He was eager to spend time with his mother, who Davis has seen once since January. He was ready to relax. And, of course, the 6-foot-1, 326-pound Davis was looking forward to something else that goes hand-in-hand with the holidays.
"I just want to go get some home cooking," Davis said. "I'm a big boy. I've got to eat."
Davis and the rest of Razorbacks have put in plenty of work during the 2011 season, which included a second-straight 10-win season and a late-season push that vaulted Arkansas into the national title picture.
There's plenty left to do, too, with two weeks of practices remaining before the Hogs play Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 6.
But the Razorbacks, like most college football teams playing in bowl games Jan. 1 or later, are getting a much-needed break for the past few days. Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino released his team for Christmas last Wednesday, giving a team whose roster includes players from the West Coast (California and Arizona), the East Coat (Maryland, Florida, New Jersey) and plenty of places in between a chance to go home and relax.
"What they need to do is go home and enjoy Christmas," Petrino said of his instructions to his team. "I think that the biggest thing is to relax and enjoy your family. Enjoy the holidays and be safe — that's the main thing."
Arkansas receiver Jarius Wright, a Warren native who didn't have to travel too far to make it home, said it's time off players cherish.
Especially since there has been so few chances since August, when preseason camp began. There is no vacation for college football players, after all, so a few days off at Christmas is valuable.
"It's a good chance for the family to be around each other and spend well-needed time," Wright said about his plans. "It's about the only time you get to spend quality time together."
Davis, who said he went without seeing his mother from just after the Sugar Bowl in January to the South Carolina game in early November, is just one example. Arkansas fullback Kiero Small, who is wrapping up his first season with the Razorbacks, said he hasn't gone back to his hometown of Baltimore since arriving at Arkansas in June. Linebacker Alonzo Highsmith has been away nearly as long, too, saying he planned to spend the break with his mother in Florida.
"I'm looking forward to just going home," Highsmith said last week. "Just to go see my mom. I haven't seen her for awhile."
Highsmith left for Florida soon after Arkansas players were released on Wednesday. He wasn't alone. The Razorbacks hit the road quickly, trying to maximize every second of free time.
"As soon as coach gives you the OK to go home, there's going to be people flying out of every door of the locker room," guard Alvin Bailey, an Oklahoma native, predicted before practice ended. "Everybody is ready to get out of here."
But players aren't the only ones who were looking forward to some down time for Christmas.
Arkansas' coaches, who spent most of December on the road recruiting, studying Kansas State in the film room, putting together a Cotton Bowl gameplan and working with the Razorbacks on the practice field, are getting reacquainted with their families for a few days as well.
New defensive tackles coach Kevin Peoples, who was promoted to a coaching staff position earlier this month after working as director of high school relations for two years, said his plans were pretty simple this Christmas.
"I'm going to sleep," Peoples said. "I've been on the road and trying to get ready for this bowl game, so there's been a lot of learning with everything that's gone on.
"I'm looking for a few days off to relax."
Petrino said the Christmas break will be a good chance for everyone to recharge before getting serious regarding preparation for Kansas State.
The Razorbacks will return to Fayetteville on Monday and are back at practice Tuesday, kicking off a four-day stretch on the field. The plan then will be repeated when Arkansas reports to Arlington on Dec. 31 and practices Jan. 1.
To make sure players are prepared, Petrino handed out homework, of sorts, for the holidays.
"We gave them a couple workouts to do to make sure that they don't lose any conditioning," Petrino said. "Most of them will do that. They've been good. They understand we're going to crank the dial up a little bit when they come back."
Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson said the Razorbacks are well aware. The goal this weekend — and today, Christmas day, especially — is to relax and celebrate some time with family.
But it won't be long until the Razorbacks are back on the practice field, grinding away once again in preparation for the season finale.
"I'll have 3 or 4 days at home and enjoy that time with the family and also work out a little bit," said Wilson, a Greenwood native. "It's important that you stay in shape and don't come back here sloppy and not throwing the ball real crisp. So I'm going to have a Merry Christmas and I'm going to have some fun work, too."
Bequette familiar with KSU
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive end Jake Bequette has some interesting ties to Kansas State.
The Wildcats were the first Football Bowl Subdivision team to offer Bequette a scholarship when he was in high school at Little Rock Catholic. It's only fitting, then, that the senior's career will end with the Razorbacks playing Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 6.
"It's kind of funny how it kind of comes back to that," said Bequette, who said he had offers from Kansas State, Mississippi State and then Arkansas.
Bequette was recruited by former Kansas State coach Ron Prince, who coached at the school for three seasons before being fired in 2008. Arkansas running backs coach Tim Horton was on Prince's staff at Kansas State the first season and joked that the offer from the Wildcats is what helped Bequette land at Arkansas in 2006.
"I think I got Jake the scholarship to Arkansas because once K-State offered, then Arkansas offered," Horton said. "So I give Jake a hard time about that."
Bequette said he had "a pretty easy choice," when Arkansas did offer a scholarship under previous coach Houston Nutt. He has started 41 of 47 games in his career and ranks third on the school's sacks list (21.5).
But what if Bequette hadn't received an offer from the Razorbacks? Would he be playing his final game as a Wildcat against his home state school?
"Let's not even go there," Bequette said.
Paul still chasing?
Arkansas offensive coordinator Paul Petrino had a reputation for chasing receivers during his first stint with the Razorbacks, running on their heels if they failed to sprint downfield after catching a pass.
Petrino is coaching quarterbacks, not receivers, in his return to the Razorbacks this month. So Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson was asked if Petrino was chasing them on the field during bowl practices.
"We throw it and we stand there, so he doesn't have very far to run," Wilson said. "But he had us run after practice if that's any consolation.
"He chased me when we were running after practice."
Perfect end
Cornerback Isaac Madison is one of several seniors who will play their final game on Jan. 6. But Madison isn't just wrapping up his Arkansas career in the Cotton Bowl — he gets to end his college career at home.
"It's going to feel real good," said Madison, who played at Dallas' Carter High. "It's a blessing to still be playing here for the University of Arkansas. I don't think there would be a greater way for me to end my career here being in any other town being from Dallas."
Madison has started 25 games in his career, logging 92 tackles and an interception. He has 26 tackles this season, limited to nine games because of injuries.
Madison, who redshirted the 2009 season after suffering a preseason knee injury, is the only current Razorback who stepped on the field in Arkansas' last Cotton Bowl appearance on Jan. 1, 2008. Then a freshman, Madison logged no statistics during the 38-7 loss to Missouri.
No cold bowls
One of Arkansas' goals for the postseason has been pretty clear the past couple of years — don't be subjected to conditions as frigid as the 2009 Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
Players were rewarded with a game in a controlled environment in the Louisiana Superdome last January. This year, the Razorbacks will be indoors again now that the Cotton Bowl has moved into Cowboys Stadium.
"Let's not go back anywhere up north," Wilson said. "Let's stay in the south where all the big bowls are.
"I don't know if the weather was the indicator there. I think moreso we want to be successful. We've obviously had a chance to do that the last couple years."
Rising value
Arkansas' spot among the top 10 of the BCS isn't the only sign the Razorbacks are on the rise under Petrino.
The Razorbacks also have the eighth-most valuable football program in the country, according to a study by Forbes.com. The publication estimated Arkansas' current value at $89 million and has experienced an impressive 59 percent growth in value since the 2009 season.
The growth can be attributed to several factors, according to Forbes.com. It includes the program's first trip to a BCS game, increased television and multi-media rights fees and increased football ticket revenue.
Forbes rankings for programs were based on four areas during the study: value to its university, value to its athletic department, value to the conference, and value to the surrounding community.
Practice plans
Arkansas will return from Christmas break Monday, then step back out on the practice field Tuesday. It will be the first of four workouts on campus before the Razorbacks board a bus and head to Arlington.
Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said the first two weeks of bowl practices were aimed at individual drills.
"We really went back and did a lot of the individual drills, a lot of the group drills that we do in spring ball, in two-a-days and really just to get back into the swing of being a football player," Petrino said. "We kind of put the preparation for the game a little bit, you know, until we come back from Christmas."
The Razorbacks will now start targeting its gameplan for Kansas State, treating this as game week. Arkansas will then have a chance to fine-tune it in Arlington.

