COS women's squad earns GVC title with win at Redwoods
EUREKA, Calif - The College of the Siskiyous women's basketball team earned the Golden Valley Conference Championship with a win at the College of the Redwoods Thursday night in the regular season finale.
The 100-74 victory gave the Lady Eagles the GVC crown outright. COS also won the league title last season. The Lady Eagles led by 20 at the half, head coach Tom Powers said, and added that it was a "great win."
Shyanna Ashworth led Lady Eagle scorers with 29 points. Anna Cameron finished with 27 points and Hailey Wales had 24 points. Powers said that starting point guard Carrie Watson twisted her ankle but he expects her to be ready to play in next week's playoff game.
COS improved to 20-5 overall and 8-2 in the GVC. COS will now move on to the playoffs and take part in a first round game either next Friday or Saturday. Powers said they should find out their opponent on Monday. In the COS men's game, the Eagles ended the season with a 81-71 victory over COS to end the regular season 3-8 in the GVC and 8-17 overall.
Lady Bears down Biggs in home playoff game
MOUNT SHASTA - The Mount Shasta Lady Bears cruised to a 62-29 victory over Biggs in the second round of the Northern Section Division 5 playoffs Thursday night.
The Lady Bears led 16-4 after a quarter of play and 29-10 at the half as they earned a 33-point win.
Mount Shasta, the No. 3 seed, improved to 17-9 overall while Biggs ended the season 13-13. The Lady Bears were set to play Esparto on Wednesday but Esparto decided to forfeit the game to automatically give Mount Shasta the victory.
Now, the Lady Bears will face a Shasta Cascade League opponent on Tuesday in the semifinals. They will face the winner of tonight's game in Weed between the home team, the No. 2 seeded Lady Cougars, and the No. 10 seed, the Etna Lady Lions.

The oncoming cold I mentioned yesterday already seems to be outgoing, as my sore throat is abating, and it doesn't seem it's being replaced by any further symptoms. The worst of it as this point is that I'm constantly clearing my throat, which as George Costanza taught us is "a non-verbal implication of doubt." Hopefully I won't accidentally imply I suspect anyone of murder.

Making Quality Gates Effective
Despite these limitations, test suites are one of the most common and effective quality gates. The more you understand the benefits and blind spots of your test suites, the more you can compensate for their weaknesses. Many leaders in quality use a run-time error detection system while exercising their test suites. Run-time error detection systems are like the EKG the cardiologist uses. They monitor the application as it runs and detect defects that would otherwise go unnoticed during testing.

- 5 Reasons to Choose an Open Platform for Cloud
Test suites can consist of paper checklists that guide a human operator through the exercise of an application. However, it is more effective to automate test suites. Old-style applications without a GUI can be exercised in UNIX by piping various input data files to the application and using diff on the output. Generating input for GUI programs is far more difficult. One solution is to write an extension language for manipulating the application the way the GUI does, so that the test suite can drive the application using this language. Another strategy is to purchase a specialized record/playback/verify package that will record a user exercising the GUI, and later play the input sequence back while verifying that the same output is produced. Several such packages are on the market.
Quality gates are used traditionally at the end of development to verify correctness. Far more effective is to use quality gates throughout development. Quality rapidly improving at the end of development rarely happens. The problem is that if you change lots of code quickly (to fix many problems), you introduce more problems. Thus, the rate of quality improvement has an upper bound. In reality, you have only two choices: continuously apply the pressure of quality gates throughout development and meet your high quality goals, or wait until the end of development to get a modest surge in otherwise unacceptable quality.
The key to quality is erecting quality gates through which your software must pass. By teaching your organization to view software defects as quality-gate defects rather than code defects, you focus your organization on building strong gates. One of the best types of gates are automatic test suites. The difficulties in making test suites effective (lack of visibility, delay between cause and effect, working by accident) can be overcome, so do not let these limitations deter you. If you commit to building excellent tests, your software will reflect this commitment.

No more was heard of the 16th century author until the rediscovery of a novel featuring an eccentric character called Don Quixote rescued him from oblivion.
By then, nobody could remember where his grave was. Four centuries later, Spain intends to do the great man justice.
A team that will search for Cervantes's remains began exploratory work Monday and final conclusions — should the search succeed — will be known by the year's end. The estimated cost of the operation is 100,000 euros ($138,000).
A three-phase search will take place over some 200 square meters (240 sq. yards) at the Convent of the Barefoot Trinitarians in Madrid's historic Barrio de las Letras — or Literary Quarter.
When Cervantes moved to Spain's capital in 1606 he had already published the novel that was to change Spanish literature: "The Adventures of the Ingenious Nobleman Don Quixote of La Mancha."
Although his book enjoyed some success, it did not make him famous — and the author was better known in Spain as an ill-fated soldier.
Cervantes had been wounded in battle and spent years captive in Algiers. He had been seized by Turkish pirates who boarded the ship on which he was returning to Spain after fighting in a war against the Ottoman Empire.
The Trinitarian order negotiated his release and helped pay a ransom that ruined Cervantes' family.
Cervantes was compelled to live as an errand-runner for the convent to give thanks for his deliverance.
He lived in a neighborhood of narrow streets, small houses and taverns full of artists and hustlers, where wine flowed and tapas were served. Other authors of Spain's golden age of literature, such as Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega and Luis de Gongora, ignored him.
He was buried in 1616 on his death at the age of 68. Years later the chapel was expanded to its current — still modest — proportions.
According to Fernando Prado, the historian in charge of the project, just five people, including a child and Cervantes, are buried there.
"We know he is buried there," Prado said. "History teaches us that churches never throw bones away. They might relocate them under roofs and vaults if necessary, but no one would dare throw them into a common ossuary."
The first phase will consist of exploration using radar. Excavation will begin if bones are detected.
"We will clearly see if there is altered terrain that will give us clues," said radar operator Luis Avial.
Avial's report will be ready in a month.
Then the investigation turns to Spanish forensic anthropologist Francisco Etxeberria, who participated in the autopsy that confirmed the suicide of former Chilean president Salvador Allende.
Forensic identification will be the last — and possibly most delicate — part of the process. Any bones found may have been mixed up. Prado said that with no living Cervantes descendants, DNA analysis is unlikely to lead anywhere.
The investigation will refer to the author's portraits and his own stories, in which he relates that shortly before dying he only had six teeth.
But the most obvious marks will be the battle wounds that Cervantes sustained. In 1571 the writer was wounded in the Battle of Lepanto, which pitted Ottoman Turkish forces against the Holy League, led by Spain. Aboard the ship La Marquesa, Cervantes was hit with three musket shots, two in the chest and one in his hand.
He spent several months in a hospital in Sicily, but managed to recover.
Although historic texts often speak of the "one-armed man of Lepanto," doctors never amputated his limb. He did, however, completely lose its use.
Should the bones be found, they will be returned to the church.
"He will be re-buried there, but with a plaque to remember his name and who he is," said Prado.

