Jaspers Defeat Detroit For First MAAC Win
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - Brian McGrath scored three goals and added an assist as the Manhattan men's lacrosse team picked up an 8-6 win over Detroit Saturday afternoon at Gaelic Park. The victory was the third in four games for the Jaspers who improved to 4-5, 1-1 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play. It also snapped a three game win streak for the Titans who fell to 5-5, 2-1 in the MAAC.
What began as a very low scoring affair saw the University of Detroit Mercy jump out to a 2-0 lead with goals from Brandon Beauregard and Shayne Adams. With less than a minute left in the first quarter, Brett Madarasz took a pass into the middle of the field and fired a shot past A.J. Levell to get the Jaspers on the board.
Manhattan would hold Detroit scoreless for the entire second period, but would find an equalizer when a wayward pass found the stick of Paul Moreau who was able to beat Levell five-hole with 1:45 remaining in the half. With the score knotted going into the second half, UDM would again score first as Adams notched his second goal of the game.
The Jaspers would then reel off four unanswered goals coming from Moreau along with Brian McGrath, Tyler Jarvis and Ryan Payton. The scores from Jarvis and Payton would be on the extra man opportunity as Manhattan was 2-6 on the man-up.
Leading 6-3, Detroit fought back with a Scott Drummond goal to finish the third quarter. The Titans added another from Tom Masterson to cut the lead to one with 8:39 remaining in the fourth period. McGrath would then score two consecutive goals to push Manhattan back up by three. Adams finished off his hat trick late in the game but it wasn't enough to complete a comeback.
Defensively, Rich Akapnitis (3-2) was stalwart in net tying his career high in saves with 19 while also picking up a game high 11 ground balls. Midfielder Alex Grandal also caused three of the nine turnovers forced by the Jaspers. Manhattan was outshot 43-33 but picked up six more ground balls than Detroit (48-42) and were successful in 19 of 24 clear attempts.
Freshman Brian Lenskold helped to keep the Jaspers with possession winning 12 of 18 face-offs. For UDM, Levell made a total of 13 saves in the loss
Manhattan continues its season long three game home stand with an out of conference game against Wagner on Tues., April 3 at 7 p.m. at Gaelic Park.

The 42m Nedship Project BaiaMare has a high quality finishing based on a practical use and a reliable design. The layout is based on a private yacht. On the upper deck, mainly the Master Suite is located. A private outside area on the aft upper deck is foreseen. On hull #1 "BaiaMare", the yacht will have 1 Master Suite on the upper deck, 1 VIP cabin on the main deck and 4 guest cabins on the lower deck. A lot of outside areas will complete this general arrangement. There is a sitting area on the bow section, a fly deck on top of the Master suite including a Jacuzzi, a bar, a sitting group, and a sitting group on the main deck aft side.
On the crew side there is the pilot house with an en suite captain cabin. The galley is in combination with a laundry and service desk. The crew quarter has the entrance through the galley and a garage with a lot of space for many toys and tenders is located behind the engine room.
The tunnel propulsion system allows the yacht to cruise or anchor in shallow waters or bays and brings also more economical advantages to the yacht.
The fantastic Master suite offers a lot of amenities including a private terrace for the owner, a spacious bath room with big windows, a private office, dressing room with lots of space for the wardrobe, and the entrances can be closed or opened by the owner to decide if he wants to stay private or open to the other guests and crew.
The salon area has a spacious layout By using a lot of loose furniture, the owner can arrange his own layout so that the configuration can be changed from time to time without creating immense costs. • For storage the main of the table ware will be stored in the service desk following the salon, beside the galley. There are a lot of windows creating alot of light in the salon. Fine and high quality colors, fabrics and leathers are well chosen and The entertainment is a state of the art solution

As I'm pretty new to MMA I wanted to know if any one had any experience of London shootfighters, the classes, the facilities, the general atmosphere?
I'v heard some good things but also that some bank robbers trained there in the past. I don't want to cast aspersions on London shootfighters and I apologise if I'm wrong but I don't want to go and train at a club that would attract this type of people.

For us our house is a place where we can relax, be with our family, meet many friends, and have long dinners and good talk together. We shared our house by house-exchange and couchsurfing and love to meet people from different countries and cultures.
Our house is a big city house with a small, cosy garden with a big tree and enough place to relax if the weather is nice.
We have a small but convenient kitchen which can be used on request.
Your sleeping room is on the second floor of the house. (The stairs in dutch houses are quite steep!) It is a big room (20m2) and the bed is 1.60 x 2.00 long. If you are with 3 or 4 people, it is occasionally possible to be hosted in a second big room on the same floor. Ask us for possibilities and prices. Bedding and towels are provided, so no need of taking towels with you! On the first floor is the (shared) bathroom, with a shower, bath and toilet. The bathroom is a bit "old-fashioned" and it's our next "project" to renovate.
If you stay longer then 3 nights, we can change your bedding if you want.
Towels can be changed as often as you want!
You have your own wardrobe, where you can put your clothes and where you will find more towels.
Also there is a hairdryer, two bathrobes and two pair of slippers at your disposal.
On your room there is a water-cooker and a coffe-maker. Tea and coffee are for free.
There is free Wifi.
Our house is a non-smoking area. Smokers can use the garden.
Parking your car for free is possible. You can park in an area which is a few streets behind our house. Parking shortly in front of our house (3 hours) is also possible, but after 3 hours, you will have to turn the parking-card to a new time, so that's a bit of a hussle and we advice the other possibility.
- We have a female cat, named "Tarzan"
- The house is on walking distance of the city centre
- In the center you will find musea (Frans Hals), beautiful old dutch houses, the old townhall, the Bavo-church, the famous "hofjes", and many parks

