Census of State Felony Courts, 1985: [United States] (ICPSR 8667)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Statistics
The purpose of this study was to provide a current listing of all felony courts in this country and to provide a universe from which a sample of courts could be selected based on felony caseload. The study includes information on all state felony courts in the United States, including the number of cases filed and disposed by conviction, acquittal, dismissal, or other means. Court administrators were asked to indicate the manner in which cases filed and disposed were counted, such as by defendant, charge, or indictment information. The total number of cases disposed during the period was also collected for juvenile delinquents and for traffic offenses (moving violations) where applicable. Finally, data were gathered on whether felonies reduced to misdemeanors were included in the felony count and whether lower courts in the jurisdiction accepted guilty pleas to felonies.

The Phillies begins a series with the Mets, hoping to stay close to first place in the East.
The second place Phillies (76-64) prepare to face the first place Mets (79-61) for the last time this season, with first place on the line, for a three games series in New York. The game will be played at Shea Stadium and will start at 7:10 pm tonight. The Phillies' starter will be their hottest pitcher, Brett Meyer (8-10, 4.40), who is 5-1 with a ERA of 1.78 along with two no-decisions in which the Phillies are 1-1, in his last eight starts. He is coming off a victory against the Cubs on August 30, where he pitched seven plus innings, giving up two earned runs on eleven hits (all singles) and eight strikeouts, in the Phillies' 5-2 win. His last start against the Mets on July 23, he went five innings, giving up three earned runs on three hits and five walks, in the Phillies' 6-3 lost. He will be looking for his sixth win since coming back from his minor league stint while bringing the Phillies closer to first place. His opponent will be Mike Pelfrey (13-8, 3.66), who is coming off a no-decision against the Marlins on August 30, where he went six and two-thirds innings, giving up two earned runs on six hits, in the Mets' 4-3 lost. He will be trying to improve his record while also trying to put some more distance between the Mets and the Phillies.
The Phillies will be coming to New York, trying to sweep their first series from the Mets since last September, as they make their last visit to Shea Stadium, which will be replaced by a new stadium next season. The Phillies will be sending against the Mets their present hot starter (Brett Myers), the 45-years old veteran (Jamie Moyer) and their ace (Cole Hamels), praying that they can shut down the Mets' offense while their own offense attempts to run up the pitch count of the Mets' starters and get at the Billy Wagner-less bullpen. The offense has been showing signs that it could bust loose at any time. Now would be the most appropriate time for it to bust out. Otherwise, the team will be seeing itself in a bigger hole than it did last year at this time as it doesn't appear that this year's Mets team will have as dramatic a collapse as it did last year. The Phillies need to take care of business NOW if they don't want the Mets to give them the buisness this weekend.
The Phillies are now trailing the Mets as they prepare to meet them for a three games series. The Phillies are ahead of the Marlins by five games as they prepare for a three games weekend series with the Cardinals.

A month after hearing from a resident worried about unleashed dogs running close to children playing at Payne Park, city commissioners said Tuesday Jan. 22, they want to leash put into effect a law in the park.
Although a current city ordinance requires pet owners to keep dogs on a leash at several city parks — including Bayfront Park, Island Park (also known as Ken Thompson) and Arlington Park — there is no such regulation at Payne Park or other parks in the city.
In addition to requiring that all pet owners have their dogs on leashes while in Payne Park, the city could also prohibit dogs in the playground area.
Commissioner Shannon Snyder suggested that the city use vacant property on Ringling Boulevard, where the old police station stood, as a dog park so dog owners will have an alternative place to let their dogs run untethered.
"There is plenty of parking," Snyder said. "It is away from the kids."
Although the land is not currently being used, the city might find a future use for it, although, according to Snyder that probably won't be for another 20 years.
"Hmmm, I like that idea," Mayor Suzanne Atwell said of the dog-park concept.
Later in the meeting, Atwell said she still preferred that a dog park be located within Payne Park.
Snyder said the property bordering the new police department headquarters was close enough to offer views of the park.
"It is a good size, and there is a lot of shade," he said.
The new park would be in step with the trend of new canine parks opening.
Another property bordering U.S. 301 could also be available for use as a dog park.
Todd Kucharski, general manager of the city's Landscape Parks and Environment, said he would put together a list of options for a dog park and different kinds of leash regulations in Payne Park. Kucharski would get community input, and as the next step, the city's Parks, Recreation and Environmental Protection Advisory Board would review the options.

