy; however, the CDC recommends against using these when hands are visibly dirty because organic material such as dirt or blood will inactivate alcohol, rendering it unable to kill bacteria.
Limit exposure to infected people – It is especially important to keep infants away from crowds for the first few months of life. Premature babies who may have underlying abnormalities are especially susceptible as is anyone with chronic medical conditions such as lung disease and diabetes.
Practice healthy habits – Eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, exercise, try to keep your stress in check and, if you smoke, by all means quit.

Czech President Milos Zeman on Tuesday appointed his economic advisor Jiri Rusnok as the new prime minister after an unprecedented corruption scandal toppled the right-wing predecessor.
The move immediately drew fire from snubbed political leaders, who signalled Rusnok's cabinet would not pass a confidence vote in parliament.
"Dear prime minister, thank you for having accepted my offer to become the premier at this very difficult time," Zeman said after Rusnok was sworn in as head of what is being billed as a technocratic government.
The grey-haired Rusnok, 52, was finance minister in Zeman's leftist government in 2001-2002 and became his economic advisor after his landslide election as president in January.
The country that produced respected Velvet Revolution icon Vaclav Havel is now wallowing in political turmoil as it battles through its longest-ever recession of six straight quarters.
In a scandal unheard of even in this graft-prone country, the centre-right government of Petr Necas was forced to step down last week after his chief of staff and alleged lover was indicted for abuse of power and bribery.
Rusnok said he would "put together the (new) cabinet in two weeks and hopefully have it appointed by that time too".
But political opponents leapt quickly onto the attack, with influential rightwinger Miroslav Kalousek, the outgoing finance minister, saying Rusnok had "no chance of winning a confidence vote in parliament."
Three outgoing centre-right coalition parties say they have the 101 seats needed in the 200-member lower house of parliament to approve a government led by rightwing speaker of parliament Miroslava Nemcova.
"We are wasting time, losing momentum. This is a move dead on arrival," Nemcova said of Zeman's decision to choose Rusnok.
Prague nurse Hana Zelenakova agrees, echoing 55 percent of Czechs who want a snap election according to an opinion poll published last week.
"I would personally welcome early elections," she told AFP Tuesday insisting Zeman's choice lacked legitimacy.
The next regularly scheduled general vote is in May 2014.
But the president appeared confident Tuesday that even if right and leftwing parties join forces for the 120 votes needed to trigger snap elections, a Rusnok administration could hang on long enough to draft the 2014 budget.
"If parliament is dissolved, if the opponent parties team up, I suppose Prime Minister Rusnok's government will rule till around the end of September. The budget draft needs to be ready by that time," he said.
Under the constitution a snap election must be held within 60 days after parliament's dissolution.
But Zeman could delay early polls, since it is the president who decides on the dissolution.
"He may put off the decision under various pretexts," political analyst Jiri Pehe told AFP, also warning that with a Rusnok administration Zeman "will gain control over the government, at least temporarily".
He added Rusnok's government may decide on the construction of two new units at the Temelin nuclear power station, a contract worth an estimated 200 to 300 billion koruna (eight to 12 billion euros, $10 to 15 billion). The contract winner is to be announced this autumn.
An EU member of 10.5 million people, the Czech Republic has been plagued by corruption since it emerged as an independent state after its 1993 split with Slovakia -- a legacy of four decades of totalitarian communist rule.
The latest crisis erupted when Necas's chief of staff Jana Nagyova was arrested in a June 13 police swoop that included the cabinet office.
Nagyova was charged along with seven other senior figures including military intelligence heads and former lawmakers.
Prosecutors also believe she had military spies tail Necas's wife of 25 years. The former prime minister announced his divorce two days before the swoop.
The Czech Republic has previously had two interim governments, the 1998 Havel-appointed administration of Josef Tosovsky and another one lasting a year after a cabinet fell midway through its EU presidency in March 2009.

I'm familiar with the :hover psuedo class and using it for elements as well as the typical link setup we're all used to. What I am trying to do however is create a situation where hover over one element would change properties of another. For instance if I were to hover over .block1, #block2 would become visible. I would think the .css would look like something this...
.block1:hover div#block2
but that's getting me nowhere. Thoughts? I know that I could probably use javascript to make this happen (make elements appear and disappear) but I would love to find a pure css solution to this.

Homelessness and problem gambling are two public health concerns in the UK that are rarely considered concurrently, and little is known about the extent of gambling involvement and problematic gambling in the homeless. We recruited 456 individuals attending homelessness services in London, UK. All participants completed a screen for gambling involvement, and where gambling involvement was endorsed, the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) was administered. The PGSI risk categories were compared against data from the 2010 British Gambling Prevalence Survey (BGPS). PGSI problem gambling was indicated in 11.6 % of the homeless population, compared to 0.7 % in the BGPS. Of participants endorsing any PGSI symptoms, a higher proportion of homeless participants were problem gamblers relative to the low and moderate risk groups, compared to the BGPS data. These results confirm that the homeless constitute a vulnerable population for problem gambling, and that diagnostic tools for gambling involvement should be integrated into homelessness services in the UK.

