Top 5 signees ready to make immediate contributions for BYU and Utah
Coaches are very high on Cook, who is one of the most overlooked signees of the 2014 BYU class. Cook shined his senior season at Vista Murrieta High School and has the size and physical makeup to make an immediate contribution at outside linebacker.
There are a lot of spots to be filled at outside linebacker with the graduation of both Kyle Van Noy and Spencer Hadley, so Cook should be afforded a lot of looks.

We didn't have a true starting RB last season. So what about Dacorius Law,
is he good enough to be a starter this season? Does he have academic issues?
Regardless, can't wait until fall camp.

I'd replace Hobbs with either Kenric Young, who has the height, speed and
athleticism to be able to compete for good time in the rotation with Dres and K
Scott at wideout if he can adjust to the physicality and read coverages in the
college game, or DJ Law, if (according to reports) he is able to get his grades
in order, who looks like a stronger version of Bubba Poole, and is already
accustomed to the spread option run game from high school. This isn't a
knock on Hobbs, he looks very athletic and fast, but with Thomas, Orphey and
Porter all gaining a lot of experience and developing throughout last year, I
see them taking about all of the reps this season.
Also, Tasini may be interchangeable with Havili-Katoa as a 3- or 4-tech tackle/end.
Excited for spring ball to get started to see how a few of these guys develop, and then for the lineups to shape up in August.

A Deltona man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter after killing his wife will not go to prison.
A judge sentenced 82-year-old Robert Benjo on Friday to two years of house arrest, followed by 13 years probation to fulfill a
15-year suspended prison. A defense attorney had argued that Benjo
had only killed his sick, elderly wife to end her suffering.
Benjo fired a .22-caliber bullet into the head of his wife, Peggy, on June 5, 2008. His attorney said the woman suffered from cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
Benjo pleaded guilty to manslaughter in September. He could have faced a maximum of 30 years in prison.

I have a web app (simpleSAML.php) wrapped in a Wordpress widget that needs to serve paths like the following:
My nginx configuration for Wordpress works fine, but the part that needs to serve the complex path above does not. It returns "File not found" and posts "Primary script unknown" errors in the nginx log.
Here's what I have in the vhost config:

This has been cobbled together from a working simpleSAML.php installation at our office and old solutions found by other people around the web.

Al-Qaeda plotting to bomb US plane: report
Al-Qaeda is plotting a terrorist attack on a US airliner, Britain's Sunday Times newspaper reported, citing intelligence sources.
The broadsheet said Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had recruited a Norwegian Muslim convert and given him terrorist training in Yemen, and that the group were believed to have selected a US passenger jet as a target.
Global Smart Cities Market (Smart Home, Smart Buildings and Infrastructures, Energy Management, Syst...
"The Norwegian recruit goes under the Islamic name of Muslim Abu Abdurrahman," the newspaper said.
"He is understood to be in his thirties and a 'clean skin', with no previous criminal record. He converted in 2008 and quickly became radicalised.
"He later travelled to Yemen, where he has spent several months, to complete his training."
The CIA foiled a similar AQAP plot to blow up a US-bound airliner in May, reportedly using a double agent who infiltrated the group and volunteered for the suicide attack.
AQAP has been linked to the 2009 Christmas plot in which a bomb hidden in a Nigerian attacker's underwear failed to detonate on a plane bound for Detroit.
It is also suspected of having a hand in a 2010 attempt to blow up cargo planes heading to the United States with explosives concealed in printer cartridges.

32 Resort Reviews
Write New Review
Took the family for a few days during Feb vacation. I had read the reviews posted here - the good and the bad - and decided take a chance. As it turned out we all had a great time. The rooms were simple but clean offered enough room. The building is a bit of a maze but that did not bother us. The two restuarants were resonably priced and the food was good, It started snowing on the way up and continued snowing until we had to leave so we skied on fresh powder the entire time. The price was - by far - the best I had found for slopeside accomodations. I will seriously consider returning next year. Keep in mind that this is not a fancy resort but a good place for skiers of all ages - and especially families - to go.
One word of caution. The access road is about 4 miles and it is steep in sections. When it snows, it can be very difficult getting up the road if you do not have 4wd or snow tires. I was driving a mini-van and barely made it up there. Plowing is handled by the town and I wish they attended to the access road a bit earlier - and more often - the night we arrived.

Not super cheap, but after looking through a few of Nikon's Monarch scopes, I'm sold. I have taken this scope to the range and not had any problems out to 300 yards. I really can't wait to take this on its first deer hunt. I wish it were a little bit less expensive, but all in all, a great pick.