With just eight months to go before the Winter Olympics, two-time Olympic hurdler LoLo Jones posted a Vine video on Monday jokingly complaining about her $741.84 check from the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation, which decides pay based on performance results.
"Several months with bobsled season. The whole season. That's it. I'm going to be a little late on my rent this month," Jones wrote.
Fellow bobsledder Steven Holcomb called Jones' comments "a slap in the face."
"It wasn't taken very well," he told USA Today. "People were really kind of insulted. You just made $741, more than most athletes in the sport. So what are you complaining about? The way it came across to a lot of the athletes here was kind of snobby because she's one of the most well-known athletes in the world and she's making pretty good money in endorsements. And to basically turn around and slap us in the face because you didn't make any money this year in bobsledding while taking money from other athletes? She slapped pretty much every athlete in the U.S. federation in the face. That was the general consensus."
Jones attempted some damage control Monday night, explaining how the Vine was meant to draw attention to the larger issue at hand. "I didn't want to offend anyone, and I've always wanted to help out my bobsled teammates," a statement from Jones read. "Some of them have debt because they've given their life to the sport. My partner Jazmine [Fenlator] and I had to raise money for the bobsled to be funded just to finish the season, because only two of the three sleds are funded by the team. I can't imagine halfway through my track season having to stop and raise money to finish.
"The Vine of the paycheck is just showing the difference between track and bobsled, and to be honest, bobsledders work more hours than track! The bottom line is that all Olympic athletes dedicate their lives to their sports and do not receive lucrative paychecks like athletes in mainstream professional sports. So hopefully this will make people appreciate just how hard Olympians work, often just for the love of the sport," Jones concluded.
While many bobsledders were still rankled by Jones' comments, one of her teammates, Elana Meyers, was grateful that Jones put the issue out there. "thanks for bringing the issues to light! Bobsledders aren't high paid pro athletes like you see on tv," Meyers tweeted.

the only thing better than Mafia
Wars on Facebook (which boast 25 million players,
reportedly)? Real life Mafia on Facebook.Yes,
contradictory to movie depictions of the
Italian mob as fearful of technology due to the danger of
surveillance, some members of the real life Italian Mafia are keeping
it in the family on Facebook. Apparently the Mafiosi share the
same addiction to the world's top website and largest social network
that the rest
of us do.That addiction led to this week's arrest
of mobster Pasquale Manfredi. Manfredi, 33 years-old, was
the boss of the notorious 'Ndrangheta mafia organization from the
Calabria region in southern Italy.In Mafia circles, Manfredi
was known as "Scarface". Like Al Pacino's fictional
crook who shares the same nickname, Manfredi was a murderous
psychotic with a lust for heavy weaponry. Manfredi is facing a
laundry list of charges in Italy, including multiple counts of
murder, Mafia associations, and drug violations. However, his
highest profile and flashiest charge is the murder of a rival Mafia
family member in 2002 using a rocket launcher.Manfredi
reportedly loved Facebook and had over 200 friends. He would
regularly log in from his safe house where he was hiding from police
and chat with his buddies. He went by the name "Georgie"
and logged in, reportedly, using a pre-paid wireless internet
thumb-drive. In the end, his frequent chats
allowed police to locate his secret hideout and storm it. When
the police made their entry, Manfredi reportedly had just been in the
middle of an intense Facebooking session. He tried to flee to
the rooftop, where he was apprehended.The Italian authorities
are thrilled to finally have the dangerous criminal in custody.
They're also investigating his Facebook friends list to see if it
provides clues that would help them track down other fugitive Mafia
members.This all goes to show that a) criminals are pretty
stupid and b) Facebook
can be hazardous.

