Novak Djokovic continued his domination of the professional tennis world Monday night, unseating reigning U.S. Open champion Rafael Nadal in four sets.
With the win, Djokovic increased his record on the year to an amazing 64-2.
"It really seems unreal," Djokovic said after the match. "I'm going for it, I'm more aggressive, and I have just a different approach to the semifinals and finals of major events."
Djokovic rarely had cause for worry in Monday match. Despite losing the third set, he dominated the match from start to finish.
"I felt great," said Djokovich. "Maybe it is the best match I played in the U.S. Open so far this year. I stepped on the court believing I can win."
Meanwhile, on the women's side, No. 9 seed Samantha Stosur won her first Grand Slam title, shocking the Open crowd with a quick two-set defeat of 13-time Grand Slam champ Serena Williams, 6-2, 6-3.
Stosur knew she would have to play her best to defeat Williams, who on her way to the finals made quick work of both No. 4 seed Victoria Azarenka and No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki.
"I've played matches where I feel like I played lights out, can't miss a ball, and it's fantastic," said Stosur. "But to do it under these circumstances in this kind of final against a player like Serena, for sure I'm going to think it's one of the best days of my career."
Things got tense early on in the second set, when chair umpire Eva Asderaki awarded a point to Stosur because Williams yelled just before her opponent went to hit the ball. Williams immediately started arguing with Asderaki, and didn't let up the rest of the match.
Afterward, Williams refused to shake the umpire's hand.
Williams outburst could have led to her being barred from participating in next year's Open, but an investigation into the matter led to Williams being issued a $2,000 fine.

Local children awarded for bravery during recent abduction of CMU student
James Persyn III, 14, and his sister Acelin, 11, shook hands with reporter after reporter outside the Board of Commissioners room at the Isabella County Building Tuesday evening.
At 7 p.m., Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski presented the Shepherd residents with "Lifesaving Awards" for their part in the protection and survival of a Central Michigan University student who was abducted outside of the Student Activity Center and later sexually assaulted on Jan. 16.
At the opening of the meeting, Chairperson George Green expressed his gratitude to the siblings, praising them for their acts of bravery that night when the victim sought entry into their home shortly after escaping her captor.
"We are all very proud of what you did," Green said.
This is only the second time in eight years that Mioduszewski has given out the prestigious award.
"These two went above and beyond what normal students would do," Mioduszewski said. "There's no question in my mind that her captor intended on murdering her that evening. Fortunately for the victim, that's the only reason she's alive today ... she ran to James and Acelin, who were home at the time."
Mioduszewski was referring to the decision James and his sister made to let the CMU student into their home, conceal her in their bathroom and give her the phone to call police shortly before their father, James Persyn Jr., returned home.
When asked what it was that made him open the door to a stranger that night, James III was both humble and quick to answer.
"Her voice," James III said. "Just her panic."
In addition to their award, Mioduszewski gave them a two-night stay at the Soaring Eagle Water Park and Hotel, 5665 E. Pickard Road, with passes to one of the resort's restaurants for the entire family.
"I'm just really thankful," James III said. "It's definitely amazing"

Saving Retirement in Michigan
Responsible Alternatives to Social Security
Social Security is going bankrupt, threatening the financial security of Michigan citizens. Retiring Baby Boomers are estimated to double the number of retirees in America by 2015, when Social Security will no longer collect enough in taxes to pay the benefits promised to recipients.
Privatizing Social Security-allowing individuals to privately invest their own retirement savings-can avert the financial crisis. Countries including Chile and Great Britain have privatized all or part of their state pension programs, yielding retiree benefits much higher than the government systems, including Social Security's paltry 2.2 percent annual rate of return.
This study recommends that the Michigan Legislature call on Congress to either privatize Social Security or allow Michigan to design for its citizens a sounder and more beneficial retirement plan.

Are You at Risk for a Stroke?
The first steps that may save your life
When you think about killer conditions, a stroke may not be at the top of your list. But it's one of the leading causes of death in America. For every three people who suffer a stroke, one will not survive. It can strike anyone…even you. But how do you know if you're at risk?
See also: How to avoid having a stroke.
Jim Baranski at the National Stroke Association says the risk factors for stroke can be broken down into two categories: 1) uncontrollable risks, such as age and gender, and 2) controllable risks, like blood pressure, drug and alcohol use and diet.
Pay attention — this information might just save your life.

Utah State University has become a stellar place of learning and discovery without sacrificing its home-like familiarity. Alumni return time and again to walk the Quad, have an ice cream cone or kiss on the block A. At Utah State we are preserving those wonderful places as we grow and change to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
As technology has changed the way we teach and learn, our teaching environments have to change as well. From the newly renovated Edith Bowen Laboratory School to the pristine performance experience of the Manon Caine Russell Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall, Utah State University is providing students with unparalleled access to the highest quality learning.
Over the course of the campaign, Utah State University secured funding for 24 new buildings and named four colleges after generous donors. With the addition of these new places of learning, students and faculty will be offered endless opportunities to further their research and make a positive impact in their fields.
The new buildings rising on our grounds illustrate the generosity of our donors as well as their personal commitment to the success of our students, faculty and university. Generations of students and faculty will benefit from these new facilities and the classrooms and laboratories that they provide.
One of the most noteworthy feats of the campaign is the naming of four of our academic colleges. The namings reflect the outstanding commitment and generosity of long-standing supporters and their belief in the future of Utah State University and its impact around the state, the nation and the world.
These places are not just bricks and mortar; they become the institutional presence in the hearts and minds of our students and alumni.

Virual website domains get setup and work fine, so I'm assuming its not ISPConfig, or the database. ISPConfig sets up the mailbox account correctly in MYSQL, the mailbox directory is setup in /var/vmail/virtualdomain.com/user.. The new user gets the welcome email message (I can use Webmin to read it).

