Salisbury, N.C. - Randy O'Dell hit a solo home run in the top of the first, but the offense was not enough for the Tornados as they fell to #23 Catawba on Friday afternoon in the conference series opener, 6-1.
Casey Smith (2-6) took the loss for Brevard (11-18, 3-12 SAC), pitching 6.1 innings while striking out five. Nick Lomascolo (6-1) went the distance for the Indians (23-7, 13-3 SAC), retiring 12 Tornados on strikes in the win.
Brevard struck first in the top of the first inning as O'Dell drove a two-out, 2-1 offering from Lomascolo over the right field fence of Newman Park to put the Tornados up 1-0 early.
Catawba evened the score in the second as John Neese deposited a pitch over the left field fence, before taking the lead in the third on Austin Moyer's two-run shot.
The Tornados threatened to take control of the game in the top of the sixth, loading the bases with one out as Christian Christopoulos reached after getting hit by a pitch and Champ Stuart and Kramer Clark hit back-to-back singles. Lomascolo was able to escape the inning without allowing a run though, as he retired O'Dell on a foul out to the first baseman and set Zack Merriken down on strikes to end the inning.
The Indians plated three insurance runs in the bottom of the seventh as Josh Hohn brought in Julio Zubillaga with a base hit and Chris Dula brought in a pair with a single up the middle to end the scoring.
Due to the threat of rain, the doubleheader scheduled to begin tomorrow afternoon between Brevard and Catawba has been moved up with first pitch of game one at Newman Park scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

Deep penetration, deep release
So I asked my OB how make a baby boy, she said to do deep penetration and deep release. I am now 6 mos pregnant to my baby boy! I am so happy. Science or God, we are so delighted. To someone who wants to have a boy or a girl..it won't hurt asking your OB for advice. This sure worked for me! I just want to know if anyone experienced the same, following the advise of your OB and then it happening. What other advise were given to you when planning the gender of your baby?

Thanks for sharing your experiences on this Katrina1186.
There's an interesting previous thread on this topic here: How to sway the odds of conceiving a baby girl. Point number one on this list in the previous thread is like you say above - deeper penetration for a boy.

John from Provo, Utah, writes:
How do you make a custom e-mail desktop shortcut for Gmail?
Hi John! Here's how:
The first thing that you want to do is make a shortcut to gMail on your desktop. Open your gMail inbox using whatever browser you like to use. Now right-click on the contents of the address bar and left-click on Copy.
Next, go to any empty area on your desktop and right-click. (Note: When you right-click on your desktop, it does not get rid of the link address you just copied.) In the box that pops up, hover your cursor over New, and then left-click on Shortcut.
Now paste the location that you just copied from the address bar into the box that pops up. Then left-click on Next.
After you click on Next, you are asked to name your shortcut. I named mine Gmail. (Ya think?)
Click on Finish. You now have a shortcut for Gmail on your desktop. You can leave it there, or drag it to your quick launch bar.
I like to have my icons represent the actual program that the shortcut is linked to. If you would like a "real" icon and would like to have me walk you through the download and install of a customized Gmail icon, click here [1] and continue reading.
So now that you have clicked on the link, what's next? Let's go on.
A little way down the web page, you will see the heading Google gMail icon. Underneath it are two options for downloading the image: Download .ICO or Download .PNG. Choose Download .ICO. This image has an .ico extension, which means that Windows will automatically recognize it as an icon. With an extension such as .png, you have to go through the hassle of converting the .png file to an .ico file, and why do that when you don't have to?
Left-click on the Download.ICO button and save the file (image/icon) somewhere that you can remember and go to easily. I usually choose my desktop because it's easy to get to and I can just delete the file afterwards.
After you download and save the file, go to your desktop and right-click on your Gmail shortcut, then left-click on Properties.
In the box that pops up (the Gmail Properties box), you will see four tabs. Left-click on the Web Document tab and then left-click on Change Icon.
Now a box of icons will pop up (Change Icon will be up on top). None of the icons have your Gmail icon in it, though, so left-click on Browse to browse to where you saved your icon.
When you get to your icon, left-click on it to select it. Then left-click on Open.
Now you will see the same icon box you just saw a few minutes ago, only this time it has your Gmail icon in it. Left-click on it to select it, and then left-click on OK.
Now you are back to the very first box. Left-click on Apply, and then left-click on OK.
Now you have a brand-new, customized shortcut to your Gmail account!
Thanks for writing, John!

Another impressive performance from Turner here...
Another impressive performance from Turner here...
Very impressive from Turner. I would like to see Turner face another grappling based fighter to see if his ground game has progressed. He has struggled in the past with grappling based fighters.
It's amazing to think that at his age and the amount of fights he has had he is still working full time in a job!
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Crazy French guy :-)

May 3, 1999
At 6:23 p.m., an EF5 tornado touched down southwest of Chickasha. It tore through Bridge Creek, Oklahoma City, Moore, Del City, Tinker Air Force Base, and Midwest City. Houses were pulled clean off of their foundations. The $1.1 billion in damage made it the costliest single tornado in U.S. history. Though 36 people died, an early warning saved countless lives.


text: The tradition of All School Communion for many years was limited to two times a year - as the culmination of Orientation week on the eve before the beginning of classes, and on the Sunday prior to the start of the Spring Semester. As the Fall Semester of 2001 began, the idea of having once-a-month All School Worship and Communion services was being considered by the Student Chaplains and the Chapel Worship Team. The tragedy of 9/11 confirmed the need, and plans were set in place to begin having All School Worship and Communion services in Edman Chapel. While worship through music and praise had always been a way of giving back to the Lord, communion was a way of receiving from the Lord in a season of great loss and grief. In the intervening years since 2001, students have valued the spiritual resource of "All School" (as it has come to be called), and the opportunity to meet with the Lord in the light of His cross, to bring their lives before Him and receive from His table.

