Jones School Leadership
Winning company, based on Rice University technology, headed by Rice engineering and business grad students. HOUSTON – (March 3, 2010) – The Rice University business plan team, Rebellion Photonics, won first place in the mai Bangkok Business Challenge, hosted by the Sasin Business School at Chulalongkorn University, Feb. 25-27. The team also won "Best Presentation" in their competitive group. Sixteen teams from around the world were invited to present at the competition and the top six presented in the final round. Rice was the only school from the United States that was selected to present at the competition; the other semi-finalist teams came from Europe, Australia, and Asia. "Coupled with a top five ranking in graduate entrepreneurship in the U.S., this business plan competition win reflects both our ability to excel on a global scale, and our collaborative culture across the Rice University campus," said Bill Glick, dean of the Jones Graduate School of Business. "Winning 'Best Presentation' is a textbook example of the school's solid commitment to teaching communication and presentation skills." Rebellion Photonics is commercializing a revolution in hyperspectral imaging that allows for real-time large format portable chemical detection for use in a variety of industries, such as security, oil exploration, quality control and research. "This is huge for us," said Robert Kester, chief operating officer of Rebellion Photonics. "I think this experience validated our technology as well as our business plan moving forward. We are really excited about the opportunities this opens up for us." The business plan is based on a Rice University technology developed out of Dr. Tomasz Tkaczyk's lab. Robert Kester, a bioengineering Ph.D. student at the Brown School of Engineering working with Tkaczyk is the company COO, and Jones Graduate School of Business MBA student Allison Lami will serve as CEO. Lami brought on three additional MBA students: Tadzia GrandPré, Frances Parker and Anne Robin to compete in the competition. "This is a great example of what students from the School of Engineering and the Jones School can accomplish when they work together and call on the expertise of the Rice Alliance," said Sallie Keller, dean of the Brown School of Engineering. "We are working toward more of these collaborations in the future and I'm sure they will result, not only in competition success for our students, but in innovations that fuel new, successful businesses." "I believe this is the first time a Rice University team has won first place in a major business plan competition," said Brad Burke, managing director of the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship, organizers and hosts of the Rice Business Plan Competition. "Rebellion Photonics will represent Rice at the Rice Business Plan Competition in April. Prior to that, they have been selected to compete in the WBT University Technology Commercialization Competition as well as the Venture Challenge at San Diego State University. Both of these competitions will help them prepare for the Rice Business Plan Competition, which is the world's richest and largest competition with more than $800,000 in cash and prizes." Rebellion Photonics won $10,000 in cash at the Thailand competition to further their business. Lami and Kester are currently finalizing the agreement with Rice University Office of Technology Transfer to license the technology. They hope to develop it to be used in a variety of applications. The team was mentored over the past year by Tom Kraft, formerly Director of Client Services at the Houston Technology Center (HTC). The team leader, Allison Lami, has been serving as an HTC intern and their company, Rebellion Photonics, is now a candidate company of the HTC. Dennis Murphree, instructor of the Jones Graduate School creative entrepreneurship class and one of the founders of the Rice Business Plan Competition, also helped coach the team along with his class co-instructor Brain Hoogendam. The team was supported by the Jones Partners, corporate supporters of the Jones School, with aid for travel expenses to the Thailand competition.

With her husband behind bars, Detroit's former first lady, Carlita Kilpatrick, has fallen on hard times in Texas, losing her job and her lease on the family's extravagant 5,000-square-foot home in suburban Dallas.
According to neighbors, some of the Kilpatricks' furniture and numerous household belongings were out on the curb on trash pickup day last Monday, three days before the family officially moved out of the five-bedroom home they rented for $2,600 a month in Grand Prairie. According to Dallas real estate agent Will Butler, Carlita Kilpatrick was not evicted, but the owner of the house chose not to renew her lease. Butler did not elaborate, stating only that the house is now on the market to be leased again, this time for $2,799 a month.
It is not known where the Kilpatricks moved, but sources familiar with Carlita Kilpatrick's plight said that the family's church, the Potter's House in Dallas, is helping them out. Officials with Potter's House did not return calls or emails for comment.

Neighbors, meanwhile, said the Kilpatricks left a lot behind on the curb.
"There was a lot of furniture. It was a lot of stuff there … the kind of stuff that you keep," said one neighbor, Malinda Carter, who noted she "rarely" saw the Kilpatricks and had no idea why they left or where they went.
July has been a tough month for Carlita Kilpatrick. One week before she moved out of her house, she lost her $41,200 job working for the City of Duncanville, Texas, because, city officials said, she didn't meet the job's requirements.
Carlita Kilpatrick, who is now raising three sons on her own following her husband's public corruption conviction, was hired in January as a specialist at the Duncanville Fieldhouse, an athletic facility with basketball courts, a fitness center and meeting rooms. Her duties included organizing and scheduling sporting events, such as basketball and volleyball tournaments, and overseeing the facility's daily operations.
According to Duncanville's public information officer Claudia Garibay, Carlita Kilpatrick was on a 180-day probation period and did not meet the requirements of the job. She did not elaborate, beyond confirming that Kilpatrick's job officially ended July 10.