Nearly half of DHS's top management positions are vacant, raising concerns about its ability to improve its acquisition processes. (Stock image)
The Department of Homeland Security is moving in fits and starts to improve the way it buys goods and services, a problem the chairman of a key congressional committee blames at least in part on management vacancies. The agency says DHS needs to make better choices.
Michele Mackin, GAO's director of acquisition and sourcing management, told the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency on Sept. 19 that her agency found wide gaps in how DHS applies its acquisition program baseline documentation, which outlines expected costs, schedules and the capabilities to be delivered to the end user. (Read FCW's earlier coverage.)
Testimony of Michele Mackin, GAO
GAO hiring report
Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said part of the problem is not enough people to do the work. "Eighteen of the top 40 management positions at DHS are vacant," he noted.
DHS's knowledge-based approach to procurement, Mackin told the subcommittee, tends to mitigate risks such as cost growth and slipped schedules using critical cost and performance milestones. Other practices, however, are applied erratically.
In September 2012, GAO found that only four of 66 DHS programs had all of the required documents approved in accordance with DHS policy. Although the department has moved to improve its acquisition management, Mackin said GAO continues to find problems.
She said DHS's July 2013 status assessment showed that, as of the end of fiscal year 2012, many major programs still face cost and schedule shortfalls.
Mackin said GAO also noted that DHS tends to make its major spending decisions on a "program-by-program" basis, or on a "DHS component-by-DHS component" basis, rather than establishing departmental priorities across the board.
Mackin said GAO's work at the Defense Department found that approach can thwart efforts to achieve a balanced mix of programs that are affordable and feasible and that provide the greatest return on investment.
To address the issue, GAO recommended a high-level oversight board to "identify potential trade-offs among DHS's component agencies." DHS's Integrated Investment Life Cycle Model is intended to improve portfolio management by ensuring that mission needs drive spending decisions, she said.
GAO, Mackin noted, has recommended such an oversight body for several years. "While the IILCM, as envisioned, could improve DHS management decisions by better linking missions to acquisition outcomes, our ongoing work indicates that its full implementation may be several years away," she said.
Acquisition management is not the only area in which GAO noted a problem at Homeland Security this week.
On Sept. 17, GAO issued a report that echoed McCaul's concerns about staffing. The study said a key DHS cyber security office was having problems finding and retaining personnel. According to the study, as of June the agency's National Protection and Programs Directorate's Office of Cybersecurity and Communications had a 22 percent vacancy rate.
"NPPD has recently struggled with filling some key [mission critical occupations], such as those for [Federal Protective Service] officers and cybersecurity personnel," said the study. FPS officers, it explained, are sworn law enforcement officers and trained security experts who provide security assessments, inspections and oversight for contract guards, and respond to crimes in progress.
GAO said that since cybersecurity personnel are spread throughout a number of different occupational series within NPPD, generally concentrated in IT, it had no way to specifically count cybersecurity hires and losses.
The study attributed the losses to slow op secret/sensitive compartmented information clearances; low pay in comparison with that of private sector positions; and lack of clearly defined skill sets or a unique occupational series for the positions.

What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
DHS does not need more oversight, I think they already have 33 committees that oversee their work. What they need is to move away from the weapon systems acquisition framework that Mitre helped implement that drives analysis/paralysis. If DHS would embrace agile acquisition frameworks like the Acquisition Assurance Method (AAM), supported by a non-profit like HSI, they would see most of these issues evaporate immediately.

How many hats do you wear in your town? Lots of physicians all over the country these days are wearing the extra hat of public service, and their impact on the community is tremendous, according to another Medicine at Work report on page 947. The article, "Double-Hatted Doctors Are Remaking Our Communities," points up the beneficial influence that physicians can exert when they join with other groups to get out the vote, campaign for greater safety, push for school improvments, or take part in other civic betterment programs.
All these "nonmedical" activities actually are linked to better health for the doctor's fellow citizens. But what is more, they are putting his practice into the proper perspective of many doing together what cannot be done alone or separately. In community activity, a physician finds his "whole" patient—individually and collectively—looking to him for leadership in an endeavor where service is a fruitful

The same blustery winds triggering lake-effect snow will whip across the entire Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Northeast today. The winds will not only create a chill in the air but could cause some minor damage.
The winds will howl throughout today, but it is during the midday and afternoon hours when many places will record their strongest winds. Gusts up to 45 mph are expected. Winds of this magnitude could down tree limbs and cause minor damage to outdoor structures. Additional damage could result if these branches land on vehicles or buildings. These falling limbs could also lead to bodily harm or power outages.
Downwind of the Great Lakes, wind gusts could exceed 45 mph throughout today. Localized blizzards will ensue as the winds severely blow and drift the lake-effect snow. More widespread tree damage and power outages are also likely.
The blustery winds will continue to howl into Friday over the Great Lakes and Northeast. The Northeast will especially notice the winds on Friday with colder air in place.

Gold Climbs for First Time in Three Days on China Demand
Gold futures rose for the first time in three sessions on signs of increasing demand in China.
In May, imports by China from Hong Kong jumped sixfold to 75,635.7 kilograms (75.6 metric tons) from a year earlier, Hong Kong government data showed. The nation "remains the most important player on the global gold market," Commerzbank AG said in a report. The dollar fell from a five-week high against a basket of currencies, boosting the appeal of the metal as an alternative investment.
"Higher physical demand in China is good news for the market," Sterling Smith, a commodity analyst at Citigroup Inc.'s institutional client group in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. "The mildly weak dollar is also positive."
Gold futures for August delivery rose 0.6 percent to settle at $1,589.10 an ounce at 1:36 p.m. on the Comex in New York. The price fell 2.6 percent in the previous two sessions.
The World Gold Council has forecast that China will top India this year as the world's largest consumer because rising incomes will bolster demand.
Silver futures for September delivery jumped 1.9 percent to $27.444 an ounce.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, platinum futures for October delivery dropped 0.2 percent to $1,445.90 an ounce. Palladium futures for September delivery advanced 0.6 percent to $583.90 an ounce.

