USFSP Professor Awarded Princeton Fellowship
USFSP Psychology professor Mark Durand, Ph.D., traveled to Princeton last week as a recipient of the highly regarded 2014 Princeton Lecture Series Fellowship. As a tribute to his career in the field of autism, Dr. Durand was selected to be a keynote speaker at the 20th anniversary of the Princeton Lecture Series on Autism, where experts are invited to present new findings and future possibilities for the treatment and awareness of this complex developmental disorder.
"This is an impressive accomplishment for Dr. Durand and an honor for USFSP," said Vivian Fueyo, Ph.D., interim regional vice chancellor of Academic Affairs. "This award simply confirms what we've long understood — that Dr. Durand is one of this country's leading authorities on autism."
Durand's body of work includes the publication of three books since November: "Sleep Better! A Guide to Improving Sleep for Children with Special Needs," "Autism Spectrum Disorder," which is aimed at helping clinicians screen for and treat the disorder, and "Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach," Seventh Edition, a textbook required by universities across the country. Yet a fourth book, the seventh edition of a second text, "Essentials of Abnormal Psychology" is due in the fall.
For his Princeton lecture, Durand drew largely from his research and the resulting popular book, "Optimistic Parenting," which guides parents and teachers of challenged children on how to develop more positive thoughts and perceptions — a key ingredient of successful parenting and effective behavior management.
"Trying to change difficult child behavior is much more complicated if families are struggling themselves," says Durand. "What we are learning is that confidence and optimism — having hope — are prerequisites to successful parenting."

Danks solid as Sox snap five-game skid
While he has no idea where the White Sox are going, starting pitcher John Danks knows where they've been -- a bad place.
After going 8-19 in June and falling out of contention, the Sox are bracing for the upcoming nonwaiver trade deadline.
Until general manager Rick Hahn decides if he's going to ship out players, the White Sox are just going to focus on the game at hand. The plan worked well Tuesday night in a 5-2 win over the Orioles at chilly U.S. Cellular Field.
"We know how good we are, and we know we have a (heck) of a road ahead," Danks (2-5) said after pitching 7 innings and allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. "We did this to ourselves. We just hope we're able to do it, starting now."
Danks has gradually been making progress after missing a full year due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. The 28-year-old lefty looked a lot like his old self while containing a potent Baltimore lineup in the opener of a three-game series.
"John was great tonight," second baseman Gordon Beckham said after going 3-for-4 a driving in a run. "The last two starts, you've really seen John Danks and the John Danks that we knew. It looks like he's really starting to feel better after his injury, so that's an awesome sign."
Conor Gillaspie helped the Sox snap a five-game losing streak with a solo home run in the sixth inning, and Adam Dunn stayed hot with a 2-run homer in the seventh.
Peavy update:
Injured starting pitcher Jake Peavy threw his first bullpen Tuesday since going on the disabled list in early June with a fractured rib. Pitching coach Don Cooper liked the "light to medium" session.
"He did very well," Cooper said. "It was better than I thought it was going to be. We reacquainted ourselves with the stretch, full windup, he located his fastballs everywhere, changeup, threw a couple sliders, threw a couple cutters and threw some curveballs."
Peavy is scheduled to throw off the mound again Friday at Tampa Bay.
"No problems today," Peavy said. "I'm just trying to get my arm back in shape and it felt pretty good."
Konerko returns:
After missing the past six games with a sore lower back, Paul Konerko returned to the White Sox' lineup Tuesday and was 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts.
On Friday, Konerko thought he was headed for the disabled list, but six painkilling injections and a good cage session Saturday changed his mind.
"Rest was good at beginning, but you get sore from sitting or laying around," Konerko said. "It's good to go move around. That's where I'm at, air it out."

