Colorado delegation remains deeply divided on immigration reform
By Allison Sherry
Denver Post
August 4, 2013
As Congress heads home for a five-week summer break, the evolving and contrasting views of Colorado's seven House members on comprehensive immigration reform illustrate why an overhaul may be an impossible feat in this Congress.
Three of the four Republicans — Reps. Cory Gardner, Doug Lamborn and Scott Tipton — are noncommittal about supporting a path to citizenship or legal status for those who are here illegally, including the children they have brought with them, the so-called DREAMers.
The three prefer, instead, taking on immigration in bite-size chunks that could take years to accomplish: independently certified border security first, then perhaps the build-out of a guest worker program.
And Rep. Mike Coffman, an Aurora Republican in the political fight of his life, has lengthy and pricey qualifications to his pledge to bring a comprehensive immigration bill that includes legal status for the 11 million people who are here illegally.
Then there are the three Democrats, all of whom are pushing for a plan that includes a way for those here illegally, but who otherwise are following the laws, to become citizens.
Two of them, Reps. Ed Perlmutter and Diana DeGette, say they have little appetite for the piecemeal approach endorsed by Republican leadership.
What does this portend for the next five weeks?
Fireworks, according to immigrant-rights advocates who are already preparing an August onslaught in Colorado's four Republican-led Congressional districts to try to get them to change their minds.
Coffman is at the top of their list. He faces one of the most competitive races in the country next year to keep his seat thanks, in part, to a new district composed of 20 percent Latinos. Previously the third-term congressman had opposed any pathway to citizenship or the so-called Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. But he now says his new district has inspired him to evolve his views on immigration.
At a meeting on July 28 at the St. Pius X Catholic Parish in Aurora, in front of hundreds of constituents, Coffman read — in Spanish — a speech that called for a pathway to citizenship following a long list of qualifications that included first achieving certified border security.
But when pressed by immigrant advocates, the congressman answered "yes" to questions about whether he would work to pressure House leadership to bring a comprehensive immigration bill — with a path to citizenship — to the House floor by Sept. 30.
Coffman further agreed to "enter into conversations" with his Colorado GOP colleagues about the issue.
Immigrant advocates later trumpeted Coffman's affirmative answers and cast them as an embrace of immediate reforms that included legal status.
Asked about these statements, Coffman emphasized that there were certain requirements that needed to be met before anyone started on a pathway to citizenship.
"The borders would have to be secure and our laws enforced, as certified by an entity outside of the executive branch, before anyone can achieve a permanent legal status," he said in an e-mail.
The process of independent certification of border security could take years.
Gardner and Tipton, too, said they were eager to have a conversation about those here illegally — but they want to see a certifiable border security plan first.
"At that point, you can have the discussion about everything else," Gardner said. "There are people who call every day who don't want a pathway to citizenship."
Tipton agreed.
"The first step must be verifiable border security," he said. "The second step is to get a verifiable guest worker program."
He said he wants these two pieces of reform passed before adopting any sort of DREAM Act, which he hopes to approach with "empathy."
Lamborn declined to talk last week about the DREAM Act, saying he wanted to hear from his constituents first. He has never supported a DREAM Act and has said he does not support comprehensive immigration reform.
The Senate passed a bill in late June that overhauls the visa system, throws $46 billion to securing the border and furnishes a 13-year path to citizenship for those living illegally in the United States.
GOP leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives has said they won't take up the Senate bill.
Gardner said he was disappointed there have been no House votes so far on immigration.
"I think it's important from a good-faith position to say we really are serious about it," he said. "I thought the first eight months of this year presented us with a pretty good window of opportunity. ... There's always a possibility of nothing happening, but I think that's the worst outcome."
Meanwhile, the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition has a handful of events — voter registration drives, rallies, vigils — scheduled in Republican districts in August to prove constituent support for a path to citizenship.
"We have clergy all over the state, and we're asking faith leaders to call the congressman," said Miguel Oaxaca, a Denver small-business owner working with Together Colorado, a community organizing group working on immigration reform. "We're going to keep the pressure on so he keeps his promise."
Reps. DeGette and Perlmutter said taking immigration reform on in a series of smaller bills is not ideal.
"Everybody agrees that any sovereign country needs to have secure borders, but the question is what does that mean?" said DeGette, of Denver. "I don't support a piecemeal approach."
Perlmutter, of Jefferson County, agreed.
"Immigration will continue to be an issue until Congress fixes our broken immigration system," he said.