Willis&LFHolleyMonk son Silas and Family
I am working on this family and see you have quite a bit of info on them. My ancestor child of Willis and L.Frances Holley Monk is Sarah Monk who married Thomas Davis and died in Lamar County Texas. Their son William Davis (m. Judith America Roden 1854 Lamar Co. TX)(1860 Census - Flintham Tan Yard Red River Co TX) (died in Civil War...and cannot find which WmDavis in Conf sources he is!!) is my Great Great Grandfather - or so it would seem through DNA.
Is this your family or did you take the photos for someone else??? I am looking for documentation to help me keep the Willis and Silas Monks straight..as well as the Thomas and William Davises..several in each generation! I would really appreciate any info you have above and beyond this and other photos.
Would appreciate any help you can give!

Today in Speculation
Today continues the drumbeat of CIA leak case stories pointing toward big trouble for Rove, Libby, and probably others in the Bush administration. Also, today brings the best leak/knife-in-Cheney's-back that we've seen so far: a look into the Blackberry messages of Liz Cheney. If those are coming out, the wheels are coming off, and the suspects in this investigation are turning on each other something fierce. With only seven days left before the grand jury expires, here is…
* The LA Times, in the mustest must-read of the day (sorry Dan), has documents, quotes, and even blackberry messages showing how obsessed Libby was with countering Joseph Wilson. Keep in mind, while reading this, that Libby is known as "Cheney's Cheney."
The Note, that all-knowing insider newsletter, suggests what both the commoners and the cognoscenti might want to glean from the LA Times story:
Casual reader take-away: Scooter Libby was obsessed with Joe Wilson, suggesting possible motive.
Inside reader take-away: Does the White House (that is, Lynne Cheney) know who leaked all of this "private" data, including (oh… my… goodness) Liz Cheney's Blackberry messages.
* The New York Times has what may be the biggest procedural news, reporting that "Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby have been advised that they may be in serious legal jeopardy." Does that mean they have been sent the target letters that everyone has been waiting for? The Times doesn't say, but it sure sounds like it.
The Note says:
Casual reader take-away: The cover-up is (still) always worse than the crime.
Inside reader take-away: The entire Old Media now consider at least some indictments a mortal lock, with all the body language leaning towards some of the more nuclear scenarios.
* The Washington Post finds people in the White House freaking out as Fitzgerald's footsteps get closer.
The Note:
Casual reader take-away: The White House is in fact braced for indictments and possibly losing the services of Karl C. Rove, but is also planning to fight back if that seems fitting and proper.
Inside reader take-away: History might record that 9/11 job lock produced the burnout that set the Bush presidency down its current path.
* Meanwhile, in what seems a very ominous sign, Fitzgerald has launched his own web site. Already, some popular special counsel documents are up there. Perhaps indictments next?
* And for those of you keeping score at home (or playing Wonkette's Indictment Bingo), here is a list of all the people who have testified before Fitzgerald's grand jury so far, including my favorite witness, "Stranger who stopped Novak in the street."
Tune in later today when I round up THIS WEEK IN SPECULATION.

Not All Teachers in Lake Wales Schools Able to Donate, Trustees Told
Published: Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 11:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 11:23 p.m.
LAKE WALES | School administrators said Monday that the Charter School System's 'Daring to be Different' capital campaign had 100 percent of school employees' support, but not all could donate.
When the matter was brought up at the Lake Wales Charter Schools board of trustees meeting, principals said not all teachers and staff could afford to donate.
As described earlier that evening by Robin Gibson, chair of the Lake Wales Charter Schools Foundation, the reason for having all teachers and staff participate was to show unity when foundation members approached private donors.
Gibson recognized Dale A. Fair Babson Park Elementary School during the meeting as the first school to reach 100 percent participation and receive a $1,000 grant from the foundation.
Babson Park Principal Ken Henson said after the meeting that all of his 46 employees donated something, even if it wasn't much.
'We just kept asking until they did it,' he said.
Gibson said the Charter System started with 28 employees giving to the foundation, but gained 404 new employee givers during the campaign.
The campaign, initiated in mid-July, was needed because public funding for schools is inadequate and that funding from donors makes the difference, Gibson said.
'This is a source of a lot of pride for people in this system who believe in this system,' Gibson said.
He had left the meeting, however, by the time Anthony Cothron of Lake Wales spoke to trustees, saying he was not surprised to find out that not every employee had donated.
He cited the economy, the holidays and people needing raises as reasons why neither Superintendent Jesse Jackson nor the six school principals should believe 100 percent of teachers and staff could give.
Cothron also passed out copies of a Nov. 26 email from the Charter System central office showing that a week before December, Edward W. Bok Academy was at 71.8 percent participation and Lake Wales High School was at 58.7 percent.
It also said Donna Dunson, Lake Wales High's principal, had offered to pitch in for those not able to contribute.
'We all did this,' she said, gesturing to other principals at the trustees' meeting.
Dunson told trustees that a lot of her 104 people couldn't afford to donate.
'Quite frankly, there are a couple of young teachers that even $5 (was a lot), so I covered it,' Dunson said.
She said Tuesday that the total amount she put in for teachers and staff was $16.50.
Damien Moses, principal at Bok Academy, said some among his 39 employees told him that donating would be a struggle, but he didn't know how many actually took the help.
Gail Quam, principal at Polk Avenue Elementary, said four or five people out of 60 employees asked for help.
She said she signed her name by each of their donations to keep it honest.
Barbara Jones, principal at Janie Howard Wilson Elementary School, didn't know if any of her teachers needed help, but said everyone supported the need for the campaign.
In mid-November, he reported that the campaign had raised nearly $2 million from employee and citizen donors — $750,000 of it coming in after October.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- A space scientist who helped send Americans to the moon has died.
Frederick Ordway III died Tuesday in Huntsville. He was 87.
Ordway worked with Wernher von Braun on missile systems in the 1950s in north Alabama, and he later played key roles in the Apollo lunar program.
Ordway also wrote more than 30 books, and he served as a technical adviser on the film "2001: A Space Odyssey."
Recently, Ordway has been working on an exhibit about the movie that's supposed to open next year at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.
Daughter Aliette Marisol Lambert says her father never lost his love for space. She says his top goal was for the world to keep its eyes on the universe.
Relatives didn't release the cause of death.