Discussion in 'Pro Match Results and Discussion' started by Fastpace Ace, Mar 23, 2013.
Such a pity. No?
That tells us everything we need to know about the sport. Most people are fans of players, not of the sport.
Not that there's anything wrong with it. Most people were fans of Tyson, not of boxing.
I think all the retirements and walkovers may have something to do with it.
Djokovic's got this! 14th Masters title coming up...
True that my man!
No it's just some of us are a but busy pulling off pranks tonight instead of watching
Yeah I am glad I had tickets for IW and not Miami.
Saw some of the Isner match today on ESPN3, but in general watching replays/highlights of previous Fed and Rafa matches (not necessarily versus each other). Fedal withdrew and now JMDP out as well, don't know who's going to draw the crowds. I would probably watch Haas, Almagro matches.
I think fans of the game are more occupied going out and playing. Even in the 80s and 90s the guys that were worth watching were few IMO. Tennis is just not that fun to watch unless you have an extreme talent. I mean I love tennis and after a day at Indian Wells I have completely had my fill of watching pro tennis.
I could play 4-5 times a week though.
The sport needs epic matches and epic rivalries. Some of the best rivalries involved Nadal (his wars with Federer, Djokovic, Murray). He plays such a different and dynamic game that people have no choice but to pay attention. He's like Mike Tyson. Like him or hate him, you can't help but to take notice.
I usually love the early rounds of tournaments, but there really haven't been too many interesting match-ups so far. I watched Djokovic-Rosol, but that was a dud. There's lots of great players in the draw, but none of them have played each other yet.
wait until the next round... when the higher ranked player face one another...
this round, dimitrov Vs. murray should be interesting.
P.S. If they had given Gulbis a wild card it would have shaken things up quite a bit imo...
This seems to happen a lot. Most everyone is healthy enough to play UW, but injuries take a big toll on Miami.
I'll take IW, thanks.
Well just by watching any of the professionals or non professionals you can still learn a lot
There's nothing really coming up in the new generation to excite. That's the problem. None of the younger guys looks like they have the potential. The only one who does to my eyes is Tomic but he hasn't got the work ethic.
On a related note, this shows the penalty that the tour faces with their uneven schedule. Having 2 1000's back to back is stupid. Only hard core fans have the endurance to follow it for 4 weeks.
The new generation is awful. Worst tennis generation ever. Maybe the players born in the mid 90s/late 90s will be better.
i would have to disagree, there are a lot of good up and comers...not necessarily from US but there are some good players for sure...
From the desert to the topics is a harsh shift.
The atmosphere is anything but dead. There's so many South American fans there. Whenever a south American player is playing, the fans of that country go and watch and cheer very loudly and heckle the other player. You guys should have seen Belucci vs. Janowicz. That was like a Davis cup match in Brazil. And I was in the front row for that... Great match even though 95% of the crowd was for Belucci. It was kind of unfair. But you have to learn to tune it out, which Janowicz didn't do, and so he lost the match.
I think Ferru-Nishikori will be interesting. Ferru looks to be in much better form than the last couple of tournaments, and Kei will be looking for revenge from that AO loss.
Is Tommy Haas playing Nico Almagro? Without doubt, I would watch that too.
I belive haas is playing djokovic
You mean it's dead without Federer, yes I agree.
Not really. Nadal probably gets just as much or possibly even more support than Federer does in Miami.
Yeah it is a bit dead there's no denying. I just don't have as much interest in Murray or Djokovic. If their matches are on when I turn tennis on my TV I'll watch, but I'm not setting my alarm clock to go off whenever a Djokovic or Murray match is supposed to come on. That's how I feel.
I thought I was a hard core fan.
How come?b
There's a large Latin American population in Miami that is very partisan towards South American/Spanish players, and Nadal is by far the most famous and successful Spanish speaking tennis star.
Im glad Fed is getting some rest. Wouldnt be much use on slow hardcourtsnow anyway given his recent form coupled with his back. Would have liked to see Nadal in Miami though...... Could have had interesting matches with Murray and or Djokovic which would have provided a slight indicator for the upcoming clay season......
i dont know what pros tennis greatness-curves are....i enjoy watching the younger atp pros...dimitriov, tomics, raonics, etc. all around 21 or 22 and plenty of hours to perfect and enhance their games in various directions. j janowicz has had moments of tennis genius as well. im enjoying the miami tournament.
I fear for how the clay season will turn out. It's an absolute must that he's 100% fit or the 31 year old won't be able to do much on the physically demanding clay courts against his younger opponents.
He is still #2 now but that can change real quick, as I don't think he will defend his Madrid title. On the other hand, I'm thinking now: Who HAS got something to gain in the clay season. Nadal won everything except Madrid. So even he wins everything he won't take the #2 ranking. Djokovic is already #1 but yeah he can collect some points if he can beat Nadal here and there. Murray can also get points but.. Murray on clay, we'll have to wait and see.
Anyway Federer really needs to lift up his game.. he's only #7 in the ATP race and his 4 week break has just begun.
You mean ... you *didn't* get up at 4:30am (if you live in ET) to watch Rafa-Verdasco and the 2009 Federer-Nadal AO final?
Well ... I've seen the Monte Carlo roster, and he's not competing there.
I haven't seen his full clay schedule, though. Where is he competing before Madrid ... just Halle?
Well I have had my times. I remember when I didn't want to pay for cable for a full year, so, I would go rent a motel room just to watch Grand Slam matches.
What President said, but also because I have a friend who went to the tournament in 2009 and said that the Nadal-love was off the charts. I'm sure his big win at the AO also contributed to that.
You mean bit dead around TW or around Miami?
As for TW, I have to say... fook yeah! The ****ism is reduced to much more manageable levels, with some exceptions like the moronic 'Djokovic doesn't like to lose thread' and so. Discussion here is way smaller, but noticeably more focused on tennis than on personality traits.
I love watching R&R play tennis (when they are not mugging it up), but TW definitely will win when they are retired.
Separate names with a comma.

Giants edged by Mets in tough loss
Sanchez strong, but New York wins game in final at-bat
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- The Giants played an adequate game Sunday against the New York Mets. But adequacy usually doesn't suffice for San Francisco. A defensive gaffe here, a bad pitch there and subdued offense everywhere undermined an otherwise decent performance by the Giants, who lost, 3-2, on Daniel Murphy's game-winning RBI single in the ninth inning off Jeremy Affeldt. Paddling furiously to stay on course in the National League West and Wild Card races, the Giants already know that anything but sound execution often dooms them, since outslugging opponents isn't their forte. They were reminded of this at Citi Field, where they received clutch two-out run-scoring hits from Eugenio Velez and Randy Winn but little offense otherwise; committed no errors officially but paid the price for a dropped ball by left fielder Fred Lewis; and sustained typically strong pitching, save for a fleeting lapse by Jonathan Sanchez and the game-ending one by Affeldt. "It's kind of the way our season has been going," Winn said. "We realize we need to play good baseball consistently to win. We can't afford to make a whole lot of mistakes, either defensively or offensively." The most encouraging development for the Giants was their starting pitching, as is usually the case. Sanchez, who has displayed increased confidence but only incremental improvement since his July 10 no-hitter, allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings, a distance he has reached twice in three starts but only three times all season. The Giants must rely on more than just their twin aces, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, to remain postseason contenders. Sanchez has compiled a 4.04 ERA since his no-hitter but has limited opponents to a .202 batting average in that span. The Giants would be thrilled if he could maintain consistency and deepen the rotation. "They're going to be big," Sanchez said of his remaining starts. "We have to win those games." Sanchez blanked the Mets (55-62) until the fifth, when Angel Pagan's two-out double prolonged the inning. Lewis, dashing to his left, caught up with the ball and grabbed it, but it squirted out of his glove. It was scored a double. Manager Bruce Bochy refused to criticize Lewis.
"We're not going to get into pointing figners here," Bochy said. "He ran a long ways. He didn't cost us a run by dropping it. Sanchie just made a mistake to the next hitter."That was Luis Castillo, who hadn't homered since May 30 of last season -- a span of 475 at-bats. Castillo suddenly resembled Albert Pujols as he planted Sanchez's 3-1 fastball in the second deck in left field to put the Mets ahead, 2-1. Sanchez explained that he intended to throw his pitch farther outside.
"[On] 3-1, everybody's going to look for a fastball," Sanchez said.
Castillo's long ball drought notwithstanding, Sanchez added: "He's in the big leagues. Anybody can hit home runs."The Giants (63-54) couldn't, though they did enough at the plate to flirt with victory. Mets starter Mike Pelfrey allowed only three hits in seven innings before yielding consecutive one-out doubles to Velez and Winn in the eighth, which forced him from the game and tied the score. Winn's hit was especially welcome, since it interrupted an 8-for-55 skid and gave him some personal momentum after he sat out the series' first two games.
"It was more like a mini-All-Star break," Winn suggested.San Francisco's rally ended as pinch-hitter Ryan Garko, facing Mets reliever Pedro Feliciano, lined out to second base with runners on first and second. The Mets had better luck in the ninth as Jeff Francoeur grounded a leadoff infield single to the left side against right-hander Sergio Romo (3-2). After Fernando Tatis bunted Francoeur to second base, the left-handed Affeldt replaced Romo to face Murphy, a left-handed batter. The move made sense, particularly since Murphy and Omir Santos, the on-deck hitter, were batting .211 and .215 off left-handers, respectively. But Murphy mocked the Giants' strategy by lining his game-winning hit on a 2-2 curveball. That pitch was the Giants' final slip of the day. "It was supposed to be a little bit further away, a little bit further down," said Affeldt, who had excelled until allowing four earned runs and issuing six walks in his past four innings. "I threw a strike that was hittable instead of one that wasn't. There's really no secret to what happened."

