The tight end position is more talented, but less predictable than ever in fantasy football leagues. High-upside players are emerging and fading (see: Jordan Cameron, Jordan Reed and Timothy Wright), which has left the position in a steady state of flux.
Two household names, Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski, are establishing themselves as staples at the top of the list. After that? Julius Thomas is the next closest to a sure thing, while Greg Olsen and Antonio Gates are consistent threats with lower-than-desired ceilings.
In fantasy, it all means that a majority of owners have options but little certainty. This week is another good example with Jason Witten and Jared Cook both on byes. Are rising players such as Rob Housler and John Carlson reliable enough to consider starting options?
Let's take a look at the state of the position for Week 11, including matchup highlights and top 20 rankings.
Rob Gronkowski, NE, at Carolina: Gronkowski has eclipsed 100 yards in two of three games since making his season debut. His true breakout came in Week 9 when he torched the Steelers for 143 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots hit their bye week with momentum and had two weeks to game plan for the streaking Panthers. That plan should involve heavy doses of Gronkowski attacking a defense that has allowed four touchdowns to opposing tight ends in its last five games.
Rob Housler, ARI, at Jacksonville: Housler is slowly but surely finding a bigger role in the Cardinals' offense. He's caught at least four passes in three of his last four games, highlighted by 57 yards and a touchdown in a Week 10 win over the Houston Texans. So long as that usage trend continues, Housler could be due for a repeat performance against a Jaguars team that ranks last in the NFL in total and scoring defense and has given up eight touchdowns to opposing tight ends in its last seven games.
Scott Chandler, BUF, vs. New York Jets: Call it the kryptonite of an otherwise stout defense. The Jets, who lead the NFL in run defense, have been consistently burned by opposing tight ends, including Chandler himself in the previous meeting between these two teams. The Bills tight end has been hit or miss, but a friendly matchup helps and makes him a quality bet for those looking to replace Jason Witten or Jared Cook this week.
Julius Thomas, DEN, vs. Kansas City: The Chiefs have one of the NFL's fiercest defenses, leading the league in scoring defense (12.3 ppg) and sacks (36). Kansas City has also yet to allow a touchdown to an opposing tight end, which could put Thomas' newfound elite status into question for a week. The Broncos have enough options to take what opponents give them; in Week 11, those opportunities are more likely to center around the ground game and outside threats.
Martellus Bennett, CHI, vs. Baltimore: With three straight lackluster efforts and just one touchdown in his last seven games, Bennett has left the realm of every-week starters in fantasy. He's also been limited with an ankle injury and is facing a Ravens defense that has tightened up its coverage on tight ends since being torched by Julius Thomas in the season opener. It's best to look for other options this week.
Charles Clay, MIA, vs. San Diego: The Chargers' defensive flaws aren't universal, as Jason Witten, Coby Fleener, Jordan Reed and other tight ends can attest. Prior to a long Julius Thomas touchdown catch last week, San Diego hadn't allowed an opposing tight end to score in the previous seven consecutive weeks. Friendly foe or not, Clay has begun to look like a fringe fantasy option, at best, averaging 26.7 yards over his last three games.
Dennis Pitta, BAL, at Chicago: Pitta is nearing a return to Ravens practice after undergoing hip surgery during training camp. The talented tight end has yet to play this season after catching 61 passes for 669 yards and seven touchdowns in a breakout 2012 campaign. Pitta is certainly worth watching with the hopes that he can return to form in time for the fantasy playoff run.

text: Johannesburg - The government said on Thursday it would further relax foreign exchange control rules for individuals, making it easier for citizens to invest up to R5m abroad annually. The National Treasury also said it would allow companies to top up capital in their offshore businesses, and relaxed rules for coporations that want to invest outside their current business lines. The changes mark the latest step by the government to move away from stringent controls over foreign exchange flows out of the country. "The annual R4m foreign investment allowance plus the R1m current single discretionary allowance will be consolidated into one R5m foreign investment allowance per year," the Treasury said. South Africans could invest more than R5m overseas a year as long as they adhere to "strict criteria" set by Reserve Bank for disclosure. The Treasury said limits for individuals on alimony, wedding and travel allowances would be done away with. In recent years, South Africa has raised the amount of money domestic institutions such as retirement funds are allowed to invest abroad. The South African Reserve Bank will release further details within a month, the Treasury said.

About $21-$30 per entree
From the name to the oft-bearded servers to the old Oregon paintings on the wall, you'd be forgiven for guessing the Woodsman Tavern was a hunting lodge. But the look here is more urban, closer to a pre-Prohibition New York beer bar, with dark wood floors desperate for sawdust and light fixtures once part of that city's subway system.
Not to miss: Deviled eggs, kale Caesar with rye croutons, smoked trout with lentils, ham plate, raw seafood bar, trout in "crazy water," pan-roasted pork chop with romesco sauce, Hendee cocktail. Chef Jason Barwikowski likes to experiment with new dishes, so don't be surprised if not everything mentioned is available.
Bargains: Order some snacks ($2-$5) and have a drink at the bar.