Two Huskers Honored by Big Ten
Two student-athletes from the University of Nebraska – Katelyn White and Sean Fisher – have been chosen as the 2013 Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award recipients by the Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership. The award is an annual scholarship recognizing one male and one female Big Ten senior student-athlete pursuing a postgraduate degree for achievements in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities and leadership.
In recognition of the Big Ten's leadership in fully integrating athletics into the academic mission of its member institutions, the Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership initiated the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award in 2008. Each Big Ten institution was asked to nominate one male and one female student-athlete for 2013, with a $10,000 scholarship awarded to each winner.
The Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award is named for the former Big Ten Conference commissioner who served from 1971-89. While leading the Big Ten, Duke spent much of his time working to improve academic standards and graduation rates for student-athletes. The award is made possible by donations from local corporations and individuals supporting collegiate student-athletes. The Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership is comprised of the State of Indiana, City of Indianapolis, Indiana Sports Corporation, Pacers Sports & Entertainment, and Visit Indy.
White, a women's cross country and track and field runner, is completing her nutrition science degree at the University of Nebraska and expects to graduate in May. With a 4.0 GPA and numerous academic accolades, she intends to continue her education to become a physical therapist.
White has been recognized with multiple Academic All-Big Ten accolades and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Awards as well as U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Women's All-Academic Team honors. White is an elected member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
In addition to her commitment to academic excellence, White participates in numerous community service activities. She participated in an elementary walk-a-thon, spoke to children about wellness and nutrition, led groups at vacation bible school, and was a camp counselor.
Fisher is completing his business administration degree at the University of Nebraska and expects to graduate in May. With a 4.0 GPA and a number of academic honors, he intends to pursue his education in medical school.
Fisher, a football student-athlete, is a multiple recipient of Academic All-Big Ten honors and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Awards. He was also named to the Capital One Academic All-District and All-American teams. On the field, Fisher was named to the National All-Freshman Football Team in 2009.
Fisher extends his impact outside of academics and the football field through participating in a variety of community service activities. He gives of his time as a guest speaker to local elementary schools, special needs children, and patients at nearby hospitals. Fisher also read to elementary school students, participated in 5k fundraisers, and packaged meals for a distribution center to give to those in impoverished areas.
White and Fisher will be honored during the 42nd Annual Big Ten Football Kickoff Luncheon on Thursday, July 25, 2013 in Chicago.

It was not as spectacular a season in terms of wins and losses as Pratt High boys' basketball has enjoyed in recent years, going 7-15 on the year. But head coach David Swank rightfully points to the amount of improvement his Greenbacks made over the course of the campaign.
It was not as spectacular a season in terms of wins and losses as Pratt High boys' basketball has enjoyed in recent years, going 7-15 on the year. But head coach David Swank rightfully points to the amount of improvement his Greenbacks made over the course of the campaign.
"The biggest thing for this group was overall improvement," Swank pointed out. "For example, at Christmas we were only shooting 55% from the free throw line, but by the end of the year we had raised that to 65%."
Also, bear in mind that this group of mostly inexperienced hoopsters dropped their seven initial contests, getting off to a tough 0-7 start. From that point on, however, the Frogs played nearly .500 basketball— a 7-8 record down the stretch in itself showing that the team was getting better as the year progressed.
The Greenbacks will miss the contributions of its graduating seniors. Skylar Dean was named a unanimous 1st team all-CKL pick. He averaged 15.5 ppg as the Greenbacks offensive leader. Dean was also a KBCA academic all-state recipient.
Chase Hageman returned to the squad after sitting out his junior year with an injury. He received CKL honorable mention for his efforts. He led the Greenbacks on the glass with 6.7 rebounds per game and was 3rd in scoring average on the team with 9 ppg.
Sharpshooter Garret Smith knocked down 42 3s on the season, one in which he spent considerable time sidelined with injury. Thomas Mayberry as point guard contributed 62 assists to lead the Frogs and was second on the team with 32 steals.
"Each of those kids brought something special to the table: Skylar was our attacker and our leader; Chase developed into a consistent force on the boards for us; Garret could knock down the 3 point shot; and Thomas was a great defender and ball-handler," Coach Swank said in analyzing his departing seniors' complementary talents.
There were some high points along the way. The Frogs earned the 3rd place trophy at the St. John Midwinter Classic, the 5th consecutive year they have trophied. They also made it past the opening round of sub-state, again the 5th consecutive time they have pulled that off.
Signature wins included victories over Ness City and Sterling, squads that figured prominently in post-season activity.
Coach Swank may face a similar problem next year as he did this year in that most of his scoring is again graduating. One difference is that there are quite a few lettermen returning next year. Christian Kurz, Drew Dobbs, Josh Shumway, Spencer Sullivan, Shawn Ramos, Liam Kahmeyer and Adam Bartel should all return, and all got many minutes this season. Next year's group will be a lot more battle-tested than this year's crew was at the start of the season.
"A big key going forward will be to find people to step up and score," Swank said of next year's prospects. One promising sign for the future of the program is that the JVs went 14-6 on the year and the C team finished at 11-4.
Judged by the standard of improvement, the 2012-13 boys' basketball season at PHS was a success. @NeilD_Tribune