TEFAF Design. Photo: Bastiaan van Musscher.
TEFAF Maastricht
, the worlds most influential art and antiques fair, will have a record number of 260 exhibitors from 17 countries when the 23rd edition opens at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre) in the southern Netherlands from 12-21 March 2010. The European Fine Art Fair will reinforce its reputation for quality with exhibitors bringing only the very finest art and antiques all of which will be rigorously vetted by teams of experts. It will expand by introducing TEFAF on Paper, a new section devoted entirely to works on paper. The latest in a series of groundbreaking reports specially prepared for TEFAF will examine how the international art market has fared during the economic recession.
Magnificent Works of Art
Exhibitors at TEFAF will show some 30,000 works of art and antiques, including paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, furniture, classical antiquities, illuminated manuscripts, jewellery, textiles, porcelain, glass, silver, design and other works of art. Every era from classical antiquity to the 21st century will be represented.
Among the many works of art for sale at TEFAF will be:
The Courtenay Compendium, a long-lost collection of historical tracts last seen in the 16th-century which contains the first substantial manuscript relating to the traveller Marco Polo to come onto the market for almost a hundred years. It will be offered for sale by Dr Jörn Günther Rare Books from Switzerland for 2.5 million.
A rare Tianhuang seal from the Kangxi period (1662-1722) in China. Superbly carved in the form of a crouching lioness, the 5cms high seal with the name of one of the Emperors sons inscribed on the side was made by a master craftsman. It will be exhibited by Littleton & Hennessy Asian Art Ltd. of London with an asking price of 550,000.
A 15th-century domestic altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child enthroned between saints by Giovanni di Paolo which exemplifies the exquisite late Gothic style in Sienese painting to be exhibited by Moretti Fine Art Ltd. of Florence, London and New York. The price will be 2.2 million.
A man singing, a magnificent Old Master painting by the 17th century Dutch artist Jan Lievens, who worked alongside Rembrandt, which will be offered for sale for a price in the region of 800,000 by Whitfield Fine Art of London.
The highly important "Portrait of George Washington" painted in 1822 by the American artist Gilbert Stuart. This picture of the first President of the United States will be brought to TEFAF by first-time exhibitor Hammer Galleries of New York. The price will be 5 million.
"Untitled XVI", a 1982 work by the Dutch-born painter Willem de Kooning, who became a leading Abstract Expressionist artist in the United States, to be shown by new exhibitor L&M Arts of New York priced at 3.7 million.
A late 16th-century winged dragon pendant made from gold set with emeralds which was once in the Rothschild Collection and which will be brought to TEFAF by the Spanish dealer Luis Elvira and offered for sale for a price in the region of 100,000.
A rare Indo-Portuguese silver filigree casket from 17th century Goa which will be exhibited by Kunstkammer Georg Laue from Munich. Only two other similar works by craftsmen from Goa are known, both of them in museums. The price will be 63,000.
A pair of ormolu-mounted kingwood, sycamore and fruitwood marquetry commodes made in Dresden c1765 probably by a court cabinet maker for a royal apartment. They will be exhibited by Kunsthandel Peter Mühlbauer from Germany and priced at 420,000 for the pair.
Exhibitors at TEFAF
The record number of 260 exhibitors at TEFAF 2010 will include 22 who will be new to the Fair or will be returning having taken part in the past. They will be divided into nine sections, the largest of which will be Antiques and Works of Art with 97 of the worlds best dealers occupying 5,328 square metres of exhibition space. The next biggest are Paintings, Drawings and Prints with 64 exhibitors filling 3,548 square metres and Modern Art with 45 specialists covering 3,208 square metres. Including the Business Pavilion, TEFAF Maastricht will have a total of 15,169 square metres of exhibition space.
TEFAF on Paper
The majority of the first-time exhibitors will be taking part in TEFAF on Paper, a new initiative creating an entire section of the Fair devoted to Old Master and modern drawings, limited edition prints, photography, antiquarian books and manuscripts, Japanese prints and watercolors. A total of 18 dealers will exhibit in the TEFAF on Paper section which will occupy the upstairs hall where TEFAF successfully launched TEFAF Design at the 2009 Fair. TEFAF Design, which proved a huge attraction to visitors to the Fair, will move downstairs.
TEFAF Showcase
In addition to the 254 exhibitors in the main section of the Fair, a further six will take part in TEFAF Showcase. Now in its third year, TEFAF Showcase gives recently established galleries the opportunity to take part in the Fair on a strictly one-off basis and to gain experience of being part of a major international fine art event. It also introduces visitors to TEFAF to some of the most interesting emerging galleries from around the world. The successful applicants for TEFAF Showcase 2010 are Humphrey Butler from London (antique jewellery), Dierk Dierking from Cologne (African art), Pierre-Marie Giraud from Brussels (contemporary ceramics and glass), Nomos of Zurich (coins and medals), Hidde van Seggelen of London (contemporary art) and TEFAFs first exhibitor from mainland China, Pekin Fine Arts (contemporary Chinese art).
Art Market Report
The latest in a series of important reports commissioned by The European Fine Art Foundation, which organises The European Fine Art Fair, will be published shortly before the the 2010 Fair. Compiled by Dr Clare McAndrew, a leading cultural economist specialising in the fine and decorative art market and founder of Arts Economics, it will review and analyse the key trends in the European art market within an international context. It will look in detail at how the art market has fared during the international economic recession from 2007-2009.
TEFAF Maastricht 2009
TEFAF Maastricht 2009 took place during the most serious economic crisis that the world has seen for decades. Strong sales to private collectors and museums provided firm evidence that the market for high quality works of art remained solid despite the global financial situation.
Art, more than an asset
TEFAF shares its view of art as more than an asset with its principal sponsor, AXA Art. Their partnership provides art collectors with unique expertise covering the full range of risk prevention, conservation, recovery and restoration, so that they can maintain their collections in the best possible condition.