It was a lazy waking, a bit stiff from the previous day walk. But after being ready, Katarina brought me on the way to hitch further in direction of Czech Republic, the shitty thing is that I didn't wait long but the car who stopped only took me few km further then I waited longer. Luckely then someone took and finally brought me to the border town, where the border control is in the middle of the city. So I crossed by foot, and obviously nobody there was used to see a foreigner. The customs were looking for their stamps and I had to wait a little for that. The great thing is that then I got an old style Czech stamp, not the new European one!
Then I walked the Czech part of the city until its end and start hitching at what was a good spot but damn nobody was stopping and the day was advancing pretty fast. I also had no Czech money and no possibility to call then.
Finally, a car stopped to bring me further in one of the major city along the way. He was an american from Chicago living in CZ, it was pretty cool :)
He left me at another good hitching spot and gave me all the remaining coins that was lying in his car... so that I could possibly buy a but ticket and he checked the bus schedule. So I still at least had an hour before the next bus.
Hopefully, I didn't have to use that option as an Austrian car stopped (with obviously Slovak people in it) and they brought me all the way to the outskirt of Olomouc (along the highway). I simply needed to walk until I could find a tram, I got in and tried to find the streets where Hanna (HC: hanuska) lives. It was a little complicated in the dark... and Czech people... are a bit cold at first sight. Luckely after having asked 3 times someone helped me and I did find the street.
Then I met with Hanna and her husband, both doctorate student at Olomouc University (the oldest of CZ). They offered me dinner and then looked a bit at their chinchilla and other guinee pig. Later in the evening, I cleaned a bit the thing in my bag and by 9pm I was so tired that I falled asleep.
January 23
Wonderful surprise!!!
IT SNOWS!!! At least for the first time for months!
So the whole city is covered by a gentle carpet of snow!
I went out with Hanna by noon to go to the university cafeteria (she couldn't walk out often during the day as she is on sick leaves and in CZ you actually can't leave the house if you are on sick leaves from your job except for like one hour a day).
After this I went for a long afternoon walk all around town, visiting the different monument and parks of the city. Olomouc is an old fortified city who had one of the oldest university of the East. It has a lot of wonderful baroque buildings and some Unesco protected monuments. I enjoyed walking through the little streets.
I even climbed one of the church tower next to the bell to have an overview of the tiles covered with snow. Anyway the whole city was quite majestic and clean then.
I stopped by a little market to get some food by the early evening and finally walked back to Hanna's place later, for a good warm soup some nice talk, finally using the computer to search for hosts in Brno and maybe London too.
It was a lovely day!

> > > The info that came with the beta match suggests experimenting with the > match and driven element length to tune it at ground level, but the info with it is vague as to the process. And, I can't uncover a correlation that would permit me to pre-tune it at ground level that translates to being tuned when raised on the tower at 65 feet. You don't really need to experiment. The correct settings are quite specific. You need to shorten the driven element so it shows about 25 ohms of capacitive reactance and adjust the beta match hairpin so its about 50 ohms of inductive reactance. 26-j25 ohms in parallel with +j50 ohms is about 50+j2 ohms. L.B. Cebik's website has a good explanation of what's going on and formulas to calculate the hairpin inductor and antenna capacitive reactance: the beta match hairpin is the shunt inductor in a balanced L network. The two series capacitors are formed by the capacitive reactance of the antenna. Just like if you did this with an antenna tuner, all values are fairly critical. Once you get it right, it will work fine, but juggling both and not actually having the thing in the air could be a headache. In your particular case, you might start with setting the beta match hairpin to +j50 ohms using your analyzer and then try shortening the driven element to get a good match. I think it will help nail down your variables a bit. K3LR writes: You can easily match 26 ohms (with no reactance) to 50 ohms with a one > quarter wavelength piece of RG-83 coax (35 ohms) in series. You can also do it with a twelfth wave transformer made of 25 ohm and 50 ohm sections. The 25 ohm can be paralleled 50 ohm cable, so you don't need any special coax. The technique is show at the bottom of this page: http://www.tuc.nrao.edu/~demerson/twelfth/twelfth.htm Then again, if I had a roll of 35 ohm coax I'd use it all the time :-) Either way, series section matching is certainly a good option here. Should be broader bandwidth than the beta. And there's nothing really to adjust... just install and go. 73 Dan _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

Two Democrats will square off in the Sept. 9 primary in order for the chance to take on state Sen. Don Humason Jr., R-Westfield, in the Nov. 4 election.
Holyoke Fire Commission Chairman Christopher Hopewell, 56, and Holyoke police officer Patrick T. Leahy, 36, will take their messages to the voters in a taped, televised forum next week at the studios of MassLive.com media partner CBS 3 Springfield.
The Editorial Board of The Republican and MassLive.com are seeking input from you, the readers, regarding the candidates. What critical questions will help us decide which candidates to endorse – and you decide who to vote for? We want to know what issues you're interested in.
Please forward your questions to us using the comment section below or, if you'd prefer to do it by email, feel free to write us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The following is background on the candidates and excerpts from a recent debate:
In a June 18 debate at Holyoke Public Library, the two Democrats running for the 2nd Hampden-Hampshire state Senate seat agreed on many issues. What set them apart was their position about marijuana.
"Medical marijuana is a joke," Leahy said. "Legalize it at the federal level, tax it, and be done with it. If you want marijuana, go to CVS, or wherever you go to pick up your prescriptions, and get your marijuana." Leahy argued that the state's medical marijuana law creates a system where a small number of people stand to get rich by running non-profit dispensaries, Mary Serreze reported for MassLive.com and The Republican.
Hopewell countered that marijuana has legitimate medical uses, and defended two local men who are principals in a medical marijuana non-profit now hoping to open a dispensary at 181 Appleton St. in Holyoke.
In his opening statement, Hopewell said he's an army veteran and paramedic who has lived in the district for three decades. He spoke of his career in health care delivery and administration, including serving on the Northwestern District Attorney's task force on opioid addiction. "We must stop treating addiction as a crime and begin treating it as a medical condition," said Hopewell, who added that ensuring access to health care would be one of his top priorities.
A Realtor, Leahy said he's been an officer with the Holyoke police force since 2003. "It seems to me there's a disconnect between what's happening on the streets of our towns and cities, and what's happening in Boston," Leahy said. "This is the year when we can make a difference."
Both Leahy and Hopewell said they are against casinos, an issue that may or may not play out as an issue at the state level. Voters could repeal the enabling legislation for three casinos across the state on Nov. 4.
Both candidates said they favor increasing local aid. However, they found different ways to do so.
Hopewell said out of the state's $40 billion budget, $17 billion goes to health care. "Better efficiencies in health care spending can directly relate to more revenue coming back to cities and towns," he said.
Leahy said the problem lies with local aid formulas which haven't been changed in years. "We need to rework the funding mechanism," he said.