- The beach (Bloemendaal at Sea and Zandvoort) is on bicycle distance as well
- Supermarket around the corner
- A "plaza" with trees, is at the corner of the street

- Haarlem is proclaimed to be the best "shopping city" of the Netherlands
We are pleased to give you any information about renting a bicycle, taking the train or the bus to the beach, visiting musea and old area's in Haarlem, Amsterdam etc.
House rulesWe ask you to treat our house and us, the family who lives in it with the same respect as we will treat you.
No parties or drugs in the house, no "extra" guests without consulting us before and no "extreme" noise if you come home (very) late.
But coming home late at night is not a problem, because we will give you your own key of the house.

Reviews of this property
We had such a comfortable and pleasant time at Rob and Marion's for 3 nights. We did get a little lost trying to find the house, but the locals in Haarlem are insanely friendly - we were offered help by 6 people in the space of 20 minutes and with the help of these people, found the place. We arrived before check in and were greeted by the very friendly Rob. Just be aware of the stairs, as the room is on the top floor and if you have big suitcases like we did, it may be a struggle. We were left to do our own thing, with access to the kitchen, fridge etc. Rob and Marion were extremely helpful in suggesting places to go and how to get there too. They also called us a taxi to get us to the airport for our flight. The room was a perfect size, as too the bathroom we shared with them.
The area of Haarlem is so quite, peaceful and breathtaking. You will appreciate this soon after you go into the Amsterdam centre. Their house is about a 20 minute scenic walk to the main Haarlem Station (where you can catch the train to Amsterdam, a day pass/return to Amsterdam from Haarlem is €9.20).
We highly recommend doing the Free a walking tour with 360 adventures when you go into Amsterdam, you get a great feel for the city and cover a lot. Another must see is the Corrie Ten Boom house in Haarlem, which is another version of the Anna Frank House (which was sold out for us). The guide was so knowledgeable and funny, definitely a high light our trip.
We also had a wonderful time in Haarlem. The town is great and the distances to Amsterdam and the sea are optimal. Marion and Rob are so what of pleasant hosts, as there is nothing to complain about. The self-evident, looseness and openness that let them radiate hosted a think if you do not enjoy it even had to open his home for guests. Many thanks to both for this good experience
Claudia and daughter Hannah
Auch wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in Haarlem. Das Städtchen ist super und die Entfernungen nach Amsterdam und zum Meer sind optimal. Marion und Rob sind so was von angenehme Gastgeber, da gibt es gar nichts auszusetzen. Die Selbstverständlichkeit, Lockerheit und Offenheit die sie als Gastgeber ausstrahlen lassen einen nachdenken ob man nicht Freude daran hätte selbst sein Heim für Gäste zu öffnen. Vielen Dank an beide für diese gute Erfahrung
Claudia und Tochter Hannah

It was our first holiday we have booked through Wimdu and we liked it very well. Marion and Rob were very hospitable and always helpful.
Also our room was very clean, nice and cozy.
Haarlem is a beautiful city and this much more relaxed than Amsterdam.
We had a great holiday!

Es war unser erster Urlaub, den wir über Wimdu gebucht haben und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Marion und Rob waren sehr gastfreundlich und immer hilfsbereit.
Auch unser Zimmer war sehr sauber, schön und gemütlich.
Haarlem ist eine wunderschöne Stadt und dabei viel entspannter als Amsterdam.
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub!
Liebe Grüße Jonas und Marina
All very nice and uncomplicated.
Alles sehr schön und unkompliziert.
This was our first holiday with Wimdu. It has very good gefallen.Wir us were very hospitable, Marion gave us after greeting the same for coffee and cake eingeladen.Das room was very spacious, clean, practical and cozy eingerichtet.Die steep stairs were no problem for us, we were helped carry the suitcases.

