Pilot reported to neighbors he was "flying on 1 engine for almost 100 miles" (inbound miramar from a carrier). Tried to set it down in a barren grass area, didn't quite make it. 3 on ground confirmed dead; 1 missing assumed dead. Same house same family. Pilot ok (physically)

Apparently the aircraft was returning to MCAS Miramar due to engine failure at the carrier. While the FA/18 was passing just south of NAS North Island (NZY) the remaining engine began to have problems. The approach controller offered the pilot an approach to NZY that would have kept the aircraft OVER WATER the entire time. The pilot pressed on for Miramar with very tragic results. This was a very bad call by the pilot, and poor decision making by squadron personnel involved during the emergency.
No engines= no hydraulics= no control..... KEEP THE AIRCRAFT OVER WATER!!

This was sent to me via e mail today and entitled....."Someone made a truly
Horse.... decision. You never pass up a good field with only one left burning"..
From a fellow F18 pilot in the know on this crash... The story is the pilot lost the
first engine while doing Carrier ops off the coast. Since he was fairly new to the
airplane, ships ops decided to send him to North Island (rather than bring him back
onboard the ship). On approach to North Island, he decided he had enough fuel and broke
it off to go to Miramar instead because they had "better maintenance". The
pilot kept it dirty because it was thought (in discussion with others) that to keep it
dirty would not overwork the remaining Hydraulic pump. On final to Miramar the second
engine overheated and rolled down. Apparently the engine(s) have an overheat protection
that will automatically shut the engine down. He rode it down to 400-!
600 feet and ejected (and killed four people).
When this becomes public (and it will) that the pilot actually was on approach to
North Island and left that approach to go overland and over houses/people to Miramar
instead, it will not be good for a lot of people involved...not just the pilot. My
source is on site and involved.

I'm not saying that the pilot was right in making his decision to go to Miramar (if this is actually true), but what would've happened if he didn't go to Miramar? Would some superior be on his rear end about not flying to Miramar? Unfortunately, things like that do happen.

I'm sorry but that doesn't make any sense. And I think people are just starting to speculate and play armchair pilot.
Does anyone know where the carrier was? Obviously it couldn't have been 100 miles south of Point Loma, that would put it in Mexican waters. More then likely it was further west of San Clemente. Shortest distance would be to come inland over La Jolla to Miramar anyways. Added that it was a Marine F-18, I can understand why they would have wanted it at their MX base.
If aircraft was JSO North Island, that would have put it either down in Chula Visa/Coronado.
Overheat protection where the engine will automatically shut down? Don't know about that one, Even Comercial jet's won't shut down an engine automatically (pilot still has to manually pull the fire handles)
Why don't we wait and see what the offical accident report says before we start speculating?

Safety procedures not followed before fatal jet crash, Marines say
"The Marine jet crash that killed four people in University City on Dec. 8 could have been prevented if the pilot and officers on the ground had followed safety procedures, and if the Marine Corps had stopped flying the plane after noting a fuel problem months earlier, said people who were briefed by the Marine Corps on Tuesday."
"Senior officers communicating with the pilot, as well as the pilot himself, did not consult their checklist and follow appropriate procedures that could have prevented the incident altogether,"
Union Tribune - San Diego
story and links to ATC audio clips here:
Marine Corps punishes 13 for San Diego jet crash
"Four officers at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar near San Diego have been relieved of duty for directing the F/A-18D Hornet to fly over the residential area, the officials said. Nine other military personnel received lesser reprimands. With his jet having engine problems, the pilot should have been told to fly over San Diego Bay and land at another base that sits on the tip of a peninsula, the officials said.
The Marine Corps has not decided whether to discipline the pilot, who ejected safely, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told The Associated Press.
"He probably won't fly anymore," said Hunter, a Marine veteran."

You could probably count on one hand the number of countries in the world whose military would have reached such a thorough and unbiased conclusion to an incident such as this and done so in such an open (i.e. public) and expeditious

I worked an emergency F-18 that had a fuel transfer malfunction. The plane was at about FL270 and the nearest airport was a civilian airport about 30mi behind him. He diverted there and put it on the ground as quickly as I've seen anyone from that high and close to an airport. After I gave him a descent I barely had enough to time to read the most recent wx obs to him before I needed to change to the tower freq. The military base he was operating from was only about 80 mi away and he could have approached it completely over water. I don't have a lot of experience with 18's so I didn't know at the time how serious a problem it was. I don't know how long my pilot knew about the problem but it couldn't have been long. As soon as he told me about it he knew exactly what he wanted to do. It's sad that pilot nor the people on the ground he consulted didn't make the same kind of decision the pilot in the plane was working did.