Elizabeth Warren: What Happened to the Middle Class?
You cannot possibly fix it if you don't know what happened.
Posted by Jesse at 1:47 AM
Category: financial corruption, financial coup d'etat
"Naziism kept us so busy with continuous changes and 'crises,' and so fascinated by the machinations of our 'national enemies,' without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us...And one day, too late, your principles all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident collapses it all at once, and you see that everything has changed, and changed completely." Milton Mayer
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery.
"In the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Thereafter, any attack even on the least of men is an attack on Christ, who took on the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all. Through our relationship with the Incarnation, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our solidarity with all mankind." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A credibility trap is when the managerial functions of a society have been sufficiently compromised by corruption so that the leadership cannot reform, or even honestly address, the problems of that system without implicating a broad swath of the powerful, including themselves.
The moneyed interests and their aspirants tolerate the corruption because they have profited from it, and would like to continue to do so. Discipline is maintained by various forms of soft financial rewards and career and social coercion."

|Steep But Worthwhile
Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2016
|Climbed with a friend, on the trail by just after 7:10. The road is quite steep, how anyone could possibly drive anything up this is beyond me, as the gradient makes the Y Mountain Trail look mellow in comparison, but if you just keep at it you reach a pleasant ridge, which was slightly breezy but not unpleasantly so. After one final steep section, it's a quick, easy jaunt over to the true summit. Took pictures, noted the triangulation station, USGS benchmark, and all of the sweeping views in all directions. Took an easier route more to the south on the way back down, slightly longer, but overall--including lounging on the spectacular summit--it only took us about 3.5 hours total. Great peak, highly recommended for anyone looking for a 2KP with astounding views!

|As others have said, this is not a particularly pleasant hike. The spur road is steep and a little bit loose. Steep. And the constant sounds of gunfire eliminates any chance at a pleasant outing. Thankfully made it to the peak and back without any issue as I was worried about some distant lightning. Hail in American Forks on the way back.

|Whoever thought that taking a dog into a virtual gun range was a splendid notion needs some serious cranial examination. Hiking up the southeast ridge was not easy on this gun slinging heroines heart. The loud noises continually startled me until the spur ridge met up with the main ridge to the summit. After that I was in top form as I joyfully sauntered up the final steep pitch to awe-inspiring views of the remains of ancient Lake Bonneville. However the joy was short lived as I was thrown back into what felt like the jungles of Nam on the spur ridge heading back to my horseless carriage.

|If you answered yes, then this is the hike for you! This spur ridge was steep, and more steep, and more steep, and then kinda steep, followed by super steep. you get the idea. The point is that I made it to the top and it was a very warm spring like day in December with no snow to be found, and I got a great workout. Great conditioning climb for sure, you should probably do it. Or if not and you are smart maybe you wait until the road is open and drive to the towers and just walk along the rolling hills on the top of the mountain.

|We followed the ZeeJay route and parked at the 90 degree bend. It took us a little over an hour to conquer the steep spur-ridge and get to the summit. It was a very warm December day, probably around fifty degrees F at the top.

|I took my 1 year old dog on her first summit hike this morning. Woke up early and started the hike a about 15 min before sunrise. Went up the SE Ridge and it is one steep motha. There is only one or two switchbacks up to the ridge, and your calves with definitely feel it. We were on top in just over an hour and enjoyed the fantastic views in every direction. This is a great workout hike and fun if you only have a few hours. Total time was about 2 hours.

|A spur of the moment decision, I decided to do a solo hike up to West Mountain. A great hike. About 5.4 miles roundtrip from the antennae peak. Up to the true summit at the triangulation station and back in an hour and a half. Unfortunately, the low cloud ceiling made it hard to have any good views of the Wasatch. West Mountain is actually a lot bigger and more complex than I thought. I love the rolling foothills leading to the summit!

I took the ATV road back down and actually enjoyed it (comparison to going up). This was my second visit but my first visit was via the road to the middle towers without going to the real highpoint which I came back to correct.

The rainfall could have, but didn't, dampen the spirits of the nearly 1,500 freshmen and other new students moving into dorms at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth on Sunday.
In the morning, cars, vans and SUVs filled with boxes, computers, televisions and suitcases, lined up on Ring Road, and the occupants awaited their turns.
The rainfall could have, but didn't, dampen the spirits of the nearly 1,500 freshmen and other new students moving into dorms at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth on Sunday.
In the morning, cars, vans and SUVs filled with boxes, computers, televisions and suitcases, lined up on Ring Road, and the occupants awaited their turns.
Fathers and brothers were seen carrying the large objects — small refrigerators among them. Most stood in line around the dorms, under umbrellas, with large orange carts filled with belongings.
"Welcome to college," said Rebecca Douglas, a senior and resident assistant from Swansea, as she checked-in new residents of the Maple Ridge dormitory near the front door.
"It's kind of chaotic," Douglas said. "I'm basically just checking them into the building. So that we know they're on campus.
"They're nervous," Douglas said of the new students, right before checking in freshman Dorothy Mahoney-Pacheco of Fall River. "But we remind them that we're here to help."
"It's been very amazing and interesting," Mahoney-Pacheco said of the move-in experience and orientation at UMass. Mahoney-Pacheco is a psychology major. She graduated from Bishop Stang in June.
"You're a psych major, too?" Douglas said to Mahoney-Pacheco upon learning of the student's major.
When asked what she was most excited about at her new school, Mahoney-Pacheco said, "I think probably meeting new people."
Junior Michael Creese, of Boston, said he was in his second year as an RA at the school. "I love the leadership opportunities," Cress said of his role.
He fielded questions, most of them involving directions. Move-in started at around 7 a.m. and would continue until 8 p.m., Creese and Douglas said.
Sarah Tremblay, of Holden, said she was looking forward to "getting to plan my own time."
"We'll be more excited when it's over," said Clara Arroyo, of Boston, aunt of new student Manny Arroyo. At that point they were out of the rain and into the building.
"I'm feeling really excited," said Norton resident Rachel Ferreira, as she and her family waited in line under a canopy outside Maple Ridge for their turn to move in. She plans to major in biomedical engineering.
Ferreira said she hasn't yet met her roommate but they emailed each other throughout the summer. She wasn't nervous.
"I can get along with anyone," Ferreira said.
"I'm excited as well, but we'll miss her," said Rachel Ferreira's father, Paul Ferreira. "She's very responsible."
UMass Dartmouth Chancellor Divina Grossman surveyed the scene with her husband.
"It looks like move-in has been going well," Grossman said. "I've been talking to a lot of parents and students."
Grossman said university officials were tracking the weather for possible lightning.
One girl, lacking an umbrella, pulled her laundry basket over her head.
"I'm sad and I'm happy at the same time," said Swansea resident Joann Ayotte, whose daughter Lauren moved in Sunday, as she unloaded a desk chair from her minivan. "This is a great opportunity for her."