Carlita Kilpatrick got the job while her husband, Kwame Kilpatrick, was on trial in Detroit federal court, where a jury in March convicted him and his longtime friend, Bobby Ferguson, on 34 counts combined. Both men face up to 20 years, maybe more, in prison for a host of crimes, including bribery and extortion.
Carlita Kilpatrick, who has never been charged with any crimes, could not be reached for comment. Her mother-in-law, the former U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick, could not be reached for comment.
Mike Paul, a former spokesman for the Kilpatrick family, said he believes Carlita Kilpatrick and her children deserve privacy and peace, and urged the public and faith-community to pray for their well-being.
"Let them move on," Paul said in a phone interview from his New York office. "For anyone who has a heart: Look, Kwame is in prison. Let this family have some peace."
Paul also stressed that Carlita Kilpatrick has a right to move on with her life, get a job and support her children.
"Quite frankly, I feel for them," Paul said.
Duncanville City Manager Greg Contreras, who made the decision to terminate Kilpatrick, is on vacation and could not be reached for comment.
During Kilpatrick's tenure as mayor, Carlita Kilpatrick made headlines over the infamous Lincoln Navigator scandal, in which text messages revealed that taxpayers paid for two luxury SUVs for the former first lady, who was persistent in getting them.
In one 2002 text, she wrote: "Have you heard anything about my navi?" More than six hours later, she wrote again: "ANY WORD ON MY NAVIGATOR?" Three months later, she texted her husband: "Can I get my truck before the 2004s are out?"
Carlita Kilpatrick's name also surfaced during the recent public corruption trial, when a government witness testified that she received tens of thousands of dollars in grant money for a project she performed little to no work for, irking state officials who thought the money was going to poor people.
Carlita Kilpatrick, however, did not attend any of the trial, except for closing arguments. She was back in Texas, raising her sons in the 5,016-square-foot home that the family moved into nearly two years ago. It was bigger than the Manoogian mansion, and an upgrade from the Texas home in which the Kilpatricks had previously lived. The move to the larger home drew the ire of parole officials, who raised Kilpatrick's restitution last year from $125 a month to $500 a month after concluding he could afford to pay more.
Related Link: Sound Off: Do You Think Kwame Kilpatrick Should Go Straight To Jail?
Kilpatrick, for example, had been paying more than $314 a month for cable — more than double his restitution payment — and $800 a month for a car.
Kilpatrick still owes more than $800,000 in restitution to the City of Detroit for lying about an affair and ruining the careers of three police officers in a whistle-blower trial that cost the City of Detroit $8.4 million. The lies were revealed in text messages, published by the Free Press, eventually leading to criminal charges and his downfall. At $500 a month, it will take him more than 140 years to pay it off.

Youth Services
Reading to young children only twenty minutes a day will help develop language skills, improve listening and comprehension, and ready your children to read by themselves.

The children's department is located on the upper level of the library. Our youngest patrons can find board books, picture books and easy readers in the De Angeli Room. Please note that an adult must accompany children age seven and under at all times.

Young adult fiction is located on the Frazer Avenue wall between the adult periodicals and the children's section.
Please note that parents/guardians are responsible for monitoring book selection and Internet information accessed by their children, not the library staff.
Three, four, and five year olds are invited to join our storytime
group. Gathering on Thursday mornings at 10am in the Peter P. Childs Meeting Room, this program consists of stories, finger plays, and songs. There is also a snack and play period. A theme related craft is given to each child to take home. Parents of children new to storytime need to call Dot Garabedian or Carol Ehret at 856-858-0649 to register and for specific dates.

Jefferson City, Tenn. - Tarron Robinson went deep twice and Champ Stuart added five hits and five RBIs as the Tornados bats came alive in toppling host Carson-Newman in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at the Silver Diamond Baseball Club in winning 16-8.
Brennan Daniels (2-0) picked up his second victory of the season pitching 5.1 innings in relief for Brevard (9-9, 5-4 SAC), while Carson-Newman (8-12, 5-4 SAC) went through nine pitchers on the mound in suffering the loss.
Offensive fireworks were on display early for both teams as they combined for seven runs in the first frame and both teams left the bases loaded in the inning. Robinson drilled a three-run home run down the left field line and over the fence for the Tornados, while a pair of RBI doubles, an RBI single and a run scored on a wild pitch gave the Eagles the 4-3 lead after the first inning.
The Tornados evened the score in the top of the second as Stuart brought in Robinson with a two-out single, before Brevard broke the game open, scoring eight runs in the middle three frames to take a commanding lead in the contest.
Stuart and Randy O'Dell brought in the runs in the fourth inning, with Stuart hitting a home run over the left field fence, scoring Cody Queen and Zach Merriken, while O'Dell hit a solo shot in the frame to put Brevard up 8-4. Merriken and Kramer Clark added RBIs in the fifth and Queen and Robinson came across the plate in the sixth, giving Brevard a 12-4 lead.
Carson-Newman chipped away, plating three runs in the bottom half of the sixth inning as Kyle Koeneman drove a three-run home run over the left field fence, scoring Zach Long and Mason Guyman, chasing Daniels from the contest. However, Hixson limited the damage by retiring the side to keep the Eagles at bay.
A two-run single by Queen and another Robinson home run, this time to straightaway centerfield scoring Queen, put Brevard back up by nine after the seventh inning. The Eagles put up a final crooked frame in the bottom of the eighth as Lance Reed brought in Long with a base hit through the right side, but Hixson retired Carson-Newman in order in the ninth to end the game for Brevard.
Brevard returns home to Gil Coan Field on Wednesday, March 7th as the Tornados welcome Briarcliffe College to Brevard for a doubleheader. First pitch between the Tornados and the Seahawks is set for 1 p.m.