Report: Accident Pilot Followed Orders To Continue To Miramar
"While the heavily-redacted report -- obtained by The Los Angeles Times under the US Freedom of Information Act -- offers few new details beyond what the Corps has previously released, it does reveal the young trainee pilot followed orders from superior officers to overfly dense residential development to try and make it to Miramar, when he passed up a closer available runway with an approach over open water at North Island Naval Air Station.
The Corps has since relieved four officers of duty, a sanction which could end their careers. Still, Lieutenant Dan Neubauer -- who was identified in local media reports but not in the report -- is criticized in the USMC report for "...an unacceptable lack of assertiveness even given his lack of experience," for not questioning the orders to proceed to Miramar."

ATC audio here:
Thanks for posting this, Laylow.
By all accounts, it appears as though 225 was cleared for the visual on 06 and was last instructed to down to 2,000. He was executing a left-turn in the clouds while at the same time, civilian control instructed a right-hand turn to 060 to 080 [it varied about two times in rapid succession]. 225 knew that there were clouds and asked for vectors to align with 06 at Miramar. 225 confirmed that he had the
runway in sight
but a split second later somebody calls in to confirm "smoke" at 2 miles short of the runway.
I'm not so sure anymore that this was merely a second engine out problem. Prior to 225's verbal confirmation that he had 060 in sight, he made no mention of an immanent engine problem. 225's last mention of a "possible" remaining engine problem came much earlier in the ATC transmission - he never mentions it after that as being something that he felt would be causal of him not making the runway.
He was also conscious and aware of his aircraft's energy status, as he refused to begin his descent when control initially instructed a descent down to 4,000 ft. He refused twice and then began his descent on his own while control fed him vectors. But, at some point he ended up at 2,000 on his own in the clouds(?) I'm still not sure why 225 did this [we were not there, of course], but this placed him 2,000 ft lower than control was expecting initially. Right after that, 225 confirms visual on 060 and then a split second after that, "smoke" was called by someone else short of the active at 2 miles.
Now, I know I'm not a pilot yet and I am still very green, but hearing this audio puts things in a different light for me. It sounds like 225 penetrated the clouds and went "too low" initially to make 060 on the visual. If there was a second engine failure, he simply did not have the altitude to deal with it in time. According to the Naval Aviation Safety Center, the F-18 has a four channel, dual computer control-by-wire with hydraulic boost control flight system, that has had problems before within certain engine out scenarios and when pilots failed to run the FCS I-Bit test as a normal part of the engine start-up procs routine. It does not sound like an I-Bit problem, but who knows.
As far as the F404 shutting itself down automatically is concerned, that's not something I've read in any specification on the F404. From what I've read in the past, the F404 is fairly resistant to compressor stalls, even at high angles of attack. And, when it does suffer a stall, both the engine and then the afterburners
as a matter of design, not as a course of anything the pilot does. So, the pilot could have a compressor stall and never have to manually restart the engines or light the afterburners [manually].
In a world gone completely insane, one thing sill remains... ... ... Flight! You just, gotta love it!

this was just a colossal mess of errors and poor decision making all the way around. I completely understand that it this is armchair quarterbacking and none of us were there, but the decision not to go to NZY was wrong, and unfortunately dead wrong.
Sadly, not long there after, they had another incident where an F-18 went minimum fuel and had trouble getting back to Miramar at night and initially lined up with MYF to the south (a GA airport) and had to be advised of his error.
Not good times for military flying in SD right now.

Yes. It's an example of how there is a chain of events leading up to the sad accident. Had one link been removed, maybe it would not have happened. But I certainly cannot put myself in anybody's shoes who were involved. I hope I never have to.