Greeting Britta and Gabi
Das war unser erster Urlaub mit Wimdu. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.Wir wurden sehr gastfreundlich empfangen, Marion hat uns nach der Begrüßung gleich zu Kaffee und Kuchen eingeladen.Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig,sauber,zweckmäßig und gemütlich eingerichtet.Die steilen Treppen waren für uns kein Problem,uns wurde beim Tragen der Koffer geholfen. Zur Erkundung des Ortes wurden uns viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie bei Freunden.
Ein perfekter Urlaub, vielen Dank dafür.
Gruß Britta und Gabi
Away from the hustle and bustle, yet close to the center - 18 minutes by local train to Amsterdam Central Station - and every 10 minutes. That fits well because parks in Holland is generally only for lottery winners. This also applies to Haarlem - but Marion and Rob know as a parking ticket free zone, they like to show the guests. The accommodation is good, just with a bathroom, which use a room all residents together. The room beneath their roof can be reached via a relatively steep stairs - for older guests who are fit on the road might not, perhaps somewhat problematic. Otherwise all the best. Bicycle Distances: 5 minutes to the center, 5 minutes to the train station. 30 minutes to the beach by the Dunes State Park.
Abseits von Trubel und Hektik, und dennoch zentrumsnah - 18 Minuten mit dem Vorortzug nach Amsterdam Hauptbahnhof - und das alle 10 Minuten. Das passt bestens, da Parken in Holland generell nur etwas für Lotto-Gewinner ist. Das trifft auch auf Haarlem zu - aber Marion und Rob kennen da eine parkscheinfreie Zone, die sie den Gästen gern zeigen. Die Unterkunft ist gut, ein Zimmer halt mit Bad, das alle Hausbewohner gemeinsam nutzen. Das Zimmer unter'm Dach ist über relativ steile Treppen zu erreichen - für ältere Gäste, die vielleicht nicht mehr so fit unterwegs sind, möglicherweise etwas problematisch. Sonst alles bestens. Fahrrad-Entfernungen: 5 Minuten zum Zentrum, 5 Minuten zum Bahnhof. 30 Minuten zum Strand durch den Dünen-Nationalpark.
Marion is very nice, is fun to talk with her, she is a person who knows very well refer guests to visit wonderful places like keukenoff the old Haarlem, Amsterdam etc .... and above all towards transport for travel that we enjoyed. his kindness, his smile, his discussions was like friends for years so it was spontaneous. only good memories of this trip! Thank you
Marion est très agréable, on prend plaisir de parler avec elle, c'est une personne qui sait très bien aiguiller ses hôtes pour visiter de merveilleux endroits comme le keukenoff, le vieux Haarlem, Amsterdam etc.... et surtout diriger vers les transports pour les déplacements ce que nous avons apprécié. sa gentillesse, son sourire, ses discussions on se serait cru amies depuis des années tellement c'était spontané. que des bons souvenirs de ce voyage! Merci
We were really looking forward to our trip and our expectations were completely fulfilled. Being guests in such a lovely home with an interesting and lovely couple living in it has been a wonderful experience and we enjoyed our stay very much.
When we arrived, Marion greeted us, told and showed us everything we needed to know patiently. After our first night we met Rob and the (sleeping) family cat and had tea and a great conversation about everything you could imagine.
Besides of having a wonderful trip to Haarlem, Amsterdam and Zandvoort, we really had a great time staying in Marions and Robs house and if we ever think about coming back, we definitely think of these two. Until then, don't hesitate booking their place, because it was great and we really recommend it.
Thank you again, Marion and Rob. It was a pleasure :)
Rob and Marion are great hosts - very friendly and helpful. Our room was absolutely the pictures. However, it should be mentioned that the stairs are very steep in Holland.
Haarlem is just 20 minutes away from Amsterdam and is still a very cozy and friendly town.
We can absolutely recommend and will definitely come back soon!
Rob und Marion sind super Gastgeber - sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer entsprach absolut den Bildern. Man sollte jedoch erwähnen, dass die Treppen in Holland sehr steil sind.
Haarlem liegt gerade mal 20 Minuten von Amsterdam entfernt und ist trotzdem ein sehr gemütliches und sympathisch Städtchen.
Wir können es absolut weiterempfehlen und werden sicherlich bald wieder kommen!

Q: We recently supplied several split-face blocks for a large commercial project. The work continued for several months, and with about two weeks left, we started receiving complaints about the quality of the units from the mason contractor.
After several meetings, the quality issue narrowed to the architect's concern that he found some chips, dimension irregularities, and surface blemishes in the block that has been placed on the completed wall. The architect has delayed payment to the mason contractor until this issue is resolved.
What are the guidelines regarding the architect's quality concerns?
A: Most block manufacturers submit documentation to their customers, assuring that the material they provide will, at the very least, conform to the ASTMspecifications that outline the basic quality requirements. As a result, most architects specify that blocks must conform to ASTM C-90, the Standard Specification for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Units. In section 8.2 of C-90, the specification calls for the block producer to conform to the testing procedures as outlined in ASTM C-140, Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Concrete Masonry Units and Related Units.
C-140 outlines the testing procedures that occur at the plant during production. Section 5 states the producer must select units from the production lot that are representative in configuration and dimension of the final product.
Unless specified otherwise, six units shall be selected from each lot of 10,000 units, 12 units from each lot of more than 10,000 units and less than 100,000 units, and for lots of more than 100,000 units, six units shall be selected from each 50,000 units or fraction thereof.
Dimensional measurement is one of the four required quality tests on these sample units. The testing procedure and reporting requirements of the results for loadbearing block are outlined in Annex A of C-140. C-140 advises how to perform the dimensional requirements for loadbearing units detailed in C-90. So you should refer the architect to Section 6 of C-90, where the document outlines permissible variations in dimensions, and Table 1, which lists the minimum thickness of face, shells, and webs.
C-90 provides more guidance on your quality question. In article 7, the standard states that all units shall be sound and free of cracks or defects that interfere with the proper unit placement or significantly impair the strength or permanence of the construction. Your note indicates that the architect does not have concerns with this.
The specification states, "minor cracks, incidental to the usual method of manufacture or minor chipping resulting from customary methods of handling and delivery, are not grounds for rejection."
Masonry professionals realize that there are several causes of cracks and surface defects in block construction. C-90 outlines acceptable guidelines. An order lot is acceptable if less than 5% of a shipment has any chips no larger than 1-inch in any direction, or cracks wider than 0.02 inches and no longer than 25% of the unit's nominal height. These guidelines are the minimal requirements. Most block producers provide units at much higher quality.
The architect's concern about measurable quality of the finished wall is an important aspect of masonry construction. Most projects use mock-ups of finished walls as guidelines for visual acceptance. While this technique provides some guidance, finished quality continues to be discussed. The recently reformed Task Group on Finish and Appearance, ASTM C15.03.07, is trying to develop a standard that would outline a performance standard to address these quality issues.
ASTM Updates
Work Item
ASTM WK17659, New Precast Concrete Products Used for Stormwater Management, was developed by ASTM Subcommittee C27.70 last December. Its scope is to delineateand define terminology used in designing, describing, measuring, and validating precast concrete products that are used for stormwater management applications.
As a new subcommittee, C27.70 will develop standards for stormwater management products. A document defining the terminology used in these standards is needed to help establish common communication. The technical contact for this new subcommittee is Theodore Coons.
New Approved Standard
An important ASTM standard affecting concrete producers has been updated: C1227. Standard Specification for Precast Concrete Septic Tanks, has been revised to C1227-07c.
To view the document summary page on this and other standards, visit ASTM's Web site at www.astm.org. You can quickly access the information by entering the standard designation number in the search engine. Or contact ASTM's customer service by telephoning 610-832-9585, or by e-mailing .

