How To Find A Trusted Home Job In Data Entry
By Kelly C WatsonIn this realm of time, the craze of home data entry jobs has almost come to pass. A few years ago these home positions were being flung from left to right and everywhere from animal marketers to your common thieves looking to make a quick buck. This was the craze for awhile. I'm sure you saw the many outlandish ads and claims – "Make $1000 a day doing data entry". This was the big one. So many scamsters jumped on that bandwagon, offering you a promise of "overnight riches". Unfortunately an empty promise, these companies just could not deliver. No one can promise wealth. It comes with a price more than money. It comes with time, effort, drive and consistent work. Not something anyone can guarantee you will do just because you buy their informational products. Many of these companies went out of business as in time they were being exposed for making such outlandish claims. Even though the true possibilities were there to make this kind of income through some. So the few true and genuine companies that were left standing clearly stood the test of time and proved their authenticity. Any one of those that weathered the storm and still stand today, you have a pretty good chance of trusting.
I have been doing a more non-traditional type of data entry myself for some years now and although I haven't become rich, I can say I have definitely made a sizable amount of income from my efforts with the help of the company I joined. They not only gave me guidance, but they paved the way for me and many others to successfully do and learn an entire business from scratch with nothing. No product, no ideas, no website. Although many of the fraudulent companies have since dissipated, there still are some that remain.
There are many different avenues for locating a typist job or job that pays for one to complete specific data entry tasks. Here is a simple list of five trusted job databases you could go through to find a legitimate position for hire.
1. Money Making Mommy: Has been around for many years and has a trusted name and a great reputation for providing information on available jobs in your area.
2. Craigslist: Although you may hear of a lot of craigslist scams, they have actually really piped down in their job section, so not to worry.
3. careerbuilder: Careerbuilder has one of the largest databases of jobs and has a pretty good selection of data entry and home typing positions that are available.
4. Freelancer: This place lists many freelance opportunities where people are looking to outsource workers and will pay you to complete different specific data entry tasks for them.
5. Elance: Elance is another one very similar to freelancer and is very reputable.
Quick Tips On How To Spot A Data Entry At Home Job Scam
1. Free Hosted Website – No genuine data entry company will work off a free hosted site. Whether it only be a 3rd party providing information or a direct employer, this is not anything I would ever trust.
2. No Website At All – Watch out for the many email scams that come with offers of data entry through your mail box and ask for a direct fee right then and there. Always make sure there is a company website behind it in existence. If you're gonna pay for something, never pay through an email. It could be also a trick to hack into your account or get your credit card information.
3. 3rd World Country Offers – Unfortunately the many known scams come from Nigeria and other 3rd world places so always be weary, even if you live there yourself. I hate to say this but it's true. A USA Based company has a much lesser chance of being fraudulent.
4. No Way Of Being Contacted – Always make sure the company has a valid and working form of contact whether it be phone or email or both. This is an absolute must!
Finding a legitimate home based business in data entry is only half the battle. It has to be a clear notion that no one can promise you will make any certain or specific amount of money online, because the majority of these data entry positions do not pay a simple set salary. Many of them pay either a commission-based income or may pay per data entry project completed.
However, a company can tell you a possible round about figure – that is possible or likely and that would be a much more realistic gesture. Of course If you were to be hired as a legal transcriptionist or something to that effect, then one might tell you the position pays $9.00 per hour which is an exception to the rule.
Whether you are looking for a traditional data entry job or starting your own data entry business with or without a website I can help you. My Name is Kelly Watson and I have successfully been doing non-traditional data entry work for over 2 years now. I have spent much time researching and creating informational lenses to help people like you not only understand about data entry but help you find immediate work in the field you desire.

As they form a circular firing squad, Romney stepped back. Rather than engage his GOP opponents, as he's done most of his campaign, he's focused almost entirely on his No. 1 target, President Obama.IN THE COMMENTS: First, the amusing. Mocks the writing in the National Journal — "This almost veers into Bullwer-Lytton territory" — Henry says "Why not go all the way?" and pens a rewrite:
Romney has received cover from the primary's unprecedented volatility (at least since 1964), which has sent a bushel of candidates to momentary stardom atop the Republican field only to be torn down weeks later. Attacks from rivals and media scrutiny have followed each of these momentary front-runners...
And it's not as though Romney, his past rooted in blue-state Massachusetts, didn't supply his opponents plenty of ammunition. They have the bullets; they're just not firing them.
While one candidate after another disintegrated like a clay pigeon at an English hunting weekend, former Governor Romney, encircled with the barrage balloons of his plastic bonhomie, so easily avoided the strafing attacks of candidates Bachmann and Cain, not to mention the kamikaze crash of Governor Perry, that the artillery spotters of the media could only wonder if their radios were broken: the guns of Sevastopol fire into the sea; the assassins' bullet bounces off the ghost shirt of the Mormon underwear; even the bloody dagger of professional ridicule fails to find the heart and the smiling to-be-tyrant only exclaims, "Gosh Brute, lovely day, wot?"Second, the serious. Scott M wrote:
I don't know anyone that was taken in by the calls for a new civility after the AZ shootings. It struck me as just so much more "I want to feel good about something so this is what I'm going to say and assume it fixes the world" bullshit.SGT Ted — noting that my "civility bullshit" tag "speaks for itself" — responded:
It struck me that after the AZ shooting that leftists and Democrat Party leadership were just trying to hang it around Republicans necks, when the shooter was a "leftwing pothead" according to his friends.SGT Ted, Paco Wové said:
You should check out the Althouse comment threads from that day, for example. It took less than 30 minutes for the blame-orgy to start.I just went back and read that long — 292 comments long — thread, and it's just appalling. 12 minutes after I put up a simple post — "U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot, along with at least 11 others, at a political event in Tuscon" — the get-Sarah business started: "Sarah Palin had AZ's 8th district in her gun sights." That came from someone who was taking a distanced attitude about what other people will be saying —"It would be interesting to follow the conversation on teh Internets today...." But soon it was "Remember, the DHS warned us of the rising threat of violent extremism from the political right" and so on, including much push back from commenters who didn't think we should be talking like that.

Acting Secretary Blank Meets with Brazilian CEOs, Promotes SelectUSA Investment Summit
Acting Secretary Blank met with a group of Brazilian CEOs to hear their
priorities for doing business with
the U.S. and to propose possible areas for close collaboration
with American businesses. One area in which U.S. and Brazilian firms can
work together is on infrastructure development, which is one reason why Acting Secretary
Blank is currently leading a trade mission of 20 U.S. firms in a wide range of
infrastructure industry sectors to Brazil, Colombia and Panama. These companies
offer everything from cutting-edge technologies to top-notch services in
engineering, management consulting, and more -- and they are well equipped
to help Brazil meet its robust goals for infrastructure improvements.
Acting Secretary Blank emphasized the importance of a strong bilateral investment relationship -- many global manufacturers, including some in Brazil, are now looking to return manufacturing operations to the U.S., to expand operations here, or to invest in the U.S. for the first time. That´s because there are a host of factors that make America a very attractive place to do business: low domestic energy costs and a stable supply of energy, high labor productivity, strong research institutions that can serve as partners in developing new products, intellectual property protections, and a stable business investment environment.