United Way of Henderson County (UWHC) advances the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all residents of Henderson County. We recruit people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done.
United Way of Henderson County (UWHC) advances the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all residents of Henderson County. We recruit people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done.
UWHC offers abundant ways to live united. By giving, advocating and volunteering, you can be a part of the amazing transformation taking place in our community right now.
I have been closely involved with United Way for seven years. Two things stand out for me when I consider their work in this community:
I have met many nonprofit executive directors and staff, and I know they are working hard to improve Henderson County. The work they do is more valuable than most people realize. With a strong belief in their mission and goals, most deal with situations the rest of us never consider. We are not aware of the depth of pain they observe each day in the lives of their clients. Yet they continue on, striving to move this community forward. They are amazing stewards of the funding and trust we invest in them.
The second outstanding aspect of working with UWHC is having the privilege of working with the United Way staff members themselves. Ruth, Laresa, David, Robin, Kristen and Diana are all top-notch members of a top-notch team. They are great folks who work hard for our community.
HC2025 is UWHC's new plan to improve our community over the next decade — and the results are measurable. The discussions on these goals and target issues have been going on for about three years and have been based on data gathered from local and state resources.
One of the main reasons I can really get behind HC2025 is that it shifts how we measure our success. Until now, our success has been measured by the dollars raised each year in our annual campaign. Now, those aspects we believe are most important to promoting progressive change in our community will be empowered by sustained efforts that will accomplish measurable improvements. United Way is leading the way to real, long-lasting, positive change.
There are many ways to be a part of this community change. The New Year is close at hand, but it's not too late to give to the 2013 campaign. All gifts received or postmarked by Tuesday will be deductible in this tax year. If you haven't yet made an investment with UWHC, I encourage you to do so now. Give and be a part of the change. You can give online at liveunitedhc.org or call 828-692-1636.
There are also opportunities to volunteer with UWHC. Consider joining a funding panel to help determine where UWHC invests your Community Impact Fund dollars to make long-lasting, positive changes in the areas of education, income and health. Follow your passions when you choose a volunteer activity. Encourage others to volunteer with you. Lend your muscle. Find an outlet for your creativity, talents and business acumen.
You can make a difference in our community through United Way. Advocating for this organization or any of our funded community partners is a powerful way to participate in positive change. Raise your voice, use your right to vote, and stand up for what you believe in.
Our community has a lot of need — and that means there is a lot of opportunity to make a difference.
What difference can you make? Probably more than you think. It's not a one-way street; what you give to our community, you will get back through the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference. Thank you for what you have done. And thank you for what you will do.
Mark Morse is the United Way of Henderson County board chairman.

Harrington Police have arrested a local man after he allegedly attempted to strangle another person.
Harrington Police have arrested a local man after he allegedly attempted to strangle another person.
The incident took place the evening of April 28, said police department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode as officers went to a home on Central Park Drive to investigate a domestic assault complaint.
Officers noted Harding's alleged victim was showing facial injuries and called an ambulance to transfer that person to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Their investigation showed Harding and the victim, whose name and gender was not released, had gotten into a fight and that Harding hit the victim in the face with a telephone and then tried to choke the victim.
Harding was charged with strangulation, two counts of third-degree assault, offensive touching and malicious interference with interference with emergency communications.
He was jailed at the Sussex Correctional Institute in default of a $7,600 secured bond.

Tool: Language
Human spatial cognition and learning can be greatly influenced by the symbol systems we use to represent and communicate about space. In particular, spatial language—by far the most ubiquitous of all our external representational systems—can enhance spatial cognition in several ways. Spatial language encodes space in categorical terms and emphasizes qualitative divisions of space rather than metric properties. Spatial language thus can invite qualitative categories that guide spatial reasoning. Spatial language provides tools for labeling spatial relations and focuses attention on patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. Moreover, spatial language can form an abstract system that permits analogical extensions of spatial representations to other domains.
The goals of our research on Spatial Language are:
- To explore the effects of spatial language on spatial cognition.
- To delineate the cognitive constraints on spatial language.
- To understand how spatial language is learned.
- To explore the neural representation of spatial language and thought.

Rin's new second shift concept:
-still based around the thermal pressure cannons
-Now also has a "cloth" theme
-smaller and much more simplistic in design compared to the original if judging by sight
-the "cloth" comes from an IS synthesized material called dragon's hair, a unique metal fiber. It's unique because the crystal structure of the metal is flexible much like silk fibers but infinitely stronger. The sub-atomic bonds which are normally soft, clamp down and stiffen instead of dissipating when an electric charge is run through the metal, causing no ionization of the material itself.
A true second shift for Ichika:
-involves a big ass sword, shield, claw that can separate into more swords
-barrier void energy stored in swords instead of being derived from Byakushiki itself.

Untitled as of now, but probably something along the line of "Unsung War: Shattered Skies". It will combine AC4 and 5 in same storyline, with AC5 use most of the canon cast but has Dan as Blaze, the undescribed player character.
AU warning is in effect either way, since I.S. aren't featured at all (hell, It doesn't even set in our world)
Spoiler for Strangereal map, HUEG:
@ Hawke
I wish I can get ANY untranslated English novel here, even the translated one... well, JK Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, you name it, none of which are SciFi writer. Funny thing I could get a new copy of Battleship (2012) novel somehow, untranslated at that.
Yeah, one more reason why my writing suck. I'll try some of those books assuming I could find it, but for now, well...
@ Stratos
Whoa, that's epic one. At least for me.

