EVERETT — Missing five varsity players due to suspension, the Everett girls basketball wilted in the second half as Shorewood's Masha Shtikel hit three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and finished with 32 points in a 59-49 win by the visiting Thunderbirds Friday night.
Ahead 26-25 at halftime, Everett, which played just six players throughout the game, was outscored 18-8 in the third quarter and couldn't close the gap in the fourth quarter.
"I thought our girls came out and played hard," said Everett head coach John Low. "We had some girls in new positions for the first time and I thought all things considered they rose to the challenge. I was pleased with our effort."
Five Everett players were suspended by the school after an investigation found that they had participated in a party over the holiday break that involved alcohol and drugs. Due to student privacy the school did not name the players or number of players suspended.
Early on Everett put aside the emotion of the night and got down to business. Led by Kiki Harper and Darian Rielly, the Seagulls jumped out toa 9-4 lead and fought off Shorewood's challenges to remain in the lead by the half. Sydney Taggart scored all seven of her points in the first half.
"I didn't sense an overly emotional vibe but I'm sure there was little bit of that," Low said of his team's fast start. "There was also a lot of nervousness and wondering how it was going to play out. But yeah they came out and we hit some tough shots."
In the second half it was a different story. Led by eight points from Shtikel, Shorewood outscored Everett 14-0 at one point in the third quarter and took a commanding 15-point lead. In the fourth, Shtikel continued her domination, hitting three 3s and scoring 10 points as the Thunderbirds helf off a late Everett charge spearheaded by three 3-pointers by Rielly. Shtikel ended up with 20 points in the second half and was 12-for-17 from the free-throw line for the game.
"She's capable of just moving a little bit back and a little bit back and I think she heated up," Low said. "She's improved on her passing … she's trying to generate more offense for her teammates and then take over when she needs to."
As for the suspsensions, Everett Public Schools spokesperson Mary Waggoner said the investigation determined that "approximately a dozen" girls and boys basketball players were present at the party, which broke the Everett Public School's Code of Conduct. The EPS Code of Conduct states that players not only cannot be under the influence of illegal substances but they "shall not be in the presence of, or remain in the vicitny of, others illegally using alcohol or illegal drugs."
According to the Everett Public Schools' Code of Conduct, in compliance with the Washington Interscholastic Athletics Association, a first violation involving drugs results in immediate ineligibility for interscholastic competition in the current sports program for the remainder of the season. A first violation involving alcohol results in immediate suspension for 42 calendar days or the remainder of the season, whichever is longer.

We're acutely aware that poverty, ill-health, and environmental degradation go hand-in-hand. Haiti's widespread deforestation, and the devastating floods that have resulted, are an oft-cited example. Our staff are not easily discouraged, but working at night using flashlights and headlamps is a less-than efficient solution. Above, PIH Co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer and staff from Bayalpata Hospital in Nepal meet with a patient who has multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. PIH has partnered with organizations such as the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) to install effective solar-energy systems at sites in Haiti, Rwanda, and Lesotho. Above, Rwandan workers put the finishing touches on a solar array. In Lesotho, the so-called Mountain Kingdom, we've worked extensively with SELF to set up solar-energy systems at various sites. The above system is in the village of Nohana. Haitian workers survey the solar panels at a clinic in Boucan-Carré, Haiti. While the 1,800 solar panels atop University Hospital in Mirebalais have garnered significant attention in recent months, many of our clinics throughout the Central Plateau have been equipped with smaller-scale solar systems for years. As PIH evolves and bolsters the services we provide to patients, we'll continue to rely on the sun's rays as a source of clean, affordable, and renewable energy. Dr. Farmer once said, "It's not great if you're a surgeon and you have to think about getting the generator going." As University Hospital scales up its services, the 1,800 solar panels on its roof will help ensure our patients are never left in the dark. Share: Tweet