Tube worms cluster around a newly discovered hydrothermal vent.
Perspective view of the newly discovered hydrothermal vent field in the Gulf of California, created using sonar data collected by MBARI's seafloor mapping AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle), the "D. Allen B." Blues and greens indicate deeper water. The yellow line encircles one of the newly discovered hydrothermal vent chimneys.
This deep-sea hydrothermal vent was one of many recently discovered in the Gulf of California by a team of scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). The water from some of these vents is at least 300 degrees Celsius (570 degrees Fahrenheit). The "black smoke" emanating from this chimney is mineral grains that form upon mixing of hydrothermal fluids and the near-freezing seawater.
Several photos stitched together show one of the largest hydrothermal vent chimneys that Clague's team discovered. Chimneys like this one, which is over 20 meters tall, grow when minerals precipitate around the vent opening.
These large tubeworms can grow to over 1 meter (three feet) long, and contain bacteria that help them live off of chemicals flowing out of the hydrothermal vents. Small fish, crabs, and limpets (dark spots) live among the tubeworm colonies, creating an impressive deep-sea ecosystem.
This cluster of galatheid crabs was photographed crawling over the husks of dead tubeworms at a formerly active hydrothermal vent. These crabs are related to the famous "Yeti crab," which was found in a deep-sea hydrothermal area in the Southern Pacific. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents typically remain active for a few years before dying out. When this happens, the tubeworms and most of the vent animals die out or leave the area.
We know more about the surface of Mars, the axiom goes, than our own planet's ocean floor. This surprising truth has opened the introductory sections of many a grant proposal hawking exploratory investigations of the deep sea. Yet most oceanographic research focuses on previously discovered sites, pursuing new questions, or applying different instruments.
So it's a rare treat for a scientist to venture into the true unknown, to follow hunches and deploy a formidable arsenal of instruments to undiscovered locations. Such was the fortune of David Clague and his gang of enterprising scientists aboard the Western Flyer as they set sail for the Gulf of California in February, exploring unseen stretches of the seafloor and, possibly, sniffing around for unknown hydrothermal vents. Clague, a Senior Scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, served as chief scientist, while a coterie of geophysicists, geochemists and the ship's crew deployed instruments and monitored results.
The Western Flyer was headed to the Alarcón Rise, a 50-kilometer-long stretch of the southern Gulf of California where two tectonic plates are moving apart. These geological environments often exhibit volcanic activity, so there was reason to believe vents might be nearby, but even after narrowing the search zone to 200 square miles, it was still like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Clague had been down this road before. Nearly a decade ago, Clague and his colleague Robert Vrijenhoek searched the Alarcón in vain for hydrothermal vents, using low-resolution regional maps to identify promising dive sites. But as they scoured the area via real-time video link to a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), all they saw was the dusty gray sediment, black rock, and occasional fish typical of the common seafloor.
This time, however, the team used high-resolution sonar maps that had been generated just two weeks earlier by the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) D. Allan B. "In the configuration we generally use," Clague says, "the multibeam sonar has a 20-cm vertical resolution and a 1-m lateral resolution." Higher resolution — up to 5 cm — can be attained by flying closer to the seafloor, but that invites other risks. "That is dangerous in rough volcanic terrain," like that of Alarcón, cautions Clague. "As it was the AUV crashed into the bottom on six different occasions because the bottom was even rougher than the prior low-resolution data suggested."
Luckily, the D. Allan B. survived, and this fortuitous bit of instrument scheduling produced results: With the enhanced detail, the team found that possible vent structures protruded from the seafloor like, well, needles.
Clague and his team fired up the ROV and moved in for a closer look. Their suspicions proved correct, as they found billowing hydrothermal vents, black cloud oases teeming with tubeworms and ghostly crabs. "Most structures that we visited turned out to be inactive former vent sites, but two areas — including where we went first — were active and emitting hot mineral-laden water." One of the active vents was a 20-meter-tall monster, a sign of extended hydrothermal activity at the site.
Hydrothermal vents have been surveyed before, of course, but Clague maintains that the Alarcón field is different. "They are located in the middle of a gap along the ridge system over 700 kilometers long where no hydrothermal vents had been found," he says. "The biology at the nearest two sites — Guaymus Basin to the north and 21°N on the East Pacific Rise to the south — are quite different, so this is an exciting intermediate site for the biologists."
Having confirmed that spikey protrusions are actually vent structures, the maps allow the team to develop quantitative measures and spatial trends of past hydrothermal activity. The MBARI expedition may also have set a new standard for vent mapping and exploration through its coordinated use of the D.Allan B.'s impressive sonar mapping system and follow-up ROV dives. "We did not find any chimneys the AUV did not image," Clague says, "and all of the features we interpreted as chimneys turned out to be chimneys."

Johan Djourou expects Arsenal to bounce back in a positive fashion following Saturday's defeat against Blackburn Rovers.
The Swiss defender replaced Bacary Sagna in the second half at Ewood Park on Saturday but could not prevent the hosts coming from behind to win 4-3 on a disappointing afternoon for Arsène Wenger's side.
Arsenal now face Shrewsbury Town in the Carling Cup on Tuesday before hosting Bolton in the Premier League next weekend and Djourou wants to the players to respond in the right way.
"When you lose, it is always important to have a response," he told Arsenal Player. "Even if it is at home in the Carling Cup, we want to win so we need a big response on Tuesday.
"We have to bounce back because we have another game and we have to be ready for those. We are disappointed but there is still a long way to go and things are not over yet.
"We had many chances to put the game to bed in the first half and, when you don't do that, you are always in danger of getting punished. I think that is what happened on Saturday.
"The team is building together and we are getting stronger together," he added. "We could have won the game but this team has got a lot of potential and we have to work hard to be the best."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by shan, Oct 31, 2011.
at the title!
Who's on time!!
Not the east coast. We're about 20 minutes late. I was fascinated to watch .06 seconds require 10 minutes to play. And, one team had already won the game. I'd have just quit and gone to take a nice hot shower.
We're on!
Damn, I wish that I had remembered the Invisibles were the last pair before I picked them!
Oh, look. The producers remembered the Invisibles.
rfisher I like the way you think w/ regard to giving it up to take a nice hot shower!!! When it's over, it's over!
I was just thinking that.....it' an omen....
at the running of tobacco! Do we have any all female teams left?
I hate to say it, but it would help my prediction game for Dad/Zac to go tonight (either them or Ma/Pa which would be : )
Poor Ma/Pa and NFL stuck in cabs. Could be red herring but usually not good.
I love Ma and Pa. "When it's time to cut the hay, it's time to cut the hay."
And I'm laughing at the sibs getting excited about the smell of tobacco b/c their dad smokes!
when he-invisible was pushing those bales and was labeled Jeremy. I just kept thinking who.
I can't sew but that toy truck doesn't look much fun either...
Why is a big NFL player having problems with the bales? Come on Marcus, move it.
I never realized that Wendy's was named after a real Wendy! (I know it sounds completely random, but I just saw a commercial...)
Wasn't that Dave Thomas's daughter? Don't ask me how I know that.....my answer is as random as your question.
NFL talking like a man eliminated. Good for my picks but still.
Hehe at Dad Sutherland stabbing himself.
You are right!!
at she Invisible asking the kids if they had a good day at school! Is she helping her partner at all??
I forgot all about the Express Pass. If I did, I wonder how many of the racers forgot, too.
Well, that brings a new meaning to BYOB.
"You can't cry about it. Get another truck."
(((Invisibles))) They're even invisible when it comes to getting transportation.
((((NFL)))) Dead cab.
Really not their day. Could there still be another NEL?
In this case, I hope so. I really like them.
Boarders benefit from Sibs failure to pay. 4th win for them.
at Cindy trapped under her bed.
Wow, the boarders get another prize b/c another team didn't follow the rules.
and this was a doctor who didn't read the clue?
Do you think that Ernie was tempted to just leave Cindy in bed "jail"?