Aging changes in the female reproductive system result mainly changing hormone levels. One clear sign of aging occurs when your menstrual periods stop permanently. This is known as menopause.
The time before menopause is perimenopause. It may begin several years before the last menstrual period. Signs of perimenopause include first more frequent and then occasional missed periods, periods that last longer or shorter,and changes in the amount of menstrual flow. Eventually the periods will become much less frequent, until they stop completely.
Along with changes in your periods, physical changes in your reproductive tract occur as well.
Aging Changes and Their Effects
Menopause is a normal part of a woman's aging process. Most women experience menopause around age 50, though it can occur before then. The usual age range is 45-55.
With menopause:
As hormone levels fall, other changes occur in the reproductive system, including:
Other common changes include:
Managing Changes
Hormone therapy in the form of estrogen or progesterone alone or in combination may help menopause symptoms such as hot flashes or vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse. Hormone therapy has risks, so it is not for every woman. Discuss the risks and benefits of hormone therapy with your health care provider.
To help manage problems such as painful sexual intercourse, using a lubricant during sexual intercourse may help. Vaginal moisturizers are available without a prescription. These can help with vulvar discomfort due to the drying and thinning of the tissues. Topical estrogen applied inside the vagina may help maintain the structure of the vaginal tissues by thickening the tissues and increasing moisture, and sensitivity. Your health care provider can tell you if any of these measures is right for you.
Getting regular exercise, eating healthy foods, and staying involved in activities and with friends and loved ones can help the aging process go more smoothly.

facial rash
my bub has this little tiny rash/pigments on her face. it's on her forehead. i wonder where it came from, what's the cause? my mother in-law said it was caused by breastfeeding my bub. she suggested i stop.
i don't think so.
is it true?
3rd November 2013 07:13 AM #2
Dear Nadiine,
Your mother-in-law is wrong. It is certainly not caused by breastfeeding your baby and you shouldn't stop. The benefits of breastmilk are huge and wonderful. This is why the World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life (i.e. giving your baby only breastmilk and no other food or liquids) and then continuing to breastfeed to 2 years and beyond. Recently, breastmilk has been found to contain stem cells. Frankly, formula doesn't even get close to the nutritional and developmental advantages of breastmilk.
Lots of babies have blotchy skin or tiny spots. It can be caused by hormone changes or the oil glands clogging up. Wash your babies face with only warm water and no other additives.
If your daughter seems troubled by the spots or they are ever accompanied by a fever then you should get her checked with your doctor.
Warm wishes,

Thank you for the advice. I haven't stopped breastfeeding, and the rashes were now lessened. I thinj it's due to hormonal changes. Thanks.

For most papers you write, I recommend that you search individual databases. Choose a database based on the subject area of your paper. You can choose databases by subject from the libray's home page. On the left side of the page, choose "Find Articles by Subject" and once you've done that, choose the subject area corresponding to your research needs. Then choose a database from the list.
You also have the option of using the "OneSearch" tool on the library's homepage. This searches all the library's databases, and the online catalog (for books, DVDs, etc) at once. This is a neat tool, but often you get too many results, over a wide variety of disciplines, which can be overwhelming.
If you choose to use this the OneSearch tool, be sure to watch this brief tutorial first, so you understand how to use it correctly:

What do phishing, instant messaging malware, DDoS attacks and 419 scams have in common? According to Cisco Systems, they're all has-been cybercrimes that were supplanted by slicker, more menacing forms of cybercrime over the past year.
In its 2009 Annual Security Report, due to be released Tuesday, Cisco says that the smart cyber-criminals are moving on. "Social media and the data-theft Trojans are the things that are really in their ascent," said Patrick Peterson, a Cisco researcher. "You can see them replacing a lot of the old-school things."

Lessons in using the internet safely are set to become a compulsory part of the curriculum for primary school children in England from 2011.
The lessons are one element of a new government strategy being unveiled called "Click Clever, Click Safe". Children will also be encouraged to follow an online "Green Cross Code" and block and report inappropriate content. The measures have been drawn up by the UK Council on Child Internet Safety, a new body comprising 140 organisations. The campaign intends to encourage children to not give out personal information on the web, block unwanted messages on social networks and report any inappropriate behaviour to the appropriate bodies, which may include the website, teachers or even police.

The Taiwan government says it will spend 2 billion New Taiwan dollars ($65 million) to support its electronic-book industry and help makers cash in on the rapidly growing world market.
Companies can receive government subsidies of up to 40 percent of costs for programs developing related technologies, according to an Industrial Development Bureau report released Thursday. Taiwan is already a leading player in the digital book market, being the exclusive supplier of e-paper displays for Amazon's Kindle and Sony's e-Reader through collaboration with foreign firms that hold cutting-edge electronic ink technologies, officials said.

The U.S. government and private businesses need to overhaul the way they look at cybersecurity, with the government offering businesses new incentives to fix security problems, the Internet Security Alliance said.
The alliance, in a report released Thursday, also called for permanent international cybersecurity collaboration centers, new security standards for VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) communications and programs to educate corporate leaders about the benefits of enhanced cybersecurity efforts. Lots of groups have called for better information security education for students, but education for enterprise leaders is often overlooked, said Joe Buonomo, president and CEO of Direct Computer Resources, a data security products vendor.
The 13-year-old Florida girl sent a topless photo of herself to a boy in hope of gaining his attention. Instead, she got the attention of her school, as well as the high school nearby. The incessant bullying by classmates that followed when the photo spread put an emotional weight upon Hope that she ultimately could not bear.
Her death is only the second known case of a suicide linked to bullying after sexting the practice of transmitting sexual messages or images electronically. In March, 18-year-old Jesse Logan killed herself in the face of a barrage of taunts when an ex-boyfriend forwarded explicit photos of her following their split.