I am using an USB-to-parallel port adapter on Windows 7. It was recognized by the system, and everything work fine.
BUT: When I print something on an Epson LQ-1050+ printer, empty lines appear between the printed lines. (As if auto line feed were switched on, or something similar)
On a laser printer for example, printing just works fine. (And no other problems with Epson either, just those additional empty lines.)
Any idea?
Thank you very much,

For noise-robust speech recognition, we incorporated a top-down attention mechanism into a hidden Markov model classifier with Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient features. The attention filter was introduced at the outputs of the Mel-scale filterbank and adjusted to maximize the log-likelihood of the attended features with the attended class. A low-complexity constraint was proposed to prevent the attention filter from over-fitting, and a confidence measure was introduced on the attention. A classification was made to the class with the maximum confidence measure, and demonstrated 54% and 68% reduction of the false recognition rate with 15- and 20-dB signal-to-noise ratio, respectively.

Just Whole Wheat Bread
Total Time
1hr 30mins
Prep 1 hr
Cook 30 mins
Got this from a website named 'all creatures' they've got lots and lots of bread recipies that has no fat, oil, sugar, salt or eggs so it's basically ALL natural. If you're not too fussy about the taste and more concerned about healthy eating - go for this bread! it's very simple. The bread is dense though, but the taste is still ok!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 7 g dry yeast
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup white flour
- 2 cups luke-warm water
- Dissolve the yeast with 1 cup of the water in a large bowl.
- Gradually add the flours while mixing continually.
- Add the remaining water a little at a time while mixing (NOTE: if the dough is stil too dry, add a bit more water).
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes or until it's smooth and not too dry.
- Put it back into the bowl and over it with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm area for 20 minutes or until the dough has doubled.
- Knead the dough again for another 5-10 minutes and put it back and let it rise for 10 minutes (use more flour if the dough becomes sticky).
- Shape the dough into a loaf, a 'cob' or baguettes etc., or alternatively use a breadpan (I usually put baking paper in the pan so no oil is needed).
- Bake at 150 degrees C for approximately 30 minutes, but it might require more or less time depending on you oven.

It's great but next time pay attention on proportions and perspective. On this drawing right eye is a bit up (or the mouth is leaning, I can't tell). I had the same problem but somehow I've learned how to manage with that so you must study that problem. Try to tracing some photography before you start drawing freely.
Also you could add more details on drapery and hand, thinner lines on the nose and sweater. Shadows are fair, hair is good. Background is a bit flat, it doesn't have depth.
I'm not a professional but this is my opinion and I hope that you will learn how to deal with this.

New series of Being Human will feature 'changes'
The cast of BBC Three series Being Human say there will be "a lot of changes" to the show this year.
Lenora Crichlow, who plays Annie, said she has a "real nervousness" about how fans will react to the upcoming fourth series.
"It'll be interesting to see how it goes down with the audience," she told Newsbeat.
"Our fans are so important and so loyal, it's always been nerve-wracking seeing what they think."
She added: "Hopefully they'll take to the changes and they'll stick with us."
But the actress says many of the elements that made show popular are still there.
"It's still definitely Being Human in its essence and the formula and its ethos and the real heart of the show is still there so it's not a complete curve ball."
The 27-year-old says the producers of the show think the new series is the best one to date.
"I've had a couple of text messages from production and directors saying how proud they are of it, it's looking fantastic," she said.
"Every year they say it's the best one yet, so I'm terribly excited to see it. I do have a real nervousness about it, there are a lot of changes this year."
'Intense work'
Being Human is a BBC Three show about three housemates - a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost - who try to live as normal human beings.
Crichlow says she keeps in touch with the other cast members keep when not filming the show.
"Aidan [Turner] is away in New Zealand filming the Hobbit which makes popping out for coffee a bit difficult," she said.
"But Russell [Tovey] and I keep in touch and Sinead [Keenan]... we all keep an eye on each other as much as we can. But work gets so intense and so busy but we had the best three years together.
"We'll always have that so I think whenever we see each other it's like no time has passed."
A prequel to the new series was released online this morning on the show's official website.
The new series of Being Human is due to begin on BBC Three later this year.