33 U.S. Code § 407 - Deposit of refuse in navigable waters generally
It shall not be lawful to throw, discharge, or deposit, or cause, suffer, or procure to be thrown, discharged, or deposited either from or out of any ship, barge, or other floating craft of any kind, or from the shore, wharf, manufacturing establishment, or mill of any kind, any refuse matter of any kind or description whatever other than that flowing from streets and sewers and passing therefrom in a liquid state, into any navigable water of the United States, or into any tributary of any navigable water from which the same shall float or be washed into such navigable water; and it shall not be lawful to deposit, or cause, suffer, or procure to be deposited material of any kind in any place on the bank of any navigable water, or on the bank of any tributary of any navigable water, where the same shall be liable to be washed into such navigable water, either by ordinary or high tides, or by storms or floods, or otherwise, whereby navigation shall or may be impeded or obstructed:
Section is from act Mar. 3, 1899, popularly known as the "Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1899".
This section and sections 408, 411, and 412 of this title, superseded act Aug. 18, 1894, ch. 299, §§ 6, 7, 8, 28 Stat. 363, which prohibited the depositing of refuse in navigable waters for the improvement of which money had been appropriated, and the injury to sea walls and other works built by the Government, and prescribed penalties for violations, including penalties against masters, etc., and vessels.
Section also superseded act Sept. 19, 1890, ch. 907, § 6, 26 Stat. 453, which prohibited obstructing navigation by deposits of refuse, etc., in navigable waters.
Department of War designated Department of the Army and title of Secretary of War changed to Secretary of the Army by section 205(a) of act July 26, 1947, ch. 343, title II, 61 Stat. 501. Section 205(a) of act July 26, 1947, was repealed by section 53 of act Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 641. Section 1 of act Aug. 10, 1956, enacted "Title 10, Armed Forces" which in sections 3010 to 3013 continued Department of the Army under administrative supervision of Secretary of the Army.
This section is popularly known as the "Refuse Act of 1899".
Functions, powers, and duties of Secretary of the Army and other offices and officers of Department of the Army under section 401 of this title to extent that they relate generally to location and clearances of bridges and causeways in navigable waters of United States transferred to and vested in Secretary of Transportation by Pub. L. 89–670, § 6(g)(6)(A), Oct. 15, 1966, 80 Stat. 941, which created Department of Transportation. Pub. L. 97–449 amended section 401 of this title to reflect transfer made by section 6(g)(6)(A) of Pub. L. 89–670, and repealed section 6(g)(6)(A).
No permits for discharges into navigable waters to be issued under this section after Oct. 18, 1972, and the discharge permit program to be carried out instead under section 1342 of this title, with applications under this section pending on Oct. 18, 1972, to be deemed applications for permits under section 1342, see section 1342 of this title.
Ex. Ord. No. 11574, Dec. 23, 1970, 35 F.R. 19627, which provided for administration of a permit program to regulate discharge of pollutants and other refuse matter into navigable waters or their tributaries and placement of such matter on their banks, was revoked by Ex. Ord. No. 12553, Feb. 25, 1986, 51 F.R. 7237.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
I name two comic book characters. You then have to connect the two using only shared appearances in comic books (official appearances in comics only – no cameos like Terry Austin sneaking Popeye into the background of a panel and no outside comic book appearances, like cartoons and the like). You have to do so using less than six comics total. Covers and pin-ups do not count – only actual appearances in the same comic book story (so it doesn't count if they each appeared in separate stories inside the same anthology). Mythological characters and real people (by the way, unless a fake name is used for a real person, like Ronald Raygun or whatever, you can use the person even if they are not officially named in the comic) are unique to their own comic book appearances (so DC's Thor is different than Marvel's Thor, DC's Ronald Reagan is different from Marvel's Ronald Reagan, etc.). But a licensed character is the same in all of their various comic book companies (so the Marvel Red Sonja is the same as the Dynamite Red Sonja) and approved appearances by a real person can go across comic book companies, as well (so, for instance, you can use Marv Wolfman from his Teen Titans appearance to connect with Marv Wolfman in his Fantastic Four appearance). Approval tends to be the key (except for public figures, of course).
Every week, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of turns gets to pick the next week's match- (in the event of a tie, the winner is chosen randomly). Last week was Ren and Stimpy to Prince William. Paul Lehnert was one of a couple of people who connected the two in three moves! Here is how Michael connected the two…
Ren and Stimpy appeared in Quasar #50 with Quasar
Quasar appeared in Quasar #11 with Rachel Summers
Rachel Summers appeared in Excalibur #12 with Prince William
It is debatable whether Chris Claremont intended the Prince William who appeared in Excalibur #12 to be THE Prince William, but it a close enough call that I gave it to Paul.
Paul's challenge is…
Kismet Deadly to Hitman
E-mail me your answers at email@example.com. Do NOT post your answers in the comments section!
Whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of comics gets to pick the connection for next time around (I'll pick a random winner in the event of a tie)!
Remember, only authorized appearances in comic books count (for instance, Wolverine in Gen13 #13 and all Marvel characters in Savage Dragon/Destroyer Duck do not count)!
X to "anyone Superman has ever been in an issue of" or "anyone who has directly met the JLA or Avengers".
The challenge is lost once the core paths are taken.
Additional restrictions should be placed on these challenges to prevent certain obvious characters or issues from being used.
I'd like to see restrictions on these proposals beyond shortest.
For example: Cannot use JLA/Avengers, Cannot use War of the Independents, Cannot use Superman, Cannot use Thing.
One of my favorite challenges here was the recent "He-Man to Abslom Daak", and sure it used the appearance of Superman, but while it could have gone JLA/Avengers, the submitter used Superman/Hulk instead. And I feel that challenge is an excellent example of what I feel is a challenging Six Degrees submission.
It's like using "New York, I Love You" when playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Look it up.
That movie alone destroyed many challenges.
It's the War of The Independents | JLA/Avengers for Kevin Bacon.
Rather than restrictive rules like "Cannot use War of the Independents" I'd rather see mandatory links, which is a variant on the original 6 Degrees game. For instance: Marvel Girl (Jean Grey) to Saturn Girl, but you must pass through Uri Geller.
I don't like fun. Let's make things have a ton of rules to prevent us all from having fun, because it's no fun.
I'm kidding, and I do understand your point, Squashua, but this is just a bit of fun on the internet. It's not like people get cash or prizes, just the satisfaction of having beat out everyone else, and choosing the next challenge.
And I've got to do this.
"Kismet once!
Kismet twice!
C'mon pretty baby
Wait, Ren and Stimpy had an official apperance in Quasar?!
"DC's Ronald Reagan is different from Marvel's Ronald Reagan" We talked about this rule a bit last week but I still don't understand it really.
If famous people were considered connection-eligible in all universes, then you could connect pretty much anyone to anyone just by having the President make an appearance. Famous people would be the only connectors you would ever need. Heck, Barack Obama alone.
Right, but when does the rule not apply? I get that people connected to comics, like Grant Morrison and Roy Thomas would be excepted if they're in comics… but what about Prince William
Anyone who is not approving the use of their likeness. So mostly just politicians and royalty. Oh, and famous dead people. Like Elvis Presley, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Jesus Christ, etc. All those people are considered unique to their own respective comic book universe. So the John F. Kennedy in Before Watchmen: Comedian #1 is different from the John F. Kennedy in Journey into Mystery #96.
I think what the rule is trying to say might be explained by an example:
Say we're connecting Green Goblin to Savage Dragon. Goblin's been in Marvel Comics with Obama, and Obama's been in Savage Dragon comics. But the rule is saying that you can't go from a book with Goblin and Obama to a book with Obama and Dragon, because those Obamas are not in the same universe. You need to find another path.
Or a Prince William in, say, Judge Dredd wouldn't be the same Prince William in Excalibur.
Am I right, Brian?
Ah, wait, now I get it—the solution is that only one company's William is needed in this case since he's an end node—the Excalibur one will do fine.
It is if we wanted to connect Dr. Doom to Obama we don't have to go to the Savage Dragon Obama.
(I was confused since I thought it had to be the Bluewater William specifically.)
Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, that's understandable confusion. That's why you'll see a lot of these bits have a famous person as the end bit, so you don't have to connect to a famous person more than just once.
For what it's worth, I didn't know about the Excalibur version of Prince William, the only one I knew of was Bill Windsor-Jones from "American Flagg". So my original chain that I proposed to Brian was:
1. Ren & Stimpy met Spider-Man in "Ren & Stimpy" #6
2. Spider-Man met Wolverine many times
3. Wolverine met Shi in "Dark Night of Judgment"
4. Shi met Badger in "War of the Independents"
5. Badger met Luther Ironheart in "Crossroads" #3
6. Luther Ironheart met Bill Windsor-Jones in "American Flagg" #8
Which was a very clever solution, Michael!