The type of brush you use for making brush embroidery is a personal preference. The smaller the brush tip, the finer the detail of brush embroidery you'll be able to make. While I prefer a flat brush, either flat or round brushes can be used.

X-GAMES LOS ANGELES: Women's skateboard street final
X-GAMES LOS ANGELES: SLS Select Series event
X-GAMES LOS ANGELES: Rally racers practice in Fontana
X-GAMES LOS ANGELES: Elliot Sloan wins X-Games Skateboard Big Air final
Teenager Isabel Serna was thrilled to be at Staples Center for the X Games with her sister by her side and a cap turned fashionably askew.
She had motocross racing on her mind Thursday and couldn't wait to check out her favorite riders, Jeremy Stenberg and Josh Hansen.
Her mood turned sad only when talk of the X Games moving to Austin, Texas next year came up in conversation. This is the final year the X Games will shut down L.A. Live, Irwindale and other spots around town.
For 11 years, Los Angeles has been the red carpet to ESPN's X Games. Any relationship lasting more than a decade in this city should be considered a roaring success.
But Serna didn't even know anything about the X Games as a 3-year-old, which is when they took hold in Los Angeles. She took her index finger and moved it from her right eye down her cheek, to signify a fake tear, with the prospect of losing the games.
"I like coming to the event because it's cool to see them in action," Serna said. "We came here because it's the last one in L.A. It's going to Texas, so we won't be able to go anymore."'
Cue the sad face again.
It took Serna, 14, her sister and father two hours to make the drive from their home in Perris. They didn't mind. Older sister Maribel isn't as broken up about losing the X Games.
"It's fun, and cool, but I'm not as obsessed as she is," Maribel Serna said.
Not everyone is aware the games are leaving.
The Johnson family from Redlands was here for the first time checking out all the booths before the festivities of evening motocross.
"We got free tickets,"' said Jeff Johnson. "We didn't realize it was leaving."
Their timing was impeccable to see tricks up close.
For some, a chance to see professional athletes do their thing live is a thrill. But remember, the X Games used to rotate cities often.
Retired skateboarder-turned commentator Tony Hawk did an interview on ESPN 710 radio from L.A. Live while he was waiting for his car to make the drive to Irwindale. Driving through traffic from event to event certainly won't be missed.
The X Games are where board sports and motocross really took off. And Hawk knows there will be life after Los Angeles.
"I just got used to Los Angeles," Hawk said. "But I like new places."
Hawk said he loves the vibe of a different crowd in a new city that has the games for the first time. And Los Angeles certainly didn't sell out Staples Center or other venues for the events.
The event around the event is always entertaining, though, and that will be missed.
Graffiti artist 2shae was doing his thing, spray painting live art for onlookers, at L.A. Live with a baby stroller by his side.
There was a DJ spinning tricks -- and dropping X-rated words in the afternoon -- and men and women dancing in the streets. Between the statues of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, fans were trying skateboarding on a pipe. They skateboarded Joe Citizen style, nearly all of them falling off faster than bullriders get tossed from bucking bulls.
Red Bull had an informational tent in which you could click on an athlete's name and learn all about them.
If you clicked on Ryan Sheckler, you know he's got to be bummed about leaving Los Angeles. He's from San Clemente. And he's certainly a Los Angeles guy being that he's a former reality television star.
Skateboarding might look easy watching the professionals ride, but it's not. At least there's always the Tony Hawk pro skater video games.
Those are more simple to operate. And you can still play those in Los Angeles, long after the X Games are gone.
And fake tears in Los Angeles are still en vogue.