Luna's name shines brightest in competition
The temporary name of the Buffalo Zoo's polar bear cub who has captured the public's imagination is going to be permanent.
"Luna" received about 82 percent of the vote, easily besting four other finalist names in a contest that saw 854 people register their votes in a Facebook naming contest. The other names, in order of popularity, were Pearl, Bumble, Hope and Buffy.
Those names had emerged from hundreds of earlier votes.
The fluffy white cub, who now weighs 63 pounds, was moved Wednesday from an exhibit at the front of the zoo to one toward the back that's inside the Vanishing Animals exhibit. She will continue to be on exhibit for one hour daily, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., sharing space used by the spectacled bears.
"The exhibit has a pool built into it, and one of the requirements is that she has to have access to a pool. We have to teach her how to swim," said Rachel Gottlieb, the zoo's spokeswoman.
The zoo is still waiting for Kali, the orphaned bear cub that is coming from Alaska.
"He should be here in a few weeks. We're hoping that he will be on exhibit with Luna by June 1," Gottlieb said.
The fundraising campaign for Luna's eventual Arctic Edge home continues to progress. The campaign has drawn $900,000 in public and large private donations and government grants since March 1, leaving $3.1 million still to be raised. Among that total are 2,265 individual private donors, who have given $217,000.
Meanwhile, as Luna gets bigger, her trainers have stopped going inside the enclosures with her – both for her own good, Gottlieb said, and the safety of the trainers.
"She's getting so big, and they're trying to get Luna used to being a bear and not imprinting so much onto humans," she said.

Monday , May 14, 2018 - 9:03 PM
(1) Davis vs. (4) Lone Peak
Davis is motivated beyond everything to rectify its early playoff exit from a year ago and the Darts are coming off a week of rest.
They should be ready to deal with a Lone Peak team that's better than its 10-13 record indicates.
(1) Viewmont vs. (4) Highland
After winning 14 combined games the previous two seasons, Viewmont won 17, including the last 10 in a row, and an outright Region 5 title this year.
Highland beat Viewmont 10-8 on March 29 this season.
(2) Clearfield vs. (3) Pleasant Grove
Pitchers Bryson Hirabayashi (6-2, 1.78 ERA) and Conner Coleman (3-3, 1.75 ERA) lead a deep Clearfield team against Pleasant Grove, which finished third in a tough region with Bingham and American Fork.
(2) Box Elder vs. (3) Skyline
Jeremy Gee has an impressive 6-3 record as Box Elder's No. 1 pitcher. Box Elder and Skyline both played Weber in non-region play and lost big.
(3) Northridge at (2) American Fork
Northidge pitcher and BYU commit Jake Porter is 4-3 with a 2.98 ERA while junior Jacob Rhoades is 4-1 with a 2.71 ERA.
American Fork, 2016 5A champ, is one of the teams to beat this year despite a No. 2 seed.
(3) Roy at (2) Murray
Roy comes into the playoffs on the back of its first series win of the season.
Seniors Jack Hulce and Brody Perkes are playing well, and the timing could be ripe for the Royals to upset a Murray team that's lost four straight.
(4) Weber at (1) Bingham
Weber's senior-loaded team is in the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Jace Campbell leads the team in home runs (5), doubles (7) and RBIs (26).
Seven Bingham starters are hitting .300 or better, but more impressively the team has an ERA of 2.57.
(4) Bountiful at (1) Olympus
Olympus's senior-heavy squad hits .389 as a team with four players hitting .400-plus, has a team ERA of 2.24 and an overall record of 23-2.
It's a tall task facing Bountiful, but the Braves just won three of four games against Woods Cross to get into the playoffs.
(1) Syracuse vs. (4) Westlake
Syracuse has a lot of things in its favor: experience, solid pitching, solid hitting, solid defense and a 5-1 record in games decided by two runs or less this year.
First up is a young Westlake team that went 7-13 this year.
(1) Bountiful vs. (4) East
Bountiful sophomore Dashani Purcell is hitting .507 with team highs in home runs (14) and RBIs (46), one of three starters hitting .500 or better.
Sophia Stoddard (.514) and freshman Libbie Hawker (.500) round out the rest of .500-plus hitters.
(2) Layton vs. (3) American Fork
Layton is on a roll at a good time. The Lancers started Region 1 play 2-3, then won seven straight games to clinch second place.
Pitcher Jackie Gold, catcher Kaitlyn Roberts and Mikayle Stites have been responsible for a lot of the recent success.
(2) Box Elder vs. (3) Olympus
Box Elder's dynamic duo of Brylee Marziale (9-4, 1.57 ERA) and Nyah DeRyke (5-2, 1.49 ERA) could help take the Bees make a deep run.
Sydnie Blacker bats .432 and leads a Bees team batting .389. DeRyke and Marziale each bat .425 and have 68 RBIs between the two of them.
(3) Clearfield at (2) Pleasant Grove
Clearfield survived a rough patch from late April to early May and has now won four of its past five games.
Senior Jessie Golder leads the team in batting, with freshmen Rachael Brown and Kaycee Valencia not far off.
(3) Roy at (2) Murray
Murray hits .369 as a team, but has a 6.86 ERA which is where Roy can capitalize. Royals pitcher Maysa Averett and catcher Ana Palmer have been two of the team's more reliable players.
(4) Davis at (1) Bingham
Davis may be the most dangerous No. 4 seed in the 6A field and can show off why against a loaded Bingham team that went unbeaten in Region 4.
The Darts hit .344 as a team to go with 24 homers and lost to Bingham 6-5 in the teams' season opener way back in March.
(4) Woods Cross at (1) West
Defending 5A champion West hasn't lost to a team from Utah and is this year's overwhelming tournament favorite.
Freshmen Elizabeth Busdicker (.353), Jade Valdez (.339) and Autumn Johnson (.326) lead Woods Cross in batting.
(1) Layton vs. (4) American Fork
Layton's defense has allowed just nine goals in 14 matches with six shutouts.
The Lancers have allowed more than one goal just once, but the defending 5A champs have a big target on their back after last year's championship.
(1) Box Elder vs. (4) East
The Region 1-champion Bees get a stiff test from East on Wednesday, which is 9-7 overall and held its own in a brutal Region 6. Bees striker Mitchell Pyle leads all of 5A with 18 goals.
(2) Weber vs. (3) Bingham
Weber's defense has kept seven clean sheets and the Warriors are 7-2 in games decided by one goal. Eric Morris leads the team with 10 goals.
(2) Roy vs. (3) Olympus
Roy hosts the best three-seed in the 5A tournament, Olympus (10-3-3) on Wednesday. Cody Moore and Gunner Erickson lead the Royals with six goals apiece.
(3) Davis at (2) Westlake
Jeremy Sommer leads Davis with 13 goals in 16 matches. The Darts are one of the best No. 3 seeds in the 6A field and have enough firepower to upset the Thunder.
(3) Viewmont at (2) West
Viewmont is unbeaten its last three games and will need to turn that into a good performance against West on Wednesday, which has won five straight. Preston Pitt leads the Vikings with eight goals.
(4) Northridge at (1) Pleasant Grove
Northridge is making its second playoff appearance since making the quarterfinals in 2004. The Knights visit a Pleasant Grove team that hasn't lost since April 11.
(4) Woods Cross at (1) Skyline
Stop Jake Jensen, and Woods Cross has a chance to win Wednesday. Skyline is one of the 5A favorites having won a tough region and beaten Layton, Box Elder and Fremont in non-region play.