Have had this mag for a while now but just joined the forums so figured I'd put it up. Stock RT Pro w/ X-valve and Lvl 10. Questions, thoughts and opinions more than welcome.
finally, its done, at least until I get my Toxic body from Mongoose. Then be able to afford to match all the silver parts, and get my cheater to fit in the UMF. Ok, that doesnt sound very done, BUT its playable now thanks to BigWooly and his sear.
Looking to put a pnuematic kit in it.
It started life as this: $65 dollars at the local pawn shop.
Diggin the y with the reverse 15* asa. You do realize you have replaced every part of that marker, thus making it a completely different marker than when you bought it lol.Originally Posted by nuevara

hello all! ive been playing pb for about 10 years off and on. nothing seriouse just fun with friends. I own an icon led,view loader, (see, nothing high end).
i was in a pawnshop last week and saw a pb marker for 99 bucks. so we haggled a lil and now i am a proud owner of an auto mag.gonna try to post these pics of it because to tell you all the truth i don't even know what i have. i had never even heard of an auto mag. Oh, i finally got the guy down to 25 bucks! whatadeal!....i hope...so if any of you auto mag eficianadoes could help a po boy out and give me some feedback it would be much apreciated.
Here's my collection... as of a few months ago actually. I've shuffled some of the parts around a bit. That's one of the wonderful things about these markers. Everything is interchangeable.
The one in the lower left is the wife's the other three are mine.

Wankaego, Star of Chad Johnson's Sex Tape, Twerk Video is a Sight to Behold
Wankaego has been silent about the fact she was revealed as the star of Chad Johnson's sex tape (you can watch video here) and there is a good reason for that. Wankaego is an aspiring rapper and is trying to put the whole video vixen life behind her, while she tries to pursue her rap career.
I can dig that, I am sure she doesn't want to just be known as the woman in the Chad Johnson sex tape or the girl who Twerks for World Star (Videos Below).
My advice though to Ms. Wankaego is to use this opportunity to enhance her rap career. She might never get another opportunity to have this type of National Spotlight, so better to embrace it than to be salty about it.
It worked for Kim Kardashian.
You can listen to Wankaego spit some bars here.

So once upon a time, this fellow invented a method for recording sound. He called his apparatus a phonograph, and it recorded onto a cylinder of wax. He thought about using a disc, but for his purposes, a cylinder was better.
See, his purposes involved getting one of these in every home. Why would anybody want a sound recording device at home? So as to record family members, friends, and any celebrities who wandered close enough to the contraption to be induced to say a few words. Some of his advisors suggested that people might buy pre-recorded cylinders of music or jokes, and he allowed as how they might, at that. But the MAIN reason a person would buy a phonograph was to make permanent records (remember this word; it features in the plot) of beloved voices. Home recording on a disc was complex, but a cylinder made the process easier. (This has to do with lateral recording vs. hill-and-dale recording, and, really, there's only so much space in this blog. Take his word for it.)
Mr. Edison's vision (yes, it was good old Tom, as you knew at the outset) was that the phonograph would sit in the parlor. The Victorian parlor was filled with entertainments for passing time on a Sunday afternoon. Photographs of one's loved ones and/or heroes could be browsed in the family photograph album. Friends and relatives wrote silly jokes or poems over their autographs in the family autograph album. Tom felt that you might spend an afternoon listening to greetings from friends recorded via the phonograph: these recordings naturally sitting in the family phonograph album.
And that, dear children, is why we call something that involves several recordings an "album". Isn't that fascinating? Well, not every hit is a home run. What's that, Cyril? Why is a record with two songs on it called a single? I hate to break this to you, Cyril, but if you remember a record with two songs on it, you're a little too old to be in our class. Don't slam the door on your way out.
Yes, it's the time of year when I tear myself away from all those books about The Girl Who Kicked The Cat Who, and start pricing records for a couple of hours each day. It's a restful occupation, and very refreshing. In the world of books, I am confronted each day by books published in 2012, or 2013, or other ridiculous numbers. But I almost never find LPs released in 2012 when I'm locked away in the vinyl vault. In fact, virtually every record I priced yesterday was older than I am.
I can see it's going to be another banner year for the record hunter. Two-thirds of the records I saw yesterday were also records I had never heard of, not even suspected. Did you know there was a service you could subscribe to which would send you a full-length LP of discussions of religious topics every month (the Conference-a-Month Club)? Have you ever run into a series of albums called The Franciscan Recordings? I have one album of press conferences from the election of Pope Paul VI, and there is a sound effects record which uses one side of the record just for street sounds in Rome. (The other is street sounds in Madrid; I wonder if you could digitize these and listen to both sides at the same time, to compare.)
Now, not every collection this year came in from a convent, so we will have the requisite number of copies of the Grand Canyon Suite, the New World Symphony, and Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. We will certainly have Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream, the soundtrack of West Side Story, and Carole King's Tapestry.
But a whole album of songs dedicated to the town in Poland where John Paul II was born? Not even Thomas Edison could have guessed we'd be selling that.