Two new sports tourers break cover
Yamaha is pleased to announce the availability of the new heavily revised 2018 Tracer 900 and Tracer 900 GT.
Launched three years ago, the Tracer 900 has quickly become established as the definitive Sport Tourer in the growing sub-1000cc class.
Now for 2018, major upgrades are designed to build on Tracer's strengths as one of today's most versatile and exciting all rounders. And the lightweight triple is now available in both standard variant without panniers and GT with panniers and more.
For 2018 Yamaha's team of designers have concentrated on reinforcing the much loved strengths and values of the Tracer 900, while also introducing a range of updates and changes that are aimed at enhancing the bike's touring potential - as well as delivering an even more refined, high quality product.
Improved wind protection and refined body
There's a larger windscreen that offers better upper body weather protection for a more relaxing and enjoyable ride on longer journeys - and with its manual height adjustment facility, it can be quickly set to the desired position. For enhanced passenger comfort the 2018 model also features a revised passenger footrest assembly together with the newly designed grab bars.
Yamaha's designers have also made subtle but efficient revisions to all of the body panels and covers in order to improve the overall look, feel and quality of the 2018 model. A new air intake area on the front cowl gives a more refined appearance, and the design of the fuel tank's sidepanels and sidewings are also revised to enhance the overall style.
Revised rear geometry for improved touring
For 2018 the Tracer 900 is equipped with a newly designed aluminium swingarm (left) as well as revised rear shock settings to further enhance the bike's touring performance, allowing the installation of genuine hard side cases.
Increased rider and passenger comfort
Both the rider's and passenger's seats are new for 2018, and as well as giving higher levels of comfort, they also enhance the premium look and feel of the Tracer 900. The rider's seat can be adapted for height in two positions, high and low, to accommodate your personal riding style. Plus, there's a soft pad on the tank for added rider comfort on longer journeys.
The Tracer 900 also benefits from narrower handlebars together with slimmer and lighter hand guards (above right). The new layout gives a more natural riding position for added comfort, and the new handlebars help to keep the rider's arms out of the airflow at higher speeds - and the reduced width also helps to improve the bike's lane filtering abilities - where permitted.
2018 Tracer 900 new features
• More refined, high quality body panel design
• Narrower handlebars with lighter and slimmer hand guards
• Newly designed seating for increased rider/passenger comfort
• New 1-hand adjustable windscreen for better weather protection
• Revised rear geometry for improved touring characteristics
• New passenger footrest assembly gives greater comfort
• New passenger grab bars
• New rear fender
Tracer 900 technical highlights
• 847cc, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine
• Assist and Slipper (A&S) clutch
• 3-mode Traction Control System (TCS)
• Tracer-specific D-MODE selectable running modes
• Slim and lightweight CF die-cast aluminium frame
• Large capacity long-range 18-litre fuel tank
• Main stand and ABS fitted as standard equipment
2018 Tracer 900GT - Premium specification comes standard
Joining Yamaha's Sport Touring range for 2018 is the Tracer 900GT, a new model that comes with a premium specification as standard. Developed from the Tracer 900 and sharing the same 2018 specification upgrades, the Tracer 900GT is designed to offer sport touring riders the ultimate package at a competitive price.
Genuine hard side cases fitted as standard
The Tracer 900GT comes fitted with quickly detachable 22-litre genuine hard side cases as standard (right), allowing its rider to get up and go from day one.
Full colour TFT instrument panel
Tracer 900GT riders get a unique view from the cockpit, with the latest TFT (Thin Film Transistor) instrument panel (right). Featuring a full colour display, these high specification instrument panel comes with a comprehensive range of information, including gear position indicator, ambient temperature, coolant temperature, current riding mode, fuel gauge and fuel consumption.
Premium suspension
The Tracer 900GT is equipped with a premium suspension package that features fully adjustable front forks offering the rider the ability to set their bike up to suit different loads and conditions. These fully adjustable forks come with a beautiful gold finish.
For easy and convenient suspension set up when carrying a passenger or luggage, the Tracer 900GT features a remote preload adjuster for the rear shock. It's the quick and effective way to set the bike up.
Quick Shift System (QSS)
The Tracer 900GT's Quick Shift System transforms acceleration performance of the bike by allowing the rider to make seamless clutchless upshifts. Based on the system used on the latest MT-09, the QSS gives this premium Sport Tourer an even more exciting character that's sure to be appreciated by performance minded riders.
Cruise control
The Tracer 900GT also benefits from the fitment of a cruise control system as standard equipment (right). It's the same system that's used on the MT-10, and can be set to control the riding speed in fourth, fifth and sixth gear when riding between 50 km/h and 180 km/h. This system is operated by a switch on the left handlebar cluster, and can be used to increase or decrease cruising speed in 2 km/h increments.
Advantages include reduced right arm and hand fatigue on long journeys, and also being able to maintain a constant speed when riding on hilly or uneven roads - as well as being able to set a speed that complies with speed limits that are 40 km/h or above. The system is automatically cancelled by the application of brakes, clutch or throttle, and features a resume button that allows the rider to reset to the previous setting.
Heated grips
The Tracer 900GT is an all weather, all season motorcycle that's built to get across continents, and the provision of heated grips is a real bonus for the serious Sport Touring rider.
2018 Tracer 900GT exclusive features
• Hard side cases fitted as standard
• Full colour TFT instrument panel (Thin Film Transistor)
• Fully adjustable gold coloured upside down front forks
• Rear shock with remote preload adjuster
• Quick Shift System (QSS) for seamless upshifting
• Cruise Control
• Heated grips
Tracer 900GT technical highlights

I'm not a native English speaker and I was wondering, why 'the period' got the letter $T$. I've asked myself the question when I was thinking about stuff related to the frequency. I.e.:
- $f$ - frequency
- $v$ - velocity of a wave
- $a$ - acceleration
all of those have 'generic' markings, but not 'the period'. Was the letter $T$ used to somehow relate to 'time' the period describes? (I just need an acknowledgement really)

How can I install the AMD graphics drivers on Fedora 18? I downloaded the driver from the amd website. I unpacked the driver and ran the "amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run" script. But that gives me an error.
During the installation I get this error:
Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers. /lib/modules/3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver.
Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools.
Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended.
Where can I find the kernel headers? I already did a yum install kernel-headers (kernel-headers.x86_64), but that doesn't solve the problem.

Brad was a great bowling ball full back. I feel that he was the best full back we have had in the past 20 years. Good luck finding anything on youtube.
When the Jets got Fred Baxter to go along with Brad Baxter, that made me happy. I felt like they were brothers and that they truly liked playing with each other. I was like 8. carry on.
From my memory he just seemed like a real powerful battering ram. You could always count on Brad pushing the pile. Never realized he was that tall. Then again I was only 63 at the time.
Overall, I liked Brad Baxter, thought he was a real good player. It was the Bruce Coslet run JETS that I didnt like at the time........
A friend of mine who knew Brad Baxter got me a signed Jets shirt and 3 signed mini pennants from him. He did play on some of the worst Jets teams ever but he was a standout on those teams. He scored 11 TD's in 1991.