text: MW 11:15am-12:30pm This course is an introduction to the language of literary criticism in Spanish, with a focus on Latin American poetry, drama, novel and film. The main emphasis will be the experience of close reading; that is, we will work on becoming more imaginative readers by developing greater sensitivity to textual detail. We will ponder what is specific about literary study, along with other questions about fiction, lyrical voice, dramatic sequence, narrative lines, cinematographic narrative, figural language, etc. Students taking this course will develop the interpretive skills they will need in upper level literature courses, as they work on developing greater intimacy with language and with Spanish. The texts will include poetry by Neruda, Vallejo, Borges, Agustini and Villaurrutia; several short stories by Julio Cort·zar, a short novel by CÈsar Aira (CÛmo me hice monja), a play by Vicente LeÒero (Los albaÒiles), and a film by Luis BuÒuel (La vida criminal de Archibaldo de la Cruz). Course work includes two exams and three short essays, among other assignments.


text: I would like to see Star (along with Dionne and wannabe NeNe) get her come-uppance *and* the boot. But I wonder if, for ratings' sake (and soulmate qualities with Trump), Jones and Hatch will be the F2. Personally, at this point, I'd like to see either Meat Loaf or Matlin win, but they seem too nice.

The suggestion, if you don't want to watch the whole thing: everyone go to Chick-Fil-A on 1 August, and just order a glass of water, nothing more. It's biblical! They should gratefully fill your order!
I won't be doing it, though. There is no Chick-Fil-A anywhere near me, praise God.

How about a nice 4-0 win tonight, USA?
Wow. What an embarrassment.
How about a nice 4-0 win tonight, USA?
Holy **** Jozy! You looked like a real striker on that goal.
What a ****ing shot Jozy, holy ****!
I don't think I've ever seen Jozy rip a ball like that.
US has had their share of chances. Every time I start to think Bradley (Michael) isn't doing much, he sets up a great opportunity.
Lol at Dempsey. He's the suck tonight.
That was a shameful performance. The miss by Dempsey defies logic.
Unbelievable the amount of goals they left out there. Dempsey's at the end is probably even worse than Wondo's against Panama, which I didn't think was possible.
we can complain all day and night but a win is a win. they don't give Mexico more points for winning 5-0 in their games. Let's see how they do in the next games. I liked Lichaj out there better than Ream. Wondo is not an international player but there aren't any good US forwards it would seem. that's not really Bob Bradley's fault. It's funny cause most teams, all they have are forwards. everyone wants to be a striker it would seem... and really great teams like Brazil and Spain have world class strikers that don't even make the bench. the US has a strong (ish) midfield and a world class goalie... they will be fine.
I cant believe theres not some really talented South American, European foward who has American eligibility but cant crack the line up of his home country.
Great goal by Jozy.
everyone's bashing the USA for not beating these teams hands down... meanwhile Mexico trailed Guatamala 1-0 for 60 mins last night, not a peep. the more i get into soccer the more im noticing this Latin snobbery... like their football is so awesome and ours sucks.
it should also be noted, beside the 5 Mexicans busted for doping, there's also a FIFA investigation into several gold cup blowouts as fixed matches. but we don't hear about that all we hear about is how the USA sucks. Im sick of it.s
Oof. That red card to Taylor was ****.

Jimmy D Dunford served in the US Army 4 years. He lost much of his hearing due to working on and around Army tanks. The mother of his children died fairly young- sudden stroke. Jimmy died peacefully in his sleep October 3, 2007. He has 3 beautiful grown children and 4 grandchildren in Washington State. When Jim & I were litlle (5 & 3) we lived in Bartley West Virginia on a farm. It seemed to us as if we lived 3 miles from the paved road. Some of our older brothers were home on furlough from the military. They gave us some pennies, nickles & dimes! We could hardly wait to go spend it! After playing with these coins for what seemed like months we got angry and took the heavy lid off our well and threw ever coin in ! We laughed about it when we were grown.

Hello all,
I'm a very new student of C++. I've been enjoying and taking advantage of this website's tutorials and other resources for a little while. I decided recently to start working through some of cprogramming's practice problems. The first one is in a "fill in the blank" format and deals with array input and output.
Here's the introduction
Array Challenge
When completed, the following program should first fill in (by asking the user for input) and then list all the elements in an array:
The "fill in the blank" portion looks like this.
This is the provided solutionCode:#include <_____> using namespace std; ___ main() { int array[8]___ for(int x=_; x<_; ___) cin>>______; for(____; x<____; ___) cout<<_____; return __; ____
Now, as I previously stated, I am very very much a newbie. But from what I do understand, won't the first conditional iterate until it has fulfilled the condition for itself, then just "drop through" the second, as it has already fulfilled its condition as well?? That's what it seems to be doing when I compile it. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int array[8]; for(int x=0; x<8; x++) cin>>array[x]; for(int x=0; x<8; x++) cout<<array[x]; return 0; }

Kimbo Slice and Regis Philbin Slug it Out For the Soul of Weekend Television
CBS has seen the future (or at least the ratings) and its name is Kimbo Slice. Or maybe it's Regis Philbin. Or conceivably both, after a look at the weekend ratings that established both EliteXC Saturday Night Fights and Million Dollar Password as the network's summer programming to be reckoned with — nauseously, perhaps, and only after sizable narcotic consumption, but no doubt inevitably. Philbin strung together an audience from the 60 Minutes window preceding him Sunday evening, winning the night with nearly 11 million viewers. But bare-knuckle Mixed Martial Arts superstar Slice fared surprisingly well in an even more sepulchral Saturday-night slot, pulling an average of 4.3 million viewers nationally between 9 and 11 p.m.
And it might have done even better if not for the affiliates who opted for a telethon or, in the case of uptight Greensboro, N.C., anything but a massive black ex-strip-club bouncer beating the holy fuck out of some anonymous, pasty chump:
WFMY gave rights to the event to a low-wattage network 25 miles away in Reidsville, according to program director David Briscoe. Instead, the CBS affiliate televised a 1992 made-for-TV movie called Getting Up and Going Home, which stars Tom Skerritt as a divorced attorney who copes with his mid-life crisis by having multiple affairs.
In an earlier statement sent to greensborosports.com, Briscoe wrote: "We have concern for the content in CBS' EliteXC."
The "experts" agree, recently telling Time Magazine, "Just wait for the first news report about two eight-year-olds that went after each other because of something they watched on CBS. It's going to happen." That's nothing — just wait until those kids start having Skerritt-esque affairs all over Greensboro. It's going to happen.