Not really, but exactly what's the point? It was shown than there's limit to that ability as well (unless you decided no, there's no limit)

Hmmm I do... sadly the Byakushiki looks even more feminine in my thoughts. But something I envision when trying to put together the second shift is an arrow.
Shenlong is almost complete. Now I just have to finalize the weapons loadout.
For Shenlong, second shift I think I'll name it Shenlong Baisuizhen. Bai suizhen refers to the dragon hair cloth that the Shenlong wears reminiscent of a hagoromo.
Bai suizhen is normally a piece of near indestructable cloth, but it actually has a limited set of nanomachines ingrained in it. These nanomachines direct the crystal structure within the cloth and make it seem as if it's living cloth.
On Shenlong's back, wrists and ankles would be sort of exit holes where the dragon hair can be drawn through. That's because it is also in these locations that the pressure cannon is formed. Air compression is achieved by the abnormal strength of the dragon hair acting as a compression chamber, Since it can conduct electricity, it can also statically charge the air or heat it to generate shock bullets or thermal bullets.
Visually, compared to the original shenlong, there seems to be less armor. That is false, the limbs are much smaller and the giant daos are replaced by the Bai suizhen and dragon hair cloth. The IS pilot herself is garbed in dragon cloth, mostly in the form of a qipao. In comparison, the Shenlong Baisuizhen looks much more like armor instead of a robot. It also provides a greater range of movement with less clunky limbs.

Well...... Byakushiki's AI is technically female so.... your thought is not incorrect.
I am thinking about working on a male OC that is less military super solider (How many male OC can you find are not some badass super solider?).
Namely one that is little kleptomaniac and can lie without batting an eye.
(Note: I am not abandoning the Rouge AI theme though, just modifying it a little.)

Not a moment too soon, here's the CFP for this year's CG Fall workshop. Your humble geomblogger has the honor of chairing the organizing committee this year.
For the first time, the workshop will be held at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia. Submission deadline for 2 page abstracts is Oct 19, with results announced a week later. As always, we encourage submissions for work in progress, being submitted, already published; the workshop has no formal proceedings, and the participatory atmosphere is one of the best things I have liked about workshops past.

Start season 2-0 for first time since 2005
The Georgia Southwestern women's soccer team defeated Converse College 2-0 to win the GSW Invitational on Sunday afternoon at Hurricane Field.
Geavonni Bryant put Southwestern on the board at the 21:47 mark when she found the lower right corner of the goal from the middle of the box for her second goal of the season.
The two teams went back-and-forth until the 85th minute when Brittney Hill, the Lady 'Canes leading scorer a year ago, recorded her first goal of the season when she punched a shot into the upper right corner of the goal past the outstretched arms of Ashley Mercuri from Converse. Elizabeth Keller led Hill with a pass to the left corner of the box to earn the assist.
GSW goalkeeper Amber Bahri notched her second consecutive shutout with four saves. On the other side, Mercuri stopped seven.
The Lady Hurricanes outshot Converse 15-7 and held a 9-2 corner kicks advantage. GSW's nine corner kicks broke a single-game school record.
Southwestern is back in action on Tuesday (9/1) at Hurricane Field against North Alabama. Kick-off is at 4 p.m.

Difference between revisions of "Eysturoy"
Revision as of 13:50, 26 April 2007
There are tourist information offices in Runavík and Fuglafjørður.
Towns and Villages
Other destinations
The island has a stunning landscape. Eysturoy is extremely rugged, with some 66 separate mountain peaks, including Slættaratindur, the highest peak in the archipelago. The region up north is both steep and high. In this area you will find the highest mountains in the Faroes, as well as a number of steep headlands, high vertical sea cliffs, narrow clefts, and green fertile valleys. Visitors in this part of Eysturoy will be rewarded with numerous breath-taking views. The two tourist offices in Eysturoy have several guided hikes on their programme. Meanwhile, the landscape in the southern region is rather flat and smooth. The terrain around the idyllic Toftir Lake (Toftavatn) on the east coast of the fjord, Skálafjørður, is a splendid choice for an outing. The heather covered hillsides surrounding the lake are considered unique in the Faroe Islands.
The population counts 10,586. There are 9 municipalities and 38 villages.
Fishery is the main industry in the Faroe islands, with 97% of the export value coming from fish and fish products. And Eysturoy certaintly isn´t an exception in this area, whith people mainly making a living from the sea. For instance from pelagic fish and saltfish production, salmon slaughtering, fish factories, fish auctions, landing stations and engineering industry amongst others. However, there are many other industrial activities on Eysturoy, as well as large trade and service industries on the eastern arm of Skálafjørður.
Get in
The inter-town bus system (Bygdaleiðir), has together with the public ferry company established a coherent and well-developed public transport system which takes in all settlements on Faroes - including Eysturoy. Eysturoy is in the center of the Faroes, from where you can reach all parts of the country with bus or ferry. Eysturoy is connected with Streymoy via a road bridge over the sound. Because the channel is so narrow, spectacular eddies form at the base of the bridge when the current is running strong with the tide. This spectacular introduction to the island quickly pales however, as the traveller explores all the unique features and vistas of Eysturoy. The southern towns are more quickly reached from the capital Tórshavn via car ferry. Leirvík on the east coast of the island is the gateway for transport connections to the north-eastern islands, particularly Klaksvík on the island of Borðoy, which is the Faroes' second-largest town.
Get around
Public Transport
There are bus services to all places on Eysuroy every day. For information about public transport get a schedule (Ferðaætlan) listing the various timetables for the inter-town buses (and ferries) from the tourist office, as well as the central bus station near the harbour in Tórshavn. Transport is quite expensive, so check for student discount or multiple-ride-cards. Students as well as children and pensioners are eligible for discounts on fares provided they show a student or pensioner identity card.