Weird Al Yankovic is No. 1.
For the first time in a career that spans nearly 35 years, Yankovic has a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with "Mandatory Fun." Released July 15 (and pretty much played by my kids 24/7 ever since), the album outsold Jason Mraz's "Yes" to grab the top spot, selling approximately 80,000 copies.
In a brilliant bit of marketing, Yankovic seized the Internet by the throat last week, releasing a new video for various songs on the album for eight straight days. Especially popular was/is "Tacky," a takeoff on Pharrell's "Happy," starring people like Jack Black and Margaret Cho, and "Word Crimes," which spoofs Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" by delighting grammar nerds everywhere.
The Wrap reports Yankovic has said this will be his last album, as he prefers online distribution. What a way to go out.

21st in Run as percent of plays called
12th in Pass as percent of plays called
40.27 percent of plays called were RUN
59.23 percent of plays called were PASS
The PASS was a higher percent of our offense, than at any point in the last 10 years
You know those handful of series that stand out in your mind, and frustrate you because we ran on 1st and 2nd down.... well, those handful of series do not constitute an entire offense. You are looking at a fraction of a fraction of a percent of play calls.
The Steelers called more PASS plays as a percent of plays called than the Green Bay Packers, Denver Bronocos, New England Patriots, New York Giants.
The only playoff team that threw the ball more often than the Steelers... was Atlanta
If you prorate Roethlisbergers Pass Plays over the time he missed (575 attempts), he would've thrown the 8th most passes in the league... only a few behind Peyton (583), and a few ahead of Rodgers (552)
You are wrong if you think any of the following :
- The Steelers were a run first team in 2012
- The Steelers emphasized the run over the pass in 2012
- Haley turned the Steelers into a run first team
This isn't a debate. You can either accept the facts, or bury your head back in your false belief.

The Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve needs volunteers for the annual Delaware Bay-wide horseshoe crab spawning survey being conducted in May and June on Ted Harvey Wildlife Area, Kitts Hummock and North Bowers beaches in Kent County.
The Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve needs volunteers for the annual Delaware Bay-wide horseshoe crab spawning survey being conducted in May and June on Ted Harvey Wildlife Area, Kitts Hummock and North Bowers beaches in Kent County.
The reserve conducts horseshoe crab counts each year as part of its mission to establish, protect, and manage natural estuarine habitats for research, education and coastal stewardship, according to state officials.
"The horseshoe crab population is very important to humans as well as migratory shore birds," said Jennifer Holmes, education coordinator for the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve. "In terms of migratory birds, the eggs are a food source for the shore birds migrating north and that's a really good food source to fuel their flight to their breeding grounds.
"As for the benefit to humans, everyone talks about the horseshoe crab blood," Holmes said. "It can detect bad bacteria that can cause pretty serious illnesses."
For example, a chemical in horseshoe crab blood is used to test syringes for bad bacteria that can cause serious infections, she said. If the batch of syringes test negative, they are good to go.
Horseshoe crab blood turns blue when it hit the air because it is copper-based whereas iron-based human blood turns red when it hits the air, Holmes added.
The Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve was established in 1993 as a cooperative program between the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. DNREC's Division of Soil and Water Conservation administers DNERR, which has two main components, the St. Jones Reserve in Dover and the Blackbird Creek Reserve in Townsend.
The horseshoe crab survey is part of DNREC's Bayshore Initiative that aims to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat, increase volunteer participation in habitat stewardship projects, enhance low-impact outdoor recreation and ecotourism opportunities and promote environmentally compatible economic development.
The Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve has scheduled 12 survey nights at three beaches in Kent County, Holmes said.
"We'd like to have three to four people per beach per night," she said. "They don't need any special qualifications. What we do ask is that they attend a special training."
Among other things, training sessions will teach volunteers how to properly record data and how to distinguish between male and female horseshoe crabs.
Many beaches along the Delaware Bay are being surveyed through other coordinators, she said. The information collected each spring during the annual surveys has been used to monitor changes in the numbers of spawning crabs in the Bay and in helping compile fisheries management data.
WHO Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve
WHAT Training for annual horseshoe crab count
WHEN 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21 & 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 6
WHERE St. Jones Reserve, 818 Kitts Hummock Road, Dover, DE.
WHY DNERR is scheduled to host two volunteer training sessions because all new volunteers are required to attend one of the two sessions, and Past participants are also strongly encouraged to attend one of the two sessions. Volunteers must be at least 7 years old to participate in the survey; volunteers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
CONTACT Register for the training online by visiting, http://de.gov/dnerrhscsurvey. For more information on horseshoe crab monitoring or volunteering at DNERR, contact Jennifer Holmes at (302) 739-6377 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

WESTMINSTER -- A Shirley man was arrested on a drunk-driving charge early Saturday morning after he was stopped for a marked-lanes violation on Route 2, according to Trooper John Daigle.
Gabriel Garbarz, 55, of 80 Townsend Road, is charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and a marked-lanes violation.
According to Daigle, Garbarz was traveling on Route 2 east just west of Exit 24 around 1:40 a.m. when the 2011 Ford 150 pickup truck he was driving was stopped by Trooper Blake Bearden for a marked-lanes violation.
Bearden subsequently placed Garbarz under arrest for allegedly operating under the influence of alcohol, Daigle said.