The adsorption, separation, and diffusion properties of intergrown silicalite-1 membrane on a pre-seeded porous stainless-steel-net support in ethanol/water mixtures are evaluated. The permeation of ethanol and water as vapors and liquids on the silicalite-1 membrane is investigated. Operando IR spectroscopy combined with mass spectrometry is used to study directly the silicalite-1 membrane supported on the stainless-steel-net in mixtures of ethanol/water with different mass ratios (ethanol/water=0, 5, 25, 50, 75, and 100). It was found that the diffusion coefficients for ethanol and water in the mixture (ethanol/water=50:50) are 0.81×10−10 and 2.2×10−10 cm2 s−1, respectively. The silicalite-1 membrane shows higher ethanol selectivity with an increase of the ethanol content in the reaction mixture. Furthermore, when using the membrane the high selectivity of 19.6 and 39 for the mixtures containing 5 wt % and 50 wt % ethanol is combined with a high flux, which is 11.5 kg m−2 h−1 and 17.1 kg m−2 h−1, respectively. The silicalite-1 membrane with high reproducibility resists cracking and possesses high mechanical stability. In addition, the stainless-steel-net support possesses very high porosity thus leading to an improved permeation flux, and also it is transparent and suitable for quantitative characterization by operando IR spectroscopy. The good performance of the supported silicalite-1 membrane (high separation factor and high flux for ethanol over water) makes it interesting for use in extracting ethanol from aqueous bioethanol system.

Plessy v. Ferguson(1896)
Explanation and Analysis of the Document
Statement of the Case
The case begins with a recitation of the facts of the case and its legal posture. On June 7, 1892, Plessy, the defendant also known as the plaintiff in error, paid for a first-class train ticket on the East Louisiana Railway headed from New Orleans to Covington, Louisiana, and sat down in an empty seat in the railroad car reserved for whites. He was "of seven-eighths Caucasian and one-eighth African blood" and had such a light...

Quick, what jersey number did the Giants issue catcher Mike Matheny in 2005 when he played the first of his two seasons in San Francisco?
How about past-his-prime Eric Davis in a forgettable 2001 season with the Giants or Dustan Mohr in 2004?
If you're a Giants fan of a certain age, there is only one Giant you remember wearing jersey No. 22.
Will Clark.
"The Thrill."
"The Natural."
Clark, who played eight memorable seasons in San Francisco, had an excellent career and garnered some votes for baseball's Hall of Fame.
In 15 seasons, Clark averaged .303, hit 284 home runs and had 1,205 RBIs. He played in six All-Star Games.
Despite those numbers, Giants fans can accept the fact Clark will never have a plaque in Cooperstown, N.Y. But what most fans can't accept is the franchise handing out his No. 22 jersey year after year to players who will never measure up to one of the most popular players in the San Francisco era. In fact, 18 Giants have been issued jersey No. 22 – two this season – since Clark left in 1993.
None, by the way, homered off Nolan Ryan in his first at bat.
Willie Mays and Willie McCovey rank atop the Giants' all-time fan favorites. Although Clark will never have a statue outside AT&T Park, he is arguably just as popular – if not more – than Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal and certainly Barry Bonds. The four Giants legends, excluding Bonds, have statues.
Bonds was a better player than Clark, but Clark was more loved for his enthusiasm and clutch hits. And the only juice Clark ever took came in 12- or 16-ounce frosty cans.
It's understandable that the Giants likely will never officially retire No. 22. But they should at least place jersey No. 22 in the same closet with the Crazy Crab mascot outfit and throw the key into McCovey Cove.
Today's poll
What should the Giants do with jersey No. 22?
Officially retire it.
Store it away for good.
Keep handing it out.

Yes: 48%

The introduction of steroids has presented a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of rheumatic fever. This problem has been the subject of extensive studies over the past few years. The detailed observations made in an effort to evaluate the effect of hormone therapy have resulted in a renewed interest in many aspects of this disease.
In 1955, when a newly synthesized steroid, prednisone, became available, a study was undertaken to test its effectiveness in children with rheumatic fever. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the relative anti-inflammatory potency of this new steroid in rheumatic fever; (2) to determine what proportion of children with rheumatic carditis treated early in their first attack with large amounts of prednisone for a prolonged period would escape permanent cardiac damage; (3) to determine whether extension of steroid therapy to 14 weeks, in contrast to the conventional 6 weeks, would reduce the

Brad Paisley traveled in a slightly different direction for his new album Wheelhouse, writing and recording several songs that addressed social issues, such as "Accidental Racist" and "I Can't Change the World," his latest single.
In this revealing cover story, Brad talks about the inspirations behind those songs and the reactions he's received from them. "This album was all about getting out of the comfort zone," Brad tells Country Weekly.
"These were things I really wanted to say."

I'm hoping that a mixture of new DBD::Oracle and DBI features, possibly a DBD::Oracle::mysql subclass, and a sprinkling of DBIx::AnyDBD will prove sufficient. Combining that with using Oracle's ODBC gateway to make MySQL tables appear live within Oracle should enable a smooth migration without a sharp 'big bang' transition. Of course, all this is just theory at the moment. Tim.