Too many errors, outdated
By Marek
from Danmark
Comments about oreilly Learning Android:
I have some years of java, c and c++ experience and decided to take a peek at the android. The book gives nice overview of the principles behind android, but that kind of informatin can be found in many android tutorials online.Somewhere mid-way into the book author clearly got too focused on the final view, that he neglected the mid steps - resulting in code that often refuses to work and you have to go to errata page hoping something is explained there.You need to download a jar file from given repository, problem is - there is no jar file... If someone has not seen much java in the past they might have a prblem repackaging everything into a jar.The book uses eclipse - nice for old timers, but google is now recommending the android studio - there are multiple differences and android studio is a pain for eclipse users.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Easy to follow, too many errata, no Play
By jonaskinny
from Redondo Beach, CA
About Me Developer
Oreilly books have always been my favorite. This one tries, but with so many code errors, assumptions on imports (I'm command-line vs. Eclipse but still too many assumptions), partial code listings vs. the entire class, too much time is wasted fixing the author's errors. The lack of publishing to the Android Play Marketplace is a glaring shortcoming. Even just a bullet pointed list of steps to publish would have been warranted.

I am new to Android programming and picked this book up. Because Android has moved on past Gingerbread there are coding examples in the book that do not work and it is difficult to find answers / work-arounds.If you are looking for a good beginner's book try to find one that is more current, or at least the autor and publisher is trying to keep current work-arounds easily available.

Great to understand the whole system
By Jernfrost
from Oslo, Norway
Great book for understanding the whole Android system. The example application is well thought out because it allows the author to cover all the different aspects of Android development in a natural way. I also liked that the book isn't that thick. It is quite to the point and you can learn a lot fairly quickly. It is good at showing the big picture.The downside from my point of view compared to iOS books I have read (I am new to Android) is that is very lacking in describing the UI. After reading this book I have very limited knowledge about how you can create a nice looking and sophisticated GUI. I really just know really basic stuff like lists, buttons and text fields.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Like having an experienced mentor
By Scott
from Houston, TX
About Me Java Developer
I have been wanting to learn how to develop for Android for over a year now. I just didn't know where to start. I poked around the Android Web site, but even that seemed overwhelming. I just needed someone to show me the ropes about how to get started, then I could run with it.Marko Gargenta has done that for me. His book, "Learning Android", is a 200+ page tutorial covering all of the most essential areas of Android development. The sample application is well chosen - a simple Twitter-like front end. This covers user interface, networking, internal services, security, and data storage - most things you will want to know when getting started. What I most appreciated was that he doesn't just walk you through the steps of how to create the different parts of the app. He walks you through a development discipline using best practices: what order things should be done, how to structure support files, etc. He is like an experienced mentor helping you to do things the right way from the beginning.Things change fast in Android technology, so some of what he describes has changed since the book was published. For instance, he starts by walking you through setting up your development environment. Having a completely clean system, I tried to follow his instructions, but got stuck when I didn't have an Android Virtual Device defined yet. So I poked around and figured out how to make that work. Then I noticed that the AVD Manager was described in the next section. I learned to read ahead and be flexible regarding changes to the development environment in the rest of the tutorial.In addition to the tutorial, he gives a nice introduction to using system services, with the code described in helpful detail. He also gives a quick overview of the Android Interface Definition Language, and even a nod to the Native Development Kit.One notable oversight is that there is no discussion about how to post your app to the Google App Market. Since the subtitle for the book is, "Building Applications for the Android Market", I found the omission surprising.In short, the book provides an excellent introduction to the Android platform and development tools, and a good development methodology. For anyone new to Android development, this would be a great place to start.

Android development startup
By Eugen Cojocaru
from Sibiu, Romania
About Me Developer, Educator
Learning AndroidBuilding Applications for the Android MarketMarko GargentaO'Reilly Media, 2011268 pages978-1-449-39050-1 This book's scope is to offer an overview of Android platform and set fundamental knowledge in order to start developing platform oriented applications. The author describe this book as being the result of observations during multiple training courses and a "perfect way to master the fundamentals".Author's experience in training people makes him one of the most recomanded person to create a book like this. His approach using the step by syep presentation and examples is the perfect way to achieve the main objective: learn how to build applications for Android market. Along with the details regarding Android platform and how to build applications for it, one of the book's objective is to follow the development of a social networking application (Twitter like). The development is also made step by step creating new modules and features in each chapter. Source code pieces are well highlighted, followed by explanations and together with screenshots and diagrams facilitates a lot the study process and also the development of the training application. The way this book "is gluing" the technical parts without missing modules from the software development cycle, allows the reader to build an Android application from scratch to it's final form. The author makes a perfect transition from basic to more complex details and when you will finish the book you will realize that you have built an Android application and you have learned the fundamentals of developing applications for Android market without much effort.As an assessment of the book place in the literature of its subject, I consider this book to be among best publications in it's category for the targeted public. The information is structured in a way that makes the learning process much easier than other similar books. From the Java developer's point of view, I think the content of the book is easy to understand and I recommend it to everyone who would like to study the fundamentals of Android application development. Even that for a good understanding, the author is asking at least oriented programming skills, I belive that this should be used by intermediate developers in order to understand completely it's content.