Relay networks have received considerable attention recently, especially when limited size and power resources impose constraints on the number of antennas within a wireless sensor network. In this context, signal processing techniques play a fundamental role, and optimality within a given relay architecture can be achieved under several design criteria. In this paper, we extend recent optimal minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) and SNR designs of relay networks to the corresponding multiple- input-multiple-output (MIMO) scenarios, whereby the source, relays and destination comprise multiple antennas. We shall investigate maximum SNR solutions subject to power constraints and zero-forcing (ZF) criteria, as well as approximate MMSE equalizers with specified target SNR and global power constraint.

Samantha Power, Director of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights of the National Security Council in the Obama administration, David Pressman, Director for war crimes atrocities and civilian protection of the US National Security Council, and Ms. Patricia A Butenis, Ambassador of the US in Sri Lanka, met with Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapakse on June 15.
Dr. Power won a Pulitzer for "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide," her book about America's response to genocide. In the book she argues that American foreign policy in this area has failed; we promised "never again" after the Holocaust but wilfully ignored genocides in Cambodia, Iraq, Bosnia, and Rwanda. She was a key player in starting the Save Darfur movement.
Dr. Power, an academic with expertise in genocide, has been conspicuously silent until now on foreign policy matters. Observers attribute the silence to her marriage and the onset of pregnancy during the critical period when mass slaughter is alleged to have taken place in Sri Lanka in early 2009.
However, a spokesperson for the US-based activist group Tamils Against Genocide (TAG) told TamilNet last month, "the visit of Samantha Power and Mr Pressman to Sri Lanka amidst increasing calls by international community for war crimes investigations in Sri Lanka is very significant."
Dr. Power has been an outspoken critic of the western institutions and the past US Governments for inaction and empty rhetoric against rights violations and crimes amounting to genocide, crimes very similar to what Sri Lanka has allegedly committed against Tamil civilians, TAG said.
"Unlike politically motivated visits taken by UN Officials, this visit [by Dr. Power] should be seen as a serious development inside the US administration on its internal war-crimes investigations. Also, Tamil expatriates are waiting to see if Power lives by her words in Problem from Hell, or has herself succumbed to the force of political expediency."
Dr. Power's book, titled "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide" was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction, the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award for general nonfiction, and the Council on Foreign Relations' Arthur Ross Prize for the best book in U.S. foreign policy.
The US Embassy in Colombo issued a short statement, titled "Senior White House Officials Visiting Sri Lanka." It stated:
"Two senior foreign policy advisors to President Obama are visiting Sri Lanka from June 14-18. Samantha Power, Special Assistant to the President on Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights and David Pressman, National Security Council Director for War Crimes and Atrocities, will meet with senior government officials and members of civil society in Colombo, Jaffna, and Batticaloa. The visit aims to continue last month's productive dialogue between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris, in which both leaders discussed Sri Lanka's path through economic renewal, accountability, and reconciliation to greater peace, prosperity, and a stronger partnership with the United States."
President Rajapakse's office meanwhile claimed of the US officials meeting: "The meeting was cordial and friendly and both sides discussed matters of mutual interest."
Sri Lankan troops oversaw two charitable ceremonies last week, where school items were donated to Tamil children in the Kondavil region in Jaffna.
Unemployed Tamil graduates from across the Northern Province protested against the lack of e government jobs available to them on Saturday.
Senior Sri Lankan defence officials visited the North on Sunday to examine army led resettlement projects.
The events of Black July in 1983, where thousands of Tamils were killed by Sri Lankan government backed mobs, must be investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice, said Together Against Genocide (TAG).