Wow this was a great ragu sauce...I added a little shredded carrots to it to sweeten it up some..
you would never know if was healthy for you.
5 Stars for flavor! This sauce is truly delicious. It's very hearty with great ingredients that we love. The recipe did not state to cook covered or not, so we covered it and wound up having to add a bit of tomato paste to thicken it up before serving. We felt the intro mentioning 'Halloween' did not follow any reasoning as it's not a dish specifically designed to that holiday. Overall, although we had to add tomato paste to thicken up the sauce, the flavor is wonderful. :)

It's not just Sherlock being shot randomly. and if anyone wants to read it, let me know and I'll either post it or post a link. (I'm planning on using this as the cover picture) And if anyone thinks this needs a mature content filter on it let me know! I wasn't sure if it needed it or not...
Post it. Post It now woman. I need this brilliance...
I will I will, promise! I've had philosophy papers to write instead T^T I'm gonna try to get at least some of it posted tomorrow. (unless my teacher emails me and tells me to rewrite stuff again)

"A crossroads for Ferry Travellers" Top 5 Page for this destination Picton by fishandchips
Picton Travel Guide: 83 reviews and 211 photos
Picton is a small town that never really got going. It has its main street with various shops and cafes, the Interisland Ferry terminal and access to many walking tracks around Queen Charlotte Sound. Picton is an ideal homebase for the Marlborough region including Nelson, the Sounds, Blenheim and the fabulous wines of the area. Picton has a nice Golf Course (9 hole) at Koromiko which is also where the small Airport is located. You are also close to Havelock and its good fishing.
The place has been in slow decline for several years and currently is in need of a bit of a re-birth!!
Queen Charlotte Sound has a very good walking track and there are a number of companies that do boat trips to the start of many places on the track. It's a good way to do a walk and get a bit of a cruise around the Sounds at the same time. Around Picton itself are a number of good tracks - Tirohanga Track and Snout Track are the two to choose from with the Tirohanga going up into Esson's Valley and finishing at a couple of different Dams - Barnes & Humphries. The view over Picton from Hilltop is very nice.
The mainstay of the Picton economy is on the Ferry. Be it Freight or passengers, much of Pictons cashflow results from people & produce moving between Islands. The trip takes just on 3 hours if you feel inclined to do so.
- Pros:Small, friendly and close to many things
- Cons:Not the most impressive welcome to the South Island
- In a nutshell:A great place to relax

AMES, IA- The Texas A&M football team put up some eye-opening numbers in Saturday night's win over Iowa State.
SCORING ON THE ROAD -- A&M's 49 points against Iowa State were the most by the Aggies in a road game since scoring 51 points in a 51-14 romp over Missouri in 1999.
FRIENDLY CONFINES -- With tonight's 49-35 victory, Mike Sherman became the third A&M coach to notch the first Big 12 road victory of their career against Iowa State at Jack Trice Stadium. R.C. Slocum tallied a 24-21 victory in 1996, while Dennis Franchione posted his Big 12 road victory No. 1 with a 34-3 win in 2004.
ACCURACY RECORD FOR JOHNSON -- It was a record-setting accuracy night for quarterback Jerrod Johnson, who completed a sizzling 79.5 percent of his passes against Iowa State. The previous accuracy record with a minimum of 30 attempts was 69.4 percent by Stephen McGee vs. Texas in 2007 (25-of-36) and Kevin Murray vs. Baylor in 1986 (25-of-36). Johnson connected on 31-of-39 passes for 381 yards, which marks his second 300-yard game of 2008 and his career. His 31 completions were a career high and the most since Branndon Stewart set the school record of 34 against Colorado in 1996. Johnson became the fourth A&M quarterback to have two or more 300-yard passing games in a season (the others are Dustin Long, Randy McCown, Mark Farris and Reggie McNeal). Johnson used eight different receivers, including three freshmen, for his big passing night.
SEASON HIGH FOR POINTS -- The Aggies' 49 points were a season-high, and ranked as the most points by A&M since a 54-14 win over Louisiana-Monroe in 2007. It was the most points by any Mike Sherman-coached team since the Green Bay Packers beat the New Orleans Saints, 52-3, in 2005. The two teams combined for 84 points, which also occurred in A&M's 56-28 loss to Oklahoma State.
FIRST HALF PRODUCTION -- For the second straight week, the Aggies established season highs for first half points and total offense. In the first two quarters, the Aggies scored 28 points (previous best was 23 last week vs. Texas Tech) and 275 total yards (previous best was 274 vs. Tech).
THE REAL McCOYS -- The Aggies' McCoy brothers -- Jamie and Terrence -- combined for 13 catches for 177 yards and three touchdowns, which has to be the most productive game ever by a brother tandem in school history.
Jamie McCoy led the way with seven catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns, all career highs. He is the first A&M tight end to surpass the 100-yard level since Martellus Bennett had 133 yards on five catches against Baylor in 2006.
Terrence McCoy contributed six catches for 67 yards, which were both career highs, and a touchdown.
TANNEHILL BREAKS ANOTHER FRESHMAN RECORD ... -- With six catches for 78 yards, redshirt freshman Ryan Tannehill broke A&M's freshman receptions and receiving yards records. Tannehill now has 39 catches (breaking Terrence Murphy's record of 36 set in 2001) and 583 receiving yards (breaking Brian Mitchell's record of 519 set in 1991).
... SO DOES FULLER -- Fellow freshman Jeff Fuller grabbed sole possession of the freshman receiving touchdowns record with his fifth receiving score of the year when he scored on a eight-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter.
ANOTHER FRESHMAN BREAKS RECORD -- True freshman Cyrus Gray set a school record for kickoff return yards in a season. Gray had 53 yards on two returns against ISU, which pushed his season total to 650 (breaking old mark of 644 yards set by Kerry Franks in 2007).
THE BIG 5-0 -- Ray Guy Award candidate Justin Brantly pinned the Cyclones at their 2-yard line early in the third quarter for the 50th "coffin corner" kick of his career. He is chasing Shane Lechler's record of 59 set from 1996-99.
J-TRAIN HITS PAYDIRT -- Senior fullback Jorvorskie Lane increased his school records for career rushing and total touchdowns to 46 and 47, respectively, with a one-yard plunge in the second half.
ANOTHER FRESHMAN STARTER -- Making his first career start was true freshman Joey Villavisenscio, who was also seeing the first action of his A&M career. He became the seventh true freshman to start this year, and the eighth member of Mike Sherman's initial signing class to start.
• The 12th Man was junior fullback Ryan O'Bryant, who earned the starting nod for the second straight week.
• Game captains were 12th Man Ryan O'Bryant, quarterback Jerrod Johnson and defensive back Alton Dixon. The Aggies won the toss and deferred to the second half.