If your iPhone has been jailbroken, change your passwords now, advised Paul Ducklin, Sophos Australia's chief of technology. Ducklin said the writers of this virus included a program call "Duh", which added malicious capabilities not present in last month's ikee release.
The new password installed by this virus was "ohshit", which can be used to remove the threat of further remote attacks on an infected device. Ducklin said to clean up the device by searching the file "directory/private/var/mobile/home", type in "passwd" to initiate the command, and change the password. "Otherwise the buggers can get back in anytime they want," said Ducklin.

A computer worm that China warned Internet users against is an updated version of the Panda Burning Incense virus, which infected millions of PCs in the country three years ago, according to McAfee.
The original Panda worm, also known as Fujacks, caused widespread damage at a time when public knowledge about online security was low, and led to the country's first arrests for virus-writing in 2007. The new worm variant, one of many that have appeared since late 2006, adds a malicious component meant to make infection harder to detect.

Diners who frequent a popular Downtown restaurant should review their charge-card statements because hackers broke into its computer system to loot debit- and credit-card numbers, police said today.
Between 30 and 50 people have reported fraudulent charges on their accounts, and Columbus detectives said that anyone who used a charge card at Tip Top Kitchen and Cocktails in July or August is at risk. The hackers have been traced to an overseas Internet address, and no Tip Top employees are involved, police said. The hackers found a weak point in the restaurant's computer defenses, wormed their way in, and installed "malware" that stripped the numbers.

The European Unions first dedicated NGO Alliance for Child Safety Online (eNACSO) launched its Digital Manifesto on 14 November 2009 during the Internet Governance Forum(IGF) in Egypt. The global nature of the internet places a particular responsibility on international institutions and governments to take action at national and international level to ensure children are safe online says Dieter Carstensen, eNACSO Chair.
The Digital Manifesto will form part of eNACSOs Agenda for Action document which will be launched in Brussels in May 2010.

While the Senate bogs down in negotiations over drafting major cybersecurity reform legislation, a House panel Wednesday passed a nuts-and-bolts IT security bill that would require the president to assess the government's cybersecurity workforce, including an agency-by-agency skills assessment, and provide scholarship to students who agree to work as cybersecurity specialists for the government after graduation.
"There are some very technically, sophisticated ways in enhancing cybersecurity, but there are some simple ways, also. Some aspects of computer security are rocket science and others are fairly, simple precautionary steps which most people can take."

In todays technologically advanced world, documents and correspondences that were once sent by post are now exchanged electronically. This exchange takes place smoothly until a signature is required in the transaction. Then the entire process falls back to the real e-less world of paper documents, faxes, snail-mail and even physical presence.
Technology, however, has not ceased to search for solutions to this barrier. The result: a method that is accurate and arguably more secure than the traditional handwritten signature, which allows documents to be signed online e-signatures.

That television set you discourage your children from watching may not be the greatest threat to their wellbeing. Instead, the mobile phone is the gateway in introducing children to the world of cyberspace, posing a great risk to their safety, a lobby group said Tuesday.
According to The Cradle, the unmonitored use of technology is increasingly exposing youngsters to the risk of harm and violence. "Only 24 per cent of children in the study reported to their parents or an authority of online or cell phone harassment, Cradle programme manager Brian Weke told journalists. The study also revealed that 77 out of the 96, who had the incidences reported to them, took no action and ignored the seriousness of the matter.

Four men, including the self-proclaimed "Godfather of Spam," were sentenced to prison on Monday for their roles in an email stock fraud scheme, the Justice Department said. FBI special agent said Ralsky, the self-proclaimed "Godfather of Spam," flooded email boxes with unwanted spam email and attempted to use a botnet to hijack computers to assist them in the scheme. A botnet is a network of computers infected by malicious software.
"Today's sentencing sends a powerful message to spammers whose goal is to manipulate financial transactions and the stock market through illegal email advertisements," said assistant attorney general Lanny Breuer.
A Canadian woman on long-term sick leave for depression says she lost her benefits because her insurance agent found photos of her on Facebook in which she appeared to be having fun.
Nathalie Blanchard has been on leave from her job at IBM in Bromont, Quebec, for the last year. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Saturday she was diagnosed with major depression and was receiving monthly sick-leave benefits from insurance giant Manulife. But the payments dried up this fall and when Blanchard called Manulife, she says she was told she was available to work because of Facebook.
A series of skimming crimes that hit the Nashville, TN area recently is but one of many ATM fraud schemes preying upon financial institutions and their customers.
Nashville police reported last week that they were investigating an ATM card skimming scheme where at least 600 individuals were potential victims. Investigators say five Bank of America ATMs were hit, as well as an unknown number of US Bank machines. A total of 60 people had fraudulent withdrawals from their accounts for anywhere between $100 to $5,000 dollars. Investigators suspect that the skimming schemers have now moved on to other cities. "No one vendor or ATM type is more susceptible over another," Ipson says, "so everyone needs to be aware of this threat."

A self-proclaimed geek from the age of 14, Andre DiMino had always been interested in computers and networking. But it wasn't until he entered his professional life many years later that he became interested in the security side of that world.
Just five years ago, hunting botnets, said DiMino, was a much different game. The botnets were fairly straightforward, he said, and the primary method of communication was the IRC (Internet Relay Chat). DiMino and other volunteers were able to act like criminals by joining a botnet, watching its traffic to get an understanding of how it was architected and learn more its particular function. They found their efforts were worthwhile as they began contacting network hosts, alerting them that were supporting the botnets and seeing them shutdown.
The world's biggest social networking site has brushed off criticism by a senior UK police officer responsible for preventing online bullying that it is failing to combat abuse.
Jim Gamble, head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) Center, said Facebook and MySpace, which between them have more than 500 million users, could work harder to stamp out bullying. The initiative came as UK charity Beatbullying highlighted Bebo, owned by AOL, and Microsoft's instant messaging service as hotspots for bullying. In a poll of 2,094 young people across England conducted by the charity, 30 percent of 11 to 16-year-olds who had been "cyberbullied" had been targeted on Bebo.