Capital Chatter: Vikings say seat licenses were part of the deal
ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Vikings say Gov. Mark Dayton and others are jumping the gun in criticizing the idea of selling pricey seats to some season-ticket holders.
In strong language, Dayton wrote to Vikings owners complaining about their interest in selling high-priced seat licenses to raise money that would count toward the team's contribution to a new nearly $1 billion stadium. He said he wanted a "people's stadium," not "a rich people's stadium."
The Vikings and legislative Republicans said the personal seat license provision was included in a bill that Dayton, a Democrat, pushed and signed earlier this year.
Dayton sent his letter after the team began surveying season-ticket holders about their interest in seat licenses. A Vikings official on Friday said the team probably should have told Dayton and others before the survey went out.
The Vikings say no decisions have been made about whether to sell seat licenses.
Balancing act
Incoming Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk put together a leadership trio representing a wide demographic range and gave greater Minnesota senators a bit of an edge as committee chairmen.
The Cook Democrat is a white rural resident and veteran lawmaker, Assistant Majority Leader Katie Sieben of Cottage Grove is a suburban woman with moderate legislative experience and Deputy Majority Leader Jeff Hayden of Minneapolis is a black man and a relative newcomer.
Senators from outside the Twin Cities lead in committee chairmanships with eight. Six suburban lawmakers will take over committees in January, along with five from Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Less experienced
Rep. Kurt Daudt will lead Minnesota House Republicans next year, his second term in the Legislature.
But Robbie LaFleur of the Legislative Reference Library reports other lawmakers were leaders in their second terms: Anton Rockne, Henry Rines and Thomas Girling, were named caucus leaders in the early 1900s. In the 1800s, several representatives became House speaker in their first or second terms.
Rep. George Wilson became majority leader in his first term, in 1903.
A broadband view
More rural Minnesotans can get onto the Internet at high speeds than in the recent past, but a gap remains between them and those who live in the Twin Cities.
A report from the Center for Rural Policy and Development released at the Blandin Foundation's annual conference on broadband access showed three of four Minnesota homes have broadband Internet service (the kind faster than dial-up). In rural parts of the state, 71 percent of homes had the faster service, compared to 80 percent in the Twin Cities.
The study found that rural Internet users can conduct routine activities such as checking email and news, but activities that need more bandwidth are not as likely. For instance, streaming video online is not possible in much of rural Minnesota.
The study also showed that a lack of good wireless Internet connections put rural Minnesota at a disadvantage.
"Businesses do everything on the Internet these days, and distance learning and remote health care are being held up as solutions for educator and doctor shortages in rural areas, but many communities still don't have the Internet capacity to handle the kind of data flows these uses call for," said Marnie Werner, research manager at the center and chief author of the study.
Chamber, unions combine
The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and Building and Construction Trades Council are working together to promote jobs, especially mining jobs in northern Minnesota.
Harry Melander, president of the union council, said metals mining, as proposed in the northeast part of the state, is a key to creating more jobs.
Estimates indicate more than 4 billion tons of metals such as copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, cobalt and gold are ready to be mined.
'Grow economy'
Cities from around Minnesota decided economic development is their top legislative priority.
Members of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities made that decision in an Alexandria meeting.
"Now that the election is over and we know who our legislators will be, the CGMC is laying out proposals that will help our cities grow and prosper," said CGMC President Bruce Ahlgren, mayor of Cloquet. "In 2013, greater Minnesota will be making it clear that our needs will no longer take a back seat to the metro area."
The coalition plans to lobby for programs targeted at their cities, including proposals to increase availability of money for new businesses, a new greater Minnesota employee training program and a proposal to provide incentives for greater Minnesota employers to hire interns from Minnesota colleges.
"Last year, the Legislature focused its efforts on bringing economic development to the Twin Cities by providing funding for the Vikings and Saints stadiums," Ahlgren said.
Restroom talk
Sen. Amy Klobuchar hit the national media as Congress began its lame duck session, but not for discussing budget woes.
It started when the Minnesota Democrat tweeted: "New senators here. W/20 women we had our first-ever in U.S. history traffic jam in women senators' restroom."
News organization from the Washington Post on down picked up on that tweet and comments she later made at the Newseum.
There will be a record 20 women senators in the next Congress.
It was not just women talking about restrooms. The subject also was on the mind of U.S. Rep.-elect Rick Nolan, D-Minn., who is returning to Washington after being gone three decades.
"Seniority is not just a function of years but of years of experience and knowing how the process works. That's a huge benefit," he told the Duluth News Tribune. "I don't start out at ground zero, looking for the men's room."
Bills feels ignored
Kurt Bills is not getting back into politics, at least any time soon, but he still has thoughts about it.
The Republican U.S. Senate candidate who lost to Sen. Amy Klobuchar by 35 points is not happy with his party for not providing its full support.
"If we don't become the party of addition and multiplication we will become the party of division and subtraction," he said in his concession speech. "It's time to start learning that once you have that endorsement process you come together and run against the opponent. The opponent is the blue guys."
Bills told Nathan Hansen of the Rosemount TownPages that statewide media did not take him seriously.
"He patterned his campaign explicitly after the campaign of Paul Wellstone, down to replicating one of Wellstone's commercials," Hansen wrote. "But where Wellstone was treated as a scrappy underdog, Bills often felt ignored."
On the other hand, as one Capitol reporter wrote, Wellstone had built his name in an earlier unsuccessful run for statewide office and met with the media often.
Bills' campaign refused to allow a Star Tribune reporter a pre-election interview. When Forum Communications tried to arrange a time to follow him on the campaign trail after a one-hour interview, the campaign offered to allow coverage of a 10-minute speech.
The campaign seldom told reporters where the candidate would be.
At the same time, Klobuchar allowed news reporters with statewide audiences to follow her for hours, including in-depth interviews with her between stops.
Bills appears happy to be back teaching full time, after limiting himself to teaching only an early-morning class during the campaign.
"He is happy being what he describes as a shooting star rather than a guiding light in Minnesota politics," Hansen wrote.


text: It looks like it's a thin line between forced annexation and conquering. I know that there was no war between the two, but I always got the impression the Cardassians forced themselves on Bajor. I looked it up and can't find a definite explanation of exactly how it happened. But if the Bajorans said something like, 'please leave us now', and the Cardassians continued anyway, then the Cardassians violated Bajor's sovereignty. The Federation says it all happened within Cardassia, so they can't/won't help. So here's the flip side; The Dominion war is going badly. Everyone is getting pissed off that the Romulans won't do anything.(The Romulans already signed a treaty with the Dominion.) Sisko knows the Romulans are going to mind their own business, but after Betazed falls, he decides to convince the Romulans to join the war on their side. When they said no, Sisko then decides he going to trick them into going to war. With Starfleet's blessing. Hypocrisy, or something totally different?

Tooltip in bad position
Hello. My tooltip is working good, Unless I'm visiting a specific page in my website.
In this specific page, I have this code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> // Kick off the jQuery with the document ready function on page load $(document).ready(function(){ imagePreview(); }); // Configuration of the x and y offsets this.imagePreview = function(){ xOffset = 500; yOffset = -300; }; </script>
But as soon as this code in, my tooltip is going to this position too.