Im 4 generations behind and they just don't stop making new ones facepalm
But as usual you have missed the main point for the more minor detail (because you like to stalk me and look for contrarian positions to take with me; the very definition of Internet trolling ) - the main point being - that throttling definitely still happens with AT&T and that they can't detect hack tethering from normal usage.
But thanks for correcting my error. You're right - I hate misinformation.
If I were to see more of your posts adding positivity and information to these threads, something I do daily, then I'd have a different view of you. But for some reason you've "assigned yourself" to me - kinda line Ahab and his whale in Moby Dîck. Again I say - "interesting".
Focus on adding positive helpful information to the forum, Krima, and I will stop with the irresistible sarcasm with which I have to respond to you.
Again it's nothing personal - but you started this with me shortly after I got here. I did not go after you...
We can start afresh if you wish. I have an 'established personality' as do many here. I won't apologize for it or change it. If it bothers you - just place me on ignore, please.. But cease this silly cat and mouse stalking of every thread I'm in waiting for a moment to pounce.
Thanks in advance.
And I always welcome a correction to wrong info., But you never stop there -you egg on as you did in your closing comment of your correction post. Classic trolling behavior again. I just want it to stop and all will be well.
But you likely won't - you'll just keep trying to get the last word in an endless game as in that last thread where you just kept writing back two word responses to everything I said. More classic troll activity - as is refusing to take something to PM (trolling can only survive in the open forum)....
Please respond in PM to this as we're now off topic (but I know you won't.. :-/)
This is fine as long as you pay the same respect to me. Again, this is an egotistical need.I would love to start fresh but I will not change as u have stated you won't change. If you can't see the similarities into what you have done and what I do then we are at an impasse.
If you want to continue this discussion I hope you PM me so we can start fresh but if you don't then I take it as you are not truly interested in finding common ground.

5 Things Kids Should Tell Their Asthma Doctor
Latest Asthma News
WEDNESDAY, July 10 (HealthDay News) -- Children, not their parents, should do most of the talking about their asthma symptoms when seeing an allergist, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at about 80 children with asthma and their parents. Although parents can provide useful information, it's important for allergists to ask both parents and children about symptoms, activity limitations and use of medications to better understand and treat the child's asthma, the researchers found.
The importance of listening to children with asthma is highlighted by the fact that they report having a better quality of life in terms of activity limitations than their parents believe, according to the study, which was published in the July issue of the journal Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
"Our research shows that physicians should ask parents and children about the effects asthma is having on the child's daily life," said study lead author Margaret Burks, of the pediatrics department of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
"Parents can often think symptoms are better or worse than what the child is really experiencing, especially if they are not with their children all day," Burks said in a news release from the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
Asthma is a serious condition that leads to more than 10.5 million missed school days a year, Dr. James Sublett, chairman of the college's public relations committee, said in the news release. "It is important for children to tell their allergist about their symptoms so the best treatment can be provided and over-treating doesn't occur," he said.
The asthma experts list these five topics that children with asthma and their parents should discuss with their allergist:

The members of Congress who represent Greater Los Angeles and the Inland Empire disagree on how best to achieve immigration reform, but they do share something that may seem strange in the current political climate - the expectation that a highly-polarized Congress will pass significant legislation on what has become one of the most divisive issues in American politics.
To be sure, there are differences between the region's more liberal and conservative members of Congress. One key division is that while some Democratic members say the "path to citizenship" that would allow millions of people who are residing in the country illegally to obtain citizenship is too onerous, the leader of California's delegation said he only favors such a policy if it applies to immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children.
Yet even as this and other disagreements must be resolved through the legislative process, expectations are high that a discordant Congress will manage to send immigration legislation to the White House.
"It's pretty amazing to think this Congress might do something useful," said Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Sherman Oaks, who favors the present immigration proposal. "I don't give us credit for not shutting down the government or avoiding economic catastrophe. "
A Senate committee has already begun debate on an 844-page bill introduced by the "Gang of Eight," a bipartisan group of four Democratic and four Republican senators, which includes the "DREAM Act," a proposal allowing some immigrants who were brought illegally into the United States as children to become citizens.
Southland-based immigrant rights groups, labor unions and civl rights activists are mobilizing their members for upcoming May Day marches on Wednsday with an eye toward shaping the debate in Washington. The groups are pushing for high turnouts for the marches in downtown Los Angelese and in San Bernardino.
The leader of California's delegation to the House, Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, said he supports some provisions of the Senate bill, such as its incorporation of the DREAM Act and mandatory E-Verify, an online system that allows employers to check a job applicants' eligibility to work in the United States. E-Verify is usually voluntary under current law.
Calvert does not, however, support allowing those who have entered the United States illegally as adults to become citizens without first returning to their country of origin.
"I think there is sympathy for young children, who came here through no fault of their own. There should be a path to citizenship," Calvert said.
Calvert also said he would prioritize strengthening enforcement of visa programs. He said members of the GOP-controlled House will draft a number of immigration bills and the differences between whatever the House and Senate passes will be worked out in conference.
Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia congressman who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, has taken the approach of splitting immigration reform into individual bills. Last week , Goodlatte announced a bill to phase-in mandatory E-Verify for U.S. employers and a second creating a new agricultural guest worker program.
Another Republican, Rep. Gary Miller, R-Rancho Cucamonga, also views E-Verify as a must. Although Miller did not go as far as endorsing the DREAM Act, he expressed a willingness to consider new proposals.
"This is a complex and complicated issue that will not be resolved overnight. I believe a thorough debate and review of the Senate legislation and other reform proposals is necessary to achieving our goal of securing the borders and instituting an effective and fair immigration system that supports economic growth," Miller said in an e-mailed statement.
Democratic House members also said they would push to craft a similar bill while the Senate works on its bill, which is supported by California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer. "There is a bipartisan group that has been working on it (a similar bill), but they haven't identified themselves because they don't want anything to be released prematurely," Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, said.
The phrase "comprehensive immigration reform," or the term favored by opponents - amnesty - have gone more or less unheard since 2007, the last time immigration was at the top of the nation's political consciousness.
At the time, President George W. Bush and Republican leaders including eventual presidential nominee John McCain favored immigration proposals that included a means for millions of immigrants who were in the country illegally to obtain citizenship, but their support - not to mention the call from millions of activists who marched in the streets and walked out of schools - was not enough to overcome opposition from conservatives within their own party. The administration's preferred plan died in the Senate.
A repeat of that history would be just fine for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which lobbies for stricter immigration policies. Spokesman Ira Mehlman said the group favors enforcement measures like e-Verify, but is opposed on principal to allowing those in the country illegally to pay a fine and become citizens.
"Yes, there are fines and a hoop or two to jump through, but if the Highway Patrol pulls you over and you're driving 80 miles per hour, you pay a fine, but you're not entitled to continue driving 80 miles per hour," Mehlman said.
Whereas Mehlman said the Senate's proposal only benefits illegal immigrants and employers who want a supply of cheap labor, Democratic supporters of the bill say allowing undocumented immigrants to get papers will benefit the county as a whole by bringing an underground part of the economy, to use a common phrase, "out of the shadows. "
Since the November election, Republicans have been challenged to soften their views on immigration in order to remain relevant to the growing number of Latino and Asian voters who seem to be increasingly favoring the Democratic Party.
Barack Obama won 71 percent of the Latino vote last year, according to the Pew Hispanic Survey. Latinos made up 10 percent of the national electorate, up from 9 percent in 2008 and 8 percent four years prior.
Nonwhite voters accounted for 28 percent of all voters in 2012, up from 26 percent in 2008.
Democratic proponents of immigration reform are counting on Republicans' growing need to appeal to Latino and Asian-American voters as a source of bipartisan support for new immigration reforms.
"I think that there's a good chance that we could pass immigration reform and that's not something I would have said a year ago," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, said. "I really do think the election was kind of a tectonic shift for the GOP."
Luis Alvarado, chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Greater Los Angeles and a GOP political consultant, said he supports the Senate bill and the view that Republicans should move toward a more open immigration policy for political and policy reasons.
"Sometimes this political football is used to distract from other important political issues such as pension reform and health care," Alvarado said.
Loyola Marymount University political scientist Fernando Guerra said he expects an immigration bill to pass, although it will disappoint people on both sides of the issue. Those who favor strict immigration laws will consider anything that allows undocumented immigrants to become citizens to be an amnesty, whereas others will view the lengthy path to citizenship as too burdensome.
Guerra, director of LMU's Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles, leans toward the latter view, saying "it looks like we're trying to make it tough for political reasons. "

Matthew Tuininga asks, What if our Grandmothers were actually right?:
There is a story that plays itself out over and over in American culture. Progressive activists proclaim that a particular element of traditional wisdom about the family and parenting is the residue of old-fashioned religious convictions, with little relation to reality or to human flourishing. Invariably, social scientists lend their voices and expertise to the cause, insisting that there is no scientific evidence for the legitimacy of the older norms; surely, it is assumed, research will show that liberty and tolerance is the appropriate way forward. Eventually the activists and the academics find the support of the media and other cultural elites, who call for an end to the stigmatization of those who violate the old norms and mores.
As the decades pass however, a host of new problems arise, problems that society has never had to face. The abandonment of older assumptions about the family, it turns out, has a tremendous social cost after all. Research in the social sciences begins to suggest that even if the older ideals were rooted in religion and tradition, they make a whole lot of sense scientifically as well. We're not sure why, but it turns out that our grandmothers really did have some wisdom.
Doug Wilson offers some clear-headed advice for social conservatives frustrated by the tactics of the opposition and their allies in the Media Industrial Complex.
In the wake of the Texas abortion bill and the nausiating attempts at a "Stand with Wendy" campaign, Democrats for Life are asking us to Stand with Kirsten Powers instead.
The perception among non-Calvinists is often that Reformed folk are arrogant, argumentative, and downright rude. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary California points out that every individual is unique; there are rude Arminians and grumpy Baptists, just as there are kindly Calvinists. Still, he admits, the perception is not without foundation, and so he attempts to offer some reasons why (some) Reformed people are such jerks.
Some, when they first discover "the doctrines of grace" (code for unconditional predestination and justification by grace alone, through faith alone) can actually become angry that they've been denied these truths for so long. It's as if one grew up in England (pay attention Carl) and suddenly discovers that food can be pleasant, that just a few miles to the southeast there is a people of strange tongues and marvelous food beyond one's wildest dreams! Gaining this knowledge can produce genuine frustration. Having tasted French food, our Englishman is beside himself. It's all he can talk about. It's all he wants to read about. It's all he cooks. The first time his Mum brings out the usual Thursday night dinner, he rages at her, but she doesn't know any better. She's never been to France and wouldn't know pain au chocolate if it hit her on the head.
Speaking of raucous Reformed folk, many young evangelicals are breaking from their fundamentalist roots and embracing "Christian liberty" when it comes to alcoholic beverages. I for one enjoy craft beer immensely, even dabbling in a bit of home brewing. But is this liberty, fueled as it so often is by a reaction to legalism, becoming its own kind of legalism? Brett McCracken at Mere Orthodoxy probes: Are you free to NOT drink?
The New Theist himself (William Lane Craig) debates Sam Harris on the possibility of objective morality without God:
Jon Negroni has discovered a grand secret hidden in plain sight, what he calls "The Pixar Theory": Every single Pixar film is directly connected to all the others, creating the biggest and most complex narrative in film history. (Well…maybe).
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Last year, in the final moments of series 2 of BBC's Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch's titular character plummeted off a rooftop to his death…only he somehow survived. Fans have been baffled, to say the least. Finally, Cumberbatch himself has decided to break the silence and explain how Sherlock survived. Using stuffed animals.