Sites of interest on Eysturoy include the villages of Eiði and Gjógv, the latter having a small natural port in a rock column; and the varmakelda (thermal springs) of Fuglafjørður, which indicate the volcanic origin of the archipelago. Off the northern tip of the island are the basalt sea stacks Risin og Kellingin

You will find several restaurants and cafeterias in the larger villages in Eysturoy, which are scattered all over the island.
Accommodation is possible in almost every town and village in the island, ranging from 3-star hotels to guesthouses, youth hostels, and camping sites.
Regional Festivals
Eysturoy has its fair share of summer festivals, such as Eystanstevna, Fjarðastevna and Varmakelda, held in the middle of June and the beginning of July:
As with the other festivals around the country, the festivities make their mark on the towns with flags, music, speeches and finely dressed people. There are concerts and sporting events including boat races, which are a part of the annual competition to find the Faroese rowing champions.
Music Festivals
The village of Gøta is home to an incredibly popular music event called the G! Festival. It is the largest open air music festival on the Faroes. The entire village and beach become a part of the arrangement. The organisers of the event have been successful in attracting several exciting international artists over the years.
Stay safe

Genoa-Kingston Superintendent Joe Burgess never considered that a staff member's child could be a safety threat.
Leaders in his district review their emergency plans twice a year, but he said they'll start an impromptu third review Monday in light of Friday's shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that left 26 people, plus the shooter, dead. Media reports Friday afternoon indicated the shooter's mother worked at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"That school probably didn't think anything about the child of a worker," Burgess said. "... It seems every time you think you have bases covered, something else comes up. Any school official you talk to is going to tell you it's our greatest fear."
Local school leaders sent their sympathies and prayers to their counterparts in Connecticut on Friday as they determined how they would address their own parents and students.
Both Gov. Pat Quinn and Northern Illinois University President John Peters referenced the Feb. 14, 2008, shooting at NIU in statements issued Friday afternoon. Quinn ordered flags in Illinois be flown at half staff in memory of those slain.
"Our hearts ache for the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School, and for their families," Peters said in the statement. "We pray that they find strength and comfort today and in the many difficult days ahead. We share an understanding of the pain and devastation that such senseless violence inflicts, and we grieve alongside the community of Newtown, Connecticut."
Burgess and Sycamore Community Unit School District 427 Superintendent Kathy Countryman both sent e-mails to district parents assuring them safety is a priority; DeKalb District 428 Superintendent James Briscoe expected to send a similar message to parents over the weekend.
Hiawatha High School will host a series of drills today that was planned for weeks. Kirkland Village President Les Bellah said residents should not to be alarmed to see first responders in the area.
He said the event would start at 9 a.m. and last for about eight hours.
Similarly, Sycamore High School staff will have intruder response training on Friday; other Sycamore schools already completed the annual training.
Talking about tragedy
Countryman offered some advice for parents on talking about the shootings with their children. She advised parents to limit children's exposure to media coverage of the shootings, encourage their children to ask questions about the events, and to gently correct any misinformation in the children's minds.
She said parents need to listen carefully.
"We never know how it's going to impact individual students, but just listening and asking questions I think is going to be most important as we react to this," Countryman said.
In fact, Charles Myers, a Northern Illinois University assistant professor of counseling, suggested parents of elementary school-aged children start by asking them questions. If their children don't ask them about the shootings, parents can open the conversation by mentioning they might have heard about it at school and asking if they have any questions.
"Parents should not be afraid to talk about it with children," Myers said. "If children are asking, then they want to know, and it's important for them to have a conversation about it."
He encouraged parents to validate children's emotions without communicating panic or distress that could further scare their children. Young children likely won't know anyone affected or be able to relate to the shooting itself, but they will respond to how adults around them react, Myers said.
"What's real is the reactions or the emotions of the adults around them," Myers said. "If the adult is pretty panicky, the child is going to be pretty panicky."

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - Number one nationally ranked MIT swept the top eight positions in the 5k course at Smith College on Saturday afternoon, earning the Engineers their sixth consecutive New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) championship title and their eighth overall. The Cardinal and Gray finished with just 15 points, the lowest possible, ahead of last year's runner-up Wellesley with 74 points and host Smith with 124. Senior Brooke Johnson (Shoreham, N.Y.) crossed the line first in 18:30.07, earning her NEWMAC Runner of the Year honors, and sophomore Elaine McVay (San Ramon, Calif.) followed directly behind her with a time of 18:30.85.
Not far behind McVay was freshman Sarah Quinn (Watchung, N.J.), who broke the tape in 18:37.56 and earned Rookie of the Year honors. She was followed by juniors Alexandra Taylor (Harbor Springs, Mich.) and Kaitlin Allen (Bedford, N.H.), freshman Nicole Zeinstra (Holland, Mich.) and sophomore Dacie Manion (Old Town, Maine), who all finished the course within six seconds of each other, taking fourth through seventh place. Junior Martina de Geus (Los Altos, Calif.) completed the course a few seconds later with a time of 19:04.52, narrowly edging out Priyanka Fouda of Wellesley, who finished just two tenths of a second later and was only one of two non-MIT runners to crack the top ten.
MIT continued to cross the line in quick succession: sophomore Kali Benavides (Miami, Fla.) finished in 12th place with a time of 19:09.75, freshman Allison Hallock (Boulder, Colo.) broke the tape in 19:17.45 to earn a 15th place finish, and junior Louise van den Heuvel (Nashua, N.H.) and sophomore Cindy Huang (San Jose, Calif.) finished within three seconds of each other in the 18th and 19th positions.