Spotted Salamander
Posted on May 19, 2008 by admin
Spotted salamanders are part
of the mole salamander family due to the adult's tendency to live underground.
They frequently burrow in loose soil, under a log or leaves or take up
residence in abandoned rodent burrows.
Since they are amphibians,the salamanders require a moist habitat and spend most of their lives within
300 feet of their home pond. As larvae, they have external gills and flattened
tails for swimming. After about four months they transform into their adult
form and lose the feather gills and develop their spotted appearance. The
bright spots are a warning to predators that they are toxic if eaten.

With the fiscal cliff negotiations finally passing the House and Senate, it's time to face the reality that markets will be dominated as much by politics as they will by economics in the coming year.
Debt ceiling worries here and concerns over the European Union will continue to produce rumor-mill style rallies and drops in equities worldwide. Every inflation number will be scrutinized, every durable goods report dissected as traders focus on predicting the next round of government intervention.
There are some ways to cope with the madness. Now more than ever, a long-term view is essential in building a sensible portfolio. Equity investors should heed to fundamentals Valuations will be an especially important metric. It will be vital to choose positions that offer enough runway to keep drawdowns as low as possible during the inevitable panic sell-offs that will likely occur in 2013.
Treasury securities will also be prone to speculative fervor, so increasing one's allocation to corporate credit while reducing Sovereign exposure may make sense.
Ironically, the outlook for stocks is pretty favorable in the coming year. Buy-and-hold investors should do fine this year, but those trying to time rallies and pullbacks will likely have a much tougher time.

Shall we talk about Whitney Houston's return on GMA? Nope. We all saw it. Seems like that gal's had a rough enough time as it is fighting various issues, Bobby Brown, a reality show, and an all -but-vanished career. Let's just wish her the best (because she really does have a great set of pipes) and move on to the Daytime Emmy's. Which Fred Nelson — PCA's president and resident pop culture guru — attended. More from him on those festivities later. But today, let's talk about one of the Daytime Emmy winners — The View. So now that those ladies have a Daytime Emmy in their collective (Marc Jacobs/Gucci) purses, let's examine what would happen if one of those prized ladies were to take a few days off — and how would you feel about it? Everyone's got to take a vacation now and then, and with Labor Day approaching and then Back To School it seems people are planning to…and not just us regular folk — The Ladies of The View also have plans to take a break. With that in mind, let's take a quick look at just a few of the other ladies who are scheduled to Guest Host for The View. Voice your choice in today's poll and tell us which of these ladies you are most excited about stepping into a guest spot on the view…

Rovers NewsOn The Pitch
Robins capture Weyman
The club are delighted to announce the capture of St George-Illawarra prop forward Michael Weyman on a two-year contract.
The 28-year-old will finish the current campaign over in Australia with the Dragons before linking up with the Robins for pre-season training ahead of the 2014 season. A former Moruya junior, Weyman started his professional career with the Canberra Raiders, making his first grade debut against Penrith back in May 2003.
He spent six years with the Raiders before making the switch to St George-Illawarra in early 2009 where he has picked up a couple of major pieces of silverware. The big prop was part of the side that beat Sydney Roosters 32-8 in the 2010 NRL Grand Final and also played in the 2011 World Club Challenge just months later which saw the Dragons defeat Wigan 21-15 at the DW Stadium.
Weyman also has representative experience having played once for Australia and four times for New South Wales in State of Origin. He'll add considerable size, power and talent to the Robins' pack and CEO Mike Smith sees his capture as a real coup for the club.
"Michael is a player of the highest calibre and you only have to look at his record to see that he's been there and done it at the very top level," he said. "Meeting him and his agent was a real pleasure and Michael can't wait to get over to England and get started in 2014.
"As a club, we've targeted high quality acquisitions to replace the players who will leave us at the end of the current season and Michael definitely fits that bill."
Meanwhile, Rovers' Head Coach Craig Sandercock is delighted to have added Weyman to his squad for the next two years and added:
"Michael is a big bloke and a class player who will bring a lot of quality and experience to our team. He'll also provide terrific leadership to our younger players and for them it'll be a great opportunity to learn from someone who has played consistently at the top level in Australia."
Weyman will join up with the Robins in the autumn subject to the necessary visa and work permit paperwork being completed.

text: BUT NEVER GOT. I have been looking through a book I recently bought Mail-Order Mysteries: Real Stuff from Old Comic Book Ads. When I was a child I used to peruse the ads in comic books wishing I could send away for some of these marvelleous products. However my mother informed me that because I didn't live in America I couldn't send away for them . The book shows the orginal ad and then has the headings WE IMAGINED (what children thought they would get) THEY SENT (a genuine description of the product) CUSTOMER SATISFACTION (usually not good, but some products were actually good) Things I missed out on included X-Ray Specs Ventrilo Voice Thrower Kryptonite Rock 6-Foot monster size monsters Greedy fingers bank Sea-monkeys Sneezing Powder Secret Spy Scope After reading this book I guess I can say, that I was actually lucky to live in Tasmania and unable to buy any of this crap. Did you ever what anything you saw advertise in old comics? Did your parent let you send for anything? What about other things that you really wanted but your parents wouldn't let you have?