Im not even sure how that's working, because this.imagePreview has no parent so "this" isnt part of any object that i can see ( I suppose it refers to the document itself in this syntax, and in that case you appear to be redifining imagePreview).
that aside, you probably need to show us the previewimage functions

Dodge Durango Electrical System Problems

unc_jake Posts: 1My 2005 Durango has some weird electrical problems going on with it. It started out with the front blower unit quitting working. Soon after, the radio quit (completely), power door locks quit (unless the key is in the on position), windshield washer fluid pump (completely). When you turn the key off, its as if you unhooked the battery. All power to the entire durango stops. Any ideas on what could be the problem. Is it the ECM? :confuse:

dodgefan25 Posts: 1Hello fellow dodge drivers, I would like to first say i've been a chysler owner for 5 years now, and ive always liked there products, I recently bought a 2006 dodge durango with the 5.7 hemi. First month i owned this truck I loved it, then the 2nd month it started to skip ocasionally. Took it to the dealer they said it was a bad coil pack, they replaced it and on my way home it started skipping again. So I then take it to another shop they fixed a bad wire and sent me on my way, on the way home it started skipping again. I take it back to the shop the next day where they ran some tests and found I had a bad pcm (computer). Ive had this vehicle for 4 months and I have over $1000.00 into it. I talked to the dealer and they said that there was a 80000 mile waranty on it. Which i didnt know. So now its been three weeks and i still dont have my vehicle because the part is on national back order.
slomo2 Posts: 1I have the exact same problem!
How did you fix it?
shannel28 Posts: 1I was driving a few months ago and my radio stop working along with the back windshield wiper, and interior lights. Just recently my turn signals have stop working the signal light does not come on inside nor outside. All the fuses are fine I just don't know where to look or who I should be calling to have it fix. Does anyone else know?
2004dodgeowner Posts: 1did you solve this problem? If so, what did you do?
Thanks for the info!
I am also having the same problem with a 2005 durango.. Did you fix your problem??
I just purchased a new battery in June, because dealer said battery was reading dead. Since i put in new battery, everything fine except no cd player on radio. Then 9/2/ car 100 % dead again.. This time 24 hrs before when got in unlocked car horn went on and stayed on after car was started and put in gear and was driven several feet. The drove it about 50 miles before battery went dead. It is like something is drainging the battery.. Any ideas before I take it to the garage and they rip me off??
jcubed3 Posts: 1Shannel,
You probably ARE blowing a fuse....just not one that is in the fuse box that is on the drivers side dash...you have probably blown a MAIN 40AMP fues in the box over the drivers side Wheel under the hood! I ran into a similar issue. I blew the 40 AMP main and all that stuff wouldnt work...I replaced the fuse and would blow it a few days (maybe minutes) later.
The problem was that I actually USE my emergency brake when I park in my driveway. There is a bundle of wires that are right next to the gear teeth on the top of of the E-Brake pedal Over the years...those wires rubbed against the gear-teeth until the insulation wore off. Then when I applied the E-Brake....sometimes it would short that wire ...blow the main fuse...and ALL the stuff you listed....wouldnt work anymore.
Solution: Cover the exposed wire with electrical tape. ZIP-TIE the bundle further up in the dash....replace the MAIN fuse. No problems since.
Good luck!
Sorry, I have no advice ... but I'm having very similar problems, so if you figure it out, please let me know - and I will do the same!
My 98 Durango drains the battery every time it sits for more than a couple hours. Took it to a shop who couldn't find anything wrong, despite spending around 10 hours on it. For now, we are unhooking the battery EVERY TIME we shut it off for more than a few minutes, but that's a pain in the butt and I'm sure it's not good for the battery, either. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
repair56 Posts: 1Pull the plug on rear wiper motor, It does not complete its cycle and continues to draw current, about 8 amps and will kill battery in a few hours to a day and also check light under hood by pulling connector off and check fuse #12 inside fusebox in truck and replace if blown after doing the above. These 2 items, rear wiper and under hood light fix a lot of electrical problems when disconnected. Interior lights start working and radio starts to keep proper time, etc. etc. Hope this helps.
Wow - thanks a bunch! The hood light hasn't worked in a while, but the rear wiper was just as you described - about halfway through it's cycle. So I unplugged it, and so far it's been a little less than a week with no battery drain! I can't tell you how excited we are - this has been a constant pain in the butt for MONTHS now. Once again - THANK YOU very much! It's amazing that something that has been so vexing for us can have such a simple solution...
jveigli Posts: 1I see this problem happened quite a while ago. Now my vehicle is doing this also. Does anyone know what the solution was? I hope its not one of the control modules.
boydf Posts: 2Simular Problem have had my 2000 durango for 3 months no problems at all until tonight. Drove the Durango to the store came out dashlights where acting not normal and the truck would not start. I tried jump starting the truck it would start immediately but than die just as quickly. The Durango is still in the store parking lot, after reading some of these post I am curious if it will start now that it has sat for a few hours. My initial thoughts was a bad alternator, but I have never seen one go out so absolute so quickly.
dwgreen Posts: 4My rear hatch was going up, hit the garge door and came back down. Now it won't lift out at all. I've disconnected the battery as a reset but it still won't work.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. My blower went out, turn signals do not work, and the radio as well. The radio and turn signals go on and off. Do you know what this could be? Some please help! My durango has been in the shop 4 times now.
johnny717 Posts: 1Have a 2004 Durango Hemi, never had a problem with the radio...now, just changed alternator and radio now turns on, crackles, speakers play for about 15 seconds, then crackle again, and sound/speakers cut out. The radio appears to work perfectly, but without sound! I can shut it on and off but sound will not come out of speakers. BUT, this repeats every time I shut car off and restart it for another trip? I tried playing radio on just battery (without alternator running) and the same thing happens..Anyone have a clue?
Thanks, J
verah Posts: 1This happened to my Durango. I took it in and they had to replace both side lift gate shocks. This solved the problem. It was under warranty so I have no clue of the charge - sorry.