Cyber war has moved from fiction to fact, says a report. Compiled by security firm McAfee, it bases its conclusion on analysis of recent net-based attacks. Analysis of the motives of the actors behind many attacks carried out via the internet showed that many were mounted with a explicitly political aim.
It said that many nations were now arming to defend themselves in a cyber war and readying forces to conduct their own attacks. "There are at least five countries known to be arming themselves for this kind of conflict," said Greg Day, primary analyst for security at McAfee Europe. The UK, Germany, France, China and North Korea are known to be developing their own capabilities.
The first applications were accepted on Monday for internationalised domain names (IDNs), in one of the most significant steps to making the Internet more accessible around the globe.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has opened the application process, ending the exclusive use of Latin characters for website addresses. On the first day, "we have already received six applications from around the world for three different scripts," ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom told an Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

On its own, atheism would not have been that strong, but comparing the way that the bigots talk about Islam and the Qur'an with what Darwinists say, people will say they prefer what the Darwinists speak of. In other words, the fanatics come up with such a hellish environment and use such contemptible language that given the choice between religious fanaticism or communism people will prefer the latter. It is so dreadful that atheists, communists and satanists are able to take advantage of the road opened up by the bigots. Rationally speaking, Muslims must make no concessions to bigotry.
Our Prophet (pbuh) was very well groomed. He rubbed kohl on his blessed eyes and the wives of the Companions rubbed it on theirs. Being well-groomed and clean is obligatory for a Muslim. There is nothing surprising about that. Even children used kohl.
(In response to a viewer who say, "Would there be any harm in a Kurdish-Islamic Union?")
Turkish-Islamic Union includes Kurds, Turks, Laz people, Zaza people, Bosniaks and all of them. Everyone who thinks of himself as a Turk is a Turk. When we ask our Kurdish brothers, they say, "I am Turkish." Our Kurdish brother Ahmet Türk takes pride in his surname coming from that name. He says, "I am Turkish."

The spawn property class is responsible for creating other entities based on time related rules.
This property class can create entities at positions selected by the user. It can both create simple entities from scratch, or create them from entity templates.
You can set locations to spawn at by specifying positions or map nodes.
This is accomplished by using the
AddSpawnPosition method/action.
You can specify full templates to spawn from, or just entities with some
behaviour. This is done by using the
AddEntityTemplateType or
AddEntityType respectively.
Spawn is initially enabled, but it is necessary to specify timing information
by using
SetTiming before it can actually start spawning entities.
After this you can disable or reenable the spawner by using
By default spawned entities will get a number appended to their names to be
able to somehow differentiate them. However, this behaviour can be controlled
by the use of
namecounter and
spawnunique boolean properties.
namecounter allows disabling numbering in entity names.
spawnunique allows to prevent spawning of entities with the same name.
This is useful in combination with disabled namecounter to allow only one
entity of each name at any one time, but respawning afer the entity
dissapears (like for example for item spawn points in games).
This property class can send the following message to the behaviour.
pcspawn_newentity: new entity has been created. Holds entity and
behaviour parameters.

News & Events
Students, staff and faculty learned firsthand about filmmaking when four faculty members shared their experiences behind the camera. Participating in the Filmmaker Roundtable were Professors Diana Fox, James Moore, John Mulrooney and Magaly Ponce. They have served as film and video producers, directors, screenwriters, and editors.

Being sick and breastfeeding
Hi! I'm just curious about this issue. Is it safe to breastfeed when a mum is sick or having a fever? I've experienced this twice. On the first instance, I was afraid that my daughter might contract the influenza which I was having at that time, so I didn't offer my breast. Instead, I let her feed through her bottle. On the second occasion, I was having a fever at 39 degrees Celsius, but because my son was very fussy when drinking milk from the bottle, I still breastfed him.

Hi Venus,
Yes it is safe, and recommended, to continue breastfeeding when a mum is sick. In fact, in most countries it would only be if a mum had HIV or HTLV-1 that they should stop breastfeeding.
It is best for your baby if you continue breastfeeding if you are unwell because the breast milk will help to protect your baby from any infectious illnesses you have. If you have a cold or the flu, you should try not to sneeze on your baby or to kiss their face (and make sure you frequently wash your hands) but continue to breastfeed them. Another good reason to do this is to maintain your breast milk supply. You may need to drink extra water when you are feeling unwell or to feed your baby whilst you are laying down. You should also continue to breastfeed if you are unlucky enough to get normal food poisoning (i.e. gastrointestinal symptoms) unless it becomes septicemia (which is very uncommon).
If your doctor gives you any medication when you are unwell you should mention you are breastfeeding to check it is still ok to take, or you could take a natural alternative.
Thanks for posting this interesting question - it's something many breastfeeding mums come across.
Best wishes,

During my 9 years or more of breastfeeding, I definitely had times when I had fever or a cold, and I just snuggled my baby down next to me in bed, while she/he fed. Those babies never got sick when they were fully on breast milk and exposed to what I had. Breast milk is amazing.
Also, we can now purchase colostrum online or at the local health store. This is the substance produced when baby is first born, before the milk comes in, which is full of immune boosters. The colostrum for sale is from cows but can still benefit humans. It's sweet and you can give it to young babies or take it yourself. It comes in capsules, but if giving to a small child, just open the capsule up and empty it into some applesauce, then mix to dissolve.
Really wonderful to take if you are sick or feel a cold coming on.
Warm Regards,

It is totally fine to breastfeed while you are sick, as the others said. Even if you have an illness that requires medication, most antibiotics and other meds, are approved for breastfeeding.