Asalaamu alaikum. Peace to all who read this. My name is Saif Allah Downs. I'm a 31 year old revert to Islam. I was a Christian for many years but never truly satisfied that I had found my home, the place where I belonged. I had struggled to understand my faith and that led to somewhat of a dilemma where I found myself jumping from denomination to denomination trying to find the truth that I sought in Christianity. I looked and looked and looked some more but never found it. I really didn't have that many rules and guidelines to live by according to the Bible and I was happy with that because I was lazy and didn't put much effort into anything that I did. So I was fine with this. But there came a day where I was not fine… Continue Reading »

Hotels prepare for holiday travel
Not everyone can stay at Grandma's house during the holiday season, so many people turn to hotels for a home away from home.
As the holidays draw closer, business travel declines, and family travel increases. Eighty percent of North Carolina's visitors come to the state for a pleasure trip, according to recent North Carolina Department of Commerce statistics. About 12 percent of travelers come to the state for business purposes.
Catawba County has 22 hotels providing services for travelers in the area, including hotels in Conover, Hickory and Claremont.
The Hampton Inn of Hickory is primarily a business-travel hotel. Front office manager Amber Williams said the holiday season changes their normally business-oriented guests into more family travelers.
"It's really nice to see all the children come during the holidays," Williams said. "They seem to really enjoy the decorations."
This is the first holiday season for the Hampton Inn, which opened in late December 2009. To celebrate the hotel's inaugural Christmas season, the lobby is guarded by twin life-size nutcrackers, as well as several Christmas trees and a Santa Claus.
"We're really excited about the holidays," Williams said. "We're just making sure we're fully staffed."
The Hampton Inn employs about 25 people, who work around the clock to serve guests with needs ranging from missing toothbrushes to a faulty Internet connection.
Taylor Dellinger, a data analyst for the Western Piedmont Council of Governments, recently completed a study about Catawba County hotels' revenue. Dellinger said the county sees a spike in tourism in the summer months as families travel on vacation. Another spike in tourism occurs in the fall, with leaf season and the Greater Hickory Classic golf tournament.
"People come to look at the leaves, and the golf tournament always seems to come at a similar time," Dellinger said.
He said hotels experience a smaller spike during winter months, as people travel for the holiday season.
December through February represents the slowest time for North Carolina travel, according to the N.C. Division of Tourism, Film and Sports development, with about 17 percent of 2009's visitors arriving in the winter months.
Kent Reitzel, who works in guest services at the Sleep Inn of Hickory, confirmed winter months are often slower than peak travel seasons.
"Most of our clientele are because people are traveling for business," Reitzel said. "And that slows down because of the holidays."
The Sleep Inn in Hickory has about 80 rooms, including their double rooms, which feature two beds separated by a door.
The single largest month for visitors to North Carolina is June, which accounted for almost 12 percent of 2009 visitors.
According to the NCDOC, almost 40 million trips were taken in North Carolina in 2009, which ranks the state sixth in the country in domestic visitation.
Travel and tourism in North Carolina generates about $22 billion in total economic impact for the state.