tnboyinal Posts: 2My 2001 Durango acts like the battery is low when starting the truck and then starts. The battery, alternator and charging system check out good at the autoparts store. One time the vehical would not start at all and the solenoid just clicked...i.e. like a dead/low battery, then an hour later started and had trouble running. Went straight to the auto parts store for a new battery and all checked out fine. Could it be a weak starter?
karismith Posts: 1THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL COME ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING. (BOTH THE PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDES LIGHTS SEEM TO ALTERNATE.) THIS TIME ALSO THE 4 WHEEL LOCK LIGHT BLINKED ON & OFF DURING THE 50 MILE TRIP GOING 70 MPH. WHEN I TURNED ON MY WIPERS THERE WAS A CHIME/DING. ONCE WHEN I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW THE WIPERS CAME ONE. ANOTHER TRIP TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ACTING UP & I TURNED ON MY BLINKER TO CHANGE LANES THE WIPERS CAME ON. I ALSO JUST REALIZED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I HAVE TO MANUALLY DO IT NOW. ALSO IT USED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE DOORS WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND THAT HAS
BEEN ACTING UP PERIODICALLY. THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED, I JUST TOOK IT TO BRIGGS DODGE IN TOPEKA, KS AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THESE ISSUES AND SHOW NOTHING WHEN THEY HOOKED IT UP. THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS A "STAR CASE" ON FILE AND THAT STATES THAT DRIVERS ARE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS TO OCCUR. (i totally disagree& think this is a cop out) THEY ARE TELLING ME I GENERATE TOO MUCH STATIC ELECTRICITY! HUH? I FIND THIS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED AND FRUSTRATED. I GUESS WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM ONE OF THESE FAILING, THEN MAYBE THEY WILL OWN UP TO THE PROBLEMS AND FIX THEM. PLEASE HELP! WHAT DOES ANYBODY ON HERE THINK? THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES WHEN I SEARCHED THE WEB. WHAT SHOULD I DO? JUST START LOOKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE OR IS THERE A FIX OUT THERE?
littlefingers Posts: 1I have a 2000 Dodge durango and for some reason the engine will not shift correctly pass 40 mph...it feels like it is always pulling. I got a code reading from Advance Auto and it said that I need a speed sensor but when I took the SUV to a couple of transmission mechanics they said I need a whole new transmission!! Also, here lately I have a hard time trying to start my vehicle. It clicks for about 10- 15 mins before it turns over...again Advance showed that there was nothing wrong with the solenoid, starter, alternator or battery. Anyone having the same problems...if so, what has been your remedy? I am trying to see if the problems that I am having are worth fixing or should I just trade the darn thing in for something else before I have to spend any more major money!
nikki1985 Posts: 2Ok, so I have a 2004 dodge Durango. I keep up with the maintenance but I keep having this issue where my battery dies. At first it was the alternator. So I got that replaced. So I started to notice that my radio would stay on once I pulled the key out and lock the door. At first I didn't pay it any mind until I go to start my truck and it wouldn't turn over. So after I got a jump I ran the car for 15 minutes and drove it around. So I started to take the face off the radio. That seemed to work for a while. Now I am having the same issue and I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me???? I am beyond frustrated and I have put well over 6000 dollars into this vehicle. But now it seems to be for nothing..... Help please!!!!!!!
When I had a similar problem with my 1998 Durango, it turned out to be my rear wiper- even though it was off, it never actually shut itself off. We had to take apart the interior panel of the hatch, and just disconnected the wiper. So we don't have a rear wiper now, but we haven't had a battery problem since.
Hope that helps.
patrick84 Posts: 1Did you figure out the issue nikki I am having the same problem
tmartin63 Posts: 19You have an electrical short somewhere in the vehicle. Bring it to a shop that is skilled in diagnosing electrical problems. It should not cost you more than $100 ti diagnose (not repair) the problem. If they try to charge you more than that to diagnose go to another shop. Good Luck!

Each time I run the install of 9.0.114.000 over my previous version of ZAES on XPsp3, I hang at 6% while copying vsdataold.dll
I tried uninstalling ZAES which warned me about quarantined files; I let it delete them.
During the fresh install I hung at 18% while copying zlquarantine.dll
Each hang had 100% CPU utilization and no disk I/O and I let one hang run for an hour.
I tried the same install EXE on another system and the upgrade worked OK.
What should my next step be?

Morgan returns to Reds as advisor
Hall of Famer takes position in club's front office
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- During his lengthy second career as a game analyst at ESPN, Hall of Famer Joe Morgan complained often about the steady decline of African-Americans in Major League Baseball and youth baseball. On Wednesday, Morgan strived to become a man of action, and he's doing it as part of the team with which he had the best years of his playing career. Morgan, 66, joined the Reds as a special advisor to baseball operations. The move was announced during a news conference at Great American Ball Park. "It's very easy for me to sit on television and talk about it," Morgan said about the thinning ranks of African-American ballplayers. "I wanted to help try to change that. The Reds have already been trying to change that. I felt like I could help that." Morgan will have a role in both the baseball and business side of the Reds. His most extensive work will likely be in community outreach and diversity initiatives. He'll also support the efforts of the Reds Community Fund and Reds Hall of Fame. There are times when Morgan will be consulted by general manager Walt Jocketty on baseball decisions or players on the team. "I think when you get an opportunity to bring someone like Joe into the organization -- with his success as a Hall of Famer, a former MVP -- all you have to do is listen to one of his ESPN telecasts to realize how much he knows about this game," Jocketty said. "I look forward to picking his brain at different situations, about players." And that's not all. "I want to do some games with Marty and Thom [Brennaman] here," Morgan said. "I got some permission from ESPN to broadcast some games here. I'm going to be a guest, not really part of the broadcast team." When Morgan decided he wanted to return to his former club, he first called Hall of Fame radio voice Marty Brennaman for advice. Morgan's second call was to Reds chief operating officer Phil Castellini. The two men have spoken before, but this wasn't a social call. "This was a different kind of phone call from Joe," Castellini said. "It was one that was genuinely wanting to reach out and see what he could do to help the Cincinnati Reds." In a 22-season career from 1963-84, where he established himself as one of the best second basemen of all time, Morgan batted .271 with 268 home runs and 1,133 RBIs. He was a 10-time All-Star, including eight straight with the Reds, and a five-time Gold Glove Award winner. Morgan's most prolific period came as a member of the Big Red Machine in Cincinnati from 1972-79, where he won World Series titles with the team in 1975-76 and was the National League Most Valuable Player during both seasons. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990. For the past two decades, Morgan has been a fixture on ESPN as a game analyst for Sunday Night Baseball. He is remaining with the cable network and doing his work for the Reds in a part-time capacity. Morgan, who is also opening a car dealership in the area, didn't believe there would be a conflict of interest in working for the Reds and calling games. Currently, the Reds are not on the Sunday Night Baseball 2010 schedule. "I'm not making baseball decisions here," Morgan said. "I will be doing stuff in the business world. Yes, I will be around. If Walt wants to ask me a question about one of the Reds players, I will be glad to answer it. If you want to know the truth, I've been doing that for teams for a hundred years. I have owners who call and ask me about players." In his years after retirement, Morgan had stayed away from the Reds and their former ownership, which often showed little affinity for its former players and history. In recent years, he's gradually rekindled his relationship with the team by attending Spring Training as a special instructor. He was also at an announcement earlier this month for the Civil Rights Game in Cincinnati on May 15. "I hope I can make this a better community," Morgan said as he choked up with emotion. "Again, I hope I can help the Reds. They've already had these things going. I just hope I can push these things through in the community. That's why I'm here." Why is being in Cincinnati so special for Morgan? "[Johnny] Bench, [Pete] Rose, [Tony] Perez, [George] Foster, [Ken] Griffey, [Dave] Concepcion -- all of those guys. That's the main reason," he replied. "Some of the greatest times in my life were spent here. This was a great place for me. "I guess you can say it's a labor of love for me being involved in the community. I work in the community in California where I grew up. This is kind of my second home."