AbstractIn this Phase I program, an infrared-sensitive visibly-clear, optical-grade material, capable of upconverting (UC) infrared (IR) scene information into three visible wavelengths will be developed. Ballistic protection goggle-compatible laminates, easily incorporated into swappable lenses, will be made from visibly-transparent semiconductor nanostructures that are sensitized with infrared upconverting additives. In order to generate a thin film for IR detection, nanostructure surface functionalization will be performed to provide matrix-element compatibility and promote UC efficiency. To optimize detectivity and UC efficiency, in Phase I, we will synthesize the nanocrystals and UC materials. Using an orthogonal design experiment, the detector sensitivity, spectral response, optical clarity, visible-spectrum transmissivity, and fabrication technology of the thin-film IR-sensitive UC appliqué will be optimized. Working with an industrial glass laminate manufacturer, we will design the materials to be compatible with optical grade polycarbonate lens that can be can be interchanged quickly for increased situational awareness, yet provide best-in-class protection. The appliqué will have a total weight less than 50 grams and will provide greater than 70% visible transmission, while converting at least three non-visible spectrum bands into different visible spectral wavelengths. In Phase II, these materials and will be demonstrated in a proof-of-concept goggle lens.

I did a search for climate controlled storage, which was offered, but not for the size of the unit I needed. I did not realize I was reserving a non-climate controlled unit.

There's a DB column being wasted for nav_menu_items and i was driving crazy because post_name was always returning a NUMBER! in my navigation menu items.
Then I found out SOME have a text-slug, and SOME DONT.
I don't know why the oddity. I then figured out in the DB that the nav_menu_item is a "type" of post. So I removed the menu items, Created new ones (permalinks as /%postname%/) , new id numbers were assigned, and YET no slug.
Earlier, I already tried manually modifying the slug in the post editor, but the menu items have their own entry, and there seems to be no script to update them based on the post changes (page, not post)
I also tried a plugin to re-create the slugs… no success (it seems to work on the pages only, not the nav_menu_item type posts.
I'm out of ideas.
I need it to style the menu items with a different icon each, and I can't rely on the ID to be always the same.
Is that a bug?
Should they update automatically?
How did some good post_names managed to get there correctly?

alamogordo doesnt support anything anyone does. the desert dawgs play football and have to pay to play. they put their bodies at risk daily for the love of the game and get no support. sure they have people some would consider "thugs", but the sport keeps them off the street. they pay for their own travel expenses and all fees throughout the year and get zero support from the community. the people and businesses of alamogordo only care to help if it is for the younger kids or if it will profit them somehow. it shouldnt be that way but it is. It is hard to do anything positive in this town without the residents shooting it down for whatever reason. there are military guys on the football team, army and air force, who fight for our country and still play for the love of the game. one would think that people would at least support that, but no. the athletic director at the high school is a jerk and doesnt support anything, the people of the city care that people are trying to do something for the older "kids" to have something to do, and the local businesses wont sponsor because they dont want to fork out any money. so the pupfish sounds like a good idea, and it might have a little run in town, but in the end the team will be caught, gutted, cooked, and eaten up by the lack of support in this lame community.

I think that as a community we can make this happen. It's not like we have tons of stuff to do here! A summer full of good baseball sounds great! These type players are who we should want to see play. They really want it! I bet there's no lazy players at this level. From looking at rosters it appears they all played college ball, and many played pro ball elsewhere. I can understand hosting one or two of these guys might not work for all of us, but surely enough can to support one team. From my days of playing ball I can tell you baseball players are normally very likeable, polite young men who have a lot of little boy left in 'em. What else can we do? I guess we could give a little financial support and go to the games and cheer for the Home Team!! I'm gettin a supply of peanuts and Cracker Jacks! Let's go Pupfish!!