Many nonprofit groups publish and sell cookbooks to raise money to help neighbors in need.
One group with a cookbook in circulation in Monroe, however, also puts its recipes to work.
Take the Next Step is a faith-based, nondenominational community resource center housed next to Monroe Covenant Church.
Each Tuesday evening, people who need a meal are served a free, hearty supper in the church basement. Many members of Monroe Covenant volunteer with Take the Next Step. At least once a month they are the cooks and meal servers.
Two of the recipes served at the community dinners and featured in "Bon Appetit," the group's cookbook, are chicken and sour cream enchiladas and one-step pound cake. You can try the recipes yourself; they're printed on Page D2.
About 40 other organizations — Monroe churches, service clubs and school groups — are involved in the cooking-and-meal-serving rotation.
On a recent Tuesday, 10 fourth and fifth-grade students from Fryelands Elementary School in the group Students Can Make a Difference and their parents brought and served the meal.
Teacher Randy Brown praised Take the Next Step for its service to the Monroe area.
"This community dinner is a beautiful thing," Brown said. "My students get hooked on the experience of helping others. It's a life skill. If all people were involved like this, we could turn this country around."
A full third of the people, including children, helped by Take the Next Step are homeless, said meal coordinator Rita Gilfilen.
"Take the Next Step offers many great services for people who are hurting," Gilfilen said. "We serve anywhere from 70 to 120 people each Tuesday. We also serve 50 to 75 sack lunches on each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It's a real community effort."
The weekly dinner is followed by life skills classes, including learning how to present oneself well in a job interview.
The lunches are served at the drop-in center in the church's former parsonage next door. The center is equipped with computers for use by homeless and low-income people. Coffee is served along with help to get connected with other resources.
After school, dozens of Monroe children are involved in the nonprofit's Kidz Club, which offers activities, snacks and tutoring at the church. The nonprofit also offers a teen mothers support group.
It takes a good chunk of money to provide all of these services, Gilfilen said.
Longtime volunteer Donna Olson suggested the cookbook fundraiser for Take the Next Step, she said.
"We completed the year-long cookbook project in September," Gilfilen said. "We have 195 recipes, all from local folks. We're proud of it."
The hardcover book features main dishes with an international focus. Recipes include those that are vegetarian, low-carb, sugar-free and gluten-free. There are desserts, soups, salads, breads and rolls, appetizers, beverages and side dishes. Helpful hints are plentiful throughout the book. Category dividers offer a touch of humor.
Cookbooks, $15 each, are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at Take the Next Step's Drop-In Center, 202 S. Sams St., Monroe. The books also can be ordered online at www.thenextstepmonroe.org and then shipped for an additional $3 per book.

Rollins puts offensive woes in the past

The 33-year-old hit just .239 in April and followed that by batting .263 in May. He posted a sub-.700 OPS in both months but has made some adjustments at the plate that have allowed him to get back on track, according to manager Charlie Manuel.
"I think his concentration is better," Manuel said. "He's hitting a few more balls to the opposite field. I think when he gets a hit to the opposite field or up the middle, [opposing pitchers] bring the ball inside to him, and that's how he gets better balls to hit and the chance to hit better.
"He's been playing better; his swing is better."
Rollins entered Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays batting .310 in June, with an .889 OPS, and has scored at least one run in five straight games.
During the current nine-game road trip, Rollins is batting .300 with a homer and three RBIs over six games.
For the season the three-time All-Star has a .257 average, four homers, 18 RBIs and 11 stolen
Halladay throws for first time since hitting DL
TORONTO -- Roy Halladay threw on Friday for the first time since landing on the 15-day disabled list with a strained muscle in his back.
Halladay, who is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks, made 30 throws from 60 feet and will toss again on Sunday.
"He felt very good, probably better than he expected," said pitching coach Rich Dubee. "He feels much better. There has been a lot of work put in."
Dubee said that Halladay has been handling the rehab process well, but admits that his pitcher is such a competitor that he was impatient since the first day he was unable to throw.
Manager Charlie Manuel said that Halladay has remained quiet on the bench, frustrated that he's unable to help the team. Although Halladay isn't scheduled to return earlier than expected, Manuel believes the fact that he has thrown already is encouraging.
"That's definitely a good sign," Manuel said. "It's good to get him out there. Doc is definitely ready to start throwing the ball and using his arm."
But Manuel also cautioned that the Phillies will be very careful about "turning him loose."
Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, hasn't pitched since May 27, and he only threw two innings before being removed with soreness in his shoulder.
The 35-year-old has thrown 72 1/3 innings this season and has a 4-5 record and 3.98 ERA. Halladay hasn't had an ERA that high in a single season since posting 4.20 in 2004, as a member of the Blue Jays.
Halladay traveled with the team to Toronto -- where he began his Major League career. The right- hander spent parts of 12 seasons with the Blue Jays and won his first Cy Young with them in 2003.
Polanco out of lineup for opener vs. Jays
TORONTO -- Manager Charlie Manuel gave third baseman Placido Polanco the day off on Friday, when the Phils opened a series against the Blue Jays.
Polanco had played in two straight games after missing a week because of an ailing left wrist.
The 36-year-old has a small tear in his tendon, a situation that required him to get a cortisone shot last week, and Manuel will be cautious as a result.
"We got in at four o'clock in the morning, and Polanco has been banged up, and I figured that, especially when I found out [the Blue Jays have] two lefties going Saturday and Sunday, I would keep him back," Manuel said. "That's how I wanted to use him."
Polanco, a right-handed hitter, will face left-handers Ricky Romero and Brett Cecil on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
A 15-year veteran, Polanco is batting .280 on the season with a .668 OPS.
Mike Fontenot got the start at third base on Friday, batting eighth.
Worth noting
Chase Utley played four innings at second base in an extended spring training game on Friday, going 1- for-4 with a walk.
Utley had been rehabbing at Class A Clearwater of the Florida State League, but the league is on its All-Star break, so he went to extended spring to continue seeing game action.
The second baseman has been out the entire season dealing with chronic knee problems, but skipper Charlie Manuel expects him back soon.
"It's going to be the first week in July, more than likely," Manuel said.
Manuel said that Utley needs to start building up the amount of his innings he plays before there's a real sense of when he would be called up.
Ryan Howard played in the same game as Utley and went 3-for-4 with two homers and a double.
Howard did not run during the game but went to a separate field afterward and did some drills at reduced speed.