Centre of mass of a system cannot change its state of motion, unless there is an external force acting on it. Yet the internal force of brakes can bring a car to rest. Then what stops the car?
It appears that you are only considering the system consisting of the vehicle, i.e. car+wheels+brakes, as @user31782 has pointed out. Examining only this system, there is no way for the car to stop: it is traveling through space at a certain speed, and that speed is independent of the spinning wheels; if you apply the brakes the wheels stop spinning (and transfer their angular momentum to the car, sending it into a forward tumble) but the car continues sailing through space. Let's say for the sake of a convention that the car is flying "left" though space, just so we have a direction to talk about.
Along with the car, there is another body to consider: a planet under the car, which is also flying "left" through space at the same speed as the car. This planet is also spinning and is held close to the car by the car's gravity, so that the surface of the planet is pressed against the bottom of the wheels. However, the planet is spinning at just the right speed so that the surface of the planet is traveling "right" through space at the same tangential speed as the bottoms of the wheels are traveling "right" through space. (Remember that since the axle of the wheels is attached to the body of the car, the axle and car travel at the same speed; and because the wheels are spinning, the top of the wheel is traveling forward faster than the car and the bottom of the wheel travels forward slower than the car, i.e. is traveling "backward" with respect to the car.) Because the planetary surface and the wheel bottom are traveling in the same direction at the same speed, there is no friction between them and thus no forces. The car continues to travel at the same speed in the same direction.
Now you press the brake pedal and stop the wheels from spinning. Because the wheels and brakes are part of the same system as the car, stopping the wheels doesn't change the speed of the car (though it would transfer the angular momentum from the wheels into the car, but we'll ignore that here). This realization is why you ask what stops the car: the brakes are part of the system, so they can't effect the speed of the system.
BUT: The surface of the planet (which is not part of the system) is still spinning; furthermore, because it is spinning against the stopped wheels, and pressed to them by gravity, there is now friction between the surface of the planet and the car. The car is traveling "left" through space, but the surface of the planet is traveling "right" through space with respect to the car; so the friction between the wheels and the planet will also push the car to the "right," slowing and eventually stopping it in place on the surface of the planet.
In other (fewer) words, while the friction between the wheels and brakes is an internal force that does not affect the speed of the car, the friction between the ground and the wheels is an external force and does affect the speed of the car.
Friction. The wheels are one system, the brakes are another. Relative motion between the wheels and the brakes is what causes friction, and this reduces the angular speed of the wheels. A reduction in the angular speed of the wheels requires the car to slow down too, assuming the wheels don't slip.
I would treat the car and the Earth together as a system. No internal forces can change the momentum of that system. However, the brakes can change the relative motion of two parts of that system - stopping the motion of the car with respect to the Earth.

The other day I was looking around for an example of how to do digest authentication in Google Apps Script (or even plain javascript). I found plenty of theoretical discussions on it, but no actual examples. So here's an implementation walkthrough and code.

A bunch of different graphistas have pointed out to me in recent months that there is something funny about Graphs and email. Specifically, about graphs and email analysis. From my work in previous years at security companies, I know that Email Forensics is actually big business. Figuring out who emails whom, about what topics, with what frequency, at what times - is important. Especially when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan and fraud comes to light - like in the Enron case. How do I get insight into email traffic? How do I know what was communicated to who? And how do I get that insight, without spending a true fortune?

|Roman Catholic[2]
Joseph P. Cryan[2] (born September 1, 1961, East Orange, New Jersey) is an American Democratic Party politician, who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 2002 to 2015, where he represented the 20th Legislative District. He was the Majority Leader of the New Jersey General Assembly, serving from January 12, 2010 until January 10, 2012.
Cryan served as the Assembly's Deputy Majority Leader 2006-2010, and was Assistant Majority Leader from 2004 to 2005. He served on the Human Services Committee and the Law and Public Safety Committee.[1]
Cryan has served on the New Jersey State Democratic Committee since 2002, as Vice Chair. On February 17, 2006, Mr. Cryan was selected to be the head of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee, succeeding Bonnie Watson Coleman. He stepped down after the selection of his successor John S. Wisniewski on January 27, 2010.[3]
In 1996, Cryan was elected as the Township of Union's Democratic Municipal Chairman. He is an Undersheriff with the Union County Sheriff's Office.
Cryan was born on September 1, 1961, in East Orange, the son of John Cryan, an immigrant to the United States from County Roscommon, Ireland, who would later be elected to the General Assembly and served as Sheriff of Essex County.[4]
Other relatives involved in public life are his cousin, Morristown Councilman John Cryan,[5] his sister, Union Township Municipal Clerk Eileen Birch, and his brother-in-law Superior Court judge Joseph Donohue.
Cryan graduated with a B.A. from Belmont Abbey College in Business Administration[1] in 1983.[2] Cryan was born in East Orange, and currently resides in Union Township.[2]
The New York Post reported that Cryan "graphically spelled out his kinky proclivities in more than 150 e-mails that he sent to" a former lobbyist for Prudential Financial who pleaded guilty to stalking his girlfriend in exchange for being allowed to participate in a pre-trial intervention program.[6] "The e-mails were written when the pol presumably would have been at one of his government jobs — either his $49,000-a-year Assembly gig or his $111,000-a-year post as Union County undersheriff," the Post said.
Democratic state chairman[edit]
As Democratic state chairman, in November 2009, Assemblyman Cryan presided over a Democratic gubernatorial party loss by incumbent Jon Corzine to Republican Chris Christie.[7] He was replaced as state chairman in January 2010 by Assemblyman John Wisniewski.
District 20[edit]
Each of the forty districts in the New Jersey Legislature has one representative in the New Jersey Senate and two members in the New Jersey General Assembly. The other representatives from the 20th District for the 2010-2011 Legislative Session are:

John Cryan, a former Essex County Sheriff and Assemblyman, who was born in County Roscommon, Ireland, passed away last month. He was 75. Cryan immigrated to America and Essex County in the late 1940s... During the Irish Heritage Celebration, Assemblyman Joe Cryan (D-Union), a witty storyteller, remembered his dad as a loving father, husband and civic leader.

Corzine carried Union County — but just barely. Democratic Committee Chairwoman Charlotte DeFilippo said her organization delivered. "I think if you look statewide, we did very well for the governor. We did our job," she said. But the numbers show turnout there was less than memorable. More than 10,000 fewer voters went to the polls in Union County on Tuesday, compared to the 2005 governor's race. Corzine received 77,982 votes in that election and only 64,759 votes on Tuesday."

I had this for breakfast this morning minus the dates(that would make it really heavy and too much to have in the morning for me). I did not have cocoa powder on hand, so I used Nestle's Nesquik's chocolate powder as a substitute which worked very well. I did not use any brown sugar either at the end as it was sweet enough for me. Served hot this is DELICIOUS! I am so thrilled to have this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
I love this concept, though I modified it heavily. I used dried apricots (that I chopped and dredged in cocoa powder), added some splenda, and used fast cooking oats (not instant). I also sprinkled some extra splenda on top. It was chocolatey and filling. Nice for a cold winter morning. Thanks!
I often have oatmeal or oat bran with cocoa, but have not tried adding dates. Wonderful morning pick me up
I really wanted to like this... really... but it was just kind of weird. I found that the dates didn't really dissolve very much, and I kept biting into bits of date skin which was just...weird. The dates did make this a bit more gooey than normal oatmeal, which I didn't really care for. I found that this was really, really not sweet. I added 6 dates for a half recipe, hoping that would sweeten this up, but it didn't really. I added a tsp of sucanat when serving, but it still tasted strange to me. I just wasn't keen on the flavor of this (I guess maybe I don't like the combination of the flavor of dates with chocolate?) nor the texture. Sorry, Jenny... but this one just wasn't for me.

The Peer Mediation team at Austin Middle School recently had its second-semester Newcomer's Party for students new to the school.
The group has conducted the welcome parties for about a dozen years. Parties have a theme, games, candy and prizes as a way for students to meet one another. Counselors and Principal David Vincent spoke to students about being successful, how to feel included, not be alone or isolated, and to have fun, said sponsor Karen Garrett.
The Peer Mediation team seeks to help students solve their problems with each other instead of fighting it out. When not involved in mediations, the group stays busy with projects such as maintaining the school Klothing Kloset, being hosts for the school's open house, service projects for the community, and helping out with various projects in and around campus.
Peer Mediation team includes: Maryssa Aldape, Amber Bray, Eddie Chacon, Savanah Clark, Kelsey Gabel, Jessica Glear, Jentry Haskins, Mary Johnson, Onecia King, Kendayl Kirkland, Coley Parkder, Elizabeth Reece, Kaitlin Sims, Jacob Smiddy, Skyla Taylor, Carly Tellman, Kirston Weddle and Brittney Williams.