Financial fair play draws closer as Premier League chairmen vote in favour
Premier League clubs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of introducing financial restrictions, according to David Gold.
Last Updated: 11/04/13 7:11am
Representatives of the clubs initially met in December to discuss proposals which would impose short-term limits on wage rises and force clubs to work towards breaking even.
The 20 members agreed to reconvene this week, when 14 votes were required to approve the proposals.
Full details of the agreement are expected to be disclosed later on Thursday, but Gold emerged from the vote to tell Sky Sports News: "The clubs supported change.
"We've all voted and it was overwhelmingly supported. Some clubs are a little concerned, but the vast majority voted in favour.
"That will now go to the board for putting into rules, and we'll vote on that in April.
"It's not a salary cap, it's a restraint on over-spending. If clubs increase their revenues then they can increase their spending. We have got restraint, that's the important thing."
The possibility of regulation has arisen against the backdrop of UEFA's Financial Fair Play initiative.
Under UEFA's new rules clubs are being forced to minimise losses or risk the possibility of exclusion from European competition from 2014/15.

Poliquin Overstated Estimated Savings From Competitive Health Insurance Bids
By Lois Kilby-Chesley
Attacking educators and their profession has become a daily grind of the conservative ideologues. They base their agenda on politically motivated grenade throwing, aimed at public school employees. Bruce Poliquin, Maine state treasurer, has launched yet another attack on our educators.
As the election campaigning concludes in the next few days, I hope officials come to realize that they should not see as enemies the teachers who work to educate our children, bus drivers who care for our children in the safety of their vehicle, education technicians who tutor and help children in need of special attention, school custodians who work to keep schools clean and healthy, food service workers who prepare endless meals and secretaries who greet us as we enter our local school.
These individuals work for Maine's communities to ensure our children and grandchildren have great public schools and top-notch educations. In exchange for caring for our children, school employees ask for fair wages and benefits.
But there are those who believe that Maine's educators are money-grubbers who don't deserve to be paid an honest wage or receive adequate benefits.
Poliquin, who in addition to being treasurer also sits as a trustee of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System, targeted educators' health insurance — MEA Benefits Trust — in a recent OpEd.
He states that when he rips at Benefits Trust he only does so as the state's treasurer. I trust Poliquin when he says his attack on Benefits Trust is confined to a single role and is not by virtue of his other positions.
To be transparent, I am president of the Maine Education Association. I also sit on MEA Benefits Trust. Poliquin needs to extend the same courtesy to me as a trustee while I attempt to correct common misconceptions.
In his mind, Poliquin has a suspension bridge connecting the Maine Education Association, the professional organization for educators in Maine, with Benefits Trust, an independent insurance trust for educators. In reality the connection is more like a rope swing. At its beginning in 1993, Benefits Trust was designed by the MEA.
For 20 years Benefits Trust has been a not-for-profit, legal entity separate and apart from the Maine Education Association. Benefits Trust has one purpose – to provide high-quality, affordable health insurance to educators and their families in Maine. Benefits Trust presently provides health insurance to most public school employees and their families — around 70,000 participants.
Having a large group of participants reduces the costs because of the sheer size of the pool. In addition the rate stabilization fund administered by the trust has kept yearly increases close to 6 percent for more than a decade, saving school districts millions of dollars.
The Benefits Trust has a business relationship with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. The trust periodically requests bids for services, but during the most recent bid request Anthem had the sole submission.
In the 125th Legislature, a new law passed that stated health insurers must disclose, upon written request from a public school district, information about the use of insurance by the district's employees. A court challenge ensued, and recently Benefits Trust decided not to pursue the case further.
This opens the door for other carriers to bid for each small contingent of a local school district's employees through bargaining. Though Poliquin expects astronomical savings for school districts, the initial "savings" will likely be short term as insurance brokers try to undercut each other to book the business, only to raise the costs a few months down the road. A bid is only as good as the length of time it remains competitive.
Maine has seen the effect of other health insurance law changes. A report by Consumers for Affordable Health Care states: The majority of individual policyholders (53.6 percent) saw rate increases. Ninety-one percent of individual policyholders ages 55-59 saw rate increases. One hundred percent of individual policyholders 60 or older saw significant rate increases (of 18 percent or more).
Poliquin's case that local property taxes will be significantly reduced by challenging the two-decades-long success of Benefits Trust is unproven when we look at the failure of these other recent changes.
The decisions made in the 125th Legislature and championed by fiscal conservatives are a loss for educators who give of themselves to our children every day. Perhaps after the election our leaders will reconsider the present war on public education, reaffirm the importance of providing adequate benefits at a reasonable price to employees and begin to view educators as friends within our community.