Get a grip people. Not everyone likes sports, or has the money in recession times to put on sportd. I would rather see the kids teams supported. If I want to see professional sports I would watch television. I will not throw my money on these professional sports as I have no interest in them, or the money to spare. Akso why support something where they promote dwi by selling beer at the function. Last thing I need is some drunken fool driving my stree )as a shortcut) while being intoxicated. If people want the team they will support it, if not at least you tried.
#4 Apr 5, 2011
Mr. Johnson,
Exactly how many players are you sponsoring? In this time of economic turmoil, how dare you chastise people and local businesses for not taking on an extra financial obligation. A sound business decision is to check out marketability and demographics before moving into an area. This would be especially important if you have to rely solely on donations and sponsorships . Additionally, in reference to the negative conotation of "Alamoghetto" remarks across the state, what do you think people think when you say White Sands "Pupfish"? I could get behind "reaper" "predator" "raptor" "roadrunner" "trinity" "basin" before I would take a "pupfish" seriously. In the future report the facts...lack of sponsorships and host families may cause the start up semi-pro team to leave Alamogordo.. and keep your personal musings to yourself, until you have a walked a mile or two in everyone elses shoes.
#5 Apr 5, 2011
Mr. Johnson,
When you talk of the lack of support for the team you are focusing your response on the fact that only 5 families have opened their homes for 3 months for a stranger to live with them. It is very difficult financially for many families to support themselves with the cost of city water and electric without thinking of adding another adult to the household. Why don't the hotel owners in Alamogordo show support by volunteering a room to members of the team, or owners of vacant real estate can volunteer to allow several members to stay in their property for 3 months.
I believe there will be a show of support in the form of ticket sales, revenue from concessions, etc. once the games actually start, though I agree with previous responses that the name "Pupfish" isn't very catchy for a pro team. I doubt they will sell very many t-shirts or hats with the logo. I wonder what type of person came up with the idea to name a pro team after an endangered fish with absolutely no appeal. I mean the pupfish isn't attractive or admirable in any aspect. Maybe Mr. Johnson can start a campaign to re-name the team and more people will be seen around town wearing the team colors.

Alamogordo could be swallowed up by a giant sinkhole in the earth and no one would care. It is the trough of human existence. If El Paso is an armpit, Alamorgordo is unwashed pubes.

The kids in this community do not even get support from the schools and the business only give so much support anymore, funds are tight for everyone these days.
Many of the various choir, band, cheer, drill, and any number of sports teams are not funded by the tax payers or the school budget. They pay all their own travel, hotel, food, gear, entry fees and more. They do this with all manner of fund raisers and the parents make up the rest.
We can't even support Middle & High School sports and someone things we can/will/want to support a professional team? In Alamogordo? Amazing!!!!!
#10 Apr 5, 2011
and yet everyone can get a welfare check and stamps! take away the welfare from the druggies and donate that money to sports
#11 Apr 5, 2011
Focus on HAFB and WSMR, Will there be better sports reporting in your newspaper? Will you have daily box scores for the team? Box scores for the Isotopes, Diablos and the Majors? More AP baseball articles so the readers are more interested in the sport as a whole? Free ticket giveaways on the radio? Team shirts and hats given to Little Leaguers? Special Little League days at the ballpark? Live local radio broadcasts of the games? Newspaper contests to be the ballboy, or singing the anthem? It can be a success if the newspaper will help. Find somebody who played the sport to report on it, please..

the desert dawgs been around for 4 years on there own with little support from the community..and zero support from the city. im surprised the city is doing this much with the baseball team when they wont even help the football team at all. the desert dawgs pay for everything they do.. the fields. clean up travel everything.. your asking a town to support a baseball team when they dont even support a football team that doesnt cost them anything! it makes the town money at home games when away teams come n stay here eat here n spend money at our gas stations here..its crazy.. the only people who support the football team are the families of the players n the close friends.. thats it and thats all u have to look forward to with the baseball team..
#13 Apr 5, 2011
The city doesn't want to back a football team that has a sex offender playing for them.
I would distance myself from that deal also.
#14 Apr 5, 2011
How can this community support a any semi pro team, when it can't even support its local high school sport teams. With good coaches and support from the community. You pay for what you get in this town. Good ole boy program in this town. Look at the history of coaches, band directors and community support from the late 70's all the way to the mid 80's.

If we had a decent stadium that I would be willing to pay to enter I would probably attend all home games. I don't see paying to go into Griggs field.
#16 Apr 5, 2011
Ok..so some of the people making comments have some valid points. The problem with this community is most of the people here are NOT sports oriented. It is evident with the lack of support for all sports...well except soccer. The thing that is lacking in this town..is TRADITIONS and the lack there of. Also..the Pupfish? who's bright idea was it to name a professional team the Pupfish? and also, I dont even know what their logo is..there is obviously a severe lack of marketing for the team.
#17 Apr 5, 2011
I could support the Desert Dawgs if they didn't have a couple of thugs and criminals. Not supporting that in any way shape or form.
#18 Apr 5, 2011
I in some ways admire the effort.
It seems, at least on paper, that Alamogordo is trying to go forward.
It seems the city is earnestly, and desperately trying to go forward with this Pupfish endeavor.
And I know very well, that there are more than just a few selfless people who are trying very hard for this all to come together.
But, it could also be at the request of others, who do have agendas.
I'm hoping I'm wrong about this, and hoping that the big folks here stay focused, and put their personal gain behind what's truly good, and truly needed for this community.
#19 Apr 5, 2011
about the stupid desert dawgs. Desert dawgs this, desert dawgs that. Its not like they are an NFL team.
#20 Apr 5, 2011
Wow so many people that post are so negative and think of all these hidden agendas. Did anyone on this post bother to help get a team here, help pick a name, volunteer to do anything. nope didnt think so.....
I think it is great that everyone is trying to work so hard to bring something fun to Alamogordo. Everyone always says there is nothing to do here, its boring, and here the city is trying to do something that just about any other city in the United States would welcome with open arms and be happy to support and instead people are complaining they dont like the name, they dont like the stadium, etc. I am quite sure that if everyone supported the team the could eventually build a new stadium and have better things in Alamogordo. Unfortunately that probly wont happen and everyone here will continue going out of town for entertainment and spend their money helping to improve other cities instead of appreciating all the hard work being done right here.