News Release
Trenton, NJ 08625-0360
|Christine Grant
|For Release:
May 24, 2000
|For Further
Information Contact:
Rita Manno
TRENTON - Making strides to identify, address and reduce or eliminate health disparities in minority populations will take the combined efforts of community leaders, policy makers and the health care community.
That is the message of participants in the State's first minority health summit held last September and is one of numerous recommendations to improve health care and outcomes for minorities made today in a report to Health and Senior Services Commissioner Christine Grant.
"Health of Minorities in New Jersey: Part 1 -- The Black Experience" brought together more than 250 health care providers, elected officials, government and community leaders to examine ways to reduce or eliminate the differences in health status -- such as higher rates of disease and shorter life spans -- between New Jersey's black and white communities. A second minority health summit, addressing the Latino experience, will convene June 2nd and 3rd, 2000.
"New Jersey has taken the lead in shining a light on the issue of health disparities," said Commissioner Grant. "These groundbreaking summits and the recommendations they produce, along with the goals outlined in our Healthy New Jersey 2010 planning document, will serve as the cornerstones to improve the health status of all state residents."
Grant said she will convene a department-wide committee to evaluate today's report and a similar document expected after the Latino health summit in June and establish best practices for department activities and the health care community at large.
Grant noted the Department of Health and Senior Services has been active in a number of important minority health issues. Chief among those efforts, the department is presently in the third phase - educating health care providers - of a two-year, $1 million black infant mortality awareness campaign known as BIBS, Black Infants, Better Survival. The department has also initiated and is supporting grass-roots education and screening programs for breast and prostate cancer in African-American communities. The Department has also initiated a cultural competency training program for its many grantees.
Julane W. Miller-Armbrister, chief executive officer of the Plainfield Health Center and chairperson of the New Jersey Office of Minority Health's Advisory Commission, said, "No one group can take on this challenge and eliminate all racial and ethnic health disparities on its own. This report is a call to action to all segments of government, the health care industry, academia, and the state's diverse community leaders to work together to ensure health status parity."
The recommendations released today address available data on minority health and data collection issues; current health disparities and programs in other states that have shown promise in addressing disparities; the impact of HIV/AIDS on the African-American community; the importance of cultural competency among health care providers and others; and the work of the Office of Minority Health.
Among the recommendation issued today were calls for:
"It's important to remember statistics reflect actual state minority residents who for too long have disproportionally experienced illness and premature death," said summit planning committee member Dr. Denise V. Rodgers, Associate Dean of Community Health for UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. "We first identified disparities some 15 years ago and despite our efforts they still exist. We need to use the recommendations in this report and ensure that 15 years from now there are no health disparities."
"These recommendations are broad and to have the desired effect will require many agencies, groups and organizations to change the way they do business internally and in concert with their community partners," said Office of Minority Health Director Linda Holmes.

Group to hold public meeting on jet noise
The group opposing flight operations at the U.S. Navy's Outlying Field Coupeville will hold a meeting on Central Whidbey later this month.
Citizens for Ebey's Reserve said it will be focusing on jet noise and its effect on public health.
The meeting is 4:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 N.W. Alexander St.
According to a news release issued by COER, University of Washington experts will be making presentations about the effect of jet noise on "children and human health in general."
"This free educational forum, specifically prepared for this event, is for anyone interested in scientific studies regarding the growing concern for how jet noise impacts our health," the group said in its news release.
Featured speakers will include Karen Bowman, Dr. Catherine Karr and Nancy Beaudet.
Bowman is a registered nurse, an environmental health specialist and a member of the Washington State Nurses Association.
Karr is a pediatrician with a doctoral degree in epidemiology and master's degree in environmental health/toxicology. She is also the director of the Northwest Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit.
Beaudet is an exposure scientist for the Northwest Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit and the University of Washington Occupational and Environmental Medicine Clinic.
Beaudet investigates chemical, physical and biological exposure, and has extensive experience conducting compliance inspections for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries.
"The more studies that are completed, the stronger the links seem to become between jet noise and adverse cardiac impacts," she said.
Paula Spina, speaking on behalf of the group, said it is not their intent to press any kind of agenda or message.
It is the group's hope, she said, that those reviewing the information will join the experts in looking critically and scientifically at the effects of jet noise.
"We did not give them any marching orders as to what to find or how to do their jobs," Spina said. "If they had come back to us and said that there were no adverse impacts we would have accepted that finding."
Spina said this event is not intended to be a forum for debate or argument, but strictly an informational session.
"I would hope everybody that could, would attend this meeting and get the facts concerning how noise affects health."

ENGLEWOOD — The head of an advocacy group for gas station and convenience store owners said a citywide ban on tobacco and nicotine sales to anyone under 21 would hurt small businesses, the Record reported.
The city's new ordinance applies to cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes. It is the first in the state to raise the legal age since 2006, when it was raised from 18 to 19.
The Senate approved a bill in June that would raise the age to 21 statewide. New Jersey would be the first state to increase the legal age to 21.
Small-business owners in Englewood will lose customers to competitors in neighboring towns because of the ordinance, Sal Risalvato, executive director of the New Jersey Gasoline-Convenience-Automotive Association, said.
Council President Lynne Algrant said any detriment to businesses wouldn't outweigh the health benefits of the ban.
"I think we should do everything we can to put roadblocks between kids and their impulsiveness and all the other reasons they try cigarettes," she said.

Sweet and Spicy Peach Quesadillas with Honey-Lime Sour Cream | KCET
Sweet and Spicy Peach Quesadillas with Honey-Lime Sour Cream
These quesadillas are a simple appetizer or lunch (complete the meal with an arugula side salad). Or, serve the peach salsa with tortilla chips as a colorful snack. The salsa will be as good as your peach, so use the best peach you can find.
Sweet and Spicy Peach Quesadillas with Honey-Lime Sour Cream
Yields 2 quesadillas of three slices each.
Peach salsa ingredients:
1 large ripe peach, peeled, pitted and chopped
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped serrano or jalapeño pepper (about 2 peppers, seeded and chopped)
1 tablespoon packed cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 small lime, juiced
1/8 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Quesadilla ingredients:
2 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
1 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
Honey-lime sour cream:
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
dash of sea salt
Make the salsa: In a bowl, toss the chopped peach, onion, pepper and cilantro with the lime juice and salt. Set aside to marinate, preferably for 15 minutes or longer. Drain off as much liquid as possible in order to avoid soggy quesadillas.
Make the dip: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, honey and salt, and set aside.
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Warm a tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds, flipping halfway. Flip it once again, then sprinkle one-half of the tortilla with a generous 1/3 cup shredded cheese. Use a fork to transfer about half of the
peach salsa over the cheese, then top the salsa with about 1/3 cup more cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the cheese, then use a spatula to flip the quesadilla. Let the tortilla cook until the underside is golden.
Before flipping to the other side, lightly brush the top side with olive oil, and flip. Let that side cook until the underside is crisp and golden. Brush the top with olive oil and repeat for the other side.
Transfer to a plate, let it cool for a minute or two, and use a pizza slicer or chef's knife to slice the quesadilla into three wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients, and serve the quesadillas with honey-lime sour cream.