The Birth-Mark
|This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's personal feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (February 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"The Birth-Mark" is a romantic short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne that examines obsession with human perfection. It was first published in the March 1843 edition of The Pioneer. It later appeared in Mosses from an Old Manse, a collection of short stories by Hawthorne published in 1846.
Plot summary[edit]
Aylmer is a brilliant and recognized scientist and philosopher who has dropped his focus from his career and experiments to marry the beautiful Georgiana (who is physically perfect except for a small red birthmark in the shape of a hand on her cheek).
As the story progresses, Aylmer becomes unnaturally obsessed with the birthmark on Georgiana's cheek. One night, he dreams of cutting the birthmark out of his wife's cheek (removing it like scraping the skin from an apple) and then continuing all the way to her heart. He does not remember this dream until Georgiana asks about what his sleep-talking meant. When Aylmer remembers the details of his dream, Georgiana declares that she would risk her life having the birthmark removed from her cheek rather than to continue to endure Aylmer's horror and distress that comes upon him when he sees her.
The following day, Aylmer deliberates upon and then decides to take Georgiana to the apartments where he keeps a laboratory. He glances at Georgiana casually and normally but can't help but shudder violently at seeing her imperfection; Aylmer's reaction causes her to faint. When she awakens, he treats her warmly and comforts her with some of his scientific concoctions but when he attempts to take a portrait of her, the image is blurred save for her birthmark revealing the disgust he has of it.
He experiments some more and describes some of the successes to her but as he questions how she is feeling, Georgiana begins to suspect that Aylmer has been experimenting on her the entire time without her knowledge and consent. Aylmer catches her investigating, and accuses her of spying on him in the laboratory, and potentially damaging his valuable and delicate instruments. They argue briefly but not intensely. Georgiana then agrees to drink a potion Aylmer has concocted for her despite his warning that it might be dangerous to do so and may carry unexpected side effects.
Soon after, he brings her the potion and the potion is proven to be effective, in some respects, by rejuvenating a nearby plant with but a few drops. Upon seeing this and trusting her distressed husband, Georgiana drinks the concocted potion and promptly falls asleep. Aylmer watches the birthmark fade little by little. Once it is nearly gone, Georgiana wakes up and is pleased (like Aylmer) to see the results. However, the potion had side effects, and Georgiana soon tells her husband that she is slowly dying. Once the birthmark fades completely, Georgiana dies with it.
Like many of the tales Hawthorne wrote during his time living in The Old Manse, "The Birth-Mark" discusses the psychological impact in sexual relations.[1] The birthmark does not become an issue to Aylmer until after the marriage, which he suddenly sees as sexual: "now vaguely portrayed, now lost, now stealing forth again, and glimmering to-and-fro with every pulse of emotion."[2] Written shortly after Hawthorne married Sophia Peabody, the story emphasizes the husband's sexual guilt disguised as superficial cosmetology.[3] Some critics contend that the theme of the story is that human perfection can only be achieved in death, (and is therefore unattainable), in that the trademark foreshadowing occurred during Aylmer's dream of cutting out the mark, in which he discovers the birthmark is connected to Georgiana's heart, (which he elects to cut out as well in his attempt to remove the birthmark). Other critics, like Stephen Youra, suggest that, to Aylmer, the birthmark represents the flaws within the human race—which includes "original sin," which "woman has cast men into"—and because of this, elects it as the symbol of his wife's "liability to sin, sorrow, decay, and death."[4] Others suggest we view the story "as a story of failure rather than as the success story it really is — the demonstration of how to murder your wife and get away with it."[5]
Hawthorne may have been criticizing the epoch of reform in which he was living, and specifically calling attempts at reform ineffective and the reformers dangerous.[6] Other critics read the story as a critique of 19th-century positivist science (positivism), with Hawthorne situating the woman as nature and representing science as attempting to penetrate her/its secrets while ultimately destroying the object of research. Still others see it as a defense of vitalism against materialism – that one cannot find the essence or soul in mute bodily matter.[citation needed]
The story is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Oval Portrait."[7]
Character analysis[edit]
Aylmer is a scientist and husband to Georgiana. Robert B. Heilman suggests that Aylmer has taken science as his religion and that Aylmer's views on "the best that the Earth could offer" (Hawthorne, 130) is "inadequate."[8] Heilman goes on to suggest that "the mistake Aylmer makes" is the "critical problem" with the story, in that he has "apotheosized science."[9]
Georgiana is the wife of Aylmer and, as Sarah Bird Wright puts it, the "doomed heroine"[10] of the story. Georgiana agrees to allow Aylmer to experiment on her in an attempt to remove her birthmark—which turns out to be a fatal decision. Wright quotes Millicent Bell's thoughts on Georgiana's final words by saying they are "indicative of Hawthorne's struggle with romanticism…he yearns to depict life as found."[11]
Aminadab, Aylmer's laboratory assistant, is described as being short and bulky with a shaggy appearance. Wright refers to Nancy Bunge's observation that "because Aminadab possesses vast physical strength and 'earthiness' he undertakes to perform unpleasant tasks in order to free Aylmer to 'cultivate delusions of transcendence'."[12] Judith Fetterley suggests that "Aminadab symbolizes the earthly, physical, erotic self that has been split apart from Aylmer."[13]

The birthmark represents various things throughout the story. Two of the main representations are imperfection and mortality. Georgiana is human and mortal because of the one imperfection on her left cheek. The birthmark can also symbolize death. No one is perfect, and no one can escape death; it is a normal part of life. The birthmark portrays Nathaniel Hawthorne's belief that human imperfection cannot be separated from our humanity. The text reads, "The crimson hand expressed the ineludible gripe in which mortality clutches the highest and purest of earthly mould, degrading them into kindred with the lowest, and even with the very brutes, like whom their visible frames return to dust. In this manner, selecting it as the symbol of his wife's liability to sin, sorrow, decay, and death, Aylmer's sombre imagination was not long in rendering the birth-mark a frightful object..."[citation needed] It is in human nature to be imperfect.
The shape of the birthmark is representative of the hand of God. The color of the birthmark is red, representing passion and sexuality. The control that Aylmer desires to have over the birthmark on his wife's face also represents the power of her sexuality and his lack of control around her. Aylmer is seen as foolish because he tries to compete with nature to fix an imperfection that ultimately causes death.[clarification needed] Perfection is not attainable except through the spirit in death, which makes it physically impossible to achieve. Although humans know they are imperfect and mortal, there continues to be a part that strives for immortality and perfection.