Marvin, well written and accurate!
To start with, I am truly grateful that I can actually talk about the 49ers again after years of mediocrity... I am thankful that we have a fantastic coaching staff, a franchise QB, pass rusher, etc; We have a great team!
Oh, and yea, we also have a great fanbase, which by the way is much larger and has way more class than the Seattle fanbase, but unlike Seattle, we don't count them as a member of the team. Our team are the guys on the field...
Sure, the window is closing or has closed for some of the guys on the team, that is just how this game works and everyone playing and watching knows that. Get over it! Me personally, I would love to have seen FG/JS get rings, and damn straight they deserve it. But... BUT!!! I'm a 9ers fan first and that means, just like Harbaugh, I'm about whatever it takes to win, regardless of who is on the team.
If anything I think the future looks bright for the 49ers. Don't give up hope! Look at last year with Baltimore winning the SB. Anything can happen, and with Kap and Harbaugh I think we have a great chance.

Robin Williams fans gather at 'Mork & Mindy' house on Pine Street in Boulder
BOULDER, Colo. - Fans are leaving flowers, candles and messages outside the 130-year-old house in Boulder made famous by comedian and actor Robin Williams.
The house on Pine Street was depicted as the home of Mork, a space alien, in the 1970s TV show "Mork & Mindy."
Among those stopping by was Colorado Democratic congressman Jared Polis, who watched the show as a child growing up in Boulder. Polis says Williams helped put Boulder on the map.
Boulder native Carrie Walker also went to the house. She says it's a landmark she often takes visitors to see.
Williams was pronounced dead at his California home Monday. Authorities say the preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be suicide. Williams' publicist said the actor was battling severe depression.

Released: Jul 01st, 2005
Running Time: 100
Director: Skeeter Kerkove
Company: Rosebud Productions
Cast: Trinity (I), Benjamin Bratt, Otto Bauer, Sasha (I), Mark Wood, Vanilla Skye, Dave Hardman, Patricia Petite
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
More gaping holes than a Tijuana freeway.
Is Trinity in charge? Of course not, it's the irrepressible Skeeter Kerkove, whose love for ass is insatiable. This time his abilities to maneuver it may have exceeded his passions. Much like another maxed-out hardcore director, who keeps repeating the same old mascara-running/heel-grabbing whore routine, these gals get throat fucked and cornholed with plenty of vigor but little imagination. The first two scenes are virtually identical - despite the fact that four different partners occupy the same space.
Of course, these kind of criticisms might be entirely beside the point to viewers who like their nastiness served in exactly the same manner each time, like dependable ol' Mickey Dees. Trinity receives her fair share of quarter pounders with runny cheese, but for our money, the best snacking occurs with Vanilla Shake (whoops: Skye) and Mark (Hambungler) Wood. Once between her buns, Wood turns up the heat and douses both girls with special sauce that they share via a sticky kiss.

Welcome to the Academy! I want my students to become independent, self-directed learners, set their own goals on their way to a deadline, and keep trying until they have reached a goal. I want students to have passion and perseverance. In other words, I want them to have GRIT!
Lebron James says "You can't be afraid to fail, it's the only way you succeed."
Albert Einstein said, "Failure is success in progress."
Gandhi said, "Success doesn't come if you don't make an attempt. Even failure comes after making an attempt. Give it a try."
According to current research, the amount of effort you put put into something something ultimately counts twice as much in the outcome than and natural talent or ability. In the spirit of GRIT, we will be using Standards Based Grading (SBG) again this year.
The SBG process allows students to take ownership of their learning as they demonstrate mastery of all concepts and put in the extra effort with additional practice when needed to progress. Students proficiency is assessed and must be demonstrated for each learning target. Student work on each learning target will earn a score of A, B, or Not Yet. Students must earn at least a B in order to demonstrate proficiency. Students who demonstrate proficiency in at least 75% of the course standards will pass the course and earn their credit.
Student learning experiences integrate a variety of activities including the Interactive Student Notebook; hands-on, partner, and small group activities; online math practice and research; in-class practice and reflection; homework; formative and summative assessments; and project-based products.
Students are expected to complete 20-30 minutes of math work outside of class each day (Monday through Thursday). This work may include the use of video or other online resources, taking notes, completing an online assessment, work on projects, practice not completed in class, reviews for assessment, reflections on lessons and progress, or more traditional homework practice assignments. Students claiming to have "no homework" on a week night should be reviewing their ISN and completed assignments to prepare for upcoming skill tests. Students will usually complete one or two skill tests each week, typically midweek and on Friday. Students may retake a skills test once they have completed an error analysis and missed problem corrections sheet (signed by parent) and additional practice on the standard. Students generally may not retake more than one skill test per day.
Cumulative benchmark assessments will take place at the end of each unit and as semester exams. Students will be given multiple opportunities to demonstrate proficiency of each learning target and develop their higher order thinking and 21st Century skills.