"The Help," based on the best-seller by Kathryn Stockett, joins this collection.
We are presented a story about domestics, maids that work for white families in the early 1960s.
The story is framed around the white Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone), who works to collect the stories of these African-American women who raise the children and tend the homes of their white employers.
The focus is on Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis), the maid whose voice narrates the story.
Aibileen has raised more than a dozen white children. Her current charge is a toddler named Mae Mobley, who is neglected by her mother, which causes Aibileen to fret for the little girl and her unborn brother.
The other focus is on Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer). Minny worked for Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard) until she was thought to have used the toilet in the house.
Hilly believes in the ideal of "separate but equal," even when it comes to toilet use. Using the toilet is the unpardonable sin for Minny, and Hilly exiles her.
Hilly, being petty and mean, is the villain of the movie. She is the president of the local Junior League and wields her power to disenfranchise those she deems less than her. A good example is Celia Foote (Jessica Chastain).
Celia is "poor white trash" that happened to marry Hilly's former boyfriend, and Hilly does all she can to keep Celia out of the town's social circle.
All these subplots whirl around the larger story: Skeeter's determination to document the stories of these women who love children that aren't their own and tend to homes they're not even allowed to use the toilet in.
It takes time, but Skeeter gets her interviews, and the book is published. The townspeople read and discover that, though the names are changed, they are in it.
"The Help" is a wonderfully shot, beautifully acted movie. Because it is based on a hugely best-selling novel, it will do well at the box office. But…
It's too sugar-coated to be real. Those days were filled with reprisals when a person stepped out of place.
Bombs blew up churches, and men were lynched. It was a dangerous time in the South, especially in Mississippi, where the movie is set.
We get hints of that. The time period here overlaps the murder of Medgar Evers, which catches up Aibileen in one brief scene. But there is no real threat on the African-American characters, save losing a job.
The film would have done well to show the viewers what happened to African-Americans who were "sassy" or acted "uppity."
On a personal note, the movie did touch me. I grew up in the days of Jim Crow and knew full well about "separate but equal."
My first movie-going experience was at the Carolina Theater in Lumberton, N.C. There were two entrances: one for whites and one for colored.
It also reminded me of the lady who came to our house to clean and look after my sister and me. Her name was Isadora. She did not come daily like the women in the movie, but she came twice a week.
My most vivid memory of her was when we had lunch. We sat at the table and ate, and Isadora sat at the stove.
She wouldn't sit with us because it was "wrong" for whites and African-Americans to sit down to eat together. I never understood why.
"The Help" did not provide any answers, and I think it's flawed for its incomplete picture of the danger, but it did remind me of my early childhood.

#include <Xm/DropDown.h>
The DropDown widget allows the user to select elements from a list of choices, and enter their own values in a text widget. To conserve screen space, the list of choices is shown only when the user selects the down arrow button. The choices may then be selected from this list. If the list widget is in Browse Select mode (the default) or Single Select mode, then the list will automatically be removed when the user selects an item in the list. When the list is in other modes, multiple items may be selected and the list may be popped down by either another click on the arrow button, a click outside the list or double-clicking an item. When using keyboard traversal, the list may be popped down by selecting the arrow button or Alt - down arrow, and popped back up by typing either the osfActivate key, a carriage return, or Alt - up arrow. In any case, when the list is removed the item or items that were selected will be placed in the text widget separated by commas. Typing the escape key when the list is up, cancels the list popup, restoring the DropDown widget to the state it was in before the list was popped up. If the text field area is non-editable, clicking anywhere in the text field the list will also pop down.
Resources are available to change the margin sizes, the location of the left edge of the popup list, whether or not the label is shown, whether the text field widget may be edited, and whether or not the text in the list is verified against the choices available in the list. By setting resources that occur in the children of the DropDown widget, the contents of the list, the number of items visible in the list, the initial value of the text field, and the value of the label may be set or changed dynamically.
If a developer wishes the popup list's shell to be resizable, they should set the allowShellResize to True at creation time.
XmDropDown inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Core, Composite, and XmManager classes.
The class pointer is xmDropDownWidgetClass.
The class name is XmDropDown.
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).
The DropDown is composed of many sub-widgets. Most of the information displayed to the user is set through these sub widgets. Most values passed to this widget through the argument list at creation time or via set values are passed to each of this widget's children. Get values requests must be made on a child by child basis. The children of the DropDown are listed below. The OSF/Motifdocumentation should be consulted for an exhaustive set of resources for each child. A partial list of the most common resources are listed here for convenience.
XmDropDown comboBox
XmLabel label
XmTextField text
XmArrowButton arrow
OverrideShell popupShell
XmScrolledWindow listSW
XmScrollBar ListvScrollBar
XmScrollBar ListhScrollBar
XmList list
The popup shell and its children are only created when customizedCombinationBox is False.
XmDropDown inherits behavior and resources from the superclasses described in the following tables. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the reference page for that superclass.
None of the DropDown's callback procedures have any call data currently defined for them. The widget passed to each of these functions is the DropDown widget.
The DropDown widget lays out its children (the label, text and arrow) in a row. The amount of space they are each allocated when the DropDown is not allowed to be the exact size it desires is determined using the following rules:
For example:
If the amount of space for the label and text is 100 pixels and the label wants to be 50 pixels wide and the text would like to be 100 pixels wide then the label will get 34 pixels and the text 66.
The popup shell widget is sized such that the width of the scrolled list widget equals the width of the text widget minus the value of the "popupOffset" resource. If the popup shell resides in a customized combination box, however, it is allowed to be whatever size the child of the popup shell would like to be.
Composite(3), Core(3), XmCreateDropDown(3), XmDropDownGetArrow(3), XmDropDownGetLabel(3), XmDropDownGetList(3), XmDropDownGetText(3), XmDropDownGetValue(3), XmList(3), XmManager(3), XmTextField(3), XmVaCreateDropDown(3), and XmVaCreateManagedDropDown(3).