Track keeps adrenalin junkies off the streets
EL PASO, Texas—The need for speed can grip the interest of a driver from the first time he sits behind the steering wheel of a vehicle, but finding a safe place to fill this need is often difficult.
The staff at the El Paso Motorplex understand these difficulties all too well, and on top of offering safe and International Hot Rod Association certified drag racing, they also reach out to service members by offering discounted rates to all attendees and racers with a military ID.
"From the first time I came to the track, it was always safety first," said Sgt. Roger Bergerann, an infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas. "As a father and husband, it's important for me to be safe, and even if I do go down on my bike, there are always medics on the scene."
Bergerann said it is easy for even the most novice drag racer to get started. There are certified inspectors at the track who can describe everything needed to certify and race anything from the fastest dragsters to the family car.
Throughout the summer, the El Paso Motorplex usually offers racing on Friday and Saturday nights. Fridays are designed for beginners to learn all the rules and regulations, as well as giving more serious competitors a chance to test run their vehicles. Friday nights' events are aptly named "Test N Tunes." Saturdays are geared toward the more experienced racers, who compete in vehicles from varying classes with money invested into performance that can price more than $100,000.
"The one thing I always want to stress to anyone coming out or looking to come out is that we are a tight knit community, and family, that is always welcoming of anyone who comes out to join us," said Ben DeLaVega, racing director for the El Paso Motorplex. "We also have a strong sense of pride in our local military community, with a lot of the staff being (military) retirees themselves. Anything we can do to help them drag their cars, but do it in a safe manner, we are happy to do."
That community and family theme is also present in the driver pits, with family-run teams such as Jefferson Racing and their leader Dwight Jefferson, a man with more than 40 years of racing experience.
"Not only do I have a family racing team, but we consider ourselves as having family all over the pits," said Jefferson, who has 12 and 19-year-old grandsons who drag race for Jefferson Racing. "Whenever we go on the track or travel to other races, everyone reaches out and helps each other; it really is a tight community."
Jefferson added that on Friday nights he likes to help with the other more experienced drivers to welcome in people new to the sport.
"What I don't like to see is someone come out here and struggle with their cars on the track," said Jefferson. "When someone struggles, they get discouraged, and when they get discouraged, they quit."
Additionally, Jefferson said lesser experienced drivers may chose to race on public streets instead of a certified track; when doing so they may try to do too much with their cars and lose control, causing potential injuries and innocent deaths.
"People are always going to want to drive fast," said DeLaVega. "We take a lot of pride in offering people a safe place to do so at a reasonable price."
The track is at 16400 Gateway Blvd. West in Clint, Texas. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/theelpasomotorplex.

If I had $500 to spend I would start with a) more kegsb) a bigger kettle (at least 15 gallons maybe a keggle)c) gotta have a bigger mash tun if you are going to use that 15 gallon pot to make 10 gallon batches!d) more kegs
If you have the space, what about a fermentation fridge/freezer with temp control? Also, a grain mill, love mine. +1 on kegs though, can never have to many and the way prices are getting....
2. Kegerator + temp controllerDefinitely, this is a huge improvement in beer quality. Having fermentation temperature control is imperative.3. 1-10 gallon SS brew kettle with ball valve4. 1-5 gallon SS brew kettleI don't feel that the premium for a SS kettle is worth it. Aluminum is more effective than SS with heat transfer from external flame to internal wort. In addition, I've found its every bit as durable. I suggest finding a 10 to 15 gal aluminum kettle on Ebay or craigslist along with a lid of some sort. You can easily add a drain valve later. 5. Coleman 52 Quart Xtreme cooler as my mash tunThat is what I have, works well.6. 5 gallon corny kegOnce you have kegs, you'll wonder why you ever bottled. It is such a time and effort saver.7. Counterpressure fillerThis is kind of iffy. I have one, but hear a lot about a Beergun.8. 5 gallan & 6.5 gallon glass carboyYou only need the big one. Don't move your beer to a secondary vessel, just move it directly to the keg after the beer has cleared. You don't really need a glass carboy if you move your beer in a timely fashion from a bucket to the keg. A glass carboy is definitely one of the most dangerous articles in a home brewery. Think carefully about including one in your equipment list. I bit the bullet and upgraded to a SS conical fermenter, just for safety reasons. 9. 2 Bayou Classic burnersI found that a single burner was sufficient. When you think about it, you'll be heating sparge water when the rest of your wort is in the mash tun. So there isn't a need for two burners then. Having an insulated vessel to hold that hot sparge water is recommended. I used to overheat my sparge water and put it in a regular bottling bucket and that worked well. When you are running off your wort into the kettle, it can be sitting on the burner and you can proceed directly to the boil. Again...no second burner is necessary.

Bigger batches might require bigger burners too.Your mash tun is way oversized for fly sparging 5-gal batches. I was pretty happy with my 40 qt mash tun for 10-gal batches except for making beers with 7+% alcohol. I can't imagine why you would want a mash tun bigger than 52 quarts.
perhaps with fly sparging but batch spargeing I can fill my 72 qt to the brim doing a no sparge 10 gallon batch or a really big 5 gallon batch. in fact, I just did 10 gallons of 1.051 kolsch and i had to reserve about 1.5 gallons of my mash out water till I had run some off because it was to full. This is the first I have heard that keggles are bad, why for?