Yes you can.
thanks mrfixit!
The heated grips at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC seem to be a hot item!
Can't answer the other question but be careful running all that. The battery can't keep up with all that running on high. I seem to remember an inmate running gloves on high and a vest on low and having success but not pants too. I think that will be too much.
Kind of a tapping noise? I may have the same problem. I'll be pulling mine apart in the next week or two to take a peek inside.
Thanks! I have an extra set of wheels I'll be putting those on. Did you go with the 120 or 140 on the rear? I could not find them in 130/18.
It got noisy after it warmed up, it was the cam chain banging on the cylinder head.
I just got back from attempting to disassemble the cam chain tensioner and as soon as I loosened the allen head bolt that retains the shaft the rocker fits on the rocker snapped back to being under tension. It is now where the unit is supposed to be. Can I consider it fixed so go ahead and put the engine back together?
I thought it was a 130... might have been a 140... I can't check it right now cause it's on it's way to Japan... I'll let you know when I get the bike though.
Oh, different issue. As to whether yours has fixed itself or not I can't answer that...
Good job! Looks great. I would drill an oil drain hole in it. If you are careful when you remove the drain plug, you can drain your oil without making a mess. I made a helluva mess with mine at first, but Brian got my thinking straight As far as aesthetics... I would give it hell with a scotchbrite pad and call it a day.
F Dave......i still can`t understand why you think removing the skidplate is necessary to do an oil change:huh
I remove the engine drain bolt.......pull it out just enough so it drains straight down into my pan.........then when the flow slows down i remove the bolt completely away from the oil stream.......then reinsert when done..
I remove 2 bolts from the oil filter housing.......loosen the third a turn.......lean the bike over against my leg and pull the third bolt out and let the oil filter cover and filter drop into a rag in my right hand and all the oil in the filter housing drains straight into the oil pan........when it`s drained i stand the bike up quickly onto the side stand....i get very little if any drips.....easily wiped clean with a rag.....
Pulling the skidplate off is a pain in the freekin arse,i`m lazy......and this works............
smarten up.....
Now back to drinkin some micro brewery beer,,,,,not sure what the hell it is,but it`s goooooooooooooodddddddddddd shit..
The question is how did the tensioner get at the relaxed position. It has a one way clutch in it and it should always be applying pressure on the chain guide. Not the other way round.
be careful where you tap into the headlight power...I hooked my O2 sensor to my headlight power then one day I'm out riding and hit my high beams and poof...my O2 sensor stopped working...WTF?, hit the switch back to low beams and the O2 sensor comes back on...well...crap...one more thing to modify...
As soon as I get it legal in Japan I'll be able to reinstall my FMF exhaust, oil cooler, handguards, kickstarter, grip heaters......
Hey, Barron,
How goes the registration process?
About $30 bucks ........they are stainless steel and poly.....stick them in a saddle bag and forget about them till needed.......put them away wet no problem, those others you posted would be all rusted and corroded.[/QUOTE]
Hey Bomber, that pulley in the camo bag is really slick. Where did you find this? I want one.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate the input.
Taco, I cut, bent, and fit the plates, then just tacked it together and had one of the pro welders that I work with weld it out. I can weld steel passably well, but I make messes when I play with aluminum. I need more practice I guess, or more likely I'll just keep being lazy and let the guys that do it all day every day help me
Wayne, Thanks, I think I'll go the drain hole route and leave the rest intact. I put this on about 3 weeks ago and wanted to test it out a little first before I spent time making it look pretty, which it won't stay very long anyways. I had planned to buff it with the DA and an abrasive pad once I was done cutting on it.
Hey Bomber, that pulley in the camo bag is really slick. Where did you find this? I want one.
These are pricey... but small, light and easy to pack.
How on God's green earth are you able to drain it from the main lug without getting it all over the place. If you remove the bolt slightly and leave it there, it sprays all over the place. I never once was able to do it without it getting all over the skid plate. Ok, well ALL OVER is an overstatement. It would always end up on the skid plate, a lot more than I would like. When I finally took the skid plate off.... it was an oily, gunky mess. It was so annoying that with the new skid plate I got for my other bike, I didn't care that it didn't have an oil hole. This skid plate is the best protection ever.
I need pics / video or it ain't true dude.
Hey Steve thanks for your help. Good question.. could it be possible I put this together backwards? When I took the cover off I found the cam sprocket could be moved back and forth like when the tensioner is locked in the retracted position during the assembly process. The tensioner arm was pushing on the chain guide but it had no real pressure, When I rotated the cam sprocket clockwise to tighten the chain on the tensioner side this pushed the tensioner out of the way. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Then I loosened the allen bolt and it snapped back with the correct spring pressure. Now the chain is tight and the cam sprocket cannot be rotated. I put a screwdriver on it to force the tensioner in the retracted position and it moved back a quarter inch but has good pressure on the chain guide. Should I not be able to move it back any?<o></o>

Several arborists internet sales places sell micro pulleys and line to make your own. Harbor Freight sells one called a Rope Hoist that is "rated" at 500 pounds for $7 (http://www.harborfreight.com/general-purpose-rope-hoist-45076.html.
If you want one small that can handle higher loads the arborists supply places have the pulleys and rope. For instance at Baileysonline - one double pulley rated to handle 7,000 pounds and up to 1/2" rope is priced at $45. Two of those pulleys and your choice of rope, the length you would like to have, and you are set. Those pulleys are made by CMI and other places sell them as well. The challenge will be getting rope that is not to large, most arborists rope starts at 1/2 inch, with some down to 5/16".
Hope that helps