beginner having trouble with higher winds

Hi Charliem,
I thought that I would add a quick comment here as I think I have experienced the problems you are facing more recently than the more hardened pros above. I started windsurfing in 2006 and bought a Carve 145 with a new 6.5m Gaastra Pilot rig to which I quickly added an older second-hand Tushingham 5.7m sail realising that the 6.5 was too big for the conditions I was sailing in. I sail off the South coast of England near Eastbourne so it is often choppy with large shore break. Not the easiest place to learn I have to say.
I began to go out in windier conditions towards the end of 2007. The biggest tip I received was to do everything a little more quickly and a little more extreme than I had been used to in lighter winds. You have more time to adjust and greater margins of error when it is not blowing a hooley. When the wind picks up a bit I found that before I could react I was back in the drink.
The answer for me was to try to uphaul and get my feet in the right place quickly BEFORE sheeting in with the back hand a LITTLE bit to get the power on. This is what Roger told me and is now saying to you. This is all well and good if you are not rounding up into the wind which is exactly what was happening to me. Everything stalls, you go nowhere and eventually get dumped after fighting with the rig for a bit. So, ensure that the mast is across your body into wind and slightly forward in order that you bear away. The nose of the board turns off the wind and when you sheet in it begins to power up slowly. Once underway you can increase the power in the rig by sheeting gradually.
My problems did not end here I have to say. Once you start to power up the standard "7" stance no longer works, being too upright. You need to oppose the rig's power with your body not just your arms and this takes some adjustment. Leaning out over the windward rail, eventually in the harness, keeps the board flat, energy driving through he board and you dry, at least for a little while! I thought that I was doing this but my instructor kept on at me to make more exaggerated movements and eventually I got it. You may find that you over compensate and over adjust from time to time. It is a balancing act and you develop a "feel" for it.
Sounds like you are not far off and that a gradual upgrading of kit as you improve should help. The nirvana of planing and blasting is just over the horizon and I bet your face will hurt you will be smiling so much. Good luck.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- A former Raymour & Flanigan employee who stole more than $126,000 from the furniture company has turned in his license to practice as a certified public accountant.
The state Board of Regents announced it accepted an application from Anthony J. Caruso Jr, 38, of Clay to surrender his license.
The state charged Caruso with professional misconduct after he pleaded guilty in Onondaga County Court in 2013 to second-degree grand larceny, a felony. He admitted stealing from the company between October 2010 and November 2011.
Caruso paid $126,808.03 in restitution and was sentenced to a three-year conditional discharge.

Reviews for Tennessee Fisher House Foundation, Inc.
I first became aware of Fisher House to be built at the Alvin C. York VA Hospital when Andrea Lawrence spoke to the Noon Exchange Club of Murfreesboro. Americanism is one of the pillars of The National Exchange Club so this message drew me closer to the project.
Not only did I make a financial donation, not as much as I wanted, I then arranged with Ms Lawrence to be able to post 3 foot by 5 foot American Flags on 8 foot poles from our "Healing Field - Flags of Remembrance" over Memorial Day weekend as a pathway for the groundbreaking ceremony. A beautiful site as you entered the area, and much more of a image when photos were published of the flags.
Any time we can help those who served and abided by their oath to defend this country, I try to help. Knowing Fisher House has the same approach makes me want to support more.
Don Wright, 2013-2014 National President, National Exchange Club

I first learned about the Tennessee Fisher House while having lunch at Miller's Restaurant. Mr Dan Whittle was sitting at our table and he started speaking of the Big Event The Tennessee Fisher House. As he explained what is was and how it came about I felt compelled to jump on board. The more he talked the more compelled I became to help these veterans and their families who have given so much for us and our country. He introduced me to Andrea Lawrence, President of Tennessee Fisher House. She was a joy to speak with and a bundle of energy! I feel proud to have worked with some of the best people on this. As I have met with veterans and heard their stories I want to give them all the help I can so I want to do my part. The Alvin C York VA hospital is a historic and magnificent tribute to our veterans. There is no better place for the Tennessee Fisher House to be located except on their grounds. Thank you Dan and Andy for letting me be a part of this. Thank you to the Fisher House Foundation for being here and doing what you do. But most of all, THANK YOU to the veterans and their families. God Bless You.

Having a son serving in the U.S. Army, I know that a family's love is good medicine.
Fisher House Foundation, Inc. continually rates A+ (AIP) and 4 stars out of 4 by Charity Navigator. 96% of Fisher House revenue goes to programs that help Military Families.
There is no charge to stay at a Fisher House. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
Our Tennessee Fisher House being built in Murfreesboro will be 12 suites, each with a private bedroom and handicap accessible bathroom in the 10,000 square foot facility. All are professionally furnished and decorated. Families will share common areas that include a kitchen, communal living, dining and family rooms, a patio and library – and toys are available for children.
It is a honor to help the men and women who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe and free.

The general public in Tennessee is paying to build this beautiful home, and it is well on it way to being a reality to serve our veterans and their families with free lodging. You cannot compare the beauty and comfort with any other place. All of our Board of Directors are volunteers who have been working hard to make a difference in the lives of those who have given so much for us. This is our way of saying "Thank You".

The Fisher House Foundation is by far the best military focused charity. They received A+ ratings from the American Institute of Philanthropy and four star Charity Navigator ratings because the money donated goes to the focus of the charity, and not to salaries and overhead. I was first introduced to Fisher House through the recommendation of a soldier returning from deployment in Iraq. Once I was briefed on their mission and visited a Fisher House, I was totally sold. The veterans and their families of these recent conflicts are facing years of medical treatments, and they deserve a warm, compassionate environment where the families find support and encouragement from others in similar circumstances. Offering free lodging in a beautiful, safe place while a loved one is receiving medical care is what we should do for America's service members, veterans and their families during the stressful times of illness or injury.