Japan Rejects China WWII Slavery SuitBreaking News
The 42 former Chinese laborers had sought $6.89 million in damages from the Japanese government and 10 companies they worked for, including major contractors and mining operators. The lawsuit was originally filed in 1997, and only half the laborers are still alive.
Toru Takahashi, a Japanese lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the court issued "a decision to reject the appeal" on Friday, but had no other details.
The court was closed Saturday.
The case was dismissed in June last year by the Tokyo High Court, which ruled that the 42 plaintiffs could not seek compensation because a 20-year statute of limitations had expired.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court, also citing the statute of limitations, rejected appeals by six Chinese people demanding $905,000 in compensation for being forced into slave labor at nickel mines in Kyoto in western Japan during World War II.
In that case, the court said the current government was not responsible for the wrongdoing of leaders who followed the wartime constitution. Japan enacted a pacifist constitution after its WWII defeat.
In April, the Supreme Court ruled that Chinese citizens lost their right to seek redress from Japan following the 1972 signing of a Joint Communique restoring bilateral ties between the countries. In the communique, Beijing abandoned its right to claim war reparations from Japan...

As strange as it may seem, but spilled hot coffee spoiled my day and also made it great in the end.
This was how the day started…
I was on a coffee shop happily sipping my cup of coffee and thinking about my new dress which I'd bought for upcoming work Christmas party. Christmas party at work is a great chance to see all your colleagues in short party dresses. I am a plus size women but the dress I've bought was quite short and teenage in look. So was in deep thinking if I had actually made the right decision, how I am going to look in that dress? etc. It was a bright sunny morning and I was enjoying both my coffee and the morning. When my cup was empty, I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost time to go. The office where I was supposed to go was in the building right across the coffee shop and it will probably just take me a few minutes to get there.
Unhurriedly, I fixed myself and started to get up. Then, lo and behold! I felt hot liquid splashing on my blouse down to my skirt. Someone spilled coffee on me! I looked around for the culprit and saw that it was a middle-aged man wearing a suit. I was ready to nag him for being too clumsy, but he was faster with his apologies.
He placed his cup down on my table and tried to wipe me dry with tissue; as if the coffee spilling was not awkward enough already. I tried to tell him to stop, but he was babbling with apologies and wiping me up and down that I began to feel heat rushing through my face. Awkward, embarrassing and definitely frustrating. Three words that would best describe that scenario in mind at that very moment. Wasn't it enough that people started looking at me when I squealed after the liquid hit me? I also begun feeling that they were not just looking, but I could also hear some were giggling and talking about what the man was doing to me.
Whenever I look back into that moment, I cannot help but smile; if I was just a spectator, I would also probably giggle and say something. But since I was the victim and the one who was getting embarrassed, I considered the stares and the giggles to be rude.
Finally, the man stopped wiping me up and down. I think perhaps, he finally heard me. I looked him in the eye and told him to be careful next time. He couldn't look back at me for too long. He simply said yes and apologized again. I started to move and leave, but he handed me something; a card. I did not even look at it and just grabbed it and asked what was that for. He said to call him so that he could buy a replacement for my blouse and skirt. I could hear some people uttering surprise, while some seem pleased with the man's gesture.
I must admit, I was a little touched. But, my day was ruined and I was not being very forgiving. Thus, I just looked back at him and said that I can take care of that. Yes, my pride and stubborn nature kicked in and I was not about to let the man get away guilt-free. I would not call him, and I know that my rejection of his offer would surely make him feel guiltier. I could not care less about him though. Not at that moment, I was late for my interview!
So hurriedly, I made my exit; as graceful as I could make it. What a way to begin my day. When I woke up that morning I was so positive. I was looking forward to this interview as I know if I passed it, I would be working for one of the top companies in the city. Once I was outside, I looked down at myself. I was wearing a white cotton blouse and the coffee stains were very visible. It was a good thing that I took off my blazer while in the coffee shop. I wore it then and hoped against hope that the stains were no longer visible.
With as much confidence that I could muster, I walked the few steps to the building where I should have already been a couple of minutes ago. I was praying to God that the person who was going to interview me was a kind and forgiving person. I would really hate it to lose this great opportunity just because someone was clumsy enough to spill coffee on me.
As I reached the office reception, I felt a little better when the woman behind the desk smiled at me. She asked me of my name and my purpose of visit. I gave her the information she needed and she asked me to sit at the reception couch and to wait to be called.
I was sitting there for about 10 minutes when the woman addressed me. She said that the interview will be conducted soon, the boss was just a bit late that morning. If I was not late myself, I would feel very annoyed. How dare these lazy corporate bosses think that everyone would wait for them? Five more minutes and I was called and the woman accompanied me to the boss' office. As we entered, I could feel my jaw drop, big time!
I knew the woman said something. She could have announced my name. But for whatever it's worth, I really couldn't remember what was said between her and the man behind the big corporate desk. Slowly, I composed myself and looked at the middle-aged man who was about to interview me. Yes, he was the same man who spilled coffee on me just a few minutes ago.
Awkward? Definitely! And to the highest level. I moved forward at last and accepted his extended right hand. He introduced himself. If only I looked at the card he gave me, I would have known who he was back there at the coffee shop!
He told me to sit down and he started the interview. He was smiling the whole time and that helped me relax a bit. After concluding the interview, he told me that I was hired. I couldn't believe it and my disbelief must have been written all over my face as he started to smile wider and said that his decision has nothing to do with the earlier incident. He assured me that I deserved the job.
As I was walking back to the reception area, I could feel my heart bursting with joy. Who would have thought that a bad day would turn out great after all?