Since I became a fan, Al Toon, Freeman McNeil, James Hasty, Mickey Shuler, and Brad Baxter are all the Jets I can think of in the pre-Parcells years that would have been starters on every successful Jet team since Parcells.
And a maybe goes out to Kyle Clifton, Bobby Houston, and a focused Johnny Mitchell (lol)
Brad Baxter was an automatic TD from around the 3 year line as I recall. Tough guy.
I seem to remember Baxter being used at tailback alot. That is when he had his big 11 TD year if im not wrong. I think his nickname was "smooth". I loved to watch that guy run. He was alot like Shonn Green with less speed.

Baxter was a fb when they were all around players and not just a blocking back that gets an occasional pass or run.
I don't know why offensive coordinators have allowed the position to deteriorate to what it is now. I remember when there used to be talk of a balanced running attack with the likes of Snell and Boozer or Csonka and Kick.
I once argued that with Terry Bradway when the Jets had Jordan and Martin and I asked him why couldn't they ever play at the same time. I was surprised when he actually agreed with me.

Rocket Salad with Granny Smith Apples (Mixed Green Salad Recipe)
01.11.11 by Jackie
My husband Lulu and I are finally back home from a long month in Paris. It's good to be home and see the girls again, whom we missed a lot. Lulu got the camera out and showed the family pictures of the wonderful Parisian monuments and delicious food we had.
Over the next few days, I'll be sharing with you the dishes I made on our trip. This particular one is a very simple roquette (also known as rocket or arugula) and apple salad. I paired it with freshly cracked walnuts and pecorino pepper vinaigrette. The crunch and the hint of tart and slight acidity from Granny Smith apples works wonders on this salad. Bon appétit!

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A state Senate panel has voted to let the Michigan Natural Resources Commission decide which animals can be hunted, which could render meaningless a proposed referendum on wolf hunting.
Now only the Legislature can designate wildlife as game species that hunters can pursue. A law enacted in December put wolves on the list. Opponents have gathered petition signatures for a 2014 statewide vote that could overturn the measure.
But a bill approved Thursday by a committee of the Republican-controlled Senate also would let the seven-member Natural Resources Commission designate game species. That could mean wolves are hunted regardless of what voters say.
The Senate's environment committee approved the bill on a party-line vote, with five Republicans in favor and two Democrats opposed. It now goes to the Senate floor.

In a small business, cash is king. You can be a very profitable company and still get choked by a lack of funds. When money is tight, your first thought is probably to get a small business loan or line of credit. While borrowing is an obvious choice, there are a few other often overlooked ways that your banker can help you "max the cash."
1. Use Your Line of Credit Wisely
Make sure you are only using your line of credit for short-term purposes. Using it to buy equipment, for example, is a sure way to strangle your business. Instead, get a term note for immediate equipment purchases or get a separate line of credit for equipment purchases that you may make over the next year.
2. Use ACH Electronic Payments Instead of Checks for Vendor Payments
Most vendors will gladly accept electronic payments. That means no more checks to write, no more envelopes to stuff, and a big drop in your postage expenses. The cash flow benefit comes from you controlling the exact date on which the cash comes out of your account so you can keep your cash in your account as long as possible.
3. Ask Customers to Pay You Electronically
Many customers will welcome the opportunity to reduce their check writing costs, and you will have more predictable collections. No more waiting for the post office to deliver your mail because your customers will send their payments directly to your bank account. As an added security precaution, set up a separate collection account with an ACH debit block or filter. That way, only deposits will be accepted into this account, which mitigates the risk of many people knowing your account number. You can then transfer funds from this account into your operating/disbursement account as needed.
4. Use Deposit Link Services
For those collections that still come in by check, you can add a deposit link to accelerate your deposits going into your bank account. And, since you can make deposits from the comfort of your office until late in the day, well after the bank is closed, you can get your funds into your account much faster.
5. Accept Credit Cards from Your Customers
You already know this if you're a retail business, but any type of business, including manufacturers, service companies, wholesalers, etc., can benefit from accepting credit cards. Yes, it will cost you a nominal percentage to accept credit cards, but the benefits of quicker collections will likely outweigh the cost. Read Mark Sanchioni's previous blog post about how accepting debit and credit cards can improve your cash flow.
There are many ways your banker can help your business, and one of the most important is helping us to understand your cash flow cycle. We can make specific suggestions on how to get more green flowing your way, and have a variety of tools to help. Is your bank helping you by taking the time to learn about your business and making suggestions like this?

Daytona State College has accepted the challenge of Gov. Rick Scott issued today to Florida's 28 state colleges to create bachelor's degree programs that cost no more than $10,000. The goal is to address the problem of rising college costs and student debt.
DAYTONA BEACH — Daytona State College will take up a challenge from Gov. Rick Scott to provide bachelor degrees at a reduced cost.
Scott spent Monday unveiling his initiative at press conferences in St. Petersburg and Orlando, challenging the 28 state colleges to create a $10,000-degree program aimed at making higher education more affordable and results-oriented for Florida families.
Daytona State College proposes to launch an accelerated "Fast-Track Baccalaureate Program" that offers high school students a three-year path through any of the college's bachelor's degrees for $10,000 — a savings of about $3,000 and less than half of what it would cost at a state university.
Daytona State is one of seven state colleges that have already accepted the challenge and identified programs, according to the Florida College System. The others are Broward College, College of Central Florida, Santa Fe College, Seminole State College of Florida, St. Petersburg College and Valencia College.
Daytona State's new program would focus on students such as those in Volusia and Flagler counties graduating from high school in the spring 2013 and entering Daytona State in the fall, college President Carol Eaton said.
Eaton and Scott both spoke at a press conference at Valencia College in Orlando.
The proposals will have to be approved by the Legislature in the spring session, Eaton said.
In a statement, Scott said, "I am issuing a challenge to our state colleges to find innovative ways to offer a bachelor's degree at a cost of just $10,000 in fields that will provide graduates with the best opportunity for employment. As I travel the state, families tell me that they care about three things – getting a good job, a quality education, and enjoying a low cost of living. As a former community college student myself, I know how important it is for us to keep costs low while working to connect students with degree fields that prepare them for great careers."
Daytona State, which launched its first bachelor degree in 2006, offers bachelor's degrees in five areas of education; applied science in supervision and management; and engineering technology.
The proposed fast-track program would charge $1,660 per semester over six semesters by adjusting the cost of bachelor's level courses to associate-level prices.
To qualify, it would have to be a student's first time in college and they have to already have earned 15 college credit hours through advanced placement courses in high school, dual enrollment or International Baccalaureate courses. A student would also have to have SAT scores of at least 500 on all three sections of the test or the equivalent on the ACT, according to the proposal.
Eaton called it exciting that the governor recognizes state colleges as a part of improving the economy in Florida by preparing the workforce.
"It gives an alternative path way for our students. We're very excited about that," Eaton said. "We see this as a great opportunity to continue our partnerships with our K-12 partners."
Currently, the cost for a bachelor's degree for an individual without Bright Futures or an accelerated credit is about $13,264 on average at a state college. The average cost to receive a bachelor degree at a university in Florida is about $24,000, state officials said.
Dwight Lewis, chairman of the Daytona State College board of trustees, said the college is proud to be one of the first to accept the governor's challenge.
"We want our education to be a good buy so when you pay your money to go to school it has value and you can go out and find a job," Lewis said.
Mary Ann Haas of Flagler Beach, vice chairman of Daytona State's board of trustees, said the proposal is "a wonderful opportunity for the people in our community."
"It's going to cost us something, but I think the payback of what we are going to provide for the community makes it an overwhelmingly positive choice," Haas said.
Randy Hanna, chancellor of the Florida College System, said in a statement that the "$10,000 bachelor's degree strengthens our ongoing commitment to increasing access and affordability, making college a possibility for every Floridian."
Frank Brogan, chancellor of the State University System, said in a statement that Scott's challenge to state colleges "complements the hard work already underway by the Board of Governors' Commission on Higher Education Access and Attainment, which has been tasked with creating a roadmap for an organized, cost-effective and valuable system of higher education."
He said "a well-articulated partnership with the Florida College System is a key piece of that effort" and added that tuition for the state universities is "among the lowest in the nation."