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses for more than 2,000 years. TCM is based on a belief in yin and yang, defined as opposing energies, such as earth and heaven, winter and summer, and happiness and sadness. When yin and yang are in balance, you feel relaxed and energized. Out of balance, however, yin and yang negatively affect your health.
Practitioners also believe that there is a life force or energy, known as qi (pronounced "chee"), in every body. For yin and yang to be balanced and for the body to be healthy, qi must be balanced and flowing freely. When there is too little or too much qi in one of the body's energy pathways, called meridians, or when the flow of qi is blocked, it causes illness.
The ultimate goal of TCM treatment is to balance the yin and yang in our lives by promoting the natural flow of qi. In an interesting analogy, often used to explain its nature, qi is described as the wind in a sail -- we do not see the wind directly, but we are aware of its presence as it fills the sail.
What is the history of TCM?
The first writings about TCM date back to 200 BCE. Herbal medicine and acupuncture, including theory, practice, diagnosis, and treatment, were recorded in classical Chinese texts and refined over many centuries.
The practice of TCM stayed in Asia for centuries. Chinese immigrants had been practicing TCM in the United States since the mid-19th century, but its existence was unknown to most Americans before 1971. That year, New York Times reporter James Reston, who was in China covering former President Nixon's trip, had to have an emergency appendix operation. After the operation he received acupuncture for pain, and his stories about this experience with TCM fascinated the public. Since then, TCM has gone on to become a mainstream alternative medicine practiced all over the world.
How does TCM work?
Disease -- alterations in the normal flow of qi such that yin and yang are imbalanced -- is thought to have three major causes: external or environmental factors, your internal emotions, and lifestyle factors such as diet. Through the use of its therapeutic modalities, TCM stimulates the body's own healing mechanisms. Practices used in TCM include:
In TCM, the body's internal organs are thought of not only as individual structures but also as complex networks. According to TCM, qi flows through organ systems -- kidney, heart, spleen, liver, lung, gallbladder, small intestine, and large intestine -- by way of meridians. Despite their specific names, these 5 systems correspond to more than individual body parts. The kidney, for example, represents the entire urinary system along with the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys. The heart, meanwhile, represents both the heart and the brain.
What should I expect on my first visit?
The TCM practitioner will ask you questions about your medical history and do a physical exam to look for signs of imbalance. The TCM practitioner will examine your skin, tongue, and hair, as well as other parts of your body, from the brightness of your eyes to the color of your nails, and check six pulses on each of your wrists. The practitioner will also listen to your voice to assess your shen (spirit), and will work to determine if one or more of your organ networks are affected. The practitioner will then try to correct any imbalances in your body by providing a combination of the therapies discussed above.
What is TCM good for?
Over the centuries, TCM has been used to treat countless conditions. Western scientists are still studying its effectiveness for various diseases. For serious conditions, make sure you are working with a conventional doctor along with a TCM practitioner. Always let everyone on your health care team know about any medicines, herbs, or supplements you're taking. Some of the conditions for which TCM is known to be helpful include:
TCM may also be an effective treatment for the following ailments:
Is there anything I should watch out for?
You should not take Chinese herbs without supervision, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Chinese herbal products are often poorly labeled, and important information may be missing. Some Chinese herbal products contain drugs not listed on their labels. For example, some Chinese herbal creams that are used to treat eczema contain steroid medications. Also, be on the alert for Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid. This acid, derived from an herb, has been linked to cases of kidney failure, and even cancer. Also, some Chinese herbs have been reported to contain heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, and mercury.
A trained and certified TCM practitioner can identify herbs that are safe to take. The practitioner should also explain the potential side effects of the herbs they prescribe. Always tell your doctor about any herbs or supplements you are taking.
How can I find a qualified TCM practitioner?
The following organizations can help you locate a qualified practitioner in your area:
What is the future for TCM?
There are more than 50 Oriental medicine training programs in the United States. Future research studies and clinical trials on TCM are needed to find out exactly how it works, and its effectiveness, safety, and cost.

Tip 1: Let cutoffs drop free to avoid binding the blade
Cutting the end off a board is usually simple. The short cutoff end simply falls away. But cutting a long board in half is different. You can hold one end, but the other must be free to drop or the blade will bind. The trick is to allow the cutoff end to drop slightly, but not so much that it completely snaps off before the cut is complete. One method is to support the board with strips of wood as shown here. You can also support the board continuously by stacking it on an equal-length sacrificial board. Set your blade to cut about 1/4 in. deeper than the wood's thickness. Hold or clamp the keeper side and allow the other side to move freely.
Tip 2: Clamp your work for precise bevel cuts
You can make crisp, accurate bevel or miter cuts with a circular saw but it's tricky. The blade guard can stick, making it tough to get started. And because the blade is angled, it's more difficult to follow a line accurately without twisting the saw and possibly binding the blade.
Two things will help you get a good cut safely. The first is to clamp the board you're cutting. Clamping allows you to use one hand to lift the blade guard out of the way until the cut is started. The second is to use a straightedge guide, like the giant Speed square shown. It allows you to concentrate on moving the saw steadily forward without having to worry about following the line. If possible, cut with the wider part of the bed on the "keeper" side of the board for better control and more accurate bevels. Near the end of the cut, concentrate on a straight-ahead follow-through.
Safety Tip for Circular Saws
Your circular saw is one of the most dangerous tools in the shop. Accidents happen quickly and without warning and injuries are usually severe. Binding the blade in a cut is probably the most common and scariest mistake because the saw blade will jump up and run back toward you. It usually happens when you're cutting a long board or large sheet of plywood in half without proper support. To avoid it, make sure the cutoff piece is free to drop or move away from the blade. This will eliminate any chance of binding and make all of your cuts safer.
Tip 3: Make plunge cuts safely
Plunge cutting is a useful method for starting a cut when you can't start from an edge. One example is cutting a window opening in a sheet of plywood. But if done with poor technique, this cut is dangerous. The saw will kick back and run back toward you. The photos show good technique. Since you can't see what's under the sheet you're cutting, check before you start to be sure the path of the blade is clear. Never back the saw toward you while it's running. And stand to the side, not directly behind the saw. Set the blade to cut about 1/4 in. deeper than the wood thickness.
Tip 4: Replace that dull blade
Even the best carpenter can't do good work with a dull blade. And besides making lousy cuts, a dull blade is dangerous. Dull blades can heat up and warp or bind, and they tend to climb out of the cut.
But how do you know if your blade is too dull? Sometimes you can tell just by looking for rounded-over or chipped teeth. But the best indicator is how the blade cuts. If you have to muscle your way through the cut, your blade is dull. A sharp blade will glide through even the toughest wood. Burn marks and rough cuts are other signs of a dull blade.
Many hardware stores offer blade-sharpening services, but I wouldn't waste money sharpening steel blades. High-quality carbide blades are inexpensive and can withstand tons of abuse before they need to be replaced.
A good blade for general circular saw use is a 24-tooth, thin-kerf carbide blade. To get the most from your miter saw, invest in a high quality 60- or 80-tooth carbide blade. Use the cheaper blade that came with your saw for general crosscutting, and reserve the good blade for fine work.
Tip 5: Clamp short pieces in the "no hands" zone
As a reminder to keep hands well away from the blade, most new miter saws have red lines indicating the "no hands" zone. But what if you need to cut a piece that's shorter than the 7- or 8-in. hands-free area? The best solution is to cut short lengths from longer boards whenever possible (p. 54). However, when you have to trim a short piece of molding, use clamps to hold it in place (Photo 2). The auxiliary fence comes in handy for this task by providing a better clamping surface. You'll get better quality miters because the molding can't slide away from the blade. And you'll be assured safer, hands-free cutting.
Tip 6: Cut small pieces safely
Cutting off small pieces is one of the most challenging and dangerous operations on a power miter saw. You're never sure where the piece will end up. It usually becomes a high-speed projectile when it falls into the spinning blade. But there is a way to avoid this problem. The auxiliary fence helps keep the cutoff from falling back, and stopping the blade keeps the teeth from catching it.
Another trick, not shown here, is to stop just before completing the cut. Let the blade stop. Then remove the molding and complete the cut with a utility knife or coping saw.