Check if this item fits your vehicle
Regular fitments are where all four wheels on the vehicle are the exact same width and diameter. The vast majority of vehicles
will come with regular fitments as standard, with the exception being certain vehicles which feature staggered set ups from the factory.
If you're unsure whether your vehicle takes a staggered fitment or not, you should check the sticker on the drivers' side door jamb
of your vehicle which will list all of the wheel dimension details. Assuming your car still has its original wheels fitted, if all
four wheels are the same dimensions then you have a regular setup. If the fronts and rears are different, you have a staggered set up.
Staggered fitments, also referred to as staggered applications, means that the wheels on the rear of the vehicle are a different size
to those on the front. Staggered fitments where the rear wheels are wider than the front wheels are often popular for rear-wheel
drive cars to offer more grip upon acceleration and a more purposeful aesthetic.
Many high-performance vehicles will feature a staggered fitment as standard. Staggered fitments where the rear wheels are larger in
diameter than the front wheels are also common on some vehicles.
The overall 'size' of the wheel. Larger wheels are generally considered to be more aesthetically pleasing as they fill the arches of the
vehicle much better. Bigger wheels can also improve handling and high-speed performance, but this comes at the cost of a firmer ride
and increased road noise. The diameter of the wheel will also affect your choice of tyres; it can sometimes be difficult to find a
wide range of tyres to suit wheels which are either very large or very small.
Offset, also referred to as ET, is the measurement of the distance between the centre of the wheel and the wheel hub mounting surface.
Wheels with the wrong offset for your car can negatively affect its handling and also its appearance, as the wheels could either
stick too far out of the arches or too far in to them. Generally, wheels will have their ET number stamped into them for quick reference.
Also known as the stud/lug pattern, the PCD number denotes how many studs or lugs your car has on each wheel and how far apart they're
spaced. For example, a wheel with a 5x100 PCD will have five studs each spaced 100mm apart. If you want wheels which aren't offered
in the correct PCD for your vehicle, you can opt for hub adaptors or PCD variation bolts which can be used to correct small variations in PCD size.
The centre bore is the size of the hole in the centre of the wheel and is usually measured in millimetres. If the wheels you want have a
larger centre bore than those of the standard wheels on your vehicle, it's possible to use spigot rings to adapt the wheel to your
car and help avoid the wheel from wobbling.
Load rating indicates how much weight the wheel can handle. Wheels with higher load ratings are suitable for vehicles that are either
physically heavier or carry heavy weights, for example trucks and vans.

MOVIA Metro – Delhi, India
In June 2007, Bombardier Transportation was awarded a contract by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC) to supply 340 MOVIA metro cars in 4, 6 and 8-car trainset configuration for operation on the extended Delhi Metro network. In March 2008 and July 2010, DMRC exercised the options for additional 84 and 114 MOVIA metro cars. In 2011, another 76 cars were ordered, bringing the total number of metro cars ordered to 614 cars.
High capacity MOVIA vehicles reduce the daily travel time for around 4 million passengers, alleviating the heavy traffic congestion and pollution caused by more than one million cars that commute in New Delhi every day. The trains provided effective public transport during the 2010 Commonwealth Games that was held in New Delhi, home to almost 16 million people. Bombardier CITYFLO mass transit signalling technology was also provided for the same customer, increasing frequency and availability of services.