An OEM had a machine that developed a problem with a motor-driven porting tool in a high-production application. When drilling a hole, the motor was slow and lacked the torque needed for a quick in-and-out cycle. The positioning motor seemed to work fine — it cycled correctly, and both A and B port unloader valves would dump fluid directly back to tank (without it passing through the return filter) and releasing any force on the fixture when the porting tool was energized. The cycling rate of the machine had dropped almost 50% from what was achieved in the past.
The company's metallurgy lab confirmed that the castings were within material specifications, and the tooling was factory new before asking maintenance help.
The maintenance crew studied the circuit and felt the porting tool motor needed replacing. However, a new motor did not help the cycling rate of the porting tool at all. Both directional valves shifted fine, both manually and electrically. The only thing left in the circuit was to replace the two-stage pilot operated directional valve. They made sure the pilot pressure, (X) port and pilot drain, (Y) port both were configured for external connections. Unfortunately, this didn't help either.
They finally decided to find a pressure gauge and flow meter with a loading valve to further troubleshoot the system. The pressure gauge was installed close to the pump outlet, and the flow meter fit nicely into the main pressure line going to the first directional valve. They found both the system pressure and flow met design specs.
Any idea what the cause of the problem might be?
The porting tool motor circuit was running slow and didn't have much power, but the positioner motor circuit worked fine. The unloader valves in the A and B positioner circuit must be leaking oil to the tank when the porting tool circuit is energized. When the first valve was disassembled, the spool was found to be broken in half.
Tandem type spools are hollow and ported to allow pressurized fluid to flow past the blocked A and B ports and out to tank. This weakens the spool, and if they are cycled at a high rate, fatigue can cause them to break into two pieces. They can still cycle end to end, but when commanded to center, the two halves move in opposite directions and connect all four valve ports together.
In this case, the A and B ports were partially obstructed buy the spool halves. Some of the fluid dumped over the unloader valves, while some flowed to the porting tool motor.
However, their troubles weren't over when technicians installed a new valve. They didn't notice a 65-psi pilot pressure check inserted into the P port of the old valve, and neither valve would cycle at startup. They installed a line-mounted 65-psi check valve between the external pilot line connection and the first valve to solve this new problem.

Hi my name is Sybil. - No I'm Sybil! - No you can't be Sybil because I'm..
Ok enough of that.
The real news is..
I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!
She is a 12wk old Pit bull. I named her Bella because she is just B-E-A-U-tiful.
She's also a handful, but I'm loving it. And because I'm such a wonderful pet mommy I get up early and walk her every morning, so I'm getting more exercise than I have in months.
You want to see her don't you? I'd want to see her too, she really is just adorable. I mean she has these super bright green eyes and big ole floppy ears and.. oh heck why don't I just show you.
I'd really been wanting a puppy for some time now, but wasn't keen on the whole potty training thing. I have all hardwood floors. That's a lot of possible puddles to step in ya know?
I've been browsing craigslist for the past few weeks and last Wednesday morning I checked the pet section and there she was! I emailed the lady and we arranged for me to go 'meet' Bella, who was Scarlett at the time, and see how I liked her.
It was love at first sight. She's so sweet, and loving and I just want to eat her up. So I loaded her and her gate, food bowl and toys in the car and home we went! She got a little excited in the car on the way home and piddled on her bed that was lying on the floor board, but thankfully it was pretty thick (the bed, not the pee) and didn't soak through to the carpet. Then when I got her home she had one more accident right when we got in the door but since then she's been fabulous about the pottying.
Oh did I mention she was already house trained? YAY! I bought some puppy pads and leave one in her pen during the day while I'm at work just in case but so far so good!
I told myself I was going to be really strict about certain things, like bedtime and I had every intention of following through with that but.. I'm thinking Miss Bella may already have me wrapped around her little puppy paw.
She has a super thick duvet cover that's in the corner of my room for her bed. I even bought her a pillow because the first time she went in my room she jumped right up on my bed and laid her head on mine.
And at bedtime she did really good and went and laid on her bed and went to sleep. But she's one smart little girl. Around 2am I woke up and she's curled up behind me with her head on the pillow right next to mine. I put her back on the floor and sent her to her bed, but that didn't last long. As soon as I nodded off she's right back in the bed with me.
I know I could put her bed in the living room to try and discourage her, but I sleep with my door open so she'd just come back in there anyway. Besides, it's not like I have a hot man to share my bed with so I don't mind the company. And she's so sweet, she likes to cuddle and lay her head on my shoulder and it just makes me all warm and fuzzy.
Not to self - pets are nice but they are not to be used as a substitute for real male companionship. That is how the 'Crazy Cat Lady' came to be.
Speaking of male companionship, I've begun talking to a couple of fellas this week. Just chatting, nothing too progressive as of yet, but I'll keep you posted!
Blanco cat isn't too thrilled with the new housemate. He's taken up residence on top of the kitchen cabinets since Bella moved in, but I think with time they'll be come fast friends. Here he is making a fast run for his treat bowl after I put Bella in her pen.
They will get nose to nose and check each other out, then Bella wants to play and starts jumping around and Blanco high tales it to the cabinet top. It drives Bella crazy too, because she wants to play soooo bad and she can't jump up on the cabinet like the cat can so she'll sit in front of the cabinet and whine until she gets distracted by something else, then it's like kitty who?
It's almost 5 and I have some actual work to do before time to go so I'll wrap this up and leave you with some more pictures of my pretty girl. If you have a myspace you can check mine out, I have a whole folder of pictures of her!
Mom's bed is so comfy
What do you mean I have to get down?!
Going for our morning walk.
Oops.. no more stuffed animals for Bella!