By Ittichai C.
from Chicago, IL
As a consumer of both Android phone and tablet myself, I have an interest in learning about this platform and hopefully writing some applications on it. I've read many Android books before. Most cover a lot of topics but without coherence - you feel like you learn a lot about many things but you still can't put them together to make them work well. This book is one of the few books I really like. It walks you through creating a reasonably complex application from scratch. Not only the author explains the concepts and sample codes really well, but he also guides you through his thinking and design process on how to write a good application. The latter, I think, is more important for laying a good foundation for writing other applications in the future. The tips, suggestions, and notes throughout the book show you that Marko really understands what works and what does not.I highly recommend this book to everyone who has an interest in learning about programming on Android and would like to build a good foundation on good programming practices. People who know Java programming language should have no problem following the sample codes presented in the book. But for those who don't, I suggest getting yourself familiar with Java first. (Obviously if you don't plan to use any other mobile cross-platform or rapid development tools, you must write in Java codes.) Knowing it a bit will help you tremendously with understanding the sample codes. Needless to say, you can still pretty much read for concepts, tips, and even some codes because the explanation from the author is very precise and clear.It took me a longer time to finish this book because my plan is not to just read through it, but also write the sample application along with it. At the end I'm proud to say that I've successfully coded the Yamba application.

Great resource for Android developers!
By Nick Zimmerman
from Davenport, IA
About Me Designer, Developer, Maker
Learning Android by Marko Gargenta is a well-written guide for getting started developing Android applications. It is targeted at programmers that have some level of Java development experience, but you need not be a Java expert by any stretch to make good use of this book. As long has you have a fundamental understanding of Java programming, this book will serve as a great guide to developing Android applications.Even though many more advanced developers will not need the opening sections on choosing a development environment, these sections should be read by all. The information it contains on making your development environment efficient, and avoiding some frustrating pitfalls that can hamper even experienced developers is invaluable.The book does a great job of explaining the architecture and workings of the Android environment without getting sidetracked or being too technical. This straightforward approach to explaining the key concepts of the operating system and how it interacts with applications makes this book an invaluable reference for any programming working in the Android environment.The most helpful feature of the book is that it walks through developing a Twitter client application from concept to completion using practical software development techniques. You not only get the benefit of learning how to develop a robust Android application, but you learn to use iterative development to construct and improve an application.Marko Gargenta provides an amazing book that allows you to learn how to build Android applications while also learning how to make use of modern software development practices. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to develop and market Android applications.

Based one-day class on this book
By swCL
from Boston, MA
I chose to base the class on this book because it covered well almost all the aspects of the Android SDK/framework that I had found through trial-and-error on my own are very useful to know.Sure, there are shortcomings that I can cite, but there is now a sizable contribution from readers in the online Errata page (both confirmed and unconfirmed), so such 'first-edition' issues should become less and less of a consideration. I say that with some confidence since I've contributed a fair number of errata (unconfirmed) entries myself ;) I consider my developer level as intermediate, and I am entirely satisfied with the book. The demo app is just right, and was a great pedagogical tool in my learning journey with this book. The author is founder of a training company dedicated to open-source training, and his personal experience in having given boot-camp and corporate training sessions on the subject clearly shows in both the materials covered and the tips sprinkled in the book. You would not be left wondering 'where's the beef.'

Welcome to Android's world
By Michal Konrad Owsiak
from Poland
Developing Android based application is like any other development. You have to get tools, learn basics and explore the details of the API. Learning Android covers first two topics.First of all, you can get the overview of Android, what it does, who develops it and so forth. You can call it an overview from 9K feet height. After that you are explained how Android is organized and how all the system layers are organized. This is quite useful part because you can get the feeling what to expect when it comes to the API. Then you will be guided through the initial setup that allows you to develop Android based applications. This part is quite useful, because it allows you to get all the information required for preparing development environment. You will be, literally, lead step by step how to configure everything (at this point you can tell that Marko has some experience when it comes to providing people with tutorials - you are simply not able to go wrong here). One remark here. Marko doesn't mention that you have to set-up Android's SDK location before you proceed with "Hello world" example. In order to do this, you have to go to: Eclipse -> Preferences -> Android -> SDL Location and set proper SDK location. He also forgets to mention that after setting up ADT you have to go to: and install all the packages that are required for Android development.After you are ready to go with coding, there is a place for getting familiar with Android's API. Here, Marko provides you with information related to Various aspects of Android related development. In general, it's fine, but there is one drawback. Marko tries to provide you with the knowledge related to Android by conducting you basing on hypothetical application (Yamba). It means, that through out the book you will be hooked to this application and you will try to approach it from various perspectives: UI, database, services, etc. This kind of approach ha it's pros and cons. Pros are that you can get the feeling of real application being developed using technology you are interested in. Cons are: you are stick to example project through out whole book, you can't jump between topics without the overview of the example of application. I generally prefer "Cookbook" series where you are presented a solution for particular issue.What I have missed most in this book are: HTTP communication within Android apps, Web Service calls within Android based applications, description of Android Market.In general, this book is OK, but definitely not perfect. I missed lots of topics to be covered here. On the other hand, it has quite well prepared introduction to Android, initial set up and Android's basics. This way, you are provided everything that allows you to start developing Android applications.Stay tuned, I will update this post as soon as I read some other books on Android. I'll tell you then, whether this book can compete with others or not.

Old Testament in Byzantium
This symposium, designed to complement an exhibition of early Bible manuscripts at the Sackler Gallery of Art, examines the use of the Greek Old Testament as text, social practice and cultural experience in the Byzantine Empire. Not only are reminiscences of the Old Testament ubiquitous in Byzantine literature and art, but Byzantines revered and identified with Old Testament role models. The phenomenon has never received systematic investigation, despite the fact that this was the part of its tradition that Byzantium shared most widely with other cultures - not only its Christian neighbors, but Judaism and Islam.