UC Davis researcher Iannis Adamopoulos has received a $1.5 million grant from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases to study the causes of rheumatoid arthritis -- a chronic disease that affects people of all ages and leads to permanent bone and joint damage.
Adamopoulos began investigating inflammation and arthritis at Oxford University, where he studied interactions of the immune and skeletal systems in the progression of the disease. His research currently focuses on cells known as osteoclasts and their role in triggering cellular and molecular events that lead to bone destruction.
Adamopoulos, an assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Internal Medicine and researcher with the Northern California Institute for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine at Shriners Hospitals for Children - Northern California, will use the new funding to further define the effects of osteoclasts in the onset of arthritis and to identify therapeutics that block that process.
"We've made a lot of progress in arthritis treatment in the last decade, but there are still millions of patients who are not helped by those advances," said Timothy Albertson, chair of the UC Davis Department of Internal Medicine. "Dr. Adamopoulos' innovative thinking could lessen the pain and disability associated with arthritis and also has the potential to reduce the disease process."
Adamopoulos was recruited to UC Davis in 2010 from the DNAX Research Institute, a division of Schering-Plough (currently Merck) in Palo Alto, Calif., where he discovered that the abnormal expression of a cytokine known as interleukin 23 (IL-23) activates osteoclast activity that causes severe arthritis and bone loss in mice. He has since confirmed that finding in human cells. His next step is to determine the potential of IL-23 inhibitors in arthritis treatment.
Adamopoulos was recognized in 2011 as an Arthritis National Research Foundation Scholar and Sontag Foundation Fellow, honors reserved for promising, early-career arthritis investigators. His findings were recently presented at the International Conference on Osteoimmunology in Corfu, Greece, and have been published in the Journal of Immunology, Journal of Experimental Medicine and Arthritis and Rheumatism. He serves as a reviewer for leading journals in rheumatology, as well as on the scientific advisory boards of biotechnology companies.
The new NIH funding (grant number R01-AR062173-01) will support Adamopoulos' research for four years.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, one of the National Institutes of Health, supports research, training and information dissemination related to diseases of bones, muscles, skin and autoimmunity -- all have major influences on the quality of people's lives and many disproportionately affect women and minorities. For more information, visit www.niams.nih.gov/
The UC Davis School of Medicine is among the nation's leading medical schools, recognized for its research and primary-care programs. The school offers fully accredited master's degree programs in public health and in informatics, and its combined M.D.-Ph.D. program is training the next generation of physician-scientists to conduct high-impact research and translate discoveries into better clinical care. Along with being a recognized leader in medical research, the school is committed to serving underserved communities and advancing rural health. For more information, visit medschool.ucdavis.edu.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) A rookie forward and a journeyman goalie have carried the Calgary Flames to an impressive start in the young NHL season.
Sean Monahan had a goal and an assist, and Joey MacDonald made 33 saves in the Flames' 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night.
``Obviously it's a great start,'' said Monahan, who has scored in three straight games and with five points is tied with Jiri Hudler for the team scoring lead. ``We haven't lost a game in regulation.
``It's been a lot of fun. I'm getting more comfortable every day.''
Calgary coach Bob Hartley praised the effort of the young center, who will turn 19 on Saturday.
``I sometimes pinch myself and wonder if I need to check his birth certificate, the poise he is showing for an 18-year-old kid,'' Hartley said. ``He is having fun, he is bringing passion, he is bringing excitement and he's learning. He is a pretty special kid.''
Sven Baertschi and Curtis Glencross also scored for Calgary (2-0-2). The last time the Flames earned at least one point in their first four games was in 2009 when they had a 4-0 start.
MacDonald made his third consecutive start. He backstopped Calgary to a 4-3 win at Columbus on Friday and helped the Flames salvage a point in a 5-4 overtime loss at home to Vancouver on Sunday.
``We stuck with it,'' said MacDonald, who played for the Boston Bruins, New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings before the Flames claimed him off waivers last season. ``It's a learning experience for the young guys to show them how important it is. They came out hard.''
P.K. Subban had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens (1-2), who hadn't played since a 4-1 home win over Philadelphia on Saturday.
``We weren't ready to play right from the start, including myself,'' Subban said. ``We can continue to say it's the beginning of the season and we're just getting things going, but we've got to come out better than that.
``We knew this was a hungry team, we knew they were a young team. They had some young players in the lineup and we've got to take advantage of that. I don't think we did a good enough job.''
Lars Ellar recorded his fourth goal and sixth point of the season for Montreal. Carey Price made 22 saves.
Both teams were 1 for 3 on the power play.
Despite being outshot 12-4 in the first period, the Flames took a 2-0 lead.
Monahan opened the scoring 9:09 in when he tapped in a rebound behind Price.
Monahan started the play with a behind-the-back pass to Lee Stempniak, who fired a shot that Price stopped with his right blocker. The puck bounced right to Monahan, who drove straight to the net after making the pass.
``That's always a good feeling,'' Monahan said. ``There's nowhere else to put it than in the back of the net. I jumped all over that, and I was pretty excited.''
Baertschi scored his first of the season with 1:27 remaining in the first when he tapped a cross-crease pass from Monahan behind a sprawling Price. Hudler helped set up the play by jarring the puck loose from defenseman Jarred Tinordi with a big hit behind the net.
Early in the second, MacDonald made a right pad stop on a shot shoveled his way by Danny Briere. At the other end of the ice, Price slid across to turn aside a shot by Glencross.
During a Montreal man advantage, MacDonald stopped Subban's point blast and then stacked his pads to deny back-to-back shots by Andrei Markov.
``It's just battling,'' MacDonald said. ``You never give up on the puck. It might not be the nicest style, but you've got to stop the puck. When your team sees those saves, it kind of gives them a little momentum. I think we kind of built off that.''
Glencross put Calgary ahead 3-0 when he tipped a point shot by Dennis Wideman past Price with 3:38 left in the second.
Just 84 seconds later, with Calgary captain Mark Giordano in the penalty box for tripping, Subban fired a point shot into the top corner to make it 3-1.
Ellar pulled Montreal within a goal 10:40 into the third with his fourth goal of the season. Subban let go a shot from the point that went wide, but it bounced off the boards and onto the stick of Ellar, who swatted the puck into a wide-open net.
The Canadiens pressed hard to tie it, but Subban took a cross-checking penalty with 1:49 remaining.
``We worked so hard in the third and in the second to bring ourselves into striking distance of tying the game up,'' Subban said. ``Right when we were about to turn the corner, you take that penalty.''
NOTES: Montreal forward Rene Bourque played in his 500th NHL game. Bourque started his career with Chicago and played 183 games with the Blackhawks. He spent 249 games with the Flames and the last 68 with the Canadiens. ... Hudler's next goal will be his 100th in the NHL. ... Stempniak and Hudler have posted at least one point in all four Flames games this season.