Special Issue
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
The term 'ecosystem' is increasingly used in the entrepreneurship literature, in reference to entrepreneurship policy portfolios, regional clusters of entrepreneurs and specialized resources, innovation ecosystems, and even national entrepreneurial ecosystems. The ecosystems idea implies that the design and implementation of successful entrepreneurial strategies requires attention to not only firm-specific strengths and weaknesses, but also, to the wider context within which the new venture operates. This Special Issue invites both empirical and theoretical work on entrepreneurial ecosystems.
We welcome research that:
- (a) Defines and elaborates the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems – for example, by elaborating conceptually distinct archetypes of entrepreneurial ecosystems and discussing how entrepreneurial ecosystems differ from other widely used contextual concepts, such as markets, clusters, industries, value chains, networks, and organizational fields;
- (b) Explores the efficacy of different business models in entrepreneurial ecosystem contexts;
- (c) Explores strategies and business models that entrepreneurial ventures can use to gain entry to markets and unseat established incumbents by building and leveraging ecosystem momentum for competitive advantage;
- (d) Explores processes that characterize the creation of new entrepreneurial ecosystems;
- (e) Explores strategies for entrepreneurial ecosystem orchestration.
The submission deadline is December 1, 2015.

Historical Approaches to Entrepreneurship Research: Investigating Context, Time, and Change in Entrepreneurial Processes
In recent years, scholars have grown increasingly interested in the promise of historical approaches to entrepreneurship research. History, it has been argued, can be valuable in addressing a number of limitations in traditional approaches to studying entrepreneurship, including by providing multi-level perspectives on the entrepreneurial process, in accounting for contexts and institutions, in understanding the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic change, and in situating entrepreneurial behavior and cognition within the flow of time. History, in this regard, points the direction to both valuable sources and data for addressing such topics and to a body of historical theory from which to conceptualize context, time, and change analytically. Indeed, it is for many of these same reasons that Schumpeter (1947) called on theorists and historians to collaborate in the study of entrepreneurship.
For this special issue, we seek theoretical and empirical work that significantly advances our understanding of whether and how historical research and reasoning can contribute to our understanding of entrepreneurship. In this regard, we encourage submissions that not only make contributions to entrepreneurship research and theory, but also engage the methodological and theoretical issues involved in using historical approaches in the management disciplines. We welcome a broad range of ways to conceptualize and integrate history in entrepreneurship research, including as a set of sources and methods, as context (e.g. industry evolution), as an independent variable (experience at firm or founder level), as a mechanism (process, path dependency, or way of interpreting the past), or an outcome (e.g. historical performance).
The submission deadline is July 15, 2016.

Just got back from Costa Rica and stayed at this wonderful hotel. My wife and I stayed in 3 different rooms over 4 nights at this facility and, frankly, they were hit and miss. Room 403 had a bed, that's it. 401 was fantastic - sea view, large jacuzzi (which we never used, but it was impressive all the same), room for a table and separate seating area. 501 was not quite as nice but had a jet for a shower. Enough of the quibbling - the staff was fantastic and bent over backwards to assist - and did so with a smile on their faces. The beach access was ideal - there was access to a "private" beach (locals could technically get to it, but it was not easy) and a public beach.
We took signed up for two tours, one to the Manuel Antonio reserve. It was okay, but expensive, especially in light of the fact that over the course of our stay we saw nearly every animal (and then some) on the property itself! I HIGHLY recommend the bird tour which takes place on the property. It cost $25 and was an exceptional value. We were the only 2 on the tour and the 1 1/2 hour tour lasted 3 hours. We saw over 25 birds (including a rare juvenile red footed booby - apparently blown off course), 3 types of monkeys, 2 & 3 toed sloths and innumerable lizards.
And did I mention the beach....
One other very small downside - the food was only fair at the hotel (but we found some good food at the Gaia hotel).
I'd give this place an extra 1/2 star but that's not possible here.

Can someone walk me through the steps to do this?

SPRINGFIELD – "When thunder roars, go indoors" is more than a catchy phrase about lightning safety. It's a reminder that you're at risk of being struck by lightning if you're outdoors and can hear thunder. That's the message the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the National Weather Service (NWS) and local emergency management agencies will promote during Lightning Safety Awareness Week June 19-25.
The tragic mass shooting in Orlando is a vivid reminder that these types of attacks can happen anywhere. Citizens can play an important role in preventing such attacks by reporting suspicious activities to their local law enforcement agency. If you "See Something, Say Something' by calling 9-1-1. For more information, visit the Department of Homeland Security.
Businesses also can take steps to prepare businesses and their employees to plan for the safety and security of their businesses and communities. Businesses are encouraged to Connect, Plan, Train and Report. Learn more on businesses preparedness.

Hi there! Lovely plugin!
Maybe I'm missing something. But you only see the results (via ajax), after you hit the search button.
How can I make it so, that my first visit shows all the results with my normal foreach loop. After you hit search, my foreach loop disappears and the ajax search results appear.
Get me? :P