Men's Soccer To Play Saturday at Wright State
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's soccer team takes to the road again on Saturday, traveling to Dayton to face Wright State in Horizon League competition.
The Phoenix is 7-4-3 overall and 2-1-1 in the conference this season, good for the fourth spot in the Horizon standings. Green Bay ended a two game skid with a 2-0 triumph over Detroit last Saturday at Santaga Stadium.
Green Bay leads the all-time series against the Raiders, 15-11-1. The series has been a streaky one, with the Phoenix winning three consecutive from 1999-2000, the Raiders winning four consecutive from 2001-2003, a string of seven unbeaten for the Phoenix from 2004-10, and Wright State claiming the last three meetings.
As a team, Green Bay ranks second in the Horizon League with 25 goals for the season. Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) leads the conference with 22 points and is tied atop of the Horizon League with nine goals. Those marks help him rank nationally in several categories, including total points (13th), total goals (15th), points per game (1.57, 16th) and goals per game (0.64, 21st). Lawrence Talery (Coon Rapids, Minn.) has a team-best five assists, good for third in the conference.
In net, Kyle Ihn (Wales, Wis.) has appeared in 11 of 14 matches for the Phoenix, posting a 1.81 goals-against average and a .701 save percentage. Also in the defensive third, Brandon Hall (O'Fallon, Mo.) helped the Phoenix post a shutout and also netted the game winner against Detroit en route to being named the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
SCOUTING THE RAIDERS: Roster Schedule Stats
Wright State enters the weekend 3-8-1 overall and 1-3-0 in the conference. After starting the month of October with a win against IUPUI the Raiders have gone winless since, dropping four consecutive matches. The squads' last two matches have been decided in double overtime, including a 1-0 non-conference loss to Bowling Green on Tuesday.
Brett Elder leads the team with 13 points on six goals and one assist, while teammate Eric Lynch has a team best six assists, good for second in the Horizon League. Tyler Blackmer has started the last seven matches and appeared in eight total matches for the Raiders, posting a 1.41 goals-against average with a .766 save percentage.

i am considering building a new AR carbine most likely in the m4/forgery type.
but there are so many ways of building a AR carbine--
you have the standard m4 with the 14.5 barrel ( yea i know if needs a permanent flash hider to add up to 16+inches for the law. or SBR paperwork)
the civilian m4 with the 16 inch barrel,
the 16 inch carbine with heavy barrel and regular carbine stocks.
and lastly the 16inch barrel with the mid-length gas tube and longer thiner plastic.
the question--which is the most reliable? and which is the most popular among AR folks?? or should i say--screw this and build one with a 20"???

Michael Woodley, AIA, leads a double life. An avid ice hockey fan, he has season tickets to see the Colorado Avalanche in Denver and the Mighty Ducks in Anaheim, Calif. He's an active member of the AIA and the Building Industry Association in Orange County, Calif., and he plays on an ice hockey team in Littleton, Colo., where he also coaches his 13-year-old daughter's soccer team. "For a long time, people didn't realize I wasn't living in California, and some still don't," says Woodley, whose firm, the Woodley Architectural Group, operates out of Littleton, Colo., and Costa Mesa, Calif. He moved his family from California to Colorado eight years ago and splits his time between the two offices, bouncing back and forth about three times a month.
While most architects probably don't think of themselves as full-fledged members of two communities, doing business in more than one place has become easier than ever. Thanks to cheap airfares and technology like BlackBerries, laptops, and networked offices, it matters less and less where architects with wide-ranging practices operate these days. Woodley happens to work for production builders all over the country, so the Colorado base puts him closer to his clients. Other architecture firms are setting up satellite shops to hone multiple specialties such as planning and mixed-use development or to take advantage of new markets.
But it's not just the large firms with a broad scope of services that are expanding their presence. Paralleling the baby boomer trend toward second homes, some small firms have a city office and a country office. And as architects increasingly compete for gifted employees, second—and third and fourth—locations get launched for reasons as basic as trying to attract top talent by giving them choices about where they want to live. In the new migratory pattern, satellite offices are ranging from 20 miles apart to hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.
Of course, being responsible for more than one office has its headaches. It means more overhead costs and administrative paperwork, not to mention accounting and management hurdles. And shuttling between locations can be expensive and time-consuming. "It's easier today than it was in the past," says Carson Looney, FAIA, founding partner of Looney Ricks Kiss, a Memphis, Tenn.-based firm with six offices in Florida, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas. Still, the time and effort must pay off. "If an office isn't self-sustaining, we'd shut it down," he says. "The only way we'd keep it open is if the office was serving an important client, or if the opportunity it was bringing to the rest of the firm outweighed its performance."
use it or lose it A surprising number of architects say that the main reason they open a branch office is to hang onto talented staff. Market opportunity often comes second. "We've found it very challenging over the last decade to find the team members we're looking for," Looney confirms. LRK's Nashville office was born after a stellar employee quit to move to Nashville. Sometime after the move, the former employee let it be known that he loved Nashville but wished he'd never left the firm. "We said, 'Why not stay and open an office there?'" Looney says. It was a similar story at Rosemary Beach, Fla. When one of the firm's long-time principals built a house there and decided he'd rather live on the beach, LRK gave the green light to branch out.
"We've learned never to open an office without having a principal-level person there," Looney says. "The Nashville office struggled for a year or two because we didn't have a principal who was well-versed in how we service our clients. Anyone who's licensed can open an office, but you have to do it right. We set budgets for it and plan on a year for it to make its way."
The prospect of losing a highly valued employee also prompted Vero Beach, Fla., architect Scott Merrill, AIA, Merrill, Pastor & Colgan Architects, to open an Atlanta branch in 1999. David Colgan, AIA, who heads up the two-person office, had worked for Merrill for five years when he took a break to help a former classmate build a winery on the West Coast. After Colgan returned to his hometown of Atlanta a year later, Merrill offered him a partnership, sweetening the pot by letting him stay put. "We've never had work in Atlanta, and I don't care if we ever have it," Merrill says. Colgan is kept busy on projects that aren't close to either office.
Merrill recognizes that although the firm's nationally acclaimed work on New Urbanist communities and luxury custom homes attracts young, single graduates, the sleepy town of Vero Beach may not meet their social needs. "In the future there might be others who start in Vero Beach and end up wanting to go to a bigger city as well," Merrill says. "It wasn't that expensive to open a small office. It's more expensive to lose the people we train."
going local The lengthening commute time to offices in sprawling metro areas has also helped fuel the trend toward decentralization. Some partners have left their urban offices behind, setting up a second shop in the outlying areas where they prefer to live. Russell Versaci, AIA, of Versaci Neumann & Partners, lives near Middleburg, Va., an hour-and-a-half drive on a good day from the firm's office in downtown Washington, D.C. As it turns out, two of the architects who've been with the firm the longest also live there. In 1989, six years after launching the practice, Versaci opened a second office near his home in the heart of Virginia hunting country. "Spending three or four hours in the car each day was pretty grueling," says founding partner David E. Neumann, AIA. "Opening the Middleburg office was a quality-of-life issue."
It's no coincidence that the bucolic Middleburg area is also rich in the traditional architecture Versaci Neumann is known for: gracious Colonial-era estates, farmhouses, and summer cottages. The partners had a number of projects under way there and felt that a local presence would be more convincing to prospective clients. Now, the rural office is twice the size of its urban counterpart, numbering eight architects and one marketing person to Washington, D.C.'s four architects and one business administrator. "We have had remarkable success in having long-term employees in the Middleburg office," Neumann says. "Everyone has a 10-minute to 15-minute drive through the Virginia countryside to get to the office. I can't imagine that the two people who became partners out there would have stayed with us had we [only] been in D.C."