Memo To Media: Research First, Then Report On Climate Emails
Another batch [1] of emails purportedly from the Climatic Research Center at the University of East Anglia has been released by unknown parties, no doubt with the intention of attracting media attention and discrediting climate scientists before the upcoming U.N. climate conference [2] in South Africa.
The previous release of hacked emails triggered a storm of ill-informed media coverage in December 2009, with news outlets rushing to quote the documents without taking the time to research the context or ask experts to translate the scientific language. (As we know, terms used in scientific discussions often have a different meaning [3] than when used in normal public conversation.)
As a result, numerous mainstream news outlets repeated [4] allegations that the emails showed scientists doctoring data to exaggerate global warming. That claim has become part of the version of history told by conservative media even after multiple investigations [5] found it to be false. But the damage had been done. A study [6] conducted by researchers at Yale and George Mason University found that "Climategate deepened and perhaps solidified the prior observed declines in public beliefs that global warming is happening, human caused, and of serious concern." This contrasts with the views of the vast majority [7] of climate scientists.
Last month an independent study set up by physicist Richard Muller -- and funded by the Koch family -- investigated criticisms of the prevailing global land temperature records, including the record produced by the University of East Anglia. Announcing the results, Muller stated [8]:
When we began our study, we felt that skeptics had raised legitimate issues, and we didn't know what we'd find. Our results turned out to be close to those published by prior groups. We think that means that those groups had truly been very careful in their work, despite their inability to convince some skeptics of that. They managed to avoid bias in their data selection, homogenization and other corrections.
There are individuals, corporations and interest groups who seek to distract from the mounting body of evidence indicating that humans are changing the climate. In fact, an action plan [9] created by the American Petroleum Industry outlined a strategy to manipulate media outlets in order to create confusion among the public about climate science.
The question is: will mainstream media outlets allow themselves to be made part of a campaign to distract the public from the big picture on climate change? Or will they fulfill their responsibilities as journalists? Looks like we'll find out if they've learned their lesson to research first, then report.
UPDATE: The Guardian reports [10] that the emails are all dated before the past couple of years: "The lack of any emails post-dating the 2009 release suggests that they were obtained at the same time, but held back."
UPDATE2: [11]Print news outlets are already quoting the emails out of context [11].

The clear take-away from the session, Innovating Community Design and Mass Market Housing, is that architects have at their disposal many ways to broaden their contribution to mainstream housing.
Donald Powers, AIA, LEED AP, principal of Union Studio, talked about refocusing his already extensive work with merchant builders to address the trends in the housing market. "2007 was an opportunity to reset," he says. "We started looking at small footprint houses for opportunity." The architect said that recent projects that fit into this new focus include a 15-unit infill development of cottages measuring 900 square feet. Powers said architects must do sophisticated outreach with all stakeholders—civic, neighborhood, etc.—to deliver creative housing in a market-rate reality. "If you understand the market and the price point" projects have a stronger chance of success, he added.
While Powers refocused his efforts on more mass-market housing, Adele Chang, AIA, of Lim Chang Rohling & Associates, spoke of her firm's breadth of work before and after the recession. "Land prices are the number one barrier to homes for the 99 percent," Chang said. And there are other obstacles too, such as bad zoning ordinances, design guidelines, civil and traffic engineering driving land planning, too much influence from real estate agents, fear of experimentation, and lack of selection in affordable off-the-shelf products. But there are solutions. Chang said her firm has been pursuing more attached housing and utilizing more small-lot ordinances that allow 30 units to the acre. "It's a creative way to address housing issues," she said.
John Brown, of housebrand in Calgary, takes a different approach to reach middle-market consumers. The architect talked of the unique firm that he, Carina van Olm, and Matthew North set up. "We do architecture for the 78 percent," Brown said. "We wanted to work directly with individuals." The firm encompasses everything. Working mainly with middle-class consumers, the firm has licensed real estate agents—including Brown and North—that help buyers find and buy a home, does design work that fits into their budget, offers contracting work, and runs a retail arm that supplies furnishing. Brown believes education is the key to creating a client-base that appreciates design, so housebrand launched initiatives to do just that. "We created an advocacy movement to help people make better decisions, and we started a real estate business to help them as well," Brown said. The architect concludes, "We look to address the middle of the market in a sensible way. It's not about designing in the typical way. Rather, it's about finding new and innovative ways to bring design to the market."
If Brown works for the 78 percent, Brian Phillips, AIA, of Interface Studio Architects, works for an even broader range. As the architect said in his presentation, "We don't know what the 1 percent is." Phillips described the various types of projects the firm works on, including affordable housing and an effort with a local Philadelphia builder to develop a house that costs $100,000. "Everyday projects need to be better," he said. "We explore off-the-shelf materials to bring innovation to everyday housing."
When it comes to doing affordable housing, Michael Pyatok, FAIA, is on the leading edge. "We design for all types of people with special needs," the principal of Pyatok Associates said. These include low income seniors and those recovering from substance abuse—in essence, Pyatok said, "populations who neighbors don't like to have around." The key to getting such projects approved, Pyatok said, is organizing. "It's important to involve all in the neighborhood to help design projects," he said. "Projects can't be sprung on homeowners nearby."
"Architecture has so much unrealized potential," Bryan Bell, of Design Corps, said at the beginning of his presentation. Many architects don't realize what they can do to affect change in society. Conversely, people don't realize what architects can do for them either. "Every issue is a design issue—drinking water, disease, disaster relief, etc.," Bell said. "We need to prove to the public that everything is a design issue." In trying to get projects approved or funded from public money, Bell recommends, it helps to layer issues and partners together—unemployment, health, crime, historic preservation, affordability, environmental issues. "When you multiply funding sources, you multiply funding sources."
Finally, David Dixon, FAIA, of Goody Clancy, said architects need to start following the trends that shape what the profession does. Architects need to be engaged in those trends that will be shaping the community in the future, such as walkable neighborhoods and transit-oriented development. "People who live in the suburbs are less healthy than those who live in the urban core," Dixon said. "The cost of auto dependency is becoming unsustainable. We must help people understand the merits of transit-based developments."