There's more to life than selling cookies - but it's not a bad way to make a living. The Deers All Dancing Deer employees are stakeholders in its profitability and share in the rewards of a well run, growing company. Dancing Deer believes that if people love what they're doing, it shows in the food. Dancing Deer developed this philosophy from the earliest days when they observed that baking "angry" would ruin a cake. How they got started There were three company founders; a talented baker, Suzanne Lombardi, who originated many of Dancing Deer's recipes, a theoretical physicist/business strategist, Ayis Antoniou, who loves to cook, and a business woman/artist, Trish Karter, whose passion is nature and the environment. All three have moved on, but many of their founding principles still remain with the people at Dancing Deer. Incorporated in April 1994 to provide high quality, all-natural baked goods to accompany the growing market for gourmet coffee, Dancing Deer started out in a former pizza parlor on a busy street corner with a couple of convection ovens. Their specialty was cakes, sold primarily to cafes and restaurants. In 1996 they brought out a line of packaged consumer goods under the Dancing Deer label. Not long after that they opened the doors to passers by who demanded access and forced Dancing Deer in to having a small retail operation. Dancing Deer surprised themselves, and a lot of other people, when they won the Food Industry's equivalent of the "Oscars" in 1997 for their Molasses Clove Cookie. That same year, a food writer from (no kidding) Hollywood arrived at Dancing Deer's counter looking for directions. Before they could really comprehend what was happening, Dancing Deer was on national TV being touted as making the "best cake in America". Dancing Deer had managed to have a toll free number up and running within 24 hours of receiving his call, and thus their mail order business was launched. Many more awards and honors have followed. It has been an interesting journey. Dancing Deer's successes are due to luck, a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work, and a commitment to having fun while being true to their principles. Dancing Deer has had failures as well - and survived them with a sense of humor. Their Name The company's namesake was the antique shop in Bar Harbor, Maine run by Suzanne Lombardi's grandmother, from whose recipe box also came the origins of Dancing Deer's signature Deep Dark Gingerbread Cake.

|PMP FAQs - Operating the PMP Program
1. How can the Startup Message be viewed?
On the Menubar, click on "View", then select "Show Message at Start-up".
2. Why does the model not let me input a certain temperature?
The models were developed over specific ranges of environmental variables. For example, the Aerobic A. hydrophila in Culture Media model was developed over a temperature range of 41?F (5?C) to 107.6F (42?C). The accuracy of predictions made inside (interpolation) this range is known. However, the accuracy of predictions made outside (extrapolation) of this range (e.g., 150?F) is not known, and the software does not permit such values to be entered.
3. Will the PMP run on a Macintosh computer?
No. The PMP was developed specifically for Microsoft operating systems.
4. How do I make the PMP plot the growth of multiple bacteria under any one set of particular conditions on the same graph?
You can't do this with the current PMP. At one point, the PMP (version 5.1) could display multi-organism predictions on one graph, however because of mistakes in interpretation by some food safety managers, we decided to remove this feature.
What you can do is 1) request a copy of version 5.1 (we'd have to mail you a CD), or 2) copy the tables from multiple growth predictions to excel and plot them there.
5. Some of the text is oversized and the Calculate button appears over on top of the "Initial Level" and "Level of Concern" inputs.
This is happening because your DPI (dots per inch) is set to High. To remedy this, begin by closing down any works in progress you might have open, because the change we are about to make will require a restart. Now, go to:
Start Menu => Control Panel => Display => Settings (tab) => Advanced (button) => General (tab)
Change the DPI from "Large size (120 DPI)" to "Normal size (96 DPI)
Note: if your control panel is in Classic View, you click "Appearance and Themes," then "Display"

After an initial wave of agreement, a new raft of polling about Trayvon Martin's killing is making news, with headlines that all feature variations on the theme that there is a "racial divide" on this story. The implication is that there are divergent, yet equivalent, viewpoints on the racial aspects of this story, but a look at the numbers clearly shows that most white people are, at best, confused, and it's not hard to see why.
The most glaring figure comes from a USA Today/Gallup poll in which people were asked "Would George Zimmerman have been arrested if the person he shot was white, or do you think (Trayvon) Martin's race did not make a difference?"
While 73% of black people said Zimmerman would have been arrested had his victim been white, only 33% of white people thought so. The story in that bit of info isn't "There's a racial divide," it's "67% of white people are wrong." If George Zimmerman gunned down a Skittle-wielding white kid, he'd be charged faster than a flux capacitor in a lightning storm. If you don't instinctively know that, the consistent racial disparities in our criminal justice system, particularly with regard to the race of the victim, ought to seal the deal.
Really, White People? New Polling On Trayvon Martin Shows White Folks Not Paying Attention