text: Drove the truck up to Atlanta Saturday PM and went to Brunswick bowling center and parked it with a 6 x 10 enclosed trailer from 3PM - 7PM and had some fun time with my children. The following day, I realized I was missing a laptop bag and check book bag. The thing is, I noticed when I locked my truck with the remote, it locked but did not hear the horn. There was no visible forced entry damage from the doors and windows, My son found out that the engine compartment fusebox top cover was laying on the spare battery tray and the horn fuse was pulled, which explains the absence of the horn chirp when you lock the truck and activate the alarm, I was wondering how the thief entered the truck. Are these newer trucks easy to break into? Thanks.

As retirees from Boston, the owners of this Bourne, Massachusetts, home didn't want a formal garden. They wanted a place where they could find solace from the sun, pick herbs for soups and salads, and cut flowers to brighten their seaside rooms. That's what husband-and-wife landscape architects Daniel Solien and Kris Horiuchi gave them―a garden to remind them every day why they left the city.
For inspiration, Kris and Daniel looked to the property's late 19th-century Victorian home. "As someone raised in Los Angeles, what I find particularly striking about New England is the sense of history that is rooted in the architecture and land," says Kris, whose firm has offices on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. "The Victorian era tended to be fun and playful." So she and Daniel emphasized the casual and whimsical on this windswept bluff.
Their first order of business, however, was more practical. Atop a hill that slopes gradually down to the sheltered waters of Buzzards Bay, the home towers three and a half stories on the ocean side. "The house seemed to teeter," recalls Kris. "It cried out for some kind of solid connection to the ground."
The solution was to build a terrace, paved with bluestone and framed by an 18-inch-high wall that doubles as a bench. The sun-soaked area frequently distracts the homeowners from weed duty with its views of the harbor dotted with bobbing sailboats and tree-covered island tufts. Below, pink and white roses cascade from the bench down to the neatly manicured lawn.
As is often the case with oceanside properties, especially those in the rugged Northeast, this one didn't offer much protection from the elements. When they laid out the plan, Kris and Daniel took advantage of existing oak trees and mature lilac and privet hedges. They added another stone wall to this sheltered side of the house and created a shade garden. Buffered from onshore breezes, tender lady's mantle, astilbe, and gaura thrive beside the clients' vintage bench and a small pool and fountain.
"Designing gardens along the New England coast is a real challenge," Kris says. "In addition to the wind, salt air, and droughty soil, the season is short―around four months. We had to choose plants that seemingly know how to bloom on cue."
For this site, Kris and Daniel selected a palette of pastels that appear to have evolved expressly for Cape Cod's crisp blue skies and the home's weathered shingles. Clumps of lavender sprout from cutouts on the stone terrace, blue hydrangeas flourish against the house, and the pink roses provide additional color. To lighten up shady spots, the landscape architects mixed in subtle shades of silvery gray―Russian sage, lamb's ear, and thyme.
Because most of the plantings are seasonal, ornamental grasses became essential for year-round interest. Pennisetum,"a low grass with a bottlebrush flower head, and miscanthus, which is taller and has more of a plume, sway happily in ocean breezes. "Grasses are animated plants that respond well to the wind," says Kris. "They come up lovely and green in spring, sprout green flowers in summer, and turn a wonderful brown in fall and winter."
The most steadfast ornament, the garden shed, stands prominently in the cutting garden. Rumored to be a cupola that blew off the house during a hurricane, the dilapidated structure had just enough supports left to transform it into something useful. Though it would have been easier and less expensive to build a potting shed from scratch, the designers liked the shack's sense of history and playfulness. To convert it, they stripped away a couple of tacked-on additions, repaired damaged wood, and painted the trim pink. "It's a fun little building," Kris says. "You see the shed and this sweet little garden, and it makes you smile."
Outlined by a cedar picket fence, the 20- by 50-foot cutting garden is a riot of vegetables, herbs, and annuals tamed by a grid of raised beds and crushed-stone paths. A weathered wooden arbor, overcome with climbing roses and clematis, shades a rustic bench and frames a postcard view of the harbor. Tucked alongside the lawn, the space offers a pleasing bundle of contradictions: exposed and sheltered, functional and fantastical, expansive yet intimate. Kris says, "It's the heart and soul of our clients' outdoor life"―and a constant reminder that they've left city life behind.