Aylmer's pursuit of perfection is both tragic and allegorical. He refuses "the best that nature has to offer," instead obsessing over his wife's singular physical "flaw." This pursuit is Aylmer's destruction. His discontent with his wife's birthmark ruins the most perfect thing in his life. The irony of Aylmer's obsession and pursuit is that he was a man whose "most splendid successes were almost invariably failures." Rather than obsessing over correcting his failures, he quickly forgets them. Similarly, instead of obsessing over Georgiana's splendid beauty, he quickly forgets it. That a man of so many failures would be trying to perfect someone else is both ironic and allegorical. This type of story has biblical symmetry to Jesus's "Sermon on the Mount." In Matthew 7:3, Christ is quoted as saying, "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" This similarity cannot be overlooked and can be analyzed as an indictment of the remnants of Puritan culture in New England at the time. Rather than focusing on their own failures, they instead made a life of pointing out the mistakes and flaws of others, regardless of whether they truly existed. The "Birth-Mark" is a morality tale and indictment of Puritan culture. Aylmer's unyielding pursuit to remove the one "flaw" from Georgiana shows his own blindness of conscience. Similarly, Puritans believed they had to separate from everything and everyone that believed things contrary to their beliefs.[14]

Echo SRM-225 won't start
It was new last season... used 2-3 times last season with a 50:1 mix of fresh fuel that had been treated with stabil. After each use I would drain the fuel from the tank and let it run until it would die.
This season it doesn't want to start...
- Set Run/Stop switch to Run
- Set Choke to "Start"
- Primer bulb until filled, then another 4-5 pumps
My first attempt I made a mistake, I didn't hold down the throttle while pulling, this was about a dozen pulls...
Then I remembered the throttle... did another two dozen pulls... no start.
Pulled the plug, appeared wet... I flooded it. While the plug is out, I double check and see that I am getting blue spark on the plug. I wait 15 mins w/ the plug out, give it a spritz of starting fluid while the plug is out... try again..... a dozen pulls nothing, plug it wet again... so wet that it's closing the gap.
What am I doing wrong, or what could be wrong?
BTW, air cleaner is pristine, and I've even tried starting w/ the cover off...
Also tried a dozen pulls w/ throttle closed and choke set to Run, which I thought might help clear the flood.
Do you have the stop switch in the start position??
Try priming until full, then only one more.
Make sure the Choke is set, and the throttle is open
I also mentioned that I am getting a spark, if the switch were not working I would not get spark.
As of tonight I am still not able to start the bloody thing... fresh gas... checked the plug again, I even cleaned and re-gapped it (the thing is basically perfect, no corrosion, etc).
Tomorrow I will try one last thing---give it a shot of ether directly into the plug hole w/o priming or doing anything else... if I can't get it to at least SPUTTER from doing that, then I'm going to call this thing dead and assuming something internal has failed.
I just hope that either Echo or Home Depot will provide the repair or replacement w/o hassling me.
It has a 5 year warrenty,so just take it to an approved repair facility with a receipt of purchase and have them fix it.
I would check to make sure the choke is closing completely. Just pull off the air cleaner & filters, and ensure that the choke is operating fully. I had this issue this spring with my 210, and it wouldn't start no matter what I tried. Clearing the choke linkage did the trick.
As for the ether, I wouldn't suggest using it anymore. It's extremely hard on small two-stroke cylinders......
I posted here about a million years ago with a no-start issue with the trimmer.
I notice the thread comes up with google search, but the solution was never put in the thread, so I want to do it for future searchers with the same problem--
This is the start-up process that works--it is NOT the same as what's in the manual:
1) Prime until you see gas, no air pockets, in the return fuel line
2) Prime another 4-5X
3) Set Run/Stop switch to RUN
4) Set Choke lever to START
6) Pull cord 1-5X until you hear it stumble
7) Immediately set Choke lever to RUN
8) If engine dies, pull cord again 1-5X
Once running you may need to fiddle with the choke for the first few moments to keep it running, but ultimately need to end up in RUN. Goose the throttle a bit to get it going, then it should idle without any throttle.
This has worked for me multiple times. If you watch the youtube videos of people doing "cold starts" you will see this what they all do, even if they don't always narrate it quite the same.
The manual tells you to put the throttle on full, that seems wrong and never worked for me over an entire summer of failed start attempts.
The manual also does not indicate that once you get a "stumble" out of it you should quickly switch Choke to RUN and pull some more.
I was ready to throw this trimmer in a junk pile I was so fed up with it not starting... I had put in new gas, new plug, etc... tried to start it at least half a dozen times on as many occasions and never got it going until after watching the way the youtube guys were doing it.
Well,i have the same machine and my starting sequence is set choke to start, push primer bulb 6 times,pull starter 3 times max with throttle depressed,if no start move choke to run, pull starter once and it always starts.
starting problem
check that the flywheel and clutch haven't come loose we had same problem with echo gt 225 and checked everything or so we thought and were about to give up and chuck in river when we began a dismantle reassembly of it and found that clutch and flywheel were loose. tightened up and now runs fine this is a defect or lack of care from factory. :furious:
and yes we did all recommended checks and replacements. this was problem nothing else.
Not satisfied with the Echo. First year it ran okay. The next year it wouldn't start, I was going take it back for service, but then it finally started after a few weeks, and ran the rest of the summer. Last year started right up and ran okay. This year it started right up, but just chugged along. It shut off and wouldn't start. If I shoot ether in it, it will run a second. Primer bubble works fine. So I pulled the carburetor off took it apart and soaked it in carburetor cleaner. Put back together and it acted the same. I will try your start procedure tomorrow but I don't have any faith, but I sure hope it will start.
In the meantime I have been using a Bolens BL001, that I paid $59.00. Starts every year and runs like a charm. It is just too small for all the trimming I need to do. The only maintenance on the Bolens is crumbled fuel line.
Have you changed the fuel filter?