Cantilever Bank Failure
This clip shows a closeup of bank failure in an incising channel. Here the media in the Emriver has been compacted so that it is more cohesive. This cohesion allows for significant undercutting before classic cantilever failure occurs. Note how the failed material is gradually removed by flow, and how series of point bars/terraces form opposite the failing banks as the channel incises.

Ok. So now i have managed to get injection working via aireplay, and airodump working, but they both seem to get interrupted and then fail to work at all when restarted.
Despite my attempts to kill dhclient it seems that it can be reinvoked at any point when the system decides that the card needs reconfiguring. It seems this is what is happening in my case and why my card stops picking up traffic 'monitor' style after a short time.
So i go through all the commands as i posted above to put my card into monitor mode, kill the dhclient processes and start aireaplay or airodump. Everything works normally for a short time (with airodump, always 2 minutes) and then i either loose the AP and BSSID info in airodump or i get errors in aireplay (errors as though the card is not in monitor mode). At this point, when i re-run airmon-ng check i can see that the dhclient process is again running on my wireless card interface and usually the card has been put back into managed mode.
I have gained most of this info from reading the man pages for dhclient but I'm a bit of a n00b and so I'm not too confident with editing the conf files myself.
I guess I'll give it a go but any advice from anyone more experienced and knowledgeable would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. Andrew Muzyk
Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice
Internal Medicine/Psychiatry
Pharm.D., Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy
R.Ph., N.C.,
Location: Duke University Medical Center
Andrew Muzyk, PharmD, associate professor of pharmacy practice at Campbell University, received the 2012 Association for Academic Psychiatry Psychiatric Education Award for his part in creating an interactive course for the Duke University psychiatry residency program.
Muzyk shares the award with Crystal White, MD, fourth-year psychiatry resident at Duke University. Their course focuses on the scientific study of drug actions and their effects on behavior.
The award, established in 1988, is presented annually to an outstanding psychiatric educator or educational program, in recognition of innovative and exemplary psychiatric education with significant impact.
"We are excited to win this award," said Muzyk. "It's great to have national recognition for our unique educational program. We would like to thank all the faculty and residents who participated in making this course successful."
Muzyk and White were recognized for their one-year course because of its novel integration of active-learning exercises, discussion forums and peer-teaching methods, where residents had the opportunity to provide lectures. Course evaluations showed the mix of learning styles helped residents thoroughly understand the topics and these activities will be incorporated into future curriculum.
"Psychopharmacology is a rapidly changing field," said Muzyk, who serves as course master of the new class. "A strong familiarity of pharmacology and study of psychotropic medications is absolutely essential for the competent practice of psychiatry."

Homeland Security agents appeared to be monitoring Tea Party protests
(Jason Howerton) There were multiple reported sightings of agents with the Department of Homeland Security at several Tea Party-led IRS protests in states like Missouri, Florida, Illinois and Indiana. The rallies that occurred across the country on Tuesday were sparked by the IRS' unfair targeting of conservative groups — one of the several scandals the Obama administration is dealing with.
What is unclear though is why federal officials felt the Tea Party presence required more than the attention of local law enforcement.
In Maitland, Fla., just north of Orlando, a Tea Party-led IRS protest also reportedly attracted the Department of Homeland Security. Photos apparently snapped at that particular protest show at least one DHS vehicle at the site of the rally.
In one of the photos, a women poses in front of the DHS SUV with a sign that reads: "Hey IRS! Don't target me, bro!"
A woman in Fort Wayne, Ind., found herself all alone at the scheduled rally outside the IRS office on Tuesday. However, she was reportedly accompanied by three visible security guards in the IRS parking lot, which included a Homeland Security officer.