Bolton Wanderers will become Arsenal's first Premier League opponents of 2009 when they visit Emirates Stadium on Saturday. When Arsène Wenger spoke to the press ahead of the encounter, perhaps unsurprisingly, transfer talk was high on the agenda.
Wenger lifted the lid on the latest developments in the Andrei Arshavin situation before turning his attention to Gary Megson's Wanderers.
He discussed:
- all the latest injury news
- the Andrei Arshavin situation
- his overall transfer plans
- Bolton Wanderers' quality
- their physical challenge
- the increase in quality throughout the Premier League
- his thoughts on Matthew Upson
- maintaining momentum

text: Shoulda taken the OT from Baylor #1. Instead we took a QB with no means to protect him. I absolutely LOVE our next pick in Pettigrew but we can't get him the ball if we don't have protection for the QB. With the next pick we took a S from WMU. I'm a Bronco alum and we need Defense so I like this pick but still no OT. Sooooooo, with our next pick we took the Tackle we need..........oh wait, I guess we need another wideout even more? I hate the Lions!

Living With
Dear Friends:
If you are reading this, it's probably because you or a loved one has just received a very bewildering diagnosis: mitochondrial myopathy. What is a mitochondrial myopathy, and what does the term mean? These are questions my wife, Jennifer, and I struggled with when our son, Michael, got his diagnosis.
Mitochondrial myopathies have many different faces. As this website describes, numerous varieties of mitochondrial diseases have been identified, with a complex array of symptoms. Some symptoms can be so mild that they're hardly noticeable, while others are life-threatening.
Michael's disease causes muscle weakness, muscle cramping, fatigue, lack of endurance and poor balance. You or your family member may have similar symptoms, yet each case is unique.
When we first learned that Michael had a mitochondrial myopathy, we naturally were very frightened and uncertain about the future. As time passed, we learned that we can do things we didn't think would be possible — we can adapt to the uncertainty, control the fear, cope with changes as they occur and still have a "normal," happy family life.
A few years after Michael's diagnosis, our lives were again turned upside down when my wife, Jennifer, learned she too had a mitochondrial disease. Jennifer's symptoms are more severe than Michael's; she experiences extreme muscle weakness, fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, respiratory problems and difficulty swallowing. She also requires a feeding tube, a ventilator and assistance with everyday tasks.
This website was prepared to help you understand the causes of and treatments for mitochondrial myopathies. We have found information to be a vital tool in managing Michael's and Jennifer's diseases, and achieving the best possible outcome.
From this website, you also may learn a few encouraging things. For example, although these are rare disorders, many of their symptoms are common in the general population, such as heart problems, seizures and diabetes. Therefore, good medical treatments already exist to help manage many symptoms.
Always remember that researchers are continually moving toward better treatments, and ultimately, cures for mitochondrial diseases. In addition, people with disabilities have greater opportunities than ever before to make the most of their abilities, as well as legal rights to equal employment opportunity and access to public places. Children with physical and cognitive disabilities are guaranteed by law a public education with whatever supports they need.
To us, Michael is not a victim of a disease or a syndrome, but a happy, loving, young man of whom we're very proud. We've discovered that no one can predict exactly how Michael's or Jennifer's cases will progress. We've been blessed to see Michael lead a normal life, earning his Boy Scout Eagle Award and being inducted into the National Honor Society. Now, he's in college and is making the Dean's List every semester. Michael has shown that having a mitochondrial disease doesn't necessarily keep you from accomplishing anything you set your mind to.
As we struggle to adapt to the changes in our lives since Jennifer's diagnosis, it's reassuring to know that MDA is there for us, assisting us with loans of medical equipment, equipment repairs, clinics, continuing research and just a friendly voice that understands what we are going through.
As you face the challenges ahead, we wish you the same blessing and the comfort of knowing that you are not alone.

Elvin Bishop
However, it wasn't until he won a National Merit Scholarship to the University of Chicago in 1959 that Bishop found the real answers to his questions. He found himself in the middle of the Chicago blues scene and immersed himself in the genre. After two years of college, Bishop dropped out and pursued music full-time, eventually meeting Howlin' Wolf's guitarist Smokey Smothers and learning the basics of blues guitar from him. In the early '60s, Bishop teamed up with Paul Butterfield helped form the core of the Butterfield Blues Band. Although he had only played guitar for a few years, he practiced frequently and played with Butterfield in just about every place possible, including campuses, houses, parks, and -- in the venue that helped launch the band -- Big John's on Chicago's North Side. Bishop also helped shape the sound of several Butterfield albums, including The Pigboy Crabshaw, whose title refers to Bishop's countrified persona.
In 1968, Bishop left Butterfield's band following the release of In My Own Dream. He launched a solo career and relocated to the San Francisco area, where he made frequent appearances at the Filmore with artists like Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers Band. Bishop recorded four albums for Epic Records and later signed with Capricorn in 1974. His recording of "Traveling Shoes" (from the album Let It Flow) made a dent on the charts, but the single "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" (from Struttin' My Stuff) made a bigger splash in 1976 when it peaked at number three on the Billboard charts. Over the next few years, the Elvin Bishop Group dissolved. He released his album Best Of in 1979 and laid low for several years, eventually resurfacing when he signed with the Alligator label in 1988.
Bishop then released Big Fun in 1988 and Don't Let the Bossman Get You Down in 1991, both of which were well-received. He also participated in Alligator's 1992 20th Anniversary cross-country tour; three years later, he toured with veteran bluesman B.B. King and released an album entitled Ace in the Hole. The Skin I'm In followed in 1998, and 2000's That's My Partner saw him teaming up with Smokey Smothers, the same musician who had originally taught him guitar. After a five-year hiatus, Bishop released Gettin' My Groove Back in 2005 via Blind Pig Records; he then jumped to the Delta Groove Music label for 2008's The Blues Rolls On, which featured guest spots by B.B. King, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and others. Red Dog Speaks (the title refers to his beloved red 1959 ES- 345 Gibson guitar), arrived in 2010, with the joyous and gritty Can't Even Do Wrong Right appearing in 2014. ~ Michael Erlewine & Steve Leggett