It's not often that we can pull something over UB's technically savvy students, but this fall, CIT replaced nearly 50 personal computers with virtual desktop devices in the 2nd Floor Lockwood Cybrary...and no one has said a word.
The Virtual Desktop Initiative is a pilot project to replace personal computer workstations in the computing sites with small "zero client" devices, specifically HP's EVGA PD02 model. The zero client box provides display, keyboard and mouse connectivity to a virtual workstation emulated on a server. The zero client also provides USB and headphone jack for remote storage and audio support.
Saira Hasnain, UB's director of Enterprise Infrastructure Services, has been directing this pilot project. "We tried four different vendor's devices, and selected one for its best performance and cost effectiveness," she states. "Many vendors provide this type of technology. At the end of the day, big hardware is replaced by little hardware."
The advantages of this pilot for students are the removal of the bulky desktop unit from under Cybrary tables, allowing more space for personal items, and significantly faster logins (10-20 seconds faster). The exact same software is available as on a regular Cybrary workstation.
"I think I didn't notice the difference because we (college students; our generation) have become desensitized to technological changes," said Anneka Cantone (Hutton), a senior studying Biological Sciences. "They happen so often, and things are constantly improving, getting faster, and becoming smaller, that I hardly even notice anymore."
UB benefits from the zero client too. The devices cost far less than a PC to initially purchase, and use significantly less energy to operate. In fact, the Virtual Desktop Initiative pilot works toward UB's commitment to environmental stewardship. The zero client devices are expected to last longer than a typical PC too, further reducing future investment.
Faculty should have no concerns since exactly the same software is available. A potential advantage would be for these zero client devices to access multiple virtual desktops so students could potentially mount specialty software from school or departmental labs.
Jason Distefano, a junior studying Business Administrative, added, "I have been at UB for three years and use Lockwood all the time, and I didn't notice any difference between the computers. Honestly, I didn't even notice that the tower was gone."
Remarking on the lack of student concern, Saira said, "It's magic, as far as they're concerned."

Brevard, N.C. - Zack Merriken hit a solo home run and Kramer Clark drove in a pair of runs in a five-run third inning, but the visiting Wolves battled back to force extra innings and a base hit by Andy Vogel drove in the winning run as the Tornados fell to Newberry, 6-5.
Kevin Hamilton (1-1) suffered his first loss of the season as Brevard falls to 5-7, 0-4 SAC on the year, while Matt Mege (2-1) picked up his second victory as the Wolves improved to 9-6, 4-0 SAC.
Brevard took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a solo homerun by Zach Merriken hit a line drive down the left field line, barely clearing the fence near the Tornados bullpen.
The Wolves appeared on the scoreboard for the first time in the third inning as Vogel and Evan Darr hit back-to-back RBI doubles with two outs and Chris Love added a run scoring single to give Newberry the 3-1 advantage
Brevard regained the lead in the bottom of the third with five runs. An RBI single by Randy O'Dell was followed by a two-run double by Kramer Clark, an RBI double from Ethan Pressley and an RBI single by Derek Ham gave the Tornados a 6-3 lead.
The Wolves continued to strike, cutting into the lead as Darr and Love drove in a run apiece in the top of the fifth before Kevin Rufus hit an RBI single in the top of the sixth to tie the game at 6-all.
Both sides had chances to take the lead in regulation but neither team could plate the go-ahead run as BC's Steele Myers was stranded on third in the eighth and Hamilton came in relief for Brevard and retired the Wolves with the bases loaded in the ninth as the teams went into extra innings.
In the 10th inning, Chas Goodwin reached on a base hit up the middle. The ball was misplayed by the BC centerfielder, allowing Goodwin to move up to second base with one out. After advancing to third, Goodwin scored the game winning run as Vogel hit a soft line drive which landed between the second baseman and right fielder.
Kameron Armacost led off the bottom half of the inning with a single to left field, but Tyler Sturkie came in for the Wolves and retired the next three Tornados batters to end the game.
Zack Simpson earned a no decision in the start, pitching 5.2 innings, striking out three, and Casey Burnette threw three innings of scoreless relief for the Tornados, who fall in their fourth conference game of the season.
Brevard and Newberry conclude the weekend series tomorrow afternoon at Gil Coan Field, with first pitch of the doubleheader coming at 12 p.m.