As enterprises implement plans to move their IT assets to the cloud, most are turning first to private cloud models, according to a new survey from research firm IDC.
Rather than commit to much-heralded public clouds that promise fully hosted, off-premise management of data center resources, enterprises are taking baby steps by releasing noncore applications to the public cloud, according to the IDC study, which surveyed 326 large companies in the U.S. and the U.K and was commissioned technology services company Infosys.

PENDLETON (AP) — The Oregon Army National Guard has won federal permission to use drones from the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport at Pendleton.
The East Oregonian reports the Federal Aviation Administration has approved the Guard's plan to fly unmanned aerial vehicles over a 100-square-mile area of mostly wheat fields north of the airport to train troops.
The Guard also flies drones from the nearby Boardman Bombing Range, and stations more than 20 troops in Pendleton for the training.
Local officials hope to get federal approval in a separate filing for permission to set up a testing area to attract drone manufacturers.

Peace of mind
By MegatronRx
from Toronto, ON
About Me Casual/ Recreational
This lock is virtually indestructible. I've owned it for over 3 years and my bike which is really nice and a target for thieves has never been stolen.
I've seen gash marks on the lock itself suggesting that thieves have attempted to pry it open to no avail.
It is expensive, but you can rest easy when you lock up your bike to this baby. It will last forever too. You'll go through all sorts of bikes in your life but this lock will probably outlast all of them.
Pros: Very easy to open and close, indestructible and gives you peace of mind. Lasts for years and years and years.
Cons: Very heavy, the carrying apparatus that comes with it is not very useful and breaks off after a while, forcing you to carry this in a back back.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lock Needs a Better Mounting Bracket
By David S. Hartley
from Plano, TX
About Me Avid Cyclist
Kryptonite is back in the game with re-designed locks that cannot be easily defeated. The New York lock, which is Kryptonite's flagship lock,is virtually undefeatable and indestructable. Although these are excellent virtues in a lock,they can also be detrimental as far as weight is concerned. The sheer weight causes a constant pull on the mounting bracket,which must be re-tightened constantly,or else it will slide down your frame,making carrying the lock elsewhere a burden, and this isn't the kind of weight you want to carry around! As soon as Kryptonite designs a better mounting bracket,this lock will have my blessings!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Apple Takes Credit For 'Uncovering' Its Patented Location 'Bug' That Isn't Really Tracking You, But Which It'll Fix
from the reality-distortion dept
As far as I can tell, Apple's key points are:
- Apple (not researchers, or tons of other people who have noted this "bug" for a year or so) "discovered" a bug with location data on the phone:
The reason the iPhone stores so much data is a bug we uncovered and plan to fix shortly
- There's no tracking going on. There's nothing to see here.
Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone. Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so.
- Even though there's no tracking and nothing to see here, it's still a bug which will be fixed.
- The reason people are concerned about this is because people are confused.
Oh, and did we mention that Apple has also applied for a patent on this particular "bug"?

Heartland Names 3 GMs to Oversee Towables
November 9, 2010 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
In a move designed to bolster its management structure, Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC today (Nov. 9) announced the appointment of three industry veterans as general managers for the company's portfolio of towable brands.
Offering a combined 46 years of experience in the RV sector, Mike Creech, Sean Ryan and Nick Eppert will head up three divisions for the Elkhart, Ind.-based builder, representing 14 travel trailer and fifth-wheel brands, according to a news release. The announcement follows Heartland's recent naming of Coley Brady as vice president of sales.
Creech, formerly director of travel trailer sales for Heartland, will be charged with overseeing the builder's four luxury fifth-wheel lines that include the Landmark, Bighorn, Big Country and Elk Ridge brands along with the North Trail lightweight laminated trailer series. The 39-year-old Osceola, Ind., native boast 12 years in the industry, previously serving as national sales manager for Monaco Coach Corp.'s McKenzie travel trailer division before joining Heartland four years ago.
"I look forward to the challenges and the opportunities with these new brands," Creech said. "As with all of Heartland's products, the mission is well-defined – make the product better, adapt to the marketplace, build what the consumer wants and, most importantly, listen to the dealer body."
Ryan, 38, has logged 17 years in the industry, the past 10 ½ years with Keystone RV Co. as a group general manager. He will be responsible for the direction of a cross-section of brands, including North Country Sundance and Greystone travel trailers and fifth-wheels, ultralight MPG and Edge trailers, Country Ridge destination trailers, and the Cyclone and Road Warrior toy hauler/SUTs.
"It's a pretty broad mix, but these are the same types of products that I've been involved with throughout my career," Ryan said. "One of the challenges is that many of the products are in the most competitive pockets of the market. Our objective is to distinguish the lines with identifiable, salable features and floorplans, and pricing that offers a great value. That's what the dealers are looking for, and that's what Heartland has been doing ever since they entered the marketplace."
Eppert will spearhead the revival of the iconic Prowler nameplate, which will debut at this month's National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky. The 40-year-old brings 17 years of industry experience, the last six as product manager for Keystone.
He noted that the new generation of Prowler towables would "return to the full-line approach," with travel trailers hitting three price points offering both wood-and-aluminum and laminated construction, along with two lines of mid-profile fifth-wheels featuring laminated fiberglass sidewalls.
"Prowler is the most popular towable brand of all times," Eppert noted. "The anticipation and expectation from dealers and retail customers is high. Our team is utilizing all our resources and energy to create exciting new floorplans, features and overall value at each price point. Unique eye appeal and innovative use of available space will also separate Prowler from current brands on the market."
He added, "Every dealer attending this year's Louisville show is invited to come see the new Prowler. They will not be disappointed."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
This is something I've been meaning to blog about for ages but it kept slipping my mind, sorry about that!
Wee Hyong Tok from the SSIS product team has built a slide deck that covers some of the deep secrets about SSIS2012 including:
The slide deck is available to view online at https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=BB8E1FF2CE0CD545!252&authkey=!AMFavRXK0aVq314.
As its a slide deck its not quite as good as hearing from the presenter himself however there's still some really useful information in here. If the internals of SSIS float your boat then click through and take a look (there are only 22 slides).