Wale tweeted out this new cut today, which may or may not be included on MMG's Self Made Vol. One LP.
LISTEN: Wale – "4 AM" (feat. Black Cobain)
via: RF
one of the few tracks ive heard from mmg lately that i liked.. nice to see wale maintainin his sound on his own track.. wasnt really feeling him on all those rick ross tracks
Dope track, but because it's dope I don't think it'll be on the MMG compilation, this track has a nice beat and nice lyrics. If I heard this on the album it would make the other tracks that i have heard so far from MMG sound even worse.
ya thats wat i emant
i always feel like im hatin wit the mmg stuff but honestly not 1 track has been good in my book.. i keep givin em a chance but it hasnt come around yet
Gald to hear a quality track from this cat. Why the hell he decided to roll with Bawse and his goons never made any sense to me… He had so much potential and threw it away to make gangsta music with fake-ass thugs… A true shame…

There is every reason to applaud this new book, which fills a void in the literature of rheumatology. Many rheumatic conditions affect only synovial structures including bursae, tendon sheaths, and musculotendinous structures. This book is a compendium of nonarticular rheumatic disorders. Soft tissue rheumatism has been described as the "great outback of rheumatology, a vast frontier land, ill-defined and little explored. . . .", yet painful back problems, shoulder disorders, and fibrositis crowd the physician's office schedule. Furthermore these disorders are one of the leading causes of time lost from work, and a major reason for disability payments.

Is there anything lovelier than discovering a really talented, even famous writer by chance? That just happened to me with the British novelist Leon Garfield. As I browsed a local children's bookstore, my eye was attracted to a cover, and then a stunning first sentence. I bought. I read. I read more. And then, as it happens, I heard about the jubilation in the children's book community: Garfield is back in print!
Although he wrote in the 1960s, Garfield's eighteenth- and nineteenth-century settings, and his plots charting the intersection of England's poor and her rising middle class, have made comparisons with Dickens inevitable. But not entirely helpful: the talents are different. Garfield is a master of terse telling. And of fantastically strained metaphors. In him the architectural structures of eighteenth-century literature blend well with the Romantic hyperbole of the nineteenth. Garfield's vision is moral, shaped by the questions of the age in which he lived.
Of the four novels republished this year, start with Smith (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, paper $6.95, 195 pp., ages 9 and up) whose title character is a young London pickpocket. The book opens with Smith's capable pursuit of a disoriented country gentleman. Moments after he snatches the wallet, the old man is murdered. Concealed in the shadows, but not unobserved, Smith lingers long enough to learn that this is not a random killing: the...

Speculators Cleared in U.K. Oil Volatility
Britain's financial regulator has found no evidence that speculators are behind big swings in oil prices, as politicians in the U.S., the U.K. and elsewhere have suggested, according to people familiar with the matter.
Like other regulators around the world, the U.K.'s Financial Services Authority, which monitors all of the country's markets, has been examining whether speculation has driven big price changes in oil in recent months. The FSA is leaning toward the conclusion that recent volatility and price increases have more to do with uncertainty over economic growth than speculation, people familiar with the matter say.
The FSA's conclusions come as the U.S. commodities watchdog appears to be on track to smack down what it sees as "excessive speculation." The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has recently proposed a sweeping package of reforms to ensure the "fair, open and efficient functioning of futures markets," including more reporting requirements for hedge funds, application of caps on energy investors and elimination of existing waivers.
On Tuesday, the CFTC will hold its first public hearing in Washington to discuss various solutions to regulate energy markets. A second hearing is scheduled for Wednesday with the focus on so-called hedge exemptions that banks are granted when managing commodity portfolios for index funds and commercial players.
"Our hearings...will be critical as we look into different approaches to regulate energy markets," said Gary Gensler, chairman of the CFTC, in a release.
The U.K.'s FSA has no jurisdiction over U.S. markets. It regulates ICE Futures Europe, one of the largest global energy exchanges, which is based in London.
One person familiar with the matter said the FSA had seen no evidence to suggest that speculators are driving up the price of oil.
"More than they ever were before, [investors] are looking to the global economic climate and nobody is sure on that, and that is perhaps driving the volatility," he said.
Given that view, the FSA doesn't believe that limiting the size of trading positions would be "beneficial" for the market, said a person familiar with the matter. Still, the FSA acknowledges it doesn't have a "full explanation" as to why the market has moved the way it has, said a person familiar with the matter.
The FSA's conclusion contradicts British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who has linked the recent rises in oil to speculation.
"Where there has been unfair speculation or abuse of the market, then we would be prepared to act," said Mr. Brown in a recent briefing with a group of journalists.

Politicians around the world are worried about the effect of rising oil prices on the recovery potential of their recession-hit economies. World leaders from French President Nicolas Sarkozy to the leaders of Asia's biggest oil-consuming nations have tied these rises to oil speculators. In the U.S., Sen. Byron Dorgan (D., N.D.) has called on the CFTC, the main U.S. futures-market regulator, to curb "oil speculators looking for a quick buck at the expense of American consumers."
While much of the trade in oil futures is carried out by companies such as airlines and utilities, to hedge their exposure to price swings, noncommercial traders such as hedge funds and investment banks playing these markets have poured money into them in recent years. These traders say they provide market liquidity for companies to cover their exposure. Placing limits on them, they argue, would make trading more difficult and expensive and drive them away from energy markets.
Such investors typically put their money in indexes that track the value of futures contracts, in which investors promise to pay a certain amount in the future for oil and other commodities. As of July 2008, financial investors had about $300 billion riding on such indexes, roughly four times the level in January 2006, according to the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based watchdog.