The botched hunt for Malaysian Airlines Flight 370
Who exactly is coordinating the release of information about the fate of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370? Nobody, it would seem. It depends which source you listen to—the government officials, the airline, or the Malaysian military. For there to be such imprecision in the information and so many contradictions between sources four days into a search would be farcical were it not for the tragedy unfolding and the distress being caused. Working quietly in the background, and clearly becoming frustrated, are crash investigators and a team sent to Malaysia by Boeing.
The chief of the Malaysian air force, General Rodzali Daud, was responsible for an entirely new round of speculation when he was reported saying that the Boeing 777 changed direction from the direct route to Bejing and, instead, turned clear away from that course toward the south west. Twelve hours later – having inspired a whole new slew of maps and graphics – the General reversed himself. He had not made any such statement, he said, although they had not ruled out "the possibility of an air turnaround." Whether this also invalidated the statement that the last contact made with the airplane was an hour later than previously stated, 2:40am, was not clear. If the 777 had followed the route suggested by the General it was heading out over the Andaman Sea toward India.
What is becoming clear from all this confusion is something that will have consequences for future air crash investigations. In countries where it is traditional for the military to override civilian authority, and where the military directs key resources like radar coverage and air traffic control, there is no coherent system that swings into action in a disaster, no playbook to operate by and no experience of dealing with the public consequences.
This kind of cultural barrier becomes particularly troublesome in a region like Asia, where air travel is expanding faster than anywhere else in the world, driven by two ineluctable forces: An explosion of demand from China and, simultaneously the rapid growth of budget airlines. These market forces are overtaking the region's aviation infrastructure, affecting not only how crash investigations are handled but the overall regulatory rigor, the training and monitoring of air crew and the supervision of crucial safety standards, like maintenance.
Meanwhile, the muddle in Malaysia makes it far harder for the searchers to know where to look. The absence still of any wreckage suggests that the airplane went over one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, the Strait of Malacca. If it had crashed into that stretch of water it would have been like ditching in the English Channel—scores of ships would have seen it. This also an area known for piracy, which means that military radar surveillance would have been highly active.
The Malaysians have not even made the first basic step necessary to the investigation, to provide a timeline of contacts between the ground stations and the airplane after it left Kuala Lumpur. Instead, there are suggestions that the airplane's transponders, essential to its navigation and to the controllers tracking it because they continually confirm its position, were turned off. That, of course, implies some kind of human intervention. But it could equally be the case that the transponders failed, in spite of the Boeing 777 having backup power systems to ensure that that never happens, which in turn could be caused by somecatastrophic systems shutdown on the airplane.
Commander William Marks of the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that despite the search being re-directed to the Gulf of Thailand and deploying two destroyers, helicopters and a P3 marine surveillance airplane with the world's most advanced equipment not a single piece of debris had been spotted. "It's not a matter of if we could see something," said Commander Marks. "We've picked up small wooden crates on our radar, something as small as a soccer ball."

"If players were greedy, they would just simply take a deal now, make their money and let the guys behind them get screwed with it" the 27 year old McKee said. Mckee said it would make sense for he and many other players in his age range to just take the money and run rather than risk two years worth of salary but as a group it comes down to what they think is fair for the future players.'

This weekend's Utah Symphony concerts celebrate dance. Thirtysomething conductor Andrew Grams, returning to Abravanel Hall after well-received outings in 2009 and 2011, leads the orchestra in three ballet suites. The fourth work on the program, George Gershwin's lively tone poem "An American in Paris," might as well be considered ballet music, having been featured memorably in the Gene Kelly film of the same name.
Grams won over the good-sized audience, and apparently the orchestra as well, with his clear, economical conducting style. Under his direction, the Utah Symphony achieved a transparent texture that made the familiar feel fresh. The exuberant performance of "An American in Paris," which closed the concert, may have been the audience favorite, with its jaunty taxi horns and an impressive outing from new principal trumpet Travis Peterson. But Grams' insightful and affectionate reading of Aaron Copland's suite from "Appalachian Spring" proved the biggest revelation. The conductor managed to evoke heart-stopping stillness and bracing vibrancy, sometimes at the same time. Clarinet principal Tad Calcara contributed some especially poignant moments.
The evening opened with the ballet music from Charles Gounod's "Faust." Crisp articulation from the strings highlighted this colorful performance.
Igor Stravinsky's slyly comical "Jeu de Cartes," subtitled "Ballet in Three Deals," rounded out the program.