Benitez blames rogue blogger for troubles
Chelsea interim boss Rafael Benitez believes his troubled reign as Stamford Bridge chief has been undermined by the interference of a solitary teenage blogger hailing from the Czech Republic.
Benitez is convinced the fabricated quotes suggesting he would 'never take the Chelsea job out of respect for my former club at Liverpool' have haunted him from the moment he agreed to succeed Roberto Di Matteo as Blues boss.
Now Benitez has insisted he never made the comments after again suggesting he was never given a fair chance to prove his worth by Chelsea supporters who have had an agenda against him from the moment he was hired by the club.
"You can have one person in the Czech Republic, making up a quote and saying 'Rafa said this', and then it's repeated over and again," Benitez told the Daily Mirror. "It becomes 'the truth', even though it's not true and it was not true.
"The trouble is you cannot change the perception now of people who are on another continent and read on Twitter the opinion of someone else, who has a blog and wants to write something not true. It's impossible.
"All I could do was concentrate on the things I do well, the things that have made me successful. I have done that.
"I try to have the vision of the big picture. If I'm here, it's because I was successful. I have won all the trophies you can win at club level, in different countries and different teams.
"I know my ability and skill, but you cannot change things now, in this society, especially with Twitter and Facebook - they go so fast."
Benitez claims to have received plenty of positive support from Chelsea fans despite the perception that he is almost universally disliked by the Stamford Bridge faithful and hopes his legacy at the club will one day be remembered fondly.
"I have received a lot of messages and emails here at the club," he added. "Fans said; 'You are doing a good job, carry on. We understand the situation. Don't be worried because we are Chelsea fans and can see what you are trying to do.'
"I think we are doing a great job. Why? Because you can see the team has more balance, has a lot of young players who are learning and progressing in a transitional period.
"We are pleased with the evolution of the team, but you want to win and finish in the top four to confirm all these things. If we can add a good position in the Premier League and two trophies, it will be much better."

I used the checkbox-unity survey to test beta unity 5.0 in Precice.
Completing the survey took me a couple of hours because I thoroughly described the problems I discovered. At the end of the survey I didn't notice that there was a text-field to enter the launchpad login detail and clicked next. An error prompted that sending of the info failed, giving me no option to enter my login-detail and retrying. Clicking 'Previous' regenerated the results and got me back to the login-details. filling my login (no password prompt) and Clicking next displayed 'successful' (within a hundred of a second) but I have the feeling noting has been send.
Is there a way to verify successful submission? I still have the results in a submission.xml file but relaunching checkbox-unity again starts the survey all over again.
I hoped my contribution would be helpful, but if the report isn't submitted, it is useless and disappointing. I found out about the test via http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/unity-5-0-ready-for-testing/

Similar to cirrocumulus clouds, altocumulus clouds are characterized by cloud patches. They are distinguished by larger cloudlets than cirrocumulus clouds but are still smaller than stratocumulus clouds.
Altocumulus clouds most commonly form in middle altitudes (between 2 and 5 km) and may resemble, at times, the shape of a flying saucer. These uncommon formations, called altocumulus lenticularis, are created by uplift in the atmosphere and are most often seen in close proximity to mountains.

Cumulus clouds are fluffy and textured with rounded tops, and may have flat bottoms. The border of a cumulus cloud is clearly defined, and can have the appearance of cotton or cauliflower.
Cumulus clouds form at low altitudes (rarely above 2 km) but can grow very tall, becoming cumulus congestus and possibly the even taller cumulonimbus clouds. When cumulus clouds become taller, they have a greater chance of producing precipitation.

Here's to my safe place.
I found out about 2 months ago that I'm pregnant.
My due date is March 8, 2011.
Here's to being a single mom.
The father of the baby isn't going to be apart of this.
Recently I deleted my twitter and facebook so he would
stop stalking me on there, and trying to see what im doing
at all times. He's crazy, but he brought me this wonderful
little baby in my stomach, so for that i'm greatful. I'm not
scared to be a single mom at all, I'm so excited and ready for
this sweet innocent perfect baby to come into this world,
I'm just ready for the negativity to end.
Here's to the most perfect thing in the world.

Studio Wormbone has come up with yet another mind bendingly deviant release with 'Animal Robotix'. While pushing musical machines to (and often past) their limits, many of the sounds that eminate from the studio equipment seem notably biological in character. Some are unexplainably animalistic and lifelike. During recording sessions, without warning the curious vocalizations of synthetic creatures would call to each other from inside the circuitry, and those fleeting moments are captured - but not tamed - for you here. These are the abstract sounds of imaginary monsters, of extra terrestrial wildlife, and of space zoos of the future. Perhaps some of the file names would help convey what kind of oddity lurks herein:
Intergalactic Whalesong, Heavy Gravity Sloth, Europa Sealife, Den of Abnormality, Jupiter Rainforest, Grumpy Groaner, Cyber Whelp, Centipede Herd, Under Methane Oceans, Subterranean Wombats, Squid Giants Conversating, Slug Thug, Planetary Pig Farm, Lemur Larnyx, Release the Robotic Kraken, Mutated Monkey Madness, Ludacris Monsters, Machine Beasts of Burden.
Sound Categories:
The body of this collection is a wide assortment of lengthy files (50 count) and a large batch of one shot samples (60 hits) for use as appallingly original electro percussion or as staccato punctuation for techno tunes. They would sit beautifully within a number of subgenres like house, drum and bass, dance, electro, glitch, industrial, and IDM, as well as adventurous pop and rock. It should also go without saying that these sounds undeniably belong in film and video game scores.
Formats provided are WAV/AIF in 24bit/44.1khz resolution, and are of course royalty free. Every sample has been professionally recorded, edited, and mastered with the utmost care, is usable with every major audio software program (Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, FL Studio, Acid, Garageband, Ableton Live) and is compatible cross platform with either Mac or PC.
All of these sounds maintain the glossy refinement of Studio Wormbones hyperproduction tools and techniques. All of them are calibrated with precision to make your next production inventive, far sighted, and mind-blisteringly innovative.
Studio Wormbone is a compact and efficient state-of-the-art recording and production facility located in a quiet forest setting just outside the Emerald City of Seattle Washington, USA. Owned and managed by sound designer/producer Trevor Dutton, its resources specialize in all aspects of electronic music and cutting edge audio production.