This is the heated vest that ranked highest in heating ability and comfort in side-by-side evaluations by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Thanks to patented heat technology, this vest heated to 29.4� F above the ambient temperature on its highest setting, nearly 4X as warm as lesser garments. Panelists preferred this vest's three heating elements�strategically placed in the chest and back�for evenly distributing heat. Lesser models were criticized for concentrating too much heat on specific areas or using bulky batteries that felt heavy and awkward. The compact, 4-oz. lithium ion battery pack generates heat for 2 1/2 hours on its high setting and 8 1/2 hours on low. The battery pack has four power settings and recharges in three hours. The substantial lined polyester shell repels water and provides wind resistance. Hand wash. Black. Men's sizes S (40), M (42), L (46), or XL (50). (1 3/4 lbs.)

City Service Requests & Information
Dial 311 or 210.207.6000
The "Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial City-County Commission," now referred to as the "San Antonio Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission" or MLK Commission, was established on April 3, 1986, by official act of the San Antonio City Council through City Resolution No. 86-15-19 under the leadership of then Mayor Henry Cisneros.
The MLK Commission is a volunteer organization that each year, since 1987, coordinates the City's official commemoration of the life
and legacy of Dr. King. In 2012, San Antonio celebrated the 25th anniversary of the City-sponsored commemorative march and program.
The march, with an average annual attendance of more than 100,000 participants, is one of the largest commemorations in the nation honoring Dr. King.
The Cesar E. Chavez Legacy and Educational Fund is proud to help keep the legacy and dream of Cesar Chavez alive for future generations. The people of San Antonio have been very receptive to this yearly event and once again, we are proud to announce that the City of San Antonio is a co-sponsor of the 19th annual March for Justice taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2015. The Community Program begins at 9 a.m. The stage will be located at the corner of Guadalupe and S. Brazos Streets. Participants will then march to the Alamo at 10 a.m.
The month of March is a special time to remember civil rights leader Cesar E. Chavez. This year marks the 49th anniversary of Cesar Chavez's historic 350-mile pilgrimage from Delano to Sacramento, which drew national attention to the plight of farm workers in America.
To honor this anniversary and to energize people with the power of civic engagement, we invite you to join us for several events commemorating Cesar E. Chavez, including the 19th annual Cesar E. Chavez March for Justice.

Stratford quarterback and 4-star Georgia recruit has a hidden artistic talen
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
It's not everyday you find a football player that likes to draw in his free time, but Jacob Park, star quarterback at Stratford High School, shows that football and art can easily mix."I don't claim to be an artist, but I try to be," says Park.
Jacob started drawing at a young age. Artwork from his elementary school days decorate the walls of the Park household, and he has never stopped drawing since. He credits his uncle as his inspiration. "I always had a little interest in it, but as I get older and I hang out with my uncle more, who is a tattoo artist in Virginia, he gets my creativity going. When I leave there, I just keep drawing and drawing. I've seen him more and more lately so it just became a part of something I do."
Call it detox time for a four star recruit with big football dreams. "I like sitting down when I get home in a quiet room and just drawing a picture. It just clears my head and then I go back to my regular life."
One of the drawings Park has kept over the years may seem a little out of place for the University of Georgia verbal commit. It is a drawing of a USC football player, wearing the number 10, the same number Jacob wears at Stratford. He jokes, "I drew this when I thought I wanted to go to Carolina. which obviously didn't happen."
Jacob has as much pride in his artwork, as he has confidence on the football field. It all stems from the same place within. "It's just about being confident in who you are. That is what my Dad has always taught me, to be who you want to be. Don't try to be anybody."
The advice has done Jacob well. His confidence and skills on the field have helped lead the Stratford Knights to a 4-0 start where he has already thrown for over 1,200 yards.
Football is obviously his first love, and he plans to play for as long as possible, but in the meantime no is going to naysay this quarterback for his downtime hobby. "I am confident in who I am. If you don't like me, you don't like me. If you do, you do. That's just how I have always been."

OLYMPIA — The 12th Man is about to go where it's never been able to go before — on license plates.
Specialty plates featuring logos of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders FC would go on sale as early as January under a bill rushing through the Legislature.
"On Day One, I will be getting mine," said Phil Andruss, of Lynnwood, whom Seahawk fans know better as Mr. Mohawk.
"There'll be thousands of fans getting them," he said. "You'll be driving and see somebody else with one and you'll know it's one of your people. It's the 12th Man."
Senate Bill 5152 creates specialty license plates for two of the state's most popular pro sport franchises.
Each set will cost $40, which includes fees for the Department of Licensing to set up and administer the program. Plate renewals will cost $30.
Money from plate sales will be divided among a state fund used to build sports facilities and two programs aimed at helping students.
Seahawk and Sounder executives called on Lt. Gov. Brad Owen to draw up the legislation. Owen said they wanted to satisfy their fans who've been clamoring for a license plate for years and be able to steer money into worthy programs.
"What more can you ask for as sports fans?" Owen said. "It gives you another opportunity to show support for your team and for the kids."
The bill flew through the Senate, passing 48-0 on Feb. 6. It cleared the House Transportation Committee on March 21 and will soon be teed up for a vote in the chamber.
Unless lawmakers fumble, Gov. Jay Inslee, a pretty dedicated sports fan, is set to sign this bill if it reaches him.
"When it comes to his desk we'll be sure to have a 12th Man flag and Sounders banner displayed," said Jaime Smith, the governor's spokeswoman.
Plates would go on sale Jan. 1. How many of each would be sold is unknown.
A report from the Office of Financial Management estimated 9,000 sets — 4,500 for each team — would be sold in the first year and climb to 6,000 sets apiece in the second year.
Sales are projected to net $1.1 million in the next two years. Over time, the sum will double and maybe triple, according to the analysis.
Half the money raised from license plate sales will go into the state's Youth Athletic Facilities Fund and used to develop sports fields.
The remaining proceeds generated by Seahawk plates will go to InvestED, a nonprofit group that partners with secondary schools to help students acquire small items for school they cannot afford on their own. The group has helped more than 16,500 students buy items such as shoes, coats, glasses and sports equipment, and pay for academic fees, according to its website.
Half the money raised from sales of Sounders plates will go to Washington State Mentors, which works to expand youth mentoring programs statewide. Owen is the chairman of the board of directors.