Proposed ordinance passed to city's Planning & Zoning Commission
After more than two years of debate, public forums and two surveys with low returns, the Kirksville Historic Preservation Commission declined to advance the proposed ordinance that would govern the appearance and construction of new businesses in the downtown area citing a lack of clear support or opposition.
The commission had to look no further than the sixth question on its recently completed downtown business owner survey, where half of the respondents were in favor of some sort of building design regulation and half were opposed to any such ordinance.
Beyond that split vote, the commission also lamented the fact that out of 134 surveys sent to downtown area property owners, the city received only 38 responses.
"It was a pretty disappointing response that we got," said Codes and Planning Director Brad Selby.
The second series of surveys followed an even lower response to a survey effort conducted by the Kirksville Downtown Improvement Committee in 2012. In that survey, the city received about eight responses.
"To say we have a mandate and say, 'Go forward,' is a stretch to me," Selby said.
The commission agreed with Selby and approved allowing the Planning and Zoning Commission review the responses and follow in its lead. Planning and Zoning meets Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. in City Hall.
The lackluster reaction and middling support for the proposed downtown design guidelines is the end-result of more than two years of effort on KHPC's part. The group began discussing crafting an ordinance that would mandate some level of design continuity in the downtown area in October 2010 after being instructed by the City Council to examine the issue during the Downtown Revitalization and Economic Assistance for Missouri Community (DREAM) initiative.
But the effort came to a halt in April 2011 when Planning and Zoning refused to hold a public hearing on the ordinance, citing a belief the ordinance created an illegal historic district.
In response, KHPC then crafted the proposed ordinance as it was attached to the downtown business owners' surveys. It calls for any new construction or expansion of existing buildings that increases the foot print area to be "sympathetic" and "complementary" to downtown historic styles.
In addition to the split verdict on whether people were in favor of the proposed ordinance, the survey results showed about 10 percent of respondents believed the city was not doing enough to support the downtown while about 40 percent believed the city was doing too much with the guidelines and 40 percent believed the city was conducting downtown business properly.
"It seems to me if you don't have the majority, you don't [move forward]," Selby said. "And it doesn't appear you have the support."
KHPC Chair Ken Shook said he was heartened by the fact half of the respondents were in favor of the proposed ordinance but noted that from the beginning of the process the commission has attempted to not force the changes.
"Let's wait for Planning and Zoning and see what they think the next step should be," Shook said. "But I do hope we can generate more support."

Great news! NASTY are doing something NICENovember 26, 2008 at 11:59 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Tags: anti-TNF, appeal, decision, Final Appraisal Document, MP, NHS, NICE, NRAS, RA, Rheumatoid arthritis, severe RA, treatment
NRAS has just announced that NICE, the so called 'National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence' and unaffectionately known as NASTY, which is in fact a national organisation for making sure expensive drugs don't get paid for on the National Health Service, is re-opening its enquiry into whether a patient should be allowed to try another anti-TNF drug if the first fails to work.
Admittedly this is not a total reversal of their previous Final Appraisal Document, which indicated that patients should not be allowed to try another anti-TNF if the first failed, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that a) patients who 'failed' on one anti-TNF frequently had success with another, as these drugs are all quite differnet and work in different ways to each other and b) a patient who had failed on this last line of treatment was likely to already be suffering from severe RA (Because in this country you can't have an anti-TNF at all on the NHS unless your RA is severe, even though evidence suggests that the earlier you treat with an anti-TNF, the more succesful you are).
The fact that NICE have 'backed down' to the extent of even revisiting this is great news though, and it proves that they are forced to listen when we all stand up and shout! Thanks to NRAS and all the other organisations who appealed against the Final Appraisal Document. No thanks to my MP, who did at least stir himself to write a letter to the Minister for Health but then failed to understand her response and sent me a useless letter saying something like 'It's OK – this hasn't actually been decided yet'.

A state trooper tasered a Seaford man accused of dealing heroin Thursday, after the man reportedly attempted to run away from a pat-down search.
A state trooper tasered a Seaford man accused of dealing heroin Thursday, after the man reportedly attempted to run away from a pat-down search.
The incident began just before 6 p.m. when 26-year-old Ryan E. West's westbound Pontiac Bonneville crossed the center line on Concord Road, east of Seaford, nearly striking a trooper's eastbound patrol vehicle, according to Delaware State Police spokesman Cpl. Gary Fournier.
The trooper made a U-turn and stopped West's car on Haven Drive.
West reportedly began behaving erratically while trying to locate paperwork for the vehicle, prompting the trooper to order him out of the car.
West appeared to be hiding something in his pockets and immediately fled on foot when the trooper attempted to conduct a pat-down search, Fournier said.
West, who kept his hands in his pockets, fell down a short distance away, at which point the trooper attempted to subdue him with a stun gun, Fournier said.
West reportedly continue to resist until being taken into custody.
He later was found to be in possession of 22 bags of heroin, totaling 0.55 grams, and more than $1,180 in suspected drug proceeds, Fournier said.
West is charged with possession with intent to deliver heroin, resisting arrest, driving under the influence of drugs, driving on a suspended or revoked license, no proof of insurance or registration, possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to maintain lane.
He is being held at the Sussex Correctional Center in Georgetown on a $8,150 second bond.

Starting on Thursday, Oct. 3, "From Wunderkammer to the Modern Museum, 1606 – 1884" will be on display at Grinnell College's Faulconer Gallery. The exhibition presents almost 100 rare and beautiful books drawn from the collection of Florence Fearrington, a former trustee of Grinnell College.
Modern museums and art galleries have their origins in late Renaissance private collections of artifacts gathered for study and admiration. These collections, or "wunderkammers," were the work of scholars, kings and priests, each driven to gather pieces of the world and fashion a personally coherent whole. "From Wunderkammer to the Modern Museum" documents the fascinating intersection of science and art in these collections, and explores the shift from private spaces to public institutions.
The exhibition at Faulconer Gallery is an edited version of the 2012 exhibition "Rooms of Wonder: From Wunderkammer to Museum 1599-1899," presented at the Grolier Club in New York. Lesley Wright, director of the Faulconer Gallery and lecturer in art, explains, "The 93 works assembled for the Faulconer's exhibition shed light on the beginnings of systematic collections as a part of the early modern explosion of knowledge. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of cabinets of curiosities (or Wunderkammers), this exhibition is ideal for a college museum."