Here is the latest edition of Week In Review - a series of weekly messages from the Mayor and City Council to help Richardson residents and businesses keep up to date on events at City Hall.
Council Proclaims September as National Preparedness Month
The Richardson City Council on Monday issued a proclamation designating September as National Preparedness Month. The City's Office of Emergency Management has joined a nationwide effort this month to encourage Americans to prepare themselves and their families in case of an emergency or natural disaster.
The Office of Emergency Management urges residents to be prepared by knowing an appropriate response in case of an emergency, creating a family emergency plan and building an emergency supply kit. The City offers several online resources at bit.ly/1epIxcY to help residents be prepared. Learn more about the nationwide efforts to promote preparedness at ready.gov.
Watch the work session discussion and proclamation at bit.ly/1brHOqE.
Richardson to Join Air North Texas Efforts
The City of Richardson will soon be an official partner of Air North Texas, a public awareness campaign that encourages residents to make clean air choices. The City Council discussed joining the coalition of regional organizations committed to improving the air in North Texas at its Monday work session.
Richardson will receive a variety of air quality resources as an Air North Texas Partner and have the opportunity to compete for annual awards. The City will promote clean air choices to people who live and work in Richardson, send a representative to task force meetings and submit annual progress reports.
For more information, visit airnorthtexas.org. Watch the work session presentation at bit.ly/16fLZho.
National Voter Registration Day Celebrated Tuesday
Several organizations will celebrate National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, Sept. 24, to encourage Americans to exercise their right to vote. In Texas, voters may download an application online at votetexas.gov that may be filled out, printed and mailed to your county's voter registrar. Voter registration applications are also available at City Hall in the City Secretary's Office.
Nearly 50 Department of Public Safety driver license offices will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through Nov. 2 to offer free Election Identification Certificates (EIC), an approved form of identification for those without a photo ID. The Nov. 5 election will be the first in Texas to require voters statewide to show a photo ID at the polls.
EIC applicants must present proof of citizenship and identity. They may also obtain an EIC during regular license office hours. Nearby offices offering Saturday hours include the Garland Mega Center at 4445-A Saturn Rd., and the Plano Office at 2109 W. Parker Rd., #224.
For more information on registering to vote, contact the Dallas County Elections Office at 214-819-6389 or the Collin County Elections Administrator at 972-424-1460 ext. 1990. You may also contact the Richardson City Secretary's Office at 972-744-4290 or visit cor.net/Elections.
City to Conduct Ground Spraying for Mosquitoes
The Richardson Health Department plans to ground spray a single area Sunday and Monday night, weather permitting, in order to help prevent the spread of the West Nile virus. The decision to spray comes after City Health Department workers were notified that a trap located within the subject spraying location returned mosquitoes that tested positive for carrying the disease.
The spray area is from Breckinridge/Toler Park east to Murphy Road and Aberdeen Drive south to Pepperridge Drive. The spraying is scheduled to take place between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m.
Richardson began its West Nile virus monitoring program in April, which is the earliest it has ever begun testing for signs of the virus. The Richardson City Council approved increased surveillance this year due to the heightened incidence of West Nile virus cases experienced in the Metroplex in 2012.
For more information on Richardson's mosquito abatement program please visit cor.net/mosquito.
Lanes on Jupiter Road Closed to Repair Water Line
Lanes on southbound Jupiter Road at Belt Line Road will remain closed for several days as City of Richardson crews continue to repair a water line at the location.
Southbound Jupiter Road is reduced to one lane, and the closure is expected to remain in effect for several days until all repairs are completed. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes until the lanes reopen.
The leak on the eight-inch water line is believed to have been caused by shifting soil in the area due to dry conditions.
Another water line under westbound Main Street just west of Greenville Avenue was repaired by City of Richardson crews Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Revitalization Award Nomination Period Ends
Today was the deadline to submit nominations for 2013 Community Revitalization Awards, which recognize owners who have made significant improvements to their residential or non-residential properties. Nominations received after today will be considered for next year's awards.
The 2013 nominations will be passed on to a Judging Committee that consists of two City Council members, two City Plan Commissioners and a representative of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. The judges will consider how the improvements positively impacted the immediate area and beyond, among other factors. Winners will be honored by the City Council at an awards ceremony in February.

(7 quotes found)
"To be a gourmet you must start early, as you must begin riding early to be a good horseman. You must live in France, your father must have been a gourmet. Nothing in life must interest you but your stomach."

"The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses: / Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts."

We don't like to think we can forfeit a good relationship with God by our choice of things to talk about.
This writing to the people in Rome teaches us if we are being led by the spirit, our minds will be on the things of the spirit.
We need to have a relationship with God that is such we are thinking about Him and our conversation will be dominated by talk of him.
I know the old standard advice is stay away from politics and religion but sometimes we don't realize a relationship with God that is healthy and strong will not generate conversation about religion but will be about the relationship that a loving God desires with those who love Him. It is much more than religion.
Our love for God causes us to think about Him all day long. We want to talk to Him. We want to hear what he has to say to us.
We have great desire to meet with others who love Him and worship him, not as a requirement for our week to be complete, but as a great joy in serving Him and showing his love in this world.
If we really love Him that love will show in the way we love other people.
It will show in the things we want to talk about. Our minds will be on him.
Have you ever seen the way a teenager talks continuously on the subject of that new boyfriend, how he is so perfect and, he is so handsome, so kind, so perfect.
Have you examined your relationship with God who loves you and gave himself for you and continues to reach out to you.
Can you honor Him by talking about him or thinking about Him.
If you thought about him as much as you do the weather or your finances, do you think that might give him a higher place in your life than he occupies now.
I challenge you to read the eighth chapter of Romans and examine your relationship with the Father God in light of the teachings of this chapter.

Discussion in 'TV & Media' started by Aragorn, Feb 20, 2013.
Vote for three!!!
Voted! :-)
I must confess, some of those I don't recognize at all, like Aragorn, BennyRussell, & Kai "the Spy."
Anyway, the ones I voted for are...
JiNX-01 because I love Apollo 13 (even if I think Kevin Costner has a closer resemblance to the real Jim Lovell than Tom Hanks does).
Owain Taggert because it's an unrecognizable actor playing a great character in a fantastic movie. "What you want is not impossible, merely expensive."
scotpens. "All right, let's shoot this fucker!" OR "Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master. I will create my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen that will conquer the world!"
Honorable mention for Larry Flynt as the judge in The People Vs. Larry Flynt.
So I guess Brian Clough and Peter Taylor weren't famous enough for my entry to be included then?
Crap, sorry. I don't know how I missed your entry. I thought I got them all.
Its ok, I don't think I had a great chance of winning given some of the other entries anyway
WOO! I got a vote!
I'm guessing Hanks got the job because he's a better actor (at least I think so).
Finally, someone other than me who's seen "Wild Bill".
If this had been in there, I might have voted for it. I probably would have had Brian Clough replace Jim Lovell. But what you really needed was Colm Meaney as Don Revie. I mean, they say "There's only one Don Revie" but Meaney is an absolutely perfect resemblance. OTOH, Timothy Spall looks nothing like Peter Taylor. And the real Brian Clough kinda looks like a cross between Michael Sheen & David Tennant.
I keep hoping they'll making a sequel to The Damned United about the next phase in Clough's career. Call it The Glorious Forest or something.
Come to think of it, how is it that we have a poll for actors playing real people and it's not completely dominated by Michael Sheen avs? Where's David Frost & Tony Blair & Lucian? (Say what you will, the Lycans really have been fighting a centuries long war against the Vampires. Some day, the world will know the truth.)
I suppose you're right. Although, I suspect it had less to do with acting talent and more to do with enthusiasm for the project. I mean, Hanks has been a major driving force behind lots of other period pieces (Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, That Thing You Do). I kinda got the impression from the DVD bonus features that the main reason why Hanks was in the movie and why the movie got made was because Hanks really wanted to do it. (Plus, at the time, he was pretty hot stuff thanks to Forest Gump, Philadelphia, & Sleepless in Seattle.)
There could be an entire competition on real life people played by Gary Sinise.
So, what's going on with this?
^Looks like a tie between you and scotpens.
Well, I'll happily let him have the win. As it turns out, I probably won't be here if I have to run it and that wouldn't be fair.
Well, someone's ought to do it.
Yeah, go at it, Scotpens. I give it to you. I won't be here in a week's time to run it as I'm heading on a trip.
Separate names with a comma.