News—AGTS offers training seminar for emergency services chaplains, October 26–27
On October 26–27, 2011, AGTS will partner with the Assemblies of God Chaplaincy Ministries Office and AGTS alumnus Robby Jernigan (M.A. 1981) to offer a two-day, ministry development seminar at AGTS for those working as or interested in becoming volunteer chaplains in the fields of fire, law enforcement, EMS or emergency dispatch.
"A well-trained, active emergency services chaplain can become a bridge between a caring church(es) and hurting people within its community," said Jernigan. "Emergency Services Chaplains minister to both responders and citizens in crisis."
The Emergency Services Chaplain Training Seminar will include instruction, group discussions, role-playing, etc. and will culminate with a field training exercise involving several emergency services agencies. The training scenario is intended to allow the participant to experience the sights, sounds, smells and emotions of a crisis event and to learn how to minister to those affected.
Topics will include:
The seminar will begin on Wednesday, October 26, at 8:50 a.m. and will dismiss at 5 p.m., resuming at around 9 a.m. the next morning until 5 p.m. that night.
Email Robby Jernigan (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you are interested. The seminar is free but donations are accepted. Certificates of completion will be issued.

Manscaping Part Two: Why Men Color Their Hair
In the Madmen era, men went to the barber for a buzz cut, swiped on some brylcreem, splashed on a little cologne and they were good to go. Today, men spend almost as much time on personal grooming as women do - getting manicures, pedicures, waxing and hair coloring. Male celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Patrick Dempsey, Ben Stiller and Will Smith color their hair to stay looking youthful for the screen, so why can't the every day man? Well, it turns out they can and they do, especially here in Los Angeles where they not only frequent the salon, but have their own colorist. In this blog, we'll find out more about why men color their hair, whether it's to appear younger, look more confident, feel more confident, or get more women.

Adobe Systems is forcing its Creative Suite users to pay a monthly subscription of $50 to $70 for what it is calling Creative Cloud; you'll pay $80 per month if you don't sign a one-year commitment. There'll soon no longer be a version you can buy once and use forever, as the version 6 Creative Suite will be available only for an unspecified time. Along the same lines, Microsoft says it won't guarantee that Office will always be available in the traditional one-time-purchase license, and it's clear that Office 2013 is the transition step to a subscription-only model like Adobe's. Expect every major software publisher to do the same in the next few years.
Meanwhile, Internet service providers -- both wired broadband and cellular -- have already shifted to tiered data plans, which in effect make all cloud services, from Google Apps to Facebook to Netflix, metered services. You've probably already received a "courtesy notice" from your home broadband provider that you've exceeded or come close to exceeding a cap you never knew existed and suggesting you buy a higher-tier plan.
[ How the carriers are pushing the Internet off a cliff and threatening Internet video, too. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
The taxi-meter model will be devastating, raising the cost of computing at all levels, whether you use local apps, cloud services, or a mix. In fact, the way things are going, you'll often pay twice to access content or apps: once for the subscription and once for the transmission. That's just wrong.
I need to be clear that metered broadband access and metered application usage are not the same thing. What they have in common is a rapacious business model.
Broadband metering: A rigged system
Broadband is a limited resource, especially cellular broadband, so unlimited usage models are unrealistic.
But as I've previously shown, the carriers' pricing structures aren't about penalizing wasteful use. Rather, the intention is to charge as much as possible in an essentially duopoly business. The big threat to the cable/phone company duopoly is Internet-based video, and they're killing that competition through data caps they don't apply to their own video offerings. In other words, if you watch videos on Netflix or Amazon, you pay for the data transmission on top of the subscription fees; if you watch the cable or telco videos, you pay for just the subscription, even though it all comes over the same broadband. The game is rigged.
The issue for broadband is how to have fair metering. The answer is a combination of progressive rates, rather than the current regressive ones, and plans that cover all devices. The last is important because carriers see each device you have as a way to force a high-priced plan in which you use far less data than you are ostensibly buying. As you use more devices, you both pay more and waste more money. It's great for them, but unsustainable for most people.
I'm not holding my breath for fairness. Instead, I expect the metering to increase, and that will lead to users self-rationing the services they use, with bandwidth-intensive services like video and music streaming, conferencing, and VDI/desktop-as-a-service especially vulnerable.
Providers need to prepare for this coming parsimony by throttling back how much data they transmit. Google Apps, Office Web Apps, iCloud, SkyDrive, Box, Dropbox, and the like may need to rely more on local storage and access at the device level, with less-frequent syncing to the server and more compact deltas (change files) being synced. (Maybe this is why Google is experimenting becoming an ISP with Google Fiber.) Businesses will soon have to pay a real price when insisting, in the name of security, that users be forbidden from working on data locally but instead must work over the Internet with constant data flow.
The bottom line is that data-metering costs will force users, IT, and developers alike to make hard decisions.