As a core pillar of American leadership and power, global development works together with defense and diplomacy to advance our interests and values abroad, and to protect the American people at home. With less than one percent of the federal budget, USAID supports critical development activities and the courageous development professionals who carry them out in challenging, often dangerous, conditions every day. In total, the President's funding request for accounts from which USAID administers assistance is $22.7 billion. $11.0 billion of this total is in core USAID-managed accounts: 1) Development Assistance; 2) Global Health Programs-USAID; 3) International Disaster Assistance; 4) Food for Peace Title II; 5) Transition Initiatives; 6) Complex Crises Fund and 7) USAID Administrative Expense accounts.
Social development and economic growth in Central America have been stymied by a dramatic rise in crime and violence — particularly in the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. While the homicide rate has declined in Honduras, it is still unacceptably high. In El Salvador, the statistics from 2015 are truly alarming — over 100 murders per 100,000 people. This surpasses the murder rate at the peak of El Salvador's civil war in the 1980s.
The recent wave of insecurity is rooted in increased gang violence and international crime, as well as deep-seated issues of social and economic inequity, and lack of economic opportunity for vast segments of society. Economic productivity in Central America has grown slowly over the last decade, and underemployment hovers between 30 and 40 percent in the Northern Triangle.
On Monday, the President announced his intent to submit a Fiscal Year 2016 supplemental request to aggressively respond to the Zika virus outbreak. USAID is included in this request so that we can help countries affected by the Zika virus respond and protect their citizens. In my testimony today, I will describe what USAID is prepared to do with existing and supplemental resources to respond as part of an interagency effort, discuss Zika within the context of the challenges of infectious diseases and the, and share what we and other partners are doing to help countries around the world prevent, detect and respond to infectious diseases.
The U.S. Government employs a whole-of-government approach to address the complex problem of Wildlife Trafficking. We work closely with other government agencies, including the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, to ensure that programs are coordinated and streamlined. These efforts avoid programmatic overlap and enhance effectiveness by incorporating our respective technical and operational strengths.
Our work in Afghanistan reflects USAID's mission: We partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity. USAID's civilian assistance programs in Afghanistan are a critical component of our core U.S. national security objective of a stable Afghanistan that al-Qaeda and other terrorists cannot use as a base to threaten the United States, our interests, or U.S. persons overseas. We remain committed to an assistance program in Afghanistan that is effective, accountable, and sustainable. We also remain committed to ensuring accountability for U.S. taxpayer dollars and program results.
Two years of conflict in South Sudan has created a devastating humanitarian crisis. The peace agreement signed in August provides the best chance for a return to peace and development. Its implementation is urgently needed. The people of South Sudan are suffering and the humanitarian situation is only getting worse. Response teams cannot reach people who need aid the most, especially in the Greater Upper Nile Region, due to local clashes and authorities denying access.
Chairman Ros-Lehtinen, Ranking Member Deutch, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify today on the humanitarian crisis that has gripped Syria, its neighbors, and the global community. I want to thank you for your unwavering support for USAID and the State Department's response to the Syria crisis, and for shining a spotlight on the situation, which grows more complex every day
Burma has embarked on a long and challenging road of political and economic reform. The reforms that began in 2011 have set in motion ongoing transitions that will see important developments over the coming year including the election on November 8th, ongoing ceasefire negotiations with ethnic armed groups, the treatment of Rohingya, and the changing strength and vibrancy of civil society. The United States has a fundamental interest in the success of Burma's reforms and remains a committed partner to those who seek greater freedom, prosperity and dignity in Burma.
Land rights are not only an economic issue, but a human rights issue. In countries around the world, the absence of secure property rights protected by an effective rule of law is a major constraint to poverty alleviation and security. This is the reality for millions in the developing world, where over 70 percent of land is unregistered. In Southeast Asia, we know from our decades of work in the region and public surveys that property rights are either the top or among the top concerns of the people.

Kororaa Linux 15 released
Several weeks ago, I put Kororaa 14 "Nemo" through its paces and liked it a lot. Chris Smart and his colleages at Kororaa do a great job in producing a distro based on Fedora, and Smart announced last week the release of Kororaa Linux 15 "Squirt."
Based on the Fedora 15 release, Squirt features both KDE SC 4.6 and GNOME 3 desktop environments (as well as including a desktop switcher for GNOME 3, so that users can switch between the new Shell interface and the 2.x style Fallback mode), and it is available for download for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
Squirt highlights include:

Key in ignition warning
2005 X5 came in after customer reportedly left the sunroof open and the vehicle got rained in. Symptoms were: Hazard lights start flashing randomly while driving or parked , the "key in ignition" signal stays on the instrument cluster sometimes after key is removed, and sometimes the door locks do not work the first time with the key remote ( the alarm seems to arm as the running lights do flash) but they do work the second time the remote button is pushed (unlock and then lock again). We thought that the hazard light problem was a no brainer, assuming that water had entered the hazard/door lock switch and replaced it. My tech assumed the "key in ignition" signal was generated by the ignition switch and replaced it. While seemingly the hazard light problem was fixed, the "key in ignition" signal was still intermittent. After finding out that the "key in ign" signal is generated by the EWS module by seeing the key still transmitting via the ring antenna, we tried a new EWS module, no change. We then found that this signal apparently goes (over the K-bus) from the EWS to the LCM, and then to the IKE. So we tried a used LCM and my tech told me the problem was solved. I ordered a new LCM, coded it to the car (myself) and still had the same problem. I'm not sure why it didn't act up for my tech with the used LCM. I put the used LCM back in and had the same problem. Thought maybe the order in which the connectors on the LCM are connected may change something and tried all combinations, no change. We tried a different ZKE and IKE, no change. We also, out of desparation, tried a new ring coil antenna, no change. We did figure out that if you pull the key out before opening the door, the "key in ign" signal seems to work correctly every time, although the customer says that even when he exits the car after pulling the key before opening the door, the door lock problem still happens sometimes. I can reproduce the door lock problem every time by opening the door first, then pulling the key out which causes the "key in ignition" signal on the cluster that won't go away, and then trying the door locks via the remote. Interestingly, I also found that if you turn the key off and pull it out quickly, before terminal R power goes away, it seems to work correctly, even if the door is already open. All of the signals from the LF door module look correct on the autologic. The customer needed the car for awhile, but we are getting it back soon. He said that the Hazard light problem is still there also. Any thoughts or help would be extremely appreciated. Greg