I got involved with the Tennessee Fisher House Foundation through Hooper Penuel and Dan Whittle, two great American patriots who have put their money, time and talent where their hearts are. After one meeting with them over lunch at Billy's Restaurant in Newtown, TN, I went from "involved" to "committed"! Since then I've become a volunteer, multi-county fundraiser and board member. For me, the Tennessee Fisher House project has become a labor of love. So, I'm doing all I can-every day in every way-to make the Tennessee Fisher House dream a ringing reality. I urge others to join this worthy effort because it's the right thing to do for our military families in their times of greatest need. Thomas B. Vaughn, Colonel, US Army, Retired.

Over the last 10 days, the developing saga regarding Miami Dolphins offensive linemen Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito has sent shock waves through the NFL and its fanbase.
Shortly before Miami's Week 10 Monday Night Football showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owner Stephen Ross addressed the highly publicized issues for the first time. He apologized to the fans, expressed his support for Martin, a new committee to help clean up the culture of the locker room and what he plans on doing with the currently suspended Incognito.
While several Dolphins players made headlines in the middle of last week by proclaiming their allegiance to Incognito, Ross began his press conference by making clear his support for Martin, via SportsCenter's Twitter feed:
"This most important thing is we care about Jonathan Martin" - Dolphins owner Stephen Ross #LIVEonSC— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) November 11, 2013
Ross went on to say that he has yet to meet face-to-face with the second-year tackle out of Stanford, who left the team last week. However, the two have texted and there are plans for a meeting later this week, via CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora and NFL.com's Jeff Darlington:
Ross says that coach Joe Philbin told him about Martin's departure when it happened and he has texted Martin. Plans to meet with him shortly— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) November 11, 2013
Steve Ross says he will meet with Jonathan Martin on Wednesday in face-to-face meeting.— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) November 11, 2013
As for Incognito, who attempted to clear his name in an interview with Fox Sports' Jay Glazer on Sunday, the jury is still out.
Instead of rushing to make a decision, Ross is waiting to hear all of the facts from this bizarre, twisting-and-turning story before deciding on the veteran's future with the team, per NFL.com's Albert Breer:
Steve Ross asked why Richie Incognito is still on the team -- "I want to hear all the facts."— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 11, 2013
Nevertheless, while there are still developments coming as to what happens with Martin and Incognito, the 73-year-old owner made it clear that definite changes are coming to the Dolphins locker room.
From NFL.com's Ian Rapoport:
Steve Ross says "there will be no racial slurs or harassing or bullying in that workplace, in that locker room, outside the locker room"— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 11, 2013
In order to help create a new code of conduct, Ross is organizing an impressive five-man committee:
Those 5 men - Shula, Dungy, Marino, Taylor & Martin - will help develop code of conduct as Ross tries to set a new standard in locker room.— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) November 11, 2013
Don Shula is a legendary figure in Miami, Dan Marino is one of the most prolific quarterbacks of all time and spent his entire NFL career with the Dolphins and Jason Taylor established himself as one of the best pass-rushers ever during his time with the franchise.
Former head coach Tony Dungy and former running back Curtis Martin don't have as strong of connections to the Dolphins, but they are highly respected figures around the league.
Ross also went on to praise head coach Joe Philbin for how he has handled the entire situation, but as Rapoport pointed out, he curiously didn't mention general manager Jeff Ireland:
Often, you can speak volumes by what you don't say. Nothing from #Dolphins owner Steve Ross on GM Jeff Ireland. Did support Joe Philbin— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 11, 2013
It appears that Ireland may be a target of the NFLPA according to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post:
NFLPA boss De Smith just did his best to nuke Jeff Ireland, telling ESPN: "Certainly, we know the history of this GM with other issues."— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) November 12, 2013
Whether that might be a foreshadowing of things to come is unknown at this point, but either way, Ross seems to have a strong hold on what has been a difficult situation.

• Rodriguez: Backup defensive lineman Ferrara will replace Zirbel on offensive line
With an offensive line already thinned by graduation and an off-season transfer, the University of Michigan football team sustained another blow early in training camp when right guard Cory Zirbel went down with a knee injury that coach Rich Rodriguez said on Wednesday might sideline him the entire season.
Enter John Ferrara, a 6-foot-5-inch, 280-pound redshirt sophomore from New York, who was slotted to be a backup at defensive tackle. Ferrara had never played on the offensive line before, never really blocked anyone.
Yet two weeks before the University of Michigan's season opener against Utah, Ferrara was asked if he would consider switching from one side of the ball to the other. The answer was yes, and in just a few days on offense, he has made substantial progress despite his inexperience.
"He's such a smart guy and competitive guy, we've really been impressed with him," Rodriguez said.
"I think it's a good move, and I think he's going to be battling for a starting job, maybe at guard, by the first game.
Ferrara said he's soaking up all the coaching advice he can, and he's getting tips from right tackles Steve Schilling and Perry Dorrestein, who have whispered instructions to him - when needed - before the snap.
"In high school on offense I only played tight end, I only caught passes, I didn't do a lot of blocking," he said. "So there's really a lot of technique stuff I have to learn. The entire offense, basically."
On the plus side, Ferrara said he hashe's got a prettygood understanding of what offensive linemen want to accomplish because of his experiences trying to get around them.
"Over the last two years I've been watching what they do and watching how they go about their stuff," he said. "The learning curve isn't too big for me. It's relatively small, and I can pick things up pretty quick."
If Ferrara proves he's ready to start by the Utah game, then David Moosman could slide back to center, where he was expected to play before Zirbel's injury. If not, then Moosman will likely fill the right guard position, and redshirt freshman David Molk will be the center.
Either way, Ferrara's 11th-hour move to offense should be a bonus for a line that returns a single starter.
"John's a great kid," offensive line coach Greg Frey said. "Anybody that's willing to put his personal stuff aside for the team, you've gotta love that. And you love coaching a kid like that. He's a tough kid, he gets after it."
And no matter what position he plays, staying aggressive won't be an issue, Ferrara added.
"Coach Frey is looking for us to go after guys and knock people out," he said. "That's fine with me."
Injury updates
Rodriguez said he'll know more about Zirbel's prognosis when the player has arthroscopic surgery ... Backup offensive lineman Mark Huyge is "week by week" after suffering a high ankle sprain, Rodriguez said ... Freshman slot receiver Terrence Robinson "tweaked his knee," the coach added, and will be out a few weeks ... Starting cornerback Donovan Warren didn't practice Wednesday for precautionary reasons, Rodriguez said ... Running backs Carlos Brown and Brandon Minor, both of whom had been slowed by minor injuries, fully participated in practice.