WASHINGTON | May 6, 2013
The Department of Defense Education Activity's Teacher of the Year, along with other National Teacher of the Year finalists, spent a week touring the nation's capital recently, a visit that included a chance to meet President Barack Obama at the White House.
Daniele Massey, an Algebra I teacher at Vilsek High School in Germany since 2007, was nominated by 15 of her colleagues and three parents.
"That surprised me the most," she said of the parents, whose children were not her students, but needed tutoring. "They needed the help, and I was willing to give it to them. But that's what people do. I felt like I was just doing my job."
Massey also was recognized for her approach to teaching. "For me, it's making a very intentional connection with my students and their families," she said. "I really try to create a partnership. I try to make algebra meaningful to the students."
Massey uses what she called a "flipped classroom." Rather than the traditional lecture during class time, Massey and a colleague produce lectures on a website for students as homework, she said. In the classroom, students work on algebra problems with Massey close at hand to help as needed.
Massey said the technique works well for students and teachers who were frustrated with the traditional learning process.
"We really promote it," she said. "I try to make algebra based on real-life problems," she said, adding that her teaching system also allows her to fill in gaps with military students who moved to Vilsek in the middle of the year and might need to catch up.
Massey also brings in service members to her classroom to mentor students. The service members' influence, she explained, is especially helpful for students who "need an extra boost academically, and might need help with life skills and goal setting."
While here for a week, Massey and the other finalists toured the city and visited memorials, museums, the Pentagon, DODEA headquarters and the home of vice president at the Naval Observatory.
"I kept thinking, 'This is where everything happens," she said. Her husband, Army Maj. Adrian Massey, with the Army's 69th Signal Battalion in Grafenwohr, Germany, was able to come along with her.
The highlight of her trip, she said, was going to the White House on April 23, meeting the president and receiving her award from him. She also got a presidential coin for her husband.
"Going to the White House was very humbling," Massey said.
Massey was among 54 finalists on the trip, one each from every state, DODEA, the North Marian Islands, American Samoa, and the District of Columbia. Jeff Charbonneau of Zillah, Wash., was honored as National Teacher of the Year at the White House ceremony.
Now in its 63rd year, the Teacher of the Year competition is sponsored by Council of Chief State School Officers and the Education Department. DODEA manages schools for military children and teens who live overseas or at U.S. military bases in the United States that have schools in the system. It also supports some 1 million military-related students who attend U.S. public schools.

Obama's standing among voters is hurting Democrats, poll finds
President Barack Obama is dragging down his party and hurting the prospects of fellow Democrats as they head into midterm elections that will determine who controls Congress, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.
Obama is beset by problems at home and abroad. Just 40 percent of voters approve of the way he's doing his job, tying his worst mark in three years and the second worst of his presidency.
Just 39 percent approve of the way he's dealing with the economy and only 33 percent approve of how he's dealing with foreign policy, the worst of his years in office.
By 42-32 percent, voters say their opinions of Obama make them more likely to vote this fall for a Republican than for a Democrat.
And for the first time this election cycle, more people said they'd vote for a Republican than a Democrat for Congress, by 43 percent to 38 percent.
"The Democrats are sputtering," said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the national survey.
Republicans are making the campaign a referendum on Obama, hoping that discontent with the president will help them win control of the Senate and hold their majority in the House of Representatives.
Republicans need a net gain of six seats to gain control of the Senate, which many analysts see as within reach. The Republicans' House majority, now 234 to 199, appears safe.
Obama and the Democrats have introduced proposals that could appeal to their base of supporters, including paying men and women equally, easing student-loan burdens and increasing the federal minimum wage. But support for the Democrats has continued to erode.
In December, voters' opinions split evenly between the major parties. In February, they favored the Democrats by 2 percentage points, 46-44. In April, they favored the Democrats by 6 points, 48-42. Now they lean toward the Republicans by 5 points, 43-38.
Independents are driving the change.
The number of Americans who consider themselves independents has risen since Obama took office in 2009, Miringoff said, and now more of them are supporting Republicans.
Independents break for Republicans over Democrats by 40-26, with 12 percent picking neither party and 22 percent undecided.
"More people see themselves as independents, and those people seem to have bailed on Obama," Miringoff said.
Independents disapprove of Obama's job performance by 53-35 percent. They turn thumbs down on his handling of the economy by 58-39 percent, the same as the national result. They disapprove of his work on foreign policy by 64-31.
Republicans have the edge overall heading into the elections in all parts of the country, the poll found. One surprising source of support: Latino voters give only the edge to Democrats by 40-38 percent. Whites support Republicans by 48-34 percent; African-Americans support Democrats by 64-19 percent.
Foreign crises are helping to drive down Obama's standing.
Just 30 percent approve of the way he's handling the conflict between Israel and Hamas, while 55 percent disapprove. The numbers are worse among independents: 24-60 percent.
Also, just 32 percent approve the way he's handling the turmoil in Ukraine, while 51 percent disapprove. Independents approve by 24-54 percent.
"None of these numbers are pretty," Miringoff said.
Obama's drag on the party is evident across the country, with voters more likely to vote for a Republican than a Democrat by 8 percentage points in the Midwest, 10 points in the South, 11 points in the Northeast and 13 points in the West.
Both genders are more likely to vote Republican than Democratic because of Obama, as are all age groups, whites and Latinos. African-Americans are more likely to vote for a Democrat.
Twenty-six percent of voters think Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Obama, while 69 percent do not. The numbers were the same among independents.
With scant support, impeachment proceedings could produce a backlash that would help Democrats.
By 43-38 percent, voters said they'd be more likely to vote for a Democrat than a Republican if Congress started impeachment hearings, reversing the Republican edge heading into the elections. Again defining the landscape, independents by 39-32 percent would be more likely to vote Democratic in reaction to impeachment proceedings.
The House voted in July to sue Obama, accusing him of exceeding his authority in delaying the so-called employer mandate, a key provision of the 2010 health care law that congressional Republicans have aggressively sought to kill. The president has called the potential lawsuit a political stunt. Voters oppose a lawsuit by 58-34 percent.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, says such a lawsuit wouldn't be a prelude to impeaching Obama, brushing aside demands for that from a few on the right such as Sarah Palin and former Rep. Allen West, R-Fla.

Mayors: Do gun research right
Major gun control groups and some Democrats want Congress to undo long-standing restrictions on federal funding of gun-related research, saying they have blotted out objective information on a public health priority.
In a forthcoming report shared with POLITICO, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, co-founded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, argues that "the federal government has surrendered its leadership over this area of crucial importance to public safety, shutting down firearm-related research in key agencies and all but allowing the gun lobby to shape our collective knowledge about gun violence." Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and later the National Institutes of Health have faced restrictions on gun-related research.
Story Continued Below
Top Bloomberg advisers met last week with Vice President Joe Biden's working group on a legislative response to the Newtown, Conn., massacre, and made familiar recommendations, such as banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, requiring mandatory background checks for all gun buyers and making gun trafficking a federal crime, said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
But the group is also urging the administration to do away with the "Tiahrt amendments," named after former Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.). He was the original sponsor of what became a raft of riders on budget bills that restrict the collection and distribution of crime-gun data by Department of Justice agencies including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. And the group opposes restrictions that have effectively shut off most firearms research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since the mid-1990s.
How hard pro-gun legislators would push back against lifting the research and data-gathering restrictions is not clear. Several Republican members of Congress contacted for this story either declined to comment or did not respond. The National Rifle Association would not respond to requests for comment, but NRA officials in the past have blasted federally funded gun research as poorly done and biased in favor of greater gun control.
Chris Crawford, a spokesman for Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), incoming chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, said it is too early to say what would be included in any appropriations bill but that Kingston believes "that gun control can and should be part of the discussion and that it must also include mental health, the impact of the media and a whole host of factors which could have played a role. We expect those issues that fall within the subcommittee's jurisdiction to be discussed at our hearings in the coming months."
The fight over the research dates back to 1996, when, after an NRA campaign against CDC gun-related activities, the House cut the agency's budget by the exact amount spent on firearms-related research the prior year — $2.6 million. The law explicitly forbade the agency from using funds to advocate or promote gun control, according to the mayors group's report.
While the provision was not strictly a prohibition on gun-related research, the effect was much the same.
The CDC took notice, and over the next 15 years, funding for firearms-related research dropped 95 percent to about $100,000 in 2012, the report states.
James Mercy, a long-standing researcher at the CDC, told the mayors group that "[p]eople within the Division of Violence Prevention and the Injury Center and among CDC leadership broadly understand that being too out-front on firearm injuries increases the threat to our budget — our budget on violence, our budget on injury and the budget of the CDC more broadly."