Magners League Round 9 Preview
'Tis the season for a derby
December 24, 2009
Edinburgh's Chris Paterson will hope for easier kicking conditions at Firhill on Sunday © Getty Images
Cardiff Blues 42 - 13 Dragons Glasgow 25 - 12 Edinburgh Munster 35 - 3 Connacht Leinster 15 - 3 Ulster Scarlets 14 - 21 Ospreys
For those who find the peace and love a little bit too much at this time of year there comes a weekend of Magners League action that should see no love lost across the fields of Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The top two fight it out in Scotland in our Game of the Week as Edinburgh take the trip to Firhill on Sunday level on points with leaders Glasgow. It's the first of two Scottish derbies in seven days and the games will go a long way to testing the title credentials of both sides.
They don't call December 26 Boxing Day in Ireland, but that might change after an evening which will see Munster host Connacht and Leinster welcome Ulster to the RDS.
Munster's preparations have been completely overshadowed by the news that Denis Leamy has been ruled out of action for between four and six months with a knee injury. The versatile back-row pulled up in the closing stages of Sunday's Heineken Cup victory over Perpignan and was forced to undergo surgery at a clinic in Dublin on Tuesday. The reigning Magners League champions will also take to the field without captain Paul O'Connell and four others who started at the Stade Aime Giral.
The man who pulled the strings in France, Ronan O'Gara, leads the side on Saturday and two of the try scorers, Denis Hurley and Jean de Villiers are also included in the starting line-up while Man of the Match Paul Warwick can be called on from the bench should the need arise. Ireland A international Felix Jones gets a run at fullback and Ian Dowling replaces Doug Howlett on the left wing.
Fullback Gavin Duffy will captain the Connacht side, while centre Keith Matthews and flanker Johnny O'Connor return to the side after injury.
Ulster will look to bounce back from their Heineken Cup loss to Stade Francais by recording a league double over Leinster. However, the Ulstermen travel south without four key players in Andrew Trimble, Paddy Wallace, Tom Court and Stephen Ferris, all of whom have been rested after their exertions in Paris. Academy player Jamie Smith starts at fullback, with Darren Cave and Ian Whitten paired in the centre while Niall O'Connor starts at fly-half in the place of Ian Humphreys, who moves to the bench. Bryan Young replaces a rested Tom Court as loosehead prop. Ferris is replaced at by David Pollock at blindside with TJ Anderson at openside with Chris Henry leading the side at No.8.
Leinster, meanwhile, will be without CJ van der Linde for the visit of Ulster. The South African prop was forced off after just 28 minutes of last weekend's Heineken Cup victory over the Scarlets in Dublin with a calf problem and has been left out of the squad completely. Nathan Hines has been included, though, despite the fact that the Scotland lock had be replaced three minutes into the second half of the Scarlets clash because of an injury. However, Jonathan Sexton remains sidelined with the broken fingers he sustained in Ireland's win over South Africa last month. The fly-half is now expected to make his Leinster return in the January 2 clash with Connacht.
There are two changes to the pack that started last weekend's 39-7 victory over the Scarlets with Stan Wright coming into the front row to line up alongside Cian Healy and John Fogarty. Malcolm O'Kelly, a second half replacement for Hines, starts alongside skipper Leo Cullen with Kevin McLaughlin continuing his back-row partnership with Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip. The backline remains unchanged which means that there are five full Ireland internationals including Eoin Reddan - who again partners Shaun Berne at half-back - and Brian O'Driscoll who starts at centre alongside Gordon D'Arcy.
The aforementioned Scarlets will look for a Boxing Day boost against the Ospreys in a mouthwatering Welsh derby at Parc Y Scarlets with the hosts expecting a record crowd. Scarlets welcome back winger Morgan Stoddart following his recovery from a hamstring injury while Phil John gets the nod at loose-head for Iestyn Thomas. "If there ever needed to be any added significance for this game - there certainly is for this one on Boxing Day," said head coach Nigel Davies who has been boosted by top-ranking Scarlets players Matthew Rees, Ken Owens, Daniel Evans and Iestyn Thomas all signing new deals this week. "This fixture is about more than individuals, it is a massive game in its own right and is all about passion and pride and the team that wants it most will win it."
Ospreys head coach Sean Holley is also hoping for a performance to match the occasion with with lock Ian Gough set for his 50th appearance for the region. Elsehwere fullback Lee Byrne is named on the bench after a length lay-off with a foot injury where he is joined by prop Adam Jones. "We've shown signs in the last few weeks that we are heading in the right direction, and we've posted some decent results, particularly in our last Magners League match against Munster," he said. "But, we are realistic about where we are at the moment, we know that we aren't performing as well as we would want to be in certain areas, and that has been the focus in training this week. We'll face a Scarlets team on Saturday who have shown several times already this season what they are capable of, so we know that we are going to have to raise our game another level again if we are going to get anything from the match."
Fourth placed Dragons will look to regain their Magners League form after back-to-back European defeats to Biarritz with a visit to Cardiff on Sunday. Winger Tom James has recovered from his groin injury to make the Blues' starting line-up while Dragons fullback Jason Tovey and captain Tom Willis have overcome ankle and calf injuries respectively in time for the Cardiff City Stadium clash. Hugh Gustafson and Pat Palmer feature in a new-look front row for the visitors, Rhodri Gomer Davies is preferred to Matthew Watkins at centre and Lewis Evans will pack down at No.8.
Blues skipper Paul Tito is well aware of the tough challenge facing his side. "The Dragons have been on fire this season and they deserve to be fourth in the table," he said. "But we have to get on with the job ahead us. We have to stand up and get in their faces. We really have to rip into them if we are to stand any chance of winning."

If you can effectively deal with work units taking a range of completion times, then get the fastest nodes you can or the best bang for the buck. -Dean