BERKELEY, CA -- Smartphone users who have wondered why their batteries run out of juice more quickly than expected have a new tool for identifying the problems that can deplete a battery's charge.
A team of researchers at UC Berkeley's Algorithms, Machines and People Laboratory has written an application for Apple iOS and Android devices that analyzes the programs running on the device that consume the most energy. The app was developed in order to conduct research into power consumption, with the objective of finding ways to improve battery efficiency.
Called Carat, the app performs an in-depth analysis of a smartphone, tablet or music player. Users download, install and run Carat on their mobile devices, allowing it to take periodic measurements of battery drain. Data are then transmitted to the research team's computers for analysis, and the results are returned to the user, along with solid advice for boosting battery life.
According to the researchers, the information gathered is kept confidential, and the reports generated are specific to a device. They provide information on what apps seem to be using more energy than normal. For example, a Carat user could learn whether a program running on his or her device, such as Twitter, is using substantially more energy than it does on other users' equipment. This could indicate a software "bug" or incorrect use. The software also compiles information for the project about popular programs that consume a great deal of power ("hogs").
Essentially, the project offers a trade. Users get detailed reports on how to squeeze more battery life from their devices, while the researchers gather data on what apps are the biggest energy hogs, and the software bugs that shorten battery life.
The application and information about its use and its purpose may be found at carat.cs.berkeley.edu.

Chris Davis keeps up Miguel Cabrera impersonation with monster day
Less than two years ago, Chris Davis was a prospect who hadn't panned out, a trade chip whom the Rangers used to acquire a reliever for their stretch run. Now he's found a home in Baltimore, and with every passing day, he continues to cement his place among the game's top sluggers, outhitting even 2012 Triple Crown and MVP winner Miguel Cabrera. On Wednesday, Davis clubbed his major league leading 25th and 26th homers in a 13-3 rout of the Tigers.
Davis' first homer came at the expense of starter Rick Porcello, a two-run shot to leftfield that broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning. Baltimore broke the game open by scoring four more times in the frame, three via a Taylor Teagarden homer. After Davis added an RBI double off Evan Reed during a three-run rally in the seventh, he crushed another two run homer — his sixth in his last eight games — this time off struggling Jose Valverde amid a four-run ninth:
The 27-year-old first baseman is all over the American League leaderboard, now hitting .337/.413/.720 numbers that rank second, second and first, respectively. Additionally, he leads the league lead in OPS (1.132) and total bases (190), ranked second in RBIs (66) and doubles (23) and third in runs scored (51). He began the day leading in OPS+ (195) and third in WAR among position players (3.3), but with the WAR-calculating elves cashing in their vacation day, I don't have an updated total for that.
Davis' 26 homers are seven more than either Edwin Encarnacion or Cabrera, who are tied for second in the league. In fact, he stacks up pretty well against Cabrera (again, OPS+ and WAR don't include today):
Davis has the better power numbers by a wide margin, but Cabrera is a hitting machine with the edge in batting average, on-base percentage and WAR. Even before accounting for Wednesday (when Cabrera collected two hits), it's hardly a runaway lead, though it's helped by the latter managing to hold down the fort at third; both players are six runs below average at their positions according to Defensive Runs Saved, the fielding input for Baseball-Reference.com's version of WAR.
All in all, that's not a bad return for a player whom the Orioles acquired — along with Tommy Hunter — for Koji Uehara on July 30, 2011. A fifth-round pick by the Rangers back in 2006, Davis had spent parts of four seasons trying to establish himself in Texas, mostly with diminishing returns, not to mention a fair amount of shifting between third base and first base. He hit .285/.331/.549 with 17 homers in 80 games as a rookie in 2008, but slumped to .238/.284/.442 the following year, striking out a whopping 150 times in 419 plate appearances, and spending a chunk of the season back in Triple-A. Continued contact problems limited him to one homer and a .192/.279/.292 line in 45 major league games in 2010, by which point he had begun to look a whole lot like a Quad-A player. While he made a slightly better showing during his brief time with the Rangers in 2011, by that point the team had Adrian Beltre locked in at third base and Mitch Moreland at first base, with Michael Young available to back up both. Davis was suddenly expendable, hence the trade.improved plate discipline Red Sox Manny Machado J.J. Hardy