A Monolithic 100 kHz 16-Bit A/D D/A Converter Using Sigma-Delta Modulation
A complete monolithic stand-alone 100 Khz 16-bit data conversion system is described. The product is targeted at high performance signal processing applications such as digital audio. The chip features on-board linear phase decimation/interpolation filtering with a flat user passband in conjunction with sigma-delta noise shaping techniques. A serial interface is provided and supports multiple devices from a single serial port while maintaining sampling coherency between channels. The device uses an economical low pin-count package and the single 5-volt power supply simplifies system design and reduces power consumption. The paper covers device specifications and the design approach used to achieve the specifications along with simulation results to verify the design.

All Users Now Enabled on Edison Phase 2
August 30, 2013 by Francesca Verdier
All user accounts have been enabled on the second phase of Edison, a Cray XC30 with 5,200 compute nodes and roughly twice the sustained system performance of Hopper. The user environment on Edison phase 2 is the same as that on Edison phase 1, Of particular note is that the default programming environment uses the Intel compilers and the PGI compilers are not available. While most of the applications that were compiled for Edison phase 1 will run without recompilation, we strongly recommend that you recompile for the phase 2 system to get the best performance. For more information read the Edison pages.

I am using the plugin and it gives additional functionality and use it as more advanced network
I would like to know if Sub-sites of child networks affect SEO. How Does it matter if we use sub-sites under child networks(Child network x.childnetwork.mysite.com will use a custom domain- mysecondsite.net)? I went trough some topics over some websites and the authors suggests that sites under child networks (even with custom domains) affect SEO than regular sites
Thank you!