When football season is in full swing, college campuses around the country come alive with school colors and alumni. Even some high schools around the state are getting in on the tailgating scene before their games.
These parking lot picnics are synonymous with good food, good friends and good times. A quick glance across any parking lot near the sports stadium will find smoke billowing from grills and smokers and folding tables laden with all kinds of tantalizing tailgate treats.
As much fun as this can be, these get-togethers also can have the potential for serious foodborne illnesses such as E. coli or salmonellosis if you do not follow safe food handling practices, said Barbara Brown, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension food specialist.
"Just as you follow food safety practices in your own home, the same must be done for these outdoor food fests," Brown said. "Bacteria are most often spread when proper hand-washing techniques are not used, when uncooked foods are allowed to cross contaminate foods that are ready to eat, when needed end-point temperatures are not met and when hot foods are not kept hot and cold foods are not kept cold. These issues can be tricky when you're setting up your party in a parking lot."
Washing hands is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of disease-causing bacteria. Hands should be washed with soap and water before handling food and before handling a different food. Keep in mind hand gels kill the bacteria but they do not remove dirt and dead bacteria.
A hand washing site can be set up at any tailgate party by placing water in an unplugged coffee urn or large insulated drink container with a spigot. Be sure to include soap, paper towels and a container to catch the waste water.
Perishable foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, sandwiches and salads must be kept on ice or in a refrigerator. These foods should not be kept at temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for more than two hours.
"Although Oklahoma has experienced a milder-than-normal summer, the temperature will still be warm, especially the first few games of the season. If the outdoor temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, reduce that amount of time to just one hour," she said. "Once foods are cooked, they should be kept at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer with some type of heat source until they are served or refrigerated."
Pack cold food with plenty of ice or frozen gel packs. Try to avoid cross-contamination by wrapping foods well and storing foods that require cooking separately from ready-to-eat foods.
Another trick to help keep foods cool is to cover coolers with blankets and keep them in the shade to help hold in the cold temperature.
For those tailgaters who opt for takeout foods such as fried chicken, make sure it is eaten within two hours of being picked up. Another option is to purchase the food ahead of time. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator and then store it in a cooler when you take it to your tailgate party.
Cover all food with plastic wrap, aluminum foil or lids, or keep foods and supplies in their original packaging to prevent contamination.
Tailgaters also should make sure garbage cans with plastic liners and lids are available.
"Once the game is over, take all your tailgating equipment home to clean it," Brown said. "Be sure to clean the containers in which you store your equipment. This will help ensure a victory at your next tailgate party."

Bring it on thats what I say! We also need to get a couple of Manning picks.
Peyton Manning vs.Kansas City Chiefs: Why the Bye Week's Timing is Perfect
It's no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs are 3-0 going into their biggest challenge of the seasonPeyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning has a history of carving up young defenses by picking out the most vulnerable and inexperienced players in the unit and exploiting them by keying in on them for the entire game.
The Chiefs have a lineup loaded with these types of players. To the naked eye, this may seem like Peyton's dream matchup. That's good news for the Chiefs going into this contest.
While the Colts are going into a tough division matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, the Chiefs get the week off to do nothing but focus on beating the Colts in Week 5 and getting to 4-0. Romeo Crennel has had Manning's number for most of Manning's career. During Romeo's stint as the defensive coordinator in New England, his defenses owned Manning.
Peyton never really could figure out Romeo's defensive schemes. No other defense has ever frustrated Manning quite like that Patriots defense did. Chiefs LB Mike Vrabel was also a key contributor in that New England defense. Now Romeo and Vrabel get two full weeks to gameplan for the Colts.
While Vrabel may no longer possess the physical tools to reek the havoc on the Colts that he once did, he has more than enough knowledge to teach the Chiefs talented younger LBs just how to neutralize the Colt's offensive attack. The Chiefs have a speedy, aggressive defense that has proven to be effective at getting to opposing QBs this season.
Tamba Hali and Glenn Dorsey will have to play big rolls in this game if the Chiefs are to pull off the upset. They'll need to be effective getting pressure on Peyton so that LBs Derrick Johnson and Vrabel will be free to cover the middle on short pass plays and keep Colts RB Joseph Addai to minimal gains.
Peyton historically has the trouble when he's pressured. If the Chiefs can get to him early and set the tone by trolling the Colts backfield, the Colts will have a long day of watching Peyton's passes sail out of bounds. Crennel is great at disguising blitz packages to keep his opponents guessing, which will be key in this game.
The Colts are one of the worst teams at running the ball in the NFL, making them one-dimensional right off the bat. This does half of the Chiefs defense's work for them. If they don't have to make the Colts one-dimensional, they can focus on the one dimension that the Colts do well, passing
As long as the Chiefs front seven does their job well, rookie safety Eric Berry will be able to focus more on coverage resulting in him not getting burnt on big plays as easily as he has so far this year. With Berry and CB Brandon Flowers able to put the majority of their focus on the Colts' Lego board of wide receivers, Peyton should have a hard time finding anything deep.
The Chiefs' offensive responsibilities are far less complex. They need to run, run, pass, and run some more. RBs Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles are tops in the league in yards per game right now. The Chiefs are getting 160 yards per game, almost exclusively from these two backs.
They are the leagues best one-two punch from the backfield. If they can get going downhill from the start of the game, play action passes will keep the Colts' pass-rush at bay. DE Dwight Freeney is one of the leagues best pass-rushers, and MLB Gary Brackett is equally as effective in that department.
If those two have to focus on the two-headed monster that is the Kansas City backfield, Chiefs QB Matt Cassel should be able to get some breathing room in the pocket. He'll be able to find his favorite target, rookie TE Tony Moeaki, over the middle to set up WR Dwayne Bowe deep in one on one coverage a couple of times throughout the game.
Bowe will have to be sure-handed in Week 5 something he hasn't always beenfor the Chiefs to come out on top. Also, it wouldn't hurt for the big play dynamo that we know as Dexter McCluster to work a little magic as only he can with a big play or two.
In the return game, Javier Arenas needs to spend some time practicing the art of the fair catch during the team's bye week. He is as risky as he is explosive. He has been rung up more than a handful of times already this year. If Arenas doesn't start doing a better job of taking care of the ball, it will eventually result in a costly turnover at a key time somewhere down the road.
The Chiefs will need to play mistake-free football if they plan to beat the Colts, but they have an extra week to figure out how to do that. The Chiefs are on a roll right now, and they are probably on an emotional high. That could lead to a big let-down if they had to ride it right into a Week 4 matchup with the Colts.
Luckily for them, they won't have to do that. The extra week will give head coach Todd Haley, offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel the luxury of bringing this young, hot team back down to Earth in time for their next game.
Also, Charlie Weis is recovering from emergency gall bladder surgery, and gets an extra week to heal. The bye week means that he won't miss the game against his rival ColtsWeis was the offensive coordinator opposite Crennel on the Patriots Super Bowl winning staff.
I wish Charlie a speedy and complication-free recovery, and not just from a fan's viewpoint. Weis put off the surgery so that he could coach in the Week 3 win against the San Francisco 49ers. He's a real "trooper," and a big part of the Chiefs' recent success.
All of the pieces are in place for the Chiefs to successfully get a win in Indianapolis. All that's left is to play the game. Study hard, prepare well, and get some rest young Chiefsyou'll need to for this one.
Chiefs fans haven't forgotten who the team is that knocked the out of the playoffs in their last two playoff appearances. Hopefully the Chiefs can get a little redemption in Week 5. I feel it is necessary to give a prediction for this game's outcome for it to truly be a complete preview.
Chiefs 24, Colts 20
However, regardless of how this contest turns out, this game will mark the first time since 2005 that the majority of Chiefs fans can truly say for a game of this magnitude the following statement:
We are ready for some football.