Condom Fact Sheet In Brief Cdc-pdf \n [2.2 MB]\n
Consistent and correct use of the male latex condom reduces the risk of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. However, condom use cannot provide absolute protection against any STD. The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner. However, many infected persons may be unaware of their infection because STDs often are asymptomatic and unrecognized.\n
Condom effectiveness for STD and HIV prevention has been demonstrated by both laboratory and epidemiologic studies. Evidence of condom effectiveness is also based on theoretical and empirical data regarding the transmission of different STDs, the physical properties of condoms, and the anatomic coverage or protection provided by condoms.\n
Laboratory studies have shown that latex condoms provide an effective barrier against even the smallest STD pathogens.\n
Epidemiologic studies that compare rates of HIV infection between condom users and nonusers who have HIV-infected sex partners demonstrate that consistent condom use is highly effective in preventing transmission of HIV. Similarly, epidemiologic studies have shown that condom use reduces the risk of many other STDs. However, the exact magnitude of protection has been difficult to quantify because of numerous methodological challenges inherent in studying private behaviors that cannot be directly observed or measured.\n
Theoretical and empirical basis for protection: Condoms can be expected to provide different levels of protection for various STDs, depending on differences in how the diseases or infections are transmitted. Male condoms may not cover all infected areas or areas that could become infected. Thus, they are likely to provide greater protection against STDs that are transmitted only by genital fluids (STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and HIV infection) than against infections that are transmitted primarily by skin-to-skin contact, which may or may not infect areas covered by a condom (STDs such as genital herpes, human papillomavirus [HPV] infection, syphilis, and chancroid).\n
To achieve maximum protection by using condoms, they must be used consistently and correctly.\n
The failure of condoms to protect against STD/HIV transmission usually results from inconsistent or incorrect use, rather than product failure.\n

Red Sox pound Buehrle early, blow out Blue Jays
TORONTO -- Through four April starts, Blue Jays left-hander Mark Buehrle carved up opposing teams like a surgeon.
The Red Sox, facing their division rival for the first time this season, busted out their bats and put an end to his impressive run Friday night.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- Through four April starts, Blue Jays left-hander Mark Buehrle carved up opposing teams like a surgeon.
The Red Sox, facing their division rival for the first time this season, busted out their bats and put an end to his impressive run Friday night.View Full Game Coverage
Boston battered Buehrle, handing him his first loss of the season in an 8-1 series-opening victory over the Blue Jays in front of 29,411 at Rogers Centre.
"If he makes his pitches, he's going to get you out. You've seen his numbers coming into this game, he's been dealing," said A.J. Pierzynski, who went 3-for-4 with two runs scored against his former batterymate with the White Sox. "Luckily for us he made some mistakes tonight and we were able to capitalize on them."
The Red Sox struck early and often, scoring a season high in runs and notching a season-high 16 hits. Boston sent seven men to the plate as part of a four-run second. Pierzynski lifted a sacrifice fly, Will Middlebrooks hit an RBI single and Dustin Pedroia drove in two with a single to give Boston a 4-0 lead.
The four second-inning runs the Red Sox scored off Buehrle, who entered the contest with a 4-0 record and Major League-leading 0.64 ERA, were more than he had allowed in his previous four starts combined.
"I think the game was kind of decided there in the second inning," said Buehrle, who allowed seven runs (six earned) on a season-high 12 hits. "I wasn't hitting my spots as good as I was in the past. When I did, they got some base hits, but overall, too many strikes in the middle of the zone and they took advantage of it."
Boston didn't stop after the second-inning outburst, either. David Ortiz hit a one-out solo homer, his fifth of the season, the following inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 5-0. It was Ortiz's 33rd career home run at Rogers Centre, the second most all-time behind Alex Rodriguez's 36. The home run was also the 378th Ortiz has hit as a member of the Red Sox, moving him one shy of tying Dwight Evans for fourth on the club's all-time list.
Buehrle navigated his way out of trouble the next two frames until Boston chased him with one out in the sixth. Middlebrooks, who was activated off the disabled list before the game, came through again, driving a 1-2 offering to right-center field to double in Pierzynski, giving Boston a 6-0 lead.
The 35-year-old Buehrle was yanked after walking Jackie Bradley Jr., who later came around to score on a bases-loaded walk by Toronto reliever Neil Wagner, which put the Red Sox in front, 7-0.
"We had a pretty clear understanding of how [Buehrle] was going to try and pitch us," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "The most important thing is we waited out those borderline pitches that were good pitcher's pitches that were off the plate to get into some good hitters' counts."
Pierzynski, Middlebrooks and Bradley, Boston's seven-eight-nine hitters, combined to go 8-for-12 with five runs scored and four runs driven in.
Every player in the Red Sox lineup recorded a hit and five of them had a multihit game.
Jake Peavy, who got the nod for the Red Sox, bounced back from a season-worst outing to record his fourth quality start. Peavy got plenty of run support, but didn't need much, hurling a season-high seven innings of one-run ball. The right-hander, who surrendered a mammoth solo homer to Juan Francisco in the seventh, walked two and punched out seven to earn his first victory of the season.
"He has been pitching pretty well all year, we just haven't scored any runs for him," Pierzynski said. "It was nice for him to get his first win and get on the board. He was awesome, he made one mistake, it was the home run. It was really far, too."
Peavy found the zone much more consistently than he had in his previous three games, in which he walked four in each contest, and believes he's turning a corner in that regard.
"My command is coming, slowly but surely," Peavy said. "It has taken me a minute to hone everything in."
The effort the Red Sox put together was a far cry from Thursday's 14-5 loss to the Yankees in which the club recorded a season-high five errors. After playing one of its worst games of the season, Boston turned around and played one of its best.
"Good team win, we needed it after [Thursday night]," Peavy said.