Now getting close enough to see all the details doesn't mean you have to give up the convenience of having a pocket-sized camera that's easy to carry everywhere. The Canon PowerShot Elph 520 HS, the world's slimmest 12X zoom camera, has arrived. This camera packs a lot of power in its slim frame. An advanced CMOS sensor gives you sharp detailed photos, even in low light. And the DIGIC 5 image processor makes the camera fast and responsive, so you can get crisp photos even when your subject is on the move.
Optical image stabilization helps counteract unsteady hands so you can snap clear, sharp images. The camera is full of great features, including 58 scene modes for just about every occasion. High burst mode lets you shoot up to 6.8 frames a second at key moments to make sure you don't miss that great shot. And if you'd like to shoot video instead, you can switch over and capture beautiful 1080p HD video to play on your TV. (HDMI cable required, not included.)
Outstanding camera for the price, takes incredible pics at decent distance away. Minimal use needed of manual to edit/delete pics and upload onto laptop, CD software may not be needed on most computers. The rechargeable battery is another nice feature.

Inputs and Outputs Notes
Supplied Software
LCD Monitor: The Canon PowerShot ELPH 520 HS has a 3" TFT LCD monitor, featuring 461,000 dots with approximately 100% picture coverage and a 5-level brightness adjustment. The Night Display feature automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject in dark conditions.
Image Sensor/Processor: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with 16.8-million total pixels, and 10.1-million effective pixels. Together, the 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 5 processor make up the Canon HS System, which delivers clear, blur-free shots indoors or in low light up to ISO 3200.
Optics: The ELPH 520 HS has a 12x optical zoom lens with a 4.0-48mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 28-336mm).
Zoom: In addition to the 12x optical zoom, the camera features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is approximately 48x. The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom together is approximately 28-1344mm.
Digital Teleconverter: The focal length of the lens can be increased by an equivalent of 1.4x or 2.3x through the use of the Digital Teleconverter. The equivalent focal lengths of the lens (35mm equivalent) are 39.2-470mm when using the 1.4x digital teleconverter, and 64.4-773mm with the 2.3x teleconverter. The digital zoom and digital teleconverter cannot be used simultaneously.
Recording Media: The camera records still images or moving images with stereo audio on microSD Memory Cards (2GB or less), microSDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and microSDXC Memory Cards (32GB and higher). The camera does not have internal memory, nor does it include a microSD card, so you will be required to obtain a memory card before recording.
Still Image Resolution/Compression: The ELPH 520 HS can record still images in JPEG format in 4 different sizes (Large, Medium 1, Medium 2, and Small) and 4 aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1).

You can also shoot in Standard Definition at 640 x 480 pixels (30 fps). Recording will automatically stop when either the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 30 minutes. Other movie options include iFrame Movie, Movie Digest, Miniature Effect, and Super Slow Motion Movie.
Image Stabilization: The ELPH 520 HS is equipped with optical (lens-shift type) image stabilization. To correct the effects of camera shake, you can choose from the following Image Stabilization settings:
Face Detection Technology: The camera's Face Detection Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed. Smart Shutter automatically shoots a picture after detecting a smile, even without pressing the shutter release button.
Auto Focus Lock: If it becomes difficult to focus on the subject due to low contrast to the surroundings, close up and far away subjects in the same shot, or quickly moving subjects, you can choose to lock the focus or auto focus on an object at a similar distance, then shoot the picture after recomposing the shot.
Focusing Range: The camera features the following focus ranges (from the end of the lens):
Shooting Modes: Using the two-way switch on the top of the camera, you can select between the Smart Auto mode and other shooting modes. In the Smart Auto mode, the camera will automatically select the best settings for the scene, detect and focus on faces, and set the color and brightness to optimal levels. Other shooting modes to choose from include: Program, Movie Digest, Portrait, Smooth Skin, Smart Shutter, High-Speed Burst, Handheld Night Scene, Low Light, Fish-Eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Soft Focus, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Color Accent, Color Swap, Underwater, Snow, Fireworks, Long Shutter, Stitch Assist, iFrame movie, and Super Slow Motion Movie.
Continuous Shooting: In the Continuous Shooting mode, the camera will take pictures at approximately 2.8 frames per second, as long as you hold down the shutter button. The image size is not limited, and the focus and exposure are determined when you press the shutter button halfway. Continuous Shooting AF will focus for each frame. Continuous Shooting LV mode fixes the focus at the position determined in AF Lock. The High-Speed Burst mode lets you shoot a series of shots in rapid succession (about 6.8 fps) by holding the shutter button down fully. The resolution is fixed to 1824 x 1368, and the focus, image brightness, and color are determined by the first shot.
Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:
Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments.
Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set the focus and exposure separately to shoot. When the exposure is set, you can lock the setting, then compose the scene and shoot. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure for shooting with the flash.
White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, and Custom.
Flash Modes: The PowerShot ELPH 520 HS has a built-in flash with a range of 1.6' to 8.2' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 4.9' in Telephoto. You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), On (flash always fires), Slow Synchro (illuminates subject in foreground while the slow shutter speed brightens the background not reached by the flash), or Off (flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken.
ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 or 3200. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions. Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred images. The images, however, will appear more coarse.
My Colors: You can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by using My Colors to add the following effects to the image you are currently recording or have already recorded: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, B/W, Positive Film, Lighter Skin, Darker Skin, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, and Custom Color.
Self-Timer: The ELPH 520 HS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and a custom self-timer to allow the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots.
Wink Self Timer: In addition to the standard and custom self-timers, the ELPH 520 HS can be set to record an image of a person approximately two seconds after detecting a wink.
Face Self-Timer: The Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces, and makes the appropriate adjustments. When the Face Detection Self-Timer is set, the camera waits for the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. The camera will shoot, two seconds after the new face is detected.
Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. You can set the playback time for each image, and the transition effects when switching between images. If desired, you can repeat the slide show automatically.
Index Display: This feature allows you to view 4 to 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index playback mode.
Magnifying Images: Using the zoom button, you can magnify a photo up to 10x. Once zoomed in, you can use the "arrow" buttons to move around the displayed area.
Playback Displays: You can choose from three types of displays:
Resizing Images: You can save images a lower recording pixel setting than the original image, saving the resized image as a separate file.
Trimming: You can cut out a portion of a recorded image and save it as a new image file.
Protecting Images: The protect feature allows you to protect important images from accidental erasure. You can protect images by the image itself or select All Images.
PictBridge: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer of any brand. You can also connect the camera directly to certain Canon SELPHY compact photo printers and PIXMA inkjet photo printers. In this way, you can make prints directly from the camera without having to connect to a computer.
Power Requirements: The Canon PowerShot ELPH 520 HS is powered by the supplied NB-9L Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack (3.5 Volts / 870 mAh). A fully charged battery pack can provide power for up to approximately 190 shots, 30 minutes of movie shooting time, or 4 hours of playback time. The NB-9L is charged in approximately 110 minutes in the supplied CB-2LB battery charger.
Date/Time Battery: The camera uses a backup battery for maintaining the date and time data for approximately 3 weeks. The backup battery charges in approximately 4 hours while a charged main battery (NB-9L) is inserted, or the camera is connected to an external AC adapter.
AC Adapter: If you need to operate the camera for long periods of time during a slide show or when connected to a printer, it is recommended to use the optional ACK-DC70 AC Adapter Kit.
Power Saving Functions: The camera is equipped with the following power saving functions:
Note: The Power Saving Function will not activate during a slide show or while the camera is connected to a computer.
A/V Out / Digital Terminal: The camera has a Mini-B Version 2.0 USB terminal to allow you to connect the camera to a compatible computer or compatible Canon printer via the supplied USB cable. This USB 2.0 Hi-Speed-compatible terminal allows you to rapidly download images to your computer or printer. You can also connect the camera to a TV (via composite video and stereo audio) using the optional AVC-DC400ST A/V cable in the same terminal. The A/V output can be set to NTSC or PAL as needed.
HDMI: The camera has a mini-HDMI output for connecting it to an HDTV. A mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable, such as the optional Canon HTC-100 (item # 280HTC100) is required. When the camera is connected to an HDMI-CEC-compatible TV, you can control the camera's functions with the TV remote.
Included Software: The PowerShot ELPH 520 HS comes supplied with the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk Version 110.0 CD-ROM. It contains the following programs:

They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
While preparing for a trip to Scotland and England, I started looking for an ultra-compact camera with a respectable zoom range that could easily be stuffed into a pocket. I love my trusty Canon PowerShot G11, but it was just a little too bulky, and it has a somewhat limited 5X zoom. I wanted something truly tiny with a big telephoto zoom that would let me get close to distant subjects, as well as a reasonable amount of wide-angle capability to capture castle dungeon interiors. Oh, and I didn't want to spend a lot. Is that too much to ask?
I found all that, and more, in the Canon PowerShot 520 HS. In addition to meeting all of the initial requirements, this little shooter has a big, bright 3" LCD screen. I discovered that the screen didn't wash out too easily either, even when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight (somewhat of a rarity in Great Britain). I was also surprised and impressed by its speed. Even when we were whipping around London on the top of a double-decker bus, I was able to get off plenty of crisply focused shots in quick succession. And that 12X telephoto zoom came in very handy for those long-distance close-ups of Big Ben. Almost all of my photos turned out far beyond my expectations.
The size of this camera may be an issue for folks with large hands. Its controls are small and closely spaced. It took me a little while to acclimate, but the learning curve wasn't too steep. It also uses the less-common microSDHC memory cards, which meant having to buy additional memory since my other cameras use standard-size SD cards. But memory cards are cheap and plentiful enough these days that it wasn't by any means a deal breaker. Besides, microSDHC cards come with a standard card adapter that lets me use them in my other cams.
All in all I think this little camera, with its speed, versatility, and solid picture quality, is a great choice for travelers wanting to go light.

"In a word: Fabulous. John and his crew did a great job making a horrible flooding situation as bearable as he could. My mother's home flooded in the last round of heavy rain and he arrived quickly, cleaned up just as fast and charged a fair price for his excellent work. He also made good on his promise to treat my mom like his own--and although she would have liked to have met him under better circumstances(!) she says she was and still is VERY pleased with his work going as far as to say that she trusted his crew implicitly while they were in her home. Neither of us would hesitate to recommend John HIGHLY. His excellent customer reviews are very well deserved if my mom's experience with JH Cleaning is any indication. Thanks John!!"