This year's Fiesta Bowl Block Party is all about new traditions, new additions, and celebrating the New Year.
This year marks the 27th Annual Fiesta Bowl Block Party, Arizona's biggest New Year's Eve celebration. Attendees can expect to see headlining band Jimmy Eat World and opening band The Maine take the main stage, university bands marching through downtown, nonstop entertainment, the two fireworks displays kicking off 2011 and much more.
More than 100,000 locals and visiting college football fanatics annually attend the Fiesta Bowl Block Party, a family friendly event.
Because the Block Party had to relocate last year to the Mill Avenue District between Rio Salado and University, Rich Ripley, Fiesta Bowl Block Party's event coordinator, said the relocation hasn't and won't hinder the success of the Block Party.
In fact, the relocation of the event has allowed them to put entertainment on every corner in downtown Tempe, and the light rail provides easy access to the Block Party.
So what was the real challenge this year, according to Ripley?
"Our challenge every year is how to keep the event fresh for the people that attend," Ripley said. "Some of the new things this year are a stage for Scandelesque, an outdoor sports club, [and] the video dance display. We also keep old favorites that people love like Dueling Pianos and the Craig Davis Magic Show."
The multimedia displays are a new addition to the Block Party this year. They will add a sound and light experience never seen before.
"We have basically taken a dance club and put it into the middle of an intersection," Ripley said. "We have had [it] at the Block Party for 7 or 8 years. We decided to move it to the Center of the Party and make it fun for everyone who attends."
As for a new tradition added to the event, it started last year – the confetti blast at midnight.
"Our midnight tradition now is our confetti blast with the fireworks in the sky," Ripley said. "People love it and we have made it a tradition. It is quite amazing to be in the middle of that."
27th Annual Fiesta Bowl Block Party:
December 31, 2010
5 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Heat Transfer Research at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University
Heat transfer addresses the transport of energy due to conduction, convection and radiation and impacts nearly every area of industrial practice, including aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, chemical and materials processing, electronics, energy and environmental engineering, combustion, materials and manufacturing, and many others. Heat transfer research focuses on understanding, measuring and simulating thermal phenomena, exploiting these phenomena to design and manufacture efficient devices and systems and limiting the deleterious effects of high or low temperatures on system performance.
Nanoengineering Laboratory
Research in the Nanoengineering Laboratory focuses on understanding fundamental nanoparticle interactions with the local radiative and molecular environments, and using the observed phenomena for a wide range of applications including nanoscale energy conversion systems and optical sensors. Research efforts for technological breakthroughs are often inspired by biological processes in nature. The effort includes design and fabrication of nanoparticles with molecular recognition domain, particularly using quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and various biomaterials. The novel properties of these nanomaterials are exploited to study nanoscale energy and charge transfer processes, and to develop novel devices with new levels of system control at the nanoscale. Characterization techniques include absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy ranging from UV to near-infrared, with an emphasis on fluorescent single nanoparticle imaging and spectroscopy. Additionally, spectro-electrochemistry and Raman spectroscopy are methods commonly used.
Biotransport Phenomena Laboratory
Biotransport phenomena are heat and mass transfer processes in biological and physiological systems. These are complex and multi-scale processes including thermal, mechanical, biological and chemical interactions. Moreover, recent developments of bionanotechnologies demand better understanding and control of transport processes of nanomaterials in biological systems. In order to address these challenges, Biotransport Phenomena Laboratory performs experimental and theoretical research to obtain quantitative knowledge of biotransport processes, and to control and facilitate the transport processes for innovative biomedical devices and technologies. Current research projects include thermal therapy and its image-guidance for cancer, drug delivery and its enhancement using nano-carriers, biopreservation of cell and tissue engineering products, and microfluidics for cell and tissue processing.
Heat Transfer in Laser Micro- and Nano-Processing and Manufacturing
The Center for Laser Micro-Fabrication at Purdue University carries out combined experimental and theoretical studies on laser-based manufacturing and materials processing at small length scales (micrometers to nanometers) and short time scales (nanoseconds to femtoseconds). Current research areas include energy transfer during ultrafast laser – matter interaction (an ultrafast laser is a laser with a pulse width less than 1 picosecond), ultrafast laser optical engineering, near-field nanoscale optical engineering, and micro- and nano-scale device development and fabrication. The Center has eight state-of-the-art laser systems including an ultrafast laser, an excimer laser, Nd:YLF/YAG/VA lasers, a fiber laser, an argon ion laser, and a CO2 laser, and two atomic force microscopes capable of near field scanning optical measurements. These experimental facilities together with parallel numerical simulation tools are being used for both fundamental (experimental and numerical) and applied research.
Advanced Cooling Technologies
Research in the area of high-performance compact cooling technologies for electronics as well as electronics packaging is carried out in the Cooling Technologies Research Center, an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center of the National Science Foundation. The research is focused on the development of novel thermal microsystems, understanding fundamental micro- and nano-scale thermal phenomena, materials processing as well as solidification and phase change. Examples of recent research projects include microchannel transport, micropumps, electrowetting, microscale ion driven air flow, miniature piezoelectric fans, thin-film evaporation, and transport through foams and wick structures.
Nanoscale Transport Research Group
Research efforts in the Nanoscale Thermo-Fluids Laboratory include simulations and measurements of nanoscale heat transfer, coupled electro-thermal effects in semiconductor devices, nanoscale direct energy conversion, molecular electronics, microfluidic devices, hydrogen storage, and subcontinuum computational methods. Efforts include theoretical, computational, and experimental studies focused toward integration of nanoscale materials with bulk materials for enhancement of electrical, thermal, and mass transport properties. Applications of this work cover a broad range of areas, including nanoelectronics, thermal interface materials, thermal-electrical energy conversion, biosensors, and hydrogen storage. This work has also produced related studies of controlled synthesis of nanomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes.
Computational Methods for Emerging Technologies
Research in the COMET laboratory focuses on the development of numerical models and methodologies to address a wide variety of industrial applications, as well as emerging areas in nanotechnology. Research has focused on the development of general purpose, broadly applicable unstructured solution-adaptive computational techniques for fluid flow and heat transfer, numerical methods for radiative transport, reduced-order modeling and multiscale computational techniques spanning micro-, meso- and macro scales. Recent research has addressed emerging ultra-scaled microelectronics, novel CNT composite-based macroelectronics, electro-thermal co-design of electronics, phase-change memory technologies, ultra-fast laser manufacturing, as well as the fundamentals of nanoscale thermal and fluid transport. Research in this area has been supported by NSF, DARPA, DOE, the state of Indiana and industry.
Nano Thermo-Physical Engineering Laboratory
The behavior of any physical system can be related to atomic-scale description. With an atomic-level knowledge of the energy carrier (photon, electron, phonon, and fluid particle) characteristics and behaviors, one is able to move up to design nano- and micro-structures with the desired size effects, or to synthesize new materials with the desired functions. Research at the Nano Thermo-Physical Engineering Lab seeks to build and expand the understanding of the fundamentals of atomic-level carrier transport and interactions, and to apply this knowledge to important energy and information technologies. Current projects include the engineering of electron-phonon coupling in quantum dot solar cells, enhanced laser cooling of semiconductors and ion-doped solids, controlled thermal emission using modulated micro- and nano-structures, thermo-optical management of nano-lasers, etc.