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Onassis, Jacqueline Kennedy)
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (28 July 1929 – 19 May 1994) was the wife of the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and served as First Lady during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. She was later married to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis from 1968 until his death in 1975. In later years she had a successful career as a book editor, and is remembered for her style and elegance.
- I do love you though — and can love you without kissing you every time I see you and I hope you understand that.
- I've always thought of being in love as being willing to do anything for the other person — starve to buy them bread and not mind living in Siberia with them — and I've always thought that every minute away from them would be hell — so looking at it that [way] I guess I'm not in love with you.
- Letter breaking up with a boyfriend in 1947, as quoted in Jacqueline Kennedy's Old Love Letters Will School You in the Art of Breaking Up" by Laura Beck, in Cosmopolitan (2 September 2015)]
- A newspaper reported I spend $30,000 a year buying Paris clothes and that women hate me for it. I couldn't spend that much unless I wore sable underwear.
- The New York Times (15 September 1960)
- If you bungle raising your children I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much.
- I want to be there when he dies.
- When told she couldn't access President Kennedy's hospital room (22 November 1963); quoted in The Death of a President (1967) by William Manchester
- He didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights... it had to be some silly little Communist.

- Dear God, please take care of your servant John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
- Inscription for cards at her husband's funeral (25 November 1963)
- One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness.
- I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the hundreds of thousands of messages, nearly eight hundred thousand in all, which my children and I have received over the past few weeks. The knowledge of the affection in which my husband was held by all of you has sustained me and the warmth of these tributes is something I shall never forget. Whenever I can bear to, I read them. All his bright light's gone from the world. All of you who have written to me know how much we all loved him and that he returned that love in full measure.
- I loathe the French. There's not one French person I can think of except—maybe two very simple people. Maybe Boudin, who's so un-French. You know, they're really not very nice. They're all for themselves.
- In her 1964 interview with Arthur Schlesinger, quoted in Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy (2011).
- Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it — but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.
- Quoted from article written by Jacqueline Kennedy for Look Magazine (17 November 1964) JFK memorial issue.
- One man can make a difference and every man should try.

- If they're killing Kennedys, then my children are targets ... I want to get out of this country.
- We know you understand that even though people may be well known they still hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth — birth, marriage, death. We wish our wedding to be a private moment in the little chapel among the cypresses of Skorpios.
- Press Statement issued the day before her marriage to Aristotle Onassis, NY Times (20 October 1968)
- You were so kind to us yesterday. Never have I seen such magnanimity and such tenderness.
Can you imagine the gift you gave me? To return to the White House privately with my little ones while they are still young enough to rediscover their childhood — with you both as guides — and with your daughters, such extraordinary young women.
What a tribute to have brought them up like that in the limelight. I pray I can do half the same with my Caroline. It was good to see her exposed to their example, and John to their charm!
You spoiled us beyond belief . . . I have never seen the White House look so perfect. There is no hidden corner of it that is not beautiful now.

- Statement at the funeral of Aristotle Onassis, as quoted in Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis : A Life (2000) by Donald Spoto
- I think my biggest achievement is that, after going through a rather difficult time, I consider myself comparatively sane.
- Response to Stephen Spender, on being asked what she considered her proudest accomplishment, as quoted in The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis : A Portrait in Her Own Words (2004) by Bill Adler, p. 5, and p. 232