Then, as they ate, Jesus took a loaf, and after giving thanks, broke it and gave it to the disciples saying: 'Take some and eat it, because this is my body.' He also took a cup [of wine], and after giving thanks, gave it to them saying, 'All of you drink from it, 28 because this is my blood of the New Sacred Agreement, which will be poured out for many to forgive [their] sins. But I tell you that I definitely won't drink of this product of the vine anymore, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the Kingdom of my Father.' Finally, after singing songs of praise, they went out to the Mount of Olives. [It was there that] Jesus said to them: 'All of you will be stumbled [by what will happen to] me tonight, because it's written: I will beat the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.
'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
'In that Day, all [springs] will then open wide, for the rinsing and cleansing of David's house, and for those who live in JeruSalem. And in that Day it will be,' says Jehovah of Armies; 'The names of their idols I'll wipe from the land, so they'll be remembered no more. And I will remove from the land, the false prophets with their unclean spirits.'And if there's a man who still prophecies; his father and the mother who bore him, must tell him that he may no longer live! For, he has told lies in the Name of the Lord. Then his father and the mother who bore him, will tie him up, because he prophesied. And it will be in that Day, that their visions will bring them disgrace, as will the things that they prophesied. They'll cover their heads with animal hides, because they will know that they've lied. And they'll say, I'm not a prophet; I'm just a man who works the ground… this is all that I've done since my youth!'And then I will ask, So, what are these wounds in your hands?'And they will reply, They were struck in the homes of our loved ones. 'O broadsword, awaken against [such] a man, and against the shepherds [who live in] My land,' says Jehovah the Almighty. 'Strike the shepherds and scatter the sheep… against the shepherds I'll bring My hand.'And in that Day,' says Jehovah; 'two-thirds will be wiped out and gone, but a third will still remain. Then I'll try them as [you] try gold. But, they will call on My Name. Then I will say, You're My people, and they will say, Jehovah's our God.''Look; The Lord's [Great] Day now approaches, when spoils will be divided among them. To JeruSalem I'll gather all nations, and the city will be captured thereafter. All the homes will be looted, and all the women will be raped. Then half of the city will be led away, and the rest (those who are My people), will not be destroyed from the [land]. Then the Lord will attack all those nations, in His battle on the Day of the war.
Believe it or not, many, if not most Christian believers have no idea that there are problems with their faith...
Quote from: Truth OT on April 23, 2012, 10:54:25 AMBelieve it or not, many, if not most Christian believers have no idea that there are problems with their faith...What do you mean by the word "faith" here in this context? I'm not challenging you, I just don't know what you mean.
(I'm looking at his, rather, negative and death-bearing sayings here...)
if the story would be even a little true, a "historical" jesus that was just a apocalyptic rabbi, would JC and his followers have become like Heaven's Gate?
Or possibly, it applies to religions or beliefs that have certain characteristics. Free Market theory? Abstinence only sex ed? Trickle down economics? These ideas persist despite evidence that they are baloney. Why? What do they have in common with religion? Maybe it is just human inability to admit we are wrong? Maybe denial about the universe not being the way we wish it to be is built into our brains?
I don't see why people are so close-minded.

CMS for admins (Ability to manage web layout, manage league users, send notifications to league members, add new pages, add links to the menu).
Did you use one of Yii''s CMS?

I just checked: you are using Yii - and it's impressive that you're only using one single asset directory.
Besides the fact that the site itself is approaching eye-candy.
It would be great if you could tone down your marketing speak a bit and tell us how you did the site.

I didn't get this... What do you think with "one single assets directory" ?
Posted 09 December 2010 - 06:47 AM
Anyway, I looked at the source and it looks like Yii. They are only using one script, so only one asset directory (in the source).
That doesn't mean that they only have that one, though. Move along..
Posted 09 December 2010 - 06:51 AM
now that the site works... would be a good time to make these URL a bit more user (and SEO) friendly...
Posted 09 December 2010 - 10:08 AM
About Having SEO friendly URLs, i'm going to do that once i'm done building the whole app.

I kept things very simple since Its my first ever large scale web app.
About the site, i started building it in late August. We play a Football game called Madden but the franchise site offered by EA Sports to check our league's stats is very simple, the stats are not very in depth and they don't keep track of the stats for the live of the franchise, just the current season.
The EA Franchise sites use AJAX and the requests return xml. It was easy to use the http client component by ZEND to remotely login and connect to the site to make all the requests to obtain the gamelogs for games played.
Here is my simple dir structure
I keep my actions, filters, xml parsers and Zend components away from the main app directory, this was done because i was thinking of getting somebody to help me with the site and i didn't want that person to look at what i call "the most important code". But then i learned that people can write a script to get the contents of all the files in my server so i just didn't bother to get help .
main app dir

Thanks, i hate it too. The reason for the chat is that Each league admin has the ability to modify their layout anyway way they want, this is the reason why the league pages look somewhat different for each league.

I see. I was planning to give ftp access to the xtreme-football.net dir to somebody to help me but then i realize anybody with access to that dir can browse my files starting at the root of my account.

About people and permissions:
There is no way people can mess with the file system, unless you have set permissions to 777.
That's simply not possible.
The only way it can happen is if you're using a regular un-encrypted FTP connection while working on the site.
Then malicious personage can sniff your username and password easily, and thus gain total access.
The rule is: use SFTP whenever possible.
If your host is not offering SSH access, you can't trust that the source is safe.
It happened to me on Dreamhost once, and after changing all shell passwords and start using SFTP, it hasn't happened since then.

Can you send me prices on the items I posted in the PM? Thanks!
Eva01, PM sent
stil have that 4gb DDR2 RAM set and an 8gb micro sd card if you ever feel like parting with that Genesis.
Got it. Sounds good, but do you have pix coming?
Other deal fell through (for other parts I was wanting the RAM for, atm), sorry, still keeping you in mind though, will let you know if anything changes
PM replied and pics sent
Updated with SNES games etc...

Would you consider cash in trade for this?
PM Sent
o I sent you a list of the monitors I have by PM. Also included a couple extra things I might have from your Wanted list in the email reply I sent to you. We can continue by email if you like.
BTW, what condition are you SNES and PS1 games?
MODERATION: I've let this go without prices because it's a For Trade only thread. If you're going to start selling things, you'll have to post prices for everything.
SD/Your Friendly Agora Mod Team
K, no more posts to buy
Could I get more info (if its been written/discussed) somewhere, about the intent/reasons-for the policy (Agora Guidelines doesn't go into much detail)?
>have to post prices for everything.
The rationale is we're an amateur trading site with volunteer moderators, not an auction or commercial site. If we don't require prices, then we get threads asking for offers which is basically what EBay is. That's not what we're about. If you want to sell it here, you post a price that you want and you sell. You can take less, but we just don't have the bandwidth to host auctions or the mod time to moderate disputes over auction or "make offer" type sales.