Making shirts for a living?
I'm a designer by trade and I was wondering of the opinions of you all in regards to my future plans. I want to start making screen printed tshirts as a side job and once it grows, I can focus on it full time. Does anyone have any experience that they can share?

Russell W. Knight Department of Maritime Art and History
PEM's internationally renowned maritime holdings communicate personal and collective experiences of the sea during the formative times of the modern world. By their very nature, these works cross geographic, cultural and traditional disciplinary boundaries in ways that broaden perspectives, attitudes and knowledge of the individual within our world of infinite global connections.
The extremely diverse collection area dates to the genesis of the institution - the formation of the East India Marine Society in 1799. More than two centuries of collecting have produced the finest and most comprehensive assemblage of art and objects relating to the sea in the country, including grand gold-framed oil paintings, drawings, ship models, marine decorative arts, tools, weapons, navigational instruments and ship and yacht plans. Particular strengths lie in marine painting, works on paper and ship carving from the 17th through the early 20th centuries.

MONROVIA - A student-run, grass-roots campaign to save a Monrovia High School counselor's job is culminating this week at a budget workshop.
Students plan to speak out at the Monrovia Unified School District town-hall-style meeting Wednesday in support of Noel Hernandez, who received a preliminary layoff notice in March.
Hernandez has been at Monrovia for five years, and is well-liked by students for her college and career counseling work.
"She's more than just a counselor, she's someone who's really involved in the culture of Monrovia High School," said Giselle Moreau, a Stanford-bound senior who is spearheading the campaign. "If you're going to rip her out of there and start from scratch, it's going to take a while to get back up."
The campaign, Hernandez 2012, has already gained support through a campus silent rally, a letter-writing effort and a coordinated social networking presence.
The students held another rally Friday at Library Park, featuring student bands Poseidon of the Sun and Hibiscus, though it was sparsely attended because of a publicity problem.
They're billing participation in Wednesday's budget workshop as "Our Last Stand." It will be at the Santa Fe Middle School gym, 148 W. Duarte Road, at 7 p.m.
Hernandez's position is in jeopardy because a three-year federal grant funding the district's elementary counseling program has run out, Superintendent Linda Wagner said.
The district bases layoffs on seniority, so Hernandez could be let go to allow another counselor to move from an elementary school to the high school.
The district wanted to continue its elementary counseling program, but layoffs are expected after Gov. Jerry Brown's revised budget figures are released in May, Wagner said.
"The important message is that we have not decided yet," she added. "Every position is on the table for consideration, counselors no more than any other. ... It's just that they're the focus because of this grant."
Monrovia's Board of Trustees likely will make layoff decisions before its 2012-13 budget is finalized in June.
The Hernandez 2012 campaign is proposing alternatives such as restructuring Hernandez's position to include career counseling in her job description.
"We want to make sure there are college and career nights, that there are FAFSA nights, all the events that she creates to make sure we get where we need," campaign leader Dushani De Silva said.
Hernandez declined to comment about the campaign, and hasn't participated in the various events supporting her.
Moreau said the counselor has treaded carefully because other jobs are also at risk, though students are hoping their focus on one person will extend to other positions.
"We wanted to hone in," Moreau said. "Our short-term goal is to find a way to save her job, and to save her skills and her assets so she can contribute that to Monrovia High School."
Much like school district throughout the state, Monrovia has already struggled with cuts in the past few years as the state budget shrank.
Class sizes in kindergarten through third grade have increased from 20 to 30, five school days were eliminated and the high school's block schedule was eliminated, according to Wagner.
The district's top-rated elementary nutrition program could also lose its federal grant for next school year, though funding could be saved because of its success.

Navy Shooter's Note Blames Radio Wave 'Torment'
(NEWSER) – In addition to releasing surveillance video of Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis creeping through hallways during his attack, the FBI revealed that Alexis left a note of sorts. "An ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last three months, and to be perfectly honest, that is what has driven me to this," said the message found either on his laptop or another electronic device, reports USA Today. It meshes with his complaint to police a month before the shooting that assailants were attacking him with a "microwave machine."

LISTEN: Trent Reznor goes POP (with a little help from Carly Rae Jepsen)
Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio
Nine Inch Nails are inadvertently helping to bring "Call Me Maybe" back into the spotlight. A producer who goes by the Internet moniker pomDeter has created a mash-up featuring the Carly Rae Jepsen hit and the Trent Reznor-led band's song "Head Like a Hole."
Check it out:
PomDeter was apparently inspired to create the new version - dubbed "Call Me a Hole" -- by a Reddit user who posted an open request asking someone to combine the two tracks under the working title "really bad Friday night."
And while "Call Me Maybe" and "Head Like a Hole" seem like an odd pair at first, they may have been destined for each other. Entertainment Weekly points out that the man who mixed Jepsen's song, Dave Ogilvie, also remixed songs for Nine Inch Nails and co-produced Marilyn Manson's album Antichrist Superstar with Reznor.