Girls Inc. of Winter Haven Honors Four Female Mentors
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 11:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 11:35 p.m.
WINTER HAVEN | Four women who are making a difference in the greater Winter Haven community will be honored today at Girls Inc.'s annual She Knows Where She's Going awards luncheon.
The four honorees exemplify role models who serve to inspire the youth organization's target audience -- young girls in grades kindergarten through middle school.
This is the award's 22nd year.
Ledger reporter Merissa Green will receive the George Jenkins award, which honors the memory of the late founder of Publix Super Markets Inc., and is bestowed on a woman who utilizes business savvy and resources to give back to community.
Sharon Miller, provost of Polk State College, is the recipient of the Julie Pope award for a trailblazer who paves the way for others.
Marilyn O'Shea, a paralegal, is to receive the Ralph and Alice Thompson award given to a woman whose contributions are varied through different activities.
Tracy Porter, executive director of the Polk State College Foundation, will receive the Virginia Snively award, named for Girls Inc.'s founder, honoring contributions to children or educational endeavors.
Girls Inc. of Winter Haven serves approximately 230 girls in after-school and summer programs.
"The majority of our girls are from lower-income families, but it's open to anyone," said Peggy Threlkel, the agency's executive director.
As many as 240 people are expected to attend today's $45-a-plate luncheon at Polk State College's student center. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the agency. To find out if any seats remain, contact Threlkel at 863-967-2874.
Green, a native of Daytona Beach, has earned a reputation as the go-to person for public contact with The Ledger, especially among those in East Polk County.
Green, 36, covers K-12 education for the newspaper. Over her 13-year tenure, she's covered a variety of municipal beats in Auburndale, Dundee, Lake Alfred and Winter Haven.
Green said she strives to keep her many public contacts informed on how to get news into the daily newspaper. "I really encourage people to read the paper so they'll find out about all the opportunities available to them," she said.
While a journalism major at Florida A&M University, Green served as a Ledger intern, and was formally hired in 2000 following graduation.
The person who nominated her for the Jenkins award said Green "shows girls how to become a catalyst for change by using their strength and courage to speak out on, and make decisions on, issues that impact themselves and their community."
Green is a member of the Polk County Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, and has served as co-chairwoman and program director for Focus on Leadership, sponsored by the Greater Winter Haven Area Chamber of Commerce.
An advocate for literacy, she has organized a book drive at her church and frequents classrooms as a United Way Reading Pal.
For investigative work, Green is a recipient of the Griot award of the Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists.
Of the Jenkins award, Green said she's humbled. "I feel like this award shows that I've earned my trust within the community."
As provost of Polk State College, Miller has garnered a reputation among students as a compassionate administrator, willing to lend an ear on any matter, and serving as a writing coach when the occasion demands.
She's even known to hold a proper English high tea in her office, from time to time.
"It's humbling for students to feel free enough to come to you and ask to help them," she said. "We all need some support and encouragement every now and then."
A Bartow native who grew up in Tampa, Miller, a mother of two grown children, credits her mother for instilling in her a passion for reading. She was only 8 when her father, a phosphate miner, died, leaving her mother, a housekeeper, to make ends meet.
Miller is an accomplished academic, earning a bachelor's degree in social and behavioral sciences from the University of South Florida; a master's in specific learning disabilities from Nova University; and educational specialist and doctoral degrees in school psychology from USF.
Prior to being hired as provost five years ago, Miller was a dean of adult and continuing education at Hillsborough Community College.
At PSC, she's been instrumental in forming a charitable program for homeless and underprivileged students called My Brother's Keeper, which provides food, personal items, eye exams and agency connections. She's a committed fund raiser and a member of the board of directors for Women's Resource Center.
"I try to be of service," she said. "It's not about me."
A paralegal with the Polk County law firm Peterson & Myers, O'Shea finds time to serve a host of church and charitable causes.
For 28 years, she's been part of the Cursillo Movement, an evangelical outreach that includes weekend retreats for spiritual study, worship and revitalization. As a retreat leader, she serves to inspire attendees through her personal experiences.
O'Shea, 61, continues her community service as a lector at St. Matthew Catholic Church. As a former volunteer for the Guardian Ad Litem program, she served as an advocate for children caught up in the child welfare system.
O'Shea, a native of Dallas, grew up with three brothers, one of whom has special needs, which taught her to be tolerant of individuals and their differences.
As a married mother of two, she left Texas for Winter Haven in 1975, later attending the former Polk Community College. Widowed in 1981, she devoted time to her own children.
As a member of Rotary International, she was the first female president of the club's Cypress Gardens branch.
O'Shea's heart for the developmentally disabled is evident through her work as a volunteer for Special Olympics. She cites her grandmother as instrumental in helping form her faith.
Of the Thompson award, O'Shea said it will afford her an opportunity outside of church to "share my story with others in an effort to help them find strength."
As a testament to the tenacity of Porter, executive director of Polk State College Foundation, assets within the college's philanthropic arm have grown to approximately $36 million.
During her time at PSC, Porter has expanded the foundation's ability to award student scholarships by holding special fundraisers, including the Wise & Witty Women and Many Magnificent Men luncheons, not to mention the Wine for Wisdom event.
Porter earned a bachelor's degree in administrative studies from Nova Southeastern University and a master's degree in organizational management from the University of Phoenix.
She spends much of her free time involved in a dizzying array of community programs and initiatives, including Leadership Winter Haven and Leadership Polk. She was honored in 2011 with the Leadership Winter Haven Distinguished Alumnus award.
As chair of Leadership Polk Alumni, she strives to "bring people from all areas of the county together to make our county stronger," her nominating letter said.
Porter serves many charitable causes, including walks for breast cancer awareness, Lake Wales Arts Council and Catholic Charities.
In the business world, she founded a monthly networking group for women, and is a member of Females Advancing Business, another networking vehicle.
Of her recognition by Girls Inc., Porter said the Snively award "reinforces that the work I do in Polk makes a genuine difference in the lives of others, and is recognized and appreciated."

It's easy to see why Chvrches emerged as one of the most heavily hyped bands 0f 2013.

Two years later, the cosmic popsters land at Central Park in support of their upcoming sophomore album, Every Open Eye.