Students killed in collision
PLAINVIEW – A head-on collision on Highway 70 around Halfway killed two Wayland Baptist University students Wednesday afternoon and injured three others.
Katye Mansdoerfer, a sophomore from Albuquerque, NM, and Reid Rogers, a freshman from Plainview, died at the scene of the accident. The students were on Fall Break and were headed to an unknown location when the accident occurred around 6 p.m. around Halfway, about 12 miles west of Plainview.
One student was airlifted from the scene. Two students were taken by ambulance to Covenant Hospital Plainview; one was later transferred by air to Lubbock.
University officials are providing crisis counseling.
"Words cannot begin to express our emotions at a time like this," said Dr. Paul Armes, university president. "Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the students who lost their lives in this tragic accident. Our prayers are, of course, also with the families whose students were injured and with the occupants of the second vehicle involved in the collision. The Wayland family is deeply saddened by these events."
Katye is the daughter of Rev. Ron and Stephanie Mansdoerfer of Albuquerque. Mansdoerfer is pastor of Northdale Baptist Church in Albuquerque. Reid is the son of Rev. Steve and Debbie Rogers of Plainview, who serves as senior pastor of Trinity Fellowship Church in Plainview.

Golden Rules for collecting Data during drive test
1- Choose the site under surveying to be above the clutter and repeat types of the clutter you would be looking at.
2- Any thing with clutter less than 100 is not enough.
3- Make sure that the GPS surveying option is the same as the one used where the drive test is being performed.
4- Make sure that the Dautch value of the GPS is the same as the one set for the country where the drive test is being made.
5- Better collect data in the format of, Degrees: Decimal Points Degrees.
6- Every 6 degrees you move result is one point change in the whole picture the UK being the reference point at 30, To the left it increases and to the right it decreases.
7- Sampling rate, 40 Samples per 40 wavelengths. To reduce the effect of Radio fading.
8- Sampling can be in Distance and Time. Better do it in Distance especially if you are driving in traffic jams.
9- Do not drive away too much from the site.
10- Drive in to the Site passing through the clutter as well as crossing the clutter
11- Try and drive many roads close to the site unless the clutter is so important.
12- Try to avoid driving the same road twice.
13- Do not drive over a bridge or in to a tunnel inside a clutter area, otherwise take that parts of data a out of the data file collected for this clutter.
14- Make short calls and Long calls, Short calls is the average duration by customers, short calls are to know whether calls will survive the setup and the termination successfully, it also determines the setup time…
15- Long calls are to test the hand over capabilities.
16- Adjacent channels are channels with coverage of 9db more than the serving cell.
17- The co-channel interference is interference from channels have frequency lower the serving channel.
18- For the adjacent channel you could be served from this adjacent channel but the system can not read it and it gives the name of another channel
19- The 6 neighboring cells are those who are listed in the scan list these do not mean that these are the only channels that the phone can see.
20- You have to make sure of the values you are getting out of the surveying equipment do actually make sense.
21- Know the exact power out of the antenna, ERP level, (Effective Radiation Power).
22- Everything about the antenna conditions, during the test time should be reported in the final report.
23- Weather conditions should be reported as well.
24- Know the distance and direction of any buildings blocking your way.
25- Finally, report all sorts of problems.

Subscribe To Trailer For Kevin James's MMA Movie Here Comes The Boom Updates
I've already subscribed
Ever since Paul Blart: Mall Cop became a surprisingly big success in January of 2009, Kevin James has been an unlikely movie star on the rise, whether joining his buddy Adam Sandler in a hit as big (and terrible) as Grown Ups or leading things for himself in Zookeeper, which was considered a disappointment by some but still made $170 million worldwide. And while it's been easy to describe a lot of his humor so far as "fat man fall down," he seems to be going for a little more depth and actual emotion in Here Comes The Boom, his next film set for release later this year. The film's first trailer has emerged online after premiering at Fandango; you can watch it below:
I know nobody really saw Warrior last year, but still, this plot feels incredibly similar to Warrior, in which a teacher does MMA fights on the side to raise extra cash (OK, in the case of Warrior it was cash for the guy's family, not the school, but still). I have no idea how Salma Hayek keeps getting wrangled into these movies-- she's in Grown Ups and the upcoming Grown Ups 2 as well-- but James at least looks to be once again pulling serious comedic weight, while also looking more muscular and svelte than ever.
What I like about Kevin James, as opposed to Adam Sandler, is that he always seems to be working really hard to charm the audience-- even ins something like Zookeeper, which was basically a lost cause. It's no surprise to see that he's working his ass off in Here Comes The Boom as well, and as much as I expect it to be shallow and obvious at every turn-- it's directed by Zookeeper and Click's Frank Coraci-- I kind of want to like it anyway. Sure, it's no Warrior, but there's a part of me that just can't begrudge Kevin James his success.

MEDFORD, Mass. - The No. 14 MIT men's track and field team competed well at the Tufts Stampede this weekend, finishing in first place out of the 20 teams that competed. The Engineers finished with 162 points, leaving a fairly large gap between themselves and Williams College, who came in second place with 85.5 points.
Senior Josh Duncavage (Austin, Texas) started things off on the right foot, finishing in fifth place in the 60 meters with a time of 7.20, earning four points towards MIT's final score. Junior Michael DuPlessis (Wantagh, N.Y.) came in eighth place with a time of 7.60.
In the 200 meters, junior Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) finished in second place by less than half a second with a time of 23.02. He was followed soon after by freshman Michael Kaba (Jackson, N.J.) in third with a 23.16 and classmate States Lee (Charlotte, N.C.) with a time of 23.26. All three of the runners earned points. Lee had a quick turnaround and ran in the next event, the 400 meters, winning with a time of 50.96, crossing the line just three one-hundredths of a second ahead of Gerald Arneaud from UMass Dartmouth.
Senior Patrick Marx (Grand Rapids, Minn.) managed to finish the 600 meters just ahead of a runner from Williams, coming in first place with a time of 1:22.27. Sophomore Samuel Parker (Menlo Park, Calif.) completed the race in 1:22.60, which earned him a fourth place finish, and senior Daniel Ronde (East Northport, N.Y.) came in seventh with a time of 1:25.24.
With his time of 4:24.04 in the mile, junior Justin Bullock (Detroit, Mich.) finished in second place, just two seconds behind the first place finisher from Williams. In the next event, the 3000 meters, junior Matthew Jordan (Matthews, N.C.) came in first in 8:42.55, receiving ten points for his effort. Sophomore Allen Leung (Arcadia, Calif.) was third with a time of 8:46.14.
MIT finished first in both the 4x400 and 4x800 meter relays, narrowly out-running the second place competition in both. The 4x400, which was made up of Kaba, Derek Barnes (Coto De Caza), Samsel and Lee, crossed the line in 3:24.28, earning a new MIT freshman record in the process. In the 4x800, that was made up of Parker, Marx, sophomore Chadd Kiggins (Xenia, Ohio) and senior Jared Forman (Newton, Mass.) completed the event in 8:01.29, finishing less than two tenths of a second ahead of Bridgewater State's A relay.
In the triple jump, the Engineers took second through sixth place, earning 26 points in all. Senior Jackson Wirekoh (Woodbridge, Va.) finished in second place with 13.47 meters and was followed by freshmen Carrington Motley (Pittsburgh, Pa.), Angel Echevarria (Sacramento, Calif.), Arinze Okeke (Hawthorne, Calif.) and Adrian Samsel (Whippany, N.J.).
MIT will return to action next weekend, Feb. 8-9, when they return to Boston University for the Valentine's Invitational. Half of the team will, once again, remain at home to compete in the second MIT Coed Invite on the 9th.