Solar Powered Bug Zapper
By Mike
from Sacramento CA
This Zapper really works. I'm most pleased with it's effectiveness. It hangs in my backyard next to the gazebo and only gets 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight a day, so it never gets fully charging. Even with this limitation, it works about 4 hours into the night and has reduced overall bugs significantly. I've owned it for 3 weeks now. I clean it out every other day with a compressed air can and there are tons of dead bugs. It's nice to have it self contained with solar power (no electrical cords). Note: this unit does not have the sound of a regular electric zapper. It kills them quietly and all you see a burning light when they connect.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good for the money.
By Sidecar
from Patchogue, NY
Good buy for the money. Not as powerfull as the plug-in types, but it does zap small insects including mosquitoes, which was what I wanted from this unit. But,being Solar powered, it turns on at sunset which is kind of late for a lawn party and runs after everyone goes home.

Doesn't help for mosquitos
By daisy
from CANADA
The concept, design is great! I love that its solar and non-toxic! Its well constructed, durable, gives of nice blue light, recharges well... kills some of those big flying bugs but doesn't attract mosquitos! They just laugh at it and fly around it! Even sitting right beside it on my patio, I was still getting bitten constantly. Tried it camping in the tent the first night when mosquitos had gotten in, still ended up having to swat them all night! Makes a nice - expensive - night light! Disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Please remember that we back this item with a lifetime guarantee of satisfaction. If you would like to return or exchange, please contact us at 1-800-321-1484.

Great present for my Dad! He opened it up and hung it outside on the porch right away. It was charged up by the end of the day! Works great, glows purple and kills bugs. Does not harm butterflies, dragon flies or larger insects because it has a screening around the zapper part. Would be great for camping too!

Perfect Solution for My Problem
By Katzpaws
from Candler NC
After first night both lights were full of moths requiring the grill to be cleaned out. They are not as powerful as some electric lights I've had in the past but seem to be doing just as effective a job at night as electric models. Wish they would come on a bit earlier at dusk to begin attracting. My 2 lights don't come on until completely dark and there is no way to adjust this feature.

Monsoons, No Problem
By The Cat Whisperer
from Pembroke Pines, Florida
My neighbor has a jungle of a yard behind us and the mosquitoes were quite unbearable. Though it has been non stop raining, I am in Florida, since my purchase there has been enough sunlight to charge the zapper to have it last from dusk to midnight. There is a significant decrease in the little vampires. I can't wait for it to be able to have a full charge.

TORINO, Italy -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (Waterbury, VT) and Luigi Lavazza S.p.A have announced an agreement under which Lavazza will purchase $250 million (aggregate purchase price) of newly issued GMCR 10¢ par value common stock, approximately 7% of GMCR's current outstanding shares.
The pact specifies a price per share equal to the 60-day volume weighted average price at closing, minus 7.5%. The accord is expected to close in September, subject to regulatory approval.
GMCR reported that it intends to use the proceeds of the stock sale for general corporate purposes, including financing growth plans. GMCR's estimates for its fiscal fourth quarter 2010 and fiscal 2011, published on July 28, remain unchanged.
The two companies also announced that they are exploring a further agreement under which GMCR and Lavazza would cooperate to develop new espresso machines, which would be manufactured by Lavazza, as well as espresso capsules for them. The jointly developed machines would complement GMCR's line of Keurig single-cup coffee brewers. If the pact is consummated, the new products would appear during GMCR's 2013 fiscal year, at the earliest.
The additional agreement also may afford GMCR the ability to distribute, market and sell existing single-cup coffee machines incorporating Lavazza espresso technology for in-home use in the U.S. and Canada.

Best Nipple Cream - Lanolin or No Lanolin?
Hi ladies,
Just wondering if anyone has a preference between lanolin based nipple creams and non lanolin creams? I'm just curious as to whether one has a faster healing rate when it comes to sore nipples? Also, are there any which decrease the chance of getting thrush?
3rd April 2014 05:32 AM #2
Dear Susannah,
Thank you for posting this interesting question.
My personal preference has been to use a lanolin product. When establishing breastfeeding with my baby I also always squeeze a little breastmilk out onto the breast at the end of the feed and gently rub this into the nipple. Interestingly, this study into the use of lanolin found that breastmilk alone was most beneficial to healing nipples.
One study in 2010 (published in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology) found that lanolin significantly decreased nipple pain. Further review of previous studies and literature indicate that there are some inconsistencies (and more research is needed) but both expressed breastmilk and lanolin products have been shown to heal nipples and decrease pain. I have not seen studies which have shown the same about non-lanolin based creams.
With non lanolin creams you obviously need to clean/wipe them off before the baby feeds again which can cause some discomfort to the nipples.
There are prescribed creams for if you have thrush. However, in terms of preventing thrush it is important to allow your nipples to air dry and to keep your breast pads clean and changed often enough. Having sore/cut nipples increases the chance of thrush, therefore, the evidence would point that lanolin based products (rather than non-lanolin products) are best for hopefully avoiding thrush.
I look forward to reading other members' experiences on this interesting topic.
Warm wishes,