The Department of Philosophy is a pluralistic department that offers theoretical, historical, and thematic approaches to the enduring questions and the evolution of ideas. Overall, we emphasize two mutually enriching areas of inquiry: the history of philosophy and ethics (theoretical and applied). This combination allows us to put pressing moral and political issues into a rich intellectual and cultural perspective.
The department encourages an intense but informal culture of dialogue and fellowship. We hold regular guest lectures, panels, and colloquia. The undergraduate Philosophy Society meets weekly to discuss texts and ideas. We invite you to take a course or visit with us at one of our events.
- An undergraduate program in Philosophy
- An undergraduate interdisciplinary major in Politics, Philosophy, & Economics
- A graduate program in Administration of Higher Education
Experiential Learning
Philosophical dialogue and discussion are not limited to the classroom at Suffolk. We are home to a vibrant community of thinkers, with plenty of opportunities for students to get involved and interact with their professors.
Suffolk Philosophy Society
Discuss the nature of being and other philosophical questions over coffee with your fellow students and professors. The Philosophy Society gathers weekly to attend lectures, discuss readings, and host guest speakers, taking full advantage of both the Suffolk and Greater Boston philosophical communities. Members have the opportunity to make connections with their peers, professors, and other leading scholars in the field of philosophy.
Annual SymposiumEach year, seniors participate in the Philosophy Department's Annual Symposium, a lively dialogue and discussion of ideas. The format for the Symposium follows the same procedures as the Dialogues of Plato and involves a student delivering a speech on a philosophical idea, followed by responses from classmates. Themes for the Symposium are chosen in advance. Previous Symposium topics include The Good Life; Chaos, Order, Harmony; Truth, Illusion, and Reality; Aesthetics; and Self-knowledge.
The Symposium is a culmination of the study of Philosophy at Suffolk and takes place near the end of each spring semester. Participation in the Symposium is a requirement for all seniors, but some advanced junior philosophy majors may also take part in it. In addition to an oral presentation, senior students are required to prepare a three page written synopsis of their positions with references and footnotes.
Study Abroad
Philosophy undergraduate students have opportunities to study abroad, both through semester-long programs and study tours, which are offered periodically in conjunction with courses. Past study tours have traveled to the Czech Republic, Poland, and other European destinations. These tours are designed to provoke thoughtful discussion and reflection among students.

Housing Issues to Watch in 2013
Home prices finally hit a bottom in 2012, well ahead of many predictions that called for continued price drops this year.
Prices were up 6% from one year ago in October, according to CoreLogic, putting them on track for their best year since 2005. Housing starts, which hit a bottom three years ago, ramped up to their highest level in four years. Sales of new homes are running around 20% of last year's levels, while existing home sales are up around 10%. Continued declines in homes listed for sale—particularly foreclosures—explain much of the improving price picture.
So will 2013 be the year of recovery or relapse? Evidence points more strongly to a continued rebound, albeit one that still has considerable headwinds and that varies from one market to another. This week, we'll offer five areas of focus for 2013.
Don't fear the shadow. For years, housing analysts have warned that a glut of delinquent mortgages—a so-called "shadow" inventory of eventual foreclosures—would overwhelm housing markets. That hasn't happened.
On a national basis, the shadow inventory is still there, but it is slowly getting smaller. The number of homes that were 90 days or more past due or in foreclosure fell to around 3 million in October, down by more than 430,000 this year and nearly 1.3 million from the peak in 2010, according to Barclays Capital. Normally, there's a "shadow" of around 800,000, which means the excess shadow supply stands at around 2.2 million.
Banks have slowed down their foreclosure processes and while those could ramp up in 2013, they're unlikely to lead to a deluge of supply. Also, big declines in new construction over the past few years have pushed the current housing demand, however muted, towards absorbing the excess supply of foreclosed homes.
The shadow inventory is often discussed as a national phenomenon, but it isn't really national anymore. States where banks have struggled to meet court-administered foreclosure processes have a significantly higher share of unresolved bad debt: around 5.9% of mortgages are in foreclosure in those judicial states, compared with fewer than 2% in nonjudicial states, according to Lender Processing Services.
Many housing markets "will swallow what foreclosures come to the market whole because we're seeing inventory shortages develop, acutely," says Jeffrey Otteau, president of appraisal firm Otteau Valuation Group in East Brunswick, N.J.
In New Jersey, which has the second highest foreclosure rate in the country, the bigger problem is that many foreclosures are concentrated in certain communities, particularly inner-city and rural areas. "Those markets are going to take it on the chin," he says.

Tate had a nice steal that led to two, and Burrows and Schubert also recorded steals early. The Lady Dogs were great at driving it inside and drawing fouls. Schubert ended the half with a nice two and the ladies were up 22-13.To start the second half, Urquidi drives from the top of the key, and is fouled on the layup which is good, but her free throw comes up short. Schubert is then fouled on her shot after a steal and completed the three point play. Schubert, Burrows, and Tate all recorded steals that led to points for the Lady Dogs.