1. It's free. Two theater companies (Wooden O and Greenstage) means you can watch 4 free plays every summer, all while basking on the lawn nibbling dinner.
2. It's fun. This is not your pretentious, bloviating English teacher's Shakespeare. Taming of the Shrew set in a trailer park? Twelfth Night on Gilligan's Island? The Merchant of Venice performed in 1950's golf pants? To call it fresh is an understatement.
3. It's easy. If you think Shakespeare is unmitigatingly obtuse (difficult to understand)...well, who could blame you? But this summer's plays—especially Winter's Tale and Taming of the Shrew—are of a more linear sort. A pair of 12-year-old boys easily followed the plot of Winter's Tale last night, and there's enough comedy and horseplay thrown in to keep even been-there tweens entertained.
4. It's good for your brain. Shakespeare makes you smarter. He created more than 1,000 words we all still use, including: courtship, high-pitched, misquote, sanctimonious, unmitigated and zany. In Winter's Tale last night, someone actually exited pursued by a bear. And imagine the thrill of hearing "All the world's a stage," "To thine own self be true," and "The lady doth protest too much" go whizzing by in the mix of oddball Shakespearean language (It's all Greek to me.).
5. It's good for your community. You should go see Shakespeare in the park so that Shakespeare in the park will continue to exist. And the people-watching at these things is not half-bad. Also the picnic-basket watching, but that's another post entirely.

Robert Godhigh rushed for two touchdowns and caught a third for Georgia Tech. Jamal Golden returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score, and backup quarterback Vad Lee rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns and threw for a third.
The teams combined for 1,085 yards, 118 points - and just five punts - in surpassing the previous ACC record of 110 points set in Virginia's 63-47 victory over Tulane in 1968.
Georgia Tech outgained the Tar Heels 588-497 and set a school record for points in an ACC game, eclipsing its 63 against Wake Forest in 1998.
Bryn Renner threw two touchdown passes for the Tar Heels (6-4, 3-3).
Giovani Bernard and A.J. Blue each scored two touchdowns for North Carolina, which hadn't allowed this many points since Louisville hung 69 on them in 2005.
The Tar Heels pulled to 58-50 on Renner's 11-yard touchdown pass to Quinshad Davis and Tim Scott's 32-yard interception return on the first play of the fourth quarter. Orwin Smith followed that with a 22-yard touchdown run to put the Yellow Jackets up 65-50.
Chris Tanner kicked a 34-yard field goal to complete the scoring with 3:40 left.
Smith finished with 83 yards rushing and 39 yards receiving. Starting quarterback Tevin Washington tied former teammate Joshua Nesbitt's ACC record for quarterbacks with his 35th career rushing touchdown, a 25-yarder on his team's opening series.
Lee, a native of nearby Durham, N.C., took over on Georgia Tech's third offensive series, immediately led three straight scoring drives and played the rest of the way. He finished 6 of 10 for 169 yards passing.
David Sims added an 11-yard touchdown run for the Yellow Jackets, one of four Coastal Division teams - along with North Carolina, Miami and Duke - with three league losses.
Romar Morris had a 30-yard touchdown run for the Tar Heels, and Renner finished 24 of 35 for 350 yards with an interception.
The second half started with a bang: two touchdowns - one by each team - in a 34-second span.
Golden put the Yellow Jackets up 34-29 when he returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown. Bernard then took a short pass from Renner and broke two tackles while turning it into his longest career reception, a 78-yard score that briefly gave the Tar Heels a 36-34 lead.
Godhigh followed that with a 4-yard TD that put Georgia Tech ahead to stay. Tanner kicked a 35-yard field goal to make it 44-36.
Bernard, the ACC's leading rusher, became the first Tar Heel rusher since Natrone Means to crack 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons.

Lavender Memories
Mom used to tuck fresh lavender sachets under my pillow when she made up my bed with sheets fresh from the clothesline, windblown and full of sunshine. The feeling of the smooth white sheets and the delicious scent of lavender was unforgettable. Thymes Lavender takes me back. Happy memories.

text: hi, i've been searching and have yet to find an answer. i might be colored blind but it looks like the flak vest is greyish. i would prefer a greyish vest then a white vest, but it seems all they make is an off white vest. does anyone know any makers that make greyish looking vest (not custom just for me, but make it already). or is every costume i see they are using an off white color and the camera or lighting makes it look grey.

Sorry what?
Yes i did originally post this on hackforums, and the first time i tried to post it here, a moderator suggested that i not mention to much about that.
The only place i have EVER posted a source forge link is here in these forums. If you check the HF thread, you will see that that is a media fire download. You can also view the downloads from source forge to view how many there have been.
I don't really understand why you get so angry, this is why you got banned from HF i am suprised you haven't been banned from here due to your immaturity.
All of the code is mine, download it and check it out. And please try to get angry more articulately, it is hard to decode what you are trying to say.
Also i did the MITM attack with arp-spoof as i have had loads of issues using ettercap in the past, and i have generally found this method a lot more reliable.