This phase of Viet Nam's BREES activities includes a teacher training programme to build teacher capacities to enhance students' knowledge on key sustainability challenges, and an initiative that will take Education for Sustainable Development into informal and non-formal education through awareness raising sessions on climate change and biodiversity issues in Community Learning Centres (CLCs) for parents and local community members.
The experience will contribute to MOET's curriculum reform by showcasing best practices of behavioural change in students through the implementation of practical projects that involve awareness raising and that are in line with actions identified by the community as priorities.
Opening the kick-off meeting, Dr. Nguyen Hoang Tri, MAB Secretary-General, presented on results achieved through the previous BREES phase, implemented in Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve. The Youth Awards initiatives resulted in: planting over 1,200 m2 of mangroves; beekeeping for honey production; waste recycling; planting of trees and awareness raising of the endangered langur species.
Nguyen Viet Hung, Vice Chairman of Nam Dinh Provincial People's Committee highlighted the importance for biodiversity conservation and sustainability initiatives and commended the approach of BREES, especially in education, to raise awareness from a young age, leading to good behavior in the future. He called for the local Department of Education and Training to support project activities for their successful implementation.
In her remarks, Katherine Muller-Marin, UNESCO Representative to Viet Nam, emphasized: "This project will have benefits far beyond Nam Dinh Province and the Red River Delta. It will provide inputs for national policy level, especially contributing to Viet Nam's curriculum reform, and will be shared as an example within the ASEAN community. The results of this project will also be a concrete contribution towards the production of open license e-learning courses that UNESCO and the Ministry are working on for teacher training on biodiversity conservation and climate change which will be made available to all teachers in Viet Nam".
Local authorities and UNESCO representatives visited all participating schools to meet with students, teachers and principals.

When your friend says, "I do," please don't Tweet about it.
So says etiquette experts with www.weddingchannel.com, which recently released rules to help guests navigate the dos and don'ts of how to handle social medial and today's weddings.
In the website's "Ultimate Wedding Guest Guide," experts say it's not appropriate to post a Facebook status that complains about how much you hate your bridesmaid's dress. It's just best to keep that nugget to yourself.
Here are some more tips:
*Don't give a minute-by-minute update of someone's wedding on Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare. And, don't announce a couple's engagement on a social media outlet until you check with the couple to make sure its OK. They may have told only a few friends about the engagement and want to tell others on their on time.
*Think twice before immediately posting photos you snapped at the reception or wedding. According to a weddingchannel.com poll, 40 percent of brides said posting photos online without permission was their biggest digital wedding complaint. And, don't even think about posting unflattering wedding pictures or a risque bachelorette party video.
*Unless the bride said to RSVP on Twitter, don't do it. Chances are that she'll want you to RSVP via mail. Putting an RSVP on her Facebook wall may alienate her other "friends" who weren't invited.
Go to http://weddings.weddingchannel.com/wedding-guests.aspxfor more tips on how to keep you digitally connected and on the good side of the bride when the big day arrives.

President Obama's Jobs Czar, Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of General Electric, Immelt, closed his last U.S. plant making light bulbs in Virginia and opened a plant in China to manufacture more expensive light bulbs that Americans will be forced to buy. General Electric also opened a $61 million factory in Vietnam to produce wind turbine components. General Electric and the President's Jobs Council, headed by Immelt, received over $1.2 billion in Stimulus funds. General Electric placed an order with an American wind turbine manufacturer, ATI Casting, but then canceled it in order to get the parts cheaper from China. ATI offered to match the Chinese price, but GE refused to reinstate its order to the U.S. company, so ATI was forced to lay off over 300 American workers.
Obama promised that he would "invest $15 billion a year in renewable energy sources to create 5 million new energy jobs over the next decade -- jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced." Obama painted the picture of a future in which Americans will build solar panels, wind turbines and a new electricity grid. The trouble is, foreigners can make those things cheaper than we can.
Obama proclaimed his goal to put one million electric cars on the road by 2015, then set up a $2.4 billion Stimulus program to support battery production. But nearly half that money went to foreign firms, including two South Korean companies that used their grants to hire foreign nationals in Michigan to do work that Americans could have done. We surely don't see many electric cars on the road. After receiving a $500 million U.S. loan guarantee, Fisker Automotive is producing its $100,000 luxury electric sports car in Finland. Tomorrow I'll give you more examples of the way your tax dollars are being spent to provide jobs overseas instead of to Americans.

There was so much written about Jim Veltman the last week that I had a difficult time trying to think of something to say about him that wasn't said already (many times).
Jim Veltman: One More Time
Everybody knows of his humanitarian work, his leadership skills, and his relationship with the fans. In fact, I think that part of the reason fans are so endeared to him is that his humble quiet demeanor is so unlike the "jock" stereotype.
Throughout his last Toronto Rock game on Sunday many Jim Veltman tributes were played on the jumbo screen. They were from former teammates, opponents, and most talked about what a great guy Jim Veltman is. One was from Glenn Clark and I totally agree with his observation that Jim Veltman's competitiveness is sometimes overlooked. Jim is great humanitarian but the reason that I like to celebrate his career is not because of his contributions off the floor. It's for what he did on the floor.
Veltman is way more than the sum of his parts. He is a perfect example as to why you should never pick a team without scrimmages or games. Just imagine an unknown Jim Veltman trying out for a team. He's too skinny. He doesn't shoot that hard. He's doesn't have Tavares-like fakes. OK, he's dominating the loose ball drills but he looks so awkward at times. He'd probably get killed in games. How wrong.
If you're a coach - in any sport - please think of Veltman before you cut a player based on "skills." A friend of mine just told me his son was cut from a hockey team at a tryout that only included skating drills. I wonder if the coach missed a potential "Veltman." Veltman might be the best competitor this league has ever seen. Believe me, he couldn't play you a game of darts without trying to get in your head. Within the context of a game he is all about winning and will do what is necessary to get there. I'm disappointed the way his season ended. This was only the second time that he has missed the playoffs in his NLL career and I know that hurts him deeply. That's not the way it should have ended.
I'll choose a different memory when I think of Veltman. It was the 2003 championship game in Rochester, a game in which I covered for Roger's Sportsnet. Toronto had never won at the Blue Cross Arena and Veltman willed his team to an 8-6 victory with dominance all over the floor. He killed penalties, set up shorthanded goals, scored goals and made incredible dives for looseballs. This is not a shot at Bob Watson, who was brilliant between the pipes, but Veltman was robbed of the MVP -- probably because the selection was made by someone who simply read the game sheet (which missed an assist or two). Even without looking at the game sheet, you have to recognize when one player is capable of taking over a game and owning it like Veltman did so many times in his career.
You won't ever see that greatness by watching drills.