The transitions of three young Canadian men are each severe and mystifying: a confident, ambitious student-council president in Hamilton who snuck away to fight with ISIS in Syria; a poker-playing party guy in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu who steered his car into two soldiers; and, the most recent to force headlines, a troubled drug addict and petty criminal who shot dead a soldier on ceremonial duty in Ottawa before storming Canada's Parliament.
Each came from a different place, geographically but also socially, but all ended up in a similar space, as bit players in a driving global narrative of Westerners swapping normality — traversing the spectrum from laudable to disgraceful — for a life and quick death consumed by extremist ideology and violent aggression.
And in each case, what has thusly emerged as a common thread is not a clandestine sect of militant recruiters in Canada mentoring selected targets but rather a…

Extreme rib & chest pain
Hi, im 33weeks pregnant with my second baby boy... i have been experiencing some EXTREME chest & rib pain in the last few weeks. i asked my midwife but she says its just everything stretching. my pan is getting so bad that i am loosing my breath & am in tears everytime my baby boy moves... under my breats gets really hot, stingy & itchy & gets very red because it is itchy & i scratch... i have tried creams & powders & different bra's etc & none work(i do not wear underwire)... im only short so i dont know if that is why... i cannot handle the pain anymore & would like to know what you think it could be & if it persists would there be a possibility of inducing me as i cannot handle it?

Hi DanniH - Welcome to the forum.
Has the symptoms changed since you've seen your midwife? Have you called her to let her know the pain is extreme? Have you seen a doctor or sort a second opinion? There can be many causes of the symptoms you have described. Itchiness and redness under your breasts could be a thrush infection for example. You will need an assessment to work out the cause of your chest pain and the rash under your breasts. I hope this helps.

You need to talk to your midwife and GP first. Providing they give you the all clear that nothing is wrong then call an osteopath as it could be a rib and vertebral restriction that has gone acute and can probably be helped quickly.

Hi DanniH,
Welcome to the forum - I hope we can do our best to support you through your pregnancy on here.
I would certainly second the comments above and speak to your midwife again or GP.
Another thought I had - I experienced some rib pain during the third trimester of my last pregnancy. The ribs expand and move upwards during pregnancy as the baby grows bigger. Have you had a bra fitting recently? I know you say you have tried different bras but your bra size may have changed quite a lot from pre-pregnancy which is why a proper fitting may help. I found I needed a significantly different sized bra during my last pregnancy, and sometimes I couldn't wear a bra at all, in order to reduce the rib pain I had. However, I didn't experience this as extreme pain which is why I would contact your midwife again.
Best wishes,

Bub is 80% engaged but still up in my ribs ive even asked for an ultrasound to see if he is just big but they wont allow me to get 1 because i am measuring right.

You have got the all clear from GP and Midwife - call the Osteopath! Where do you live and I'll try to recommend someone for you. You do not need to suffer!

Unfortunately at this point in time we cannot afford to see an osteopath i am situated in townsville in QLD & due to the constant pain i am finishing work within a week.

It sounds like your GP isn't very sympathetic, but I would ask if he /she refer you to a physiotherapist? There are some brilliant physios out there. I wish I was there to help you but am unfortunately a few hours away.
(07) 4775 5755 Dr Louise Mary in Gulliver, I'd recommend you ring them and ask if they know if Medicare can give you a care plan. They may know of funding ways so that you could be seen. You never know unless you ask. I have emailed them. But you do need to phone
I hope you are more comfortable soon. Take care.

Hi Danni - I am sorry you didn't get any answers from your midwife and doctors visit. As Roger said a physiotherapy appointment might be helpful. Sometimes the local hospital offers physiotherapists that specialise in pregnancy and you don't pay any out of pocket fees. Usually you need a doctors referral though. Did you try Prantal Powder under your breasts?

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To test the safety and efficacy of acupuncture in reducing hot flashes in men with advanced prostate cancer (CaP) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. METHODS: A single-arm, pilot study was undertaken to evaluate acupuncture treatment for hot flashes experienced by CaP patients undergoing hormonal therapy. Sixteen advanced CaP patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) received standardized full body and auricular acupunc-ture 1x/week for 14 weeks. Patients were evaluated at 0, 7, 14, and an additional 14-wk follow-up (F/U) (28-wks). Safety was measured by monitoring for adverse events over the treatment period. Serum testosterone was measured at 0 and 14-wks. Quality of life (QOL) was measured by the hormone domain of the Expanded Prostate Index Composite (EPIC), at the 0, 7, 14, and 28-wks and patient reported hot flash frequency was assessed weekly. Safety endpoints were serum testosterone and analysis of adverse events. Efficacy endpoints were scores on the EPIC and the number of pa-tient reported hot flashes. RESULTS: 17 patients were enrolled and 15 completed the trial. Of 15 evaluable patients the median age was 68 ± 8.19. Serum analysis demonstrated no change in testosterone at baseline 9.5 ng/ml ± 8.9 vs. end-point 14 ± 8.78 (p = 0.101). No adverse events were reported. Data analysis of the EPIC demonstrated a trend toward improvement after 7 wks and a significant improvement following 14 wks of acupuncture (p = 0.01). Analysis of patient reported frequency showed a significant reduction in the number of hot flashes at 7-wk (6, p = 0.04), 14-wk (2.6, p = 0.001), and 28-wk F/U (3.2, p = 0.01) as compared to baseline 9.57 ± 3.98. CONCLUSIONS: The administration of acupuncture in men with advanced CaP appears to significantly decrease the frequency of hot flashes. No serious ad-verse events were noted and serum testosterone levels were unchanged from baseline suggesting that the mechanism of action of acupuncture for hot flash amelioration is not via increase in testosterone.