i only wish the colts won this week then they may have looked past the CHIEFS now they will be playing hard desperate for the win. we will have to play our best to beat these guys. the colts D has been exposed as very weak against the run and that IS what the CHIEFS do best so if we can pound the rock down their throats all game then manning can't score from the bench. i don't think we can get good pressure in base D we will need to effectively blitz.
maybe the colts lost cause they spent too much time worrying about us, and got beat??? :)

Victoria Ann Marut now faces charge of stealing in addition to forgery.
An additional felony charge of stealing has been filed against the Truman State student already facing allegations of forgery for faking she had terminal cancer.
Victoria Ann Marut, 22, was initially charged with a class C felony of forgery in November after it was discovered she had fabricated a letter from a doctor on Boone County Hospital letterhead to further her fictitious story. Marut had led friends, teachers and colleagues to believe she was undergoing treatments for terminal cancer for several months while attending Truman and interning at the Kirksville Primary School.
The additional charge was filed Wednesday and alleges that as a result of her hoax, Marut received gifts and benefits and stole other items, all totaling $848. The items included a black human hair wig, a blue/black shopping bag and, several caps and hats. She also took three disposable razors from the home of a person with whom she was staying.
According to the filing, Marut admitted to receiving these items from the victims because they believed she had cancer.
The initial police report states on Nov. 5, Kirksville Primary School Principal Tricia Reger contacted Peter Kelly, professor of education at Truman State, regarding inconsistencies in Marut's story about her cancer treatment and a belief she was being deceptive with Primary School staff, with whom she was interning.
Kelly required Marut to obtain documentation from a doctor regarding her condition and ability to complete tasks as required by her internship. Marut "reiterated that she was diagnosed as having cancer and was receiving treatment," the report says, but she agreed and provided a letter dated Nov. 5, 2012, on Boone County Hospital letterhead. The document contained information regarding her cancer diagnosis, treatment plan and conditions under which she could continue the internship program. The letter was signed by Dr. Michael Trendle.
Kelly reviewed the letter with other Truman State personnel in the education department and all believed it to be authentic. After explaining to this Reger, she suggested Kelly contact Dr. Trendle for verification.
On Nov. 7, Dr. Trendle stated in a letter to Kelly that he "can unequivocally confirm this letter is a forgery. Victoria Marut has not ever been a patient at Missouri Cancer Associates, George Rea Cancer Center or Boone Hospital Center. In addition, I can confirm that the signature is a forgery."
When confronted with the results of the investigation, Marut reportedly told authorities she did not have cancer, nor was she in treatment, and she had made the letterhead on a computer.
Marut's alleged elaborate scam even included shaving her head to have people believe she'd lost her hair while undergoing treatments. In a showing of support, Kirksville teachers and others supported Marut with various gifts including meals and cash.