WARREN -- George Marriner Maull, artistic director of the Discovery Orchestra, will entertain older adults at the Warrenbrook Senior Center, located at 500 Warrenville Rd., at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 17.
Emmy-nominated public television personality, Maestro Maull will charm the Warrenbrook Senior Center audience as he helps them to really listen to and appreciate the nuances of "Stars & Stripes" by John Philip Sousa. During the program Maestro Maull will encourage audience participation as he plays musical selections on piano and CD-ROM. This is George Marriner Maull's fourth performance at the senior center.
In his autobiography, Marching Along, Sousa writes that he composed the march on Christmas Day 1896. He had just learned of the recent death of David Blakely, then manager of the Sousa Band. Sousa was on a ferry in Europe at the time, and he composed the march in his head. He committed the notes to paper on arrival in America. Although he would conduct performances of it at virtually every concert until his death, only one recording, made in 1909, is known to survive today.
To make a lunch reservation, contact the senior center by 10:30 a.m. at least one business day in advance. A suggested lunch donation of $1.50 is recommended for individuals age 60 and older. The cost of lunch for those under 60 years old is $5.35.
The Warrenbrook Senior Center, one of seven centers operated by the Somerset County Office on Aging, is accessible to individuals with disabilities. The senior center offers a variety of educational, recreational and entertaining activities for seniors, including wellness programs and health screenings.
For more information or to register, contact Manager Gwen Chalker, Warrenbrook Senior Center, at 908-753-9440.

UPPER NAPPAN – Pets can get on the nerves when they constantly bark and meow to go outside, especially when it's too cold.
"Lot's of times they're smarter than we are," said Marilyn Williams with a laugh. "But in that situation you have to let them whine and cry and scratch or whatever they do at the door because you have to be the responsible person."
Williams is the president at the Lillian Albon Animal Shelter in Upper Nappan.
"The cold is the main thing to be concerned about at this time of year, so we certainly recommend animals are kept inside, except to go out and do their business," said Williams. "My motto is go out and have a pee, a poop and a swoop. The pet goes out, takes care of business and swoops right back in."
She also says it's a good idea to accompany your dog when they go outside.
"If a dog is elderly, a lot of older dogs are arthritic or have bad joints, so it's important to go outside with them," she said. "If you send them out by themselves and they fall or slip they're probably going to do a lot of damage to themselves because they are old and it's easy for them to fall and hurt themselves. It's the same with older people."
When taking dogs for a walk in cold weather, Williams recommends a shorter walk.
"Also, a good idea is to put Vaseline on the pads of their feet because when they come in it makes it easier to wipe their feet off," said Williams. "Salt can be very dangerous, so it's important to wipe their feet off."
Clothing is a good idea as well.
"If they're shorthaired they should have a sweater or jacket when they're outside," she said. "A lot of people think if they're longhaired, like a husky, that they can stay out for 24 hours. That's not true. Dogs are not equipped to be out in really, really cold temperatures."
Pets who spend a lot of time outside should be provided with a shelter.
"Number one, it has to be really, really well insulated, and it needs to have a covering over the door so the wind and snow doesn't blow in," said Williams. "It needs some nice warm straw and blankets but, even at that, people don't understand, when a dog goes out that door he's dragging all that moister back in with him. He lays down and everything gets damp, so he's not as warm as you might think he is."
Animal cruelty charges were laid against a man in North Preston this week after his dog was found frozen to death inside its doghouse in late December. The body of the dog was frozen to the floor of its doghouse. The dog died of malnutrition and hypothermia.
"Putting an animal out 24/7 or even half of the day is not a way to treat a family pet, especially under extreme conditions," said Williams. "People say, 'oh well, it's fine to leave a dog out for 24 hours and not bring them in the house,' but they still call it a family pet.
"This pet is, supposedly, part of your family," she added. "Would you put a family member outdoors in the freezing cold for hours on end?"
Williams encourages people to call the SPCA if they see a dog tied up outside 24/7.
"Keep calling. Don't call once. Call six times if you have to," she said. "Keep calling until somebody goes to check the situation out."
Another hazard to be aware of during the winter is antifreeze spilled on the ground.
"If your animals are out roaming, you never know if they are going to encounter antifreeze," said Williams. "It's a terrible, terrible death, so that's another reason to keep your dog at home."
Cats on top of car engines are another problem.
"A lot of the strays are out looking for warm places to go. They love to get up under the hood of your car near the engine after you have been out somewhere," said Williams. "You should always bang on your hood before you start up your vehicle because, many times, there's an animal under there trying to stay warm."
The L.A. Animal Shelter has many pets available for adoption and is open during the winter Wednesday to Sunday from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

LSU delivered one of its most impressive weeks of the 2013 season last week with four wins in four games, bolstered by a three-game sweep of Florida. That kept the Tigers in the elite ranks in the weekly rankings that were unveiled Monday, but not any higher than they were before.
With North Carolina playing only one game and Vanderbilt taking care of business against South Carolina, those two teams remained above LSU in the rankings. The Tigers, who lead the country with 43 victories, are third in the USA Today (coaches), Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America and PerfectGame.org polls, and No. 4 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers rankings, with Cal State Fullerton also above LSU.
The Tigers (43-6, 19-5 SEC) are closing in on the regular-season record for victories -- 46, which was how many the 1986 team piled up before the postseason. The 1997 team won 45 games. Those two teams, along with the 2009 national championship teams. The 1997 team holds the record for total wins at 57, followed by the 2009 club with 56.