I edited the standard wordpress calendar to highlight the colours of days based on the category, the calendar functionality uses
get_day_link() which loads ALL posts on that day, however I want to restrict this to just particular categories. Here is the code that makes the days clickable links, this is an edit of the general-template.php file , the function is
if ( in_array($day, $daywithevent) && in_array($day, $daywithtraining) ) // are there both events AND training happening today?
$calendar_output .= '$day";
elseif ( in_array($day, $daywithtraining ) ) // how about just training?
$calendar_output .= '$day";
elseif ( in_array($day, $daywithevent) ) //how about just events?
$calendar_output .= '$day";
$calendar_output .= ''.$day;
$calendar_output .= '	';
Is there anything I could add to to the url? like a query to make these 3 links category specific? There doesnt seem to be anything to add to

Very hearty and delicious! I used canned northern beans and didn't use any butter. Still fantastic!
Another wonderful recipe from Signora Hazan! Her cookbooks are among the most dog-eared on my kitchen shelf - lots of fun to read as well as cook from.
I love Marcella Hazan's recipes (and Evelyn's too) and this one did not disappoint. The result is a lovely, rich, satisfying risotto. I used half sweet and half spicy Italian sausages and flat leaf parsley from the garden. Yum!
Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ for Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles! I made 2 slight alterations to the recipe : 1) I used tinned Borlotti beans & 2) I used Merguez sausage which is a spiced lamb sausage. Other than those 2 things, I stuck to the recipe & it produced the most delicious risotto I've had in a long time! Thanks Ev for a great recipe. :)

Katie Holmes in Pierre Balmain Distressed Leopard Skinny Jeans
Katie Holmes had a visit from daughter Suri on set of her new show Dangerous Liaisons in New York. The actress wore a pair of Pierre Balmain Distressed Leopard Skinny Jeans with a printed top and some ankle boots.
Katie seems to be immersing herself back into acting. She has a new film The Giver as well as this show here. I have always found that she has chosen very diverse and daring roles throughout her career. They are usually something that I would have never expected her to choose, i.e Thank You For Smoking. You can click here to purchase Pierre Balmain from YOOX.

Katie Holmes in Chimala Ankle Jeans in Medium Distress
Photographed while heading to the set of her latest movie, Katie Holmes wore her Chimala Ankle jeans in medium distress with a pair of loafers and purple blazer.
It's been a while since we've seen Katie out in these jeans. One thing I love about these jeans is that the washing and the aging details are so well executed, it makes the jeans look like they're a vintage pair. What do you think of these jeans? You can buy Chimala jeans from Madewell.com.

Katie Holmes in Pierre Balmain Distressed Leopard Skinny Jeans
Katie Holmes was spotted heading to the movies with daughter Suri in Miami, Florida. The actress wore a pair of Pierre Balmain Distressed Leopard Skinny Jeans with some sandals.
This is the first time we have seen Katie wear any denim from the Balmain lines. As someone who has been caught in countless brands and styles, I wonder why it took her so long? I would have thought she would have been one of the first to be caught in their motorcycle styles circa '09. What do you think about Katie wearing more styles from both the main and diffusion lines? You can click here to purchase these jeans ON SALE at LUISAVIAROMA.

Katie Holmes in Levi's Denim Shorts
Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri were snapped while spending some quality time near the pool in Miami. Katie wore a pair of distressed Levi's shorts with a Missoni bathing suit and sandals.
The distressing on these shorts reminds me a bit of One Teaspoon or MinPink and it seems very intentionally placed down the side. I do like that they have a bit of a darker wash because we tend to see a lot of lighter washes when it comes to cut off Levi's shorts. I hope we see her style these as the weather gets warmer, besides as a bathing suit cover up. You can buy a similar pair of Levi's denim shorts here.

The Olmec Writing
- The Olmec people introduced writing to the New World. The Olmec script is a logo-syllabic script. The Olmec had both a syllabic and hieroglyphic script. The hieroglyphic signs were simply Olmec syllabic signs used to make pictures. There are two forms of Olmec hieroglyphic writing, the pure hieroglyphics,and the phonetic hieroglyphics, which are a combination of syllabic and logo-graphic signs.

This is such a newb question I'm almost embarrassed to ask it.
I've recently set up a wordpress blog and I just got an email saying "New User Registration" and it has details of some person I don't know who seems to have signed up to my blog. In the wp-admin their user role is shown as 'none' but I don't understand how they did this. Does this mean they are just subscribed to my RSS feed or something, or have they exploited a weakness in my site and somehow gained access to parts of the site they shouldn't have?
Bit worried. Any advice would be helpful! I'm a little unsure of how it all works