The "Camelot" interview (29 November 1963)[edit]
- One week after the assasination of her husband Mrs. Kennedy summoned Theodore H. White to Hyannisport for an interview. Some of the statements she made appeared in that week's edition of LIFE magazine (6 December 1963), and more of it appeared many years later in his memoir In Search of History: A Personal Adventure (1978). In 1969 White donated his notes of the interview to the Kennedy Library, to be made fully public only after Mrs. Kennedy's death. They were released on 26 May 1995.
- There'd been the biggest motorcade from the airport. Hot. Wild. Like Mexico and Vienna. The sun was so strong in our faces. I couldn't put on sunglasses... Then we saw this tunnel ahead, I thought it would be cool in the tunnel, I thought if you were on the left the sun wouldn't get into your eyes...
- They were gunning the motorcycles. There were these little backfires. There was one noise like that. I thought it was a backfire. Then next I saw Connally grabbing his arms and saying "no, no, no, no, no," with his fist beating. Then Jack turned and I turned. All I remember was a blue-gray building up ahead. Then Jack turned back so neatly, his last expression was so neat... you know that wonderful expression he had when they'd ask him a question about one of the ten million pieces they have in a rocket, just before he'd answer. He looked puzzled, then he slumped forward. He was holding out his hand … I could see a piece of his skull coming off. It was flesh-colored, not white — he was holding out his hand … I can see this perfectly clean piece detaching itself from his head. Then he slumped in my lap, his blood and his brains were in my lap … Then Clint Hill [the Secret Service man], he loved us, he made my life so easy, he was the first man in the car … We all lay down in the car … And I kept saying, Jack, Jack, Jack, and someone was yelling "he's dead, he's dead." All the ride to the hospital I kept bending over him, saying "Jack, Jack, can you hear me, I love you, Jack."
- His head was so beautiful. I tried to hold the top of his head down, maybe I could keep it in... but I knew he was dead.
- When they carried Jack in, Hill threw his coat over Jack's head, and I held his head to throw the coat over it. It wasn't repulsive to me for one moment — nothing was repulsive to me —
- These big Texas interns kept saying, "Mrs. Kennedy, you come with us", they wanted to take me away from him... But I said "I'm not leaving"… Dave Powers came running to me at the hospital, crying when he saw me, my legs, my hands were covered with his brains... When Dave saw this he burst out weeping... I said "I'm not going to leave him, I'm not going to leave him"… I was standing outside in this narrow corridor... ten minutes later this big policeman brought me a chair.
- I said, "I want to be in there when he dies"… so Burkeley forced his way into the operating room and said, "It's her prerogative, it's her prerogative..." and I got in, there were about forty people there. Dr. Perry wanted to get me out. But I said "It's my husband, his blood, his brains are all over me."
- I held his hand all the time the priest was saying extreme unction.
- The ring was all blood-stained... so I put the ring on Jack's finger... and then I kissed his hand...
- Everytime we got off the plane that day, three times they gave me the yellow roses of Texas. But in Dallas they gave me red roses. I thought how funny, red roses — so all the seat was full of blood and red roses.
- But there's this one thing I wanted to say... I'm so ashamed of myself... When Jack quoted something, it was usually classical... no, don't protect me now... I kept saying to Bobby, I've got to talk to somebody, I've got to see somebody, I want to say this one thing, it's been almost an obsession with me, all I keep thinking of is this line from a musical comedy, it's been an obsession with me... At night before we'd go to sleep... we had an old Victrola. Jack liked to play some records. His back hurt, the floor was so cold. I'd get out of bed at night and play it for him, when it was so cold getting out of bed... on a Victrola ten years old — and the song he loved most came at the very end of this record, the last side of Camelot, sad Camelot... "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot."...There'll never be another Camelot again...
- Do you know what I think of history? … For a while I thought history was something that bitter old men wrote. But Jack loved history so... No one'll ever know everything about Jack. But … history made Jack what he was … this lonely, little sick boy … scarlet fever … this little boy sick so much of the time, reading in bed, reading history … reading the Knights of the Round Table … and he just liked that last song.
Then I thought, for Jack history was full of heroes. And if it made him this way, if it made him see the heroes, maybe other little boys will see. Men are such a combination of good and bad … He was such a simple man. But he was so complex, too. Jack had this hero idea of history, the idealistic view, but then he had that other side, the pragmatic side... his friends were all his old friends; he loved his Irish Mafia.
- History!... Everybody kept saying to me to put a cold towel around my head and wipe the blood off... later, I saw myself in the mirror; my whole face spattered with blood and hair... I wiped it off with Kleenex... History! … I thought, no one really wants me there. Then one second later I thought, why did I wash the blood off? I should have left it there, let them see what they've done... If I'd just had the blood and caked hair when they took the picture … Then later I said to Bobby — what's the line between history and drama? I should have kept the blood on.
- A variant reading of White's notes exists: Then later I said to Bobby — what's the line between histrionics and drama. I should have kept the blood on. but in White's own published memoir In Search of History: A Personal Adventure (1978) this is rendered "what's the line between history and drama?"
- An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
- Attributed in Wisdom Through the Ages : Book Two (2003) by Helen Granat, p. 118; this actually is cited to Robert Louis Stevenson in The Law of Success (1928) by Napoleon Hill: "An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding; and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself."
Quotes about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis[edit]
- Sorted alphabetically by author or source
- She changed the White House from a plastic to a crystal bowl.
- Letitia Baldric, as quoted in A Hero for Our Time (1983) by Ralph G Martin
- People who tried to say no to Jackie found that she would go to great lengths to outwit them.
- Sarah Bradford, in America's Queen: The Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (2001)
- She had a very acute sense of her image as first lady and how she wanted to use her image to promote her husband's administration and his ideals.
- Hamish Bowles, as quoted in "Jackie Kennedy style exhibit opens May 1 at Met" (23 April 2001)
- Our Jackie is embodied forever in that bloodstained pink suit. She bore the grief of a nation with such dignity, and then guarded her privacy until she died in 1994 at age 64. This Jackie is harshly judgmental, dispensing petty opinions that say as much about her as they do the objects of her disdain.
- Eleanor Clift, in "Jackie O's Dark Side" in The Daily Beast (13 September 2011)
- God gave her very great gifts and imposed upon her great burdens. She bore them all with dignity and grace and uncommon common sense. May the flame she lit so long ago burn ever brighter here and always brighter in our hearts. God bless you friend, and farewell.
- Bill Clinton (23 May 1994)
- She's regal; she's elegant as ever; she is an everlasting mystery. I think she's elevated the human spirit in this country. If there were more Jackie Kennedys around, this would be a better place in which to live. I find her to be a very noble person.
- First the world will call me Bouvier, hey
Then I'll change to Jackie K.
After my date with tragedy
I'll let Aristotle take care of me
I want to be Jackie Onassis, oh yeah....
- Human Sexual Response, in lyrics to the song "Jackie Onassis"
- I looked at her. Mrs. Kennedy's dress was stained with blood. One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked, it was caked with blood — her husband's blood. Somehow that was one of the most poignant sights — that immaculate woman exquisitely dressed, and caked in blood.
- She made a rare and noble contribution to the American spirit. But for us, most of all she was a magnificent wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She graced our history. And for those of us who knew and loved her, she graced our lives.
- Edward Kennedy (23 May 1994)
- I do not think it altogether inappropriate to introduce myself to this audience. I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.
- John F. Kennedy, remarks at SHAPE Headquarters in Paris, France (2 June 1961)
- If I had to live my life over again, I would have a different father, a different wife, and a different religion.
- John F. Kennedy in a letter to John H. Sharon, cited in A Hero for Our Time: An Intimate Story of the Kennedy Years (1983) by Ralph G. Martin
- The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl... She was the last great private public figure in this country. In a time of gilt and glitz and perpetual revelation, she was perpetually associated with that thing so difficult to describe yet so simple to recognize, the apotheosis of dignity.
- Anna Quindlen, in The New York Times (21 May 1994)
- I wanna be Jackie Onassis. I wanna wear a pair of dark sunglasses. I wanna be Jackie. Oooh, please don't die!
- Let the skeptics snort about Camelot, but there was something during the Kennedy years that was magic. Jackie was more of that than anyone admitted for a long while. She smoothed the rough Kennedy edges. As much as anyone in those heady days, she grasped the epic dimensions of the adventure. No small portion of the glamour of the Kennedy stewardship that lives on today came from her standards of public propriety and majesty.
- Hugh Sidey, as quoted in TIME magazine, Vol. 143 (1994)
- As far as Jackie was concerned, the only thing better than a rich man was an obscenely rich man.
- Gore Vidal, as quoted in The Good Son: JFK Jr. and the Mother He Loved (2014) by Christopher Andersen
- All she was fundamentally interested in was money. That was really the guiding motive of her life.
- John White, Times–Herald writer, as quoted in America's Queen: The Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (2001) by Sarah Bradford