A failed attempt to compensate residents whose property is "devalued by the installation" of high-voltage power lines is not stopping Assemblyman Curt Hagman.
Hagman, R-Chino Hills, presented a bill that proposes Chino Hills homeowners receive "compensation for any substantial reduction value of their property resulting from the building, expansion or operation of a plant, line, pipeline or other facility by a public utility."
Assembly Bill 2235 is inspired by the $2.1 billion Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, which was approved by the state Public Utility Commission in 2009.
"This has been my mission for the last five to six years, I always never give up hope," said Hagman, a former mayor of Chino Hills.
"I'm still going to continue working this bill's language so my colleagues feel comfortable, with either to limit the size and scope of the project or to compensate the homeowners for the loss of home value."
The project travels through a five-mile stretch of Chino Hills and is intended to carry wind-generated electricity from Kern County to the Los Angeles Basin, part of a state mandate to use more sustainable energy.
The transmission poles and towers have been installed by Southern California Edison from Chino Hills' western border near Tonner Canyon through the city and eventually going into Riverside County.
Edison has already built the 200-foot high tubular steel poles above ground in its right-of-way.
City officials and the grassroots group Hope for the Hills have advocated building the project underground or through neighboring Chino Hills State Park.
The city has spent more than $2 million fighting Edison on the project.
Hagman said although the bill failed April 23 in the Utilities and Commerce Committee, reconsideration has been granted, which means he will go back to the drawing board on the bill, make some edits and rally more supporters.
"It is really difficult for these legislators until they see what is going on in our own backyards...," he said.
"Even with pictures and everything I brought, I don't think they really truly understand the impact to the community until they see it first hand, just like the CPUC commissioners did."
Chino Hills Mayor Art Bennett said he suspected the bill was going to get some pushback from the Utilities and Commerce Committee.
Bennett as well as Bob Goodwin, president of the Hope for the Hills, testified and advocated with Hagman at the hearing in Sacramento.
"To be candid with you, all along I thought the language was too broad, and that there will probably be considerable opposition with the bill and that's exactly what happened," Bennett said.
"The good news is (Hagman) is trying to protect our residents with a bill that will provide compensation when utility companies come in and built monster towers. If this legislation was in place before, it would provide a way for the people affected by this construction to get compensation."
Bennett said the reality is any time legislation is crafted that looks to protect people from utility companies it is bound to be an uphill fight.
"I am hopeful that we can come up with something that can give protection to Chino Hills homeowners. But it's going to be very difficult to craft language that members who have large utility companies with in their jurisdiction are going to buy off on," he said.
"It has the potential to create a major liability with electric utilities, and I think history will show that anything that makes them compensate people for what they do will be hard to pass."
This is not Hagman's first attempt to help curtail the towers. Before the towers event went up, Hagman has tried to pass bills that prohibit the size of towers and set standards for the width of the easements based on height and distance.
Goodwin said while this current bill doesn't solve the larger issue, it is a good first step in providing residents some recourse.
"I think it gets the attention this subject needs internationally - right now there is no regulations, laws, ordinances that prohibits this from happening to anyone, any place," Goodwin said.
"It gets the discussion started because right now Edison has the ability to do what every they want because they've had this easement since 1941."

The Wizard of OSCON – Day 2
First things first: There is a Wizard of OSCON. I'll reveal that person's identity — without having to go behind the curtain — at the end of the blog (and no fair going straight to the bottom).
The second day followed the same playbook from most large shows. Following a tsunami of people on day one of the exhibition, the second day of the exhibition is more tempered and there are less people. But there's an up side to the latter, specifically that we're able to talk at length about matters Fedora.
Being chained to the booth — and I say that as if it's a bad thing, but it's not — I was unable to go to any of the sessions. Not a problem there, since talking to people in the booth is a lot more enjoyable. So dealing with questions about Fedora, introducing the distro and talking to people about FOSS suits me better.
The people come in waves, thanks to the sessions, no doubt. The folks who visited the booth for the past two days, as they do at all large shows, come in a wide range of experience levels. Fielding questions from "What is Fedora?" to the most detailed questions about the kernel — passed off to someone more experienced, of course — the range of questions and the ever-increasing number of people reflect that FOSS is gaining a healthy glow in the grand scheme of things.
Best SWAG: Overall, the SWAG at the event has been good. Three items stand out and I'll rank them from third to first. Finishing third would be the Firehost playing cards, and you might ask why the Firehost toilet paper wouldn't rank until you actually used it (nice idea, bad execution, Firehost).
Finishing second, and most would consider this the winner, would be the tattoo sleeves from Rackspace. You put this sleeve on your arm and, assuming you're skin tone is a range of pink to white, you have an arm covered with Rackspace tattoos.
The best swag of the event goes to Chisimba, a South African outlet at the show. Since South Africa just hosted the World Cup, they brought Chisimba.com vuvuzelas. Orange vuvuzelas.
And now we're off to meet the wizard: The one person who always makes OSCON work for us — the one who pulls administrative rabbits out of hats and who is a textbook go-to person — would be O'Reilly's May Munji. Thanks, May, for making the shows a great experience for those of us toiling in the booth trenches.
Tomorrow: The OSCON epilogues.

Thanks for ranking our swag. 🙂
I must say that the TP quality was mandated by the OCC. So if our sponsorship wouldn't have been involved, the quality would have been the same. Great event though.