Newtown voices to be heard
NEWTOWN -- Local residents still reeling from the Sandy Hook shootings can voice their opinions Wednesday to state lawmakers looking to prevent similar tragedies.
Hundreds are expected to attend the 6 p.m. public hearing at Newtown High School held by the Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence and Children's Safety.
The task force's working groups -- on mental health, gun violence and school safety -- have held sometimes contentious hearings in Hartford in the past week that stretched well past midnight.
Local resident Tom Fornabaio, who said he plans to attend Wednesday's hearing, said he wants to hear more from the state about mental health care.
"We already have some of the strictest gun laws in the country," Fornabaio said, adding he has a permit to carry a gun but doesn't own one. "But I know there are a lot of families who need mental health assistance for loved ones and nothing is available. Mental health is an area I am very concerned about."
During Tuesday's hearings, a psychiatrist testified about the lack of psychiatric services in Connecticut for children and adolescents, resulting in undiagnosed disorders.
Testimony at Monday's hearing on gun violence included gun advocates who said they wanted to preserve their Second Amendment rights, along with gun owners who said they support more background checks and the registration of rifles in the state.
Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra said many residents have been watching the hearings and looking forward to having their own say.
"These are very difficult issues that are emotionally laden and generate a lot of passion from all sides," Llodra said. "This is an opportunity for our residents to express their perspective and give the lawmakers some guidance in how to move forward."
Llodra said she hasn't decided if she will speak at Wednesday's hearing, adding that she has had ample opportunity to express her views.
"I don't what to take time away from others," she said.
State Rep. Mitch Bolinsky, R-Newtown, said he expects to hear testimony on all sides of the issues, and to have his heart broken again listening to the families and first responders who were devastated by the tragedy.
"This is obviously a very emotional time for everyone in Newtown," Bolinsky said. "My job is to listen to my friends, neighbors and constituents to help me make up my mind on some of these proposals."
Tom Bittman, co-founder of Sandy Hook Promise, said he expects several family members of the victims will attend Wednesday's hearings. He said that while the organization is providing volunteers to help with logistics, whether co-founders of Sandy Hook Promise will speak has yet to be determined.
State Sen. John McKinney, a Republican whose district includes Newtown, said his one expectation for Wednesday's hearing is, "We will be sharing some very heartfelt and courageous statements from Newtowners. My colleagues will get to see the quality of the people in Newtown and their tremendous strength and compassion."
Both McKinney and Bolinsky said they plan to attend the hearing.
Registration for the hearing is scheduled to begin at Newtown High School at 4:30 p.m. Organizers said Tuesday that anyone who comes early will be turned away, as the school building and parking lot are needed for regular school activities.
The hearing will be held from 6 p.m. to midnight. Preference will be given to relatives of victims and first responders. A lottery will be held to determine the remainder of the speakers.

An Ohio man accused of cheating an Adrian couple out of $10,500 in an Internet car deal was banned from using the Internet during a two-year probation term.
Shabazz Boukary-Martinson, 26, of the Columbus, Ohio, area was also sentenced Monday to a year in jail for his reduced misdemeanor identity fraud conviction in Lenawee County District Court. He has already served seven months in jail. Judge James E. Sheridan ordered the remainder of his jail term suspended if he is picked up by Ohio authorities.
Boukary-Martinson was indicted last week by an Ohio grand jury in a fraud case there, the court was told.
Felony charges were authorized early this year in Lenawee County against Boukary-Martinson for an alleged Internet fraud in August 2012.
A local couple reported to Adrian police they lost $10,500 they put up to buy a Mini Cooper on the eBay auction site. The money was to go into an escrow account pending delivery of the car, said Adrian police Detective Greg Lanford. Instead, it went into a standard bank account belonging to Frib Innovations LLC, a company owned by Boukary-Martinson.
Lanford said the money was gone from the account by the time police located it.
The fraud also involved use of another person's identity as the car seller. The name used was the wife of a Japanese Mitsubishi executive who had been transferred from Detroit back to Japan, said Lanford.
She never owned the Mini Cooper the Adrian couple thought they were buying, Lanford said.
Sheridan ordered Boukary-Martinson to pay the couple back the $10,500 they lost in the fraudulent deal, as well as a $250 fine, $1,200 court costs and $180 attorney fees.
Boukary-Martinson asked to be able to continue taking online college classes while on probation.
That limited use of the Internet can be allowed if a probation officer can confirm it, Sheridan said.
"Mr. Martinson, your behavior has not been what can be described as exemplary," Sheridan said. "Therefore, I cannot trust you."