BOULDER -- Residents of Boulder County represented by the District O seat on the Regional Transportation District board will get the chance Monday to quiz the candidates for that post about the services the transit agency provides and any improvements those candidates would like to see.
The five semifinalists for the position -- Kai Abelkis of Niwot, Spense Havlick of Boulder, Susan Osborne of Bolder, Charles Sisk of Louisville and Mary Young of Boulder -- will appear at a Monday night public forum hosted by the Boulder County commissioners.
The commissioners will be appointing one of the five to fill an seat being vacated by John Tayer, who's resigning from the RTD board. The person appointed can serve at least through November 2014, when the District O seat will be up for election.
The forum is set for 5 p.m. Monday in the commissioners' Boulder County Courthouse third-floor hearing room, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder.
Each of the five applicants for the District O seat will be given five minutes to tell why he or she is interested in and qualified for serving on the RTD board. After each applicant's presentation, the forum audience will be given 15 minutes to question that candidate.
Boulder County commissioners will attend the forum, but don't plan on asking their own questions, according to the commissioners' staff. Instead, the commissioners may narrow the field further and interview the remaining finalists before casting an official Feb. 5 vote.
The forum will be webcast -- at http://bouldercounty.org/gov/meetings/pages/hearings.aspx -- to let people who can't attend it watch.
The commissioners also are inviting people's written observations about the RTD board applicants. Comment cards will be available at Monday's forum. People can email comments to Michelle Krezek, the commissioners' deputy, at firstname.lastname@example.com. People should write "RTD Comments" in the email's subject line and submit them by 7 p.m. Tuesday.
The RTD's District O board post represents an area that includes Boulder, Louisville, Superior, Lyons, Hygiene, Niwot and Gunbarrel, as well as parts of the city of Longmont lying southwest of Mountain View Avenue and Hover Street.
John Fryar can be reached at 303-684-5211 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am at RC Excitement in Fitchburg, MA for the JConcepts Fall Indoor Nationals. There are 296 entries for this event this year. Two Qualifiers are being run Saturday and on Sunday there will be another round of qualifying with the mains right after.
The track layout is fast and on the easy side until you hit the dreaded jump section in the middle. Some guys jump all five while others double double single it. The dirt is hard packed and holding up very well. The guys here are running a great race; there haven't been any issues. Some pro drivers such as TLR's Dustan Evans, JConcepts' Jason Ruona and Team Associated's Brent Thielke are in attendance to help out the drivers and put on a good show for the crowd.
It's Sunday and the last round of qualifying is happening now. Some guys have dialed in their cars and trucks but the dreaded jump in the middle is still tripping up the best of them. The track is starting to grove up and the dirt is holding up very well. After round three the mains will be set up and lots of prizes will be given away.
The A mains are happening now and there have been a few great races so far. In the 2WD mod race TLR's Dustin Evans put on an incredible show with his 22T and really impressed the crowd.
In the 4WD short course mod main it was the Dustin show again. He started at the front of the pack and they never had a chance as he pulled away from the field. In 4WD mod Team Associated's Brent Thielke dominated and took the win.

While this information was accurate at the time this post was published, these cards' offers and perks may have expired or changed over time. Visit our reviews of the best credit cards to find the right card for your needs.
If you are looking to make a large purchase or cut down on interest charges on your credit card balances, a credit card that offers a 0% intro APR can be a lifesaver. In order to make sure you have the most time to pay off your balance, it's important to find a credit card that has the longest 0% intro APR. Not sure where to look or which credit cards offer the longest intro APRs? We've put together a little list of the best cards to help you out:
Longest 0% Intro APR at 21 Months: Citi Simplicity Card
The Citi Simplicity Card gives you the longest 0% intro APR at 21 months, which means a year and a half with no interest on purchases or balance transfers. As an added bonus, the Citi Simplicity Card also doesn't charge late fees. The card also doesn't charge an annual fee and will not raise your APR if you pay late. This is the perfect card for anyone who is tired of paying extra fees and interest.
The Citi Diamond Preferred Card also offers a 0% intro APR for 21 months on both purchases and balance transfers, as well as no annual fee. You can also earn Citi Easy Deals Points for any purchases you make with your card. Redeem your points for great online deals on name-brand merchandise, gift cards and even local deals.
Another good option is the Discover it Balance Transfer card. It offers a 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 18 months, although the 0% intro APR for purchases is only 6 months. You also get 5% cash back rewards (up to $1,500 in purchases) in categories that rotate quarterly and 1% cash back on all other purchases. There is no annual fee, and you get your free FICO® Score on the card's monthly statement.
Best for Rewards: Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express
If you want a long 0% intro APR combined with great cash back rewards, check out the Blue Cash Preferred Card from American Express (a NextAdvisor advertiser). Not only do you get 6% cash back at supermarkets (up to $6,000 in purchases), 3% on gas and at department stores and 1% on everything else. Cardholders also get a $150 bonus (redeemed as statement credit) after spending $1,000 in first 3 months. The only downside is that the card comes with a $95 annual fee. Those looking for a fee-less card with comparable rewards will want to look into the Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express.
If American Express isn't your speed, check out the Chase Freedom card. It not only comes with a 0% intro APR for 15 months, but also gives you 5% back in rotating categories and 1% cash back on all your other purchases. You also get $150 cash back when you spend $500 within the first three months of card membership. It also has no annual fee.
Best for Balance Transfers: Chase Slate
Chase Slate offers a 0% intro APR for 15 months on both purchases and balance transfers. The beauty of the Chase Slate card is that it doesn't charge a balance transfer fee within the first 60 days. Most credit cards charge around 3% of the balance for transfers, which can get expensive. The Chase Slate card also doesn't charge you an annual fee, so you can complete a balance transfer without being charged any extra fees or interest.

A buddy and I have made a video of a mech mag that we made that is walkable. Neither of us are super fast shooters so the speed is nowhere nicads hair trigger, but it is still cool. We are going to get another buddy this weekend who is pretty quick on the trigger and shoot another video.
We were wondering if we could get someone on AO to host the current video for us as we don't have the bandwidth capabilites to host it.

Despite the recent interest in adopting HTML5's video tag, there is still one major problem: there is no mandated standard video codec for the video tag. The two main contestants are the proprietary and patended h264, and the open and free Theora. In a comment on an LWN.net article about this problematic situation, LWN reader Trelane posted an email exchange he had with MPEG-LA, which should further cement Theora as the obvious choice.