Man Burned at WeHo Halloween Fest
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - One person suffered a burn injury at the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval tonight.
The injury was reported at 10:25 p.m. in the 8500 block of Santa Monica Boulevard near one of the performance stages at the carnaval, which was expected to attract nearly a half-million people.
The victim was taken to a hospital in unspecified condition, said Rey Dong, supervising dispatcher with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The victim was a 50-year-old man who was burned accidentally and taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to KCAL9.
There were about 100,000 people on the streets in Hollywood, with no unusual incidents, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Elsewhere, a boy wearing a G.I. Joe costume was separated from his parents for about 45 minutes on Wilton Place at Third Street in Koreatown. LAPD Olympic Area officers say it was merely a miscommunication in the trick-or-treat hubbub.
A pedestrian was hit by a car at about 8:15 p.m. on Valerio Street, near Corbin Avenue, in the Winnetka section of the western San Fernando Valley. That person was hospitalized with undisclosed injuries.
There were no trick-or-treat-oriented injuries in Los Angeles as of 9:15 p.m. according to Katherine Main of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

A new Systematic Review from the Cochrane Library indicates that zinc lozenges or syrup are effective in reducing the severity and duration of the common cold in healthy people, when taken within 24 hours of onset of symptoms. Regular use appears to prevent rhinovirus infections and significantly shorten the duration of colds.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice has spent most of the offseason recovery from dual shoulder surgery and any lingering concussion effects. He's been practicing without limitations for just 10 days, but that didn't stop head coach Pete Carroll from saying Monday that Rice is "ready to go" for the regular season, according to Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN in Seattle. Carroll also said that Rice is in great shape and is currently the "strongest he's been."
Fantasy Analysis:
One thing that never stops is Carroll's optimism. It's great for a head coach, but it's sometimes easy to read through for everyone else. Rice might be in great shape, but he can't possibly be in football shape yet after not doing a whole lot during camp. He finally played in a preseason game Friday, seeing a few snaps and a couple of targets. I like Russell Wilson, and Rice is just 25 years old. But I just don't think Rice has a lot of upside. He has been just so fragile over the past two seasons. He has a WR3 ceiling.

The eBook pricing war rages on, with such heavy-hitters as the Department of Justice, Amazon, Apple, and the majority of major publishers continuing to tussle over the price of eBooks.
To recap: Amazon has been selling eBooks at a loss for some time, in order to increase sales of their Kindle e-reader. Apple, looking to take some of the eBook business away from Amazon, then offered a higher pricing model to the major publishers, one which would keep them in business through the change of book formats. The Department of Justice, urged on by Amazon, filed suit against the major publishers claiming that they worked together to fix prices artificially high. The DOJ charged that this collusion is a breach of Federal Antitrust laws. After the suit was filed, a handful of publishers settled. Still, this is far from over.
The Consumer Federation of America, an association of nearly 300 nonprofit consumer groups, released a statement claiming that, "Books are being devalued, literature is not."
By restoring competitive pricing to the market (a race to the bottom for eBook prices) the consumer obviously wins. But at what cost? Surely the major publishers cannot continue peddling a product they can't make a profit off of.

Farnese, aroused by the news of his exploits,Continued success of Maurice.
And whilst you have grown weak, Farnese has been growing strong.
He had to rely upon energetic viceroys like Farnese and the Spinolas to furnish funds out of their own pockets.
The Farnese succeeded in something of the kind, the Caraffa were ruined.
The name of the Farnese is associated with several famous buildings and works of art.
And Farnese, on his part, was garrotting and hanging the veterans.
The hair, of a bluish black, long and fine and abundant, crowned a brow moulded like that of the Farnese Juno.
That is the Farnese Hercules, he said; I saw it caught your eye last night.
It is quite unnecessary to follow him as closely as did Farnese.
As before, she had Buttercups on one side, Farnese on the other.