Deborah Lynn Reilly
BETHANY BEACH, Del. — Deborah Lynn Reilly of Delray Beach, Fla. and Bethany Beach, Del. passed away Tuesday, April 9 in Delray Beach due to complications caused by pancreatic cancer.
She was born to Robert W. and the late Carol K. Reilly on Nov. 16, 1965 in Annapolis, Md. Debbie graduated from Severn School in Severna Park, Md. in 1983. She earned a degree in Business Administration from the University of Delaware in Newark, Del. in 1987 with a major in Finance and a minor in Economics.
Debbie was a successful entrepreneur who owned and operated businesses in Palm Beach County Fla. and Sussex County Del. Most recently in Fla., she was General Manager of Pineapple Podiatry LLC, a private medical practice that she operated with her sister, Dr. Elizabeth Reilly DPM. Debbie was also the owner of the two-story Key West-inspired office building located at 10 NE 2nd Street in Delray Beach where the medical office is located. Before her family moved to South Florida, she was General Manager of Peninsula Foot and Ankle Center P.A. from August 1997 to December 2004 that operated offices in Bethany Beach, Berlin Md. and Salisbury Md.
Her business interests in Bethany Beach were as varied as they were successful. Debbie was best known for her Shore Fun Amusement Center. After the untimely passing of her mother, Carol, in September 2004, Reilly family members moved to Florida. Shore Fun Amusement Center then became Arnie's Arcade. Before Mango's restaurant was constructed on the Bethany Beach Boardwalk, Debbie, along with sister Elizabeth, operated the Holiday House restaurant, also known as Bethany's, for its final year.
Debbie earned the respect of her peers and those who interacted with her in her role as a general manger of multiple businesses and medical offices.
Debbie's political career is considered to be a piece of Bethany folklore. When she ran for Bethany Beach Town Council, very few insiders thought that she would be able to actually win the 1998 council race. In previous town council meetings, she was admonished to run for election if she thought she could do a better job by getting things done more efficiently. That challenge was all it took to get the Reilly team rolling. Aided by her family and a few others, she mailed letters, pounded on door and communicated the fact that as a businessperson, she was a "fiscal conservative practitioner." She beat the odds and won the Bethany Town elections.
Debbie was a happy, cheerful and approachable person who people instinctively trusted. On many occasions, complete strangers would share details of their life with Debbie because they believed that she was a caring, sensitive and trustworthy person. The loves of her life were her niece, her sister, her mom and her dad.
In Bethany, she was on the Board of Directors and Board Secretary of the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce from 1997 to 2002. She was also a Budget Committee Member and Parking Committee Member for the Town of Bethany Beach from 1996 to1998.
In Delray Beach, Debbie was a Board Member for Pineapple Grove Main Street from 2005 to 2007. In 2004 she received the "Volunteer of the Year" award for her Christmas Program and her continued support of the Caring Kitchen, a local Outreach Program providing meals and service to needy families.
In Ocean City, Md. Debbie was a Marketing and Project Manager for East Coast Promotion & Research Group and Ocean City Advertising Agency.
She is survived by her family members living in Delray Beach including Robert, her father; Elizabeth, her sister; and Reilly Arena, her niece; life-long friend Judy Labashosky of Unionville, Pa.; and fiancé, Paul Jankovic of Bethany Beach and Boca Raton, Fla. She will be missed by her favorite dog Herbie and her companion cat Ty-Ty.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the American Cancer Society. Services are private.

"Anytime that others in your profession basically tell you you've done a good job, that feels good," Cody said. "They know the time that it takes and the effort that it takes. They know where our program was and had seen our football team in years' past. So that makes it that much more special."
Cody inherited a Red Devils team coming off its worst season in recent memory. Not only was he taking over a team that went 0-10 in 2010, the former Sheridan and Woodlawn head coach was replacing a local legend in the profession. Charlie Sorrels stepped down after 26 years leading the program.
"When I got here, the kids immediately bought into what it was we wanted them to do," Cody said. "They believed in what we were telling them and they worked extremely hard. That was the payoff. The whole time we were just telling them that if they just believed in what we were doing and worked hard, good things were going to happen because we had talent."
All Cody did was turn an anemic offense into a high-scoring unit while the defense under his watch became viable. In 2010, Atkins gave up 30.1 points per game and scored 8.7 per contest. In 2011 under Cody, the Red Devils scored 33.9 points per game and gave up 21.3.
Going from 0-10 to 6-4-1 and a spot in the Class 3A state playoffs is amazing in itself, but the vast scoring differences showed how much the kids in Atkins were in need of a boost.
"We had good players, they just lost a little confidence in themselves (last season)," Cody said. "I don't know. It was just one of those deals that when they got some confidence in themselves, they were able to do some great things. This season was more about the kids believing in themselves and playing up to their potential."
No one claimed to know what was going to happen for the Red Devils in 2011, least of all Cody, but it didn't take long to realize things would be different in Atkins. In week one, Cody led the Red Devils against Pottsville, the preseason No. 3 team in Class 4A. The Apaches scored 21-straight and it looked like Atkins was going to fold again.
"The kids didn't panic and the coaches didn't panic," Cody said. "I think that the manner in which we did it — we got down 21-0 and we still didn't panic. We kept playing and started playing better. I think that game set the groundwork for the season. If we go in there and they blow us out, it could have been a completely different season. That game gave them the taste they needed to completely buy in to the system completely.
"It's easy to underachieve, but it's hard to overachieve — and I don't think we really overachieved this year. I think we just reached the ability of our kids."
The Red Devils followed that with four straight victories, including wins of 26 and 18 points over Dover and Dardanelle, respectively. The next four weeks were tough for Cody's squad as they lost three of four games. The first came against eventual Class 3A state champion Charleston. Atkins pounded Mansfield the following week, lost big to Paris and suffered a heartbreaking 28-27 loss to Lamar.
The Red Devils beat Perryville in week 10 to finish No. 3 in the 3A-4 Conference and seal a home playoff game, the first since 2008. But Jessieville came to town and beat Atkins 28-14 to end the season for Cody and his Red Devils.
Now Cody is looking ahead to 2012. He knows he's losing some incredible football players, including four of his starters on the offensive line.
"What happens next is we have to have players step up and play that role," Cody said. "We've got our quarterback coming back next year and he can do some amazing things if, IF, we can protect him."
Cody said he's not worried about the skill positions as his team is full of kids that fit the mold. But he is worried about what his offensive and defensive lines are going to look like.
"Right now we're going to be some little, skinny kids on the line," he said. "So we're going to have to figure out what kinds of things we're going to have to do offensively to move the ball. Defensively it's going to be the same thing, we don't have any lineman. So, it's a concern."
But don't think Cody will use that as an excuse next year.
"I will say this: Our kids are working," he said. "I don't think anyone's going to outwork us. And we don't have to sell them anything now. They already believe we have the opportunity to do special things. Now, all they have to do is work hard."

September 18, 2013
Tresa Gray of Lancaster is working for the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole as part of a 15-week internship sponsored by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE).
Gray is a senior sociology major and psychology minor at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. She is one of 14 students participating in The Harrisburg Internship Semester (THIS) program, which provides students the opportunity to work in all areas of state government while earning a full semester's worth of credits. THIS invites students from each of the 14 PASSHE universities to participate.
Gray, the daughter of William and Tonya Barry, is a 2009 graduate of J.P. McCaskey High School. She and the other students participating in the program will attend several academic seminars during their fall semester internship. Each of the students also will complete an individualized research project as part of the program's requirements.
More than 500 students from PASSHE universities have participated in THIS since the program began in 1989, each gaining valuable insight into the workings of state government at the policy-making level. Interns have worked with dozens of state agencies, as well as in the offices of the governor, the speaker of the House of Representatives and the attorney general.
PASSHE students interested in participating in THIS in a future semester may obtain information on the program by contacting their individual campus coordinator or their university's cooperative or internship office, or by calling the Dixon University Center at (717) 720-4089. More information on the program also is available at: www.passhe.edu/this.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of higher education in the Commonwealth, with about 115,000 students. The 14 PASSHE universities offer degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. About 500,000 PASSHE alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.
